Hi! Oh my goodness, so many reviews! Thank you all so much! Well, sorry about the no chapter yesterday, but it was the site maintenance. Well, I hope that you all enjoy this chapter and please review, but no flames!

(On With The Story!)

I just started at Mokuba with the most shocked look I probably ever gave. He was looking at me, his eyes full of terror like he was expecting me to blow up. What the hell did that fucking girl have to do with me? I didn't even want to think that she was here. "What?" I asked, my voice holding a little bit of anger.

"Uh…" was all Mokuba replied as he looked as if he was about to cry.

"Listen, all I want to know is if she was here, and if so, why?" I asked. I truly didn't want to get mad at Mokuba, and it most likely wasn't his fault.

"Well, she said she was worried about you." Mokuba gently whispered. He hadn't even blinked since I asked him the first question. I heard is answer and just thought he was crazy. That stupid bitch hated me and I hated her, so I had no idea why she would even be here. Unless…

"Was she touching me in any way possible?" I asked. God, I surely hoped not. If she touched me – I swear, I would –

"Well… All she did was touch your hand if she did." Mokuba replied, calming down slightly as I could tell. I thought about that. This was kind of awkward. Normally, any of the fan girl club would try and open my pants, but touching my hand? That was strange. So strange, I didn't have a reply.

"Oh." was all I said. In a calm voice, actually. Mokuba looked at me curiously. I didn't know the kind of emotion I had on my face, but I guess it was different then usual. I had to get out of this predicament, so I just changed the subject. "So, have I been missing a lot of homework?"

"Well, I've been doing it for you." Mokuba replied. He's been doing my homework? I'm luckier then I could imagine. I keep complaining how horrible my life is, but Mokuba's such a great brother, it kind of makes everything seem all right. "I'll keep doing it. You need rest." Mokuba continued, most likely noticing I was tired.

"Thanks, Mokie." I said. Mokie. I hadn't called him that in a long time. Well, after being in a coma for a month, you feel differently about the people around you. Well, not about the mutt or his sister. I still think he's a mutt and I'll always hate him. She's still irritating beyond anything normal.

"You're welcome, Seto. Get some sleep." Mokuba said while smiling widely.

(Mokuba's POV)

After I said those words, I watched Seto lie down and close his eyes. I hated seeing my big brother still have all those tubes and wires on him, but I knew it was for the best. At least he was awake. I was fine with anything as long as he was alive and okay. He didn't have as many bandages on, which I was super thankful for. The doctor even said he might not make it a month ago, but my brother proved them wrong.

My brother is the strongest person I know and he would never let me down. I know that for sure now. I sighed before standing up. My brother's reaction to Serenity was unexpected. I thought for sure that he would start yelling and order her thrown in jail. But I knew that he was tried and most likely didn't want to strain himself. Well, at least he's resting now.

(Domino High School)

(Normal POV)

After the class, all the class left except for Serenity, who was told to stay after class. "Okay, Serenity." Mr. Tangoshi said as he shut the door behind all of the other students. "What's going on?"

Serenity was stalling a bit. She was still lost in her thoughts, but for a moment, she broke out of them and answered, "I'm just thinking about a lot of things."

"That's all well and good, Miss, Serenity, but you have been slacking in class lately. And if you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to put you on stage setup instead of playing the part of Naoki." Mr. Tangoshi said.

"Okay." Serenity replied, her thoughts straying again.

After a long sigh, Mr. Tangoshi continued. "You get one more chance. Tomorrow, you better be fully into class or you will not be playing the part of Naoki and it'll be given to someone else."

"Uh-huh." Serenity said before getting up out of her seat with the books in her arms. Serenity wasn't even listening as she walked out the door and her teacher watched her until she shut the door back behind her. Mr. Tangoshi just sighed and shook his head before he walked over to his desk to grade more papers.

Serenity walked out of her drama class and over to the cafeteria. She sat next to Mai as Tea started to ask her questions, "Hey Serenity, what did Mr. Tangoshi want?" After Serenity didn't answer and her head proceeded to stay done, Tea asked again, "Serenity? What did the teacher want? Serenity?"

"What's wrong with her?" Mai asked.

"Um. I have to talk to you." Tea whispered as she motioned her hand for Mai to follow her to the girl's bathroom.

"Be right back." Mai said in excuse before following Tea. Once they were in the bathroom, Tea ducked and looked to see if anyone else was in the bathroom. Once the coast was clear, she started.

"I think Serenity has something for Kaiba." Tea said. She didn't want to tell anyone Serenity's secret, but Serenity was in a deep depression it seemed, and Mai usually know what to do since she was older.

"A gift?" Mai asked perplexingly as she placed her hands on her curvy hips in question.

"No. Um… Well…" Tea said, stuttering every few seconds.

"Come on, out with it!" Mai replied angrily. Really wondering why Tea was acting so strange.

"I think Serenity likes Kaiba." Tea said quickly. Mai just looked at her strangely.

"Likes? What's wrong with that? Kaiba's alright." Mai replied.

"No. Likes likes Kaiba." Tea corrected as Mai's eyes grew wide at what Tea just said.

(Domino Hospital)

"Bored, bored, bored…" Mokuba mumbled as he swung his legs high over the edge of the chair he was sitting on. After another hour, Mokuba fell asleep in his chair. Kaiba's eyes opened just a few minutes later. He unhooked a few of the wires and quietly placed them on the machine. After unhooking the tubes afterward, he threw his legs over the bed. Roland was nowhere in sight, and Kaiba just suspected he probably was at the mansion.

After Kaiba stood up, he immediately realized he was in the dreaded hospital robe. "Oh God…" Kaiba moaned as he tried to close it over his behind which he was glad still had boxers over. "Damn thing…" Kaiba continued as he tried to find a way to keep it closed. After he just decided that he'll worry about it later, he entered the bathroom, careful not to wake Mokuba up.

After he removed his clothes, he got into the shower. He sighed deeply as he turned on the warm water. He never felt so glad to be able to take a shower before in his life. He felt the warm water patting gently on his body and wondered why he felt so tired. He just ignored it though. After 5 more minutes, he shut off the water and got out of the shower and after quickly drying off; he got into his old clothes again.

As Kaiba lay down in bed again, he remembered the fact that the shrimp was there like she actually cared about him. Kaiba didn't want to believe it. Serenity was the kind of person that was nice to everyone though, so Kaiba just thought she was doing it for what they call compassion. Kaiba hated that. After hooking up the wires and tubes again, he slowly removed the bandages he forgot to take off before the shower.

Kaiba saw the wounds and almost gagged. He didn't know that they would still look so fresh even after a month. He just ignored it and went to bed though…
