A/N: AHHHH! What the heck did I do? I accidentally put the wrong chapter up for four... and I've lost the actual one... great :\
Thanks to... zlborinka for alerting me to that : ) Sorry it took a while to receive your email; I haven't been on this thing in so long... What with all these trips, assignments, and tests happening... it takes a while to have some time to get on. But you guys: wish me luck on my grades and I promise I'll update next weekend too!
Light began to enter Tea's vision, and she blinked rapidly, adjusting to her surroundings.
A cool voice drawled in her ear. "Gardner, you're simply getting annoying now. If you faint again-"
"Big brother!" A younger voice scolded. It's not Tea's fault she isn't feeling well! You can't blame her for that!"
"She shouldn't have been snooping around." He stated simply. He turned to address Tea. "Gardner, if you're feeling well enough to wander around my home, you must be feeling well enough to eat dinner downstairs. From now on, all meals will be served in the dining hall."
He turned to leave when Tea spoke. "Actually, Kaiba, like you said... I feel better now. I appreciate everything you and Mokuba have done for me, but I think I should be going home. It has been over a week, and my parents have probably called the police at least thrice by now."
Out of breath, she quieted when a simple word entered her hearing. "No."
Mokuba spoke up. "Yeah Tea, Seto already called your parents, and besides, the doctor said that he'll need to check up on you for at least another week - so until then you're gonna have to stay here! Isn't that great!"
"Bu-"
"Enough Gardner. For once, accept something without arguing about it. Dinner's in half an hour." And with that, the two strode out. (Kaiba 'strode'; Mokuba had to jog to keep up)
Dinner
Tea glanced at the clock on the wall. It was time for dinner. She sighed, and with a mental let's get this over with she stabled herself beside her bed, and walked (awkwardly) to the door. Eventually, she was halfway down the stairs when she tripped. Instead of contact with the beautiful, rich cherrywood hardwood floor she had been expecting, Tea felt herself embraced in someone's arms. Someone much taller than her. Someone that was now... walking while embracing her?
Looking up, she blushed, and asked nervously, "K-kaiba?"
"Can't even make it down the stairs without tripping can you Gardner?" he asked, an amused smirk playing on his lips.
He brought her to the dining room, setting her in her seat.
A/N:Well... it's gonna go somewhere now. Unfortunately, I had no ideas before... and this is basically how the story's plot had been: /\_________
I added another hill now (albeit a small one) - yayyy : )
Wonder how dinner will go huh? : )
Review, and don't forget to wish me luck :)
