Hi there! :) This is my very first publication! Please feel free to review me, I would love to know what you think!

OH AND I DON'T YUGIOH WHATSOEVER!

Anyway this chapter starts out with Serenity and Mokuba talking about how Seto doesn't like his girlfriend. Seto later comes in and it is in Serenity's point of view. Bear with me with this chapter, I know it's a little slow but it's the pilot for the next juicy chapter, I promise! Scout's honor!

So please enjoy!

It's been about a month now, since I came to live with my brother and everything has been fine. Sure, Joey can be a little messy and lazy sometimes, but I don't mind cleaning and taking care of the around the house chores. IT was the least I can do for all that he has for me.

My mother has always been a traveler of business which would mean that she would leave her daughter alone the majority of the time. The only perfect alternative would be to let me move in with Joey who was working and able to fend for himself and I but I really hope I can find a job so he doesn't have to solely provide for us both.

The way home seemed to go on endless today… I'm not ill or anything but it's more that I hardly slept at all last night. My mom had said that she would call but with all night of waiting, the telephone only rang for my brother from girlfriend Mai Valentine.

Mai comes around a lot and if she is not around, Joey visits her. Of course I do not mind Mai's presences at our home that would be ridiculous, especially when she is so very nice. She is practically like a sister to me. Actually she will be my sister when one day Joey proposes. I cannot wait for that day!

As much as I love how my brother and Mai are happy together, it is also quite a lonely process for me. When Joey is not home, it is just me and my chores or homework or the television. There are times when Mai takes me shopping and I go along with Joey's friends; Yugi and them.

To be honest, they are very nice but for some reason I still feel like I'm not exactly in a circle with them. Is that ungrateful of me to say that? There are many lost souls out there that who haven't any friends and not a home to stay.

Sighing, I continued my way home; exhausted from the day and of my ridiculous thinking.

As I walked the busy streets, I looked up ahead and I could see a short girl with blonde hair rushing my way. She looked familiar, I recognize that sweet angelic face from somewhere but I couldn't really pin point where.

The girl seems to be in a rush because she was sprinting as fast as she could, like she was trying to get away from something or someone.

For a moment, I thought that I should move to the side and give her room but I could tell that she was watching her, at least I thought so. Pretty soon, I felt a hard collision with her head to where my ribs were.

It didn't hurt much and she was small so I didn't loose my stance but merely jolted a bit. The small girl on the other hand fell on her behind and the hard concrete.

Quickly, I approached her and knelt in front of her to lend out a hand, "Are you all right, I'm sorry I should have moved."

She took no hesitation in accepting it, "Its okay. I wasn't really watching where I was going."

Just as I pulled her up, I saw at the corner of my eye someone coming this way as well. It was a boy who was just about taller than the girl I was helping to her feet. He had hair all the way down to his back and it was dark black. He looks familiar too…

Wait a minute… OH yes that's Mokuba Kaiba, he had grown a bit the last time I saw him which was at the battle city finals. His older brother… I believe his brother's name is Seto.

The younger Kaiba rushed to us but I notice that his attention was on the girl because he didn't look at me directly at all. His eyes were all on her.

"Rebecca, are you all right?" Mokuba asked worriedly with a hint of passionate care.

Rebecca averted her face away from him, not even giving the decency of answering a simple question.

Oh yes, I have seen her before. Rebecca… I have forgotten her last name but I'm sure I have seen once before. Rebecca has too have grown a little from the last encounter. She no longer looks so much childish but her face still held innocence and she wore glasses now.

"Rebecca, come on. You can't be mad at me for what happened." The teenage boy pleaded with Rebecca. When she didn't answer her again, he grasped onto her arm and shook it. "Rebecca, at least say something."

Finally she let a sigh in a great defeat, "Mokuba, I'm too tired to deal with this. I don't want to." Prying off his hand, she sprinted off in the opposite direction.

"Rebecca wait!" Mokuba cried but it was too late, she was gone fast. He looked down, completely hurt. What a poor boy…

"What is wrong Mokuba, what happened between you and Rebecca?" I asked, hoping I can console him in whatever he will tell me.

For the first time he turned his attention to me, looking very sad, "Oh it's you Serenity…"

Smiling softly, I asked again, "What is it Mokuba? Did something happen to Rebecca?"

Before he could answer me, he looked around suspiciously then turns his attention towards me, "We should just continue walking. Since my brother is pretty famous, we get little privacy."

I nodded, understanding completely and followed besides him as we started the route home.

"You see Serenity, Rebecca and I sort of… Been what you call an item…" Mokuba said after a while of walking.

It was growing dark too and I'm sure Joey is worried if I'm not home soon but I'll explain it to him later. Mokuba seems really sad, I wonder if I can help, but for me to help him, I would need to know what happened.

The small teenager went on, "It's been almost a year now since she and I have been together but Seto didn't know until yesterday. Today we all had lunch together, I wanted Seto to get to know her."

He stopped explaining for a moment as to rethink of the moment, bit by bit, feeling terrible I bet, "Seto has always been a straight forward person but I didn't think that he would tell her directly that he didn't think that she is good enough for me."

Oh, so that is why Rebecca appeared so upset. I would have been heartbroken to after hearing that. "I'm sorry to hear that Mokuba, but you are the one that is in control of your life, not your older brother. If you want to be with Rebecca, show her that she is worthy."

It's not fair of me to be advising Mokuba to disregard his elder brother but it didn't seem to be even fairer that Seto Kaiba would make an innocent girl feel like she isn't worthy to be with the one she loves.

For as much as I know Seto Kaiba and from what I heard of my brother; he is over protective of his younger brother but a jerk to most people that he feels less superior than he is. My brother has his share of rude remarks towards Seto Kaiba but I never listen.

From the first time I saw Seto Kaiba, It was during the Battle city finals. I must admit that he is quite handsome, hence would be the reason why my female classmates find him so irresistible.

On the outer appearance, he may seem rude, harsh, vain, and mean but for some reason I don't believe he is truly like that. I saw from his beautiful blue eyes… That he is just as lost and lonely as any human would be…

The sound of Mokuba's voice brought me away from my thoughts and my attention at the current situation again, "I don't really know who to blame… Should I blame Seto or should I blame myself? If I were to know that today would have end like this, I would have never planned it."

Blaming himself is the last thing he should do, "Mokuba, you know sooner or later that your brother would have to meet her and it isn't your fault."

"So it's Seto's?" He seemed really unsure of that as he looked at me questioningly.

That is hard to say and I really don't know an answer so I kept silent for a moment to search for one mentally.

A long stretched limousine soon pulled up next to Mokuba and me while we were walking. We stopped when it parked. Mokuba seemed to be already feeling dread at the moment he noticed it.

The driver got out of the limousine to open the passenger door. From the inside stepped out who I was just thinking about; Seto Kaiba.

His outfit was the usual from the previous times I have seen him, except this time his long unbuttoned trench coat was black with a grey v-neck shirt underneath that and dark jeans to match. Around his neck was a silver chain with a dueling card as a sign.

I must confess silently to myself he's mesmerizing, especially his eyes… So dark but enchanting…

Seto Kaiba approaches his brother with his hands hidden in his pants pocket, looking indifferent. "Mokuba, it's late, let's go home." He said to his little brother, his voice was soft but still had some intimidation.

Mokuba stood still and averted his eyes away from his brother, "Actually, I was planning to go over Rebecca's and apologies…"

Kaiba sighed annoyingly, "That is ridiculous, it's past your curfew. I do not need my little brother staying out all because of a girl."

"I'm only staying out late because of what you said to her. I shouldn't have to apologies to her if you hadn't been so mean." Mokuba argued defensively, but when he realized what he said, I could tell he was as taken back by his outburst as I was.

I honestly thought that Seto would throw a fit, no one says anything like that to him but he didn't. He said, "It's the truth, I can't ignore that I don't think you should either."

The younger one fought back but this time he was softer in his voice, "Seto that doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter if she isn't rich like we are."

Here I am as a bystander and I couldn't help but feel touched by what Mokuba claimed to feel for Rebecca.

His brother on the other hand only let out another irritated sigh, "I don't want to have this talk here and now. We'll talk about it at home. Now let's go."

"Okay Seto…" He sauntered sullenly to the limo and climbed inside.

The infamous Seto Kaiba was going to follow after but for some reason I decided to be brave and state my feelings towards the current situation.

"Excuse me…?" I said and immediately regret it but there is no turning back now. Seto turned around and we were eye and I. Well I had to look up a bit, he was so tall. I'm sure I only reach up to his chest.

He waited for my answer and I summoned up the courage to give it to him, "Why must you interfere with Mokuba's relationship with Rebecca. If he doesn't not mind that she isn't as wealthy as your family why must you care…?"

"Who are you to question me about the affairs of our family? For your information, it is for Mokuba's own good. I will not let some girl come after for his money not for his affection." The handsome guy crossed his arms and went on defensively, "I have a right to protect my brother from bottom feeding women."

In a light non-argumentative tone I replied to his statement, "But you don't even know Rebecca. She may not be that sort of girl. Mokuba seems to trust her and lover her. If you do not trust her, then you should trust your brother to know he is smart enough not to get tricked."

"He is still young to realize how manipulative and devious women are. I am merely trying to prevent those women from taking advantage of him."

His eyes looked me over and then stopped at my eyes again which sort sent a emotion jolt through my body. "You look familiar." He stated and then it clicked in his mind of who I was, "You're the mutt's sister."

His lips parted to probably insult my brother or me but stopped when a light ripped across the almost night sky which accompanied by a loud boom and the unfortunate rain. Each drop came heavily down to the earth and it's people and object's.

I for one am already soaked instantly. If this dragged on further, not only I will get ill, Seto Kaiba will as well.

In respect and courtesy I bowed slightly, "I must go. Pardon me."

I didn't get a chance to hear a response or see his face when I realize the rain was getting heavier. As fast as I could, my legs rushed on the way home before I can actually catch pneumonia.
