Note: I decided to have the whole attacked in a park thing happen. I hope you guys like this chapter, it's very deep.
Chapter Three He saved my life
Tea was walking through the park, trying desperately to clear her head. It had been three days since her kiss with her boss, and she hadn't seen him since. The moon shimmered brilliantly in the midnight blue sky and the stars gleamed brightly around it. Tea shivered as a gust of wind rippled through the dark green grass and sent a bone rattling chill down her spine. She was now walking over a bridge in the woods section of the park, the bridge located high above a raging river. All of a sudden she was thrown onto the ground roughly. Tea cried out in fear and tried to dodge a figure that had pounced at her, but with no luck. She was now pinned to the ground, a shadowy man with his foot on her chest, a blade in his hand. Tea screamed again when he lunged at her with the blade, this time she escaped narrowly, the knife slashing through the sleeve of her shirt and landing a deep cut in her shoulder as she rolled to the other side of the bridge. She got up quickly and ignored the seering pain in her arm as her attack struck again. This time the blade missed and got stuck in a crack between two rocks, giving Tea time to run.
The bridge was long, very long, and she only made it about fifteen feet before she was slammed back down. Once again the awful person tried to plunge the knife into her heart, and once again they missed. Tea began to run yet again, the blood flow from her shoulder increasing and a cut forming on her forehead. This time she was shoved against the wall of the bridge, held in place by the attackers powerful grip. The blade glinted in the moonlight and the attacker began to bring it down for the killing blow. Tea closed her eyes, waiting for the pain, but it didn't come. The grip being held on her was gone and she heard a holler of pain. Tea opened her eyes and gasped.
There were now two figures battling on the bridge. The man whom had cut Tea was now trying to stab his attacker but the knife was caught in middair and thrown off the bridge, into the water. The shadowy people fought endlessly. Blow after blow was delivered back and forth, a lead not taken for quite awhile. Finally the newcommer kicked his opponent in the stomach and sent him hurtling a good five feet. Tea was currently wrapped in a ball against the side of the bridge, watching in pain and horror as the fight went on. The original attacker was then picked up and thrown off the bridge, plummeting down into the rushing rapids, onward to the waterfall. There was no way they could survive that fall.
A throbbing pain was jolting through Tea's body. Her shoulder felt as if it were on fire, her face was streaked with tears and it was hard to breathe. She coughed harshly, blood spraying from her mouth. The pain was overwhelming. Her sight was getting hazy, her eyes stinging fiercely. Then she saw the man whom had stopped her attacker. He wrapped her shoulder tightly in a cloth and lifted her into his arms. With what little strength Tea had, she turned her head and found herself looking into the deep sapphire eyes of Seto Kaiba. Then, everything went black.
(I'm really tempted to end the chapter here, but then it would be to short!)
Tea awoke in a huge room, laying on a king sized canopy bed, wrapped up in silk sheets and puffy comforters. She shot up quickly and felt a surge of massive pain errupt in her head. She groaned in pain and felt a soft touch gently push her back down. Tea opened her eyes and saw her savoir, Seto Kaiba. His eyes were filled to the brim with worry, his face warm and caring. Tea opened her mouth to speak but he set a finger on her lips and shook his head.
"You need your rest Tea. The nurse said that you've suffered a major amount of blood loss, and you'll feel tired and week for a few days until the lost blood reforms." Kaiba's voice was gentle and Tea felt as if she were melting. Kaiba was right too. She now realized that she felt completely drained. Her throat and mouth were dry as a dessert and her head felt as heavy as a boulder. So as a substitute of her appreciation, Tea smiled and nodded weakly. Kaiba returned her a faint smile and stood up before leaving the room with a swish of his white trench coat. Tea stared after him in amazement. So maybe he didn't hate her. Or maybe he just didn't want her to die. Yeah, that was probably it. He must've not wanted her to die. ' but doesn't that mean that he doesn't hate me?' She thought.
Kaiba was currently placing a bowl of steaming chicken and vegetable soup on a tray and thinking about what had happened that night. If he hadn't taken that walk, Tea would most likely be dead right now. Kaiba's stomach lurched at the thought of seeing a picture of his crush on the news with information like her bloody form being found at the bank of the river. Now every part of Kaiba lurched when a picture of this came into his head. You need to tell her how much you care. Tell her when you take up this food. She has to listen, she can hardly talk! The voice in his head persuaded Kaiba into the idea.
He walked upstairs to her room and set the tray on her lap, then sitting himself in the chair he had waited for Tea to wake up in.
"I brought you some food to help restore your energy." Kaiba said, picking up a spoonful of soup and bringing it up to Tea's mouth. She blushed and opened her mouth for the food, blushing because of Kaiba feeding her. When the soup was gone, Kaiba decided he had to tell her.
"Tea, I just wanted to let you know. For quite some time now, I've, well, admired you. More than that, I've had a crush on you for the longest time. I thought it came obvious that night that we kissed, and when you kissed me back, well I thought that you were okay with the fact. But then you ran off, and I was crushed. I've been thinking about you constantly ever since that day I hired you, and even more since our kiss. I truly wish that you hadn't left like that Tea. You're the only girl I've ever opened up to. The only girl that I've showed emotion to and gone into a vulnerable position around, and you ran away. Tea, you wouldn't be able to imagine how much pain that made me feel. It even made me feel like, like I shouldn't be in love. That I don't deserve it." Kaiba's eyes began to sting, and, even though he fought them as much as he could, tears began to fall down his cheeks.
Tea's heart was in her mouth as she watched Kaiba cry. She wanted with all her heart to reach up and brush those tears away, but her arms refused to move, and her throat still wouldn't allow a sound to escape it, so she couldn't speak. But what she did know was that Kaiba cared about her, and she felt boulders of guilt tumbling onto her. Now Tea's eyes began to water. She wanted so badly to tell Kaiba that she loved him, she wanted to be in his arms, to kiss him again, but her strength was no where to be found.
Mokuba's voice rang upstairs calling for his big brother.
Seto got up and took the tray with him out of the room, turning off the lights and closing the door behind him. Tea now lay in the darkness with all of that guilt flooding her, making her wish she could get up and run to the man who had just confessed his love to her. But there was no such luck to be had and she lay alone and even though she was wrapped in several warm blankets, Tea had never felt so cold in all her life.
Yay! That's two chapters written in one day! Actually three if you count that one from the other story! Wow! So how did you like? I hope you liked! Until next time! Buh Bye!
