Chapter Two, Cold Hearts, Forbidden Love
The next day passed by, the time slipping through Serenity's fingers like sand in a timer.
First the whole gang: Malik, Marik, Bakura, Ryou, Yami, Yugi, Tea, Mai, Kaiba, Tristan, Duke, Joey, and Serenity, all had breakfast on the edge of the first pool on the patio. It was the first time they had all hung out since Battle City. Marik had lost his resentment against the Pharaoh and both groups of Yamis and hikaris were playing pranks on the old tomb robber and his peaceful hikari.
Finally, Ryou slammed his fork and knife down, looking positively mad.
'FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD YAMI WILL YOU STOP THROWING FO--'
At that precise moment, Yami had thrown a huge slice of cake at his face.
Ryou grumbled under his breath, wiping away the cake which seemed to be plastered to his face. He sat down, throwing dirty glances at them all.
Mai was talking cheerfully to Serenity and Tea (who was pretending to listen, but was secretly throwing seductive looks at Yami, who was looking disgusted) about makeup tips.
Tristan and Duke were fighting over Serenity, who had turned her attention (reluctantly) at them, poured herself two drinks, got up and poured them straight on both of their crouches. Mai started laughing and accidentally spilled her wine all over her shirt. She screamed and started running around the table, screaming:
'NOOOOOOO MY SUADEEE SHIRT IT COSTS MORE THAN THE LOT OF YOU PUT TOGETHERRRR,' and Bakura, laughing at her, threw out his foot as she ran past him, tripped, and fell straight on her face.
Bakura laughed at the top of his lungs as she collected herself and started strangling him. Yami sneaked up behind them and pushed them into the pool. A whole chorus of laughs erupted. Mai was thrashing her arms wildly as Bakura was getting hit by them, looking utterly confused, and trying to yell but was being drowned out by the sound of water being thrashed and the collective laughing of the gang.
'FOR THE LOVE OF----'
Mai had dunked him under the water, (*AUTHORESS: cough*) accidentally.
'GOD DAMN IT WILL YOU---' Bakura gasped for breath, finally uttering
'FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU WENCH WILL YOU STOP HITTING ME OVER THE HEAD, YOU AREN'T DROWNING YOU CAN REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL'
Mai stopped thrashing her arms, and quietly said 'Oh'
The gang laughed ever harder as the both of them tramped out of the water.
Mai's face looked absolutely horrible. Her mascara was all smudged and her hair became untamed and frizzy.
The gang stared at her, but she didn't know what the problem was.
'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL STARING AT ME FOR'
Yami was the first to respond, he raised a finger and pointed at her..
'You look like a----' he suppressed a giggle '---CLOWN!!! A CLOWN!!!!! HA HA HA MAI THE CLOWN'
Mai huffed and puffed, obviously thinking of a comeback, instead she grabbed a candle that was burning on the table, and started running after him
'I SWEAR PHARAOH I'LL BURN YOU GOOD'
~~
Serenity found herself having more fun than she had had before, she had forgotten the look Kaiba had given her.
Soon, she became wrapped in the temptation the resort offered..the beach was tempting her to come swim in it, the horses patiently waiting to be ridden on, the sunsets waiting to be watched….but she found herself lonely. Sure she could go and do any of those things..but there really was no point to watch a sunset alone…no point in swimming in the turquoise ocean alone….
~~
Kaiba watched on silently wondering if he really should have done this…inviting them…? They did not treat him as one of the gang but he longed to join in with them and have a few good laughs, which was something he was denied of for the past fifteen years. He glanced over the table, Serenity sat alone. A pang of jealousy hit him hard in the chest. 'If she only wasn't a Wheeler….' He thought to himself quietly, she looked as if she wanted to join the rest of gang, who were all taking part in tackling Yami, who was trying very much to throw them all off. Mai stood cornered over him, holding the burning handle in her hands, saying 'I've been waiting to do this for a long time, MWHAHAHAHAH' Bakura and Marik were holding him by the wrists as he squirmed childishly. Mai held the candle close to Yamis golden hair as he suddenly kicked Bakura in the gut causing him to hit Mai accidently..who in turn dropped the candle setting his clothes on fire. Yami laughed as Bakura ran around screaming 'MY HAIR MY CLOTHES!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH'
Kaiba looked away from the gang..maybe one day he'd feel okay enough to join in the festivities, but for now the bitter loneliness in his heart gave way to more anger and pain.
~~
The sun dropped low, hovering just above the roaring ocean. A cold wind blew through the resort, causing the trees to shift….Kaiba glanced again at Serenity…would she ever be his…?
