A/N: Okay, maybe it's not the story that's boring for me, just the nothingness of summer time that makes me want to lie around and do nothing and complain that the world is a sucky boring place ^^; but aside from all of that, I'm not completely sure but this should, SHOULD be the last chapter... well if it's not I'm sorry.. I do write these author's notes before I start the story.. let see if I can manage to pull the end of this story off before, oh lets say the end of September
Disclaimer: Nope, I own nothing.. well actually I do own several trading cards.. and hopefully some DVD's, but for now just my freakish obsession with the uber hot bishounens *drools* ahem.. YGO belongs to Kazuki Tasukushi... I hope I spelt that right -_-;
Spending the Summer with Seto
Chapter Fifteen - Preparations
**Seto's Pov**
I collapsed onto my bed, panting, slightly out of breath but grinning like crazy. I carefully placed the digital video recorder on my night stand. For a little guy Mokuba moved fast, luckily my hair grabbing and tickle torture techniques proved superior to his freakishly, sugar hyped speed. Immature for a dignified CEO? Perhaps, but perhaps I was losing my touch lately. This emotion, love has been playing mind games with me, it almost makes me feel as if I'm losing control. On second thought, no, no. It was simply my imagination, nothing could make me lose control. But still, lately I just don't know.
So here I am, pacing like crazy, back and forth my room. Things just feel weird lately, besides the fact that maybe, I just might miss her. Don't get me wrong now, it's not like I couldn't live without her, that I think about her constantly; it's just the tiniest, smallest, feeling in my system, that maybe I might actually not detest her company. Even though I had confessed I loved her, was it really true than? Hadn't I just said it to comfort her, maybe I even had well, a crush. Now, these, these feelings, have slightly multiplied. I ran my hand through my hair, it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.
Maybe I should apologize, it's not that I feel guilty or sad, yelling at her the way I did. I didn't really mean to mouth off to her, actually I didn't feel that way at all. She's amazingly diligent when she works, she does it quietly, efficiently and neatly, which is more than I can say for the rest of my staff. That she can actually function like that on a day to day basis is probably remarkable for a Wheeler. Than again, she was different in many ways, but not in a bad way. Perhaps slightly better than average? Nothing really special, just not ignorant like most, that and she was slightly attractive. I better watch my mouth, if I keep rambling like this, Ms. Tea will think she's found a friend in me. Ironic isn't it? I'm starting to don those oh so cute charecter traits I despise, whoopee!!
Well, I guess I should apologize, I especially don't want to be given sloppy, wet dog kisses by that blonde mutt. Furthermore, I really wouldn't want that on tape, which Mokuba would manage, even if we were locked in a bathroom in America, he would get it on tape. Heaven and hell couldn't stop the determination of a Kaiba, especially not a sugar hyped one for that matter. That, and perhaps the conscience I don't have, is starting to get to me.
I drew in a breath, and exhaled. Letting my hands fall to my sides and collapsing on my bed. It was decided than, I should apologize. But, how?
I closed my eyes, hoping that some sort of idea would pop into my head, all I could picture was a half nude Joey, adorned in a cupid attire shooting arrows at my ass and blowing me kisses. My eyes shot open, however I chose to win her back, I better act fast, before he gets to me first. Shuddering at that very thought, I pulled the covers over my head, trying to drown his face out of my mind.
*BRIING BRIING*
I picked up the phone and snarled into it.
"Kaiba speaking, what the hell do you want?"
"Kaiba? Good. This is Joey, I have a proposition for you."
"Fuck off." I was about to slam the phone down when he started screeching.
"What?! Your wasting my time."
"Read my lips."
"We're on the phone make inu*"
"Can't you take a hint? I have a plan to get the two of you back together. This is for YOUR benefit."
He lowered his voice to a more seductive level. "Besides, my lips are red hot and ready to plant a big one on my big strong CEO."
"I'm listening.."

Serenity's Pov
I sat on my bed brushing my hair, I can't believe I missed that arrogant bastard. I guess that's what you get for playing with fire, I mean everyone did warn me. I grabbed my pillow and hugged it fiercely. I buried my face in it's fur and sighed.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in Joey."
"Hey sis, how you holding up?" Joey walked towards me and extended his arms and attempted to hug me. Tristian pushed him out of the way and raced beside me. He grabbed my hands and laid his head on my shoulders.
"Serenity, I know how you must feel. And you know I'll always be he-"
Joey grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
"What do you think your doing?" he hissed.
(A/N: Remember the confusing chapter with the OOC Tristian? Well you'll also remember Anzu was blackmailing Malik who was control Tristian? ^0^ yea confusing hehe.. any ways.. just know that Tristian and Malik arn't villians in my story.. I was just bashing Anzu.. so Tristian + Joey = Friends.. Anzu = pond scum)
"All right, both of you out, NOW!" Mai shouted. She pointed towards the door and she shoved them out and slammed the door behind them. She turned her attention to me and smiled kindly.
"I thought we could have a girls night, get to know each other a little better and just talk or don't talk."
I looked her in the eye. Here was Mai, a beautiful, sophisticated, well off, smart, successful girl and she was willing to spend time with me, wallowing in my own self pity. Her lavender eyes look kind and she looked as if she genuinely wanted to help.
I picked and interesting spot on the floor and spilled out my entire summer at the Kaiba estate.
(A/N: Yes yes, I am much to lazy to summarize everything, well you've all read the story up to this point, you know what happens.)
Mai closed her eyes, taking all the information in.
"I'm surprised."
"Really? He does have a tendency to be overly blunt, I just thought it might be different with me."
"Not at him, at you."
I stared at her dumbfoundledly, racking my brain for a response, any response.
"Why?"
"Serentiy, honey, if there's one thing you need to know about men, it's that you can't change them. With time they may grow softer and more accustomed to you, but in a new relationship you can't expect him to live up to all your expectations. In return you won't have to live up to his and you'll love each other inspite of the flaws and such."
"But all those things he said, he must not really care if he meant them."
I fought my tears back, and let my hair hang over my face.
"He's selfish and he's not used to taking other peoples feeling into consideration. The thing is, I doubt he would lie about loving you. Even if he doesn't, it's evident that he cares.
"I don't know.." I mumbled. "I'm not quite sure of anything any more. I didn't even want to have feelings for him."
"You can't choose who you fall in love with sweetie."
Mai was silent for a moment.
"I have an idea, why don't you come with me and Joey to the festival tomorrow."
"No it's all right, I don't want to intrude on your date."
"Serenity, please. It's a festival meaning there will be food. I'm going to be stuck all night watching him pig out, go on rides, puke and than drop me off. It would be nice to have some company and I'm sure you'd enjoy it."
"But, I don't have anything to wear plus I'm a wreck," she wailed, staring hopelessly at her image in the wall mirror."
"You can wear your pink kimono, it looks very cute on you.
"MAI! You went through my stuff?"
"Well, I didn't want you to make up some excuse. I'll come over early tomorrow and pick you up, if you want I can do your hair and make up too."
"Thanks Mai."
*** Normal POV***
The tall blonde strode out of the room and closed the door behind her.
"... thats right eight O clock by the gazebo. Don't worry she'll be there, I guarantee it. Kaiba, if your not there I swear, Mokuba's tape will be broadcastef all over the internet and if your lucky, you might get a big smooch from yours truly."
There was a angry response and Joey put the phone back on the reciever.
Mai walked over and he wrapped his arms around her.
"I didn't realize that my boyfriend was a potential cupid."
"Yep, I'm a regular Romeo." He held her for sometime. "I just want her to be happy. So did you convince her to come?"
Mai smirked. "Was there ever any doubt?"
He pecked her check.
"You do realize if Kaiba decided to bail, you'll be planting kisses all over him."
He shuddered.
"He had better not," Joey cried out. "But," he sighed deeply, "I am a man of my word. From what Serenity tells me he's a pretty good kisser. Maybe you should be worried Mai," he joked.
Mai shoved him roughly onto the ground.
She leaned in, about three inches above him.
"I'll show you whose a great kisser."
She pressed her lips roughly against his as Joey wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.
**** In Serenity's Room****
**** Serenity's POV****
I started to unpack my bags, a loud thud sounded outside of my door. Figures they were totally making out, but when you look as good as Mai and when you have Joey's hormones, it's to be expected. I hung up a few blouses and tossed the dirty clothes on to a small pile. I kept rummaging through my things carefully sorting them out and putting them in place. A while envelope fell out and fluttered to the ground as I put away my books. Staring as hard as I could, I couldn't remember for the life of me what it was.
Slowly I picked it up and pulled out three glossy photos. I brought them with me as I sank onto the bed, tracing my fingers over the pictures. It was odd how even though he was dressed in a ridiculous clown attire, he could still look so gorgeous. I couldn't hold my tears back any longer and they flowed freely down my face, half of me was amused, the other half of me was breaking.
I pulled the covers over my head and let the photos fall to the floor.
***Seto's Pov***
As I was lying on my bed, my stupid face couldn't help but grin stupidly. I would be seeing her tomorrow. My heart rate had quickened considerably. I would win her back no matter what, I decided. And this time, I wasn't letting go.
Notes:
* make inu means pathetic dog, kaiba really does call Joey that in the japanese series.
A/N: Well I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last... tho it might not come out for a while because high school is kill me.. if you have time please review, flame whatever, feedback is very good!
