I Still do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, Because if I did there would be a lot of T&A.
Utter confusion. Those would be the words that best describe what Serenity was thinking about.
She decided to return to Joey's room, as Joey and Yugi decided to go see Téa and Tristan and Duke went to look for Bakura's Millennium Ring.
Once returning, she sighed inwardly "I'm glad that problem was solved. It's good that Kaiba called for medical help, I guess he truly was unable to land the ship."
For some reason her thoughts lingered on the cold billionaire she confronted mere minutes ago. From what her brother has told her about him, he is nothing other than a self-centered, egotistical, cruel, harsh, unloving, and heatless person. "But if that were true wouldn't Kaiba have simply told us to leave, and even insulted us for simply disturbing him."
Then it suddenly hit her "Kaiba didn't even have to hear us out, but he did" She sat down on the bed and pondered these thoughts for a while.
"There is no way he is heartless, because a heartless man wouldn't have even cared about Bakura's health"
However, Serenity still made notice of Kaiba's conceited attitude. As if their woes mean nothing to him. "Joey's right about him being Cold-hearted though."
However she simply didn't understand Kaiba. No one she had ever met in her life was as cold as he is. "WAIT. There was one little boy. But that was back when I was 8 so who knows what happened to him"
Quietly shifting the old memory to the back of her mind she continued her thoughts on the CEO "What also confuses me is when he shifted his attention to me. He didn't even give what the others said a second thought but as soon as I said something he focused onto me."
Thoroughly confused, she was wondering what made her different to the others. "Was it because the others were too direct, maybe he just didn't want to listen to them."
"Was it because he didn't know me? He probably wouldn't bother listening to them anyway."
"Was it because I'm a girl?" Shocked at this thought, Serenity brushed it off thinking "absolutely no way. As if Kaiba would think that"
After getting that idea out of her head, Serenity then thought "What if it was how I said it." She pondered on this thought based on what she saw from him "I was simply trying to be polite but it was more out of respect, I mean he did allow us on board his ship. But considering how the others were demanding him, who knows maybe he just wanted someone to ask instead of demand."
Then is started to dawn on her "Who would have thought that Kaiba actually cared about how we saw him." Then she started to remember all of Joey's and his friends' reactions to some of the things he did. "Kaiba saved Téa's life and she thanked Mokuba not him, then when he allowed us to come on the blimp we didn't show appreciation there either."
Suddenly she felt a slight pang of guilt, "Maybe that is it" She pondered on these thoughts for a while "Maybe he just wanted gratitude. Maybe if we actually show our appreciation for all of this he might actually show something back" Full of confidence and passion she stood up announcing to no one in particular.
"The next time I see him I'll say thank you for. . ."
"Thank who for what sis" Called Joey as he suddenly appeared before Serenity.
Serenity knew what her big brother thought of Seto Kaiba, she believed that telling him her plan was not a smart idea. "Uhh I just wanted to thank you gain for all of this."
She then looked out to the window, almost repeating a previous conversation the two had before. But Joey then realised "Oh nuts I forgot. We have to go now the next two finalists being chosen"
"Oh, Ok Joey" Serenity replied and while she was walking with her brother her thoughts lingered on her self-promise "I will thank Kaiba for all of this, I promise myself this" And she continued walking with her brother to meet the rest of the gang for the next duel.
