Ch.6 You make me sick
(SPLASH!) "AAAAAAHHHHH! Kaiba!" Téa screamed as waves of water came crashing down on her. "You big oaf!" She yelled as she rubbed the droplets out of her eyes.
"Hehehehe, Seto's here! He always makes a big splash when he first comes in!" Mokuba said laughing at Téa's expression.
"It's my grand entrance." Kaiba said smirking then looking at Téa. "You would know about those." He said, his smirk growing wider as he watched her face flush.
The beach ball contacted with Kaiba's head, and the two watching laughed. His expression was now a fierce one of revenge, close to the one he was constantly giving Yugi. "I'll get both of you for that one! I think I'll start with you." He said smirking at Téa.
Téa screamed again as she swam as far away from Kaiba as possible. She heard Mokuba laughing again, 'That kid thinks this it hilarious! He wouldn't think so if he had this idio-' "AAAHHH!" Téa was being held back by strong arms. She could almost feel him grinning at her disposition as she flailed her arms and legs. "You're such a meanie!" She said sticking her tongue out at him. She would have called him something else, but they were in the presence of Mokuba.
Kaiba kept his famous smirk on as he looked down at a glaring Téa. He had to admit that she looked pretty funny trying to look all mad and everything. 'Almost cute…what the hell!' He tried not to twitch as he erased that thought quickly. "Bow down to me weakling."
"Please, like I'm going to listen to 'all mighty Kaiba, ruler of absolutely nothing." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes for effect. She grinned as he glared at her, knowing his ego was too big to let that go.
"OOOOOOO! Big Brother has taken a liking to someone! Someone named Téa!" He smiled watching the two grow red, he wasn't sure if it was out of embarrassment or anger.
"Forget Ms. Pathetic over here, I'm going after the kid!" Kaiba growled then dropped Téa in the deep end. He could stand up easily, but she couldn't. He chased after a smug Mokuba, yelling things about no pizza for a month.
Téa struggled to get to the top after Kaiba had dropped her by surprise. 'Shouldn't have been surprised that that jackass would do something like that.' 'Then why were you?'"Shut up." She mumbled at the surface, which earned a confused look from Kaiba.
The time in the water was fun even with Téa and Kaiba's skirmishes. It was late into the night when they finally got out of the pool. It was heated of course, so they were surprised at the temperature when the cool air touched their skin.
"It's c-cold!" Téa's teeth clattered as she shivered from the chilling breeze. "Kaiba could you hurry up and open the door!"
"Damn, I forgot about the automatic locks on the doors. But those only come on if it's 9:00pm or later." He cursed as he sighed and looked over at the two. "Mokuba, you have your spare don't yo-. Mokuba!" He looked around for his sibling, but didn't see him. "Where did he go Gardner!"
Téa rolled her eyes and fought to hold back an insult. She was really starting to spend too much time with him. " He went inside about an hour ago, you were too busy going down the water slide and torturing me to notice." She said giving him a small smile. "He told me to tell you when we got out, he didn't want to ruin our fun, he said." She watched Kaiba pale, his next words made her almost as white as he.
"We're locked out." He said frowning. He hated to lower himself to doing this, but it seemed the only way to get inside. Banging on the door, he yelled for someone to let him in.
"Téa's eyes widened at this desperate attempt, when suddenly a horrible realization hit her. "They're gone Kaiba. Everyone, gets let out at 9:00, I presume that's why you have the automatic locks." She saw him twitch then look at her confused. "I read the schedule posted on your office door."
"Right, now we have no hope whatsoever. Knowing Mokuba, he would think it was just some attacker or something, and call my guards." Kaiba rubbed his temples and pulled his towel tighter around him. "I guess we'll have to wait it out…what the hell am I talking about! We'll get hypothermia!"
Téa was shocked that he finally exploded. He had always been a bomb wait to go off, but for some reason she never thought he would. "Calm down Kaiba, we could always go to my house."
He was now pacing and contemplating on what to do. He'd mumble something then shake his head only to think of something else ridiculous. Pausing to look at her, he raised his eyebrow and laughed, only to return to pacing. He stopped and smacked a hand against his forehead, "Mokuba's tree house!" He grabbed Téa's hand and sprinted into the woods in the back. "Why didn't I think of this before!"
Téa had a hard time keeping up with Kaiba's long strides as well as trying to cling onto her towel. She felt Kaiba stop and she bumped into the back of him. "You know, you could warn me next time when you sto-"
Her eyes grew huge as she looked pat Kaiba at the large house in front of him. The entrance was in a tree in the front. The rest of the house was built on the ground, but it was gigantic and tall, almost the same size as the mansion, it was like a mini mansion. The door had a gold 'M' on it and was black with gold outlining. 'Why didn't he think of this before?'
Kaiba looked down at there hands and quickly retracted his from hers. He approached the door and pushed a big, red, shiny, button. A camera came down from the ceiling and examined him for a moment. "Supreme Ruler." Kaiba said and the camera jerked back. "Ah! Mr. Kaiba, welcome." The machine said in a robo-voice. Kaiba smirked and entered the tree house as the door opened slowly.
Téa gaped at the name 'Supreme Ruler.' Only someone like Kaiba would think up something that egotistical. "Why didn't you just put one of those on the Mansion!" She whined as Kaiba rolled his eyes at her.
"I didn't think I'd need it, and I still don't." He growled climbing up the golden ladder in the middle.
The upstairs was decked out in gold and white marble, much like the rest of the house. Each room had a different theme that centered around the forest, whether it was animals or plant life.
Téa wandered around for a few moments admiring the different glass sculptures. On her way to the kitchen, she sneezed.
"You're sick." Kaiba's voice sounded from upstairs, almost sounding concerned. He was fully dressed in blue jeans, a black shirt and his blue trench coat. He looked quite delicious, Téa pointed out.
"Am not."
"Are too, don't argue when you know you can't win."
"But I can win." Téa grinned then unfortunately sneezed again.
"That's what I thought, now lay down on the couch." He said turning around and disappearing into a room behind him.
"What! Wait! You make me sick." She huffed then plopped down on the couch and spread out, waiting for Kaiba.
He appeared next to her on the couch and threw a blanket over her. "You idiot, getting sick right before school tomorrow." He mumbled, as he watched Téa's face turn pink.
"It's not my fault someone forgot the key." She said, snuggling underneath the warm blanket. She looked up at Kaiba who was focusing intently on something across the room. "Thank you." She smiled as he looked back down at her.
"Yea well don't get used to it." He muttered turning around and heading up the ladder again to his private bedroom. He wouldn't have Téa in Mokuba's room and definitely not his! So he left her on the couch.
"Mokuba has good taste, she mumbled as she started to drift into a light slumber. "He learned from the best." She whispered those final words, as her mind slipped away into sleep.
Téa rolled over and fell on the floor with her bottom aching. She moaned as she rubbed her eyes of sleep and stood up. She stretched and rubbed her butt as the pain grew. "Stupid hard floor!" She mumbled as she looked over to see an amused Kaiba. "When did you get here?"
"Approximately 50 second ago." He said looking at his watch. He was already dressed in his uniform for school and was looking around for something. "I can have Mokuba meet us at the front door with my briefcase and-" He stopped looking at Téa noticing that she was still in her swimsuit. He bit his bottom lip and tried his hardest not to blush, "And clothes…maybe." He mumbled before he could stop himself.
Téa raised an eyebrow and turned bright red at the 'maybe' part. She was suddenly interested in the marble floor beneath her. "We're going to be late for school…" She mumbled looking back up at him, then her words hit her like a ton of bricks. "WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" She yelled and grabbed Kaiba's hand as he did the night before. She ran to the front and opened the door, she sneezed then yelled, "Call Mokuba now!"
Kaiba smirked at how easy she was to spazz out, "Done." Without another word he was dragged out of the tree house and to the back door of his mansion. Mokuba was waiting at the front door and Kaiba pointed this out as Téa banged on the back door.
By the time the two got to the front door they were both out of breath and irritated with one another. Téa had been sneezing and coughing, and it was getting on Kaiba's last nerve. Mokuba opened the door and backed up just in time for the two teens to rush past him in a hurry. Téa went immediately to get ready and Kaiba to escape to his office.
Mokuba turned around and watched two doors slam. "Nice to see you too."
"Téa!" Yugi and the boys ran up to a flushed Téa in the hallway. She had been late, just arriving, to her 2nd hour class and her teacher wasn't very happy about it. It had also looked very suspicious when her and Kaiba strolled in at the same time. She had been getting a lot of stares that class and she knew the torture was not over.
"Hi guys!" She said in her usually cheery voice, trying to hide the embarrassment of being late, with Kaiba.
"Where were you over the weekend?" Yugi asked hurriedly, looking up at her with his huge, innocent eyes.
"Yea, an' how 'bout comin' in wit' Kaiba!" Joey piped in, giving her a questioning look.
"We looked everywhere! Yugi even dragged us inside your house!" Tristan said forcing back a glare.
Téa's words were caught in her throat as she tried to find the words to explain. Her head what spinning, what would she tell them? She had to lie, but is that really the way to solve this? Her thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice behind her.
"She came over my house for a project that we were unfortunately assigned. The teacher couldn't think of a worse situation to put me in, so she settled with that thing." Kaiba drawled, pointing to Téa.
Téa shot him a look, but inside she was thanking him for saving her. She was ready to go up and give Kaiba a hug until he called her a 'thing'. 'Kaiba will always be Kaiba, and until he's someone else, I will always loathe him.'
Yugi looked at Kaiba then at Téa, not quite believing them. Why hadn't anyone else had a project to work on? Why wasn't she home that early in the morning Sunday? Perhaps he would play dumb now, but he would eventually find out. "Ok, well we were just worried about you was all!"
The warning bell rung signaling one minute left to get to class. Kaiba scowled and looked at the group in front of him. "Well I won't waste any more of my precious time, I have class to get to. Oh, and Téa…" He motioned for her to follow him away from her friends.
Téa followed and looked at her friends apologetically. She went up on her tiptoes to hear what Kaiba was whispering.
Yugi Watched Kaiba whispering into Téa's ear and her nodding. He thought friendship with Kaiba was fine and dandy, but this stuff doesn't happen over night. Or should he say a weekend? Something was definitely going on. Téa sneezed and Kaiba smirked and said something else that made her cheeks rosy and Téa glare at him. He knew now, something was going on, and he would find out. Most likely it'd be sooner than later.
