Summary: Sequel to "Falling In Love With You All Over Again". Seto Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba and Serenity Wheeler-Kaiba have just moved to Duelist Academy. Mokuba isn't getting along to well with Atticus Rhodes because he keeps hitting on Serenity. But Serenity thinks he's just a sweet boy willing to help her. And to make it worse for Mokuba, he falls for Alexis's good looks… sadly he's a little too late, since Zane Truesdale got there first.

"Seto where'd you put my… oh never mind!" Serenity said pulling on her tank top.
"Ren do you want to come to the meeting that I have today?" Kaiba asked coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing his pajamas and his hair was mussed but he still looked like Kaiba, only a softer side.
"I don't know. Is that Crowler kid going to be there?" Serenity asked pulling up hair up into a loose bun.
"Yes but you'll be able to meet some of the students. The whole school has to come, I talk a little bit he talks a lot a bit and then that's about it."
"Sounds boring but I'll be the good CEO's wife and come a long. Do I look all right?" Serenity asked standing in front of Kaiba.
"Always." Kaiba murmured giving her a sweet kiss on the cheek. "Now as soon as I find my clothes in all these boxes then we can go."
"Where's Mokuba?"
"Sleeping."
"But it's 8 o'clock!"
"So he's a teenager let him sleep if he wants to."
"So you're a teenager too Seto and you never sleep in!"
"I did…once."
"Uh-huh sure…"
"But it was my alarms fault not mine."
"You need more sleep. Tonight I'm turning off your alarm."
"Then when you leave I'll turn it back on." Kaiba said pulling on his trench coat.
"Then I'll sleep in here."
"In my bed?" Kaiba asked poking her lightly in the stomach.
"Don't be silly. I'll sleep… um… on the floor." Serenity said defiantly.
"If you can find floor space." Kaiba said taking her hand. "Now let's go."
Serenity sat next to Dr. Crowler feeling rather odd. Kaiba was sitting on the other side of Crowler and kept looking over at her. Just to check and make sure she was okay. Crowler got up and smiled his lipstick-y smile making Serenity want to puke.
"All right settle down. I have a special treat. Mr. Seto Kaiba is here to talk to you!"
Everyone clapped but looked extremely bored.
"Mr. Kaiba." Crowler said waving him up to stand next to him. Kaiba got up and took his spot.
"Hey who's that chick?" Chazz Princeton asked poking Atticus Rhodes.
"I think that's Kaiba's wife…" Alexis said matter-of-factly.
"I thought it was the new teacher…" Atticus said starching his head.
"Damn she hot… can't wait to be in her class." Chazz said rubbing his hands together.
Dr. Crowler was back talking again "And this lovely lady is Mr. Kaiba's wife, Serenity Kaiba. Would you like to say anything?"
Serenity just shook her head smiling at everyone and she waved.
"Yeah I'm in love…" Chazz said waving back.
"Shut up will you?" Zane asked while Alexis petted his hair. "Um… Alexis please stop."
"Hmm? Oh sorry Zane." Alexis said putting her hand down.
"You are all dismissed." Crowler said disappointed that Serenity hadn't said anything. She hadn't even said hello to him.
Kaiba, Serenity, Dr. Crowler and Zane Truesdale were in Dr. Crowler's office discussing what Kaiba wanted to do with Zane once he was out of school.
"You see Zane you are a very accomplished duelist and you know it. I'd like you to be a duelist for well Kaiba Corporation. You will be our… duelist per say." Kaiba said pressing his fingers together, he sat in Crowler's desk Serenity at his left side. She was standing which somehow made him look scarier then normal.
"Thank you Mr. Kaiba but I would like to become a professional duelist." Zane said he was sitting across from Kaiba sitting rather ridged.
"I understand that. But I can make you number one. Of course after me, but you'll be my right hand man." Kaiba said trying the make the deal as far as possible.
"I plan to get married once I'm done with school."
"Really to whom?" Kaiba asked raising an eyebrow.
"Alexis Rhodes."
"Yes and she's a duelist. She'll be the second richest woman on the earth."
"Who's the first?" Zane asked rather confused he hadn't been listening very well when Crowler introduced Serenity.
"I am." Serenity said, "I'm Serenity Wheeler-Kaiba." Serenity said bowing her head to him.
"Oh…" Zane said nodding at her. "Let me talk it over with Alexis."
"I'll give you 48 hours if you do not answer before that the deals off and I will be asking Jaden Yuki."
Zane snorted only a little "Trust me I'll answer before then if it means that Jaden Yuki won't get the job." It wasn't that Zane didn't like Jaden. He was an okay kid, but knowing that he was Seto Kaiba the richest man on earth's right hand man would drive him up the wall.
Zane got up and left.
"You want Jaden Yuki if Zane Truesdale says no?" Dr. Crowler asked looking horrified.
"He's a good duelist from what I heard."
