Why is everything so confusing? Tea asked herself, as she lay awake that night. It seemed as if the entire world had gone mad; turned upside down. Or perhaps, had simply come crashing down upon her. He hadn't come! He hadn't come! And why then did fate intend to toy with her heart? She dearly wished she'd never left the river now. Wished he hadn't found herwished she'd perished beneath the waves. Simply vanished. For, she saw now, it could never be. The revolution pained her. She could never be with Seto Kaiba, she saw that now. No matter how badly she wanted it to be, the fact remained they were, above all else, still opponents; still on opposite sides of the arena. Would always be. He was Kaiba, and she was Tea. No earthly power could change that. That was all. They existed in two separate worlds, on two different planes. The barriers between them could never be crossed. Impossible! If it's so impossible, then why can you still see it in your mind's eye?, the voice asked impishly. And indeed she could visualize it, but she put the though out of her mind; convinced herself it could never be more than thata mere thought...
She heard Kaiba come down the stairs a bit later. She groaned, as she rolled over to greet him, muscles still very sore from her ordeal. He blushed as he realized she was still awake. "I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable." He shrugged, and collapsed into a nearby armchair.
"You don't have to keep watch, Kaiba. I'm fine," she grinned, noticing how tired he looked. The lids of his eyes dropped, rebelling, as he fought to stay awake.
"What if I said I couldn't sleep anyway?" he glared, yawning.
"That's not true Seto! I heard the alarm go off!" Mokuba yelled from somewhere upstairs. Seto blushed once more. Tea gracefully pretended she hadn't heard him, nor noticed the flush even now spreading rapidly over his features.
"Night." He muttered, and stomped upstairs. All the while cursing Mokuba hotly under his breath. Tea almost felt sorry for Mokuba But, she reasoned as she watched Kaiba go he probably deserved what was coming to him anyhow. She wondered vaguely if Seto knew about the chat they'd had earlier. Probably not.
Tea awoke as bright spring sunlight poured into the room from the vaulted windows above. She yawned, stretched, and noticed the sleeping form of Seto that occupied the armchair beside her cot as she sat up. He grinned as he awoke, embarrassed by rather pleased all the same.
" Must have dozed offI came down here to read a little while ago and get some work done. I'm sorry if I woke you."
" No, you didn't," she smiled, noticing that despite all he'd said his lab top lay disconnected on top of the nearby desk. It was clear it hadn't been used in a while, judging by the layer of dust and silt that had formed upon it's surface "I'm usually up pretty early. Used to having to get ready for school."
"Yeah, me too."
"Kaiba, tell me something Did you tell Yugi and them that I'm here? I'm sure they're worried about me. They're probably searching the city by now."
"They're coming by later to pick you up. I called him last night, Yugi's grandpa offered to come pick you up later on today. They came by to see you last night, but you were still out of it. Call me Seto, by the way, Tea."
"Okay, thanksI can't thank you enough for caring for me. I know I've probably put you out, but I really appreciate it. I've had a great time here. I'll look forward to seeing everyone again though."
"Tea, can I ask you something?" Kaiba inquired, looking into her sea eyes, face ashen, " Would you like to spend another night here? Not because you're hurt, but because you want to? I'd love to have you" he blushed, he'd spoken without thinking. "I mean, I'd love it if you stayed." He stammered, clarifying, very red.
"I couldn't. I'd just be an imposition. I've been here too long as it is"
"You call one night an imposition? Please, Tea. I'd love to have you here with me. We'd have a lot of fun I can definitely promise you a good time."
"Kaiba, I mean, Seto, I'm sorry, I can't. Look, we need to talk."
"Then let's talk. Shoot."
"I can't be with you. You know that; I know that. It couldn't work. We both know it" It was clear by her expression her heart wasn't behind her words.
" It could work and you know it. We both know that!"
"Seto, no, I'm sorry. I love you, but I can't." tears welled in her eyes.
"No, Tea, you won't," he corrected, expression horribly blank, " You won't, it's as simple as that." Fire welled in his eyes, a resignation of sorts. This was, in a way, worse to watch than tears. He looked like a man who'd no idea where or even who he was. His eyes reflected only numb and utter shock.
"I love you Seto! But don't you see? I'm Tea; you're Kaiba!" she was yelling now, pitch rising.
"Tea, just remember that I love you now and for always. I love you, but if you refuse to make this work, than this is a parting of the ways. If you don't have the courage for this, than this is a parting of the ways. If you don't have a backbone than you're not meant for me. I promise that I'll never hurt you."
"Seto!" she was sobbing now, "I love you too, but than this is the end. I'm not the one for you."
"Than why does my heart tell me you are?" despite his iron stigma, teardrops made their way, snaking, down his cheeks, " I guess you're not. Truly than this is goodbye"
"Yeah, than it is." She choked, sobbing, as he walked awayforevermore.
The Endor is it?
My dear readers, you decide. Should I continue this or not? I'm trying to decide. I'd originally decided to stop it here, but now I'm not so sure. (Beyond that, my best friend, Joey's Girl, is threatening me within an inch of my life because I turned this into an angst fic.) If I continue this, they will eventually get togethershould I or should I not continue. I must warn you that if I do, I will not post for awhile because I'd have to write it out. Leave your responses in your reviews.
