Chapter 15

"You know, before the divorce, my brother always told me that everyone has their own star to guide them." Serenity's eyes began searching the sky. Seconds later, she found what she was looking for, "Look there." she pointed to two lonely stars, "Those stars are mine and Joey's." A smile appeared on her face, "I made a wish on my star once and it came true."

Kaiba looked up to see the two spoken stars and could of sworn he saw Serenity's star shimmer brightly for a second, "What did you wish for? Since it already came true I think its safe to say." He looked at her curiously.

Serenity sighed and looked down at her shoes, "I wished that my brother and I would be together again someday." She looked at her watch and gasped, "Oh my God, do you know what time it is?"

Kaiba looked at his watch and echoed her gasp. It was almost midnight, "I never realized it was so late. Well you know the old saying, time flies by when you're having fun." the comment earned him a small chuckle from Serenity, "Come on, let's go home." The two of them head towards the Kaiba Mansion. The walk took about twenty minutes but neither of them complained. Kaiba walked up to the gate and stated his name in a little microphone. The gate swung open the two of them walked into the mansion. Kaiba unlocked the front door and stopped dead in his tracks at the sight in front of him...

"Welcome home, Kaiba. I had a feeling you would drop by sooner or later." It was Kevin but he wasn't alone. Standing next to him was the same girl from the hospital and the bar, "Oh, I think you've already met my assistant, Donna." he turned to her, "Could you please bring out the surprise for Kaiba?"

Donna left the room and soon returned with two more people. It was Mokuba and another woman. They were both tied up and gagged, "Move it." she shoved the two towards Kaiba causing them to fall.

Kaiba immediately rushed to his brother's side and took the gag from his mouth, "Mokuba, are you all right?" His gaze shifted to Kevin knowing that he couldn't trust the bastard.

Serenity recognized her mother immediately and ran to her, "Mom!" she removed the gag and started to untie the ropes. She didn't get very far though. Before she knew what was happening, Serenity felt herself being dragged away from her mom by her hair. She screamed in pain and turned to see Donna dragging her towards her Kevin, "Leave me alone!" she screamed. Serenity was answered with a slap in the face. A metallic taste seemed to flood her mouth and she knew immediately that one of her teeth had been knocked out. Serenity waited till her mouth was full of blood then spit it out at Donna's face. This caused Donna to let got of Serenity's hair. She ran out of the house. Serenity immediately ran back to her mother but never made it. The sound of a gun shot filled the air and Serenity fell to the ground...

Akkadia: I think I'll stop here

Readers/Reviewers: *a holding a sledgehammer*

Akkadia: geez, can't anyone take a joke?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaiba's head turned towards the sound of the gunshot and saw Serenity fall. Without thinking he ran towards Kevin who was still holding out the gun and attacked him. The two were soon rolling on the floor. Kaiba trying desperately to get the gun out of Kevin's grasp. Somehow he manages to do it. One he had the gun in his possession, Kaiba pointed it at a now trembling Kevin, "You bastard..." he cocked the gun and placed his finger near the trigger, "I should shoot you right now..."

"Wait!" Everyone in the room turned to see Joey standing in the doorway, "Let me." he walked over, took the gun and pointed it at his step-father, "Do you remember telling me that I was too weak? That I amounted to nothing? Well I've got news for you, you bastard. I have all the strength I need." He placed the barrel of the gun right against, Kevin's temple.

"Well, if you're going to kill me, then get it over with. You are nothing you worthless piece of trash. When I lectured you I didn't do it hard enough. You're still a weak little bastard, ain't ya?" Kevin immediately shut up as Joey pressed the gun hard against his sweaty temple...

Joey held the gun firmly in place, "Kaiba check on my sister and my mom. I've got some unfinished business to take care of." He removed the gun and kneed his dad in the nose with his knee. Once he was on the ground, Joey began kicking Kevin in the ribs. After about five kicks he stopped and stepped back, "Who's the weak one now?" Without waiting for an answer, Joey hit Kevin over the head with the handle of the gun. Once Joey was sure that Kevin was unconsciousness, he ran to the phone and dialed 911. After explaining the situation he hung up and rushed to his sister's side, "Serenity! Oh my God!"

"Joey, go help your mom, I'll take care of Serenity." Kaiba noticed red on her violet shirt and lifted it up to discover the bullet wound, "Oh God it went almost all the way through. Mokuba, go get some clean towels!" the wound was starting to gush out blood. When Mokuba returned with the towels, Kaiba took one and placed it on the bleeding wound and pressed down hard, "Go stand outside and wait for the ambulance!" Mokuba obeyed and ran outside. Minutes later they could hear sirens wailing. The paramedics came in with a stroller and they loaded Serenity onto it.

"That is the guy who shot her." Joey pointed to a still unconsciousness Kevin, "He's our step-father. I'm Joey, her brother." He turned to Kaiba, "Could you keep an eye on my mom while I go with the medics?"

Kaiba nodded, "Yeah." he watched as they left the mansion. A police officer soon came in, "Right there." Kaiba pointed. he watched as the officer picked up Kevin and walked out. He looked down at Jessica, "Hey, you all right?"

Jessica sat up and looked around, "Where's Kevin? Where's Joey and Serenity?"

"Kevin's been arrested, Serenity's on her way the hospital and Joey is with her. Jessica, I hate to tell you this but, Serenity's been shot." Kaiba waited for a response and got one, "I'm going to the hospital right now. I'll give you a ride. Mokuba, come on let's go."

Jessica nodded and followed the two Kaiba brother's out to the limo. In a matter of ten minutes the three of them were walking through the hospital entrance doors, "Has there been any news on Serenity Wheeler?" she asked the lady at the front desk.

"Are you a relative, miss?" the lady answered with a bored tone.

"I'm her mother!" Jessica screamed.

"Mrs. Wheeler?" It was Dr. Hewlard.

"Dr. how is she?" Jessica asked.

Dr. Hewlard sighed deeply, "This isn't easy for me to say but..."

Akkadia: Ok, I am going to stop there and no one is going to stop me!

Karria: *sweatdrop* Ok, that didn't make any sense.

Akkadia: Well the reason I was stuck with you doesn't either.

Karria: *sticks out tongue* 3 reviews= chapter 16!
