Oh, me and Ar are getting married! I am SOOOOOOOOO happy! I'm as giddy as a school girl (lol) (if only you knew)

Chapter 8:

"OK boys. Watch and learn why I'm a member of this club, and he's just a servant!"

All the boys started cheering on their wring leader.

Why, of all the sports in the world, did HE have to be playing this one? Life is sooo unfair!

Tea bounced the ball two times, than gripped it firmly in her hands. OK, I'll fake a turn, than run up and score.

Tea bent her knees and made her move.

Kaiba didn't flinch. He let her score.

"W-What was that?" She asked confused.

"I wanted to see your skill level." He smirked. That smirk was beginning to irritate her.

"Oh, well your gonna regret that."

"I don't think so."

"We'll see."

Tea got ready for the second round. So far, 1-0. She decided to keep her double fake for later, and tried her luck at a single fake again.

She leapt forward.

SMASH!

Kaiba wasn't fooled. He caught her fake, and went against her head on. It took Tea by such a surprise, she stumbled back. Quickly, before anyone could see, he stuck his foot in between her ankles, and made her trip.

He snatched the ball, and scored, while Tea smashed to the ground.

"Hey! Fowl!"

"Fowl? I didn't see any fowl? Did you guys?" He pointed to the other club members. They all shook their heads.

"See. Besides, we never said anything about playing clean."

"Why you"-

"I believe that's my point. Now, let's get ready for the next round."

Tea ground her teeth together, and stood up. Her stomach bruise was beginning to hurt. Damn him!

Now it was his turn to start with the ball.

They got into position. Kaiba bounced the ball once. He made to go left, but stopped in mid movement and threw straight over her head.

He scored.

This is completely unfair! He's just to damn tall! Plus, I can barley stand seeing he beat the snot out of me last night! God damnit! I can't lose to him! Not only will I be starved for three days, I will lose what little dignity I have left!

"1-2! I believe I'm winning."

"The games not over yet Mr. Kaiba."

"Believe me, the game ended a long time ago."

Fine, then I'll have to play dirty too.

The two got back into position.

Kaiba bounced once, he was about to make his second bounce, when Tea thrust herself at him. She slammed into his stomach.

The two seamed to fall in slow motion.

Tea landed on top of Kaiba, her face near his shoulder. He made a sound of annoyance as the ball started to roll away.

"Get off me!"

Tea scurried off. She couldn't believe she just did that! He was so… built.

She had felt every muscle under his tight shirt, made of silk. For a moment, she was lost in him. With him totally unaware of the affect he gave off.

As he got up and straightened his clothes, she ran for the ball. Before he could do anything, she ran to the net and scored.

"You bastard!" He grumbled. "How dare you touch me!"

"I thought we were playing dirty."

"I said unclean! Not gay!"

Tea just shrugged. "Even if it was to win a game, I would NEVER go gay with you!"

"You're such a loser, not even a gay guy would touch you."

Tea squished her lips tight. "All the better for me. Now let's play."

000000000000000000000

Tea sat on the ground huffing. Her arm was going to burst with pain, and she could feel gt her ribs pounding against her flesh.

The score was 9-9 and the two had been playing for forty minutes.

"What's the matter? Tired?" Kaiba stood standing, looking down at Tea. He wasn't huffing, and while Tea was drenched in sweat, a single bead lay on his forehead. Somehow, making him look more attractive.

God damnit! Why does this bastard have to look so good? Couldn't he be ugly? I guess it's as true as they say; Satan's as hot as hell.

"No…" Tea huffed. Her wounds were just dragging her down. She was in no shape, but she was so close to winning. One more round would determine everything.

"Get up. I want to hurry my victory, I have a meeting."

Tea heaved herself up. The single and double fakes don't work against him, and a triple fake is just pointless. I need something new. Something unpredictable. Tea thought back to school, she thought about that one move she had been working on, but the year had ended before she got to use it. It's my only hope. OK, so I do a single fake, false up shot, duck low into a double fake, and turn. Than if all goes well, score!

Tea got into position. Lucky for her, she had made the last goal and was going to start the last round.

She bounced, then…

0000000000000000000000

Tea ran to her room, her head was pounding so hard and she needed a headache relief fast.

She couldn't believe it. He really was a dirty buffoon!

0000000000000000000000

"GOD DAMNIT!" Kaiba smashed his fist down on his desk. He was in such a bad mood, he quit his business meeting.

"How the hell could I lose? To…To… THAT THING! ARGHHHHHHHH!"

Kaiba tented his fingers and leaned his mouth on them. He looked around his office. A large silver and blue room with black furniture and black tint. The black leather couched lay off to the side, beside three bookcases. A large window with drawn dark blue curtains lay off to the side. The window faced the open area of the valleys, leading up to the mountains. He preferred a quiet scenery than the town underway. The stables could be seen close by, but he didn't mind, seeing as it looked more like a miniature plain mansion. It was close enough to watch the riders practice, as he did to pass the time.

Upon the floor lay a smashed paper box. His anger had gotten the better of him, and he had thrown it to the ground. He had a horrible temper. But luckily, he stopped himself before he could cause any more damage.

"Well Seto… it could be worse…God Damnit! No it can't!" He slammed his fist back down on the desk. "What could be worse than that little tweed eating at the same table as me? In the same class! Dear God! Even the apocalypse would be a relief!"

0000000000000000

The rest of the day passed slowly for Tea. The head medicine had helped a little, but now she was feeling drowsy.

"Why did he have to play dirty like that?" She asked herself.

Tea remembered back to the game.

00

Perfect! It worked! Tea ran for the net. Her strategy had made it past Kaiba, and she was a second away from winning.

"Oh no you don't!"

Just when Tea shot the ball in the air, a force pushed her head forward and she fell to the ground. Headfirst, she smashed into the pavement.

Kaiba had in desperation, made a grab for Tea's hand. But dew to her jump, he missed, and her head collided with his elbow.

Everyone stood frozen.

So many things had just happened.

The ball dropped threw the net, Kaiba had just lost his game, and Te was lying motionless on the ground.

"Is he…dead?" Asked a boy in the crowd.

"I don't know." As Kaiba stood staring at the net, his eyes wide in disbelief, boys had started making their way towards Tea.

"He's alive!"

"Just a bump on the head!"

"Come on! Wake him up!"

"I can't believe it! Mr. Kaiba lost!"

"I know! To a servant none the less!"

Two boys carried Tea away, probably to get some ice, as the rest looked back at Seto.

"Mr. Kaiba? Are you alright?" Asked a nervous teenager.

"Get out of my way!" He shouted and ran back into the building. Up to his office.

00

"Fortunately, the bump was on the back of my head and not the front." Since Tea's hair was covering the half of her face that collided with pavement, she didn't suffer any serious scrapes. Just a few scratches high on her forehead.

"You know, it's kinda funny. I didn't even say I wanted to eat with him and the others. He dug his own grave. Should have left it at a game in my opinion."

Tea entered her bedroom and stripped off her uniform. She needed a shower. Besides, she wanted to look good for all those hot guys she was going to eat with tonight, even if they all thought she was a boy.

She decided to wear one of her own outfits instead of the servant gear. Tonight, she was to be a guest.

(Other servants had brought up her luggage from her car, but she had told them not to tell anybody else about it)

00000000000000000

"This is it!" Tea took a deep breath while walking down the stairs. She had left early, seeing the dining room was on the other side of the mansion.

Tea wore a pair of loose dress jeans, and a black and grey zippy sweater. At first, she was wondering if she was supposed to wear a tux, but a fellow meal time servant told her they all wore casual clothes at dinner. Except when it was a party or they had a dinner guest. She thought they wouldn't consider her as a dinner guest, so she just put on her nicest casual clothes. Tea remembered back to lunch when they were all wearing smooth indoor jackets and crisp shirts.

But than again, lunch was a board meeting. They had to be fancy at that.

00000000000

"You what?"

"Hey! I didn't mean for it to happen!"

"But it did!"

"Than you tell that little snot to"-

"For Pete's sake! The club house is more than a club! It's a giant business! Our reputation is built on the fact that we always keep our deals and promises!"

"A bet isn't a promise!"

"That's bullshit! Of course it is!"

"Well than, just go with the flow if you want to keep it like that!"

"But that's not the point! Te's a servant!"

"Exactly!"

"Godamnit Seto! What kind of mess did you pull us into this time?"

The seven high members all sat at the long dining table. It could fit about fifty at the least, but they all sat close to one end.

"How was I supposed to know he was that good at basketball?"

"That's the point! You don't know a thing about him! None of us do! Te didn't come here with a file, he could be anything! We've all gone over this! For all you know, he could be a runaway child convicted of murder!"

"Not Te." Said Ryou.

"Hmmm…well still! He doesn't need to know any more information about us than he already has! He's not on our level! I know how you feel Ryou, but he's a servant for Christ's sake! We shouldn't get close to people like him! They all end up the same! Dead or in prison."

"That's not true!"

"The point is, eating dinner with us may get him more comfortable than he needs to be or more knowledgeable about us. I'm already stressing the limits by letting Ryou and Yugi be friends with him."

Ryou and Yugi blushed embarrassedly as the other members stared at them.

"But…he's really nice."

"Yeah, but"-

The doors to the dining room opened.

There stood Tea as nervous as you could be, staring shyly all around.

He was still out of earshot, so Yami whispered quietly to the group, "Just don't let any confidential information slip. And be polite! But more importantly…BEHAVE!" He whispered harshly glancing looks at Bakura and Marik.

"Come in Te! Have a seat!" Yami motioned to the empty chair between Ryou and Bakura, across from Marik.

Tea slowly walked to the chair and sat down.

She looked at everyone's clothing.

Fewf! Thank god! No suites or jackets! But man, do they look expensive! The majority were wearing jeans, but a few had leather and one had cargo pants. All there shirts were clean and flashy. Some barely even considered shirts.

She looked at Mr. Ishtar in front of her. He was staring absentmindedly at her with a small smirk. God! Does everyone smirk around here? She noticed that he, a man, was wearing a beige belly top with gold chains!

What the hell? Why would he wear such a thing? But I will admit, it does make him look very sexy…

Ryou was wearing a blue striped vertical shirt, while Bakura was wearing a blue striped horizontal shirt.

No one was talking. Everyone was just staring at Tea. All except Kaiba. He was staring at his plate with a scowl on his face.

OMG! Is he-Is that? Holy cow! Kaiba is wearing…CLOTHES! I mean, he was always wearing clothing, but nothing normal! Always something so fancy and expensive looking! But now…he's wearing regular clothing! Stuff even I can relate too!

Kaiba was wearing purple cargo pants and a white and purple chunked shirt. Tea had to admit it. He looked soooooo sexy!

Tea's face turned red and she quickly ducked her face.

Finally, after a century of silence, the kitchen door opened and food trays began piling out.

"Dinnair is sierved!" Said a man with a distinct French accent.

The food was piled high onto the table. Lobster, potatoes, chicken, pasta, rice, sushi! You name it, it was all there!

God! I have found my Valhalla!

Tea was too shy to rip right into the meal. She waited until most of the members started loading their plates.

When that was done, she grabbed a lobster tail, pasta and sushi to start off.

"So Te, where are you from?" Asked Mr. Ishtar, breaking the silence.

Tea was still shy around these guys, but she figured no harm could come of it, so she swallowed whatever the hell she just stuffed in her mouth and answered. "Domino."

"Oh, I see… High school?"

"Domino High."

"What year?"

"I'm headed into my last."

"Early graduation?"

"Huh? No."

"But, you can't be in twelfth grade."

"Why not?"

"Did you skip a grade?"

"No, but… why are you asking me this?"

"Well, it's just, we all assumed you were, I dunno, younger."

"Younger?"

"Yeah, you look kinda small to be graduating next year."

"Oh really? Well, what about you guys?"

"Well, we have a different school system here in Saffron Village. We all graduated in spring. Even though we really should be graduating this year like you."

"Oh…so we're all the same age?"

"I guess so."

More silence continued as Tea continued to eat her food.

"Man Te, you sure eat a lot!"

"Mfh?" Tea looked up from her plate. Her mouth was stuffed full of what was once considered egg fu young. (DON'T FLAME ME ABOUT MY BAD SPELLING GRAMMER!)

"Better slow down or you might choke." Said Yugi laughably.

"In other words, keep eating." Said Kaiba darkly from the other end of the table. Bakura, Duke and Marik snickered into their own food. Tea felt a blush creep up.

Yami gave a dark glare over to the four delinquents.

The meal carried on in silence. Something told Tea this wasn't normally what went on at dinner, but her presence was making them nervous. She had stopped stuffing her face and was now just picking at her food. She snuck a glance around the table.

Most were just eating their food quietly.

She noticed some fidgeting beside her. She turned to where Bakura was sitting. He was doing something under the table cloth, and sending secret hand messages to Marik who seemed to be holding a smile. Tea leaned to the side to see what he was doing.

"What are you?"-

Bakura quickly held a finger to his lips. "Shhh…Just watch." He whispered. In his hand, he held an elastic and a few frozen peas.

He expertly wrapped the elastic around two fingers, making a slingshot. He placed a pea, and-

"Ouch! Who did that?" Kaiba glared angrily all around. Bakura had just flung a pea at Kaiba's nose.

Tea quickly ducked her head to hide her giggles. Marik did the same, and Bakura rested his mouth in his hand.

Everyone looked curiously at Kaiba.

"Who just flung a pea at me?" He asked angrily. No one answered.

With a final huff, he sat back down. Bakura loaded another pea.

"Damnit! I said to stop!"

Bakura had shot Kaiba again, but this time hit his forehead. Tea quickly stuffed mashed potatoes in her mouth to stiffen her laughter.

It didn't help that Kaiba glared particularly at Tea.

"Maybe you should keep your eyes open wider." Said Marik. In response, he got a death glare that would send a dog running with his tail between his legs.

Tea peeked at Kaiba threw her bangs. He was sitting low and slowly staring around the table looking for the culprit. He startled her when he caught her staring. She quickly looked away.

He squinted his eyes.

Tea brought her new attention back to the other members at the table. She noticed now that not only were their heads ducked, they were all quietly shaking with laughter. Some more than others.

Finding no one, Kaiba looked back down at his plate.

Tea picked up her glass of water and was just starting to drink it when.

"Who's the bloody bastard who keeps doing that!"

Tea sprayed water out her mouth and nose. Others snorted and coughed on sushi, while the rest fell off their chairs.

This time, Bakura had hit Kaiba in the eye and he was on a total rampage now.

"If no one fucking confesses, I'll just have to kill you all one by one until someone does!"

It was no use. They all knew Kaiba couldn't do that. It was an idle threat to them, so they continued laughing.

Tea tried wiping her drink from her face.

Kaiba's face was turning red.

"It's all your fault isn't it!" He said jabbing a finger at Te. "You're the smart ass bastard who's fucking off!"

"What? No! I didn't"-

Everyone had stopped laughing now and was staring at the scene before them.

"Spare me the shit! You're always the one causing the problem when I'm around!"-

"Calm down Seto." Bakura slid an arm loosely around Tea's shoulder. Like an older brother defending the younger one. "You have no proof. Te didn't do anything wrong. Besides, it was Marik shooting the peas."

Across the table, pop spayed everywhere and choking sounds could be heard.

"W-What! ME? No, it was Bakura!"

"Why would I do such a thing?"

"Because you're you!"

Tea wasn't sure, but… the two really didn't seam that outraged with each other. In fact, it almost seemed as if… they were rehearsing a skit.

They probably blame each other for everything, get into a fake fight, and get let off the hook because no one can stand their fighting. Hmmm… these two are smart. Probably best friends too. Especially from what I saw earlier… Thankyou…

"Being me has nothing to do with it!"

It was all overly dramatic to Tea, and she could see the smiles they shed behind their fake argument.

"You, good sir, are a fat ugly buffoon!"

"And you, Monsieur are a flat nosed pig!"

"That's enough! Which one of you did it this time?" Kaiba asked angrily, but his voice was dismissed as Bakura and Marik continued their fake argument.

"You molest cows!"

"And you rape chickens!"

"At least that means I'm a man." The two had now risen to their feet.

"Are you implying that I'm a woman?"

"No. I'm implying that you're a bitch!"

"How dare you!" Bakura picked up a handful of rice and threw it straight in Marik's face.

"You whore!" Marik picked up the peas, and threw them, bowl and all, at Bakura. It hit home. The pees got in his snowy white hair, but luckily the bowl flew past him.

Everyone watched in amazement as the two friends each picked up a handful of mashed potatoes.

The stared at each other and started a count down to throw. "Three…Two…ONE!"

Just as they both brought back their hands to shove mash potatoes in their opponents face, they both changed the direction of their hands. The mashed potatoes aimed straight for Kaiba's face and hit him dead on.

"Insolent bastards!" Kaiba picked up the lobster, ripped it in two and flung a half at each bastard.

The food fight had begun. Marik and Bakura had both ducked, sending the flying food to hit Yami and Duke. In response, they threw what was ever left on their plates at Kaiba. Marik and Bakura teamed up and drenched Ryou in gravy. Ryou shook his hair getting gravy everywhere. Yami threw bread balls at Yugi who didn't dodge a single one properly. Duke snuck behind Marik, picked him up and threw him, into the chicken.

Food was everywhere.

Maybe if I sneak out under the table, I won't-

Too late.

Bakura had found Te shrinking away and grabbed her.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Ummm…bathroom?"

Bakura took Te in a headlock, and shoved the bowl of pasta on her. Tea heard him laugh evilly. She couldn't help it. She laughed too. The whole situation was just too funny. She inhaled a couple pasta pieces as she got the sauce down her shirt.

When he finally let go, Tea took the rest of the tomato sauce and threw it all over Bakura.

"You little"-

He took the meatloaf and threw it at Tea. She ducked and it hit Ryou.

The rest of the dinner continued on like this.

000000000000000000000

AC: Wow! That was somewhat sort of funy! Yeah! I did my speech today!

Guess what? I did horrible! Yeah! I stuttered, I forgot, I was too fast but who cares! I did it and I did it proud! When I finished, I was in such a good mood, I made pictures for this story! But more importantly, I made scenery for it! Yeah! You will see it soon enough! I love the scenery!

I know you'll love it! Me want fanart! If you give me fanart, I'll give you fanart! That simple! Yeah!

By the way! In my story, Tea says this really sweet line that I just adore! And I totally made it up myself! I will now be quoting it a lot! You can too, but ya'll have to give me some credit!

"Satan's as hot as hell." SQUEAL! Loving it!
