Akkadia: (walks in) Wassup!
Karria: Oh, no.
Akkadia: (innocent look) what?
Karria: You got into the chocolate didn't you?
Akkadia: No, Yugi did.
Yugi: (somewhere off screen) Yeehaw!
Yami: AKKADIA I AM GOING TO PULVERIZE YOU!
Akkadia: see ya (runs off)
Karria: Oh sure leave me to do the disclaimer. Oh well, Akkadia, who is about to get her butt kicked, has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters. She only owns the story idea and Kevin (Serenity and Joey's father) so don't sue. On with the fic!
A/N: Ok, I'm really sorry for not updating this but like in my other stories, I was busy with finals. I also had brief writers block and I couldn't think straight anyway. I can't promise a good chapter but just know I tried. BTW Joey will be back in the story either this chapter or the next. But don't think he's out of the picture yet! Enjoy chapter 12
Chapter 12
Mokuba sat up groggily after hitting the snooze button on his alarm clock. Still half asleep the younger Kaiba slowly trudged through his morning routine: showering, dressing, brushing his teeth, etc. He looked up at the calendar and realized it was only Sunday. Since he was already up and ready, Mokuba decided to surprise his older brother by making breakfast for him. Being as quietly as he possibly could, Mokuba crept down the long staircase and sneaked into the kitchen. He paused just long enough to see Seto with Serenity wrapped tightly in his arms. A small smile appeared on his face. Before any of this happened, Mokuba had noticed his brother drifting further away from him. But with Serenity here, he could feel his older brother coming back. Mokuba went into the kitchen. He was debating on whether to make waffles or pancakes. Finally after about ten minutes of silent debating in his head, Mokuba decided to make pancakes. In under fifteen minutes, Mokuba had managed to whip up chocolate pancakes, (Akkadia: MMM!!! Karria: Stay away from the chocolate! Yami: Get back here!) sausages, bacon, orange juice, and coffee with extra sugar. He loaded all the food onto two trays and carefully carried them out two the sleeping couple. Mokuba waited for a few minutes to let the food cool off and to admire the mending that Serenity had managed to do without knowing it. Once he was certain the food had cooled off enough, he gently shook his brother awake, "Seto, Seto wake up. I made breakfast!"
Kaiba slowly opened his blue eyes and groaned, "Mokuba, what time is it?"
Mokuba looked at the grandfather clock across the room. The hour just struck 10, "Does that answer your question?"
The loud bonging of the clock echoed in Serenity's ears and she opened her eyes. Her nose was immediately filled with a sweet aroma, "Hmm, what smells so good?"
"My brother made breakfast." Kaiba answered. He carefully sat up and looked at the prepared meal. He took a bite of the pancake, chewed slowly then swallowed.
Mokuba was watching his brother, "Well?"
Kaiba smiled, "You've really outdone yourself this time, little brother." He took another bite and carefully sipped his hot coffee.
Mokuba smiled back, "How do you like it Serenity?"
"Ish, wealy goob!" Serenity quickly swallowed, "It's really good!" Once breakfast was over, Serenity offered to help do the dishes, "It's the least I can do for letting me stay."
Kaiba walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders, "You're our guest, Serenity."
Serenity turned around, "All right, but I don't want to be waited on hand and foot."
Mokuba laughed and carried the dirty dishes into the kitchen. He loaded them into the dishwasher then returned to the living room, "What are we going to do today, Seto?"
Kaiba looked at Serenity, "Would you like to do anything in particular?"
Serenity sighed, "I was hoping we could go visit my brother."
"Of course we can. We should let him know you're staying here so he doesn't get suspicious." Kaiba answered, "But first, why don't we take you shopping."
"Ok, but, I don't have any money."
Kaiba gently placed a kiss on her cheek, "I already told you not to worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
"All right, but let me get changed first." Serenity looked at the two brothers and Mokuba caught on before his brother.
"It's the second door to the left at the top of the stairs." Mokuba explained.
Serenity made her way to the said location and pulled out the other outfit she had packed. Light tan cargo pants, a white turtleneck and a dark green vest. In five minutes, she was ready to go. Serenity made her way downstairs and found Mokuba sitting on the leather couch reading a comic book, "Where's your brother?"
"He's up in his room getting ready." Mokuba put the comic book aside and looked up at Serenity, "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For bring my brother back to me. I wasn't sure if would have been able to bring him back myself." Mokuba answered.
Serenity was clearly confused, "What do you mean, Mokuba?"
"I'll explain later. In the meantime, let's go get you some new clothes."
At that moment, Kaiba walked up and placed his hand on Serenity's shoulder causing her to jump about five feet straight up, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
Serenity blushed a deep crimson but smiled, "Don't worry, Joey used to do that to me for fun." The three of them headed out to the limo.
Twenty minutes later they were cruising through downtown Domino, "Is there any particular store you would like to go to, Serenity?" Kaiba asked.
Serenity was looking out the window, "No, I'm not really into being stylish. I like my jeans and my turtlenecks. Well, I guess Wal-Mart will be all right."
Ten minutes later Johnson pulled into Wal-Mart. The three passengers got out of the limo and walked into the store, "The limo needs some gasoline sir." Johnson said.
Kaiba nodded, "Very well, get a full tank and charge it to my account. Try to be back here in an hour."
"Yes, sir." Johnson got into the limo and drove off.
Kaiba and Mokuba couldn't believe their eyes. Serenity had managed to select four outfits in less than twenty minutes. A pair of faded jeans, black turtleneck, and dark red vest; a pair of dark blue jeans, white turtleneck, and sapphire blue vest (same color as Kaiba's eyes to be exact); a blue jeans skirt, a white tank top and a blue jeans jacket; and finally black jeans, a black turtleneck, and a dark violet vest, "Wow, you are one skilled shopper!" Kaiba exclaimed. Mokuba still seemed to be in shock.
Serenity just shrugged, "My mom was always in a hurry whenever we went shopping to I had to be quick." she led her two companions to the checkout counter.
The clerk looked up at his next customer and smirked, "Hey cutie." he began checking out the items but his eyes never left Serenity, "Why don't I leave my phone number on your receipt?"
Kaiba was about to say something but Serenity stopped him, "Tell me," she looked at his name tag, "Josh, why don't you turn that obviously fake charm onto someone who actually gives a damn."
Josh just continued to smirk, "That will be $77.97, precious."
Kaiba handed Josh a credit card and waited impatiently for the annoying clerk to finish scanning it. Once the check out was complete, Kaiba led Serenity and Mokuba out to the limo, "What was that all about?"
Serenity blushed a deep crimson, "There were a lot of bastards like that where I grew up. So, I had to learn to defend myself from guys like that."
Karria: Ok, Akkadia stopped here for an unknown reason so, uhh, I guess.....
Yugi: *bouncing off the walls like a pinball* Review, review, review, review, review, review!
Karria: Uh, yeah, what he said. So 3 reviews= chapter 13!
