Notice: A thousand apologies for not writing sooner, but school just
started and I'm as busy as I can be. Just to let you guys know, this is my
first fan fiction. I'm a writer, I write my own books. So if you happen to
think that the characteristics of the characters are not exactly as their
supposed to be, well then, I'm sorry but that's as good as it gets. Thanks
for all the reviews you guys took the time to write and I hope you enjoy
this chapter. R&R!
Chapter 11
************************************************************************
After placing her bags in the back seat, Serenity waited for Seto to come back from talking to a business customer they just say in the parking lot. She was still slightly uncomfortable from the shock of seeing her brother.
Until a few minutes ago, life felt perfectly normal without her brother or any of his friends. It seemed that it was the way life was supposed to be, carefree and joyful. But now reality slammed into her. She wasn't supposed to be here. Her mother would worry about why she vanished. The final exams for school were coming up.
....
Not to mention that going to the party would mean seeing Joey there, and that would certainly lead to uneasiness. And that was just minimizing what really could happen. What if Joey decided to fight Seto? What if the whole thing was made public? Seto was a wealthy person, and his company was famous enough that something like that would get on some media article. Thought flew through her head, imprisoning Serenity in a state of confusion. It was until Seto came into the car that her thoughts were interrupted.
"Are you okay?" asked Seto as he sat into the seat.
"I. I'm fine." Said Serenity.
"Are you sure?" asked Seto, looking slightly worried.
"Maybe I shouldn't go to the party on Saturday." Said Serenity.
"Why?"
"I just don't want to see my brother there." Serenity replied with a shrug.
"Go. It's going to be fine. There's going to be so many people that it would be pretty amazing if you did notice your brother. It'll be fun." Said Seto, trying to convince Serenity to come.
"I don't know. What if I do see him?" asked Serenity. "Pretend you don't?" said Seto with a convincing glance and a slight grin.
"Oh, I guess." muttered Serenity, " I don't know, maybe I just shouldn't go."
"Go see the gift I got for you and then decide if you want to go or not." Said Seto with a comforting smile. Leaning over on his seat, he gave Serenity a quick kiss on her cheek.
"Okay. Let's go home then." Said Serenity, her face looking less lost and confused and more determined.
Seto started the engine and they started their drive home, into the peaceful and carefree protection of the castle separated from the rest of the world, which might just be an illusion.

"I'll see you guys later, said Yugi as he left Mai and Joey for his grandfather's shop.
"We'll see you tomorrow then." Said Mai, as she and Joey head off for the other direction.
There were no customers when Yugi arrived in the game shop. The only person there was Yugi's grandfather, dusting the old shelves and counters.
"Well Yugi, how was your day." Asked his grandfather as he walked in.
"Fine I guess. The girls got dresses for the party." Said Yugi as he threw his backpack on a counter.
"You must all be very excited." Said Mr. Motou.
"Yeah." Said Yugi, heading towards the back room, "Oh, can you tell me if Kaiba comes here?"
"Oh, of course. It's great that you guys aren't enemies anymore." Said Mr. Motou, and continued to mumble on ever thought Yugi already left the front room of the store.
About half an hour later, Kaiba visited the store.
"Hello, Mr. Motou. I see that your shop is going pretty well." Said Kaiba is his usual bone piercing cold voice.
"Why, hello, Mr. Kaiba. How are you? Yugi's in the back room." Said Mr. Motou with a sincere smile.
"Thank you." Said Kaiba as he turned to go to the back room. Yugi greeted him at the door with a warm smile.
"I didn't expect you to be here." Said Yugi.
"Just dropped by." Said Kaiba.
"Umm, how's Serenity?" Asked Yugi hesitantly.
"She's fine." Replied Kaiba shortly.
"Is she still coming to the party?" asked Yugi. After what happened today, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Serenity decided not to come.
"She's still coming." Said Kaiba.
"Well, that's nice to hear." Said Yugi, " Oh, do you need something?"
"No, not really, I just needed to ask you something." Said Kaiba.
"Oh, what is it?" said Yugi, slightly amazed that the great Seto Kaiba would need to ask him anything.
"Tell the puppy that it was his fault Serenity is with me." Said Kaiba, turning to leave.
"What? What do you mean?" asked Yugi, confused.
"If he didn't forbid Serenity to be with me, none of this would have happened." Said Kaiba, leaving the room.
Yugi fell silent, thinking about what Kaiba just said. It was a bit saucy, but it was the truth. None of this would have happened if Joey didn't lock Serenity up. Maybe he should tell Joey about what Kaiba said. But something caused Yugi to quickly dispose that thought.
It would mean a beating from Joey if he did. So he might as well shut up and not say anything about it to anyone.
