Chapter Eight

Seto asked the Pilot "to radio ahead to the tower and let them know when they would be landing so that there would be an ambulance waiting to take Tea right to the Hospital." Tea was resting because it was a very stressful day for her and she would need all the strength it would take to have the Doctors measuring and fitting her with an artificial leg and then the therapy to be able to use the leg and learn to walk again. She should have been scared shitless, but she wasn't because she knew that she would have all of her friends especially Seto and Mokie to help her through all of it.

When the plane landed they transferred her to the ambulance and again Seto was with her while Mokie went home with their luggage. At the Hospital Tea was taken to her own private suite where Doctor Johansson was waiting to meet her and to asset what damage was done to her leg. While he was examining her, Seto was on the phone to Kaiba Corp to find out what if anything had happened and then he called Yami and "told him where Tea was and to ask if the others could wait till tomorrow to visit because she was really tired and needed her rest."

Yami told Seto "I understand and I will tell the others, just let her know that we are all thinking of her." Seto told him that he would.

The Nurse told Seto that "he could go back in that the Doctor was through." Doctor Johansson was telling Tea " the damage isn't as bad as it looks and I think that you should be able to adjust to the artificial leg very well."

Tea was shaking and Seto took her hand in his and it seemed to help. She then said to the Doctor "my dancing career is all over isn't it?" The Doctor said " yes it is for the kind of dancing that you're use to, but it doesn't mean that you can't teach dance to others."

Tea had tears in her eyes as she thought about the ones that didn't make it and Doctor Johansson excused himself and left. Seto lowered the rail and took her into his arms and she started crying and then she was shaking so badly that he thought that she'd shake herself apart. "Tea honey, you need to stop crying it's tearing me apart." Seto whispered to her. She looked up into his eyes and then she said "thank you for being here for me, I don't think I could of handled it by myself."

Seto leaned down and kissed her and then he said "where else would I be when you needed someone, Tea I love you and will always be here for you." Tea held tightly onto to Seto as she tried to stop crying, and soon she cried herself to sleep. Seto held her for a while longer and then he laid her down and sat there by the bed. She was the most important thing in his life and he was going to prove it to her.

The next day all of her friends were there and they all gave her hugs and kisses. As they visited they all laughed and cried and gave thanks that she was going to be alright. Mai gave her a present that was from all of them and when Tea opened it there was a necklace that said Friendship Forever on it and on the back all their names were inscribed. Tea thanked them all for the necklace and Mai put it on her. No one wanted to bring up the accident but Tea knew that it would help her if they all knew and so she told them.

When she was finished they all were crying again because they all knew how close they came to losing her. Soon it Visiting Hours were over, and they told her that they would be back tomorrow. They all gave her a kiss and then they left. Seto was coming off the elevator as they were leaving and Joey walked over and said "we all want to thank you for being there for Tea, we know that you love her and we just want to let you know not to ever hurt her again." Seto and Joey stood there toe to toe when Seto offered his hand to him and he said "I'd rather die then to make her cry again and that's a promise." They shook hands and then they left. Seto went to Tea's room and went inside. As he opened the door she was looking at the pictures of the Troupe that she danced with and tears were running down her face. He knew that she needed to come to grips with what happened but it still tore at his heart to see her cry.

Tea looked up and there was Seto and she wiped her face and tried to put on a smile for him. Seto walked over and gave her a kiss and she showed him the beautiful necklace that they gave her and he smiled and said "that's the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen." Soon it was time for her to go to bed and Seto pulled over the chair and sat down and he turned off the lights and she asked "could you please leave them on?" Seto turned them back on and they went to sleep.

Please R&R.
