The next morning Serenity came downstairs for breakfest, but her face
still seemed half asleep. Serenity sat down but stared into space.
"Serenity, what's wrong?" Kaiba shook her body. Serenity quickly snapped
out of it. "Huh? Sorry, I wasn't quite paying attention."
"I can see that. Is there a problem?"
"No, I'm fine. No need to worry about me, I'm fine." Serenity assured.
"If you say so." Kaiba picked up the newspaper and scanned through it, finally something caught his eye. "Whats this?" He read the details carefully.
"What's wrong?" Serenity asked.
"It's your and your brother's house, it was burned down last night in a fire."
"What? Who could have done that?"
"Isn't it obvious that no good Bandit Keith did it?"
"But where will I live?"
"We'll talk about that when your brother gets back."
Serenity nodded and finished her breakfest. Kaiba kept looking at the paper and read the rest of that article. "Looks like Keith and his men were arrested because they were caught doing it." Kaiba read out loud. "Now he won't be able to bother you anymore."
"That's a good thing." Serenity got and left the mansion. She went to Tea's house, she had a few questions for her. "Hi Serenity, what brings you here?"
"I hope I'm not bothering you, but I have a few questions to ask you Tea."
"Come on in Serenity." Tea invited.
"Tea, I was wondering if you knew about Yami's past and stuff while he was back in Eygpt?"
"Not much, but I know a little. All I know is that he fell in love with a Princess there, but he said he was destined to live without her. I don't know if it was true or not, but that's what he told me."
"Did that Princess look like you by any chance?"
"Yes, Yami said back in those days, I was that Princess."
"So it wasn't just a dream, its all real." Serenity thought to herself. "Well, thanks for your time Tea, see ya later."
"Bye."
Serenity walked down the street wondering if all those previous dreams she had about Eygpt were real. "No it just can't be real, it was probably just a coincidence." She convinced herself. She looked at her watch, it was 1 in the afternoon already, but she still wasn't hungry. She finally wondered back to the Kaiba mansion around 6. "Where were you all day?" Kaiba asked.
"I was just wondering off by myself."
"You have dinner yet?"
Serenity shook her head. "I'm not hungry." She said walking back to her room.
An hour later Serenity heard a knock on her door. "Come in."
"Here I thought you might want to eat something so I brought you some food." said Kaiba, placing down the plate on table.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome." Kaiba walked out of her room.
"I don't get it? Why does he seem to care so much about me? Why?" Serenity asked herself. She finished her meal quickly. "This really doesn't seem to be the Seto Kaiba I heard of form my brother." Serenity went to bathroom to take a bath. She spent a long time in there with so many thoughts going through her mind. She fell on to her bed and dozed off into a sleep.

"Princess, come back!" Yami got up to chase after her. He heard a scream seemingly from the Princess. He ran faster, but found himself again too late. He found Princess Anzu's body on the ground, dead. Yami couldn't believe it. "Again, I failed to protect her. Noooooooooooooooooooooo!" Tears came streaming down his face. "It was all my fault, I never should have told her my realtionship with Serenity! I let her down again!"
History so far had already repeated itself with Princess Anzu's death. The shrine for her had already been started. "Help!" Yami heard a voice scream. Yami ran to where the voice came from. "Serenity?! Let her go now!" Yami ordered.
A bunch of guards were holdinh on to her tightly. "But lord, he was the one that killed the Princess."
"I did not!" the girl screamed.
"You dare not obey me!?" Yami was getting mad.
"Yes sir." they let go of her and went off.
"Are you ok?" Yami asked. "Who are you?"
"I'm Shizuka." the girl replied.
"That's wierd, she looks exactly like Serenity." Yami thought. "What were those guards talking about when they said you killed the Princess."
"I didn't!"
"Calm down, I believe you."
"I saw who killed her, I was passing by when that happened. It was those guards that killed her not me!. When they saw me witness them killing her, they ran up to me and threatened to kill me if I told anyone about them killing the Princess."
"I don't know why, but I believe you." said Yami.
"Thank you and I was honoured to be saved by a Prince."
Yami left her and returned to the palace. That night he was taking a walk out in the desert. "Leave me alone!" It was the voice he had heard earlier in the day.
"You know what happens when you don't listen to us don't you?" said one of the guards, pointing an arrow at the helpless Shizuka. "Don't do it! Help!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No!" Serenity screamed waking up. "That dream again!"
Kaiba rushed into her room. "What's wrong?"
Serenity threw her arms around him and started crying. "I was all my fault that she's dead!"
"I can see that. Is there a problem?"
"No, I'm fine. No need to worry about me, I'm fine." Serenity assured.
