This is Chapter 29... freaky.

Here... this is a story (Kinda) for Yami-Téa fans... remember I said Kinda.
"Oh! Where are we headed now?" Joey complained as they rode through the canyon.
"Just shut up, you mutt!" Seto snapped as Téa tightened her grip on the reigns. She limped along the side of his stallion. "How are you doing down there?" Joey made a face behind Seto's back and Serenity couldn't help but giggle. Anyone could tell by now that with Joey's constant, but humorous, complaining that he and Seto were growing to hate one another more and more. Téa grimaced then smiled as she looked up at Seto. "I'm fi—" It was a loud roar that cut her off. Everyone looked skyward and Seto eyes widen at the very sight of them. White gleamed under sunlight and nearly blinded them all. Seto looked down at Téa who cast him a glance. He nodded pulled her up onto his saddle and Yami called over to them.
"What is it?"
"Dragon's my Lord!" Téa called out as Seto kicked his horse's sides and took off at full gallop.
"Kaiba!" Yami yelled impatiently as his ex-knight took off with the woman who had been haunting his dreams since he first laid eyes on her. Giving a frustrated cry he took off after Seto and Téa.
The others followed. "What a day." Joey groaned as he snapped the reigns around his stallion.
It was such a long ride. But the chase gave him a sudden rush that he couldn't let go of. It would be something he would remember for the rest of his life. The wind blew his russet hair back from his face and he felt a shock course through his nerves making goose bumps rise up. He blinked back the wind and lowered his head. "They're so beautiful, Seto!" Téa cried out in joy. He could hear it sing through her. The look she must've had on her face. That bliss he was feeling at this moment, now coursing through her.
"Stop! Seto, stop!" She cried out, the joy in her voice gone. He tugged on the reigns, his heels digging into his stallion's ribs. His stallion reared and thumped heavy black hooves into the dirt. Seto looked ahead and felt Téa slip the map out of the pack hanging off his horse's saddle.
"Where are we?" he asked.
"We are... here." She gave him this knowing smile and he smiled back.
"What was all that about?" Téa looked behind her to see King Yami panting and trotting his horse over to them. Next were Tristan and Duke. Mokuba and Serenity and Joey.
"All right. I'm going." He slipped down from his stallion and helped Téa down as well. Téa tripped forward, right into his arms. He held her against his body for a moment, unsure what just happened.
He surrounded her with his arms and held her. She clung to him then for what seemed like an eternity. "Be careful."
"That's my name." He joked and she clung tighter to him, holding his head.
"I'm serious."
"I know, I'm sorry." He whispered, and then pulled away his lips brushing against her cheek, not intentionally and he walked over to Mokuba as Téa leaned against the horse. Yami walked over to her.
"How are you feeling?" She turned sun-lit blue eyes towards the King and gave him a weak smile.
"There's some pain."
"I have salve."
She laughed half-heartedly. "No, salve could cure this pain, my King."
"Why not?"
"I don't know." She admitted, staring over at Seto hugging his younger. He followed her gaze and cursed Seto.
"Does he... bring this pain?"
Téa thought a moment. Yes, She admitted to herself. I don't know why. It isn't a bad pain and it isn't a good pain. Somehow I'm caught in between. How can I love someone I've known for scant days? She remembered the kiss. It was just for show, to throw off the enemy who used stealth to catch them. Then that almost kiss. The one that sent her blood rushing and her heartbeat racing. The way he had looked at her shorted her breath and made her nervous and deeply in love all at one. The way he said her name did unrecognizable things to her senses. "No. I bring this pain." She lied turning from him and he countered her as Seto made his way inside the cave where the Blue-Eyes White Dragons entered. "Is there something else?"
"I want—I wish to make it go away. This pain inside you." She laughed softly, bowed her head, a curtain of brown covering her face.
"Thank you, but you can't." she turned to leave and he countered her again.
"I must admit! I've known you what hours we've spent together. But I believe that from the moment I've laid eyes on you—"
"Don't!" Téa cried, crystal blue eyes rounding. She shut her eyes tightly and shook her head. "Please! Don't!" she sobbed and covered her face with her hands. "For the longest time, I didn't believe in love." She sunk to her knees as she went on. "How can love exist on a world that took my father from me? All I wanted to do was kill Pegasus! For my father! And then I had to meet him, just a chance encounter. He was ready to aid me from a villain." Her breath caught in her throat and more tears spilled down her cheeks. "Why did it have to be him, Papa? Why?" she sobbed and cried with all her might. Yami pulled her hands down away from her face slowly, tears pooled in beautiful azure eyes.
"My lady." He breathed softly and leaned in and Téa was frozen in place, was he about to kiss her? His lips touched hers softly. Moving over the top and bottom lip. Her mouth opened and closed around his, the shadow of the horse covering them as he slipped one arm around her waist. She took a breath and pressed her lips firmly against his. The kiss grew more impatient as if they were trying to get at each other, to enter the other's soul. To be apart of one each other, to be a part of each others lives. Each others world. Suddenly her eyes flew open and she leaned back away from him, wiping tears from her face.
"No." she breathed. "No." she got to her feet and left the shelter from the world.
"Papa, help me. What's wrong with me?" she muttered as Mokuba made his way to her.
When he reached her he took her hand. "Big brother bade me to watch over you."
"Thank you, guardian." Téa replied, sniffing.
"We're you crying?" Mokuba asked and she nodded.
"I'm scared for Seto."
"Don't be scared. He'll be all right." Téa nodded and told him she thought he was right. She felt uncomfortable with the King there now. After that tantalizing kiss and her own confession of love for Seto. She didn't know what to do!
She felt a cloak drape over her shoulders. She gasped then was relieved to see Lord Devlin. "You looked cold." She nodded her thanks and looked over at Joey. Fine mists of sparkling diamonds surrounded him and he looked at peace.
"Joey!" Serenity cried out and they were all surrounding him. He was now on his knees, smiling.
"I feel, better." He touched his chest and a faint green light glowed.
"Are you healed?" Serenity wondered.
He looked up and smiled. "I think so, sis."
"Joey!" she fell into his arms and he stroked her hair gently.
LuvinAnime: Not to worry. This is not a Kisara-Seto Story... I'm not a fan either, I just really prefer Téa-Seto. There's no one else for them. Also I'm like a big supporter of so you can see pictures of Kisara there. Of course she's with Seto, in the Egyptian era.
