Hushpuppy24: On the last chapter, Téa comforted Seto briefly before he returned to his room. While Seto was in his room, random thoughts of Gozaburo ran through his mind, wishing he had never won the chess match that changed his and Mokuba's future. Seto was just leaving his room when he saw Téa down the hall, their eyes locking at each other's gaze.
Let's see what happens next...
Chapter 7
******************
Seto quickly looked away as a picture of Joey laughing at him appeared in his mind. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. The image soon faded away and Seto started walking towards the stairs. "Kaiba..." Téa said gently.
"What?" Seto answered bitterly.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Téa managed to say, "Ummm... About earlier today..." Seto's eyes suddenly widened, afraid of her ever telling anyone of what she saw. Seto looked away as Téa continued stumbling upon her words. "Are you...ok? You...looked unhappy and I thought..."
"I'm fine." Seto stated.
"Do you...want to talk about it?" Téa asked politely.
"Can't you keep your nose out of other people's business?" Kaiba snapped back at her with a cold glare.
"I-I'm sorry..." Téa said quietly as she hung her head in shame. Seto could see tears were forming in Téa's eyes, remembering himself of how he had felt when he was with Gozaburo.
"Sorry." Kaiba muttered as he continued down the stairs.
'Why won't you let other people help you, Seto Kaiba?' Téa wondered as she watched Kaiba disappear down the stairs and into the study.
******************
Seto closed the door to his study as he leaned against the wall, thinking... 'Why did I treat Téa that way? She was only trying to help...and I go and treat her like how I was treated. It wasn't her fault... It was my own!' He slammed his fist against the wall. He slowly calmed himself down and moved to his computer. 'No matter, I'll just busy myself with more work' He thought as he turned his computer on.
******************
Téa stood at the top of the stairs; still worrying that Kaiba may do something he'd regret. 'He nearly killed himself last time at the Duelist Kingdom when he was about to lose to Yugi.'
* Flashback *
Kaiba slowly stepped back. Inch by inch, he came closer to the edge of the castle's roof. "What are you doing Kaiba?" Yami Yugi yelled. Kaiba finally stopped as he reached the edge.
He smirked as he spoke with confidence. "Make your move Yugi, but know this, that if one of my Blue Eyes were to be destroyed, the sudden shock may knock me off the ledge."
"Cut it out Kaiba," I could hear Joey say. For once he was being reasonable. "You know that Yugi would never hurt you!"
"That's what he's counting on Joey," Bakura informed him. "That Yugi will forfeit the match to save his life."
* End Flashback *
'Who knows what he'd do if he was depressed?' Téa thought worriedly. 'I should really go check on him...' She started her way down the stairs when she remembered what Seto had said to her.
* Flashback *
"Can't you keep your nose out of other people's business?" Seto snapped at her with a cold glare.
* End Flashback *
She squeezed her eyes shut as the scene repeated over and over in her mind. She opened her eyes, realizing what she can do. "I know! I'll ask Mokuba to check on Kaiba. Kaiba always listens to his brother." A small smile appeared on her face as she searched the mansion for Mokuba.
She looked in Mokuba's room first, but there was no one. She searched the entire upper floor. She managed to come across Kaiba's room. She entered. It was filled with books and computer programs. The bed was slightly bigger than hers and a mini table was next to the bed. A framed picture sat on the table. Téa looked at the picture momentarily, then set it back down again as she left the room.
She was getting tired from roaming around such a big place. Her head started to hurt a little, but she continued searching, eventually the pain stopped. Finally, she stumbled upon the study. She opened the door slightly, only to hear the clicking of keys from the keyboard. She opened the door a little wider, seeing Kaiba staring at the computer screen, typing away. Téa just stood at the door, but Seto didn't seem to notice. "Ummm... Kaiba?"
Surprised, Seto turned away from the computer screen and faced whoever that was at the door. "Ever heard of knocking?" He said bitterly as he turned back to the computer screen.
"Sorry..." Téa apologized. Her head began to hurt again. "I was just wondering...if you knew where Mokuba was."
"He's at a friends house." Seto replied, his face still glued to the computer screen.
"Ok." Téa said as she turned to leave the room. Her vision became fuzzy. There were triples of everything and her world began to spin, finally collapsing at the doorway of the study with a thud.
The sudden noise caught Kaiba's attention as he quickly rushed to Téa's aid. He lifted her head from the cold, hard floor as he tried to wake her up. "Téa! Téa are you ok?!" Seto's voice started to quiver in fear. He quickly picked her up from the ground and carried her up to her room. He laid her on the bed gently as he went to go get her a wet towel.
******************
Téa woke up early next morning. The sun had barely risen, only able to see a small amount of light. She placed her hand where her head had hurt the other day and noticed a wet cloth on her forehead. She took the cloth off her head and placed it on the dresser next to her when she noticed a sleeping Kaiba by her side. His head laid against the side of her bed, as his body stretched on the floor. She smiled as she attempted to get out of bed. She took the bed sheets and laid them over Seto to keep him warm. Kaiba's eyes slowly opened, watching, as Téa carefully tucked him in.
Hushpuppy24: Well there's another chapter... Not my best work I guess... -_-|| But I promise the next chapter would have a little more talking...^^ I was kind of distracted by a particular video game, so my thinking ability went to zip...lol^^ But it should be back by now... * innocent grin *
