He sat in his office, his eyes showing no expression. Just what was this 17- year-old teen thinking about? Oh yes. He was thinking about how utterly stupid it was that he had gotten a letter about how his company was getting shut down. For what you may ask? Well...Seto Kaiba had done so many things to try and defeat his nemesis, but no. TRY is an understatement! He had done everything in his OWN WILL to practically KILL Yugi. Unfortunately, every time...he failed. All because of HER. His emotions were mixed, his mind going blank when he thinks of her. Yes, it was the one who had saved him in Duelist Kingdom. Tea Gardner. And he still thought of it. Why did she save him? He rested his chin on his hand, thinking. Only thinking...........

Tea was confused. She had saved Kaiba so many times, it was countless. She had lost count a long time ago. And sometimes, it was when none of her friends were around! What was she thinking? What WAS she thinking??! Nobody knew. And she didn't either. Her whole life seemed upside down because of the CEO. And yet, she never questioned him. But after last night, she had made the decision of never talking to him again......

Flashback

Tea walked through Domino park, thinking of one thing: The test. An upcoming test would decide what would happen to her. Would she pass and become a junior? Or would she stay a sophomore? She was too into her thoughts, she didn't realize where she was going or caring for the matter. She slammed right into a strong body. 2 gruff hands steadied her. "Gardner." Came a cold voice.

"Oh! Kaiba! What are you doing out here?" she asked, startled.

"The question is...why weren't you watching where you were going?" she was silent and said, "Well, I was thinking of the big test tomorrow. I really don't know whether I'll pass it or not. And if I don't...I'll be a sophomore still, while my friends become juniors!" Tea let a small crystal tear fall down her cheek and Kaiba's eyes softened. "Tea...you will pass." He said calmly. She sniffed and looked up.

"How do you know?" she asked uncertainly.

"Because you're the smartest girl I know. The only girl I know for the matter. And prettiest." She blushed and looked away. Thought she could feel Kaiba staring at her. He tilted her face up to his, their eyes locked on each others. "Do you hate me, Tea?" he asked softly.

"N-no. Of course not." She said, a dark blush crossing her cheeks. He chuckled and unexpectedly, Kaiba's lips touched hers in a gentle kiss. "You should get home." He said and walked off. Tea stared after him in disbelief.

End flashback

Tea sighed and came to the conclusion that she loved Kaiba more than a simple friend. Deep inside, she knew that, but was afraid to admit it. Her heart was pounding and she knew Kaiba felt the same. All those times when she saved him...she did it because she loved him. It was genuine.

To Be Continued.......
