A/N: Yay I'm out of school and I did good on my finals! Good as in not failing…but still! -.-;; I'm glad I've been getting some great reviews from all of you! I luff all of you just so you know! Speaking of reviews…

Thanks to everyone including LuvinAniManga-sensei:D I am so uber happy that you like it!

To answer some reviewer's questions-

1.Téa's parents are always away for business trips and such so they aren't around much at all.

2.Also they didn't go to Téa's house because Kaiba of course wouldn't reduce himself to stay in another's home, and he has to take care of Mokuba and Kaiba Corp.

Thankies to everyone and if you get confused, just ask:D Without any more of my ranting, enjoy!


Ch.5 Liar

Sunday morning, easy, laid back Sunday morning. Well, that's at least what it's supposed to be like. After the eventful Saturday evening, there was no way Sunday was going to be either of those.

Téa groaned as the bed vibrated violently and her name was being called. Her eyes slowly opened and she rubbed the sleep out of them as she yawned. She recognized that voice, she was in trouble now.

Mokuba was jumping on the bed as he watched Téa start to wake up. "Téa, you were late last night! What happened? Seto didn't get back until 2:00 in the morning and I was worried about both o-"

"Mokuba calm down and sit down. C'mere and tell me what's wrong slowly." Téa said motioning the boy to sit next to her.

"You and Big Brother didn't get home until late last night and I was worried…" Mokuba said as he flopped down next to Téa.

Téa remembered everything that happened last night and cringed at the ending. But not before she smiled at the beginning. She knew that when Kaiba was some unknown man, she was extremely attracted to him and figured he was perfect. Then again, no one's perfect. The fact that it was Kaiba ended any feelings of admiration. This in turn brought feelings of disgust… and curiosity.

"Téa…Téa to planet earth…" Mokuba waved his hand in front of the girl's face to get her attention.

Téa snapped out of her little trance and looked over at the confused child. "Sorry about that Mokuba, what were you saying?"

"I was just worried about you and Seto…did something happen? Did the limousine driver take you out for pizza, I told him not to do that without me!" Mokuba pouted as he thought of the numerous possibilities why they were both late.

"No, I just enjoyed myself a little too much and stayed an hour longer than planned. Sorry, didn't mean to worry you...what was that about your brother?" Téa had felt an urge to ask about the famous CEO.

"He came in late yesterday mumbling stuff about how evil girls were out to get him. I'm worried about him, he looked really stressed out. He hasn't been himself lately, maybe we should talk to him." Mokuba said scooting closer to Téa. He pulled his legs up to his chest and sighed. "He might not tell me anything, so could you talk to him?" He looked up at Téa with those eyes, the ones she could never refuse.

Téa bit her bottom lip trying not to give in. There was no way she could come face to face with him, let alone ask him what was wrong. 'Damn Mokuba and his cuteness!' Téa let out a heavy sigh and hung her head, "I'll try…"

Mokuba smiled brightly and gave Téa a giant hug.

"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" Mokuba grinned as Téa turned pink. Why did this always happen to her?


(knock) "Kaiba?" Téa stood outside Kaiba's bedroom door and no one was answering. She creaked open the door to see a tangled body in the center of the bed covered in cream sheets. She stepped over to the side of the bed to look at him.

Kaiba slept with a peaceful look on him. Not exactly the most comfortable, but still peaceful. His legs were tangled up in the cream silk sheets. He almost looked as though he got into a fight with them.

A small smile crawled up on Téa's face as she thought how similar he was now to last night. Innocent, that's how she would describe him then and now. Well, seemingly at least. She liked him this way.

Kaiba shifted in his sleep and moved the sheets over his head.

Téa let out a barely audible giggle as she found this extremely cute and un-Kaiba-ish.

Kaiba's eyes blinked open and his vision cleared from the darkness. It took a moment to register that Téa was in his room and watching him. He jerked up into a sitting position as he threw off the satin sheets. Shaking his head, he muttered obscenities then glared at Téa. "GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT!"

Téa now knew for sure that Mokuba and Kaiba were related. "Calm down! Relax, I'm not here to murder you." 'No matter how much I want to…'

"Well personally I don't find you capable of murdering anyone in the first place, you're way too incompetent" Kaiba said fighting back the urge to stick his tongue out at her.

Téa gave an unladylike snort and frowned, "Tch, like you would. You seemed to be doing the exact opposite last night…" Téa soon realized that she had brought up exactly what she was afraid of. Internally taking a mallet and beating her head in, Téa was hoping he didn't hear that.

Kaiba didn't want to respond to that, he really didn't. But then again, do things ever go his way? I don't think so! "I think it was the booze."

Téa laughed and sat down next to him. "Then maybe you should have it more often." She looked at his plain white ceiling in contemplation. "So it was all a lie…figures you're a liar."

Kaiba frowned at two things, what she said, and close proximity of the two. He hated to admit it but it wasn't as unbearable as it should have been, that's what made him frown. "I may be a lot of things Gardner, asshole included, but I am not a liar."

"Not even about liking to hold me…"


"Where do you think she is Joey?" Yugi paced back and forth in front of the game shop. He was worried to death about Téa. She wasn't at home and she hadn't answered her cell phone all morning.

"Relax Yug! She's probably sleep at home still. Ya know she's a late sleepa'." Joey said stifling a yawn. He had been asked to come over early so that the group could get together and do something today. "Ya worry too much!"

Tristan laid his head on the display case and drooled, "No worries…urgh." (yawn) It was definitely too early on a Sunday for him to be up.

"I guess you guys are right…but let's just go over to her house to make sure." Yugi said grabbing his blue jacket. This was natural for him by now, he always worried about his friends. Especially Téa with her being the only girl usually.

Tristan and Joey sighed as they followed their friend out the door. They worried about him sometimes.


"Do you have to work today! Mokuba's going to be really mad! He said that he wanted to go somewhere with you today. I promised him that you would!" Téa whined as Kaiba ignored her and threw pillows at her.

"Are you perhaps capable of shutting up?" Kaiba said as he was getting fed up with her non-stop complaining. "I have work to do and a meeting in an hour. Learn not to make promises you can't keep."

"But-but-" Téa needed him to agree to take Mokuba somewhere or else Mokuba would be even more pissed than he already was from last night. Okay, so you wouldn't exactly call it pissed, more of a worry, but it was as effective and consequential as the other.

"I made myself clear now go away before I call security." Kaiba said rolling his eyes at the insufferable woman in front of him.

"Was that a joke? A wise crack from the famous ice cube Seto Kaiba?" Téa asked amazed that the man was even capable of telling a joke. Well, she also didn't think he was capable of being anything but a jerk until last night.

"Har, har, now get out of my sight simpleton." He said pushing her out of his room. "As for the proposition, I'll talk to Mokuba later." With that he shut the door in Téa's face. 'For Mokuba, that's why I even considered it. Not for her, for Mokuba…okay, maybe just a little bit for her.'


"She's not answering…what if she's been kidnapped! Quick, get her spare out from under the mat!" Yugi spazzed as he grabbed for the key beneath him.

Joey put a hand on Yugi's shoulder and shook him gently. "Yugi! Get a hold of yourself! Téa's probably just sleepin' an' don't feel like answerin' da door!"

Tristan nodded sleepily, "Yea Yug, sleeping…"

Yugi snatched the key up and hastily jammed it into the keyhole. He twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open. The short teen ran inside and up the steps to Téa's room.

Joey and Tristan shook their heads and followed Yugi silently. They knew she was fine, she could take care of herself.

Yugi let out a high-pitched shriek as he found Téa's bed neatly made and empty. "She's not here!" Yugi tried to fight the strong need to run around in circles and scream. "I call a search party! I say we get Yami to cover-"

"Get a hold of yourself man! We'll just ask her a school tomorrow. She's probably just at a sleepover or somethin'. Tristan said now getting slightly aggravated with Yugi's hyperactive-ness.

Yugi sighed and sat down on Téa's empty bed. "You're right…Tomorrow…I hope she's ok…"


Téa sat watching cartoons with Mokuba. Her stomach growled at her and she felt like eating the T.V.. Nothing good was on anyway…. The cook had shooed her out of the kitchen and told her to be patient. Téa hated to be patient on an empty stomach.

"So is Big Brother going to take us somewhere?" Mokuba asked as a commercial came on.

"Don't know, he said he's talk to you, so I'm guessing it's a yes." She said trying to focus on Mokuba and not on the hopefully edible T.V.

"I'm glad you're here."

"…."

"You don't like it here do you?"

"It's not that…it's just…I wish you're brother wouldn't ruin my life so often…a couple times a month would be good."

"A lot of people say that, but I think he's great. If you knew him like I do, you'd love him too."

"I'm sure I would."


"You done with work?" Téa had been sitting in Kaiba's office for 5 minutes and he hadn't said a word.

"…." Kaiba typed wordlessly on his laptop, not feeling like replying.

"Why won't you talk to me?"

"Because I don't like you."

"Finally, you said something!" Téa smiled then remembered his last sentence, "You said you weren't a liar."

"…."

"Mokuba wants to go swimming."

"We have a pool" Kaiba pointed out getting increasingly annoyed at Téa and his brother's efforts.

Téa rolled her eyes at the CEO, "Exactly! You're going to swim with us or else." She said getting a smirk, somewhat resembling Kaiba's. Maybe she was spending too much time with him after all.

"Is that a threat Gardner?" Kaiba raised his eyebrow, but his expression remained neutral.

Téa pulled a pair of bunched up boxers out from behind her back. They were white with red and pink hearts all over them. She watched as a look of shock fluttered across Kaiba's face. "I believe it is."

Kaiba twitched at the sight of his last Valentines Day present from Mokuba. It had been horrible then and even worse now. "Where did you get that!" He panicked about what Téa might have gone through.

"A birdie went right up to my window and brought me them so that you would go swimming with Mokuba and I." She smiled as sweetly as possible just to aggravate him. "I assume you'll be outside in 5 minutes then."

Kaiba frowned then suddenly he remembered the day of their detention. The exact say he had actually stolen Téa's bra. A smirk of revenge found it's way on Kaiba's face as he turned around. Opening a draw labeled 'shredder' he snatched up the lacy piece of clothing. He flashed the undergarment in her face. "Now, now Gardner, you should have learned by now that little birdies like to give me presents too."

Téa's mouth was practically on the floor, she had forgotten about that small detail. 'Oh yea, he took that from me didn't he! Why that little…'

"When you wants something from me, don't ask, I don't care. Trust me, it won't change my mind about saying 'no'." Kaiba gave an evil grin and stashed Téa's bra back in the drawer. "I think I'll hold onto that."

"You don't have to do it for me Kaiba! You have to do it for Mokuba! He's the one who really wants you there. If you let him down…he'll think you don't care, it that what you want?" Téa had just completely exploded on Kaiba…and it felt good. But at the same time, it felt incredibly bad.

Kaiba tried to hold down some of his anger, he felt like he was about to fire an employee. "Don't you EVER tell me what Mokuba thinks or wants or needs! If he needs to tell me something he can bloody well come to me! I'm his brother, not you!"

Téa cast her eye's downward and bit her lower lip as Kaiba's voice raised. She knew he didn't mean to sound so mean…did he? She looked back up at Kaiba as he tried to calm down. "I can see why your brother looks up to you…you take good care of him. You're right, I should probably stop bothering you about what he says he wants. I'll tell you something though. I won't stop. I'll keep coming to you and bothering you, until I get what I want."

Kaiba tried to keep his eyes from widening, no one ever talked to him like that. He hated the strength of this woman, yet he admired it as well. He sighed and rubbed his temples, "I'll be out in 5 minutes."

Téa smiled at her accomplishment and moved over to Kaiba. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his center, giving him a hug. "Thank you."

Kaiba didn't know what to do about the girl clinging to him. It actually felt kinda nice…but just kinda. So even though his brain protested, he stood there and took it.


Kaiba walked out onto the concrete in the backyard. Strutting his blue and silver swim trunks, he felt rather exposed. Téa and Mokuba were already in the pool tossing around a beach ball, waiting for him. He noticed how he liked the fact that Téa was wearing a baby blue halter bikini. Cursing himself for his wandering thoughts, he threw his towel aside.

Téa looked up from her little game with Mokuba and couldn't help but turn red. 'He's so hot! Damn, it's not fair he has to be an evil jerk!' Suddenly Téa was knocked back to reality with the beach ball smacking into the side of her face.

Mokuba let out a loud laugh as Kaiba smirked at her disposal. He might actually enjoy this…laughing at Téa of course.


A/N: Whew! Done! Hope everyone liked it, next it will be more fun! They go swimming and then someone gets sick! How? I'm not telling! Hehehe! Also I'll soon have a chapter where the week goes by pretty fast so it might be a little jumpy. I might put them as short journal essays. (Their assignment) But until then you'll just have to wait! Hehehe! I can't wait until the next chapter, it's going to be so much fun! (Runs away laughing)

Téa: "Why did you have to make Kaiba so smexy? (drools)

Wolfie: "Not for my own twisted pleasures, of course!"

Kaiba: "Liar."

Wolfie: "So, what ya gunna do about it!"

Kaiba: "…."

Wolfie: (smile) "I love being the author!"
