Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! so don't sue me.

Just to let you all know, there'll be a lot of different storylines going on in this fic. Seto X Serenity is just the main plot. Also, I'm probably going to put some yaoi in here, so if you don't like it, I apologize.

Also, thanks to everyone that reviewed! I really apprieciate it!


Serenity Wheeler sensed the man's presence even before he decided to approach her. She'd been like that for as long as she could remember. Her sixth sense, she called it. It was a tool she had used to replace her eyes. Serenity wrapped the fleece coat tightly around her as a gust of wind nearly took her off her feet. It was the coat that her brother, Joey, had bought her with his own money.

She didn't really know why she had come here. When she had abruptly left the house an hour ago, she had no explanation for Joey. She just felt that there was something she needed to do there. She wasn't planning on talking to him, that's for sure, and she knew that he wasn't going to make conversation either. He was just going to watch her, and for some reason, Serenity didn't mind.

After awhile, she felt him leave. Turning around, she watched as he walked away, his trench coat blowing behind him. Joey had always warned her about Seto Kaiba. 'He can't be trusted,' he always said every time she mentioned him. In truth, Serenity felt that the mysterious business man wasn't a jerk, just lonely. If she could read minds, Serenity was quite sure that she would find his full of conflicting emotions.

As she watched the last faint outline of Kaiba walk off into the distance, she realized something she had never felt before. Serenity Wheeler was in love. 'Love? It can't be,' she tried to tell herself. She sat in the snow awhile longer, until she stood up and tried to push all thoughts of Kaiba from her mind. It was time to get ready for dinner at Yugi's house.


Seto walked into the house, his head abuzz. He could have sworn that he had just seen an angel, though he knew it wasn't so. The beautiful creature in the park was just the mutt's younger sister, Serenity. He had never noticed her before. After all, she came from a family of idiots. When she had become so alluring in appearance was a mystery to him. Standing in the front hallway, all Kaiba could think about was the way her auburn hair had blown with the wind. She hadn't seen him, this was almost certain. But what if she had? Serenity would most likely consider him a crazy stalker. And if she told Joey...that would be the end of him.

Seto's thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of feet on stairs. He mentally braced himself for the harsh words that would soon fly in his direction. However, instead Tea just stood there looking at him. It was always this way. As much as Tea hated him at times, she never raised her voice after he'd come back after their fights. Taking a step towards him, she brushed the snow out of his hair.

"You must be freezing," she tells him. "I made some hot chocolate, would you like some?"

Kaiba nods and Tea turns towards the kitchen. However, Seto grabs her arm and brings her towards him, kissing her lightly on the lips. For a moment, she looked taken aback, then smiled.

"By the way, Tea. I'd be happy to join you tonight at Yugi's house," Kaiba told her, unaware himself of his ulterior motives. It was just to make up for this afternoon, he tried to tell himself, but knew that it was not so.


Joey Wheeler was once again confused. When Serenity had left earlier that day, muttering something about someone calling her there, he thought that she'd been strange. Now that she'd returned, however, he was beginning to question her sanity. Ever since she'd come back home as a frozen icicle she'd been happier then he'd ever seen her before. And Serenity, as mostly everyone knew, was a generally happy person. What bothered Joey most, though, was how she refused to tell him where she'd gone or what had happened. Now the blonde stood at his sister's door and he heard himself knock.

"Come in!" Serenity called out to him cheerfully. He opened her door and walked into her room. Although she was twenty and he was twenty three, they still lived together. His sister now sat on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, smiling happily. Joey tried to think of the right words to say, but, as always, he just came out and said it.

"Are you doing drugs?" he asked her. Serenity's smile never faltered.

"Why no, brother. Why on earth would I do a stupid thing like that?"

Joey shook his head, trying to clear it. "No reason..." he said, and left the room. He was completely and totally confused. His sister had become a psycho.


Yugi hung up the phone and turned towards his Yami.

"That was Tea, it turns out that Kaiba is coming after all." The taller version of the vertically challenged man just nodded. Now Yugi started talking again, but to no one in particular. "I honestly have no idea why she stays with him. It's not like she loves him or anything." Once again, the pharaoh nodded, but inside his head was full of thoughts.

He had been in love with Tea for a long while, certainly longer than Kaiba. When she had married that man Yami's heart had just about shattered into pieces, and he was quite sure that his hikari had noticed. In truth, when Yami had heard that Tea was coming alone, his hopes had risen. He felt guilty for having never confessed his true feelings towards her, but he had thought, that if he could have just gotten her alone for a few minutes, he could've gathered up enough courage to confess his undying love.

Yami sighed again and began helping his hikari set the table. Or tables. There were quite a few people coming, and Yami hated most of them.

"Let's see..." murmered Yugi to himself. "If we put Marik and Malik over here and Ryou and Bakura at the opposite end, then there'll be no problem there. And I guess we should separate Kaiba and Joey, or they'll bite each others heads off..." Yami tuned Yugi out and sighed yet again. It was going to be a long night.
