Rightfully Mine

Summary: SxS but maybe SxT This story starts out with a happy young couple coming together cheerfully wedded. This story has a happy ending but it won't be so easily achieved. There will be twists of fate and devastating feelings of loss and rejectment. For now let's look at a few things that had happened before this couple had gotten together. By the way this segment you're about to read is in fact just a pre-read so don't go ballistic upon it if you've missed it.

Pre-Read (just for you to keep in mind):

Flashback to four years before the marriage took place.

"Wut!" Shouted a heavily Brooklyn accented male.

"Big brother I..." A small feminine voice was interrupted.

"How could ya go out wit day freak! Serenity!"

The girl named Serenity cowarded at the tone her older brother used upon her.

"Serenity..." He tried in a softer tone, "I just want the best for you, yah know dat righ'?"

"Yeah, I know that Joey..." She stepped out from behind the couch and continued, "But I feel as though he is the one!"

"But Ren!"

"He's so sweet at times and he's charming and he has such pretty eyes..." Serenity trailed off as she sighed and swooned on to the couch.

"Are we talkin' bout' the same snobby, ego-inflated rich bastard!" Joey shouted in frustration.

"He is but I think that he's only mean to you big brother..."

"Wha? How can yah say dat Ren?" Joey looked gloomy as he brooded over the fact.

"I mean it Joey... I mean do you see the way he treats Yugi now? He treats him as a friend... Well he doesn't yell at him anymore so I would consider that an improvement. He also acknowledged that Atem exists and he let's Mokuba hang out with us. That's a huge accomplishment and improvement on his part. He also doesn't call Tristan a unicorn headed freak anymore or tell Duke that he should shove all of his dies up his ass much either..."

"Serenity..."

"Look at how he treats Tea now! He practically talks to her like she's his sister and they don't argue...much anymore! He converses with Ryou sometimes too instead of ingnoring him. He still is hostile with Marik, Malik, and Bakura but they're scary so I don't think they count. And Joey?" Joey looked up at Serenity who was standing before him. "He doesn't call Mai the dueling barbie anymore!"

While Serenity was spouting about Seto Kaiba and all of his good charms Joey had been sitting on the livingroom coffeetable rolling his eyes at her.

"But Sis!"

"Don't 'but Sis' me!" Joey was taken aback by his sister's tone.

"He's nice and caring to me and I love him Joey! And you can't do anything in the world to make me change my mind! I love you Joey I really do so I understand that you are just trying to protect me, but I have a feeling that he's the one and I'm keeping him!" Serenity began skipping away but before she dissapered she added, "Oh, and Joey? YOu better be nice to hime because he is going to be your brother in-law soon!"

That knocked Joey out of his reverie. He ran to Serenity but she was safely in her room to hear Joey's spouts of anger from afar.
