Wrong Place at the wrong time

(A/N: Sorry for the long wait!!! I was working on my digimon fanfics, so I couldn't get caught up with this one! ^^ I'm sorry I didn't have a lot of Seto/Serenity stuff in the last chapter. Just wanted to give those Joey/Mai fans some scenes. ^^ And no, I am not a Joey/Mai fan, sadly. But I do agree they look cute together. I'm planning to end this story in another maybe 5 chapters and then I am going to work on my new Yugioh yaoi fic with my favorite couple..JOEYXKAIBA!!! ^o^ Well, enjoy the story!! Serenity/Seto RULES!!!)



"Five months have already gone by your majesty," the duke told the King of the North.

"Yes, well I suppose the wedding is in a month. Shall I go down to the South and get the preparations ready?"

"That would be a wise idea."

"Should I bring Joey along with me?"

"I suggest you do, for it may be his last time seeing his sister."

"Very well."

Bakura looked around uncomfortably. He was a room filled with maidens undressing. Bakura tried hard not to blush as he went into the restroom to dress in his night wear.

"Hey, your new here, aren't you?"

Bakura looked up to see a girl walking towards him.

"I'm Tea." Tea smiled. "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Sure, uh.thanks," Bakura smiled as he thought of where Kaiba could be. Then he put his hand into his pocket and felt the diamond necklace Serenity lent him. He might as well return it. "Um, I have a question!"

"Yes?" Tea turned around.

"Do you know where the princess's room is?" Bakura asked. "I need to return something of hers."

"Well, her chambers are on the 3rd floor, the huge door to your left."

"Thanks," Bakura went out the girl's dormitory as he went up the long flight of stairs. He finally reached to Serenity's bedroom. Bakura carefully opened the door, for he didn't want to wake up Serenity. Then he heard voices within the room.

"In one month.one month.I am to be married." Serenity signed, as she and Kaiba were sleeping on the same bed. Bakura's eyes widened as he hid behind the marble wall. The cold marble ground gave him shivers underneath his thin nightdress.

"Time went by so fast." Kaiba signed.

"I don't want to marry him! I don't want too!" Serenity cried out as she tugged on Kaiba's shirt. "What would you do?"

"Hm.I would run away on the wedding day with the person I truly love, but that's just me." Kaiba smiled down on Serenity.

"Can I be that person?" Serenity asked.

"If you want."

"Oh Kaiba.I'm not satisfied with anything!!" Serenity complained.

"Is there something I can do to make you feel better?" Kaiba asked.

"Well.yes."

"What?"

"Kiss me."

"What?"

"Kiss me. You don't have to if you don't want too, I'm not forcing you too." before Serenity could finish her statement, her lips were shut by Kaiba's lips. Her eyes slowly closed as she fell deeply into the kiss.

"Kaiba, don't ever leave me."

"I won't."

"I love you." Serenity fell in to a deep sleep, but before she began to dream, she said, "Do you love me?"

"I love you," Kaiba said the three words just as Serenity was in deep sleep.

Bakura couldn't believe this. He silently went out of Serenity's room and walked back to the girl's dormitory. He walked towards his bed and lied down, as he cried himself to sleep.

Serenity woke up once again to see Kaiba gone.

"Kaiba, always does this to me!" Serenity giggled as she stood up to wash her face. She put on a pink dress as she walked down the stairs to have breakfast with Yugi. Yugi smiled as she joined him in the table.

"Say Serenity, let's go horseback riding!" Yugi suggested as Serenity was eating her soup.

"Horseback riding?" Serenity's mind remembered the time when her, Joey, and Kaiba went horseback riding. She smiled at the thought when she suggested the race.

"Well?" Yugi broke her chain of thought.

"Sure, I'd love to," Serenity smiled as Yugi fell in love with her smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Yugi grabbed her hand as they went to the stables. They each got a horse as Serenity had the urge to race.

"Hey, you wanna race me?" Serenity asked.

"What?"

"Come on, let's race!" Serenity smiled.

"Okay," Yugi smiled.

"We race to that post over there!" Serenity pointed at a post that was a few meters away.

"Okay," Yugi got ready and planned to purposely let Serenity win.

"On your mark, get set, GO!" Serenity cried out as she kicked her horse gently. She rode as fast as she can and grinned as she reached the post, but then she lost control of her horse.

"Oh no!" Serenity cried out as she tried hard to stop her horse. She remembered last time when he horse was out of control, but Kaiba saved her.

"Serenity! Hold on!" Yugi kicked his horse as he caught up with Serenity. He reached out his hand towards her. "Grab my hand!"

Serenity's mind flashed when Kaiba saved her and how he told her to grab his hand.

"I can't!" Serenity cried out as she closed her eyes tightly and squeezed the reins.

"Do you trust me?" Yugi asked determinedly.

Serenity's eyes widened as she turned her head back to look at Yugi.

"Do you trust me?" the words ringed in her mind as she thought of Kaiba. Kaiba. Of course she trusted Kaiba.

"Yes, I do trust you.." Serenity's mind went in circles as she reached for Yugi's hand. As Yugi grabbed her hand, he lost his balance. The two ended up tumbling down the hill as Yugi tried his best to protect her. Finally, they came to a stop.

"Are you alright?" Yugi asked as he picked the leaves out of her hair.

"Yes, I'm fine. Are you?" Serenity asked absentmindedly.

"I'm more concerned about you." Yugi was tired as he lied down on the ground with Serenity in his arms.

"Thank you for your concerns.." Serenity replied plainly. Then Yugi started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Serenity asked.

"You know, you should loosen up around me. I won't bite off your head or something. You also don't have to talk so formally to me," Yugi grinned at Serenity.

"I'm sorry, I'll try to act more loosen up.." Serenity blushed slightly.

"No, don't say sorry. It's okay. Just treat me like a friend or something, but I just want you to know one thing.."

"What?" Serenity asked as she looked up to Yugi.

"I love you."

Serenity's eyes widened at the words. Her eyes looked saddened. Kaiba never said those 3 words to her. Possibly in his mind, but never to her directly.

Yugi saw to her expression and bolted up. "Did I do something wrong?"

Serenity's mind went back in track. "Oh, no, nothing wrong."

"Well, I know that you can't return the feelings back, but I'm fine with it.." Yugi's eyes saddened.

"Oh no, you're a very respectable person and I admired you for that Yugi." Serenity smiled.

"Then can I kiss you?" Yugi asked.

"Well..umm.." Serenity looked to the side and thought about Kaiba.

"Um..absolutely no-" Serenity's lips were covered by Yugi's.

Kaiba finished helping the soldiers clean their weapons. He washed his hands as he thought about taking a ride in the woods on his horse. He went on his horse as he mindlessly took a stroll. Then he saw two figures on the hill covered in leaves.

"Are they in trouble?" Kaiba thought to himself as he rode to the two figures. Surprisingly, he saw Yugi kissing Serenity. Serenity noticed Kaiba, as she quickly pulled apart.

"Kaiba!" Serenity cried out, as Kaiba just stared at the two.

"Good morning. I am terribly sorry to interrupt and I will leave now, so you may continue," Kaiba mumbled slowly and bowed to show respect to Yugi.

"You may leave," Yugi said firmly.

Kaiba got on his horse as he left. Serenity stood up as she ran after him.

"KAIBA!" Serenity cried out as her eyes were in tears. Then Yugi grabbed her arm. "Why must you go after him?" Yugi asked.

"Because..because.." Serenity's started to sob at the thought of Kaiba seeing her kissing Yugi. "Because he is my body guard and he have my doll.."

Serenity lied for she didn't want Kaiba to get in trouble.

"I see.." Yugi looked to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I must go and take a bath for I am a mess," Serenity smiled weakly as she ran off to the palace. Tears rolled down her pink face, as she got ready to take a warm bath.

"Kaiba.." Serenity wailed as she cried in the warm tub. The maidservants walked up to her, but Serenity sent them away.

"Please..leave me alone.." Serenity cried out.

She hated herself. She hated her fate. She hated her eyes. She hated Yugi. She hated her own father. She hated everything and everyone, but there was one person she did not hate. Kaiba.
