This will hopefully answer any questions. I have nothing else to say, so R&R! Enjoy!

Ch.4 Mr. Perfect?

Téa had been standing on the side of the staircase, talking to this apparently French guy, for10 minutes. In these few moments, she's learned that his name is Briand and he's really annoying. She had been ready to leave this conversation 9 minutes ago. She looked past him and saw the man in the corner move over to the orderve table. Oh how she longed to escape to that very same table.

The man with short brown hair sighed as he strolled casually over to the finger food. He glanced at the different choices of food. 'Escargot…nope. Caviar…nope. Chilled Salmon…ok.' He took a piece off the tray and slowly ate it. He dabbed at the corners of his mouth with a napkin to make sure there was nothing left on his face.

The man's eyes kept wandering over to the woman that had made the grand entrance. It had been hard enough for him to avert his gaze from the brunette beauty, let alone keep it focused on the food. He wasn't one to strike up a conversation, or go flirt with someone aimlessly. He personally didn't know why he was even here. Perhaps it was because of his brother….

"ow…." He moaned as he rubbed his eyes for all they were worth. "Stupid eye color changing contacts." He grumbled as his eyes grew more unbearable. 'Why did I let Mokuba talk me into wearing these…"You don't want people to know it's you," may ass!' I had to special order these non-prescription ones too…imagine, the great Seto Kaiba hiding…preposterous! Just like this event.'

Mokuba sat at home watching T.V and eating popcorn. He was definetly tired of doing this every night, but it was, what it was. He sometimes would go bother Seto about this time, but Seto wasn't here, was he? Mokuba wasn't stupid, he very well knew that Téa and his brother were gong to the same place. He had gone to see both of them before they left, but they hadn't seen each other. That was another thing he knew. He was rather smart actually, and decided not to tell her about Seto.

Mokuba changed the channel of the T.V. in hopes of finding something interesting. He stopped changing the channel when his eyes fell on the show 'Blind Date.' He laughed as the two people were meeting each other for the first time.

"That's like big brother and Téa at the party tonight." He giggled at his own remark, "'Tch, yea right. I wish."

Téa forced another dry laugh, at an unfunny joke of Briand's. She felt like she would die of boredom.

"Excuse me Briand, I'm going to go get some punch." Téa said smoothly, giving him a smile. She glided away from him, almost too quickly. The punch was by the orderves and she was happy it was on the other side of the room. The farther away from Briand, the better.

Kaiba had his fill of orderves for the night, everything but the Salmon looked contaminated. He was definitely read for some punch though, anything to get his mind off of his burning eyes. He reached for the ladle just as someone else was. Their hands touched, and Kaiba quickly retracted his.

Téa had moved her hand from the punch ladle, someone else had been also going for it. She looked up at whom it was, it was the man from the corner of course. Téa felt her cheeks tinge pink as she looked away bashfully.

Kaiba cleared his throat, "You can go first." He said simply, not being one to apologize.

Téa looked back up at him, "Thanks, I'm sorry about that." She said then poured some punch in her small glass.

There was something familiar about her to Kaiba. Her voice, maybe. It was something more though, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. Maybe he would find out a little more about her. Not that he was interested…. "That was quite an entrance you made." He said, picking up the ladle.

Téa looked over at him and turned a darker pink, "I didn't mean to stare, I just…I don't really get to go to these events much. It's so beautiful in here." She said truthfully.

Going to these type of occasions, just was a little too grand for her. Sure, she liked it, just sometimes she didn't feel like behaving like an arrogant, boring aristocrat. She just didn't belong.

"That's not what I meant." Kaiba said bluntly, his voice still not as arrogant as usual, but close.

Téa raised her eyebrow at how his mood suddenly changed. 'Just like Kaiba.…' She mused as she looked the tall man over. He looked just like him too, if it wasn't for his striking green eyes. She knew for a fact Kaiba had blue eyes. She remembered the many times she had stared into those cold eyes, She was glaring of course. "What did you mean?"

Kaiba sipped his punch casually and kept his eyes interlocked with hers. "I meant that you looked much more extravagant than the others." He drawled, not really focusing on the comment directed toward her.

He glanced to the side at a young lady getting some punch next to her. The lady had scoffed, over hearing his comment and glared at him. He couldn't help but smirk, it felt good to be bad.

Téa's cheeks instantly flushed as she played back the sweet words, in her head. She had been waiting to find out who he was all night, and when she did, she was more than pleased. He wasn't too arrogant, and not too sweet, unlike Briand. So far the night was going well.

The music around them shifted, as did the atmosphere. It was now a waltz, steady yet demanding feeling. Kaiba saw this as an opportune moment to see how she fared on the dance floor. He was no stranger himself. Practicing alone wasn't that bad. He had his own ballroom at home, just incase he was forced to host one of these events.

Téa had noticed the music too, she had almost started to sway a bit. It would be awkward to dance by herself to this particular song, so she stopped herself from attempting anything.

"Would you care to dance?" Kaiba asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable, hoping she wouldn't' refuse. No one ever refused a Kaiba.

"I'd love to." Téa gave a bright smile as he guided her onto the dance floor. He led at first, but she seemed to want to take over, so he let her. She was extremely graceful and poised even when dancing. He thought, it would only be her entrance, but he had to admit this girl had skill.

Téa was enjoying herself immensely. She had noticed at first that he had been timid when dancing so close with her, but she assured him she didn't have cooties. He seemed to roll his eyes and now pressed his body up to hers, letting there be no gap between them. She almost laughed at his childish behavior but quickly thought better of it.

The two moved gracefully in each other's arms, their feet never missing a step. Every beat and foot placement they were supposed to have, they knew it like the back of their hands. The whole time they just relaxed into each other and searched the others eye's for answers.

The couples around them had long ago stopped to watch the two. They were quite a pair. The song had ended and they were still dancing.

"The song's over…" Téa whispered as her eye's still never left his.

"I know."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Nothing, I just like holding you."

Three hours later, and a couple of glasses of spiked punch, Téa was sitting on the balcony laughing at the gorgeous man next to her. He had just told her another story about his little brother. Boy did his brother sound funny, she wanted to meet him really badly now.

Kaiba was really enjoying himself for once, this girl apparently had a rival at school that she couldn't stop talking about. But of course she wouldn't tell him a name, figured. He sounded a lot like himself, except for being a harasser and name caller…'Ok, only to Téa, but that cow doesn't count.'

Téa looked at him and let out a small giggle, "Is you brother as cute as you?" She asked timidly, not really knowing why she asked. She definitely was not one to flirt.

Kaiba raised his perfectly sculpted eyebrow at the sudden change in her speech. He gave a smirk, "Hardly." He said flashing a small smile. Not an arrogant one, not one that was forced, a true smile.

Téa grinned back, his smile was contagious. He hadn't done it once all night, now was the first. It was absolutely beautiful, it was almost like a painting. If it had been then the artist had done a damn good job. 'He's amazing…absolutely amazing.' She thought as her heart started jumping as slight dimples formed in his cheeks. "Mr. Perfect." She whispered, still gazing at him.

"What was that? Care to share with the audience?" Kaiba asked, fully aware of what she had said. He tried to hide the faint blush, on his face, but found it increasingly difficult as she looked at him.

Téa looked down at her watch, 'Oh no, 12:00. She had promised Mokuba she'd be back by 11:00. No doubt he'd be disappointed. They had talked about her curfew together, she didn't think she needed one, but he was apparently worried about her. They had discussed this when he first heard she was staying at the Mansion. He knew the reason, even if they weren't supposed to tell.

"I have to go, It's past curfew." She mumbled the last part while giving him an awkward smile. "It's long story…and no, my parents didn't set it." She said, feeling that his next question would be on her family. She definitely did not want to talk about her family. She stood and brushed herself off, fixing the wrinkled bottom of her dress in the process.

Kaiba looked disappointed, but knew he had to be leaving soon also. He guided her back to the entrance of the grand hall, watching people around them conversing animatedly.

She was ready to leave, but before Téa did, she turned around to face the handsome gentleman. "Thank you." She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Kaiba was dumbfounded as his face turned as red as a tomato. He really didn't know what to say. All he could muster was a small squeaky voice. "W-what's your n-name?" He had felt so stupid, he had never been so out of it in his entire life. His defensive walls starting to disintegrate.

The girl smiled as her cheeks tinged slightly pink as well, "Téa."

Kaiba was still in a haze, his thought were clouded as he blurted out his name. "Seto Kaiba." He looked at the girls widening eyes and then her name finally registered, 'Tea…shit.'

'This can't be happening, I'm dreaming, he didn't just say his name was…Kaiba…damnit!' Téa raised her hand to her forehead as she watched him take off his mask. She took hers off in turn and sighed, 'Why do the god's hate me so much?'

Kaiba put his finger up to his eye and removed one of the contacts. His guard was back up 100 and he was ready with snide remarks. "You idiot. Thought I was someone else did you?"

Téa felt like balling right about now. She wanted to pretend she didn't here him say his name. "You didn't know it was me either you arrogant, son of a bi-"

"'Tch, puhleez Gardner, your so dense, I didn't think cows were that smart, but you've made a world record." He said, wishing that this had never happened.

"UGH! You're so infuriating! Just when I started to like you too!" She yelled turning on her heel and marching to where the limousine was parked amongst the other cars.

Kaiba turned his back on her and strolled furiously back into the lively hall. 'That little…oh it just had to be her!' Then her words entered back into his twisted little mind, already playing games with him. "Just when I started to like you too." He rubbed his temples and sighed, "Damnit." He cursed as he walked to the orderve table once again. He was suddenly in need of a lot of heavily spiked punch.

A/N: Urgh, that took me forever! .;; My bloody finals have been keeping me from this all week. I finally got some time, not much, but some. I have finals in the morning again! --;; Oh well, as usual R&R! (I love all of you reviewers, I even have some of the one's I refer to as sensei! You guys teach me through your writing! I luff you!)

Wolfie: "So, tired…(zombie-fied)

Kaiba: Great, your tired after you rote that stupidly short chapter…pathetic mortal….

Wolfie: "Shut up, you already screwed up any future relationship with Téa, and that's not my fault…ok maybe it is."

Kaiba: "I hate you."

Téa: "Yea, I hate you too!"

Wolfie: "Fine, you'll both die by being eaten by a wolf." (takes notes)

Téa and Kaiba: "We love you!"

Wolfie: "Uh huh, that's what I thought."
