BACK TO THE STORY

Dan stood up and started to angrily walk towards Serenity, who began backing up until she hit the divider between the kitchen and Living room. Jou, hearing the commotion emerged from his room but was only a minute to late when he witnessed his evil dad return.

Dan began yelling (I'm tried of cap locks)

"It's been 9 years since I've seen you kids" Dan grabbed Serenity's wrist till the point were her eyes began to tear from pain.

"And you damn kids haven't changed"

He turned with serenity so she was away from the wall; she was about to drop to her knees in pain when her dad lifted up his other hand in the air. Jou saw it coming and dove towards Serenity

"NOO!"

But it was too late, Serenity closed her eyes for the expecting of pain, and it came, with a great dea, across the opposite check as she already had a cut. He was wearing a watch and the lock caught on her cheek and made a slice.

"That will put you in you're place…."

As Serenity fell to her knees Dan walked away and took out another beer from the fridge, stepped over serenity without looking if she was okay and continued to lie on the couch and watch T.V.

Jou collected Serenity and brought her to her room. He calmed her down and cleaned up her face

"I'm sorry Serenity, this was a mistake, we can go talk to the court tomorrow and tell them that our father lied about everything"

"NO, Jou, I don't want to be separated from you. I couldn't bear to be separated from you, when dad left I almost lost you…. We can deal with this"

Jou hugged Serenity, trying to figure out how he could get her threw this.

"Serenity, you need rest, we'll go to school tomorrow so we don't have to be around here" Serenity nodded locked her door and went to bed.

The next day

Jou woke Serenity up so they would have plenty of time to get to school. Since Serenity was still recovering from last Friday they would walk to school rather then run. They woke up before their father and left before he was even awake.

On the way to school Serenity and Jou had a good conversation that put Serenity in a good mood, but Jou could tell that Serenity was becoming quieter and she hid her emotions inside of her. He tried to get her to open up, but she would only change the subject.

Both Jou and Serenity walked in the school at the same time. And at the same timer were almost taken down by Mai hugging Jou and Honda hugging Serenity. Jou obviously welcomed the hug from Mai, since they were head over heals for each other. But Serenity was being hugged, she wasn't hugging back, her hands were down by her side. She didn't have a smile on her face, but a blank, worn out look. Honda noticed this and backed off

"SERNITY! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!"

Honda had visited Serenity in the hospital just about every hour…. so she wasn't surprised that he was still worried over her. She kind of felt like yelling at him, telling him to leave her alone, but what might happen after could be worse, so she kept to herself. Jou found Yugi and started talking to him about the court and how proud he was at himself for making at statement to the judge. Both Serniety and Jou kept chaning the subject whenever anyone asked about how their father. No one noticed, except one person, who was leaning up in a dark corner, almost invisible to the eye. Seto was listening to the gags hisatria about Jou and Serneity's return to school. But he was convinced that he was right when he knew that Dan was a fake. He planned on figuring this out, what ever it took. The warning bell rang and Seto made his way to his class.

Later in the day, just before lunch Seto went to his locker to store his binders. As he was putting them in his locker he heard the sound of someone leaning up agiasnt the locker next to his, he looked up to make eye contact with the Mutt.

"What do you want Mutt?"

"Listen, you and I both know how we feel about each other, so I'll make a point that I'm doing this for serenity."

"What's your point?"

"I wanted to thank you…Serenity is my only sister…. maybe you'll understand this by thinking if something ever happened to Mokuba. If someone saved Mokuba…how thankful you would be?"

"If anything ever happened to Mokuba I would be the one to save him"

"Ok, well then, I guess since I didn't get to Serenity in time, I just wanted to thank you. If you hadn't helped her out, she could have died…and then I don't know what I would have done"

"I wasn't helping her…I was merely releasing some anger…. that YOU gave me, Mutt, so don't say you owe me…."

Seto shut his locker and left, Jou stayed leaning up against the locker, trying to decide if that was considered him thanking Seto for saving Serenity. He convinced himself that it was and left to the lunchroom joining with the gang halfway their.

After school that gang met outside

"Does anyone want to go to my house and duel and hang out?"

Yugi was quite excited about inviting people to his house to duel. Serenity stared at Jou who declined to Yugi

"naw, sorry Yugi, I thin Serenity and I have to get home to Dad"

"Ok, that's ok Jou, we understand…actually, we don't understand, we're all sorry"

Serenity looked down at the ground, trying to hold back tears, It made her really sad that all her friends were sorry for her. Then a black limo caught her eyes and she saw Kiaba and Mokuba get in it, she had the urge to run over to Kiaba and thank him, but she couldn't bring herself to it, her legs just didn't want to move.

"Come on Serenity, lets get walking or else we won't be home till sunset"

Jou laughed at himself as everyone glared at him. They began walking, and Serenity was even more held back then this morning, Jou could see that she was steadily declining into her own world. They reached their house well before sunset, but Jou still laughed remembering his sad remark.

They went in the house to find their dad on the couch with a stench of alcohol, he was starteld by them coming in the door, but he still managed to stand up, having to balance himself on the couch

"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?"

Jou was calm and collected, trying not to get into the same mess as last night

"We were at school sir"

"SIR? Are you fucking be smart to me boy?"

"No dad, just being polite"

"Sure, whatever, listen kids" Dan made his way to the table and motioned for them to sit at the table, Serenity moved her chair right next to Jou's and farthest away from Dan's.

"We need to talk" his voice got very angry, and then his eyes caught onto Serenity and he stared at her for a minute. She was staring at the floor, avoiding eye contact.

"YOU WHORE!"

Serenity didn't stand up for herself, she just let him yell at her, he continued yelling at her with remarks about being a slut and a whore. He had gotten a call from the hospital to see how she was doing and the hospital explained to Dan what happened to her. Since Serenity wasn't standing up for herself it was time for Jou to step in

"Dad, what are you doing, that wasn't her fault!"

"TO hell it wasn't, that bitch mom of yours finally dies and she goes out and gets herself raped! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! You're spreading the Wheeler name around as a whore, as a dirty family and you expect me to not get mad"

"DAD! SHE HAD NO PART IN MAKING THEM ABUSE HER, IT WAS AGIANST HER WILL"

Dan didn't understand what Jou said so he turned his anger to Jou.

"And you! Look at you WITH YOU'RE DIRTY, MATTED HAIR YOU SPREAD THE WHEELER NAME AROUND AS A POOR FAMILY, LOOK AT HOW YOU'RE DRESSED, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING BOY!"

Jou stood up he was so angry at his father

"AND YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING OUR FAMILY NAME GOOD BY LIEING TO THE COURT AND GETTING DRUNK, AND HITTING YOUR DAUGHTER!"

"BOY, don't you talk back to me! That bitch needed to be shown her place in life, and I'm thinking you need to be shown that too!"

Serenity was in tears now, and again, she stood up and ran out the door. Dan saw her leave the door in the corner of his eye and went to grab her but missed and yelled profanities out the door after her, but she was around the corner before.

Serenity ran towards the middle of town and found herself at an intersection, she turned left so that she wasn't to cross the road. As she was running she heard a familiar voice.

"Serenity? ARE YOU OKAY?"

She looked up and saw a familiar face and just ran into them and buried her face into their shirt. This tall brunette was shocked that Serenity was taking comfort in him, so he took her aside away from the people, out of the middle of the sidewalk and rapped his arms around her. It was a good 10 minutes before Serenity could control her crying enough where she could talk. Seto ran his hand threw her messy hair as she calmed herself down, and somehow in himself found comfort that he could now know what was going on with the Wheeler family.

"Serenity, what happened, you're a mess"

Serenity didn't answer, she couldn't get herself to leave her retread that she entered as soon as her dad hit her.

"Serenity, Serenity, snap out of it, you have to tell me what happened for me to be able to help you"

Serenity snapped out of it in shock

"You want to help me?"

"If you let me? Your dads a fake isn't he, he lied didn't he?"

Serenity didn't say anything, she juts shook her head yes. Kiaba looked at the ground, he was afraid of this.

"To what extent"

"He didn't go to rehabilitation"

"He's still an alcoholic?"

Serenity again nodded yes. But then Seto noticed the cut on the opposite check then the one serenity got hit with last Friday. Seto touched her cheek, Serenity jumped away, as if he was going to hurt her.

"What's wrong, how did you get that? I'm not going to hurt you"

Serenity looked at the ground.

"why are you being nice to me"

"Hey, despite what majority…most…. ok almost all people think I can be a nice guy"

Serenity smirked a little, she always seemed to smile around Kiaba and Jou, and they reminded her of each other. For some reason, Serenity got a sudden feeling that she could Kiaba anything that she wanted to, and that he wouldn't react mean or evil to her.

"My father…. he…. last night he asked me for a beer, and I was nervous…it was all my fault, I deserve this…" she drifted off after She motioned to the cut on her face.

"Serenity, what happened"?

"…I fucked up and handed him a shaken up beer…I can't believe I was so stupid…. it all my fault"

"WHAT! HE HIT YOU BECAUSE THE BEER SPILLED!"

Serenity looked at the ground, she didn't nod this time, but Kiaba knew that that's what happened. Seto was shocked out of words, he just looked down at her in amazement that she had changed so much from the day he saved her, he thought it was because of that night, but in fact it was because her dad was not only an alcoholic but abusive. As he was looking at her he noticed she began crying again, Seto pressed her up against him, hopping to comfort her, she had her face in her hands so he wasn't sure how much she was crying.

A stern voice came from next to seto that shocked both of them out of the moment.

"Serneity Wheeler?"

Serenity looked up, afraid that it was her father she backed into her own world, blocking off the world

"yes, that's me" she said it as if she was ashamed, as if she didn't want to be a wheeler as if she wanted a entirely different life. It was a police officer.

"Ms. Wheeler, you have to come with me"

"Where are you taking her?"

"To the police station, we found some information on you're mother that you need to know"

"Is her father going to be their"
"We might have him pick her up if we keep her past dark, we wouldn't' want her walking home in the dark"

"Is it ok if I come with you guys, I'll take care of her after she leaves the station"

"Is that ok with you Ms. Wheeler"

"Yeah, please call me by my first name"

POLICE STATION

Kiaba was allowed in the investigation room with serenity because Jou wasn't their and she didn't want to be alone.

"Serenity, here are some pictures that lead us to believe that your mom was leading a double life"

"A double life?"

"Yes, a double life, meaning she was either part of some mob drug deal or part of the American CIA or FBI, we sent this information to the FBI building in America but we haven't gotten anything back yet"

"She never mentioned anything to us"

"Yes, well, she wouldn't have, but if she is part of the FBI or CIA you'll need to deal with it because you're the same sex as your mother, even though your brother is older then you, he can't know about this, its matters of American and Japanese national security"

Bother Serenity and Kiaba nodded in agreement.

Just then a man in a suit entered the room and whispered something to the police man sitting across the table, the cop stood up and left the room, then the man looked at Kiaba "Sir, could you step outside for a few minutes, I need to talk to Serenity by herself"

Seto looked at Serenity, as if to ask if it was ok to leave, she nodded and he followed the cop to a seat he waited in.

"Serenity wheeler, we just received information on our mother" Serenity was handed pictures of her mothers car trunk, then one that had a picture of the trunk and the floor of the trunk was lifted up to reviled what looked like melted guns and other items.

"What is this, some kind of joke?"

"No, you're mom was leading a secret life, she was not an insurance agent, she was a so called 'soldier' in the international underground illegal trade between Japan and China. She received weapons, drugs or anything else that needed transporting from one coast to another. We had a wanted on her, but she didn't have a picture, so no one ever got caught, but know we know its her, he underground name was Michelle Daniel. You obviously won't be arrested for her doings, but we are afraid because you are the only other female in the family that someone of high rank in the underground trade will try and contact you and get you in the trade. IF anyone approaches you about this, we need you to report it to us immediately."

The man handed her a card that had a number on it and a name. Jack Penny, a name she would have to learn and a number to memorize.

"Are they going to try and kill me?"

"No, but they are dangerous, so I wouldn't go telling them that you're going to report them, I would suggest reporting them from a phone separate from you're houses, they might have it traced already. It is a high probability that they will contact you. If you want to after they contact you we can put you under private eye and you can start a new life in a new city were no one will know whom you are. Have any questions?"

"No, what if all I can call is 911?"

"When the operator picks up tell them you're full name and the number 9141 and your call will be traced and a entire police force will show up to your rescue"

Serenity nodded her head, still in her own world, she was so afraid everyone was out to get her.

She got up and left the room, when Seto stood up to follow her she stopped and looked at him after she stared at her shoes for a minute. "Thank you for coming here with me, would you mind walking me home?"

"You don't think you're going home do you?"

"Well, yeah, were else would I go"

"We'll figure that out, but there is no way I can allow you to go home"

Serenity looked at the floor then at a nearby desk and asked the cop if she could use the phone. But before she could dial a number Seto hung up the phone.

"Tell Jou you're staying at a fridns house, and you're ok, you'll see him in school tomorrow"

Serneity nodded an called

"Wheeler house" Jou said in a very sad voice

"Jou this is Serenity"

"SERNITY are you okay….i was so worried something happened to you again"

"I'm sorry Jou, I can't come home tonight, I'm staying at a friends house, I'll see you in school tomorrow"

Before Jou could object Serenity hung up the phone.

"So, which friend would you suggest I go to? I could go to Honda's, I'm sure he would give up his bed for me in a heart beat"

"That's what I'm afraid of…Honda might be completely obsessed with you that he wouldn't know when he was doing something wrong, you're staying with me and Mokuba tonight"

Serenity stopped moving and was shocked, she was still held up inside of herself though

"Why?"

"Because I'm the only one I trust with you to not hurt you besides you're brother, but you're brother is with your father, and I'm not sending you their, Jou can take care of himself, so I'm not worried about that"

Serenity continued to look down at the floor while Seto called his driver to pick them up, they were on the opposite side of town, and seeing what Serenity was going through, he didn't want her walking all that way.

HAHAHA…I hope you loved it….cuz I know I loved writing it! If you are extremely objective to something…..just tell me……
