I do not own Yu-gi-oh
AN: These short stories are all the little things that happened behind the scenes in GONE. They aren't really relevant to the story. They are cute little stories that didn't have a place in GONE. They do talk about some of them in the story, but I wanted to share them in full detail, so here is the beginning of Little Moments with Seto Kaiba.
Serenity couldn't sleep it has been a few days since the decision; the decision that changed her life, to live in the Kaiba mansion. The pain of being abandon was still fresh. Usually at home when she was feeling mad or upset, she would play the piano or listen to music. But she didn't have her music, yet.
After being soaked to the bone, Serenity got a fever. She hated being sick. Ever since she woke up in this bed she hasn't left it. It was driving her crazy. She felt well enough to get up and wonder around her new home.
Judging by the darkness from outside her window, Serenity guessed it was late. She wrapped a blanket around her and walked out into the unknown. She had no idea what she was going to find.
Walking down the hallway, with lamps lighting the way. The hallway wasn't as creepy as she thought it would be.
"I guess Kaiba has style after all," Serenity said aloud.
She never thought that she be in the home of Seto Kaiba. Joey had always told her to stay away from him. She used to think it was funny, because there was never an opportunity too. Serenity and Kaiba lived in two different worlds. There wasn't any way for them to meet. Except the times when Kaiba did come to the clinic.
Even if it is small it has one of the best doctors ever. Serenity remembers that Kaiba only expects the best.
So maybe they would have eventually have met, but who knows. There isn't any reason dwelling on it, because it doesn't do any good. That's not what happened, so there will be no way to see if it would have happened.
Serenity wanted to see whole mansion from top to bottom, so she headed towards the front door. She looked over the railing and saw many flights of stairs.
"How many floors does he have?" Serenity asked in awe.
All of her life, the only place she lived was an apartment building. She couldn't think of what anybody would do with all of this space. She walked down the stairs. Serenity needed a drink of water, so what better place to start then the kitchen.
As Serenity made her way to the kitchen, she could see Kaiba's house wasn't gloomy. In fact it was really clean and decorated nicely, especially when the house was owned by boys.
Joey made Kaiba appear to be this dark, creepy, cold guy who didn't care about anything. Serenity can say Joey was wrong, Kaiba seemed to be everything but. The only thing dark about the mansion was the darkness outside. It wasn't creepy either. It was very masculine, but in a nice looking way, Serenity liked it.
Serenity knows money wasn't an issue, and it never will be. Kaiba spends his money the way he wants, just like everyone else who has money. But what impressed Serenity the most was how Kaiba does everything in his power to provide for Mokuba. Kaiba also didn't care about just money, because if that was the case she wouldn't be here right now.
Kaiba is a different person, and Serenity wouldn't mind finding out who he really is.
Serenity entered the kitchen, a tear ran down her cheek, it the kitchen that Joey has always wanted. He was a chef after all. Joey would love to have a kitchen this size. She quickly got a drink of water and grabbed an apple and left the kitchen.
She saw a living room, bunch of other rooms, and down the hall through a glass wall was an indoor pool. It looked like it some of it was outside too, but Serenity couldn't see. She loves swimming, but she preferred the ocean to a pool.
She walked up the stairs; she threw her apple core away. As she saw a game room, with pool tables, ping pong, foosball, darts, and air hockey. This room had everything.
"Must be a guy thing," Serenity wondered out loud with a smile. "But I do love a good game of pool, and darts."
Joey had taught her a little bit of each, but pool and darts are her favorite. Joey and his friends always went to the arcade to play of these games. She left with a smile. She saw a movie theater and a video game room that had more video games than even Joey had, and that was saying something. There also were a lot of spare rooms, she wondered as she left the second floor to explore the third.
The first door she opened was Kaiba's home office.
"It's huge," she thought. "Nobody needs an office this big."
Serenity gently shut the door and went across the hallway she opened the door her mouth dropped. It was a library Serenity was happy. She has never seen so many books outside the public or her school library. She has loved books for as long as she could remember. She knew that she would spend a ton of time in here. It had everything including a small TV on the wall.
She didn't want to leave, but curiosity engulfed her she needed to see what else his mansion held.
She forced herself to shut the door and turned to open another one. She caught herself before her knees buckled a music room. Serenity didn't think that Kaiba was a music lover. She walked into the huge room. There was a drum set with two electric guitars, a bass guitar, and an electric keyboard. There were so many guitars, not just electric, but acoustic as well.
There were instruments everywhere, but the one that caught her eye was the grand piano by the huge window. She came closer to the piano. Serenity has only seen a grand piano in the movies and the music store. Never in her life had she thought she would be able to play one.
She giggled as she sat down and opened the keys. The blanket slipped off her shoulders and pooled around her waist as she sat down. Then she began to play.

Seto came home; everything at work was going well. Products have been selling he had an email from his brother telling him he would be coming home for a weekend. The only thing he wasn't pleased about was coming home, because she was here.
He still wasn't use to it; normally it takes him a short time to get use to new things. He's not sure if he will ever get use to it. He refused to let one girl make him a stranger in his own home.
He pushed open the door from the garage, he took one step, but he stopped. Seto almost dropped his brief case. He hasn't heard the sound of the piano in a very, very, very long time.
He made his way to the music room. Seto remembered how Mokuba and he would mess around with all the instruments. Mokuba on the drums, and him on the electric guitar or the keyboard, which broke a few years ago, it was an accident. Seto hasn't replaced it and never will it has too many memories. He liked the sound of the classic piano better anyway.
He quietly opened the door. He didn't want to interrupt the playing. He had an idea of who it was. He didn't want to scare her. He poked his head in and saw he was right, he smirked, and she was playing one of his favorites.
Serenity played a song that could be a duet, but it didn't really have too. She learned in school that was the only time she played this song as a duet.
"If I was doing a duet they would come in right here," she thought.
Before she could play again hands came from behind her and started to play the second part. Serenity jumped, it startled her when he started to play. She knew who it was, by his hands. Once his hands started to play, she waited for her part to come in.
They played together not saying a word. They sat side by side playing the piano. They played a few more pieces together; both trying to outplay the other, but surprising the other when they kept up.
Serenity's fever started to act up again, her body longed for her bed. Serenity was fighting off sleep, until it overtook her. Her fingers slid off the piano keys and her head falling gently on Seto's shoulder.
Seto stiffened, and turned to see why his shoulder was being used for a pillow. At first he wondered what her game was, until he saw that she was asleep. At that moment she reminded him of Mokuba. He shut the case over the keys and gently picked her up and carried her to her room.
