Chapter 7- A New Light
Two days later, it was Monday. (A/N-Argh…school days!!! Argh…finals!!!) Seto walked all days in crutches. He didn't want people staring at him. Besides, he could already walk. But even though...if he fell and tripped it would look like he had a reason to. He stared coldly down the crowded and equally noisy hallway. He couldn't hear Tea shouting his name from behind him. A shoulder grabbed his arm. He turned around immediately and glared at the person. His eyes soon relaxed though as he saw Tea smiling in her uniform. He smiled slightly.
"Wus up," Tea shouted, "Thanks for bringing me to school. I kinda lost ya with the mob and all…so how your leg?"
Kaiba shrugged and pointed at his leg, "eh…it's okay I guess. I could name a lot of other things that could be worse than this." Yugi and the group ran up behind them.
"Yo Tea," Joey chimed. Seto rolled his eyes as he bent down and whispered into Tea's ear.
"Example number one," Seto said. Tea chuckled and returned to her smiling attitude. Yugi turned into Yami Yugi who immediately smiled when he saw Tea. Bakura just walked beside them eating his snickers, which Tristan kept trying to get since this morning.
"Hey Kaiba," Yami's voice appeared, "I see your leg has gotten much better. Am I right?" Kaiba rolled his eyes again and pushed his way through the group.
"I'm fine, thank you," Kaiba growled though gritted teeth, "Now if you'll excuse me, I can't waste time being with you morons…bye Tea," Seto walked on leaving the group to be. Joey stood in front of the group and walked backwards.
"Sheesh, what's up with him," Joey asked, "ah well, Good ol' Kaiba…eh, you know what they say…all work and no play makes Kaiba go kaboom!!!!" Joey smirked as the rest of the group laughed. Excluding Yami and Tea.
"It is funny, but it makes me wonder what happened to him that made him…be all…well you know…the know it all jerk king," Bakura said thoughtfully.
"Tea should know," Tristan said, looking over his back. Tea quickly turned her face toward Tristan.
"What do you mean," Tea asked.
"Well you are staying with him, right? We saw you get out of his long car."
"By saying long car, do you mean limo?"
"Uh…well…I guess…anyway…any news?" Tea didn't know whether to tell or not. She knew Kaiba kept this secret from everyone for the longest time, so it must be very important that he keeps it that way. But she also knew that if people just gotten to know how his past was, that would be much more lighter with him. She fumbled through her hands, trying to cover the time.
"No news," tea said. She looked down as looked to the side nervously. Yami got a glance of her. His eyes grew with sympathy.
"Hey Joey," Yami shouted, "Bet ya 5 bucks I could beat ya in Duel Monsters today." Joey jerked his head. He smirked and continued talking.
"Betcha 5 bucks I prove ya wrong...I've been practicing Yug," Joey smiled victoriously. He slapped his arms on his hips and raised his head. Tristan just stared off and rolled his eyes.
"Betcha 5 bucks that all Joey's been practicing is eating that cake in his fridge," Tristan smiled. The group laughed as Joey glared at Tristan. Tristan just looked around innocently. He looked toward Joey as his face turned into confusion. He stared at Joey and asked him innocently.
"Do you want a piece of me or something…cause it sure looks like it…. or do you just want a piece of cake?" Everyone laughed except Joey. He lunged toward Tristan to put him into a headlock.
"No I want a piece of whoop-a…"
"The bell is about to ring you guys!!" Tea shouted and giggled. Everyone continued laughing. Tea looked at Yami and mouthed a thank you at him as they ran. He blushed slightly and nodded his head. They headed for their classroom.
"The school bell rang for dismissal. Tea walked off after waving good-bye to her friends. She ran toward Kaiba, who was leaning on the door. She wrapped her arms around herself as her lips shivered. Kaiba instantly knew and took off his blue trench coat. He limped his way toward the cold image and wrapped the warm clothing around her. The fierce wind made the trench coat swayed. She blushed and smiled. The wind was getting rough. A few strands of hair fell on her face. Seto brushed them off and smiled slightly. He quickly led his face down and back up again.
"You do know it's winter, right?" Set said, Tea looked up and smirked,
"Yea," Tea said, "Thanks for the jacket." Tea smiled. She looked down. Seto continued looking at her.
'Fall…fall…fall' Seto looked around. Someone was whispering. The wind rustled. 'Trust, dream, let go' Seto's face filled with confusion. 'Let go, let go, fulfill the…'
"Something wrong," Tea asked. She cocked her head to the right. Seto jerked his head at the girl and shook his head. He smiled and walked to the driver's side. It seemed like a long way there. He stopped. 'The dream within' He twirled around. An image of a familiar angel entered his mind. Eyes of sorrow…Seto shook his head and continued walking.
Tea shrugged and opened the door. She felt comfy inside as she watched the scenery pass by. Seto parked beside Domino Elementary to pick up Mokuba.
"Be back in a sec,"Seto said cheerfully. He pulled out the crutches from the backseat. Tea watched as the brunet slowly walked up to the school doors. Kaiba sat on one of the benches, waiting patiently. The school bell rang and a swarm of children came running out of the 2 class doors. She squinted her eyes until she had a good view of Kaiba. She finally saw him, still sitting down. Soon a blurry image of a boy with long back hair came running toward Kaiba. Kaiba stood up as the younger Kaiba ran toward him. The young boy wrapped his arms around Kaiba so hard that Kaiba fell down. Tea laughed as Mokuba pulled out a box of band-aids out of his backpack to cover Seto. She could hear Mokuba screaming if he was all right. Tea smiled. Seto's face was covered with band-aids. The school kids were almost out of the area. She covered her mouth slightly to hide her laugh. She never knew Kaiba could be this happy and cheerful. She watched as Kaiba laughed and started putting band-aids on Mokuba. The scene gave her a new light on Kaiba.
Kaiba and Mokuba finally got to the car after removing all the band-aids they could find. Seto got into the car and out the key into the ignition. Tea giggled and smiled at Kaiba. Kaiba looked at her with confusion. Tea pointed at Kaiba's cheek, He looked into her rearview mirror. There on cheek was a band-aids of Spiderman. Seto quickly took it off as Mokuba busted out laughing. Seto turned around to mess with Mokuba's hair.
Seto worked in his office after dinner. He stared at the screen as usual as the sky darkened. He reached over to the lamp that illuminated the room, sending shadows over the walls. He couldn't put his mind on his company. His mind always went back to the angel. (Fulfill the dream within? what does she mean…I know that was her…. but…) Seto rubbed his head. (I have a dream? Let go? Let go of what? Fall…what does she mean) He struggled for the answer. (Whom do I have to trust…) He looked up. "I don't get you," He whispered. 'Soon enough you will, soon enough' He sat up. Someone was knocking at the door
"Come in,"
"Umm…it's locked," a feminine voice answered back. Kaiba sighed and got out of his chair to limp his way to the door. He grabbed the brass knob and let the door open slightly as Tea peered in with one eyes. Seto stared at her face blankly and started to close the door. Tea quickly slid her book between the door and doorpost. She smiled in victory. Seto hesitated before opening the door. E stood beside the door as Tea came in with a batch of cookies and 2 cups of milk. She glanced at his leg. (No crutches…that was a quick recovery…ooo, but he's still limping.)
"Thought you needed a snack or something," Tea said shyly. Seto stood there for a moment before grabbing a chocolate chip cookie. His face seemed satisfied. She held her book. "Set-Kaiba, do you have a book I could barrow?" Tea said almost saying his real name. "I finished this book already." Seto continued eating. He nodded and walked out of the room. Tea followed him down the stairs and through a hallway before setting her eyes on 2 magnificent doors. Seto grabbed the 2 knobs and flung the doors open to reveal a library. Tea's eyes widened as she looked around the circular room. The bookshelves were placed in a circular pattern. The doors led a pathway toward the middle, which held a couch, chairs, a table, and a lamp. On the walls were windows equally spaced out throughout the whole structure. Seto turned around and took her hand to lead her in the middle of the room. He sat down on the couch and took another cookie. Tea stood there in disbelief. She slowly sat down, still staring at the gigantic library. It was as big as 3 public libraries put together. Tea opened her mouth in awe as Seto stared at her.
"It's so…big," Tea said in disbelief, "this is…magnificent…I could just dance," She twirled around dreamlessly before she plopped onto the couch. Seto just ate his cookie. "You never told me you had a library," Tea said, still staring at the hundreds of books.
"Never had a reason to," Seto shrugged as he gulped down some milk.
"It's like a ballroom…with books," Tea smiled, "I'm in a mood to dance…if only there was a ballroom or something,"
"2nd door in this hallway."
"2nd door?"
"The ballroom," Seto replied. Tea stood up. She almost tipped over the table. Seto hurried to catch the table before it dropped. He sat back down. "You like to dance?"
"I base my life on it"
"Ahh"
"Can I see it,"
"How about your book,"
"That can wait"
"The cookies,"
"Leave it,"
"The milk,"
"Leave it too,"
"The book,"
"You already said that already, Seto.errmm…I mean Kaiba,"
"Fine," Seto hesitated. He guided her to the room. The doors were the exact same, but the ballroom was different. It was still a circular shape, but the designs were completely different. Tea's jaw dropped. She looked up and stared at the sunlit roof made of glass. The stars and the moon reflected against the soft surface. She pointed to it and looked at Seto.
"This is the only room that isn't covered by an upstairs room…that's why there's a sunlit roof." Tea still looked at the roof. "Mokuba's room is right under this room…only his room is upstairs…so it's kinda like the edge of his room is touching the edge of this room.
The entire roof was made of glass except for the middle part, which was the same surface as the walls. There in the middle of the pale surface roof hanged a chandelier. It was truly beautiful. Tea ran toward the highly equipped radio with surround sound. She looked through the cd's and finally popped in a cd into the radio. The music started playing. The soft slow music played endlessly. The music settles perfectly with the setting. The lights dimmed a little. The stars and the moon sent shadows to the wall. She walked toward Kaiba and made him walk to the middle.
"Dance with me," Tea shouted over the music as it filled its volume in the room.
"I can't dance," Seto explained. Tea held his right hand and held it outward a little bit.
"Please," Tea asked. Seto rolled his eyes.
"My leg is injured," He let go of the grasp and pointed to his leg.
"You walked perfectly fine just while ago," Tea said. She paused, "Please, just this once," Kaiba looked to the side helplessly and looked back as he slowly led his hands toward Tea's. She smiled and started moving side to side. Kaiba blushed slightly as he began to move his body to the slow and gentle music.
"You don't dance bad," Tea said. Every now and then, they would get closer and closer until Tea's hands were wrapped around Kaiba's neck as his rested on her waist. Tea laid her head on his shoulder. The moon and the stars seemed to light only them as the lights dimmed a little more. Kaiba laid his head on hers and smelled the sweet aroma of strawberries. Tea closed her eyes and wrapped her arms tighter and much more closer.
"This is nice," Tea whispered, still closing her eyes. Seto nodded. His face rubbed against her brunet hair. Tea sighed. "Everything is different,"
"How" Seto asked innocently.
You're different…really…really different from what I thought you were,"
"What's so different?" Seto asked, closing his eyes.
"You caring and nice…when you want to be…a good enough person," Seto smiled as Tea clung onto her neck. "And you can dance," Kaiba chuckled and brought her closer until there was no space between them. "Suave," Tea whispered dreamlessly into his ear. Kaiba ran his hand though her hair.
"Shhh…" Seto held Tea, "Mr. Suave is trying dance as good as he can…" Tea chuckled as Seto smiled. They continued dancing.
"Hmmmm…where's my binoculars…" Mokuba said, scrounging on the floor. He grabbed something black from under his bed. "Yes!" Mokuba's attention came from the window. "Is that music?" Mokuba slowly walked over and kneeled down on his chair. He opened the window and looked down though the glass roof. He saw 2 burly images. He took out his binoculars and looked on. His eyes widen. He ran to turn off the light. He sped back to the window. He held his binoculars and set it in front of his eyes as his lips began to curve into a smile. "Hahhaaha…big brother and Tea?" Mokuba giggled, "Ah man…If I was only old enough to sell stuff for profit…"
