Chapter 2
Tea looked into the mirror at her reflection. Her face was ghostly pale and her eyes were wide with fear and confusion. Her mouth opened and close as she tried to take a breath but it was as though her body had total forgotten how to breathe. Her lungs burned with the need for air and Tea closed her eye trying to concentrate.
She needed to clam down or else she was going to pass out.
"Come on Tea," she thought, "breath, the last thing you need is to faint in the middle of the bathroom floor"
Finally, after what seemed a life time, her lungs took in great gulps of air and she let out a chocking chough, bending over as she greedily breathed in and out.
She looked up at the mirror.
Her face was still pale but a bit of color had returned to her cheeks and now that she was again breathing easily she took a closer look at the mark on her neck.
It did indeed look very much like a bite mark.
Could it be that maybe her dream was more then a dream?
She shook her head. Ok know she was starting to sound crazing. There was no way in hell that her dream was anything more then a dream.
First of all, it was a dream.
Second of all, there as no way that vampires were real!!! It just wasn't possible.
Third of all, IT WAS A DREAM!!!!!
She was probably bitten by a spider or something. Ya that was it, she was bitten by an insect while she was sleeping and was in such a hurry to get to school she didn't notice it when she was getting ready.
She laughed, "Vampires! What was I thinking? Vampires!"
She turned the tap on and splashed her face with water.
"I think I've been watch to many horror movies with Joey."
She dried her face and threw the paper towel into the garbage.
She was still giggling to herself when she turned around and took a few steps toward the
door.
Tea Froze.
There leaning on the wall beside the door was a tall dark figure.
He was tall, probably around 6'1. His body was partly covered by a midnight black cape but she could still tell that he was very well toned. His arms were crossed across his chest showing off well toned arm muscles. Long, lean legs were covered by black pants and boots that ended just under the knee. A sword hung loosely at his waist and Tea could just make out a dagger tied to his belt. A dark hood covered his face but a few pieces of soft, chocolate brown hair could still be seen( AN: Three guess to who it is!!!) but to Tea disappointment his eyes were completely covered in shadow.
Tea breath caught.
He was absolutely gorgeous.
He smirked and took a step forward and only then did she relies that she was still alone in the GIRLS bathroom with some mystery guy with a sword.
Fear slowly crept back into her as she stumbled backwards.
"Who...who are you? What ar... are you doing in he...here" she stuttered.
The man just smirked and took another step forward.
Tea backed up until she hit the wall.
"I'll scream," she said, though it came out more as a chocked whisper, "I swear I'll scream."
His smirk only grew larger and before she could even open her mouth, he was in front of her, his hand placed firmly over her mouth.
Tear welled up in her eyes and she snapped them shut. No she would not show him weakness.
But despite her wishes, a few hot tear leaked out and ran down her smooth skin.
She felt the hand on her mouth tense and she waited for the worst. She had heard stories of how young girls had innocently been in there school bathrooms when men hiding in the stalls had jumped out and raped them. She remembered thinking how that would never happen to her.
Apparently she was wrong.
More tear poured over her cheeks and this time she did nothing to stop them.
She was going to be raped and there was nothing she could do.
Tea was so caught up in her thought that she didn't notice mystery man leaning forward.
Only when he placed a small kiss on her cheek did her eye shoot open and looked up at him confused and full of fear.
He only smiled softly
"Please don't be afraid of me," he whispered softly, "I couldn't stand it if you were afraid of me."
He slowly took away his hand and leaned down to kiss away the remainder of her tears.
Again her eyes closed but this time it was in pleasure not in fear or pain.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!!" her mind screamed, "YOU DON"T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS OR WHAT HE WANTS!!!!!!!"
But Tea's mind seemed to be the only one with an objection to what he was doing. Her body just would pull away.
God she had heard that voice before but where?
It seemed like ages before he pulled away. Her eyes fluttered open and she was met with the most gorgeous blue eyes she had every seen.
He smiled again and Tea felt her heart melt. He again lean forward only to place a soft kiss on the shell of her ear before whispering, "Tea my beautiful, beautiful Tea, soon you'll be mine and mine only."
Tea eyes widened. That was what her dream boy had sa.......
Tea thoughts were cut short when mystery man suddenly placed his lips on hers for a kiss that Tea would remember for the rest of her life.
"My very first kiss," her mind thought through the haze of pleasure.
It seemed like a life time before he pulled away and Tea whimpered for the lost contacted.
He only smiled with what had to be male pride before whispering softly to her.
"I'm coming for you very, very soon my Queen, my Tea,"
He caught her lips once more before reaching up and pressing his figures into the back of her neck.
"I'll see you soon Tea," was the last thing she heard before her world was consumed by darkness.
Tea eyes slowly fluttered open as bright light flooded her vision. Funny she didn't remember it being so bright when she past out. She blinked several time, adjusting her eyes to the light before letting out an agonizing moan when she became aware of the pounding headache she had.
Slowly she sat up but only managed to fall back down when her head was flooded with a mountain of pain.
"Oooohhhh, my head. What the heck happened?"
Memories came rushing back.
Bite mark,..................in the bathroom,...........................a, man.....................
...... kissed me,.........................his voice,..............I'll see you soon Tea.
It was then that noticed the soft pillow her head was currently lying on and the sheets that had been thrown off in her struggle to get up.
She looked around.
She was in the nurse office but how did she get here? The last thing she remembered was passing out in the girl's bathroom.
Her train of thought was cut short when another stab of pain hit her square in the head.
God it was times like these she could really use her extra strength Motrin
Trying to ignore the pain, Tea tried to concentrate on something else, or rather someone else.
Who had that man been? What did he want? Had he been a dream? No it couldn't have, it had felt so real.
She kept playing everything over and over in her head.
Him leaning there on the wall so sexy and mysterious. Him leaning over her, kissing her cheeks, her lips. his sexy voice whispering softly in her ear. His voice...........
Tea shot up ignoring the pain in her head.
His voice!! She new it sounded familiar!
His voice was the same voice that had been haunting her dreams every night for the past few weeks. The same voice that whispered her name softly promising to come and take her away.
She recognized that voice more then she recognized Joey's, Yami's, or even own voice.
That voice belonged to no other then her dream boy!
Tea was tittering on the edge of fainting again when Mai burst through the door into the room.
"TEA!!!!!!!!!! Are you alright?"
Before she could answer, Tea found herself engulfed in a bone crushing hug.
"Mai!" Tea gasped, suddenly finding herself unable to breath.
That seemed to happening to her a lot lately.
"Oh god Tea! When I saw you lying there on the floor, I didn't know what to think."
Mai pulled away to hold her at arms length and looked her in the eyes.
Mai's eyes were bright wit relief and confusion. "What happened?"
Tea smiled and gave a nervous laugh, "Well.....uumm... I guess I fainted."
Mai scowled, "Well thank you Captain Obvious!! But WHY did you faint?"
Tea bit her lip. What the heck could she tell her when she herself wasn't sure what happened.
"Well I'm waiting,"
Tea could tell her best friend was getting a little bit on the agitated side god forbid! Mai was just plain scary when she was annoyed! And considering how her head was now pounding, she new she wasn't up to dealing with a pissed off Mai.
"Uuumm....I a uumm....I guess I haven't been uumm.....eating enough." She said timidly.
Ok so it wasn't the best lie, but it was better then telling her the truth.
Mai would probably have her swept off to see the nearest shrink before the day was over.
Mai opened her mouth to reply but was cut off when the nurse returned to give Tea a once over before giving her the ok to leave.
Tea just hoped Mai would drop the subject before the day was through.
About 30 min later, after 3 things of juice, an apple, a chocolate bar and a handful of aspirin, Tea was happily making her way to her 4th period class.
Mai who was walking beside her was eyeing her suspiciously, like she expected her to drop dead any minute.
Tea sighed, "Mai I'm not going to pass out again so would you chill out,"
Mai huffed, "I can't help it, I'm just worried about you! It's not like you to just pass out in the middle of school. And just so you know, I don't by you whole I Haven't Been Eating Enough story like the nurse did."
Tea let out a deep breath. She had a feeling that would happen. Her and Mai had know each other longer the she and Yami had. They had met in kindergarten when they were each 5 years old and had been best friends since then.
They knew each others darkest fears and deepest secrets and were able to tell when the other was sad or hurt. She didn't know how they could, it was kind of like a sixth sense or something.
They also could tell when the other was lying witch was making this extremely hard.
She hadn't missed the flare of hurt in Mai's eyes when she had lied the first time, she didn't think she could stand it again.
So instead of trying to make her believe her story or make up a new one (witch she really didn't feel like doing) she did the next best thing.
"Hey Mai do you think I could take you up on that offer of a shopping trip after school? I've decided I'd actually like to go to Josh's party tonight."
The moment Tea said 'shopping trip' Mai's face lit up like a light bulb.
"Are you kidding!!? Of course you can!! We can grab Serenity after school and the head over to the mall!! Oh Tea I'm so glade you changed your mind, were going to have so much fun."
Tea could only smile at her friend's enthusiasm as she carried on about how much fun they were going to have.
If there was one thing Mai loved it was shopping.
Tea just hoped she wasn't broke and close to collapsing before Mai was finished with her and Serenity.
IT wasn't until 5:30 that Mai's car finally pulled up and Tea stepped out in front of her house.
"Don't forget I'll be here at 8:30 sharp to pick you up."
Tea rolled her eyes, "Don't worry Mai I won't forget. God forbid we should be late."
Mai only scowled causing Serenity to burst into a fit of giggles.
"Oh Mai take a joke! I'll be ready I promise."
"8:30 sharp." Was her only replay before taking off down the road and around the corner.
Tea laughed as she made her way up the walk way to her front door.
Mai could be too sensitive for her own good.
"Mom, Dad, I'm home."
"Silence was her only answer and Tea frowned as she closed the front door. Funny her parents hadn't mentioned going out tonight.
"Mom, Dad are you home?" again there was no answer and Tea shrugged it off.
As Tea made her way into the kitchen, they're on the kitchen table was a note from her parents.
Dear Tea
Your father and I have gone out for a while. We'll be back around 12:00 so don't wait up.
We have the cell phone if you need us.
Love Mom
P.S. there are leftovers in the fridge that you can have for dinner.
Tea could only smile. Her parents worked so hard sometimes, she was glad they had finally decided to take a break. She hoped they were having a good time.
Making a quick snack, Tea made her way to the den, flopped herself down on the sofa and turned on the T.V.
"Man, Mai sure can shop," she thought as she gave a huge yawn. "She completely wiped me out."
Tea felt her eyes become heavy as the T.V drifted in and out of focus.
"What could a tiny nape hurt?" she thought as she lay down and closed her eyes, and before the next commercial Tea was fast asleep on the couch.
Dream
Tea found herself in an all too familiar dark setting.
The inky dark surrounded every corner of her vision and the all too familiar chill sent shiver running through out her whole body.
But this time Tea felt no panic of fear.
"I know you there," she whispered, "You don't have to hide from me."
A dark chuckle echo from within the darkness and was soon replaced by that dark, sexy voice she new so well.
"It seems that I am unable to keep you in the dark anymore my beautiful."
Tea snorted, "Well I'm not too sure about that. You're doing a pretty good job of it right now."
His dark laughter rang out through the darkness before she felt his strong arms wrap around her from behind and then his voice softly beside her ear.
"I'm sorry my sweet, my beautiful flower, that we must always meet like this, that I must hide myself in the dark from you, but soon, very soon I won't have to hide in the shadows from you any longer."
He buried his face in her hair and took a deep inhaled breathe. "My flower, I love the way you smell."
He leaned down close to her ear, "You smell like fresh rain on a warm spring day." He whispered before he placed a small kiss on the shell of her ear and made his way down her neck leaving small kisses here and there.
Tea shivered. She had to stay focused. She needed answer and he was the only one that could give her them.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Soon my flower, very soon." was her only answer as he continued his torture on her neck.
"Who are you?" she asked again with a little more force.
Her only answer was silence as he made his way back up her neck.
Tea had to hold back a scream of frustration. She was tired of this. She was tired of not knowing what the hell was happening to her.
With all the might she could muster, she shoved him away and turned around.
"WHO ARE YOU?" she cried but was met with only darkness.
'Were did he..' her thought were cut short as again strong arms wrapped around her and pulled her to a firm body.
The air was temporarily knocked out of her as she let out a gasp of surprise.
"Don't do that again Tea," he hissed, "Don't think to deny me what I want. What I have fought so hard for."
Fear surged in her and Tea had to hold back her whimper. Why was dream boy acting like this?
She leaned her head forward. All she wanted to know was what was happening to her? Why was she having these dreams and being attacked by a cloak coved man in her school bathroom? Why she felt the way she felt around them.
To occupied in her thoughts, she barely noticed dream boys hold on her relax.
"Tea," he whispered, his voice pained. "I'm sorry. The last thing I want to do is scary you, I couldn't stand it if you were afraid of me."Talk about déjà vu!
"You were the one in the bathroom weren't you?"
"I think you already know the answer to that question flower."
Yes she did but for some reason she needed him to say it.
"Please tell me," she whispered.
He passed for a second before answering her. "Yes."
Tea let out a sigh, everything was so messed up. She just wanted her old like back.
"Why?" she whispered, "Why are you doing this to me?"
She felt him stiffen as though he had been slapped and felt him pull away and she had to fight the urge to cry out in protest from the lost contact.
"I promise, Tea" he whispered, his voice sounding distant, "I promise I'll tell you everything before the end."
"Before then end of what?" she cried. But already, Tea felt herself being pulled back into reality and out of the darkness of her dreams.
Tea woke with the sound of the telephone ringing and she nearly screamed. Is that what had woken her up? She had been so close to getting the answers!!!!!!
"WHAT!" she screamed into the receiver.
"Tea?" came the cool, relaxed voice of Yami.
"Oh sorry Yami," she said very much grateful that he wasn't here to see her blushing redder then a cherry. "I was just in the middle of something."
"I see," was her only reply.
"Sooooo to what honor do I have to receive a phone call from the great Yami Mutou?"
Yami only chuckled, "Mai told me what happened today, are you alright?"
Tea sighed, good old Mai always looking out for her in any and all the ways she can. She should have expected a phone call from Yami and she was pretty sure she'd be getting one from Joey and Tristan soon enough.
"I'm fine Yami really; I just need to eat more,"
Man she was getting good at the whole lying to the ones you care about thing.
"Are you sure Tea I mean if there's something else you could..."
"No Yami really I'm FINE." She said cutting him off abruptly
"Does it have something to do with your dreams? You can tell..."
"OH would you look at the time!! I'm sorry Yami but I really need to get ready see you at the party bye!!"
"But Te..." Her slamming the phone down cut whatever he was going to say off and Tea let out a cry of despair.
She new it was too much to ask for Yami to drop the whole dream thing. Yami never dropped it!!!!!! Why the heck did she tell him in the first place?
Tea looked over at the clock. 7:15, she really should start to get ready. Mai would kill her if they were late because she wasn't ready on time.
So with a great effort Tea made her way up stairs to get ready for a night she would never forget.
"Tell me again why I decided to come?" Tea asked as her and Mai made there way down the street towards the party.
"Because you depressing excuse for a teenage girl, we're going to have fun."
"I could think of a lot of things that could be more fun," Tea murmured having one particular "thing" in mind.
"What was that Tea? I'm afraid I didn't hear you," Mai asked, the venom ting to her cheerful tone was not lost to Tea and she gulped in fear.
"Nothing Mai, absolutely nothing."
"That's what I thought,"
"The two continued down the street until they heard a familiar Brooklyn ascent calling their names.
"Tea! Mai!"
They looked behind them only to see Joey, Yami, Serenity, and Tristan making their way up the street behind them.
"Man, you two look awesome!" Joey exclaimed.
Tea could see Mai blushing out of the corner of her eye and she could only smile. It was no mystery that the two liked each other but both seem oblivious to the other feelings.
"You're not looking to bad yourself Joey."
Joey gasped and clucked his chest fake pain.
"Not bad!!!!!!" he cried, "I'm down right sexy!!!!!"
A smack over the head made Joey cry out in real pain.
"Man, why'd the hell did you do that Tristan,"
Tristan only rolled his eyes, "Because Mr. Performing arts were going to be late if we're stalled any longer because of what you call acting."
Serenity, who was tucked securely under Tristan's arm, gave a small giggle.
Joey only scowled and began walking away up the street.
"Come on we would want his 'highness' to get lost now would we."
With that the made their way up the street towards Joey who had apparently gotten over his little humph and decided to wait for them.
A sudden winter wind blew and Tea shivered. She didn't know what it was but she had a felling that something was going to happen.
"Tea are you alright?"
Tea turned to only to come face to face with the beautiful violet eyes of Yami.
Tea turned her head away in shame. Yami didn't deserver to be treated the way she was treating him.
"Tea?"
"Yami," she whispered so only he could hear her, "I'm sorry about the way I've been acting lately."
Yami smile, "Tea it's perfectly alr..."
Yami stopped walking abruptly and the smile on his face disappeared.
It was Tea's turn to be confused, "Yami?"
"Tea you Mai and Serenity go on a head, the guys and I forgot to take care of something."
"Huh?"
Tea turned to see that Tristan and Joey had stopped as well and had similar expressions.
Tea turned back to Yami, "Yami what's going on?"
"Just go on with out us, we have something to take care of."
"But Yami..."
"Just GO Tea,"
Tea was taken back; Yami had never used that kind of tone with her before. She looked into his eyes only to see the kindness and gentleness gone from his eyes only to be replaced by a radiant power and the desire to be obeyed. This was not her Yami, this was not her friend.
"Alright Yami," she whispered.
"Good. Joey, Tristan."
And without another word the three guys made their way across the street and into the darkness of the night.
About five minute later Tea, Mai and Serenity made their way up the steps of Josh's house.
"Ladies! How wonderful of you to come." They were greeted bye one Joshes friends. He obviously wasn't too happy about being on 'greeting the guest' duty judging by the forced smile and fringed happiness, "let me get your coats."
Tea slowly took off her jacket, reveling the new navy blue dress she had bought while shopping with Mai, before handing over her coat.
"Go right on in ladies,"
The house was crowded with people so it wasn't surprising that after only two minutes Tea had managed to get herself separated from Mai and Serenity and completely lost in the crowed of people.
'This is perfect,' she thought, 'just how I want to spend my Friday night.'
So caught up in looking for her friends that Tea failed to notice the guy in front of her before it was too late.
SMACK!!!!!!!!
Both Tea and the guy fell to the ground Tea falling right on top of said person.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I should have been watching were I was..."
Tea stopped short when she was met with the sight of magnificent blue eyes.
"It's not entirely your fault; I should have been watching where I was going to Miss..."
Tea found her ability to speak completely gone but somehow managed to chock out her name.
"Tea," she chocked, "T... Tea Gardner."
He smirked, "It's a pleasure to meet you Tea Gardner, and I'm Seto Kaiba."
AC8:DUN, DUN, DUN, DUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dream Boy Relived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what in the world could Yami and the guys rushed of to do??????????? I wonder????????? Huuummmmmmmmm????
Cole (who's in body cast): Dumb woman, you already know what they went to do.
AC8: Shut up spike head, the only reason I didn't pound you into oblivion is because of Jade.
Cole: STOP CALLING ME SPIKE HEAD!!!!!!!!
