Chapter Eight - Kick em wear it hurts and run like hell
Seto's Pov
I pulled her closer to me, she was like a drug I couldn't get enough of. My lips crushed against hers, she tasted so sweet. I slowly begun to nip at her neck but she started to giggle. . Her laughter was like music to my ears, it was like a soft melody, hypnotic even. I gazed at her, she looked back at me with those large azure eyes, they looked alive with merriment. I held her close, not wanting to let go. Waves of emotion passed through my body. Emotion, the word itself was missing from my vocabulary, except for Mokuba I've never even attempted to care for anything, anybody.
Serenity's Pov
He was amazing. My mind was overwhelmed, I was suppose to hate him and here I was just kissing him and kissing him and hmmm. Have you ever had a moment when time just passes you by? This is exactly how I feel. I sighed being content in his arms, hate to say it but he's so damn adorable. This horrid, self centered, arrogant man was completely adorable, not to mention pretty well you know ^0^
I don't know exactly how long it took but eventually we fell asleep. He was gone by morning along with a pile of work. Just as well I am here to work after all. I glanced at the sheets, most of it could be done at home, I wonder why he's always at the office. I changed into some day clothes and went into his office. It was pretty boring stuff, faxing, sending out emails, filing, making phone calls. I continued like this till nearly four in the afternoon, I needed a break plus I hadn't eaten a single thing all day. I went out for a walk and maybe some ice cream.
A little girl was helping out at the ice cream stand. She looked so adorable giving people there cones, her cheeks were smudged with ice cream and her fingers were all sticky. I got one and started to walk back to the mansion. My head was still in the clouds, no matter how sweet he turned he would always be a business man. I gave a small sigh and continued walking until who should trip into me but Tristian. I got up first and offered him my hand. He gratefully accepted.
"Well I should go, I have a lot of work to finish up."
"You can't be serious it's the weekend. That bastard has you working weekends."
I shrugged it off.
"If he didn't need the help so badly, I doubt I'd be in this position."
I started to walk off but he grabbed my wrist.
"Tristian, I'm not joking I have a lot of work to do. We can hang out later."
"No.. I don't think so, we should hang out now."
His grip on me tightened.
"Oww... your hurting me. Let go," I cried out.
"Not until you agree,"
He wasn't joking any more. He forcefully shoved me along. I reached for the pepper spray in my purse and got him in the eye. He screamed and clutched his eyes. I ran like hell.
I didn't stop running until I got back to the mansion. I stuck my key card in to open the door. My hands were shaking so badly it wouldn't work. I calmed myself down before it would open up. My legs gave out and I collapsed on the thresh hold. I went into the kitchen and ran a glass underneath the tap. Beads of sweat poured down my face, since when was Tristian so aggressive? I'd have to be more careful around him, I think the whole stalking has evolved into some sort of weird situation, next time I might not be so lucky. Or maybe I just imagined the whole thing, I shook my head and dropped the whole thing.
I went back into the office and worked feverishly until Seto came back home. The piles of paperwork had diminished by then and when I heard the door close I came to greet him.
"Hey you."
His arms snaked around my waist.
"Hi," he gave me a light kiss and set his briefcase down.
"Business dinner tomorrow night. Your coming?"
I smiled, even though I knew it was a command and not a request I accepted all the same.
"The dress maker will be done by tomorrow. You'll get it before the dinner starts."
I nodded slowly, wondering if I should tell him about Tristian or not.
He frowned.
"Just say it."
"What?"
"You have the same look Mokuba gets when he's trying to give me bad news. Just say it," he repeated.
"Well, today I finished my work at home, and I went out for a break. And, well I ran into Tristian and he kind of wanted to take me somewhere."
He turned away from me "Did you go?"
"No, I pepper sprayed him."
He chuckled after hearing that.
"As much as I hate Yugi's little gang I never thought you would pepper spray a guy for asking you out."
"Well he did more than ask me out."
You know the look some guys get on their faces, where there hair falls over their eyes and there expressions turn dark. Well picture this look on Seto Kaiba, it kind of gives you the impression that you want to, well run. Especially now when you feel like your less than three feet tall and his expression is looming over you.
"What did he do," he hissed.
"Oh well, you know actually now that I think-"
"Serenity!" his voice meant business.
His cell phone started to ring but he didn't bother with it. I stood their staring at my shoes and the ringing was getting so loud he threw the thing at the wall.
"I'm waiting."
"He grabbed me and he tried to take me somewhere, but I pepper sprayed him. He wouldn't take no for an answer."
"I'll take care of him."
"Wait what exactly are you going to do."
"None of your concern." he started walk out the room.
"Seto, don't," I warned.
He didn't listen he just kept walking.
*****
I was awakened in the morning by the beeping of my cell phone. It was Joey.
"What is it Joey."
"SERENITY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BASTARD DID TO TRISTIAN?"
I shot up from the bed, and groaned. I closed my eyes.
"What?" I whispered, dreading the answer.
"He beat him up, he's bleeding pretty badly. Me and Yugi found him tied up to the basketball nets when we were going for an early game. His jaw is dislocated and his breathing patterns are slightly irregular. They fixed him up and he'll be released from the hospital this afternoon. That fucked up jerk!
"Joey, it was my fault."
"Serenity, you can't take the fall for him. What did Tristian do to deserve this huh? Did he look at you funny? Kaiba has to learn to control his temper."
"Honest, I stayed up till midnight watching the doors. I don't know how he got out, I tried to prevent this," I wailed into the receiver.
"Whatever, just keep an eye on him. And if he dares hurt you, just say the word and BAM."
"Thanks Joey, but I should go, you know lots of work to be done."
"Bye sis."
"Ja Ne."
I hung up and got dressed. It was only seven but Seto most likely left for work already. I glanced around for any work he might have left me. There was nothing, so I called a car and headed down to Kaiba Corp.
I stormed into his office. He seemed to be expecting this.
"How could you?!"
"He tried to kidnap you."
"But he didn't, and I doubt he would have tried it again. He's in the hospital! The hospital. I know your looking out for my best interests but you don't send guys to the hospital!"
"He deserved it, that's all. If your going to ask me, yes I enjoyed watching him fall to floor, crying out in pain but that's besides the point. He need to be taught a lesson."
"But sending him to the hospital?!"
"Look, I don't have time for this, your work is on your desk. Get it done."
"Seto!"
"GO!!"
I slammed the door on my way out. Stalker or not, he shouldn't be dealing with people like that. I glanced at my schedule for today, I had to pick up a few things up after work for him. He seemed to freeze everyone out today, that's not normal but I thought he had changed. After I finished with my work, I took a car out to get his stuff. Maybe he had cooled down?
'I'll settle Mr. Kaiba at dinner,' I thought grimly.
I walked out of the car and into the shop, I came out buried in bags. The driver opened the trunk for me. I double checked to see if I had everything and then I realized I left my purse in the shop. I ran back for it, when I came out a hand came out of no where and grabbed me.
"No amount of pepper spray is going to get you out this time."
Normal Pov
Tristian had shoved a cloth drenched in chloroform over my nose. I lost consciousness almost immediately.
Seto's Pov
She was late, women can't be on time for a day in their lives. I glanced out the window, a silver car pulled up to estate and a chubby, balding man quickly ran to the front steps.
'That's the car she usually takes with her.'
Something was definitely up. I pulled open the door, face to face with the driver.
"Where is Miss Wheeler?" I demanded.
"Please sir, I dropped her off at the dry cleaners and she got all your things. She went back to get her purse and the next thing I see she collapses into someone and he picks her up and starts running down the narrow alleys.
My eyes narrowed. "And you let him?"
"I was just waiting for her to come back out, I only saw the last events in the rear view mirror. He had gotten a head start by foot and the car could have never made it through the alleys."
"And that justifies that? If you can't tell me what he looks like you should be on your knees begging for your job."
"Well, I only saw the back of him, he was wearing a brown overcoat and he had spiked hair. He was very tall and he look quite hurt."
'Taylor, pray for your life that I don't kill you with my hands.'
I had a car pull up to his house. I stormed down the cement steps and threw a fist into the wood door. I pulled my hand out revealing a very large gap, with splinters poking out through the sides. I reached in and unlocked the door.
"Taylor! You have ten seconds."
A little post-it fluttered towards the floor. I snatched it up.
Kaiba,
You lose. I win.
She CHOOSE me.
Destroy my whole house I don't care,
you won't find her.
Tristian
I tore up the note. Who was he trying to kid.
'I'll find her, idiots never last to long.'
I started to laugh, he thought he could out smart me, poor, fucked up soul.
Serenity's Pov
I woke up feeling like hell. My wrists were bind together and so were my legs.
He ran his hand through my hair.
"Don't worry, you'll never have to be with Kaiba ever again."
'He'll find me, I know he will.'
"He won't come." he said, as if he could read my thoughts.
"Oh ya, why would that be." I shot at him.
"Because I have detours planned for us, a few friends in every city. We won't stay anywhere longer than a day. We'll constantly be on travel, unless.."
"Unless what."
"Unless I'm making you mine, and rest assured, I most definitely will."
"If there is one thing I can't tolerate in this world, it's horny bastards like you."
(A/N: It keeps going just trying to make a point here.
kay, you know the feeling you get when someone makes fun of your bishies? Well earlier this week this guy made fun of Y Yugi, so I threw my coat onto the floor scrunched up my sleeves and went medieval on his sorry ass. This is basically how Serenity feels like, a hyped up chick with PMS. You know this won't be good for him! Any man who values his *ahem* should know that.)
I let a flood of emotions rush past me, there was no way I was going to let some creepy, stalker boy take me.
I dug out of the ropes with my nails and punched him square in the face. I quickly untied my leg bindings and kicked him square in the nuts. Then I winded him in the stomach with my knee.
Blood dribbled down his mouth while he was wheezing in pain.
I finally took a good look around. We were in a stone dungeon, the only door was made of steel.
"Where's the fucking key to get out of here?"
He rolled over and muttered something incoherently.
I placed one foot on his stomach. They dug into his flesh because I happened to be wearing heels.
"If you value your balls, you'll tell me where the keys are."
His eyes widened. "Oh god no, anything but that!! I'll tell you, I'll tell you, but please get off of me."
I took my foot off.
"The only guy with keys is coming tomorrow morning."
"Wrong answer." I kicked him and retrieved my bindings. There was a fair portion of good rope left so I tied his arms together but there wasn't enough for the legs, so I tied the rest around his mouth.
I didn't sleep at all that night. The temperature had taken a nose dive and I was freezing. Tristian had begun to snore softly. I waited till dawn approached. For once I was glad Joey had watched all those fighting movies. I patiently waited for the person to unlock us, I hadn't slept a wink all night because, well I plain don't trust him. I gave him a kick on the head but he hadn't woken up.
"Figures." Boys could sleep through anything. Well actually, some guys could, others weren't as deranged as he was. I finally heard clanging from the steel door. Someone was unlocking it!
I cautiously pressed myself flat against the wall. The door swung open and a large burly man scanned the room. Obviously confused at my absence. Once he took a few more steps forward, my knee swung forward.
I kneed him in the groin, I didn't wait for a reaction, I just got the hell out of there. I looked back while I was running, oblivious to the second burly man ahead of me. There was something about him. He had started to advance towards me and then I realized.
I pointed behind him.
"Look! There's a very attractive homosexual man."
His head spun around immediately. I took this time to, yea you guessed it. I ran towards him, (this time more like flying) and kicked him in the you know where. Then I stomped on it.
"You know what? It's going to shrink. And it'll be that small, and it'll never, ever get any bigger."
I giggled and ran off, I rushed straight into traffic.
"Shit."
This was definitely not Domino city. I wandered down the early morning streets. None of the shops were open, until I walked into a small bakery.
"Excuse me."
"Yes, may I help you?"
"I'm slightly lost, do you think you could tell me where I am."
The lady sighed at my ignorance.
"Your in down town Tokyo."
"Do you have a phone I could use?"
She pointed to a black one sitting on the counter and started bustling around again.
I dialed the area code first and the lady slammed the phone down.
"Sorry hun, local calls only."
"Please, I'm stranded in this city without any money. I'm calling for a ride, I promise I'll pay you when they get here. It'll take hours and I'll make myself useful."
She sighed. "You do know how to work in a bakery right?"
"When you live with a brother like mine, you either learn how to cook or you starve."
She chuckled to herself, "all right, make your call and then put this on."
She tossed an apron and a hair tie at me.
I dialed Seto's cell.
He didn't pick up, I left a message.
'Kaiba, I'm stranded in Tokyo City. Come pick me up please? Don't be mad. I'll let you beat up Tristian as much as you want to.' I left the bakery number with him, please call back.' I washed my hands and found the lady from before.
"Do you think it's possible if I could work in the back. I'm kind of avoiding someone."
"Sure, you can work the dough, and the icing. There's always plenty of work in the mornings."
I worked for hours, until my back ached.
The lady who hired me this morning, or Beth came into the kitchen.
"A young man just called. He asked for you Serenity. I told him you were working and he asked for our address. I left it with him, he said he's coming to get you."
I smiled, looking extremely relieved.
"Why don't you wash up and wait for him. You've certainly done a lot this morning. More than any of hired help does."
"Arigatou."
I washed my face and brushed my hair. I dusted some of the flour off the clothes I had been wearing since yesterday.
I sat down on the steps outside, my hands holding up my head.
The lady Beth had given me sticky buns to eat. I bit into one.
I closed my eyes for a few seconds when the two men from yesterday loomed over me.
A/N: YA! I made the deadline, I was kind of rushing to finish this chapter cuz I really wanted to post this week. Next weeks MIGHT be late. I have a lot of gay hw and mothers day you know. Anyway, I thought it might be cool if I made it so Serenity could fight, as for her well... "technique" my friend always taught me that if your ever in trouble with guys kick em where the sun don't shine and then run like hell. Hehe.. I'm running out of ideas so suggestions would be nice. R + R folks!

"I'm slightly lost, do you think you could tell me where I am."
The lady sighed at my ignorance.
"Your in down town Tokyo."
"Do you have a phone I could use?"
She pointed to a black one sitting on the counter and started bustling around again.
I dialed the area code first and the lady slammed the phone down.
"Sorry hun, local calls only."
"Please, I'm stranded in this city without any money. I'm calling for a ride, I promise I'll pay you when they get here. It'll take hours and I'll make myself useful."
She sighed. "You do know how to work in a bakery right?"
"When you live with a brother like mine, you either learn how to cook or you starve."
She chuckled to herself, "all right, make your call and then put this on."
She tossed an apron and a hair tie at me.
I dialed Seto's cell.
He didn't pick up, I left a message.
'Kaiba, I'm stranded in Tokyo City. Come pick me up please? Don't be mad. I'll let you beat up Tristian as much as you want to.' I left the bakery number with him, please call back.' I washed my hands and found the lady from before.
"Do you think it's possible if I could work in the back. I'm kind of avoiding someone."
"Sure, you can work the dough, and the icing. There's always plenty of work in the mornings."
I worked for hours, until my back ached.
The lady who hired me this morning, or Beth came into the kitchen.
"A young man just called. He asked for you Serenity. I told him you were working and he asked for our address. I left it with him, he said he's coming to get you."
I smiled, looking extremely relieved.
"Why don't you wash up and wait for him. You've certainly done a lot this morning. More than any of hired help does."
"Arigatou."
I washed my face and brushed my hair. I dusted some of the flour off the clothes I had been wearing since yesterday.
I sat down on the steps outside, my hands holding up my head.
The lady Beth had given me sticky buns to eat. I bit into one.
I closed my eyes for a few seconds when the two men from yesterday loomed over me.
A/N: YA! I made the deadline, I was kind of rushing to finish this chapter cuz I really wanted to post this week. Next weeks MIGHT be late. I have a lot of gay hw and mothers day you know. Anyway, I thought it might be cool if I made it so Serenity could fight, as for her well... "technique" my friend always taught me that if your ever in trouble with guys kick em where the sun don't shine and then run like hell. Hehe.. I'm running out of ideas so suggestions would be nice. R + R folks!
