Chapee 2: what's a little cold?

Yugi: (hangs up) " Tea's not home, I hope she's okay"

Yami: "maybe we should go after her?"

Yugi: "I've got it" (picks up the phone)

Yami: "who are you calling now?"

Joey: (rubbing his eyes) yeah *yawns*

Yugi: hey Joey

Joey: Yug? what's up

Yugi: can you go look for Tea? She left a wile ago and she's still not home

Joey: (wakes up) wha-? Alright, see ya (hangs up)

Tristan: (was watching tv) who was that?

Joey: come on(put's on his jacket) Tea left Yugi's place and she still isn't home

Tristan: think she got caught in the rain?

They both look outside the window and almost on cue a big bolt of thunder light's up the sky and they rush out the door Tea was still sitting against the wall, the looked up at the building, it was old and the windows were broken and borded up...

Tea: (get's up) "stupid Tea, why didn't you just stay at Yugi's" (walk's toward a door)

she opened the door, and it almost fell off the hinges, she slowly walked inside, hoping she was alone, she looked around.

a voice: who are you?

A guy showed up behind a door followed be three others,

Tea: AAAHHH! (she let out an ear piercing scream)

Kaiba: what the...(stopped and looked around)

sudenly another scream, Kaiba thought he heard that voice before, but he was now running towards were he heard them from, and didn't think again about who it might be

Joey: stop for a second

Tristan: what is it?

Another scream was let out

Tristan: holy shit! That's Tea!

~Mean wile~

Tea had kicked one of the guy's leg, that was all the distraction she needed, she made a dash up the stairs of the old building, but the steps were wooden, and she didn't know if or when they would give way

Tea: ( had stepped on the last step to the second story, but it was rotted and broke, her whole leg went through) *winced* damn

looks at her leg, it had a huge gash in it where the wood was settling in the flesh, it was bleeding a lot, theWorst part was that she was stuck, she wouldn't dare move, it just hurt her leg even more, and there was no way she would even budge without more splinters gathering on her leg, so she just stayed there, and kept quiet hoping the guys downstairs wouldn't come after her, or that some one might come after her knowing she wasn't home. Then she had an idea...

Tea: "maybe some one's near the building, well what have I got to lose"

Kaiba: (looked at the boarded brick building then heard a scream from inside) "that's gotta be where those screams are coming from" ( rushed inside)

there was still two of the thugs downstairs, wile the other two started for the stair, but they all stopped when they say Seto come in

the first guy: who in the hell are you?

Kaiba: where is she?

They all looked at one another, with evil grins

Tea: (was still stuck, she could hear a fight downstairs, but couldn't see) " I wonder if some one came for me?"

Joey: hey, there's some thing going on in there(points at the building)

Tristan: *swallows* what if Tea's in there?

Joey: then come on(they go inside and see some thing they never would have expected) Kaiba: (already done with two of the guys, had his arms wrapped tight around one's throat wile the last one ran away when he saw Tristan and Joey come in

Kaiba: what are you doing here?( In his usual cold voice)

the guy saw that Kaiba's grip loosened a little so he elbowed him in the ribs, Kaiba backed up in the wall and clutched his side, he kicked Seto down, but before the guy could step on him Tristan restrains him wile Joey run's upstair's to look for Tea

Joey: holy @$#%!(slows down when he see's Tea's leg bleeding) what in the hell hapened?

Tristan: (looked towards the stair case as the guy runs off) you alright?(reaches his hand to help Seto up)

Kaiba: (manages to sit up straight, not a word)

Tristan: (runs up to where he saw Joey disapear) whoa! Tea, are you alright?

Joey: (was slowly taking pieces of the rotted wood so Tea could move freely) you okay?(helping Tea get up and out of the hole her leg was trapped in)

Tea's vision was getting blurry, her cheeks were burning red and it didn't help that her leg was torn open, then she just dropped

Tristan: (look's at Joey)

Joey: we better get her home

Tristan: what about Kaiba

Joey: (slaps his forehead) aw man can't we just leave him here?

Tristan: (think's for a second) Tea would probably kill us, if we did that... When Tea opened her eyes, she was sleeping on a bed, she had a white night gown and tubes hooking her up to a machine. She took the tubes off her face and got out of bed, she looked at her leg and sighed, she was hoping it was just a bad dream but she had five stitches right bellow her knee and the rest of her leg was wrapped in bandages, she saw Yugi sleeping on a chair on the other side of her bed and smiled.

Tea: (heard yelling from the room across the hall) what-

Yugi: (wakes up) oh hey Tea...(look's over to the door)

Tea: (walks to the door of the room across the hall) "oh my god!"

the nurse: get back in bed, you're ill

Kaiba: what ever

there were sliding windows in each room, almost big enough to be doors, and Kaiba had it open and was sitting on the edge looking bellow at all of the cars in the parking lot

Tea: ( slowly walks in, not knowing if she should get any closer)

the nurse: this is not what I meant when I told you to get some fresh air!

It appears that Kaiba was typing on his laptop that some one brought in for him, the nurse told him that he couldn't stay on that thing all day and that he needed some fresh air, Kaiba had enough of her bickering, so he opened the window and threatened to jump

Tea: Seto...

Kaiba: (slightly turned around, but one of his ribs was broken, he winced at the pain) what do you want

Tea: ( trying to look reassuring) get down from there(sounding a bit more harsh now) do you really want to kill yourself, Kaiba?

Kaiba: (turns around and starts looking down again) I don't feel like hearing one of you're friendship speeches, Gardener, so if that's why you're here you're wasting you're time

Yugi: (came in and was so shocked he stayed at the door and didn't move an inch)...

Tea: come down from there, right now!

Kaiba: (ignored her, closed his eyes)

Tea: so this is what you want, then? Hu?( Really pissed) then jump!

Kaiba: (opens his eyes and slowly turns around)

Mokuba:( slowly walks in)Seto!

Kaiba: " can't jump now, Mokuba's here"

Mokuba: big brother! (Tugging on the sleeves of his coat) get down from there

Kaiba: ( slowly turned around and got off)

every one was shocked, they tried to get Kaiba down from that window all morning, then Mokuba just came in and begged his brother to come down... And he did, too

Mokuba: (a tear formed in his eye) you weren't actually going to jump, were you, Seto?

Kaiba: of course not, (thinks up some thing quick) just looking outside

Mokuba: can you leave yet? The nurse: he's still not well enough to leave

Mokuba: (stopped his brother) maybe yopu should stay a bit longer if you're still sick

Tea: (went back to her room with Yugi following)

Yugi: what was that all about...

Tea: *sighs*who knows

Yugi: do you really think he would have jumped?

Tea: I don't think so...

Next day was Saturday, no school, Tea was still at the hospital. she had no clue if Kaiba was still there or if he jumped out the window, That day Joey and Tristan visited her and Yugi left the night before, Tristan was all worried about Tea, but Joey said that he knew she'd be fine

Joey: so, you think you'll be coming to school on Monday?

Tea: probably

Tristan: what's going on around here?

Tea: um... Close the door first

Joey: uh okay(closes the door)

Tea: well yesterday, Kaiba almost jumped out the wind-

Joey: what! We go and save his sorry ass and this is what happens, man that Kaiba has issues

Tea: what do you mean(raises a brow at Joey)

Tristan: first of all, we didn't save any body, second I don't think he would have needed our help-

Tea: what are you talking about

Joey: okay, hear me out, Thursday, we heard some thing going on in that old building

Tea: ?

Joey: we went in and found Kaiba beating the living shit out of a few guys, when he saw us, the guy he was beating up had a brass knuckle, punched Kaiba, broke a few ribs, wile I was up with you, Tristan scared the guy off

Tristan: sunshine passed out, so we used his cell phone to call for help, we ended up calling Mokuba by accident and asked him for help

Tea: so...you mean, Kaiba tried to... Save me?

Joey: probably, why?

Tea: no reason "guess Kaiba does have a heart, now I feel bad about yelling at him yesterday..."

Later that day, the nurse said that Tea could go, cause she didn't have any thing broken, but she was still a bit sick.

~Sunday~

Tea's parents were out for a few weeks on a business trip, so Tea was all alone. That morning she made herself breakfast and ate in the living room wile she watched tv, he leg was still bandaged, but it didn't hurt as much as it did when it was still stuck in that board, she thought. Monday Tea's leg wasn't as bad, and was healing ore every day, she didn't axpect it, but Seto was at school that day, she noticed that he grabed his side every once in a wile, but she smiled at the thought that he tried to save her...

Tristan: I hear there's a dance coming up, you going with any one?

Joey: I think I'm going to ask Mai, what about you, Yugi?

Yugi: I don't think I'm going to ask any one

Bakura: I might not go

Joey: why?

Bakura: I don't know

Tea: (walked up to them) hey, guys... What are you talking about

Joey: I forgot

Tea: (ssweatdrops)

Yugi: we're talking about the dance next Monday, you going Tea?

Tea: I'm not sure, I don't really want to go

Yami: "that's to bad"

Yugi: (heard this) maybe you should go, why not?

Tea: alright(gives a weak smile) I'll think about it

Yami: "yes!"

Yugi: (sweatdrops)

~later that day~

Tea noticed Kaiba was in a bad mood... But then again he's always in a bad mood, so she decided to go and try to cheer him up any ways. It was lunch time and Kaiba was sitting alone in the class reading a book. Tea went up to him, she was sure he noticed she was there, but he kept reading.

Tea: hey Seto

Kaiba: (look's up) "what the hell did she just call me"

Tea: ( noticed she made a big oops) so... Is that book any good?( Smiles)

Kaiba: ( noticed his face warming up) " am I blushing?"

Joey: (comes in) hey, Tea!

Tea turns around, Joey whispered some thing to Tea, she just sweat dropped and followed Joey out of the room, Kaiba didn't hear any thing and decided to stay in the class.

~Outside~

Bakura had spray paint and was drawing on the wall of the school

Joey: (whispering to Tea) I told him to cut it out, but he wont listen to me

Tea: ( walks up to him but a voice stopped her)

Twinkie: who do you think it's going to be? Please review, no flaming please, hope you liked it so far, cause this story's going to be long, he he (if you knew me, you'd be scared at my deffenition of long)
