Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! So there! Though, I wish I did lol. That
would be so cool if I did! Because if I did, Yami Marik would not be dead,
someone else would lol. Don't know who yet, but someone I don't like lol.
And Mokuba would be seen a lot more! Cause he's so cute and I love him to
pieces! And plus, the story would be more of a Romance/Angst/Action
Adventure type show! Yay! I so rule lol. . .

Chapter Three: The Date!
Friday morning soon came, and Tea was nervous. Tonight was the night she would go out with Seto Kaiba. She didn't want to, but she did want to go to the ballet more then anything, so she would do it. Promising herself to ignore him for the rest of her life. It's just one night she thought, removing her pink covers off her small thin body, and getting up.
She yawned quietly, and stood up, walking over to her bathroom. There, she got dressed into her school uniform and brushed her hair neatly in place. Looking at herself in the mirror, she decided she looked good and went downstairs to eat her breakfast.
"Morning Tea dear" her mom said brightly, as she watched her daughter enter the room. "Hi mom, where's dad?" she asked, looking about the kitchen, not finding him anywhere. "He's gone to work sweetie, sit down Tea, eat, your getting quite pale," she said, putting toast and orange juice on the table.
"I can't mom, I need to get to school, I'm meeting a friend of mine there" she said. "Oh really?" her mom asked. "And who is this friend?" she asked. Tea sighed, rolling her eyes. "His name is Ryou mom" she said. "Ryou? You mean a boy? I want to meet him Tea," she said. Tea rolled her eyes again. "Fine mom" she said.
Tea grabbed her bag and walked over to the door. "Bring him after school okay?" her mom called after her. Tea stopped. "Mom, I'm busy after school" she said. She watched down the hallway as her mom came down. "Tea where are you going then?" she asked. "I'm going to Yugi's game shop" she said. "Fine then, after that" her mom said. "I can't mom, I have. . .a date?" she questioned herself.
Her mother gasped. "Tea, who are you going on a date with?" she asked. "Mom! Geez, Seto Kaiba okay? Now can I go? Why must you ask me all these questions?" she said annoyed. Her mother glared at her. "I want to meet him" was all she said as she got back to the kitchen.
Tea sighed and left her house annoyed. My mother is so annoying! She has to know everything that's happening in my life! Why can't she just but out for once? It would make me so much happier she thought, walked down the cloudy streets of Domino.
And then, my dad. With his stupid 'You have to get good marks' because no man will ever want a stupid woman. Geez, I know I'm not stupid! Parents are so impossible, I. . .argh! She thought, continuing her way to school, about a block away.
Now, put them together and what do you get? Strict and insane parents she thought angrily. Finally getting to school, she noticed Ryou waiting for her by the front entrance.
"Hey Ryou" she said, walking up to him, smiling. "Hey there Tea" he said as they both walked in. "So what's up?" she asked him. "Nothing really, I wasn't waiting long till you arrived" he stated. "Sorry about that, my mom was asking questions after questions. . .she wants to meet you" she said. "Me-meet me? Why?" he asked her. "Because, she just wants to," Tea said. "Sorry" she added. "Not, it's quite alright" he said as they walked into their homeroom class.
"Hey Yugi" Tea said taking a seat, just as the bell rang, signaling classes were now started, "Hi Tea" he said simply, and got back to finishing up his homework, as they teacher entered the class, starting the lesson.
~*Lunch Time*~
As usual, Tea, Ryou and Yugi sat outside, eating their lunch and talking. "So, are you guys coming over after school?" Yugi asked them, taking a bite out of his salad. "I am" Ryou said. "I am too, but, I can't stay long, I have a date to get ready for" Tea said, "A date?" Yugi repeated. "With who?" he asked her.
"With. . .um. . .Kaiba" she said. "Kaiba? I thought you didn't like him" Ryou said, a little sad. "I don't, it's just, and he tempted me with these really great, sold out ballet tickets. I really wanted to go," she said. After the words had come out of her mouth, she felt bad, guilty even. Why? She didn't even know, but right then, she felt pathetic.
"Oh I see" Ryou said. "Yeah, I mean, I don't like him at all. I just wanted to go, you know?" she said. "Not really, I didn't even know you liked ballet" Ryou said. "Well you did just meet me no? And I love ballet, that's what I want to be when I get older" she said. "Oh I see, so you practice, are you any good?" he asked her. "I practice, and I'm guessing I'm good. I applied to this school for ballet in New York, but my parents don't want me going there" she said.
"Oh I see then, well I hope you get in, I'm sure your quite good. Also, have a good time tonight" he added. "Thanks Ryou, I think it's going to be great" she said happily. "Are you sure you don't like Kaiba, Tea?" Yugi asked, smirking slightly. Tea punched him playfully on the arm. "Of course not" she said.
"That will surely change" a voice, said behind them, making all three turn around. "What do you want Kaiba?" Tea asked. "Just wanted to remind you I'll be picking you up at seven, the ballet starts at seven-thirty," he said. "Fine, whatever, now leave" she said. Kaiba smirked. "You won't be saying that for long" he said, turning around and walking away.
"She still hates you" Bakura taunted Kaiba. Kaiba growled, as Bakura walked beside him. "She thinks that, I know she likes me," Kaiba said. "She's just being idiotic" Kaiba added. "I can't wait till the month ends, then you'll be doing whatever I say" Bakura laughed. "That's what you think," Kaiba stated.
"Not what I think, but what I know" Bakura snickered as he walked away. "Idiot" Kaiba mumbled as the bell rang.
~*After School*~
Tea walked out the school, with Ryou and Yugi. "So, what are we going to do there?" Tea asked. "Duel, show you around, and you can meet my grandpa" Yugi said. "Oh cool, but I don't duel," she said. "That's okay, we can teach you" Ryou said. "Well, I really don't have time to learn, but I will watch you guys duel okay?" she asked. "Sure, that's fine" Yugi said as they continued on their way to Yugi's Game Shop.
When getting there, they entered the shop, and were greeted by what Tea thought was Yugi's Grandfather. "Hello there Yugi and Ryou, who's your new friend?" he asked from behind the counter. "Oh she's new here Grandpa, her name is Tea," he said. "Hello Tea" he greeted her, which she returned.
"So do you duel like these boys?" he asked her. "No I don't" she said. "Well being around them, you'll learn quick, Yugi and Joey always duel," he said. "Oh that's right Tea, I invited Joey and Serenity," he said. "Cool" she said simply.
"Hey dere" Joey said, entering the shop. He had wavy blond hair and brown eyes, wearing a simple white top and blue jeans. Behind him, was a young girl, maybe younger, with long brown hair and big brown eyes. She was wearing blue shorts and a pink tank top that said cutie on it.
"Hey Joey, Serenity. Meet my new friend Tea" Yugi said joyfully. "Hey dere Tea" Joey said giving her a smile. Serenity rolled her eyes as she pushed pass him. "Hi, I'm Serenity, Joey's little sister" she said sweetly. "Nice to meet you" Tea said.
"Today is the day ladies and jets, today is the day I beat Yugi Moto in a duel" Joey said with a smirk as he sat down at a chair. "May the better duelist win Joey" Yugi said.
The two girls watched from the corner of the room, as they began their duel. "So you don't duel?" Serenity asked her. "Nope. I honestly don't have the time, school and everything" Tea said as she watched Yugi put a face card down. "I don't duel either, I just support my big brother. He comes here almost everyday and tries to beat Yugi" she said. "And I'm guessing he hasn't yet?" Tea asked her. "Not yet, but Joey is really good, it's usually really close" Serenity said.
"Oh okay then" Tea said checking her watch. She had to leave soon and she didn't want to have to rush through that and all, she preferred to take her time, because doing that, she looked her best. "I'm so glad it's Friday! I've been busy all week you know" Serenity said. "As am I, I'm going to the ballet tonight" Tea said happily.
"Oh really? That's neat. Do you dance too?" Serenity asked her. "Yeah I do, I even applied to a dancing school in New York, I hope I get in" Tea said. "I'm sure you will" Serenity said.
"Aw damn! I should of seen dat comin'" Joey complained as he watched his life points drop. "It's okay Joey, we can all make some mistakes can't we?" Yugi asked. "Yeah, but you never do" he grumbled putting down a monster card.
"So, who are you going to the ballet with?" Serenity asked her casually. "Oh, some guy" Tea said, turning away. She didn't want people knowing whom she was going with. Not at all, she thought. "Some guy? Oh come on, tell me" Serenity asked all giggly. Tea rolled her eyes and sighed. "Kaiba" she said.
Serenity gasped. "Him? The Seto. . .wow" she trailed off. Tea couldn't help but laugh. "I know, he's annoying isn't he?" Tea asked. "No, he's just super hot" she giggled, but stopped when her brother had lost the game.
"Better luck next time big brother" she said. "Thanks Serenity" he said. "So, want to get something to eat?" Joey added, as his stomach rumbled. "Sure thing Joey. Ryou, Tea are you going to join us?" Yugi asked them. "No, I can't I have to get home, I have to get ready for my date tonight" Tea said. "I should be getting home anyways also, Bakura will be hungry, and he can't cook" Ryou said. Yugi laughed. "Oh okay Ryou, bye. And have fun Tea" Yugi called out as she walked out with Ryou. "I will" she replied.
The two walked down the streets of Domino till they stopped in front of Tea's house. "Have fun and be careful" Ryou said, giving her a hug. "I will, I will" she said smiling, returning his hug. "See you Monday" he called as he continued his way home. Tea smiled and walked into her house, and to her luck, empty.
Walking to the kitchen, she found a white piece of paper left on the table, with writing on it. I knew if the house was empty, this was going to be here Tea thought as she picked up the paper and began to read it.
Dear Tea,
I had to go to the mall to pick up a few things, and then go do some other errands. So sorry I won't be able to meet this young man taking you out. Please be careful sweetie, and I'll meet him after the date. Don't forget to finish your homework too dear.
Love, Mom.
After reading the letter, Tea put the paper back on the table and walked up the stairs to her room. Closing the door, she walked over to the bathroom, took off her school uniform, and go in the shower. Turning on the faucet, she made it so warm water flew out, and onto her body.
She washed her hair well, and then conditioned it, making her hair smell like cherries. She then washed her body and got out. She would of stayed longer, but she had things to do, and she was running out of time.
Getting out, she wrapped a towel around her body and walked out to her dresser. She then pulled out a nice summer dress. It was pale pink, spaghetti strapped, and it went up to her knees. After drying herself, she put the dress on and looked at herself in the mirror. Seems good enough to go to ballet right? She thought.
She then went and blow-dried her hair, and brushing it neatly into place, when she was done, she put on black eyeliner and mascara. Good, make up and hair is done she thought, now jewelry she thought, going to her jewelry box and opening it. She then took out a gold bracelet an put it on.
"Perfect" she said, looking at herself in the mirror. Looking at the time, it was six-fifty nine. Just in time too she thought, going downstairs and grabbing her purse, and slipping on her pink sandals. I don't look bad at all she thought, looking herself over.
Wait, am I worried I won't look good enough for the ballet or for that idiot Kaiba she thought. No, no, no! For the ballet she thought smiling. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, making Tea jump. Geez, that scared me she thought breathing hard as she opened the door to find a well-dressed Kaiba standing there.
"H-hey" Tea said, a little nervous. Kaiba smirked, stupid woman he thought. Tea glared. "Your late" she said. Kaiba looked at her. "No I'm not, but if we waste anymore time with your idiotic bickering, we will be late won't we?" he questioned, as he turned and walked to his limo that was waiting for them.
Tea grumbled as she followed him into the limo, taking a seat opposite of Kaiba. Tea looked around the limo. It was big no doubt, and the seats were black leather. A small television was in the far right corner and a small fridge on the side that held drinks.
"Nice limo" Tea said casually to him, and then brought her eyes to the window, as she watched the houses pass by. "Thank you" he said simply. Kaiba looked over the young brunette. Well he thought, she looks decent; I didn't expect her to look as good as she does now, so I will give her that he thought, but nothing more. I just want to fake my way through this so she loves me, and so I can make Bakura pay he thought.
The drive was not that long to Tea's surprise, which she didn't mind. She was so excited to see the ballet, it had been on her mind all week, and even though it was with Kaiba, she was looking forward to it. This was a chance in a lifetime. These tickets were sold out, and she had to wonder how he got these tickets in such short notice. He didn't seem like the type that liked this kind of stuff at all.
Tea got out of the limo, and soon after, so did Kaiba. Her eyes wondered over the many people that were already here, walking in and taking their seat, some just as excited as her, and some as annoyed as Kaiba was right now. "Do you even like ballet?" Tea questioned as they walked into the building, and gave their tickets. "I don't mind it, I just don't like watching men jump around" he said as they took their seats.
"Wow, these are great seats Kaiba," she said excitedly. "I know" he said. She turned to him, a question in mind. "How did you know I liked ballet?" she asked. Kaiba smirked. "I just did," he said.
Tea rolled her eyes as she looked around, watching the many people take their seats. "You know, in the early days, only men were allowed to perform," she said to him. "Interesting" Kaiba, said, not really meaning it, he had said it with sarcasm, but Tea, he thought, hadn't gotten it because she continued on.
"But in 1681, women were finally allowed to dance and become professional dancers and perform in public. You know, the first ballerinas were French? Isn't that cool?" she asked him. Kaiba sighed. "Quite" he said, sitting back, and crossing his arms over his chest. Tea sighed. "You invite me to this, and you get all annoyed when I talk about it, you are so selfish" she said angrily.
"Selfish?" Kaiba repeated. He then bent over and whispered to her. "Who the hell cares about a bunch of idiot dancers that prance around?" he asked her. Tea bit her lip. He had just insulted what she loved most, dancing. He doesn't know anything she thought. "You know nothing, of how hard it is to work and learn these moves, it takes a long time to perfect them, and you act like they do it and learn it in minutes" she whispered back.
"That's because it sucks. I for one, do something worthwhile, instead of these losers" Kaiba whispered back, as the lights dimmed and the curtains began to open, and music started. "That's what you think" she said quickly before going back to the ballet, as people began to show, dancing gracefully on stage.
Tea watched, as the ballet went on for an hour and a half. To her, the time had flown by quickly, and she had loved every move, every step of it, and if she could she would watch it forever. Kaiba on the other hand, was bored stiff, and he wanted to leave the boring ballet as quick as possible, but seeing as he was trying to please Tea, he would stay. No way in hell would he lose a bet to Bakura.
"So beautiful" Tea said as she watched the beautiful dancer jump up into the air doing a hard move, one that Tea had almost perfected. "Not really, so boring more like" Kaiba commented. All he heard that night was, beautiful, did you see that? He was tired of it now. And he wanted it to stop.
Tea growled, tearing her eyes from the stage. "Kaiba, shut up, I want to enjoy this, and I hate listening to your stupid babyish complaints," she hissed. Kaiba smirked. "I'll do whatever I please Gardner" her said. "Whatever" she said, not wanting to fight with him anymore, she just wanted to enjoy what was left of the ballet, and hopefully Kaiba would shut up.
"Ha, can you believe people waste their time doing such an idiotic profession? They look like imbeciles" Kaiba said. Tea bit her lip. She would not lose it, not here, not now. She wouldn't let him get to her, not while she was having such a good time watching this. "I can't believe people pay so much to watch this bullshit," Kaiba continued.
Now, Tea was angry. Tea stood up, and looked down on him. "You are such an asshole! You know nothing!" she yelled, not caring as people began to look. "This is not stupid at all, your work and what you do is stupid," she continued angrily. "Gardner, sit the hell down" he hissed at her.
Tea smirked, and grabbed her water bottle, opened it, and emptied the cold water on top of him. "By the way, you paid for this bullshit" she said and walked out of the room angrily. When getting outside, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
When calmed, she began to walk home. She didn't need a lift, and it wasn't that late, plus, a good walk would calm her down anyways. . .or so she thought.
Because just then, a loud thunder was heard, and rain started to pour hard on her, making her scream in frustration as she began to get wet, ruining her little pink dress.
"Now what?" she asked herself, as the rain fell down on her, making her shiver in the cold.

"So, who are you going to the ballet with?" Serenity asked her casually. "Oh, some guy" Tea said, turning away. She didn't want people knowing whom she was going with. Not at all, she thought. "Some guy? Oh come on, tell me" Serenity asked all giggly. Tea rolled her eyes and sighed. "Kaiba" she said.
Serenity gasped. "Him? The Seto. . .wow" she trailed off. Tea couldn't help but laugh. "I know, he's annoying isn't he?" Tea asked. "No, he's just super hot" she giggled, but stopped when her brother had lost the game.
"Better luck next time big brother" she said. "Thanks Serenity" he said. "So, want to get something to eat?" Joey added, as his stomach rumbled. "Sure thing Joey. Ryou, Tea are you going to join us?" Yugi asked them. "No, I can't I have to get home, I have to get ready for my date tonight" Tea said. "I should be getting home anyways also, Bakura will be hungry, and he can't cook" Ryou said. Yugi laughed. "Oh okay Ryou, bye. And have fun Tea" Yugi called out as she walked out with Ryou. "I will" she replied.
The two walked down the streets of Domino till they stopped in front of Tea's house. "Have fun and be careful" Ryou said, giving her a hug. "I will, I will" she said smiling, returning his hug. "See you Monday" he called as he continued his way home. Tea smiled and walked into her house, and to her luck, empty.
Walking to the kitchen, she found a white piece of paper left on the table, with writing on it. I knew if the house was empty, this was going to be here Tea thought as she picked up the paper and began to read it.
Dear Tea,
I had to go to the mall to pick up a few things, and then go do some other errands. So sorry I won't be able to meet this young man taking you out. Please be careful sweetie, and I'll meet him after the date. Don't forget to finish your homework too dear.
Love, Mom.
After reading the letter, Tea put the paper back on the table and walked up the stairs to her room. Closing the door, she walked over to the bathroom, took off her school uniform, and go in the shower. Turning on the faucet, she made it so warm water flew out, and onto her body.
She washed her hair well, and then conditioned it, making her hair smell like cherries. She then washed her body and got out. She would of stayed longer, but she had things to do, and she was running out of time.
Getting out, she wrapped a towel around her body and walked out to her dresser. She then pulled out a nice summer dress. It was pale pink, spaghetti strapped, and it went up to her knees. After drying herself, she put the dress on and looked at herself in the mirror. Seems good enough to go to ballet right? She thought.
She then went and blow-dried her hair, and brushing it neatly into place, when she was done, she put on black eyeliner and mascara. Good, make up and hair is done she thought, now jewelry she thought, going to her jewelry box and opening it. She then took out a gold bracelet an put it on.
"Perfect" she said, looking at herself in the mirror. Looking at the time, it was six-fifty nine. Just in time too she thought, going downstairs and grabbing her purse, and slipping on her pink sandals. I don't look bad at all she thought, looking herself over.
Wait, am I worried I won't look good enough for the ballet or for that idiot Kaiba she thought. No, no, no! For the ballet she thought smiling. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, making Tea jump. Geez, that scared me she thought breathing hard as she opened the door to find a well-dressed Kaiba standing there.
"H-hey" Tea said, a little nervous. Kaiba smirked, stupid woman he thought. Tea glared. "Your late" she said. Kaiba looked at her. "No I'm not, but if we waste anymore time with your idiotic bickering, we will be late won't we?" he questioned, as he turned and walked to his limo that was waiting for them.
Tea grumbled as she followed him into the limo, taking a seat opposite of Kaiba. Tea looked around the limo. It was big no doubt, and the seats were black leather. A small television was in the far right corner and a small fridge on the side that held drinks.
"Nice limo" Tea said casually to him, and then brought her eyes to the window, as she watched the houses pass by. "Thank you" he said simply. Kaiba looked over the young brunette. Well he thought, she looks decent; I didn't expect her to look as good as she does now, so I will give her that he thought, but nothing more. I just want to fake my way through this so she loves me, and so I can make Bakura pay he thought.
The drive was not that long to Tea's surprise, which she didn't mind. She was so excited to see the ballet, it had been on her mind all week, and even though it was with Kaiba, she was looking forward to it. This was a chance in a lifetime. These tickets were sold out, and she had to wonder how he got these tickets in such short notice. He didn't seem like the type that liked this kind of stuff at all.
Tea got out of the limo, and soon after, so did Kaiba. Her eyes wondered over the many people that were already here, walking in and taking their seat, some just as excited as her, and some as annoyed as Kaiba was right now. "Do you even like ballet?" Tea questioned as they walked into the building, and gave their tickets. "I don't mind it, I just don't like watching men jump around" he said as they took their seats.
"Wow, these are great seats Kaiba," she said excitedly. "I know" he said. She turned to him, a question in mind. "How did you know I liked ballet?" she asked. Kaiba smirked. "I just did," he said.
Tea rolled her eyes as she looked around, watching the many people take their seats. "You know, in the early days, only men were allowed to perform," she said to him. "Interesting" Kaiba, said, not really meaning it, he had said it with sarcasm, but Tea, he thought, hadn't gotten it because she continued on.
"But in 1681, women were finally allowed to dance and become professional dancers and perform in public. You know, the first ballerinas were French? Isn't that cool?" she asked him. Kaiba sighed. "Quite" he said, sitting back, and crossing his arms over his chest. Tea sighed. "You invite me to this, and you get all annoyed when I talk about it, you are so selfish" she said angrily.
"Selfish?" Kaiba repeated. He then bent over and whispered to her. "Who the hell cares about a bunch of idiot dancers that prance around?" he asked her. Tea bit her lip. He had just insulted what she loved most, dancing. He doesn't know anything she thought. "You know nothing, of how hard it is to work and learn these moves, it takes a long time to perfect them, and you act like they do it and learn it in minutes" she whispered back.
"That's because it sucks. I for one, do something worthwhile, instead of these losers" Kaiba whispered back, as the lights dimmed and the curtains began to open, and music started. "That's what you think" she said quickly before going back to the ballet, as people began to show, dancing gracefully on stage.
Tea watched, as the ballet went on for an hour and a half. To her, the time had flown by quickly, and she had loved every move, every step of it, and if she could she would watch it forever. Kaiba on the other hand, was bored stiff, and he wanted to leave the boring ballet as quick as possible, but seeing as he was trying to please Tea, he would stay. No way in hell would he lose a bet to Bakura.
"So beautiful" Tea said as she watched the beautiful dancer jump up into the air doing a hard move, one that Tea had almost perfected. "Not really, so boring more like" Kaiba commented. All he heard that night was, beautiful, did you see that? He was tired of it now. And he wanted it to stop.
Tea growled, tearing her eyes from the stage. "Kaiba, shut up, I want to enjoy this, and I hate listening to your stupid babyish complaints," she hissed. Kaiba smirked. "I'll do whatever I please Gardner" her said. "Whatever" she said, not wanting to fight with him anymore, she just wanted to enjoy what was left of the ballet, and hopefully Kaiba would shut up.
"Ha, can you believe people waste their time doing such an idiotic profession? They look like imbeciles" Kaiba said. Tea bit her lip. She would not lose it, not here, not now. She wouldn't let him get to her, not while she was having such a good time watching this. "I can't believe people pay so much to watch this bullshit," Kaiba continued.
Now, Tea was angry. Tea stood up, and looked down on him. "You are such an asshole! You know nothing!" she yelled, not caring as people began to look. "This is not stupid at all, your work and what you do is stupid," she continued angrily. "Gardner, sit the hell down" he hissed at her.
Tea smirked, and grabbed her water bottle, opened it, and emptied the cold water on top of him. "By the way, you paid for this bullshit" she said and walked out of the room angrily. When getting outside, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
When calmed, she began to walk home. She didn't need a lift, and it wasn't that late, plus, a good walk would calm her down anyways. . .or so she thought.
Because just then, a loud thunder was heard, and rain started to pour hard on her, making her scream in frustration as she began to get wet, ruining her little pink dress.
"Now what?" she asked herself, as the rain fell down on her, making her shiver in the cold.
