I do not own Yu-gi-oh

"Mai I don't understand why you invited moneybags," Joey complained.

"Because whether you like it or not, he is your sister's boyfriend and he hasn't seen her in three weeks too," Mai explained, Seto just smirked.

Joey, Mai, and Seto were all at the airport waiting for Miss Serenity Wheeler. Serenity was able to visit her grandmother in the states. It wasn't very often that she was able to visit her, so when the opportunity came Serenity volunteered to go. Her grandmother had fallen down the stairs and broken her leg. Serenity was able to go and help, for the first three weeks. Serenity could only get so many days off from work. It worked out, because her grandmother's neighbor was a nice woman who could look in from time to time.

Serenity's grandmother is a stubborn old bat. She didn't listen to the doctor, because she claimed that he didn't know what he was talking about, because he is a few years older than Serenity. Serenity had a very exhausted three weeks. Trying to keep her grandmother to follow the doctor's orders.

But Seto knew all of this; little did Joey and Mai know that Serenity would call Seto, every single night. Seto would be on the phone most of the night, just talking to Serenity. This time apart almost killed him. He couldn't believe the impact that this girl had on his life. Serenity felt the same way. She said so the night before. Seto smiled at the memory.

They had been laughing; Serenity had trouble catching her breath. This happened all the time. There were ways that she could make him open up, ways to make him laugh out loud. Not the crazy obsessed laugh when he dueled, but a genuine laugh. He hasn't laughed like this in years, in fact since before the orphanage. Serenity finally caught her breath. She didn't say anything for a moment.

"Serenity is everything alright?"

"Yeah," she said slowly.

Seto waited patiently, she only sounded like this when she had something serious to say.

"You know, being over here in the states, away from Joey, away from my friends, and away from you. I have done a lot of thinking. I know for a fact that I missed Joey and my friends, but I mostly missed you. Being away from you gave me time to think about our relationship. I know you are very important to me and I have something to tell you once I get home."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I thought I should, I feel like I need too. I really want to Seto."

"When will you home?"

"My plane comes in around eightish."

"I… I have something to tell you too."

"So tomorrow around nine at your place," Serenity asked.

"That sounds like a plan. See you then Serenity."

"Bye Seto, oh I can't wait for tomorrow," Serenity said with laughter back in her voice.

Seto chuckled, "Bye Serenity."

Little did Serenity know that Seto had already been invited to come to the airport with Mai and her brother. He didn't care for surprises, but Serenity on the other hand loved them.

He didn't really know what she was going to say, but he had an anxious feeling all day. What did she have to say, that she couldn't say over the phone. He knew she wasn't going to break up with him, because she said he is important to her, and that she missed him. What could it be? It could be anything. Everything with her he had no idea what to expect, which was new for him. He knew exactly how his life should be. Seto found out over the year they have been together, he didn't know how he lived his life without her.

She has changed him so much. He was laughing out loud again. He smiled more, because she brought that smile of hers into his life. Nothing has changed at work, but it seemed different.

There was one more change, one he thought would never happen. He was here with Joey Wheeler. He never ever thought he would have anything in common with this mutt.

"Her flight just landed," Joey exclaimed as he jumped up and ran to the window.

"Joey stop, you look like a child," Mai scolded.

"Can't help it, I can't wait to see Ren."

"She's only been gone for a few weeks," Seto pointed out.

"Yeah so, I can still miss her. She is my sister."

"Didn't Mokuba get excited when you came home from a business trip?" Mai asked.

Seto thought about it for a moment. He did, he did get more excited when they were younger. When Seto does come home they hang out more and talk about different things.

"Yeah he did, still does."

"So you have a little understanding," Mai said a little defensively. "I missed her too."

"Seems we never should have let her go," Seto mumbled.

"She would have found away to go anyway," Mai said with a smile.

"That's right no controlling her when she makes up her mind."

Mai laughed, "Nothing can make her change her mind either once it is made up."

Joey ran back over looked up at the screen. Making sure that her flight was here and she would be coming down the escalator soon.

Mai and Seto stood and walked over to Joey. Both feeling excited as Joey grin grew even bigger. A large group of people were coming down the escalator. All three of them held their breath, just waiting to see the small, brown haired girl. Suddenly she appeared. Joey shouted the loudest.

Once she made it to the bottom of the steps, she had a huge smile. She saw her brother, and her sister-in-law, and Seto. Seto is here; she dropped her bag, and started to run. Never did she think that he would be here. She ran pass Joey and right into Seto's open arms. Her arms wrapped around his neck as he twirled her around, she started to laugh. Since her laugh was contagious he started to laugh too.

Joey was dumbfounded she ran past him into his arms. Joey couldn't believe it, Kaiba was laughing. He watched as Kaiba twirled his baby sister around. He watched once the stopped as she kissed him.

"Isn't that sweet," Mai whispered, she didn't want to interrupt.

She didn't know what would happen when she invited him to come, but she had a pretty good idea that this would happen. Mai grinned, she saw everyone around watch them. Everyone wanted to see what was happening. Then they all smile when they see that it is a couple embracing.

"Come on let's get her bags, and give them a moment," Mai said pulling Joey's arm.

He couldn't believe it. Joey had to share his sister with his enemy. At first he hated it, he even forbid her to see him, but now. Seeing them together like this, he can't do anything to stop it. They are in love.

"Alright," Joey mumbled.

Once Serenity broke away, she couldn't stop smiling.

"I can't believe you're here."

"Surprise," Seto smiled as he placed his forehead on hers. Her grin grew even more.

"So what did you want to tell me."

Serenity wrapped her arms tighter around him. She glanced up into his eyes, his blue, blue eyes. He has a small in the corner of his mouth. She could never, ever leave him again or take a trip alone. He needed to come the next time.

"It's simple really, being away it help be to realize how much I love you. Seto Kaiba I love you so much. I love you with all of my heart."

"Being away from you for three weeks was torture. At first I didn't know why, but then having a talk with Mokuba. He helped me to realize why. You Serenity Wheeler are my everything, you are what I want, and you are what I need. Yes I have too, I love you too."

Serenity had happy tears in her eyes when she kissed him again. She pulled him closer. Seto had a hand on her waist and one on the back of her head. Life couldn't be better than this.

"Hey where's my hug?" Joey asked as interrupted.

They broke away, she turned and ran into her brother's open arms. With a smile on her face and a laugh escaping, life couldn't get any better.
