"Love is Sweet Salvation"
Woah...I actually updated. I shall try not to abandon any of my fanfics, but I do usually lack the motive to write new chapters. I have gotten back into fanfiction recently, reading some excellent fics that weren't ever finished. Then it reminded me of how I never finished "Love is Sweet Salvation" or "When You See The Light" or "Ankh of Despair". So here I am with yet another chapter. I'm going to begin heading towards a conclusion. On with the fic!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I do, however, own the plot of this fanfic.
Once again all eyes were fixed upon Seto Kaiba's bedroom floor. They all should have seen that coming. The one moment that their attention was diverted, the Millennium Rod disappeared. Bakura, however, stared at that single spot on the floor in utter confusion. He knew nothing about the incident with the one golden object and therefore saw no use in gawking.
The albino shifted side to side nervously, "Um, does anyone care to explain why the floor is so important? And Yugi, what on Earth do you mean when you say 'it's gone'?? What's gone?"
There was an awkward silence as they all looked to one another as if deciding who would explain. Breaking the silence, the ancient Pharaoh emerged from the puzzle and came face to face with the pale-skinned boy.
Yami sighed, "You remember the Millennium Rod that once belonged to Marik?" When he received a gentle nod, he continued, "Well, that rod is now in Kaiba's possession and it seems to have a mind of its own. Actually, it is much like your Millennium Ring Bakura." He glanced down at Bakura's chest as though to lay his eyes on the boys item, but it was nowhere to be seen, "Hm. It looks as though your ring likes to play the disappearing act as well." He switched back to the young, innocent Yugi.
Outside, the young CEO took a look at his watch. "Well, it's been awhile since I've heard a peep from those morons." He looked up at his bedroom window as if he expected to see them standing there, "I guess it's time to apologize to sweet Serenity and pretend I'm sorry for flattening her idiotic brother." He sighed as his pulled himself up from the chair and made his way to the back door.
Mokuba stopped what he was doing for a short moment only to see his brother shut the door. He mumbled quietly to himself, "Looks like someone is having trouble in paradise." He returned to his play.
Inside, the tall brunette silently climbed the stares, stopping in the long hall just outside of his own bedroom. Never had he thought that going into his own room would be such a task. Now he had to do the unthinkable. Seto Kaiba had to apologize.
Taking a deep breath, he walked inside, pasting a look of concern and regret upon his face to give his 'sorry talk' the ultimate effect.
Yet again, everyones eyes wondered to the teen who had just entered the room. Tristan and Te'a held onto Joey to keep the wild street kid from attacking the rich teen that had delivered that wicked punch to his face. Serenity turned to look away from Kaiba. She was upset with him and refused to even see his face.
Mentally smacking himself for punishing her brother in front of her, Kaiba went and sat next to her on his bed, "Serenity," His voice was unusually soft, it was as though he were speaking to Mokuba rather than Serenity Wheeler, "Listen, I overreacted when I let into your brother." This began to catch Serenity's attention. She turned to face him and the boy continued, "I can see that I have upset you with my violent actions and believe me, that is something that I cannot bear. Please Serenity, just believe me when I tell you that it won't ever happen again." His voice didn't drip with his usual sarcasm. He was being completely sincere.
Serenity blushed a light pink and hugged her love, "You're such a sweetie Seto! Of course I forgive you!" She smiled and even giggled a bit as she hugged her warm boyfriend.
Joey just sat still, fuming at how easy it was to win his sisters forgiveness.
It was a long while later. Mokuba's friends had all returned home and Yugi and the others stayed, playing video games with Mokuba, eating, talking, joking, just anything to have a good time. The CEO had retreated into his home office, working at his computer and filling out papers of all varieties. Serenity would look over her shoulder at the office door, just to see if he would open it and come out.
During all of the commotion of laughter and crunching chips as well as gunfire from their rather violent video game, the phone let out a shrill ring. Serenity jumped up, "I'll get it!"
Running over to the phone, she nearly stumbled over her own feet. The young girl was able to pull the phone off the hook just before the answering machine picked up, "Um, hello?"
"Serenity?"
"Mom?"
"Hey sweetie! I was just wondering when you would be coming home. It's almost dinner time you know!"
Serenity looked at the clock. It was 6:30pm, "Hey mom? Would you mind if I invited Seto over for dinner?" Her voice dripped with that 'I'm your baby girl' tone.
Mrs. Wheeler sounded a bit jumpy, "You mean your rich boyfriend? Oh please invite him! That would be splendid! I've always wanted to meet the richest boy in the city!"
Serenity smiled, "Thanks mom, Joey and Seto and I will be there soon."
With that, the phone call ended and Serenity Wheeler practically skipped back into the living room, "Joey, mom says that we need to go home for dinner and that Seto is invited!" She said the last few words loud enough so that the busy teen might hear her in his office. Sure enough, his little head poked out of the office door (after he opened it of course) followed by the rest of his thin body.
"Dinner eh?" Kaiba smirked in his mind. It all worked out just as he expected it to, "Muto, I know that I'm not accustomed to asking favors of you, or anyone for that matter, but could you keep an eye on Mokuba until I come home?"
Yugi just gave a large smile, like he always does, "Absolutely Kaiba! No trouble at all!"
The three of them climbed into one of Kaiba's limousines and began their trip to the Wheeler's house. Seto Kaiba didn't exactly know what he was in for. He hadn't eaten over at anyone elses home before, especially not someone with as little money as the Wheeler's had. Okay, so they weren't dirt poor, but compared to Kaiba they were. Either way, this was his chance to put on his perfect little act. All he had to do was win the trust of Serenity's parents and he would be home free........
That's all for this chapter! You know the drill! Rate and review!
