Last time:Amazing. Mai didn't even have to defend on Kaiba's behalf. The group silently walked away from the commotion, avoiding the reporters and made their way in the school through the back doors.

Chapter 46: Vanishing Point Part 1

The group heard noises outside as they silently made their way up the side stairwell. Less publicity or drama the better…at least for right now. Mai shook her head as Kaiba and Joey walked ahead of her. "So like where are we headed?" Joey asked as the group walked up to level two of the school building. He wasn't one to go and hide in some old classroom, or take things lying down. No he wanted to be a part of the action! And tell them people straight! That's right. He was just about to turn around and go the other way (back downstairs) when he just about 'eeped' when he saw Mai's expression. That woman was scary sometimes. How did women have this silent unknown, unspoken power? It was unfair.

The group walked into class where Tea and Kaiba….well Kaiba decided to make Tea nervous (as Mai was told by Tea herself) push her against the wall and Tea had thought for sure he was going to kiss her. Hmm….he sure acted cool as if nothing happened…unless Tea didn't REALLY kiss and tell. Hmmm. Mai wondered what was happening back at Kaiba's cabin. Hopefully the two, Serenity and Tea hadn't killed each other yet or start throwing around expensive things, Kaiba would not be happy about that. Besides they couldn't get the media, the police or the so-called mafia (where did they come from anyway?) involved. No one was supposed to know where Kaiba's cabin was.

"Do we have a plan?" Joey asked as the group shut the door behind them and breathed a sigh of relief. Mai made her way to the window as she stared down at the whole commotion down in the front of the school. The Fan-girls freaking out, the T.V channels swarming around, some panicked that they had finally had their 'chance meeting' with the great C.E.O (who was really hard to corner for an interview) and saw some blonde girl who they thought was his secret girlfriend (Mai) had taken him away.

Mai sighed and closed the blinds turning around to face the guys and walked towards them. "What do you mean Joey? We just got here. To school I mean." Mai said. Joey crossed his arms knowing that 'his woman' had definitely caught on to what he was saying but wasn't saying it for some reason.

"Mutt. Wheeler. You suggest we just ditch school?" Kaiba said with disdain in his voice. He didn't think the mutt had it in him to just…huh?

"You want your pretty fan-girls attacking you moneybags?" Joey said with a smirk on his face. Kaiba huffed and could've growled…had he been a dog. Obviously mutt had hit a nerve. He was always 'protected' from faculty from those rabid fan girls who always wanted a piece of him. He shuddered inwardly. It was hard trying to brush off those girls without actually hurting them (wanting to desperately though) and that they should really 'take the hint' and stop attacking what would never be theirs.

"What you suggest we just leave school?" Kaiba said.

"What? Afraid you're going to get into trouble with the teachers and deans?" Joey said rather taunted him rolling his eyes. Leave it to him of all people to worry. Of course Kaiba wouldn't get into trouble. Who was he to care about the 'minor' details like that? Teachers would be more than happy to keep their job and stay in Domino City when it came to Seto Kaiba-no one wanted to anger that boy. There were rumors about the history teacher-that went missing a few months ago, last person to talk to him was Kaiba (maybe about a grade) and he vanished.

"Boys…" Mai said in an irritated voice. No doubt the group didn't need this right now….especially right now! The bell had rung for the day and people would start piling in so they needed to go and now! Where they were going she didn't know yet. She knew the others, the media and the commotion wasn't going to die down anytime soon. Things were just getting exciting. Not even the principal would be able to shoo the media away.

"Come on then Mai." Joey said as he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her along.

"Joey…Joey." Mai hissed but kept being pulled along. The entire group made it out the doors, into the hall and through the doors towards the stairwell and they were going up? Upstairs? What were they going to commit suicide and jump for it? The roof? The door slammed open and shut right after she was through the doors.

"Wow….you really don't want anything or anyone to find you huh?" Mai said then she peered at the long…very long…way down and gulped trying to get far away from the corner. Unknowingly she had fisted her hand in Joey's shirt front, an eyebrow raise from him not that he was going to complain about it. Now what was Mr. Genius going to do? Calmly go down with 'please no pictures' and 'Well I was just leaving so please step aside?' No! they were going to hound him down till they got the story this time.

"Man. We're escaping school! We're like runaway fugitives with the police chasing us!" Tristin said thinking this was so cool. Everyone turned to look at him shaking their head. Kaiba pulled out his cell phone and punched a few numbers. Hmm…..maybe he had thought about something.

-Kaiba's Cabin- (with Tea and Serenity—and still alive)

"I'm telling you…" Serenity started. Tea would not listen to her she knew it.

"I don't want to know." Tea said not telling her she already knew. Perhaps the both of them needed to work together this time to bring Eric down.

They were friends at one point and Serenity….she….Tea shook her head. Alone. Cold. Naked. Cornered. Shaking. Another man's hands on you. In you. It was a horrifying feeling-a terrifying place to be in.

"I do have something in mind…." Tea started slowly. Kaiba might kill her but….no Kaiba would kill her then lock her up in chains for the rest of her life. She sighed. It was worth a shot.
