For those of you who wonder: you will find out soon enough what happened between Yugi and Tea, but not yet.... You'll have to be patient for a while...

Here are my plans from now on: each chapter will represent one day Tea stays at Seto's house, and there will be only one time jump, probably later on.

Chapter 4, enjoy.

Though it was morning, his room was dark and stifling. No one dared to enter, for invasion on privacy was the number one thing he could not stand. His eyes were still shut, yet his mind was slowly gaining consciousness, and took in the familiar sounds of far away clanking and banging coming from the amusement park. Good, they already got a head start was his first thought of the day. His sinister blue eyes opened and took in all the shadowy figures, partly hidden by the darkness. He took in a long breath, and started to stretch... that's when his muscles reminded him of the cramped and painful state they were in. He ignored them, and stiffly got up, with still a lot of difficulty and pain. Putting his feet delicately on the warm, carpeted floor, he took in another long breath of the muggy air and walked over to the blinds, and opened them, squinting at the brightness, and letting the warm sunlight flood into the room.

Standing shirtless in front of the window, he did not mind, for the room was so high up anyway. He had a perfect view of everything that went on, and could see the progress every morning he woke up. The night staff did quite a good job. He figured it would take no more then three more days work until he was finally able to finish the park, and start on the electricity. He averted his gaze from the window and looked at his laminated monthly schedule, sitting perfectly atop of his night table beside his bed. He pressed a finger against it, and slid it down until the empty squares were filled with letters. He was to be finished completely with this project by Tuesday of the following week, giving him eight days to finish off. The day after the deadline, festivities would be held from that day until the Friday. Let's hope that girl wont get in the way.

Relieving a crick in his neck, he looked at his digital clock, and gasped at the time: 9:15! He dresses quickly and decided there wasn't enough time to take a shower, and hurried out the door, down the stares, and ran right by Tea and Mokuba, who was attempting a good-morning, but stopped as his older brother swooped by in a blur of colours.

"What's up with him?" Tea asked, raising an eyebrow in Kaiba's direction.

Mokuba cautiously pointed at the antique brass clock...

"Oh..." she said, nodding her head comprehensively.

Roberto came out through the sliding doors, and caught a last glimpse of his young master run out the door and out of sight. "Ah... so the Senor is late." He said, whistling his S's "Never heard of that before...." He approached Tea, and put a thick arm around her, while leaning his head near hers and whispered "he's changed since eh... yunno... what happened yesterday..."

Tea blushed slightly. That was the last thing she wanted to be reminded of. Roberto saw the uneasy look on her face, and laughed hardily "Don't worry too much! It was a joke!" he said, waving his hands around. "Come, I make you breakfast. You coming too, Mokuba?"

"Yea, wait up! I'm coming!"

The weather was warm... no; hot... even scorching hot was an understatement. He worked hard for the past few hours without a meal to work it from. His throat was dry, his stomach grumbled, and sweat trickled down his face, back and arms. He had an urge to take off his shirt for some time, but his free-spirited abilities were lost amongst composure, and image... and what if... she came along.... That bratty brunet has already walked in on him, and the last thing he wanted was her to see him shirtless, unless at the pools.

"Sir?" someone called up to him. "We finished the mechanical swings, and another roller coaster. How goes the waterslide?"

He looked at the blue and green slide and responded calmly "still need work... Speaking of work, what should you be doing now?" he finished with a snap.

The man jumped, and hurried towards the game tents. With a sigh, Seto started drilling a nail into the sturdy plastic, and his stomach grumbled again. His stomach literally felt empty and he longed for some food to fill him up, although this did not appear so through his arctic face.

"Kaiba!" a sharp yell suddenly pierced through his ears, causing him to jolt on the latter, and come crashing down atop of something... or someone.

His face burned a deep red with rage and anger as he looked at the fool under him (this is Kaiba's POV btw... for your information, no I do NOT think Tea's a fool, nor do I find her annoying.) His hands were clenched in tight fists, as he tried his best to calm himself down, but it didn't turn out as well as expected. "Why you annoying, little useless... GIRL!!" he said through gritted teeth until they burst open in a growl. "Isn't Mokuba supposed to be looking after you?"

"I am old enough to take care of myself, Kaiba." Tea said heatedly. "I thought you would want something to eat, since you were in such a hurry this morning... er, would you mind getting off of me?"

He snorted as he violently pushed off her. He turned his head towards the latter and said coldly "Go on, get out of here, leave me to my work."

"But, aren't you hungry at all?" she asked stubbornly, only knowing what the answer is. It's at least worth a try... she figured.

"Get out of my sight, fool! And don't interrupt me again!" He said irascibly, his temper being long gone.

"FINE!" she screeched, "I hope you starve to death!" with sheer frustration, she through the bag of food on the ground and stormed down the path cluttered with machine parts, plastic tablets, tools, nails and glass.

He sighed in relief as her harsh footsteps on the brick path became farther and farther away. His aggravated feeling was replaced with another one as he looked down at the bag, sitting temptingly on the ground blow him. His stomach growling was a reminder of how hungry he was, and he was slowly drawn in by its hypnotising smell of fresh bread.

"Master Kaiba! Watch out!" yelled one of the worker men.

He snapped back to reality, just in time to catch a loose piece of plastic coming down from the slide. He looked at it, then back up at were it came from... it was the one we was drilling in before that air headed cheerleader showed up. (Once again, I don't dislike Tea, the only reason I'm putting her down is because this is in Kaiba's point of view.) He put it back in place, and drilled it in completely. He looked back at the bag again, and turned away stubbornly, making a decision. Hmph! I don't need any help!

"I'm going to get you!" Mokuba said with a happy growl, and chased Tea around the backyard next to the pools. It was just a regular piece of land with luscious green grass, and a few dandelions popping their heads through. Although she has only been here for two days, he was quickly growing fond of her. He caught up to her, and slapped her hard on the back. "Tag! You're It!"

She was slightly winded by the impact, and clutched her knees, also because she grew tired from all that running. "Good... game..." she said between pants. "Just try not to hit so hard next time."

He chuckled sheepishly with his hand behind his head. "Sorry... So, can we continue?" he was practically jumping for joy.

Tea straightened out "Ok," she wheezed, "but only for a little longer, I won't be able to last too long."

She dashed after him, feeling the cool dusk breeze wiz through her hair, and swoop past her body. Her legs were a little tired, but she wasn't completely worn out yet. With a major push, she sprinted at him, and tackled him, then tickled his as he squirmed on the ground. She couldn't help herself but laugh as well at his innocent laughter.

"That will be enough." Said someone roughly. Their faced both directed towards the older Kaiba. It was quite visible that he has been working hard, due to the fact that his shirt was covered in sweat, his hair was all over, and his face looked red and wet.

Tea shivered at the cold in his eyes, while Mokuba whined. "Aww... come on, Seto, we were only having a little fun..."

"Enough, Mokuba!" he snapped. "Come, Roberto's waiting for us to eat." He clasped his younger brother by the arm, and yanked him up. Mokuba let out a slight yelp, but did not show any signs of pain after that.

"Tea, come on!" he yelled over his shoulder, slightly trying to resist his brother's strong tug at his arm.

"Coming!" she called, and walked after them.

Tea flopped down on the nice and warm, fluffy bed. She was starting to feel more comfortable around the house, since she and Mokuba have bonded. Things were going great... well, besides the fact that the older one was a cold jerk, and she was stuck in her uniform. She sighed happily... life here sure was better then back at home... back at home... back at home.... A sudden pain jolted throughout her body, and pierced through her heart. Her smile was turned upside-down, and painful tears leaked down her face and formed a slight puddle around her face on the bed... Oh Yugi!

Review! (and please review to my other story as well, thanks.)
