((People aren't checking on my story anymore since it hasn't been updated
in so long . Gerf. Oh well. Not that I blame you people for hating me
since I'm an irresponsible author... but I actually wrote another chapter
and it hasn't taken me a couple of months...))
Tea sighed as she dropped her coat lazily on the floor as she walked in the doorway. Seto had needed a little more breaking down at dinner, and he still had too much of a distance for her liking. 'But he's getting there.' The smile that came to her face then was almost sadistic, but she shook her head quickly. 'I'm starting to think like Mai...'
The phone started to ring and she went over to it, wondering who would be calling this late. "Hello?"
"Tea! Hi. What happened to you? I've been calling you all day and you never showed up."
She gasped and put a hand to her mouth. "I'm so sorry, Yugi. I totally forgot."
The reply on the other end seemed disappointed, not that she could blame him. He had been forgotten about and probably waited at the movies for hours, knowing what Yugi was like.
"It's okay, Tea... I understand. I mean... yeah. You must have just spaced... Don't worry about it..."
"Yugi, I'm really sorry." She couldn't believe she'd forgotten about her friend just for a day of shopping and then dinner with Seto.
"It's fine, Tea. It's fine... I-" He paused, she heard the tone of excuse in his voice. "I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow, alright?"
Tea nodded. "Okay, Yugi. See ya." She hung up. Knowing his last statement had been more of a formality than a wish, she sighed. 'I really didn't meant to forget about you, Yugi.'
Trying to life the weight from herself she went upstairs and looked at some of the new clothes she'd bought. 'Maybe I should stop by at Yugi's and try to cheer him up.' She smiled. 'Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll go cheer him up tomorrow.'
She ran back downstairs and grabbed the phone book, running her finger down the V's, muttering to herself quietly. "Valentine, Valentine, Valentine... AH! Valentine!" She smiled and pushed in the number, listening to the ring on the opposite end before a voice became present.
"Hello, Mai speaking."
She leaned back on the wall. "Hey, Mai."

Kaiba came back into the mansion and ran upstairs. He hadn't meant to let things go so late... Knocking on Mokuba's door softly he opened it. "Mokuba?" He saw his little brother sitting at the computer with about five different instant messaging windows open. Seeing that his younger sibling was oblivious to his presence the elder Kaiba came up behind his brother. "What are you doing up so late, kiddo?"
Hearing his older brother Mokuba tensed just slightly and pushed a button on his keyboard and all the windows immediately shrank, and he spun his chair around and he smiled. "Hi, Seto."
Kaiba raised an eyebrow at the sudden hiding of the screens, but just mentally logged it away, so as not to arouse suspicion, before he let the slight inquiry slip off his features. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"
Mokuba looked over at the clock. "Oh, well... maybe." He turned off the monitor and got up to go to his dresser.
"You did get some dinner, didn't you?" Seto let his eyes follow his younger sibling.
A nod answered him. "Yeah, I ordered in some pizza." He stopped opening his drawer and looked back at Seto with a slight hint of worry and guilt in his eyes that he quickly hid behind a smile. "Goodnight."
"Don't you-"
Mokuba cut him off before he could finish. "No, I think I'm alright getting myself in bed." He smirked softly. "I am almost thirteen, big brother."
"I know, Mokuba. I know... Sleep well then." The elder left the room then and when the door was shut behind him a shadow of worry came into the back of his mind. 'What is he hiding from me?'
Seto shook his head, remembering it was almost midnight... Maybe he was just worrying over nothing. If Mokuba was trying to hide something then he had a right to, it was his room, and his big brother had no reason to be invading. But it still worried him. What would there be to hide?
This question hung over him as he walked away from Mokuba's room and headed for his own. It was probably just because he was tired, his mind was making up things to fret over that they didn't need to worry about.
But it still bothered him slightly, and he opened the door and shut it behind him, walking over to his bed he collapsed down on it. He'd left work a little early today so he'd have to make up for that tomorrow... So he might get home late again if Tea wanted to see him again, which considering her mood, she would. If Mokuba was up when he came back then he might question him a bout it a little more. It was troublesome that his brother was still awake when he thought that they'd had the agreement that his little brother was in bed by ten o'clock.
With a hard sigh he shut his eyes. It didn't do any good to worry about it now, if it bothered him too much then he'd ask Mokuba about it then. Now what he had to do was sleep, and not think about any of this or he wouldn't be able to and he'd be no use to anyone tomorrow.
*****************************
Mokuba waited in his room until he heard the sound of Seto's feet not moving, signifying that his big brother had gone to bed. That was when he went back over to his computer and turned the monitor back on. Opening up the now blinking windows he sat down and typed:
Sorry, parent came in. What were you saying?
((And there we go. PLEASE people, I'm being of the sad little begging sort and wishing you people to forgive me for being evil person and not updating T_T I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to be a bad person... Anyway. So sorry. Hope this makes up for it a little at least...))
