Slowly, her eyes opened to the
darkness, her head still lying on his chest. Thoughts of last night appeared in
her head making her smile. For once they had a civil conversation, one that
didn't involve swearing or hurting. Okay, it may have started that way, but it
turned out all right.
" Your finally up" she heard
her master say. She moved her head so she faced him, and even so, she still
couldn't see. She moved off him then, lying beside him, slowly trying to wake
up more. She felt Kaiba move from the bed, as he lit every candle, giving her
some light.
She got up from the bed,
yawning and stretching before walking to the bathroom and washing her face.
When she was done, she walked back into the room where she saw Kaiba getting
dressed. " Your going out?" she asked. " Later, now I have a meeting with the
others," he said walking to the door.
" Could I come master?" she
asked sweetly. " No, it's a vampire thing" he said as she walked up to him. " I
don't want to stay in here all night" she stated her hands on her hips. He
smirked. " Maybe when I go to feast, till then stay here" he said, hating how
nice he was being with her.
" Thanks Master" she said,
giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. She smirked, as he stood there shocked, a
slight blush creeping on his cheeks. Bet he didn't see that one coming she
thought happily. " What was that for?" he asked, sounding calm and casual, yet
angry. " You said maybe later, I was just happy," she said.
Kaiba smirked as an idea formed
in his head. She raised an eyebrow at this. Quickly, he bent down and kissed
her pink lips. She gasped and moved away, her eyes full of shock and anger. "
What the hell was that for?" she asked angrily. He smirked. " I was just
happy," he said leaving the room, locking it after.
He was happy? She thought.
Since when is he happy? I thought he couldn't be happy, oh well she thought.
But that wasn't all that was on her mind, she knew there must have been another
reason for him wanting to kiss her, there had to be.
Her first thought was, maybe he
kind of liked her, but she immediately shrugged it off, something like that
couldn't love right? But he had with Mokuba, so maybe he could with her. But
she couldn't love him! He was not the guy she had dreamed of ending up with.
Besides, he didn't look like the type that could love, even though he had, she
just couldn't picture it, especially with her.
She sighed as she walked over
to the small couch. Taking a seat, she opened the book she had been reading
last night, and continued it.
---
" My he's on time, what's the
occasion?" Bakura taunted him, an evil grin on his pale white face. " I don't
have time for this, what do you guys want?" he asked, taking a seat. " Are we
taking time from your little pet you keep locked up?" Bakura asked. Kaiba
ignored him, turning to Pegasus.
" Well, what did you need?" he
asked him. Pegasus shook his head. " I don't know, I didn't call it, I heard it
from Marik" he said, making Kaiba turn to the lavender-eyed boy. " Don't look
at me Kaiba, It was Bakura," he said going back to playing with the little
pocketknife he held in his hand.
" Yes I did call it, and I'll
tell you why! I don't think Kaiba is a good leader, he's grown weak every since
that girl came here, and he still hasn't bit her! What kind of leader is that?
One that is going soft for some stupid weak human girl" he said. " I am not
going soft!" Kaiba hissed at him.
" Then why is she still alive?
She looks well to me" he said, their eyes on each other. " That's because I'm
not done with her," Kaiba said, of course, a lie. He would never be done with
her, he would die first. " Will you ever though? Because it doesn't feel like
it," he said. " I didn't know you could feel" Kaiba smirked.
Bakura growled at him. " Look
Bakura, if you don't like the way I manage things, then leave" Kaiba said.
Bakura stood up, his eyes dark and full of anger, a smirk slowly forming his
lips. " I will Kaiba, but trust me you will one day regret those words" Bakura
said walking out the door.
" He'll be back later on,"
Marik said, thinking nothing of it. " Well is that all?" Kaiba asking, scanning
the room. When no one said anything he got up and walked out the door, ready to
kill some unsuspecting people and laugh as they scream for help.
---
After killing another woman, he
flew back into the air, the night wind hitting his face. Maybe Bakura was
right! He thought. He was becoming soft the more he thought about it, and what
kind of leader remained soft? He had to be ruthless, that's how he got his
place as leader, and he wouldn't loose it.
He landed on the cold ground,
the grass dead, he knew winter was coming soon, but he didn't mind the cold. He
entered the shed, and walked the cold stone staircase and down the halls. He
could hear no one, so he guessed they were getting ready to sleep once again,
for the night was almost done.
He opened his door to his room;
entering it he scanned for the young woman. She lad on the couch, asleep, a
book in her hand as the only candle lit lightened the small part of the room.
He walked over to the girl, only wanting to blow out the candle and got to
sleep, but she had steered and woken up.
Her eyes opened, as she came
face to face with her master, his eyes emotionless like most nights she saw
him. " I was waiting for you" she yawned a bit, her eyes barely open. " Well
I'm back, you can go back to sleep" he said blowing it out and walking to the
bed, where he would sleep.
Serenity sat there confused,
what had happened? She thought getting up and walking over to him. " What's
wrong?" she asked gently. Kaiba turned to the girl. " Go. To. Bed. " He said,
breaking it down for her, hopefully she would get it he thought.
She stopped in her tracks, she
was about to say something, but stopped, it was her fault. Her fault for being
caring to him, helping him, and now he no longer needed her right? So why
should she waste her time? Why would she want to risk him getting angry because
she cared, no she wouldn't, I guess it was a one time thing she thought sadly.
She turned back and lay down on
her couch. Would they always be like this? One minute okay with each other, the
next him hating her, she didn't need it, she couldn't handle that, she would be
confused, but she wasn't sure after a while she would get used to it. She knew
they would fight, but for how long? Even she knew that after a while she
wouldn't say anything, she would let it be, too tired to fight and defend
herself, she couldn't do it forever could she. . .
