Tears of an Angel – By Leiko and Tikaru

Leiko: Hey guys! I'm starting to get back on the ball with updating a lot. I've been updating my xanga lately too.

Chapter7 – By Leiko

After a few moments of staring at each other, the blush slowly creeping onto Leiko's cheeks, and a slight… er… make-out fest (a/n: n.n;), Seto and Leiko were pulled from their activities with the crashing sound in the room next door.

"What was that..?" Leiko said, still positioned in Seto's lap, staring at the wall across the room, Tikaru and Ryou's room on the other side. She could feel Seto slightly shrug his shoulders beneath his hands as he mumbled a quiet, "I don't know…"

"Maybe I should go check on her..."

"Ryou'll do it…" He droaned, obviously annoyed with the interruption.

"Yeah, but…." She sighed and turned back to look at Seto, as he stared at her with his usually cold azure eyes, that were now soft and warm, showing an extent of care. He gave her a look that caused her to melt from the inside out and she glared at him, shaking her head with a lopsided smile. "I hate you…."

He simply smirked. "I know…"

Ryou stood outside the door for a moment, listening as the door was locked from the inside. He sighed and walked back downstairs again. Trying to concentrate on something other than the girl in the room, the way she was acting worrying him. It was probably nothing. Maybe it's that time of the month…He coughed as that thought occurred to him and looked around the room quickly as if there were someone unseen there who could read his thoughts.

"Yami! Stop! Hehe, that tickles!"

(a/n: falls over laughing XD)

Ryou looked up the staircase as he stood at the bottom, Yuugi's voice breaking his thoughts. He sighed, wondering how long it would take before Seto got tired of the two's constant… uh.. activities… and how long it would take for him to throw them out to bother someone else. He shook his head and sat down on the couch, not knowing what to do for a moment, his thoughts clear. Slowly, he raked his brain for something to think about when he wandered back to Tikaru. Rubbing his temples, the headache he felt coming on, now blowing full force, he wondered what he could do to make her feel any better, or get her to talk to him.

He probably would have already had this figured out, if he had been in the situation often, but this had never happened before, and she had never really acted this way before. Yes, this would certainly be a challenge to figure out.

"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING HOMOS! KEEP YOUR FUCKING SEXUAL ACTIVITIES ON MUTE!" Seto's voice screamed from upstairs, the pounding of his fist against, what Ryou guessed, was the wall separating Yuugi and Yami's room from Leiko and Seto's.

"Seto! Be nice!" Ryou heard Leiko say as she opened the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Seto snapped.

Looking up the staircase, Ryou smiled at Leiko's face, giving Seto her signature glare. "Downstairs. What's it look like, you retard?" Then she gave, what he guessed, Seto's scowling face a million-watt smile before coming downstairs, Seto striding behind her, mumbling something under her breath that sounded a lot like 'Stupid homos… Morons… Idiots…'

"Hey, Ryou. How's it hangin'?" Leiko asked, plopping down on the couch beside the white haired boy. He smiled and shrugged.

"Good, I suppose."

"You suppose? Well, supposing is never good… Is it Seto..?"
Silence.
"SETO!"
Seto jumped slightly, quickly covering it up with a glare. Leiko sighed and shook her head. "You're such an idiot…" She said, looking up at him through her eyelashes with a smirk. She got the response she wanted. Seto simply huffed and walked off into the kitchen, pretending to dig through the fridge for something. Leiko turned back to Ryou and grinned. "Anyways! So... What's the matter..?

"Nothing too much. Tikaru's just worrying me a bit…"

"Hmm…" Leiko scratched her chin Sherlock Holmes style and nodded. "Yeah. She's a little out of it, I think. Maybe you should just give her some space."

"Yes. I guess I really don't have a choice."
"Whaddya mean?"

"She locked the door to the bedroom." He replied, smiling as he raked a hand through his long white hair. Leiko's lips formed a silent 'Oh.' And her brows furrowed together in concentration.

"Why would she do that..?"

Ryou shrugged. "Beats me…"

"Oh, well… Maybe It's just a one day thing…" Leiko said, more to herself than the boy beside her. She stood up and smiled. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure she'll be fine tomorrow. 'Kay?"

"Alright. Whatever you say."

"Okay!" She watched as he stood up, walking upstairs , she guessed, to use the bathroom. Then she strode into the kitchen, punching Seto gently in the arm as she peered with great difficulty over his shoulder into the freezer. He looked at her, raising an eyebrow and she planted a kiss on the back of his neck before striding over to the cupboard to get the cereal box.

"Why did you do that?" Seto asked, rubbing the back of his neck, as if the kiss had transferred a deadly disease, as he turned to look at her, closing the freezer door. She looked over her shoulder and grinned.

"Because I wanted to… Besides," She turned back to her bowl and poured the cereal as she mumbled, "I couldn't reach your cheek." It was obvious that she wasn't exactly proud of the fact that Seto was nearly a foot taller than her.

Smirking, Seto shook his head and walked over, giving her a pat on the head, after being sure that no one was looking. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "I can reach yours just fine…" And then he left.

Leiko: HURRAY! RELITIVELY SHORT CHAPTER HERE PEOPLE:dances: BE PROUD! PROUD I TELL YOU!
