Hello there. Quick in updating, aren't I? It's to make up for the lack in updating over the past while. Sorry I didn't update but I DID update a while ago, right? Thank you for your reviews! Replies are at the bottom! Oh and sorry Kaiba dude 101, but that thing about his house being atleast 2 hours away was kind of an expression. Sorry about that. -sweetdrop-

Chapter 6: What's wrong with me?

The next morning, Téa woke up and found herself in Yugi's bed. She looked over beside her, and Yugi was sleeping soundly, snoring quietly. She smiled, and got out of bed quickly but quietly, leaving a note for Yugi, and left quietly, not wanting to wake anyone up.

She walked along the streets, since it was early, around 6 in the morning, nobody was up yet. Her mother's funeral was tomorrow, and she wanted to get a dress for it. After all, she didn't want to look stupid at her mother's funeral.

Téa was going to be left heartbroken. Tea had lost her father first, then her mother, and now her step-brother was going to be living with Seto Kaiba. She may not ever get to see him, because by the sound of Kaiba's personality, she may not get to see him much.

Where would Téa go? Could she possibly fend for herself, let alone pay all the bills and get food for the house? She had a job, but it was only part time and there wasn't really enough money to get all the stuff she needed. She thought about selling the house, but that would leave her with no place to go.

When Téa reached home, she went upstairs into her bedroom, and looked at a picture of herself, her mom, her dad and Mokuba. They were all smiling. Téa and Mokuba were holding hands as were their mother and father. But soon, they wouldn't be anymore…

Téa almost cried at that thought, and turned her head away from the picture to look out the window. The sun was begnning to rise and birds were chirping. Téa sniffed.

This might be the last day Mokuba has the last name Gardner…his name will be Kaiba…Téa shook the thought off. Come on, Téa, get a hold of yourself, you can still see Mokuba, but just not as much as you used to, seeing as he lived with you for atleast 5 years. Isn't that enough?

Her mind said it was, her heart was breaking.

Her parents were gone, and soon so would Mokuba. Kaiba surely would never ask Téa to live with him, she knew that for a fact. Seto wasn't that nice. Wait, did I call him Seto? What has gotten into me? I'm acting like I like Kaiba…no, I cannot like Seto. There I go again, I called him Seto! "What is wrong with me?!?!?!?!?"Téa yelled. Some birds on a nearby tree flew away at her yelling. (AN: The poor birdies…XD)

Téa walked downstairs into the kitchen, and went to the drawer, and pulled out a knife. She pressed it into her skin, and blood came dripping out. (Bakura: Blood…. Marik: Blood…. AN: Shut it you two.)

"I can't do this much longer. I can't hold on. My life is going upside down. It started right when I found out that Mokuba is Kaiba's brother. Something will happen next. And I will end my life then and there."

Visions of her friends came into her head. Memories. Good, happy memories with her friends. She dropped the knife, and sank to her knees. She couldn't leave her friends, they meant the world to her. And she couldn't bear to leave Mokuba, even if he was living with Kaiba. She just couldn't. He would be heartbroken, as would she.

"I - I can't do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Téa cried. She ran up to her room, threw herself onto her bed and cried her heart out.

Mokuba woke up around 6:30 in the morning. He looked over beside him and saw Seto sleeping peacfully. He smiled and got out of bed careful as to not wake his brother up. He quietly shut the door and went into the guest room where there was a phone, to call Téa.

Mokuba dialed her number, and Téa answered. "Hello?"

"Hi, Téa,"Mokuba said sleepily on the other line.

"Oh, hey, kiddo, how was your night?"Téa asked.

"Good. The storm freaked me out but I slept with Seto and that helped."

"That's good. I was getting worried last night about you, you know,"Téa said.

"Aww, Téa, you don't need to worry about me!"Mokuba giggled.

Seto sleeping with Mokuba? Doesn't sound like the Kaiba I know…but hey…after what I saw at the park the other day, things couldn't get any weirder.

"Hey, uh - Téa?"Mokuba asked.

I guess I'll tell him when he comes home about mom…

"Yea?"

"I'm gonna go home after I say goodbye to Seto, ok?"Mokuba asked.

"Sure, whatever, kiddo,"Téa sighed.

"Téa, are you ok?"Mokuba asked, concern in his voice, along with worry.

"I'm fine, Mokuba. You go spend time with Seto now, ok?"

What is wrong with me?!?!?!?!? I called him Seto again!!!!

"Ok, Téa. Bye and I'll see you soon."

"K. Bye, Kiddo."

They both hung up.

I wonder how Mokuba will react when I tell him?Téa thought. 'If I'm not enough to comfort him then, I hope Kaiba is.

Téa heard the doorbell ring half an hour later and went down to answer it. Mokuba stood there smiling.

"Hi, Téa…"Mokuba said, rubbing his eyes.

Téa smiled, took his hand and guided him towards the living room. Blood stains were still on the floor in the kitchen, and Téa never wanted him to see that.

"Hey, Téa, where's mom?"Mokuba asked.

Téa bit her lip. The time was now to tell him the truth.

"Mokuba…our mother is dead."

There were a few minutes of silence, before Mokuba burst into tears. "How, Téa?"

Téa pulled Mokuba into her arms, and rested his head on her heart. She rubbed his back gently, telling him the story.

"Well…a police officer came to my house in the night and said that mom was in the hospital, critical condition. He said that she may not make it. I walked into her hospital room, and we said our last goodbyes and well…"

Mokuba cried harder into Téa's chest. She knew this was hard for him. Now, she and Seto were the only family that Mokuba truly had. Well, Téa was only his family by adoption. Seto was his only true family.

"T - T - T - Téa?"Mokuba sobbed.

"What is it, Mokuba?"Téa sounded heartbroken as well.

"I - I - I - I am gonna call Seto, o - o - ok?"

"Sure, go ahead, Mokuba."

Mokuba got off Téa's chest and ran into his room, shutting the door.

He called his brother and Seto answered. "Hello?"

"S - S - Seto… I - I - I — "

"Oh Mokuba, what's wrong, kiddo?"

"C - C - Can I come over and t - t - tell you?"

"Of course, kiddo. Whatever you want."

"O - O - Okay, Big b - b - brother, I - I - I'll see you soon."

"Ok, Kiddo,"he said, rather concerned. What had happened to get him all worked up like this? He left the mansion cheerful and smiling. Now he was hearbroken.

LuvinAnime: Yeah, arigatou for that! I think I will change it to Seto/Tea romance. :D ARIGATOU!!!

Nightfall2525: Well, since it's Tea/Seto, what do you think? ;)

Thanks for your reviews. Mokuba took it kinda hard, didn't he? Poor kid. Well, maybe things will end up better then they started, right? They can always hope.

Will Téa keep committing suicide, will Mokuba be able to accept the fact that their mother is gone? Will Téa's heart accept the same fact? Will Seto ever find out what's going on?
