Mixed Up.
(Author's note: Just to let some of you know, everyone is at there original ages, as in Kaiba, Yugi, Joey, Tea at 15, and Serenity at 14, and I'm not sure about Mai, but I'm just making her stay at 15 although she looks quite older. Also, they did hold weddings and marriages at such ages, right? ^^;;)
"Um.I don't know." Kaiba looked down at Serenity.
"Serenity! Don't ask such favors!" Joey cried out in alarm as he turned to Kaiba. "Go home!"
"No.please." Serenity grabbed onto Kaiba's hand. Kaiba just stared at Serenity in surprise. Was it actually fun for her to be with him?
Kaiba nodded as Serenity smiled. "Come on Joey, let's go!"
Serenity walked happily hand in hand with Kaiba as Joey walked disappointingly behind.
"I'm going to take a quick bath, so don't leave!" Serenity pointed at Kaiba. "Stay here."
"Okay." Kaiba sat on a chair, as Serenity was about to leave. "Wait!"
"Yes?" Serenity turned to Kaiba.
"Why did you choose such a wild horse?" Kaiba asked.
"What kind of a question is that?" Joey muttered.
"Well." Serenity's cheeks turned bright red.
"Well?" Joey asked.
"I wanted to impress you Kaiba!" Serenity cried out hastily as she ran away.
Kaiba smiled in awe. "I'm already impressed by you."
"Hmph," Joey glared at Kaiba. "You know, a quick bath equals two hours."
"So?"
"Why don't you do this whole kingdom a favor and leave Serenity? You'll never get to be with her, so why bother spending time with her?" Joey asked.
"We were both drawn to each other some how," Kaiba replied.
"You know about her wedding arrangement with some guy named Yugi in the kingdom of the South."
"Yes, I know that."
"You guys will just end of hurting each other. Personally I don't want Serenity to go off to another palace. My dream was to keep Serenity to myself, you know make her my queen," Joey said.
"But aren't you guys-?" Kaiba looked at Joey.
"I don't give a damn about that. I just want you to leave now without seeing her one last time. Go now before she grows fond of you," Joey pointed at the door to the garden.
"I suppose your right." Kaiba thought of Serenity, but perhaps it was for the best.
"Yea, just forget about her, alright?"
"Well, tell her.tell her I had a good time with her.and.I'll miss her."
"Sure thing." Joey smiled as Kaiba left.
The next three minutes, Serenity ran down the halls in her bathrobe.
"Sorry I took so-Kaiba?" Serenity looked around the room.
"Kaiba's gone," Joey said from the door.
"Where did he go?" Serenity asked.
"Kaiba's never coming back."
"Why?"
"Kaiba chose not to interfere with your life from this point on. He says he had a fun time and never wishes to see you again."
"You're lying!"
"I'm just telling you the words that came out of Kaiba's mouth. Perhaps it's the best for you, you know? I mean father would never approve of it," Joey tried to comfort his sister.
"I'm going to miss him so much."
"Why? He says he's never going to miss you!" Joey cried out as he grabbed Serenity's shoulders.
Serenity looked deep into Joey's face and burst into tears. "Leave me alone!"
"Serenity."
"Please." Serenity ran to her bed as she wept.
"Seto! Your back late!" Mokuba ran to his brother.
"Where were you at a time like this?" Bakura asked with a worried expression. "Just in town you know." Kaiba picked up his brother.
"I was worried sick about you.it's like you never have time to hang with me anymore." Bakura said softly.
"Hmm?" Kaiba put Mokuba down as he faced Bakura. "What do you mean?"
"You're hiding something Kaiba! I wish I can find out what you are hiding."
"I won't be hiding anything." Kaiba said as he vaguely thought about Serenity.
"Good." Bakura smiled uneasily at Kaiba.
"Seto, play with me!" Mokuba ran around Kaiba.
"Haha, all right," Kaiba smiled as he grabbed Mokuba.
"I don't understand, why do you want make Yugi rule at age 15?" The royal duke asked the queen of the South.
"Yugi is a bright boy. He'll be a fantastic ruler. I'm getting old you know.and it was really sad after his grandfather's death. It would give him the determination to be a good ruler." The queen said.
"And for his wife.you know she is nearly blind and is just 14!"
"Yes I know that.but I saw her picture. She is a lovely thing, isn't she?" the queen took out a picture of Serenity.
"But being queen is not all about looks your majesty," another duke cried out.
"She's prettier than the royal consorts! Plus, if we support this marriage between north and south, we won't have wars or arguments, right?" The queen smiled as the dukes admired her idea.
Yugi was wandering around the palace grounds as he heard scattered feminine laughs. He went towards the direction of the laughs and heard the lady consorts talking.
"Have you heard of the girl that is engaged to Prince Yugi?" The lady consorts gathered around each other.
"How does she look like?"
"I heard she had the facial of an angel!"
"She has long brownish orange hair and eyes as big as stars."
"Well, it's not like I would have liked to marry Prince Yugi," one of the girls cried out as Tea heard this.
"I know, he's not very handsome, I heard the prince in the north is very good looking!"
"Oh! I know! My brother met him at a horse race!"
"He's nothing compared to Prince Yugi!"
"THAT IS NOT TRUE!" Tea stood up in front of the lady consorts.
"What?" all the lady consorts stared at her.
Yugi also stared at her from his hiding place.
"Prince Yugi must be the kindest man I have ever met. He is brilliant, kind, charming, and sweet! You guys don't know him! You guys never got the chance to speak to him as I did!" Tea cried out.
"Hmm Tea, I see you have fallin for the prince, eh?" The lady consorts smiled at her.
"Too bad. He's taken by the princess in the north," a lady consort patted Tea.
"Hmm." Tea signed as she thought about the wedding arrangement.
Yugi shrugged as he left from his hiding place.
"It was kind of her to stand up for me and all, but I truly have no feelings for her." Yugi said to himself.
"We are going to arrange a meeting between the prince of the south and Serenity," the king of the north said to his royal supporters.
"That is a good idea, for the two should get to know each other."
"Yes, so we are going to have Serenity and the prince of the south to spend some quality time together before the wedding in six months." The king grinned as he thought about he happy marriage.
"Joey." Serenity crawled through the hole in the wall at night.
"Hmm? Serenity?" Joey sat up as he walked towards Serenity.
"I can't see well." Serenity squinted her eyes in the total darkness.
"Here," Joey grabbed her hand as he gently pulled her up. "Is something wrong?"
"I'm.I'm.I'm scared." Serenity started to cry in Joey's arms.
"Why?" Joey asked gently as he comforted her.
"Father told me everything.the wedding arrangement. the prince of the south."
"It's okay because I'm here," Joey hugged Serenity.
"Father's taking me with him in a week to the south.I have to spend a month there."
"WHAT?" Joey cried out as he hugged Serenity even tighter. "No, he can't do that!"
"I know." Serenity sniffled.
"Serenity.stay with me.tonight." Joey said gently.
"O.k." Serenity sniffled as slept the night with her brother.
"Before, we set the preparations to go the south, I want to find a suitable body guard for Serenity. Since I won't be there for a month, I need a responsible person. Send word through town and find me the most suitable men for me to choose!" The king cried out as he would soon find a bodyguard for his precious daughter.
