Heartaches Takes Toll
By Winterwing3000
Téa's POV
After hearing that giggle, I pulled back immediately.
Kaiba was looking at the door with a scowl on his face. With a little boy's laughter filled the hallway, I felt blood rising on my cheeks.
Mokuba opened the door and had an evil smirk on. "Big brother, I bet you can't guess what I found!" he teased. The older Kaiba launched himself to his sibling when he waved the camera in his hands.
I noticed a sudden change in Kaiba's features. He was no longer cold and heartless, but was childish with determination to take the camera away from Mokuba.
Normal POV
"I can't believe that! It was sweet! I never knew that you liked Téa, Seto!" the little one shouted over his shoulder, his brother hot on his tail.
Growling, Seto lunged at his brother tackling him to the floor and swiping the camera from his grasp. He got up and switched open the back of the camera, exposing the film to the lights.
Téa knew that it was destroyed, and she felt a little sad for it. Slipping out of the room, leaving the boys to their own bickering, she absent-mindedly ran a finger across her lips. He…he kissed me... but, why? And what's this feeling in my stomach? She could still feel his mouth against hers, his long fingers grazing across her face and hand.
Shaking her head, she decided to get some homework done before tomorrow.
When she finished her meal, she ran up her room, wanting to ignore Kaiba after that little "incident" of theirs. Flashes went like a movie through her head. She didn't resist, but actually enjoyed it.
Then a pair of purple orbs looked at her, filled with sorrow. Black, red and yellow spikes were seen; the face was scrunched up into a frown. Yami…. Oh my gosh, what have I done? How can I be so… stupid? Tears brimmed on her eyes, she felt guilty. Regretting that moment, and for forgetting him.
"Never look back," we said
how was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead,
emptiness behind
Where do I go?
Her heart beat increased, her mind swirled with unwanted thoughts. Her tears slowly made their way to her jaw. How could I? Why?
And you didn't hear
all my joy through my tears
all my hopes through my fears
did you know, still I miss you somehow?
She saw Yami asking her, breaking her. "Why? Why Tea? Why did you betray me?"
Téa reached out to tell him the truth. He pulled back from her touch, looking in her eyes.
From the bottom of my broken heart
there's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
you were my first love,
you were my true love
from the first kisses to the very last rose
from the bottom of my broken heart
even through time may find me somebody new
you were my real love
I never knew love
'til there was you
from the bottom of my broken heart
"No… Yami, please listen to me. I… I didn't do it. I didn't know what to do." Her pleas were useless because Yami's eyes hardened and spat out something that she never thought would be true.
"Baby," I said,
"please stay.
Give our love a chance for one more day"
we could have worked things out
taking time is what love's all about
"You've betrayed me. Even after I left. I never thought you could go any lower Téa Gardner. I never loved you, but pitied…" Black arrows flew to her heart, shattering it into pieces. She knows that this wasn't real, but it hurts. Like glass slicing her veins.
But you put a dart
through my dreams
through my heart
and I'm back where I started again
never thought it would end
"No… I didn't, I didn't! Forgive me… Yami… please, tell me that's not true. Tell me that's not true." She was on the floor now, her hand clutching her heart. Her sobs echoed in the big room. Staggering to her bed, she slipped and fell onto the cold carpet floor. Tears spilled everywhere.
From the bottom of my broken heart

from the bottom of my broken heart.
She pounded her fist against the wooden bedstead, her bare hands cracked at every hit. Téa sobbed into the bed sheets, her words muffled. In her mind, Yami was still taunting her, dipping venom into her head.
You promised yourself
but to somebody else
and you made it so perfectly clear
still I wish you were here
"You have forgotten me… but have I? No, I kept thinking about you. Day and night. But now, you must face the consequences." A cold silky voice whispered into her ears. No! This is not you; you're not like this Yami. You're not him, stop pretending!
A chilled atmosphere landed on her when she heard his voice. "This is me Téa, the real me. I've only been nice to you because I pitied the gang."

Crying harder into the blankets, her body slumped on the floor, her hands were bleeding. The rosy droplets dripped on the white sheets, her eyes were bloodshot. She wished for an end, for him to disappear. You left me… you left me first. You said you loved me, but you left in my pain.
You promised yourself
but to somebody else
and you made it so perfectly clear
still I wish you were here
"I thought that you loved me… how can you say that after all we've been to together. As friends, and as lovers…" Téa said, remembering when they were at the museum, digging hard for his past.

Yami's expression didn't change one bit. Only his eyes turned ruby red and narrowed as he looked at his former girlfriend.
In an icy tone, he said, "I never asked for your help, Yugi did. So don't you dare bringing up the dirty past of our relationship. You've hurt me far enough…"
"Never look back," we said
how was I to know I'd miss you so?
"No! You hurt me first! You were the one that betrayed me! It was you…. It was you…"
She gave a blood shrilling scream, clinging onto her head. Suddenly, Téa's eyelids drooped and fell unconscious from all the mind pressure. Landing on the floor with a 'thud', the heartbreaking argument was forgotten.
Across the hall, Mokuba and Seto were in his office. Flipping through the channels on the digital TV, Mokuba let out a long sigh. He wished that Téa would help his brother open up more. Not just to him, but to everyone. I wonder what's keeping Seto so… cold?
Mokuba never really admits that his brother was mean towards other people; he knew very well why he acted like this.
Not really paying attention to his brother, Seto just sat there in front of his laptop analyzing some data to increase the abilities on the new Duel Disk III that he was working on. He heard a sigh and looked over the top of the screen at his younger sibling. Then his thoughts transferred to the girl living with them. Téa…
Without noticing, he blushed lightly when he remembered the kiss. It was his first, but he never knew it was so…. Fervent? His mind supplied for the blank.
His blush turned a bit darker, and tried to ignore the memory. You know you liked it very much, so don't deny it! his mind was taunting him. A growl at his throat rose in the back, and then died down as he heard a scream from the other end of the hallway.
Practically jumping up from his seat on the couch, Mokuba sped from the room like lightning. Seto was right behind him with nervous thoughts going through his head.
Throwing open the door, they saw Téa on the floor, blood seeping from her hands. Mokuba ran to her shaking her and calling her to wake up. Kneeling down, he scoped her into his arms and ran down the stairs, to the living room. Mokuba was running to the kitchen to the first aid kit.
Patting her cheek softly, Seto repeated her name getting worried by the second. Even though he didn't really show it, but his eyes did. The ebony hair boy was wrapping the gauze onto the dry blood caked hands after applying some medication.
After trying to wake her up numerous times, Seto gave up and called their personal doctor, Dr. Ashuchi.
The female doctor, assisted with the nurse, came in instantly. She told the maids to bring her to the spare room next to the kitchen. Shooing the boys out, the doctor examined Téa.
Dusting off her hands, Dr. Ashuchi talked with the nurse and the boys stood up from where they were sitting.
"How's Téa, Dr. Ashuchi? Is she gonna be alright?" Mokuba was worried for his "sister" Tea.
Smiling slightly, she looked down to him and said, "Yes, your friend is going to okay. But I noticed that she is going through mental and physical stress. Has she been acting oddly these days?" She looked at Seto with questioning looks.
He sighed in relief that Téa was ok, but stiffened with she mentioned that Téa had mental and physical stress. He knew one of the answers, but the other was hidden far away, unknown to his knowledge.
"Well, I gave her some medication and she should be waking up soon. I've also prescript some herbs and pills that she should take. I'll send it to you tonight. Good evening Mr. Kaiba." With that, both ladies left and the guys went into the room.
