Lady Nefertiti.

Last time: She would practice dancing because Tea was the best at it and she wanted to beat Tea at her own game. DDR would have a new winner, all the boys would fawn over her….and that was just a start.

Chapter 13: Bad boys…Bad boys…whatcha gonna do?

-Serenity's P.O.V-

Upset would be putting it delicately of what Serenity was feeling right now. She had been to the usual hangout where her brother and Tristin usually hung out with that infernal wench Tea…..She had seen the look on Joey's face, which was of disappointment. He probably knew what she was up to. It annoyed her that he could read her like an open book. He might act like a dolt and an idiot sometimes but he was no fool and she knew it.

She walked into the game shop that Duke Devlin owned not Yugi's game shop. She was greeted by none other than Duke himself. "Hey if it isn't red, the mutt's….err…I mean Joey's! sister. How areyou? I haven't seen you for such a long time. Where are the rest of your posse?" Serenity smiled sincerely silently fuming inwardly and said,

"Duke I'm so happy to see you! And the rest have gone on a search for Tea. I am looking for them. Do you know where they are…I'm err…ever so worried!" and she gave him a hopeful face.

"Well they aren't here…" Duke began and then scratched his head. "I myself was looking for Tea too…everyone wants to see the star of DDR! You see I have had people install two dancing stages and Tea needs to be on them!" Serenity was nearly about to grab him by the collar and growl that Tea was on a one way trip to hell so he could forget about her! But she kept her cool….but it would be very interesting to see a crazy Serenity yelling profanity and threatening people…..

"Well I must be on my way Duke….umm if you see them can you tell them to meet me at Yugi's game shop?" Serenity said and Duke just nodded his head…happy that Serenity had just given him a very important task.

'Ha take that Tristin Taylor!' Duke thought watching Serenity sashaying her way out of his Game shop.

-With Mokuba- (Kaiba Mansion/hiding outside Seto Kaiba's room)

It was a very good thing that his brother was picking up and starting to form a relationship etc..etc…but Mokuba had to make sure that this one lasted because his brother was a stubborn mule and possibly wouldn't consider another female specimen for the next 500 years again….he knew. The only odd thing was why his brother was taking her to HIS room…there were a dozen other rooms. Hey wasn't Yugi downstairs? He'd help him get Seto and Tea together right? Mind made up Mokuba walked downstairs hoping that Yugi was willing to help. He just hoped that Yugi, who also happened to be Tea's childhood friend didn't love her as well…. that would be a catastrophe.

Well whatever! Tea was going to be the next Mrs. Kaiba and he'd make sure of that!

-Tea and Seto- (Walking towards his room)

-Tea's P.O.V-

She was falling in and out of sleep. Comfortable in Seto's arms but feeling cold on the inside as if Eric was still holding her down and against her will. Unconsciously she scooted closer to Seto as if trying to get more of his body heat. It felt like it was just minutes ago that Eric was about to do 'that' to her….it would take a miracle to get rid of his nasty touches and his annoying scent off of her. Her face pressed against the crook of his neck she inhaled his scent and thought 'Mmm...Kaiba smells so good.' and tightened her grip on him. She knew and Kaiba probably knew now too…she could never go back home.

-Seto's P.O.V-

Why was he doing this again? Oh yeah she was a friend…

'Friend? Friend!' His conscious yelled at him. 'She's much more and you know that you dumb rich baka!'

Still, she felt nice all soft and warm in his arms. He noticed that she had tightened her grip on him and he raised an eyebrow. My but she seemed to be right at home…..

Home.

He remembered when he didn't have a home. The only thing he had was Mokuba and that kept him going and he had a reason to live….but Tea had no one….nothing. He'd never let her go back to the place she called a home. He'd even chain her to the bed if he had too, if she disagreed. He had enough power to have Eric dumped into the seas of Japan or the Pacific but that would be too nice…he wanted him to suffer…suffer for life. Suddenly he inwardly chuckled thinking that the press were going to have a field day when they found out that Tea was/would be living here with him…..

Ah too hell with it all….he didn't care what the Media thought.

-Yugi- (On a couch in the Kaiba mansion)

They'd been missing for only 10 minutes and he was worried. Maybe sending Tea up with Kaiba was a bad idea. What had he been thinking! He stood up and started to pace, worried that perhaps he should follow them. "Why so worried about Tea Yugi?" Mokuba asked interrupting his thoughts. "Do you not trust my brother? He has his honor… He's not Eric…."

Oops…

"You heard didn't you?" Yugi asked him, slightly amused. "And yes I know but being her best friend it is my job to worry about her." He turned to look at Mokuba who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I do know something you can do to help Yugi…." Mokuba began slowly smirking when he heard a door open and close upstairs.

-With Joey, Tristin and Yami- (On their way to the Kaiba mansion)

No one had really much to say while they made their way over to the mansion. Joey and Tristin knew that Yami's first guess as to where Tea disappeared to was with Kaiba, after all they weren't enemies for nothing. Tristin, the more level-headed one of the group knew (but of course he'd never say it aloud because he didn't want to go to the shadow realm) that Kaiba had feelings for Tea. Him, always complaining that he was hungry was just a ruse…he was really spying on what Tea was up to with Kaiba, After all she was more important to him than food!

"AND WHEN I GET THERE I AM GOIN'G TA' RING HIS DAMN NECK AND TELL HIM TO KEEP HIS HAND'Z OFFA OUR TEA…HOW COULD THAT'Z MONYBAGZ THINK THAT HE COULD HAVE HER?" Joey said to Yami punching his hand vigorously. Tristin rolled his eyes one wanted to send him to the shadow realm, one wanted to rip his neck off….great….just great. He guessed that talking it out wasn't part of the plan and now out of the question. They came up to the Mansion gates and took a deep breath.

"Hey who are you guys?" A guard asked eyeing them suspiciously. No doubt guys who came to cause trouble. Master Kaiba didn't need anymore jealous bad boys off the streets to bother him.

"We're friends of Yugi and Tea's and they're in there and we have to see them…" but Tristin was cut off by the guard who said that master Kaiba was busy.

"But we'z got to see Tea! he's got our friend in there, hostage too!, and we want her back!" Joey said getting irritated that this imbecile wouldn't even listen to them. Joey was very close to losing his temper and beating the guard to a pulp. The guard obviously was intimidated by them and threatened to phone the police if they didn't leave. Kaiba should've hired a better person but maybe since this guard was a baka they could persuade him with….

They walked a bit away from the guard and down the street and then Tristin said, "Umm…any bright idea guys?" Tristin said. Nothing.

"I knew that somethin' like this would happen stupid Moneybags and his high tech.."Joey started. Kaiba was such a jerk! And this guard needed to be pounded to the ground! And they obviously needed to break in! and….

"I've an idea but I just hope it works." Yami said thoughtfully effectively cutting Joey off his panic rant.

"No shadow realm Yami!" Tristin said rolling his eyes. Suddenly Joey had a brilliant idea and smirked towards Kaiba's mansion.

"I've gotz a brilliant idea and all I need i'z a cell phone!" he said.

-Tea and Seto- (his room now)

He put her on the bed, sat next to her and she glared at him. "Hey don't you be getting any ideas mister!" she poked him in the chest trying to hurt him but he just gave her a smirk. Cute.

"Oh don't worry Tea dear…I only go for the pretty ones…." He said in a mock solemn voice, hand over his heart.

"WHAT?" she yelled. "So you're calling me ugly?" and she lunged at him knocking him flat on the bed….Tea landing right on top of him. He gave her a (ahem) lecherous grin and she flushed red.

Um…Oops?

"Well Tea I had no idea that you felt this way about me and if you could please stop wriggling on top of me like that? But of course go right ahead if you want since you seem to like doing it….." he said casually.

'…'
