(On With The Story!)

(Kaiba's POV)

Well, we're on our way home now. Mokuba's blaring the backseat radio as I do anything just to try and ignore him. "Hey Seto? Isn't this song the bomb?" Mokuba asked me happily as he started to head bang. I was staring at my little brother and mostly wondering what the hell they were teaching him at school…

"Master Kaiba? We're almost home? Want me to go by a fast food joint to get us some lunch before we go home?" Roland asked. God, what was with these people and fast food?

"Yeah!" Mokuba shouted enthusiastically at Roland.

"Alright!" Roland replied happily as I just leaned back in my seat and prayed we'd get home quick so I can go jump out my top floor window.

After the whole 'let's get one of everything on the menu' charade, we were finally home. Roland picked me up again when we stopped as I tried to ignore the glances of my next-door neighbors. Then personally reminding myself to kick them out of the neighborhood when I got the chance. "Seto, you're really light, how much do you weigh?" Roland asked as we neared the house.

Okay, first of all, that was one of the most stupid questions I had ever received in my life. Second, it wasn't his business. I never weigh myself. I don't think I need to. "I don't know." I replied dryly as I crossed my arms.

"Never mind. I was just curious." Roland replied, stopping at the front door and Mokuba rang the doorbell.

"Coming!" I heard one of my maids shout. After she opened the door, her eyes grew wide at the sight in front of her. "Uh… Wel-come home, Master K-aiba…"

"Whatever." I replied as Roland carried me up to the stairs to my bedroom, which sounds really bad now…

"We're here!" Roland announced happily before he pushed opened the already cracked door and walked over to my bed and laid me down. "Now I'm going to get the suitcases, okay? Want me to ask the maids to make you some coffee?"

"No. I just want to get some sleep." I replied as I lay on my side. I was so happy that those damn machines weren't hooked up to me anymore.

"Oh, all right." Well, good night, sir." Roland said before bowing and exiting the room. I sighed deeply after he closed the door behind him. After I closed my eyes I felt weird. I mean, not physically weird. But it was that horrible recognition that I owned something to someone. I opened my eyes again and seen my room. It was weird seeing it again.

It didn't feel like a month because I was in a coma, but I still felt like it had been too long since I was there. I don't know that Mokuba went through when I was in that coma, but I bet somewhere in his mind, he truly thought I was going to die. The last thing I remember was staring into the barrel of that pistol. Then waking up in the hospital. But that was in the past now, and after everything that happened with Gozuburo, that was a walk in the park…

(Domino High School)

(Normal POV)

Serenity was following Joey as they exited the building and started to walk home. "So, why were you late to lunch?" Joey asked.

Serenity was just lost in one of her thoughts again, but she knew that it was better to listen to Joey then him getting suspicious. "Just ran into Yukika." Serenity replied before looking up to him and getting 'that look' on his face whenever you mentioned a pretty girl to him. "Joey! If you don't cut that out, I'm telling Mai!" Serenity shouted as she wagged a finger threateningly.

"No! No!" Joey replied in a high panicked voice.

"Then stop acting like that!" Serenity said. After they got home, Joey instantly ran to the phone and demanded food while Serenity walked into her bedroom to write in her journal.

(The Next Day In Domino High School)

Serenity walked into her drama class and scowled angrily when she seen her drama teacher. Mr. Tangoshi waved friendly at her but she just instantly turned away and walked up to her seat. "Alright class, today I am going to tell you about the events coming up in two weeks. Alright, as you all know, Christmas Break starts in 3 weeks, but before that, there is going to be the annual winter dance!" Mr. Tangoshi said while the class just moaned in response.

"But this year, it will be a bit different! The girl's ask the guys this year! Won't that be fun?" Mr. Tangoshi asked when all the boys in the class cheered and all the girls gasped. "The preparation for the dance will begin in a week and if you want extra credit, you can sign up to help with the choosing of the music or decorating. But now, let's get back to the lesson…"

Serenity was thinking about all he just said and knew that it would be best that she didn't even go. She hated dancing. She had two left feet and what desperate man would ever say yes if she even asked anyway? Well, besides Duke and Tristan… "Hey Serenity." Tea whispered as she tapped her shoulder.

"What, Tea?" Serenity asked.

"Who are you going to ask?" Tea replied. Tea still hadn't told Serenity that she told Mai her secret. But the longer Tea thought about it, the more she thought that it was a lie. Serenity didn't seem like the type of person who would like Kaiba like that. I mean, the only girl's that like Kaiba we're whores who just wanted to get in bed with him. Because being in love with Kaiba for just pure compassion was unheard of. I mean, how could you love a guy with no feelings?

"I'm not going." Serenity snapped.

"What?" Tea asked, quite shocked.

"I have better things to do then go to a party with spiked punch and drunk teens having sex in the facilities." Serenity replied before placing her head on her desk. Tea looked at the angry girl strangely, but she knew Serenity was just in a bad mood lately. Well, for the past month actually. Tea knew that Serenity was upset about Kaiba. She didn't know if that was love or what, but she thought it wasn't best to think about things that were unexplainable.

(Kaiba Mansion)

"Seto? Seto?" Mokuba asked his older brother as he tried to wake him up. "Seto?" Mokuba asked again as he started to get worried when Kaiba didn't respond. "Seto?" Mokuba continued to ask before he shook his shoulder. Mokuba felt tears build at his eyes as he continued to look at his older brother who wouldn't wake up. "Please wake up." Mokuba cried as he kneeled by his brother's bedside and shook his shoulder again.

"What do you want Mokuba?" Kaiba finally asked before turning on his side away from his younger brother. After hearing his brother's voice, Mokuba breathed a sigh of relief before replying.

"I was just going to ask you if you wanted coffee." Mokuba replied.

"Okay." Kaiba replied as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Mokuba just smiled in response before happily skipping out of the room. Kaiba ran his hand through his hair just to fix it up a bit before he grabbed his laptop and started to work. After 2 hours of documents, figures, and salary, Kaiba closed the top of the portable computer. He had no idea why he couldn't think straight.

Kaiba had no one to pay back, so he had no idea why he wasn't able to think straight. Then it hit him…
