I'm Okay,

Part Two,

By Winterwing3000

Waiting patiently, the guys leaned back on the nearby lockers. As Téa stepped into the opened metal doors and proceed to her cubby without noticing them, they nodded to each other and waited until she was done. Removing her shoes, Téa felt the hair on the back of her neck prick up. Finally, closing it, she saw Joey on her right and Tristan her left. When Téa turned around, Yugi was behind her. She wasn't surprised that they were there because they do that every morning.

"Morning Téa." Yugi greeted her gently. Giving her friend a small smile, Téa responded with a good morning. Joey stuck his hands in his pockets and asked casually like it happened everyday. "So, how's your life at Kaiba's mansion?" Startled a bit, the brunette girl looked over to her blond friend and stuttered, "What do you mean Joey?"

"Come on Téa, it's okay. We understand perfectly, well not that perfectly but we know the basics. So why you livin' with him?" Tristan asked persistently. Sighing, Téa looked around and said, "I'll tell you at lunch." And took off into the classroom. The guys followed her and exchanged a look of suspicion.

When the bell signaled that they were free to go to lunch, Yugi, Joey and Tristan circled her desk. The girl sat there with her lunch out and a catalogue. Taking out their own lunch, Joey piped up with a mouthful of turkey, "So ain't ya gonna tell us?" Looking up, Téa sighed tiredly and pushed aside the book. "Okay… what do you want to know?" She asked as she looked down to her lunch in her hands.

"Why don't you start from the beginning Téa?" Yugi asked concernedly. Taking a deep breath, Téa glanced over to a few desks behind her. Seto was sitting there idly typing on his laptop, not caring for whatever was happening around him. She was nervous about this, but also ready. The CEO had forewarned her about this happening last night.

It was near ten when Téa heard a knock from the door. "Give me a sec!" She shouted to the person outside. The dancer was changing into her pajamas, so she swiftly pulled on the tank top and baggy cotton pants. Composing herself, Téa walked to the door and peaked out into the dimly lit hall.

A pair of blue eyes blinked outside and instantly, Téa let the person in. Seto came into her room and stood by the wall next to the door. Closing it, she looked at him and asked, "What is it?" "They know that you're living here." Seto stated out straightforwardly. Her blue eyes widened in shock and she staggered a bit.

"How did they—?" Téa started to ask, but Seto cut her off, know the answer before hand. "Mokuba." Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Has Mokuba been meeting and telling them everything that happened to her? No, he couldn't have. The younger Kaiba is still young and modest. "Oh… okay." Téa said this half to him and half to herself.

Raising an eyebrow, Seto stared at her. Looking back at him confused, she asked, "What? Is there something on my face?" Franticly, Téa felt around her face for any signs of dirt. Chuckling, Seto shook his head no and proceeded out the door. "Hey, Kaiba! Thanks!" the dancer said gratefully when he was out of her room.

Releasing a calm breath, Téa nodded and summarized what had happened the past four months in one sentence. "My mom, she kicked me out of her house and Kaiba was there, so he offered me to watch over Mokuba and I got to stay at his place."

Joey, who didn't really understand it, rubbed the back of his neck. "So ya sayin that yer livin with moneybags just ta watch ova Mokuba?" Nodding, Téa looked at her friends one by one.

Each of their reactions weren't exactly what she had expected. Téa thought Joey and Tristan would start asking her questions endlessly and Yugi, well, she hadn't thought about that.

"So Téa, why didn't you tell us earlier? We could've helped you and maybe you could've been living with us, we wouldn't mind." Yugi said.

"I know Yugi, but I didn't want to be bothersome. Joey got his hands full with his father, Tristan lives with his father and you know… Yugi and his grandpa live at a busy shop. So I just couldn't barge in like that." The dancer said, lowering her eyes.

Placing a comforting hand on his friend's shoulder, Joey sad, "It's okay Téa. Just tell us if there's any trouble wit that jerk ova there and we'll come ova and beat him up fer ya."

Agreeing with Joey, Tristan said, "Yeah we're here for ya Téa." Yugi gave his support as well by pulling his best friend into a hug.

Smiling, Téa said appreciatively, "Thanks guys." "We're always going to be with you Téa because we're friends." Yugi said.

"Hey guys, to be safe, you won't tell anyone else right?" Téa asked a little worried. Looking at her quizzically, Tristan asked the infamous question.

"Why?" Scowling, she replied with poisonous sarcasm, "All I need is more publicity, don't you think so?" The boys sweat dropped a bit before shaking their heads.

"You know that we won't tell anyone Téa." Yugi said confidently. Smiling happily, Téa said thanks.

"Thanks guys for understanding, but there's so much more that I wish I could tell you." Téa thought as she sighed mentally, Thank you too Kaiba.

"So Téa, sup wit you and him? Ya seem awfully close wit him tha past months." Joey implied. Turning beet red, Téa whacked him with her book.

"There's nothing between us!" She stammered, deepening the blush. While the blond was busy nursing his light injury on the head, Yugi read the title of the catalogue that was on her lap.

"Hey Téa, why do you have a baby name book with you?" The tri-colored boy asked. Quickly, the brunette giggled nervously and whisked it away into her bag.

"It's nothing. My cousin in China just asked me to pick out some names for her kid. She said that her husband and she couldn't pick one, so I'm doing it as a favor for them." Téa lied. She was actually flipping through it for some ideas. After all, she did have a kid; at least that's what the doctor told her.

It wasn't the greatest thing to have a child at an age like this. She knew that she and he had made a mistake too soon, even if she was graduating in five days. Almost instinctively, Téa placed a hand on her stomach.

It reminded her of the senior that she met at the hospital, Jennifer. Maybe I'll drop by today and talk with her, I haven't seen her since Friday. Téa thought as the bell for class rung.

Sneakily, Mokuba crept up to the occupier of the black leather chair in front of the blinking laptop. At the count of three, he jumped and collided with the only, Seto Kaiba. The brothers fell backwards, flipping the chair over when the wheels rolled off the red-carpeted floor. "Hi Seto! Téa looks sad so could you cheer her up for me?" The younger brother asked.

Rubbing his backbone, Seto glared gently at his brother. "Why me?"

Once upon a time there was a girl

In her early years she had to learn

How to grow up living in a war that she called home

Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm

"Because I have to go to a friend's house to do a final project for science." Mokuba said, grinning slyly like a fox. "Why don't you invite your friend over here?" Seto asked as he got up and pulled the ravened hair boy to his feet.

"Because, you'll probably scare her." "Her?" Seto said, an eyebrow rose. Nodding furiously, Mokuba bounded to the door. "You'll have to cheer her up! If not, I'm not going to forgive you!" He shouted as he skipped down the stairs.

Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face

Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place

Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room

Hoping it would be over soon

Putting his face in his palm, the brunette boy shook his head. "Great, my brother is getting little relationships with girls that are in his class. What other great new things would he encounter once he reaches high?" Seto sighed as he ran his hand through his bangs.

"Now, where is that girl that needs cheering up?" He said sarcastically to himself.

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same

And I remember how you kept me so afraid

Strength is my mother for all the love she gave

Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday

Walking around his desk, Seto got out of the room and proceeded down the lighted hallway. "Where would she be hiding?" He said as he listed the possibilities. Her room, the living room, the garden, Mokuba's room, or even his room.

When he check her room, Seto only saw her bag and the spilled CDs and cassettes from her flowery cabinet. Searching in the other rooms that he'd guessed, no room held the upset dancer. His last option was the garden or his room.

And I'm OK

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt

When it's you that help me put up these walls I've built

Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door

But then again, that would be ridiculous. Why would a girl like her go into his room? Many answers answered many of his suspicions, each unlikely from the next. But alas, he did find her in his room. She was crying silently at his desk with her arms wrapped around herself.

"Téa?" Seto asked the girl concernedly who was rocking herself.

The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more"

Daddy, don't you understand the damage that you have done

To you it's a memory, but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same

Looking up, Téa saw her employer—no friend there with an impassive expression, though his tone gave him away. She had found shelter away from the others in his room, which being the most unvisited.

Téa had found dust on the desk that she sat next to. The heavy royal navy curtains had been left unattended and a ray of light barely shone through it. "Y-yes?" She managed to reply even with her scratchy voice.

And I remember how you kept me so afraid

Strength is my mother for all the love she gave

Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday

Its not so easy to forget

Seto had a little of sympathy for the girl. She looked as if she had risen from the dead. Her soft brown hair was messy and her face was pale. Those light cerulean eyes, that he always saw through were clouded, making it look grayish sea green, were bloodshot and wet. The fragile body was trembling, holding back sobs, and her hands were wringing a cotton handkerchief.

All the lines that you left along her neck

When I was thrown against cold stairs

And every day I'm afraid to come home

In fear of what I might see there

Walking up slowly to the girl, he bent down on his knees and placed a reassuring hand on the shuddering shoulder.

"You alright?" He asked quietly. I'm definitely getting soft around her. Seto thought dryly. Sniffling, Téa shook her head. What she was just experiencing was so similar to what she felt when her beloved went back to afterlife. The pain, the sadness, the loneliness. The flashes of her were just too extreme, too overwhelming.

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same

And I remember how you kept me so afraid

Strength is my mother for all the love she gave

Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday

"I-She just died." At that, Téa broke into another pool of fresh tears. The girl drew her legs to her chest and buried her head into her arms, sobbing continuously. Confusion was written all over Seto's face as he was facing her.

"Who died?"

"'endifer 'atia." Téa's words were muffled from her clothes.

"Speak up Téa." He said hardly. Lifting her head up from her knees, Téa repeated the answer. "Jennifer Anastasia. I met her at the hospital and I talk to her daily. She was such a nice woman and now she's—." Her words were cut short when Seto unexpectedly pulled her to him.

And I'm OK

I'm OK

I'm really getting soft. He thought with a roll of his eyes. Seto laid his head on her hair and ran a hand through the brown locks. Téa was a bit stunned to be hugged by the CEO who she used to think is a cold-hearted, arrogant and selfish rich jerk.

Soon after her tears stopped, she started to blush madly. Their position was intimidating, being 'just friends'. Finally, she relaxed in his embrace and the two stayed like that for the rest of the evening.

"Time's up! Pencils down and pass your exams forward please." Their Math teacher directed as the school bell rang. Clinking of pencils dropping and shuffling of papers was the only noise in the class. As soon as the examinations were in, the chattering arose. Stacking them neatly on her desk, the teacher announced to her class that they were dismissed early today.

With joy, everyone packed their things and sped out into the quiet hall, disturbing the juniors and sophomores that were having classes on the same floor. Yugi, Joey and Tristan waited for Téa to catch up at the door.

When they were together, they exited the building and talked excitedly among each other. "We're graduatin' tamorrow! Betcha that I'm gonna be tha most handsomest guy ther!" Joey bargained with Tristan. "I bet you that he's gonna trip on the podium during the passing of the dilopmas." The brunette boy whispered to Téa.

Giggling, Téa shook her head and turned to Yugi. "You gonna be early tomorrow Yugi?" The King of Games thought for a while before shrugging. "It depends if Grandpa is willing to open the shop late. And whether if he's gonna wake up earlier than me on a Saturday." Yugi added dryly. His grandfather always stayed up late to talk with Professor Hawkins about something that Yugi didn't feel very comfortable about.

"Why?" Téa cocked her head to the side.

"I always hear him talking about Rebecca, you know, Professor Hawkins's granddaughter? Then he always said something about me in it. I have a very bad feeling about their conversations these days." He said nervously.

"Hey! Will ya both hurry up a bit? Or else tha whole place would be full!" Joey shouted from the corner of the street. Seeing that they were trailing slowly earlier from their chitchat, they ran to catch up.

"Why would there be so many people at the arcade at noon Joey?" Téa asked, "After all, it's just noon, not six."

Swinging an arm around his blond pal, Tristan joked, "Maybe he forgot the time when he was daydreaming about Mai."

Turning into a bright shade of red, Joey yelled, "I'm not thinking about her!"

"Thinking about who Joseph?" A deep feminine voice asked behind them. When the gang turned to the source of the voice, they found Mai Valentine standing directly behind Joey with a bag slung over her shoulders.

She wore a darker shade of violet type of garb and her white shoes were loose on her ankles. Yugi, Tristan and Téa looked at Mai to Joey before bursting into laughter. "Hey Joey, aren't ya gonna ask her to the prom?" At this, the Brooklyn boy became more embarrassed.

"Shut up would ya, ya ruinin' my image." Joey hissed at Tristan.

Forgetting the guys, Mai turned her attention the other female. "'Sup Téa? Have you told them?" Téa nodded before pulling the strawberry blond girl aside.

"Could you meet with me at the Princess Café at four?" Téa whispered urgently. "Why? Need more girl talk?" Mai whispered undecidedly.

"It's something like that." Téa said, glancing at the boys to see if they're eavesdropping.

Nodding, Mai said, "'Kay, I'll see you there then, but don't be late 'cause I've got to meet something at six."

"Thanks Mai." Téa smiled as Joey and Tristan stopped bickering.

"Oh yeah, Joey was about to ask you to the prom too Mai." Téa said airily, meaning to tease both of the blonds. Joey started chasing Téa around the block and left Mai with a pinkish face.

"So what's wrong? This is the second time you've asked me to talk with you, but I'm no expert at anything but I'll try to help you." Mai said as she sipped her strawberry kiwi smoothie.

Looking hesitant, Téa buried her head in her palm. "I-I don't know if I should tell you this. I know that I can't tell the guys, especially Kaiba." The older girl had an eyebrow raised, "So Kaiba's involved in this too, huh?"

Barely nodding, the latter girl swirled her straw around her ice tea.

"It's just that I'm… well," Téa lowered her voice to a squeak. "Pregnant." Mai's violet eyes widened as she nearly choked on her drink.

"Did you just say that your—pregnant girl? Because this isn't funny, you know."

Shaking her brunette head, Téa sighed tiredly. "I'm not joking Mai. I'm very serious. And I just need to tell someone about this. It's driving me half insane for the past four days without talking to anyone." Putting down her drink, Mai look curiously at her.

"So I'm not the first one to know this?" She asked.

"No, I've been talking to this old lady at the hospital and she just passed on Monday. She was like my second grandmother or something. And now…" Téa sniffled a bit before wiping away a tear that slipped out from her eye.

"Cheer up because from what I know, depression will probably kill your kid." Mai said. Cracking a small smile, the brunette nodded and breathed raggedly.

"So who's the father?" the older duelist asked anxiously. Hanging her head, Téa contemplated a while. "It's… its Kaiba's." She said. Mai's head started to whirl.

"Hold up, give me a minute." The girl held up a hand to the younger girl. "Okay first she's kicked out of her house and is employed by that boy. Now somehow she's wounded up with his kid. And if I'm not wrong, she's probably haven't told the others about being pregnant other than this lady and me." The whole chain of thought just gave her a headache.

"You didn't tell him or them did you? And so you expect me to keep this a secret, right?" Mai asked while rubbing her temples. "Yeah, in a way… but don't worry… I hope I could tell the guys before it's too late—."

"You shouldn't keep everything to yourself Téa. In the end, it would only eat you away, little by little. You should not just trust me only, but Yugi and the others too. Nonetheless, they are your friends." Mai explained, "And now you've made me giving your friend speeches." The blond said wryly.

"I guess…" Téa trailed off, not really sure whether she should or not. "Look, if you do it, it'll be better off for everyone. You, me, Kaiba, and your friends." Mai said.

"Thanks Mai, you're right. But I'll tell them when the right time comes. So did Joey ask you out when we were at the arcade?" Téa said, deciding to push her subject away. "Hm. He did." The girl chewed her straw nervously. Why is he making me feel this way? Mai thought.

"You know, Joey does like you a lot Mai, and it shows. Like during Battle City, when he caught you from the fall." Téa reminded the girl slyly.

"Shut it Téa." Mai said embarrassed. Smiling, the dancer continued to tease the duelist. "And when you were dueling Marik."

The older girl threw a balled napkin across the table and at Téa. The white piece of paper bounced off her forehead and landed in someone's drink. When the man glared angrily at everyone, they hid their faces behind the menu giggling.
