Notice: I'm really sorry I didn't update sooner, but I'm kindda out of the
country and I'm short of time. From now on there might be parts that aren't
exactly made for the eyes of children (if you understand what I'm trying to
say). So, if you're underage and shouldn't be reading some of the stuff I'm
gonna write, please DO NOT read it. If there are some parts that shouldn't
be read by younger, um, people, I'll write STOP in big font before it
starts and START where it ends so that those who fall in the "I should not
read this" category can still read this story. What I'm going to write
isn't that bad but I seriously think that if you're not old enough to read
this then don't. Also, I'm starting to plan a fiction story that's totally
owned by me so if any one's interested try reading it when it's out. Have
fun reading this and I'm sorry the last chapter was so spaced out. R&R!
Chapter 10 ************************************************************* "How do I look?" asked Mai as she stepped out of the dressing room.
"That really looks good on you, Mai." Said Téa, looking up from the numerous dresses she was picking from.
Mai, Yugi, Téa (am I the only one that hates her and her friendship nonsense?), Tristan, and Joey were enjoying their day at the mall shopping for an outfit for the coming party.
"I still can't believe Tristan and Téa were invited." Said Yugi as he looked at some outfits hanging on the put on the racks.
"At least it saves us from thinking about which one of them we should bring." Said Joey grabbing the bag that held the outfit he had picked out.
"True, and since Mai and I were both bringing other people there was space for another person." Said Yugi while walking towards the cashier to pay for some clothes he chose.
"Who are you bringing anyway?" asked Joey.
"Um, you know that girl Rebecca? She said she wanted to go so I promised to take her." Said Yugi, blushing slightly at the mention of Rebecca.
"Rebecca? Isn't she really young?" asked Joey, throwing Yugi a sideward glance.
"She's 11. Why ask?" said Yugi.
"Isn't she a bit young for you?" asked Joey.
"Um.It's not what you think.we're just friends." muttered Yugi.
"Did I say she was anything else? But since you said that, I guess she is something else other than just a friend." Teased Joey.
Joey was still teasing Yugi when Mai, Téa, and Tristan walked out of the store.
"What's so funny?" asked Tristan.
"Oh, nothing. Yugi's got a girlfriend!" said Joey
"Really? Who is she?" asked Mai curiously.
"Rebecca." Said Joey
"She's not my girlfriend!" said Yugi, his face turning an even deeper shade of red.
"Who's Rebecca?" asked Mai, ignoring Yugi's comment.
"She's the granddaughter of this friend of Yugi's grandfather. She dueled Yugi for the Blue Eyes White Dragon that her grandfather gave Yugi's grandfather. You know, the one that Kaiba."said Joey, his voice disappearing at the mention of Kaiba.
"Well, want to go get something to eat?" said Tristan, trying to break the silence that had fallen one the group.
"Good idea. I'm feeling kind of thirsty." Said Mai with a hurried smile.
Mai quickly grabbed Joey's arm and began to lead him to the food court.
When everyone got their food and sat down, they quickly tried to forget about Kaiba and Serenity and changed the subject to the party (not a wise choice, huh?). Even though everyone tried to change the subject, the conversation was once again brought back to Serenity and Kaiba.
"Who are you going to take to the party, Joey?" asked Tristan.
"I was thinking about bring Serenity but I guess Kaiba will be taking her." Said Joey with a sad smile.
"You could go by yourself." Suggested Mai, trying to lead Joey away from talking about Serenity and Kaiba.
"Good idea." Said Joey quickly.
"Oh, dear." Said Téa suddenly, a look of fright coming to her face.
"What's up?" asked Yugi, who was sitting across from Téa.
"It's Kaiba and, um, Serenity." Said Mai, who was sitting next to Téa and quickly saw what Téa was gaping at.
The mention of Kaiba and Serenity made everyone turn their head. Mai and Yugi looked at each other with questioned looks; Tristan and Téa looked puzzled; Joey turned an ugly shade of green and quickly looked away. ..
"Thanks for buying me this dress. I love it!" said Serenity, beaming at Seto.
"No problem." Said Kaiba with a faint smile.
"Can we go to the jewelry shop here?" asked Serenity.
"No, I have a meeting later. Besides, the shops here are too cheap." Said Seto.
"Cheap? That dress you bought for me was over a thousand dollars. It was from Escada too." Said Serenity.
"You deserve something good," Said Seto simply, "Hey, I bought you a gift. Get it from Dementia when you get home."
"Really? What is it?" asked Serenity.
"It's a secret. We need to get going." Said Seto.
"Um.Can...Can.We.Go the other.Um.Way?" said Serenity, suddenly nervous.
"Why?" asked Seto, slightly worried at Serenity's sudden change.
"Nothing." Said Serenity staring at something in front of them.
Seto followed her gaze and found Yugi and the others not far away from them. Tristan and Téa were staring at them like they grew horns; Yugi and Mai were both smiling faintly and trying their hardest to signal them to leave; Joey was looking sick and pretended to ignore them without much success. Serenity tried her best to go in another direction and refused to look at Joey.
"Can we go?" asked Serenity.
"No, it's public property. Come on, Wheeler can't just come and fight me here." Said Seto, beginning to walk towards where the others were sitting.
Serenity whimpered slightly and was dragged along by Seto, her glance turned towards the ground.
"Hello Yugi. Got any new stuff at Mr. Moto's shop?" asked Seto when they reached their table. Lately, Seto and Yugi had gotten along quite well and were beginning something as close to friendship as a person like Seto could get.
"I don't know. You got a great deck but you might like some of the cards we got lately. Just cards that would be pretty good in a collection. Drop by sometime if you want." Said Yugi with a warm smile.
"I'll drop by when I have time." Said Seto.
"Are you going to the party?" asked Mai. "Yeah, you?" said Seto.
"Yep, I just bought my dress." Said Mai pointing at a bag at her feet.
"Well, I'll see you guys at the party." Said Kaiba coldly.
Kaiba and Serenity walked away quickly, leaving the table in total silence.
"Joey, are you and Kaiba still having a cold war?" asked Mai with a slightly annoyed look on her face.
"Were we ever in anything other than what you call a cold war? That freak Kaiba just ignores me. He just walks out here with my sister like there's nothing wrong." Said Joey angrily.
"Tell me Joey, what's wrong with Serenity going out with Kaiba?" asked Yugi.
"What's wrong?!? Everything's wrong! Kaiba's a jerk that thinks everyone's a puppy dog!" said Joey.
"Come on, let's get going. I need to get home to help my mom with dinner." Said Téa, standing up and getting ready to leave.
Everyone stood and got ready to go to wherever they needed to be. Yugi, Mai and Joey decided to go to Duke Devlin's game shop to see if he would be interested in going to the party.
"Hey, I didn't expect you guys to come." Greeted Duke.
"We wanted to drop by and ask you if you would want to go to a party this Saturday." Said Joey.
"Sure, what kind of party?" asked Duke.
"It's a cocktail party for the people that were in the Duelist Kingdom competition." Explained Mai.
"Sounds cool, I guess I'll contact you guys for more information. I have to go somewhere in 5 minutes." Said Duke, checking his watch. "Okay, see you later." Said Yugi.
The three said their goodbyes and left the shop.
