Hushpuppy24: Last time on chapter 10, Téa decided to leave Kaiba Mansion while Seto and Mokuba were at school. Meanwhile, Kaiba was at school, passing Yugi and his friends talking about the concerns for Téa's disappearance. During class, both Seto and Yugi couldn't concentrate on classes and thought of Téa. School was soon over and Seto drove home earlier than usual. He went into his office to find an envelope on his desk. He tore it open and inside was a letter from Téa. It mentioned that she has left the mansion and thanking him again for all that he's done. Kaiba ran up the stairs to see if it was true, finding only an empty bedroom.
On with the next chapter then...
Chapter 11
******************
"She's gone..." Kaiba whispered to himself. "She's gone because of me... I forced her to leave..." There was a long pause. "But...I wanted her to go. I wanted to be left alone..." His voice stiffened. 'So why do I feel so bad now that she's left?' He questioned himself. Seto took one last look at the room and left, closing the door behind him. He leaned up against the door and closed his eyes, as if in deep thought.
******************
Yugi, Joey and Tristan slowly walked home from school that afternoon. "Hey Yug. You must be real worried 'bout Téa. I noticed you not payin' attention in class. Is it really buggin' ya that much?" Joey asked. Yugi was staring down at the ground he walked upon, not listening to a word Joey was saying. "Yugi?" Joey waved his hand in front of Yugi to catch his attention.
"Huh Joey? Sorry. What were you saying?" Yugi answered as he lifted his head.
Joey let out a sigh and said, "Never mind..."
They soon came to an intersection where they went their separate ways. "See ya Yugi!" Joey and Tristan called out as they headed at another direction. Yugi waved goodbye and continued walking home. As he passed by Téa's street, he quickly took a glance at Téa's house to see if any lights were on, or if the mail and newspapers have been collected. 'Still nothing...' He thought to himself.
After several minutes later, he had reached the Turtle Game Shop. "Grandpa! I'm back!" He called out as he entered through the doors.
"Is that you Yugi?" A voice called out from behind the counter. Grandpa's head suddenly popped up with a stack of duel monsters cards in his hand. "Téa's in your room I think. I picked her up this morning from Kaiba Mansion. She seemed like she was hurt. You might want to go take a look."
Yugi was filled with happiness as he raced up the stairs and into his room. He forced open the door yelling out Téa's name. He found her staring out the window as the sun shone down on her, warming her skin. She turned towards the door when she heard her name, seeing Yugi standing at the doorway. Yugi, filled with excitement, quickly rushed up to Téa and gave her a quick hug. Realizing what he had done, he pulled away from her, blushing slightly. Yugi looked at bandaged wounds. "What happened to you?" He asked as his face filled with worry.
"It was nothing." Téa replied. "Don't worry about it. I feel fine."
"Where were you these couple of days?" Yugi asked his face still filled with concern.
"I was at Kaiba's mansion. Didn't he tell you?" Téa responded.
'Kaiba's house?' Yugi thought in shock. 'But he told me he knew nothing...' "What were you doing over at his mansion for such a long time?" Yugi asked, raising his voice a little.
"I was hurt and he saved me. He healed my wounds and took care of me, even if he wouldn't admit it." Téa looked out the window again as she pictured that morning's incident again. "It's not a big deal."
"That sure doesn't sound like Kaiba. The only person he's ever been nice to is Mokuba and that's already quite a surprise." Yugi reasoned.
Téa whirled around to face Yugi. "That's not true! Kaiba can be nice if he had wanted to. He just has difficulty with it because he thinks nobody cares. You'd be like that too if you were an orphan!" Téa found herself raising her voice at Yugi. Even more unlikely was that she was defending Seto. She gasped and apologized immediately.
Yugi felt as if his heart was breaking when Téa yelled at him, but accepted the apology. He headed for the door when Téa called for him. "Yugi! Where are you going?"
"I'm going downstairs for a snack. You want anything?" He asked with a cheerful smile on his face.
"I'd like a glass of water please." Téa replied politely.
"Ok." Yugi stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him, as he slowly began to walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.
******************
Mokuba awoke from his slumber and wandered down the hall as he gently rubbed his eyes. He spotted his brother leaning against the door of Téa's room. He walked up to him and called out his name. "Seto?" Kaiba opened his eyes, to see his brother staring at him.
"So you're awake." Kaiba smirked as he ruffled his little brother's hair.
"Why are you standing outside Téa's room?" Questioned Mokuba.
Seto hesitated a little before he spoke again. "She left..." He muttered, feeling ashamed of himself that he was the one that made her leave in the first place. He stared blankly at the spiral staircase as Mokuba stood there just watching him.
"Uh... Seto?" Mokuba finally spoke up.
"Huh?" Kaiba looked away from the stairway and to his brother.
"Are you feeling ok? You're spacing out again..." Mokuba said his face filled with concern.
"Yea I'm fine." Kaiba said before he headed down the stairs and into the study again.
