Karria: hey everyone! (looks around) hello?
Akkadia: (calls from inside the clothes hamper) I'm hiding from Yami.
Yugi: (walking on the ceiling) Akkadia only owns the story idea. She doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or the song Two in a Million by Sclub7.
Karria: enjoy the fic!
A/N: Ok, I'm going to attempt to write a song fic. This chapter is going to be long though so I hope you all enjoy it!
Chapter 13
Serenity looked out the window and watched the other cars drive by. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the car door slamming shut. They were at the hospital entrance. Serenity got out of the limo and followed Seto and Mokuba through the automatic doors.
Kaiba walked up to the front desk, "Excuse me, can Joey Wheeler have visitors at this time?"
The lady looked up from her computer, "Are you friend or family?"
Serenity walked up, "I'm his sister and these two are our family's closes friends."
"Very well, he's in room 281."
Kaiba led Serenity and his brother to the spoken location and knocked. After hearing an unintelligible answer, he opened the door, "Hey."
Joey looked up from the book he was reading, "Oh, hey!" he marked his page and placed the book on his food table.
Serenity walked over to her brother and enfolded him into an embrace, "How are you feeling?" she asked after letting go.
"Terrible, I can't wait to get out of here!" he leaned back against his bed and groaned in frustration.
"How long are they keeping you?" Kaiba asked.
"I don't have the slightest clue! The doctors keep ignoring my questions about it." Joey turned to look at his sister and found a familiar expression painted on her face, "Serenity, what's wrong?"
Serenity immediately put on a fake smile, "Nothing, it's just...mom's gone back home for work till Saturday and I'm staying at Seto's till then." She glanced at Kaiba telling him to keep his mouth shut.
Joey smiled, "Is that what you're so upset about? I have no problem with that." He turned to face Kaiba, "Just as long as you treat my sister with respect."
Kaiba smirked, "Joey the day I disrespect Serenity is the day I give you all three of my Blue Eyes. Either way it's never going to happen." He looked at the food table, "So what book are you reading?"
Joey reached over and picked the book up, "Oh, it's called 'The Dragon Prince' (A/N: my story I own!) its actually pretty good. I'm about half way through I think." He placed the book back on the table, "So, what you up to after this?"
Serenity looked at Kaiba, "Well..."
"We were going to go get some pizza, right Seto?" Mokuba spoke up before either of the other two could get a word in.
"Yeah, that's it. Thank you Mokuba I almost forgot." Kaiba said. He was grateful for his brother's sudden outburst because I had no idea what they were going to do, "Is that all right Serenity?"
Serenity's answer was the sound of her stomach grumbling. She blushed and tucked her brown hair behind her ear.
Joey chuckled, "I'd take that as a yes. The appreciation of good food runs in the Wheeler family, right, sis?"
Serenity nodded still blushing.
Just then they heard a knock on the door. Joey answered and Dr. Hewlard walked in, "Joey I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, tonight is your last night with us."
Joey almost leaped for joy but yielded is celebration, "What's the bad news, doc?"
Dr. Hewlard sighed deeply, "If you don't have anywhere to go, I'm afraid we'll have to put you in an orphanage."
Kaiba stepped up, "Wait a minute. I already told you that I would take him in."
Dr. Hewlard slapped himself in the forehead, "Oh, yes that's right. I completely forgot. But it's Joey's decision, mind you."
Serenity's face lit up, "Joey if you come stay with us, you and I could be together!"
Joey smiled, "I think I'll take up on your offer Kaiba. That is if I am still welcome."
Kaiba smiled, "Of course. Besides, I know how much you want to be with your sister. Don't forget, you're not the only big brother around here."
"Seto, I'm getting hungry!" Mokuba spoke up after being quiet.
"Well, you guys better go then." Joey said. He reached over and picked up his book again.
"I'll call you when he can be picked up." Dr. Hewlard ushered the group out to the hospital lobby.
"All right." Kaiba led Mokuba and Serenity out to the limo and got in, "The Arcade." He said in a toneless voice.
They arrived at the arcade and walked in. As usual the air was filled with the sounds of sirens, lasers, gunshots, and loud music. After finding an empty booth, Mokuba looked hungrily at the video games. He turned to his brother and presented the chibi eyes. Kaiba gave in and handed Mokuba a ten- dollar bill. Mokuba ran off to the change machine and was soon lost in the world of video games.
Serenity watched him and chuckled, "He must really love playing those games. Almost as much as Joey."
Kaiba smiled, "Yeah, he always knows how to make me give in. But one of these days those eyes are not going to work."
Serenity laughed, "Yeah, sure."
"Hey I'm Jo, what can I get ya?" a waitress walked over pad and pen in hand.
"Um, we'll have a large pepperoni." Kaiba said, "That ok with you?"
Serenity nodded, "I'd like a Diet Coke to drink."
"Make that two Diet Cokes and one Sierra Mist."
Jo jotted down the order and walked to the back. Five minutes later the drinks came and fifteen minutes after that came the pizza, "I'll just put it on your tab."
Serenity took a piece of pizza, "I take it you've been here before."
Kaiba blushed, "Hey, Mokuba!" Mokuba came running and dug into the pizza, "Slow down, Mokuba, the pizza isn't going anywhere."
Mokuba answered with a mouth full of chewed up pizza, "I knew, bub..." he quickly swallowed, "I know but I'm hungry!" After finishing his third slice Mokuba wiped his face with his napkin, "Seto, would it be all right if I spent the night on Connors?"
"I don't know Mokuba."
"Please, Connor's mom said it's ok and she'll take me to school!" Mokuba once again brought out the secret weapon making his brother once again cave in, "Thank you!" he gave Seto a hug and ran over to tell his friend.
Serenity chuckled, "Well I guess its just you and me tonight. Want to do anything special?"
"Well, why don't we go to that new place; 'The Dragon' (A/N: corny, I know but I couldn't think of anything else)?" Kaiba suggested after swallowing the last of his final slice of pizza.
Serenity shrugged, "All right."
Kaiba stood up, "Let me get Mokuba quick and we'll be out of here." he walked over to his brother and returned empty handed, "Connor's mother is going to drop him off at the mansion to pick up his stuff." Kaiba led Serenity out of the arcade to find the limo nowhere in sight. Kaiba pulled out his cell. After a few rings Johnson picked up. It turns out that Johnson was caught in really heavy traffic and wasn't sure when he would be at the arcade. Kaiba turned his phone off in frustration, "Great..."
Serenity walked up to him, "What's the matter?"
Kaiba turned to face her, "How would you feel about walking home?"
Serenity thought of something and smiled, "Do I have a choice?"
"No, Johnson's stuck in traffic and he's-what is so funny?" Kaiba looked at Serenity who was now laughing so hard her face was going red and tears were forming in her brown eyes.
After quite a few gasps for breath, Serenity managed to answer him, "In case you didn't notice, I was standing next to you the whole time. I heard everything." her laughter took over once again.
Kaiba just shook his head, "Come on let's go." The two of them headed back to the mansion and both jumped into the shower.
Serenity stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She walked into her room and looked for her outfit but found an empty bed, "Oh no!" she suddenly remembered her clothes were in the limo. After thinking about it Serenity decided to wear her jeans again and her violet angel wings shirt. She pulled a brush through her damp brown hair and walked down to the living room. She picked up one of the magazines sitting the coffee table and lazily flipped through it. A loud bonging echoed through out the spacious living room and Serenity looked at the clock to find it had struck 7:00.
Kaiba walked down the stairs dressed in black pants and a sapphire blue shirt with a black trench coat to complete the outfit, "You ready?" He led Serenity out of the mansion to the waiting limo, "The Dragon." Johnson didn't even hesitate. The limo took off and in a matter of ten minutes a building came into view. Kaiba got out and Serenity followed, "I'll call you when we'll need you to pick us up." Johnson nodded and drove off. Kaiba walked into the club with Serenity tailing behind him. After a few minutes of searching he found an empty table near a stage. The two of them walked over and sat down. After ordering something to drink, Kaiba and Serenity watched people try to act like professional singers by singing karaoke.
"I would never do that." Serenity whispered to Kaiba, "Never."
"Ok, folks its time for tonight's karaoke challenge drawing. Each chair in the club has a number engraved on the back in gold letters. If your number is called you are challenged to come up here and perform one of three songs." Said a guy with a nametag that read Tom.
Serenity quickly turned around to find her number to be 32. She immediately began to pray, "Not 32, not 32..."
"And tonight's number is...32!"
Serenity started looking around for a way to escape. When she spotted one though, she was too late. Tom walked over and led her to the stage, "I can't do this, I can't sing."
"Don't worry, you'll do fine. What's your name?" Tom asked.
"Se-Serenity." her voice was shaking.
Tom smiled, "Well, Se-Serenity, here is the list of songs. Choice wisely once you pick a song you can't change it."
Serenity looked at the screen to find three songs listed. Beautiful by Christina Aguliera (sp I know, sorry), Breathe by Faith Hill, and Two in a Million by Sclub7. Serenity pressed the last choice and slowly removed the microphone from its stand.
Out of all the boys, you're not like the others
From the very first day, I knew we'd be lovers
In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire
Would I declare to you, your love takes me higher
Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone
They shone a light, and brought us together
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Kaiba watched in amazement. He never knew Serenity could sing like that.
Serenity smiled and kept singing.
It's a crazy world, where everythin's changin'
One minute your up, and the next thing you're breakin'
When I lose my way, and the skies they get heavy
It'll be ok, the moment you're with me
No-one would have guessed we'd be standing strong today
Solid as a rock, and perfect in every way
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Forever as one
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Serenity held the final note for a few counts before releasing. The entire club was silent. The silence was shattered by a roaring applause causing Serenity to blush for about the millionth time that day. She placed the microphone back on the stand and returned to her seat hiding her face in her hands the whole time.
"That was amazing! I never knew you could sing that well! Does Joey know?" Kaiba was still clapping for her.
Serenity looked up, "I didn't even know I could sing that well. I'm just as surprised as you are." She admitted.
The Tom walked over to Serenity, "If that is what you call not being able to sing, then I'm from Mars! Congratulations, you have won tonight's challenge." He handed Serenity a check made out for $50.
Serenity looked at the check in her hand, speechless. She had never held that much money at one time before...
