Riding In Cars With Kaiba
Chapter 2
-----------------------------The next day, Seto's POV--------------------------
I'm actually early for school today, for once. The hallways were light up with early morning sunlight and the halls were still nearly empty. I walked into my homeroom class and found it deserted, which wasn't surprising for this time of morning. I sat down at a desk and took out my laptop so I could work on something for KaibaCorp. But as I searched on my computer, I realized that I had nothing whatsoever to do. I had finished all my work the night before, and I had no homework either. For the first time in a long time I had absolutely nothing to do, and I hated it. I thought for about a second, and then I decided to play Solitaire. And so I played in silence in the empty room.
"HI KAIBA!" A familiar female voice startled me from behind.
"Wheeler!" I snap as I shut my laptop, "What the hell you do that for? You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Serenity said.
"What are you doing here anyway? Why don't you go to your class, I busy working on important business for KaibaCorp." I lied.
"Oh yea," she laughed sarcastically. "I doubt playing Solitaire counts as important business. Besides, my homeroom door is locked."
"Alright so why are you here?" I asked.
"Well I had to come early today because my brother had soccer practice [A/N: Yes! Joey plays soccer... and I'm sure he's good at it too :)] and I saw you alone in this classroom so, here I am!"
I moaned and put my head down on my desk. Why me??
"Look Wheeler, I'm not in a very good mood today, so you should probably back off"
"Serenity, not Wheeler."
"Whatever!" I replied highly annoyed
"Well, you should try not to be in bad mood, because it just darkens the mood" Serenity said, still happily.
"Of course the mood is dark, if it's bad." I played back that sentence in my head, wasn't sure if it made sense.
"That's exactly why you shouldn't be in bad mood."
"There is nothing I can do about being in bad mood!"
"But why does it have to be bad?"
"What I don't—" I felt like I was talking to a child, but then, part if me, a very small part was saying, what's wrong with thinking as innocently as a child? Of course the larger part was screaming how could anyone be so naïve? "You need a reality check, Wheeler."
Serenity's happy go lucky expression that she always wore suddenly looked very serious. "Maybe your right Seto Kaiba, I don't know. But what I do know is that my reality is whole a lot better then yours, maybe it's you who needs to change the way they look at the world." She turned her head to look at the clock, and then she smiled again. "I have to go to class. Bye!" Then she left the room.
I stared at the door after she left and thought, How can anyone switch moods like the just like that? Then I went back to playing solitaire.
---------------------------Later that Day at Lunch Reader's POV--------------------------
Serenity and Tea walked to the back of the school and ate lunch under outside under a tree.
"It's so pretty today!" Tea said happily. "It's great that I get to spend it with one of my closest friends. (A/N: Yea, cheesy I know, but that's Tea!)"
"Yea, you're right" Serenity said with half a smile. Tea noticed her friend didn't seem like herself today.
"Serenity what's wrong?" A concerned Tea asked.
Serenity perked up immediately. "What? Me? Oh I'm fine there's nothing wrong at all. Why would their be, I mean it is so beautiful today, nothing to be wrong about, I mean sad about."
"But-" Tea began.
"How about you Tea? I can't believe you failed gym, twice." The younger teen said, obviously trying to change the subject. "It's great that you're in my class and all, but you're just not the failing type."
Tea laughed. "So I'm not the most athletic person around and—hey! Don't try changing the subject. Tell me what's going on!" Tea demanded.
Serenity smiled at her friend. "Well, I guess there's no hiding from you."
"You got that right," Tea said as if it were a fact.
"Tea, do I need a reality check, am I too naïve to face the real world?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, where did this come from?"
"Something Kaiba said to me today."
Tea looked almost angry. "Serenity don't listen to him, he's a jerk!"
She looked up at Tea. "But that's the thing Tea, I don't see him as guy like that. He's really nice when he wants to be, even when he's trying to be rude. Wait a sec, I just contradicted myself didn't I?" Tea nodded an uh-huh, before Serenity continued. "I don't know, maybe I'm just a naïve girl seeing something that's not there, but with Kaiba, I-"
"HEY GUYS! Whatcha' doin?" Joey came out of nowhere and put a hand on each of the girls' shoulders, startling them both.
"Hi Joey!" Serenity smiled, suddenly all happy again. "Well I got to go to Art class. Catch you guys later!" She picked up her bag and food and walked away quickly.
"We still got 20 minutes!" Joey yelled out to his sister. She just waved a hand.
Tea smacked Joey in the head. "OW! What was that for?"
"She was about to tell me something. Never interrupt girl talk again." Tea said and she picked up and left too.
Joey stood there dazed. Girls! Joey thought, and then he ran after Tea.
--In the Puzzle Y Bakura's POV------------------------
"Where the hell is my annoying light!" I say to myself out loud, even though I am aware that no one can hear me. I've been waiting for 2 days to gain control of my Bakura again, or at least enter the ring. But the pharaoh has gone nowhere near his white haired friend since then. I can't take this waiting anymore! I must brake free! I must...
"Never mind." I say with a smirk as I realized my chance had finally come.
I take a couple steps back to give myself a head start. Then I run as fast as my legs can carry me toward a wall of the puzzle. I close my eyes, hoping I don't run into a hard surface and...
-------------------------In the Hallway Reader's POV--------------------------------------
"Hey Bakura!" Yugi says as he passes his friend in the hallway.
"Hey Yugi!" Bakura smiles back.
Either of them noticed the small light that came from the puzzle and entered Bakura's millennium ring.
---------------------- In the Ring, Reader's POV---------------------------------
Yami Bakura stood up and glanced at his new surroundings. He was back in his rightful mind chamber. He smiled to himself.
"On to the next faze of my plan!" He said confidently. He knew no one was around, but he felt more prepared going through is plan aloud. "Lets see, I know! I need the bracelet, yes the MILLENNIUM bracelet, to show me the correct position of the ritual temple, in Egypt! From there I need to collect all the millennium items. Yes, yes I suppose it won't be too hard."
The evil spirit realized that he was not yet strong enough too fully control his light, so he was going to have to settle with limited control...for now.
------------------------After School, Soccer Practice Reader's POV---------------------------
Joey and Bakura were so tired by the end of soccer practice; they had just run 15 laps. Not to mention that they had just had practice in the morning too.
"That's it guys! Hit the showers!" Their coach instructed his students
Joey and Bakura headed toward the changing rooms. Suddenly, Bakura had a sudden urge to fiddle with his millennium ring. He then noticed a thin ridge on the outer surface of the ring.
"Hey Joey, check this out, I never noticed this before." Bakura said as he showed his friend the new texture.
"So that wasn't there before?" Joey asked.
"No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't and-" The strange new feature suddenly detached itself from the ring, and fell to the ground.
"Ok, that was weird." Joey said, "You did that, right Bakura?"
"I-no I didn't" Bakura picked the object from the ground and studied it. It was now a very beautiful, gold chain with some kind of lock at the end of it. "It's a bracelet." Bakura concluded.
"Hey you're right! And me thinking it was something to worry about." Joey said as Bakura nodded. "Hey your not going to wear that. Right?"
"Well it's a bit to girly for my taste, but anyway, don't you think this something we should tell Yugi about?"
"Naaah! It's just a bracelet, and besides, I was wondering if I can borrow...well more like keep it...so anyway can I?" Joey asked with puppy dog eyes. "Please?"
"Well I suppose so, why who's it for?" Bakura asked even though he already knew the answer.
"Well..." Joey blushed a tad. "I thought it was something Mai would like."
"Alright then Joey." Bakura laughed, "If its for a good cause."
"Thanks!" Joey smiled back confidently. "Even though I won't need it, because no girl can resist my charming good looks!"
Bakura laughed as he handed him the bracelet.
"Hey! I was serious!"
"If you say so Joey. I think you need the brace let more then anyone."
Although Bakura laughed at the over-confident Joey, he still couldn't ignore the bad feeling he felt, sitting at the pit of his stomach. Could he be feeling some kind of bad vibe, warning him that there could be trouble ahead? Or was it just a bad lunch? The Millennium Ring had always caused him trouble before; it wasn't that hard to believe that a new dilemma was on its way. Another thing that worried him was that he could have sworn he heard a faint "No" when he handed the bracelet to Joey. All he knew for sure was that something didn't feel right.
