In the Name of Love
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. I only own my latest plot.
Tea finally makes her appearance! Anyways, thanks to all those who reviewed wanting me to continue ^^ I'm so happy! For you guys I have an extra cup of tea to keep me awake while I write ^^
Oh yeah I changed the summary cuz I've decided to make it a triangle instead so it'll be more interesting. Besides people love Seto/Tea fics, and Seto/Serenity fics, why not make it both eh?
Although the ending will end with...HA! Now why would I tell you that and ruin it for you eh? I always did love Serenity though, if some of you had noticed how evil I made Tea in my last fic. Then again I might make her a better person this time..who knows? I don't either.
~~
Tea kept in touch with her friends, most of them had moved though. The only ones still in Japan were Yugi, Bakura, and Joey. Yugi took over his grandfather's shop and Joey worked for Yugi. Bakura had gone to go help Isis at the museum, with the occaisional expeditions with his father. The only thing that hadn't changed about these boys was that they stilled love Duelling.
Tea had a change in life. Her dreams of becoming a dancer had changed. She became more conservative and worked in a company as a high executive. That morning she walked into the office. "Good Morning everyone." She greeted as usual with her friendly smile.
Rebecca, Tea's fellow co-worker, walked up to her with a huge false smile plastered on her face, "Good Morning Tea. Here are some of the documents that need to be signed today. Would you be a dear and sign this one first? It's urgent."
"Sure." Said Tea, "Would you mind if I read it first?"
"But there's no time for that Tea. It has to be sent off now, but you know it has be signed by someone as high as you for it to work." Tea gave in to peer pressure and signed the contract. "Thank you Tea." Said Rebecca as she walked off
Later that afternoon Tea received a call. "Hello?"
"Tea come into my office now!" said her boss.
Tea walked into the dark room. Normally it would seem like a normal place to be, but judging by her boss's face, it would not be so pleasent today. "You wanted to see me Boss?"
Her Boss said nothing. He picked up a file and tossed it to her. Tea was confused. She opened the file and saw the contract that she had signed earlier today. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" her boss said. "What's wrong is that this document could have lead to our company's distruction. Haven't you learned to read a contract before signing it? How did you possibly get up to this position without learning such a basic rule?" he shouted. Then he calmed down and sat down in his chair. "I think it's time for you to take a break Tea. You've been working too hard. Our company can no longer have a worked out employee. You are dismissed." As he turned his chair to face the window. Tea couldn't believe her ears.
"So after all my work. I am fired without even a fair trial?" she asked. There was no reply. Tea ran from the room and slammed the door to her office. Tears rolled down her eyes as she stuffed her things into a small box.
Tea thought this day couldn't get worse. She stormed from the office with the small box in her hands. Her sadness became bitterness. She was so angry; she didn't even see the person walking around the corner.
BAM
The two fell to the floor. "I'm sorry." They said in unison. Tea looked up into the blue eyes of the man she had walked into. 'He looks so familiar.'
"Don't recognize me Mazaki?" he asked.
"Kaiba" she would recognize that arrogant voice anywhere.
"Care for a coffee?" he asked in a bored tone.
Tea the ever-friendly girl nodded. They entered a coffee shop and sat down at a table by the window. Seto took a sip of coffee before he spoke. "So how is everyone?"
"They're doing great. How's Mokuba?" she asked.
"He's doing fine. He working at the company as well." He took another sip of coffee. "How's your life? All well at home?" He had no idea why he was even curious. He just wanted to know. 'Has life gotten so bad for me that I need to know the lives of the nobody's around me?'
Seto snapped out of his trance as the girl before him began to cry. Seto sat up straight as the people around them started staring. "Mazaki." He hissed. He looked around. 'Damn people stop looking' he thought. "Look was it something I said? Whatever it was I'm sorry. Now will you please stop crying?"
Tea wiped away her tears as she tried to control her emotions. "I'm sorry. But my life is not great. I've just been fire from my job that I've been working for years in. Most of my friends have moved away. And worst of all my parents died just a few months ago. I feel so alone in this world."
Seto's eyes softened. "I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose your parents."
Tea looked up at Seto. 'Is this the real Kaiba? Since when did he become so sympathetic?'
"C'mon. I'll give you a ride home." He said as he led her to his car. Just before they got in, Tea got up on her tippy toes and hugged Seto. "Thank you Kaiba."
Seto sort of stiffened not knowing what to do. "Yeah yeah, well don't expect it to happen everytime." He said as he pushed her off of him.
Tea smiled. She knew that it was hard for Kaiba to change, but little did he know it, he had already changed a lot during the years.
~~
The phone rang and Tea picked it up. "Hello Mazaki residence."
"Tea? It's me Joey. Are you busy tomorrow?" he said with excitement in his voice.
"I have all the time in the world Joey. I lost my job."
"What? How? Why?" Joey's voice changed from excitement to worry.
"It's not important Joey. What's happening tomorrow?"
"Serenity's coming back from China. Apparently she has finished her martial arts training. Remind why she went up there again?" he said again in his happy voice.
"She wanted to learn to be stronger for you Joey."
"Oh that's right! So are you coming Tea?"
"Of course Joey. I haven't seen her in ages."
"Ok! We meet at Domino Train Station tomorrow at noon. See ya there"
"Ok. Bye."
~~
Upon waiting for Serenity's train to arrive the gang waited under the shelter on a bench. Snow begun to fall from the dark grey sky, it got heavier and heavier. Joey kept pacing.
"Joey could you please stop that? You're driving me crackers!" exclaimed Bakura.
"Sorry Bakura. But it's snowing preety badly out there and Serenity's train is already late."
As if on cue, the horn of a train tooted loud and clear. Joey ran out to find his sister only to be run over by the rush of people leaving the train, in a worry to get home. Slowly as the mob started to lessen, they saw Serenity getting out of the last compartment.
"Seren!" shouted Joey as he ran over to her.
Serenity looked over to see Joey. She smiled and hugged her brother. Joey took her bags over to the rest of the gangs. Serenity hugged everyone. "It's been quite a while." She smiled. ~~
Serenity unpacked her bags. Joey had a small appartment to himself, which was preety adequate. Her room was a quaint medium room with white walls. The room had a mahogany bed and a small desk. 'It must be great to have such a protective brother like Joey. He's a nice boy, hopefully I won't have to eliminate him should he get in the way of Master Marik's plans.'
After finding her large winter jacket, Serenity shouted out to her brother, "I'm going out for a walk Joey. I'll be back in a little while."
"But sis! Dinner's...on?" he looked out but Serenity had already gone.
~~
Serenity headed to the park. She didn't know what it was, but she felt her instincts tell her that she wanted to go here. She walked slowly passing things that felt so familiar to her. She sat down on the bench as she looked out on the pond.
~Flashback
"Big brother can I have some bread crumbs to feed the ducks?" said a young Serenity.
"Sure." Said a young Joey as he handed her a bag of breadcrumbs.
~End Flashback
Serenity sat up. 'Where did that come from? Could it be Serenity's memories? I couldn't possibly have those.' She shook her head as she watched her breath turn to a small cloud in the cold air. Serenity's ears twitched at the sound of someone's footsteps.
~~
Seto was tired of working in his stuffy office. He got in his car and went off for a spin. He didn't know where he wanted to go, he just kept going foward. He passed the downtown park, on his way he noticed a young girl that he recognized. 'Could it be her?' he thought. Seto parked his car and put on his white trenchcoat as he headed for the park.
Seto looked around for the girl. He didn't see someone walk up from behind, "I didn't think that bachelor of the week Seto Kaiba would still remember lil ol me." The brunette turned, there indeed stood no one else but Serenity Wheeler. "What are you doing here?" he asked
She shrugged, "It's a free world isn't it?"
"You still haven't answered my questions." He said coldly.
"You want a coffee? I don't feel like chatting in the cold." She asked as she headed towards a coffee shop without waiting for Seto's answer.
"Hey wait!" he shouted as he followed her.
~~
Serenity was returning with two cups of hot coffee. A waiter came out of nowhere bumping into Serenity causing her to pour the brown liquid onto Seto's "white" trenchcoat.
"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry Kaiba. WHAT ARE YOU BLIND YOU MORON?!" she screamed at the waiter. Seto sweatdropped as Serenity went back to apologizing. 'Talk about moodswings' he thought.
"Come with me" she said as she practically dragged Seto to a clothing boutique down the block.
"I don't shop in cheap places." He stated in his flat monotone voice.
"Wouldn't want you to catch a cold and make me feel guilty now would we?" as she took his hand and pulled him into the shop. She picked out a nice black turtleneck with a beige jacket. Then she shoved Seto in a dressing room and waited patiently outside.
Seto walked out of the dressing room in the picked out clothing. Serenity was quite amazed. 'Well guess he's bachelor number one for a reason.'
The snow had stopped as they exited the shop. "Well I best be going. See ya!" with that she left. Seto smiled, 'She's odd but she's kind of cute.' He thought 'Wait a min. Did I just say she was cute? I must be getting soft.' He headed to his car and realized that Serenity had his shirt and trenchcoat. "Damn!" He was grateful that his keys were in his pants.
Serenity entered a large house. She walked through the empty hallways and made her way to hidden door under the stairs. She took out the card "Change of heart" and passed it through the identity machine, she punched in her number and put her eye up to the retinal scan.
The outline of the door could now be seen and it slid to one side opening a entrance for Serenity. She walked down the hall filled with Rare Hunters. They parted for her like the Red Sea. She finally got to a pair of white doors. She knocked three times and waited till she heard, "Come in"
She entered and went up next to her master. "What have you found about the God card in Kaiba's possession?"
"I have found he doesn't carry it with him. I haven't been able to get into his home yet, it is too heavily guarded."
"Take your time with the card for now. I want you to stay by the pharaohs' group, I still need his puzzle as well."
"Yes master."
~~
~_~ How ironic that Serenity uses the card change of heart. Oh well.
I'm glad I wrote a story that fits your standards Suomynona ^^ Hopefully you'll like the rest of the story too!
