Mokuba sprinted up the stairs calling out about a video game he had apparently forgotten to shut off the night before. She wondered how he managed to climb so many stairs so quickly and not be out of breath once he reached the top. Kaiba ignored him and led her upstairs to his room. Now that there was light, she could see that she was correct in assuming the mansion was huge, but the darkness distorted her perception of distance, and it wasn't as far as she had remembered.

Once at the room, Kaiba held the door open for her, and let her in first, followed and closed the door behind them. Serenity saw a small pink box on the desk he motioned towards, and approached it. It was a home pregnancy test. She looked up at him worriedly.

"It's been sixteen days. This one can tell fourteen days after conception." He only stared at her as she took the box and slowly opened it. "I want you to take one now and the other one tomorrow when you first wake up." She could tell he had been worrying about it almost as much as she had. She swallowed hard and went into the bathroom. A few seconds later she exited and he looked up at her from sitting on the bed.

"It's still... working." She said, unwilling to wait alone in the bathroom. She sat beside him on the bed and waited a few more seconds in silence. "What happened to them?" She asked, thinking about the cemetery and the time they spent there.

"...I killed them." Serenity gasped and looked up at him. His eyes were closed and his hands were clenched over his legs. Serenity resisted moving away from him, refusing to believe his words.

"Wh... What?" He looked over at her brokenly and her heart sank.

"I killed my parents. It was my fault they died." He said, looking her in the eye. She could feel the breath rush back into her.

"Everyone feels that w-"

"No. They died because of me. I killed them and I almost killed Mokuba too." Serenity waited for him to elaborate. "I... was a terrible son. I was smarter than the other kids my age... and even some of their parents. I thought I was better than them. When they confronted me, I fought them. I began starting fights and was becoming more violent and uncontrollable. They did everything they could but..." He paused, squeezing the bridge of his nose with one hand.

"That day I was fighting with our neighbor across the street. I cant even remember why. His parents started yelling for us to stop, and that got the attention of my mother and father. My mother had Mokuba in her arms, he was only five, and my father followed her over to me, but they never made it. They hadn't been paying attention to the road." Serenity felt how painful this was for him to say. His words were laced with hurt and self loathing. Reaching out, she took his hand away from his face, raised his arm and wrapped hers around him. She had nothing to say that would help so she decided to simply hold him.

"Mokuba... Mokuba would have died too. But... Mom curled herself around him. She took the full blow from the car and Mokuba got out with a few fractured ribs and a dislocated shoulder. I promised to never let anything happen to Mokuba ever again. I took Aikido and Jiu Jitsu to train myself for discipline and control. I decided to be a guardian, instead of an assaulter." Serenity nodded. So that's why he was uncomfortable with seeing them. He was too guilty to face them.

"I think..." Serenity started, "They would be proud of you." Kaiba's breath caught in his mouth and he shook his head.

"Please. I'm still the same bully I was back then. I ridicule people and treat them horribly because they don't pick up information as fast as I do. I left Mokuba alone to grieve and wasn't there for him when he visited them every year. I fucking use women as a stress reliever so I don't feel shitty all the time." He finished, thoroughly disgusted with himself. Serenity's hand guided his face to hers.

"You're not using me are you?" She asked, more for him to think than actually to get an answer. He shook his head. "You've given Mokuba a life that millions dream about. He's happy and sweet and playful and healthy. And you're a big time CEO of a giant company. You're used to working with people who are on top of their game, and dealing with kids your own age is difficult when you're coming from a place where the standards are so much higher. You could handle it better, but it's natural to be a bit frustrated. I cant do anything or say anything to help you, but you've already taken the first steps towards bettering yourself. You just need to do it now. You cant do anything about the past, but you have the power to change what you don't like now." She said. His eyes gazed down to no real destination and she could tell he was deep in thought. She rose, releasing him, and walked back into the bathroom.

Kaiba had told this story before, but all he had gotten was the same pity bullshit. All of the 'it's not your fault's and the 'You were just a kid, you didn't know any better's. He was fully expecting all of those. But she hadn't considered changing his perspective of the past. She focused on what he did to make it up. She understood the hurt wouldn't go away overnight and with only a few comforting words. That he had to work on himself and it motivated him to look deeper into himself about what he liked and what he didn't like. She motivated him.

He looked up as she exited the bathroom, test in hand. His hands felt hot and twitchy and he couldn't find a comfortable position for them.

"It's negative." She said and he felt a wave of relief wash over him. He couldn't help but notice, though a pang of... disappointment? He shook his head and stood. He took the stick from her and tossed it away into the trash bin, then hugged her to him. He never in a million years imagined opening up to someone would be easy, but after today, he just felt... comfortable.

He pulled her with him and walked backwards towards the bed, tugging her down on top of him. Serenity gasped innocently and blushed, making him smile up at her. She still wasn't used to the sweet side of him, but he was stunning when he smiled. She couldn't look away and her breath turned quiet and shallow. It was as if he was an animal that she was afraid of scaring away.

"Aren't you going to kiss me?" He asked, turning his smile into a playful one. Her eyes flickered off of his mouth to stare into his blue ones and she gnawed on her lip. Kaiba's breath caught as he watched her suck her bottom lip into her mouth and chew on it. He leaned forward, claiming that lip as his own. His hands roamed her body, gently stroking her wherever he touched. He wasn't as fierce as he had been before. He was tender and sweet. Serenity wasn't used to his gentle new state, but she wasn't about to complain.

She lifted herself until she was hovering over him, and he grabbed her hips to bring her up onto his lap. She gasped as she straddled him, feeling his hardness under her. He lifted himself slightly, almost in a sitting position, and looked into her eyes.

"I want you Serenity." He called for her, helping her to remove her shirt and bra. She moved off of him, making the parts of him that had been under her cold and yearning for her return. He undid his belt and tossed aside his pants as she removed hers. Reaching over, he grabbed a small blue packet. He tore it open and she watched him put the condom on. Finally done, he began sliding off his coat, but was stopped as she pushed him back against the bed. She found her place on top of him and gave him a sweet smile.

Her hands ran down the lapels of his coat as he took her hips and placed them over himself. He began coaxing her body down slowly and her hands tangled themselves in his duster. A low moan escaped her as he slowly filled her from below. He brought one hand behind her neck and pulled her down into a kiss, hungry, but soft.

"Now, rock back and forth." He instructed as their lips parted. She began to but immediately tensed and squeezed him, whimpering as she felt him inside her. Her hips jerked involuntarily, sending another wave of pleasure through her and causing Kaiba to throw his head back and moan.

"Uhhh... Serenity..." He sighed, closing his eyes and feeling her ride him. She began rocking again, and he resisted calling out louder for her. Instead small grunts and moans escaped him. Suddenly her body stopped and shook above him as she fell down onto his chest crying out his name. He took that as his turn to take control and rolled her over, placing her carefully over a pillow for comfort. He then fully removed the duster, which was now restricting his movements.

Serenity reached up to undo the bottom button of his shirt, but his hands grabbed hers and he stopped her. She looked up at him questioningly and he only shook his head. She was about to ask him why when her words were replaced with a loud moan as he rocked into her. He was slow, but firm. She felt so good around him. Just as tight as the first time. Her twitching and squeezing drove him crazy, and he couldn't help but want her every day.

She was his, and he would do anything for her.

He slipped into her again and for the fourth time, she grabbed him and called out, coming hard. She cried out for him again and he shuddered into her. He grasped the sheets under her and all of his muscles tensed as he came. After he was done, he let himself fall onto her gently and began to steady his breathing.

"Serenity... ugh..." He whispered between heavy breaths into her ear. She smiled at him and hugged his tired body to her.

"Kaiba?" She called, something clearly on her mind.

"Seto." He grunted, lifting himself from her.

"Yes... Seto... Um, why don't you ever take off your shirt?" She asked. His eyes darted away from hers and he shook his head.

"Nevermind." Serenity sensed a touchy subject, and attempted to make it a bit more comfortable.

"Well... I showed you mine, why cant I see yours?" She said, offering him a wink and a smile. He stopped and turned to her, wondering if she really did just say what he heard. She watched his eyes lower and un-focus as the weight of something bore into his mind. He finally shook his head and turned back away from her. She decided to drop the subject. He had opened up so much to her that day, she wasn't about to make him spill more just to appease her curiosity.

They dressed and he brought her back home, driving right up to the front of the house this time.

"I want to meet your father." He said as he opened the car door for her. Serenity looked up at him and smiled, then a thought hit her.

"Um... I know you didn't want me saying anything about us, but I did tell my father I had a … crush. I didn't say anything else, no names or anything... I'm sorry." He kept himself from smirking down at her.

"Well, I guess I can go now that you've broken the agreement." He slowly turned back to the car, watching her eyes widen as she tried desperately to fix what she had done.

"...wait... Wait, you told Mokuba..." She said, pointing out the truth. He stopped and shrugged.

"Then I guess we can just nullify the contract entirely." He had turned back to her and she was at a loss for words. " And I can just date you like a normal person." He grinned widely, unable to contain it anymore as she huffed and puffed realizing he had been playing with her the whole time. "Now, introduce me." She led him to her door and pulled out her key, but paused before it reached the lock.

"You do realize... my brother lives with me, right?" Kaiba had completely forgotten about him. He waited a moment before deciding to continue. Seto Kaiba didn't back down. Ever. He nodded her on and she carefully turned the key and opened the door.

"Serenity, is that you?" Her fathers voice called out. He had probably just gotten home from work, even though it was Saturday.

"Yes." She answered. He sounded like he was in the bathroom.

"Where the heck were you?" The bathroom door was still shut, but anyone could have heard him. "You know, I tried to call the house all day, but no one answered, and then I tried your and your brothers cells, and guess what? Neither of you picked up. Heck I just got home and tried calling you two again and your cell phones rang from your rooms... Why do you even have them if-" His lecture was cut short as he exited the bathroom, came around the corner and noticed the man next to her. He sighed, dropping his arms that he had apparently been waving while he talked and sighed. "It's also more difficult to call and ask if you can have friends over. Hi, John Wheeler, Serenity's father." He directed the last part towards Kaiba, offering a handshake.

"Seto Kaiba." Kaiba replied, accepting it.

"Wait... Aren't you..." Kaiba sighed. Of course he knew of him. Everyone knew who he was, by face or name.

"Yes, I'm-"

"The kid Joey's always complaining about?" Kaiba's eyes shot up and John had a worried look on his face, while he glanced between the two.

"Joey's not here right?" Serenity asked quietly. Her father shook his head and chuckled to himself.

"You know you're going to give me a major headache. You may be able to take Joey's complaining, but I'm not quite as resistant to it." He shook his head again, this time laughing to himself and thinking about his son.

"He's gonna be doing more than complaining when..." Serenity quietly trailed off, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Kaiba almost chucked to himself.

"Pardon?" Her father asked, not hearing her.

"Um," She piped up. "I... I have something to tell you." She paused a moment and Kaiba glanced down at her and smiled. She was cute when she was worried. "Ka... Seto... He's my boyfriend." Serenity's father stopped and his gaze shifted to the boy in front of him.

"Oh, really?"
