Ok, I had NO intention of writing this next chapter, but I am feeling bad, so here it is.



Chapter Two



Standing up, Seto gained control of himself. No one could out-hack him, so he had no reason to be worried. The only problem would be to instal traps and upload new passwords, and that could only take about a week. 'That's one week too long,' he thought with a grimace. But it was his only choice.unless.unless he tried a counter attack. Like if the idiot tried to log on again, Seto could always just crash the guy's computer. 'But why would he want to? I was the one trying to get into some one else's files.'

So the options were clear. Fail the job or endanger himself. But when Mr. White had sent the secretary, he had made it clear that this was not an offer to be turned down or failed.otherwise the consequences would be dire. Seto didn't know what he meant by that, but it was not something he wanted to test. This Mr. White had the power to take down Kaiba Corp with only one word, and strip Seto of his property and even family. And Mokuba was just too dear for that.

So the second option was the one that was going to be acted upon. To access Tea's files, Seto would need to be fast and cunning. No prob., right? Wrong. This would be extremely hard and possibly dangerous. If that person hadn't been as good, or possibly even better than Seto, he would have been pushed aside easily. But that wasn't the case, and because the guy was so good, Seto had to tread cautiously. 'Who knows? He could even be setting up traps and viruses in my drive right now'.



Four or five blocks away, in a small, cozy looking condo, was a young girl about Seto's age. With short cropped brown hair and wide, blue eyes, she looked completely innocent and kind. But her actions spoke otherwise.

With her feet curled up under her, Tea was checking out a famous CEO's phone bills, looking for clues as to why he had been trying to surf through HER files.

Nothing intresting appeared, and so after a while Tea called it a night and started to shut down, but then something funny happened. Her computer screen blacked out for about three seconds before appearing with a bunny hopping around it. It was like one of those stupid cartoon characters that were always overly hyper and destructive.

Tea drew back in disgust as the thing began to speak. "Yuk, yuk, yuk! Hello Tea! Yuk, yuk, yuk! If you want to know the answer to your problem, go to the Olinda Park at 10:00 sharp!!!!!!! Yuk, yuk, yuk!"

With that, her computer went back to normal. "Right, like I'd go!" She yelled derisevly at it in disgust. Why was everyone after her? She should appear as just an everyday, normal girl obsesed with friendship because it's the only thing that girl has! Unless she was letting her cover slip...but that couldn't be possible! Every one around her seemed to act normally!! Except, of course, for Yugi/Yami. But he would never expose her unless he had significant proof. 'After all, Tea IS Yugi's friend', she reminded herself.

Almost reasured, Tea slipped silently into bed, clothes and all. Just taking off her shoes, she fell into a troubled sleep, where dreams of her past happy life haunted her.

Even though she pretended to be completely hard, she knew that a part of her wasn't yet cold, but never chose to except that fact of her innocence. She was changed, and that was that. No longer that young girl who always wore smiles, she was different now and forever.

But there's always hope, though Tea chose not to accept it - wishing to become hard and have some use in this world. 'Because,' she thought, 'No one loves me.'

And with that, she drifted off.
