Tea walked into the deadly silence of her house. She hated being by herself, but with her parents always gone, she got used to it. Sure, she got lonely, but when she did she'd usually just turn the lights off, turn on a nearby lamp, and curl up with a good book.
She giggled to herself. It reminded her of a salon she had went to. "What was the name again? Oh yea, 'Curl up and Dye'." Of course is went curling hair and dying it. It was funny to Tea. But then, a lot of things were funny to her.
Tea tossed her book bag against the wall and listened as it made a sharp thud against the wall. Her eyes closed gently as she let her fingers massage her temples, easing away the pain the at crept up on her without her noticing. Her eyes snapped as one hand clutched her stomach. The other one was quickly slapped over her mouth as a sick feeling rose up in her through.
"I…I think I'm going to be sick." Before she new it her legs dashed her body up to her bathroom where she bent over the toilet. She closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable to happen. As soon as she braced herself, her stomach quickly relieved itself of it's contents that was her lunch. Gagging a bit she tried to catch her breath. She slowly got up using a washcloth to wash her face and swished some water to get the taste out of her mouth.
She sighed, her now weak body leaned on the wall for support. She had been getting really sick lately. She hoped that she wasn't coming down with something. "I've got to stop eating cafeteria food." She took a long, shabby breath, trying to get more energy to her body.
After she relaxed, she stood up, stretching her aching muscles. "Maybe…maybe I just need to get some fresh air. She nodded to herself, slowly walking down stairs. She opened the front door, not even bothering to get her coat. She took a step outside and breathed deeply. "Yea, all I need is some fresh air and I'll be just as good as new."
Tea walked slowly down the sidewalk, letting her mind drift to a world only in her head. She always did this when she was alone. Of course, she never told her friends about that. Yugi might be able to understand, but Joey and Tristen would just make fun of her and call her crazy. Yea, true friends till the end.
She gave herself a sarcastic smile for her thoughts. Not too long after her walk, her feet carried her to a place she never expected. The Kaiba mansion. Her eyes traveled up the large house. Why had she come her? There wasn't any logical explanation.
"Tea!" She spun around to see who it was who called her name. She was met with the sparkling eyes of the younger Kaiba brother.
"Mokuba?" Tea thought for a second. He must have walked from school today. But why didn't her just take a limo? Oh well, maybe he loved to walk.
The smaller boy threw his arms around Tea's waist and hugged her furiously. "I missed you so much Tea!" He buried his head into her side and tried not to cry. He learned from Seto that that was a sign of weakness, and he didn't want to seem weak in front of Tea.
Tea gently pulled Mokuba away from her, running a hand threw his messy black hair. "You better stay away from me, Mokuba." She warned, trying to fight back the urge to cough.
This statement just made the tears in his eyes sting more. "B-but why? Don't you like me anymore, Tea? What did I do to back you hate me?"
Tea's heart stung a bit. She gave him a hug and pulled back quickly, coming to her senses. "It's not that Mokuba. I could never hate you. You're like the little brother I never had. I just think I'm getting sick, and I really don't want you to catch anything. And if I did, not only would it make me feel bad, but I'd have your brother breathing down my neck in no time at all." She smiled softly, hoping her words would calm the boy in front of her. It worked.
His eyes lit up and he smiled. "Don't worry." He held up a tiny fist. "If big brother ever hurts you I'll get a hold of him!" His smile grew bigger when her saw Tea laugh.
"I know you will, Mokuba!" She giggled and patted his head.

A shadow watched from far away. He was lucky to be in hearing distance. The shadow, belonged to no other then Seto Kaiba himself. He growled to himself. This was not how his plan was supposed to go. She was supposed to fall into HIS trap! Not the other way around.
His body tingled as he remembered the contact their bodies had made when her caught her. And she was starting to get sick too. He could help but feel sorry for her. In a way he was almost worried.
Wait? Him? The great Seto Kaiba, worried? Never. Then a thought struck him. The contact they made…great! Now he was probably going to get sick! His work could NOT afford this! Damnit! That woman had him trapped no matter which was he went!
"Now…" He growled low to himself. "I know why I never bothered with girls before." But he couldn't help but admit, in the far back of his mind, that this little game was fun.
