Lass: Hi there everybody! I updated!
Serenity: Yay, great! So you got reviews?
Lass: Yes, I did! Isn't it wonderful? I got three wonderful reviews, and I want to thank LuQ Warm Soup, Tinyflyer02 and Daisy-chanMistress of Evil very much for the reviews.
Serenity: So, can we start now? They reviewed because they wanted you to update, not for some chatting over here.
Lass: Ok, but the disclaimer has yet to be done. And no sees Serenity's terrified face you don't have to do it this time, Seren. One of the others has to do it this time.
Everyone groans
Lass: But, to make it a little nicer, I will give the one who does it a price.
Serenity: What's it?
Lass: The one who does it will be given a great role. Well, who wants to have it, huh?
Mokuba: Well, it sounds pretty nice. I will do it. So, uh, what was it again? Oh yeah; Lass does not own any of the Yu-Gi-Oh characters or something. If she did, I would beg her for a bigger part in the series. She does own a lot of books, and some clothes...
Lass coughs
Mokuba: But that has nothing to do with the fic. Something which she does owns is the plot of this and the computer she is writing it on. Do I get a role now, Lass?
Lass: Sure, cutie. I bet you want to read it. Well, let's see...
It was a beautiful day. The sun shone, and there was a nice temperature. Smiling, Serenity walked over to her friend Yugi's game shop. She saw all of her friends waiting for her already, so she made a quick run to them, ignoring the pain.
"Hi there, guys! Sorry I'm a little late!" "No big point, Seren! But we'll have to hurry if we want to make it in time for school." Her brother Joey answered.
Laughing and talking the group of friends fast-walked to their school. When they arrived at the big building, they saw a limousine standing outside.
"Moneybags had to show his superiority again," Joey murmured angrily. At that, Japan's richest teenager came out of the vehicle. He looked around coldly and smirked when he saw Joey and his friends standing down the road. After that, he walked into the school building, acting like he was a king and everyone else his servants. His little brother walked besides him, greeting everybody, and making Kaiba look even more like a rock.
"Aw, come on, Joey, Kaiba isn't that bad," Yugi said nervously. Joey was looking at him as if he was mad, and so did Tristan and Duke. Ryou, Mai and Tea looked at him a little doubtful, and Serenity seemed to be somewhere else inside her mind.
"Is not that bad?! Yugi, are you crazy?" At her brother's loud voice, Serenity seemed to wake up again. "What's up?" "He...he...said that...that Kaiba isn't...isn't that bad!" Joey stuttered out of disbelief.
Serenity looked at him strangely. "What makes you think he is 'that bad'?" she asked curiously. "He's always calling me a dog, always annoying us, always bragging about how rich he is, always..." "Caring for his little brother, most of the time helping us out, though telling us he hates it. Come on, big brother, he thinks you're a jerk, though you aren't, we all know that. I adore you, you know. But he thinks you're bad. His little brother adores him, and sees his positive sides. Maybe he isn't that bad."
They were walking into the school, but kept talking at the point they had to split up for their separate classes.
"I'm sorry little sis, but Kaiba just somehow seems to be born like a jerk, and I think he'll always be."
"But, Joey, Serenity is right. I mean, he did help us out a lot, and what she said about his brother was right too," Yugi entered the conversation again. But now, Tristan began too.
"Yeah, Joey's right, the guy is a creep, guys. I mean, come on, he's as cold as an ice pillar."
"But around his brother, he seems to be a lot nicer," Serenity countered. "Yes, he would do anything for his little brother," helped Yugi.
"Yeah, well..." Joey started, but he was cut off by the bell. Everyone looked at each other in horror, and while shouting they'd see each other after classes running to their classrooms.
Serenity entered the class, panting. Her teacher was just about to start with the lesson. Then she saw the girl stand at the door, completely out of breath. She smiled at Serenity, and told her to sit down quickly. Serenity did what she was told, and the teacher began. "All right class; open your books at page..."
Serenity was standing at the school gate, waiting for her friends to come from their classes. She snickered a little when she thought about why they could possibly not be there yet. Maybe they had detention because they were late this morning, thanks to their discussion about Kaiba that morning.
She sat down on the wall and grabbed her English' book to learn some homework for next day.
After about a quarter of learning, completely forgetting about her surroundings, she suddenly heard a voice besides her. "Hey Serenity!" She almost fell off the wall, a little terrified. But she soon got her composure back again, and she smiled brightly at the little kid who had said it.
"Hey there, Mokuba! How are you doing?" she asked him kindly. "I'm fine, Serenity, and how are you?" "Fine," she lied. Her stomach was still very painful, and over the day, it hadn't become much better. "What are you doing here alone?" she asked the cute little boy.
"Same as you, I guess..." "What do you mean?" He looked at her naughtily, and answered in an amused voice. "I'm waiting for my brother, and I take it you're waiting for yours?" "That's right. Hey, have you got any idea what's taking them this long?" If possible, his look became even naughtier. "Yes, I sure know..." he said mysteriously. He sounded as if he was about to crack up with laughter. "Would you tell me?" she asked unsure.
"Y...yes," he giggled. "What's it?" He shuddered with laughter as he told her. "Well, you know, our brothers... And Tristan and Duke... They...they...they started some kind of a food fight in the cantina." "What?!" she exclaimed, sounding surprised. Mokuba wasn't able to stop laughing, but, in between giggles, he managed to explain it to the surprised girl. "Well, they... they were arguing, and then... and then, they started... they started throwing with food, and... and it became such a... such a mess and... and other people, they... they joined in and... and everyone was... was dripping with food, and oh, you should have seen it, Serenity. It was just magnificent. Seto and Joey, both throwing everything they could find at each other!" By now, both Serenity and Mokuba were laughing their heads off.
She could just imagine it. Both throwing all sorts of things at each other, both completely covered with food. But suddenly something pulled through her stomach, and immediately she was, instead of laughing, leaning against the wall, trying to ease the pain.
Mokuba was looking at her worried. "Serenity, are you ok?" he asked worried. Serenity?" His voice seemed to come from far away, as if he had walked away.
"Serenity!" She fell down to the ground, and he caught her just in time. What to do now? They were completely alone here, with no one to help, and he couldn't leave her alone this way.
Luckily, help was coming. "Serenity! Mokuba, what happened to her?" Tea was running their way, shortly followed by Yugi, Ryou and Mai. They sat besides them, and Mai felt Serenity's temperature.
Meanwhile, Tea was beaming questions at poor Mokuba, who didn't even have time to answer them before a new one came. Finally, Yugi decided to help Mokuba.
"Tea, you have to calm down. You're not getting any answers if you don't give him any time to answer." At that, Tea quieted.
"Right, Mokuba, what happened?"
"Well, I just told Serenity why her brother wasn't here yet, and she, well, the both of us, were laughing when I told her about the food fight. Suddenly she stopped laughing, and grabbed onto her stomach, and then she fainted."
None of them knew what this was about, so they just waited until Serenity woke up again.
After a while, she began to stir. As on cue, at that moment, Joey, Tristan, Duke and Kaiba walked to the group. "What's going on here?" Kaiba asked with his cold voice. But most of the sentence wasn't audible, because Joey screamed trough it. "Serenity!"
At that moment Serenity opened her eyes. First, she didn't know where she was anymore. When she puzzled it out, she looked surprised at the group surrounding her. "What happened?" she managed to ask.
"Mokuba told us you fainted. Are you all right now?" Serenity looked puzzled, but, after being painfully reminded of it, she remembered; her stomach.
"I guess so..." she answered quietly.
"Come on, Mokuba," Kaiba said coldly. "We're going home. I don't feel much for being around these weaklings any longer than this."
"Why you..." Joey growled.
"Come on you two," Yugi interfered. "You just got punished for making trouble; don't start all over again now, ok?"
Kaiba gave Joey a death glare, and turned around. "Come on, Mokuba."
Mokuba was clearly unsure about what to do now. Serenity gave him a small nod and a smile, telling him to go with his brother. He smiled at the girl brightly and mouthed the words 'see you' to her. Then, he ran after his brother, starting to tell him all funny things that had happened today, but avoiding the subject of the food fight.
Joey growled as they disappeared out of sight. "The jerk. The filthy..." "Joey!" Mai cut off his tirade at Kaiba. "Mind your language!" "But it's right. He's just a big..." He cut off when Mai glared at him.
Suddenly he felt something wet fall on his nose. He looked up to the sky, and saw it was completely covered with big, grey clouds. "Shit," he muttered. Another raindrop hit him. "Oh," Serenity shrieked. "I have to get home!"
What was she thinking? She had to be at home already. She had waited much too long. Not only had she promised her father she'd get home right after school, but the body paint she used was not waterproof either. If it washed off and her friends saw it...
A raindrop hit her arm, and as she watched, the skin over there seemed to become a little blue. She wasn't really thinking when she pushed aside Ryou and Duke and running towards home. Really not thinking... She left her schoolbag behind. All she could think was that she needed to get home as soon as possible.
Millions of raindrops hit the panicked girl, and her scratches and bruises became slowly visible. Just then, she reached her home.
Meanwhile her friends were stunned with her sudden disappearance. "What was that?" said Tristan, putting the thoughts of every one of them into words. "I have no idea..." a shocked Joey answered. The rain became more vicious and they decided to get back into the school before they were completely soaked, calling their houses they would be home later, if necessary.
When Serenity walked inside, she heard the door slam shut behind her. Shaking, she turned around. Her father stood besides the door, a dangerous look plastered on his face. "I told you not to be late again." His soft voice sounded like honey, but Serenity knew she was trapped inside it, like a bee would be trapped inside honey.
"If you don't want to listen..." The cat played with the mouse, and both knew the mouse was doomed. "You will have to face the consequences..."
He was closing in on the frightened girl and she backed up until she was standing against a wall. Outside, the rain had stopped.
Unavoidable, the first slap hit her. And the second did too... And the third...
She heard the doorbell ring, but she couldn't get up. "Stay down, bitch. And don't you dare say a word," he threatened. He then went to open the door.
"Hey, is Serenity there?" It was Tea! "Well, yes, but she's sleeping now," she heard her father lie. "She seemed pretty tired to me, so I'd rather not wake her up. But maybe I can help..." 'No, Tea. Please say you want to see me! Please...'
"Yes, she left her schoolbag at school. Would you give it to her?" 'No!' "Yes, of course. Thank you for coming." "It's ok. I'll see her tomorrow. Bye, mister Wheeler!" "Bye Tea!"
'No! Tea, please come back. Help me... somebody.' Her father entered the room again. The look in his eyes was terrifying. In a sudden move, he picked her up by her throat and slammed her against the wall.
'Somebody, please help...'
Serenity: Wow, I sure go trough a lot.
Lass: You can say that.
Serenity: And who's going to save me from this man?
Lass: Well, it can be about anyone now. I haven't made a real choice yet, though.
Serenity: Please, don't let it be Tristan or Duke. Puppy dog eyes
Lass: Ew, no! They weren't ever in the competition anyway. I just don't think I could make that work. I guess other authors are better writing about those couples.
Serenity: Just hurry up, I want to know the name of my hero, or whatever I should call him.
Lass: I hope I know next time I update. I might put the name inside then. But maybe some nice reviewers would like to help pick someone 'hint, hint!'
Serenity: I really hope so. So, people review!
Lass: I would be really thankful if you would. Really!
Serenity: Yay, great! So you got reviews?
Lass: Yes, I did! Isn't it wonderful? I got three wonderful reviews, and I want to thank LuQ Warm Soup, Tinyflyer02 and Daisy-chanMistress of Evil very much for the reviews.
