"Colleen-"
"Caroline sir." The lady at the front desk corrected, not even bothering to look up.
"Caroline, I want you to find this girl something to do, just make her answer phones or something." Kaiba said, waving away the name and walking to the elevator.
"Sir, your personal secutary quit today, said that she was tired of you messing around." Said Caroline.
Kaiba paused mid stride. "What in the hell is that suppose to mean?" He yelled.
Caroline's head shot up. 'I'm just telling you what she told me to say!" She said putting up her hands. "Don't shoot the messenger!"
"You bet I'll shoot the messenger! You're fi-" Kaiba started but Serenity pinched him ad on the arm.
"Kaiba, give her a break!" She hissed.
"Why should I?" Kaiba asked, not bothering to keep his voice down. "Why?" He glared.
"It's not her fault!" Serenity whispered back.
Kaiba glared at her, but didn't answer, she sighed and walked to the elevator, when Serenity didn't follow he snapped at her. "Well come on Scamp, what are you waiting for?"
Serenity rolled her eyes and followed Kaiba. Caroline winked at Serenity, causing her to pretend to vomit. Caroline laughed. They got in the elevator, Kaiba jammed the button for the top floor and glared at Serenity, his gravity defying trench coat surprisingly flat. "You know, you need to cool down, ever tried Yoga?"
"No." Kaiba answered.
"Me neither, but it's suppose to be relaxing." Serenity shrugged, and the gell into oquard silence.
The evaluator stopped and Kaiba got out, not waiting to see if Serenity followed, which she did, of course. He reached his office and un-locked the door. "Just find a place to sit down and be quite." Kaiba growled, walking over to his desk where a computer lay waiting.
"Okay, I didn't get any sleep last night any ways." Serenity said, yawning and walking to the couch.
"What are you talking about you fell asleep twice?' Kaiba growled.
"No I was awake the whole time bud, the WHOLE time." Serenity said with a grin.
Kaiba actually blushed. "That's great." He muttered, starting to type at his computer.
"I thought it was." Serenity yawned, stretching out on a black leather couch. "Hey what's up with you and the color black?" She asked.
"It goes with every thing." Kaiba answered, not looking from his computer screen.
'That's not true, Joey gave me Black and bright purple wrapping paper once, ugh!" Serenity laughed.
'Well if you're smart it goes with every thing." Kaiba answered.
"What ever." Serenity's eye lids begn to waver, then drop and soon she was sleeping lightly on the couch.
Seto's POV
I kept looking over at her, watching her lips, her hair. The way she was sprawled on the couch. I tried to shake my head, clear my thought and get back to work. It didn't work. Ma n she was distracting even asleep, maybe even more so! I got up and stretched, my watch read about nood. Lunch was creeping it's way into my mind, I felt like the Mutt Joey-food food food food food food food food food food food!
"Scamp!" I said, sitting back down. Maybe if I got her out of here I could concentrate.
"Wha-what!" She asked, jumping awake.
I laughed, beside my self. "Go down and see if we can get some food." I said, not looking at her.
"Food!" She said excitedly.
I looked up, her hair was plastered to the side of her face, sticking out every where.
"Yes food." I answered laughing.
"What's so funny." She growled.
"Come here." I laughed.
She hesitated then walked over. I reached up and started to comb her hair out with my fingers. It was soft and thick, nice to the touch. She blushed. "Thanks." She reached up to fight a curl and touched my hand. She froze, then cautioned to work at the knot, her hand brushing mine.
I warped my fingers around it, pulling it away from her hair and entwining her fingers with mine. She stared for a moment, then pulled away. "What the hell!' She asked.
I started, not visibly but still........"You were making the knot bigger you fool." I snapped.
Her sprits seemed to fall. "Thanks sooooooo much." She glared. "What do you want to eat?"
"Pizza." I answered, letting go of her hand and starting to work again.
"Be right back." She said warily, walking towards the door.
I sighed and leaned back in my chair. What was this stupid girl doing to me! I had gotten three pages of work done in and hour! I made a mental note not to bring her to work ever again and started back to my computer. A few minutes later serenity walked back in carring a pizza. "Your royal highness?" She groweled.
"Go to hell." I snapped, taking a pice of pizza she offered me.
"You'd like that." Serenity snorted, eating a slice and sitting on the couch.
"As a matter of fact, yes I would." I answered.
"You're sure nice, you know that?" she asked, swollowing her pizza.
"I've been noted from my kindness." I answered. "That's sarcasim if you didn't know."
"WOW! I never thought I'd see they day, Seto Kaivba made a joke. A poor joke, but a joke." She claped he hands. "Bravo!"
"Why don't you leave me to work!" I yelled.
"Because you pulled me here!" Shje answered. "Trust me, I would leave you alone if you let me!"
The phoone rang. "WHAT!" I yelled into the reciver.
"Errm, Mr. Kaiba, there are some people here to see you." Said the lady.
"Tell them I'm busy!" I snapped.
"Uh, Mr. Kaiba it's your brother and his friends." She said quickly.
"THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU EVEN HAVE TO CALL ME THEN? LET HIM UP!!!!!!!" I yelled frustrated into the phone.
"Yes sir, right away sit!" The lady said. I slammed the phone back on the receiver.
"Temper tmper." Serenity muttered, starting her second slice of paper. "Do you have any scrach paper?"
"What do you need paper for?"
"You'll see." Serenity said, grinning.
I rolled my eyes and passed her a stack of old documents.
"Thanks." She got up and set the garbage can across from the couch. She sat back down and started to crumpled the paper, shooting for the garbage can.
I banged my head on the desk at the annoying crumpling sound. "SCAMP!"
"Bite me." She said, glaring at me and shooting a paper wad.
I took a deep breath and went back to my computer. A few minutes later the door to my office opened. Mokuba ran in at top speed and jumped on me. I fell backwards in my chair with a thump. "You're getting to old to be doing that." I grumbled and Mokuba got off me.
He rolled his eyes. "Hey Serenity." He said sitting on the couch arm and taking a piece of paper to join her game.
"Het Mokuba. Your brothers a stiff." Serenity said, glaring at me.
"Tell me something I don't know." Mokuba muttered, grinning at me.
"Hey Sis!" Came Joey's voice from the door way.
"Joey?" Serenity grinned waving. "What's up?"
"Just thought I'd come by and check on you." He shrugged. "Yami and yugi were taking Mokuba over so I joined them."
Yami and Yugi walked in and waved.
Dear lord in heaven! NO! What did I do to disserve this? All of them here, in my office! Waaaaaaa! "What are you all doing here?
"We came to say hi.' Yugi said shrugging.
"I'm trying to work."
"Seto! Come to the ice cream place with us!" Mokuba said.
"I don't like ice cream." I lied.
"Seto, give me a break." Mokuba said, rolling his eyes again.
"I have a tun of work to do, and it doesn't help with her around distracting me by talking every few seconds!" I pointed at Serenity.
"What the hell! I've been asleep for a hour. You woke me up to get you pizza!" Serenity said in defense, throwing a wad of paper at me.
"You snore." I lied.
"I do not, do I Joey?" Serenity turned to her brother.
"Serenity, maybe you should come with us, leave me Moneybags to work." Joey said.
"No way, MR. Moneybags is like albino, he needs to get out more. If he doesn't leave, I'll make in impossible for him to work!" Serenity said stubbornly.
Mokuba raised his eyebrows. "Riiight."
Serenity sat stubbornly in the same spot. "I swear, I'll make him do something either than work today!"
"Like lock you a closet?" I snarled.
"Well that's a start!" Serenity said shrugging.
"Serenity! Don't be a smart ass." Joey scolded.
"Joey!"
"I mean it kid, you start being a little nicer. I don't like Kiba either, but you're his guest!"
"Joey!" Serenity pouted again.
"Serenity Wheeler!" Joey snarled. "Did I raise you to act like this?"
"Did Kaiba's dad raise him to forget to pay his electric bills?"
"What?" Joey, Yugi, Yami, and Mokuba said at the same time.
"Seto, don't we own the electric company?" Mokuba asked.
I slammed my head down on the desk. "YES! IT WAS A FRICKEN POWER OUTAGE YOU STUPID GIRL!!" I yelled.
"What happened?" Joey asked.
"There was a power outage last night, I fell down the stairs looking for a blanket and Kaiba and I both got locked out of our rooms." Serenity said, matter-o-factly.
"Poor Serenity!" Yami muttered.
"You're telling me, I didn't get ANY sleep last night!" She raised her voice on the 'any' part. I blushed, she had something on me and she wasn't going to let it go.
"Scamp, just go with your brother the mutt and his stupid friends."
"Not uh Seto Kaiba, not unless you come too!" Serenity said.

Yami looked from Serenity to Kaiba and grinned, the wheels turning in his head.
/Yami?/
//Yes?//
/Am I missing something?/
//Not that I know of, but perhaps were watching a relationship bloom before our eyes? //
/*Snort* don't dare tell Joey that. But look at Seto, he's so, I don't know.......red/
//My point exactly//
/Do you think something happened last night? /
//Nothing Serenity couldn't handle, if that's what you're thinking Abio. //
/Just trying to make sure./
