Chapter five: Curious?

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

"Thanks Tea" Yugi said sincerely

"For what?" Tea asked

"Of course! Being the one who bought all the food, even though we were the ones who invited you" Tristan said. After being mobbed in school, Tea was invited by the guys, Yugi, Tristan and Joey unfortunately Ryou left to practice with his 'band'. The four of them went to the park and Tea offered to buy all the food even though they refused although a slight hesitation coming from Joey but still she insisted

"It's okay guys, it's the least I could do for saving me this day" Tea said truthfully

"No prob, Tea we'll be ya bodyguards from now on" Joey said

"Thanks Joey, but I really do hope this would all die down" Tea replied.

oooooooooo

After the food trip fest at the park Tea decided to call it a day and go home. The gang said their goodbyes after cleaning the mess and went their separate ways. When Tea arrived at the Gardner Compound after parking her car in the garage she instantly got out 'I'm so tired' Tea sighed lazily. When she was in the house she was hearing noises coming from the basement. She followed the 'noise' which she now realized was music she could hear the song clearly now…

Let me know if I'm doing this right…

Let me know if my grips too tight…

Let me know if I can stay all of my life…

Let me know if dreams can't come true…

Let me know if this one's yours too…

Coz I see it… Ohhh…

And I feel it… right here…

"Hey sis!" Zechs said and pulled Tea back from her dreamy state

"H…hey guys!... great song" Tea said slightly embarrassed

"Thanks it's called Gemini" Zechs replied

"Oh! Tea, meet John and Serenity" Mokuba introduced

"Hey! So you're Serenity I've heard so much about you from the guys" Tea said shaking Serenity and John's hand

"Same here, Zechs talks a lot about you" Serenity replied cheerfully

"I never thought Zechs' sister would be very pretty" John suddenly said holding Tea's hand and was about to kiss it when Zechs jumped in the middle and stopped it

"Whoops! No,no.man not my Sis, she's not that kind of girl" Zechs said frankly to John

"Yeah John, besides don't you have a girlfriend already!" Ryou said

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry Tea" John said truthfully Tea just smiled and ruffled his hair

"It's alright, by the way guys before you go home help yourselves to dinner okay" Tea said and was about to leave

"Are you joining us sis?" Zechs asked

"Maybe not bro, I ate a lot this afternoon and I'm so tired okay… goodnight guys" Tea said and left. After replying to his sister Zechs turned to his friends and said

"Dinner anyone?"

oooooooooo

"Mmmm…" Tea stirred in her sleep and suddenly was wide awake

"Huh?... What time is it?" She asked no one and looked her wall clock

"it's still 9pm" Tea said and got out of bed she was thirsty. When she was downstairs she heard noises in the living room as she passed by

"Zechs? Mokuba? You're still here?" Tea asked seeing Mokuba and Zechs squatting on the floor playing video games

"Hey sis, you're awake, yeah he's still here coz Kaiba gonna pick him up" Zechs answered for Mokuba

"Yeah and he'll be here soon" Mokuba assured her

"Okay, I'll be in the kitchen if you guys need anything" Tea said and headed for the kitchen but when she passed the front door the door bell rang. Seeing that the volume of the tv was too loud for the boys to hear the bell she turned on her heel and answered the door oblivious to the fact that Seto Kaiba was on the other side…

oooooooooo

'So, this is Gardner's home…' Kaiba thought ringing the door bell and waiting for someone to answer unfortunately he was not a patient man 'How long are they planning to keep me wait…' his thoughts were stopped when he saw Tea clad on what he thinks was her sleeping attire she was wearing a pink spaghetti top and loose pajamas, her hair was down and a bit messy but Kaiba thought she was…

'Adorable… what? No, no, No way!'

"Kaiba are you alright?" he heard Tea and quickly reverted his attention

"I'm perfectly fine Gardner, where is my brother?" he asked direct to the point

"He's in the living room playing video games. You can come in and call him yourself" Tea offered Kaiba raised and eyebrow in curiosity but went in when Tea took a step back

"Follow me" Tea said and led him to the living room and Kaiba saw his brother playing merrily with Zechs. Tea cleared her throat and caught the two's attention

"Hey big brother!" Mokuba greeted and stood up to gather his things. Then Tea turned her attention to Kaiba and said

"Since you're already in my house… Can I offer you anything to drink Kaiba?" Tea said surprised at her own words

"Why the sudden hospitality Gardner?..." Kaiba asked suspiciously

"I was not raised to disrespect… 'guests' Kaiba, even though I'm tempted to" Tea retorted before Kaiba could reply Mokuba suddenly popped out of nowhere and dragged Kaiba towards the front door saying

"Let's go big brother!... bye Zechs, Tea see you guys tomorrow!"

oooooooooo

"Hey Bro!" Mokuba greeted seeing his best friend enter the classroom

"Hey!" Zechs replied plopping down in his seat beside Mokuba

"Listen bro… we didn't finish our practice and we have a lot to cover up" Mokuba explained

"And your point is?" Zechs asked knowing where the conversation was leading to

"Well… I was wondering if… we could practice at your place again?" Mokuba asked sheepishly

"What? I thought that was only a one time deal! What about John's shop?" Zechs asked

"That hormone-driven maniac was caught by his mother using the store as a motel!" Mokuba said trying to control his voice

"What? Whoa! I never thought he'd go that far… we'll bro all I can suggest is, we can practice at my place during Tuesdays and Thursdays since Nana is always out at that time" Zechs explained

"Okay then…" he stopped to think "Wait!" he suddenly said and started to dig in his back pack looking for something "Aha! Got it… hmmm… Yes! I was right!" He said triumphantly checking his organizer

"What? And What's with the organizer?" Zechs asked

"We'll this is the practice time that I am suggesting… Monday, we won't have practice Tuesdays and Thursdays practice at your place and Wednesdays and Fridays practice at my place and during Saturdays we'll see which house is free… is it okay bro?" Mokuba asked

"You're a genius bro! that's great!" Zechs said high-fiving with Mokuba.

oooooooooo

During the next few days Zechs and Mokuba followed their schedule but unfortunately two extremely busy teens got involved and they were not happy about it because during Wednesday and Friday night Tea visited the Kaiba Mansion to pick up Zechs and it seemed to her that the butler was off during those days since she always had the unfortunate privilege to share a non-friendly conversation with the owner of the house, Seto Kaiba is one of the teens who also got caught up in the schedule but in his case he visits the Gardner compound every Tuesday and Thursday night and it seemed to him that fate was playing with him coz every time he rings the door bell the same girl opens the door for him and they would pick-up the non- friendly conversation they left off at his mansion. This sort of thing became a daily routine for them and both were unconsciously enjoying each others company even though they spend every night bickering at each other. But one night…

Seto Kaiba arrived in the Gardner Compound and had rung the doorbell, he was ready for anything Tea would throw at him, but to his surprise Zechs was the one who answered the door he stood there not moving

"Hey Kaiba, Can Mokuba stay a little longer? Were almost finish and we just need a few more minutes" Zechs explained "If you're looking for sis, she's upstairs in her room she has a fever… so is it okay Kaiba?" Zechs asked again

"Fine" he replied simply his thoughts occupied

"Thanks Kaiba… you can look around if you like, to occupy yourself" Zechs suggested and left Kaiba alone in the main foyer. Kaiba sighed and started to move around the house it was very unlike him to be doing that kind of thing but what startled him was when he realized that he was already upstairs and in front of a white door curious of what was behind it, he slowly turned the knob and opened the door just enough to let his head through he took a peak, inside was regular sized bed room and filled with everything a bedroom should have but what got his attention was the four-poster bed in the middle specifically the person residing on the bed who was sound asleep. He didn't know what, but something urged him to go in, and he suddenly found himself doing so, curious of who was the person sleeping, and something was also pulling him towards the sleeping form, he walked silently towards the bed and when he was already beside it, his heart stopped beating. Apparently the said sleeping form was Tea, she was sound asleep in her bed with her arms stretched at the sides of the bed and her head was facing against the light and in this case away from Kaiba, her hair was scattered all over the pillow she was laying on, he had found it really hard resist touching her especially her flushed cheeks because of the fever

'She looks like an angel, doesn't she?' the voice in his interrupted and brought him back to reality

"Shut up!" he suddenly said which caused Tea to stir in her sleep with that he quickly walked towards the door and made a quick exit before Tea could awaken. He sighed in relief when he was out and quickly walked towards the stairway before his brother or worse Tea's brother find out where he went. When he was descending the stairs he saw his brother by the open front door talking with Zechs, Mokuba saw him and greeted

"Hey big brother! Where have you been?" Mokuba asked

"I was looking around… let's go" He simply replied and walked pass a curious Zechs and was out the door

"We'll have to go bro! Later then" Mokuba said and followed his brother

"Later bro!" Zechs called and closed the door he started for the stairs

"hmmm… I wonder where Kaiba was 'looking around'" he said to himself

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

Review please it the only thing that makes me happy PLEASE and THANK YOU
