Third of All
Chapter Ten: Once In A Full Moon
Serenity Takaishi

"Mr. Kaiba, what a wonderful idea, this was absolutely wonderful! Thank you too, Mokuba," Calvin was announcing as his guets were beginning to leave. "You both will be wondrous business partners... And maybe even you Ms. Wheeler." The man chucked as Serenity gave a slight bow and followed Mokuba and Kaiba out the door. The crazy Mr. Misaki could be heard all the way down the many steps outside the front of the mansion.

"That was fun," Mokuba rolled his eyes, not caring if the sarcasm was notable or not.

"...Yea," Serenity whispered, the two Kaiba's could barely hear her.

"Lets just hope that that nut job doesn't completely screw Kaiba Corporations over," It was more than obvious that Kaiba hadn't really been up to the deal, but was willing to see where it all went. Maybe, there was a slim chance that the new TECK industries had hired more intelligent workers and scientists than Kaiba. Of course, their gaming career was going under, so it was a very low chance.

This was something that caused Serenity to raise her head, "First of all, why would you make this deal such a big stunt, if you weren't sure that Calvin wasn't a perfect partner for you and Kaiba Corp.?! Second of all, what is with the fake, 'oh, wonderful'?" she raised her voice to the CEO.

"Haha Seto... denied." Mokuba joked, knowing his brother hated getting yelled at. Better yet, someone stating the obvious was even worse; just as Mokuba proved.

"Wow, I'm surprised you can count to two." Kaiba looked aways, and headed to the limo that was parked just a few yards in front of them. "And Mokuba, stop stating the obvious, it makes you look less of what you are."

"And another thing-" Serenity's voice wasn't as loud, but it didn't matter, Kaiba cut her off.

"Now, that is three."

Serenity rolled her eyes, and looked down at her little purse she'd been forced to carry, there really wasn't anything in it, you couldn't fit a cell phone in that little bag. She still didn't completely understand what Kaiba had said earlier, or why he told Misaki she was his date. Of course there was that dance, that seemed to be so wonderful; lasting forever. The rain was a nice touch as well, she knew it was sad, maybe her mother was looking over her... happy that she'd finally found a reason to smile after her death. Then again, it could all be Serenity's imagination, after all, she needed something to force herself to smile all night. And that one thing was so pure, magical almost. But, as a happy ending starts, there are bumps... although there's the chance that it really wasn't a happy ending at all. Sometimes it's just too much thought, too much hope, too many tears.

"Serenity?" Mokuba waved his hand in front of her face, she was out, dazed once more. "Seto?" he asked his brother, they'd arrvied at the limo and Serenity was lacking behind, well, she wouldn't get in.

"I think we can walk, it's not too far... plus, her mother loved the ocean." Kaiba's voice was soft, but, Mokuba was too busy to notice. There was pocky in the back of the limo, just waiting for Mokuba to open it.

"Don't do anything to make her feel worse..." Mokuba slid in the car, smelling the strawberry biscuit. "And be home soon."

"Mokuba, who is the older brother setting the curfew?" Kaiba asked, shutting the door and letting Mokuba enjoy the yummy sweets.

"Coming?" Serenity asked, who already started to walk. Her shoes were in her hands, and she seemed happy about being able to walk along the wet sidewalk. It'd been too long since the last time she'd enjoyed herself. Ever since she started working for Kaiba, she had been having a nightmare of a life.

Kaiba didn't say anything, instead he followed the auburn, catching up with her.

"The ocean is pretty beautiful." Serenity stated, tired of the silence. "I used to go with my mom all the time... and it's even better at night. With a full moon, sparkling in the water... So fare, peacful... Tranquility lost in the darkest sound, the feeling of now haunt us still, as a gaze into the ocean we see, the moon's sweet melody. The silence... of serenity."

This took Kaiba by surprise, he'd never heard someone randomly recite a poem, without paper. He himself couldn't write a poem, about anything, he wasn't that patient. Besides, he was the emotionless CEO who had to keep a glared face; scaring away competition. "That was beautiful," he finally managed to speak up.

"Sorry," Serenity said, turning around to see the stunned SETO KAIBA only a few inches away from her. "I haven't done that in a while.. I guess I didn't have much to be happy about." She continued on, talking about random things, Kaiba happily listening to ever word. But, he was slightly disappointed that she wasn't transfigured into the poet he'd seen moments ago.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the ocean that over looked the out skirts of Domino City. It was as beautiful as ever. The moon was almost dancing in the water, proving Serenity's words were as true as the moon.

"Wow," was all Kaiba managed out, then he heard Serenity, her voice low, and moaning. He turned his head a few yards away from him, Serenity was taking off her dress.

"What in the hell?" Kaiba asked, still looking at her.

"Skin-tight." Serenity said, pulling it off her shoulders. "And because it was like that... I wore this bathing suit thing under it. Hmm, yea, in doing so, I also had to wear the bottoms, so I'm swimming."

With wide eyes, Kaiba watched as Serenity ran into the ocean, slashing water all over the dark sand. "So, you're walking home wet and cold?" Kaiba asked still standing there.

"First of all, I don't care... I'm having fun. And secondly, who says I'm walking." Serenity was floating on her back, gliding her hands along the dark ocean water.

"Three things..." Kaiba announced.

"Whatever!" Serenity had a gleaming smile on her face. Of course it was hard to tell, but with the moon, Serenity's face lit up... more beautiful than ever. "Kaiba!" she got up and ran to the shore line, grabbing Kaiba's arm. "You can come too!" She nudged him forwards, but, he refused to move.

"I'm not going in." he said, no emotion in his voice.

"Yea you are." Serenity demanded as she began unbuttoning his shirt.

Kaiba rolled his eyes, and quickly grabbed her arm, "I am not getting me to go into that water." He glared into her eyes and was met with a similar look, but with more passion and a lot more love. Innocence.

"Come on...plea-" Serenity was cut off by Kaiba's lips. He'd leaned down and planted a kiss mid sentence.

Serenity thought for a second, she realized what she was doing, she knew it was wrong... but, she still kissed back. She began unbuttoning his shirt once again, this time, he didn't care, he just hinted around her lips, wanting access inside her mouth. She granted it to him. He pulled her closer as she pulled him back. They went further into the water, until it was up to Kaiba's waist, then Serenity broke free, out of breath.

"What in the hell?!" She asked herself more than him. "You kissed me!" she yelled splashing water all over him.

"Yes, I did." At least he wasn't being a complete jerk about it, as he too, hit water towards her.

"Take advantage of a virgin like that," Serenity laughed splashing more Kaiba's way.

All he could do was laugh. Serenity was a virgin, he found it funny, and at the same time a turn on. He went after her, and for about an hour, the ran around the beach, chasing each other.

It was now about three in the morning when Serenity stopped and ran to the beach sitting down on the sand. "This is gonna suck. I have to get sand off me now," she complained, laying back. This, of course just made the sand stick to her back. Kaiba came up beside her and looked down at her slightly damp hair, admiring her beauty. Of course, he had to restrain himself from kissing her once again.

"We should leave." He said, walking to pick up his fallen cloths. "WE can go to mom's house... you can get some cloths there, and call Mr. Chofeer." Serenity got up, sand beginning to fall off of her back. "It's only a block away."

And so, they were off, to Sereity's new house. It would take about ten minuted to get there, so Serenity found it necessary to make conversation. "That was fun, we should do it again." She laughed, her face turning a light shade of pink. The kiss, what should they do again? The kiss was the first thing on her mind. But, maybe he'd forgotten.

Kaiba was silent, and it was making Serenity nervous. She ignored it and continued to talk. Every now and again Kaiba would comment on how that was pointless, or somethign to ponder about. Either way, it made Serenity want to slap him.

"Yay," Serenity ran up to the door and unlocked it. She ran inside, happy to be home and about to get the sand off of her. "Kaiba, do you mind if I take a shower really quick?" she was eager to get out of that bathing suit.

"It's fine," Kaiba said, waving his hand, giving her the okay to leave.

He just sttod there for about ten minutes, until he heard the shower go off. Only moments after, Serenity came out with only a towel on. "Sorry, I didn't have any cloths, so I need to go to my room... you can come too. Some guy stuff might be in there." She smiled as her wet hair hung in her face.

As they walked to Serenity's room, each of them were thinking the same thing. The kiss. When they arrived Kaiba was surprised at all the posters on her walls, they weren't of bot bands, or actors. But poets and famous quotes. "Here!" Serenity threw something at him, and with his fast reflexes he caught it.

"Thank you," Kaiba said, still holding the clothes in his hands.

"Yea... you can go to the bathroom, which is..." Serenity stopped for a minute. Well, she actually was walking and ran into Kaiba. She looked up into his crystal eyes, blue pools of ice... she leaned up, as he leaned down.

This was the start of something. But, Serenity didn't know what would happen next.
