A/N: So I recently found out that my auto spell check was set to change all of my Kiaba, kiba, kaba and the correct Kaiba to the incorrect make it look funny way that I can no longer type because my computer fixes it for me, So before going on with this chapter I hope everyone that got upset with my misspellings is less upset, but if you stopped reading because of it, I'm sorry, I know, I have terrible grammar, if there is anyone out there who would like to pre-read my stuff I would be ALL for it! I hope you like this chapter, I had a dream about it, and so I hope it goes as planned!

-------------

Serenity lay in bed, she was on the far side of the futon, up against the wall, she has a pillow and sheet and a light blanket, it was warm enough out and the Moto apartment was like a sweat bucket, the window was open, but it made no difference. She had her shoulder up against the wall and was lying on her back, the small window was right above her and the shade was up so she could gaze into the night. She attempted to see starts, but they were all blurred out from the lights of domino, she remembered the time about 5 years ago when her mom brought her and Jou to the park just outside of Domino, tons of stars and constellations could be seen, they brought a star gazing book to point out the starts, but it was for the wrong hemisphere, so they just laid on the ground looking up at the stars, serenity was so confussed about everything, she was living with the Yugi, she was going on a date with Seto Kaiba, her mom was dead and wasn't really who she said she was, her dad was a drunk and was probably going to come after them, she felt like she was skating on thin ice and anything she did could potentially make her fall. She exhaled, Jou came into the bedroom, he was ready for bed.

"Hey Serin, Grandpa Moto just found the top to Yugi's old bunk bed, we were going to put it on tm night! You can have your own room and I can share Yugis!"

Serenity turned her head to the left to gaze at Jou he was jolly, so she put on a fake smile "that's awesome Jou"

Jou crawled onto the futon with his own set of blankets, fluffed his pillow and laid down on his back like serenity, he crossed his arms over his stomach and stared the ceiling, this must have been Yugi's room play room when he was little, there were little star stickers all over the place, there were attempts at constellations but Jou couldn't make out if they were on purpose of if his mind was making him see things. He also let out a gasp of air.

"Who know we would be where we are now huh serin?" Jou asked, he was trying to be the comic relief but he could tell it didn't break Serenity's concentration on what ever she was thinking about, she was still gazing out the window at nothingness, Jou moved on to his side so he could watch his sisters reaction.

"Serenity, I've been meaning to tell you something, I know I'm not the kind of person to admit these kind of things, but I'm also not the biggest dolt in domino, and since the stories have gone around school, I was hopping I would know, but I was thinkin' about it and I realized that throu' dis tough time, I haven't been the real brother that you needed and I wanted to apologize"

Serenity also turned on her side to face Jou; she put her hand under her head and her elbow on the pillow to prop her head up with. She didn't quite understand what Jou was trying to get at, she knew that generally he was talking about her and Seto, be she didn't know how much he knew, or for what he was apologizing for.

"I don't really know what you mean Jou?"

Jou took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, he couldn't believe he was saying this, but if it meant for his sisters happiness, he would do anything

"All I'm tryin' to say is that if you wana talk about your feelings, I won't let my personal feelings interfere with what I say"

Serenity smiled, a big smile too, she even laughed a little and rolled back onto her back

"WHAT! I put my feelings out on the line and you laugh at them?" Jou jokingly laughed back at her. After a minute of them laughing at each other they both stopped, they hadn't laughed together since mom had died and it felt good for both of them to let some stress laugh out, even if they were making fun of each other. It was fun, fair sister-brother fun.

Serenity broke the silence after awhile "Even before mom died, I just felt really comfortable around him, he makes me laugh and happy"

Jou sighed "I said I was going to keep my opinions of him out of this, so I will, but as your brother, I have to ask you, and I can't believe I am…do you like him?"

Serenity left a minute in time to pass before answering; she wanted to have the right words

"Truthfully, I'm not sure, he's a good person deep down inside, but hey, it's worth a shot right?"

"Yeah, real deep down inside" Jou said sarcastically teasing his sister.

"HEY! I thought you were going to keep your opinions out of this"

Jou was laughing "yea yay, but as long as your happy, serenity, I'm happy"

"You know Jounichi, Seto Kaiba DOES remind me of you a little bit"

Jou threw his pillow at her "don't say that, that's just freakin' weird!"

"alright alright, to sleep, we have school tomorrow you know!"

"You might have to do work but I'm in my last year, I don't have to do nothin"

"Lucky you, but I'm going to bed" a couple of minutes passed where they were both trying to fall asleep

"Thanks Jou"

"No prob. Sis"

-------------------------

Serenity was shaken awake by a loud pound on the door followed by Yugi's little kind voice "Come' on guys! We've got to get ready for school"

She called back to him while she was walking up, she looked at Jou who was still sound asleep, laying on his stomach, snoring and drooling, Serenity rolled her eyes at him and slowly pushed him with her feet until he still off the bed and landed on the floor with a flump. He moaned and she knew he was awake, his head rose above the level of the bed, he glared at her "that was a 10 out of 10 on the not cool list" Serenity nearly died laughing as she laid back in bed for a minute laughing as her grabbed some clothes and headed for the bathroom "Come on, we gotta help Grandpa make breakfast"

After she got ready she wandered into the kitchen, Yugi and Grandpa had already made breakfast "oh, grandpa, we would have helped make breakfast"
Mr. Moto chuckled a little "I could have cooked breakfast lunch and dinner in the time it took you guys to get ready!" He laughed but wasn't finished speaking "Yugi and I wanted to make you a 'welcome to a good home' kind of breakfast anyways"

Serenity smiled and hugged both of them "you guys are awesome" Serenity was in an incredibly good mood and she wasn't sure if it was because of Jou and her conversation last night of if it was because of the pancake Yugi and Mr. Moto made for them, both gave her a positive outlook.

-------------

As serenity walked inside the school everything seemed normal like always except she was in a good mood which made everything seem blissful. She was at her locker when a girl she had never talked to before came up and started gossiping to her about some other girl that she had no idea who she was. The girl was obviously in the preppy group, her jeans were slightly too tight, her shirt was cut to low, although serenity liked how her hair was done in a messy ponytail on top of her head, she had too much makeup on and it was totally the wrong color for her.

"Excuse me?" Serenity interrupted the girl

"OH MY GOD, have you picked out a dress to wear yet??"

"A dress for what?"

"YOU KNOW!!! Silly" the girl gave serenity a slight slap push thing on the shoulder serenity gave her a weird look; she had no idea what the girl was talking about.

"you are going on a date with SETO KAIBA!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO JEALOUS!!"

Serenity turned around as she shut her locker, and every girl in the school was staring at her and they all wanted a piece of the action, and all at once they started talking and screaming and pushing. "OMG I HAVE THIS DRESS" "HAS HE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ME" "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING" "HOW DID YOU MEET HIM" "WHY DOES HE LIKE YOU" "HAVE YOU KISSED HIM YET?" tons of questions were poured out on to serenity who had no warning what so ever, she darted to the nearest bathroom but inside were the same group of girls that started with an "Oh MY GOD!" when she entered the bathroom, she slipped back out and went to the only place she knew they wouldn't be, she darted in, locked the door and slid to the floor with her back against the door, her knees where up and her elbows were resting on them, her hands were massaging her temples.

Meanwhile, Yugi was washing his hands he grabbed a piece of paper to dry his hands and saw Serenity out of the corner of his eyes, he slowly turned, froze and bit his lip hard, this was the moment of truth, he heart started beating fast, the answer to this question would prove to hold any social standing Yugi had. He spoke slowly and stuttered a little

"Serenity…. Am I in the girl's bathroom or are you in the boy's bathroom"

She smiled a little and laughed she knew the fear Yugi must have felt, the sudden realization that he had in fact just been in the girls bathroom could be a disaster. "No Yugi, I'm in the boy's bathroom, don't worry your okay!"

Yugi let out a loud exhale of relief, he threw out the paper towel and walked over to where she was sitting on the floor and slumped down to join her, the tile was cold and it made him too bring his legs up to his chest.

"So, why are you in the boy's bathroom, sitting on the cold probably gross floor?"

"Heh, apparently everyone in the school knows I'm going on a date with Kaiba this weekend, and I was just advanced to president of the Seto Kaiba fan club."

Yugi put his head back and laughed out loud for a couple seconds and then gradually let off.

"Well, you can't date someone famous and expect to not become famous yourself"

"Well said"

"You up for a pizza party tonight?"….."My treat"

"Defiantly"

"Alright than" Yugi hoisted himself to his feet and turned to face serenity

"Lets get you up and out there to face the world, I'm sure you'll figure out how to deal with them"

Serenity smiled and took his hand to help her up. After she brushed herself off she left the bathroom to enter into a crowd that acted like she had never left, she was nearly dragged into the center of the crowd by everyone pushing and shoving, and then, just in time she saw her blue eyes man at the far end of the hall, she laughed to herself about how she in fact could match the evils of Kaiba she waved her hand so she could get the crowds attention and then she yelled over them in the shrikiest voice she could find

"LOOK! THERE IS SETO KAIBA!!"

All the girls at once stopped talking, turned to look tot see if it was in fact Kaiba and then all of them darted toward him nearly knocking Serenity out of the way. Serenity snickered to her self and Seto looked disgusted by all the girls trying to cling to him and beg them to love them.

He can take care of himself

Serenity bounded off to class extremely enthralled that no one was ogling over her. The rest of her day went well, she walked outside at the end of the day with the gang and was even more amused to see the one and only Seto Kaiba standing at the gate of the school exit, he was leaning up against one of the brick pillars, he had his normal attire on and one of his legs were bent so that his food was knee height pushing against the pillar, his hair was scruffy and he was wearing sunglasses, although she could not see his eyes, she knew he was watching her, and he looked like he had had a long day. Serenity left the group as they kept walking home to walk over to Seto, she stopped in front of him and put her hands behind her back giving him a sad 'I didn't do anything wrong' face. "You are evil, you know that right?" he asked her while he smiled at her, she couldn't help but smile back, she had no sunglasses and the sun was behind Seto so she had to squint to see him. "I think you're better at handling your fan club than I am" she giggled a little.

"I do have to admit that they brought up some good points, like you haven't bought a dress yet"

"I'm going tomorrow after school, thank you"

"I see"

"You are so not coming"

Seto put his hands up in innocents

"I wasn't planning on it"

"Good….Where's your limo?"

"I drove Mokuba today" Kaiba pointed at his Nissan Skyline parked semi far away from all the other cars, only teachers, faculty and high ranked students, like student government, honor students and rich kids like the CEO of Kaiba corp., could drive to school. Serenity knew enough about cars to know that a Nissan Skyline was a very gorgeous tuner car.

"Do you want a ride to my place?"

"No thank you, I'm having a pizza party with the gang tonight!"

"I see, can I see you after you go dress shopping tomorrow?"

"Of course"

"Dinner?"

"Defiantly, but you have to cook it!"

Seto smiled, he enjoyed being in serenity's company and would defiantly by sad with out her presents tonight, he also told Mokuba that he would get her to come to dinner, he decided it would be a good time to bring Mokuba to the pet store, although he didn't wish for Mokuba to have a dog until he was older, Mokuba LOVED playing with the puppies and he was an avid visitor. The employees loved to see him play with the animals.

"Than I'll see you tomorrow"

"Have fun tonight"
"bye"

As serenity walked away to the right she left her left hand slight down Seto's right arm, down to his wrist but not touching his hand, she wasn't facing him when she did this she was walking away, which gave it even more delight. Seto got chills when she did this and he suddenly got the urge to grab her arm back and kiss her, he wanted to so badly, be he knew he couldn't, there were too many people watching, and it just wasn't the right time if he did, ever, he didn't even know how she felt about him, he hadn't had a girlfriend since Gina, and well….that was more of a physical relationship than anything else, he knew he could kiss, that wasn't the problem, it was the up to kissing part that made him sweat. He got in the car and waited while Mokuba got out of class, the younger kids got out a couple minutes after the older ones so he would have to wait only about 5 minutes for him. While Seto sat and waited he day dreamed a little, so much in fact that he didn't even hear Mokuba get in the car, he thought about how much he couldn't wait for this weekend to come to get this deal through so that he wouldn't have to handle Dotson anymore, and yet, he hoped that seeing serenity on Saturday would not be the last time he saw her.

"Seto, are you okay"

"Yeah, defiantly Mokuba lets go to the Pet store"
