Me: Thank you all for the reviews. Extra thanks to Jewel of Egypt, and Crazi Girl that had responded against flamers. And Constandina, do I really get those Summer Olympic tickets? 0 To all that like S/S, I have no intensions of mocking Serenity but if you feel that way then let me tell you, I am not.
Still not owning anything. All disclaimers apply.

Isis was lying on her bed, too tired to get up even though the bright sun had already shinned in her room for some time. She was thinking of yesterday and got confused. It was nice that today was a Saturday so she could consider things over. The night before in the rain with Kaiba seems so unreal. What was the feeling she felt towards him anyways?
"Isis get up!" Marik yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What?" Isis replied still closing rolled over.
Marik ran to his sister, grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard.
"Ok, what in the world do you want?" and was about to punch him in the face. Could he ever give her some peace and quiet?
"First of all, it's already 12 o'clock noon, Secondly, Bakura's coming over today at like three and we're going to the Game shop but I have to go to Kong fu lessons at that time."
"What? The evil, weird freak is coming to our house???"
"Uhhhh yeah, and I won't be back by five."
"Marik, I'm going to kill you!"
Isis chased Marik out of the room. It was never nice, being with Isis when she was irritated. You don't know what she can do to you. And it was scary to just think about it.

Kaiba sat at his study room and leaned back on his wheeling chair. He was tired and damn puzzled. Yesterday had been a bizarre night with Isis and the less he wanted to think about her, the more she came into his mind. Damn her, he cursed silently to himself.
"Seto!" Mokuba ran into the room without knocking. "Serenity's here... Do you want me to tell her to go away?"
"Huh? Oh tell her to come in."
"But you are supposed to go with me to the amusement park in thirty minutes," Mokuba whinned.
"Well I guess she'll come with us,"
"Oh man," It wasn't that he didn't like Serenity because there was nothing wrong with her but it was just that he wanted to spend some time alone with Seto. He always seemed to be so busy. Mokuba walked out of the room, hands dragged low.
-=-=-=-=-=-
"Hey Mokie, you haven't talked much huh? What's wrong?" Serenity asked concerned.
"Oh nothing, and it's Mokuba" he answered as they walked to the grass area to have a picnic. They were supposed to be at the amusement park having fun but Serenity didn't like the rides. She insisted on a picnic and his dumb brother had to agree.
Kaiba gave him a disapproving look but said nothing. He didn't want to come to the picnic either. Or the amusement park. All he wanted to do was sit at home and think things over but that wasn't happening.
"I'm going by the creek in the forest to throw some rocks okay? Mokuba asked and without a respond ran off. Seto was supposed to spend time with him and he wasn't. Mokuba frowned.
Serenity was about to run after him when Kaiba grabbed her and told her not to. They walked toward a bench and sat down. Serenity leaned her head against Kaiba's chest and sighed. She was barely seeing him anymore and it felt good to be with him. He never called back yesterday.
"I missed you a lot,"
"Huh?" Kaiba responded his mind on something else.
"I missed you."
"But I see you every week."
"That's not the same. We haven't been to the movies in like ages and you always seem to have your mind on other things."
"Work gets the best of me, I mean, I have a whole business to manage."
"Yeah that must be hard. How's the new employee coming. I mean that Egyptian woman."
"Uhhh," Kaiba didn't want to think about Isis, but it was hard not to. "Fine" he managed to respond.
"Kaiba, you're so hard to talk to and I care about how you feel. I want to help."
"Yeah I know, I just have difficult things to think about that's all."
Serenity smiled and wrapped her arms around Kaiba . She reached a hand to the back of his brown hair and held her face close to his.
"I love you, Kaiba"
And with that Kaiba leaned to give her a kiss on the lips. She's such a nice girl and I'm not treating her well. You have no feelings for Isis, he reminded himself. Serenity is my girlfriend. Isis is my employee...

"Ding dong"
Isis looked up from her book to the clock. Was it three already? Oh man, that must be Bakura. She put her book down and walked toward the door and peered out the hole from her door. Yup it was him. Marik you're going to pay for this she thought as she opened the door.
"Hey, is Marik home?"
"Oh he won't be home for another hour or so but come in."
"Thank you,"
Isis led him into the house and onto the sofa. She wasn't good at making a good hostess and making practically strangers feel welcome.
"Uhh, do you want a drink?" She asked wanting to say something.
"No, it's ok."
Why is he so hard to talk to. Why do I have to start all the conversations. Marik, come home already.
"So you are an archeologist working in Egypt right?"
"Yeah, I used to work at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo but then got temporarily transferred to Kaiba Corp." She grimaced at the thought.
"I've been to Egypt a couple of times. It's really a beautiful place, and the Giza pyramid was awesome but it costs like 4000 yen to get in."
Isis smiled, ok so he might not be so bad after all.
"Here, wait let me get something," and Isis rushed into her room to get some rare artifacts that she discovered on several of her digs.
For the next hour or so, they sat and talked about the wonders of the world, gods, pharaoh, and mummies. Bakura seemed to know quite a whole lot and it was sort of fun talking to him, Isis concluded to herself.
"Ring ring."
Isis picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Isis," Marik talked through the line, "Can you let Bakura go directly to the Game Shop now? I'm running a bit late."
"Ok, fine, bye" and hung up.
-=-=-=-=-=-
"Bakura, Marik said that you should go directly to the Game Shop now."
"Oh, all right," he stood up and walked to the door, "It was fun talking to you, you seem to know a lot."
Isis blushed at the compliment, "Not really, you're not too bad yourself."
Bakura gave her a smile, put a hand on her shoulder, and pulled her in for a hug. After a moment he released.
"Bye,"
"See you," Isis replied her voice barely audible and closed the door. Now she had something else to think about.

Me: ---u
This is not Yaoi if you thought anything about Marik/Bakura. This is not the Yami B. or Ryou but the regular one.
Review!
