A/N: Hi everyone, I was asked by loveSetoxSerenity4ever to finish this story which is owned by xSereneMeadowsx, because she is going back to college and this semester will have her very busy. I was so honoured when I received this request! ^_^ This is my first time doing something like this and I will do it to the best of my ability. So all of you SetoxSerenity fans out there, I really hope you like this story. I personally don't favour that couple, but some of my favourite fanfics are from this couple. The story was up on already, but she took it down and I was asked to re-upload the chapters. I have done so; the only changes I will make are grammatical errors and alignment errors, if any. Please note: Chapters 1 -3 are originally written by xSereneMeadowsx, any chapters written beyond that point, are written by me. Fans of this story, I really hope, you like the direction I will take this story. Oh and the name Analia is pronounced Ah-Naw-Lia if anyone was wondering.
Disclaimer: xSereneMeadowsx does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! However the plot is hers.
On to the story =)
Chapter 1
Serenity Wheeler got up from her bed, stretching out her limbs to wake them up from slumber. She gave a yawn and headed towards her bathroom. Showering and deciding on what to wear, Serenity chose to wear a simple light pink dress with pink flats. She soon was in her kitchen making breakfast for herself.
She enjoyed the little apartment she was currently living in. The large glass window in her living room gave her a spectacular view of Domino City. As she finished up cooking, Serenity sat down on her plush, dark blue couch taking a bite of toast. She glanced out the window, sadness written in her hazel eyes. She was thankful it was Sunday, meaning she didn't have work to today, however, that just wasn't enough to make her feel content.
Finishing up her meal, Serenity put her plate in the dishwasher and decided she would pay a visit to her mother. It has been a while since I've seen her, she thought as she brushed her teeth, making sure no food particles were left in her pearly whites.
Serenity made her way out of her apartment and to the car garage. She entered her red Hyundai Accent and pulled out of the garage. The drive was very scenic passing by all of the skyscrapers and the ocean. Her mom's house wasn't too far from Downtown Domino and the neighborhood was pleasantly quaint.
She parked her car and stepped out, taking in the sights and smells of the flowers her mother had planted. She knocked on the white oak door and was instantly greeted by her mom's tired, but lively brown eyes.
"Oh Serenity! What a surprise! Come in!" Emiko, Serenity's mother, stepped aside to allow her daughter to enter the house.
Serenity smiled at her mom and walked in, It was always nice to see her mom's home; It was old fashioned, but neat and tidy nonetheless.
"What brings you over here?" Emiko asked getting herself and Serenity some iced tea.
"I…I wanted to just get out and to see you since it's been a while…" Serenity took the glass from her mom and sipped the tea. "Could we sit out on the porch?"
"Sure." Emiko smiled.
Serenity followed her mother outside and sat down in a white floral chair. Emiko sat next to her daughter in the same kind of chair.
"Serenity, what's on your mind?" Emiko could read her daughter like an open book. One look in Serenity's hazel eyes told her that something was not sitting well with the auburn haired girl.
Serenity sighed, she may as well say what was wrong; it would make her feel better. "I'm sad that I've never had a real boyfriend before. I mean I know Tristan and Duke really liked me back in high school, but they were annoying to be honest; especially Duke, they weren't even my type. I just wish I could meet a man, and know right then and there that he's the guy I'm looking for." She closed her eyes then laid her head down on the brim of the floral chair with her face pointing towards the sky.
Emiko smiled. "Sweetie, you'll find the right man someday. He just hasn't shown up yet."
"How can you be so sure?!" Serenity found it hard to believe, considering that she hadn't even been on a real date before. That fact alone upset her greatly.
"Trust me when I say this. Love comes your way unexpectedly." Emiko put a hand on her daughter's shoulder.
Serenity looked across at her mom, sadness still etched in her eyes. "I guess…"
"Try not to think about it so much now. Why don't we change subjects?" Emiko patted Serenity's back.
Serenity gave a small smile. "Okay…" Deep down, she was still disappointed. Her brother Joey was living with the girl of his dreams and Serenity was happy for him, but also jealous. She did well with hiding the jealousy from her brother. She made herself sick, to think that she held such an emotion inside of her heart. I suppose it's only human. She's worked on getting rid of the sick feeling, but it wasn't very easy; but still, she tried. She didn't want to be selfish.
"Seto, how about we go to the Domino Deluxe Restaurant tonight? It's the most divine place to eat at," Analia said as she stood in front of Seto's gigantic oak desk. She brushed her fingers through her long black hair and her sapphire eyes shimmered under the lighting of the office.
Seto Kaiba sighed in a frustrated tone. "We've been there dozens of times and if you forgot, I said that I was bringing Mokuba along with us." A migraine began clawing its way through his head, pounding incessantly.
Analia groaned as she walked on the other side of the oak desk and stood behind Seto. "Why must your brother come with us? I wanted it to just be only the two of us." She wrapped her arms around him and placed them across his chest, as he was sitting in his black leather chair.
Seto removed her arms to stand up. "Look, you and I can do something tomorrow. Just the two of us." He was about ready to punch the wall. Analia was the last person he wanted to deal with at the moment.
"But Seto…" Analia moaned.
Seto growled. "Analia, please leave. Now!"
Analia gasped. "How can you treat your girlfriend this way?!"
"I'm not feeling well and I have a lot of work to do. I told you before, I can't always be talking to you while in the office. I have a company to run!" Seto rubbed his temples.
Analia huffed and stalked out of the office.
Seto watched Analia leave and walked towards his windows. His cerulean blue eyes scanned the scenery and he ran a hand through his chestnut-brown hair. His headache increased rapidly and he truly wished he could have some peace and relaxation in his life. Running a multi-billion dollar company was no easy feat. Especially when he was in high school, it nearly sucked the life out of him. Luckily his little brother was there to help him stay on his feet. He was thankful to have Mokuba in his life. He loved his little brother more than anyone, even his own girlfriend.
As much as Mokuba tried convincing Seto to break up with the 'oh so wonderful' Analia, Seto knew he couldn't do that. He tried explaining to Mokuba why he couldn't, but the fourteen year old couldn't comprehend it. Seto had made a profitable business deal with the brat's father and the father in turn wanted him to date his daughter. More like 'Here, you put up with her now so I don't have to.' Seto wasn't a very patient person and he and Analia had so many ups and downs in their relationship that it tore Seto up limb from limb (mentally speaking of course).
Hours passed by and Seto was finally able to head out of the office to pick up his brother and Analia from the mansion. He couldn't wait to see Mokuba; however he wasn't looking forward to seeing Analia again. Unfortunately, Analia was living with him and his brother but he wanted to be far, far, away from her. Leaving the office, he got into his sleek black limo; and closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the head-board. The ride ended quickly with the driver opening the door to let Seto out of the long car.
Here we go…Seto made his way towards the tall, massive mahogany doors. He pushed them open and was knocked down to the waxed floor, being greeted by a mass of black hair.
"Hey Seto!" Mokuba exclaimed. His grey eyes gleamed with happiness upon seeing his older brother. Although he was a teenager, he still loved bringing his big brother down with his 'bear hugs.'
Seto hugged Mokuba. "Hey Mokuba." He found his little brother silly for still acting like a ten year old.
Analia walked over towards the brothers. "Hey Seto dear."
"Evening." Seto let go of Mokuba and stood up. The outfit his girlfriend was wearing was rather…revealing. He really didn't like some of the clothes she chose to wear, especially when around his little brother. The dress was black and barely went past her bottom, showing lots of cleavage. It was a non strap 'dress.'
"Well, let's get going!" Analia said unusually cheerful as she brushed past the brothers.
Mokuba raised an eyebrow at Analia's disappearing person. "Seriously…she's wearing that?"
Seto looked at Mokuba. "Unfortunately. It seems I'll have to talk to her about that again." I swear she does this on purpose. In fact, he already knew she was doing this as she planned it in her 'brain' of hers. Sometimes, the girl really didn't think for herself and that drove Seto off of the wall. I just have to get through this dinner and then we can be away from all the stupid media and I can finally be in my room away from Analia.
The duo headed out the door and towards the awaiting limo. They then went to a fairly expensive restaurant called Apple Tree Restaurant and Seto hoped the night would go smoothly and would go by extremely fast.
