I know the last chapter was rather confusing.. So. leme explain that Seto
and Tea were not themselves then the were.. Yeah. Seto had "let his
ancient self take over." It wasn't exactly said with tea, but the same
basic thing happed. They were Nephret and Set. Not Seto and Tea. There's
no lemon scenes in this chapter so.. It's safe for most readers. (PG-13)
please review (

"Speech" 'Thoughts'
~Chapter 4~
~Flashback~
The pharaoh entered his office and sat down in the blood stained chair. He hadn't bothered sending an army after the priest. He knew Set hadn't left. He was in the city. Waiting for Yami to mess up. Yami sighed and looked at the note on his desk, written in blood.
"Beware the white lightning," he muttered, reading the note out loud. The pharaoh shook his had, setting the note down. He stood up and left the room, arms crossed over his chest.
"Don't walk away form me pharaoh, we have business to discuss," came a voice from the entrance to the pharaoh's office.
"Not today Malik. We'll do this some other time." The pharaoh replied, turning to his adviser.
Malik stepped in front of the pharaoh, "I want him taken care of. We can't let him run around like this. If you care about you people at all, you will get rid of priest Set!"
"And you think I'm the one who wants to take over?" came Set's voice from a dark corner, "Sounds like you have this guy to deal with first," He said, stepping out of the corner and motioning towards Malik.
"I am completely loyal to the pharaoh and to prove it, I challenge you to a shadow game on the pharaoh's behalf." Malik said calmly.
Set smiled. Shifting his staff form one hand to the other, he nodded to Malik, "Alright. Let's do this." He said, also just as calm.
Set turned and walked out the door to the palace to the shadow arena. The pharaoh sighed and followed, Malik at his side.
"Fetch Nephret. She wouldn't want to miss this." Set said to a nearby servant when he entered the arena. The servant nodded and ran off to find the girl.
The pharaoh took his place on the throne and waited. Soon a large crowd had gathered to see the duel. Set's eyes searched the crowd for his love, waiting for her to show up. Eventually, Nephret managed to push through the crows and join Set. She clung to his arm, looking up at Yami who was staring directly at her.
Yami stood up, "let the shadow game begin." He said, trying to sound enthusiastic about Malik dueling for him.
"I'll start this off priest," Malik said as a group of low class priests began the summoning chat. "In the name of the Pharaoh, Yami, I will summon the winged dragon, guardian of the fortes to the field!"
A blue dragon appeared on the field. Yami took his place back on the throne, never taking his eyes off Nephret and the priest at her side. The priest looked up at the pharaoh and smirked as Nephret whispered something in his ear. He turned to look at her, kissing her gently then turning back to Malik, still grinning. "I'll summon la Jin, the Mystical Genie of the lamp!"
[Author's note: The genie was not invented in Egypt and therefore, this is very un realistic but I'll use it cause it's in the show and that's basically what this story is biased off of.]
"Ancient monster, hear my cry," Set continued, summoning the monster himself, "Come forth and defend me with your might.
Malik covered his face with his arm as the monster summoned by Set destroyed his own. Smirking, he looked at the pharaoh and nodded. Yami then turned to Nephret who was now glaring at him.
"Don't celebrate just yet priest. I'm not through with you. You'd better get the girl out of the way. It would be a shame to see her get hurt," he said, referring to Nephret.
Set's eyes grew cold. He hated it when people tried to tell him to make Nephret do what he wanted. She would never do what anyone wanted. He looked at Nephret, "Would you like to move aside love?"
She looked surprised, "You know the answer. Why bother asking?" "Just proving something to this idiot," He said motioning to Malik, "She doesn't want to leave so finish your move."
Malik shrugged, "shame. Ah well, I summon," He paused, smirking at Set, "The dark Magician! In the name of the Pharaoh, I summon thee!"
The dark magician appeared on the field as the low class priests recited the chant. Malik ordered the creature to attack. It easily destroyed the monster Set had on the field but Malik wasn't done. He ordered the Monster to attack again, not giving Set a chance to defend himself. The dark Magician launched a direct attack at Set. Nephret screamed and pushed Set out of the way, taking the full blast from the dark magician.
"No!" Set yelled as Nephret fell from the blast. He ran to her and knelt down at her side, picking her up gently. She didn't move. He glared at the pharaoh.
Yami jumped up when Nephret was hit. He looked to Malik, "Now look what you've done! How dare you hurt her!" His eyes became a deep crimson as he glared at Malik. He then turned back to Set, "let her go. I will take care of her."
Set looked up at the pharaoh, "You won't touch her. And I'll finish this duel in the same unfair way my opponent did. Blue eyes white dragon! I summon thee! Come forth and attack my opponent!"
The blue eyes white dragon attacked Malik's monster then attacked him as Set had ordered. Malik fell to the ground, knocked unconscious from the blue eyes. Set slowly got to his feet, still holding Nephret in his arms. He looked to the pharaoh, muttering "beware the white lightning," under his breath. He then walked through the crowd, disappearing from sight, Nephret still lying motionless in his arms.
~End Flashback~
Tea slowly opened her eyes, emitting a tired moan. 'What happened last night?' she thought as she blinked a few times, trying to figure out where she was. She rose her head a bit to find that she was in bed with someone. She gasped lightly and jumped back. "What the hell?" She said to herself. She hadn't yet taken the time to figure out who she was in bed with until they moved.
Seto rolled onto his side with a groan and opened his eyes. Upon opening them he found himself staring directly at a very surprised tea, "What the hell are you doing here?"
She glared at him angrily, "How the hell am I supposed to know. And you don't think I'm any more confused than you are? I just woke up, starch naked, in bed with Seto Kaiba."
Seto looked down, realizing that he didn't have any clothing on. "Hmm." He said, looking back to tea, "This is interesting. Think, last thing I remember is dueling Malik." he stopped. "Malik." He whispered to himself. His eyes shot up, looking directly at tea, "It's you! Your Nephret!"
tea looked at him, very puzzled, "You know who I am. And I'm not Nephret, or whatever her name was."
"No, It's you. You don't remember? I finally realized my past. and so did you! I. I was the priest.. Like she said.. She was right.." Seto said, stammering wildly.
Tea was getting rather scared. She had never seen Seto freak out like this. She grabbed one of the blankets from the bed and wrapped it around herself as she got out of the bed and gathered up her clothing.
"What are you doing?" Seto asked as he sat up in the bed, watching her.
"I'm getting out of here. You're scaring me. Leave me alone." She said, sounding very frantic.
Seto looked at her for a moment then stood up, pulling his pants of as he did, "Your not leaving." He said, getting between her and the door. He looked at her, a sinister smile on his face for a moment. Tea backed away from him, fear in her eyes.
Seto took a few steps towards her then stopped. He paused for a moment, not speaking, not moving, barley breathing. "Tea," he whispered, looking down at the ground, "I. I'm sorry." He looked up, "please don't go. I. I.. I love you." He said, his eyes becoming filled with tenderness, the sinister smile wiping from his face.
Tea shook her head and made a dash for the door, running past him and slamming the door behind her. When she reached her own room, she stopped to see if he had followed her. After she was sure she was alone, she locked the door to her room and fell on her bed, sobbing.

"What do you guys think happened with Tea and Kaiba last night?" Tristin said as he Joey, Yugi, and duke sat around in one of the living rooms of the mansion.
"I hope they didn't. I mean.. Well.. You know.." Yugi said, blushing slightly.
Joey shuttered and leaned forward, "I know I shouldn't be tellin' you guys. but she's had herself a crush for a long ass time"
"No way!" Tristin said, looking at Joey, wide eyed.
"You mean I'm the only one that noticed?" Duke asked. "But while we're on the subject, I used to own a game shop so when I did, Seto Kaiba was one of my best customers. I was emailing him one day when I got this email that I think was supposed to be sent to someone else. It said something to the effects of, 'I can't get tea out of my mind. Do you think I might live her? If I do, how would I ever convince her to love me back? Help me out here. I need some advice.' I didn't respond.. I just deleted it."
There was a moment of silence until Seto Kaiba walked into the room, "Have you losers seen Tea?"
"Wha's it to ya?" Joey asked, standing up and holding out his fist, "How are we posed' to know you ain't gona rape her er something?"
"Joey, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Yugi said softly, standing up a bit, not raising his voice.
"Yugi, would you care to explain this to you little friends?" Seto said, glaring at Joey.
Yugi looked at the others, "I don't think so Kaiba. They aren't ready. Besides, neither of us know enough of the story to tell it right."
Seto sighed and nodded some, "Alright. If you see Neph. Tea let her know I'm looking for her."
Yugi nodded and Seto left.
