Hushpuppy24: During the last chapter, Yugi and Téa walked home near complete silence from one another, each stuck in their own thoughts. Yugi, thinking if he should tell Téa how he feels, and Téa, thinking if she should've told Seto she was leaving his mansion face to face. They soon arrived back at the game shop when storm clouds formed above them. Over at the mansion, Kaiba stood on his balcony, being drenched in the rain. Mokuba came by to ask if anything was wrong, but Seto just denied it. Shortly after, Mokuba left, leaving Kaiba standing alone in the rain once more when his head started to hurt, causing him to go back inside. Taking a hot bath and changing into some dryer clothes, he collapsed on his bed and went to sleep. In his dream, he pictured Téa as she slowly floated away from him. Waking up that Sunday morning, he trudged downstairs and laid on the couch to relieve his headache.

Next chapter then...

Chapter 15

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

Seto rolled to his side. 'Maybe standing out there the whole day wasn't such a good idea...' He thought as he rubbed his head to try and ease the pain.

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

"Thanks for letting me stay here for the time being." Téa said nicely to Yugi and his grandfather before leaving for home.

"I'll walk you home." Yugi offered, but Téa rejected.

"No, it's ok. I'll be fine this time." She said as she gave Yugi a warm smile. Yugi's cheeks glowed a slight shade of red, which caught the eye of Yugi's grandpa.

"Ok." Yugi replied as he escorted her out the door. "Be careful!" He gave Téa a wave goodbye, and she did the same as she walked down the street. Returning back inside the game shop, Yugi headed for the stairs leading back to his room when his grandfather stopped him.

"Yugi..." His voice filled with curiosity. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

Yugi's face turned bright red as he replied bashfully with a 'no...' and walked around his grandpa and up the stairs, into his room.

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

Walking along the streets, Téa enjoyed the warm sunlight on her face and the flowerbeds in the gardens of which she passed. Tiny raindrops hung on flower pedals from the drizzle last night. About after a five-minute walk, Téa had arrived at her front door. She dug into her pockets for the key, unlocked the door and stepped inside. Removing her shoes, she went over to check on the answering machine. There were five messages waiting to be heard. There were two messages from Yugi, one from Joey and one from Tristan. All of them from when she was away from school. 'They must've been worried...' She thought to herself. Then an image of Seto's worried face popped into her mind. She quickly shook it off and listened to the last message. It was from her parents!

"Hi honey! It's mom!" The machine played. "Your father and I won't be home for about another week or so. Our flight was delayed due to some technical difficulties. Take care of yourself! Love you." A long beep was heard as the message ended. A look of sadness crossed Téa's face, knowing her parents won't be home for another week. She'd been longing to see them for a while. Ever since her father was promoted, he'd been travelling around the globe quite often. Sometimes even her mom would go along to help out, so she was often left alone to take care of the house and such. Luckily, her friends were always there to keep them company.

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

Sunday soon passed as Monday's school day began. As always, Yugi, Joey, and Tristan stood at the front entrance of the school, getting some fresh air as they waited for classes to begin. "Téa's comin' today right?" Joey asked confusedly.

"I think so." Yugi replied, unsure himself. Just then, he spotted Téa turn a corner into the school.

"Hey you guys!" She shouted as she approached the trio, waving one hand in the air and the other carrying her school bag.

"Morning Téa." Yugi said cheerily. "Feeling better?"

"Uh huh!" She nodded in agreement. A loud honk suddenly diverted everyone's attention to the car that was entering the school, nearly crashing into one of the students.

"Hey watch it!" The student cried after dodging away from the vehicle. The driver continued down the driveway and parked into the parking lot. Stepping out of the car, there stood Seto Kaiba. His eyes narrowed, his cheeks red, and his forehead drenched in sweat. Silently, he walked pass the whispering students and through the front entrance.

Téa hesitated to speak as he passed her. Thinking to herself, 'He looks so pale...and flustered... I hope he's ok.' A worried look crossed her face as she stared blankly at the glass doors where Kaiba last passed. The bell rang moments later as student began to pile from their lockers and into the classrooms.

Seto sat quietly in his desk. Pain pounded at his head, his vision blurry, yet semi-visible. He looked up as he watched Téa enter the room.

She gave a quick glance at him before sitting at her desk. Classes soon started as their English teacher began with a lecture on grammar. Filled with guilt and worry in her heart, Téa soon found herself looking in Seto's direction every couple of minutes.

Kaiba laid his head down on the table, resting it against his arms. The pain drilled through his head as classes continued, one after the other, barely holding on. His body heat rose and his mouth became dry.

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

* RING * The bell rang for lunch as students filed out the classrooms and into the cafeteria. Seto took hold of his briefcase as his other hand hung on to his head. He wobbled towards the doorway when a voice called from behind him. "Kaiba..." He turned around to see who it was just as everything went black.
