Chapter 3: Waffles

A bright new day shined through closed curtains. The girl groaned in her sleep after turning over in bed. One of her pillows was dangerously hanging on for dead life at the other end of her bed. The sheets lay crumpled on top of her, her hair was disarrayed. The sound of her door bell rang causing her to moan and yawn flipping over on her back. The bell rang again and she turned to stare at her clock.

7:48 a.m.

She sighed closing her eyes just a tad before rubbing the sleep out of her and getting out of bed. 'It's too early for this…' she lazily thought heading to the front door.

When she reached she didn't take the time to take a peek for she unlocked the locks and pulled the door open. She met a familiar being who was leaning against the frame an arm supported his form his hazel eyes stared down at her. She only blinked the top of her shirt fluttered down her left shoulder.

An intense stare bore down at her with a blank look.

"What are you—" she was interrupted when he crossed paths with her heading inside her complex. She was still for a moment before she heard him shuffling behind her. "Akefia!" she turned closing the door as the lock clicked.

Once in upon time there was a family who did things together. A little girl with bright blue eyes and brown hair pulled into pigtail would smile as her parents lifted her up and announced that the family would go on a 'vacation'. She was thrilled, up until the car ride.

Téa stood behind him with her hands on her hips sharing a still sleepy and angered look. She watched the boy's white hair sway to the side as he took his shoes off slipping on indoor shoes as he proceeded inside her house.

"Akefia, are you listening to me?" she fumed tailing him but the boy continued to walk heading for her kitchen.

Téa poked her head in staring as he pulled the refrigerator door towards the side looking for something. She shook her head dismissing him and walked back to her room. She flopped on her bed and pulled the covers over ignoring the fact that she didn't mind closing her bedroom door.

It was a quiet ride to the outside shopping district. She listened to her parents make conversation and turned her head towards her window. She was a bit bug-eyed from what she met. Another boy, who looked slightly the same age as her, was making faces as both cars seem to ride with one another. Téa made faces back at him and the boy from 'across' from her mocked back, pressing his face against the glass. She only winced when she saw someone hit him on the head, thus the ride continued until her parents car drifted to its destination. She didn't really know who it was until meeting the boy at the food court from the shopping market. Well both him and his older brother.

Akefia Bakura leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed and one leg over. His eyes had narrowed as he matured and his white mane was chopped from his shoulders. As he grew he made himself independent from his older twin, Ryou Bakura, the goody-two shoes of the family. He sighed a part of his bangs covered his right eye. The jeans he wore were cut above his knees obviously made by him. A sported black and white t-shirt, he was a bit tan-ish than pale like his brother. Several bands wrapped around his left wrist as was a sweat-band on his right. A smaller ring-like band wove around his right middle finger. So basically everyone… he's gone punk…

He had watched her shuffle underneath the covers; no emotion had passed his face.

Téa laid her head resting against her pillow but she couldn't seem to get back to sleep. She had this sense that someone is watching her. She flopped over so that her back rested against her mattress. Hands at the edges of her blanket she pulled them down only to stare right at a pair of hazel eyes. She let out a scream while Akefia held an annoyed look.

"What the hell are you doing?! Get out of my room!" she straightened attempting to toss a pillow at him.

He didn't say much to her as he too straightened his form and managed to dodge away. He took a couple of steps back with his hands in his pockets.

"It's always the same thing Titi…" Akefia finally spoke watching her.

Téa blushed red throwing another pillow in his direction. "Stop calling me that you perv!" she yelled disliking the nickname he gave her.

"What?" he questioned playfully.

She fully stood on her bed as the covers had been thrown off; her pillows have gone 'missing'. "Forget it…" she waved a faint pink never left cheek, "just forget it…"

Akefia's only reply was a satisfied smirk.

'I so hate that name…' she seethed fighting back the blush.

Just once she had hoped that he didn't step into her room while changing.

'Why me…?' she wondered.

"I'm hungry, woman…" his words brought her back.

Téa merely narrowed her eyes and raise a brow. "Go eat at home," she attempted to 'shoo' him waving her hands out.

Akefia felt his persona being pushed out while Téa moved from behind him. "Hell no," he replied. "Both my parents and Ryou are having oatmeal for breakfast."

They stopped just outside her door.

"Oh… and what do you want?" Téa asked her hands still pressed against his back.

Half turning he spoke with a serious tone, "Waffles…"

Her hands dropped. "Waffles…Well, lucky for me I don't pancake batter or a waffle iron," she attempted to push him again but he held firm.

He 'humph' as he grabs hold of her writs. "And that's why we are going out to eat," he pulled her along.

"Akefia! Wait a minute!" he simply ignored her and slipping on his shoes she doing the same. "At least let me change!" she swayed but they were already out the door.

- -

"Would you quit looking so uncomfortable," he said looking at the top of his menu.

Téa shot him a glare ignoring the people around her. "I'm not looking uncomfortable…"

He 'humph' once more looked back at his menu. She ran a hand through her hair hoping to take out her tangles. Silently excursing herself she made her way to the bathroom.

"Stupid idiot," he heard her mumble as she left.

Laying the menu down he stared out the corner window where their table was placed. The Pancake House had the best waffles, in his opinion anyways, and every Saturday he attempts to take the girl with him. He doesn't know why but he likes her company especially when it comes to going to her place every Saturday morning.

He heard a squeak from across from him his eyes trained on the girl. He couldn't help but smirk every time he sees her with her pajamas on at the Pancake House. Ah yes… he loves to torture her.

"Akefia, Téa, you two ready to order?" a sudden voice was brought to their attention.

A waitress with long dark brown hair and uniform stood by the side with a pen and paper in hand.

"Hey Monica," Téa greeted with a small smile.

The girl Monica smiled back at her. "Hey Téa, he dragged you out again?" she motioned to the other teen.

Téa only nodded. "I think he's trying to torture me for some reason," she whispered but it didn't go unnoticed when Akefia crossed his arms.

"Oh… you're just figuring that out now Titi?" his smirk grew when she saw her flush.

Monica's green blue eyes blinked as she shifts, "Titi?"

Téa held a hand up, "I don't want to talk about it, okay… could we please just order…?"

The waitress shrugged her shoulders and took note of their meal heading to the back. In a matter of minutes their meal and beverage came as did a pair of familiar beings.

"Téa!"

The girl looked to the side only to be glomped from the side by a mass of black hair. Akefia watched amusingly at her obviously the timing was horrible for she was chugging down her cup of o.j.

"Mokuba," a warning tone flashed.

Mokuba Kaiba let her go apologizing to her as she coughed in her napkin.

"I-I'm al-alright…" she managed to reply straightening her composure. She coughed and turned to the thirteen year old. "Morning Mokuba," she stated.

"Morning!"

Téa turned her gaze to his older brother who was standing behind him. "Seto," she smiled.

Seto merely nodded in her direction.

"Is it alright if we eat with the both you?" Mokuba questioned looking at Akefia then Téa.

They both nodded and took a seat. Mokuba sat in the same isle with Téa, Seto with Akefia. The waitress came and took their order and soon the two was enjoying their meal as well.

"So Téa?"

"Hm…" she looked at him a fork in her month.

Mokuba placed her cup of milk down. "Why are you in your pajamas?"

Téa's only reply was by pointing her fork at Akefia with a glare. Mokuba made an 'o' motion and continued to eat. The four silently ate and chatted. Téa had crossed her legs in the both sitting cross-legged. She surveyed the Kaiba brothers' attire.

Seto had worn a jacket completely aware of the hoody poking from behind him. Dark colored jeans and a black t-shirt with gold designs stretching across the front. His blue eyes were focused on his plate as he too made small talk with Akefia.

Mokuba was no where different when choosing out his clothes. A pair of blue jeans fitted his bottom and a mask of stripped lines was designed on his shirt.

"Hey Téa?" Mokuba spoke to her.

"Yah," she sipped her juice.

"What are you doing today?" he tilted his head.

She couldn't help but tease him. "Oh… why the sudden interest?" She leaned in his direction a grin plastered on her face.

"Not like that," he waved his arms a blush formed at the bridge of his nose.

Téa pulled away, giggling. "Well, I have plans with Yugi and Joey," she continued her drink.

"Oh…"

"Hm…"

Seto emptied out his cup of coffee, "And just are the three of you planning to do?" he raised a brow.

Téa rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Actually I'm not really sure. I was planning on just winging it, you know."

"Oh and just by winging it the three of you are planning on going to the arcade?"

"Or hanging out at that game shop of his?" Akefia inputted.

Téa grumbled, "Okay I get it. Not a good plan but we still have fun doing it."

"Right," Seto crossed his arms over his chest.

Akefia leaned his elbows placed on the table. "You could always go shopping." He noticed the threes odd stare. "As in shopping," he scowled leaning back, "buying more food for that house of yours. I swear every time I head over there, there is rarely anything to eat."

"Hey don't complain," she glared. "I never asked you to come over, stalker."

"Don't call me that."

"Stalker!"

Seto and Akefia rolled their eyes at her while Mokuba laughed at her antics.

"What do you do to eat, Téa?" Mokuba wondered.

"I buy some take-out," she shrugged.

"That isn't really healthy you know," Seto interjected.

She waved at him. "I rarely have time to cook let alone go off grocery shopping."

"Well make time."

Akefia smirked. "I bet you, you can't even cook."

Téa looked playfully offended. "Hey I can so cook. I make a mean 'o sandwich, you can even ask Joey."

They laughed at her reply while some shook their head. The four finished their meal and paid bill some had argued over it but Akefia had pointed out that she didn't have any money on them. Téa stretched when they made it outside.

"Man that was good," she smiled.

She turned around and punched Akefia on the arm. He raised a brow at her as did the other two.

"What was that for?" he rubbed his arm out of reflex.

"That's for dragging me here you ass. Now take me home," she placed her hands on her hips.

He pointed in the direction of the bus stop. "No ones stopping you, the bus stop is over there," he glanced to stare at her reaction.

"You know I don't have any money," she waved her arms to the side.

He had to smirk at this one. "I think I see something shiny," he looked off in to the distance with a hand covering the top of his eyes.

"Akefia!!!"

He laughed.

"Téa! Seto and I are more than happy to drop you off?" Mokuba brought her attention.

"Really?!" she quickly turned away from Akefia.

Seto nodded his head when his limo came up from beside him. "Get in or I'll leave you here," he opened the door himself.

"You can't do that?" she nearly yelled.

He smirked, "Just watch me…"

Téa stomped taking hold of Akefia as well, much to his annoyance.

8:32 a.m.
