Ok so I had major writers block on this until a very good reader gave me a great Idea, so I hope you don't mind that I use your suggestion and thanks for it.
Oh I have a snow day today but my bagoodness it's so cold! I'm freezing!
I do have an excuse for the late updates now. I've been doing way to many many Drama things. And singing, so by the time I get home I have to do my homework and I'm exhausted. And school comes first especially because I'm failing my American Society class. Not good. Any way, I am going to update as fast as I can and let the whole review thing go, I don't care any more. I'll just finish the stories I started then be done. Right soo…
Any way's here what happened last time.
There was a steady mark. So though he couldn't hear it Kaiba knew Mokuba was going to be fine. He looked over at Jason and shrugged. Jason looked into the window as well.
"I hear your brother is quiet accomplished. Following in your footsteps." Jason said as he began to walk back towards his wife's window.
The doctor began stitching up Mokuba and Kaiba was relieved. 'Thank goodness…He's going to be ok. Now I can concentrate on finding Serenity again.'
Mokuba was wheeled out of the operating room
and Kaiba followed. Before leaving however, he turned to face Jason.
He nodded and then walked out. Jason nodded at Kaiba's retreating
form.
When Mokuba was placed in a recovery room Kaiba picked up his phone again. This time he didn't mind bothering Mokuba knowing the boy would be in a sleep for a while. 'And now it begins.'
Kaiba had called Joey for a particular reason. He figured Serenity's mother would know something about the situation. But seeing as Serenity never spoke about either of her parents he would have to get the information from Joey. Unhappily he began to go through his contacts list and found Joey's name. He pressed send and waited.
"What Kaiba?" Joey's voice came over the phone. The blonde didn't seem all to pleased to be talking. And Kaiba didn't really know the reason why. Sure it was Kaiba but the two had been acquaintances for a while. Both duelists sighed and began to be civilized.
"Look I intend to make this as short as humanly possible. I need to speak with your and serenity's mother." Kaiba said while looking over at Mokuba. He heard the steady beep off the heart monitor and nodded to himself.
"Why would you wanna talk ta her?" Joey asked rudely. Kaiba understood why. Serenity had told him about the feud going on between Joey and their mother. But she was the only one he could think to talk to about the situation. Seeing as this was about as far as he was willing to communicate with Joey at the moment, since Serenity wasn't around.
Joey sighed again and told him the number. Kaiba, through clenched teeth, thanked him and hung up the phone. He quickly put it away as a nurse walked in to check on Mokuba. She tinkered with the wires connecting to his body and gently squeezed the bag of some liquid, that Kaiba couldn't label, which connect to his IV. She then smile at kaiba and walked out of the room. Kaiba again pulled out his phone and looked at the time on it.
He now knew why Joey was so disgruntled to talk to him a few minutes ago. It was nearly midnight. And he had just called the guy less than an hour before. SO he wrote down serenity's mother's number so he wouldn't have to remember. Then he realized, he hardly knew about serenity's past life. He had started dating her just to bug the 'Mutt'. Then he actually started to like her. She always seemed so happy. Like nothing was wrong, but now, he knew better.
He shook his head and leaned back on the chair to stretch his back. Soon enough he was asleep on the chair.
Tuck took Serenity to the apartment he has been renting for the past three months. She was asleep as he carried her into the house. Tuck laid her down on the couch and went into the kitchen. He grabbed a beer from his fridge and went to go sit on a chair in the living room. He looked over at his and saw how much she had grown. She's changed a lot in the past 6 or so years. Matured.
He smiled and reached out to stroke her cheek. "You've gotten so beautiful. No wonder that CEO is in love with you." He took a gulp of his beer. Serenity stirred and switched onto her side. Her face showed disgruntlement and she was breathing heavily.
Serenity slept through out the whole night. Tuck didn't plan to do anything to her while she was sleeping. He finished off his drink and went into his room to sleep.
In the morning when Kaiba woke up he immediately checked his messages to see if serenity was able to escape and call him. When he had none he stood and walked up to Mokuba's bed. He looked down at his younger brother and removed the bangs that had fallen into his eyes. Kaiba shook his head in distress. 'Why does life have to be so hard!'
Mokuba stirred as Serenity did. He coughed and then opened up his eyes. He looked around the room and stopped when he saw Kaiba. He let out a weak smiled. "Hey bro." Kaiba nodded and smiled happy to know he's awake.
"Are you ok?" Kaiba asked pulling up a chair to sit down next to him. Mokuba nodded. Both brothers were quiet for a moment then Mokuba being the sweet boy he is asked.
"What about serenity?" Kaiba was silent and took a breath. He closed his eyes and tried to prevent tears from falling. Not able to get and answer out he just shook his head. Mokuba looked away not knowing what to say. He felt it was partly his fault. Because he didn't protect her.
Kaiba saw his face but didn't know what to say to convince him otherwise. All he could think to say was. "Mokuba, I know you love serenity as well. You would never do, or not do, anything to put her in a situation like this. Nothing happened that you could've prevented." Mokuba slowly nodded trying to agree with his brother.
He still felt so guilty. Now knowing what Serenity would have to experience. Again! He shook his head and closed his eyes. Kaiba out a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, but I need to go take care of some things. For Serenity." He stood and walked out of the door. Slowly he turned and waved. "See you bro."
Kaiba left and walked out of the hospital. Immediately afterwards his cell phone was at his ear. He first called his driver to come pick him up and take him over to …Joey's house. After that was arranged he began to dial the number Joey had given him the night before. It rang for a seconds hen a female voice came on.
"Hello. Kawaii residence." Mrs. Kawaii answered.
Kaiba cleared his throat. He had never spoken to Serenity's mother. He had to admit, he was in a way, nervous. "Yes. This is Seto kaiba. I need to speak to you about your daughter Serenity." His driver pulled up and kaiba got into the back. Mrs. Kawaii sighed happily.
"Oh yes! Mr. Kaiba!" She said. "I've seen you and Serenity on the news together. You looks happy together. I was so happy when Serenity told me you proposed." She smiled though Kaiba couldn't see it over the phone. Her happiness tugged at Kaiba's heart. He was soon going to bring horrible news to her.
With an inhalation of breath kaiba tried to calm his emotions. He felt the blame was to be put on his own head. Not his brother as Mokuba seems to believe. Kaiba had failed to protect her for the second time. 'If I had been just a few hours earlier.' He reprimanded him self.
"Mrs. Kawaii." He stated sadly. "I'm afraid I have bad news concerning Serenity." There was complete silence on the other end, so kaiba continued. "I'm afraid that while I was on a business trip Serenity's father came and took her."
Mrs. Kawaii gasped. "Her father…Kaiba, do you know what he has done to her?" She asked worriedly.
"Yes. I do. Look, the reason I called was I need to know everything you know about her father that you can tell me." He spoke seriously nearly tempted to use the same tone he uses with him employees when he's entrusting them with a task. But seeing that this was Serenity's mother, he resisted.
"I don't know much Kaiba." She said slowly. "But he did leave the country five years ago. Obviously he's back. But while he was here and in charge of Serenity and her brother, he beat them. He…you know what he did to Serenity. Then, as Joey told me, he just left." She told him slowly.
Kaiba nodded and began to get out of the car since he reached Joey apartment. "Do you have any idea where he could be?"
"No Kaiba. I'm sorry." She told him.
He sighed and nodded. "Would you meet me at Joey's apartment?"
"Yes. I'll be there in a minute."
"Ok." Kaiba shut his phone and walked up to Joey's apartment. He knocked on the door. He waited for a few moments for Joey or Mai to come open the door. Eventually he heard the door unlock and Joey stood there quite grungy looking. He looked as if he hadn't slept and had dark circle under his eyes. "You look horrible Mutt." Kaiba told him then walked inside.
Joey shut the door behind him not even bothering to respond to Kaiba's insult. Somewhat surprised at the lack of respond Kaiba looked at him with out his famous glare. Joey motioned for him to sit on the couch so Kaiba did and waited for Joey to join him. His soon to be brother in law sat at the chair across from him and waited. Joey sighed ad spoke. His voice was hoarse but Kaiba could understand. "Have you heard anything? About Ren?"
Kaiba shook his head slowly. "I called your mother this morning. She's coming over. After that I'm going to call the police." He looked over at the table near the couch and saw a picture of Serenity. She was smiling and had her arms around Joey and Yugi. It made Kaiba want to cry when he thought of how se must feel right now. Joey growled and shook his head. Kaiba looked over at him. "Yes Wheeler?" he asked angrily.
"This is all your fault." Joey said angrily and glared at kaiba. Kaiba leaned back against the couch appalled.
"Excuse me?" Kaiba asked. He then leaned forward a little waiting in anticipation for Joey's response. Joey looked over at serenity's picture and with venom in his voice he answered.
"Ever since she agreed to marry you, why she did I don't know, she's been in trouble constantly. She's been kidnapped, hounded by paparazzi. And now, because you went on a business trip, our father came and took her." He paused and shook his head again. "Who knows what she's going through now." Kaiba shook his head and glared right back at Joey.
"How dare you say such a thing to me." He retorted. "I love you're sister. Whether you approve or not. And I would go to the ends of the universe and back to ensure her safety." He said in a dangerously low whisper. He looked Joey right in he eyes and saw anger written on his face as well.
"Well then Kaiba," Joey told him sarcastically. "I hope you have a nice trip. Cause where Serenity isn't what I would classify as I safe." There was a knock on the door and Joey stood to get it. Kaiba stood as well knowing it was Mrs. Wheeler. Kaiba was to angry to talk to her or Joey. So as Joey opened the door and welcomed her in he walked out and said.
"I'll call the police for you." Then he walked out of the building. Mrs. Wheeler looked at his retreating form oddly then looked at Joey.
"What was that about?" She asked Joey shook his head and walked back into the apartment followed by his mother. They walked in and talked about serenity's situation.
Kaiba angrily got inside his limo that had waited for him while he talked to Joey. He told the driver to go back to the hospital and then pulled out his cell. He dialed 911 (A/N: I don't know what the emergency number is in Japan s it's going to be 911) and a female answered. "Hello. Please state your emergency."
"I'd like to report a kidnapping." Kaiba said coolly. The lady nodded though he couldn't see.
"And who is missing? Also how long ago did this take place?" She asked him. Pulling out a pen to write down everything.
"It happened last night. And her name is serenity Wheeler." He informed her as he remembered Joey's accusation. Could it be his fault? Did he really fail to protect the woman he loves? He shook his head and listened to the lady.
"Oh poor girl. This is the second time since she's become engaged t that mister Kaiba." The lady said not aware of who she was speaking to. Kaiba didn't say anything as he as once again told he wasn't good enough for her in a round about way. "Well sir, I'll file this and we'll get right on top of it."
"Thanks." He said then hung up his phone. E thought about Serenity. Ever since they had been engaged, she's been put in situations that she normally wouldn't. Reporters, kidnappings, raping. How could he do that to her? 'No! It's not my fault. I've always saved her when she got in trouble. We belong together.'
They reached the hospital and Kaiba quickly got out. He walked in and went straight to Mokuba's room. 'Serenity. He can't take away your purity.' He thought. As he walked into Mokuba's room. His brother was sleeping so Kaiba quietly took a seat next to his bed.
Ha finally got it out! So sorry for the wait. Really I am. I just have been getting ready for spring break. I'm going to China! I'm so excited.
So, review please.
