Bridesmaid


Chapter Two


Seeing Through


Tea smiled at Yami when he walked out from the changing room.

"Oh this tuxedo looks great on you, Yami!" Tea exclaimed and winked at Seto to see if he was ok with it, but Seto looked away.

"Umm, thanks." Yami smiled back and blushed.

"Ahem." Seto cleared his throat impatiently. "When will your bridesmaid come, Tea? I don't have for things like this right now."

"I think she'll be here any second." Tea answered.

Yami looked at them. He was angry. "What do you mean you don't have time for things like this?! It's for your wedding! Seto Kaiba, you listen, and listen clearly, I-"

Seto glared at Yami and he interrupted him. "You listen, Yami. I said I don't have time means I don't have time. Why the hell you are here and tell me what to do?"

Yami was about to argue on, but the doorbell rang. Tea smiled nervously and tried to separate them from arguing. "Serenity is here! I'll get the door! Why don't you guys prepare to meet the best bridesmaid in the world?"

Seto looked away. He crossed his arms and sat on the couch away from Yami. Yami glared at Seto and stood against the wall and looked out the window. They heard Tea's talking and greetings to Serenity. Then, Seto heard a very quiet and cheerful voice.

Serenity walked into the room and stopped between Yami and Seto. She smiled nervously at them, "hi everyone."

"Hi Serenity!" Yami smiled back and took over her luggage. Seto looked up and saw Serenity. He raised one corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Why don't we just get this over with now? Jack will show you your room by way." He looked at Serenity again and her long red hair attracted his cold blue eyes. He blinked and looked away. Nobody saw Kayla's face, but heaven knew that he blushed. (Aww...)

"Are you busy, Mr. Kaiba?" Serenity asked politely and smiled curiously.

"Now we are talking about understanding." Kaiba turned around and glared at Yami. "Yes, I am very busy, and they've been bugged me for hours! Listen, why don't you try on the dress and I can get to my work."

"Ok, I'll try it on right now." Serenity smiled and a little embarrassed, "if you are really busy, Mr. Kaiba, why don't you just go and do your work? It's ok since I'm here now, I'll help Tea prepare the wedding."

"Hmm." Kaiba was surprised to hear that. //she sounds not annoying at all. I hope she's the one I'm going to marry but not the annoying Tea.// but again immediately, Kaiba blushed at his thought. "I can wait for 30 more minutes, and call me Kaiba." //what was I thinking just now? Am I losing my mind? Marriage, what a pathetic thing!//

Serenity nodded and went into the changing room with Tea. Now, only Yami and Kaiba left in the room. Yami looked at Kaiba in amazement. Kaiba glared at Yami, "quit staring at me like that."

"Well, I was wondering." Yami said in a teasing voice. "Why are you so patient to Serenity but not Tea? After all, I mean Tea is your future wife."

Kaiba gave Yami an angry look. "Why don't you just stay in your little corner and enjoy your luck for being my best man?"

"Listen Kaiba! If it's not because of Tea, I never want to step into this house!" Yami yelled.

"Well, nobody forced you to stay anyway."

Tea ran out from the changing room and stared at them. "Jeeze, why can't you guys just be friends for a while? Serenity just got on the dress!"

At this time, Serenity walked out from the changing room with the bridesmaid dress. It was a long silky white formal dress. The dress showed Serenity's beautiful bare shoulders. With violet roses on the edge of the white dress, she looked like a newborn baby: simple and pure, a really pretty innocent girl without the heavy makeup, lovely beauty.

Tea smiled and started talking, "isn't she pretty? Yami? Come over here! Stand with her! I bet you two will look soooo good together!" Yami walked toward where Serenity stood.

However, Seto didn't hear a thing Tea say. In fact, Tea was too busy talking that she didn't see how Seto just stands there and looks at Serenity. She was different; she was so pure looking, so quite and so considerate. Kaiba was speechless. He just stood there, nothing really mattered. Tea's talking, Yami's laughing, everything faded. She was like a fire that melting the icy way toward Kaiba. Melting, melting...


Serenity looked up as she laughed. She accidentally saw Kaiba. He just stood there and looked at the ground, like he was lost in his own deep thoughts. His brown hair covered half of his eyes. But nothing could hide the blueness in his big eye, so pure, so lost, so deep, and so sad. Serenity blushed. //why am I blushing? Weird...//

Seto looked up and saw Serenity staring at him, he looked away and blushed lightly. He stood there uncomfortable and trying to get the whole thing over with so he can stay alone...

"Seto! What do you think?" Tea turned her head and asked happily. But then she saw how Serenity and Seto looked at each other. She stood there and stopped laughing. And suddenly the room became so quiet. Everyone stood in an awkward moment. Then, Seto shrugged, "nothing ugly, I'm ok with it. I have to go now."

"Oh, ok, Kaiba. Umm, see ya." Serenity answered and suddenly realized that she shouldn't spoke, at least not the first one to answer that. She looked over at Tea, a stun; Tea was the one who supposed to say that...

Kaiba stared back at Serenity and walked away.

"I'm going to change back." Serenity said walked away hurriedly. She breathed hard and hoped that nothing actually happened. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato.

Tea looked a little pale. She forced a smile to Yami and said quietly, "Why don't you change too? I'll go and get some drinks for us." Yami nodded worriedly. Tea stood there quietly. Without any thoughts, how Seto and Serenity looked at each other went through her head over and over again. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. //don't be ridiculous, Tea! She's your bridesmaid!//

..........................................

Jack led the way to Serenity's room. He was like a servant in the Kaiba family.

"This is your room, Miss Wheeler."

Serenity walked into the room and was really surprised. She looked around the big fancy room. "This is beautiful." She said excitedly.

"By the way," Jack added. "Mr. Kaiba's room is across the hall. So if I may say, if you like loud sound, well, like Miss Gardner (Tea) does, please don't be too loud, Mr. Kaiba hates loud sounds and noises."

"Oh, I see." Serenity smiled. "I will remember that, thank you."

"Thank you, Miss."

...................................................

It was the first night in Kaiba's mansion for Serenity. It was midnight, and Serenity was woken up by a rush thirst. She groaned and got up to find some water, but she couldn't find any water in the room. //maybe they forgot to put a water bottle in the room.// Serenity sighed and decided to go out and find some water herself. Her thirst was killing her.

Serenity walked down the stairs carefully. She didn't want to wake up anyone. After all, it was midnight!

She searched somewhere and found some water. As she walked back with a glass of water, she popped into someone...
