DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN YUGIOH (if I did the world would be a ice-cream-filled place)

The young CEO of Kaiba corp. sat down in the kitchen exhausted. He and Mokuba had just spent hours debating on who his wife was to be. It had been a week since the idea of Kaiba marrying had come into Mokuba's head. Now Kaiba knew he would have to marry, once an idea came to Mokuba's head it never left until it was accomplished. Mokuba entered the room with a huge smile on his face.

" What are you so happy about?" asked Kaiba

" I found you, you're future bride!" Mokuba exclaimed excitedly

" No you haven't" growled Kaiba

" Yes I have" countered Mokuba

" How could you have? You only left the room, 5 minutes ago!"

" I talked to her mother at that time, we both have settled the wedding!" Kaiba just stared at Mokuba for a long time. Finally he sighed, defeated.

" Whatever, who is she?" Kaiba asked disgustedly

" Somebody we both know"

"…." Kaiba continued to stare

" You've known her for a long time" Kaiba looked at him blankly

" It's Tea! How could you not have guessed!" Kaiba literally fell of his chair and gazed at Mokuba bewildered, shocked into silence. ' Gardener' he thought trying to process this, but it just wouldn't

" Tea dear where are you… would you please come into the living room?" Mrs. Gardener said

" Comin' mom" Tea rushed down the stairs and appeared in front of her mother.

" Now Tea this is very hard for me to say but… lets see where to begin?" Mrs. Gardener paused for a while to collect her thoughts. " When you're father died in that car crash we both lived on am I right?" she asked Tea. Tea's only response was to nod tearfully " You know that now I am dieing of heart disease… I only have a few days to live Tea… when you're fathered died I had you and you had me… when I die…"

" No mother don't say such things," Tea cried hugging her mother. Mrs. Gardener smoothed her hand over her daughter hair

" Tea it's the truth… I don't have much time left" she lifted her hand to stop her daughter from talking " let me finish… you need someone Tea, to help you through life… I had you're father… and then you…" she sighed this being obviously hard for her to say " I think it would be best if you got married before…" Tea sighed resentfully.

" I understand mother" and she really did. Her mother wanted to see her married off and happy. It was as far as Tea understands her last wish.

" I knew you would" both mother and daughter hugged each other and cried together for sometime. Finally, Tea let go of her mother

"… umm" she found this very awkward to say "did you… I mean do you… is there someone in particular that you wish me to marry?" Tea got out in the end.

" Now that you ask yes, it's Seto Kaiba"

" G…G…Gardener?" Kaiba spit out

" Yes"

" No"

" Come on Seto, why not? You've refused every other girl in Domino city. You're marrying her." Mokuba said firmly.

" Anybody else… anybody you want just not her."

" Fine then, Serenity Wheeler" Mokuba teased knowing that his brother hated his friend Joey Wheeler and his sister.

"Come on" Kaiba groaned.

" Seto I've finalized it with her mother… you marry her or I'll never talk to you ever again and hate you for ever" Mokuba said childishly

" Fine do ever you want let me marry that filthy creature… humph" with that he left the room went into his office and slammed the door. ' What wrong have I ever done to deserve a wife like Tea?' he asked god silently… there was no reply. He stayed in his office till dawn trying to think of a way out of this without hurting Mokuba. In the end, he came up empty, and on some term accepted his marriage to Tea.

THE NEXT DAY

" Are you sure she wants to marry me?" Kaiba asked Mokuba for the hundredth time

" Yes her mother said she was over joyed with the news."

' I should have known, all those times she was arguing with me was just her pathetic way of flirting with me and getting my attention.'

" Oh yeah and I forgot to remind you, you're going to go to Tea's house and pick her up so that you two can pick out her wedding dress."

" Why do I have to go?" he muttered

" Because she's you're wife"

' Great not only do have to marry that thing but I have to spend time in her annoying presence!' he thought angrily. " What time?" he asked aloud

" In an hour"

"What!"

" Go get ready, or you'll be late." After a moments pause he said "oh and put on something nice to impress her" Mokuba winked. Kaiba clenched his jaw and went upstairs.

' I have to marry Kaiba… out of all the people in the world my mom chooses Kaiba. Oh God help me! I don't want to marry him… I hate that coldhearted bastard… but mom wants me to marry him…I have to do as she pleases… it may be the last chance I get before…before' she couldn't even think it. She wiped a tear from her face and reapplied her make up 'I can't believe I have to go shopping with him now… God this is going to be like hell'

" Tea, Kaiba is here to pick you up," her mother said from the kitchen

" Bye mom" she called as she ran down stairs and out of the house. She stopped in front of a sporty silver car. 'Wow this must cost a fortune… oh wait of course it does it's Kaiba's car.' Inside she saw Kaiba and almost gasped, it's not like she hadn't seen him before. She had talked to him on many occasions, like when defending her best friend Serenity from him. But today he wasn't wearing a trench coat. He was wearing a blue shirt with the top few buttons open and blue denim pants… he looked hot. ' Oh my god did I just think Kaiba looked hot? Ewwwwwwwww no way… all that's happening in my life right now is messing with my brain.

" Are you gonna get in the car or should I just leave" Seto asked annoyed. Tea didn't comment but merely got into the front seat. ' It's a long way to the bridal shop… one of us is going to have to talk' after a few minutes, it was Kaiba who broke the silence.

" Why are you so desperate to marry me?" Tea didn't know what to say

" Me desperate to marry you?" Tea said with disgust " I think it's you who's interested in marrying me."

" I wouldn't want to marry you if you were the last thing on this earth" Kaiba said plainly

" Then why are you" Tea shot back

" Because of Mokuba… but it doesn't explain why you agreed to marry me"

" I'm only marrying you because my mother is dieing and before she does she wants to see me married to you… if it's too disturbing to stay married we'll get a fucking divorce once my moms gone" Tea stilled in astonishment ' did I just say that last part out loud? Damit.' The rest of the ride they were both quite deep in their own thoughts. When Kaiba parked in lot, Tea hurried out and went towards Partennet's Bridal shop. Kaiba grabbed her hand and led her in the other direction to Bridal Boutique. ' He's holding my hand...' she thought amazed ' oh great I sound star struck… who cares what Kaiba is doing I certainly don't' She freed her hand from his and walked ahead into the boutique.

If it's too disturbing to stay married we'll get a fucking divorce once my moms gone

' That's what she had said… so this isn't permanent… just for a while' Kaiba had expected to feel better knowing this was temporary but it made him feel worse. Kaiba looked around to see where Tea was and found her looking at a gorgeous white/silverish dress. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Mokuba and Mrs. Gardener hiding out side the shop. Kaiba went up to Tea and put his arms around her from behind, she gasped " Kaiba what are…" she tried to ask

" Shhhhh" he whispered in her ear " you're mom and my brother are standing outside the shop. If we give them a show now they'll leave if not they'll be bugging us the entire day."

" Oh" said Tea. Kaiba was lost in the sent of her hair… she felt right to hold… fit perfectly against his form. He began to wonder how she would look and feel naked in his bed… ' No she's never going to be in my bed… this is only temporary… were not ever going to be some happily married couple.'

" Kaiba…"

" Seto" he could have kicked himself, but he had said the words " call me Seto you're going to have to once were married"

" Oh… okay Seto" he noticed she blushed when she said his name, and for some reason was pleased " how about this dress?" she pointed at the one she was looking at. He let go of Tea so that she could get the dress off the rack. She turned around to look at Seto. He stepped dangerously close and brushed a strand of hair away from her face " Their gone" he said

" Wh… who's gone?"

" Our stalkers so we can quit the play act" he said " Just buy whatever dress you want," he added sneering. Seto watched as Tea brought the dress to one of the assistants, the assistant left and the came back with a smaller size of the dress. Kaiba waited in front of the dressing room for Tea. When she came out, he gasped. Seto had seen many models in his life but she beat them all. The dress had no sleeves and exposed a lot of silky skin. ' She looks stunning' he thought to himself aloud he said

" You want this dress?" Tea gazed into the mirror lovingly

" Yes" she said softly. They bought the dress, and started talking about where to go next.

As they exited the bridal shop together, they failed to notice a dark figure lurking in the corner… a devilish plan forming in the persons mind…
