"Love is a Battlefield"
***********************************************
Sorry that I took so long to update this story. I was finishing my other story. Anyway, this one is a little longer than chapter nine. Also, I say 'eyes' a lot in this chapter (oops)! This chapter will have some slight horror in it at the end...anyways, I'll be quiet now and let you read chapter 10! Enjoy!

Serenity wiped away her tears. This was the guy who turned her down. No way was she going to let his sorrowful story get to her. She stood, much to the surprise of those around her, and pointed a stern finger at the pitiful young man before her.
"Listen to me, Seto Kaiba..." Her heart nearly melted as Kaiba's sky-blue eyes looked into her chocolate-brown ones. She wasn't going to let him get off easy for hurting her in front of so many people. "NO! I'm not accepting your excuse! Just leave, before you cause more heartache!"
Kaiba was stunned. Normally, anyone who even tried to boss him around would have gotten straightened out. However, this was Serenity. He would go easy on her...wouldn't he?
Seto Kaiba got a grin as big as his vocabulary, the ice returning to his eyes. "You're right. You never want to speak to me again? Is it going to stay that way forever?" Serenity glared, "Yes! No matter what you say, no matter what you do, I will hate you!" Kaiba smiled sweetly, "Then I guess that you won't care if I do this." He carefully, yet quickly, wrapped his arms around her, kissed her deeply, pulled away, and left the apartment.
Kaiba's actions left an apartment full of shocked teens. Though they all had witnessed this rare event, it wasn't even mentioned for the rest of the afternoon. At night, however, that event was all that one girl could think about.
Serenity Wheeler lay in her bed, awake even though it was far into the night. She sighed, "I did the right thing. I'm not going to have my emotions toyed with by some heartless..." Serenity felt her feelings knot up in her throat. She knew that Seto Kaiba wasn't heartless. "Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do..." She sat up, and tears sprang from her eyes.
The doorknob began to turn. Knowing that it was probably Joey coming to check on her, she turned away to hide her tears. Serenity listened as the door opened, and she waited for a light to be turned on. It remained dark. She wiped her eyes as she turned to face the door. "Joey, why didn't you...Joey?" The door was open, but no one was there to greet her. "Hm...That's weird. Maybe he knew that I wanted to be left alone." She quickly got out of bed and went to close the door. As she spun around to return to her bed, Serenity nearly fainted with fear.
Seated on her bed was, what appeared to be, a small child. Not only did the child's sudden appearance startle her, but it was the child's eyes that scared her the most. The wide eyes stared, without blinking, directly into her eyes. She quickly noticed the familiar Cerulean color to the figures irises. The form was silent and un-moving. Serenity began to calm herself. It was just a child. She slowly reached a trembling hand toward the light switch by the bedroom door. Just as her fingertips were an inch away from their destination, an abrupt blue flash of light from the figures eyes caused her to jump and pull her hand away.
Serenity couldn't speak...the past week had been terrifying. She relaxed as she realized that her mind was most likely playing tricks on her. "I know you aren't real." She managed to speak to speak up through her dying fear, "I've had a bad week. You're nothing but an image of my mind."
She triumphantly marched over to her bed and climbed in. Though she felt the child's weight beside her, she still believed that it was her mind and nothing more.
"You can go away now." Her voice held an arrogant tone; her back was turned to the child. "Well? Are you going to disappearing, or not?" Angry by the presence, she rolled over to see the extra person in her room. She was startled by what she saw.
The child was right in her face. The large, blue eyes were brightly glowing, that's right, glowing. The glow was enough light for Serenity to see that it was a boy. He had a snow-white face that had many cuts and bruises. He was trembling, and was, quite clearly, mad.
Serenity tried to call for her brother. Her voice would not allow it. The boy laughed at this. It wasn't menacing at all...it was the playful laugh of a young child.
Serenity jumped out of bed and ran to the light switch. She hurriedly flipped it up, and the room was illuminated. However, the boy was nowhere to be seen...
