Dancing A Big Mistake,
By Winterwing3000
Téa was facing Seto after spinning around him two times. Cocking her head, she looked at him with a confused expression. "Aren't you gonna dance with me? It's fun!"
Raising an eyebrow, Seto looked at her as if she were crazy. "You expect me to dance? Waltzing with you once was good enough. But this? You must have lost your mind, Gardner."
Pouting, Téa stopped dancing and looked at him straight in the eyes. His eyes… they're so blue… no what am I saying? Shaking her head, Téa resumed dancing.
"Hey! Téa!" echoed throughout the dance floor. Turning her head to the stage, Téa saw a guy with brown curled hair and wearing an unbuttoned maroon shirt with black pants and matching his studs.
"Johnny Steps?" Everyone stopped when he pointed at Téa in the middle of the crowd.
"Hey, Téa! You wanna dance competition? I want that rematch from you! And this time, it ain't gonna be with that porcupine kid! Plus, I ain't pulling no funny stuff. So whatcha say?"
Blinking a few times before getting his words thru her head, Téa's face broke into a bright smile. "Sure!"
Climbing up on to the upper floor, Téa looked closely at the bottom. It looked exactly like the dance pattern at the arcade, but less advanced.
"You better get ready, cuz I've gotten better than I was back then! So be ready to lose Téa!" Johnny smirked at Tea when she took deep breaths.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the dancer with determined and bright eyes. "Well, I hope you do your best because I'm not going to be the one that's going to lose this!"
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Téa took her position when the music started. Butterfly. This sounds familiar, the song in DDR. Falling into the tempo, both dancers started to sway their body and spread their arms out.
She fanned her arms out and pulled them back into her chest. Her feet were working on their own, without necessary directions from her mind. It was as if they had their own minds and their own spirit.
I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Johnny was mimicking her moves, but with more aggression. His face was fierce like a warrior's and his body was on fire. Dancing with her isn't so bad; I guess I have talent without cheating. Téa fell into a full split, arching her back to the audience. Steps knew that he couldn't do that, so he just stuck with picking up the pace a little faster.
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Suddenly, she felt her right foot slip off the platform and thought that she was going to fall. But something inside woke up, something flaring. It made her get up, determination shone within the depths of the azurite eyes. She then knew what it was. It was her friends, their support and their encouragement.
I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai
However, even though she stayed strong, something was still missing. Someone was still missing. Who can it be? The audience? No, can't be, they're right behind me. Cheering on the both of us. Who else could it be? Yami… No, I am not going to think of him now. Right now, my destiny awaits me. My victory of dancing is right in front of me. So just concentrate on winning this Gardner!
Téa's motions matched up to Johnny's pace, maybe even faster as she attempts to push him out of her head.
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
She looks so calm one minute, the next she looks like she's going to explode. What's up with that girl? Why does she make me feel so light burdened? Her smile, how can she always smile like that in every situation that she faces? Now, she's moving like the ocean, so forceful but also very gentle at the same time. Seto was lost in thought when his eyes were set on the female dancer on stage.
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Wild cheers were heard when both competitors were dancing at the pace of the song. Guys that were up front examining Téa pulled off wolf whistles. Fainting sighs were barely heard among the loud music.
Téa focused on keeping her promise with Johnny, she started to sweat and her top was starting to stick to her body. It was clinging onto her as if holding on for dear life. The song was coming to close, so she started to whip up different combinations to spice up the crowd and her score.
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Screams were heard when the song finally ended and when a new one was there to continue the dance.
In her gaze, overflowing with sadness,
the flow of time is reflected.
Her intensely burning emotions grow distant
if she pursues white memories.
After two hours spending at the dance competition, Téa came out to be the victor of the contest. "Hey Johnny, that was fun! Thanks for asking me, I was hoping that one of my friends would have asked. See you and good luck next time. Bye!"
Her friends walked up to her, praising her as they went. Seto and Mokuba were trailing behind them.
A shining premonition runs
to the very ends of a dream that shines uncertainly
Embracing eternal life
Walking ahead to a food court, Joey suggested that they should celebrate Téa's victory. Sitting at the rectangular table, everyone took at seat. To her left were Mokuba and Yugi and her right was Duke. Joey, Mai, Tristan and Serenity sat facing them.
Looking around the table, Téa saw that Kaiba wasn't there. "Um… Mokuba, where's your brother?"
"Oh, he's over there." She followed the little boy's finger to a single booth. Cold blue eyes met warm ones.
Noone knows, noone can see
the thread of destiny.
She quietly embraces her tears in her heart, alone...
Why's he sitting there alone? There's plenty of space over here. "Hey, Tea. You there?" Joey was waving his hand in front of her face.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Téa apologized. "Sorry Joey… what did you ask?"
Letting go of a big sigh, Joey repeated himself. "I said what ya want?"
"Oh… um… sushi and sprite would do." Téa turned back to gaze at Kaiba. Wonda waz up wit Tea… she's looking at… HEY! The blonde boy started to turn red and was shaking.
"Joseph, what's wrong with you?" Mai looked over to where the duelist was looking at.
Her eyes, that have closed up her heart,
gaze down a frozen fingertip.
Chasing after an ephemeral love that soon disappears,
she wanders the world of time.
Rolling her purple eyes, Mai knew that Joey's going to go into one of those I'm-Gonna-Kick-Your-Ass modes, so she just whacked on the head and told him to get their order with Duke. After all, Mai knew how much she hates him for putting him in that dog suit.
"Ow! Mai…. Whadya do that fer?" Joey whined when she hit him. Reluctantly, he went to get their meal. Now… a little chat with little Miss Hiding Secrets. Sliding into Duke's empty seat, Mai nudged Tea in the ribs.
"Huh? Oh… Hey Mai." "Hi hon. Now would you please tell me why are you staring at the one and only Seto Kaiba?" Feeling heat rise up from her neck to her cheeks, Téa suddenly found her napkin very interesting. But still kept little glances at him and ignored all of Mai's questions.
Her smile, unknown to any, is mysterious
She lives both the past and the future
Embracing eternal life
Seto wasn't stupid; he knew that many people were looking his way. Staring them off with his icy glares, he resumed to his solitude. Lifting up a cup of punch, which is the only thing here to drink other than tea or soda, he swallowed the whole thing. Funny… it burned his throat a little.
Turning his head, he saw his little brother chatting merrily with the group around him. Something also caught his eye. Tea was looking his way when Mokuba pointed towards him. His stomach churned and his heart was doing flips. What is this feeling… it's so warm and inviting…
The day will surely come someday when you will see
the thread of destiny.
Now she quietly hides it in her heart, alone...
Taking another glass, he nervously drank it. Seto was feeling weaker by the second, trying to sort out his thoughts about this unwelcome emotion. Soon his thoughts were fuzzy and his vision blurred.
Téa, clearly seeing his expression change, stood up from her seat and hastily made an excuse to her tablemates. Walking over to him slowly, trying not to get too much attention from everyone. Placing a hand on his shoulder, she whispered, "Kaiba? Are you okay?" She heard a gruff reply, so she just backed off and went back.
In her gaze, overflowing with sadness,
the flow of time is reflected.
Embracing eternal life
Her aimless journey continues,
beyond a distant time...
Joey and Duke came back with their dinner and everyone started to eat. Several conversations started around the table. Joey, Duke and Tristan were bickering about Serenity, embarrassing the red head.
Mai was trying to talk Serenity into defending herself, which was clearly a failure since the young girl was near slipping under the table. Yugi and Mokuba were still talking about duel monsters and about the greatest cards that they've seen during duels. Téa sat there always taking her chances at looking at Seto and just fiddling with her straw inside the glass bottle of soda. This is gonna be a long night…
I open the door, and there lies eternity.
Whose voice is it, that voice calling me from afar?
Who are you, who strokes my hair?
After the clock struck ten, everyone decided to head their way home. "Hey Téa, wanna ride?" Joey drove his dad's car here since he had to pick up Mai.
"Um… no thanks. I've already got one. But thanks anyways." Téa lied swaying at bit, obviously trying to get them to leave.
"Oh, okay then. You sure?" Nodding furiously, Téa encouraged them to go. Giving her a hurt expression, Joey pretended to be hurt. "Waz da rush fer us ta go, Téa? You hate me?"
"Oh no! it's just that… well… um…."
What my flute tells of is a land of wishes,
and passing time and feelings.
I don't want any friends. (That's a lie.)
I don't even want myself (That's the truth.)
Deciding to help her out, Mai butted in the conversation. "It's so obvious that she's waiting for her boyfriend Joey. So why don't we just leave her alone with him. Now let's go. I need to be home, just in case someone robs me."
Blushing madly, Téa nodded by also tried giving the older girl a mean glare, but couldn't quite mange to from all the swirling in her head. "Oh… so who's this special guy that our Téa's dating?" Joey raised a skeptical eyebrow.
Seto gently nudged Mokuba into the car, waiting for Tea get in. "Oh… guys come on… please stop bugging me… my head hurts like hell."
Footprints in the sand are crumbling
The night is a mystery; it hides the truth
and shows gloom.
Bidden by the moon,
the night unfolds.
The guys stared at Téa oddly because of hearing Téa swearing. Knowing that now would not be a good time to continue it, Joey ushered his sister and date into the car. Yugi went home with Tristan and Duke. Now everyone left, leaving Téa alone with the Kaiba brothers
"Argh… my head feels like someone's pounding it… Can we just go now?" Sliding to her seat next to the younger boy, who was near being asleep, Téa rolled her head backwards. Shutting the door, the limo pulled out of the street and into the darkness.
Tears fall from the purple night sky above.
The sky cries on my behalf.
The crescent moon rose on the east of the highway, shining on the dark silent car. Seto's blue eyes reflected no emotion and Téa's were clouded with confusion. Looking her way, Seto saw her looking back at him.
The tension between them was high and there was a choking sensation. Slipping next to him, she laid her on his chest and snuggled closer than anyone other than Mokuba would. Both of them didn't know what fate had written, but knew that there was more to this.
I close my eyes, and there lies eternity.
Whose voice is it that whispers to me from so close?
Who are you, who strokes my cheek?
Bending slightly, Seto looked at her upside down. The bright blue eyes were dull and gray, as if someone had possessed her. They mirrored his. Without hesitation, he placed his cheek on her head and fell asleep. Soon though, the car pulled to a stop and his closest servant, José, came and took Mokuba upstairs. Seto scooped Téa in his arms and carried her to into the house. Téa stirred in her slumber and woke up to see him carrying her.
What my flute tells of is a land of wishes,
and passing time and feelings.
I don't want any friends. (That's a lie.)
I don't even want myself (That's the truth.)
A doll of sand is crumbling
Her eyes traveled up from his chest to his sharp face. Cautiously, her left hand reached up and touched the side of his face. She reached up and guided his chin down to her face. Giving him a chaste kiss on the lips, she made her way down his neck. He hissed when she nipped his flesh. Then crushing her lips with his, he bit into her lower lips. The fire inside him raged on, and he kicked open the door to his room. The wooden door locked itself when it met the doorframe.
The night is a mystery; it hides the truth
and shows gloom. Bidden by the moon,
the night unfolds.
Stars fall from the ultramarine night sky above.
The moon sings on my behalf
As the door closes, the moon poured thru his dark curtains. The wind rustled the young saplings growing around the premises. The stars and moon witnessed what had happened with the two unknown lovers.
Tears fall from the purple night sky above.
The sky cries on my behalf.
Groggily, Téa woke up with the bright sunlight shining directly at her face. Adjusting herself to her surroundings. Feeling the warm blue blanket over her exposed body, Téa knew there is something wrong about this. Suddenly her legs brushed against something warm and smooth.
Her eyes widened and looked next to her. A small gasp came out of her mouth when she saw her employer sleep peacefully. A million thoughts sped thru her head, with a million answers to each question.
Quickly, she got out of the bed and put on her discarded clothing from the floor. Turning to look at him, she closed the door and ran to her room. Locking herself in the room, she tried her best to calm down and remember what happened last night.
When she saw a little of what happened, she blushed and cried at the same time. Life was already hell for her, and now this. NO… I won't believe this. Tell this is a dream and that this didn't happen to me. Someone just tell me that this is not true! Burying herself into her pillows, Téa cried herself to sleep.
Getting into the train, Téa took a seat and just leaned back her head, closing her eyes. She had been throwing up most of the morning in a week and her appetite for some meals were lost.
Mokuba asked if she was okay and Téa just lied saying that she had a stomachache. Seto knew that she was lying, but kept quiet because he still didn't figure out how he ended up in bed naked. With a concern frown on his face, Mokuba urged her to go see a doctor. She had thought about it, and decided that it was for the best.
"Good morning, how can I help you miss?" a nurse at the front desk asked when Téa walked up to her.
"Um… I would like to make an appointment with the doctor. Could it be sometime around this afternoon around three?" Typing up the information, the nurse smiled and told her the time.
Murmuring thanks, Téa slowly walked out of the hospital, not really wanting anyone to see her there. Making her way down the steps of the hospital, her hand instinctively touched her abdomen. Could it be? Have I made a mistake? I just don't know what to do now… I just wish that… that I can't take back what I did. But I know that's not possible… what am I going to do now?

And if you still don't get it. Their drinks were SPIKED.
