Chapter Three
Seto's eyes narrowed as he watched Bakura and Tea grinding in the middle of the dance floor on the highest catwalk no less!
"What the hell has gotten into her. I knew I shouldn't have let Mokuba talk me into having a free bar." Seto grumbled to himself as his eyes continued to follow the movements of a certain couple in the center of the dance floor. Seto glanced over as he noticed Mokuba making his way towards him.
"Did you hear yet?"
"Hear what?" Seto asked maintaining his detached appearance.
"Yami broke up with Tea!" Mokuba appeared to be very distressed at his own revelation and failed to notice the slip in Seto's composure.
"What? Where on Earth did you hear that garbage from? Seto's mind was reeling. 'Could that be why she's practically crawling up Bakura's leg?'
"Tea told me and besides look at Yami he hasn't left Isis' side all night!"
Seto glanced around the room until he saw Yami and realized what his brother was saying was entirely true.
"Well that still doesn't give her the right to act like a slut."
"Seto!" Mokuba's jaw dropped slightly at how caustic Seto was being. Mokuba glanced at Tea once more before turning back towards his brother to defend Tea when he was startled to see Seto walking in the direction of the pair still dancing and oblivious to their surroundings.
"Oh crap. He wouldn't." Mokuba mumbled silently as he watched Seto stop beside the couple. His jaw dropped slightly as he saw Seto's hand pause in mid-air as he was about to grab Tea. 'What the hell's gotten into him now?' Mokuba wondered. However he missed what happened next as he was surrounded by his friends who'd finally caught up with him.
Meanwhile Seto was fuming as he stalked towards Tea like an angry panther. As he got closer to Tea his resolve slipped slightly when he caught the sight of Tea's face. In spite of the smile on her face and her laughter as Bakura spun her around he caught sight of the tears that appeared on the verge of falling from her eyes. He paused and made a split second decision.
"Sorry to bother you two but do you mind if I talk to Tea for a moment?"
Bakura gave him a slight glare as he felt Tea tense up again. He'd just managed to get her to relax and enjoy herself and now she was agitated again. Tea however looked up at Seto inquiringly.
"What can I do for you Seto?" Tea asked politely. She and Seto had become friends of a sort over the past few years although he still rarely did anything with her and the others.
"Actually I wanted to discuss something with you in private." He paused sending a pointed stare at Bakura before continuing. "I know it's Mokuba's party right now so if you wanted to come over tomorrow I'd appreciate it."
Tea opened her mouth to respond when Ryou walked up holding two drinks.
"There you guys are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Hey Tea I got you another sling in case you were done the other one."
Thanks Ryou!" Tea accepted the drink he had offered her, not taking into consideration the fact that she had already had three drinks in the last hour and she was already feeling a bit of a buzz.
"Oh and Seto, if it's really important I can talk to you after the party."
"Sure if I'm not still down here I'll be in my office working. Just ask Warren where it is and he can show you."
Seto's eyes widened in surprise when Tea started giggling.
"Is that the butler who greeted us at the door?" Tea laughed even harder at that.
Seto looked to Bakura for an answer since Ryou had began to laugh as well.
"You don't want to know" Bakura just shook his head at Tea and Ryou.
"Sorry Seto it's just that your butler reminded me of a robot because of his voice and, and..." Tea started laughing again.
Seto gave the trio a strange look before continuing to speak.
"Yes well anyways...."
"Oh, hey Bakura look who just walked in!" Ryou interrupted excitedly
Bakura looked in the direction of the door just in time to see Malik and Marik walk through the door. They glanced around until they caught sight of Yami who at that point had his arm wrapped around Isis' waist and was leaning over to speak to her. Even at that distance he could see the matching look of anger on both Malik and Marik's faces. He and Ryou had managed to make peace with Yami, Yugi and their other friends. Although, to be honest, the only one he himself actually got along with had been dancing with him for the past twenty minutes. The two Ishtars on the other hand had nothing but more hatred Yami. Seeing him holding their sister, well that most definitely was not helping to mend any bridges.
"Sorry Tea but I think I should go interfere with the little family reunion right about now." Bakura said as the others followed his stare. Ryou let out a small gasp of surprise while Tea quickly looked down. Seto looked down at Tea to see her reaction just in time to see a tear escape and run down her cheek before she brushed it away and raised her chin a notch only to meet Seto's penetrating gaze. Without looking at Ryou or Bakura she continued watching Seto.
"Why don't you guys go save his sorry butt. I'm going to stay here and dance." Tea glanced away from Seto however she continued speaking to him as Ryou and Bakura rushed off to stop the impending fight. "Care to join me?"
Seto glanced around before shrugging his shoulders carelessly, giving Tea a impish grin. "Sure why not."
Tea turned her back on the situation at hand involving Yami and allowed herself to become lost in the moment and to enjoy her dance with Seto.

Wow another chapter and more fantastic reviews! I really can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you guys are not only using your time to read my story but to review it as well! So I'd like to send a thank-you out to everyone who's reviewed so far!
I know it's sounding kind of Tea and Bakura-ish right now but trust me that will change in the up-coming chapters. Not that I'm against a Tea/Bakura, in fact when I'm done this one, that'll be the next one I write. (Although I'm sure no one could tell I like them as a couple ^_^ ) Anyways next chapter will be up in the next few days! Feel free to email me any suggestions or corrections you notice! Oh and if anyone has any good Tea-fics (not bashing-I do like her after all) that are not in my favorites email me the title and I'll read them. See you all in the next chapter... I hope....^_^
