Darkness and Inspiration
Mokuba's Proposition
Kohari: I don't own YGO. Hey, does anyone think that the owners check this site out? Wouldn't that be so cool if any of our (anyone on the site) ideas got used in an episode? That would so rock! Not that I'm hoping that someone's talent scout'll give me glory. I ain't that good. I was just thinking about that possibility. Anyway, back to the fic. This is a normal point of view.
"With Seto?!"
"Yes, Tea. Please?" Mokuba pleaded. Tea's eyes were wide with shock.
"He sent you to ask me?" she asked skeptically, her eyes showing it.
"Well, no. He didn't exactly ask me," Mokuba admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head nervously. Somehow their little meeting seemed to be attracting a lot of attention. They were on the steps outside Domino Train Station, a very crowded place at the moment. Wondering looks bombarded them from every angle. After all, it's not every day you see the heir to the "Kaiba Corp. throne," as the citizens of Domino called it.
"Meaning he doesn't know about this..." Tea reasoned slowly, making sure she understood.
"Yeah," he confessed, looking at the ground. His body hung limp. It didn't seem like she'd go on a date with Kaiba now. Maybe he shouldn't've told her the truth, but he couldn't bring himself to lie to her. For some reaon, she felt somewhat like a sister to him.
Tea opened her mouth, probably to decline the offer, but Mokuba, desperate and blushing, blurted out, "Please! Say you will, Tea! You see, my brother hasn't been the same lately. All these duels...the stress from the tournament organization and clean-up...and then the losses to Yugi; it's weighing heavily on him."
Tea sighed. This sounded a little like the scenario when she was asked to aid the spirit of the millenium puzzle. It had really helped Yami out. Maybe it could really help Seto.
Mokuba kept begging, "Please. I know you like Yugi, but I'm sure if you get to know Seto, you'll learn to like him, too! Please. Just one chance. That's it." 'Oh, please let her say yes!' Mokuba prayed in his mind, silently and hopefully.
Meanwhile, a struggle was going on inside Tea's head. 'Is it that obvious that I have a crush on Yugi? How many people know? Does Yugi? And this date thing...what would Yugi say if he found out? He won't. It wouldn't matter anyway. I'm almost sure he doesn't feel the same way about me. I suppose a little outing couldn't hurt, right? The other girls at school are already glaring at me for scorning Duke. I don't think another crime on their "losers don't deserve hotties" list won't make things any worse.'
Mokuba's heart was pounding, beating fast and hard. It sounded, in his opinion, like a freight train, speeding along the tracks with a large burden. The suspense in thsi case was killing him, but he couldn't rush her.
"Sure." He let out a sigh of relief at her decision. She had no idea how much that word simplified things. He didn't know who he would turn to if she had said no. She understood what was going on, as she had been there for every duel against his brother. She didn't realize how vital she was, he saw, to getting Seto back to his old self.
"But," she cautioned, and he began to worry once again. What condition could she possibly have? Would it hurt the plan? "He has to approve of this."
"Agreed," he smiled. It hadn't been easy, but he had done it. 'Mission Accomplished,' Mokuba cheered to himself. It was time to go break the news to his big brother, and time for Tea to get home and study. A test was coming up soon, and Mokuba would hate for one of his friends to fail because of him.
"Let me know when, okay?" Tea called as she waved at him from the sidewalk. Then, she jogged home, knapsack jumping around on her back as she ran. She seemed a little more...cheery. He hoped.
How would Seto take the news? Better prepare for a storm. It was going to be a long afternoon.
Kohari: Okay. Another short chapter. Don't I suck?! How mean do I have to be? Not on purpose of course. Anyway, make sure you send some suggestions. I have some ideas for what I'm going to do, but I still want your opinions. I'm working on 20 reviews. Flames are accepted, just as long as I get 20 reviews. I spent half the night on this (not really, but I didn't pay attention to tonight's episode of YGO because of this! (YAWN!)Byes!
