Chapter 10 Operation boy meets girl

I know everyone hates me because it took me so long to update, but I can explain. My mom's computer (which I have to work on because mine's not connected to the internet) had that stupid spyware thing inserted in it. But we fixed it, so I'm back. To say I'm sorry, I'm putting up three chapters right now.

Disclaimer: Me: (takes deep breath) I...do not...own...Yugi-Oh...

Psychiatrist: Now, was that so hard?

Me:...Yes! (Puts head in hands and starts to cry.)

Seto

"Girls." Seto muttered under his breath. "Always looking for something, and then when they don't get it, they run off in tears." He shook his head. "Such weaklings. They need to learn that not all men are going to give them whatever they want. Right Mokuba?"

"Um, right, Seto. I'm going to go get something to eat from the cafeteria. I'm feeling kind of hungry." Mokuba darted out the door.

"Mokuba!" Seto called. "The cafeteria's the other way . . . and . . . he can't hear me . . . " he sighed and returned to the book he was reading.

Serenity

"What's wrong, Serenity?" Joey asked when he saw the disturbed, teary look on his sister's face. "Did something happen? Has someone tried to hurt you?! Because if they did, I'll-"

"No, Joey, I'm fine." She opened the car door and got in. "It . . . It's no big deal."

Joey looked at her with concern. "Well, then . . . " he leaned over and put a finger to a wet spot on her cheek. "What are these tears for?"

"Oh!" Serenity said, shocked. She hadn't even realized that she was crying. Great, now she'd given the great Kaiba the satisfaction of seeing her in tears. "I'm feeling a little . . . weepy right now. You know, probably a result of the operation. The medicine they put me on was really strong." She wanted to tell him about Kaiba, but then again, Joey was such a drastic person. He would probably go straight up to Kaiba and give him a good punch in the face. And an altercation was one thing she wanted to avoid."I'm okay, really."

"Are you sure? Because you know that if anyone tried to-"

"I'm fine, Joey, really. Can we just go home? I'm really eager to see my room again." She forced a smile, and her brother put his arm around her and gave her a hug. It was comforting to know that he was there and always would be. She closed her eyes as he started the engine.

They were about to leave, but something stopped them. There was a young boy with long, dark hair running towards the car.

"Mokuba?" Joey said, rolling down the window. Mokuba ran up to Serenity's side of the car, panting.

"Serenity! I'm . . . glad I caught you . . . before you . . . left . . . I'm S-sorry about . . . Seto . . . " He said, trying to catch his breath. "He's . . . not usually . . . like . . . this."

"Kaiba? What about him?"Joey asked suspiciously.

"Well . . . " Mokuba took a deep breath, but Serenity cut in.

"It's okay, Mokuba. You didn't have to come all the way down here just to tell me that." She said quickly, hoping that Joey wouldn't press further.

"Okay, did I miss something here? What's going on with Kaiba that I don't know about?" Joey asked, obviously confused.

"Nothing, Joey." Serenity said. "Mokuba, can we talk about this later? Maybe you could call me." She grabbed a pen from the dashboard and started scribbling down her phone number on a piece of paper. Mokuba's face lit up.

"Okay!" He took the scrap of paper and smiled. "See you around."

"You, too."

"What am I missing?! Did something happen with Kaiba?!" Joey's confusion turned to anger.

"No, Joey. Everything's fine, don't worry. Bye, Mokuba."

"Bye." He smiled as they drove off. "And let operation 'boy meets girl' begin."

Okie dokie, got that taken care of. Now my conscience is clear.
