flashback

...

Tea quickly wore the first outfit that came into her hand. It was a navy blue sleeveless shirt that showed one inche of her stomach. With that, she wore a black mini skirt. Putting on a little lip-gloss and doing her hair didn't take much time either, and before she knew it, she was done. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror. She looked attractive but not sexy. That's what she wanted.

"Ding dong." The doorbell rang. Her heart started beating like a drum. Was it Keith? Or worst, was it Seto? Only one way to find out.

She ran towards the door and with a bursting heart, opened it. It was Keith, dressed in a white dress shirt and blue pants. Tea started at him for a few seconds, not recognizing him.

"I knew I was hot, but didn't know you liked me that much." His arrogant voice was enough to assure her. The dramatic change of outfit had her fooled only for a few seconds.

"Come in." She said, gesturing him in. She had decided to invite him over for dinner instead of going out in a restaurant. She didn't trust him one bit and didn't want to go out with him. At least in her own home, she felt secure.

He stepped in and shamelessly stared at her body. Tea felt uncomfortable under his gaze. It held a glazed, distant look, which worried her.

"You look pretty sexy too, and I specially like this." His fingers touched her revealed stomach. Tea squirmed out of his reach and tried hard not to shudder.

"I already have dinner ready. I thought we could stay here, at my place." Tea said with a coy smile and guided him towards the dinning room, where a table for two had been set. Keith whistled at the set up and the food.

"I like the food. But what do you have planned for desert?" He asked seductively. Once again, Tea tried not to puke in disgust.

"I thought you might bringing it." She replied hotly. He smirked.

"I was. But then I realized that nothing could be better than what you already have. Besides, I have waited enough and I finally want a taste of it." He licked his lips, his eyes focused on her chest. Tea quickly turned away from him and sat on the chair. He followed and seated opposite her. They ate in silence, Keith commenting on her body once in a while. Tea kept her mouth shut and only forced some smiles.

Once the dinner was finished, she started gathering the dishes. When she came to pick up his plate, he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his lap.

"It's time for deserts." He said, inching closer to her lips. Tea swiftly got up, knocking over some plates in the process.

"I am waiting for it too. But let me finish cleaning first. And besides, I know a much better place." She winked and walked away.

"I don't feel like walking all the way to your bedroom. So I'll wait in the living room." Keith causally said and walked out of the room, leaving a very shocked Tea.

She didn't mean that. What exactly did Keith have in mind? This little plan of hers was spinning out of control, and she was feeling extremely worried. Maybe she should call Seto. Yes. She would call him and tell him to come, before Keith ended up raping her. She went for the phone and dialed his number, but as soon as the first bell rang, she cut it.

She couldn't do that either. What would she tell Seto if he asked her why was Keith in her house in the first place? No. She couldn't tell him. She would have to handle this situation on her own. She would have to be brave and not let Keith do much damage, since she couldn't entirely prevent the damage.

She walked into the living room with two bowls of ice cream in her hand. Keith was leisurely seated on the couch, flipping through come TV channels. He glanced up at her and was confused at the ice cream.

"Here's the dessert." Tea said, handing him one bowl. He raised an eyebrow in amusement and placed it aside.

"Why did you bring this?" He asked.

"You said you wanted dessert so I brought ice cream. This is the best dessert ever." She said innocently, like an airhead. He laughed at her "innocence" and moved closer to her.

"Your naivete makes you sexier and even more attractive." His thumb traced her bottom lip in a sensual manner. If it was Seto doing this to her, she would have kissed him breathless. But this was Keith who was doing it, and she felt nausea rise.

Much to her horror, Keith started inching closer to her lips. This time, she couldn't think of a way to get out of the messy situation. In her heart, she prayed that something would happen to get her out of this mess. Her prayers were heard and footsteps were heard outside. She abruptly pulled away from him and stared at the door. Who was outside?

"It's probably just a cat." Keith said, diverting her attention towards him again. But Tea wasn't satisfied. Her curiosity kept her eyes fixed at the window, hoping to see who had unintentionally saved her. And then she saw it… or better, him. Seto kaiba stared, no, glared at her and Keith from the window. How did he get there? Why was he there? What was he thinking?

Before Keith could see him, Tea pressed her lips against Keith's, carefully watching Seto's reaction from the corner of her eyes. Seto's eyes widened in horror and surprise at what he saw. But soon, his expression turned to hatred and betrayal. Without sparing them a second glance, he marched away from there. As soon as his face disappeared from the window, Tea pulled away from Keith.

"This is the dessert I want." Keith said and moved in to kiss her again. Tea pulled back, but he grabbed her head and pulled her forward. Tea's kiss gave him the impression that she was attracted to him. She tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. His other hand slipped under her shirt, feeling her soft skin. She gasped at his boldness and tried to slap him, but he trapped her hands between heir bodies when he pushed her down on the couch and got on top of her.

She opened her mouth to scream but Keith's tongue darted in her mouth, much to her disgust. Tears streamed down her face at her helplessness. Now she knew for sure this was a bad plan. But what could she do now? She desperately tried again to push Keith off her, but he was too strong. His hands stroked her revealed skin; casing shivers of fear run through her body. Only a miracle could save her now.

And the miracle came in form of Seto.

After watching her kiss Keith, Seto was furious. He couldn't believe his eyes. How could she have done that? What was she thinking? Then it hit him. She was thinking. She must have cooked up some crazy plan to get him away from her. What she did wrong was involving Keith in her plan.

Keith, who already harbored feelings of desire for her. Keith lusted for her, and God knows what he was doing to her now. As soon as that thought came in Seto's head, he ran back towards the house. He peeked through threw window and saw them kissing again, but he could see Tea trying to push Keith away. He ran towards the door, but it was locked. He quickly checked his pocked for a master key. Seto had designed and created it himself. It contained a computer chip that scanned the keyhole and morphed the key for the lock out of a soft and mellable material. He used it and opened the door.

By that time, Keith was on top of Tea and tears were rolling down her closed eyes. Rage consumed Seto and he punched Keith off her. Tea's eyes snapped open and she stared at him in shock. Clearly, she hadn't expected him to return. Keith was equally surprised. Before he could open his filthy mouth to say a word, Seto kicked his chin. Blood spurted from his mouth as he yelped in pain. Seto didn't give him a chance to recover and kicked him in the ribs again. Keith groaned and grabbed his stomach to shield himself from any further pain.

Tea watched as Seto mercilessly beat Keith. She knew he was furious at her as well, but was taking out all of his anger on Keith. A part of her wanted him to continue so he wouldn't be so mad at her. But a part of her knew that Keith didn't deserve all of this. Yes, even after all he did to her; she still wanted to forgive him because she was the one who was leading him on. So when Seto raised his arm to hit again, she held on to it, stopping him.

Seto sharply glared at Tea for stopping him. Why was she stopping him?

"Seto, please stop. You'll kill him." She begged. Keith seized the opportunity and ran out of the room. Seto watched him escape, then yanked his arm from Tea's grip and turned away from her. Soon, he heard sobs coming from behind him. Knowing it was her, he slowly turned towards her and found her collapsed on the floor, sobbing hysterically.

She had almost been raped and now he turned away from her.

Seto slowly kneeled beside her and lifted her chin to meet his gaze. She peeked at him from her puffy red eyes and then threw herself at him, crying. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her comfortingly.

"I'm so sorry Seto. I'm so sorry." She whispered in a shaking voice. He didn't reply, just rubbed her back in a soothing manner.

"I only wanted to help." She cried again.

They held each other for a while, until Tea calmed down a bit. Then Seto walked her towards the couch and sat down.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen." She started again.

"I know." He said.

"I thought… I wanted… but I never… Seto you have to believe me." She said and he placed a finger upon her lips, silencing her.

"I know, and I believe you. When I first saw you kiss him, I was shocked and furious. But then I realized what your true intentions might be. So I came back." Seto explained.

"Tea, I want you and nothing you do is going to change that. So I would appreciate if you don't do anything stupid like this again." He said seriously. She smiled at him and kissed him.

"How did you come here right on time Seto?" Tea asked.

"I have a sexth sense about you." He smiled and she giggled.

"Honestly Seto, tell me the truth." She said.

"I got your call, but after the first bell, you hung up. I was suspicious and worried so I quickly got here. Lucky for you, I got here in time, both times." Seto explained. She smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you Seto." Tea said, closing her eyes in content. Seto smiled fondly at her content face.

"Promise me you'd never do something so stupid like this ever again. I fear I'll lose you someday like this." He said.

"I promise I'll never do it again." She assured him and he kissed the top of her head.

"Okay." Seto said. Silence filled the air after that.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked him, watching his face.

"I'm thinking about what is going to happen now." He said and she realized what he meant. Fear crept in her heart. Seto noticed her pale face and kissed her.

"No matter what happens, I'll stand by you. I won't leave you"." Seto said. "Whatever happens, we'll face it together."
