Chapter 36

Joey dragged Serenity into the hotel room and tossed her onto the bed. Joey sat on his chair, glaring directly at his younger sister.

Mai gasped, seeing Serenity and then a pissed off Joey. "Serenity? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'll tell ya why she's here, Mai. I caught her smooching Kaiba behind my back!" Joey interrupted.

Mai's eyes widened like saucers,she would have never guessed Serenity and Seto together. "S-Serenity? Are you….dating Seto Kaiba?" She asked.

"Um...well.."

"Oh this is just perfect! You snagged a nice one! Now you and I can go shopping!" Mai cheered.

"Who's side are you on anyways?" Joey asked his fiancée. Then his chocolate brown eyes turned towards Serenity. "Anyways that's not the point, are you sharing a room with him too?!"

"Yes, yes I am.." Serenity admitted.

Joey's eyes widened. "N-No...Serenity, what the hell?! With that psycho?! Geez, I'd rather you be with Tristan if that's what it took!"

"He's not a psycho, Joey! Seto Kaiba happens to be a caring, protective, kind man. Sure he's not perfect but who is! I know I'm not!" Serenity explained. "And I'm not interested in Tristan like that!"

Joey turned away from her. "Mai...I'm sorry, but I'm packing and taking Serenity home. You can stay here, but I'm using my plane ticket to get home!"

"No!" Serenity yelled.

"Joseph Wheeler, what the hell?!" Mai called out. "We haven't even begun this vacation!"

Joey grabbed his suitcase, immediately packing. "Sorry but I made up my mind! I don't want Serenity with Kaiba and I'm going to make sure I watch her head back to Domino!"

Meanwhile in Mokuba's hotel room, the raven haired teen was watching television while Rebecca couldn't help but think about Seto and Serenity. The two were unlikely couple...especially since Joey despised Seto, not to mention they had two different personalities and statuses.

"Think Seto and Serenity are alright?" Rebecca asked, preparing her tea.

Mokuba nodded. "I'm positive, babe!" He replied. "I'm sure they're getting along just perfectly as we speak."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Rebecca decided to answer it, suspecting it to be the maid. However it was none other than Seto Kaiba, who looked depressed as ever.

"Kaiba, is everything okay?" Rebecca asked as Seto entered their room. He silently ignored her.

Mokuba looked at his older brother. "Hey Seto! Where's Serenity?"

"She's gone…" Seto replied. "Her brother took her.."

The young couple's eyes widened. "Wait, what's Joey doing here?!" Mokuba asked.

"I don't know and I don't care! I just want Serenity back!" Seto declared, clenching his fists, holding back any tears.

"Seto…" Mokuba whispered.

"I...I….love her…" He said weakly, as a single tear slid down his cheek. "I've never felt this way about a woman."

Mokuba nodded and stood up. "Do you really love her?"

"With everything, Mokuba." Seto replied.

"Well...then go after her!" The younger brother cheered. "Don't let her slip through!"

Seto nodded, clenching his fists. No doubt, he had to go after the girl he loved. "I know what I must do…" He whispered with a determined tone in his voice. "Thanks little bro." The CEO said before leaving.

"Wait, how will you find out Joey's room number? He could be anywhere!" Rebecca called out.

Seto looked back at her. "Oh..I have my ways of getting information." He replied with a smirk before leaving the couple alone.

Rebecca was puzzled while Mokuba smiled proudly, if there was anything problem, Seto could definitely fix it.

"Good luck, big brother…" Mokuba thought.

Seto headed down to the lobby and approached the check in desk. The manager politely smiled at the famous CEO.

"Hello, Mr. Ka-"

"Tell me the room where Joey Wheeler is in!" Seto demanded.

"I'm afraid I can't do such a thing, Mr. Kaiba." The manager replied. "Unless...you give me some motivation.." He added, holding out his hand for money.

Seto growled. "Damn, vultures…" Then the CEO smirked, having another plan up his sleeve.

"Fine...I'll show you motivation." He replied, reaching out to the manager's hand before squeezing it tightly. The manager's eyes widened, feeling the pressure that was inflicted upon him and it only continued to get worse.

"P-Please let go, sir!" The manager begged.

"Not until you swear that you'll tell me Joey Wheeler's room number!" The blue eyed man demanded.

"Okay okay! I will!" The manager cried out. Seto released him before the manager winced in pain at the squeezed hand. After giving it seconds to recover, the manager researched Joey's name on the database.

"Ah, Mr. Wheeler is staying at Room 420." The manager replied.

Seto looked over at the screen, the manager was being truthful after all. "Good now hand me the key that'll give me access to all rooms."

Without hesitation, Seto was handed the keys. "Good work, consider this an improvement to your job." He bluntly replied.

"C-Certainly, sir. Now..I do work for tips." The manager suggested.

Seto turned away from the greedy man. "Alright fine, here's a tip: go get a new haircut, dork…I got someone who actually means something to save." He replied before leaving the lobby and a speechless manager.

Meanwhile Seto ran upstairs to the floor and headed to the room Joey was assigned to. The elder Kaiba used the key card to enter the room with no problem.

Serenity's eyes widened like saucers, it was Seto...right there in the room.

Joey and the girls turned around. "What the he- KAIBA?! What are you doing here, rich boy?!" Joey asked.

Seto glared at the blonde, young man as his icy blue met his brown eyes. "I'm here for Serenity…" He growled.
