[BEFORE YOU READ THIS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THIS 'CONFESSION' ISN'T GOING TO SOUND LIKE, ' I REALIZE YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME' OR 'YOU'RE THE ONE' OR ANYTHING. I TRIED…PLEASE BE NICE. AND ENJOY!]
"You wanted to see me?"Serenity questioned in disbelief. Kaiba shrugged his shoulders. "Look Serenity, nothing ever surprises me or takes me off guard. Aside from surprising myself for admitting I was wrong and giving Yugi the title of the King of Games, which I to this day can't believe, nothing has. Until you came along"Kaiba stated. Serenity felt guilty as he said her name that way.
"You could have run and left my sight at that party, but you stayed. You tried to stand your ground while you shook like a dog. I called your brother a mutt and you kissed me, and ran away."He stated. Serenity was blushing as she dropped her head in shame. 'I knew it, he doesn't want anything to do with me'she thought sadly as he reviewed their time together
"After that night, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get that out of my head. I did the only thing I knew that would help me forget you and what happened. And it got me a hospital visit and wasted months of pointless meetings." He said annoyed. Serenity was shaking and near tears. She shook her head as her heart was feeling sore waiting for the impending rejection.
"I get it! I wasted your time..I'm..I'm so sorry!"She said apologetically. She turned to run away until she felt her arm was caught. Kaiba grabbed onto her arm stopping her from running.
"Can't you stay in one place without running away!"Kaiba shouted. Serenity shook and was now crying.
"I get it you don't want to see me.."Serenity was interrupted.
"Quit your blubbering and let me finish!"He shouted harshly. Serenity hiccupped as she stopped resisting and faced him again. He let go of her arm as used her hand to wipe away her tears.
At the moment Joey and Tristan were coming out of the burger joint looking completely nauseous.
"I'll never trust a burger again"Joey said sadly as he was in pain. Tristan was trying to puke. "Eh, wasn't Serenity here just awhile ago."Tristan pointed out. Joey barely realizes this and in an instant, he gains his energy back.
"THAT'S RIGHT! I FORGOT ABOUT SERENITY! AHH!"Joey shouted to himself grabbing his head in frustration. He spies Mai and Tea with Yugi walking out of a gift shop with bags. He runs over to them in a panic.
"TELL ME YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN SERENITY!"Joey pleaded. They looked shocked. "What?! I thought she was with you!"Tea shouted. Mai was worried now. "YOU LEFT YOUR SISTER ALONE TO EAT A LOUSY BURGER! HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET!"Mai shouted.
"OH LIKE YOU'RE ONE TO TALK! YOU HAD YOUR HEAD DEEP IN CHEAP LEATHER OVER THERE THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE HER!"Joey retorted.
"Hey, what's the problem?"Duke asks casually as he approaches his friends. They all look at him desperately, scaring him.
"Duke please tell me Serenity was with you!"Joey shouted worried. "Uh no, I was with a few girls..wait you LOST SERENITY! HOW STUPID ARE YOU JOEY!"Duke shouted.
"Don't give me that dice boy!"Joey shouted back angry. "Time out Joey! We've got to find Serenity!"Yugi shouted trying to get everyone to understand the big picture.
"So you guys enjoying the fun"Mokuba asked happily walking over to the gang. "No we're not cuz my sister's lost in this funhouse!" Joey shouted worried.
"Oh don't worry she's safe at the Kaiba…"Mokuba stops himself as he sees he almost slipped out where she was. The gang is now staring at Mokuba suspiciously. He is fidgeting and starts to panic himself.
"Uh ya know I have a lot of work to do so I better.."Joey grabs him by the collar as Mokuba turns his back and attempts to walk away. "Not so fast shrimp, you know where Serenity is and you're gonna tell us now"Joey said threatening.
Mokuba was defiant. "I don't know what you're talking about, now let me go!"he commanded. "Don't think cuz you're brother thinks he's such a big shot you can tell me what to do"Joey added not buying the little guy's tough routine.
"Please Mokuba, we're really worried about her. Where is she?"Tea pleaded. Mokuba looked at all of their faces and sighed in defeat. "Alright…I don't know how you guys are gonna like it"Mokuba added unsure. He just let the plan slip out. 'Things are gonna get ugly now'
Meanwhile at the Kaiba Dome Kaiba was coming clean."When you saved my brother, I said thank you and made it clear that we weren't friends. And after that stunt it was harder to forget about you. I tried everything I could to get you out of my head but nothing worked. Then you come up again in time for me to pass out in front of you and get sent to the hospital. You waste your time staring at me passed out on a bed knowing that I could care less if you were there or not."Kaiba added on. Serenity was looking confused now. She didn't know where he was going with this.
"Then like a bad dream you come back again and run AGAIN just to get yourself mugged by a couple of goons in black. Your brother barges into my office with a pathetic threat telling me what happened and the next thing I know, I'm ordering my security to find those guys and put them behind bars."Kaiba says. Serenity looks a little happier now.
"And as if the day couldn't get any stranger, I end up at that dump of an apartment of yours and go out of my way to give back what they stole from you. And while I was on my 'vacation' I still couldn't get you out of my head. No matter what I did YOU always came up no matter what I was doing or where I was! Then you decide to play mystery date with the geeks just to get to me!"Kaiba shouted. Serenity was confused as to why he was angry now.
"And as if things couldn't get worse, Yugi comes up and preaches his cliché lines to me. To make things worse, he…was actually making sense"Kaiba admitted slowly.
Serenity is still in the dark about what he was going on about. "Since ignoring you and pretending you didn't even exist only gave me more trouble, I decided to give this a try."He said as he started to approach her. Serenity blushes as her eyes go wide as Kaiba steps closer to her. Kaiba was now 2 feet away from her now with his arms crossed across his chest.
"If you expect me to try and get along with that brother of yours, I'm telling you right now that all the money in the world couldn't make me even tolerate him for a day. When the media hears about this, be prepared to lose your privacy in a matter of seconds. And as for contact, I'll give you the same number I give Mokuba to contact me for any serious reason. I don't do small talk and any kind of public affection is off limits. I have an image to uphold and after everything that's happened to Kaiba Corp in the past, the last thing I need is a bad publicity." Kaiba stated as fact.
Serenity was lost now. "Uh, what are you talking about?...wait…are you asking me…"She tried to ask but was in disbelief as to what he MIGHT actually mean. She smiled hopefully.
Kaiba smirked at her reaction realizing she finally understood what he was saying. "So what's your answer?"Kaiba asked confidently with his smirk. Serenity was just smiling with a complete pink face.
"Look if you can't answer now fine.."Kaiba started to say as he turned his head away from her dropping the smirk and looking annoyed. "But just re…"he was interrupted as Serenity suddenly lunged at him holding him around the waist. Her head rested on his chest as she held him close happily. Serenity couldn't have been happier. Kaiba, THE Seto Kaiba just asked her, in his own words, to be his girlfriend!
Kaiba was taken off guard by this and held her by her shoulders as he pulled her off him slightly to look him in the eyes. "I'll take that as a yes…" he said with a smirk. " now how are you going to break this to your brother about…"he couldn't finish the sentence as Serenity pressed her lips to his again jumping onto her toes. Kaiba was beyond words at the moment. His mind told him to pull her off of him and scold her for pulling such a stunt again. But another part of him, that he was listening to, was telling him to let go. At that moment, Kaiba slowly shut his eyes and returned the kiss. Her arms were still wrapped around his waist as they shared this special moment. Kaiba felt all the pressure, all the weight, all the shame he put on himself for even thinking about Serenity melt away. This small, meek little girl had tamed the blue eyed dragon. As corny as the line is, Kaiba had never felt this way before. Serenity Wheeler was a one of a kind girl that truly was the best, because Kaiba only had taste for the best. She was just hoping that this moment wasn't a dream. Seto Kaiba was actually kissing her back.
But at that moment, call it bad timing or fate, but a certain blonde male and his buddies were entering the Kaiba Dome at that very moment and witnessed the scene before them. Kaiba's hands still on her shoulders as Serenity's arms were still wrapped around his waist. Their lips were still connected together for who knows how long. Kaiba and Serenity were sharing their first sincere moment together and just like that…
"GET YOUR DIRTY LIPS AWAY FROM MY SISTER!"Joey shouted as he started charging at Seto Kaiba. Serenity and Kaiba sepeate from each other long enough to witness Joey come running towards them and tackle Kaiba to the ground with a grunt.
"Kaiba!"Serenity shouted in shock and concern.
[FOR THOSE WHO WERE DISAPPOINTED AS TO HOW I WROTE THIS I'M SORRY BUT I COULDN'T PICTURE KAIBA SAYING 'I LOVE YOU' OR SAYING 'YOU'RE AN AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GIRL'. FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS DRAGON BALL Z, I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS COUPLE AS VEGETA AND BULMA. VEGETA ENDS UP MARRYING BULMA AND HAVING KIDS WITH HER, WITHOUT ONCE SAYING 'I LOVE YOU'. HE INSTEAD SHOWS HIS LOVE BY SACRIFICING HIMSELF FOR HER AND HIS FAMILY, AND GETTING JEALOUS WHEN SOMEONE HITS ON HIS WIFE. I TRIED BUT JUST KNOW THERE'S MORE TO COME…PLEASE REVIEW]
