Review
Again at the last moment our little Chibi friend Serenity jumps out of no where.
Chibi Serenity- "Well we are on chapter 3 as it seems and what happened last time you ask. Well I would be glad to tell you! Well you see again Joey was furious with the kiss but it wasn't like I cared or anything he could be angry if he wanted to it was my feelings that counted. Well still Kaiba wouldn't tell me if the kiss was real or if it was fake. I was pretty furious with that. Well after that we preceded to trick my brother.
Chibi Joey- "Which I think was pretty despicable don't you!"
Chibi Serenity- "Joey do we have to go through this again!"
Chibi Joey- "Maybe we do sis."
Chibi Serenity- "Joey I'm gonna murder you!"
Chibi Joey- "Would you do that to your own brother?"
Chibi Serenity- "Maybe I would!"
The fighting goes on and on and Chibi Kaiba steps out.
Chibi Kaiba- He clears out his throat. "Well since those two are fighting I guess I will finish introducing our next chapter. Anyways as Serenity said, we went to keep tricking her brother but Serenity couldn't do it she fell out in tears and screamed saying that I was nice kind and sweet and that she really liked me. Which freaked me out because no one had ever thought of me that way but she cared! Anyways as this happened I was so overwhelmed with love in my heart." At this he starts to do overdramatic poses. "That I held her in my arms with undeniable love! But then she told me she couldn't do this and she couldn't let me get hurt. All when she said this I was wondering why she said it. But anyway she ran away as fast as she could with tears coming down her face. Then Joey preceded to tell me that after his and Serenity's parents had been killed that she had thought that nothing good could ever happen to her in her life and that she was nothing but bad luck." Suddenly Kaiba notices something and a little light bulb pops up over his head. "Hey you know something I didn't call Joey a mutt or a dog! Hey I did it again! Serenity would be so proud of me!" Get a proud arrogant look on his face.
Chibi Serenity- "Oh I'm sorry I forgot I was hosting." Has a cute innocent look on her face as she stands next to Kaiba.
Chibi Kaiba- "Serenity!!!!! Serenity!!!! Guess what!?"
Chibi Serenity- "What is it Kaiba?"
Chibi Kaiba- "I didn't call your brother a mutt!" He said very proudly.
Chibi Serenity- "Really! I'm so proud of you!!!!!" She said happily as she hugged him.
Chibi Kaiba-"Thank you Thank you." He breaks the hug and starts to bow. "I know I'm the best! I'm the man!"
Chibi Serenity- Starts to shake her head. "Just like a man! Anyway we should get back to the story shouldn't we! Well anyway as Kaiba was saying I thought my life was bad luck so I ran away. Well apparently Kaiba ran after me and he saw me by the tree and I jumped up in surprise at the fact that he had chased after me. He walked over to me and told me he loved me! He loves me!"
Chibi Kaiba- "Yep I sure do!"
Chibi Serenity- "Anyway after he told me he loved me he passionately kissed me! I was so happy but then after that my cell phone rang and it was my friend Aya! Well so I ran down the street to meet him and..........." Is suddenly cut off by her brother.
Chibi Joey- "What you to scared to fight me huh Serenity!" Joey yelled at his sister.
Chibi Serenity- "Excuse me!" She starts to run after Joey. "What did you say!?"
Chibi Joey- "You heard me!"
Chibi Kaiba- "Well I guess I'll have to take over. As she was saying she ran down the street and so I followed her and saw these four guys and I was wondering who they could be and then she walked away and went in a hotel with an old man and so I followed them into the room and I hid behind the curtains. What I saw will probably affect me for the rest of my life. Serenity killed that man. I couldn't believe it she was an assassin! Now I hope you enjoy this chapter of Hard Love! Enjoy the show!
A picture starts to show up on the screen but it slowly turns off and two figures appear.
Joycelyn-Hiya! I'm Joycelyn Driscoll!
Jade- And I'm Jade Johnson!
Both- And we are the authors of this story!
Joycelyn-Well anyway the reason I am here today is to say some things. First off the reason for the long wait of updating, the reason for this is unfortunately after I had posted up chapter 2 and was about to post up chapter 3 my computer crashed. And so we had to find some way to revive it but we couldn't so I got a new computer! Which bites because now I am rewriting the 3rd chapter, but I hope that you enjoy it and sorry to keep you in suspense.
Jade-Hey Youko-chan do you want a pringle?
Joycelyn- Of course Yukina-chan you know how much I love Pringles grabs the whole thing and eats it.
Jade-Hey those where my Pringles!
Joycelyn-Well there in my tummy now.
Jade-OH TELL EM ABOUT CAMP!!!!
Joycelyn- Oh yeah another announcement. Well anyway we went to camp for our church and when we went there we got stuck in the worst dorm unfortunately. But anyway we went to the orientation to find out about what team we were going to be on and I saw this girl in a Yu Yu Hakusho shirt and I was like, "Jade! Jade! Look over there!" So Jade looked but still didn't see her and so I pointed her out to Jade. Jade said "Ohhhhhhhhhh I think she's in our dorm." Well I wasn't so sure as I rushed out of the dorm to go play carpet ball. Well anyway I found out she was in our dorm and of course I went over and introduced myself and told her that I noticed her because of the shirt and that I loved that show. She was a little taken back by it and said you like anime!? And we were like of course! And she was like I brought my manga! And we went So did we! And anyway to the point I'm trying to make. We three became inseparable and we were always together and we even got new nicknames at the camp. I became Youko-chan, Jade became Yukina-chan, and Katie became Hiei-chan! Well we decided we wanted to right fanfictions together so we started working on one at camp and are soon going to post it! It's really going to be good! Its all of out writing combined into one! But anyway it may take a while to write the chapters because we have to pass it back in forth through mail with Katie because she lives in Mandeville and for those of you who know anything about Louisiana Belle Chasse and Mandeville are..............wait they aren't far away!!!! My Dad just informed me they are only an hour apart! YAY!!!! That is so great we can meet up on weekends sometime!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Jade-This is great Joycelyn, Katie and Jade together again!!!!
Joycelyn-Yep maybe anyway lets get onto the story and stop babbling. We hope you enjoy this next chapter of Hard Love!
Hard Love Chapter 3
Serenity walked back out of the hotel and to the restaurant where the four men were waiting for her.
Kaiba slowly followed behind her and sat in the booth behind them so he could hear the whole conversation. He had to know why Serenity had killed that man it didn't seem right she was a good person wasn't she!
"Welcome back, Serenity-chan" Said the youngest one as it seemed with dirty blonde hair.
"Thank you Omi-chan" Serenity said smiling at the young boy.
Apparently this boys name was Omi and seemed to know as to what was going on. But this was odd why would Serenity be an assassin? Did she need the money for something like an operation, but if she needed that he would surely pay for it to help her.
"Did you finish the job?" Said the boy with the violet colored hair, looking at her with somewhat emotionless eyes.
"Yes Aya, I finished the job the old lecher is dead." Said Serenity calmly to him, wondering why Aya would even ask that question. Aya knows she always finished her job even if it meant a trip to the hospital. She would never let a job go undone, it was just her determination, she believed that if she didn't finish her job she had failed herself and even if it took month to just complete one job she would finish it.
"Good we just want to make sure you finish this job." Aya said to her calmly.
"Did he hit you anywhere or anything?" Asked one of the boys with the dark brown hair.
"No he didn't hurt me at all Ken, but he did get to touch me in my breast." She shivered at the thought of what had happened. It was defiantly not pleasant at all and she hated even remembering what had happened.
"I wish I could have been in his place!" Said the boy with the medium length dirty blonde hair holding up a beer and having a cigarette in his mouth.
"Youji you pervert! And stop drinking and smoking! You know how many times we had to put you in the hospital!" Serenity yelled at him basically scolding him for his behavior. She had to bring Youji to the hospital many times for his drinking habit. He would be what anyone would call an alcoholic but it didn't stop him from being a good man.
"I can drink all I want!" Youji argued gulping down the whole beer and then started drinking another. He was going to drink all he wanted whether Serenity liked it or not.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Serenity screamed leaning over the table trying to grab the beer away from her friend. She hated him drinking and it was horrible that he was doing it out of spite.
"NO!! SERENITY JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" Youji yelled at her mad and yet he was half drunk.
Serenity was taken back and a tear fell down her face at the comment it was enough to make her cry and run out but she would run and she wouldn't leave. She would stay there and wouldn't let him faze her. "Fine.............Youji."
"Youji!" Ken yelled mad that he screamed at her the way he did.
"Don't yell at her like that!" Aya screamed at Youji, he wouldn't let someone yell at her like that never not in a lifetime. She may not be his girlfriend but he really cared about Serenity.
"Yeah Youji you're drunk!" Yelled Omi also standing up for his friend.
"Whatever man........" Suddenly Youji passed out on the table not breathing. It was so many times this had happened before and it was happening again. He had drunk to much and his heart couldn't take it and he would have to go to the hospital again.
"YOUJI!!!! YOUJI!!!" Serenity yelled shaking her friend trying to wake him hoping that they wouldn't have to take him back to the hospital again. She hated going through this routine it was too much for her and she couldn't stand it and she just wanted it to stop but she always felt like it wouldn't.
"We'll take him to the hospital!" Aya said rushing out with Omi and Ken bringing Youji to the car and driving off.
Serenity would walk to the hospital following along like she always did so she could have some time to herself. That was what she always did when Youji had to be put in the hospital. As Serenity walked out of the restaurant Kaiba was standing there against his limo staring at her sharply.
"What do you think you're doing Serenity!?" He asked her sharply wondering why she had done what she had done.
"Kaiba! I.........I...........I was just with some friends." Serenity tried to lie but she was never good at lying so it would be hard.
"No you aren't I saw everything Serenity! Don't lie to me!" Kaiba yelled even madder that she would lie to him. He thought that they had become close even though it had only been a day.
'Oh no he saw everything! So he knows!' Serenity thought in horror her eyes showing it. She couldn't believe he had found out that she was a killer. "Kaiba u aren't going to tell are you!?"
"Well I should call the cops on you and tell them that I have a killer in my custody." Kaiba said smirking at her hoping to make her lose her nerves.
"Please, don't! I have good reasons for what I do!!" Serenity screamed not wanting to go to jail. She did what she did for the right reasons and though it may not seem like the best job to have its what she just had to do.
"Well then explain to me why you do this!" Kaiba yelled at her wanting to know why she killed people and how in this lifetime there could be any good reason for it!
"I don't kill good people I swear we only kill those who are evil. That is why we do it to get rid of the evil in this world." Serenity stated hoping that he would understand even though she knew that that probably was not going to happen. For people don't just understand why other kill people.
"I understand Serenity, now shouldn't you get to the hospital" Kaiba said a small smile appearing on his face. He knew she wasn't lying and that she was telling him the complete truth. But yet he still didn't think that it was right to kill people.
"You're going to let me go!?" She asked in surprise and hope. She knew that if he let her go he would probably blackmail her for something. But still she had to get to that hospital to help Youji it was important to her.
"Yes and don't worry I wont blackmail you for it." He said walking up to her and kissing her gently on the forehead. "Now don't you have a hospital you need to go to?" Kaiba asked her a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, I do!" She said really just reminding herself. "Thank you!" She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and then starting to run.
"Wait up." Kaiba said grabbing her wrist.
'I knew it was to good to be true.' He was probably going to make her do something for him she was going to hate or maybe even be his personal servant or something or he would tell that she was a killer.
"Why don't I drive you? It would be faster." Kaiba said looking at her a smile on his face. Hoping she would agree to his invitation.
"That's all you want! You don't want me to be your servant or anything like that!?" Serenity asked in surprise that all he wanted was to take her to the hospital. It was a relief to her.
"Servant!" He started to laugh a little but then he realized she was really serious, she was really scared that he would make her do something for him so that he wouldn't tell. He put his hand on her cheek. "No, Serenity I would never make you do anything like that. I told you that I wouldn't blackmail you and I promise you that I wont. I just want to know if you want a ride to the hospital that is all I promise."
"Then of course I'll take the ride!" She said a smile appearing on her face at how he said the words so romantically.
"Then shall we go." Kaiba said as he held the door open for her to get in.
"Yes we should." Serenity said getting in with a smile hoping that moments like these would last forever with him. It seemed like they were going out but he never said that they were going out so it wasn't official yet.
Kaiba got in the car and then looked at her in concern for her friend. "Is he going to be okay?" Kaiba asked her.
"Yeah this happens almost daily with him. He's very reckless so we deal with him going to the hospital a lot." Serenity said looking concerned for her friend but yet not that concerned because in her mind she knew that he would be okay and that nothing would be wrong at all.
"He must drink and smoke a lot. He is an alcoholic right? He doesn't hit you does he!!!?" Kaiba asked in concern the thought just coming to him. What if this guy hit her? Then why would she still want to be his friend it didn't make sense if he did.
"Yes he is an alcoholic but no he had never hit me. Even though he is an alcoholic it doesn't stop him from being a good man. He would never hit me or any of the others." Serenity said confident that she was telling the truth. She wouldn't lie about this it was all the truth she would never lie about her friends.
"That's good! I thought he may have hit you but then it would make no sense for you to be friends with him unless he had blackmail on you too." Kaiba said making a fact.
"No he couldn't get blackmail on a person if he tried. He says stuff like who peed in his Cheerios. Does that sound like someone who would blackmail anyone?" She said sarcastically.
Kaiba made a pretty sick face at the thought of someone peeing in someone cheerios. "Well isn't that comment pleasant?" Kaiba asked in a sarcastic tone as well.
Serenity laughed a little at the face he made but also at the question he made. "Yeah it is the most pleasant comment I've ever heard come from anybody's mouth" She said as she continued laughing.
He smiled as she laughed she had a wonderful laugh. She was always happy and fun to be with and he wished that he could always be with her. He didn't know why he liked her all he knew is that he did and he even said that he loved her. He shouldn't have said that because he wasn't sure that he even loved her. All he knew is that he liked her but not if he loved her so why did he say what he said. It was probably the heat of the moment. Yeah that was it that's all it was. He wanted to ask her out but what if she said not, but wait she kissed him back. So why wouldn't she say yes he was going to ask! "Hey Serenity, could I ask you a question?"
"Yeah of course you can." Serenity said looking at him in question about what he wanted to ask her.
"Would you like to go out with me?" Kaiba said gulping after he asked the question looking at her in her eyes waiting for her answer, hoping that it would be yes.
"Yes of course I would!!!" She said her eyes brightening up, she was so happy now that he wanted to be with her. He wanted to officially go out with her; this was so amazing it was like a fairytale.
"Really!?" Kaiba looked at her in surprise; he couldn't believe she really accepted. He though she had already known how cold he was and even looking at his ice blue eyes would show that he was cold and heartless, but only if people would look behind that they would find that he had a heart and that he could be kind and sweet.
"Yes! Why wouldn't I accept!?" Serenity asked wondering why he would even wonder. Wasn't it obvious that she liked him, wasn't that just a little bit obvious? Well even if it wasn't it wouldn't stop the way she felt inside about him. She really cared about him and she didn't care if anyone cared that she was going out with as they like to call him the cold heartless CEO of Kaiba Corp. But he was totally opposite in her eyes he wasn't cold or heartless.
"Because, I'm not the best person I call your brother a mutt, I started a rivalry with him and it's my fault." Kaiba said looking at the floor of the limo as he also eyed her waiting for her response hoping that at the mention of him calling her brother mutt, dog, and Chihuahua.
"Look, Kaiba I don't care if you did those things to my brother. Yeah it's mean and I love my brother to death but I know my feelings for you are real and I will never deny them." Serenity said looking at him with a smile on her face. She felt happy and what she said was no lie. She couldn't lie, not to him; he pulled her in and made her tell the truth.
A small blush went across Kaiba's face at her words, they were so soft and gentle and loving. "Serenity then I would be honored to call myself your boyfriend." A small smile fell across his lips as he looked at her in her eyes.
"Well it would be an honor to be your girlfriend, Kaiba." Serenity said smiling brightly her eyes lighting up at the thought of them going out. Now she wouldn't be able to worry about anything, except for Youji which didn't bother her very much because of the fact she knew he would be fine.
"Well we're here Serenity." Kaiba said snapping her out of her daydream. "We're at the hospital." And with those words said he opened the door for her so that she could be let out of the car.
"What.......oh um yes we are here!" Serenity said suddenly snapping out of her daydream of wedding days and kids and a house with a yard. She was getting over dramaticised in the whole thing but what girl doesn't. It was normal for a girl especially one at Serenity's age to dream of marriage and kids. So it wasn't as if she had anything wrong with her. She slowly stepped out of the car and looked at Kaiba. "Kaiba, would you like to come in with me?" Serenity asked him knowing that he didn't even know Youji but just asking for the sake of it.
"Of course, he is your friend so now he is my friend and I would be happy to go see how he is doing with you." Kaiba said smiling at her, he had never smiled so much before in fact he hardly ever smiled and yet now he was doing it like it was a normal thing to do and that it was nothing odd. And of course it would seem normal for someone like Serenity to smile all the time but for someone like Seto Kaiba to smile all the time now that would be a miracle. It would be put down in record books everywhere. At least that was how it was now. Back when him and Mokuba where younger it was no problem for him to smile in fact he did it often, but then Gozaburo had adopted them after Kaiba had won that chest match against him and then he got fascinated in Duel Monsters and then his dream of reaching the top and overpowering Gozaburo to become the CEO of Kaiba Corp began. He soon then reached the top and became the youngest CEO in history and worked as he had never worked before. And then smiling became less and less normal for him to do until he didn't smile at all. But Serenity brought his want to smile back to him and it seemed normal to him again but yet he knew others wouldn't think it was normal, not even Mokuba. But he was sure that Mokuba would be happy to see him smile again for once. He could see in Mokuba's eyes how much he longed for it, and even though he gave him an occasional smirk Mokuba still longed for that same smile that he had given him all those years ago. And Kaiba knew it was the truth for he saw it in his little brother's eyes. And Serenity was the cause of it and Serenity would cause his brother's dreams to come true. How this girl made him feel was amazing and he still couldn't explain it at all and didn't think he ever would be able to explain it. Until he found out what these feelings actually were and then maybe just maybe he would be able to explain it but then maybe he wouldn't. He wouldn't know until he found out if this was love or if it was just a crush or puppy love as they call it.
"Really!? Thank you I really would like my new boyfriend to come with me!" Serenity said a smile again brightening her face and liking the sound of calling him her new boyfriend. It just sounded right.
"Well I should accompany my new girlfriend should I not?" Seto said to her kindly offering her his hand so that they could start to walk into the hospital and hoping that she would take it.
Serenity took his hand with a smile and they walked in the hospital to see Aya and the others sitting in the waiting room for Youji.
Ken, Omi, and Aya all looked at her and the mysterious new guy that she was with, and they were holding hands! Wait! What were they doing holding hands? Everyone of them wondered why this was happening. They had never seen this guy before and Serenity always told them everything, she always had told them when she had a new boyfriend or when she had broken up with one and she wouldn't just not tell them.
"WHO IS THIS GUY!?" They all said together standing up at the same time. Then suddenly they all looked back and forth at each other confused at how they could be thinking the same thing.
Serenity was a little taken back at how loud they had yelled and at how furious they has seemed. She knew she didn't tell them about Kaiba and she should have but she really didn't think about it, it just didn't seem that important at the time after Youji had to be taken to the hospital again. "Oh, um this is my new boyfriend Seto Kaiba." She knew they were going to know the name for of course everyone in Domino knew the name Seto Kaiba.
"SETO KAIBA!!!?" They said again in unison, now defiantly angry that she didn't tell them she was going out with a celebrity. Well he wasn't exactly a celebrity, just a name that everyone in the whole city of Domino knows. And when did she meet him! And when did they start going out!
"Yeah hi." Kaiba said to them slowly lifting a hand in the air a little scared of these guys that were supposed to be Serenity's friends, these guys seemed scary at the way they said his name its like he was about to get attacked cause he did something wrong. Did he? He hoped he didn't do anything to these guys
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kaiba." Said Omi holding out his hand to shake Kaiba's.
"Nice to meet you too." Kaiba said shaking Omi's hand in his. This guy wasn't to bad but the one that scared him was the one with the violet hair. He looked so cold and expressionless.
"What's up man, I'm Ken." Ken said picking up his hand, to say hi. He didn't care if Serenity liked this guy or not he still wanted to get to know him anyway it would make no difference in whether or not she liked him or even loved him. Friends usually had the say in a relationship but even if they where in love with that friend they were always fare and really did accept if they thought he was right for her. Not saying that he loved Serenity he didn't but he knew that Aya did and even so he still followed the code and didn't show much emotion toward her. He was still old Aya to her.
"Hi, Ken." Kaiba said holding up a hand as well. He didn't seem bad either but now he knew he would have to meet the cold expressionless man next to them both. But then Kaiba could say nothing he used to be like him too before he met Serenity. This was going to be like looking at himself in the mirror knowing that he used to be the same way as the violet haired man.
"Hi, I'm Aya. Serenity's friend and protector!" Aya said sternly stating a fact to this guy who was going out with his friend. It didn't bother him she had a boy friend no matter how much he cared about Serenity in that way he could not stand in the way of her happiness. That was what love was after all wasn't it. Letting the person you love choose their own path and let them be happy even if it kills you inside. He always though of telling Serenity his feelings but he never did and he never knew why. He just could never bring himself to say those three little words I love you. And it killed him not too, he felt like he was letting her go but he just couldn't tell her and so he just acted like he was emotionless towards her and didn't care when deep inside all he wanted was to hold her in his arms and kiss her and for her to respond with love back for him in her heart. He could even remember the first day Serenity became a Weiss member.
FLASHBACK
"You have a new member, guys." Minx said to the other 4 members of Weiss who were sitting on the couch and various chairs around the room.
"Really, he better be good!" Said Aya sternly, Aya was the leader of Weiss and was very strict about the members that were let in and this guy better be good because he was not in a good mood.
"I just hope he isn't a stiff like you Aya." Youji said, holding a beer in his hand. He wasn't that picky as long as they weren't stuck up and jerks and stiffs. Aya was only a stiff and Aya was cool but he just didn't want another emotionless Aya around the flower shop again.
Aya just looked away from Youji not caring at the words he had spoken as if they were never spoken before.
"I hope that he is just nice." Said Omi the youngest of the group who didn't care if they knew anything about computers or anything like he did he just wanted a nice person to be a Weiss for a change. Not saying the others weren't nice but it was just complicated to understand.
"Yeah as long as he's fun to be with I don't care!" Ken said smiling hoping that the new Weiss member could be his new best friend! He needed a friend who was fun to be with and not boring! He just wanted those things and that's all!
"Oh, you will be surprised." Minx said looking at the staircase. "You can come in now!" Minx yelled to the new agent.
The clanging of boots against the metal stairs could be heard clearly and what they saw shocked them beyond belief this agent was a woman! And she was wearing a black tank top and black hip hugger jeans and her auburn brown hair cascaded down her back.
"BUT SHE IS A GIRL!!!!!" They all screamed in disbelief at how Minx and Persia could want a girl to be a Weiss.
"Yes and her name is Serenity and she is the new Weiss Kreuz member." Minx said looking at Serenity.
"Hi I'm Serenity!" Serenity waved with a smile. They had never seen someone smile like that especially when they were a new member of an assassin group.
"Hi we're Weiss!" They all yelled at unison a slight blush on their faces and then looked at one another seeing they had said everything at the same time.
Serenity laughed. "I see. Well I'm a member of Weiss now and I hope that is no inconvenience to you.
"No it isn't any u just better be good!" Aya yelled looking at her with those emotionless eyes of his.
"Don't worry I'm good." Serenity said meeting him with eye contact, looking at the cold expressionless look he had. Yes he hardly had emotion at all and she could see that just by looking at his eyes and now she knew his new mission to help him to have emotion again.
"Eh..." Was all Aya could get out as his eyes met with hers. She was like nothing he had ever seen she made him want to actually smile. What was this why was he thinking of smiling when he hardly ever smiled in his life. God knew he was not a person that showed many emotions at all but it was because his parents and his sister were both taken from him. Well his sister was in a coma and had been in it for several years. She was hit by a car and he wanted revenge for the man who did that to his sister and he knew it was on purpose. Aya was his sister' name and he took that name on to remember her always until she awoke. It was also why he wore that earring, because he bought those on Aya's 16th birthday and that was the night she was hit by the car and the night they found their mother and father dead. And for that again I say he vowed to take on her name until she regained consciousness and also why he wore that earring. His real name was Ran, Ran Fujimiya and no one knew of this. And no one would ever know.
Everyone stared at Aya they had never seen him at a lost for words especially at a girl. It was odd for him to not be able to say a word back.
"Are you ok?" Serenity said looking at him oddly. He looked like he didn't have a brain. She could see he was at a loss for words but why?
"Y.....Y.......Yeah! I'm fine!" Aya yelled at her not wanting her to think anything like she could take advantage of him. That would be bad, then she would walk allover him and never give him a moments rest. And he would let her do it because he would feel bad that he gave her the chance to do it. Aya was like that if they do it once they can do it over and over again till someone else stops them for him. But he had always had that problem. So it wasn't like it was something that was new to him.
"Ok!" Serenity said still smiling at him kindly.
END OF FLASHBACK
And that was the first time he met Serenity and how he fell in love with her. He couldn't have imagined it when he saw her at her first mission she didn't mind the blood on her shirt sword or hands. Even if it got on her face it didn't matter to her it was okay. It seemed to him like she had done this before or that maybe she had no care for human life but that couldn't be possible at the way she smiled there was hope and love in those eyes and that smile and you couldn't say she didn't care about human life for you would be lying horribly if you did and it would be obvious.
"Its okay Aya, he won't hurt me. I know it we are in love." Serenity said smiling at Seto. Her face was bright like it never was before, her smiles could have brightened the whole world at that point.
"L......Love?" Aya asked in fear hoping that what he heard was a mistake it couldn't be Serenity in love no! She couldn't be he loved her and so she had to be meant for him! Not for some rich guy, who just met her today! She couldn't love him not for real it isn't possible and if it were why would she choose Seto Kaiba of all people! Why, just why? Aya couldn't believe it he was about to die if she said yes that she loved this man. He couldn't lose Serenity not to this guy not to Seto Kaiba.
"Yes I love him so much Aya!" Serenity said smiling and still holding Kaiba's hand. She could never be more happier in her life and if she could she would like to know how. For this was the first time someone really loved her other than her brother was this the hole in her heart. The one she was missing. It had to be and now she had found it the perfect piece to complete the puzzle and that pieces name was Seto Kaiba.
"No......you can't." Aya bravely pronounced he was not going to let someone steal Serenity away he just wasn't. "Seto Kaiba you can't have her!" Aya yelled and pointed his finger at him. He wouldn't let him take Serenity away never.

Again at the last moment our little Chibi friend Serenity jumps out of no where.
Chibi Serenity- "Well we are on chapter 3 as it seems and what happened last time you ask. Well I would be glad to tell you! Well you see again Joey was furious with the kiss but it wasn't like I cared or anything he could be angry if he wanted to it was my feelings that counted. Well still Kaiba wouldn't tell me if the kiss was real or if it was fake. I was pretty furious with that. Well after that we preceded to trick my brother.
Chibi Joey- "Which I think was pretty despicable don't you!"
Chibi Serenity- "Joey do we have to go through this again!"
Chibi Joey- "Maybe we do sis."
Chibi Serenity- "Joey I'm gonna murder you!"
Chibi Joey- "Would you do that to your own brother?"
Chibi Serenity- "Maybe I would!"
The fighting goes on and on and Chibi Kaiba steps out.
Chibi Kaiba- He clears out his throat. "Well since those two are fighting I guess I will finish introducing our next chapter. Anyways as Serenity said, we went to keep tricking her brother but Serenity couldn't do it she fell out in tears and screamed saying that I was nice kind and sweet and that she really liked me. Which freaked me out because no one had ever thought of me that way but she cared! Anyways as this happened I was so overwhelmed with love in my heart." At this he starts to do overdramatic poses. "That I held her in my arms with undeniable love! But then she told me she couldn't do this and she couldn't let me get hurt. All when she said this I was wondering why she said it. But anyway she ran away as fast as she could with tears coming down her face. Then Joey preceded to tell me that after his and Serenity's parents had been killed that she had thought that nothing good could ever happen to her in her life and that she was nothing but bad luck." Suddenly Kaiba notices something and a little light bulb pops up over his head. "Hey you know something I didn't call Joey a mutt or a dog! Hey I did it again! Serenity would be so proud of me!" Get a proud arrogant look on his face.
Chibi Serenity- "Oh I'm sorry I forgot I was hosting." Has a cute innocent look on her face as she stands next to Kaiba.
Chibi Kaiba- "Serenity!!!!! Serenity!!!! Guess what!?"
Chibi Serenity- "What is it Kaiba?"
Chibi Kaiba- "I didn't call your brother a mutt!" He said very proudly.
Chibi Serenity- "Really! I'm so proud of you!!!!!" She said happily as she hugged him.
Chibi Kaiba-"Thank you Thank you." He breaks the hug and starts to bow. "I know I'm the best! I'm the man!"
Chibi Serenity- Starts to shake her head. "Just like a man! Anyway we should get back to the story shouldn't we! Well anyway as Kaiba was saying I thought my life was bad luck so I ran away. Well apparently Kaiba ran after me and he saw me by the tree and I jumped up in surprise at the fact that he had chased after me. He walked over to me and told me he loved me! He loves me!"
Chibi Kaiba- "Yep I sure do!"
Chibi Serenity- "Anyway after he told me he loved me he passionately kissed me! I was so happy but then after that my cell phone rang and it was my friend Aya! Well so I ran down the street to meet him and..........." Is suddenly cut off by her brother.
Chibi Joey- "What you to scared to fight me huh Serenity!" Joey yelled at his sister.
Chibi Serenity- "Excuse me!" She starts to run after Joey. "What did you say!?"
Chibi Joey- "You heard me!"
Chibi Kaiba- "Well I guess I'll have to take over. As she was saying she ran down the street and so I followed her and saw these four guys and I was wondering who they could be and then she walked away and went in a hotel with an old man and so I followed them into the room and I hid behind the curtains. What I saw will probably affect me for the rest of my life. Serenity killed that man. I couldn't believe it she was an assassin! Now I hope you enjoy this chapter of Hard Love! Enjoy the show!
A picture starts to show up on the screen but it slowly turns off and two figures appear.
Joycelyn-Hiya! I'm Joycelyn Driscoll!
Jade- And I'm Jade Johnson!
Both- And we are the authors of this story!
Joycelyn-Well anyway the reason I am here today is to say some things.

And so we had to find some way to revive it but we couldn't so I got a new computer! Which bites because now I am rewriting the 3rd chapter, but I hope that you enjoy it and sorry to keep you in suspense.

Jade-Hey those where my Pringles!
Joycelyn-Well there in my tummy now.
Jade-OH TELL EM ABOUT CAMP!!!!
Joycelyn- Oh yeah another announcement. Well anyway we went to camp for our church and when we went there we got stuck in the worst dorm unfortunately. But anyway we went to the orientation to find out about what team we were going to be on and I saw this girl in a Yu Yu Hakusho shirt and I was like, "Jade! Jade! Look over there!" So Jade looked but still didn't see her and so I pointed her out to Jade. Jade said "Ohhhhhhhhhh I think she's in our dorm." Well I wasn't so sure as I rushed out of the dorm to go play carpet ball. Well anyway I found out she was in our dorm and of course I went over and introduced myself and told her that I noticed her because of the shirt and that I loved that show. She was a little taken back by it and said you like anime!? And we were like of course! And she was like I brought my manga! And we went So did we! And anyway to the point I'm trying to make. We three became inseparable and we were always together and we even got new nicknames at the camp. I became Youko-chan, Jade became Yukina-chan, and Katie became Hiei-chan! Well we decided we wanted to right fanfictions together so we started working on one at camp and are soon going to post it! It's really going to be good! Its all of out writing combined into one! But anyway it may take a while to write the chapters because we have to pass it back in forth through mail with Katie because she lives in Mandeville and for those of you who know anything about Louisiana Belle Chasse and Mandeville are..............wait they aren't far away!!!! My Dad just informed me they are only an hour apart! YAY!!!! That is so great we can meet up on weekends sometime!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Jade-This is great Joycelyn, Katie and Jade together again!!!!
Joycelyn-Yep maybe anyway lets get onto the story and stop babbling. We hope you enjoy this next chapter of Hard Love!
Hard Love Chapter 3
Serenity walked back out of the hotel and to the restaurant where the four men were waiting for her.
Kaiba slowly followed behind her and sat in the booth behind them so he could hear the whole conversation. He had to know why Serenity had killed that man it didn't seem right she was a good person wasn't she!
"Welcome back, Serenity-chan" Said the youngest one as it seemed with dirty blonde hair.
"Thank you Omi-chan" Serenity said smiling at the young boy.
Apparently this boys name was Omi and seemed to know as to what was going on. But this was odd why would Serenity be an assassin? Did she need the money for something like an operation, but if she needed that he would surely pay for it to help her.
"Did you finish the job?" Said the boy with the violet colored hair, looking at her with somewhat emotionless eyes.
"Yes Aya, I finished the job the old lecher is dead." Said Serenity calmly to him, wondering why Aya would even ask that question. Aya knows she always finished her job even if it meant a trip to the hospital. She would never let a job go undone, it was just her determination, she believed that if she didn't finish her job she had failed herself and even if it took month to just complete one job she would finish it.
"Good we just want to make sure you finish this job." Aya said to her calmly.
"Did he hit you anywhere or anything?" Asked one of the boys with the dark brown hair.
"No he didn't hurt me at all Ken, but he did get to touch me in my breast." She shivered at the thought of what had happened. It was defiantly not pleasant at all and she hated even remembering what had happened.
"I wish I could have been in his place!" Said the boy with the medium length dirty blonde hair holding up a beer and having a cigarette in his mouth.
"Youji you pervert! And stop drinking and smoking! You know how many times we had to put you in the hospital!" Serenity yelled at him basically scolding him for his behavior. She had to bring Youji to the hospital many times for his drinking habit. He would be what anyone would call an alcoholic but it didn't stop him from being a good man.
"I can drink all I want!" Youji argued gulping down the whole beer and then started drinking another. He was going to drink all he wanted whether Serenity liked it or not.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Serenity screamed leaning over the table trying to grab the beer away from her friend. She hated him drinking and it was horrible that he was doing it out of spite.
"NO!! SERENITY JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" Youji yelled at her mad and yet he was half drunk.
Serenity was taken back and a tear fell down her face at the comment it was enough to make her cry and run out but she would run and she wouldn't leave. She would stay there and wouldn't let him faze her. "Fine.............Youji."
"Youji!" Ken yelled mad that he screamed at her the way he did.
"Don't yell at her like that!" Aya screamed at Youji, he wouldn't let someone yell at her like that never not in a lifetime. She may not be his girlfriend but he really cared about Serenity.
"Yeah Youji you're drunk!" Yelled Omi also standing up for his friend.
"Whatever man........" Suddenly Youji passed out on the table not breathing. It was so many times this had happened before and it was happening again. He had drunk to much and his heart couldn't take it and he would have to go to the hospital again.
"YOUJI!!!! YOUJI!!!" Serenity yelled shaking her friend trying to wake him hoping that they wouldn't have to take him back to the hospital again. She hated going through this routine it was too much for her and she couldn't stand it and she just wanted it to stop but she always felt like it wouldn't.
"We'll take him to the hospital!" Aya said rushing out with Omi and Ken bringing Youji to the car and driving off.
Serenity would walk to the hospital following along like she always did so she could have some time to herself. That was what she always did when Youji had to be put in the hospital. As Serenity walked out of the restaurant Kaiba was standing there against his limo staring at her sharply.
"What do you think you're doing Serenity!?" He asked her sharply wondering why she had done what she had done.
"Kaiba! I.........I...........I was just with some friends." Serenity tried to lie but she was never good at lying so it would be hard.
"No you aren't I saw everything Serenity! Don't lie to me!" Kaiba yelled even madder that she would lie to him. He thought that they had become close even though it had only been a day.
'Oh no he saw everything! So he knows!' Serenity thought in horror her eyes showing it. She couldn't believe he had found out that she was a killer. "Kaiba u aren't going to tell are you!?"
"Well I should call the cops on you and tell them that I have a killer in my custody." Kaiba said smirking at her hoping to make her lose her nerves.
"Please, don't! I have good reasons for what I do!!" Serenity screamed not wanting to go to jail. She did what she did for the right reasons and though it may not seem like the best job to have its what she just had to do.
"Well then explain to me why you do this!" Kaiba yelled at her wanting to know why she killed people and how in this lifetime there could be any good reason for it!
"I don't kill good people I swear we only kill those who are evil. That is why we do it to get rid of the evil in this world." Serenity stated hoping that he would understand even though she knew that that probably was not going to happen. For people don't just understand why other kill people.
"I understand Serenity, now shouldn't you get to the hospital" Kaiba said a small smile appearing on his face. He knew she wasn't lying and that she was telling him the complete truth. But yet he still didn't think that it was right to kill people.
"You're going to let me go!?" She asked in surprise and hope. She knew that if he let her go he would probably blackmail her for something. But still she had to get to that hospital to help Youji it was important to her.
"Yes and don't worry I wont blackmail you for it." He said walking up to her and kissing her gently on the forehead. "Now don't you have a hospital you need to go to?" Kaiba asked her a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, I do!" She said really just reminding herself. "Thank you!" She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and then starting to run.
"Wait up." Kaiba said grabbing her wrist.
'I knew it was to good to be true.' He was probably going to make her do something for him she was going to hate or maybe even be his personal servant or something or he would tell that she was a killer.
"Why don't I drive you? It would be faster." Kaiba said looking at her a smile on his face. Hoping she would agree to his invitation.
"That's all you want! You don't want me to be your servant or anything like that!?" Serenity asked in surprise that all he wanted was to take her to the hospital. It was a relief to her.
"Servant!" He started to laugh a little but then he realized she was really serious, she was really scared that he would make her do something for him so that he wouldn't tell. He put his hand on her cheek. "No, Serenity I would never make you do anything like that. I told you that I wouldn't blackmail you and I promise you that I wont. I just want to know if you want a ride to the hospital that is all I promise."
"Then of course I'll take the ride!" She said a smile appearing on her face at how he said the words so romantically.
"Then shall we go." Kaiba said as he held the door open for her to get in.
"Yes we should." Serenity said getting in with a smile hoping that moments like these would last forever with him. It seemed like they were going out but he never said that they were going out so it wasn't official yet.
Kaiba got in the car and then looked at her in concern for her friend. "Is he going to be okay?" Kaiba asked her.
"Yeah this happens almost daily with him. He's very reckless so we deal with him going to the hospital a lot." Serenity said looking concerned for her friend but yet not that concerned because in her mind she knew that he would be okay and that nothing would be wrong at all.
"He must drink and smoke a lot. He is an alcoholic right? He doesn't hit you does he!!!?" Kaiba asked in concern the thought just coming to him. What if this guy hit her? Then why would she still want to be his friend it didn't make sense if he did.
"Yes he is an alcoholic but no he had never hit me. Even though he is an alcoholic it doesn't stop him from being a good man. He would never hit me or any of the others." Serenity said confident that she was telling the truth. She wouldn't lie about this it was all the truth she would never lie about her friends.
"That's good! I thought he may have hit you but then it would make no sense for you to be friends with him unless he had blackmail on you too." Kaiba said making a fact.
"No he couldn't get blackmail on a person if he tried. He says stuff like who peed in his Cheerios. Does that sound like someone who would blackmail anyone?" She said sarcastically.
Kaiba made a pretty sick face at the thought of someone peeing in someone cheerios. "Well isn't that comment pleasant?" Kaiba asked in a sarcastic tone as well.
Serenity laughed a little at the face he made but also at the question he made. "Yeah it is the most pleasant comment I've ever heard come from anybody's mouth" She said as she continued laughing.
He smiled as she laughed she had a wonderful laugh. She was always happy and fun to be with and he wished that he could always be with her. He didn't know why he liked her all he knew is that he did and he even said that he loved her. He shouldn't have said that because he wasn't sure that he even loved her. All he knew is that he liked her but not if he loved her so why did he say what he said. It was probably the heat of the moment. Yeah that was it that's all it was. He wanted to ask her out but what if she said not, but wait she kissed him back. So why wouldn't she say yes he was going to ask! "Hey Serenity, could I ask you a question?"
"Yeah of course you can." Serenity said looking at him in question about what he wanted to ask her.
"Would you like to go out with me?" Kaiba said gulping after he asked the question looking at her in her eyes waiting for her answer, hoping that it would be yes.
"Yes of course I would!!!" She said her eyes brightening up, she was so happy now that he wanted to be with her. He wanted to officially go out with her; this was so amazing it was like a fairytale.
"Really!?" Kaiba looked at her in surprise; he couldn't believe she really accepted. He though she had already known how cold he was and even looking at his ice blue eyes would show that he was cold and heartless, but only if people would look behind that they would find that he had a heart and that he could be kind and sweet.
"Yes! Why wouldn't I accept!?" Serenity asked wondering why he would even wonder. Wasn't it obvious that she liked him, wasn't that just a little bit obvious? Well even if it wasn't it wouldn't stop the way she felt inside about him. She really cared about him and she didn't care if anyone cared that she was going out with as they like to call him the cold heartless CEO of Kaiba Corp. But he was totally opposite in her eyes he wasn't cold or heartless.
"Because, I'm not the best person I call your brother a mutt, I started a rivalry with him and it's my fault." Kaiba said looking at the floor of the limo as he also eyed her waiting for her response hoping that at the mention of him calling her brother mutt, dog, and Chihuahua.
"Look, Kaiba I don't care if you did those things to my brother. Yeah it's mean and I love my brother to death but I know my feelings for you are real and I will never deny them." Serenity said looking at him with a smile on her face. She felt happy and what she said was no lie. She couldn't lie, not to him; he pulled her in and made her tell the truth.
A small blush went across Kaiba's face at her words, they were so soft and gentle and loving. "Serenity then I would be honored to call myself your boyfriend." A small smile fell across his lips as he looked at her in her eyes.
"Well it would be an honor to be your girlfriend, Kaiba." Serenity said smiling brightly her eyes lighting up at the thought of them going out. Now she wouldn't be able to worry about anything, except for Youji which didn't bother her very much because of the fact she knew he would be fine.
"Well we're here Serenity." Kaiba said snapping her out of her daydream. "We're at the hospital." And with those words said he opened the door for her so that she could be let out of the car.
"What.......oh um yes we are here!" Serenity said suddenly snapping out of her daydream of wedding days and kids and a house with a yard. She was getting over dramaticised in the whole thing but what girl doesn't. It was normal for a girl especially one at Serenity's age to dream of marriage and kids. So it wasn't as if she had anything wrong with her. She slowly stepped out of the car and looked at Kaiba. "Kaiba, would you like to come in with me?" Serenity asked him knowing that he didn't even know Youji but just asking for the sake of it.
"Of course, he is your friend so now he is my friend and I would be happy to go see how he is doing with you." Kaiba said smiling at her, he had never smiled so much before in fact he hardly ever smiled and yet now he was doing it like it was a normal thing to do and that it was nothing odd. And of course it would seem normal for someone like Serenity to smile all the time but for someone like Seto Kaiba to smile all the time now that would be a miracle. It would be put down in record books everywhere. At least that was how it was now. Back when him and Mokuba where younger it was no problem for him to smile in fact he did it often, but then Gozaburo had adopted them after Kaiba had won that chest match against him and then he got fascinated in Duel Monsters and then his dream of reaching the top and overpowering Gozaburo to become the CEO of Kaiba Corp began. He soon then reached the top and became the youngest CEO in history and worked as he had never worked before. And then smiling became less and less normal for him to do until he didn't smile at all. But Serenity brought his want to smile back to him and it seemed normal to him again but yet he knew others wouldn't think it was normal, not even Mokuba. But he was sure that Mokuba would be happy to see him smile again for once. He could see in Mokuba's eyes how much he longed for it, and even though he gave him an occasional smirk Mokuba still longed for that same smile that he had given him all those years ago. And Kaiba knew it was the truth for he saw it in his little brother's eyes. And Serenity was the cause of it and Serenity would cause his brother's dreams to come true. How this girl made him feel was amazing and he still couldn't explain it at all and didn't think he ever would be able to explain it. Until he found out what these feelings actually were and then maybe just maybe he would be able to explain it but then maybe he wouldn't. He wouldn't know until he found out if this was love or if it was just a crush or puppy love as they call it.
"Really!? Thank you I really would like my new boyfriend to come with me!" Serenity said a smile again brightening her face and liking the sound of calling him her new boyfriend. It just sounded right.
"Well I should accompany my new girlfriend should I not?" Seto said to her kindly offering her his hand so that they could start to walk into the hospital and hoping that she would take it.
Serenity took his hand with a smile and they walked in the hospital to see Aya and the others sitting in the waiting room for Youji.
Ken, Omi, and Aya all looked at her and the mysterious new guy that she was with, and they were holding hands! Wait! What were they doing holding hands? Everyone of them wondered why this was happening. They had never seen this guy before and Serenity always told them everything, she always had told them when she had a new boyfriend or when she had broken up with one and she wouldn't just not tell them.
"WHO IS THIS GUY!?" They all said together standing up at the same time. Then suddenly they all looked back and forth at each other confused at how they could be thinking the same thing.
Serenity was a little taken back at how loud they had yelled and at how furious they has seemed. She knew she didn't tell them about Kaiba and she should have but she really didn't think about it, it just didn't seem that important at the time after Youji had to be taken to the hospital again. "Oh, um this is my new boyfriend Seto Kaiba." She knew they were going to know the name for of course everyone in Domino knew the name Seto Kaiba.
"SETO KAIBA!!!?" They said again in unison, now defiantly angry that she didn't tell them she was going out with a celebrity. Well he wasn't exactly a celebrity, just a name that everyone in the whole city of Domino knows. And when did she meet him! And when did they start going out!
"Yeah hi." Kaiba said to them slowly lifting a hand in the air a little scared of these guys that were supposed to be Serenity's friends, these guys seemed scary at the way they said his name its like he was about to get attacked cause he did something wrong. Did he? He hoped he didn't do anything to these guys
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kaiba." Said Omi holding out his hand to shake Kaiba's.
"Nice to meet you too." Kaiba said shaking Omi's hand in his. This guy wasn't to bad but the one that scared him was the one with the violet hair. He looked so cold and expressionless.
"What's up man, I'm Ken." Ken said picking up his hand, to say hi. He didn't care if Serenity liked this guy or not he still wanted to get to know him anyway it would make no difference in whether or not she liked him or even loved him. Friends usually had the say in a relationship but even if they where in love with that friend they were always fare and really did accept if they thought he was right for her. Not saying that he loved Serenity he didn't but he knew that Aya did and even so he still followed the code and didn't show much emotion toward her. He was still old Aya to her.
"Hi, Ken." Kaiba said holding up a hand as well. He didn't seem bad either but now he knew he would have to meet the cold expressionless man next to them both. But then Kaiba could say nothing he used to be like him too before he met Serenity. This was going to be like looking at himself in the mirror knowing that he used to be the same way as the violet haired man.
"Hi, I'm Aya. Serenity's friend and protector!" Aya said sternly stating a fact to this guy who was going out with his friend. It didn't bother him she had a boy friend no matter how much he cared about Serenity in that way he could not stand in the way of her happiness. That was what love was after all wasn't it. Letting the person you love choose their own path and let them be happy even if it kills you inside. He always though of telling Serenity his feelings but he never did and he never knew why. He just could never bring himself to say those three little words I love you. And it killed him not too, he felt like he was letting her go but he just couldn't tell her and so he just acted like he was emotionless towards her and didn't care when deep inside all he wanted was to hold her in his arms and kiss her and for her to respond with love back for him in her heart. He could even remember the first day Serenity became a Weiss member.
FLASHBACK
"You have a new member, guys." Minx said to the other 4 members of Weiss who were sitting on the couch and various chairs around the room.
"Really, he better be good!" Said Aya sternly, Aya was the leader of Weiss and was very strict about the members that were let in and this guy better be good because he was not in a good mood.
"I just hope he isn't a stiff like you Aya." Youji said, holding a beer in his hand. He wasn't that picky as long as they weren't stuck up and jerks and stiffs. Aya was only a stiff and Aya was cool but he just didn't want another emotionless Aya around the flower shop again.
Aya just looked away from Youji not caring at the words he had spoken as if they were never spoken before.
"I hope that he is just nice." Said Omi the youngest of the group who didn't care if they knew anything about computers or anything like he did he just wanted a nice person to be a Weiss for a change. Not saying the others weren't nice but it was just complicated to understand.
"Yeah as long as he's fun to be with I don't care!" Ken said smiling hoping that the new Weiss member could be his new best friend! He needed a friend who was fun to be with and not boring! He just wanted those things and that's all!
"Oh, you will be surprised." Minx said looking at the staircase. "You can come in now!" Minx yelled to the new agent.
The clanging of boots against the metal stairs could be heard clearly and what they saw shocked them beyond belief this agent was a woman! And she was wearing a black tank top and black hip hugger jeans and her auburn brown hair cascaded down her back.
"BUT SHE IS A GIRL!!!!!" They all screamed in disbelief at how Minx and Persia could want a girl to be a Weiss.
"Yes and her name is Serenity and she is the new Weiss Kreuz member." Minx said looking at Serenity.
"Hi I'm Serenity!" Serenity waved with a smile. They had never seen someone smile like that especially when they were a new member of an assassin group.
"Hi we're Weiss!" They all yelled at unison a slight blush on their faces and then looked at one another seeing they had said everything at the same time.
Serenity laughed. "I see. Well I'm a member of Weiss now and I hope that is no inconvenience to you.
"No it isn't any u just better be good!" Aya yelled looking at her with those emotionless eyes of his.
"Don't worry I'm good." Serenity said meeting him with eye contact, looking at the cold expressionless look he had. Yes he hardly had emotion at all and she could see that just by looking at his eyes and now she knew his new mission to help him to have emotion again.
"Eh..." Was all Aya could get out as his eyes met with hers. She was like nothing he had ever seen she made him want to actually smile. What was this why was he thinking of smiling when he hardly ever smiled in his life. God knew he was not a person that showed many emotions at all but it was because his parents and his sister were both taken from him. Well his sister was in a coma and had been in it for several years. She was hit by a car and he wanted revenge for the man who did that to his sister and he knew it was on purpose. Aya was his sister' name and he took that name on to remember her always until she awoke. It was also why he wore that earring, because he bought those on Aya's 16th birthday and that was the night she was hit by the car and the night they found their mother and father dead. And for that again I say he vowed to take on her name until she regained consciousness and also why he wore that earring. His real name was Ran, Ran Fujimiya and no one knew of this. And no one would ever know.
Everyone stared at Aya they had never seen him at a lost for words especially at a girl. It was odd for him to not be able to say a word back.
"Are you ok?" Serenity said looking at him oddly. He looked like he didn't have a brain. She could see he was at a loss for words but why?
"Y.....Y.......Yeah! I'm fine!" Aya yelled at her not wanting her to think anything like she could take advantage of him. That would be bad, then she would walk allover him and never give him a moments rest. And he would let her do it because he would feel bad that he gave her the chance to do it. Aya was like that if they do it once they can do it over and over again till someone else stops them for him. But he had always had that problem. So it wasn't like it was something that was new to him.
"Ok!" Serenity said still smiling at him kindly.
END OF FLASHBACK
And that was the first time he met Serenity and how he fell in love with her. He couldn't have imagined it when he saw her at her first mission she didn't mind the blood on her shirt sword or hands. Even if it got on her face it didn't matter to her it was okay. It seemed to him like she had done this before or that maybe she had no care for human life but that couldn't be possible at the way she smiled there was hope and love in those eyes and that smile and you couldn't say she didn't care about human life for you would be lying horribly if you did and it would be obvious.
"Its okay Aya, he won't hurt me. I know it we are in love." Serenity said smiling at Seto. Her face was bright like it never was before, her smiles could have brightened the whole world at that point.
"L......Love?" Aya asked in fear hoping that what he heard was a mistake it couldn't be Serenity in love no! She couldn't be he loved her and so she had to be meant for him! Not for some rich guy, who just met her today! She couldn't love him not for real it isn't possible and if it were why would she choose Seto Kaiba of all people! Why, just why? Aya couldn't believe it he was about to die if she said yes that she loved this man. He couldn't lose Serenity not to this guy not to Seto Kaiba.
"Yes I love him so much Aya!" Serenity said smiling and still holding Kaiba's hand. She could never be more happier in her life and if she could she would like to know how. For this was the first time someone really loved her other than her brother was this the hole in her heart. The one she was missing. It had to be and now she had found it the perfect piece to complete the puzzle and that pieces name was Seto Kaiba.
