Hushpuppy24: Previously on chapter 2, Téa had found herself lying in a huge room, wondering where she was. She later finds out that she was in the Kaiba mansion when Mokuba came in to visit her. We also learned what happened after Téa passed out and the fight that occurred in Seto's point of view. Téa is now resting peacefully in her slumber, as the Kaiba brothers get ready to have breakfast.

On with the story then...

Chapter 3

******************

Seto busied himself in the kitchen making breakfast. Mokuba waited patiently as he sat on the couch in front of the television. "I wished this was a Saturday instead of a lousy Thursday morning..." Mokuba groaned. "For one reason, there's never anything good on weekday mornings!"

"Breakfast is ready." Seto informed Mokuba. Mokuba quickly turned off the television and joined his brother at the dining table.

"What are we having today?" Mokuba asked his big brother as he approached with two plates.

"Pancakes with bacon and eggs." Seto responded. Then he went over to the counter to pour himself a cup of coffee and Mokuba a cup of fresh orange juice. He walked back to the dining table and placed the cup down beside Mokuba's plate. Mokuba quickly devoured his helping and guzzled down his orange juice. Seto read the newspaper as he sipped on his coffee.

"Aren't you going to eat your breakfast?" Mokuba asked.

"No, I'm fine." Seto replied without looking up from his newspaper. Mokuba, with a puzzled look on his face, left the dining table and got ready for school. Seto finished reading the article in the paper and called for Mokuba. "Come on Mokuba. Time for school." Mokuba grabbed his backpack and went to sit in Seto's car. "I'll be right back." Seto told his brother.

Then, he poured a cup of orange juice and took the plate from the dining table. He walked up the stairs, balancing the food items equally in both hands. Reaching the door to Téa's room, he set the glass of juice down on a nearby table and knocked on the door.

******************

Téa was fast asleep, but her face looked as if she was in pain.

* Dream *

The thug picked her up from her neck collar. "What's a pretty girl doin' out at a night like this?" The thug grinned evilly.

"Let me go!" Téa shouted as she struggled to get away from the man's grip. She kicked and screamed, and with luck, she kicked the thug in the knee. The thug scowled in pain as he tossed Téa against the brick wall. Téa looked up in fear, as the thug was about to hit her straight in the face.

* End Dream *

Téa suddenly sprung up from her bed and was drenched in a cold sweat, only to hear a pounding in her head, but it was really Seto knocking at the door.

******************

"May I come in?" Seto asked. He leaned close to the door to listen for an answer.

Téa wiped away her sweat. 'It was only Kaiba knocking at the door.' She let out a sigh. "Yea! Come on in..."

Seto opened the door and took placed the orange juice back in his hand. Téa stared as Seto came in through the door.

"Oh...Hi Kaiba..." She said quietly.

"Here's your breakfast if you feel hungry..." He put the plate and juice on the dresser next to her bed. "I'll tell the teacher you won't be able to make it in today. There are some new clothes in the closet. If you have enough strength, then you can change out of those clothes you have on."

"Uh...Thanks." Téa said. 'Is he actually being nice?! That's a first.' "Kaiba..." She managed to stutter. "Could you...tell Yugi and the others that I'm here? I don't mean to be rude, but I'd just like them to know..." She stared down at her blankets waiting for a reply.

Kaiba hesitated. 'Yugi Motou...' "I'll see..." He replied in his deep voice. He walked towards the door to leave just as Téa called his name.

"Kaiba? Ummm...Thanks again...for saving me that is..." She managed to stutter.

"I was just passing by." Kaiba said as he closed the door. Téa watched as he left the room. Then, she stared at the breakfast he had brought in.

'Well, at least I know he won't starve me to death.' She thought to herself as she took the plate of food and started to eat. 'Not bad!' She said amazed by Kaiba's cooking.

******************

"What took you so long Seto?" Mokuba asked as Kaiba slid into the driver's seat.

"It was nothing." Kaiba replied as he turned on the ignition to his car and began to drive towards school.

"Big brother?" Mokuba suddenly spoke up. "May I go to a friend's house this afternoon?"

"A friend?" Seto asked.

"Yes. She just moved here and we got along really well yesterday. She invited me over after school. Can I go?" Mokuba pleaded.

Seto smiled. "Sure." He said. 'It's nice to know Mokuba has a new friend.'

Soon they arrived at Domino Elementary School. Seto dropped off Mokuba and waved good-bye happily as Mokuba ran through the front doors of the school. Kaiba watched as his little brother disappeared into the crowd of students. 'To be young and carefree again.' He thought as he started to daydream.

He quickly snapped out of it though and drove towards Domino High. He parked his car in the school parking lot and stepped out. He soon found himself staring bluntly at Yugi, who was hanging around at the front door with his pals Joey and Tristan. Seto remembered what Téa had asked him to do as he started walking towards the entrance...


Hushpuppy24: That's another chapter for you all! It would've been out earlier, but there was a blackout for like 5 minutes where I lived and it erased a lot of what I typed out. Luckily I still had some parts of it saved. ^^
