Normal Pov

"Owwwwwwwwww," Seto groaned, rubbing his nose.

"Gomen nasi [sorry] does your nose hurt?" Serenity replied looking mortified.

"No, I'm holding my nose because I have chest pains! Of course my nose hurts!" he shot back at her.

Serenity leaned it and gave him a quick kiss on the nose which instantly dazed him. She pulled away and headed towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to shower now, feel better Kay." She gave him a cheerful smile and shut the bathroom door.

'Get a grip, she's just a Wheeler, nothing more,' he thought clenching his teeth. He walked down to the familiar hallways until he reached his own room. His pace quickened and in mere moments he broke out into a run for the desired destination. His own room, his own shower and a much needed cold shower. Not long after he finished his shower, he retreated back into his room with a pale blue towel dangling from his waist.

There was a soft knocking on the door, the brass knob turned and in popped Serenity.

She blushed and quickly turned away. The image of Seto Kaiba wearing nothing but a towel, his body dripping with trickles of water and that brown hair soaked. To be honest just thinking about it quickened her heart beat. She closed her eyes and tried to get these images out while trying to slow down her heart rate.

"What do you want?" he snapped coldly.

"I refuse to talk to a naked man. I'll come back in a few minutes when your dressed." 'and to get a grip on myself,' she added silently.

She left slamming the door slightly, she rested on the walls outside his room, clutching her heart. Beads of sweat now glistened on her pale skin. 'What's wrong with me.' she wondered.

Inside the room, Seto was changing into a business suit. He had a business lunch and he intended to take her with him. Who did she think she was barging into his room unannounced. Secretly, he rather liked the prospect of her seeing him in his towel less state. 'The hell is wrong with me?'

A few moments later, a knock sounded across the oak door and it swung open to reveal Serenity Wheeler, who now looked full of confidence.

"Change your outfit."

"Excuse me?"

"Change your outfit," he repeated, exaggerating the impatience in his voice.

"Since when do you care what I wear," was her heated response. She gazed down at her pink blouse and worn blue jeans. His gaze followed hers but she caught him in time. 'Was he checking me out?' she shook these thoughts out of her head.

"What are you staring at?" she shot at him.

"Your outfit, it's not even fit for the maids who clean my toilet bowls. "Change," he insisted.

"Give me one good reason why?"

"We're going out to lunch. I'd rather not be scene with a girl who looks like a street beggar."

"You've got to be kidding me. Your taking me out to lunch. No seriously, YOU?!"

"Please, I wouldn't give you the time of day. It's a business lunch. Your there to take notes. And by the way, close your mouth when you chew, you look like a cow knawing on hay."

"Shut up!" she retorted before leaving the room.

Fifteen minutes later she came down the stairs which got some stares from Kaiba. A simple silk blouse, covered by a classy black leather jacket adorned her shapely body. A long black skirt flowed down her pale legs which were covered with high heeled leather boots. Her hair flowed freely down to her waist, resembling a chocolatey waterfall.

"What's the matter Kaiba, you look like a fish," she laughed at the remark and watched his face carefully to study his expression.

He simply gave her the infamous glare and mentally kicked himself. 'Damn her.' He knew the truth. He had been checking her out and she had caught him.

They had driven in sunny weather. The skies had cleared up and any evidence that a storm had been here had disappeared. The ride there was quiet but, that was to be expected. Serenity had expected a high class dinner at some really pricy restaurant. Instead the driver took them passed the gates of a huge grassy area. The car stopped at a metal gate, several boys dressed in uniform led them in. There were angels fountains that spewed up water. And almost 3/4 of the grassy area had been decorated with blossoming flowers. She gazed around the lovely scenery, her eyes twinkling with merriment. It took her a full minute before she glanced up ahead and saw Seto walking down the brick path without her.

She quickened her pace and caught up with him.

"Hey! Why did you leave without me."

"It was your own fault."

The quickly followed the path that led them to large picnic tables. Business men were chatting away on their cell phones, or shaking hands with one another exchanging greetings. The wives of these men were gossiping away, glancing at each others outfits and jewelry. The teenage girls were flirting with the boys and the boys were simply looking smug. The not so attractive ones were desperately hoping for some attention and were feebly offering glasses of punch.

Serenity closely followed Seto around while he talked business with some of the men. Standing by him, smiling and trying not to look out of place. Already she had gotten glances from the boys and death glares from the girls. A few of the men looked smugly at her and winked and nudged each other. The patted Seto on the back and gave him words of encouragement. He simply gave them a 'get the hell away from me' glare and they backed off. She waited patiently for the day to be over, nibbling at her lunch. She propped her elbows on the table, a dreaming far out look in her eyes.

A young women poked at her telling her the games were about to begin. The games were three legged races, and blindfolding games and such.

"Ah.. Wheeler," Seto sneered at her. "Your partner for the day will be Lenny," he pointed out a rather unattractive young man. He was in his teen years, his face was cover with acne and he had a runny nose. He was inches shorter then herself but she merely shrugged it off. Seto had run off with a blonde who found everything he said to be hysterically funny.

'He's suffering more then I am,' she thought giving him an amused look.

If she had been any other girl, they would have been miserable. But Serenity was not one who judge based on their looks. She had a fine time with Lenny although, he seemed to be over anxious to please her. The games had gone on till the sun was beginning to set. The cooks had already begun preparation for dinner. It was very clear that Seto had abandoned her. She gave Lenny a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for being my partner. But I really should find my boss now." She left giving him a smile and a friendly wave.

He stood there, awed staring at this angel, touching his cheek gingerly where she had kissed him.

Seto had scene the whole thing. A wave of jealousy shook him up.

"Excuse me," he muttered to the blonde dangling off his arm. She had been in the middle of a story and it was clear that he hadn't heard a word. Before she knew it he was off in pursuit of HIS Serenity. He had already lost sight of her.

Serenity was hiding among the tress, trying to remain inconspicuous to the rest of the party. A handsome young man approached her. He was in his early twenties.

"What's a girl like you doing out here all by yourself," he inquired kindly.

"Oh nothing, just killing some time," was her friendly response.

He offered her a glass of punch and sat down beside her. His eyes glinted maliciously.

"Arigatou." she took a small sip, followed by another and another. She nearly downed the whole glass before she started to feel dizzy.

The young boy waited a few more moments before he took her into his arms. He kissed her roughly and started to unbutton her blouse. She vainly tried to push him away.

"Stop I-" she screamed.

He pushed his mouth on hers, and pinned her arms and legs on the ground.

'I won't cry, I won't cry.'

He had almost finished tearing apart her blouse when he suddenly fell off her. She tried to sit up but fell back down. Her vision was clouded 'am I going blind again?'

Unknown to her, Seto Kaiba was standing above her, his blue eyes burning with hatred. He had kicked him in the stomach but he wasn't quite finished yet. After a few quick punches and a blow to the head, he still seemed unsatisfied. He would have done much worse but he was worried for her sake. He took off his coat and bundled the nearly topless girl in it. He paused for a minute, put her down and went back to the boy. He plead for mercy but Seto knew better. He grabbed him by the hair and rammed his knee into his gut. Now he grabbed him by the collar of the coat and smacked him with his hands.

"Don't you ever touch her again!" he spat out.

Giving him a final kick that caused the boy to fly into the trees, Kaiba went back to her.

"Serenity!"

"MMMmmmm," was her slurred response.

He scooped her up and carried her off muttering "baka" underneath his breath.

He walked passed the party and when people stopped to ask him he only replied "I'm leaving now goodbye." The old dirty business men only winked and laughed among themselves. Seto now called his chauffeur from his cell phone. He waited at the front gate holding the drugged girl gingerly in his hand. The car pulled up not to long after and he got in and pulled the girls sleeping form in the car. He placed her head in his lab and absent mindedly stroked her hair.

Serenity's Pov

She had woken up to a pitch black room.

'How did I get back here?' I wondered. I reached for the lamp that sat next to my bed but I had grasped thin air. I felt my way around till I found the light switch. Well more like a light dimmer. I glanced around the room it was so familiar, my eyes stopped and I gazed over at the sleeping form of Seto Kaiba sleeping on the couch. I smiled and went to him, pulling up the covers of his blankets, his face was looked so angry. As I pulled the covers up the sleeves of a long blue trench coat quickly dangled over my arms. This was... I glanced back down to him. 'What happened here?' I pondered over it for a few minutes before it all came back to me. The punch the drink... I was so stupid, he warned me not to take strange drinks. My body went numb, I froze thinking about all the things that might have happened to my body. Exactly how far did this guy go before Seto rescued me? I sunk slowly onto the floor and collapsed on my knees. I buried my face in my arms. I started to cry. My sobs were getting louder and I was getting more and more hysterical. Why? Why had this happened? I was stupid that's why...

Normal Pov

He reached over to pat her back as a source of comfort.

"Get away!" she shrieked! Jerking away from him. Startled eyes gazed up at him.

"Gomen.. gomen" she choked through her sobs.

"Serenity," he said in a hushed voice. "Don't worry, I took care of him. He won't bother you anymore."

"D-Did you k-kill him?" she asked.

"No, but I should have. Don't worry though, I stopped him before to much damage was done. You still have your innocence."

Her sniffling quieted down considerably but she was still hysterical and upset.

He called up the cooks to bake up a storm. 'girls eat when their upset right?' he thought to himself.

"It's all my fault. You warned me about drinks. You did and I took it anyway."

"No it's not your fault. I shouldn't have left you. I was stupid. I wanted to be with you anyway."

There was silence for a few moments before Serenity realized what he had just said.

"Wait what did you say?"

"I said I was stupid and it's not your fault."

"No after that."

"I said nothing."

"You did."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Fine you didn't."

"I'm sorry for everything. I've caused you so much trouble since I got here."

"It's all right. It's sort of my fault we're in this position anyway."

"You mean me in your arms?" she teased.

"I-I... er shut up!"

Serenity smirked. It's not every day you could see Seto Kaiba blushing furiously.

There was a knock on the door and several maids brought up platters of desserts.

Serenity gazed up, her face brightened up and her old smile returned some what.

"For me?" she asked?

"Nope it's all mine."

He proceeded to eating the little cakes while she watched pouting. Every time she reached for something he'd smack her hand away.

"If you want something you'll have to earn it."

"Earn it how?"

"Feed me."

"Nani?"

"You heard me."

Glaring at him, she picked up a cake and he munched on it. After a few more cup cakes and treats she grinned to herself. She smushed the cupcake all over his cheeks and put a little cherry on top of his nose.

"Hey!" he yelled in protest.

Seto grabbed as many cakes as he could hold and chucked them at her one by one, his aim was perfect and each cupcake was a direct hit. She fought back by dumping a pot of tea on his head. He reached out for her waist and started attacking her sides.

"S-Stop it," she managed to choke out through her laughter.

"I give, I give."

"Say Seto Kaiba is the greatest duelist in the world."

She closed her eyes and one of them opened slightly. Almost shuddering she said "Seto Kaiba is the worlds greatest duelist."

More than satisfied he smirked at that comment. The just gazed at each other and impulsively he grabbed at her and kissed her deeply. He could feel her soft petal lips against his and his mouth demanded more. She responded in a more than willing way. Opening her mouth she had decided to let him have his way. The passionate kiss was way beyond reason, it went on for a little while longer, until they broke away panting. Quick as anything she grabbed his shirt collar and licked at his cheek. She suddenly broke apart as if she hadn't realized what she had done. When he looked at her all she said was

"What? You ate all my desserts!"

"I'm glad your feeling better."

"Sorry I ruined your coat. Or wait I'm sorry you ruined your coat." She giggled and handed him his blue trench coat.

He frowned at this.

"I'm going to wash this off. Good night Seto," she whispered softly.

"Good night Serenity."

She showered and quickly changed into a night shirt and boxers. Tomorrow morning would be business as usual. She fell off into a happy sleep and dreamed about her savior.

*dream sequence*

The church bells rang happily as she walked down the aisle in a snow white dress. She had finally gotten to the alter to meet her soon to be husband. (Can you guess who it is?) The two of them exchanged vows and laughed happily along with the other. Just as they were getting to the I do's Joey suddenly burst through the church doors.

"Serenity how could you?"

His voiced echoed through her mind and she woke up to the sound of her beeping alarm clock.

'What was that all about.'

The work day went by fast. She popped into Seto's office around lunch time. He didn't exactly tell her to leave but he implied that she was a disturbance. Which would have been normal for Seto. Monday passed through as did Tuesday and Wednesday. The days flew by and he began to avoid her. He made sure he didn't make eye contact and gave one worded replies to all her questions.

Even though he was only there when she need comfort, she thought their relationship had gone beyond this. He thought she cared for her. He should care for her!

Tears leaked through her azure eyes slowly dripping across her cheeks. It didn't take her long until she realized she had fallen in love with him. She was in it way to deep, she couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how hard she had tried. This whole time she had deceived herself and now there was no way out. She loved him and there was no way he could like her back.

'I should tell him' she thought. 'He hasn't rejected me yet, perhaps theirs still hope. Maybe he's just been really busy.' Her heart pounded as she yanked the door to his office open.

He looked up from his computer screen.

He stared at her giving her the impatient looked that plainly had the message 'what'.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

He just glared at her and was about to start working again but then she whispered something inaudible.

"What?" he puzzled.

"I-I.."

"Speed it up Wheeler."

"I...You..." she choked out.

"......"

"AISHITERU!!!"

Even though she screamed it out he could barely make out what she said when he had, she had already run out of the room.
He stared up at her, his blue eyes larger than ever. He glanced back at her but she was gone. The door stood ajar and she was gone.
