Heartbreak

Ch. 2 - What Went Wrong

'Why? Why is this happening? For crying out loud, I'm a hormonal male teenage! Does she think that accidents like this couldn't happen?' These were Seto Kaiba's thoughts towards the current predicament he was in. His girlfriend, or the looks of it ex-girlfriend, had seen him in a deep kiss, with Yugi Motou's girlfriend, Tea Gardner.

Well, it was Serenity's fault anyway; she had persuaded him to give Tea the secretary job in the first place, when he was originally going to turn Tea down. After all, she was Yugi's girlfriend, who was his greatest adversary.

It had started so innocently; it had begun as an incident in his office.

Flashback

"Get in here now," came the harsh voice over the telephone. Tea scowled; if she didn't need the money, she wouldn't be working for Kaiba. She decided to finish the current paper work that was in front of her.

Five minutes later, she was in front of his office door; she knocked. "Come," came the reply. She went in. Kaiba was busy typing on his laptop, glaring at the machinery the whole time. He looked up when the door opened. "So, you finally decided to come when it suited you, did it?"

"Well excuse me, but I still have two hours worth of paper work to do, thanks to you."

"Don't complain to me about your obvious lack of aptitude."

"What!"

Ignoring her, Kaiba nodded to a stack of files. "I need these typed now for tomorrow's meeting." Tea didn't move. He looked at her. "Well?"

"If you want those typed, your just going to have to get up and give them to me."

He stood up and walked toward her. "I'm the one who gives the orders, not you"

Tea, not wanting to be intimidated, tried to stand her ground but found herself involuntarily stepping back; Kaiba just kept walking toward her. Unfortunately, Tea slipped on the newly polished wood flooring when she stepped off the carpet. She grabbed Kaiba, who was close enough, and both went tumbling. The next thing she knew, Tea was being kissed by Kaiba.

She was completely shocked; even if it was her fault, that didn't register in her mind. She felt a strange, pleasing feeling as his lips were pressed against hers; Kaiba also was shocked, but didn't deny that he was enjoying this.

He finally lifted his lips off hers, and they just stared at each other. Then, Tea began to scream. She slapped him twice, on both sides of his face. She got up, ran out of the room, and left, not caring that she left piles of paper work left undone. She was just thankful that no one had been on that floor, especially Mokuba or Serenity.

End Flashback

It was a miracle that Kaiba hadn't fired her, and both had sworn to forget about the whole incident, as if it had never happened; but, neither could forget the strange sensation they felt when Kaiba accidentally kissed Tea. Soon, Tea ended up in his office for no reason, they bumped into one another throughout the day, they even talked outside of work, were the media could get a glimpse (which thankfully, they didn't). At first, Kaiba saw this as an advantage: to use Tea to get to Yugi. But then, as it progressed, he couldn't tell the difference between his feelings for Serenity or Tea.

It then got serious and more dangerous. They had to be careful to hide these incidents from Serenity, Yugi, and Mokuba; it ws becoming full fledge affair. Late night meetings, Kaiba canceling dates with Serenity to be with Tea, and like wise with Yugi for Tea.

It had surprised Kaiba that Tea would be one to cheat on her boyfriend. She was always talking about friendship and trust. Who would have ever guessed that a good girl like her would do something so deceitful?

Neither one had expected Serenity to visit that day; Tea had stopped by his house and both were pretty sure that it was safe even with Mokuba around; his attention fully on his eating his ice cream. They had wanted to discuss what do to with the future. And then it happened so fast. Serenity had walked in on them; Kaiba and Tea had been caught off guard and didn't know what to do.

It had been a week since then. Kaiba had tried to call Serenity several times, but she never answered the phone; he didn't leave a message on the machine, or he hung up on Joey. Mokuba wouldn't look or speak to him. Tea had similar problems with Yugi.

Kaiba rubbed his forehead; just thinking about it gave him a headache, and he felt something extremely strange. Was it guilt? It couldn't be; it was Serenity's fault, even if Kaiba knew deep down that it was his, he wouldn't admit it.

He glanced at a picture frame on his desk; it was him, Mokuba and Serenity at the beach. That had been one of the happiest days he had experienced in a long time. Kaiba picked it up and hurled it across the room. He buried his head in his hands. What was he going to do?

Mokuba watched his brother from the door, thankful that he wasn't noticed. It hurt him to see Kaiba like this, but what about himself? He wanted to help his brother, but couldn't get over the fact that he had betrayed the girl that loved him. After all that Kaiba had been through, Serenity had loved him for who he was and had been patient. What went wrong?

I still think that the 1st chapter is better.

I hope you guys liked it. Kaiba's view on the whole issue, how the affair started, etc. Not many changes to it; had been inspired by a song as well, but I can't think of what it was.

About Where We Belong; I have the next chapter somewhat pictured (it's going to be on Kaiba) but I'm not happy with it. I really hope I get out of this writer's block. But it will be posted soon. Promise.

And I don't own YGH.

Reviews:

Komo Pineconeseed: Thanks for reviewing. It is sad (the saddest story that I've written yet) but my best writing so far (in my opinion).

newblue: Thanks for reviewing again. I too hope I can finish Where We Belong (the 2nd chapter is coming around; should be up very soon)

Demidevi: Here's the explanation of Kaiba's actions. My outtake on it is this: Kaiba is human, he is a teen with hormones, and this is THE Seto Kaiba who thinks he can have everything handed to him on a silver platter. Plus, he's never really has had a good relationship with anyone other than Mokuba and may easily get confused with feelings. I always strive to write the characters in character. I hope that you enjoy this chapter.

I really like reviews and opinions (in a polite manner).

Have a great day!
