Akkadia: *is hunched over her desk trying to stay wake*
Karria: *walks in* please excuse the delay of this chapter everyone! My hikari has been studying for her finals!
Akkadia: Must...stay...awake....must...study....*falls asleep*
Karria: Oh well, I guess I'll have to write the chapter. For the disclaimer. Do I really have to repeat myself? On with the fic!
A/N: Ok, just like my intro says, I'm extremely busy right now with finals coming up. But while I was studying, something clicked and I decided to take a break and write this. If it sucks, it's because, the finals is turning my brain to jelly! Hope you enjoy chapter 11!
Serenity and Kaiba finally arrived at the Kaiba mansion and walked in. As soon as the lights came on, Serenity let out a small gasp, "Wow!"
Kaiba chuckled, "I was expecting that."
Serenity turned away and blushed, "I'm sorry." she walked over to the mantel and looked at all the pictures of the Kaiba Brothers. Tears started to develop in her eyes.
Kaiba could hear her sniffling and walked over, "Are you all right?"
Serenity nodded, "Yeah, it's just these pictures remind me of the day Joey and I were separated."
Kaiba placed a hand on her shoulder and gently kissed her forehead, "I'm going to go check on Mokuba, I'll be right back." he led her over to one of the many leather sofas, "Just make yourself at home." he headed up the stairs and made his way down the hall till he reached Mokuba's room. He could hear the sounds of a video game as he gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Mokuba answered.
Kaiba entered and smirked, "Mokuba..."
In flash, Mokuba had stopped the game turned off the TV and jumped into bed.
Kaiba just shook his head, "It's ok, little brother. It's a Saturday. Listen, we're going to have a house guest for a few days and I want you to be nice to her."
Mokuba sat up, "HER? Seto, are you bringing girls home?" he had a sly look on his face and was trying to hold back a chuckle.
Kaiba looked at Mokuba not getting it. Seconds later he finally caught on and chuckled, "Of course not. It's Serenity. Her mom is out of town and she needs a place to stay."
"Oh, ok. I'm going to try to get some sleep. Hopefully I won't have the same nightmare." Mokuba snuggled down into his blue covers and held his stuffed Blue Eyes tightly against his chest, "Good night, Big Brother!"
Kaiba walked over and gave Mokuba a small hug and placed a gently kiss on his forehead, "Good night Mokuba." He turned to leave.
Mokuba sat up, "Seto?"
Kaiba turned around, "What's wrong little brother?"
"Nothing, I just want you to tell Serenity that I'm glad she chose to come live with us for a while."
Kaiba smiled, "All right, I will. Good night Mokuba."
"Good night Seto."
Kaiba left the room and walked back down stairs. He entered the living room to find Serenity looking at a small photo album. Tears were clearly visible in her hazel eyes, "Serenity are you all right?"
Serenity quickly closed the photo album and tried to erase the evidence of her tears, "I'm fine..."
Kaiba wasn't convinced. He walked over, sat down and than gathered her into his arms. Her tears had started again, "Shh, don't cry." he stroked her hair and gently rocked her back and forth.
After what seemed like hours, Serenity's tears stopped, "I'm sorry about that. It's just I didn't realize I had packed this photo album." she reached over and handed it to Kaiba.
Kaiba took it and opened it to the first page. It was a picture of Serenity and Joey playing on the playground. The next one was of Serenity dressed up in her mom's clothes. After flipping through pages of the two sibling together, Kaiba's eye was caught by a certain picture. It was definitely the most recent one too. It was a picture of Serenity and Joey right after Battle City. Serenity and Joey were in an embrace to tight you'd think you would need the jaws of life to force them apart. Serenity's head was resting against Joey's chest and Joey had his arms wrapped tightly around his little sister...(for a better view, the embrace is kind of like the same one these two had at the end of Joey's Betrayal, right after Serenity took her bandages off).
"This was taken two weeks before I had to go back home with my mom. But than she realized how unhappy I was being so far away from my brother that she somehow managed to get transferred here. A few weeks later, I got a call from the hospital and well...I think you know the rest." Serenity was trembling.
Kaiba sighed deeply, "I am so sorry, Serenity." he leaned over and gently kissed her cheek.
Serenity turned her head till her lips met his own in a sweet kiss. She wrapped her arms around in shoulders, creating a tight embrace between the two. In between the kiss, Kaiba could feel Serenity trembling a little bit. It was obvious she was in need of some comfort. They kept up the kissing for a while till Kaiba's watch beeped. It was already 1:00 in the morning. He reached over and turned it off.
"I think we should try and get some sleep." Kaiba said.
Serenity nodded, "All right." she began to stand up but fell back when Kaiba grabbed her arm, "What are you doing?"
"Let's just stay here." he quietly explained.
Serenity smiled now getting it, "Ok." she sunk back down into the black leather sofa and leaned against Kaiba, "Good night."
Kaiba picked up a blanket that was laying on the floor and draped it over them, "Good night, Serenity."
