Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh, it's characters and its Duel Monsters are not mine. Okay... so I purchased a few Duel Monster cards... You know the one's with Kaiba on the box. Ha! I want anything with Kaiba. He's number one and no offence, but NO ONE is hotter than Kaiba. NO ONE. These are just my feelings... I sure others think the other guys are much better. So here is Chap 11.

Serenity walked down the hall, admiring the tapestries of different Dragons, her eyes resting on one of a Red-Eyes Black Dragon. "Like your brothers." She turned in heavy surprised and Lord Devlin walked over to her. "I see you fear and love for the creature." Serenity nodded as the black-haired, green-eyed man stepped closer to her. He was beautiful; could probably handle himself in a fight. "Lord Devlin---"

"It's rare when someone calls me Duke, however I believe I'll never mind if you were to call me by my given name and I'd think it might lighten my heart if you would." Serenity was taken aback, she was always around men who were grabby and rude with their false affection but he was kind and respectful and true. "Duke?" he nodded and brushed fingers against the back of her hand, before lifting the small hand and brushing a kiss to four knuckles. Serenity got her hand freed and twisted the cloth of her dress's hem. "I'm sorry." He nodded and looked back at the tapestry. "I suppose that was the wrong thing to do, so therefore it is my fault." Serenity shook her head. "No! I'm just not use to it is all. I worked at an Inn where there were all types of men, not like you of course. They always grabbed. And I'm sorry! Sorry about the death of your men! The only one to survive was that Knight---" Serenity explained in a rush, but as his hand grabbed her wrist while the other arm encircled her waist he dipped her slightly and fixed a kiss on her soft lips. Serenity shut her eyes tight but as he continued to kiss her she relaxed. He let her wrist go and stroked the back of her neck, her lips moving slowly against his, her mouth opening occasionally. He finally pulled away and rested the tip of his nose against hers as he pressed his forehead to hers. "Nothing is your fault." Her hand rested on his shoulder gingerly and she drew in a breath. "That was my first kiss." She said, breathlessly. Duke smiled and shook his head. "It was impulsive, I was wrong." He released his grip around her waist and walked away. Serenity just stood there still trying to recover her senses. Her brown eyes filled with salty liquid and she shut her eyes to hold back the tears. Resting her hands against her cheek she wept. "Why am I crying, that was the best kiss ever." She whispered to no one but herself.

Duke bounded up the steps and turned the corner to where his quarters were. He was definitely impulsive, but she made him do it with her beauty and her weakness. All he wanted was to transport strength into her being. Make her feel protected, but it was still wrong and he should never have touched a lady like that, not without her consent, but then she had kissed him back. Maybe with time and knowledge of one another... he could marry her? If wishes would only came true.

How was that? Maybe I make the guys too forward. Let's see how each of the characters play out. Kaiba and Yami for Téa. Tristan (Though there has yet to be a show) and Duke for Serenity. Joey for Mai. The last seems simple enough.

I'm gonna cry, I didn't think anyone would like this story, but people do, they're always wanting me to update. Good things... Good things.
