A/N- Just a hello to my readers! Also if you want to know my weird YGO! Dream, read my bio, it should be at the bottom of it. It won't make a lot of sense since none of my dreams do, but is still funny if you get it. Made me start laughing when I woke up and realized what I was dreaming about. Especially Eim, his voice and the way he acted were hilarious. Ok you have no idea what im talking about but that's ok and you probably want me to stop this note but that's not okay cause I still have more to say and when I say it then I will be done but not until I say what I want to say. Okay I said it now to the story!
Author Note Revised: Dream not there anymore

Tea walked inside her house and sat down on the couch. She sighed and looked at the phone on the table next to her.
"That's weird, I have a message," Tea said and pressed the play button.
"You have one new message." The automated voice on the phone said.
"Who cares how many, just play it." She said to it, although it was just a phone.
"Hey Tea, its Joey! Are you back in town? We heard a rumor that you were so if ya are, give one of us call. See ya later." The message ended in a beep and they room went quite.
"Great, I was going to tell them. I hope I don't get a pity party when I call them back. But when will I? I have no idea Tea when will you? When I feel like it! Ha ha ha!" Tea said to herself malevolently. She has been alone too long. It had been a few days since she had a decent conversation, and that was the Kaiba's. She sighed and thought about her friends.

Tea walked down the hall, pushing her cart of cleaners. She was almost done, all she had to do was vacuum. She managed to time herself right so that she vacuumed after Seto left, but tonight he was staying longer than he usually did.
"Stupid man's a workaholic. He needs to get a life." Tea said to herself as she put in another CD for her player. The CD was a practice disk that had her recent dance tour show songs on them. She pressed play and grabbed the handle of her vacuum. Just to tick him off, even though it was running a high risk of being fired, she started in front of Seto's office.
-
Seto stared at his computer screen, checking over all the calculations of his latest top-secret invention that would make his competitors heads spin. Not quite satisfied with all the results, he looked over other notes and reports of his workers.
"Damn, incompetent workers. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Arg, what the hell is that?" Seto yelled as he heard the vacuum roar to life outside his office.
"Not the damn contraption again. Next thing I'll invent is the silent vacuum. Wait, I think the already exist, then why do the use those noisy things? People work here!" Seto said to himself as he stood up and walked over to the door, ready to fire another person. He opened the door, not expecting what he saw. Tea had begun dancing with the vacuum, using it as her partner (it wasn't a really heavy one, it was a lightweight one and its still on.).
At least she isn't dancing crazily like the last time I walked in on her.
She was dancing to the CD she was listening to, getting every beat right. Seto watched from his doorway as she danced gracefully and expertly around the hall. Tea wasn't paying attention to what was going on around her, since she was just happy to be doing what she loved to do.
"Gardner, Gardner!" Seto yelled, trying to get her attention. He wasn't sure if she couldn't hear him or if she was ignoring him. He walked over to her, trying to avoid being hit by her. Tea had closed her eyes now, just enjoying the music. He placed a hand on her shoulder, putting his other arm up to his face, just in case her reflex was to punch him. Tea jumped in the air when she felt something touch her. She whipped around and saw her boss standing behind her, with a look of amusement on his face. She turned red and pulled her headphones down around her neck then turned them off. It took her a second to recover and she turned off the vacuum.
"What do you want? Shouldn't you be at home right now?" Tea asked glaring at him.
"You know, you scare too easily." Seto said, smirking at her.
"Don't dance around the subject, answer my questions!" Tea demanded, intensifying her glare.
"Speaking of dancing, you're a cleaner now, that means you clean. You don't dance anymore. And I go home when I want too. If it's my choice to stay all night here, I will." Seto replied, narrowing his eyes.
"I only clean this place temporarily. I will go back to dancing. So don't think I'll be your little maid forever 'cause I won't! And if you want to spend the night here, you can. Just don't dirty up things." Tea said angrily. (Now they're pretty much yelling and glaring at each other until one of them runs out of comebacks.)
"How could I 'dirty up things' if you never clean my office?"
"I don't clean your office because you are always in there and you never let me!"
"Well, if you were more quite, then you could clean my office!"
"I wouldn't have to be quite if you went home at eight o' clock like the rest of the employees here!"
"I'm in charge of this company and I have to make sure that these employees don't screw things up. And the only way to keep up with all their crappy work is for me to work late fixing it!"
"Not everything has to be perfect, you could just go with what your employees work! That's why the work here, they are employees you employed them to do that work. What's the point of having them do anything if you just go around and change it?"
"I employed you to be a cleaner. And what are you doing? Dancing!"
"I can take a break, can't I? My job is to clean, and I can work any time between eight p.m. and seven a.m. as long as it gets done. So I have lots of time to finish. You on the other hand should go home and sleep because you need to go to work in the morning!"
"What about you, don't you need to sleep?"
"Of course I do, are you that much of an idiot? I sleep during the day, when I don't work. And why do you care if I sleep or not? As long as I clean this damn floor and stay out of your way, you don't care about me!"
"I never said that, can't I ask a question without being yelled at for once?"
"It depends on what you're asking,"
"So what qualifies?"
"What do you mean 'what qualifies'?"
"What can I ask without getting my head bit off?"
"Anything that doesn't insult, criticize, or hurt me or my friends."
"Fine, how are you?"
"What" Tea blinked and looked at him hard, trying to figure out what just happened.
"I asked you a question, now I expect you to answer." Seto said smirking, knowing that he had won their argument.
"Um, I'm fine I guess." Tea said trailing off into her own thoughts.
"Good, now get back to work," Seto said walking back to his office. Tea sighed and mentally kicked herself for letting him win so easily. She grabbed the vacuum, turned it on, and looked down the hall.
Damn, why is this place so huge?
-
Seto sat as his desk and looked at the clock on his laptop. It read 11:12 p.m. It had been awhile since he and Tea had their argument, and the noises of the vacuum had disappeared too. Thinking how sweet the silence was, he heard a knock on his door.
Darn, thought to soon.
"What Gardner?" Seto said, not moving.
"I do have a first name. That's the last time I'll try to be polite and knock on your door." Tea said walking into his office.
"I know you have first name, but I don't have enough respect for you to call you by it. And it doesn't matter if you knock on the door or not, no one else is here." Seto said smirking at her. Tea glared at him, but did not let it show that his comment hurt her.
"Do you want me to clean your office or not?"
"Fine go ahead and do what you want, just don't touch anything." Seto said turning back to his work.
"Then how am I supposed to clean in here?" Tea asked.
"Fine, if you move something, put it back exactly where you found it." Seto said and sighed.
"That won't be hard," Tea muttered taking a good look around the office. There wasn't much in there, except a bookcase that had two pictures of Mokuba and Noa and various books on the shelves. The only other thing was Kaiba's desk and a few chairs.
"I half expected a mini kitchen and couch in here, since he basically lives here." Tea muttered as she walked out to her cart in the hall.
"There was no need, since there's a lounge down the hall." Kaiba said in a monotone, because most of his attention was concentrated on his work. Tea looked at him, surprised that he was listening to her. She went about cleaning the place as quietly as she could. Once or twice, she would look over at Seto, but he never showed any signs of leaving. Seto was almost finished with what he was doing, almost forgetting that someone else was in the room with him. Feeling tired, he rested his head on his desk for a few moments for a small nap. The third time Tea looked at him, she noticed that he had put his head down on his desk and fallen asleep.
Stupid man, he should have listened to me.
She walked over to him and looked at the laptop. She saved all the work he was doing and shut it off. Tea kept looking at Seto, trying not to wake him up. Seto woke up when he heard his laptop shut off. He opened one of his eyes slowly to see who had turned it off. He watched Tea as she picked it up and placed it in his bag. Wondering what else she would do, he pretended to sleep. Tea looked down at Seto and smiled. She moved over to the window, and when he sensed that she wasn't near him anymore, he opened his eyes and watched her. She looked out the windows (floor to ceiling that cover the whole wall) in awe. You could see a good part of the city of Domino out his window, and all though it was late, the downtown area's still shone brightly.
"Wow, what a great view." Tea said quietly to herself. Seto looked at Tea and saw how beautiful she was in the moonlight.
Yes, what a great view it is.
Author thank you's and notes-
The Kurisutaru- Thanks for showing me that error I made. I try to get them all, but I always miss like ten of them.
Starian Princess- Noa is mentally as old as Seto, but he didn't age in the virtual place, so now he looks as old as Mokuba.
Kris Bluesummers- Always glad to cheer someone up.
- Well, I try to be funny, but I never know how its going to work, so I usually just try to slip it in there casually.
Kokuei- I live in Florida too!
And thank you to the rest of you!
