Summary: For 4 years, Tea Gardner worked hard and finally became a success around the world. Her beauty and intelligence highly known. Seto Kaiba, the one and only, had always just briefly given her a glance or even a thought. Now, 4 years out of high school, they both meet up again at a party, but due to an unfortunate turn of events, they end up getting married. Now they are both trying to figure out ways to get a divorce before both their hearts come to terms with what they have always known, that they love each other. Unfortunately for them, destiny and fate collide together to either bring them closer or push them apart as both Seto and Tea's past comes back to haunt them. Can they survive this ultimate test of love or will it destroy them completely?

The young woman was a very graceful, unique individual, of that everyone was sure. For the past four years, her dancing and humorous entertainment and exhilarating performances captivated many people for miles around. And just thinking where she got her start made her all the more admirable. Yes, it was true, she was a home town patriot, she was from Domino.

It was at the after party that took place at none other than the famous Kaiba mansion that many people started to appreciate the young woman, not only for her talent, but for her understanding and patience in a society that looked down upon naivety and over-zealous young adults. She had managed to catch the eyes of several of Domino's top bachelors, but she held no interest in them, none at all, in fact, if asked why she did not want a mate with one of these rich, wonderful men, she would have replied that they were pompous and nothing but show. She wanted to roll her eyes at their sordid antics and even felt a little sick as she recognized the priest from the local shrine take part in more than a few drinks himself.

But somehow, through the long drawn out night, she became aware of the one person in the room. The very owner of the mansion at which this party was being given, Seto Kaiba himself. It was true, many of the young women would practically fall on their faces if he even glanced their way. But he was most definitely one of the hardest fish to catch in a sea that seemed so opened and ready for a catch.

She remembered following him to a small room down the hall from the party. She remembered opening the door and blushing a little as he hand gestured for her to come and join him. When she was close enough to him, she realized that he was not at all himself, that he was drunk off his ass. She wanted to laugh but held it in. She would have never imagined the Seto Kaiba to look so disgruntled and out of it.

"Take a swig." he stated throwing the bottle of brandy her way . He took a quick shot from the glass next to him on the table.

"I'm not a big drinker Kaiba. I don't have a high tolerance for this sort of stuff."

"It's alright Gardner. Take a swig. It'll help relax you." he drawled out. He seemed half asleep as he spoke. Taking a wary look, she decided to take a swig, besides, it wasn't everyday that she got a chance to drink like this in the Kaiba mansion and with Kaiba none the less.

The hours seemed to run by now and the two found themselves entranced as the world around them seemed to blur, happy, smiling faces flashed, laughter filled the air, a toast, a few more drinks and finally, darkness became inevitable.

She opened her clear blue eyes and gazed about her. She was in the most beautiful room that she could have ever imagined being in. The carpet was of a creamy white color while the walls were a soft baby blue. The curtains that enveloped the windows were of a much more solid blue than the walls but still matched perfectly with them. An armoire with dragon heads on each side to open the doors stood proudly against a wall to the left of her. She couldn't help but also note the rich chestnut dresser residing almost near the huge mahogany doors. An oak desk sat near a small white door, no doubt leading to the closet. The bed she lay in was four poster and huge, by her standards anyway, but she didn't care because the mattress was a soft feather one and was begging for her to lay back down again.

She almost complied when it suddenly dawned on her that she wasn't back at her house or at any of her friends house. It got even worse when she felt something behind her, no cross that out, someone. Her heart began to beat madly in her chest as she slowly turned around, an ache between her legs made itself known as she did this. What's going on? She thought confusedly to herself. She turned around to see…..

AAAHHHHH!

A very unladylike scream escaped her as she jumped from the bed, the man beside her suddenly startled awake and gazed at her, confusion on his face as well.

"Gardner, what the hell…" his eyes went wide as he realized she was standing stark naked in front of him. Then he looked at himself. Realizing what he was blushing about, Tea looked down at herself.

"Oh God!" she neared to scream. She grabbed the covers and wrapped herself in them. "What the hell is going on here?" she looked at Kaiba searching his face for answers. She raised her left hand, without thinking, to pull back some of her brown locks when a small golden band stopped her. What the!

"Oh God!" Tea stated yet again. She held out her hand watching as the band glimmered on her finger. Kaiba's eyes widened as well. He took a hasty glance at his left hand. Please don't be there, Please don't be there. He opened his eyes, revealing a golden band as well around his ring finger.

They both stared at each other horrified. What happened last night? Kaiba rubbed his sinuses while Tea busied herself trying to search for her cloths. But both of them were snapped from their shock as a knock on the door brought them out of their dream like states.
