Tea's eyes were side. Roses. Red roses. Her favorite flowers. Her mother loved roses. She said that they were one of the purest things in the world. I wonder what she would say if she could see me now. She'd probably tell me to follow my heart. But what the hell would she tell me to do if she knew that I was falling for the Seto Kaiba, ceo of a muti-million dollar company. Probably the same thing. Oh shit. I just admitted that to myself. Damn you Leroy. Why did you have to be so right? It's wierd. I didn't think that this would happen. He was so different. This wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting him to scream at me for leaving. This was so... I don't know. I have to make it up to him somehow. Tea inhaled the scent of the roses. That was exactally what her mother smelled like. It's so wierd. He knew what I liked, almost like he has a sixth sense. I really have to thank him.

She slipped out of the room. Walking down the hallway, she heard two voices. Seto and Mokuba. They were playing video games. They were so into it that she walked in without being noticed.She saw that Mokuba was losing. Badly. That would have to change. Mokuba turned around to look at her. He smiled, and she winked at him. Both boys were sitting on the floor. Tea, being behind them sat down so that Seto was in front of her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders for a brief moment. He felt warm. Tea smiled, and whispered "Did you miss me?" into his ear.

His head turned, and he set down the controller. "Nope." He said, plain as day.

"Suuurrree." She whispered, as Mokuba kept gaining point by point. "Well thanks for the roses." She kissed his cheek, once again, and retreated out of the room. Seto's hand flew to his cheek. Thank God both he and Mokuba agreed that playing video games in the dark was the best way to play. Otherwise, that would be an awkward situation.

Walking into Kaibacorp on Monday afternoon was no treat, but something was different. Seto Kaiba was back to normal. All employees treated him as always, and everyone was in a decent mood, including the ceo.

When he reached the eigth floor, his personal secretary looked at him, then smiled."What?" He asked, in his usual monotone. The secretary shook her head, clearing her mind.

"I take it Tea came back," Jeana said, lightly.

"How'd you know?" He asked, quite surprised.

"Simple. Even if she hadn't called Thursday, anyone who knew the situation would have guessed the same thing."

"She called?" This was getting interesting. Seto didn't know about this.

"Yes. She hadn't given me any information. She just wanted to know about you." Jeana paused. "She was incredibly worried, and I swore she was crying. But that's my opinion, being a woman myself."

"And being a woman yourself," Kaiba said, generally amused, "How would you assess her and last weeks situation?"

"This isn't anything my training has helped me with Mr. Kaiba, but I guess that if I didn't know any better I'd say she has developed a severe crush on you."

"You think?" Kaiba said, amazed. "What told you that?"

"My heart, common sense, that sort of thing." Jeana said. "I figured she'd come back after calling."

"Alright." Kaiba smiled inwardly. Now this is an interesting twist.This would be fun to play around with.

~Tuesday~

Tea slammed her books in her locker, grabbed the few notebooks and other items that she needed for homework and continued to exit the building. Kaiba had already left, due to his work. Mokuba was going to meet her halfway between the two schools. He'd done it before so today made no difference to him or Seto.

Tea walked down the street. It seemed a little too quiet for her. That was when she heard a noise. It sounded somewhat familiar to her.

"You little rich boy! Well now, big brother isn't here to save you. What are you gonna do?" Tea knew what that was. A bunch of suits, and they were after Mokuba. Tea could tell. This was the first sign, one from MalKida. But this time, it was different. He was just using others to get what he wanted. She rushed to the alley where the yelling came from, using the element of surprise.

"Leave him alone!" Tea said. When it was time to fight, Tea forgot about fear. Nothing scared her about street fighting. Nothing.She assessed the situation. There were five of them, and so far Mokuba was in a corner. He wasn't hurt, so that was good.

"Oh really? What are you gonna do about it bitch?" One of the suits, apparently the leader questioned.

Tea didn't answer, she just looked at him pathetically. She felt the adrenaline rush through her veins. That was when she remembered that she promised never to fight again. Screw that. They were threatening people close to her, and for that, she'd make them pay. Besides, a little badass street fighting meant that she was able to let loose. Hell. She'd make some people scared of her.

"We're waiting bitch." One of the smaller suits said. Tea took that as an ivitation to begin.

"Bring it." She said, in a low voice. Mokuba stared at her. What the heck does she think she's gonna do? All five charged at her at once, surrounding her first.

Tea ducked, clearly avoiding all five of them. She heard a loud thunk. All five had collided. She looked at Mokuba. He understood what she was trying to say with her eyes. He took off with all the speed he had in him.

"Hey guys," She said, in a bored tone, "Is that all you've got?" All five got up and began their assult on her. She dodged the first one, she extended her arm to slam her fist in the leader's face. A thin line of blood trickled down his face, as a snap was heard coming from his nose. She then suceeded in elbowing the one she'd just dodged from behind. The other three charged at her as well. She grabbed the one's fist, and then grabbed a hold of his arm, allowing her to use him to slam the others into the wall. The second biggest guy came at her and she gave him a fierce uppercut. She then threw him on top of the other four. "Tell MalKida that I'm not interested in playing games. I'll take anything coming at me." With that, she picked up her backpack, and ran.

Only a few blows had come into contact with her. She had a bruise on her cheek and a cut on her upper arm. Tea figured that she'd run into the Kaiba brothers eventually. And she was right.

Seto and Mokuba ran up to her. Mokuba was breathing heavily, and bent over to catch his breath. Kaiba was the one who surprised her.

"Are you ok?" The older Kaiba asked, his words dripping with fear and worry.

"Yeah." She said, like nothing had happened. That was when the post fight dizziness set in, causing her to collapse into the arms of Seto Kaiba. Her eyes closed for a few moments, as she tried her best to keep herself conscious. He held her close to him. Tea could smell the faint cologne on him, being so close to his neck. This was only making things harder. Tea slowed her breathing and pulled herself away from the arms now wrapped possessively around her. She smiled, and whispered an "I'm good now," into his ear. He blushed slightly, avioding Mokuba's sly look and dropped his arms.Tea took a quick step foreward.

"Tea, did you know those suits?" Mokuba questioned, looking at her funny. "You took all five of them and hardly got hurt.

"No. Not personally, but I ipologize for that."

"IT's not a big deal Gardner." Kaiba snapped.

"They weren't after you. They were after me."

"How do you know?" Mokuba asked, staring now.

"Simple. Those men were trained to know an assortment of techniques, from martial arts to street fighting."

"So that's how you identified them?" Seto asked. "That's not much background info."

"Their fighting style, and the way they attacked, it's not something new to me."

"Oh, really? And I thought you put them to sleep with friendship speeches." Kaiba said, harshly.

"Yeah you keep telling yourself that, moneybags," Tea snapped.

"You're starting to sound like the mutt," Kaiba sent back. Tea cringed.Mokuba looked at her closely. There was fire in her eyes.

"You dare compare me to that ," she paused, reaching to cover Mokuba's ears, " incompetent mother fucking asshole?" Tea shook her head. "That's like me calling you Gosaboro." She spat the last word out.

"That was low," He said. Tea looked at him, eyeing him closely. "What?" He said, in a growl. Most people would be cowering before him, but she wasn't like the others. He had known that long ago. "You don't have the guts to take on five men at one time." Mokuba looked at him with what was a surprised face. Tea just smirked, her hair over her eyes.

"From my point of view," She said,"I've been able to take you."

"Prove it." He said, guesturing to Mokuba to go on ahead, as the mansion came into view.

"Alright. I will." She lifted her head, so close to his that he could fell her breath on his mouth. She smiled in a dreamy way, and their mouths drew closer and closer until...
