Ch.18 Venitio

Kaiba and Téa had an interesting ride back to the mansion. It was funny how two people who totally adored one another could bitch to each other so easily, well if they weren't Seto Kaiba and Téa Gardner.

"Will you stop being so damn selfish for ONE MINUTE!" Téa fumed.

"If you would LISTEN, then you would see my point!" Kaiba argued, trying to prove his point. He wasn't being selfish, just obviously correct.

Téa sighed but refused to give up this argument. "This is happening to Mokuba, not you. So take your head out of your ass and think about what he's going through right now!"

"Wouldn't it seem logical that someone would try and get because of this publicity? This isn't good for any of the other company's, not to mention mine! They got to me all right, via my brother." Kaiba said still trying to explain. "You know what, I don't need to put up with your shit right now." He turned away from her to look out the window.

Téa glared at his back, not caring if he was right or not. "Stop acting like a 5 yr. old Kaiba."

"Oh, so now it's back to Kaiba? Fine Gardner!" Kaiba said feeling his insides crumbling.

Téa sighed, "I didn't mean it…" She put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated."

"Like I'm not!" Kaiba mumbled, getting more and more pissed off.

Téa scooted over right behind Kaiba and put her arms around his waist. "Who would do this?"

Kaiba sighed and rubbed his temples, "Who wouldn't?"


"Dante!" A young boy yelled in Italian from the bottom of his mansion's spiral stairs.

A man with brown hair, and fiery eyes came out of a room on the left. "What now Vince?" He wheeled his wheelchair by the banister. "Haven't I told you I have to plan the demise of Kaiba and Téa?"

"Yes, yes, I know. But once you hear what I did to his brother, you'll call me Master from now on." Vince smirked, an evil glint in his eye.

Dante frowned, "What have you done! You could have ruined my plans! How dare you do ANYTHING without my consent!" He angrily wheeled to the side and pushed the elevator button. He always hated waiting for the damned thing.

Vince met his brother when he finally got to the bottom. He wheeled him out of the elevator and into the living room. "I'm telling you brother, you're going to love it." He faced his brother toward him and sat down on the leather couch.

Dante glared at his younger brother, "Vince, I'm warning you, if you eve-"

"I pushed Mokuba off of the Monkey bars and he blacked out instantly. I think I heard something crack too!" Vince smiled, "Don't worry, I already told father and he's so very proud of my accomplishment. You know how he is about Mr. Kaiba and his company. Ever since we came here 5 years ago."

Dante shook his head, "The boy is useless, that sad attempt won't do anything. I already tried that with his bitch and look where that got me!" He said wheeling around in his chair. He cursed in Italian, "You're such an idiot Vince, you can't do anything right!" He wheeled himself back to the elevator and into it. He glared one last time before disappearing behind the doors.

Vince frowned as he mumbled, "I just wanted to make you proud brother."


"I'm not sure when you'll be able to come home." Kaiba sat is his black leather chair with his cell phone up to his ear. "I do know what happened, now!" He glared out his window, he was surprised the glass hadn't broken yet. It wasn't hard to guess who he was talking to. "Soon, be patient Mokuba." He sighed and hung u., Mokuba had a way of making him feel like a lousy brother, if something went wrong.

Kaiba's work phone started to ring. He looked at it and hoped it would just stop, but it didn't. The ringing was getting on his nerves, but he still didn't want to pick it up. He glared at it some more, but eventually gave in. He picked up the phone, "Hello, Kaiba speaking."

"Hello Mr. Kaiba! It's Venitio."

Kaiba cursed under his breath, "Mr. Venitio, it's so very horrible to hear your voice."

"Likewise Mr. Kaiba, likewise. Now, I know you've seen the tabloids lately and I just wanted you to know how wonderful it is to see you in there again. That ghastly article is just wonderful for business lately!"

Kaiba scowled, He hated these conversations, but not as much as he hated Mr. Venitio himself. "Did you call just to say something everyone already knows, as usual?"

"No, no! Of course not Mr. Kaiba, you know me better than that!"

Kaiba could almost feel him smirking through the phone. "You're right, what other idiotic remark have you called to tell me?"

"I just wanted to wish Young master Mokuba the best. I hope he recovers soon, you wouldn't want any more bad publicity."

Kaiba took a sharp intake of breath as his eyes visibly widened. "How do you know about that!"

"I know a lot of things Mr. Kaiba, addio."

Kaiba heard a click on the other line and knew his enemy had hung up. He rolled the possibilities of how Venitio knew about Mokuba, over in his mind. 'Venitio, Vince! Dante! That's it!'


Téa sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in her lap. She adjusted her position as she watched her favorite movie.

She laughed at the irony between the movie and her life. In the movie, two teenagers were enemies, but eventually fall in love. Everyone is against the two except for their siblings who were trying to get them together in the first place. They have to go through a series of trials that test how strong their love is. Now tell me that isn't irony.

Téa had seen it a hundred times, but she would watch it another hundred before it ever resembled boring. The only part she didn't like, was the end.

It was only the beginning of the movie, but someone cleared their throat behind her, interrupting it.

Kaiba stood behind the couch with his arms crossed. He smirked as Téa turned around, her cheeks full of popcorn. "Did you know that you resemble a squirrel when you do that?"

Téa finished chewing and swallowed, "You're right, I do look cute and small. You know you just want to squeeze me, you can't deny it!" She smiled and stuck her tongue out at him.

Kaiba raised his eyebrow and walked around to her side of the couch. He shrugged off his jacket and threw it in the chair next to the couch.

Téa was having a hard time concentrating with Kaiba in a tight black shirt. She could see the outlines of his muscles and it wasn't helping her imagination.

After sitting down, Kaiba watched Téa squirm, and a look of amusement crossed his features. He laid down on top of Téa so there stomachs were touching. He reached his hand up and ran it carefully down the side of her cheek and down her neck. "So what if you're right?"

Téa swore she was about to pass out. She wasn't sure if she was dreaming or not. She was sure hoping that it wasn't a dream though. "You must be sick Seto, what happened?" Téa said trying not to smile.

"I was poisoned." He said kissing her jaw line and breathing in her scent. She smelled like vanilla and cinnamon, so sweet, with a little spice.

"Am I really that toxic?" She tried not to laugh, but it was difficult with him kissing her like that.

Kaiba paused for a minute and looked up at Téa, "Yes."

Téa smiled, but thought about the real reason he had come downstairs. "Was something wrong with Mokuba?"

"Hmmm? Why did you have to go and bring it up right now?" Kaiba complained.

"Because I knew something was wrong when you came out of the cave Batman." Téa ran her fingers trough his hair and watched it fall back in place all over again.

"He wants to come home." He said taking a deep breath and breathing in her scent again. "You smell so good…"

"Is something else wrong?" She asked, refusing to let temptation get the best of her.

"I know who pushed Mokuba…but let's continue this conversation later." He said, liking the way her fingers felt on his scalp.

Téa's mouth opened and closed a few times before she was able to say anything. "Seto wait, tell me who it is! Who hurt my Mokuba!"

Kaiba sighed, "My business enemy and nightmare, Dante and Vince Venitio's Father. Well, technically it was the boy Vince, but I know he planned it. You remember Dante don't you?"

Téa had to think for a few moments, before she caught on. 'Dante? Dante…OH MY GOSH!' She gasped, "You're kidding! Dante, he was the one who-"

Kaiba nodded, "And I hospitalized him and now he's in a wheelchair."

Her eyes lit up like light bulbs, "So his little brother pushed-"

"Mokuba and now he's in the hospital." Kaiba finished with a little nod at the end.

"Sounds like the perfect revenge to me." Téa said, absentmindedly starting to play with his hair again.

Kaiba gave her a quick kiss, "Sounds like sabotage."

She frowned at the possibility there was nothing else they could do. "So what's next?"

Kaiba smirked, "I finish kissing you, then we talk revenge."


A/N: Wow, that one took a while. My power went off right when I wanted to work on it! It was out for 6 hours straight! I was so depressed. T.T But, it's up now, so I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Little more action this time, hehe. (Wink) R&R!

Wolfie: "I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, (AGAIN) and my parents turned it off! I was watching it in the movie theatre too! I was so mad, because it was at the Mike T.V. part near the end!"

Kaiba: "Dork."

Wolfie: "Hey, you'd watch it over and over too!"

Kaiba: "No I wouldn't…dork."

Wolfie: "I hate you…."

Kaiba: "You're still a dork."
