Don't worry I am not a person to leave my stories unfinished. If you've seen some of my previous stories I usually update daily, unless I am really suffering from serious writer's block or I'm really really really really busy or working on another fic ~_~.
Depending on in a way the point of the vue I am using, Seto kaiba might be known as Seto or Kaiba.

It had been over a week since Tea lost her job. She'd been trying to find a job but it was hard to find a paying job and even harder to keep it. Tea exited the boutique she had just applied for a job. It was the tenth, "We'll call you". Almost everyone who had told her that never did.
Tea was happy that she had stayed in her parents' home. At least she didn't have to worry about paying the rent since her parent already owned the home. However if she wanted to put food on the table it was necessary that she find a job as soon as possible, she didn't know how long her savings would last her.
Lost in thought she didn't notice the person following her, that is till the person tapped her on the shoulder. Tea jumped at the sudden contact. She turned around to see Serenity. "Are you ok Tea?" she asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks for asking." She replied putting on a fake smile so Serenity wouldn't worry. She hated when she made her friends worry about her, everyone had their own problems no sense in giving them hers.
"Tea, I've seen happier smiles on dead fish. What's bugging you?"
Tea let out a sigh, "I lost my job and it's close to impossible to finding one that can pay the bills and still have enough to get food. I don't know how long I can last without a job."
Serenity put a comforting hand around Tea's shoulders. "Don't sweat it Tea. You're a great person I'm sure it will all work out. Things always do. The worse that can happen is you'll have to work for Kaiba."
A lightbulb went on in Tea's mind. "Of course! You're a genius Seren. Thanks!" and with that Tea ran off.
Serenity just stood there in wonder. "You're welcome...I guess, I just sorta wish I knew what for."
~~
"You want a what?!" exclaimed Seto.
Tea started to knit her fingers. She knew it was a terrible thing to do when you're nervous but she couldn't help it. Kaiba had a certain glare that could make even the strongest men crumble up in fear. "I need a job Kaiba. I was wondering if you could find me one here. I was thinking a big company like yours would have a small spot maybe."
Seto looked into her face seriously then burst out laughing. Tea got up to leave. "Well if you don't want to just tell me. You don't have to laugh in my face. I have pride myself." She was about to leave the room when she felt Seto grab her arm.
"My secretary left this morning. Think you're up for it?"
Tea turned back to face him, "You're serious?"
Seto raised an eyebrow, as he released her arm,"How long have you known me? I am always serious."
"Thank you so much. Thank you Kai..Mr. Kaiba"
Seto rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah, now go get my coffee, no sugar and just a bit of cream."
~~
Serenity wandered the streets of Domino. 'You know I've never been around these streets but why on earth do they look so darn familiar?' She looked from store to store, but she had no idea where she had seen these buildings before.
"Serenity are you ok?" Joey asked.
"Huh? Oh I'm fine Joey, I was just... Thinking about how a few things have changed around here."
"Like what?"
"Umm... Just a few buildings." Serenity let out a sigh of relief when her brother took the excuse and went on about some duel he had. Serenity once again blocked Joey's babble as she went back to her thoughts. 'Serenity you really need to be careful, if you continue this kind of zoning out they're bound to find out you aren't really Serenity Wheeler. I should find Kaiba to find that card or Master Marik will have a fit.'
She hadn't realized that Joey was waving his hand in front of her face, till she finally woke up to see Joey's confused face. "You sure you're ok sis?"
Serenity smiled, "I think I'm ok Joey, but I just remembered there's something I have to do. I'll see you later." With that she just ran off.
Joey simply stood there as he scratched his head. "That is one strange girl."
~~
Serenity entered the club where the rare hunters had told her Seto Kaiba was currently located. Loud music was being played on the loud speakers. Serenity had no problem getting in, it wasn't hard when you simply had to stick a gun to the bouncer's stomach and threatning the guy's life if he told anyone.
She walked through the crowd of people looking for her target. There with a bunch of business associate sat Seto Kaiba. 'Looks like he has backup white trenchcoats' she chuckled as she saw Seto roll his eyes, his expression clearly told her he would rather be dead then here. Then she saw Tea. 'Darn what is she doing here? I'll have a hard time getting close to him with her around and what if she tells Joey. I'll have to find a way to get Seto alone.' She tried to listen to their conversation but the beat of the music was way to intense. She continued to watch Seto as she moved over to the bar and ordered a drink.
Suddenly Seto's head turned and his gaze fell on Serenity. She quickly turned her head away.
~~
Seto was utterly bored to death by these people. Of all places to discuss business, he could hardly even hear what the hell they were talking about. He changed his gaze to the people below, not to mention he had this odd feeling of being watched. Then his eyes met with his little follower.
Their eyes met for a split second before she turned her head away. 'Hmm, I wonder what she's doing her? Could she be following me? Sigh, you're too self-centered thinking like that Seto' Seto continued to watch Serenity as she sipped at her drink.
~~
'Phew that was close. What's wrong with me? I never get caught.' She continued to sip her drink trying to calm her nerves. She could feel his gaze on her back. Serenity decided to leave before he decided to come down and ask her why she was staring. She paid the bartender and was about to leave when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.
"Leaving without saying hello?" he said
'Damn!' she thought. "Of course not Kaiba." She said as she turned to face him. "I just didn't see you and Tea." She said as she waved to the brunette behind him.
"That's a load of bull. But I doubt you'd tell me why you were staring anyways. Mazaki, I'm leaving, you're off shift now so you can leave as well." He told Tea as he left.
"Want to leave together Serenity?" Tea asked
"I've got something to do first. Why don't you go home first Tea?" she said in her sweet voice. Tea nodded and she waited for Tea to leave before she took a separate exit. She opened the back door hoping that she would be able to catch up to Kaiba, but she didn't need to. Kaiba was standing directly in front of the back exit.
"Took you long enough. Now what do you want to see me about?" he said
"Who said I had anything that involves you?" she defended.
"Oh just all the signs in your behavior." He indicated
Serenity blushed when she thought about her behavior today. "Hmph! Well for your information Kaiba,"
"Seto."
"What?"
"Call me Seto."
"Why?"
"I personally don't like people calling me Kaiba all that much." He shrugged
"Fine..SETO," she pronunced every syllable of his name, "I hate to burst your bubble, but I have nothing that I wish to see you about." With an "hmph" she left him there under the lamppost.
"That is one interesting girl." He chuckled.
~~
Serenity entered Joey's apartment as quiet as possible. The room was dark; she was relieved that Joey was asleep so he wouldn't scold her for returning home so late. However, luck was not with her. The lights went on and there stood Joey with his arms crossed, "Where have you been young lady? Do you know it's past midnight? And what's this I hear about you going to a club? You told me you had something to do! Don't tell me you were meeting someone there."
"Joey! I am a grown woman and I can take care of myself. I took martial arts remember? Anyone should think twice before attacking me. I did indeed have something to do I had to... buy this really adorable shirt."
Joey raised an eyebrow, "I thought you disliked shopping Sis."
'I do? Damn' "Of course I do, but you know when you need clothes you gotta go shopping."
"So where's the shirt?" inquired Joey.
"They... ran out. So I was moping around when I saw this club and I went in for a drink."
"You drink?"
"Well I'm a grown woman for goodness sakes Joey. I think I am entitled to a bloody drink." Serenity snapped losing her patience. "Sorry big brother, I'm just tired. I think I'll go to bed now. Good night."
"Good night Serenity." Said Joey, "Oh Serenity."
"Hmm? What is it Joey?"
"If something's bugging you, feel free to tell me."
"Thank you Joey. I will." She smiled before going back to her room.
"I sure hope you do." Whispered Joey.
~~
Serenity didn't turn on the lights when she entered her room. She walked in the dark to her bed where she flopped down on it and turned on a small lamp as she thought back to the alley. She closed her eyes and thoughts of the handsome brown haired blue-eyed CEO filled her mind.
'What are you thinking about Serenity? You are on a mission. Seto..no...Kaiba is the target; I can't be falling for him. Can I?' Serenity burried her face in her hands, 'Why is this happening to me?'
~~
Seto didn't go home after the alley incident with Serenity. Instead he went back to the office where he headed for his room. He planned on working more on his latest project. Seto stepped out of the elevator as it dinged the floor of his office. He noticed that there was still a light on. He approached the light and noticed that it was somewhere near his office, he walked faster in case of intruder. He noted soon that it was Tea's desk light. He noticed that there was the contract that he had her retype was laid out on her desk.
"Oh Mr. Kaiba I didn't know that you would be here." Said Tea with a cup of Lemon Tea in her hands
"And what are you doing here so late at night?" he questioned
"Well I know you would be needing this contract in the morning and I hadn't finished when you asked me to go with you to that business deal, so I came back to finish it."
"Hmm. I see. Very well I will be in my office, I need to work on some designs so do not disturb me unless it's important."
"Yes sir. Mr. Kaiba?"
"What is it Tea?" he asked slight peeved
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Coffee" he said and with that and he went into his office.
~~
Tea entered knocked on Seto's door. She entered, "Here's your coffee Mr. Kaiba."
"Thank you," he said as he reached for the coffee. Their hands made contact and Tea felt a shiver go down her back. Seto cleared his throat as he took the beverage and drank it.
"I'll be outside Mr. Kaiba."
"Shut the door." Was all he said.
~~
It was around 1 AM when Tea finished all her work and decided to head back home. She knocked on Seto's door but no one answered. She opened the door to find the poor guy asleep on the desk, his head rested on his arms. Tea placed the contract on his desk as she took his jacket and placed it over his shoulders. She silently closed the door to his office and left.
As she stood in the elevator she thought back to Kaiba's sleeping face. He actually looked human when he wasn't awake and alert to everyone's moves. "Can I actually be falling for Seto Kaiba?"
~~
And that is the end of today's chapter. Hope you liked it ^^
Joy! Serenity likes Seto, Tea likes Seto, but whom does Seto like? I haven't thought about it yet *shrugs* your reviews might help me decide *wink
