Chapter 1
Mokuba was walking away from his brother's office as he smiled at the thought that he had once again convinced his brother to do something against his will. Well, it wasn't really his fault that his brother was affected by his puppy eyes right? This time his brother was half asleep AND he used his puppy eyes which would result to something...but what?
Mokuba had done it. He had made Kaiba, the Seto Kaiba take ballet classes and he even had the proof of it. He had made his brother sign a contract. He knew that his brother would NEVER wear a tutu or wear those outfits made for ballet. He also knew that he would just go there, watch the girls and insult them, then come back home and tell him that it was fine. The last time he made him go and take hip hop lessons. Kaiba had gone there for three weeks when Mokuba decided to peek in and see how his brother was doing. He had seen him insulting some of the girls and standing aside so they can try to "impress"him. Mokuba frowned at that thought. All he wanted was for his dear brother Seto to get a girlfriend. That's why he had sent him to all the places that he had seen many girls in. First, the school plays, then the beauty salon (amazing how Seto is hypnotized by Mokuba. Did you see the episode in duelist kingdom where he saw Mokuba when he was about to duel Pegasus? Proves my point.) then hip hop lessons and now ballet. Hopefully Seto will find a girlfriend soon because I'm running out of ideas of where girls hang out! Thought Mokuba. He just prayed once more then went to his bed and instantly fell asleep.
The next morning Kaiba arose to a wave of light through his window. He was very tired and decided to sleep in longer. Anyway, it was Saturday. After about an hour after he first woke up, Mokuba came rushed into his bedroom.
"Seto! Seto! Wake up! You have ballet lessons today!"screamed Mokuba.
"H..huh?"replied a drowsy Seto "WHAT! Mokuba! I am NOT going to ballet lessons!"
"Oh yes you are! You promised and this time. You even signed a contract!" Mokuba said as he stuck out his tongue.
"WHAT! Mokuba! UGH! FINE! YOU WIN!" Kaiba screamed at the top of his lungs right at Mokuba's face.
Mokuba pretended to be hurt and cried right into Seto's face. " Y..you don't have to go S..seto..." sniffed Mokuba."I..It would mean s..so much to me though.."he wailed.
If there was one thing that Kaiba couldn't take was seeing Mokuba cry. He didn't know how to comfort him since he wasn't an expert at that. So he did what he thought was right. He spoke softly and Mokuba still didn't stop. He had one more attempt and decided why not use it. He started to sing softly. He sang in a melodious voice which left Mokuba to stare at him with wide shocked eyes. Seto smiled at his accomplishment and headed toward the bathroom. Mokuba smiled and shouted " Your lessons start in two hours!" before the tall figure completely disappeared.
About an hour and fifty minutes later, Kaiba's limousine parked in the lot of a tall building which said Girlz Rule and under it, it said. Provided by Kaiba Corporations. Kaiba sighed because 1) he didn't know that he provided money for this girly place 2) He had to take lessons from someone who was probably getting her pay from Kaiba Corporations and 3) HE HAD TO TAKE LESSONS WITH STUPID GIRLS! He wasn't in the mood to face girls. (Like he ever was) He wanted to get his two hours over with so he can go back home and work so he decided to go in. He went to the receptionist and asked where the ballet class was.
"Excuse me." Kaiba asked. No answer. He started to become impatient. " EXCUSE ME!" he screamed.
"Yes dear?" an old woman turned around to answer him. " You don't have to ye-" she was in mid sentence when she noticed who was standing in front of her. "O...oh..Mr. Kaiba! Good morning sir! How are you doing? Asked the old woman in a cheery voice.
"Fine." muttered Kaiba.
"Is there anything I can help you with sir?" she asked kindly.
"Yes. Where's the dancing room for the ballet lessons?" muttered Kaiba.
"May I ask why you are asking?" she said.
"I am taking ballet lessons" muttered Kaiba in a small voice.
" I don't think I got that" said the old woman.
" Nothing. How do I know who's taking which ballet class?" Kaiba said trying to stay calm.
" You didn't answer my question yet." said the old lady with a stupid grin on her face.
" Just give me the freaking schedule already!" screamed Kaiba losing his patience.
"Yes sir." she handed him over a schedule and quickly scampered away to do something else.
He looked at the schedule. He was due to go to level two of the building and class number seven. He was skimming through who was in his class when he froze. He saw that name. That dreaded last name of his enemy. He saw that the first name wasn't Joey though. It was Serenity. He just hoped and prayed that she wasn't related to that mutt. As if on cue, he heard that dreaded voice that he prayed he would not hear.
"Yo sis. You'll be okay right? I 'll stay wit ya if ya want. I don wan ya gettin hurt an all." came the Brooklyn accent from Joey.
"I'll be fine Joey." replied the childish voice of Serenity.
Then something terrible happened.(In Kaiba's words.) Joey had spotted Kaiba.
"Yo moneybags! What are ya doin here?" asked a confused Joey.
" None of your business mutt." replied a pissed off Kaiba.
Then Joey had noticed that Kaiba was holding a schedule. " hey moneybags! Your not gonna take ballet classes right?" Joey curiously asked while forming a mischievous grin.
"yes" replied Kaiba.
Although Joey was dumb, we all know that dogs have a good sense of hearing right? So Joey had heard. As soon as he understood what Kaiba had just said ( which took a few minutes) he burst into a laughter. Kaiba just fumed and walked away. He wanted to kick the heck out of him but this wasn't the place to do so.
Kaiba stood in front of the classroom. So this is ballet class Kaiba thought. He walked in and saw many girls in pink tutu's and gymnastic outfits.
" Good morning Mr. Kaiba. I will be your teacher for ballet class. Please change into this outfit and we will begin." said a feminine voice.
Kaiba just stared at that skimpy small outfit that she gave him. He stared blankly at the wall in the changing room. No way was he going to wear this ridiculous outfit. He stormed out of the room and threw the outfit at the teacher. This was going to be a very long day for him. As in a VERY long day.
" Mokuba ...I'm going to get you for this" Kaiba muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me Mr. Kaiba, but why aren't you in the outfit?" questioned a very confused and angry teacher who was in the middle of doing some stretches.
"I am NOT going to change into that...that RIDICULOUS outfit!" fumed Kaiba.
"Yes you are! It's mandatory that you wear this outfit! You need to wear it to learn how to dance and do gymnastic moves!" exclaimed the teacher.
"It is not mandatory since I am NOT going to learn how to do gymnastic moves or dance! And if you want to keep your job, then you will not talk back to me any further!" shouted Kaiba.
"As a matter of fact, I do not work for Kaiba corp. I work for Dance Diva industries.(I know, sucky name.)" replied the teacher while pointing her nose higher as if in saying that she won the argument. " Now without further ado's, please go change into the outfit that I gave you.
Kaiba was pissed. He NEVER lost an argument and he wasn't about to start. " As a matter of fact, I own Dance Diva Industries and I can fire you whenever I want." Kaiba said mockingly.
The teacher whimpered showing that it was sign of victory for Kaiba. He smirked and went to the corner of the room to watch what insults he could throw at the girls he saw today. He looked through all the girls and came to a specific girl. He remembered her as the mutt's sister. She didn't look a thing like the mutt. Maybe I could have some fun here after all thought Kaiba. All the girls were doing stretches and flexing out their bodies and he realized that the Wheelerete wasn't as graceful as he thought she would be. She seemed more uncomfortable in her position and he also noticed that she wasn't very flexible. When it came to doing cartwheels and somersaults, he noticed that she always backed out into a corner. The teacher also noticed that she wasn't really participating in the practices and warm ups and decided to pick on her.
" Miss. Wheeler." started the teacher.
"Please call me Serenity"she said meekly.
"Alright. Serenity. Will you please do a cartwheel followed by a back flip for us?" ordered the teacher.
"Um..um..I can't" she said shyly and quietly.
The teacher had to strain to hear her but did manage to. " And why is that Serenity?" asked the teacher who was a bit confused.
" I bet it's because she can't do gymnastics." Kaiba said as he snickered. She looked hurt. Like I care thought Kaiba.
" That's not it is it?" asked the teacher.
"Actually, it's true." she confessed.
" But in your form it said you took gymnastics for two years." said the teacher.
"Yes, but that was when I was six and after I became blind, I barely was even allowed to walk, so I don't remember anything." she said sorrowfully.
Kaiba's POV
I felt a sudden pang of guilt but it soon was gone since I wasn't about to go to the mutt's sister and apologize. Everybody except for me went up to her and patted her and told her that they were sorry for her. For some odd reason, she smiled at me with a glitter in her eyes that seem to have been saying that she appreciated me for not going up to her.
Serenity's POV
I regretted saying that I was blind because as soon as I did, everybody came up to me to say that they felt sorry for me. One thing I hated more than anything was pity. All my life I was pitied, either because I was small and I couldn't protect myself or that I was blind. I hated the feeling. It seemed that I always depended on someone to help me. That was true because I always depended on my brother to protect me and he has. He went through many rough times just for me. He stood there instead of me when my dad was beating me up, he risked going to jail when he went to Duelist kingdom so that he could have a chance to get the money to pay for my operation and he even lost his favorite duel monster card when he was on his way to be with me during the operation. And every time that I wasn't protected by my brother, I cried like a baby. I knew I was weak, a wimp and too dependant. I knew that I couldn't save myself from anyone even if all my friends and families' lives depended on me. I just looked around and smiled weakly at the people who were crowding me and saying they were sorry. I noticed that one person wasn't here. Seto Kaiba wasn't here near me nor was he feeling sorry for me. I appreciated that. For once in my life, someone didn't feel sorry for me. I was so happy at the thought that someone didn't expect me to ask for their help that I didn't notice the smile that crept up my face.
