LuvinAniManga: Thanks for reviewing and to answer your question, they have established that they obviously like each other. You'll find more out in this chapter. Also they had kissed before and had a conversation about it before so it's not like they totally hated each other still. Of course Kaiba's not going to turn around and becoma a super sweet guy, but he will attempt to be a little more affectionate. An example was the massaging of her back to wake her up instead of dumping her on the floor. Thanks for the question, I'm happy to have an answer:D

Thanks again to everyone for all of your reviews and of course, keep 'em comming!

On with the show! Er story thing! XD


Ch.11 Wonderfully Horrible

What a wonderful day it was going to be, a wonderfully, horrible day.

Téa threw on a pair of jeans and a baby blue tank-top. There was no time to pick out anything non-simplistic. She hurriedly brushed out her hair just enough so that it wasn't flying everywhere. She had run out on Kaiba after he had asked about her secrets, she'd probably spill if she didn't.

She ran down the stairs and ended up tripping on the second to last step. She grabbed for the banister but found an arm supporting her instead. She looked up to see Kaiba shaking his head and holding her up.

Kaiba was amused at her fast pace, but at the same time he didn't want to see her end up with a concussion. He frowned, portraying that he didn't' approve of her flying through the mansion. "Slow down."

Téa stood strait up and nodded and let Kaiba remove his arm. "Are you going to eat now?"

"No." Kaiba turned in the direction of his garage and away from Téa.

Téa gritted her teeth and grabbed his arm. "Alright mister! You are coming with me in the kitchen to get something to eat. NOW!"

Kaiba blinked and kept a strait face. "You know we can't tell anyone about us."

Téa was thoroughly confused, "What the hell are you talking about! That's completely random and has nothing to do with EATING!"

"I was just letting you know before I left." He tried to shake her off of his arm but her hold was too strong. "Now let go, they'll realize my absence and think something is wrong and come to check. That. Means. Get. OFF!"

Téa stayed glued to his arm and took a few deep breaths. "For one, they would have noticed by now! Two, something is wrong, YOUR'E NOT EATING YOUR DAMNED BREAKFAST! Oh, and so now you've FINALLY established that there is an us!" Téa was doing more yelling now than she had in her entire lifetime. She tried to go back to calm collective Téa. "Just please Seto, I just want to sit down and eat with you. You need some energy for all your meetings today, and I'm going to make sure your going to get it. So stop arguing, and please…."

If you didn't think the situation couldn't get any worse…you were wrong. At that exact moment, The doorbell rung.

Kaiba sighed and rolled his eyes, avoiding looking at the door. "Yes there is an us but we can't let it get out. I have press on me the MINUTE I step out of this house. They follow me around and if they knew, they would do the same to you. If that's not bad enough, I also have…rabid fan girls." Kaiba twitched at the mention of his little unofficial fan club. "So just keep it quiet and I'll do the same. As for food, FINE! You know, you DON'T have to be such a BITCH about it. You're wasting my time now anyway." As soon as Téa's grip loosened he took off for the kitchen hoping to avoid Téa's iron fist and her incoming friend.

As soon as Kaiba was out of sight and the doorbell had rung two more times, Téa sighed. She walked over to the door and pressed her forehead up to its surface. Why did there have to be so many sacrifices to be with someone you care about? Téa took a deep breath and stood strait up. She put on her usual, cheerful smile, but this time it was a bit strained. Her hand touched the cool metal of the doorknob and she quickly opened the door to face Mai. No one ever said life was easy.


Mokuba had woken up to the sound of yelling. Right away he had a headache from the mix of sleep deprived-ness and the hollering done by his older brother and Téa. He decided to check it out no matter how much he wanted to turn over and cover his ears with his pillow.

Mokuba slid out of his bed and crawled over to the corner of the banister where he didn't think they could see him. The doorbell rang and he caught Seto talking/yelling a response to something Téa had said. He smiled when Kaiba mentioned the 'us' part. It made his job so much easier. The hard part was helping them maintain a relationship, with Yugi and the guys plotting to destroy any traces of one. He watched Seto storm of into the Kitchen and Téa just standing there letting the doorbell ring.

After a couple seconds, Téa opened the door, and who else was there but Mai. Mokuba knew that having one of Téa's friends here was hazardous. He was pretty sure that Mai was pretty safe though. As far as he knew, she was the only one beside maybe Bakura who wasn't in on this war.

He watched her try and enter the house but Téa instead stepped outside and closed the door. He snapped his fingers in disappointment and angrily marched back to his room to get some more sleep.


Kaiba rummaged through the fridge looking for something edible to eat. He picked up a package of meat that read 'artificial turkey flavoring.' "Who the hell buys this crap?" 'I'll have to remember to fire them later.' Finally he settled for some cheese eggs and a piece of toast.

He kept looking at his watch periodically and almost choked from not breathing in between bites. He was also curious why Téa's idiot friend was here. If today hadn't started off horrible enough, it just had to get worse. He just didn't want everything to get out of hand with his and Téa's relationship. He admitted he liked her, a lot and probably would do whatever it took to be with her. Now that they were technically and officially a couple, everything was bound to get harder. No matter what though, Kaiba was always one to win, and win he would.

He tossed his plate in the sink and left for another day filled with meetings and annoying businessmen.


Téa had shut the door behind herself as she hurriedly moved outside. Mai had wanted to come in for the moment but Téa just couldn't take any chances. "So why are you here Mai? I mean, why do I have the pleasure of seeing you on such short notice!

Mai noted the stressed words at the end but kept her smile. "Oh hun, I just thought we could use some girl time! We havn't gotten together in a while now and I just thought I'd take the initiative!" She said putting a hand on her hip. She looked behind Téa and at the grand door to the Kaiba mansion. "How about we go talk inside."

"Or, we could go to the mall or to the beach or…somewhere else." Téa felt slightly awkward with Mai starring behind her with a determined look, the whole time she was talking. "Mai…Mai? MAI!"

Mai snapped out of her little daze and looked over at Téa and nodded not having any idea what she had just said.

Téa knew this was the perfect opportunity to use her agreeing to her own advantage. "Great! Which one? How about we go to the beach! I'll go get my swimsuit." Téa opened the door to go in and Mai slipped inside too pissed at herself for zoning out.

Mai watched as Téa turned to go upstairs, "Oh, wait hun! I sould help you pick which one! You know I'm an expert at these things!" Mai glided over to Téa and grabbed her hand practically pulling her up the steps. "Wait…which one is your room?"

Téa twitched from the rough treatment and shakily pointed to the one in the middle.

Mai grinned at the gold mine in front of her and pulled Téa over to it. She walked over through the open doorway and looked around. She dropped Téa's hand to look through her drawers. "Oooooh! This is sooo cute! Why don't you ever wear this? What the hell is wrong with you girl!

Mai had in her hands a blue jean mini, mini skirt. It had a sort of rustic look to it and was kinda cute once you got past how short it was. The top to it was a black tube top that had a bunch of probably not strategically placed holes in it. It aswell was extremely short and came down halfway between someone's belly button and their chest. It was a birthday present from one of her friends that lived in Australia. She had visited not too long ago.

Téa groaned when she saw what Mai had pulled out. "Let's see, it's about 5 inches too short and the top is barely there at all. Téa felt the urge to cover eyes just looking at it. She didn't know how she ever packed that!

Mai looked at it thoughtfully and set it down, "Alright where's your swim suit?"

Téa rummaged through a few articles of clothing before she took out her baby blue suit. "There, now I'll just change and then we'll get going to your house to get yours."

Mai looked at the outfit now on the bed in front of her. "How about you wear this outfit over your swimsuit!"

Téa shook her head and tried not stutter. There was no way she was going to wear that. "Um Mai, I really don't thi-"

"Nonsense dear, I really think you'd get a lot more attention from the guys this way!" She said and winked noticing Téa's furrowed eyebrows. "Or we could always go swimming her-"

"Fine! I'll wear it…" She said trying hard not to bite Mai's head off as she snatched the outfit up. Kaiba wouldn't like it if she told Mai about them. So she would have to get her out of the house before she found something, like her assignment. She sighed and went into the bathroom, 'The things I do for you Seto…'


Joey and Tristan sat on the couch at the game shop. Yugi and Joey were currently dueling while Tristan was napping. They had a hard time concentrating with Mai over at the mansion. They silently prayed that she found something out.

"I summon Kuriboh." Yugi mumbled in a tired voice. He really was exhausted from all this planning and plotting. He really wanted this to be over, but he was determined not to give up. He was pretty sure Joey and Tristan weren't ready to give up either. Now they would have to rely on Mai to get them somewhere, without her…well, there isn't really another option.

"Oh give it a rest Yug! We're all tired. Jus go 'ta sleep man, er rest ya eyes er sumthin'." Joey leaned back and closed his eyes, not caring about the game for once.

Yugi watched his friends sleep for a while. There was just something…no, someone missing. Téa.


The minute the door closed, Mai was searching through Téa's room frantically. She opened desk drawers and searched under her bed. She was desperate to find something, anything!

Then there it was, the sun shining on it in all its beauty. Pieces of paper with records of all that had happened as of about a week ago. Mai scanned the first few paragraphs of Téa's latest entry. "I knew it."

Then, the bathroom door opened.


A/N: (sigh) I have a headache from writing this…is that a bad thing? XD It means I thought a lot about it though! Alright, sorry about the short ness but I have to go visit someone in the hospital and I'm like drained. Stay awesome guys and as always, R&R!

Wolfie: "I've got a really bad headache thanx to you evil characters!"

Téa: "It's not my fault!"

Kaiba: "She's right, it's mine! Hahaha, bow down mortal!"

Wolfie: "Yes master!"
