Disclaimer: I own Yu-Gi-Oh! ( suddenly wakes up from dream)

A/N: I decided that since I got so many reviews in matter of a day I would update in super speed, and so the winner of the vote is our mystery shadows man, I'm guessing most people put him down because they wanted his identity revealed. I had put him down on the vote list because the thought had come to my mind. Yet, when I actually went to write it, I realized it would be hard to do so without giving away too much. But, with a little thought, a lot of ice cream, and hours of watching TV I finally found the perfect way to incorporate the kiss between him and Tea into the story so that it could make sense, without ruining future suspense. So here it goes…

By the way a little note to an anonymous reviewer adf who was worried about Tea getting raped, don't worry that won't ever happen in this story so rest assure.

RECAP:

She felt a hand around her waist, and then she was swiftly turned around. Before she could scream, yell, or even look at who her captor was she felt a pair of lips on her own…

Chapter 5:

She tried to pull him off of her, but he was so much stronger than her. She opened her eyes, to take a glimpse of who he was, but couldn't. The angle at which he held her face in was one in which she could see nothing more than skin drenched with rain, and a profile of a nose. Nothing that could help her to decipher who he was. Her hands crept up around his neck and went to grab a lock of hair, since trying to force him away from her by pushing wasn't working, she might as well see if pulling him away would work.

To anyone passing by, though, it would seem as if two lovers were making out in the pouring rain unable to control their feeling for each other. The hand she was using to try to pry him away from her, from a distance would seem as if she was drawing him closer. That's exactly what it looked like to Seto Kaiba, who was soaking wet, across the street from them. The first feeling that came to him was a wave of raging anger, that made him want to pulverize the man kissing Tea. He couldn't make him out to well in the rain, but his anger was bubbling. The second feeling that came crashing into him was sadness. He felt alone, isolated, and at a loss. As he turned around, for the first time in his life he felt as if he lost something valuable. The greatest shock being he wasn't going to fight to get it back. No, this was a good thing he assured himself. It was a good thing that his Gardener was with someone else. How pathetic was he? He didn't want her, he even refused to call her by her first name, and yet he didn't want anyone else to have her. Good riddance he thought She loved another, and it was for the best. This was much better for him. He didn't need such weaknesses, but, for some reason he felt as though the weakness was not in loving, yet, in not loving. Though that didn't matter, because the steak his stepfather had inflicted on his heart was wedged deep, and wouldn't budge.

She was starting to panic. She couldn't breathe, and the man was running his tongue across her lips trying to gain entrance into her mouth. She didn't want to hurt him, she had no idea who he was. Something about the way he felt seemed familiar, his scent was not new to her. Maybe she would have been able to guess who this was if only the rain wasn't weakening her senses. It didn't seem as if the man would be letting go of her soon so she did what she had to do. She bit his lip, and because she was afraid now, she didn't want him chasing after her so she brought her knee up hard against his crotch, and delivered a blow to his face. Had she not been so panic stricken she would have looked to see who he was, but in her current state she just ran towards home, well something that she hoped would someday actually be a home for her, Kaiba mansion.

Damn the woman. It was going to be to obvious now. He had made a major error and fallen for one of the enemy. Trying to block the pain from Tea's blows, he took out his phone, and dialed a number. Once the person he was calling picked up he barked orders to them so that his cover would not be blown.

Tea ran through the door, and straight into a warm muscled chest. Without looking up, she could tell it was Kaiba, who had apparently been on his way out. She knew she should be mad at him, but right now, she liked the feeling of safety she got from where she was.

" You're boyfriend break up with you?" he spat, pure venom oozing out if his voice.

"W-What are you talking about?"

"I saw that little make out session of yours. So just quit the crap and get out of my house." she looked up at him, with such confusion in her eyes, that Kaiba really would have believed she was clueless as to what he was saying, but he was all the wiser now. " I don't need a whore for a future wife. I need you out. Screw what Mokuba says. You can marry that boyfriend of yours and your mother should be happy." he could say nothing else to her before he felt her hand on his cheek, making painful contact. SLAP!

" How dare you? Do you even know what was going on? He was a complete stranger, I didn't know who he was, but he just started kissing me. You left, but had it been anyone else but me they could be being raped right now. You are a total idiot, you assumed before you had that facts, and that's foolish. I never thought… you're just… argh!" she yelled at him unable to put her thoughts to words, and stomped upstairs to the bedroom they shared.

This took him a little time to process. He'd just been slapped… by Tea Gardner. Okay maybe he had been wrong to yell at her like that without knowing the facts, but still. He shuddered at the words she had said before. Imagine the man had actually raped Tea. Seto Kaiba had never really felt stupid in his life, but he did now. He didn't know what was happening to him, but he felt something for this girl, yet, what?

" Tea?" he said walking into the room, a while later.

" Come back to call me a whore again?" she asked, looking at him. All the fire gone from her eyes. It was a plain blank stare.

" Look I shouldn't have said that."

" But you said it anyways."

" What was I supposed to think? Seeing you in a lip lock with someone else?"

"You know you're making it sound as if you care."

" Maybe I do"

" What?"

" I'm not all that good at apologizing here, but I'm giving it my best."

" I don't need-"

" Just shut up. I don't know what but, but there's something about you that drives me crazy." He mumbled getting dangerously close to her. " And…" he trailed off the look in his eyes so soft. " I guess we should pack then?" ha quickly said, standing up, and changing the subject. Tea would have pushed but what he said made a little hope sparkle in her eyes.

" For what?"

" The trip to the beach tomorrow."

" We're going?"

" Yah." He said, turning around to go out the door, but then he came back towards Tea and whispered in her ear. " Pack something sexy, if you dare… the bet is still on you know." and with his famous smirk gracing his lips he left.

She didn't know what it was with him, first cold then suddenly hot. She was touched by the fact that he had tried to apologize, but she knew she couldn't let him get to her, she was not going to go falling for Seto Kaiba. Though for now, she could go shopping with Mai for that certain sexy thing that Kaiba was referring to, she'd give him exactly what he was looking for if not more…
