Secret of Blue Eyes
Chapter Four: Part of how it all started II: She knows..."NO!..." Mokuba yelled.
"YES...I won!" Serenity said happily after defeating Mokuba for the sixth time in a racing game.
"How are you so good!?" Mokuba said while turning the game off in frustration.
"My brother..."Serenity replied while stretching her arms.
"Let's play this one! I bet I can beat you in that. It's a fighting game, Tekken Three." Mokuba said.
Serenity gave him a weird look and sighed. "Mokuba...don't think that's enough?"
"Please Serenity!?" He complained while giving her the 'lip'
"Must not give in" she said while closing her eyes and turning around.
"Please..." Mokuba said standing right in front of her.
"N-no..." Serenity replied while opening her eyes slowly, just enough to see that he was standing right in front of her.
Mokuba sighed and replied a quiet 'fine.' Serenity opened her eyes now and turned to face him.
"Please!..." Mokuba said desperately while giving her the lip again.
"No...too late!" She said while sighing. "All right...I don't know what's with you and games."
"Yay! Ok this is how you play..." Mokuba said explaining the directions and controls to her and putting in the game at the same time.
"Yay! I finally won you in something" Mokuba cried out happily.
"It's not over yet; there's still one more round left"
"Let me have my moment!...ok done."
She laughed a little and then played the next round. It was a tough battle but she won this round.
"I won..." Serenity said proudly while Mokuba was shouting at his play station two.
"What's wrong with this control...argh!" He yelled.
"Mokuba...it was one round, it's a tie. You still have a chance."
This seemed to take the anger out of him. "You're right! Yeah...I'm gonna beat you this time!"
They both played there hardest but Serenity won again.
"I won..." Serenity said.
"ARGH!!! Let's play something else now." Mokuba said, fuming.
"Why not go eat a snack and then gets some fresh air. You look like you need some."
He sighed and agreed with her.
"Mokuba I don't really know your brother very well, since I'm new, but it sounds like you're getting tempered like him."
"Really?..." Mokuba said while looking down at the floor.
"It's not a bad thing entirely, I mean you don't get mad all the time like him, just when someone beats you in a game from what I see" Serenity added quickly after, seeing his expression change.
"Oh...ok. I'll try to keep cool when you beat me."
"Great. Mokuba don't take any offence in this, okay?"
"Right..." Mokuba said while getting some things to make a sandwich.
"Good"
They started making their sandwiches and ate silently. After that, they decided to go out in the backyard. Serenity thought this was a replica of what heaven looks like, well its garden. Beautiful, healthy Cherry trees and Sakura Trees were scattered in the yard, like five of them, along with some petals from the tree's. There was a small pond with goldfishes and other small fishes along with water lilies floating on top of the water and some other water plants surrounding the pond. Benches were near the trees and one was near the pond. There were countless flowers and flowers you didn't know existed. Past the trees, pond, benches, flowers was a large swimming pool.
"Wow..." she whispered.
"Hey Serenity!" Mokuba shouted, which woke her up from her reverie. He was carrying a garden hose and was about to press the throttle.
"Mokuba if you-ahh!" Serenity shouted over to him but screamed mid-way when he soaked her. "MOKUBA!!" She yelled through her soaked hair and clothes. She started walking over to him, hands ready to choke him, while Mokuba used the hose as his protection.
"Stay back Serenity or I'll wet you again!" Mokuba said, still not moving from his position.
This stopped her in her tracks. Her eyes darted to the pond that was near her, though. When Mokuba saw that she stopped in her tracks, he gave out a mentally sigh and put the hose down as, slowly. However, when he saw that she was near the pond he quickly used it has his defense again. Serenity saw this and just let it go.
"I'll get him later" she thought.
"Come on Mokuba let's go back in" She yelled over to him. She started going back to the mansion and when she opened the backdoor and entered, Mokuba put the hose down and went after her.
"Wait up!"
"Can you give me a towel Mokuba?" She said getting a glass of water.
"Um, yeah hold on" he said. He was still having second thoughts about if she got over it.
"Here-ahh!"
Serenity splashed a cup of cold water at him as soon as he came back to the kitchen.
"Now we are even" she said taking the towel from him. "Wow its getting late, huh" she said referring to the bright rays that were above the horizon now and was about to set.
"Yeah..." Mokuba grumbled, apparently mad at the fact that Serenity wet him.
"I thought your brother was coming home about now"
"Maybe something came up..."
"Yeah... I better call Joey that I might be a little late"
"Ok..."
After she called him they decided to watch some movies. Soon it became eight o'clock.
"Isn't he supposed to come back now?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah...he's been coming early now, before it becomes dark. Before he used to come in late at nights. Wonder what's keeping him?"
"Why?" Serenity asked curious at this fact.
"Why what?"
"Why has he been coming in early?"
Mokuba shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know. He said something about a change and how the late nights have been getting to him. I'll call him."
He got up and went to the kitchen where the phone was.
"Seto what's taking you so long?"
"What's do you mean? It's eight-thirty." Kaiba replied on the other side of the line while carrying the lifeless body in his hands.
"I'm just saying you used to come in early."
"Meeting stopped me. Basterds went over every detail until I stopped it. I'm heading home right now" he replied, half-lying.
"Ok. Bye."
"Wait, what are Wheeler and you doing?"
"Watching a movie"
"Everything's ok?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Just asking. Let me talk to her."
"Serenity, Seto wants to talk to you!" He yelled, so loud that Kaiba cringed at the sound of his voice.
"Hello?"
"Put Mokuba to sleep."
"Ok." Serenity replied.
"Mokuba, your brother said I have to put you to sleep" she said entering the room she was in earlier.
"But the movie's not over yet" he complained.
"Come on Mokuba..."
He followed her to his room and Serenity waited until he came back in the room in his pajamas. He crawled into bed and said a tired goodnight. She tucked him and also said goodnight . When she went out to the hallway, the room to Kaiba's office was open. She peaked in the doorway, to see nothing.
"Hello? Anybody in here?" She said.
"Come here." Kaiba replied while sitting behind his desk, the chair facing the window.
She gasped and said "you scared me."
"I tend to do that often"
"I didn't hear you come in" she said walking over to his desk.
"Came in the back door. You pay is on the desk" he replied wearily while reading a paper.
She got the envelope but stopped and gasped when she looked at the window. It was a starry night and there was a full moon. The odd thing about this was, she saw his reflection on the window but a different one. One that had a pale complexion and crimson eyes with no pupils. She stood there, amazed.
"Well are you taking it?" He said impatiently. "What's going on with her? She's just standing like an idiot" he thought. He saw her reflection on the window with her eyes being wide. He got up now and faced her. She snapped out of her daze and screamed. He quickly went over to her and put his hand in front of her mouth, muffling up her screams.
"Shut up! You'll wake up Mokuba!" He said hissing, while she struggled to remove his hand from her mouth. She kicked him several times on his shin but he stood his ground and held on to her tightly, her back against him.
"Shut up or I will kill you" he said reveling his long, polished, nails in front of her face. She stopped screaming now and whimpered slightly. He let go of her now.
"Sit" he said pointing at his chair.
She did as she was told, making no protest, afraid what he will do. He sighed and rubbed his temples.
"W-what a-a-are y-you?" She managed choke out.
"What does it look like!!" He snarled at her, showing his fangs also. She gasped and understood now. He sighed again and said "I'm a damn half-vampire who got this stupid curse."
"H-how d-did you get it?" She asked quietly.
"Why? You want to be one, too?" He retorted while narrowing his eyes.
"No..." She said.
"Then don't ask" he said leaning on the desk now. "Go home" he said after a moment of silence. She got up, cautiously.
"Tell anyone and I'll kill the person you told and give you punishment, maybe even turn you into one. I will know. You will also continue baby-sit Mokuba" He said glaring at her.
She nodded.
"Here." he said handing her pay. She took it and went out the door. After she closed the door behind her, she ran down the stairs not stopping at all until she got out of the mansion. She went to the bus stop and arrived where the subway was. She went to the subway train and headed home.
"Seren?... Why didn't ya call me? I could've picked ya up." Joey asked while watching a movie.
"I didn't want to bother you" she said heading towards her room.
"You ok? You look tired and spooked out a little."
"I'm tired that's all. The spooked part, I don't what you're talking about."
"Ok..." he said thinking about what she said.
"Goodnight Joey"
" 'night" he said still thinking.
She went into her room, changed into her pajamas, wrote in her diary about all the events that happened today and night. Her worries were gone, for now, and all she could think about was going to sleep.
(a/n: It didn't take me a long time to do this one. I got this one finished on Saturday but I couldn't post it up cause I was busy, very busy. Sunday, I went to Sea World so I was gone for the whole day. And my mom didn't let me go on the internet on Monday cause she was waiting for an important phone call. Anyway, for my 'New Girl' story, I'm kind of out of ideas. Leave some suggestions if you think of something for it, but not for this story. If you can't, I'll think of something sooner or later, I somehow do. For now, please review.)
