*^*^*^*^*^

July 27th, three days before Kaiba Corp's Big Anniversary

"Seto Kaiba, how do you expect me to go to your little party if there's no dress to be worn?"

"Gardner, chill." Tea cringed. He never said that even on a bad day. He usually respected her enough to call her by her first name, especially since he had given her his mother's engagment ring, which she never took off. It was made with a single diamond in the middle and two aquamarine crystals, one on each side of the diamond. The gold band was quite exquisite as well.

"'Gardner' was my father Kaiba." She spat the words out, then turned abruptly and left the room. Kaiba looked up from his laptop. He really had to watch the way he talked to her. Time to go fix things...again.

He made his way to Tea's room, when he heard talking downstairs. "Damn that designer. Now I have to feel bad until she leaves."

Tea stood on the opposite side of the door. She opened and grabbed Seto's hand. "You know I don't hold a grudge."

"I don't deserve you," He said, sarcastically.

"I know you don't. But I don't mind. I'll make sure that I get something hot enough to be seen next to you in." She said, with a wink and a kiss blown in the air.

"Women."

"Don't you love 'em?"

"Sure Tea, sure."

"Well someone's got to make sure you ain't gay."

"If I was gay you'd know."

"I know that Seto."

Tea went down the stairs, and met with the designer. Within two hours, Tea had everything taken care of. So she decided that she'd go to dance practice. She quickly ran upstairs and changed into her practice clothes. The girls told her that she didn't have to go to practice, but she had the time. She then strolled into the office. Seto looked up at her.

"Seto, do you need the limo? I need to go to the park."

"In that?"

"Yeah, quit checking me out and answer me. I have a dance team to coach."

"Since when, and I wasn't checking you out."

"Since July started. I'd go to practice while you and Mokuba were out."

"Alright. Go. But don't take forever."

"Okay." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't miss me while I'm gone."

"I won't."

She stole his trademark smirk. "Mokuba told me that my dance team isn't allowed to dance for you because I'm too much of a distraction. The fifteen of us might overpower you."

"Sure. I passed up Britney Spears."

"Honey, she kissed Madona, and if that isn't slightly wrong, then the world can be taken over by the big five."

"Why did you just call me honey?"

"I felt like it. Well then, I'm leaving."

*^*^*^*^*^

The day of the party came quickly. Mokuba was excited, and Kaiba was jumpy. Not the usual for Kaiba, but it happened. He knew that it was going to happen, it was just a matter of time. Tea came in, just before getting ready.

"Are you sure that I'll be ok?"

"God Tea, don't have a spaz. They don't have to like you. They have to like me. Just don't do anything stupid." Tea looked him in the eye. You're nervous aren't you?"

"No, you act like it more than me."

"So you are?"

"NO!"

"You don't have to lie to me." She put both hands on his back and he cringed. The began to rub his back, gently.

"Lower." He said, suddenly moaning with pleasure. Tea went to the small of his back and rubbed there. "Yeah, that's good. Real good."

*^*^*^*^*^

Tea made sure both Mokuba and Seto had been down the stairs before she decided to go down. She didn't want to ruin the surprise.

"Tea, we're going to be late." Seto yelled up the stairs.

"You're the one who this party revolves around. You can wait a second."

Tea grabbed her small black purse, and descended down the marble staircase. She took a deep breath. Mokuba's expression changed rapidly from bored to eye popping.

"Seto, turn around. You won't regret it."

Seto Kaiba definetly wasn't regretting that decision.

Tea had a pair of black sparkle high heeled sandals, as well as her dress. It was black, with straps that tied behind her neck. The bottom came out like star points on the bottom, which fanned out when she spun down the last stair. The ring was on her right hand and a simple gold chain was around her neck. The neckline of her dress dipped low into a v-neck.

"Do I look okay?" Tea asked.

"That's the stupidest question you ever asked."Mokuba said.

"Seto, are you alright?"

He shook his head to clear it of all of his naughty thoughts."Yeah I'm pretty gir-ood."

"I'd take that as an unsure."

He offered her his arm. She took it, and the three of them entered the limo.

There is however one problem the reader may like to take note of.

This was not a Kaiba Corp limo.

*^*^*^*^*^

Tea didn't realize that sleeping gas had been used on her until she woke up with a splitting headache, somewhere dark, strapped to a table, gagged. She quickly looked around. Guess I'm not gonna make it to that party tonight. Her second thought was:Damn it, they took my gun. I liked that one too. Her senses told her suddenly that she wasn't alone. A woman suddenly ripped off the duct tape over her mouth.

"Alright girly, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. What's it gonna be?"

"For the past seventeen years of my tormented life, it's always been the same. I really am partial to the hard way."

"You would be.You are well aware of that method."

"So tell me," Tea said, holding up the poison conversation. "What did you do with Mokuba and Kaiba?"

"You call him Kaiba, yet you love him. It never makes sense."

"Nothing about love ever will."

"Ahh how true you are."

"So, answer my question."

"They're auctually in the next room over. And I think their enjoying their treatment. Your boyfriend is so drunk it's funny. We told him that you hated him, and he was so drunk he believed it. "

"And Mokuba?" Tea asked, not entirely surprised at the twisted course of events.

"Oh he's watching the entire thing. Our boss thinks he's cute. He won't hurt him physically, because let's face it. He's a doll." The woman began to undo the straps on the girl. She quickly sprung up.

"Are you new at this?"

"I'm better than the last guy you killed."

"Not good enough." Tea grabbed her captor's arm which held her gun. "You know I do believe that my property shouldn't be touched by the likes of you." She twisted the woman's hand the wrong way and stole back her gun. She then used her high heeled sandal to slam the woman into the brick wall, unconscious. Quickly, she opened the door and check the other room. And she didn't like what she saw.

Two things made Tea mad- Bad hair days and Yugi Motou's gang.

This wasn't anger Tea was experiencing.

Anyone who messes with someone that Tea loves didn't have the luxery of anger. They got pure rage.

Tea checked the room and totaled the two guards before Seto noticed her. Tea then got Mokuba outside of the room. "Whistle if anyone else comes. But I seriously doubt it."

She entered the room again and caught the teen's attention.

"AndIreallydidloveyou. Butyoudon'tcare. Noonecares. Screwme." His words were slurred and he smelled like whiskey. 'IDON'TKNOWWHYIEVERFELLINLOVEWITHASLUTLIKEYOU!!!!" Tears came to Tea's eyes. "Youdon'tcareyounevercared!"

He was so angry. Then he pressed his lips up against hers. He forced her to make out with him. Until she shoved him off of her. Mokuba was afraid of him. Especially when the glass smashed and Tea screamed. Tea knew that she really didn't want to do it, but she had to. She used a pressure point on his neck to knock him out. She hoisted him up over her shoulder. She was still crying and by her eye was beginning to bruise. Her dress was torn to reveal her torso. She also bore a slice on her arm from the glass. She had to get them back to the mansion. Before she passed out. Tea exited the room and hugged Mokuba, who was crying as well.

"Sweetie, he didn't mean it. You know that. Trust me. I love him enough to know that."

"Yeah I know. I'm just scared."

"I know baby, I am too. I am too." Mokuba smiled at being called baby. His mother always called him that.

*^*^*^*^*^

At three ten am, Tea pulled up to the Kaiba mansion in a Dodge Durrango. Tea and Mokuba entered the house, Tea still carried Seto, who was sleeping off his intoxication. The servants helped her, and quickly sent Mokuba as well as Tea to bed. It took seven servants to get him up the stairs. This was because he kept moving, and they knew that their lives and jobs would cease to exist, if he fell.

Tea had changed and waited for Mokuba to be ready for bed. She now wore a pink tank top and a pair of short shorts. When Mokuba opened the door, Tea entered and sat down on his bed. He climbed in and held a teddy bear in a death grip.

"You know that none of this is Seto's fault, right?" She asked, meeting his eyes.

"Yeah, but why do bad things always happen to us?"

"I dont know, hon, but it will get better. Trust me. Seto and I won't let you down."

"I know. It's just scary sometimes."

"You want to hear a secret?" Tea asked.

"Sure." Mokuba said, as Tea leaned over to kiss him goodnight.

"I was petrified tonight."

"Why is that a secret?"

"Because no one I know ever thought of me as a scardy cat, except Yugi. And you see how that works."

"Uh-huh."

"But I was so afraid that someone hurt you. I don't want to lose the only family I've got left."

"You mean that don't you?"

"Yes I do." Tea fingered a gold necklace around her neck, then took it off. "Wear this necklace at all times. It's an eagle charm, and it's kind of like a guardian spirit. My mother loved eagles for how magestic they were. So as long as you wear that necklace, my family and yours are the same."

"Tea, can I call you my sister?"

"Of course you can."

"Great sis. But I don't think big brother will."

"I'd hope not."Tea kissed him on the cheek. "Now get some sleep little bro. Lucky for you, you don't have practice tomarrow."

"G'night. Tea."

"Night."

Tea walked down the hallway to Seto's room, and inched through the crack that the door was open. He was still asleep, and the doctors were in there checking for any damage done. They instantly noticed the girl, and sent her to bed with a doctor to take care of her bruises and cuts.

*^*^*^*^*^

When Kaiba woke up, the first thing that he noticed was the headache. And that his breath smelled of whiskey. So he went straight to his bathroom and retrieved some tylonol and a toothbrush. Within the next hour his headache went away. And the events of the previous night began to become clearer.

Mokuba knocked on the bedroom door, at about eleven. He'd just woken up. Seto opened the door and Mokuba hugged him feriously. To his surprise, the elder Kaiba returned the hug. "You okay kid?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. They didn't even lay a hand on me."

"Good." He looked around. "Where's Tea?"

"Still in bed. She did more work than all of us."

"I know. How'd she get me out?"

"She carried you."

"How lovely."

"Do you love Tea?"

"What?"

"Do you?"

"Why?" He asked, surprised at the little boy's comment.

"I just want to know."

Seto Kaiba never had to think to hard on anything. This however, caused Kaiba so spend a moment on the right words. He'd gone over it so many times, and it kept stumping him. Especially since that voice in his head took a small vacation. So, he took a breath and closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them.

"Yes, I love Tea."
