Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen Angel 2: Secrets, Secrets ❯ Up In The Air ( Chapter 3 )

Hey Everyone! I'm back from Mexico! It was so beautiful at the resort, and the people(except the hagglers) were so nice. Anywho, I missed my computer. So, since I'm skipping school today, I thought that I'd write some more for you guys.(I'm a baaaaad girl. O.o)

~Where were we?(authoress refers to previous chapters.....I think I got it.)~

xoxoxoxoxo

They finally got off the plane at around eleven am, Domino time. Like usual, Mokuba sped ahead, trying to shield himself from his brother and 'sister's' mushy moments. Tea was causing an issue at the moment, clad in a blue eyes tee and a pair of jeans, while her boyfriend was standing next to her in his normal Battle City outfit.

"Hey Seto?"

"What?" He looked down at the girl.

"How long do you think that it'll be a secret about us?"

"Twenty two seconds if you start....now." Tea giggled lightly.

Twenty one seconds later.

"Who is she, Mr. Kaiba?"

"Who's the lucky lady?"

"What have you been doing in New York?"

"Is she just some sex toy for your amusement?"

"Hey Seto, you lied. It was only twenty one seconds." He smirked at her. This caused the press to start asking her questions.

"Are you dating him?"

"How does it feel to be close to a Kaiba?"

"Do you have anything to do with Mr. Kaiba's sudden change of attitude?"

"What's your name sweetheart?"

Kaiba rolled his eyes, a bit of his arrogant flare returning. "Maybe you people should keep contacts in New York City." Kaiba paused, checking to make sure that she was still next to him. "This is my girlfriend, Tea Gardener."

"As in Tea Gardener of White Lightning? Yugi Motou's friend? The one involved in the capture of MalKida?"

"Yeah." The girl smiled, brushing a strand of auburn hair out of her face. "Exactly. Now if you don't mind, we'll talk to you all later. I'd like to go get settled in." Standing outside on the end of an airport runway was seriously messing up her hair. As her boyfriend preceded, she felt eyes upon them. This reminded her of her dream. One she'd very well like to forget.

By the time the threesome had escaped the hoards of people after them for a comment or a display of affection, they all got in Kaiba's favorite black Cobra, which he revved up and sped onto the streets of Domino.

"Hey Seto, guess who's on that street corner," Mokuba said. "Or you could try to hit them or something."

"Nah, they aren't worth my time." He looked at the passenger in the front seat of his car. "Tea, do you have an idea? They are your friends, are they not?"

"We could always...."

"Why not? They'd find out eventually."

"Hopefully they won't think that we're horny teenagers."

"Seto, you are a horny teenager. I'm twenty. Remember?"

"Ha ha ha. I thought you liked that," He gave her a smile.

"TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" Mokuba yelled. "ANY MORE AND I'M GONNA GO BLIND AND DEAF!"

The foursome on the corner turned and stared.

"Uh, Yuge, was that Mokuba that I just heard?" Tristan asked. Mokuba lowered the car window.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey Mokuba, Kaiba. Sup?" Yugi asked, not seeing her in the front seat. She leaned forward to get a good look at the boy who was now 5' 7", and didn't look like a dwarf. Joey was the next one to approach the car, with Mai.

"Nothing," Mokuba responded.

"Who's da perty girl, Kaiba? Is dat ur rouma'd girlfriend?"

Kaiba gave Tea a look. She nodded, spinning around to face the group. "Yeah Joey. Where's your girl?"

"I'm right here, Sugar. How could you forget about me? I was the first one to cause numerous problems in battle city." She tossed her hair back.

"Ahh, Mai Valentine. How could I forget the girl who stopped by my house?" He smiled in a devilish fashion. Mai got really nervous with Joey breathing fire down her neck.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU STOPPED OVA AT KAIBA'S HOUSE? YA NEVER TOLD ME N YOU SAID DAT YOU DID NOTHIN SPECIAL IN NEW YORK. DAT WOULD BE IN DA SPECIAL CATAGORY!" Joey nearly screamed at Mai, while the rest of the group stared in shock.

Tea quickly drew out her cell phone. "Hey Rowland, I know this is sudden, but I need a ride to the mansion. Your boss is being his old self again." There was a pause. "Thanks, you rock." Tea ended her call while Kaiba sat there, in his cobra snickering. Mokuba was surprised at the attitude that he was giving Tea, who happened to be his girlfriend's, friends. He apparently was paying attention, because when the limo pulled up to the side of the cobra, he had it figured out.

"What the f--- is going on here?"

Mai was nearly in tears, for fear that Joey'd break up with her,

Mokuba was shocked at the way this was turning out,

and

Seto Kaiba was laughing as if it were funny.

Tea slapped him across the face. "That's for being an asshole." Joey and Tristan both 'oohed', not noticing who it was that was giving him that slap.

"What did I do?" He asked, nursing his soon to be bruise on his face.

"Don't play stupid, Kaiba, that richboy attitude doesn't work with me. You should know that I fucking would like my friends treated with respect. You're doing the same thing that made me hate you in battle city."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"So now you hate me."

"No."

"It's not my fault you're some picky bitch who's parents died. You just wished for someone who understands, because no one wants you. Most of them run the risk of being killed anyway." Kaiba immediately knew that that didn't happen right. Tea got out of the car, and into the limo, leaving a single tear in her wake.

"Kaiba, wow, you really screwed up that time." Mai said.

"Yeah Kaiba, why'd you say that?"

"You numbskulls don't get it. That was Tea."

A pin could've dropped in New York, and the world would've heard it.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS TEA? YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" Tristan yelled at the brunette.

"Yeah, I know."

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

The idea of running away planted itself into Tea's mind. And this time she didn't plan on coming back. Why should she, if Kaiba wasn't going to change. She knew that she'd do something drastic then, so getting it over with was probably the easiest thing to do. She grabbed her suitcases, checked everything over, then ran up to her boyfriend's bedroom.

Dear Mokuba and Seto,

This is interesting to find isn't it? Anyway, I wanted to let you know that

this is the end of the line, Seto. I wasn't feeling it today. You knew damn

 well that this was going to happen. By the time you read this, I'll be gone.

Sorry Mokuba, I feel bad. This isn't your fault.

Tea

Tea also left a challenge. It was written in red lipstick on a Victorian mirror.

If you love me, prove it.

Tea then went downstairs, into the garage, and picked herself a vehicle.

~Meanwhile~

Mai was doing the exact same thing. She called Tea. They were going to meet over at Kaiba's, and get out of the town. They wanted out for a while, seeing as their men were being fools. Mai had tried to explain to Joey, but Kaiba wasn't helping at all.

~Also~

"Hey Mokuba, is Tea's cell phone on?"

"Yeah."

"Why won't she answer me?" Kaiba asked. "She was always the one who tried to make up when we fought."

"She's also the one who ran away to New Jersey and had you become a total meltdown. Something in Kaiba's head clicked. They were all at the game shop.

"Wheeler, call Mai."

"Why should I do something like that?"

RingRingRing!

Yugi answered the phone. "Kaiba, it's for you," He said, handing it to him.

"Hello?.....What do you mean?........My mirror? What are you talking about Rowland?" There was a long, deadly pause. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE?....SHE WHAT?..... SHE TOOK MAI WITH HER? SHIT!"

Joey dropped the glass he was holding, letting it shatter on the floor.

 Kaiba hung up the phone a moment later, his breathing quicker. "Damn it."

"For once Kaiba, I agree." Joey looked at the shattered mess on the floor. "What do we do?"

"Go see what Mai left you. If they're together, it'll be easier. They stole one of my cars."

"What one?"

"An Escalade."

"Everyone in the free world drives one of those!" Joey slammed his fist into the wall.

"Joey, Kaiba, why don't you go to your homes. Mokuba can stay here with me and Tristan. You have to go find them."

"Yeah Seto, how are you gonna settle and do what we talked about?" Mokuba asked.

"I don't know. But before this is over, I will." Kaiba paused, walking out the door. "Come on Wheeler. I'll give you a ride."

"Alright Kaiba." When they left, together, the world seemed to collapse before the trio left in the game shop.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

"Tea, where are we going?" Mai asked her friend. She had said nothing for an hour, though she had a general idea.

"Tokyo." She snapped. "Sorry, I'm a little on edge because of this whole S...Kaiba thing."

"I know you are. I thought Joey was going to break it off with me."

"After everything you've been through, no."

"Well look at what you told me. It doesn't seem like you're going to be together much longer."

"I hope we are. It took us forever to fess up."

"How are we going to know if they prove that they love us?"

"They'll do something huge. Worldwide. Besides, I have a contact."

"Who?"

"Mokuba Kaiba."

"What?" Mai stared at her friend. "Doesn't Kaiba have a chance at finding out?"

"No. Because he's using my old cell phone. I have a second, new one that I use. The bills both go on my account, which isn't under 'Tea Gardner.'

"Why not? That is your name."

"No, it isn't. There's a long story behind that. My name is really Katelyn Teana Gardner Reilly. They used to call me 'KT.' So, if you don't want to be found, do me a favor, gimme your middle name, then first, then use your mothers maiden name."

"Alright, I'd be Elise Mai Larusa."

"Perfect. We'll call you 'EM'(sounds like the em in emily) then."

"Then what?"

"We get a hotel room and hang out for a while."

"Which hotel in Tokyo?"

"The most expensive one, duh." Mai laughed.

"Thank God you're loaded." Tea cracked up. God, why do I feel like something's going to happen? Please make this feeling go away!

~Meanwhile~

"Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Kaiba is upstairs in his room. It's the last door on the left side of the hallway, facing you."

"Thanks man." Joey nodded to Rowland, his voice solemn. He was in the worst mood at the moment. Mokuba was at Yugi's house, and Tristan was at his own, trying to find any information about where they could've gone, tracking movement of the dark purple escalade.

Joey, even while looking at the ground, noticed that this was the most amazing house he'd ever seen. It was huger than anything that had been on MTV's Cribs. He knocked once on Kaiba's room's door, opening it quietly.

Life as Joey knew it was coming to a pathetic hault.

Seto Kaiba was crying.

AND~

he had a small ring case in his hand. Joey knew what that was for.

"You really do love her, 'et Kaiba?"

"What are you doing here already?" He threw on the fakest facade anyone ever saw.

"Jesus Christ Kaiba, were you going to propose?"

"Once everyone approved of us being together, yes."

"You ain't the only one." Kaiba was on the bed that he and his girlfriend were to share, and Joey was leaning up against his dresser.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Joey looked down. "There's only one way to fix this."

"What?"

"We'll have to team up and find them."

"Alright." Kaiba stuck out his hand.

"You are aware that they'll never expect this, right?"

"Oh yeah. Us being friends, no way." Joey shook Kaiba's hand. "There's proof right there."

"I'm afraid that we'll need more than that."

"God yeah."

A/N: What did you think? Kaiba and Joey friends? Tea and Mai leaving? Kaiba and Tea fighting? Mokuba? What do you think's gonna happen, when all of the craziest of all things already have?
