Hey Everybody! Thanks to Corkey again!!! And REALLY sorry about the late update, I think I might have come down with something because my nose is driving me haywire!!! I wake up every morning and my nose is running and I use a whole box of Kleenex so, you could say that I had a pretty hectic week...

Except for Friday night, we, The Mighty Bulldog Band, blew everyone away when we danced not marched, danced all around the field!!! And at the end of the show, (Well, to the part that we made it to so far...) we had our legs spread apart and the bells of our horns facing the Drum Major and we were bouncing to the music!!! I could have marched that whole show again because of the reaction that we got from the audience, plus, I had so much fun doing it!!! C-ya'll later!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or the songs, I Turn to You by: Christina Aguilera and See if I Care and I Can Love You by: Gary Allan or Cheez-its or Cheez-nips!!!

Chapter Twenty One- Day One: The Dinner...Part One

Serenity sighed as she pulled her cell phone from her purse; she was checking to see if Joey had called her yet.

'No new messages' The screen said, Serenity sighed again and started to play a game; her auburn hair resting on her shoulders. She had a deep red dress on that had a low back, spaghetti straps and black high heels with a little red bow on them to match; her lips were colored the same deep red as her dress.

Yes, she was at the dinner party that Mokuba, Kaiba's younger brother, had invited her to take his place; within the weeks that Serenity and Kaiba were together, they both fell for each other and Serenity fled just to be with him.

They were in the United States of America.

Serenity was sitting at one of the many tables alone, some of the CEO's of other companies had separated Kaiba from her and now she was bored out of her mind. Since her phone had a camera, Serenity started to take pictures...then delete them. Most of the phone's memory was full, do to the fact that most of the pictures were of Joey and the rest of the gang. She had one of Kaiba, when he was rubbing his temples in his office; he had a smirk on his face but Serenity thought the picture was adorable.

For some odd reason, Serenity had this strange feeling that someone was watching her; she glanced over her shoulder but saw no one. That's odd, she thought and continued to press buttons on her phone...what she didn't know is that someone was watching her.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Behind one of the white marble pillars, Duke Devlin stood watching Serenity's every move; he had to duck quickly behind it because of Serenity's sudden snap of head.

Being a CEO of his own company, Duke had no trouble getting into this dinner; he had every intention to get Serenity to fall for him. Even if he had to do it by force; which he planned to do when she was alone and out of sight of other people.

His eyes flashed an angry glint when he saw Kaiba approach Serenity...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hey," Kaiba said as he walked up yo his date, "What are you doing?" He asked.

Serenity ignored him for a couple of seconds while trying to find that picture of him in his office. She found it, got up from her seat and showed it to him.

"Where did you get this?"

Serenity just laughed and shut her cell phone cover and put it in his hands. "Hold this," She said and Kaiba slipped it in his pants pocket.

Serenity placed her purse in her seat and pushed her chair under the table and turned around to face Kaiba again; who have his hand extended and a question sprang to his lips...

"Would you like to dance?"

She smiled and placed her hand in his, and Kaiba led her out to the dance floor; a slow song was playing.

This being her first time to dance with a guy, Serenity let her instincts guild her and she found that her arms were placed around his neck and she was moving in time with his feet.

Kaiba noticed that she was trying so hard not to step on his feet.

"Relax," He whispered into her ear and Serenity looked up at him with confusion, "This is your first time to dance, isn't it?" He asked her.

Serenity blushed, "We, yeah, it is..." She answered, as she barely missed his foot again.

Kaiba stopped dancing and Serenity was even more confused, "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Here," Kaiba lifted her slightly off the ground and moved her until her feet were above his and let her down until he felt the pressure of her feet on his, "Is this better?" He asked her.

"I'm not hurting you?"

Kaiba chuckled, "No," He moved his feet and started dancing again, "I'm not as weak as your brother is."

Serenity rolled her eyes and smiled at him, she sighed and rested her he on his shoulder; this perfect moment was ruined by Serenity's cell phone vibrating in Kaiba's pocket.

Kaiba placed his hand in his pocket and drew out the shaking phone, and handed it to Serenity; who gave him an apologetic look and walked outside to take the phone call.

"Hello?" Serenity answered as she walked through the flower garden that was placed behind the dance hall.

"Hey, Serenity."

"Duke?" She asked the black haired dice-man on the other end of the line.

"Yeah, it's me."

"What's wrong?"

She had her back faced to him as he crept up behind her, "It's just that..."

"What Duke? Have you talked to Joey yet?" There was anxiety in her voice.

"No," Duke answered and closed his cell phone. Serenity heard the click and pulled the phone away from her ear, she placed it back and asked, "Duke?" One more time before hanging up completely.

Duke made a fast movement behind her and covered her eyes, "Yes?" He whispered into her ear...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"What's taking her so long?" Kaiba mumbled to himself as he lifted his body off of the seat and took the path that Serenity took to walk outside to take the phone call that her ringing phone persisted...

"Duke, I thought that you were in Japan?" Duke had still not uncovered her eyes and was leading her somewhere where he would not get caught.

"I'm a CEO too," He whispered as he locked the door behind them, only then did he uncover her eyes.

"Duke?" Serenity asked at the room, Duke walked over to her and kissed her lips.

"It'll all be over soon..." He whispered as Serenity struggled to get away...
