Chapter Four: Realization
Tea watched Joey with amusement as he whirled himself around on a feeble stool. She began to laugh at him once the stool started to squeal nosily. Her laughter met a climax once the stool collapsed under him. Yami looked up from his duel with Yugi to crack a smile at the two. After Tea calmed down she looked at her watch. Yami and her had been at the Game Shop for two hours already. She had to get moving. She had a date with Misty and Serenity at the mall to get a dress for the reunion.
"Well, I have to get going....." Tea said as she stood up.
After Yami placed a card down, he looked over to Tea.
"Where are you going?" Yami asked.
"Mall." Tea said as she grabbed her purse.
"To do what?" Joey asked.
"What else? Shop....and...." She wanted to push Yami's buttons. "I have to look for a date for the reunion." Yugi started to giggle to himself. Yami was about to respond when Tristan ran in, yelling something they could not understand. "Come again?" Tea asked polietly.
"Date.......reunion....." Tristan spat out.
Joey, who was used to this kind of language, nodded.
"Who?" Joey asked.
"Mai Valentine." Tristan said.
Tea, Yugi, and Yami looked at Joey. They knew he had a thing for Mai.
"That's......nice." Joey said as he turned away from Tristan.
Tristan looked at his friend. He didn't know that Joey liked Mai.
"Joey?" Tristan asked softly.
Joey clenched his fist tightly and turned around.
"What?" Joey said rudely.
"Something wrong?"
"No." Joey said as he walked out.
Tristan looked at the group with confusion.
"What just happened here?" Tristan asked curiously.
"Let them explain it to you...." Tea said as she started walking out the door.
Yami quickly walked after her.
"Don't I get a goodbye kiss?" She smiled at him.
"Yeah," Tea said as she kissed his forehead and walked away.
"That's not what I meant...!" Yami yelled as he heard laughter from down the block.
Yami sighed and walked in. He was confronted by Tristan.
"What did I wrong?" Tristan asked.
Yami gave Yugi a pleading look. Yugi just shrugged his shoulders and put a card down.
"Long story......" Yami said as Tristan cocked an eyebrow. "You see...." Yami started.
~Meanwhile~
"Lets check that store out...." Misty said as Tea looked at the store Misty was referring to.
"Um...you know what.....I'm gonna check out that one over there. I'll meet you guys back here in fifteen minutes...." Tea said as she waved and walked away from them.
Tea gave a sigh of relief, she was glad to get away from them. She needed some time to be with herself. She walked into the store and looked around. As she skimmed through some articles of clothing, she finally saw a dress she liked. She took it off the rack and turned around to bump into a familar subject. She gasped.
"Tea," Kaiba said coldly.
"Hello Kaiba." Tea said as she tried to smile.
He grunted and looked into her eyes. Tea felt like he was peering into her soul. She dropped her eyes slowly and cleared her throat.
"So, what are you doing here?" She asked nervously.
"Mokuba wanted me to come." Kaiba said as he looked over to Mokuba who was on the other side.
"Oh....for a second I thought you were shopping....and I thought....'wow Kaiba shopping in a women's section...he's really brave..' and then I...um...yeah....." She said uneasily.
{You can tell she's really nervous, I wonder why? Must be the P. Seto situation....}
He gave a shrewd smile. She blushed slightly. She couldn't believe Kaiba actually smiled at her stupidity. Actually she could. She rubbed the back of her neck and looked away.
"Well.....I better go...." She said. "By the way, are you going to the reunion?"
"I don't partake in such dull events." Kaiba said.
She sighed. He was back to his old self again. She was surprised he didn't bring up anything about P. Seto. She shrugged it off and looked at him. "Well.....goodbye.."
"Hmph...." Kaiba replied.
"Nice talking to you." Tea said polietly.
"I'm sure we will have much to talk about in the future...." He said grimly.
She paused as those words sunk in her head. She swallowed hard and walked out the store, forgetting about the dress she was supposed to purchase. Once she saw her friends, she walked toward them.
"You okay?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah, you look awfully pale." Misty said.
"Never felt better." She said as she gave a convincing smile.
They shrugged their shoulders as they walked out the mall toward Misty's car.
~That Night~
After Kaiba said goodnight to Mokuba, he walked into his unlit bedroom. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he climbed into bed and rested his head against the pillow. He dared not fall asleep. He knew he would just be awoken by silenced dreams and nightmares. As his eyes started to close uncontrollably, Kaiba allowed them to shut entirely. That's when he drifted off into the land of Cairo again.
DREAM: Kaiba's POV
"My plan failed Pegasus, the reincarnations of Tea and Seto have escaped." I called to the sky.
That's when I heard a voice whisper in the wind. I jumped slightly, not expecting an answer to my statement. As I looked around I saw nothing.
"You must bring them back to reclaim your worth." I heard the wind whisper again.
"How? How will I bring them back here?" I called out again.
"There is a spell that you must chant to turn the clock forward. I have left it for you under the words of wisdom." The voice said again.
"Words of wisdom?" I called out. "What is this you speak of?"
Silence. I thought about for a couple of minutes. That's when it hit me. The Bible. As if expected, I found an old sheet of papyrus under the Bible. As I read the spell I dropped to my knees and gripped the grains of sand mounted on the ground as the paper advised.
"Oh creators of heaven and earth, grant me the power the times of our birth." I chanted as the sand turned into a minature hourglass. Curious to see of its power, I flipped it over.
That's when I was sucked into a loophole. As the darkness surrounded me, I saw a light at the end. I walked through it. That's when I was in this strange world of steel carriages (cars) and tall huts (houses, buildings.) My curiosity drifted away, once I saw the lovely Princess walking into a large hut with...the Pharaoh! I followed them sneakily and continued to watch their every movement. As I entered the hut I was surrounded by thick blue walls and marble ground. I followed the Pharaoh's voice up the stairs to a brown door. I heard Tea's laughter from inside. I grinned and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" My angel asked as she opened the door.
I grinned at her. Her mouth opened widely as a shrill scream came out. I grabbed her and was about to make a run for it when the Pharaoh intruded. I smiled at him. After a couple of exchanged words, two men walked up behind me. I identified them as the Pharaoh's guards. I smiled again and opened the loophole with the hourglass hidden in my robes. I dragged Tea into it, knowing very well that the Pharaoh would follow with his comrades. As we entered into a bright flash of light, Tea fainted. I pulled her into my present-day Egypt and placed her on the bed. I grinned at her lovely face, knowing she would be mine and not Yami's. I grunted satisfactorily and left the premises.
END DREAM:
Kaiba almost flew out of bed. He sat up, trying to collect all the information in the dream. He breathed heavily as he did so. He climbed out of bed and walked toward the bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. Once he did so he tried to clear his mind of what he was thinking. He couldn't. As he took one last glance at himself in the mirror, he whispered "I am Priest Seto."
