Happy White Day
By Winterwing3000
"I'm soooo bored." Slumping in her seat, Téa looked up to the tiled ceiling. Raising an eyebrow, Mai Valentine, looked at the girl sitting across her.
Téa had asked her to talk. They've gone to the mall and did some shopping. Now they were sitting at a café for some lunch. "Look here, hon. You've asked me to come out all the way here to just say that you're bored? I could've done something better, you know."
Rubbing the back of her head gingerly, Téa laughed nervously. Getting serious, she said sorry.
Sighing, Mai slurped on her smoothie. "So… what's so important that you have to come looking for me to talk to?" Might as well tell someone. I can't always keep it in.
"Well, I… I was kicked out of the house, and suddenly Kaiba popped out of nowhere, offering me somewhere to stay. Then somehow… when we're alone, we always ending up…." Blushing, Téa stopped there.
The blonde leaned forward on her hands, waiting for the brunette to continue. "If you're not going to tell me, then I guess I have to guess. Is it hugging?" She shook her head and Mai counted down the possibilities. "Arguing? Fighting? Or is it kissing?"
Pursing her lips, her blush turned as red as a tomato. Mai knew she hit home, "So…. How's it going with you two? Hot and cold?" Slinking further down her seat Téa whined, "Mai… please."
Smirking, Mai gave a haughty laugh and started questioning poor Téa. "So have you told the guys?"
Shaking her head, Téa put her head into her arms. "I don't even know what I even feel for this guy and your just asking me if I've told guys. Mai, if I did, Joey's head is gonna be out in space. Then you won't be able to see him anymore yourself."
"You better watch your mouth, missy. Before it gets sewed up." Mai knew somehow, Joseph Wheeler had pierced himself into her heart. But she never wanted to admit it; girls have to stay strong, not falling into being the victim's prey.
"Come on Mai. It's obvious that you like Joey. How many times did he save you anyways?" Glaring at the younger girl, the blonde said, "This is about you, not me. Got that, sweet heart?"
Paying for the check, Téa looked at her watch. "Sorry Mai, I've gotta go. And everything I've told you today, don't tell the guys. I'm not ready to."
Seeing the brunette running down the street, Mai shook her head. You poor girl. You better not keep all that bottled up, or someday you'll regret it. Especially lying to the boys… but I think I can keep it a secret.
"Big brother, what are you going to get for Téa?" Mokuba ran straight into his brother. Looking down, he asked, "What for?"
Rolling his eyes, Mokuba thought. Geez… Seto, I know you're smart and all…. But sometimes you're slower than I thought. "For White Day, of course! I'm giving her a picture I painted in art class. It's her favorite card! The Magician of Faith."
Smiling one of his rare smiles, he ruffled his brother's black hair and walked into his office.
Every time I lose my self-control
It feels like I can't let you go
I'm at the point of no return
Pushing the button on the answering machine, he sat himself on his black leather chair and snapped on the matching laptop.
"You have 5 new messages." Then a long beep lingered in the vacuum room. "Message 1… Message 5… Um… hey Kaiba, probably by the time you hear this, I'll have left Domino station. I've made my mind on this. I think I'm leaving… I've found a job on the other side of town and I'll be living at a hotel. I don't want to burden you anymore with all that you've done for me. I…"
Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
This feeling I will always yearn.
"Ah, yes. We have found the right one at last. Hurry; chain her before she escapes from our grasp. Don't worry dear, your going to be coming with us. Finally, our master has been waiting for a body."
Sitting straight up at the voices of wild men, Seto listened carefully at the words. "Umm… hehe… no thanks, ah… later."
He knew she was running, he could hear her panting. "Kaiba…. I'll be at the station… if I can make it… please come quick… I… ahhhhhhhhhhhh." The cell phone line was dead.
Drifting away
I'm flying
I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing
I wanna stay right here tonight
Téa, she's in trouble… "I need to go get her." Dialing the worldwide phone connecters, he asked for the last location of where her call was. Running to his black motorcycle, he speed off to the other side of town.
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Groggily, Téa woke up. Her vision was still blurring, the room was all dark. Regaining her sense, she shouted, "Where am I?"
The voice echoed in the vast room. Looking around, she saw that she was chained onto an ancient tablet. The golden shackles locked onto her wrist, ankles, neck and waist. Then three tall figures vaporized in front of her.
They were wearing purple with sliver lining. On the hood, the eyes of Horus was embedded in it.
I was trapped inside for so very long.
How could things turn out so wrong?
You came along to save the day.
I knew that it would be okay.
My knight in shining armour came.
My life would never be the same
"Young one, you are in a warehouse. Do not worry, once it's over, then you wouldn't be needed." An Egyptian female spoke to her.
Trembling, Téa asked, "What do you need me for? And why did you chained me to this stone?"
Ignoring the girl, the men behind the Egyptian, took a step forward holding a lit candle. The woman held a knife over the burning flame. Hieroglyphics were carved onto the dagger. "Now, just hold still."
Because you're my hero.
You came to rescue me.
And now you've set me free.
There's so much that
I want to make you see.
The hot blade came in contact with her skin; it ran across from her palm to her elbow. Screaming in pain, anguish tears came out. This repeated with her legs and her other hand.
Soon, blood was flowing freely from her body. The blade stopped cutting her and slowly, her blood dripped onto the floor. The men collected her blood with a silver bowl. "Why are you doing this?" Téa managed to stay awake, even with all the blood loss.
You're my hero.
Don't ever let me go.
I just want you to know
there's so much inside,
and I want to let it show
The lady stood behind a table, candles and incense were burning in the dim warehouse. An ancient scripture was placed in front of her. She started chanting, and the men repeated something similar in the background.
"Great Spirit of the North, South, East, and West. Arise at our desperate cries. Flesh and blood calls your name. Spirits of the living grants you passage to us." She dipped her hand into Tea's blood, marking the dummy that she was holding.
And now I owe so much to you.
Is there anything that I can do?
I want to show you that I care.
When you need me I'll be there
Suddenly, great light filled the dark room. A slim undistinguishable figure stood at the entrance. "Téa, are you alright?"
Turning around, the hooded people shielded their eyes. "Who are you to disturb us?"
Walking in closer, Téa could see that it was none other than Seto Kaiba. "What are you doing with her?" his voice cold without emotion. Narrowing her eyes, the priest replied with equal bitterness. "I suggest that you mind your own business before you get hurt."
I'll hope that you don't go away.
I always wish that you would stay
"Likewise, but she is my business. So I demand you let her go before I have to force you to do so." Growling, she told the guys to attack. Posing at Seto with knives, the charged. The priestess continued chanting where she left off.
"Come back to the living world, defeat the unbearable light. Fulfill your prophecy and be reborn…." She was cut off by a scream. One of her henchman fell cold onto the floor. Blood made it's way to her feet, from the hole in the stomach where Seto had stabbed him with his own knife. The other fled from the scene, leaving the Egyptian priestess by herself.
Because you're my hero.
You came to rescue me.
And now you've set free.
There's so much that
I want to make you see
"Useless pests, I guess to get something done, you have to do it yourself." Taking out her whip from her back, she lashed it at Seto.
Jumping back in time, he grabbed a pipe and the rope tied itself onto it. Pulling it hard, the female was wheeled in and was hit directly in the head. Breathing heavily, he threw down the dead corpse and walked to Téa on the tablet.
You're my hero.
Don't ever let me go.
I just want you to know
there's so much inside,
and I want to let it show.
Opening the shackles with the key he took from the guy, he caught Téa as she fell into his arms.
Looking up weakly at him, she whispered, "You came… I was so scared… but I knew you would."
Shocked, he just stood there. Then his features soften. His mouth curled into a small smile, and his eyes were filled with a little more emotion. "Of course I came… what do you take me for?" Hugging her hard, Seto and Téa slid onto the cold floor.
Because you're my hero.
You came to rescue me.
And now you've set me free.
There's so much that
I want to make you see
Lifting her head up with a finger on her chin, they looked into each other's eyes. One's were asking for permission, the other was wanting. Slowly, their heads inched closer together. Then their mouth's locked. They just sat there holding each other, and sharing a memory.
Pulling apart due to the lack of oxygen, Téa blushed and Seto just looked at her. "Kaiba…" Falling limp in his arms, Seto became frantic. Then checking the wounds on her body, he noted that she lost a lot of blood.
You're my hero, don't ever...
Driving to the hospital on the bike with Téa in his arms, he made a silent vow. Téa, don't worry, I'll never let you get hurt again. I promise…
Stopping at front of the door, doctors came rushing out. Placing her on the stretcher, Seto watched as they pushed her to the emergency room. The nurse at the front desk gave him a slip to fill out. After waiting outside the E-room with suspense, the doctor came out with some nurses pushing Téa into a room on a stretcher.
"How's she doctor? Is she going to be okay?" Seto pressured the medic with questions.
"No worries sir, your friend only had lost a sufficient amount of blood, but she would be okay. She would recover in a time of a few hours. Now if you would excuse me, I would need to check on other patients." As the doctor left, Seto head out to her room.
Téa's POV
Walking in the darkness, I stumbled upon something that just happened only a while ago. Well, at least I think it was. I remember that Kaiba was kissing me, holding onto me like he's never going to let go.
As if he doesn't want me to disappear. I never thought it would actually happen, but it did. Now, I really know what I feel for this guy. It's so obvious. Every time I see him, I have a tingling sensation in my heart and butterflies flying in my stomach. But I just don't know if he feels the same way… what if he rejects me? What if he already likes another?
Moving into the dark
Am I runnin' to you, I still don't know
Somethin's got a hold on me
It's amazin' what I feel
Normal POV
Adjusting her eyes to the bright lights in the room, Téa sat up. The white sheets covering her pooled at her knees. She found a cord connected to the blood bag and noticed that the room was all white and clean, rather than the dark dirty warehouse.
Then it clicked. Why am I at the hospital? Did Kaiba bring me here? Then the door creaked open. Seto Kaiba stood there with some flowers. "You're awake…" Nodding her head, she motioned for him to come in.
Getting out of my room
With the feelin' I'm gonna see you soon
Come on baby don't be late
Lovin' you would be so great
Walking to the table next to her, he placed the bouquet of white roses into the vase filled with water. He sat down on the bed.
"Hi…" Téa whispered. "You feeling better? Mokuba was worried sick."
Smiling tiredly, Téa looked into his eyes. "Thanks for the flowers. Their beautiful… how did you know that I like these?"
Face to face
With your eyes in mine
They burn my soul inside
And I cannot find
"Just a lucky guess…." Kaiba said, looking away. "Um… if you don't mind me asking, what did you say before you passed out?"
Blushing crimson, she mumbled, "I…. uh… just wanted to say… thank you…?" The corner of his eyes softened and a gentle smile tugged on his lips. Taking her hands into his, he pulled out something from his pocket.
Flash in the night
It's the light shinin' from your body
Flash in the night
It's alright it kept me alive
Placing a velvet box into her hands, he gently lifted the lid off. Téa's voice gone dry and her eyes grew round. In the box, a silver chain necklace with a diamond embedded heart pendant was hanging on the chain. Taking it out, Seto unlocked it and clipped on. Sitting back down, the diamond heart swung freely on Téa's neck. Touching it with shaky hands, Téa looked up with eyes filled with tears.
"Kaiba…. I… I can't take this, it's too expensive. I don't deserve it after all that you've done for me."
Flash in the night
From the sky like a dart of silver
Flash in the night
Every time you come it's a flash in the night
About to take of the necklace, she saw his hands close upon her's. Looking up, she saw him smiling at her.
"Keep it… I want to show you how much you mean to me. Plus it's White Day, isn't it?" Crying tears of joy, Téa flung herself against him. "Arigatou…"
AN: I'm so sorry! GOMEN! ducks 6000 thrown tomatoes and banana peels I know this is short….. But I just have no idea what to type! I also know that Seto is kinda out of character! Thanks for the review! Wait…. Oh yea! PLEASE R&R!
Edit note: yuppers, I changed it! No, they're not in love, they're… uh… crushing! I guess… and this was just a mushy mushy moment! Lol!
