Ok everyone again another long update but I'm trying to juggle like five fics on here and three I have just written out that I might post on here. It's kinda hard ya know. Anyway, I'm sorry for the long wait and anyone who is still reading this thank you.
Here's what happened lat time.
They looked at each other and sighed. "So what do you want to do now?" Mokuba asked.
"Umm….. How about…DDR?"
"Ok. I'll just beat you again though."
"No you won't I beat you that one time…"
"Yeah? When was that?"
"Uh…that one time…"
"Really?"
"Yeah well at least I can beat Tea. So grrr on you."
They laughed then walked to the game room. They stepped in front of the TV and Mokuba started up the game. Each took one pad and chose their characters. "Mokuba. You are going down." Serenity said.
"Bring it on future sis."
And the game began."
Chapter nine: false hope
OK to say Serenity was beat the first round would be the understatement of the year. Mokuba creamed her, and her only defense was, "Ya? Well your brother makes them."
Mokuba would laugh and point out that she's getting married to him. She just shook her head and got an idea. "Mokuba, I'll be right back." The teen shrugged and played on single player.
Serenity ran to the closets phone she could find and dialed Tea's number. It rang three times until Tea answered. "H-hello? Serenity?"
"Yeah it's me. Would like to come to the mansion and play DDR with Mokuba and me? We can have a tournament or something."
"Sure! I'll bring the rest of the gang and we'll be there in a few. OK?"
"Yeah great! See ya!" She hung up the phone and went back to Mokuba. He had a 300 combo. On Oni. Serenity scoffed and waited till he was over.
When he did finish she went up to him and smirked. "She's coming. And bringing the rest of the gang. Oh I'm so excited. Of course we'll have to decontaminate the house once she leaves."
"That's obvious. Come on play again. I'll go easy on you."
I mean don't get me wrong. Serenity's good. But Mokuba's goooooooooood. Again he beat her while on Oni. Serenity was on Heavy. Then the phone rang. And talked. "Call from Seto Kaiba." It kept repeating.
Serenity and Mokuba looked at each other then raced towards the phone. Literally, the raced and tied. The started in a tug of war while the phone kept ringing.
"Let me talk to him first he's my brother." Mokuba struggled.
"Well he's MY fiancé. So I get to talk to him first." Serenity yanked one final time and got the phone. But by that time it stopped ringing.
The two dropped the phone and sighed. "Well we can't talk to him now." Mokuba said blatantly.
"Duh. If you had only given me the phone."
"Hey! Don't blame this on me!"
"Wh-"She was cut off by a maid entering the room.
"Your guests are here."
The two smiled and like nothing happened and told her to let them in. In the meantime Serenity sprinted to the kitchen and took out a cleaner and wipe cloth. While running back she slipped on the furnished wood and landed flat on her back. "Owwww…that hurt."
'Luckily' Tea had seen the whole thing and came to help her. "Here Ren." And lifted her up. "Ummmm…what's the cleaner for. Don't you have maids and servants here?"
"It's…Ummm….for…a ….table…in the library. It was really dusty so I decided to clean it." She lied.
"Oh well I'm going to go play with the others I'll see ya when your done cleaning." She started to walk away slowly.
"Oh ok Tea. I'll see you then." When Tea was out of sight serenity quickly took the wash cloth and sprayed the cleaner on it and wiped herself where Tea touched her. With her vigorous rubs her skin turned red.
When Serenity was done, she composed herself and walked into the game room. To see Mokuba killing Tea in a match. She looked at everyone else and saw them laughing at her. Tea the great dancer was losing to Mokuba. How cool!
When the game was over Mokuba's score was off the charts! A new record! Tea's-E. She tried to play on Oni, but it didn't work. (A/N: You have figured out my loathing for her right?)
"My turn!" Serenity said running up to the game mat.
"Do you honestly want to face me again Seren?"
She looked at him disgruntled. "Yes Mokuba. As a matter of fact I do. So bring it on. And by the way, do you ever run out of energy?"
He just shook his head and started the game. They played 321 stars, .59, Love Love Sugar, and Kick the Can. (A/N: For of my own favorite songs. Kick the Can I can do on Oni.)
This time Serenity did much better. She nearly tied with him. Nearly. So again Mokuba stayed on the mat. The winner gets to keep playing. Then Yugi went up to play. And true he is the king of Games. For either Mokuba ran out of energy-amazingly-of Yugi is really good at DDR.
So the group played and played. Every time Tea touched something, other than the mat, Serenity would sneak up behind her and clean it. She was serious about the decontaminate thing. Sadly I would too if Tea came into my house. In fact if Tea came to my house, I would burn it down. With her in it. But that's off topic.
Again the phone talked and it said: Call from Seto Kaiba. Over and over. Finally Serenity heard before Mokuba and an o get it.
"Hello?" She had to yell to get over the volume of the music.
"Serenity? What is all that noise!"
"We're playing DDR. And Yugi's winning. Before Mokuba used to be winning. And we started playing because-hey you called like ten minutes ago. And like ten minutes before that. Is something wrong?"
Serenity heard a sigh from the other end. "As a matter of fact something is. I can't make it Love. They extended the length of my trip. I have to stay longer."
"What?" It was barely a whisper but by this time she had walked out of the game room and into the library so he heard it.
"I'm so sorry Ren. But there's nothing I can do. I'm the only one fit enough to do this work."
Serenity didn't answer but started to cry silently. The door to the library opened and slowly Mokuba walked in. When he saw her crying he went to her side and took the phone seeing as she was no longer fit to talk.
"Hey bro." He greeted his brother. "Why is Ren crying like this?"
"She's crying! Oh crap what have I done?"
"What happened?"
"I can't make it for the wedding Mokuba."
The boy cringed. "Ouch Seto. After you promised? That's harsh."
"I didn't promise I said I'd try. Just tell her I'm sorry for not being there Mokuba. Tell her I do love her and I'm so sorry."
"I will but I still say you're harsh."
"What ever bro. I need to go. Bye Mokie. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye big brother."
The phone line was disconnected and Mokuba turned to Serenity, who was still bawling her eyes out. "He said he loved you and-"
"If he loves me why isn't he here? Why won't he make it in time?" She replied rudely through her tears.
"I don't know. But he does. You know that he loved you more than anything. He also said he was sorry."
"I knew we were pushing it. Guess I had just put to much faith in him coming. Did he say how long he would be?"
Mokuba shook his head and looked out the window. "He does love you though Ren. You need to know that."
"I do. I know he loves me. And I still love him. I can wait for him." She hugged herself and leaned against the chair.
'I'll wait.'
There I know it's been forever since I've updated this. But it's here now. So Kaiba's gonna be late. Or is he? Who knows? Well I do but that's another story. Anyway, sorry for the late update and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Review please.
