I, he probably has the wrong idea! I don't want him getting in any trouble when he just got back on the team! She quickly made her resolve as she turned to him. "I, he, well...I'm not going to lie to you. Something happened in the library a few days ago when I fell asleep and I'm trying to figure out who did it. OK, that sounds way to vague and strange...but someone kissed me. Kaiba was...he said he was the one that did it." She clarified, it obvious she was not prepared to discuss so suddenly but her focus was not on herself. "I was looking for him to ask him and he was telling me! So please, don't think he was doing anything weird...well no, this was weird still wasn't it?" She rambled. "Just, please don't get upset or anything

Are you fucking kidding me? Why do you care if I get upset and fuck yes what he did was weird! You can't just, why are you so oblivious!? "What do you mean don't get the wrong idea?" Atem raised a brow, the cool smile back in place as he turned his attention back to Kaiba. "Huh..." His expression dropped as Kaiba stood there with her elbow in hand. The silence between them was awkward and palpable. Rei had gone searching for Terry when there was no response to her texts. She had managed to overhear the comments from Terry and quickly pieced together that something was definitely was about to go down.

Oh shit, this doesn't look good at all! Does Yami like her? Oh crap...this is bound to cause trouble. She glanced at Terry who took note of her with a quick nod but motioned to not do anything. As the tension built between them, reaching a peak, everyone turned to Kaiba who let out a sigh.

"I was kidding." He dropped her elbow and sighed again as he straightened up.

"Eh?!" Terry looked up at him as Atem raised a slight brow as he walked down the aisle towards Atem.

"It wasn't me. I just happened to see it. Right when he kissed you." He stopped and looked at her over his shoulder before turning and walking past Rei who stood there mouth agape. Terry stood there frozen in her spot as she tried to register everything that was going on when her legs moved her and she ran out from between the shelves.

"Who?!" She called out to him.

"I don't want to tell you." He stopped and turned to look at her. "It's not that I couldn't tell you. I just don't want to." With those simple words he turned right back around. "Don't make anymore noise or I'll kick you out of here." He simply admonished her and resumed his duties.

It wasn't him...but then why did lie and say he did it? Was he really going to kiss me?! I don't get him at all. Was it because I complimented him? Does he not do well with compliments? She frowned, her eyebrows furrowed as she wondered about what this could all mean. Atem watched Terry from behind, noting how confused she was about all this and opened his mouth to speak but Rei beat him to it.

"That was...so it wasn't him? I could've sworn it was. I mean yeah he isn't a romantic, but he even went so far as to lie about it?" She frowned and turned to Atem. "What brought you here?"

"Oh, Atem!" Terry quickly turned to look at him only to be met with a light thump of the side of his hand hitting her head. "What was that for?"

"For being so damn vulnerable and doing shit on your own! Guys aren't innocent and people do shit...you going to let every guy who said he kissed you kiss you?" He scolded her. "Why didn't you tell me this was bothering you?"

"I figured you'd just make fun of me or something." She pouted as she rubbed the spot. "You didn't have to hit me for it.

Yes I did you idiot. "Yeah, so? I'd make sure you were safe though! Honestly, I have my hands full with you more than you with me!" He shook his head lightly as his shoulders slumped a bit.

"Yeah well...what are you doing here? Don't you have practice now?" She looked up at him.

"I wasn't feeling too well." He shrugged so I was on my way to the nurse's when I thought I'd check up on you." He said with a slight wave of his hand. "I was just in the area." He stressed.

"Oh, well thanks for coming. I didn't know what to right then. I was seriously about to hit him if he hadn't stopped!" She sighed with obvious relief.

"You were going to hit Kaiba?! Oh man, I wish you had! That would've been worth something!" Rei laughed off, hugging Terry. "And here I said I was going to make sure that nothing weird happens." She frowned apologetically to Terry who dismissed it with a wave.

"Well now we know it isn't him and that he won't help us find out who it is." Terry sighed, Atem watching the two and chuckled a little to himself.

"Just give yourself a break for today. You're still a girl and these things aren't simply brush off matters. Go read a book, I'll see you after practice." He nudged her towards the shelves and left the library before he no longer could control the urge to hug her.

"I hate to agree with him, but he has a point you know?" She turned to Terry at this. "I'm sorry you still don't know who it is, but maybe we should give the hunt a little break. I mean this was your first kiss."

"First? Oh no, it's not." Terry quickly clarified. "Though...I suppose my first technically should not really count that much either." She laughed, scratching the back of her head.

"Well, even if it was your hundredth kiss! It's still a kiss and whoever did this is just giving you more trouble cause now we know whoever saw may just end up lying to you. Though I don't get why he went out of his way to lie to you." She grumbled as the two returned to their table. "I mean who does that? It was probably him just getting back at you for the other day too! He took your kindness for granted." She concluded aloud, but it all did not sit well with either of the two girls.

"Yeah, who knows? He isn't giving the answer anytime soon either." Terry sighed as she picked up the book she was reading but turned to Rei. "Thanks, for being here...and helping me."

"Like Yami said, you're still a girl and yeah you lived an odd life but these things are still important you know? Maybe not life shattering like for some, but still it's something intimate and it's violating to some degree." Rei softly smiled and placed a hand over Terry's. "You've been wracking your brain alone and just focusing on the facts, I think now other implications are just settling in." Terry silently listened to Rei, biting at her lower lip a bit.

"It isn't life shattering...but not knowing is definitely troubling me." She whispered, not really she how to verbalize her feelings anymore and was grateful that Rei did not press the matter either as they sat in silence reading their own books.
