Serenity sat in the park bench, her brother sitting beside her as they talked and laughed about certain things. The sun shown down on the too, giving them some warmth from the cold harsh wind that flew into their hair, messing it up. Her head lay on her brother's shoulder, she couldn't feel any happier.

After a while, they stopped talking, just stayed with each other, a smile on each face at the peace between each other, a comfortable silence. " Serenity, it's time to wake up" Joey said gently to her. " I don't want to Joey, I love it here" she said sighing. " You can't, but I'll be here again when you come back" he said getting up.

" Wait Joey! Don't leave me," she cried, while everything around her slowly faded around her. She watched as Joey disappeared. " Joey don't leave me, I need you" she cried once again, running through the foggy park. It was useless, he was gone. . .

She felt herself being violently shaken. " Wake up this instant" she heard a cold cruel voice hiss at her. She slowly opened her brown eyes that were soon met with cold blue ones. " Finally, here is you're. . .food as you call it" he said giving her the bag. She took it and put it to her side as she rubbed her eyes and stretched a bit.

I hate. . .dislike him so much she thought, not touching the food. She didn't want it, and she wasn't that hungry anyway. " You slept a lot," he said to her from the chair. She shrugged. " I was tired, and I was having a great dream till you ruined it" she said. " Dreaming of bunnies?" he taunted her.

She got up from her couch, deciding to take a nice cool shower that would wake her up well. She was at the bathroom door, where Kaiba stood in front of it. " Not going to eat?" he asked pointing to the food that lay on the couch. " I'm not that hungry" she said, trying to push him away so she could get in there.

Quickly, he spun her and had her pinned to the bathroom door. She rolled her eyes. " Should have seen that one coming," she said sarcastically to him. " I waste my time getting food, and you just leave it? You will eat," he hissed.

Kaiba didn't know what to say, but he needed a reason to touch her, feel her soft warm breath when she spoke, and when she had said those words, there was his reason, a fool would pass it up. " I don't want your damn food, you can shove it up your ass for all I care" she growled at him, she didn't feel she had a reason to be afraid of him, all he did was hit her, that would heal, it wasn't like it would hurt forever.

" Tsk, tsk, tsk, second time you swear, such vulgar language" he said. " I don't care" was her reply. He glared at the girl he held to the wall, she could be so feisty when she wanted to be, and didn't she know he loved it? The fact that he could get to her so easily, the only thing he didn't like was when she put him down in anyway, that he would no tolerate, especially from someone in her state.

" You should care, because if you say something I don't like. . ." he trailed off, letting his playful threat hang in the air. " You'll what? Hit me? Go ahead! If hurting a woman makes you feel strong, then do it, I'm tired of you, you're an idiot" she said. " Oh an idiot? Well I'm not the one in this situation, one where you can't do anything but hope I wont hurt you," he said.

" Please I don't hope for that, I hope one night, you'll be out, and you wont come back," she said. He growled, all he wanted to do was slap that mouth of hers, but he held back, he would try to hold back as much as he could, he just wanted her to shut up. " Really? Your just so sweet" he said, licking his lips seductively at her.

" Your sick" she said, fighting to get away from him, she didn't like him touching her, it kind of made her feel sick and dirty all at once, she just wanted to get away from him right now. " You don't like me touching you? You didn't mind the other night," he said, smirking evilly.

" That's because I liked the person I was with the other night, not the one I'm with now," she said. " That's because I was going soft, I will not go soft because of some girl," he said. " Who told you that? Just because we talked and you weren't a savage doesn't mean your going soft," she said. " It does to me, and especially when I'm going soft over some weak ugly girl," he said.

" Ugly? Why you asshole! I'm not ugly, if anyone's ugly, then it's you buddy," she said furiously. Who does he think he is? I'm not ugly she thought. Kaiba looked at her, something sudden washed over his body. Her smirked, she was so beautiful when she was angry, and he felt himself wanting her, to taste her.

He moved himself closer to her, watching as she gasped in shock. He didn't care though, he needed her right now, and he would have her because he always got what he wanted.

" What are you doing? Get away from me!" she shreiked angrily at him. Kaiba stoped, a smirk on his face. " Serenity. . .Serenity. . .Serenity" he said her name. She stoped moving and looked at him. " W-what?" she asked. " Why, why do you continue to behave this way? Why can't you just accept the fact. . .that your here forever---Well, as long as I want you to live that is" he said.

" I'll never accept this? Kaib-Master. . .I don't want to live like this. I never know what the hell to watch out for! One minute your. . .sweet and the next, your some scary savage guy" she said. Kaiba said nothing, just starred at her. She sighed. " I. . .just don't know anymore. . .or anything. Your just so complicated. . ." she trailed off looking down.

Kaiba starred at her. Do I feel. . .guilty? he thought. Dammit! Kaiba, stay focused. " I don't care" he said. " You don't care? You are such a selfish jerk!" she hissed. " Shut. The. Hell. Up." he said, breaking it down for her. He didn't know what to do, he was confused, pulled between two things. Her, and his vampires.

He. . .couldn't help the way he acted, he had done it for so long, he didn't know how to be caring like he once was to Mokuba. " You know what? Why waste both our time! Kill me now, Oh great one! Take me away from this misery" she hissed. Kaiba slapped her. He had slapped her harder then he wanted to, but he just did it. " I won't kill you Serenity, no I won't do that. I'll make you suffer in any way I can. You are a nothing, and a nothing you will always be" he stated angrily to her.

" I. . .can I go eat my food now?" she asked softly, tears falling from her face. Kaiba let go of her. " Go eat, whatever" he said, going into the bathroom and closing the door. Serenity ran to the couch and cried into a pillow.

This is just so stupid. . .I hate this so much. I never did anything wrong, and all this happened. I just wanted to be happy she thought sadly. She cried for a while longer.

---

It had been a while she was crying, and only soon did she realize, she had never heard Kaiba come out from the bathroom. Bravely, she moved her face from the pillow. Wiping her tears, she looked at the bathroom door, which was now open. " Where the hell did he go?" she whispered to herself.

" Right here" she heard him say. Serenity turned to his bed, where Kaiba stood in front of. " Are you done crying like a baby?" he asked. " How long have you been standing there?" she asked. " About twenty minutes. . .twenty long minutes" he replied disgusted. " Well, if you didn't act the way you did, you wouldn't have to spend twenty long minutes hearing me cry" she said back.

Kaiba hid his suprised look. Even after I. . .she. . .still talks to me like that? Dammit! Will this woman ever learn? He asked himself. Kaiba watched her and soon saw the slap mark he had left on her cheek. It was all red and bruised. Guilt hit him. Kaiba growled. Damn this feeling he thought.

Giving up fighting himself, he walked over to her and sat on the couch. By the time he was seated, Serenity was already at the end of the other couch. " Come here now! I don't have time for this" he hissed. " I don't want to. . ." she trailed off, a little frightened. " Now!" he hissed angrily. Serenity moved a little closer to him. " Dammit Serenity, sit here!" he pointed. " You know what? I'll do it" he grabbed her easily and sat her beside him.

" What do you want?" she asked. Slowly, he moved his hand to where he had slapped her. She flinched at the sudden pain. " It hurts still?" he asked. " Well you didn't lightly slap me did you now?" she said. Kaiba sighed, choosing to ignore it. " Serenity. . ." he trailed off.

Serenity watched him. Now what? I swear, I don't get this guy at all! He's always changing! She thought angrily.

Kaiba looked at her. He felt bad. She looked so small and fragile there. She looked so. . .beautiful he thought. " W-what's wrong?" Serenity asked. Kaiba said nothing, and slowly bent down and kissed her. . .
