Review

And of course again out little Chibi friends appear.

Chibi Serenity- "Dang you guys come back a lot stop it we don't want you here! No just joking of course we want you here. If you weren't here the writers wouldn't pay us. And we need our money but this acting job is real hard."

Chibi Joey- "Is that what you do it for sis the money? I thought I knew you way better than that!"

Chibi Serenity- No Joey I am just kidding! Really I am here cause I love it and this is fun appearing in a story and I love having people say how much they love it! But anyway we are here to review our last chapter and I will do exactly that! Well Kaiba found out I was an assassin and that I killed others for money. I thought for sure he would turn me in! But he didn't he said he loved me and wanted to be my boyfriend! I am so happy go lucky at this point of course and it is hard that my friend is in the hospital because of his drinking and smoking problem but I was so happy go lucky! Because I was with Kaiba! It

was a dream come true! But still somehow something always went wrong and yes it went sour. My friend Aya said he wouldn't let Kaiba have me! What does that mean does Aya have feelings for me in some way! This cant be at least I hope not!

Chibi Joey- You would be better off with Aya than with Seto the idiotic jerk whom I hope dies and goes to Hell Kaiba!

Chibi Serenity- Joey Wheeler!! How dare you say that, that was rude ugly insensitive and over all mean! I don't want to hear you say something like that ever again do you understand me!!!!

Chibi Joey- I am the older sibling here!! I should be the one giving the orders around here!!!!

Chibi Serenity- Mark my words you say that type of thing again and I will personally see you die a slow and painful death!!!

Chibi Joey- Ok, ok!

Chibi Serenity-Thank you!

Chibi Joey-yeah…..yeah……..whatever

Chibi Serenity-Oh and for all you fans out there! There is another job I have and you will find out in this chapter! So I hope you're ready. Lets get to this chapter of Hard Love!!

"What do you mean I can't have her?" Kaiba was confused; it wasn't making any since this guy said he couldn't have her. But he…well…he thought he may love her, so why was her friend saying this. If she was happy then shouldn't he be happy for her?

"BECAUSE SHE CAN'T FALL IN LOVE!!!!" Aya yelled horribly mad she had broken the one rule she had to carry with her. Serenity couldn't fall in love. She must have not told this guy everything about her he may know the assassin part but he didn't know the whole truth.

"Wh…..wh…what? Can't fall in love? That cant be possible…..why…..why cant she?" Kaiba was more confused than he had ever been in his life. Why couldn't Serenity fall in love anyone can right?

A tear slowly slid down Serenity's cheek as she looked at Aya with pleading eyes. She didn't want this to happen she didn't want him to find out. She wanted to hide it. Hide it all away but she didn't think it was possible anymore.

Aya just started to laugh coldly, he knew it she didn't tell him everything and he knew. Now he would expose Serenity and then this Kaiba guy would leave her because he would be obviously disgusted with her. "Cause Serenity…..the woman who claims to love you is a Courtesan……a prostitute." Aya said explaining what Courtesan was just in case this Seto Kaiba didn't know what it meant.

"No……No that cant be true……it isn't is it Serenity?" He looked over to her but all he found was Serenity on the floor to her knees in tears. She had been exposed and in the worst way and all he could do was look at her in sympathy.

"All she does is make men believe she loves them. How do you know you aren't another one of her victims? You're rich, you would be perfect prey." Aya said calmly not scared to say what he was saying. He knew it would hurt Serenity but it was for the best.

Ken and Omi sat in silence and terror at what Aya was saying, yes they knew all he said was true but why would he do this. Serenity was truly happy for once that smile was real. So Ken and Omi did what they knew they needed to do. They ran to their friend and hugged her rocking her back in forth in their arms. Whispering comforting things in her ear. She needed this more than ever right now and they would be there.

"No Serenity…..she wouldn't do that to me…..I know it." Kaiba said trying to hold on to what his heart was telling him but it was awfully hard. Not only was Serenity an assassin but she was also a prostitute. What if everything Aya had said was true, what if he was her prey. But why was he letting himself think this he knew she loved him. But then it became harder and harder, his heart became filled with doubt and he didn't know what to do. The thoughts of Serenity's love held one part and the thoughts of being her prey held another. He had mixed feeling but he had to decide now. Take the risk and stay with her, or leave her forever. He had to choose. "I know what I choose to do." Kaiba stated boldly knowing what he was going to say and do.

"Heh…..you don't know do you? Well what is it?" Aya knew it his plan had worked the doubt had covered his heart and now and he would leave Serenity forever.

"Whether or not you are a prostitute Serenity. My heart and my feelings for you won't change. I care about you and I want to be with you. So I won't leave and I won't cower away. I am staying by your side no matter what." Kaiba said looking at her with a smile he wouldn't leave her not now. She may have done wrong but she can change it, and he believed in her. He believed she could do anything she set her mind too, she was perfect, everything about her was perfect her smile her hair her personality just everything. He loved being with her and that was all he needed. As long as they were together.

"Wh…..what!? No you should be disgusted and say I hate you or something and leave!!!" Aya yelled he couldn't believe his plan had failed, wasn't that something most people would be ashamed of. Especially a man of Seto Kaiba's stature, wouldn't he be ashamed of having a prostitute as a girlfriend? It didn't make sense he should leave her!

But as we know not all plans work out as they seem, this plan had just brought the two lovers closer. Now they knew where their hearts lye, they were together, life was perfect. They knew they needed each other.

"K….Kaiba I cant believe it. You don't care that……oh Kaiba!" She just jumped into him arms loving his embrace she smiled as he span her around it was like a dream. She was the princess and he was her prince. The spinning subsided and she stared into his eyes. They kissed and even though it started innocent it became more passionate. They now knew they were in love.

I know you wonder, how can you love a prostitute. The answer is quite simple it isn't your looks, or your money, or you job, but it is who you are on the inside that counts. And Kaiba saw the good in Serenity's heart. Now even though she did wrong he knew that there was something in her that he needed to find. They were brought together by fate and they would stay together. This was love and that was all they needed. They didn't need money or riches all they needed was each other.

The nurse slowly walked to them and cleared her throat hoping that would gain their attention and it did. They all turned to look at her waiting to see what her news was. "I am afraid that…….your friend didn't make it." The nurse said looking down to the floor.

"No……no…..that can't…..it just can't be." Serenity said tears falling down her face. After all the times he had made it through why did he have to die for this one. It wasn't fair he was to young and he didn't deserve to die!

"Yes…..I will let you go say goodbye." The nurse led Serenity to the room where Youji was, and walked out shutting the door behind her.

Serenity stood there in horror knowing that no matter what she did, no matter what she said he wouldn't come back. He was dead. She slowly walked over to wear he was and kneeled down by his side tears streaming down her face. "Why did you have to be and idiot Youji? Why did you have to die now!? Why could you have waited till you were eighty or ninety or something but why now!?" She rested her head on his chest and cried hysterically.

"Why are you crying Serenity chan." Said a familiar voice.

Serenity looked up to see Youji that same grin on his face. "Youji you're alive!" She yelled with glee and jumped in his arms hugging him tight.

"Yeah, I guess I had one of those near death experience things." Youji said hugging back smiling. He knew he must have worried his friend he could see the tear stains on her face, he knew she had been crying, and it made him even happier to know she had cried because of him. She really did care about him and that made him feel great.

"Well don't have anymore of them they scare me!" She screamed, he had scared her more than he had known and she knew he could see the tear stains on her face. She had been so worried she had lost her friend forever, she couldn't stop thinking what would have happened if he had really died and didn't make it through.

"I'll try to stop smoking and drinking for you but you have to help me." Youji said smiling gently at her, he knew the pain he had caused her and it had to stop seeing her in such pain made his heart break.

"Really!? You mean it!?" Serenity said a bright smile coming to her face. Was he really going to quit!? Was this really it!?

"Yeah I mean it, but you have to help me." He said stating the fact again so that she didn't forget.

"Of course I'll help! Oh thank you Youji!" She said hugging him a small laugh escaping from her mouth as the joy filled her heart

"No problem, now go tell everyone I'm ok!" He screamed in an ordering tone, he didn't want the nurses to take him away thinking he was dead. Now wouldn't that be a good horror movie it would be titled. Youji-Buried Alive 4! (AN-I loved those movies too lol) Now wasn't that a title!

"Ok, ok!" She said as she started to walk out of the room and into the waiting room where everyone else was waiting for their chance to go see Youji.

"Did he look peaceful?" Ken asked sad to see that his friend had passed away.

"He's alive you guys!" She screamed in excitement in joy, trying to tell them not to worry anymore.

It was as if joy broke over every member of the Weiss Kreuz team and the all jumped up and smiled, all except for Aya of course. Aya didn't care about anything anymore he had grown cold from what had happened and nothing could ever be the same between the team again.
