"Serenity, it's time for you to go." Said Seto as he took Serenity's hand
and led her out the door.
"Go where?"
"Your going to get one last surgery, this will determine if you will be able to see again."
"So if it isn't successful, I'll never be able to see again?" Serenity asked.
"Yes.I'm afraid so. But don't give up on yourself, you will be able to see again! There's a whole world waiting for you out there! Just think about it, you'll be able to see your brother again soon."
"But what if it fails?"
"It won't! It will only fail if you have negative thoughts on it!"
At the hospital.
"I have to leave now Serenity, I'll be back once the surgery's over."
"Don't leave me, please." Serenity begged.
"I have to, I have to go tell your brother that you're safe."
"Will you come back?"
"Of course I will, how can I not come back knowing you're still here?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Thank you for being the closest person I have in my life right now. Thank you."
"See you later, I wish to those beautiful eyes of yours when I get back."
Serenity blushed. "Come back soon!"
Back in Japan.
"Alright Kaiba, where's my sister!?" Joey yelled.
"You're pretty smart to know that I'm behind her disappearance. She's all alone in a hospital, in the US."
"What!?"
"You heard me! She's in a hospital in the US right now."
"Take me to her!" Joey demanded.
"Why should I? Serenity said it herself, that I'm the closest person to her right now, not you!"
"You liar! She would never say something like that!"
"Believe what you want." With that, Seto left.
Mai's Place.
Joey had told her about what happened earlier with him and Kaiba.
"Well, you don't actually believe him, do you?" asked Mai.
"No of course not! Why would I?" Joey snapped back.
"Ok, then why are you panicking so much?"
"I'm not panicking, how did you see me panicking?" Joey wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his shirtsleeve.
"Right." Mai said sarcastically.
"Alright, fine, I am worried, my sister is all alone if the US! You have to cross oceans and seas to get there! Who knows what Kaiba could have done to her when no one was around? She might not even be alive right now! And.!"
"Stop it Joey, how can you say things like that? You know that they can't be true. Your sister is going to alright."
"You're right, I can't be saying stuff like this.but than again, I can't stop thinking about it! Oh, I'm so confused!" Joey screamed.
"Calm down!"
"Alright, I'll try."
US Hospital.
"Miss Wheeler, you have a visitor, should I let him in?" Asked the nurse that was taking care of her.
"Who is it?"
"He said that his name was Seto Kaiba, I think."
"Ok, let him in."
Seto walked into Serenity's room in the hospital. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Fine. Did you see my brother when went back?"
"Yeah, he quite upset when he knew it was me that took you away. You wanna talk to him? I can set up a long distance call."
"Sure!"
Seto got out his phone and dialled in a bunch of numbers. "Here."
"Hi, brother!"
"Serenity! Is it really you?" Joey questioned happily, not believing that it was actually her.
"Yes, Joey, how are you?"
"I'm great! I wanted to tell you something, I have the money needed for the original eye operation that you were to get before you lost your eyesight, but I came in a day too late. I'm sorry about letting you down. I made a promise to you that I'd always be there for you no matter what. Some kinda big brother I am?"
"Joey forget about, I'll be able to see you soon again, just wait for me ok?"
"Is it true that you told Kaiba that he was the closest person to you?"
"Well, yes but, he was the only person here."
"I've heard enough, just watch out for him though, he can be cold and heartless when he wants to be. Take care sis, I hope to see you soon."
"Finished?" Seto asked.
Serenity nodded.
Just than the nurse came in. "Serenity can remove the bandages from her eyes now."
"So, the time's finally come eh?" Seto asked.
"Seto, would leave me if I still don't have my sight back?"
"I'll never leave you, no matter how you are." Seto assured.
Serenity slowly took off the bandages and opened her eyes, but...
Well, that 's the end for this chapter, I just love to keep you people guessing! Will Serenity stay blind? (hint, hint - the title of the fic) Till next time!
