Zoeygirl: Hey! Well seems I'm on a roll here so-
Duke: ROLL! (Ducking.)
Zoeygirl: (-_-) No not that type of roll. Anyways someone asked me if I could write like the way I've been writing in all my humor ones, and to answer that person's question, yes I'm going to write like that, but not in all my chapters. I'm kinda trying to combine my different writing styles in one. Like this chapter you'll find Tea's POV and then the way I usually write. It just depends what mood I'm in and what mood the story's in. Hope ya'll don't mind.
***Tea POV***
What did I do to deserve this?! I've been a good person right?! I've done more then my fair share of good in the world and then some. (-_-) So why is the only empty seat next to Bakura?!!!! And no one will trade with me! That's so not fair! Well, obviously Bakura doesn't think it's fair either.
"Hell no!!" He boomed sending me some of his genuine death glares. "It would be in her best interest to stay the hell away from me!" Well that had me wincing a bit.
No one seems to care because their all kind of rolling their eyes and urging me to sit down. You know no one takes this seriously and I'm not happy! I wouldn't mind sitting next to ANYONE except him!!!! But no, no one could do something that simple for me, and I usually don't complain a lot.
I can feel my temper rising and everyone's really testing my patience today. I mean I don't know why I'm like this…then again yes I do…(-_-) PMS is a drag it really is. I'm in no mood to deal with this right now.
"Tea sit down." Mai urged. She looked hungry and irritated but I guess they can say whatever they want to me because I'm ALWAYS the nice one…I'm ALWAYS the kind, innocent, friendly girl, who'd rather break down in tears then stand and argue it out…(-_-) Well today I just don't feel like that.
As I watched Bakura sneer up at me and Kaiba sigh exasperatedly, I felt the last bit of sanity and good mood I had left, completely leave…The PMS had taken over and nice girl was gone…(----_---)
"Thanks for coming this evening. I would like to say how much it means to me that you could all show up after two years-
Isis was going into her speech again. I don't even remember what she said because I was too caught up in the bad mood I was in. I guess it started this morning when I raised my voice to my mom. She told me not to sass her so I didn't and I apologized but that's where it began. All day I've been like this and the cramps don't seem to help much either. Hmm, I wonder how long this will last. This is the first time I've experienced PMS and I know right away I don't like it. I've heard this can last for 3-4 days straight, so that's just perfect…
I have to say though, letting these feelings out does feel good, and every time I felt like screaming at someone my heart races and I get dizzy, but it's as if I want to scream my heart out…or ring someone's neck. (-__-)
Well when I looked up, Isis was finishing her speech…yippee.
"And with that said, please let us enjoy dinner." She finished as everyone POLITELY clapped for her, except for her brother and Bakura.
You know, it's bad enough to have Bakura sitting right next to you when you make a fool of him in front of everyone, but it's even worst when you have Kaiba on your right side, and Joey sitting directly across from you. Oh joy, this was just great…The people I got along best with were at the far end of the table. This really stinks…
"Hey Tea are you going to eat as much as you did last time at Bernie's party? Because you almost busted, like a balloon when ya did!" Joey pointed out a big grin on his face…
Good old Joey, he never knows when to keep his mouth shut. That was embarrassing too. Bakura just cocked an eyebrow up at me and Kaiba's looking at me strangely from the corner of his eye…LIKE I DON'T NOTICE…(--_--) Jeez people, it's not like I'm overweight here, can't I eat what I want?
I swear if Joey doesn't cool it, I cannot be responsible for my actions.
***Normal POV***
Yugi: Wow Isis this food looks great!
Isis: Why thank you Yugi, please help yourself.
Joey: Tea, are you going to eat that salad?
Tea: Yes Joey…
Joey: What about that piece of turkey.
Tea: Eat your own Joey.
Joey: I already did.
Tea: (O_O) Then when the turkey comes around again take another slice.
Joey: But you're the one that needs to watch what you eat.
Tea: (Drops her fork.) ((O)__(O))
The entire room went incredibly silent except for Kaiba who was currently choking on a carrot after Joey's little comment. (*)_(*)……………………
Yugi and Yami's eyes went bugged eyed, and Isis' fork stayed still in midair. Tristan scooted his chair as far away from Joey's end of the table as humanly possible, as Serenity gasped out loud after Joey's remark.
Malik: (Holding a napkin up to his face, to conceal his smirk.)
Mai: Joey!!!
Joey: What? What did I do now?
Bakura: Hahaha!!! Joey for once you said something smart!
Tea: (Beat red.) (;_;)
Joey: Uh Tea can I have your roll? (He asked as if nothing ever happened.)
Everyone: JOEY!
Tea: Why, so you can hand it to BAKURA TO THROW AT SOMEONE ELSES HEAD!!!!??? (She snapped raising her voice.)
Bakura: (Coughing.) W-what?
Ryou: (Sweat drop.)
Mai: Well Tea, there's no need to get rude here. (She said seriously.)
Tristan: Yeah Tea.
Tea could barely believe her ears! Were they not just paying attention to what happened in the past 10 minutes?!!!!! Sheesh!
Tea: I'm being rude?! I'M BEING RUDE!!! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO CHUCKED FOOD AND TRIED TO START A FIGHT TWICE! I MERELY COMMENTED ON JOEY'S RUDE MANNERS AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I'M BEING RUDE?!
Joey: Jeez, Tea what's your problem?
Isis: (Rubbing her temples.)
Kaiba: (Smirking.) It appears to be you.
Joey: Ha! Yeah right Kaiba! (Laughing nervously as he stared at a deranged Tea.)
Tea: And then Bakura's making death threats at me and you don't think it's no big deal?!
Yugi: Tea calm down. Bakura can't hurt anybody remember?
Tea: (-_-) And you believe that crap?
Everyone: (Gasping in surprise.) (O_O)
Tea: (-_-) Oh please. (She replied rolling her eyes.) You've heard worst.
Malik: I see things are getting interesting. (He mused, smirking at his tired sister.)
Isis: Hush you. (---_--)
Duke: Tea if it means that much to you I'll trade places with you.
Tea: Thanks but it's too late for that, Joey tested me for the last time!
Kaiba: Please continue, I find your words intriguing. (He smirked.)
***Tea POV***
Kaiba found my words intriguing!? Well we'll see who's intriguing when I pour milk on that stupid blue trench coat of his!
Oh I am so on my last nerve right now! I don't even remember how the old Tea was! It's like I just spawned into something evil and I can't control it! Oh and now Bakura's snarling at me and he's giving me one of those insane eyes I'm suppose to cower from. Oh please Yugi's right, he's harmless now.
"Why don't you turn the other way, nobody cares about you, you albino freak." I replied to Bakura with a look of disgust on my face.
Ryou raised both his eyebrows and sunk down in his chair. Guess that struck a nerve. (-_-) Oops…
Wow, I didn't think Bakura's eyes could get any bigger but they just dilated like triple in size! I couldn't help but smile a bit. I think Yami thought it was funny because he just fell off his seat in laughter, and Malik's trying hard to be uninterested, but those coughing noises indicate something's up.
Well I would've shut my mouth after that and apologized for my rude behavior if Joey hadn't opened his BIG MOUTH!
"Hey Tea is it that time of the year again?" He commented as if he had no clue.
Silence filled the entire room and this time it was Mai who started choking. Kaiba had given up eating, he just sat there staring down at his food.
(O_O) OKAY…………I'm going to use that counting technique I've heard SO much about, and I've encouraged myself.
1……
"Well are ya Tea?" Joey asked again a bit louder.
2………
"Joey that's enough." Isis whispered sitting back.
3…………
"What?" He asked obnoxiously.
4-
Okay there were two choices for me at this point.
I could either:
A. Keep counting and eventually quit, break down in tears, and run out of the room.
B. Go red in the face and apologize for my behavior and talk to Joey afterwards. OR…
C. I could jump up that exact moment and strangle him from across the table.
Well…naturally being the decent human being that I am I chose C.
((@_@))
"Come here JOEY!!!!!" I screamed as I knocked my plate over and stepped on top of the table. My hands wrapped around Joey's neck as I squeezed tightly refusing to let go! Everyone at that exact moment was caught off guard and I don't think anyone expected that to happen.
"Tea!" Serenity screamed as she stood up.
"ACKKK!!" Joey managed to push out trying to loosen my grip.
Isis raised her eyebrows at me calmly. Wise choice because no one was going to stop me from punishing Joey!
I guess it became too much for Malik because he flipped back in his chair too and some liquid I take to be juice came out of his nose. (--_--)
"Do something Kaiba!" Yami yelled, or rather snickered, noting that Kaiba was the closest there.
"What and ruin this little moment?" He replied smirking.
I suppose the many glares Kaiba was receiving finally indicated him to do something. So the high and mighty guy stood up and tried calmly to get me off. Humph well I just couldn't allow it…
***Normal POV***
Tea: Back off Kaiba!!!
Kaiba: Gardener you're making yourself look quite foolish. That's enough. (He said bitterly.)
Tea: I'll tell you when I've had enough!!! (Squeezing tighter.)
Joey: (O_O) AACCKKK!!! T-E-A!!!!!!!
Kaiba: Hey why don't you get off your ass and help?
Bakura: Ha! I think you can manage it alone.
Kaiba: (Narrowing his eyes.)
Yugi: Uh Kaiba I think Joey's lips are turning blue…(*_*)
Serenity: Tea let go!
Mai: Well I think Joey pushed his luck.
Tristan: Yeah, can't say he doesn't deserve it. (---_____---)
Duke: Yeah but uh…the dog's losing color…in his uh…cheeks.
Everyone: (U_U)
Isis: Well…anyone ready for dessert?
(((((((Sweat drop!!!)))))))
Yami: I am! (He said knocking his chair over.)
Malik: Hahahahaha!!! I haven't….laughed that…hard in ages!!!!
Ryou: This isn't funny! Bakura help out, your right there!!
Bakura: Fine! Maybe I can knock the girl out if she doesn't handle-
Tea: HANDLE THIS!!!
WACK!
Bakura: OW!!! SHIT THAT WAS MY NOSE! THE LITTLE BITCH!!!
Tea: You're the only one here who remotely looks like one!!!
Bakura: (O)_O)
Yami: Did…she just say that?
Bakura: (X_X)
Bakura covered his sore nose as he sent one more glare Tea's way before he left the room. Obviously Tea hadn't seen the last of him.
Kaiba: Okay……I think you need some fresh air Gardener. (He said dryly.)
***Kaiba POV***
Why I'm doing this I don't know. I'm just tired of hearing this racket. I'm glad that I left Mokuba home. He didn't need to hear this crap. I don't even understand what I'm doing here. I have a business to run and I have no time for these little reunions.
"Kaiba get off!!" Tea screamed at me, right in my ears as I took hold of her arms. She's starting to get under my skin now so I think I better get her outside before I decide to bulldoze her home. (-_-)
CRUNCH!!!
"OW!" (O)___(O)
SHE BIT ME!!? The little miss goody two shoes just bit me!!!!?? And the Ishtar kid and Yami are laughing at me too!!! I bet the yellow dog would be laughing as well if he were not on the ground trying to regain his breath. I am doing THEM a favor here.
"You'll regret that." I warned as she folded her arms like a two year old child and moped. Oh and she will regret it too.
Losing all patience for this day I narrowed my eyes and scowled at her as I took my trench coat off. She was giving me a peculiar look as if I was planning something, and she was right I was.
"Okay Tea this can work two of one ways. I can either escort you outside without your annoying breakdowns or we can do this the hard way." I replied as I removed my trench coat and laid it over my left arm and loosened my collar. I knew right away by that look in her eye she wanted to do this the hard way.
"Kaiba what are you going to do wrestle her for Ra sakes???" Yami mocked, a bit surprised by my actions.
Frankly if that's what it took then fine. If Pegasus' goons were no problem for me then a mere 17 year old girl wasn't going to pose a threat. Just the same I showed her that I meant business and I do…In fact everything's business to me. (-_-)
"What are you getting at Kaiba?" The boy called Duke asked. Well if he wanted to know he'd have to wait until the enraged girl charged me.
"Tea, don't be stupid." I commented as the girl gasped by my comment. I wasn't CALLING her stupid, but she figured I was, and frankly compared to me she is. (Shrugs.) That's all there is to it.
***Tea POV***
What the heck is Kaiba doing!??!!! First he takes his trench coat off and then he loosens his collar like he's preparing to tackle me down or something?! Is this the same Kaiba that I remember?!
Well I couldn't very well back down. Then I'd be proving to all of them that I was just a sad little girl. But Kaiba tested my last nerve when he said I was stupid…Okay, okay so he didn't ACTUALLY call me stupid he was just kind of saying don't act like it. But still he thinks he's so much better then everyone, so I should help him out and knock his teeth clean out of his mouth. (--_--)
So as everyone watched I did the only thing I could do. I charged him, praying that it would work to my benefit…
And do you know what happened??!!! Everything went black and I was picked up and hauled over someone's back I take it to be Kaiba's! He placed his stupid trench coat over my hair I spent like an hour on and threw me over his back like a sack of potatoes! HE CHEATED!!!
"Let me down!" I screamed as I heard the front door open.
But Kaiba's not great with taking orders I'm afraid. Luckily, I was able to peak through his trench coat just a bit, and then I covered myself back up again. Because Bakura was standing right there next to the door, his arms folded and a rather peeved look on his face. He was the last thing I wanted to see.
Finally I felt myself slowly drop to the ground, and the coat pulled off my head. I gruffed in annoyance and used my hands to fix my hair, he so rudely mess up! Ugh! He's such an ass!
"Now you can sit here and cool off or you can stand here and cool off, the choice is yours." He said coldly, staring down at me with those icy blue eyes of his. It was a bit creepy to say the least.
"You're not the boss of me Kaiba!" I pouted, giving him a rather stuck up look. I didn't mean to, but I was in the WORST of moods.
I backed off slightly when he sent me a rather scary glare and hovered over me like a giant, so I just kept my mouth shut after that.
It was rather nice outside, with a slight breeze to add to the setting sun, but I was still peeved. After taking my vow of silence like a child, I turned the other cheek, giving Kaiba the signal that he could go back inside now.
What is he my babysitter?
**Normal POV***
Tea stood there, covering herself with her bare arms. Her face was still quite flustered, and low noises emerged deep within her throat, but she kept her mouth shut. She had said enough.
Kaiba said nothing. He simply placed his trench coat back on, and adjusted his ruffled collar. As he walked back inside Bakura passed him, his hands placed deep within his pockets.
"Don't aggravate her." Kaiba said simply, as he closed the door slightly.
Bakura grunted lightly in response as he walked closer to a bench that had to be no more then 5 feet away from Tea and the door. He stood there silently, staring out into the street and through the woods, a frown upon his face.
He said nothing to Tea, and Tea didn't even bother to look at him. Personally he was going to walk out there earlier, but Kaiba beat him to it, with a girl over his back. Well Bakura decided just because some valley girl was blowing off steam somewhere, doesn't mean he had to change his plans for them. Besides, he needed some air and he'd had enough of the conversations going on in there.
Tea had cooled off quite a bit, but she was still pretty heated. She was so sick of everyone thinking it was alright when someone else did something wrong or said something wrong, but if she expressed her feelings out openly and angrily, they'd look down on her as being an annoyance or a pain in the butt. She made up her mind that she wasn't going to go back inside and eat until they realized that they made the first mistake or rather waited for Joey to say he was sorry. THEN, and only then would she apologize for her actions. (--)_(--) Maybe…
Suddenly, the door cracked open and Tristan peaked his head out slightly. He looked over to Tea, who stared at him slightly, her back still fully turned to him, and Bakura who watched him from the corner of his eye.
Tristan sweat dropped as he spoke up. "Uh Tea, if your all cool with everything now and all…you can uh…come back in. Isis is serving some cool looking dessert." He said quietly.
Tea didn't respond, she just turned her head back over, ignoring him fully. Tristan furrowed his eyebrows, his mouth slightly agape. "I…guess I'll take that as a no?" He replied dully, cracking the door close again.
Bakura raised an eyebrow, and ignored them both. His mind was on his ambitions. There had to be some way of freeing himself from this stupid life he was forced to endure.
"I see things didn't quite work out for you Bakura." A foreign voice spoke from behind. Bakura whirled around and smirked at the blonde haired boy in front of him.
"Nice clothes Malik." Bakura mocked, slipping his hands out of his pockets.
"At least I wear something different once and a while. If I remember, those are the same clothes you went to Battle City in." Malik chuckled, stepping forward into the light.
"I expected your life to be different." Bakura replied in a somewhat disappointed voice.
Malik frowned and stared at the ground, his eyes narrowing as he thought about the past events.
"Things…didn't quite work out as planned. I discovered……that Y/M was the one who killed my father, not Yami. After he destroyed you and Ryou I knew he had to be stopped." Malik grimaced, curling his fists tightly.
Bakura's mouth was slightly agape, but he understood. This Ishtar never really wanted to do all those things it was his eviler half speaking. Malik was just a confused boy caught up in his bad life that he had no control over. Bakura knew that he wasn't going to turn out to be some crazed ruler, who wanted Yami's death, and the power of the Pharaoh, no it was just a faze. Still Bakura liked Malik's attitude and he accepted him as a friend.
"So what are you planning to do now Bakura? I heard the events of Shadi and so forth." He replied incredibly calm.
Bakura smirked and looked away. "Humph, is that psychiatrist not helping? Isn't it obvious? I can't do anything about it." Bakura hissed more to himself.
Malik frowned at the mention of his psychiatrist. It turns out it wasn't a rumor.
"How do you know about that?" Malik asked in a lower voice. Neither of them knew the entire time Tea was standing right there, her back turned to them, but she could hear every word they spoke. Sweat beaded down her cheek, but she tried her best to remain calm.
Bakura chuckled out loud as he faced Malik once more, his millennium ring jingling in the process.
"I know you've been to 4 psychiatrists, 2 psychologists, 5 doctors, and used to take 15 different medications, and is currently on 9 medications. My, my, my, haven't we had the turn out." Bakura teased laughing out loud.
Malik snarled and looked away, unhappy at Bakura's comments. This, Tea guessed was their way of making conversation, insulting each other.
"That's my business not your own, and it was my sister's wishes to have me examined twice a week for a year!" Malik practically spat out, his violet eyes stabbing through Bakura.
"Oh how naïve do you take me for Ishtar?! Haha! You were a nutcase and you know it!" Bakura mused, dismissing the conversation with his hands.
"Drop it alright." Malik warned. Bakura shrugged it off and stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as a small smirk piled over his pursed lips.
"At least I didn't perform self mutilation on myself." Malik spat back.
Bakura smirked wider and shrugged again as if he couldn't blame him.
"Glad to see you old friend."
"Like wise." Malik smirked breathing in heavily.
Tea rolled her eyes in annoyance. She really didn't want to listen to two old evil buddies, meeting up again. "Oh PLEASE!" She sighed in annoyance as Bakura and Malik turned around in her direction.
"I forgot she was here." Malik commented, raising an eyebrow.
"I would've liked to keep it that way." Bakura sighed exasperatedly.
"Listen why are you in such a bad mood Princess friendship?" Malik asked as he and a smirking Bakura closed the space between her and them.
"Because I am!" Tea snapped back, walking backwards towards the door.
"Don't snap at me Tea, I won't deal with it the same way Kaiba did. I also don't have a black mail over my head like Bakura here." Malik warned, a sadistic smile on his face.
Tea swallowed hard as Bakura stepped up, mischief gleaming in his eyes. "Well Tea exactly what are you going to do now-
The door flew open and a group of happy faces stepped out startling all three of them. Bakura noticed they all had their jackets on and the girls had their purses.
'It must be time to leave now.' Bakura sighed to himself, heading for the car.
"Thanks a lot Isis!" Yugi chirped, buttoning his jacket.
"I hope to see all of you soon!" She replied waving them off.
"Food was great Isis! BURP!" Joey yelled bouncing from the steps. "Ugh hey Tea, are you doing better?" Joey asked nervously, rubbing the back of his head.
Tea watched as Yugi and Yami smiled at her and passed her by, while Kaiba climbed into his limo and drove off in quite a hurry. Malik shrugged whatever he was about to say and walked inside, giving his final farewell nod to Bakura.
"Y-Yeah Joey I'm fine." Tea said quickly, an edge still to her voice. She quickly turned her head away as Bakura gave her one final glance telling her instantly he hadn't forgotten about this little night, the entire time rubbing the side of his nose with his thumb.
"Bye Tea." Duke whispered, walking passed her and into his black suburban.
Now it was only Mai, Serenity, Tristan, and Joey, the same people she arrived here with.
"Listen Tea I'm sorry for being an ass." Joey said somewhat seriously as he stared at the ground.
"Yeah me too." Mai cut in, handing Tea her purse.
Tea couldn't help but smile up at them. Perhaps she'd overreact just a bit. "Yeah I'm sorry for being a jerk too." Tea said sadly, smiling up at all of them.
"Hey, it was pretty funny how ya strangled Joey, knocked Bakura in the nose, and bit Kaiba! That was too good!" Tristan cut in, a huge grin on his face.
"Yeah I'll say! I don't think I'd be able to bite Kaiba in a million years!" Joey yelled jokingly as they all walked to the car.
"It was really funny Tea." Serenity admitted, snickering lightly.
Tea blushed as Mai gave her a thumbs up. She felt a bit embarrassed about the whole thing, but oh what the heck.
Isis waved the last group off, a strange rubber smile glowing on her face. With a heavy sigh she closed the door, the latches jingling in response.
"FINALLY…" Isis breathed sinking to the ground. "I thought they'd never leave."
"Awe what's wrong sister, you didn't enjoy the dinner?" Malik teased, standing at the bottom of the steps.
Isis didn't frown nor did she stand up in rage. This time the odds were against him.
"I wouldn't be laughing for long Malik." Isis began as Malik's smile dropped to a twisted frown.
"Oh and why is that?" Malik asked, his voice hinting annoyance.
"Because you're less then a day away from your first day at school at Domino High." She said clearly, a true grin crossing her complexion.
Malik's eyes widened in fear, and a small gasp escaped his lips! He'd have to see ALL those jokers AGAIN!!!!! NOO!
(@_@)
Zoeygirl: Well that's the end with dinner, now it's time for the real story to start I guess. Hope the writing wasn't too confusing for ya! Bye! (O_-.)
