Now the ending chapter…

Chapter 14- Resentfully Sweet Endings

Her screamed echoed through the long column of the elevator shaft. She had been so close, her hand caressed the material, but alas Serena was now paying the price. She looked down into the long empty void of darkness, she had been foolish to think she could make it , but Ra if she made it she would be forever grateful.

Unexpectedly, his hand reached down and pulled her out of the close call of death. She lay upon the soft cerulean carpet; her hair lay over her face, she flicked her head back and nearly fell into the passage again.

"Akeno?!"

And that was who it was, the crystal-eyed, honey blonde man stared back at her with a sweet smile.

"Glad you still remember me," he said brushing away her hair.

"Serena, sorry to break up your get together, but I am about to fall into abyss, so if you could…" Kaiba irritably said.

"Seto," Serena swiftly turned around and reached her hand out. "I can't reach." Half her body lay out over the dark hole, Kaiba's hand extended forward. "Just a bit more," she said edging herself on.

"Let me," Akeno took a hold of Serena's hand and held on the wall with the other. "Now reach out.

Serena's leaned over, her entire body hovering over the shadows. "Seto."

Kaiba's hand reached out as far as it could, enough to receive a tight clasp. With all her might, Serena pulled him over and onto solid ground; her hands wrapped around his neck firmly, her head nestle into his thick chocolate hair.

He was stunned at first but slowly wrapped his arms around her waist; she loosened her grip and looked into his cobalt eyes. Her lips for one heavenly moment brushed against his; Kaiba smirked arrogantly, one side of his lips curved upwards.

"I knew you cared," he taunted just as he grabbed his chest wound. Serena put her hand over his and gently rubbed it.

"It still isn't over," Akeno's voice brought them both back. "They're still here."

"How can we trust you?" Serena spat remembering last night.

"Serena," his hand lay upon her shoulder, she heatedly brushed it away. "I made a mistake, now I'm trying to make up for it," his eyes were pure, no longer clouded with lust and vengeance.

"He betrayed us!" Takara slammed her hands down against the controls. "What a selfish little ingrate."

"Rage doesn't suit you love," Kisho's hand travelled through her hair. "My son maybe not on our side but we can still win."

"I love it when you have an ace up your sleeve," Takara purred.

"Men, take them out."

"How can we trust you, as the saying goes, like father like son," Kaiba sneered.

"Seto I think he can help us—"

"Sssshhh," Akeno hushed. In the far-off distance faint footsteps could be heard approaching them. "They're coming."

"What do we do?" Serena asked, her voice slightly panic-stricken.

"I'll head towards them, Serena you go left and Kaiba you go right. Round off and you'll go around them and get to the chief computer room."

Serena nodded in agreement and Kaiba rolled his eyes, they both staggered up and headed their separate ways.

"It's my turn to make up for what I did," Akeno headed towards the upcoming equipped males. "Looking for the intruders? I think they headed downstairs with another elevator and are going to go up the stairs," Akeno explained, attempting to seem sure of himself.

"Sure boss," The front man replied, moving past him and coursing through the unlit hallways. "Oh and by the way…"

A gunshot sounded throughout the entire floor, Akeno's dead body fell limply upon the ground, gasping for it's last morsels of air.

Serena fell back alongside the wall, a deafening noise had thundered throughout the dark corridors catching the lonely woman off guard.

"What was th—?"

A rough hand coiled around Serena's mouth pulling her closer to a brawny and stiff body.

"Hi," his breath smelled of cigarettes and heavy alcohol. "You must be Akeno's little lover, mmm you seem tasty." His lips violently collided into her neck, Serena cried out in pain as she felt the cold, crimson blood seep out of the puncture his attack had made. He pushed her aside brutally as she fell rigidly against the ground. His mouth sneered into an evil smirk. "This is going to be fun." He made prolonged advance towards her; Serena crawled away, much too frightened to make any other movement.

His footsteps rumbled inside Serena's head, but still, her body defied her pleas to move away from the approaching offender.

'God, please someone save me!'

"What are we going to do?" Mokuba ran his fingers through his locks of thick raven hair.

Everyone had gathered in Yugi's den, patiently waiting for what they thought was assurance of their friend's safety. Solemnly, not a word had been uttered, everyone quietly sat, some wept for comfort.

"Honey, they'll be alright," Rebecca held husband close to her and consoled him.

"But man, we just can't sit here and wait, we gotta do somethin'," Joey urged.

"Man, since when do you care about Kaiba?" Duke asked.

"Since Serena's involved with those punks," Joey replied.

"I actually agree with the him," Mai said. Joey rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead.

"Yugi there has to be something we can do," Tea pled.

"Well…I think we can…"

Tears streamed down her eyes, she forcefully shut them, his breath tickled her neck. His immense body collapsed upon her, crushing her petite frame, he rolled off easily. Serena opened one eye and looked up.

"Seto!" She bound up and wrapped her arms firmly around his neck.

"You didn't actually think I'd take orders from people?" Kaiba asked disgustedly.

She smiled whole-heartedly; wiping her tears away she looked down the dark and eerie looking hallway.

"Don't worry," he soothed within her ear. "We're doing this together."

Serena gazed timidly into his sapphire eyes, and clasped his hand snugly in hers. "Right."

Wordlessly, they marched down the shady corridor, hand-in-hand fearlessly, it was time for confrontation.

They cunningly slipped inside the Main computer room undetected- or so they thought. Darkness clouded every corner, a faint light was distinguished at the end of the room; slowly and sneakily they slithered through the long rows of computers.

"Seto where are they?" Serena whispered.

Kaiba swiftly moved his head back and forth, clutching Serena's hand even more tightly for comfort.

Suddenly every light flickered on, Serena and Kaiba promptly moved their head to the right.

There, at the end of the room, Kisho sat prominently, one hand over his knee, his head resting upon the other, and a callous sneer visible upon his content face. Behind him Takara sat upon the arm rest, her eyes devious and her smile deadly.

"Ah, so here is my wounded nephew on the right holding his dearly beloved beauty on the left. What fun this will be," Kisho smirked.

"Oh Seto, you already replaced me?" She asked dryly.

Serena stared daggers and at her. "You replaced him long before you were even married, such a slut."

"What?" Takara began to walk towards her.

"Takara stop," Kisho demanded. Takara immediately halted.

"What's wrong? Can't the bitch come out to play, or does she have business to take care of?" Serena provoked, gritting her teeth. Kaiba stared in awe at her sudden rage.

'She really is the right choice.'

"That's it," Takara drew a pistol from her pocket. "No more words from you now," she lined it exactly with Serena's heart. "Bye."

The bullet speedily came towards her, Serena hurriedly grabbed Kaiba and pushed themselves onto the floor. The shell crashed into a small computer screen, causing glass to soar everywhere.

"Takara! That's enough from you!" Kisho ordered.

Takara thrust the gun to the ground, the metal hammered against the cold floor tiles, she angrily turned around and walked towards Kisho.

Serena stared at them, Kisho began to scold Takara for her hastiness, no one focused on upon the unguarded gun. Kaiba noticed the twinkle in her eyes as they fixated upon the item, he held her hand firmly and shook his head no. Serena nodded defiantly and edged before the weapon, her hand lingered slowly, she bit her bottom lips and moved a bit more.

'C'mon Serena, a bit more, you're almost there.'

"What do we have here?" Takara's heel collided into Serena's hand, pain shot throughout her hand as she pushed her foot more. "Does it hurt?" She mocked sympathy.

Serena grabbed her wrist and attempted to pull her hand free, she shut her eyes and tugged, but her hand would not budge.

With her other free foot, Takara lashed Serena in her cheek, blood escape through her injury as she fell back. Her spine arched back as she collapsed onto the icy ground, blood pooling around her.

"Serena?" Kaiba scurried towards her, his hand ran through her raven locks, her eyes shut so that her beautiful grey iris' couldn't be admired. He bent down to kiss her lips but was pushed away, Seto Kaiba fell roughly to the ground because his ex-wife had kicked him there, down to the position she thought he deserved.

His cold, bitter blue eyes, were now ignited with a fiery flame, which even Serena herself couldn't tame. He staggered up, struggling not to show weakness, he ambled towards his uncle, self-righteous and arrogant, in many ways they resembled each other but Seto even knew he had more of a heart then that dim-witted basterd ever would.

Kaiba's fist crashed into Kisho's jaw, causing him to cry out in anguish, he fell to the floor, weak and hurt. He grabbed his collar and thrust him into the stiff wall bits fell to the ground.

"You…hurt…her…" he hissed underneath his breath. Kaiba threw him over to Takara who fell to the floor, striving to save her beloved.

Kisho lurched upwards and marched towards him and shot his arm forward, Kaiba rapidly moved away, causing Kisho to fall mercilessly to the ground.

"Seto leave him," Takara cried as she ran to his side.

Kaiba watched Takara hold Kisho close to her bosom, and caress him lovingly.

"It's Kaiba to you, only people who are close to me use that term," he retorted heatedly.

He turned his back to her and walked to Serena, who had stirred slightly. "What happened?" Serena whispered as Kaiba held her cosily.

"Everything's alright now," Kaiba eased, his lips millimetres away from hers.

She put her hand through his hair and smiled up at him. "I always wished we would be together like this, even if it was a sin, even when you were married and I was with Bakura, I always wanted you, I always dreamed…"

His finger brushed over her lips. "Your wishes all came true."

"Kisho honey, are you all right?" Takara murmured to her wounded lover.

"Takara…it isn't…over," Kisho breathed silently, he slowly reached into his pocket and drew his weapon of choice. His arms unsteadily extended forward to the vulnerable back of the CEO, his finger slid across the trigger and the bullet was release for killing.

"Seto!" Serena pulled him out of the shell's path and put her body forward instead; fresh flesh slit in contact with the sweltering metal. She and Kaiba fell to the ground, blood trickled onto the blue-eyed male's shirt.

"Freeze! Kisho Tsunami and Takara Kaiba, you're both under arrest!"

"Takara Kaiba, wife of the renowned Seto Kaiba, was found guilty for Treachery as was the uncle, Kisho Tsunami. Both had been working together to demolish the CEO and conquest the illustrious Kaiba Corporation. More details concerning the trial which was held today will be at 6:00pm, this is Fiona Gajek, Domino News."

Barely hours after the arrest, the sleeping city of Domino had awoken to the news of Kaiba Corp.'s massive take over; reporters and journalist's rushed to the Police station where the victims and offenders were being held. Groups of people gathered around attempting to receive a word of explanation from the CEO but none was given.

Takara and Kisho were held in jail for a few days till their trial, Kisho was found guilty for Attempted Murder and Treachery, which he obtained 18 years for, while Takara was doing time for Duplicity and was in for 15 years.

Everyone was at the trial of the century, Mokuba, Kaiba and Serena all testified against the pair. Court was adjourned for recess and was called forth again where the jury gave the final verdict of culpable.

Takara walked out of court, hand banded together by handcuffs, she walked shamefully, her head facing the ground. The media swarmed around the disgraced woman, yelling and screaming questions that she couldn't find a voice to answer.

She put one foot forward upon the Police car, tears flowed down her face as the police helped her in. Just as the sat down, a hand descent upon the car door and stopped it from closing, Takara stared up perplexed at her husband's sudden appearance.

Kaiba silently placed a manila file upon her lap. Her manacled hands ran over the smooth material, her russet eyes stared blankly at the CEO.

"Divorce papers, you've brought dishonour to the family name," he hissed as he turned away sharply, his coat soaring in the wind behind him.

'How could I have been so foolish?'

Kaiba lay in his large and velvety bed covered in navy blue satin and linen, still recovering from his gun abrasion. With much force, Kaiba had talked Mokuba into going to work to look after the corporation.

He thought about his divorce, depressed at how blind Takara made him, it was his stupid mistake of every believing someone could love him as he loved them.

"Knock, knock," Serena peeked in through the door. "How are you feeling?" She strolled into his spacious room and lay a few files upon the night stand beside his bed. "Kaiba are you all right?"

Serena was attired in a deep orange top and a chocolate coloured skirt, right beneath her sleeve she had thick bandages around her hand, for the lesion, which she was effortlessly recuperating from. Serena had forced Maria to take her vacation, promising her that she would aid Master Kaiba to full health.

Kaiba bitterly glanced up at Serena looked away, she grabbed her heart brooch, Kaiba looked up when he noticed a stunning gem upon her tanned hand.

"You're engaged to Bakura?" Kaiba asked resentfully, thinking of their time together days before.

"What are you now, gossip central?"

Kaiba indignantly looked down and cross his hands over his bare chest.

"I broke up with him," she said averting her gaze.

"Why?"

"Because I can't give him the love that I can give another," Serena whispered, her normally warm grey eyes, cool and frostily staring deeply into Kaiba's blue orbs. "Now what's wrong with you?"

"Why does it matter, you told me what was going on, I didn't believe you, now you want to torment me?" Kaiba asked irritated. Serena place her hand underneath his chin and turned his head to her.

"Do you know why I told you about Takara?" Serena asked staring him straight in the eye. Kaiba glared back at her awaiting her answer.

"You're a great person although most people don't know that, and most people who like you are only looking for your wealth and looks," she paused and breathed in a bit.

'My silence is a form of language from my heart that I wish you could understand.'

"Seto Kaiba, I don't know when or how or even why I feel like this, but now that it's here I can't stop it from expanding," her face only inches away form his. "How can I ignore an emotion I've always wanted to experience, something I've waited my entire life for to come knocking on my door. I love you Seto Kaiba."

She leaned closer to him until her warm lips met his intense ones in a passionate kiss, Kaiba wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her closer to the warmth of his body, just figuring out that the love of his life had been the successful and gorgeous women behind him…
