Chapter 5

Gone

*^*^*^*^*^

He'd done it. He'd made her cry. But what was worst of all was that he felt like crying himself. It wasn't something that happened that often, but it hit him with a furious display of raw emotion. It killed him, What she said...Yeah I don't know how it is. When my parents died, they took my little sister with them. The anguish on her face was immense. It hurt him just looking at her. This just proved what he knew. Or didn't know. He didn't know a goddamn thing about Tea. And it was killing him. But he was the famous CEO. He never ipologized, because he was supposed to be perfect. But then Tea came into the picture. She seemed so flawless to her. But now she seemed so different from that point of view. She wasn't perfect. She wasn't that cheerful, that happy, that...whatever. He really didn't know what to say. He could say what he wanted to say, but that would be a little over the top and not exactally professional. But this isn't professional. She's my little brother's friend, and mine, until this morning, I guess. What do I do? Ipologizing is for the weak, as Gosaboro would say. But this is Tea I'm talking about, I have to do something.

*^*^*^*^*^

Tea sprinted upstairs to her room. He didn't know about her, so it wasn't his fault. But she felt so mad. She usually just kept her mouth shut, but something came over her. Who am I kidding? He just doesn't get it. Nor will he understand it. I need to get away. I'll just leave for a week. He won't even realize I'm gone. She took a duffel bag and threw random outfits into it, as well as anything she'd need. Then she took out her cell phones and called Leroy.

"Tea, why are you calling?" Leroy asked. "Is there something wrong? Did you tell him yet?" His voice was loaded with concern, as if she was his daughter.

"I had a fight with Seto, and I was wondering if you knew of a place to stay for a while." She seemed stressed.

"I'm going on an investigation in New Jersey. They give me two rooms, and my wife and I share one, so you can have the other. Is that ok?"

"Anything is good for me. Thanks so much. I really owe you for everything you've done for me. Ever since the accident, you really pulled through for me. Where do you want to meet?"

"How about at the train station in about an hour. Alright?"

"Yeah." Tea said, completely sure of herself.

"I'll see you later. Bye Tea."

"Thanks again Leroy. Bye." Both lines went dead. I hope I'm making the right choice. Maybe some time away will make everything easier. I'm not even bothering to tell him. He won't notice. Mokuba will bring it up to him. And by then, I'll be long gone.

*^*^*^*^*^

"Tea?" Kaiba said, knocking on her door. It was open a crack. Maybe she's still sleeping. I know she came this way when she came inside. He shoved the door open a little bit. "Tea I-" No one was in the room. Where the hell is she? He looked around the room. Last night, it seemed so decorated. Her room seems so empty, like something's missing. She couldn't be-she couldn't leave. Could she? He ran out of the room and down the stairs, yelling her name."She's gone." He said, to himself. "I can't believe she's really gone." He threw a glass coffee table across the living room, watching it shatter in a million pieces. He ran upstairs for a trace of anything that she left behind. One thing was left on her desk. His only hope of finding her. That is if it was in her possession. Her cell phone.

*^*^*^*^*^

Rain- Guess what? This is it......................

just kidding : p Back to the story.

*^*^*^*^*^

Kaiba just couldn't understand. She left, no note no, anything. She didn't even let Mokuba know. Why the hell do I care? I don't like her or anything. Still, he felt bad. He might be a CEO and all, but he did hurt her. If it was any other subject than this, things would be different, yet, it had to be the one thing they had in common. He could relate, except this would be the worst variation of the way his life could have been. Compared to her, he realized, I've been lucky. Damn lucky.

"Seto, Tea, good morning!" Mokuba said cheerily, stampeding down the stairs. He took one look at the living room, then looked at his brother. "What happened Seto?" The boy asked, sitting on his big brother's lap. "You look so upset."

"Tea...." He said, not wanting to continue. He couldn't lie to his brother.

"What? Did she get mad about last night? If she did, tell her it wasn't a big deal. No one cares." The little boy said, snuggling into his brother. Seto wasn't one for displaying emotions, even to his brother. So it surprised Mokuba when Seto hugged him back, with a gentle intensity.

"See, I said something Mokuba. I kind of, well I hurt her." Seto seemed really down. This wasn't like him at all. He usually had such pride, confidence and fearlessness, that it caught even his little brother off guard.

"Well ipologize." Mokuba said, like it was the simplest thing to do in the world.

"I want to kid, I really do. But there's one problem-"

"Swallow your pride big brother. You made a mistake, just say you're sorry."

"I tried to Mokuba. I did. " He stopped, trying to think of a less disturbing way to break the reality of this situation to his little brother." But I went up to her room and knocked, seeing how that was the way she went when she ran upstairs, she wasn't there. Tea's gone. She left."

"She left? What did you say? Did she leave a note? Do you have any idea where she went? It's not safe out there it, really isn't."

"I know it's not." The elder Kaiba sighed. "She didn't leave anything but her cell phone. So now we can't find her, because we can't call her."

"You're avoiding the question, Seto. What did you say to get her so upset that she'd leave?" Mokuba demanded. Seto began to retell the events prior to Tea's disappearance.

Flashback

*^*^*^*^*^

"Morning Kaiba,"She said calmly. She acted like nothing had happened that night."Sleep well?" She asked, no sarcasm to be heard. Either that or Kaiba wasn't fully awake yet.

"I guess. For having you friggen trap me next to you the whole Goddamn night." He spat.

Tea looked like she was going to laugh. "Funny, I had to pry your arms apart, seeing how you had me in a rather tight hug." She said, unembarassed.

"You didn't wake me up." He said, trying to lay the blame on her.

"Well I didn't exactally wake up til seven am, and besides. You looked so peaceful. Don't get to sleep like that often. At least you don't seem to." Tea said, no sarcasm. "Maybe if you didn't work so hard, you'd auctually get a decent night's sleep. Maybe then you wouldn't be such a grouch." She looked him in the eye, challenging his glare, then smilied. "Hey, that's just me. But your little brother agrees. He really misses you." Tea got up and walked to the sliding glass door. She turned. "I've seen you be one hell of a brother. He idolizes you. Maybe if you were more of a brother instead of-"

"I don't need you telling me how to live my life Gardner. Stay the fuck out of it. you don't have any idea what it's like."

"Yeah I don't. when my parents died, they took my little sister with them."

*^*^*^*^*^

"Seto!" You mean to tell me that you said that to her? No wonder she left." Mokuba was surprised and hurt.

"You think I was expecting this?" Seto said, depressed. Even if it was the mutt saying this to him, he would sound this way. It hurt him that much."She never told me anything."

"We never told anyone anything either. Yet whenever someone says anything, you always get in their faces. She didn't tell anyone about her little sister obviously for a reason. They all died at the same time. At least that's what I think."

"What do I do kid? You usually know what to do when it comes to friends." Mokuba looked at his brother. For a moment, tears threatened to fall from his eyes. He quickly blinked them away, before he fell to them." I don't even know what to do or where to look."

"There's nothing we can do, for now big brother. She did a good job of making sure we couldn't find her. She probably just needs some space for now. She'll come back. I know she will."I don't know when or where, but she's gotta come back. If only she knew how Seto was reacting to this.The little boy pushed himself off his brother, and walked to the stairs. "For now, I guess things will be how they were before."

*^*^*^*^*^

Tea walked in to Union Street Train Station, and walked to where a middle aged man stood with a middle aged woman, his wife. The rain pounded down outside, as the girl drew in her umbrella.

"Tea, my dear, it's been so very long." The woman said, embracing the brunette. "How have you been?"

"I've been pretty good Rose." Tea said, returning the embrace. "Thank you so much for bringing me. You have always come through for me and I really appreciate it."

"It's nothing." Leroy said, "It's the least we could do, after all your parents have done for us."

Tea smilied. "So dear, I've heard you've been staying with Seto Kaiba, the hottest man on the planet." Rose said, with a smirk. "How's that been?"

"It's been quite a different experience. He's how I expected, in a way, but on the other hand, he's a hell of a lot different too."Thoughts of Seto filled her head, but she shook them away.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Leroy said. "It will be a week, and you can't leave earlier. Are you absolutley positive?"

"Yes." Tea said. The trio walked out to the train. Tea didn't look back, in fear that she would change her mind.
