Hushpuppy24: Last time, Téa had left Yugi's hospitalities to go back home. Yugi had offered to walk her home, but Téa declined. Soon arriving home, Téa listened to the messages on her answering machine. One of them was from her parents, notifying her that they won't be back for at least another week. Monday soon approached and Téa had finally returned for classes. As Kaiba walked passed Téa, a thought of concern struck her, noticing Seto's pale skin. Inside the classroom, Téa couldn't help but stare at Seto every minute or two. As classes ended, Seto wobbled over to the classroom door when someone called for him. He turned around, only to fall into unconsciousness.
Now continuing with our story...
Chapter 16
******************
Téa sat on the edge of the bed and placed her hand on Seto's forehead. 'Well at least his temperature has gone down a bit.'
* Flashback *
"Kaiba..." Téa called out from behind him. Seto turned around, but his position became unstable as he fell to the ground. "Oh my gosh! Kaiba!" She rushed by his side and lifted his head. His cheeks were blazing red and his forehead covered in sweat. 'You must have a fever!' Shaking him a little, she tried calling out his name multiple times but he still didn't wake up. She tried to carry Kaiba to the nurse's office, but he was too heavy for her to lift, so she went to get help. Leaving the classroom, she spotted Yugi down the hall. "Yugi!" She called.
Yugi turned his head to her direction. "What is it Téa?" He asked.
"It's Kaiba!" Téa exclaimed with worry. At first Yugi wasn't very interested in hearing, but after Téa had told him about Kaiba being unconscious, Yugi offered to help. They ran back inside the classroom and carried Kaiba to the nurse's office. It wasn't easy, but they were finally able to get him there.
******************
Inside the nurse's office, Téa laid Seto down on a chair and went to talk to the nurse as Yugi watched over Kaiba. Approaching the counter, Téa told the nurse Seto's condition. "My friend...he's got a high fever..." The nurse quickly went over to Kaiba and placed her hand on his forehead. Then she went over to the medicinal cabinet and took out some Tylenol.
"Here." The nurse said as she handed the tablets to Téa. "Give him these... You might want to call his parents to come take him home." Téa felt uneasy about this because she remember about Kaiba having no parents at all, so she offered to take him home.
******************
After begging Joey countless times, he finally agreed to take Kaiba to Téa house after Yugi asked.
"I dun see why I even let that creep be sittin' here in my car!" Joey exclaimed as he drove towards Téa's home.
"Come on Joey..." Yugi persisted. "Kaiba needs our help." He looked over at Téa, who was holding Seto in her arms, trying to wipe away the sweat that was dripping from his forehead. Heart filled with hurt and disappointment, Yugi looked away and out the window to see houses and trees passing by quickly.
"You'll be alright." Téa whispered to Kaiba as she wiped his forehead with some tissues.
Joey looked into the front view mirror, seeing Kaiba in Téa's arms. With a peeved look on his face, he asked Téa, "Why do you care so much for that jerk anyways? It's not like he's a great guy or anythin'..." Téa didn't reply as the rest of the way fell into silence.
* End Flashback *
"Why do I care about you so much?" She whispered quietly to herself. She looked down at the sleeping Kaiba, her hand still rested upon his forehead. 'He looks so sweet and innocent when he's sleeping... I guess he's kind of cute...' She thought to herself. 'Nothing like how he acts around people when he's awake...' She smirked a little bit. "Always trying to be Mr. Tough Guy! Now look at you now...sick in bed..." Seto suddenly made a grunting noise and his head shifted left and right on the pillow. Téa took her hand off his forehead as Kaiba slowly started to mumble something in his sleep. Téa leaned forward to listen to what he was saying.
"Mom... Dad... Please...don't...go..." Kaiba mumbled in between stutters. His muscles tensed and his eyes tightened. "Please... Don't leave me...again..." Téa's heart sank as she tried to picture herself losing her parents, not ever having a friend. She brushed Seto's bangs away from his eyes when his hand shot up and grabbed hers. Her cheeks gave a light blush but was also shocked by the sudden movement that she could've sworn her heart had skipped a beat. "Téa..." He whispered as his voice trailed on. Téa was still a little shaken, but had heard Kaiba call her name. "Not you too... I'm...sorry..." Téa's eyes widened at that comment as Seto slowly began to come into consciousness. She quickly slipped her hand out of his grip and tried to make the redness from her cheeks fade away.
Seto's eyes slowly opened as Téa's blurry figure stood before him. "Téa?" He asked sounding quite surprised, but tired.
"How are you feeling?" She asked with a smile, trying to hide her concern.
Seto sat up on the bed and clung onto his head as he replied. "My head hurts a little, but I'm fine."
"Good." Téa said with a sigh of relief. Her voice stiffened at what she had to say next. "What did you think you were doing?! Not eating and standing out on your porch in the rain all day? Who do you think you are?!"
"How did you know?" Kaiba asked coldly.
"Mokuba told me." Téa replied. "Do you know what you're doing to your body? You could've been really sick!"
"Where's Mokuba?" Seto asked, still in his monotonous voice.
"He's in the other room, resting." Téa said much more calmly, but her voice soon rose again. "Do you know how much we worried about you?! If you don't care about yourself, at least think of those around you! You can be so selfish at times!" She crossed her arms across her chest as she looked over at Seto to see what he had to say for himself.
******************
Over in the other room, Mokuba had risen from his rest from the muffled noises in the room Téa and Seto were in. Curiosity taking over his little brain, he decided to go over to the next room to listen to what they were talking about, and also to see his brother too of course. Walking out of his room and closing the door behind him, he made his way across the hall.
******************
Kaiba looked a little hurt, but he managed to mutter out one word. "We?"
Téa blushed, realizing what she had said. "I...uh..." She stuttered. "Ummm..." Her mind busied, trying to find an excuse. Luckily for her, Mokuba came bursting through the doors, just as the silence caused tension.
"Seto!" Mokuba cried out happily to see his brother well again.
'Phew... That was close.' Téa thought to herself. "I'll leave you two alone now... You must be hungry Kaiba... I'll make you some soup." She informed as she walked out of the room and down to the kitchen.
