To Tame a Dragon Tamer by ilukaiba (who does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Chapter 4
"Wake up Miss Gardner!!!"
"Huh?"
"Miss Gardner!!!! Wake up before I give you a detention!"
Tea woke up promptly. 'Oh SHIT!' she thought as she found herself in the middle of math class. All of the students were laughing at her... well almost all... Seto Kaiba was sitting at his desk with a hurt expression on his face. Mr. Gordon was standing above her. He was obviously in a bad mood.
"Miss Gardner... kindly answer the problem on the board!"
"Uhh... well... I... I don't know the answer..."
"Well maybe you should pay more attention during class. Maybe Mr. Kaiba, my star student, can help you out..."
"105,250,546.39501..." answered Kaiba promptly.
"Thank you, Mr. Kaiba, I see you have been paying attention during class! Class dismissed!"
"God... that man is so fucking boring!" Tea turned and saw Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and Mai approaching her.
"Hiya Tea! Where were you last night... I tried calling you but you weren't home!"
"Oh sorry Yugi... I was... uh... at someone's house..."
"Duke's?" asked Joey mischievously.
"No!" said Tea, "He... uh... he was... well... he broke up with me..."
"Oh! I am sorry to hear that! You two made such a good couple!"
"Yeah..."
"So where were you anyway?" asked Tristan with curiosity.
"Well... uh... don't jump to any conclusions... you see... it was raining so I took shelter at Kaiba's mansion..."
"WHAT?!?!?! You went to KAIBA's house?!?!"
"Joey... you don't understand!"
"Oh I understand perfectly... you are going out wit Mr. Moneybags..."
"Wow... how far did you two get?"
"MAI!!!! I am NOT going out with that jerk Kaiba!!"
Kaiba froze when he heard his name. He was quietly sitting nearby, while reading his book. 'They all hate me... Mokuba hates me... I am a reject! I am a cold-hearted loser! No one cares about me!' He looked at Tea angrily. 'How DARE she! That bitch! After I took her in to my mansion... this is how she repays me!'
Tea suddenly noticed Kaiba seated two desks away. They glared at each other in silence. Joey turned and noticed him too.
"Whadd'ya staring at bastard?!"
"I have the right to do what I want dog-boy!"
"Why you little..."
"Shut up you two! Don't waste your breath on that jerk Joey... And we didn't do anything at the mansion... I promise!"
"Good..."
"Guys... we'd better get going or we'll miss the bus!"
The group piled in to the yellow school bus, except for Kaiba, who had decided to walk that day and think his thoughts over. Tea was also walking home, since her house was a few blocks away.
Tea ran home... she was expecting a call from her parents after school and couldn't wait to hear from them. The last time she had spoken with them was two weeks ago. They were going to stay at their hotel for a few more days, but they said they would be coming home the following weekend.
When Tea arrived home, she waited by the phone, hoping that her parents would call soon. Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hello... Daddy?"
"No Miss Gardner... I am afraid this is the Police Department."
"Oh... I am sorry... I was expecting a call from my parents..."
There was a brief pause at the other end. "Miss Gardner... I am sorry to say that your parents were killed in a car accident this morning. If there's any thing we can do for you..."
Tea dropped the phone. She was shocked. "Mommy, Daddy... dead?" She ran out of her house crying. She ran onto the sidewalk sobbing loudly. She collapsed on the ground, not noticing a certain tall brown haired someone walking nearby.
"Gardner? What's wrong? Did you lose another boyfriend?"
Tea looked up at Kaiba. "It's my parents... they... they died in a car crash today..." She continued to weep at Kaiba's feet. Kaiba's cold heart softened when he thought about the day his parents died.
'It was so unexpected... I was upset for days... Poor Tea... She must feel just like I did those many years ago...'
"Tea... uhh... I am sorry about your parents..." He bent down and stroked her hair. "I understand what it feels like... and if you need me for anything... feel free to ask me..."
Tea nodded slowly, stiffening as she felt Kaiba's cold fingers run through her soft brown hair.
"If you want to stay at my house for a while, you can..." He looked into her sad eyes. "I'm sorry..."
Tea looked at him and a sudden chill went through her spine. She felt strange as she gazed in to his romantic blue eyes. Suddenly, she leaned forward and kissed him. Kaiba was too confused to kiss back, but he didn't push her away either.
They broke apart and blushed. "I didn't mean to..." began Tea, "You see, I am just so confused about my parents and..."
Kaiba kissed her, this time holding her in his arms. He ran his arms up and down her thin body. They lay on the sidewalk kissing passionately until...
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!"
Kaiba looked up at Joey who stood fuming above them. "What does it look like I'm doing Wheeler?"
"IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SEDUCING MY BEST FRIEND!!"
"I am NOT!"
"I'm sure..."
Tea looked up at Joey with tears glistening in her eyes. "Joey... it's not like that... see... my parents died this morning so Kaiba was trying to comfort me..."
"Yeah! By taking advantage of you!"
"He wasn't, Joey!"
"Yeah... well... wait till the guys hear about this..."
"You better not tell anyone Joey!" yelled Kaiba threateningly.
"Don't count on it!" said Joey, as he ran towards Yugi's house.
Tea and Kaiba looked at each other. "Uhh... Seto? I mean Kaiba..."
"Call me Seto..."
"Uh... okay... uh Seto... I am sorry..."
"Same here I guess..."
"Well... do you mind if I live with you?"
"Of course not! Why don't we pack your bags right now..."
"Uh... okay..." replied Tea uneasily.
Once they had packed her bags, they set off for the Kaiba mansion.
