^__^ is all I'm gonna say…on with the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tea flipped through the channels of the flat screen television.
"Damn," she muttered in annoyance, "The doctors won't let me move for at least a week, how the hell am I gonna do anything if I can't move?!"
While the fuming girl irritably continued her channel search, several floors above her, the CEO of KaibaCorp tugged on his hair frantically.
"How," he moaned to himself, "How could I not suspect her earlier absences at school?" It was two days after the attempt on his life. Tea had to call up back-up to gather all witnesses of the shoot-out to the MLS, Memory Loss Site, where they were injected with a special drug that reformed their memory of the incident as a simple gang shoot-out. They never saw a girl fend off the attackers, neither did they see the girl enter an ambulance with a handsome man pulled after her as well.
Kaiba replayed the scene in his mind, his mind was still boggled. Just then, the door to his study burst open, ah yes, Mokuba with his usual amounts of flowers and candy.
"You know the ritual," Kaiba groaned, plopping his head in to his hands. Mokuba nodded happily as he walked to a huge overflowing trashcan in the corner that had the word Junk neatly written in black. Pouring all the flowers and cards into the can, Mokuba started ripping off the plastic to the chocolates and cookies.
"Mokuba!" Kaiba said sharply, "You know the rule. If you're going to eat any sweets from now on, it's going to be on the first floor!"
"Fine, fine," Mokuba grumbled, his hand already reaching for one of the sweet goodies.
As Mokuba trodded down the swirling stairs, Tea called out to him.
"Mokuba? I was just wondering…you know how I told you about the plan with Kaiba's fan girls?"
"The girls who give Kaiba those really, really good chocolates?!" exclaimed Mokuba, eyes shining in adoration.
Tea: -__- "Ahem, uh, yes, those girls. Well, how about holding it tomorrow? And I'm sure they'll bring a lot of baked goods and all those nice stuff…how about it?!"
Mokuba nodded fiercely, "Yeah, yeah! I'll make him go!"
As Mokuba raced upstairs to drag Seto to another ploy of Tea's, Tea settled back down on the couch. "Ah yes," she sighed to herself, "The sacrifices I do for my job…sniff."
**********
The next day.
From a few miles away Joey woke sleepily up to the sounds of a woman screaming.
"What the hell do you mean that I have to be in a wheelchair!!"
"Huh, wuzzat?" Joey groaned, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
Back at the Kaiba residence, Tea threw daggers at the trembling doctor.
"Say it again…," she said in a dangerous voice, "You said I couldn't use crutches…and a wheel chair would be better…? Was that what I heard?"
The sweating doctor backed away from the girl for even though she couldn't really chase after him with her injuries and all, the way she was licking her lips and the gleam in her eyes made him want to run away as fast as he could.
Kaiba smirked, "So, this is what you get for this stupid plan of yours. If you want me to spend a whole day with those idiot girls than you have to be in a wheel chair with Mokuba pushing you."
"But then what's the point if I can't…," Tea made a motion across her neck.
"Exactly," Kaiba said smugly, "What is the point of this plan."
Tea smiled sweetly, "Oh but Kaiba, since I am your guard…I guess I can do this just for you, but please," she waved a mocking hand at him, "Don't think of it as much. After all I can not compare myself to all those swarming girls of yours. You can have all the eye candy you want. While I will follow at half a pace behind your crowd, who knows what those girls will do to you." She winked mischievously, "Don't worry, I can still half protect you."
Kaiba: sweat drop
*********
Kaiba sat as still as he could. Who knew that these rabid lions, no sharks would be a better name would come after him like a ravenous beast. Twelve girls surrounded him in the limo, gazing up at him with wide eyes.
To the very corner of the limo, Tea relaxed on her seat with Mokuba.
"Pass me the popcorn, buddy," she said, popping a few caramel corns in her mouth.
Mokuba, watching the scene as avidly as Tea, passed the box to Tea, eyes glued to Kaiba.
"Oh," he whispered excitedly, "One of them almost got Seto!"
A black-haired girl had tried to lay her hands on Seto's shoulders but Seto had jerked his head back just in time, eyes warily keeping the girls at bay.
"Ooh," Mokuba squealed, clapping his hands together, "Did you see that? Girl #3 and #4 tried to make a 'move' against him! Aw, this is better than playing with my Play Station 2!"
"I know," Tea agreed with a smile, "It's even better than my Christmas present of a rifle grenade with a matching--"
Mokuba: O__O
Tea: -__- "Uh…yeah," she said lamely.
Seto gave pleading looks to Mokuba and death glares to Tea. Mokuba and Tea cheerfully waved to Kaiba, calling out numbers.
Tea: I say go Girl #1!
Mokuba: No, I think #8 is gonna breach his fortress defenses.
Tea: What are you talkin' about? The other girl on the third front has really good reflexes…ooh! Did you see that? She almost got him there! Told ya, and look! She has that look in her eyes, that means nothing will stop in her way. Man, if she had a weapon in her hand, Kaiba wouldn't stand a chance.
Mokuba: No, look there. See #8? She's movin' in at the speed of 3 cm per minute, see, slow and steady wins the race.
Both of them: OOH…ouch. Both #8 and #1 are under full attack from the other girls. Wow! Did you see number 3? What speed and movements!
Finally the limo slowed to a stop in front of the most magical place in the world…Disneyland.
Kaiba saw his chance and dove for the door, flinging himself out of the limo.
Mokuba: (groaning in disappointment) Oh, what a magnificent end!
Tea: Yeah, oh well, another round will start when we ride back.
Kaiba started to run as fast as he could, legs churning as he looked back behind him. The stampede was starting to catch up on him. Suddenly BAM! He was face-first on the ground as the girls piled up on top of him.
"Help," the CEO moaned weakly.
Tea smiled in pleasure at the scene, tucking a blanket across her lap.
"It's a beautiful day isn't it, Mokuba?" she said, looking at the beautiful blue sky.
Mokuba nodded, grinning in agreement as he pushed her chair.
"Remember, not to close so that we get caught in the action but not too far that we lose track of the battle," cautioned Tea.
Ah, she thought satisfactorily, who cares that I'm in a wheelchair? This is the best day ever in my life.
And thus the day went on with Kaiba dragged back and forth with the crowd of girls, Tea and Mokuba half a step behind.
At a lemonade stand, the twelve girls had needed a bathroom break to freshen up. Gratefully, Kaiba sank to his knees, muttering words of thanks and praises. Then he turned his sweating face toward Tea nestled comfortably in the shade with Mokuba beside her.
"That's it, Gardener!" he snarled. "Never again will I listen to you! You are only a bodyguard!"
Tea looked innocently at the CEO and then blew him a kiss. "Your fly is open, Kaiba-boy," she drawled.
Kaiba did a reflex-look down and then glared at her.
"Gotcha!" Tea said winking at him. "Don't worry, you're safe."
"And your definition of safe is…?" Kaiba said, struggling to keep his temper down.
Tea looked at her fingernails, "Safe as in, these girls are jealous of each other but they wouldn't dare put a finger on their wonderful, fabulous, cuddly-wuddly Seto Kaiba." A puase, "I had their house searched and my contacts could find no evidence that would give them reason to suspect the girls."
Kaiba heaved a sigh of relief, forgetting about her jibe, "Then we can leave this damn park. And I will be free."
Tea didn't answer for a moment. Then she looked back at him, all frivolity wiped from her face. "I would have left a few hours ago…but we have a problem. Come here and look at this."
Kaiba went over and in Tea's hand was a little silver device.
"This screens all movements at this park. See these dots here? These people have been following us ever since we got here. I believe they're trying to ambush us. If we leave, they'll try to do something, and if we don't they'll be waiting for us."
"Well how about letting the twelve girls become their victims while we escape?" suggested Kaiba hopefully.
Tea raised an eyebrow, "Sorry, no can do. I also have to ensure the safety of everyone else."
"Let all the girls go back to the limo first and send them home, these people only care about Mokuba, you, and I."
"Anything to get them away, I'll do," Kaiba said fervently, "But don't think I'm going to let your impudent tongue slide away. This was all your fault from the beginning, Gardener!"
************* (Umm..was gonna end it here, but decided it's the holidays right? So here's an extra long chapter! ^^)
Several hours later.
The girls had been loaded into the limo screaming and wailing but at least they were gone. Now, one, how to leave the park unscathed, and two, what was their transportation now?
"Kaiba, we should get inside one of those houses," Tea said, pointing at a dark house that said Haunted Mansion (not sure if it's Disneyland that has this ride), "It'd be easier for us to escape."
Kaiba looked at Mokuba. Mokuba's lower lip was quivering as he said in a small voice, "Seto, I don't wanna go in there…it looks scary!"
Kaiba sighed. "It's alright Mokuba, I'll carry you."
Tea: O__O Hmm…guess I'll have to push my wheelchair with my arms.
It was eerily dark as the three of them cautiously went into the mansion. Strangely enough, no one was there. Tea stopped. Wait a minute…it was a trap!
"Everyone back!" she barked, but it was too late. The sliding metal door was locked, while the windows were tightly shut.
"Crap, Tea!" she berated herself. "You should have known this was gonna happen!"
"Don't waste your breathe," Kaiba said tersely, holding a scared Mokuba in his hands. "Since these kinds of situations are what you're good in, show me what you can do!"
Tea blinked at his challenge. "Right," she said, nodding, accepting his gauntlet. Wordlessly, she passed Kaiba a small pistol while she took out her own gun.
"Since I'm sort of handicapped right now, you'll need it, just in case."
Slowly Tea rose up from her chair, waving off Kaiba's protests. "I'll be an easy target stuck in that chair, I'm going very slow so I'm fine."
"Stay behind me, I'm going to scout ahead. Follow me if I give you the thumbs up signal."
Step by step Tea walked closer to the end of the corridor that turned to the left, gun held out in front of her. Every few steps she would stop and listen for any telltale sounds of breathing or machinery clinking.
Tea paused and then jumped into the hallway, disregarding the pain that flashed up on her wrist and knee. No one. She motioned the Kaiba brothers over with a thumb.
They entered a room full of mirrors that distorted their figures. As Tea passed one that made her like a squat midget, a coughing was heard behind one of the mirrors. Without questioning whether it was just an employee or just a tourist, Tea fired into the mirror. The glass shattered in a cacophony of sound, dropping shards hitting the ground. Behind the glass stood a man dressed in a bullet-proof vest, holding a rifle in one hand. A bullet hole smoked an inch to his temple.
Then, as if the gunshot was a signal, the mirrors slid to one side, revealing hidden portals, each with an armed man standing in the passageway.
Tea: -__- …I'm in deep shit…
Mokuba: O__O
Kaiba: Ouch…I'm in trouble.
