Disclaimer- Don't own, what's new?
Okay, I know that I haven't been on in forever and my last one-shot was less than perfect, but here I am trying to justify this crazy thing that I call writing. Oh and in case anyone wanted to know, all my fics are around the time period of Battle City, unless otherwise stated. Enough about me, enjoy (and hopefully review) this latest chaptered fic about my fav pairing SetoxSerenity!
Seto Kaiba always had an imbalance in his life, a part missing from himself. All he really needed was to achieve peace and Serenity. S
-Achieving Peace and Serenity- CH.1
"I can't believe you talked me into this, Mokuba", Seto Kaiba groaned as he fixed his trench coat and stared unhappily at his school uniform. Mokuba was flipping through a magazine labeled Duel Monsters Weekly and reclining casually on a dark blue couch in his brother's lavish bedroom, "Trust me Seto, you'll enjoy school this year."
"Why would this year be any different from the last three?" Kaiba scowled.
"It's your last year! You might even make some friends."
Kaiba thought sourly that he didn't need any friends, but he kept quiet, his brother had looked so pleased with himself when he finally convinced Seto to finish school instead of focusing all his time at KaibaCorp. Its true that a Kaiba could do anything when they put their mind to it, how else would a teenager be the CEO and president of a worldwide company worth billions of dollars?
Seto grabbed his laptop off of his large oak desk and placed inside his silver briefcase. "Let's go Mokuba," He commanded. Mokuba hopped to his feet and ditched his magazine to a nearby end table. They made their way out down the granite staircase and out of the foyer to wait for their limo to pull around. Seto frowned as he saw that a few of his favorite blue roses were wilting. He had always took pride in his rare assortment of blue flowers (who would of thought that Kaiba liked gardening?) that he kept around and inside the mansion. He made a mental note to fire whoever was in charge of watering the gardens.
The sleek, black limo pulled into the Kaiba's cobblestone drive way and the chauffeur got out and offered the door to the two.
"Morning, Mr. Kaiba, sir," the man bowed respectfully. Seto grunted in reply and slid in next to his younger brother, who had already had out some sort of gaming device and was clicking away eagerly, a content smile plastered on his young face. He grinned slightly at his younger brother. The rod iron gates began to open to let the limo through as Seto flipped open his laptop.
He started a new document with the intention of using it for school notes. He had just begun to type when he looked out of his window and saw a familiar figure standing on the sidewalk alongside the limo in the girl's version of his school uniform. Her large hazel eyes seemed to smile on her petite porcelain face. She was saying something to the boy next to her, but his face was turned, so Seto couldn't see who it was. Where had he seen this girl before? He quickly rolled down his window, and stuck his head out as far is he could to see if he could see who the auburn-haired girl was. Alas, the limo was moving to fast and the girl faded into the distance like a mirage.
"Mokuba!" Mokuba's head popped up from his game at the sound of his brother's impatient voice , "Who was that girl?"
"What girl?" he replied , turning his head back down so as to avoid being eaten by the blinking monsters on the screen.
"Never mind." Kaiba sank back down into his seat, but couldn't get the girl out of his mind. Who was she?
...
"C'mon big brother. We're going to be late!" Serenity tried to rush her brother along the sidewalk even though he was engrossed in his breakfast burrito, when a long black limo sped in front of them. She could of sworn that she saw Seto Kaiba's head poke out of one of the windows, but she was probably mistaken. Serenity let out a sigh, secretly she wished it would have been him, she had always kind of admired him after she met him in Battle City. He wasn't exactly friendly, or approachable for that matter, but he was really sweet to his littler brother. He reminded me a little bit of Joey in a strange way. Speaking of Joey... "Joey! We have to go. I really don't want to be late." Joey swallowed a huge bite but refused to hurry up. Serenity told him that she would just meet him there.
"Okay, okay, 'Ren. Just go ahead, and I promise tomorrow we'll catch the bus."
Serenity gave her brother a quick hug and got on her way to her first day at Joey's high school. She loved her big brother more than anything in the world, but sometimes he could be a pain in the, well, you know. The rest of the walk was relatively short, and with her fast pace, Serenity had made it to the school early. She had a younger student point her to wear the office was. He seemed a little surprised that she was talking to him, but finally managed to tell her where it was. She smiled a pleasant 'thank you' smile and started walking in the direction he had pointed her.
"Did ya see that?" the boy whispered to all his friends excitedly.
Serenity grasped the handle to the door with the words 'OFFICE' printed in big block letters on it. She was greeted with the exasperated faces of the office ladies trying hopelessly to sort through all the students and paperwork that come with the new school year. People were running around the crowded office and papers were strewn everywhere.
"Um, excuse me. Miss?" Serenity tried, and failed, to get the attention of one of the staff members. "Hello? Can anybody help me?" attempted, but her small voice was drowned out yet again by all the commotion.
"That's no way to get thing done," a deep voice sounded behind her.
She spun around to find the owner of the voice, but instead found herself face-to-chest with Seto Kaiba himself. Serenity's face felt about a million degrees as she stared up at him with her mouth agape, resembling a very red goldfish. She couldn't think of a single thing to say! Kaiba smirked down at her for a minute, but then turned his attention to the women scrambling around behind the partition, "Listen! I need the schedule for Miss..." He gestured to Serenity.
Serenity's brain clicked into gear as she practically whispered, "Serentiy Wheeler."
"Yes Mister Kaiba!" one of the women dashed off into a back room to retrieve what he needed.
Wheeler! That's where I know her from. She's the sister of that third-rate duelist, Joey Wheeler. Seto Kaiba thought to himself, pleased. Funny, they look nothing alike. Within minutes a file with 'Serentiy Wheeler' scrawled across the top was placed in his hands.
"Here." He shoved the file into her hands and proceeded to get his own schedule. "Thank you! I would have never been able to get it myself."
"Yeah, probably."
"Oh," Serenity looked a bit hurt, but quickly brushed it off, "Well, thank you anyway, it meant a lot." She bowed out of respect and turned to leave.
"Don't mention it," Kaiba replied. It was barely more than a whisper, but Serenity heard it and smiled to herself as she left the office and into the crowded hall. Okay Serenity, where to? She looked down at her schedule. Honors English was her first class. And yes, that class is only for seniors, but Serenity was bumped up to the next grade since she's so smart. After a few minutes of maneuvering around students, she found her locker and her next class.
She let out a sigh of relief as she made her way into the classroom. She chose a seat towards the back and set up her notebooks. She had already focused in on what was written on the board for the students to copy down that she didn't even notice that a person had chosen a seat next to her and sat down. She finished writing down the paragraph and looked up, her surroundings coming into focus. It was then that she became aware of the person next to her. The azure eyes of Seto Kaiba were intently focused on her own hazel ones. She struggled for words, the second time today. "Uh, hi," was all she could manage.
"It looks like we'll be seeing each other a lot more." He shook his brown locks out of his eyes and turned back to the board.
"Uh-huh," she squeaked.
Well, this is as good a time as any to stop. Let me know what you guys think, but for your own safety-don't flame. I know its kinda OOC and all that, but how did I do for the first chapter? All right, I hope to see you next chapter!
