"Well, well ,well? How nice to see you again." Said Bandit Kieth with a smirk. He grabbed Serenity's arm and pulled her towards him. "You try screaming and you'll regret it for the rest of your life! Got it!?"

"Let me go! Please!"

"Why should I?"

"Help!"

"I thought I told you not to yell!" Stated Bandit Keith as he punched Serenity in the face.

"Ahh!" Serenity screamed again in pain.

"Shut up!" He punched her again, this time in the stomach.

"Please stop it!"

"I will as soon as I feel like it." He threw another fist at her.

"Ahh!" Serenity screamed in pain.

"You dare not listen to my orders!?" Keith grabbed her left arm and twisted it hard hearing satisfying cracks of bones.

"AHHHH! My arm!" Serenity yelled. She knew it was bad or even worse broken since she couldn't feel nor move it anymore.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Too bad nobody's here to save you now, huh?"

Serenity clutched her lifeless left arm. Never in her life had she suffered so much pain. She finally passed out from the pain. Bandit Keith was about to bend over and take her with him when he caught a pucnh in the face. "What the?" He was caught off guard again, this time recieving a knee to the gut. "Kaiba?"

Seto looked down at him furious and knocked him out hard blow to the stomach. "I hope you learned your lesson." Seto looked down at the beaten up Serenity, he picked her up and drove her to the hospital.

The next morning..........

"King.....King!" Serenity called out in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a hospital for some reason. She looked at her left arm, it was bandaged up. She felt someone's presence near her. She looked to the right and saw Seto Kaiba sleeping with his head resting on the bed, but his body was on the ground. HE snapped awake. "Serenity."

"Seto, what are you doing here?" Serenity asked.

"I'm the one who brought you to the hospital. I found you near the park last night. What were you thinking going there that late in the night."

"I don't know. I just felt something was wrong. What were you doing there?"

"I was working on my labtop in the park last night when I heard you scream out for help."

"Thanks for saving me from that guy. Can you call Yami for me? Please?"

Seto looked down at her. "Didn't he tell her he was going to leave last night?" Kaiba asked himself.

"Please..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

"Why?"

"He's already gone."

"What do mean he's gone."

"He left back for his own time last night." Kaiba explained.

Serenity shook her head. "No that can't be true, why wouldn't he have told me if he was going to leave?"

Just then Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea came rushing in the door. "Serenity! You alright?!" Joey asked concerned, running up to her bed.

"She's fine." One of the nurses answered.

"Is it true that Yami left last night?" Serenity asked everyone with her head down.

Everyone stared at eachother, not knowing what to tell her. Finally Tea spoke. "Its true Serenity, Yami left last night back to his own time."

Serenity couldn't believe it, Kaiba really was telling the truth. She broke out into tears. "No! Its all a lie! It has to be! King would never leave like that! Its lie!" She screamed inbetween her cries. Seto who was sitting on her bed pulled her closer to him letting her head rest on his shoulder. "Its all a lie!"

"Calm down Serenity, just calm down. He'll be back someday, I promise." Kaiba lied, patting Serenity's bactrying to comfort her a bit. Joey looked completely shocked at the way Seto Kaiba was holding his sister. Ring ring ring! Joey reached into his pocket for his phone. "Hi, Joey speaking."

"Joey! You're going to be late! Hurry up will ya!?"

"Sorry, I'm on my way. Just let me run home and get my stuff. Bye!"

"I have to go guys! I promised Mai a week ago, that I'd go to Florida with her today. Take care sis!" Said Joey running off.

"Did Joey just say he was going to Florida with Mai?" Tristan asked confused.

"Guys, you can all go now, I'll be fine by myself here. Thanks for coming anyways." Serenity interrupted.

"Well bye. Take care of yourself." They all walked out the door, but Kaiba was still in the room. "I'll stay here for a bit longer if you don't mind."

Serenity was rubbing away her tears with the back of her sleeve. "Here." Kaiba handed her a box of tissues. "Thanks."

Kaiba stayed with her for another hour before leaving the hospital. Kaiba had asked how much longer she was going to be staying in here and 3 more days was the answer he got. "Man, does that Bandit Keith ever know when to quit?" Kaiba thought.

"Why is Kaiba being so nice to me? Why does he care for me?" Serenity wondered.
