"Its you! Seto! I can't believe its you!" she threw her arms around him hugged him tight. He pulled her away gently and looked down to her(him being a head's taller than her). She looked into his azure eyes and realized they were the same color as hers.

"I'm here now. Like the old days. I've decided to move here too. Work isn't very far after all." he said to her. He closed his eyes, and kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll never leave you alone again." Seto whispered to her. She looked up to Seto and smiled. She then turned to Yami and Yugi.

"Seto. These are my dear friends Yami and Yugi Muto." She said to him with a smile. Seto put a more serious face on and held out a hand. He shook both of their hands.

"Pleasure is mine gentlemen," Seto said with a ghost of a smile. Yami nodded and put a hand on Tea's shoulder.

"We should be going Tea. Let you two get settled in," he said. Yugi nodded said to his goodbye. He followed his older brother.

"Bye guys!" she yelled as she waved her hand. "

He looks like a nice boy, Yami" Seto said to her. "Is he your boyfriend??" he asked with a grin

"He's just my friend Seto. Both of them," Tea said with a frown.

"Sure he is." Seto replied turning his back on her and started walking fast toward the porch door.

"SEETOO!!!!!!" she yelled and jumped on his back. He caught her and ran inside the house with her.


Inside the Muto house, Yami was watching Tea and Seto chatting their hearts out. He had a view from his bedroom window. Then heard the phone ring, picked it up and said:

"Hello? Mutou residence."

"Hey, Is Yugi there?" Joey's voice answered.

"Yes, but he's resting now Joey," Yami said in a sigh.

"Dude, Yam, you don't sound so good. What's da matter?"

"Oh, I'm fine...but...Tea's last remaining family member came to live with her and her grandma. His name is, I recall, Seto." Joey gasped.

"Yami! Seto? As in the Seto Kaiba?! Man he loaded and dangerous!" Joey yelled into the phone. Yami had to hold the receiver away from his ear for a moment, and then held it back to his ear.

"Yea, I've heard of his reputation. What do you mean dangerous?" he started again.

"Seto is like the Godfather of the Mafia!" Joey waited for a reply. "I hear he killed people by just saying so! Just like in the movies!"

"Joey. Lay off the popcorn for a while," Yami laughed. But Seto can't be all that bad though. He really loves her as if she was his daughter. Yami had the impression that Seto would never lay a harmful finger on Tea. He wants to protect her just like he wanted to protect.

"Well I some things to do Joey, I'll see you at school tomorrow,"

"Take it easy Yami." And they both hung up.


The next day, Tea was woken up by Seto jumping on her bedside playfully.

"WAAA!"

"Geez! Seto! You scared the living hell out of me!" She said as she pushed him off the bed and got up.

"I wish I didn't have to go to school today. Then I would get to hang out with you." She said as she searched her closet for her school uniform.

"Skip school just for that? Don't tell me you forgot what today is..." Seto replied as he got up from the floor. She stood there and thought. Then it hit like a rock.

"Today is my 16th Birthday!" she yelled in delight.

"She remembers...and here is a little something for you," He pulled out a long and thin box with silver wrapping paper on it.

"Seto, you didn't need to get me anything. You are my gift." She said and gave him a kiss on his forehead. But he shoved the gift into her hands. She looked at him and smiled. She then carefully tore the paper off and opened the box. Inside the box was a diamond rose.

"Oh, Seto! Its beautiful!" she took the rose out carefully and held it up to the sunlight. "Its diamond," He said with a smirk. Tea almost dropped the rose.

"Real DIAMOND??!" she gasped. Seto nodded. Tea ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Alright. Get dressed," Seto said. Tea set down the rose on her nightstand and then went to get dressed.

"Excuse me while I get ready also." Seto said as he made his way out the door.

"Ready for what?"

"School" he said as he left her room. She paused and then smiled to herself. She almost forgot, he was a senior college student.

After getting ready and eating breakfast, Seto and Tea left for school.

"Seto, wait." Tea told him as she made her way over to Yami's house.

"Why?" he said as he watched her.

"I always walk to school with Yami." She said as she knocked on the
door. Yugi opened the door and smiled.

"Hey Tea! Happy Birthday!" he said as he gave her a hug.

"Thanks Yugi!" He let go of her and walked down the porch stairs. Yugi called to Yami.

"Good morning Yugi." Seto said to him with another shake of the hand.

"Morning Seto". Yugi replied with a smile.

"The university is a ways off from the high school, so I'll be off." Seto said as he adjusted the strap on his laptop bag.

"Okay." Tea said as she kissed his cheek. He left with a goodbye from Yugi.

"Yami!!"
