Chapter Five- When it rains it pours
Wait!! Disclaimer: Introspective mortal does not own YGO... :'(
"NOTHING HAPPENED EH?! HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?""Joey, nani"?I gazed up at the magazine, and paled. I gulped and racked my brain for a reasonable explanation to why I was there, on the front cover of a glossy magazine, sharing a passionate kiss with Seto Kaiba! "SERENITY!! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!"Just then a blonde appeared beside him yawning. "MAI?! What are you doing here?"
"Oh. Serenity.. morning. I was watching movies and I guess we lost track of the time.."
I smirked. "So I'm guessing you woke up together didn't you?"
"Well yea, but nothing happened."
"I see."
Joey was now sitting in the corner, making circles in the carpet with his index finger.
My shadow loomed over him and I beamed.
"So Joey, you and Mai were up all night watching movies alone until it was so late you guys fell asleep?"
He chose not to reply. My smirk widened.
"Hey Serenity what's this?" Mai had picked up the magazine Joey dropped in his hurry to hide in the corner.
"Whoa, is this you lip locking with Kaiba himself?"
"I umm..I... I.."
The old Joey was back in a flash. He grabbed the magazine from her hands and proceeded to shredding it up into a million pieces.
"How could you Serenity? How? You lied to me. Told me there was nothing going on. My baby sister kissing KAIBA!! KAIBA!! I"ll curse that name till the day I die."
"Wheeler! Calm down. Serenity is a big girl now, she can take care of herself and kiss who she wants to kiss. What if she saw us last night and had a freak fe-" Mai paled realizing what she had just said.
The smirk returned to my face once more.
"Last night? Last night? What happened last night big brother? You wouldn't be keeping secrets from me would you?"
"That's none of your business Serenity. And now that you mention it yes I do like Mai. I'm telling you I like her. Now fill me in on Kaiba. Did he force himself on you? Did he? That bastard will pay!!!" he snarled and his ears were blowing out steam.
"Joey, I did it to save him. A lot of girls were begging him to dance and he looked rather uncomfortable." That much was true at least, I left out the part with the red head and my jealousy attack.
"Ser-" Mai cut him off. She put a finger to his lips and said "Me and Serenity have some shopping and catching up to do. Why don't you call Tristian, Serenity will help me get ready."
Mai took a very short amount of time to get ready. I figure she rushed the job just to get out of the house. When she started the car I could already hear the smashing of plates and the out raged screams of the drama king that is my brother.
"Mai."
"Hmmm"
"Where are we going?"
"Just driving. I figured he'd need some time to calm down."
Well it would have been a good plan if, IF Seto hadn't came by to the house fifteen minutes later. Apparently he wanted me to do some paperwork over the weekend. Mai hadn't taken me home till 25 minutes after. Lets just say when Joey had to spend ten minutes alone with Seto Kaiba, it was ten minutes to many. He was already gone by the time I got there but I could smell his scent lingering in the house. Joey had masking tape over his mouth and his arms and legs were bound together with rope. A dog collar adorned his neck attached to a leash which was attached to a chair. A large folder was left on the coffee table. Mai rushed to free Joey while I read a note he had left for me.
Wheeler,
I tied up your dog for you.
Have this folder done by Monday
Kaiba
Well I stayed with my brother for the rest of the day. He continued to rant on and on, breaking things every now and then. As a precaution, I found anything remotely sharp and hid them in a locked cupboard.Yugi and Ryou had come to save me and their yami's tagged along. Yugi and his Yami went for a quick little walk because Yugi was getting a headache. (A/N: In this story all the darks/yami w/e hv their own bodies.) I raised my eyebrows. Something was definetly up with those two.Any ways, Ryou tried to comfort Joey the best he could but Yami Bakura had, had enough. He had actually started to strangle him with his hands until Joey was blue in the face. He only stopped when he noticed Ryou was on his back pulling his hair and screaming for him to stop. Some time along this process Ryou was begging him to stop but because he ignored him so the shy, white haired boy poked and prodded him which wasn't getting any attention. Well eventually he climbed up his back and grabbed fistfuls of his hair and started bawling at him. It was the most fun I had all day. Yugi and Yami choose this precise moment to walk back in and well.. you know how Yami and Yami Bakura don't like each other. Well Yami couldn't stop smirking and Yami Bakura was getting pretty pissed so they all left leaving me at home.. alone with Joey.
Joey being Joey started ranting again once he downed some water and caught his breath.
"Enough!" I shouted surprising myself. "I've had enough of this Joey. I get it! I don't like the fact that I have to spend another five weeks with him but this was all your fault to begin with. So please let me get some peace around here so I can finish this work."
"Serenity I'm sorry I put you in this position but when I find him in your bed and you guys kissing on magazine covers I just explode. He has no right being that close to you. I think you should sue him for sexual harassment."
My jaw dropped. "NANI?! [what]
"Well I'm guessing you didn't invite him to your bed!"
"Well no, no I didn't, but it's not like he tried anything."
"Yet."
"Joey.. your being impossible," I groaned.
"I'm being impossible?! I'm being impossible?! Blah blah blah blah blah."
I tuned him out for a while but when he realized I wasn't listening he flipped through the pages of the phone book looking for a good lawyer.
"Joey stop it right now!" I screamed. "Your driving me insane. If you don't cut it out then I swear I'll go back to the Kaiba mansion right now!!"
"What and continue to be Kaiba's whore? Serve him day and night. Let him take whatever he wants from you? Allow him to treat you like a dog?" Joey spat out hatefully.
"He sure treats me a lot better than you do!" I retorted. "If you don't want him to treat you like a dog you should stop acting like one!" I regreted it imedietly but he had no right talking to me like that.
He stormed out of the room. I was beyond pissed.
I retreated to my room and grabbed everything I had brought back home. There was no way in hell I was coming back until after the next five weeks were over. My bags weren't heavy, most of my stuff was still over at the mansion. It was way to late to call a cab. So I walked, I needed to walk off most of my anger anyway. It started to rain not to long after I left. I didn't care. My anger was still flaring, I doubt even the rapists that worked the town during the nights would mess with me. I was glad Seto had actually given me a key. I left my stuff at the entrance, I figured it could sit there till morning. I ran upstairs and plopped onto my bed, feeling more angry then regretful. A tear flowed down my face, followed by another and another. Four.. five.. six.. no use counting them, the flowed freely now. Until I was nearly hysterical.
Seto's Pov
Damn rain. I walked up the stone steps and tried my key, to my surprise the door was unlocked. Which baka [idiot/stupid/fool] had left the door unlocked? The house was pitch black, that was to be expected but what I didn't expect to find was luggage sprawled out everywhere. Yep, you guessed it, I tripped I fell, I cursed. Shimatta! [shit] A familiar scent arose, was it Wheeler's? What was she doing back, I wasn't expecting her till Monday. I started to rub my sore ass, who did she think she was leaving her crap all over. I walked over to her room ready to give her a piece of my mind. Maybe a pay cut was in order. I pushed open the door.
""WHEELE-" I stopped dead in my tracks. She was crying into her pillow, her hair was soaked and her clothes were so damp and wet they clung to her body. I went into her bathroom and got her a towel for her hair. I offered it to her but instead her arms flung around me and she was now sobbing into my chest. I awkwardly stroked her back, compassion wasn't exactly one of my strong points. I started to hush her in my softest tone. When she started to quiet down a bit I walked over to her closet and pulled out some soft clothes. I tossed them at her and she nodded and walked into the bathroom. I went to the kitchen and got one of the maid to make her some tea when I returned she was sitting on her bed drying her hair with a towel and sniffing lightly every once in a while hiccuping. I handed her the tea and she gave me a small smile. Just holding her felt so... right.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
"It's Joey... we had a fight. I started yelling and said some things I didn't mean. Now I'm afraid he hates me. He's done so much for me and I can't even do this one little thing for him." she paused and took a deep drink from the mug.
"I'm sure things will work out for you guys. They always seem to."
"Seto, it's not that I'm not grateful for all your kindness to me because I really am. It's just, why are you being so nice to me."
"Gee, I don't know. Now that I think about it, crying girls should be locked in rooms without food or water until they hush up," I retorted my voice dripping with sarcasm."
"Seto Kaiba, your definitely something else," she declared. She pulled the covers over her body. "I'm kinda sleepy now."
"Night," I muttered gruffly.
I turned to walk away but then a roar of thunder was heard followed by a flash of lightning. The lights went off. The electric line must have been cut.
"Seto," she managed to squeak out.
"What is it now?" my patience was wearing out and I was drained of my energy.
"I-I don't like thunderstorms, I know it's a lot of trouble but could you please stay with me?"
I sighed and muttered fine under my breath.
I rummaged around her drawers for a bit, I knew I left supplies in every room. I grabbed a flash light and flicked it on. I was almost out the door when she jumped on me.
"Wait! Where are you going? You said you'd stay with me!"
"I'm going for supplies. I think you'll be fine for ten minutes by yourself."
"NoooOOO you have to take me with you." she tightened her grip on me.
"Wheeler." I said my tone rising.
She just closed her eyes and gripped me harder.
"Stubborn," I muttered.
"Look whose talking," she retorted.
I pulled her off my back and pretend to throw her, swinging her just for kicks.
"Hey what are you doing," she shrieked. I laughed out loud.
"Jerk!" she muttered but she clung onto me all the same.
So there we were walking down the halls of my mansion, I was laughing. Laughing. Kami...[god] I can't remember the last time I had a genuine laugh. What was she doing to me?! And giving Serenity Wheeler a piggy back ride? I finally got to my room and grabbed a pillow and some blankets. Then walking over to my supply cabinet, I grabbed candles and matches. I placed one of the long stemmed candles in a brass holder and lit it.
"Make yourself useful and carry this."
She nodded. A crash of lightning illuminated the sky outside my window. She squealed and nearly dropped the thing.
"Pathetic," I muttered.
We retreated back to her room, this time she was huddled in blankets following me closely. She shivered under the blankets. We finally reached her room, and I lit up a few more candles. I should have kicked her off the bed but instead I made a comfortable pile on the floor next to her. My eyes drooped, I barely get any sleep so I almost always fall right to sleep. She too, started to fall into a comfortable slumber but then more thunder sounded and more lightning crackled. She jumped on me, startling me. I opened my eyes to see azure ones large as ever staring back at me.
OOMPH
"Hey, your heavy get off!"
She choose to ignore that last comment. Serenity reached up for her pillows and blankets and curled up next to me.
"Don't get the wrong idea," she said quickly. "I just can't stand storms."
"Nuisance," I yawned and we fell asleep.
It's human nature to find a warm heat source when your sleeping. So you can imagine how we ending up in the morning. She was breathing softly content in my arms, and my arms were folded on her waist taking in the warmth of her body. It was still raining, only lightly now, gentle tatterings against the window pains. We both stirred, reluctant to get up. She opened her eyes and smiled at me before closing them. I was already slightly awake. I could tell she was still half asleep. She opened her eyes again and stared once more at me. I stared back at her, her shirt was kind of big on her so the neckline had slipped a bit. I immedietly turned away but it was to late. She followed my gaze only to realize her shirt was slightly ajar. Her reaction wasn't pleasant.
"HENTAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" [pervert] she screamed before punching my nose and pulling up the blankets.
"Ooops," feel out of her mouth before she turned away, cheeks flushed eyes not daring to meet mine.
A/N: Okay done another chapter. That means week one of six is finally done. The next chapters will be longer and more detailed because I don't think I can cover every week in parts. Well I hope you like it because I'm officially brain dead and I'm all out of ideas to torture the two of them.
Oh and one of my reviewers pointed out that Japanese schools get out in April. Well in Canada and America it's different so I didn't know. You guys can let me know which one you want in your reviews and majority can rule. Enjoy!
