Help Me

"She's in critical condition, but she's going to be alright." The doctor said. Can we go

see her?" Joey asked. "Yeah, go on back." The doctor answered. Please let her be okay

God, please.Kaiba prayed silently. They all walked into Tea's room. She looked

awful. She had bruises all over her body, and her face was all swelled. She must be in so

much pain. Kaiba thought to himself. Tea opened one of her eyes, the other one was

swollen shut. She smiled when she saw everyone. Hi Tea, Yugi said gently. Tea's eyes

scanned over the people standing around her bed. When her eyes landed on Kaiba her

smile grew even more. "Thank-you." She said to him. He walked over to her and

brushed a piece of hair away from her face. Then he leaned down and kissed her

forehead gently. "You're welcome." He whispered to her. Tea, I've got good news for

you." Joey spoke up. "The doctor said you'll be out of here in about two weeks." Tea

looked at Joey and smiled. "Thanks Joey." "Well I guess we better get going," Kaiba

said. "Yeah, you need to take it easy." Yugi agreed.



TWO WEEKS LATER



Kaiba is picking up Tea from the hospital. "I'm so glad to be out of that

depressing hospital." Tea said with a sigh of relief. They both got into the car. "I'm

glad that you're out of the hospital too." Kaiba said. "Tea, I was wondering if you

would want to stay with me for a while." He asked her. "I'd like that." Tea said with a

smile. Kaiba smiled back. They drove to Tea's house. "Kaiba. I don't think I can go

in there." Tea said. "Do you want me to go with you?" He asked her. "I can't." She

said. "It would bring back too many bad memories." "Okay, we'll go get you some new

clothing." Kaiba said. They drove to the mall. While they were walking Tea looked up

at Kaiba. He's so sweet. She thought to herself. He really cares about me, he doesn't

want me to get hurt. Tea got a lot of new clothing. When they were done shopping they

drove back to his house. "Here we are." He said. He helped her get settled into her

room. All of the sudden Mokuba came running out of his room. "Big brother, you're

home!!!!!" He yelled. He ran over and Kaiba scooped the little boy up into his arms.

"Yeah, I'm home little guy." He ruffled up his hair and Mokuba giggled. "Who's that?"

He asked his brother. "This is Tea." Kaiba said. "She's going to be staying with us for a

while. "Hi." Mokuba said with a shy expression on his face. "Well hi there." Tea said.

"Your brother has told me a lot about you. Don't worry though, it's all good stuff.

"Mokuba pulled Kaiba down to his level. "I like her." Mokuba whispered loud enough

for Tea to hear him. "Yeah, I do too." Kaiba said. Kaiba looked over at Tea and smiled.

Tea blushed. "I'm going to go into my room and play Zelda." Mokuba said. "I'm still

having trouble with beating King Dodongo." "Okay." Kaiba said. Mokuba walked over

to Tea. "It was nice meeting you Tea." "The pleasure was all mine." Tea answered him.

Mokuba grinned at her and ran out of the room. "He's so sweet." Tea said. "He's very

polite too." "When my parents died I took on the responsibility of raising him myself."

Kaiba said. "When did your parents die?" Tea asked. "Wait, I'm sorry. You don't have

to answer that." Tea said quickly. "No, It's all right." Kaiba said. They died when I

was seven, and Mokuba was only two. We were put into an orphanage. Finally someone

came to adopt us." "Did you miss the orphanage?" Tea asked. "Well, the first week I

didn't. We were treated well. Then after that week he was very hard on us. He beat us."

Tea gasped. "He beat you?" She asked with surprise. "Yeah. Really badly." He

answered. "Whenever I saw him about to hit Mokuba I stopped him and took the

beating. I loved my brother more than anything. I just couldn't see him get hurt." "How

bad did he beat you?" She asked. Kaiba stood up unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off.

When Tea looked at him she thought she was going to be sick. He had so many scars

everywhere. Kaiba looked down at Tea with tears in his eyes. "This is why I had to stop

your father. I couldn't let this happen to you." He sat back down on the bed. Tea was

crying quietly. "Don't cry Tea." He wrapped his arms around her. He let go of her. She

looked at his back. She took her hand and touched his back. Kaiba flinched. She pulled

her hand away quickly. "No, it's okay." He said. "Go ahead." She gently placed her

hand on his back again. "This is horrible." She said. "Tea, I-I'm sorry." Kaiba said.

"Sorry for what?" She asked. "I'm sorry for not being there for you." He answered.

"What are you talking about?" She asked. "If I would have known you're situation I

would have taken the beatings for you." "Oh God." Tea said quietly. She lightly rubbed

her hands up and down his back, trying to ease his pain. He turned around to face her.

He wrapped his arms around her again. She liked the safe feeling of being held by

someone. He was so strong, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. He

had been through so much. After what seemed like forever, he let her go. She looked up

at him with sad eyes. He gave her a light smile. "Don't worry about me Tea. It's all

over. He stood up and put his shirt back on. I'm going to go downstairs. He left the

room. Tea changed into a pair of pajamas. She looked at herself in the mirror. She

brushed her hair out and pulled it back into a ponytail. Then she left the room and went

downstairs. Kaiba was sitting on the couch watching T.V. She walked over and sat

down next to him. He looked at her. She looked so cute. She was wearing a pair of

shorts with clouds on them, and a matching tank-top. She snuggled up close to him. He

put one of his arms around her. After a while she fell asleep on his shoulder. He sat

there thinking of how lucky he was to have someone like Tea that cares about him. A

couple hours later Kaiba carried Tea up to her bedroom and laid her on the bed. He gave

her a kiss on the forehead and left the room.

During the night Kaiba heard cries for help. He ran into Tea's room. The blankets were

on the ground, and Tea was drenched in sweat. He gently touched her face. Then he put

his hands on her shoulders. He shook her lightly. She woke up. When she realized

Kaiba was standing over her, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He gently pulled

her up to a sitting position. "You're okay Tea." Kaiba told her. Tea was gasping for air.

Kaiba held her close. "Shhhhh. It's okay now. You're alright." He whispered in her

ear. Tea finally calmed down a little. "Will you stay with me?" She asked him.

"Yeah." He answered her. He wanted to know what she dreamed about but he didn't

want to upset her. He was getting ready to lay on the floor when Tea asked if she would

sleep next to her. He was unsure at first, but seeing the fear in her eyes, he couldn't tell

her no. He laid next to her and held her close to him. He felt Tea's breath soft on his

neck. Then he eventually drifted off to sleep. The next morning Tea woke up

alone. She went downstairs and saw Mokuba eating breakfast talking to his brother about

his Zelda game. When they noticed she was up Kaiba smiled. "Good-morning Tea!"

Mokuba said cheerfully. "Good-morning Mokuba." Tea answered with a smile on her

face. "Mokuba is going to a friends house today." Kaiba said. "That's right!" Mokuba

said. "That means you two will be all alone." "Not quite." Kaiba said. "I invited Yugi

over so we could hang out. Joey and Tristan went camping with Joey's dad, so they can't

come." "Seto, we need to go." Mokuba said. "Okay Mokuba." Kaiba got up and

walked over to grab his keys off of the counter. "I'll be back in a twenty minutes." He

told Tea as he walked over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Tea blushed. "I

think I'm going to grab a shower while you're gone." She said. "Okay, bye." They both

walked out the door. Tea went upstairs and picked out some clothes to wear that day.

That's really sweet that Kaiba invited Yugi over. She grabbed her shower, got dressed

and pulled her hair into a ponytail. When she went downstairs Kaiba was sitting in a

chair reading a book. He looked up from his book and smiled at her. "Hey, what are you

reading?" She asked. "The Client." He answered. "That's the one by John Grisham,

right? Tea asked. "Right." He answered. "He's such a great writer. I love to read

stories about Law." "Really?" Kaiba asked. "Yeah, I want to go to New York to study

dance but if I can't, I want to practice law." "Wow." Kaiba said. "Hey I wanted to ask

you-" He started. The doorbell interrupted him. "I'll bet that's Yugi." Tea said.

"Yeah." said Kaiba. They both got up and walked to the door. Kaiba opened it. "Hey

Kaiba, Hey Tea." Yugi said. "Hi!" Kaiba and Tea answered at the same time. They

looked at each other and laughed. "Come in Yugi." Kaiba said. They all walked into the

living room. "How have you been feeling Tea?" Yugi asked. "Good, staying with

Kaiba has really helped." She answered smiling at Kaiba. "That's good, I'm just glad

you're safe. Yugi said.



Meanwhile a man was in search of Kaiba. I remember hearing of a boy named Yugi.

Maybe he knows Kaiba. The man thought to himself. He lives in the game shop with his

Grandpa, maybe he knows where Kaiba lives. The man walked to the door of the game

shop. He knocked and Grandpa came to the door. "Can I help you sir?" He asked.

"Yes." The man said. "Does Yugi Moto live here?" "Yes." Grandpa answered. "Can I

speak with him?" The man asked. "I'm sorry." Grandpa answered. "But he's not here.

He's at his friend Kaiba's house." "Excuse me, who's house?" The man asked. "Oh,

I'm sorry, Seto Kaiba's house. We got used to calling him Kaiba, you see it's kind of

like a nick name-" The man wasn't listening to Grandpa anymore. He lost interest in the

old man's story. He was trying to think of a way to get this guy to give him Kaiba's

address. "Could you give me the address?" The man asked. "Of Duelist Kingdom?"

Grandpa asked, obviously confused. "No, of Seto Kaiba's house." The man answered

impatiently. "Why do you need it?" Grandpa asked. "Well I'm a reporter, and I'd like

to speak to them on their dueling talents." The man said. "Oh, well here, let me write it

down for you." Grandpa wrote the address on a piece of paper and gave it to the man.

"Thank-you. The man told Grandpa, and with that he got into his car and left.



"Tea." Yugi started. "That kid in our Algebra class, the one that sits in front of Bakura,

asked about you on Wednesday in class." "You mean Eugene!" Tea said with a laugh.

"Yeah. I think he's got a thing for you Tea!" Yugi said, and then they all

three burst out laughing.



The man pulled up in front of Kaiba's house. Here I am. He thought to himself. He got

out of the car and made his way up to the door.

Yugi, Tea, and Kaiba were all laughing, when all of the sudden they heard the

doorbell ring. They all got up and started walking to the door. "Maybe it's Joey and

Tristan coming over to say they got scared out there in the wild." Tea said. They all

started laughing. Kaiba reached out a hand, turned the knob, and pulled the door open.

When they saw who was at the door the laughing stopped immediately. "Guess what

Tea?" The man started. "Daddy's home."
