Chapter 6: Fire In The Kaiba Mansion!

"THE KAIBA MANSION IS ON FIRE! HELP!!!!"

Serenity heard screams everywhere. Everywhere she turned, she saw people running down streets, and screaming bloody murder. She also saw people trying to calm down, but the scene was so intense that they couldn't. She turned to Mokuba.

"WE HAVE TO FIND MY BROTHER!!!" The little Kaiba cried as tears started flowing down his cheeks. "HE COULD STILL BE INSIDE!"

'Great just what I needed... I thought things couldn't get any worse! Now Joey will find out for sure! I can see it now... on the news... "Kaiba Mansion falls down to the ground in flames. Miss Serenity Wheeler as wit ness." UGH! I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!' She thought to herself. 'All I wanted was a nice day with Mokuba... but instead I get a snobby CEO who yells at me, Mokuba having a panic attack, and the blasted mansion on fire!'

"SERENITY!!??! HELLO!??!"

"HUH!? Oh my god! I'm sorry Mokuba! I just... spaced out for a little bit!" She looked rather nervous.

"THAT'S NICE BUT WE HAVE TO FIND SETO!!!"

"Oh that's right!" Serenity nodded with a bit of determination on her face. "Mokuba, you stay here. It's way to dangerous for you to be going over there."

"But it's my home! I live there! And I-"

"Mokuba... listen... I'm sorry, but my job was to watch you and take care of you. I can't let you get hurt. If your brother find out I let you go near the fire, he'll fire me for sure. And then I won't have the money for my mother's funeral."

Mokuba understood that, but he really wanted to find his brother. However, what Serenity said made sense. Perfect sense. If his own mother was alive, she would probably have not let him go near the fire either. He also knew if anything were to almost hit it that was crashing to the ground, he would not be able to get away in time because of his bad leg. "Okay, Serenity.... but please be careful."

She nodded. "Don't worry about a thing, Mokuba." With that said, she raced towards the scene. She reached the crowed of people and tried to get through. She seceded in most of it, however when she reached the mansion, a police officer stopped her.

"Miss I'm sorry.. But I can not allow you to go any further."

"But I have to! If I don't find Kaiba-"

"We are doing our best to find Mr. Kaiba."

"And what you can't let one more person help you find him!?"

"I'm sorry. What is your relationship with Mr. Kaiba? Maybe there is an exception."

"Our relationship? What's it to yo-" She stopped and thought for a second. If she were to tell him that they were more then friends, there would be a good chance that he would let her pass.

"Well?" The police officer said becoming impatient.

"I'm his.... girlfriend." Serenity stated as a smirk appeared on her lips. "Yes that's what I am. Seto Kaiba's girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? I don't remember hearing that Seto Kaiba had a girlfriend. That would be big news. How do I know your not lying to me? Hmm?"

Serenity sweat dropped as she thought of some sort o excuse. 'Oh man , oh man , oh man! How do I get out of this one!? Think Serenity. Think.'

"Well... Why would I be hear if I wasn't?"

"We see a great deal of women around here trying to get Seto Kaiba to be their girlfriend. Nice Try."

'OH NO! THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN! Oh man Serenity that was LAME.' She panicked until she heard the voice of someone. A certain cold hearted someone.
"Wheeler."

This made Serenity and the police officer turn around in shock. There he was, in the flesh, with burns all over him, the one and only Seto Kaiba.

"MR.KAIBA! YOU'RE OKAY! Thank the heavens!" He screamed out.

"You can go now. I have some unfinished business with this women."

"Kaiba..." Serenity said in a low voice that was filled with deep concern. He was covered in ashes and his face was burnt to crisp. Then again that did not change the fact that he was hott. Yep he was still the sexy beast that he always was.

"Wheeler. Where's Mokuba!?"

"I told to stay back! He can't go near the fire! It's to dangerous! And you should agree!"

"Hmph. I guess. Look, the fire fighters will put out the fire. Lets go."

"Go where?"

"Somewhere.... somewhere..... I'll figure it out." He began to walk the opposite direction of where the Mansion once stood.

Serenity followed him right away. She knew he didn't know where he was going, but she took advantage of this opportunity of walking side by side with him. As they walked, Serenity couldn't help but feel the urge of asking him questions. Oh yes, question, after question, after question. But she decided some of those questions should wait. So she asked him the important ones first.

"Is your face okay?"

"Hmph." Was all he said.

"Well hey I was just asking. You don't have to be a jerk about it."

"Bitch."

"Hmph! That's no way to talk to a lady!"

"What ever, Wheeler."

"How many times do I have to tell you?! I have A GOD DAMN NAME!"

"Just keep walking a shut up." He replied with his voice tone as cold as ice.

They kept walking, and for a little while it was quiet. But Serenity still wanted to ask him questions.

"Kaiba?" She asked as they kept walking down the sidewalk. Kaiba didn't look at her, however she looked directly up at him. "You need a place to stay don't you?"

"That's non of your business."

"Well if you need a place to stay, the Mokuba does too. And I'm suppose to be watching him, remember? It's my job. Therefore, that makes it MY business. So don't give me that crap!"

"Oh wow, she cursed. That's a first. Oh and that rhymed too." He said with a smirk.

"Haha, very funny Kaiba. Your such a comedian." She replied rolling her eyes. "Listen, I KNOW you need a place to stay. So don't hide it from me."

"Alright fine. But what's it to you? You have a place where me and Mokuba can stay? If not then just shut up right now."

"You really are a cranky man. Come on, can't you loosen up? But about the place... My apartment is way to small for you, me, and Mokuba. However, my brother has a pretty big house. He could probably fit us in there for a few days while the mansion gets re-built. We can stay there until you find another place to."

"Me live in the mutt's house? I don't think so. No way."

"He's not a mutt!"

"Aren't you in a fight?" He looked at her directly for the first time from when they started walking.

Serenity gave him a glare. "Please don't remind me."

"Then why would you stay with him if you hate him?"

"First off, I DO NOT hate him. He's my brother, and I love him. And one silly fight will never stop from loving him. I know he feels the same way about this too. And I know he would let me stay if I had no where else to go. And If we're lucky, I can talk him into letting you and Mokuba stay."

"That was a very nice speech, Wheeler." He said looking bored. "But me and the mutt never got along. And I know he doesn't want his son's near me. And don't even say he wouldn't care! Cause I know he would! And-"

"And it's not like you have to talk to him." She interrupted him "You'll have me! And Mokuba too! Come on. Please?"

"I still don't like it."

"So then I can ask him?"

"Fine. But only because I'm...." He couldn't say it. Seto Kaiba could not say he was desperate. No way. That was out of the question. But Serenity knew he was all along. He wasn't just desperate for a new home. He was desperate for a friend. He needed one. She smiled to herself and kept walking.

-------------------------------------

As soon as they reached the end of the street, a tiny, black-haired boy ran up to them. Er.. well sorta ran. It was more like limped because of his leg.

"SETO!!!!!!!!"

"Mokuba!" Kaiba yelled back and smiled at his younger brother.

Mokuba ran over and hugged him. "Oh Seto. I was so scared you were hurt." Just then, he realized that his older brother's face was burnt.

"SETO! WHAT HAPPENED!?"

"I was in the mansion, Mokuba. I'll tell you some other time Okay!?" He said as he looked at Serenity. It was clear he didn't want Serenity to hear the story.

Mokuba nodded. "Okay but you better tell as soon as we get to... uh? Where are we going?" He asked as he felt kind of stupid.

"Well Kaiba?" Serenity smirked at him.

"Her brother's house."

"Joey!? Really!? COOL!" He said happily until he received a glare from his older brother. "I mean... okay..."

Serenity smiled. 'I knew he would be happy.' She chuckled to herself.

"You do realize we have to walk there, right? My limo was in flames along with the mansion."

Serenity and Mokuba stared at him in shock. "WHAT?!?!"

"BUT SETO!? HOW!? WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE ANYWAY!?" Mokuba looked frightened but was waiting for an answer.

"I don't know, Mokuba."

Serenity sighed. "Well this will take awhile. And it's really late too. It's 10:00 pm. By the time we get there... it's probably going to be like... 11!"

"Well at least we get to go! I can't wait!"

"Why Mokuba?" Serenity giggled.

"I haven't seen Joey in so long! Mai too! And...uhh... Serenity?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I hold Kenji!? Please!?" He asked with the biggest smile on his face.

Serenity laughed as Kaiba rolled his eyes. He never really liked kids. Mokuba on the other hand, loved them.

"I guess so. I'm sure Mai wouldn't care. I dunno about Joey since your Seto's little brother. But I think he likes you. Well... definitely more then he likes Seto... So yeah!"

"AWESOME! I was those pictures of him in your bag. Heh I kinda looked through it."

"MOKUBA!" Serenity cried. "That's my personal-"

"I know I know! But I couldn't resist! Kenji is so cute and I love kids! So what are we waitin for!? Lets go!"

"I've been gone." They heard a distant voice ahead. Mokuba and Serenity saw that Kaiba was already about 10 feet away from them.

"Lets go! It's already dark!"

"Yes master." Serenity rolled her eyes as she ran to catch up with Kaiba.

"Coming big brother!" Mokuba followed Serenity.

They were then on their way to The Wheeler's house.

----------------------11:59 PM At The Wheeler's house-------------------------- (A/N: Yes it took them that long to get there. Lol. Hey they walked!)

The house was quiet, as everyone was asleep. Mostly because Matt was sick so he needed to sleep, and Kenji was still a baby so obviously he need to sleep. Joey and Mai were asleep in their bedroom upstairs. Then a gentel knocking was heard from downstairs on the main floor. Mai heard it but she didn't want to go downstairs and answer the door.

'Who's here at this hour?'

She kicked Joey to get him to wake up. "Hey Joey. Wake up and go get the door." She order as she was still half asleep. Joey didn't move though. He just laid their asleep, not caring what his wife said. Mai then opened her eyes fully as she heard the doorbell ring this time.

"Joey! Get up! Answer it!" She commanded as she shook him to try to wake him up.

Joey turned over in his sleep and mumbled. "Why don't you?"

She looked at him. "Cause I said so."

His eyelids were still shut and not moving. Mai was getting impatient. "Fine! Be a lazy bum!" With that, she got up, put on her purple robe, and went downstairs.

-----------------Outside The House------------------

Serenity rang the doorbell again. "I hope I didn't wake them."

"What do you think? It's 12 midnight now!"

"Calm down, Seto." Mokuba told his brother.

"Hmph."

Mokuba stared at him for awhile until he saw a shadow inside the house. "Hey! Someone's coming!"

'Please let it be Mai....' Serenity prayed and hoped to herself.

Then Mai opened the door, and what she saw, left her in complete shock. She saw a tired looking Serenity, a burnt up Kaiba, and a perky Mokuba. What the hell?

"Mai! Thank goodness you answered!" Serenity ran over and hugged her.
"Serenity? I um- what are you doing here so late? And with...THEM?" She asked referring to the Kaiba brothers.

"Hi Mai!" Mokuba limped over to her.

"Hey kid, I haven't seen you in so long. You sure have grown." She smiled at him.

He returned the smile. "Yeah I guess I have! Umm.. I guess you want to know why we're here...."

"Wait.. don't tell me. The Kaiba Mansion burnt down and you need a place to stay."

"Yeah... how did you know?" Serenity asked her curiously.

"I saw it on the news. And I knew you would be there so I figured you guys would need a place to stay. What a coincidence that Seto Kaiba is here too." She smirked.

Serenity blushed. 'Where is she going with this?!'

Kaiba just gave her a 'hmph'.

Then they heard footsteps approaching from the steps. "Aye' Mai! Who's dere?"

Serenity panicked. 'Oh no! Not now!!! Why does he show up now!? Why couldn't he show up when we were all in our rooms!? Maybe then he wouldn't know I was hanging out at the Kaiba mansion! Well... it was for a good cause... but still! No no no!!! This can't be happening! He's already pissed off at me as it is! Now what's he gunna say to me when he sees Kaiba!?'

"Mai!"

Mai sighed. "Yeah, Joey. It's okay, honey I got the door! You can go back to sleep!"

Serenity could tell Mai was trying to get Joey to go back upstairs so he wouldn't see her with Kaiba. "Thanks Mai." She whispered.

"I don't know if this is gunna work..." Mai replied.

"Yeah, well I wanna see who it is! It's my house too ya know!" Joey then came down the stairs and reached the living room. He then approached the door and just stopped in his tracks. He had a blank star on his face, and it was like there was no life in him.

Mai walked over to him and looked him straight in the eye. "Joey? Are you okay, sweetheart?"

Serenity looked at her brother in concern. "I'm sorry, Joey..."

Joey regained his 'life' back and then began to lose what sanity he had left from when he saw Serenity last. However it was different last time. He saw her WITHOUT company. Now his enemy was right at own doorstep. But how?

"WHAT DA HELL IS HE DOING HERE!?!?"
