Notice: A thousand apologies to those who have waited a whole week and a

hurry up, write more reviews! My compliments to those who had written
reviews (you know who you are *wink*). Please send me any questions,
suggestions, opinions, etc. I really want to write a piece of work you all

P.S. For those of you who can read and understand Chinese, I have a great
website for you. Fiction stories at -
Please note that the site is in Chinese, so if you can't read it, don't.
Chapter 6
************************************************************************
Serenity paced nervously back and fro between her two packed bags. She hardly realized till now that she was running away from home.
'What would Joey think?' She thought to herself. Nothing, most likely. He didn't even care that Serenity really loved Kaiba. He just locked her in her room and told her she'd never get let out unless she would never speak to Kaiba again. All he cared about was that Kaiba was his enemy and she should hate everyone he hated. Maybe he didn't care about her.
Suddenly, she heard a small tap on her glass windows. Kaiba's handsome face looked in. She quickly unlatched the window and opened them.
"Hey Serenity. We need to hurry up. I just saw your brother leave for a while to got to Mai's house. He'll be back soon." Said Kaiba after he gave Serenity a kiss on the cheek.
"Here," she said as she handed him one of her bags, " I'm glad you came."
"Sure, come on." Said Kaiba as he helped Serenity out of the window and onto the slightly rusted metal emergency stairs.
Serenity saw that he had drove one of his less showy cars. They quickly threw Serenity's bags into the back seats and got into the front. Kaiba backed the car out the narrow alley swiftly and started to head down the street to his house.
Recovering from their nervousness and quietness, Serenity turned and said to Kaiba, "I never been to your house before. Tell me about it."
"It's pretty big. It's five stories tall. My office, my bedroom, and 2 other bedrooms are on the 5th floor. Mokuba's rooms are on the 4th floor. The library and some other stuff are on the 3rd floor. The 2nd floor is filled with bedrooms. The bottom floor is the kitchen, dining room, and the family room, that kind of stuff. And the maids' rooms are in the attic and the basement. That's about it." Said Kaiba.
"Do you think Mokuba will like me?" asked Serenity.
"Of course he will." Said Kaiba as he slowed for a red light and turned to kiss Serenity.
Not long after, they reached Kaiba's house (if it doesn't qualify for a mansion). It was a large, rather formal looking building surrounded by trees (if not forests). A long private drive led down the front. Kaiba did not head down this way, but instead, turned around at a corner and onto a quiet driveway much closer to the house (again, if not mansion). As they approached the building, Serenity discovered that the house was not at all as ancient as she thought it was. It was fine built and modern. Kaiba parked the car in a cleared part in the middle of the forest and shut of the engine. He and Serenity stepped out of the car and each grabbed a bag as they left the car. Kaiba found a good opportunity to hold Serenity's hand, using the excuse that he was afraid she'd get lost.
"Well, here we are." Said Kaiba as they arrived at a small side door to the mansion.
There was a small intercom near the side of the door. Kaiba pressed a button and spoke into it.
"Dementia, it's me. Open the door and come quickly. I hope you have put Mokuba to sleep."
"Yes, of course sir." Replied a voice from inside the intercom.
Moments later, a lady in her late 20's or early 30's opened the door and let them in. She was dressed in a simple maid's outfit and bended her head in respect as Kaiba entered.
"Welcome home sir." She said.
"Is Mokuba asleep?" he asked.
"Yes sir, he went to sleep around 9:30 today." Replied Dementia.
"Thank you. Please find a room on the 5th floor fro this girl, she'll be staying with us from today on." Said Kaiba.
"Yes, sir." Said Dementia as she took Serenity's bag from Kaiba's hand and turned to Serenity with a smile on her face, " This way please, miss." She said.
The place they had entered was the kitchen. It was almost larger than Serenity's whole apartment flat. Dementia left the kitchen, leaving Kaiba there to hunt a midnight snack, with Serenity at her heels.
" This way is the stairs to the 5th floor, miss." Said Dementia as she pointed to something they were walking towards, a wide wooden staircase made of rich oak.
"Do you work here?" asked Serenity curiously.
"Yes, I do. I work as Sir Mokuba's tutor and maid, and as the manager for this household." Said Dementia.
By the time the two ended their strenuous trek to the 5th floor, the two were already fast friends.
"Well, here's the room you'll be staying in," said Dementia as she unlocked one of the doors with a key from a large bundle of them located on a key chain, which she conjured from her pocket.
It was a richly furnished room with wide full-length windows replacing a wall on one side of the room. The room was filled with light, cheerful colors, which were seldom seen in this relatively gloomy house. Cream- colored satin sheets covered the large bed. Drapery of the same material hung over the bed frame, creating a curtain for the bed. The bedroom was connected to a bathroom, which Serenity later found, was also finely furnished and elegant.
"Thank you for bringing me here." Said Serenity to Dementia after she examined the room.
"My pleasure. Would you like for me to help you with sorting your belongings?" asked Dementia.
"Oh, sure. That would be very helpful." Replied Serenity.
After the two friends sorted Serenity's stuff, they hurried downstairs to the kitchen, one fearing that if she kept away to long, she would be in trouble; the other fearing that she would die of starvation if she did not have a bite for dinner.
The two reached the kitchen quicker than they expected, greeted by the banging of pots and pans and crashes of tables and chairs as they entered the walkway leading to the kitchen.
"Not again, dear goodness. Must this happen all the time." Groaned Dementia with a frown on her face.
Suddenly, the two heard a large crash of what sounded like china breaking.
"What was THAT?"
