Chapter 3: Shizuka Jounouchi
(A/N: Sorry for taking so long!! ^^ Well, hope ya like the next chapter, enjoy! Plz R&R!)
I gasped at the site. I noticed the blood trickling down Kaiba's neck. I clutched onto his jacket, hoping he wouldn't get hurt anymore. I just had to scream out his name and got him distracted from the fight. Now he is hurt even more and it's my entire fault. I watched as he got pulled away from the teacher. I shouldn't have called out his name.
The crowd began to pull apart, as students went back to their usual hangouts. I just stood there. Looking down at the ruined jacket. The least I can do was to buy him a new one, or possibly make one.
After school, I went to the fabric store. I compared the fabric of his jacket to the fabrics they had in the store. They had two different types of fabrics, but had the same color. The polyester fabric seemed softer than the cotton one. I decided to buy the polyester fabric. I bought the fabric and went back home to sew the fabric into a nice soft jacket.
When I got home, I ate a quick dinner and went back to my room. I usually study after I am done eating, but today would be different. I sat down on my bed and took out my sewing kit. I started to make the jacket, with much effort as I could.
My tongue stuck out, as I did the last finishing touches. It was finally done. I held it up proudly, looking at the jacket, which looked exactly like the original. Then a locket fell onto the floor. It was Kaiba's locket. I picked it up and polished it, making the locket shine like new. Everything was perfect to return back to Kaiba.
I woke up the next morning. I placed his jacket in a plastic bag, as I securely please the locket inside my school jacket pocket. I walked to school and went to the senior class. I noticed Tea.
"Um, Tea?" I walked up to her.
"Oh! Hey!" Tea smiled at me. "What's up?"
"I'm fine. Thank you very much, how are you?" I asked her. Rule number 13, use proper respect.
"Just great, what brings you here?" Tea asked.
"Um. Do you know where-" I got interrupted by..
"SERENITY! What are you doing here?" I see my brother running into the classroom.
"Do you know where Kaiba is?" I hastily asked, to Tea, before my brother reached me.
I wanted Tea to answer quickly, but she answered at the wrong moment..
"He's been suspended for fighting, why do you need to find Kaiba?" Tea asked, as my brother stared at me in disbelief.
"Serenity.." Joey started.
"I have to go now, good luck in class big brother!" I ran off to my class.
I went back to my class and looked in the plastic bag with the jacket inside. What was I going to do with it?
"Kaiba..." he looked really beaten up. I couldn't get the image out of my head. The blood trickling downs his back, the scar by his lips, and the bruises all over his body.
Then it hit me. Why not go over to his place and drop it off? It may help me feel better to give back the jacket as soon as possible.
I waited for school to end, as I saw my brother waiting for me.
"Serenity, hi!" my brother ran up to me.
"Hi big brother!" I smiled.
"How are you getting home today?" He asked.
"Mother is going to pick me up," I lied. Joey would go crazy if he found out that I was going to Kaiba's house.
"Oh...she is..hmm..okay, well, see you tomorrow!" Joey ran off.
"Bye," I smiled as I went to the main office. I looked in the student directory, as I looked for Kaiba, Seto. I jotted down the address.
It was pretty far. I took my bicycle and looked for his house. After numerous minutes of searching, I finally found it.
It was huge!!!! I starred up to see how high his house, actually I shouldn't call it a house, it's more like a thousand times magnified mansion. I starred in awe, as I rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" A rough voice asked.
"Um, hello! My name is Serenity Wheeler and I am here to return something to Kaiba, who is my classmate!" I cried out through the intercom.
"What are you returning?" the voice asked.
"His school jacket!" I replied.
"Okay." The door opened, as I saw six men in blue suits. There was also a huge elevator behind them and two long flights of stairs on each side. The ceiling was hundred of feet away and there was a lot of decorations such as flowers and painting. Serenity stared in wonder.
"Check the girl's bag. See if there are any inappropriate things in there," the man with the rough voice said. The men took my school bag and the plastic bag that contained Kaiba's jacket.
"It's all cleared, nothing in here, but books and pencils," one man said as he handed me back my bag.
"Nothing here either," another man said, as he handed me back the plastic bag.
"Okay, you may give us the jacket and leave." The man demanded.
"Um, if you say so," I handed him the plastic bag. The man snatched the bag, as we all just stood there.
"Well, um, thank you," I bowed, as I got ready to leave.
"Wait!" I turned around to my surprise. Kaiba came out of his elevator. He seemed to have just finished taking a shower for he was in a bathrobe and there was a towel around his neck.
"Her business here is finished here. The jacket is under our hands now, she may leave," a man hastily told Kaiba, as another man was practically pushing me out of the door.
"I said wait." Kaiba said firmly. "You guys need to learn manners for our guest."
I looked up in surprise. Was he letting me stay for a while?
The men in suits starred at Kaiba, they seem to be surprised that Kaiba would be having a guest.
"Get the tea you idiots!" Kaiba snapped at the men as they hustled to get the tea. "Oh, and give me my jacket."
The man with the plastic bag handed him the bag. Kaiba took out the jacket and what seemed to me is that he smirked.
"Polyester, isn't it?" He felt the fabric. I looked at him uneasily.
"Um, yes." I replied.
"How long did it take you?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"I meant, how long did it take you to make this?"
He knew! He knew that I made it! I gasped.
"Yea, well, its okay, no need to be surprised or anything," Kaiba shrugged. "Our school jackets are made of cotton. Plus, you didn't need to make me a new one."
"I'm..I'm..I'm sorry, the another one got ruined and I had to buy you another one, but the school wouldn't sell me boy's uniform to a girl like me," I explained.
"Its okay, I don't care, but let me ask you this. What happened to my original jacket?" Kaiba asked. My eyes widened. I couldn't tell him. I couldn't tell him how Rose burned his jacket and how I foolishly couldn't save it. It was all too much!
"I...I uh.." Then the tea finally arrived. I just stood there, waiting to be seated.
"Sit." Kaiba pointed at the couch. "Drink." He handed me a cup of tea. "Talk." Then he sat across from me and crossed his legs.
I sat and felt the warmness of the cup. I smelled the nice aroma of apple cinnamon, as I slowly took a sip.
"I'm sorry. I just happened to soak up your jacket, that it got drenched and totally ruined. I also accidentally dropped it in mud and the stains were just awful," I lied, but I think he saw through me. Oh! I'm such a terrible liar!
"Tell me the truth. I won't hurt you." Kaiba slowly took a sip of his tea, as he loosened up his bathrobe. "Ugh, its hot in here..."
"I am telling the truth!" I stuttered.
"Yeah, uh-huh, continue," Kaiba ignored, as he quickly ruffled his hair with the towel. "So, who was it?"
My face flushed red. "No one. Really.."
"Promise?"
"I swear!"
"I know your still lying, but I guess I'll stop bothering you. Oh well, you didn't have to make me a jacket for I have tons of extras here," Kaiba stood up and pointed at a closet.
It was a waste. A waste to make him that jacket. It was sad to know that he would not be wearing for he had plenty of them more..
"Oh. I'm really sorry. You can throw away mine if you like. Well, I better be going now.." I stood up and grabbed my school bag.
I headed towards the door and felt a grasp on my arm...
