Disclaimer: "I do not own yugioh."

"Talk"

"Thoughts"

Tea entered the cafeteria and joined her friends, who chatted happily. Yugi noticed her sad face and asked her what's wrong.

"I just met serenity at my locker. She said she was watching me and would not stand for me to take away her seto. As if I want that jerk." She said angrily.

"What did he do to ya tea?" joey asked, hands balled into fists. He knew kaiba must have done something cheap to tea.

"He didn't do anything bad to me joey, so relax." Tea assured the feisty blonde. 'Except almost kissing me.'

"You don't have to worry about anything tea. Today is the last day to work on it. It's due tomorrow." Ryou said trying to brighten her mood.

"Yeah. Then you can be away from that freak and his slut." Tristen piped in. tea glanced at joey from the corner of her eyes to see a reaction but nothing.

"You're right. O guess I don't have to worry that much." She said smiling a bit.

"We also have basketball practice today. We have out final game coming up, against nerd high." Joey said. Tea sweat dropped and glanced questioningly at yugi.

"He means Nardlen High School." yugi said sighing at joey's answer.

"They are nerds yug. I can't believe they made it to the finals." Joey said, eyes wide with confusion and astonishment.

"It doesn't matter if they are walking hippos. We're gonna beat them we have never lost a game ever since we joined the team." tristen said proudly.

"I hope we don't start now, especially with me in the team." tea said worriedly. The coach never hid his displeasure for her and she knew he would blame if they lost.

"Don't worry tea." joey said, wrapping his arm around tea's head in a headlock. "You're gonna be just fine. We know you're good. The coach is just stupid."

"Thanks joey. But can you not headlock me again." She said and joey immediately released her, laughing nervously.

Tea entered the gym with tristen and joey. She spotted seto leaning against the wall, next to yami who was talking to bakura, marik and malik. Duke was nowhere to be seen. As soon as the coach spotted them, he called everyone to huddle together so he could talk to them.

"Ok team. I want you to practice hard and not underestimate the opponent. They may not have won a single game before but they came back with great force this time. So I want to say why are you not dressed in the proper attire Ms. Gardner?" he suddenly said looking a tea.

"I… I don't have the uniform sir." She said embarrassed.

"Maybe you should have asked me. Now come with me and I'll give you one. The rest of you, start practicing." Tea followed the coach into the room. the coach gave her the uniform and came out. She stayed in to change. After a while her head peeked through the door. Marik spotted it.

"Come out my dear." He said causing everyone to stop and stare at her. She blushed.

"I can't. Coach, can you please give me something else?" she asked him but he crossed his arms over his chest, looking annoyed.

"What is the problem? You have the same uniform as everyone else. So just come out and practice for your first game." Tea sighed and revealed her self. Now everyone knew why she was so hesitant. Her shirt, obviously big, had a very big neck and revealed a good portion of her breasts even though she had pulled it back. It came to her knees. It was sleeveless and showed her bra from the side. She had her arm crossed to hide it. The shorts were big as well. She had folded it many times and so it was hidden under her shirt. It seemed like she was only wearing a shirt.

The guys seemed to enjoy the view. Yami and bakura whistled loudly while marik and malik hooted. Seto smirked with his eyes traveling all over her body. Joey and tristen looked shocked. Tea thought it couldn't get any worst but then duke entered. His eyes bulged out of their sockets when he saw tea

"I thought we were just practicing for basket ball. If I knew we had entertainment, I would have been here on time." He said walking towards tea.

"Shut up duke, or I'll break your neck." Joey growled.

"Can I please have something else to wear?" tea asked the coach desperately. He nodded and they walked out of the gym again. When they returned, tea was wearing a smaller uniform. It had a small neck but barely covered her stomach. It was better then what she had before so she didn't complain. They started the practice again. It was her first time playing with them, so she tried hr best to play up to her standard. Yugi had told her how good they were so she tried to play as good as them. She had to admit she had fun. Even though they tried to peek at her stomach and breasts very time she jumped, they played good.

"Ok we're done for today. Ill see you guys later." The coach said, dismissing them. Tea went to the locker room to change. When she came out, the guys were waiting for her. Yami was the first to approach her.

"You played pretty good. Not that I expected anything less." He said smiling at her. He had a towel hanging loosely around his neck

"So, when do we fget to learn from you? I can't wait to see what you have." Bakura said smirking. Before tea could answer, joey spoke.

"You freak. She is not going near you. If you want to learn something, learn a lesson in pain from Me." he cracked his knuckles to prove his point.

"It's okay joey. They promised they wouldn't do anything stupid. I am only gonna help them in math." Tea assured joey. He was so protective, almost like a brother.

"She can't do it because she is working on the project with me." seto answered for tea. Yami looked questioningly at ea who nodded.

"We'll see you later then tea. Bye." He left with bakura and the others. Joey and tristen eyes seto suspiciously, said bye to tea and left as well. Tea turned to seto who motioned for hr to follow him. They walked into his waiting limo and left the school building.

"Hey tea. I am so glad to see you. I bought a new game. We can play after you're done." Mokuba greeted them at the door happily.

"Sure mokuba. I'll see you later so you better start practicing. I am gonna beat you like I did yesterday." She smiled ruffling his hair. He jumped in joy and ran into the living room. Tea followed seto into the study room and they started working on their project again.

"Finally. I am so glad it's done." Tea said happily. Seto just groaned. She turned to him, concern evident in her blue eyes. "Are you okay?"

"I am fine." He said, flexing his shoulder muscles.

"Did you pull a muscle or something?" he might have during the practice.

"No. I just need some rest." Why was she so worried?

"Maybe I can help." she went to stand behind him. She put her hands on his shoulders and started rubbing them. He groaned again. "Can you… can you open the top buttons of your shirt?" he gave her a weird look. She blushed realizing what he must be thinking and corrected him. "it will be easier for me to give you a message without your shirt getting in the way. Nothing else, okay." He smirked as he opened the top few buttons of his silk shirt. Tea gasped at his perfect muscular chest.

She slid her hands under the collar, and started massaging his shoulders slowly. He groaned again but not in pain. He closed his eyes and leaned back into the chair. This encouraged tea and she let her hands wander, on purpose. She hadn't forgotten what he did to her yesterday and she was angry at herself for reacting that way. But now, she was gonna get her revenge.

She slid her hands up his neck, massaging the tense muscles and then down again, slowly, and sensually. She moved her hands forward to rest on his collarbone. He didn't even open an eye so she slid them further down his chest. She rubbed his chest and slowly withdrew her hands back to the neck again, quickly. She was scared that he might stop her. But he leaned back even more. Bold, she decided to play with him even more. While she continued with her ministrations on his chest, she lowered her head and blew in his ear.

Seto relaxed under her delicate touches. She sure knew how to make a man feel better. She rubbed his tense muscles, bringing the feeling back to them. At first, he could sense her worry. He wanted to play with her but he knew if he scared her now, he wouldn't get the massage. So he just relaxed. He would get plenty of chances later. He felt her hesitant hands slid on to his chest and pull back quickly. He smiled inwardly but didn't stop her. This seemed to encourage her as she massaged his chest with bold hands. Suddenly, he felt sold air being blown into his ear, tickling his skin. His eyes snapped open at the sensation.

Tea had to try real hard to hold back a laugh at seto's reaction. He jerked his head in her direction, eyes wide and accusing. She just made an innocent face, giving him a 'what?' look. He stared at her for some seconds then closed his eyes again, indicating her to continue. Tea smiled. 'This is so much fun. And the best part is that he doesn't suspect anything.' She waited for a couple of seconds and then lowered her head to blow in his ear again. She never expected his hand to move like lightening and grab the back of her head, keeping her from moving back. He opened his eyes and turned his head to face her, lips dangerously close.

"It's not wise for the prey to mock the predator Gardner…unless it wishes to be devoured." Tea's body shuddered at the proximity of their lips. He smirked against her lips and moved back, leaving tea with a racing heart. He walked out of the room. Tea sighed followed him out of the room. But he went to his office and she went to the living room to play with mokuba.

"That's it mokuba. I am gonna leave now. I have to practice for the upcoming game." Tea put the controller down. They had played for an hour.

"What game?" mokuba also put the controller down. He had been beaten many times and wanted to leave with some dignity.

"Basketball. I am in your brother's team." tea told mokuba whose eyes widened.

"You play basketball? Cool. Seto is the captain." Seto was the captain because of his height and because of his skills that happened to be better then yami.

"I know. And you know your brother will kill me if I make his team lose. So gotta go." She got up; ready to leave when she heard a familiar voice.

"Who are you gonna practice with? The mutt and point Dexter? You will be better off playing with a chicken." Seto had finished his work and heard what she said.

"They are in the team you know. That means they aren't bad." She defended joey and tristen

"But not good either. I think I'll be your partner for today since you need the practice really bad and I can't take any chances." His confident smirk pissed tea off.

"Fine." She was gonna show him. She proved to the coach and the others that she could play. It was a loud message but maybe he was deaf.

He led her to the court and gave her mokuba's clothes. They were roughly the same size as her uniform so she didn't say anything. After they had changed, they met I the gym. Tea had a determined look in her eyes whereas seto's eyes danced with excitement and amusement. The practice began. Tea figured he was just toying with her. He kept dribbling the ball and never once tried to score. Tea just stood her ground, watching him.

"are you too scared to move tea?" he always called her by her first name when he was trying to get her angry. And it always worked. She charged at him. He smirked and didn't move an inch. When she was an arm's length away from him, he jumped and shot the ball into the basket. Her eyes widened with surprise and anger.

They played for a while, both matching nicely against each other. After an hour of intense practice, the score was tied. It would be a big accomplishment for tea to tie with seto kaiba but she knew he wasn't serious through out the game. He could have won easily but he didn't. no matter. it was his fault and he would pay with is defeat. She dribbled the ball towards the basket with amazing speed. She looked over her shoulder and saw him running towards her. This was her chance. She jumped in air, the ball in her hand, ready to shoot, when she felt a big hand rest flat against her bare stomach. Mokuba's shirt was small and so when she jumped, it showed a good part of her stomach.

The hand, belonging to seto kaiba, sensually slid over her stomach, making her gasp and miss her shot. He removed his hand and grabbed the ball. Tea turned to stare at him, eyes still wide at his bold action. He smirked and shot the ball, scoring. He didn't once apologize or even say it was an accident. He was acting as if he did it on purpose and wasn't ashamed. It pissed tea off to no extent.

"You cheater." She called after him, making him stop.

"Why do you suggest that?" he said wit an expressionless face.

"You… you…" tea wanted to say it but didn't know how to. Should she just say that he touched her or violated her? He seemed pleased with her embarrassment.

"I did what? Nothing? I thought so." He turned to walk away. Tea knew he was enjoying her discomfort.

"You just touched me," she screamed. He glared at her with cold eyes, making tea want to run, but she kept her ground.

"I believe you are letting your thoughts wander, like you let your hands wander not so long ago." a smirk crept upon his lips as he continued. "Believe me gardner, when I touch, the girl does scream, but screams something different." Tea blushed an interesting shade of red at his last remark. She figured it was his little revenge for her teasing earlier.

"You are so full of yourself. You think you are so hot, but you are not." She said, arm crossed across her chest. he walked closer to her and held her chin in his fingers. Tea tried to tear it away from his grasp but he held it firmly.

"You don't think I'm hot… tea." his warm breath hit her lips as he spoke.

"No. I don't," even though her mind and body told her otherwise.

"You got a spark Gardner. I like girls with a little spark." His fingers let her chin and caressed her cheek for a second. Then he walked away, but before exiting, he glanced at her over his shoulder and said, "By the way, you look cute when you are angry." Tea couldn't believe what he just said.

'He thinks I'm cute. Oh my God.' She was so busy imagining herself with seto that she didn't notice him enter the gym and stand behind her.

"So you don't think I am hot. Then who are you fantasizing about?" he whispered in her ear, making her jump and glare at him. He laughed and left. She let out a muffled scream of frustration and walked out of the gym.

Seto smiled at his victory. She was fun to toy with. There were many other girls he could play with but they would never fight back. She displayed enough guts to catch his attention. After taking a shower, he went downstairs expecting to find tea. But she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did gardner go?" he asked mokuba who was busy playing the game.

"Oh. She went home. Said she had a lot of work to do. I told her you could drop her off since it's raining and all but she didn't wait." Seto frowned and went to the security guard, who told him that she just left. It meant she couldn't have gotten far. He grabbed an umbrella and raced after her. He didn't know why he was going after her. She was very much capable of taking care of herself incase something bad happened. 'Then why?' he questioned himself. 'Because I don't want her to get sick. We have a very important game and it would be shame to not have her play it. She is good, maybe even better then devlin and Taylor.' Yeah, that was it. And besides, if she got sick, he wouldn't have anyone to bother anymore, at least for a while.

The rain was pouring softly but enough to drench a person easily. He spotted a figure ahead. He knew it was tea so he increased his pace. However, when he approached her, his mouth hung open. She was all drenched in the rainwater, her clothes sticking to her fragile body. He hungrily drank in the sight of her luscious body. He had to admit she was sexy. His lustful gaze traveled from her swan like neck, to her perky breasts. He licked his lips at the raindrops running down her long legs. She was just standing in the rain, eyes closed so she didn't hear him approach.

Tea felt someone grab her arm and drag her towards a shelter. She tried to scream but a hand clasped on her mouth, preventing from doing so. She struggled to get out of the person's grasp but no use. The person was obviously stronger then her. He wrapped his other arm around her waist pressing her back against his chest. He dragged her under some kind of shelter and then let her go. She quickly turned around to hit the person but stopped when she saw seto's smirking face.

"What the hell? Why did you do that? You scared the shit out of me." she wanted to strangle him for scaring her like that.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have wandered off like that." his smirk made her angrier. "And why were you just standing in the rain? Why didn't you find a shelter?"

"Why would I do that? I love rain." He made a face clearly indicating he didn't like it. "What. You don't like rain? She was amazed. How could someone hate rain?

"Why do you love it so much?" instead of answering, he asked her a question. A smiled appeared on her face.

"I love rain. I have loved it ever since I can remember loving anything. I think of it as a friendly gesture, from the sky towards the earth. Through the rain, the sky meets the earth giving hope to people like me. That we have the power to grasp success, no matter how impossible it may seem. I know it may sound crazy but I believe it. It just makes me feel better. I want to be a famous ballet dancer one day. It is a very high goal, almost as high as sky. But I know I can grasp it." Seto didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say.

"You know, maybe the reason you don't like rain is because you're already at the peak of success." She suddenly said, as if coming to a realization. He only grunted in response. "Come on. Just feel the drops fall on you. It feels ticklish." She ran out in the rain again, leaving him under the shelter.

He watched her as she spun on her heels, doing a ballet move. He hadn't seen ballet before but what he saw was absolutely beautiful. The raindrops twinkling around her dancing form, like stars, making her look like an angel. Before he knew it, his feet were carrying her towards her.

Tea had her eyes closed and danced to the music created by the rain. She imagined herself being on a stage, dancing in front of thousands of people. It was a great feeling. Suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and spun her around. She opened her eyes to gaze into ice blue eyes of seto kaiba. His face was expressionless, his eyes intense. Before she could say anything, he pressed his lips against her in a rough kiss.

Tea couldn't believe what was happening. He was kissing her. He was kissing her. He sucked on her bottom lip hungrily, urging her to participate in the kiss. When she did, he increased the intensity of the kiss. His hand grabbed the back of her head, pulling her closer to his face. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss. Seto ran his tongue on her bottom lip asking for entrance that was granted to him readily. His skilful tongue probed her mouth, making her moan. Her own tongue joined his, coaxing his mouth.

Tea's hands were locked in his hair, while his were roaming her body. His free hand slid down her body and caressed her thighs. Tea threw her head back and moaned loudly. The kiss was broken but seto wasn't satisfied yet. He attacked her chin and sucked on the sensitive flesh. Tea closed her eyes, blocking out every thing but the feel of his mouth on her skin. He licked her skin and moved lower, nipping and sucking on her neck.

Tea slid her hands from his head, onto his chest. She wanted to feel his skin but his shirt got in the way. So her slender fingers worked on the buttons and soon she achieved her goal. His marvelous body was revealed for her hands to explore. She felt every single inch of his skin, rubbing it. Fueled by her actions, seto's hands slid under her shirt and gently rubbed stomach. Her skin felt so good under his fingers.

He pulled his head back, just to see the lust ridden look on her face. Her eyes were closed shut, her hair fallen behind her. Water dripped down her body. Seto's eyes caught a drop that slid down her rosy lips. His tongue trailed its path down her neck, onto her collarbone. The drop disappeared into her shirt, right between her breasts. His tongue wasn't going to back down just yet.

Tea held onto his shoulders for dear life when she felt his tongue lick the flesh of her breasts. He sucked the visible flesh of her breasts and then dove his tongue into the valley between them. His hand under her shirt cupped her soft mound and lifted it to reveal more flesh for his hungry mouth. While he worshipped her skin with his tongue, tea only moaned and moaned. She was scared to remove her hands from his shoulders for she didn't have enough strength in her knees to support her body.

The crash of thunder opened her eyes and made her realize what was happening. Seto's mouth was on her chest, histongue licking and pleasuring her, his hand squeezing her breasts. Her own hands were on his shoulders and the finger marks on his chest told her what she had done. She gasped and pulled back. He stared at her, confused, not understanding what happened. Just a second ago, she was moaning, wanting more and more. And now, she seemed like she regretted it.

When she pulled back again, he reluctantly withdrew his hand from under her shirt. She slowly backed away, eyes showing fear. 'Why is she scared? It's not like I forced her into this. She wanted it as much as I did.' She quickly turned around and ran away, her bangs hiding her eyes so he couldn't see anything. He didn't stop her, neither did he ran after her or call her. His eyes did follow her frame as it disappeared out of sight. When it did, he closed his eyes, letting the rain engulf him.

Rain wasn't so bad after all.
