In the Name of Love
Disclaimer: Let's keep this one simple eh? I don't own Yugioh. Simple no?
Another chapter ^^ yay! And it's longer then usual ^^ well slightly anyways. ~~
"Hey! Watch it!" she shouted
The person turned around to face her with a cold glare and Serenity dropped her phone.
"Is that the way you greet your master Serenity?" Marik said
"Seren? You ok? Seren this is no time for pleasentries..." came Bakura's worried voice.
"Aren't you going to pick that up? Bakura seems awfully worried about you." Said Marik with his bone chilling smrik
Serenity, never taking her eyes off her master, slowly picked up her phone. If there was one thing she had learned while under Marik's order was never turn your back on anyone. "Hello...Bakura?" she said hesitantly, "I'm fine, I was just playing with you."
"That's a relief. I don't think I can stand any more shock, seriously title king of thieves means nothing to kids these da...OH MY GOD!!! MOKUBA PUT THAT DOWN! I'll call you back Seren" and all Serenity heard after a crash was the dial tone.
Serenity slowly turned off her phone and faced her master. "What brings you here Master Marik?" she asked cautiously. She knew there was a possibility that Marik might dislike her questioning his motives, but she was quite curious.
"Because my dear Serenity, you haven't been able to get much done over the few weeks that I've sent you by Seto Kaiba's side, so I've decided to give you a little bit of help."
Now Serenity felt as if someone had poured ice down her back. "Why thank you Master Marik, I didn't realize you cared."
"I don't! This is your last chance Serenity, get me that card or face the consequences." With that Marik gave her a peck on the cheek and left.
'Looks to me like his love for me is running out, I guess it's time to do something.' She thought, she felt eyes staring at her and turned her head to come face to face with none other then Seto Kaiba.
~~
Seto had come to this winter wonderland to get his mind off of things. He enjoyed the serene surrounding. He was about to set his foot into the crisp snow when he heard a familiar name.
"I don't! This is your last chance Serenity, get me that card or face the consequences." Seto slipped behind a wall just to see a tall blonde boy kiss Serenity on the cheek.
Seto could feel his anger flare. 'How dare that jackass talk to Serenity like that and then have the nerve to kiss her after. Serenity's mine!' The thought of what he just said struck him afterwards, 'did I just say she was mine? Since when did a simple woman affect me so much?
Suddenly when he looked up, he realized, she was staring right back at him.
~~
"What are you doing here Seto?" Serenity asked with slight panic in her voice.
Seto got his normal posture back. "I could be asking you the same thing Serenity. I don't remember you requesting me for a holiday."
"I had to come up here for some personal business. It was a family thing." She said
"I see, so blondie is a relative?" he said gesturing in the direction Marik had left in.
'Shit! How much did he see?' she thought as she tried to frame a story together. "No he's an ex-boyfriend of mine. However I don't see why I am telling you this."
"You work for me, I think I deserve to know of some of the company that you keep, after I don't want any of the people you hang around with to corrupt Mokuba."
'You mean he's not?' she had the urge to say but kept it to herself. She sighed, "Anyways, I had Bakura take care of Mokuba while I'm up here, but I have some calls to make, if it's ok with you Seto." She turned towards her room without even waiting for a response.
~~
Seto just stood there with a semi-shocked look. 'Guess I should be used to that now, she's different from the other girls I've known, she doesn't seem to care about who I am, she just treats me like everyone else.' He thought as he got his skis and headed for the slopes. 'But still, why do I feel this way about her? She may be different from all the others, but that doesn't me I necessarily fall for her. What is it about this girl that intrigues me so much?' he thought as he took the plunge down the slope.
~~
"Hey Bakura, how's Mokuba doing?" she said calling her friend to make sure nothing serious had happened to her friend.
"Oh sure, that's the first thing you do when you call, ask about the lil mexican jumping bean." He sighed as he listened to Serenity laugh, "Why do I bother? The little critter's asleep. I wouldn't mind getting some shut eye myself, then again will a new natural disaster occur if I do that."
"Go get some sleep Bakura, I just wanted to tell you that I realized why I'm up here. Apparently Seto Kaiba's up here, and Marik's through being patient with me, that's why he's up here keeping an eye on me making sure that I'm not slacking off."
"Serenity, if Marik has seriously gone through all the trouble of getting you up there alone with Seto Kaiba I think it's time you finish off this job. Either get the card, or...well you know. It's time to make your decision, and hopefully it will be the best for you."
"Thanks for your support Bakura. I will try to get this done as soon as possible. I'll call you if anything happens."
"K. See you later then. Hopefully soon." He said as Serenity hung up the phone.
Serenity sat there, thinking, 'Betray the man I love, or betray the man that can destroy all that I hold dear? If I betray Seto, Marik will continue using me, and I'll never get Seto to trust me again. Then again if I tell Seto and not help Marik, Marik would never let Seto go, in fact I'd be putting Seto in danger.' She sighed.
The sound of the ambulance filled the lodge. 'Someone's in trouble?' Serenity made her way towards the crowd.
"Did you hear? It's Seto Kaiba! He fell off the slope and hit his head. I think it's preety serious."
Serenity's eyes widened. 'Seto!' she thought as she pushed her way through the crowd.
The first aid room opened the doors as soon as a suitable passage was made through the crowd. There in the stretcher, Serenity saw was indeed Seto Kaiba.
"Seto!" she cried
"Miss, I can't allow you to go near the patient unless you are related to Mr. Kaiba." Said one of the nurses in the emergency room
"I work for him, I take care of his little brother."
"Do you have any proof?" the nurse said skeptically.
Serenity grumbled as she pulled out the Kaiba mansion id card that all the staff had.
"I guess you can go in then, the doctor's with him in room 108" she said as Serenity ran to the appointed room.
As Serenity entered the semi-dark room a doctor looked at her. "This room is Mr. Kaiba's private room. Are you allowed in here?"
"I work for Mr. Kaiba." She said pulling out the id card.
This seemed to be enough for the doctor as well. "What is Mr. Kaiba's condition?" she asked as she watched Seto breathe softly covered in shadows.
"I don't know if I should tell you. After all you aren't Mr. Kaiba's family."
"I guess I should tell you, if you don't tell me, I can assure that you won't live to see another day." She said grabbing the doctor's collar as she slammed the gun she had hidden against the doctor's stomach. She hadn't used it since Marik had assigned her on these finding rare card jobs, but holding it was like riding a bike.
"Ahem. Well..uh..since..uh...you put it that way." The doctor stuttered. "Mr. Kaiba suffered some severe injuries. Besides needing to put his right arm and leg in a cast, he..well you see when he hit his head, some of the blood clotted in his brain, so when Mr. Kaiba woke up and realized he couldn't see he had a fit, we had to get him a tranqualizer so that he could calm down while he find a way to help him but so far we are unshare. I think the best solution is to send Mr. Kaiba back to the city."
Serenity dropped the doctor. "Seto may never regain sight?" she said. "Get out." She told the doctor in a silent but deadly tone. "Wait!" she said as the doctor was ready to bolt. "If anyone finds out about me, no matter where you run, I'll find you, and make you regret that you ever decided to cross me."
With a nod the doctor left, leaving Serenity and Seto alone. Pulling up a chair she sat down next to Seto and took his left hand in hers. He looked so different. Seto was normally strong and powerful. He had the power to command respect just by a simple look. Serenity admired the strength that she never had, to be able to stand up to anything. But now as she looked down at the man that she loved, she felt her heart rip in two. A tear that she couldn't hold back rolled down her face and landed on Seto's left hand.
Suddenly she felt as Seto's hand moved. "You're awake!" she cried.
"Who's there?" Seto said. His mind was still blurry from the drugs. The darkness of the room causing him unable to see. Although he didn't tell anyone, Seto disliked dark rooms. It reminded him of the night his stepfather had died. In a dark room, lying weakly in a bed.
"It's me Serenity."
"Why are you crying?" he asked
"I'm not crying"
"You were. Your voice is shaky and my hand is wet. Do you pity me Serenity? Do you feel sorry for me?" he asked his voice filled with bitterness as memories from his childhood filled the dark space in which he couldn't see.
Serenity was shocked. "No! How could you say that?"
"Don't lie to me. Everyone always has that fake act of pretending they sympathize with me. Not like anyone of them ever truly cares anyways. I thought you were different Serenity. I thought you were strong, like me. You're nothing, just like the others. Get out of here. I don't need your pity or anyone else's."
"Seto I would never..."
"I SAID GET OUT!" he shouted
Serenity felt her heart shatter. After all she had done for him... Without a word, Serenity left the room, leaving Seto to live in his dark void of bitterness.
'I'm sorry Serenity, I wish I could tell you.' Seto thought 'I wish I could tell you everything.'
~~
And let's end here shall we? Evil aren't I? Wonder what Seto's big secret is? Guess you guys will have to keep reviewing so I can continue writing eh? I'm Canadian too ^^ Well must sleep before I keel in class, I'm preety sure my math teacher would just love to see me sleep through my math test.
