Seto Kaiba
A thin layer of snow rested over Tokyo. I walked in long strides, hurrying to meet her...I tried not to smile as I looked up to where she would be waiting for me, with her beautiful smile. Not noticing anything else, I rushed over the roads, when suddenly, all I could see was blaring headlights...and her horrified face as everything turned black.

Tea Gardner
No...no! Please be okay...please be okay...I watched his limp, pale body, as they carried him up onto the ambulance, red liquid was trailing down the side his head, and my vision turned blurry. I realized I was crying. A drop rolled down my cheek, followed by another. Then another. No... "Seto! I have to go with him! You have to save him!" I was screaming nonsense as my demands were declined, and they left with him.
No...you have to be okay. You promised...you'd be there with me tomorrow. Remember? Tomorrow's my birthday. You have to be okay! As my instinct kicked in, I ran into my convertible, barely able to close the door as my numb hands gripped the steering wheel.
Wait for me...

"I-is he going to be okay!" I stammered, shaking as the doctor came out of the room.
The doctor looked at me, "You are this man's...?"
"I...I'm his friend. Tea Gardner." I managed to choke out, "What happened to him? How is he? I have to go see him!"
The doctor stopped me, but only for a while, "He is in no life danger." He reassured me, and then..."But he's had a bit of impact on his head. We are suspecting..." He stopped, and looked at me.
I felt my whole body turning numb, and tears threatening to fall, I felt like choking, "W-what happened to him! What happened!"
"He might have...amnesia." He said, but just as he saw my tears, he added, "But the blow wasn't that bad. The car had only...well...if he does, it might not of erased all of his memories. Only part of it, and perhaps...this is unlikely, but maybe, there would be some way to cure it. You may go see him...but remember, please do not overreact if he does have..." I didn't bother to continue listening, and the docter didn't continue talking either.
I bursted in Seto's room, you have to be okay...

Seto Kaiba
I stirred in my sleep, and I blinked a few times before my eyes adjusted to the light, expecting to see my crystal chandelier, dangling from the ceiling and the blue velvet on it. But instead, there was a dirty white hospital ceiling. I got up from my supposedly king sized bed, to find out it was really a hard hospital bed, complete with white sheets. I abruptly looked at myself, I was in a pajama like white shirt and white pants.
Surprised, I was about to run out of the room, when a girl crashed into me, making me fall onto the ground. Suddenly, I started feelinga little dizzy, but my vision cleared again. I blinked a few times, before realizing the girl was Yugi's cheerleader.
"Gardner!" I shouted, more of a statement then a question.
"Seto! You're okay!" The ridiculous girl shouted delightfully. She even tried to hug me! How proposterous!
"Get off me Gardner! Go hug the mutt or something!" I shouted.
She seemed hurt, but what do I care? "What's wrong with you Seto?"
I glared at her, "When did I give you permission to call me by my first name, you filthy little cheerleader?"
"I suppose you're going to laugh at me now, for being in the hospital for whatever reason! Why am I in the hospital!" I touched my forehead, and felt thick bandages wrapped around it, "What date is it?" I snapped at Gardner.
"I-it's September 21, 2005." She stammered. Pfft, what a weakling. And then I realized, that the last time I was conscious, it was April 2003!
"Don't joke with me Gardner! It can't be 2005, unless I was sleeping here for 2 years!" I snarled.
Ms-I'm-a-little-cheerleader suddenly gasped, and I could've sworn her face turned paler. "Y-you don't remember?" She stammered, and she got up from the floor and walked weakly over to the bed, and sat down. I sat there, on the floor, staring at her. This girl was insane!
"Seto..."
I glared at her.
"Kaiba, you...you have amnesia." She whispered.
"WHAT! Don't joke with me Gardner! I remember perfectly well who I am! The CEO of Kaiba Corp.! I remember Mokuba, Yugi and his gang, which includes you, the little cheerleader..."
"No...S-I mean, Kaiba...you have partial amnesia." She whispered.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm still the CEO of Kaiba Corp., 2 years is nothing." I spoke, getting up, "You better be leaving, because I have no idea why you were here in the first place, Gardner. And good riddance to you too!" I smirked.
Suddenly, with a sob, the cheerleader threw her arms around my neck, and suddenly, she hit me like a warm quilt. I started to feel dizzy, a sense of familiarity rushed over me...

"What...is this?" I spat out the sweet coffee onto the grass.
"Coffee!" She smiled as sweetly as my coffee was right now.
"It's sweet! I specifically told you that I didn't want any sugar, nor cream!" I complained, throwing my arms in the air like a foolish child.
She pouted, "But Seto...nobody drinks coffee like that!"
"Hmph. It's cold too." I added, on second thought.
"Well, sorry! This will warm you up!" She smiled at me, then gave me a soft, gentle hug.
Her hair smelled like sweet oranges.
