Chapter 7: Sweet 16, Soon to Come
Nuriko: o.o; Wow, a lot of people like Yami Bakura...let's see...Ayena Ishtar gave him $100 for the kissing booth. That equals 50 kisses. Ready Bakura?
Ayena: *goes to the kissing booth*
Bakura: *blushes slightly*
Nuriko: K, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, so no suing me!
For the next 2 weeks Serenity continues her job at Kaiba Corp and went steady with Seto and before she knew it, school was soon to start again. It was already decided that she would be staying with Joey since she definitely couldn't go home by herself. So soon all her things were moved into the spare room in which she was only supposed to spend a single summer. She didn't object though, it was good to be back with her brother, Joey and her dad again.
"Hey Serenity want to pick up your uniforms today?" Domino High had a regulation outfit everyone had to wear like most other schools in the area.
"Sure Joey! Should we now?"
"Yeah, cause don't you have work this afternoon?"
"Nope, Mokuba and Seto are spending the day together. I am going shopping with Tea and Isis though" Serenity pulled on a pair of sandals and picked up her mini book bag. A flash on her dresser caught her eye for a moment, it was that bracelet...She had forgotten about it for the last few weeks but every now and then it seemed to work it's way back into her thoughts.
"Hey, are you coming?"
"Yes!" Serenity shook her head and walked with Joey towards the school building.
"Ah, Miss. Serenity Wheeler. We received word you would be joining our school and your old records came yesterday. I hope you enjoy it here and maybe you can keep your brother out of trouble!" The headmaster joked.
"Hey!" Joey objected making Serenity laugh. Joey and Serenity walked from the school together, Joey holding her things.
"I better go meet up with the girls" Serenity explained. "I'll see you later Joey and thank you for taking my stuff home!" Serenity waved and walked across and down the street.
5 minutes later Serenity reached the small shopping mall where she would meet the others. She was the first to arrive.
"Good afternoon" a voice said behind her. She turned to see Isis Ishtar, Malik's sister. This was one of the first times Serenity had seen her dress casually. She was wearing a pair of jean caprice, a sleeveless form-fitting top, tan sandals and her millennium item. Her hair was the same as always except she wasn't wearing the gold hairpieces.
"Hi Isis, it's good to see you again!" Serenity hugged her friend from battle city.
Next to come was Tea who brought Mai along with her. Tea wore a spaghetti strap light pink shirt, denim miniskirt and platform sandals. Mai was dressed in a tan miniskirt, dark blue tube top and a tan vest to match her skirt. She also wore black boots and a variety of jewelry.
"Hey you guys, sorry I'm so late. I ran into Mai on the way over, can she join us?" Tea asked excitedly.
"Yeah, no problem" Serenity replied with a warm smile. The 4 girls headed into the mall and went to a jewelry store.
"So Serenity, Joey told me that your 16th birthday is this Friday. The last day before school" Mai said.
"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot!" Serenity's eyes widened. "I can't believe it!"
"You seriously forgot? It's your sweet 16 too!"
"Oops" She sighed. "I've been busy with lots of other things and I guess it never really crossed my mind"
"Yeah, I'm sure if you even forgot your own birthday!"
"Hey Serenity, Isis Mai and I are gonna head to Hot Topic, we'll meet you there after you visit the bookstore" Tea said as she dragged away the other two girls.
"Uh...okay" The 3 disappeared around the corner as Serenity paid for a pair of earrings.
"So, do you think Kaiba knows about her birthday?" asked Mai as they entered Hot Topic.
"I doubt it, if she forgot about it herself" Isis replied with a laugh. Tea nodded.
"Why don't we tell him? Maybe we could set up a party with his help" Tea suggested.
Mai fingered through a row of long pants.
"Yeah, we can set it up for Friday night. A party, a dance and a sleepover. Do you think Kaiba would let us hold it at his place, he does have a mansion after all!" Mai pulled out a pair of hot pink snowboarding type pants and turned to the other girls for their input on the matter.
"Sounds good to me. Anyone got his number?" Isis asked quizzically.
"Um..." Tea started.
"I'll take that as a no" Isis cut in "Come on, let's just swing by his house now and ask him"
"Okay" Mai purchased a few things before leaving with the other girls.
"Hey guys what's...up?" Serenity blinked. Where were they? Hadn't they all agreed to meet here? She sighed and headed home, not in the mood for any long searches.
Meanwhile Mai, Isis and Tea had arrived at Kaiba's extravagant home. Tea walked up to the door and pushed the doorbell. Instead of the usual tone there was a loud 'Moo!'
"Dammit Mokuba I told you not to change the doorbell anymore!"
"Ah, sorry big brother!" The door opened to show the younger Kaiba brother.
"Hi, are you guys here to talk to my brother?" He asked. Tea nodded and Mokuba proceeded to lead them to Seto's home office.
"Why are you all here?" He asked, not looking up from his laptop.
"Well, do you know about Serenity's birthday this Friday?" Tea asked. That caught Seto's attention.
"No, why?"
"We were wondering...if we could hold the party here? I mean she is your girl friend and it would mean a lot to us"
"I guess...but only for the first reason"
The girls high-fived. "Thank you Kaiba!" They chorused together.
"Okay, bring here and all her friends at 7pm Friday. I'll handle everything else" Seto said plainly.
"I think...this will be Serenity's best birthday ever!" Tea laughed.
Nuriko: Okay here's another finished chapter. Please review and try not to flame me ^^;; Oh, hey Bakura...you okay?
Bakura: *nods* *_*
Ryou: *mumbles* Sounds like someone had a good time.
Nuriko: Okay...Juu-chan wants 10 kisses by the way!
Bakura: *kisses Juu-chan 10 times*
Ryou: How sweet
Bakura: *glare*
Ryou: ^^;;;;;;;;
Nuriko: Oh yeah, messages to reviewers!!!
B-chan~ Thanks for the suggestions. I understand that everything is kinda fast paced but I didn't want to make the story too long because once school starts it'll be harder for me to update. There's still a lot more to come though. As for Joey I have no doubt that he would be mad but I think he might try harder to be nice because Serenity is his only sister. Then again all the characters are kinda OC ^^ But thank you for reading and I hope to hear more suggestions from you in the future!
The Ultimate Masta~ Thank you for the review and I understand that I need to bear with the flames but if people do flame me I wish they would say more than "Bad Story". I'd appreciate suggestions more, to make it better. But thank you for the review and your advice!
All Reviewers: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
