Tea awoke hours later, this time her mind being alert. She seemed to have forgotten about the events that occurred the previous day momentarily. From the open door to her guest room, the brunette saw a head of raven-black hair peek in quickly and then disappear.

Realizing that there was only one person with said hair-coloring, Tea shouted after him, getting up from the bed. "Mokuba – WAIT!"

Footsteps came towards her bedroom door, and Tea waited, expecting Mokuba. What she did not expect was Kaiba. He walked in, his intimidating cold aura brought along with him and the ends of his white trench coat... wait. Where was his trench coat?

Now that the girl straightened her position, she realized that Kaiba was wearing his usual black pants and a... navy polo. Tear gasped in awe. The lack of a trench coat made him look even more admirable. His brunet hair was brushed to the side, looking decent and the same as usual. His features even more distinct than usual without his trench coat taking attracting the most of the attention to his appearance.

Lost in surprise, Tea didn't realize that Kaiba was standing on the wall across from her, leaning against it casual. He was looking at her with an amused expression – a smirk playing on his lips. It seemed he was about to make some sort of remark when another man strode in – attired in a business suit; all but the coat which was taken the place of by a white lab one (coat) instead.

"Good morning, Miss Gardner," the man announced as he walked in and towards her bed.

"...good morning?" Tea asked, confused.

Realizing her expression, the man offered explanation and continued. "I am Mr. Mitsuo. I am the Kaiba's personal doctor, and have been required with the task of caring after your health while you are here. You had a sever case of pneumonia, and it is usually required that pneumonia victims spend at least two to three weeks under special care."

Tea nodded, dizzy.

Mr. Mitsuo performed a couple routine checks on Tea – blood pressure, heart beat, temperature... He then deemed her to be progressing well.

Just when Tea was about to ask him something, he said one last thing.

"Oh and you'll be staying with the Kaibas for the next few days since that would be the only way they -and I- can check on you and provide care."

Well I guess that question's answered.

Staying in Kaiba's house? Seriously? Gah, could this get any worse. Now recalling the blue eyed young man who had watched the check up with the doctor, and was most likely still in the room – since he hadn't left with the doctor- Tea glanced up at the wall across.

To her surprise, Kaiba wasn't there. For some reason, her face fell a slight bit.

"Looking for something Gardner?" demanded a snide voice, coolly.

Tea looked around for the source, and found it to be none other than a couple feet from her bed. Kaiba was leaning with his arms crossed once more, looking bored.

"Kaiba! N-n-no, why do you ask?" she regained her composure. What was wrong with her?

Rather than answering her question, Kaiba told her some more news. "Since you are still too weak-" he sneered the word, "-to go to school, I'll have it dropped off to your room everyday. If you are well enough to go to school next week, then you shall. However, according to Mitsuo, you are required to stay here for at least three weeks." He ended calmly, and then turned to head to the door.

"Kaiba!" Tea called.

He turned, raising an eyebrow inquisitively. "Y-you don't have to do all this... Really, pneumonia... is no big thing. I'm s-sure I can manage thanks. So if you don't mind," she swung her legs over the side of the bed, "-I think I should go now. Thanks for everything."

Ending with that, Tea stood up. Obviously this was a mistake, because she immediately teetered precariously due to her dizzy state, eventually falling...

Thud? The sound that she was expecting never came. Rather, she felt to hands grasping her arms – gently, but firmly.

Kaiba led her back towards her bed and let go as soon as he helped her sit on the bed.

"Thanks, K-kaiba."

"Mh." He walked off.

Gah, what a short chappie... I'll update soon :) Please review!
