Chapter 10: Seto Kaiba

(A/N: Whew! Your reviews motivated me! ^^ Well, here's the next chapter. Enjoy! ^^)

Our eyes met. I clutched onto my helmet, trying hard to show of eyes of guilt and asking of forgiveness, but I couldn't. My eyes expressed nothing, but only darkness and blankness. I watched as she went to the front to receive the small crown for princess. I turned my head over to see her friend. I didn't know her name, but I do recall that she is the one who was Serenity's best friend. I wonder how their relationship would turn out. Would the friend forgive Serenity? Or end up never forgiving her?

I shrugged, as I sat on the bench. This homecoming prince and princess crap did not concern me. I closed my head, as I leaned back my head, drifting into a daydream.

"SETO KAIBA!"

Cheers roar as guys pushed me to wake up. I was confused. Why the hell was my name being called up?

I lazily walked to the front to see three other guys already there. They announced four more girls, as it was time for the runner up and the king and queen. I kicked the sand in the ground. Who the hell nominated me?!

"The runner up king is..Duke Devlin!"

I watched as dice boy walked slowly up to the front. He did seemed slightly disappointed, probably due to the fact that he wasn't king. I heard loud cheering, as I noticed his little cheerleading group. Ugh. They disgusted me.

"Duke! Duke! He's our man! If he can't do it, no one can!" They screamed out.

Gawd. They annoyed me. Then called out the runner up queen. I was getting read to walk down the platform, but...

"And the king is..SETO KAIBA!"

I cursed in my brain, as I stepped back on the platform. I walked slowly to the front to accept the damn crown. I could care less who the queen was.

"And the queen is..TEA GARDNER!"

I watched, as a huge grin appeared on Tea's face, as she hugged the girls around her. She accepted the crown, as we finally were able to sit down.

Now it was time for the second half.

Our team was losing by a few points, hopefully that loser dog would get to his senses and actually play like man.

I caught the ball, as I ran towards touchdown. I saw Joey waving his hands frantically. Sure he was free, but I don't trust him. I continued to run, as I made a touchdown.

We were tied.

"Ball hog!" Joey scowled, as I shrugged. Did I care? No.

The other team had the ball, as I watched another guy tackled into the guy holding the ball. The ball flew out of his hands, as I quickly grabbed it. I ran towards our goal point.

"D-O-M-I-N-O! GO DOMINO HIGH! GO! GO! GO!"

I heard the screams of the cheerleaders, as I looked back, seeing Serenity with a fake grin. She shouted with supposed joy, as I can tell she was trying to cover up her guilt. If her friend doesn't forgive her, I would never forgive myself. I never gave the chance for her to talk to me. I was wrong. I was a true bastard.

BAM!

I was on the ground. My head trickled with blood. The ball gone from my hands. The stand stopped cheering. My head felt heavy. It felt spinney, as it couldn't focus. I was dizzy. I closed my eyes. Trying to knock out the chaos running around in my mind.

I was in pain.

Not just physically, but also, emotionally.

I heard vain sounds. People crying out "Oh my god! Oh my god!" or "Is that 07? How will the team win now?!" or "Someone get him treatment!"

But from all the sounds, one statement had rung out to me.

"I forgive you Kaiba!"

My eyes slightly opened, as I saw a blurry image. A girl. A girl with long auburn hair and had the greenest eyes.

I smiled.

I fainted.

I woke up in a hospital room. I seemed to be wearing hospital clothes and a weird needle attached to my arm. I looked up to the ceiling, as I felt something in my hand.

It was another hand. A small petite hand of pale peachy pink.

I looked up to see the owner of this angelic hand.

"I hope your feeling better."

I smiled slightly. Serenity was here. Of course I felt better.

"Serenity, I'm really sorr-" I began, but she cut me off and placed her index finger on my lip.

"It's okay. I forgive you." She smiled down at me. I noticed that she was still in her cheerleading uniform. Her skirt was smeared with dirt, probably due to the fact that she kneeled on the ground when he face was over mine.

I squeezed her small hands. "I missed you. A lot."

"I missed you too." Serenity blushed.

I felt so bad. Serenity was too nice. If I was her, I would never forgive myself. She is so different from her brother.

"Why did you choose to forgive me?" I asked.

"Why? Hmmm, because maybe forgiveness is what makes this world go around," Serenity paused. "My friend taught me something. Do you want to know what?"

"What?"

"You know how she was suppose to be princess?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I found out that she nominated me. Yeah, pretty surprising. Sakura, my best friend who nominated me, was supposed to win, but I somehow outvoted her. I told her how sorry I was, but she stopped me. She told me that I deserved it and congratulated me." Serenity caressed my hand, as she was explaining.

"How do you know that she's being honest?" I asked. "I mean she could be hiding her true feelings."

"That's what I thought, but she had such sincere eyes filled with happiness. It seemed as if she truly wanted me to win."

"Where's your crown?"

Serenity gave me a warm smile. "After the game, I took it off and placed it on Sakura's head. I told her that we were both princesses. I know it sounds childish.."

"No. It doesn't sounds childish at all." I gave her a small smile. Then I remembered about he game. "Who won?"

"Won what? The game?" Serenity asked, as I nodded. Then her face fell down. "We lost."

"Oh." I said. Well, it didn't really matter, did it? "But I guess we did out best."

"Yep!" Serenity's face brightened. Then I remembered about the homecoming dance.

"What about the dance?" I asked. "You missed it!"

"The dance is postponed to tomorrow." Serenity smiled. "Will you go with me?"

I nodded. "Can I kiss you?"

Serenity's eyes widened with surprise.

"Sorry, I guess that was a bit sudden. Forget I said tha-" I felt my lips covered by hers.

After a second, she pulled apart and gave me smile. "The doctors said that you can get out of the hospital soon!"

I smiled.

I pulled down her neck to kiss her once more.

But this time, it was longer.
