A/N: Art class w/ meanie (courtesy to Terry) teacher today, shez making me draw Yellow cows...ahhhhhhh!! Y should I have to draw Yellow cows when Kevin's drawing fruit? Writing this at 6 am in the morning...falling asleeeeeeeeeep......MUS T S TA Y A WAK E!!!! !

oK, I this is where I start inventing... according to MY StoRY. Serenity was adopted...ok It goes well with my plot? And she was in the same orphanage as The Hottie, Seto Kaiba... ok? I forget his ReAL parents' last name so I will (oops, shall) avoid discussing them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She stirred, her Hazel eyes fluttered open and she looked around. An unfamiliar surrounding greeted her. She looked around, a nurse was near by and she asked her, "Where am I?"

The nurse turned, and replied, "you are at the St. Anne's hospital for treatment" The girl then asked a simple "why"

"You have suffered a bullet wound, and your parents are no where to be found. If we are unable to locate your parents, then you'll just have to simply stay at the orphanage."

"But who am I?"

A gasp greeted that question. And The nurse then said that she'd find a suitable name to call her.15 minutes later, the girl was renamed Serenity.

After two weeks, the wound healed and Serenity got ready for her trip to the orphanage. As she was leaving, the nurse gave her a pendant and a manacle both exquisitely carved. Both had an eye in its center. The nurse then said that these were Serenity's only belongings. She then waved good bye to the girl as Serenity's cab drove off.

At the Orphanage, things were not looking so good for Serenity. She had to wear old clothes of older children and she was not very social. Her time was spent in sketching the scenes around her, and observing the engravings on her manacle and pendant.. She was completly alone at the orphanage... that is, until she found a friend....

Seto was his name, he was not like other children. He did not play with the toys boys at his age usually played with. He was exceedingly precocious. His time was spent on reading books and designing his own PC. There was no doubt that he was a young genius. The only person he reguarly spent time with was his brother, Mokuba, who was no more than a toddler.

It was at the Christmas Party when the two met. The partying was about to begin and Serenity was despratly trying to avoid the gaggle of girls who had tormented her so long. She looked around and saw an inconspicuous table in the corner where a solitary boy sat. She knew that those blue eyes had seen her. She walked over and said "Hello, my name is Serenity, who are you?"

Through the corner of his eye, he saw her come to his table. He decided to ignore her and get back to his reading when his book was rudely closed by the girl, Serenity. "Why did you close my book?" he asked, annoyed

"I asked you a question, haven't you heard of manners?" retorted Serenity

"If I tell you, will you stop talking to me?"

"Maybe"

"Fine, my name is Seto and that," he paused and pointed at a raven haired toddler, "is my brother Mokuba"

"well, nice to meet you"

That was their first meeting, but others soon followed until both decided to call an end to their sotitary attitudes in order to be a little less than friendly acquaintances. But this little entente was ruined when a Mrs. Wheeler adopted Serenity.

Mrs. Wheeler also had another child, a blond-haired boy named Joey, who soon became Serenity's customary companion. Joey was Serenity's new older brother, and he who soon replaced Seto in Serenity's mind.... but happiness soon came to an end, when Mrs. Wheeler and Mr. Wheeler got a divorce. Serenity and Joey were then taken apart.
