Plans Together

Ch. 5-Common Ground

Mokuba's Room

"The perfect plan, the perfect result and the perfect future, I'm a genius!!!" Mokuba laughed falling on his bed, "Unless Seto goes and ruins it all." He pouted. Yet again he pulled out his binder and started checking off things and circled his main goal.

Get Serenity and Seto to sleep in the same room.

"Well that was easier than I thought it would be. But to put them in the lovin' feelin' mood will be hard. Luckily I'm a Kaiba!" Mokuba grinned evilly. Oh luck and intelligence.

At Joey's House

The gang was sitting on the floor in the living room a pizza and board game spread out around them.

"Hey where's Serenity?" Tristan asked looking for the 'love of his life.'

"Oh, she's outa town wit her volunteer group." Joey said shrugging lightly. His friend's obsession with his little sister was a bit unnerving, but he tried to ignore it at all costs.

"She volunteers? Where?" Tea asked turning towards Joey wide-eyed.

"I dunno, heck I didnin even know she volunteered." Joey shrugged.

"You didn't ask her when she called to tell you?" Yugi asked with wide eyes. Joey could be too trusting at times and it really got him in problems.

"Naw, she didnin even call. It was her sponca. Ya know." Joey replied.

"You should have asked for a phone number or at least where they were going, hun. For safety reasons, I mean the girl can't even go out with a boy but you have no problem when she is off with a group. If you're going to be protective, be protective all the time." Mai said flipping her hair and placing a perfectly manicured hand on Joey's arm.

"I'll call her if it will make you all happy. She does have a cell phone." Joey said walking to the phone and dialing his sister's number. He trusted her judgement and didn't see the need to harp on her every action. Unless her actions were with a boyfriend, but that wasn't lack of trust in his sister. He just knew what boys were like... he is one after all.

~Living Room at Kaiba Mansion

"You have an absolutely beautiful house Mr. Kaiba." Juliet said squealing with glee.

"I'm surprised it doesn't have more of a women's touch though." Mr. Yogoshiro said.

"Well, we have only been married a short while. Heck, I'm still trying to find my way around." Serenity laughed just when the tune of 'I miss you' by Blink 182 went off. Everyone looked at Serenity as she fumbled with her pocket, "Oh, it's Joey! I have to take this. I'm sorry. I'll be back in a minute." She apologized as she walked out of the room.

"Brother." Seto answered to Mr. Yogoshiro's unanswered question.

Hallway

"Hey Joey!" Serenity answered.

"Hey baby sista. I'm glad yas okay! I was a wonderin' where this volunteer group of yas was goin'." Joey said.

"Oh...hehehe...um..." 'So that is what Mokuba told him.' Serenity thought, "To help some children." It wasn't that far from the truth. Mokuba was a child and she was helping him... kind of.

"Okay, where can I reach ya sis?" Joey asked.

"My cell phone. Well I got to go. I'm sorry to cut this short." Serenity clicked the end button. 'I'm so glad that is over with.' She thought as she walked up to Mokuba's room. She heard evil laughter coming from inside as she knocked.

"Come in." Said a startled voice as a shuffling of papers could be heard.

Serenity walked in to find Mokuba on his stomach pushing something under his bed quickly. "What's that?" She asked motioning to what Mokuba was pushing under his bed.

"What? Nothing. What did you come here for?" Mokuba asked.

"Oh I just wondered how you got Joey to believe that I was out of town." Serenity answered sitting on the edge of his bed.

"That was easy!" Mokuba smiled, "I called the butler to tell him to get rooms ready and clothes for you and to call your brother and tell him that you were out of town volunteering. That's always a good excuse."

"You are really a Kaiba...In the good way." Serenity smiled ruffling Mokuba's hair.

"What about my brother? Is he a Kaiba in the good or bad way?" Mokuba said making Serenity move uncomfortably.

"Sometimes I forget he's acting." Serenity said, "Well I have to get back down to the Yogoshiro's." She said as she got up and waved goodbye.

The Living Room

Seto and the Yogoshiro's were getting up when Serenity walked back in.

"What's going on?" She asked looking confused.

"Oh, sweetheart, I was about to show the Yogoshiro's to their room." Seto responded.

"Oh, are you two tired already?" Serenity asked.

"Yes, oh but we will have a wonderful time tomorrow, won't we Serenity?" Juliet giggled.

"Yes." Serenity smiled. They all walked up a winding staircase, to a floor with two bedrooms on it.

Seto opened the door on the right and said, "This will be your room. I hope you find it to your satisfaction. Ours is across the hall if you need anything."

"Thank you for your hospitality." Mr. Yogoshiro said as he and his wife walked into their room and shut the door.

"Ummm...Kaiba, where am I going to sleep?" Serenity asked in a low whisper.

Seto opened his door and groaned, "With me."

She gasped, "What?!? I am not sleeping in the same room as you."

"Actually you are sleeping in the same bed as me." Seto responded shutting the door and locking it.

"No way!" Serenity snapped.

"Well, I don't know what to do. I was planning to give you the room across the hall, but Mokuba was the one that set the rooms up and this is how he did it." Seto sighed taking off his shoes.

"Man, fine." Serenity sighed, "I'm going to get that Mokuba. So where are the clothes that were supposed to be delivered for me?" Serenity asked.

"In the closet." Seto said pointing to an attached room.

Serenity walked into it, "Wow this is bigger than my room! These clothes are amazing." Serenity walked out with wide eyes and a pile of clothes in her arms, "Where can I change?"

"Bathroom." Seto pointed at another room.

"Darn! This is bigger than my apartment!" Serenity exclaimed causing Seto to smile. He changed into his pajamas. A few minutes later Serenity came out in pink satin pajamas just her size, "How in the world did Mokuba know my sizes?" She asked in amazement.

"I have all the information on everyone that was in the tournament, even observers." Seto answered getting a book off his shelf.

"Wow that is creepy. How much do you know?" She asked.

"Oh just sizes, ages, favorite movie, food, music, etcetera." Seto responded.

"Okay fine what is my favorite song?" Serenity smirked.

"Rock fist by Thousand Foot Krutch." Seto answered without even hesitating.

"Right, wait did you memorize them all too?" Serenity asked.

"Um.." Truth was he had memorized hers the first day on the blimp. She was different and the mutt's sister. Anything he could possibly use to bother Joey was fair game in his opinion. He lived by that saying about love and war, "No, I just know yours because I'm supposed to be married to you."

"Oh yeah." She replied scratching the back of her head, "What are you reading?"

"The Client by John Grisham." Seto answered.

"Oh! That book is so good, but the movie was amazing." Serenity said.

"What are you talking about? The movie was lacking on so many levels." Seto put down his book and turned to her.

"Oh no, Susan Surandan was just amazing. Oh but the best Grisham movie was Runaway Jury." Serenity sighed.

"That movie wasn't even anything like the book." Seto said.

"I know that the book was about the tobacco industry and the movie was about the gun industry, but it was still a phenomenal movie. And John Cusack." Serenity replied smiling slightly.

"True the movie was good, but the book was and will always be better." Seto purposely ignored the John Cusack comment. He would never understand the female obsession with him or Colin Firth. George Clooney he could understand though. They carried on their discussion into the early morning hours.
