Sorceress of Midnight Skies Reviewer's Comments:
Anime-ruthless: Thank you for the review. I am glad to hear you are hooked. ^_^ Yeah, Yugi is going to have a hard time with his secret, but I don't know how I'm going to reveal that he's sick. I have an idea, but I'll see if it pans out. I don't know who will find out first. Téa? Joey? Seto? It's up in the air right now. ^_^
Mamono: Hey Mamono, I don't know what Yugi plans to do about Téa. I guess it will be a surprise. *shifty eyed* LOL!! Yeah he is short on time, the poor baby. Thanks for the review! ^_^

Sorceress of Midnight Skies: All right all done with the comments. Please enjoy and read and review. ^_^
Chapter 4- Joey Spreads the News
Joey shook his head in confusion at Yugi's reaction to his idea. Of all the people that wouldn't approve of Téa and Kaiba, Yugi would be the first to object. Joey knew that his best friend liked her, no he loved her. That's why Yugi's reaction puzzled him greatly. Joey had hoped that with Yugi back, Téa and Yugi would finally get together. That CEO of a creep wasn't right for her, she was meant to be with Yugi. All these thoughts swam in Joey's mind as he continued walking down the street in the opposite direction from Yugi's house. He groaned loudly when he saw a familiar figure up ahead on the street.
"Well this is something you don't see everyday," A cold voice said with mock astonishment. "A blond Chihuahua walking down the street on two legs."
"Shut yer mouth, Kaiba!" Joey replied tightly.
The tall CEO of Kaiba Corp just stared at him with contempt in his cold blue eyes and a sneer on his face. "Aw did I hurt you're feelings baby Wheeler." He added in the same mocking tone.
"Kaiba, ya bastard! Ya creep!" Joey said angrily as he lounged for him. Well he tried to lunge for him, but in an instant Kaiba sidestepped out of the way and Joey almost tumbled down on to the street again, but luckily he kept his balance.
"What's going on here?" An outraged voice demanded from behind Joey.
Joey turned around to see a peeved Téa standing there beside Kaiba. Mokuba was on the other side of Kaiba.
"Joey!" Téa exclaimed surprised when she saw his face. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the Game Shop?"
"Yeah, Wheeler, aren't you babysitting the shop for Yugi Motou's Grandfather?" Kaiba added the sneer still on his face.
Joey's face broke into a small smile. "Nah, not anymore." He told them. "Mr. Motou's back."
"What? Really?" Téa exclaimed surprised. "Is Yugi back too?"
Joey nodded his head and his brown eyes gazed into Kaiba's blue eyes. The smirk from Kaiba's lips had suddenly vanished. "Yea, he's back, Téa. Wait, till ya see him! He's changed, Téa."
Téa didn't reply to Joey's comment. She simply nodded as she looked at him.
"See ya around Téa, Mokuba." He told them. "Kaiba." He added coolly on Kaiba's name. He turned away from them, and whistling with a smile of satisfaction on his face he walked down the street.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Téa, Seto and Mokuba sat silently in the limo on their way back to Kaiba's mansion. They hadn't said a word to each other since Joey broke the news about Yugi's return. Now there was uneasiness in the air, it seemed full of tension. Mokuba sat across from Seto and Téa, watching them intently. Téa seemed deep in thought as she gazed out the window, while Seto's face seemed to be very neutral. The seventeen year old wanted to say something, but he thought it would be better just to leave them be. He didn't want to interfere in his older brother's business.
Finally they had arrived at the mansion and Mokuba quickly stepped out of the limo. "I'm going to go and take a shower." He said as he walked rather quickly away from the car and toward the house.
"All right, Mokuba." Seto told him as he stepped out of the car, watching his brother zoom into the mansion. He stood by the limo's door and waited for Téa to emerge. When she was out of the limo, he closed the door behind her. Without a word, he simply headed toward the house and Téa followed him in.
They went to Seto's study and he sat down at his desk. He turned on his laptop and began to furiously click away on the keys. Téa stood by the desk looking at him from across it. They stayed like that for minutes before Kaiba finally broke the silence.
"Will you stop staring at me! I'm trying to work!" Kaiba told her exasperated. "I have a very important business deal coming up and I can't work if you're just standing there staring at me!"
"Seto, why are you upset with me?" Téa asked him gently.
"I'm not upset with you." He replied instantly. "I just want to work."
"Don't lie to me Seto." Téa told him sternly. "Ever since Joey said Yugi was back, you've been giving me the silent treatment."
"No, I haven't." He replied stubbornly. His fingers ceased hitting the keys and he leaned back in his chair, but he avoided Téa's blue eyes.
Téa walked toward him and stood by his chair. She reached down and caressed his cheek, moving her hand up into his brown hair. "This isn't the Seto Kaiba that I fell in love with, this is the old cold hearted Kaiba talking." She told him as she ran her hand through his hair. "Talk to me Seto. Tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing is the matter." He told her. Seto turned his face so that he was looking into her eyes. "Maybe I'm still him, maybe I never changed ." He told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Téa leaned in closer to him, her lips inches from his. "You're not him anymore, Seto. Now you're caring, compassionate, and sensitive."
He snickered coldly at her comment. "I wouldn't go that far, Téa." He told her. "I'm not like your precious Yugi." He added coldly looking into her shocked blue eyes.
Téa pulled away from him and put as much distance as she could between them, without her being out of the room. "I don't know what's gotten in to you, but all I can think of is that you're jealous or threatened by Yugi." Téa told him coolly. With those parting words she headed out of the study and out of Seto's house.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi lay on his bed, ever since he had gotten back from his stroll he felt tired. He rolled onto his side and looked out of his window, it couldn't be no later then three or four in the afternoon. Had he fallen asleep and not even realized it? No, he hadn't fallen asleep, not after what he saw and what Joey told him. Téa the only girl he had really cared for was with another man. Not any regular man. She was with Seto Kaiba, a guy that could give her anything that she wanted.
Just as he closed his eyes, there was a knock on his bedroom door. Reluctantly he got up and pulled open the door. When he saw who stood on the other side, he couldn't believe his eyes. Am I dreaming? He thought to himself as he looked into her blue eyes.
Before Yugi could say a word though, her hand came toward him in a quick motion. Her hand connected roughly with his cheek, making a loud smacking sound that reverberating throughout the room.
