Yay! I actually talked to a couple of people from fanfiction! Sorry, it's just that it's not often I IM, not even to my best friends. Well maybe that's my fault but anywayz, if you can, check out YamiBakura's site. Um....I don't know how to get there but if you go to Kaz's bio, there's a link to get there. If you don't know who Kaz is, she's on my fav author's list, you can find her there. And also check out the SetoxTea site. Again, I don't know how to get there except by ShinakaStar. You can just search her penname (ShinakaStar) by the find, on her bio is a link to get there. Please, please, check these two sites out, they're really cool. And submit some fanfics in there! ^__^

Tea gazed at the lockers, smelling the familiar scent of perfume floating in the air. She smiled internally as the students who were passing by her do a double take and then furiously avert their eyes. Half of them looked away in fear, while the other half looked away blushing.

"I have most of the other classes with you," Bakura said abruptly, at her side. "I'll see you in 2nd period." Tea gave a grunt in response

Her first class was physical education. No need to make up any homework in this class, she thought. The teacher, Mr. Nguni, was a heavy-set man with a developing pot-belly. He raised a surprised eyebrow at her, "You've decided to come back, Gardener. Perhaps you should've stayed dancing in America, you have to make up several miles of running and a couple days of gym work, not including the work today. And today is the last day to make-up for absences."

The first thought in Tea's mind was, don't kill him for insulting you, don't kill him, don't kill him, keep this pretension on!

Tea gave a small smile at him. Maybe I don't have to act like the Tea that they knew, but as long as I make up my work and stay at the top of the class, I'll be fine.

"How many miles?" she said, a funny look in her eyes.

"Seven," Mr. Nguni said, "You won't be able to make-up everything in this one class period."

"Watch me," she said softly.

Then....she was gone. The only thing that could be seen was a blur that was running around the track. The whole class watched the blur go 'round and 'round the track, their heads dizzy from the repetitious circling.

Just when they were about to get a headache, Tea appeared in front of Mr. Nguni, looking immaculate, not a speck of dirt on her.

She smiled coldly at the dazed teacher, "Seven."

Mr. Nguni blinked twice, and then raised a shaking hand toward the training room. "Uh...you have to lift some weights on the machine...."

The whole class followed Tea as she resolutely marched into the work-out room. Without a flicker of expression on her blank face, she did the maximum weights on each of her arms.

Class and Teacher: O__O........(sweat drop)

Second Period

It was time for science. Tea stuffed the make-up work in her bag. School was such a drag, but if she could pull this off, she would be back with the Council in no time.

Next Bakura sat insolently in his chair, his legs propped up on the desk next to him. No one dared to talk to him, including the teacher, for fear of his volatile temper.

Then a girl sidled up to Tea. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the girl had dyed her hair platinum blonde, and her breasts were half hanging out of her white halter top. Her face, Tea shuddered inwardly, looked as she had put pancake mix on instead of foundation.

"So you're back Gardener," she hissed venomously. Tea slowly turned her head. "Did you want something?" she said with cold politeness.

"He's mine, you hear?" the girl continued, ignoring Tea's response. "I know that you went to America because you found out Jason loved me instead of you. And now there's been talk that Jason wants you back."

Tea sighed mentally. "Listen, whoever you are," she drawled, "if you know what's best for you, just forget about Jason. I don't know what you are to him, I don't even remember you."

"I don't think so, bitch!" the girl shouted, slamming her hand down on Tea's desk. The teacher who was writing on the board, turned to see the class watching the argument silently.

Bakura was overcome with mirth. Ah, he thought, this is what I would've never thought I'd see. I wonder what Tea will do to her?

"Is something wrong?" asked the teacher pointedly.

Both girls ignored him. "Well if politeness won't work," Tea said calmly, standing up, "then I'll have to resort to more drastic measures."

"Damn right!" yelled the girl. She pushed Tea a few steps back. "And don't think you can get away from this by running away this time!"

I don't have time for this bullshit, Tea thought. "I'm going to say this one more time," she said softly. "It seems that most of you earthlings don't understand warnings when given. Forget about Jason and I."

The girl tried to shove her in response. In a flash, Tea had a hand wrapped under the girl's neck, slowly squeezing. The girl squirmed, wildly lashing out with her arms and legs but Tea merely held her grip tighter.

She brought her mouth up to the girl's ear and spoke so quietly that only she could hear. "I made this same speech to Jason just a few hours ago. But I'll let you go off easy because I pity you. You with your pathetic make-up and ridiculous clothes. I don't care for Jason and if you want him that's fine with me. But don't push me, or else I won't show this much lenience..........understand?"

"Slut!" gasped the girl, struggling to breathe. Tea lifted the girl up higher and prepared to throw her out the window.

Then a hand grasped her arm. Bakura. He flashed her a warning glance. "As much as I enjoy this little drama, you aren't going to persuade the Council that you're really contrite if you start killing all your classmates....unless... this is how you're planning to be the top of the class?"

Tea growled in frustration. Damn, this was hard! Just a little violence and her pretense would be uncovered. But she could not let this slide past. No one, and I mean no one does this to me.

Tea pressed a point at the base of the girl's neck and she slumped unconscious to the floor. "I think she isn't feeling well," Tea said mildly to the shocked class.

*********************

Bakura had a major headache. In every single class he had to restrain Tea from doing some violence or another to her classmates. Those who had admired her were now running away in fear when they saw her approach down the hall. In fact he felt sort of jealous of the way she handled everyone. She scared them even more than he did, heck, she scared him as well!

He had never been more aware of his surroundings. He had to train himself to hear everything. Just a few minutes ago he had left Tea to go to the bathroom and then had to run back out, his fly open, to screams in the hall. Tea had a boy in a headlock and was butting his head against the lockers. Tea had waved him off, saying that she was being the most tolerant and patient today. Instead of killing him, she had said that physical abuse worked just as well.

And then during lunch when a group of 'bad' boys had stopped by their table and gave Tea a look-over. She had demonstrated her strength by punching a hole into the wall, just a few inches from where the boys were standing.

Ah hell, he thought, he could hear screams in the girls bathrooms. After Tea had beaten the boy senseless, she had needed to wash her hands, stating that there were probably lice in the boy's hair.

If I wasn't in this position with a megalomaniac and psychotic killer, he thought sourly, I would find this very humorous.

Steeling himself with resolve, he ran into the girls bathroom. His eyes met the scene of Tea stuffing the head of the same girl who had tried to instigate a fight with her second period, in the toilet.

Other girls were watching, unable to tear their eyes away. They turned to see a boy, no, not just a boy, Bakura, standing in the girls bathroom. Their screams doubled as they ran out of the bathroom, screaming bloody murder.

"Tea!" he hissed loudly. Tea looked over her shoulder. She snorted and then dumped the wet girl on the side. She strode past him and walked out the door, her back stiff.

As Bakura turned to follow her, he was met with pepper spray from girls who saw him in the bathroom. Others joined in, beating him with their purses, yelling, "Pervert!"

Tea watched from the side, slightly amused. Well he got what he deserved. If it was up to her, half of the school would have been flogged or killed. But then, she mused, that wouldn't do well for the Council.

But enough was enough. She needed to get out of this school. She felt constricted in this place, no place to turn and fight. This was a place where ambushes could be held.

She grabbed a hold of Bakura's arm and then relocated themselves outside her house.

"Why don't you wash up here," she said, her voice bland, looking at his teary eyes, mussed hair, and torn clothes.
