Chapter 2: "You called me Seto?"

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

"Wow Seto, your brother is quite the dancer!" Serenity giggled, patting Kaiba-the-Younger's long black hair.

"Y-you called me Seto!" He said incredulously.

"Well that's your name isn't it?" Serenity laughed at Seto's reaction.

"Yes," He replied, still slightly shocked that woman he's liked since he broke it off with Tea is calling him by his first name, "Everyone else- all your friends, and your brother… they just call me 'Kaiba', why don't you?"

Mokuba had run off by this point, he figured his big brother and his crush needed some time alone (wink wink)

"Don't you like being called by your first name? Because if you don't-"

Seto put a finger to Serenity's lush lips, "Don't even finish." The two brunets leaned closer to each other and….

"KAIBA!!! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY SISTER!!!!"

Serenity pulled away from Seto and whacked her brother lightly on the forehead, "Cool it Joey. Nothing happened." /Though I wish it had… Bad Serenity! Cut that out!/

"I hope not!" Joey said, traces of anger only slightly audible in his voice, "Mom would have a cow if something did happen!"

"Yeah, yeah I know."

Seto smirked as Joey turned around and walked off, "Hey Serenity," Seto whispered, grabbing her wrist as she tried to follow her brother, "Industrial Illusions is having its annual ball/gala thing, and Kaiba corp. is always invited. I normally ask one of the cheerleaders at school to go with me but they always screw it up, so I was wondering, do you want to be my date?"

Serenity smiled cutely, "I'd love to, Seto. Just pass me the date and time and I'll be there."

"Alright. Come over to my mansion later and I'll give you all the info. Don't take this personally, but some of the stiffs that are coming, if you do one thing wrong in front of them, there will be no mercy. So, don't spazz when some of those jerks start hitting on you. Pegasus will be there, he's the worst of them, so try not to draw too much attention to fact that you're the Mutt- I mean, Joey's sister."

"Don't worry!" Serenity assured, "I'll stay as far away from that creep as I can!"

"Good."

Little did the teens know, Duke Devlin stood behind the DDR machine and had seen everything that had just happened, from Seto being called by his first name, right up to until he invited her to the ball, /Seto Kaiba has some nerve! Talking to Serenity like that…/ Duke thought angrily, as he stomped back to his place behind the counter, /I'll show him! Serenity Wheeler… is mine!/

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

"Hey Yugi!" Joey exclaimed, leaning up against the fighting-game his best friend was playing at, "Did you see what went down over there with Kaiba and my sis?"

"Yeah I did Joey." Yugi replied, glancing momentarily at Joey then back to his game, "But maybe you shouldn't have interfered."

"What?!?" Joey exclaimed again, grabbing Yugi and shaking him roughly by the shoulders, "Of course I had to interfere! Serenity's my baby sister, damn it!"

"I know." Yugi said, shrugging Joey's hands off his shoulders (And attempting to play his video game at the same time) "But Serenity is like, 16, she's old enough to make her own decisions."

Joey cooled down a little, "Yeah I guess you're right. Thanks Yugi."

"Anytime Joey, anytime."

It was at this point that Tea walked up to the machine the two friends were talking at, "Hey guys, guess what? I'm having an end-of-school party on the last day of school! Wanna' come?"

"Who else is coming?" Yugi asked, not even removing his eyes from the game-screen.

"Well, Duke is coming, Ryou's coming, Tristan'll be there, I haven't heard back from Miho, I've got your sister coming-"

"Serenity's going?"

"Yeah, I've asked Mokuba to convince Kaiba. Oh! And Marik, Ishizu, and Odion are coming from Egypt to spend his summer vacation here! Marik's going to be joining us for the last week of school."

"Tea, if you hate Kaiba so much then why bother inviting him?" Yugi questioned, inserting another 50 cents into the game.

"My mom is making me." Tea sneered, "I don't get it, why does he even go to school? I mean he owns a multimillion-dollar company! Why bother with high school?"

Joey and Yugi's only response was to shrug.

Tea rolled her azure eyes, "So are you guys coming or not?"

Yugi and Joey exchanged uncertain glances. After a few seconds of silent debating, the two friends replied with a simultaneous "sure".

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
