Chapter Three

Chewing her lips, Tea limped away. She was tired, and much more irritated. She has always been a target of the boys. Her eyes stirred with wary as she snorted. What a waste. Well it is not her problem if they can't see she is not interested. Lurching a pathetic smirk, she advanced inside the building and located her classroom.

Walking down the hall, she sensed curious glimpse pinned on her. Somehow a peculiar mist lied in the empty air. Something changed. Yes people paid attention to her and the tip of their eyes fixed upon her face. Clusters of murmurs drew her alert as she frowned. People were muttering about her. A group hovered in front of her took a look at her, mumbled something vulgar she assumed and ran into a fit of giggle.

Tea could sense her body tense and a new wave of fury hissed inside her. Thunder drummed in her stomach as she took a control of her temper and relaxed by inhaling handful of airs. She was in no mood to fight and rouse up whatever they are grumbling about. Yes she doesn't care and she is not going to let her anger get the better of her. Though she could feel this hostile air vibrating in the hall. Escaping the feeling, she scouted in huge steps and soon was firmly seated in her next block.

A wry smile curved upon her mouth at the end of the day, she continued experiencing sideway peeks but she acted blank and kept her cool. She thought of Yugi and pondered if she should pay a visit. Maybe not, her facial look shifted to a croaked look, she is not well herself, she doubt she would be any successful comforting others, perhaps some other time.

Curling cozily near her computer, she smiled, a real smile at emails she received from her friend. Urging for her to go back and expressed how anxious they are of her. She felt warmth, and quickly typed back.

After dinner, her grin faded and a grumpy look took its place at the thought of homework. Pouting, she pushed her complain away and focused on her work. Halfway through, somehow her brain snapped empty as images of Joey and his group glued in her mind. She was troubled, flabbergasted. Sneering, she pulled the thoughts away and forced back on topic.

The next few days processed almost the same, the whole week passed by and she chirped merrily at her quiet life without any more disturbing from the new gang. The white haired guy seemed to still catch an eye on her but she knew better and ignored it. She believed she is pleased but somehow a clench of disappointment rushed in her stomach. Snorting filthily, she walked away forgetting about it.

Monday arrived, after school when Tea was walking peacefully down the street, clasping a water bottle in her hand. Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her waist with the other clamping over her mouth. She eyes went wide open as she yelped. No sound visible. The figure glided closer and its breath rattled against her neck. Disgusted she felt faint. A light faintness bubbled around her. Her eyes started dropping, as a sly smell boiled around her nose. She felt her body went numb and without much of a thought she collapsed.

Tea felt pain. She forced herself to open her eyes. Her blur vision cleared to find herself laying on the ground with pairs of eyes looking down at her.

"AHHHHH!" Shocked, she flew down and choked.

"Breath, man you are weak." Patting her shoulder, Bakura smirked.

Snatching away his clasp, her fierce eyes locked up to his. "Why am I here?" Tea asked as her memories gradually collected in her mind.

Yami placed a hand on her forehead and checked her temperature. "You passed out you know that?" He groaned, his eyes playful.

Her eyes went bleak, as she remained silent.

"You know how you always escape from us. Times there are we came closer but you only slit away." Said Yami. "We only wanted to talk."

Her eyes gleamed with fire. "So you just decided to kidnap me!"

Strangely, her fury caused Malik to grin. "No, we only planned to play some games with you, I only grabbed you and thought to bring you here. But was I surprised to find you pass out. Man you must have been tired." He smirked.

Looking away, she climbed to her feet and planned to leave.

Bakura seized her arms and intercept a foot in her path. "Not so fast, tell me? Are you afraid of us?"

By then her color has returned and she was more than annoyed to answer them.

"Quite a funny face you have there Tea." He said, emphasizing on her name.

Tea looked away without appreciation, her body stilled calm.

Yami walked to her and took a closer look at her. "Listen we are just curious why you refused to hang out, to tell you the truth, it was the first time it happened."

Now that attracted her interest. She jerked her head to meet his gaze. "You mean every single girls you met is more than willing to be with you jerks?"

Yami smiled. "Afraid so."

Malik brought up his fist and moaned. "Watch who you are calling jerks."

Her eyes penetrated on their faces as she blew a sign. "Fine so what is it you want me to do?" She fumed, flickered her eyebrow wearily.

Yami chuckled at her annoyance. "Tell you what, we make a deal. You agree to one thing we ask for and we leave you alone."

Tea pondered on the thoughts. It's not the best idea she agreed to, but it's worth a try. She nodded sternly.

Bakura stepped forward and budged in. "Okay, our deal is you hang with us for one week and see to it further. If you still think we are not worth your time, then fine."

She frowned then glared at them. "No." She rattled grimly.

They gasped at her words and deepened into a frown. Joey who had kept quiet since now was bristled and ravaged with fatigue. "What ya mean, we are not good enough for ya!"

Tea did an eye roll. "Listen, you guys think you can make one small deal and in the end get what you want? Well I'm sorry to say but that is not going to happen." She snorted and set her foot to leave.

Bakura quickly slit his hand over and caught her by the wrist. "Then how is it we do to make you hang with us?"

A cold yet slightly quizzical look smothered cross her face. "You probably can't. But I'm curious, why are you guys so eager to get to me to hang out with you guys? Why do you want me in the first place."

Yami shook his head solemnly. "We find you intruded that is all."

"I see." Tea scorned mutely.

Bakura tiptoed closer as a smirk draw on his face. "So?"

"So what?" Demanded Tea.

Escaping a sign, he smiled hotly, hint of sinister wrapped in his smirk. "So how to make you give in?" Inching closer he slide his feet barely passing by hers.

"Watch it." Tea bellowed defensively lumbering further.

Bakura grinned at her shrink body. "So what do you say?" Puckered a wink and grinned wider.

The others motioned still and stirred their eyes on them with a slight acuteness.

Tea could feel her knee buckling as he inched closer, his skin brushed against hers. "Would you mind pulling away a bit?" Tea gagged.

Bakura chuckled and shook his head mildly. "So? How? I have money." He lowered his head and his face swept by her shoulder.

Stiffening, Tea's neck clenched like a fist. "I don't care." She grumbled calmly dissembling her panics.

Casting a coy look, he placed his hand on her shoulder. "You don't? How is it then? I have more than money you know? For example, I could give you a credit card where you can spend at any store. Tickets at arcade, clothes, gifts, those cute stuff that girls like?" He pulled a funny look at the sound of that. "Interested?"

She stood motionless glaring blankly at him.

A grin hovered around his mouth as he laid his hand cross her shoulder. "Oh is that a yes? Well what else do you want, I have all the items in the world you know that? And I can certainly afford anything you ask for."

She simply glared. Flames boiled inside her as she felt her chest weight heavier. She was breathing rapidly and moaning feverishly. Her face flushed in a mottled red as her jaws clenched and unclenched. She scuffed her feet soundly letting her anger fly.

Looking croakily at her, he nudged closer as he mumbled slurred words in her ear. She was fluttered as his nose nuzzled around her neck. She hissed with cry and anger, this is way over the edge. Her eyes peeked at his face and back at the water bottle in her hand. Without any further thoughts, she gripped the bottle and jerked her head away. Glaring, she threw her hands in the air and poured the water onto him.

He stood gawking as Tea fiddled the bottle dumping all the water out. It splashed against his back as drizzles of water ran down his hair to his soaked shirt and danced unto the ground. He was soaked inside out; his hair was layered with water. His eyes flabbergasted.

Nevertheless, his hand reached out for her still. A smile somehow seeped through his dripping hair. He enjoyed it? Gulping, Tea snapped her eyes shut and leapt her hand in the air. Her palm went past his cheek as a spat sound erupted. Her eyes were on fire.

The others inched further swallowing at her action.

Tea was knocked out as she bellowed. "Who do you think you are?! Buying me with money! Am I just a thing to you! Do I have a price saying how much I worth pasted on my face. I said before and I'm going to say it again, I. Am. Not. Interested." She seethed gutturally. "You boys are downright stupid, you think you are the world and all girls is just suppose to knee before you. Well I'm definitely not fluttered and never will." Tea jeered flatly, her face stone like.

The guys glared at her as if she is nut, they were petrified in a strange way.

Water ran down his sleeve as he tugged closer and stared at her, a blank stare.

Tea braked fiercely at this. "Well take your time and let it sink in. Someday you might come to realize girls have feelings too, they are not toys in which you toy with. Think about it, but I doubt you would ever learn." Huffed bitterly, she glimpsed one more time at their rattled face and left. Turned her back and stormed away.

After a moment of queer silence, Bakura lingered a finger at his soaked shirt as he grimaced sourly.

"That girl got spunk." Yami nodded approvingly.

Bakura only glared and kept quiet. "Let's go, I need to get changed."

A grin tucked over Malik's lips. "So how was the feeling, cold I suppose."

Bakura only shot him an ingested glare and chewed his bottom lips. "Man I'm freezing."

The others pulled a mulish face at his shivering body, his arms folded around him. Shaking their head at his agitated face, they advanced toward him.

"So now wut! Shoulda we just give up?!" Joey fretted.

Yami pondered. "Well let's see about them."

Malik gleamed hotly. "Are you guys backing out before it even started to get a bit interesting?" He glimpsed at Bakura and chuckled stiffly.

Bakura blinked pointlessly and shifted around. "I don't care what you guys decide, I'm staying in." His facial look turned rueful.

Giving off a sullen shrug, Yami and Joey nodded.

"Well I'm going home." Pouted Bakura. "Achoo!"

The guys sweat dropped and followed, not entirely knocked out as him.

Pearls of tears stung in her crimson eyes as Tea trampled in the forest. She slunk unto the damp ground and muttered something vulgar. Sweats rolled down her neck, and her feet were numb, she was worn out. More so, she was lost; she departed the gang only thinking of escaping she forgot to ask for the location and the way back. And even when she did realize it, she was too sheepish to go back and beg for it. She snarled wearily and squealed out loud letting her frustration fly. After a moment of silence, she clambered back on her feet. The fire and rage in her eyes dimmed as a new sorrow rushed in its place. Twirling her fingers, she pondered a way out.

The sky darkened as the wind began picking up speed. Clusters of cloud rushed in and hide sky with a gray color. She locked her graze up and eyed the dark sky. A faint droplet splashed against her cheek and fell. She tugged out her hands and felt the presence of rain. She grunted, great this is just what she needed. She continued walking in the forest but it was quite difficult with trees intercepting and obscured her view. Following her senses, she urged her feet to go forward.

She gritted her teeth as more rain drops poured onto her body. Her hairs dampened and fell down in thick streaks. Curling her hands into a fist, she still eyed the way ahead and kept going.

After what she assumed half an hour, she began losing hope, this place is huge and packed with trees. Thinking, a streak of lightning illumined the sky as a pack of areas sparkled. Her mind snapped and she cried out. Groaning in short breath, she gulped. Wincing in pain, she sensed fear as her body tightened rigid. She was scared as she slumped her head onto the nearby tree.

Tea stared hopelessly at the roaring sky as howling sounds vibrated the empty air. Taking a hold of the barks on the tree, she steadied herself. After several violent blows, the air calmed down a bit. But still hint of thunders drummed here and there.

Tea was soaked; she felt water squashed in her sneaker and her shirt was glued to a body. Water draped down her nose bridge as she struggled to slide her eyes open with all the water crawling near them.

She was completely lost and without a clue of what to do. She felt light, and dazed. She is alone in the rain lost in this maze of trees. She chuckled hotly, and gradually dissolved into hysterical laughs. She pitied herself, rejecting all helps and now end up like this. Her mind snapped clean as she began whirling frantically spreading her flailing arms. Yes she is losing it. She gurgled a shrill cry and shrieked and then spat herself on the forehead. She whirled and twirled feeling the heat around her cheek. She felt faint; she wanted to feel faint so she doesn't have to think of way to get out of the mess.

After an hour of wondering in a daze, her mind somehow calmed a bit and she began making sense. At the same while, the weather slit away gloomily into a groggy mood but no more lightings. Tea scrunched against the tree and seated unto the dirt. And she thought. She felt her icy hands and stuffed in her pocket. Feeling the touch of a solid item, her eyes went wide with stun. She was such a moron!!! She extended her hand and looked at her cell phone. Hope collected in her mind.

Yep that is it! Review please!!! And vote too!!! Seto is coming soon! And oh yea so is Ryou! Lolz cya!
