(On With The Story!)

(Kaiba's POV)

I kept quietly going in and out of the door several times. I had no idea why I was stalling like this. I don't even know why I cared. Because I could easily get her out once he was done with her, but I couldn't let her lose her virginity like that. Wait, why the fucking hell am I even talking about that? Okay, Kaiba, focus…

Great, I'm talking to myself again… "Wow, you're a virgin, aren't you? I don't get to fuck many of them…" the sick bastard said. God, I kept reliving horrible moments over and over on this damn trip, aren't I?

All right, I'm losing focus again. Just concentrate and the best way to get out of this is the element of surprise. The guy was as dumb as a rock, so this couldn't be very hard. I sighed deeply before grabbing a long rod I seen discarded on the ground. I picked it up. I had no idea if a hard blow would kill him, but if I did, oh well.

I flew around the corner and bashed in his head in with the rod I found. The sound of the metal cracking his skull and body to the floor must have woken the shrimp up. "Kaiba?" she whispered before she noticed that she was naked and her legs were wide open exposing everything… Absolutely disgusting…

"Kaiba!" she shouted before blushing and pulling her legs closed and pulling her lifted dress over her legs. She then looked at the ground and started to tremble when she seen the blood flowing out of the thug's cracked skull.

"Let's go." I said before dropping the rod and turning to leave the room.

"Kaiba…" I heard her whimper as she stayed on the bed she was almost banged on.

"What is it now?" I hissed before turning around and saw her holding her leg.

"I think my leg is broken…" she said. Oops. I guess the rod was a little too long and hit her leg in the process. I guess that's what really woke her up.

"Does it hurt?" I asked as I stepped in the large pool of blood and she cringed as she watched me. Not like I really cared, but we had to get out of here and if I was quick and asked the most obvious question, we'd get through it quicker.

"Yeah. Real bad." She replied. I looked at it for a few more seconds before realizing it was broken. "Kaiba?" she asked after a few moments.

"What?" I replied as I looked up.

"Thank you… For… Saving my life…" she said.

"We're even." I replied before I offered her my arm so she can lean on me and hop on one foot because there was no way in hell that I was going to carry her.

"Well, I still appreciate it." She continued before laying her hand on my shoulder and standing up on her good leg.

"Whatever. We have to go, so stop talking." I replied before we walked out of the door. As we walked down the hall, really slow, I might add, it was really quiet. I heard the shrimp whimper every single time she moved her leg. I felt her hand grasping my shirt harder and harder.

When we finally got out the building, she had already dug her nails into the skin on my back. "I'm sorry…" she said out of nowhere as we neared my car.

"Sorry for what?" I replied before I walked over to the passenger door and opened it. After I helped her in, she was still quiet about my question.

"I'm sorry I got sick." She said as she reached for a small bag in the backseat.

"It's over. You don't have to talk about it anymore." I replied before reaching it and handing it to her. After I handed her the bag, I reached in my pocket and took my car keys out. After starting the car, I started the drive to the airport. Speaking of which, we missed our scheduled plane, we'd have to buy new tickets, and I had no idea how long we'd have to wait… God, could this trip get any worse?

(Kaiba Mansion)

(Normal POV)

Mokuba was falling asleep with his head on his hand when the phone rang. Mokuba flew out of his seat as he proceeded with a karate stance before he realized it was just the phone. "Oh. He-he." Mokuba said to himself before lowering his arms and walking a few steps over to the phone. After, he picked it up and pressed 'talk', he continued. "Hello?"

"Mokuba, is Kaiba there yet?" a panicked Mai asked over the phone.

"No. He isn't, why?" Mokuba replied as he furrowed his brows wondering why on earth why Mai would know that his brother even had left.

After Mai let out a long sigh, she continued. "Well, Joey has been calling my house looking for Serenity."

Mokuba had a weird look on is face as he just listened to what the blonde said. "Well, shouldn't just be at home with her brother?" Mokuba asked perplexingly.

"Do you even know that Serenity went with your brother?" Mai asked noticing the boy's questionable voice.

Mokuba just started to laugh as he held his stomach. "You got to be kidding! I think you got the wrong Seto Kaiba." Mokuba replied as he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.

"I'm serious, Mokuba!" Mai shouted over the other line as she clenched the phone firmly in her thin hands. .

"Really?" Mokuba asked as he noticed the seriousness tone in Mai's voice.

"I swear. Didn't he tell you?" Mai replied.

"No." Mokuba said when he got some evil things he was going to do when his brother came home. God, he could blackmail him for months.

"Well, Joey keeps calling and asking to talk to Serenity, because she was supposedly supposed to spend the night at my house. But since she's actually with Kaiba, I can't put her on the phone. I'm running out of excuses, Mokuba, what am I going to tell him when he comes to pick her up? I can't even get a hold of him! Can you?" Mai explained.

"Um… Well, I'll call the car he took. I think Roland put in some communication systems, so I'll go see if they work and I'll call you back soon, alright?" Mokuba said before hanging up the phone and running to the security room.

"Good afternoon, Master Mokuba, need anything?" the man in the room asked before drinking a small sip of tea.

"Yeah, I need you to have a router going to the communication systems on the Kaiba Corp. vehicles to see if you can track what car my brother is using so I can contact him directly through an intercom." Mokuba said in once quick breath as soon as he shut the door behind him.

"Uh --- Well, of course, sir." The man replied a little bit surprised but quickly carried out his orders.

(Middle Of Nowhere)

(Kaiba's POV)

As we kept driving along this damn road, the shrimp was trying to make a decent cast out of anything she found in the bag I handed to her. I heard a small beep and seen a small intercom on the system in my car. "That's funny." I said to no one in particular as I pulled the walkie-talkie looking like thing off the receiver and I immediately heard a voice.

"Hi Seto! Hi Serenity!" Mokuba's happy voice came from the small device. Mokuba? Wait, how did he know Serenity was with me? Valentine…

"Mokuba --- What --- Where --- Oh never mind! What is it?" I stuttered.

"Joey's is getting mad! Mai can't hold him off much longer, why aren't you here?" Mokuba's voice asked. "Wait, are you on your way home on the airport?"

I sighed deeply knowing full well that we probably couldn't be back until that night. "Mokuba, we're still in France and I have no idea where the bloody hell we are!" I barked. Great, I really had to get back to Japan…

"Bloody, huh? That's funny." Mokuba replied. "Well, since your there, it might take awhile, huh? Well, I'll call Mai and work out a distraction, all right? Talk to you later, Seto! I love you!" Mokuba said before hanging up.

"Are we going to be there by tomorrow at least?" the shrimp asked as she looked at me.

"I don't know. I really don't know…" I replied before leaning back in my seat and continuing on this damn never-ending road.
