Author's note- I just wanted to say, before this story goes on any further that Serena in this story is not Serenity Wheeler. Although she is in this story a bit. Ok, having cleared that up, on with chapter five.
Grant Staten followed silently behind one of the technicians of Domino City Hospital. Grant had made it to the hospital in little over two hours. He was now going to make a claim on his daughter.
"Can she see us?" Grant asked the technician as they stopped in front of a two way mirror.
"Not unless she's superwoman." He commented as the technician adjusted some knobs that allowed them to hear Serena talking to some other doctors.
"You mean to tell me that I have no historical medical records?" she demanded.
"Well, we don't know that for sure…" Dr. Carter began when Serena rudely interrupted.
"Well what do you know?! Extend you teensy little brains a little more if at all possible!" she hissed.
"Well you see to be suffering from a temporary amnesia. Either from the shock of the cold water or the bump into the garbage carrier." Dr. Carter told her.
"How temporary is it?" Serena asked wearily.
"Well, we don't know that either, but other than that you seem to be in perfect physical condition." The doctor replied.
"Listen to me medical people." Serena said in a low angry tone. "As of now…I have the life history of a dirty garbage scowl and a breakfast of extremely runny eggs over easy." She said her voice growing louder by the second. "Now I refuse…Refuse!" she yelled throwing a plastic cup across the room. "To be incarcerated in this semi-private room. YOU SNORE!" she yelled at the old woman in the bed next to her. "While there are no efforts being made for anyone to contact anything about my whereabouts. I won't stand for it, you hear me?!" she yelled at the doctors as Grant looked at the technician in front of him.
"Is that her?" he asked with a disgusted look on his face. Grant looked at the man's face then at his outraged daughter.
"No, I've never seen her before in my life!" He answered as he turned and strode back to his waiting limo. Once back at the yacht he gathered everyone around him.
"My daughter has decided to run away from me…lets celebrate!" he said honking the yacht horn.

Seto Kaiba concentrated intensely at the computer screen before him. He looked up when he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter." He commanded as his friend Duke Devlin entered carrying two take home boxes.
"Hey, you about done?" Duke asked the annoyed looking CEO.
"What are you doing here?" Seto asked.
"You asked me yesterday if I could bring you some lunch. So I did. I also decided to eat it with you." He said plopping himself down on the couch and flipping on the TV Seto had in his office. Seto ignored this and continued to finish his work. Duke turned on the Domino City News as the announcer came back on.
"More now on the amnesia lady story…" the announcer said as he flashed a picture of her on the screen. Seto looked up and did a double take at the woman from the yacht.
"I don't believe it." Seto said aloud.
"What?" Duke asked.
"That's her." Seto said standing up and walking over to the TV screen.
"Who?" Duke said confused.
"The witch!" Seto said using one of his favorite names to call her. Duke nodded his understanding now. It was that woman who pushed him off her yacht.
"One man came by earlier to make a claim to this mysterious woman, but he was sadly disappointed." A female announcer said as they showed a picture of Grant Staten walking out of the hospital, shooing away the cameras.
"I don't believe it, he's skipping out on her." Duke commented.
"Why not, it's his shot at freedom!" Seto replied bitterly.
"Maybe you should go down there and see of you can get some of you money back." Duke suggested.
"Look at him, he's gone." Seto said waving a hand and getting up off the couch.
"Not him…her." Duke replied nonchalantly.
Seto gave a short laugh. "She doesn't even know who she is. You think she's going to remember who I am?" he asked as his face suddenly lit up with an idea. Seto spun around to face the TV staring at the picture of Serena as a devious smile graced his lips.
"Oh, Duke, there is a God and he loves me!" Seto said as his idea began to take shape.
"What are you going to do?" Duke asked.
"I want you to get my brothers and take them shopping for dresses, ugly ones, then take them to that little house we have that's way out in the boonies!" Seto said as he ran out the door.
"Seto! You can't do this." Duke yelled after his retreating back as he figured out what Seto planned to do. "It's illegal! You're crazy!" Duke yelled as he prepared to do what Seto asked.
