"Love is Sweet Salvation"
****************************************
YAY! I have returned from my VERY fun trip! I am here to post yet another chapter of my story. Sm-Candy, you know that I never leave something hanging like that! Of COURSE I'll work Noa into the plot! He will play a pretty important roll with the help of yet another familiar character from "Love is a Battlefield". Anyways, that will start in this chappie! Enjoy! By the way, there are hints at Joey/Mai.
SORRY!: I didn't explain the crate thing! On episode 78. Kaiba saves Te`a by knocking out the dude with the button thing.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or any of it's characters. I only own the plot of this story.
****************************************
Yugi jumped up in down in complete excitement, "We're going to a party! We're going to a party!!! Kaiba has a pool, right? I sure hope so! I wanna swim and eat and then swim some more!"
The others giggled at the child-like boys happiness. Yugi was like the baby of the group when it came to parties or size, but when it cam to guts and teamwork, Yugi was the biggest of them all. He stood up for what was right. You could call him the 'leader of the little people'.
Joey just watched his friend bounce in glee. He too was a little excited. Seto Kaiba was mega-rich and was bound to have a huge pool, not to mention some great chow to go along with it. Maybe Joey would take Mai. Joey would drool if he ever saw her in a bikini. Yeah, he'd DEFINITELY invite Mai to Kaiba's little get together.
Now that he thought about it, he was supposed to bring Serenity. She would be wearing a little bikini to the pool...in front of Kaiba! There was no way that Joey would let them go off on their own again. Not while he was around! He thought about getting Serenity a one-piece to wear instead...but it would probably embarrass her.
Tristan was still pretty ticked. Kaiba had taken what should have been his! Of course, there was always Miho...but she liked Bakura! Most of the girls at Domino high liked Bakura. He could have any of them that he wanted. Bakura was cute, heck, even Tristan liked the bishounen. Maybe he didn't NEED Serenity or Miho. Maybe all of this was a sign to tell Tristan that he was supposed to love men. Hey, since men like Bakura were around, who needed women!
The doorbell rang, interrupting both boys thoughts about the recent events. Since Tristan didn't even attempt to answer his own door, Te`a jumped up and opened it. It was Mai. She had brought Serenity with her. Joey was a bit surprised.
"Hey Mai. How did ya know I was here? I neva told ya I was gonna be goin ova ta Tristan's house, did I?" Joey scratched his head in utter confusion.
Mai chuckled, "No, but considering how much you two knuckle-heads hang out, I just assumed I'd find you here." She winked and then peered into Tristan's living room. The others were curiously staring at the blonde woman at the door, "Well, what do ya know? The whole gang is here!" Mai happily left Serenity's side and ran to join the others.
Serenity just watched as Mai took of. She couldn't look at her brother, not now...Not after she had lied to him. It was a sin in her mind. She felt a gentle hand rest on her shoulder.
"Ya know," Joey kept his voice at a whisper as the others carried on in gleeful conversation, "I can kinda undastand why ya would wanna stay da night wit moneybags-I mean Kaiba. Ya like him and I know dat there isn't anything dat I can do about it. I just hope that yer mature enough ta make da right choices...for yer sake." Serenity turned to her brother as a single, silver tear slid down his cheek. He quietly left the Taylor household.
Mai was caught up in a shopping conversation, but she noticed the blonde teen leave, tears in his eyes, "Hey guys? I've gotta go. I have things that I need to take care of."
She marched out once everyone had said their goodbyes. Yeah, she had things to take care of alright. Those things included a certain blonde bishounen. Of course, she'd have to find Joey in order to talk to him. As she sat inside her blue convertible, she contemplated where Joey would go.
Mai started the engine and backed out of the driveway, "Now let's see...if I'm going to find Joey, I'm gonna have to think like him." She rode down the street, "How am I supposed to STOP thinking?!?!" She laughed at the thought of Joey's stupidity. She never admitted it, but she always found it to be...cute.
Mai Valentine shook away the silly thought and headed toward the Wheeler residence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Taylor's, the others had finally realized Joey had left. Serenity convinced the others not to follow him. Joey needed some time and some space to himself for awhile. The other reluctantly agreed to it, and quickly returned to talking about the upcoming party at the Kaiba Mansion.
Serenity didn't join in. She sat in a small chair by a lonesome window, away from everyone else. She had wronged her brother...betrayed his trust in her. Everything was going downhill. Ever since she and Kaiba had started going out...
Serenity shook the thought from her head. She wasn't going to allow herself to blame all of this on Seto Kaiba. This was her fault. Kaiba had given her the choice to go home, but she chose to lie to her brother and stay with the man she loved. Love hurt sometimes, and to think that this was only the beginning...at least she hoped that the relationship was going to last forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning at the Kaiba Mansion, maids, butlers, cooks, and professional decorators were running through every hall of th building making sure that every floor was mopped, every rug and bit of carpet was cleaned and vacuumed, all silver was polished, every window was shining, and everything was in it's proper place.
Seto Kaiba lugged himself down the stairs for his breakfast it was only 10:25AM after all. He was still in his adorable, blue, silky pajamas. They matched the sheets on his bed. He didn't wear slippers, they had always looked a bit odd on him. So Kaiba hobbled on down the steps with bare feet.
It was obvious that he hadn't fully awaken. His cerulean eyes were only half-way opened and his hair was a complete disaster. Little bits of brown fluff jutted out from many spots on his head. He was nearly knocked over when an eager Mokuba raced down passed him to get his already-finished breakfast.
The elder Kaiba arrived to find his raven-haired brother waiting for him. Mokuba had his eyes opened wide, a wild grin stretched across his face. His hair was it's normal mess and his arms were rested on either side a an un-touched plate of food. For breakfast, they had bacon, eggs, buttered toast, and hash browns, ALL cooked to perfection.
As Kaiba took a seat and smiled at his only family, Mokuba immediately dug in. As Kaiba picked up one slice of bacon, Mokuba burped to signal that he had finished devouring his entire meal. The younger Kaiba chugged down his glass of milk and hopped from his seat. The brunette laughed a little and commenced to down his full plate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noa's blue eyes shined as he stared at the intruder. He had been minding his own business, looking out the window that faced the back yard of the Kaiba Mansion, when a certain ghost-child barged in. Little Seto had an adorable smile paste across his gentle face that taunted Noa. Both looked to be of the same age and height.
Noa glared at the other boy, "What are you doing in MY room? Do you not understand the words "keep out"?"
Little Seto giggled and smirked, "Oh come on Noa, you can't seriously want to be all alone. Listen, Seto Kaiba has some pretty dirty thoughts on mind."
Noa smiled. He couldn't pass the thought of the rich know-it-all being a sick pervert. Obviously the younger Seto was going somewhere with this claim, so he sat on his bed and prepared for a plan.
Little Seto paced the room, "We're both ghosts and that is why I figured that we could work together. With our wonderful skills we can watch over Seto and Serenity when the party begins at exactly 2pm this very day. Are you with me?" He looked over at Noa like an army Sargent.
Noa bounced and giggled with excitement. He never liked his step brother anyways. It was going to be too much fun ruining his plans! "Alright!" Noa agreed, "You and I will take out your older self!"
Little Seto's eyes grew wide, "We aren't going to KILL him!!!"
Noa laughed nervously, "No, heh heh, of course not..."
Both boys shook hands. Little Seto pulled a piece of paper out from his back pocket, "Since I'm actually a part of Seto Kaiba, I know each and every thought that runs through his mind! I know every move he plans to make and I have ways to counter each one written on this paper! You ready for this?"
They unfolded the paper and Little Seto began an explanation of each note that he had made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaiba had finished breakfast and gotten dressed. He checked on Kaiba Corporation stocks and updated the website. He made a phone call to the executive office building to let them know that he wasn't going to be there that day.
"Alright," Kaiba began, "Everything is taken care of. The company is under control, the house is spotless, the cooks are standing by, and it is 2 O'clock. Now all I need to do is wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noa smirked evilly as the clock struck 2pm, "Let the games begin..."
