Akkadia: *walks in* Hi everyone!
Karria: Well, looks like you're feeling better...
Akkadia: Yep, but I'll feel even better if I won't have to do the disclaimer...*chibi eyes*
Karria: Oh, not the eyes. Anything but the eyes Oh, all right, all right. My Hikari has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters. She only owns the story idea. And a pair of eyes that are almost as strong as Yugi's and Mokuba's.
Akkadia: Hey!
Mokuba: Come on Seto, you promised!
Kaiba: *from another room* Mokuba, I'm not coming out, and that's final!
Mokuba: *advanced, top level unresistable chibi eyes*
Kaiba: Oh, you are in so much trouble...*walks out dressed as Santa Claus*
Everyone: *burst out laughing*
Akkadia: *trying to gasp for breath* Enjoy *laugh* the *laugh* fic! *laugh*
A/N: Ok, no doubt Kaiba's gonna kill me after this chapter but oh well, it's worth it! Thanks to everyone for the reviews. Hope this chapter's satisfactory! Enjoy chapter 8! BTW this is probably going to be short. I have a limit to computer use and I want to put this up the same night I type it. But I promise it will be good.....I hope!
Chapter 8
Serenity was searching for something to wear. Her mom came in to her room, "Serenity, what in God's name is going on here?" Clothes were scattered across the floor.
Serenity stopped in mid-toss, "I can't find anything to wear to that dinner, I need to take a shower, I need to do my hair..." the list went on and on.
Mrs. Wheeler just chuckled, "Well, why don't you let me take care of that and you jump into the shower..." she suggested.
Serenity jumped up, "Ok, Mom!" she dropped all the clothes she was holding and ran to the bathroom.
Mrs Wheeler just smiled, "Oh, my little girl is grown up so fast..."
*At the Kaiba Mansion*
Mokuba was sitting on his brother's bed working on a word find puzzle, (I love those things!) "Finally I found it!" he said. Just as he was about to circle the located word his eye contact was broken. A white shirt landed on the book. After that came a few socks and even a pair of boxers! Mokuba looked in the direction from which the clothes were flying from. He found his brother rummaging through his , what seemed to be, endless closet, "Seto, what on earth are you doing?" he asked.
Kaiba stopped what he was doing and turned around, "I'm trying to find something to wear for the dinner tonight, Mokuba."
Mokuba all of a sudden busted out laughing. In seconds he was on the floor rolling around, clutching his stomach. The laughter continued to erupt from his mouth as tears flowed down his cheeks.
Kaiba on the other hand hadn't even cracked a smile, "Mokuba, what is so funny?"
Mokuba managed to get his laughter under control long enough to say, "You ordered a tux for the dinner, remember? It's hanging on the closet door!" the laughter took over again.
Kaiba looked up and sure enough a tux was hanging there. He realized why his brother was laughing and joined in, causing Mokuba to stop. Kaiba noticed this and stopped as well, "What's the matter?"
Mokuba's expression grew serious, "Nothing, it's just. It's been a long time since I've heard you really laugh. Know what I mean?"
Kaiba nodded, "Yeah, I guess I've been really busy."
Mokuba looked at the clock, "Uh, Seto don't you have to shower?"
Kaiba jumped up, "Oh you're right!" he ran into the bathroom and soon Mokuba could hear the shower running.
The younger Kaiba sighed and shook his head, "Where would he be without me?" He jumped up and went back to work on his word find puzzle, "Oh, great. Now that's another missing word!"
*Meanwhile back at the Wheelers*
Serenity stepped out of the shower and walked into her room. What she saw made her stop dead in her tracks. Lying on her bed was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen.
Mrs. Wheeler walked in, "Like it?"
Serenity turned and ran to her mom, "Thank you!" she ran over and carefully slipped into dress. It was dark violet, just barely off the shoulders, with a shawl to match, just below the knees, "How do I look, Mom?"
Mrs. Wheeler had tears in her eyes, "My little baby girl is all grown up and going out on her first date!"
Serenity blushed, "Mom, it's not a date. It's just a friendly dinner. And we won't be alone." she looked at the clock and gasped, "Oh, the limo will be here any minute!" Serenity ran down the stairs just as a limo pulled up in front of the house, "Bye, Mom!" she walked out to find a kindly old man holding open the door.
"Good evening, Mrs. I am Johnson." (How original)
Serenity nodded her head, "Hello." she got in and looked around, "Whoa!"
"Not bad huh?"
Serenity jumped, "Uh, well... it's just I've been in one but, not one this amazing!" she noticed Kaiba looking at her and her cheeks went red, "Great, I've already made a fool of myself and we haven't even left my house!"
Kaiba just chuckled, "Hey, um, you look really nice tonight."
That comment made Serenity blush harder, "Oh, thanks. By the way, where's Mokuba?"
"Oh, he's at home. He's used to being alone. The staff always takes good care of him." Kaiba answered, "I guess I haven't spent that much time with him..."
Serenity carefully made her way across the limo and sat down next to Kaiba, "Well if it's any consolation to you, I think you're a great brother to Mokuba." her hand somehow found it's way into his, "Oh, sorry." she scooted over to the window and for the rest of the trip stayed there.
The dinner was pretty boring and Kaiba was surprised at how well, Serenity managed to fit in. A string quartet started playing a sweet melody. All of a sudden about 15 girls approached Kaiba asking if he wanted to dance. Kaiba looked over at Serenity with a face that simply said, "HELP!" Serenity giggled as Kaiba stood up and made his way around the table, "May I have this dance?"
Serenity took his hand, "Of course, sir." she allowed Kaiba to lead her to the dance floor. She was surprised at how well he slow danced. After looking around, Serenity saw about 15 dirty expressions all pointing right at her. Once the song ended, Serenity said, "I need to go freshen up." she made her way towards the bathroom which had a sign above the door, 'Powder Room' Serenity went in and walked over to one of the many mirrors. She touched up her lipstick and added a little more blush to her cheeks. Just as she was about to leave, Serenity felt a hand clamp over her mouth. She tried to scream but couldn't. Serenity did the only thing she could think of and stopped on her attacker's foot with her heel, as hard as she possibly could. Once free, Serenity raced out of the bathroom to find Kaiba, "Seto, I...I..." she was completely out of breath.
Kaiba looked at her with concern, "Serenity, what's wrong?"
Serenity managed to catch her breath, "Someone tried to attack me in the bathroom."
Kaiba seemed to get the picture, "Come on we're leaving." he led her through the noisy dining hall and out to the parking lot.
Serenity stepped into the limo and Kaiba followed, "I'm sorry if I ruined your evening."
Kaiba shook his head, "No, you didn't. In fact, I was hoping for an excuse to leave anyway." he lightly chuckled.
Serenity gazed out the window and sighed deeply, "Thank You."
"For what?"
"For everything. Saving my brother, taking me to this dinner, everything."
Kaiba reached over and gently took her hand into his own, "You don't need to thank me Serenity. I did it because I wanted to." he placed a gentle kiss on her hand, "I did it because I care."
Serenity slowly scooted over and looked into Kaiba's deep blue eyes. She could feel herself falling in his eyes. But then their eye contact was broken and in its place was the contact of his lips upon her own. The kiss was simple but it held a meaning. Yet, neither one knew what it was. The kiss grew deeper as Kaiba gently slid his tongue across her lip, requesting entrance. She granted him entrance and slowly opened her mouth allowing his tongue in. As soon as it began, it was over. The two looked at each other with unknown emotions.
Just outside the limo stood a tall figure clad in black, "I'll get you Serenity. You and your brother, just you wait..."
Akkadia: *is currently hiding in the clothes hamper*
Karria: *rereads the chapter* whoa, went into a lot of detail on that kiss huh?
Kaiba: All right where is she?
Karria: Oh, boy, uh, 3 reviews= chapter 9! Everyone who reviews gets a free picture of Kaiba dressed as Santa Claus.
Kaiba: What?
Akkadia: *pops up from the hamper and takes a dozen pictures of Kaiba*
Karria: Well, looks like you're feeling better...
Akkadia: Yep, but I'll feel even better if I won't have to do the disclaimer...*chibi eyes*
