Chapter Three: Two to Tango
September came and went with a blur for both Kaiba and Serenity. It was full of meetings and homework for them both as well as time with friends for Serenity. There had been no more incidents between the two of them, but the feeling that some one was watching her never left Serenity and she was more the sure that it was Kaiba.
September had been crazy for Serenity especially with all the extra work she was doing for Graphic Industries. She wasn't even out of high school yet and already she was working as one of their top computer programmers and de-buggers earning a huge paycheck every month. Although Mr. Thomson had insisted that she put most of it into a college fund, which she did without question.
For Kaiba, however, things were not going as smoothly where Graphic Industries was concerned. Mr. Thomson still refused to hand full control over to him so the meetings were going nowhere fast. Then there was the fact that all he ever heard was Serenity this and Serenity that, it was driving him crazy. Why the hell they trusted a Wheeler with their projects was beyond him. If all their projects failed it was their own fault. So basically life kind of sucked for him at the moment.
With September lost in work and fun October had begun and that meant that Domino High's annual Fall Ball was just around the corner. Most of the students called it the Halloween dance because it fell near or on Halloween and it was a costume ball. For Serenity this simply meant that she would have to choose between to fighting boys, Duke or Tristan. This should be entertaining.
At the moment, however, Serenity was trying to convince Yugi to duel her. She had only dueled Joey since she had come back and she had beaten him so many times it wasn't even funny.
"Are you sure Serenity?"
"Come on Yugi I have beaten Joey so many times it is getting old. I wanna new challenge and that would be you." Serenity said while trying not to laugh
"Thanks a lot Seren!" Joey did his best pretend I-am-hurt face, but he just laughed
"Nice try on the sympathy thing Joey."
"Shut up Tristan!"
"Would you two be quiet. Now Yugi come on please." Serenity gave Yugi her best girly smile.
"Alright! How could I say no anyways?"
"I knew it!"
"Don't worry Yugi she gets me every time too." Laughed Joey
"Well let's head over to my Grandpa's shop and duel there, how does that sound?"
"Fine with me."
"Hey guys were heading over to Solomon's Shop to watch Serenity duel Yugi! Are you gonna come?"
"Count me in!" Yelled Mai
"Me too!" Add Tea
Outside the Turtle Game Shop
As the rest of the gang enter the shop Tristan pulled Joey aside. Joey gave Tristan a weird look because Tristan looked a little nervous.
"Okay Tristan what is wrong?"
"WoulditbeokayifIaskSerenitytotheFallBall?" Tristan asked really, really fast.
"Come again and slower this time, please."
Tristan took a deep breath and tried again "Would it be okay if I asked Serenity to the Fall Ball?"
"Oh so that is what you said. Yeah man go ahead. Anyways it is either you, Duke or some other slim ball and personally I would prefer it if you took her. Just remember that the same thing goes for you as it does for anyone else. You hurt my baby sister in anyway and you'll wish you had never been born."
"O-okay" Tristan gulped
Joey patted Tristan on the back "Good to see we understand each other. Now let's go watch Yugi and Seren duel."
Inside the Turtle Game Shop
"So do you wanna duel me or Yami?"
"Is there a difference?"
"Um...no...just the personality."
"Then I really don't care, but how about I just duel you."
"Okay."
"Yugi when did you get here?"
"Oh hi Grandpa. We just got here."
"You guys are getting good, I didn't even hear you come in." Grandpa then spotted Yugi and Serenity's decks sitting on the table, "So what's going on here?"
"Serenity asked if she could duel me."
"You duel Serenity?"
"She sure does Gramps and she's beaten my butt plenty of times." Joey couldn't help but brag
"Well I will just have to see this one for myself."
"Ready Serenity?"
"You bet."
They shuffled each other's decks and gave them back to their owners.
"Lets duel!"
An hour hour later
The duel between Yugi and Serenity was close one. When it was over Yugi only had 200-life points left and a shocked look on his face, as did the rest of the gang.
"Wow! Joey your sister is a very good duelist." Said Grandpa
"Well she learned from the best." Joey said looking smug
"Which wouldn't include you." Replied Tristan
"Hey!"
"So what are we going to do now?" Tea asked quickly
"Hm...I think we should go out for pizza!"
"Joey!" Every one said together
"What? I like pizza."
"Fine but your buying." Said Yugi "You wanna come Grandpa?"
"I would but some one has to run the shop. And anyways you youngsters don't want an old man slowing you down." Grandpa laughed at his last remark
"Well if your sure Grandpa then I guess we will see you later."
The Domino Pizza Parlor
"Okay so that is ten slices of pizza to your...how many have you had Tristan?"
"Two." Replied Tristan simply
"WHAT ONLY TWO!?!?!? Come on man what's wrong with you?"
"Yeah you've been acting really weird Tristan are you sure your feeling all right?" Asked Yugi
"Yeah I fine I just don't have much of an appetite at the moment that's all."
"Well in that case I WIN!!!" Joey did his little 'I'm the winner' happy dance
"Okay...so what should we do next?" Asked Serenity well pulling her brother back into his seat
"I don't know...what do you guys wanna do?" Asked Yugi
"We could go to arcade." Suggested Tea "They just put in a new DDR system and I have been dying to try it out."
"That sounds like fun! I love DDR!" Serenity exclaimed
"Well it sounds like a plan to me, what do you say Mai?" Asked Joey
"Sure why not."
Joey went to pay for the pizza, considering he ate more then half of it, as the rest of the gang went to wait for him outside. Tea was the last one to walk out the door when she noticed that Tristan wasn't with them. He was still sitting at the table staring blankly out the window with the same miserable look on his face that he had had all day.
"Tristan what is wrong?" Tea asked
"What do you mean? Nothing's wrong."
"Nice try but if you haven't noticed every one has left to go to the arcade, which I am guessing you didn't know; not to mention the fact that you have been wearing this miserable look on your face all day. Now tell me what is wrong?"
"It's about Serenity."
"I should have known." Tea laughed a little
"Yeah, yeah laugh all you want. Anyways I have been trying to figure out how to ask her to the Fall Ball."
"Oh is that all, well that it easy."
"Of course it is easy for you your are girl, you're naturally creative."
"Would you like my help then?"
"Would you mind? What about DDR?"
"The new DDR system can wait."
"Cool!"
"We just need to go to Joey and Serenity's house. Let me just make sure it is okay with their Grandparents first." Tea pulls out her cell phone and begins to dial the number then looks back at Tristan "You did make sure this is okay with Joey right? Because I don't want to have to deal with a deranged older brother."
"Don't worry he is cool with it."
"Good." Tea finished dialing "Hello...Hi this is Tea Garner...I was wondering if it would be alright with you if Tristan and I came over...Tristan wants to ask Serenity to the Fall Ball and I am going to help him...Well we were going to come to your house later this evening to watch movies. So I thought that I could help Tristan get something together to surprise Serenity with. That is if it is okay with you...Yes Joey knows Tristan is going to ask her and he is alright with it...Yeah I agree he is to over protective but what can we do...Okay that is great! Could we come over now? We would be there in about 15 minutes...thanks see you when we get there...okay...sure...bye." Tea hung up
"Well?"
"Their Grandma said okay and is will to help us if we need it."
"Cool!"
"Well lets get going."
Tristan and Tea left the pizza parlor and found the gang waiting for them outside.
"What took ya so long?" Asked Joey
"Sorry guys but we're going to have to skip going to the arcade with you. Tristan has something he needs to get done and I offered to help hi."
"What about DDR?" Asked Serenity "I wanted to challenge you to a dance off."
"Well maybe next time. Anyways we'll meet you guys back at Joey and Seren's place at about seven for our movie night. Okay?"
"Yeah sure. Whatever." Says Joey
"Okay catch you later." Said Yugi
"You owe me a dance off." Stated Serenity
"Your on Serenity. See you guys later!"
"Bye!"
That evening in front to Joey's place
"I can't believe we just spent almost four hours at the arcade!" exclaims Yugi
"Yeah, but it was sure a lot of fun!"
"Easy for you to say Joey, you didn't have you butt kicked like 100 times by your sister at DDR."
"Mai you did a great job!"
"Yeah sure."
"Come on you had never played before. You can't expect to be good at everything right away."
"Yeah, yeah anyways what movies are we watching tonight."
"I don't know we kind of have to get in the house first. Hey Joey! What's taking so long!?! Did you forget the code again!?!"
"Um...yeah I did." Joey shyly
"Joey! It really isn't that hard!" Serenity walked over the keypad "Here let me do it" She begin to punch in the pin number saying them out loud at the same time so Joey would hopefully remember "18-27-69, got it now?"
"I guess."
"Then I guess I am going to have to tattoo it onto your arm." Serenity laughed
"Hey I've always wanted a tattoo."
The gate to the driveway opened and the gang walked up to the front door. Once inside they stopped briefly to talk to Grandpa Hiroshi then they headed downstairs.
Serenity and Mai stopped by the snack room to make popcorn, grab some bags of candy and a couple cans of soda. Joey and Yugi were just about to enter the theater room when Tea walked through the door.
"Tea! What are you doing here?" asked Yugi
"Yeah I thought you weren't going to be here until seven." Said Joey
"Well one it is seven and two I was helping Tristan get a surprise ready for Serenity."
"Oh so that is why you didn't tell us what you were up to." Said Yugi
"Yeah Joey might have accidentally said something if I did. Anyways everything is set up in there so all we need to do is have Serenity go in first."
"Okay." Said Joey "So what exactly is he..."
"Hey Tea! When did you get here?" Called Serenity as she came down the hall
"Oh just a little after you guys."
"Cool. So are you guys ready to start the movies?"
"What are we watching first?"
"We picked The Last Samurai." Said Mai joining the group "I heard that it is really good."
"Sounds great!" Said Joey "After you Sis." Thankfully Serenity had been standing next to Joey who was by the door, so getting her to go in first wasn't a problem. Serenity walked into the movie room, but it was pitch black, "Why is it so dark in here? Where is that light switch?"
Serenity ran her hand along the wall trying to find the light switch and finally she found it. Flipping the switch the lights came on and plastic bats fell down in front of her causing her to let out a scream, which quickly turned into a laugh.
"Okay what is going on here?" Serenity asked while still laughing
"Please come in, come in." Said a mysterious voice
"Who are you and where are you?" Serenity asked as she walked further into the room
Looking around she saw that their theater had been turned into a room right out of a hunted mansion. There were glowing candles, fake ones, with cobwebs hanging on the walls. There was black and deep red material draped across the room and on the far side of the room stood three self-standing doors.
"Welcome mortals, welcome." It was the voice again
"Okay who are..."
Serenity stopped because it turned out that the mysterious voice was coming from the sound system and that the person was a vampire on the movie screen.
"Oh"
"Hello Miss Wheeler" the vampire with a bow "I am Count Dracula..."
"I can see that."
"And I am pleased to welcome you to the 'Halloween Dating Show'"
"Excuse me?"
Serenity could hear Joey laughing under his breath
"As you are aware the Fall Ball or Halloween Dance is in two weeks..."
"Yeah, so?"
"Well one of our guest here today wants to ask you to the Dance."
"Okay so what do I do?"
"Simple, you open each of the three doors until you find the one who wants to ask you." "Sounds easy enough."
Serenity walked over to the freestanding doors and examined them. Which one should she open first and not to mention what was behind the other two doors. Serenity turned around looking at her friends and brother for suggestions, but they all simply smiled at her and motioned for her to continue.
Serenity put her hands on her hips and looked at each door carefully then finally decided to open the third door first. She placed her hand on the knob and with a deep breath opened the door.
Serenity jumped back with a little yelp, for a clown hand been waiting for her and had sprayed her with water from its fake flower.
"Wrong door." Stated Count Dracula
"I can see that."
Serenity walked over to the first door and opened it. Inside there was nothing but a sign saying 'Sorry better luck next time. 'This better not be some big joke because if it is some one is going to get it' Serenity thought as she prepared to open the second door.
"One last try let's hope it's right."
"Shut up!"
Serenity opened the second door and sighed, there was nothing but a dressed up manikin with this back to her. That was it she had had enough and now it was time for some answers.
Serenity was just about to close the door when the manikin started to move. Slowly the thought to be manikin turned around to face her and Serenity smiled a little when she saw who it was. His head was hung slightly and he was blushing a little. In his hands he held a bouquet of brilliant pink roses.
'Tristan?" Serenity was trying not to laugh at the shy look on his face; it made him look a little silly.
"Serenity...um...will you..." Tristan trailed off
"Will I what Tristan?"
Tristan took a deep breath, "Will you go to the Fall Ball with me?"
"Yes."
"Really!?!"
"Yeah really."
"Congratulations you have won!" Sad Dracula
"Cool!" Every one laughed at this comment.
"Thanks for the roses."
"Your welcome." Tristan smiled at Serenity
"Okay! Well if every one will help clear the room we can watch the movies."
"Thanks for the help Tea."
"Anytime Tristan."
They got the room cleared and the props put back into their boxes. With the popcorn made and candy passed out everyone took a seat a got ready for a night of movies.
"Hey Tea!"
"Yeah Seren?"
"Where did you get all the stuff from earlier?"
"Oh I have friends in the costume and prop business from dance and they let me borrow them. As for the Dracula thing that was a computer program of your Grandpa's. He was actually running it during the whole thing."
"Grandpa saw the whole thing!"
"Hey shut up so we can watch the movie!" Yelled Mai
"Sorry" said Tea and Serenity
Monday Morning
Kaiba walked into his first class of the day and was surprised to find that nobody was in there. Normally Serenity could be found sitting in her front row window seat typing away on her laptop. Instead sitting on her desk was at least two-dozen or so red roses and a card. Kaiba laughed to himself, 'some one must be asking the mutt's sister to the Fall Ball how cute.'
"I wonder who it could be." Kaiba set his things down and walked over to Serenity's desk
Picking up the card he began to read it, "Well, well it is not the mutt's sidekick as I expected. This is very interesting indeed. I wonder if Devlin beat him to the punch or not?"
"Put that down!" Came an irate voice
Kaiba turned around to see none other then Duke Devlin standing fuming in the doorway
"Those are not yours!"
"What? Worried I was going to ruin them?" Kaiba smirked, "You do realize that you are probably a little late."
"What are you talking about?"
"Unless I miss my guess it is more then likely that the mutt's sidekick beat you to the punch."
"I highly doubt it. Anyways why would you care?"
"Oh believe me I don't. I just find it rather amusing that you two are fighting over a Wheeler. Especially some one of such high standings like yourself. It is rather degrading, she is after all only a Wheeler nothing worth while."
"How dare you..." But Duke never got to finish what he was saying for at that moment Serenity walked into the classroom.
Serenity looked from Duke to Kaiba then back to Duke and sighed
"Insulting people again are we Kaiba?"
"It is really none of you business."
"No, its not. I am just amazed that some who runs his own business can be such a child." Serenity shrugged her shoulders and walked to her desk her eyes widening when she saw the flowers.
Serenity set her bag gently down on the floor then picked up the card that Kaiba had left opened on the desk. Slowly and with held breath she opened the card, it was the dumbest thing she had ever read. Thankful she had her back turned Serenity rolled her eyes laughed to herself then turned around.
"Um...Duke I am...well" She was trying to sound as if she felt bad, "Well...I am sorry I can't go with you...well...um...because...you see..."
"She can't go with you because I asked her." Duke turned to face Tristan
"Figures." Kaiba folded his arms leaning back against the wall with an amused look on his face.
"You stay out of this!" snapped Serenity
Duke looked stunned by the whole ordeal, "But why would she...I mean I am the..."
"I guess we now know who the better man is, don't we Devlin?" Tristan smiled and placed his arm around Serenity's shoulder
Serenity pushed Tristan's arm off her and rounded on him
"How dare you! You have no right to say that to him! You happened to be the one that asked me first it could have gone the other way around! And furthermore you do not put your arm around me like I am some kind of consolation prize!" Serenity stopped for a moment to catch her breath her eyes blazing with anger, "Tristan go to class."
"But Serenity I..."
"Just go." Tristan left "Thanks again for the flowers Duke."
"Fools." Came an amused voice
Serenity glared at Kaiba he simply gave her one of his infamous smirks and sat down. Serenity turned back around closed her eyes took a very deep breath, sat down and pulled out her laptop.
Ten minutes later class started and Serenity tried very hard to concentrate on the lesson, but the whole time she felt some one watching her. Any chance she got she would turn around to see who it was, but no one was looking. Still that sneaking suspicion that is was Kaiba still lingered in the back of her mind.
Lunch
"Serenity come on tell us what is wrong. You've been in a bad mood all morning. Even your dancing was off." Tea said to Serenity as she got in the cafeteria line
"Yeah what is up Seren?" asked Mai
"It just Duke and Tristan. I mean it has been three years and they are still fighting over me."
"Boys will be boys." Stated Mai
"Yeah I know, but still..."
"I bet Joey will let those to have it if he finds out." Said Tea
"More then likely." Serenity laughed "Hey Mai has Joey asked you to the Fall Ball yet."
"No."
"I'll tell him to get a move on it then, before some other guy asks you."
The three girls grab their lunches and walk over to their usual table where the guys are. Tristan was waiting nervously for Serenity to come over. He still felt bad about what happened that morning.
"Serenity could I talk to you for a minute?" Tristan asked as Serenity set her tray down at the table
"Sure."
Tristan led Serenity out into the hall where they wouldn't be over heard by the rest of the gang.
"Listen Serenity I am sorry about this morning. You were right I should never have said that to Duke and I was acting as if you were a prize, which your not. You are my friend and that is how you deserve to be treated." Tristan sighed, "And I'll understand if you don't want to go to the dance with me anymore."
"I accept you apology Tristan and of course I still want to go to the dance with you."
"Really!?! Great!"
"But one more outburst like this morning and I won't. Understand?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now lets go eat I am starving."
The rest of the day went by without any more problems and Serenity was grateful, the morning's events had been enough. The same, however, could not be said for Kaiba who had yet another meeting with Mr. Thomason about the merger.
"So I assume you have had time, Mr. Kaiba, to one again look over my proposal for the merger."
"Yes I have and for the moment it seems to be fairly good proposal. I see you have given into a 70/30 split, which for now is acceptable. However it will be negotiated once again later." Kaiba had a plan on how to get what he wanted, but for the moment he would have to pretend he was giving in.
"Mr. Kaiba I am afraid you are mistaken. That is my final offer. But moving on with business I believe you had another proposition?"
"Yes. Before I make any further decisions I would like to see how well you employees would work with mine. So I would like a list of all the employees you brought with you to Domino. Included in the list I would like their positions, credentials and how long they have worked for you. From there I will pick ten of them to work for me for a set amount of time."
"That sounds reasonable. When would you like this list."
"Within two weeks."
"Very well Mr. Kaiba I will..."
Ring...ring...ring...
"Excuse me for a moment" Answers his phone "Hello this is Mr. Thomson...Why hello Serenity how are you today...That's good to hear...Oh I am doing just fine thank you...no, no your not interrupting anything...it's fixed? Oh thank god I thought it would never be fixed...Serenity you are a miracle worker...Okay I will check my e-mail when I get back to the hotel...all right, can you take on another project...are you sure...okay then I will send it to you as soon as I can...thanks again Serenity...alright goodbye." Hangs up cell phone
"Everything alright?" Asked Kaiba in a cold voice
"Yes everything is just fine Mr. Kaiba, thank you for your concern."
"Now is there anything else we need to discuss?"
"No there isn't Mr. Kaiba."
"Then I will see you at our next meeting. Have a good day Mr. Thomson." Kaiba leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. It seemed not matter where he was some one always mentioned something about Serenity Wheeler. It was beginning to annoy him. And how on earth does a Wheeler know how to fix a computer program?
'These people must be out of their minds'
Kaiba got up out of his chair and went back into his office to finish his work.
Two weeks later the night before the dance
It was the night before the dance and Kaiba was in his office trying to get some work done, but was being constantly interrupted by his little brother Mokuba. For the past week Mokuba had been bugging him saying that he should go to the Fall Ball. Every time Kaiba told him no, but Mokuba kept on it.
"You should go tomorrow night Big Bro."
"Mokuba these things are pointless. Not to mention I have a lot of work to do."
Well if bugging him didn't work Mokuba would just have to play of his brothers pride.
"Yeah right I know you just making up excuses because you were too afraid to ask any girls to the dance. And now you're embarrassed to show up alone."
"EXCUSS ME!?! ME! Afraid to ask a girl to a dance or embarrassed to show up on my own to one. I don't think so!"
"Fine then prove it to me. I dare you to go to the school dance by yourself and stay there the whole time. And if you don't then you will prove to me that you are afraid."
"..." Mokuba had him caught, "Fine I will go."
"Cool. So what is your costume going to be?"
"I'm not going to wear a costume."
"Fine have it your way." Mokuba had a little smirk on his face "I'll just let you get back to work now."
"Thanks."
"Later Seto!" Mokuba called as he walked out the door
"Great just great."
Domino Country Club: Fall Ball
Chaperons watched as cars and limos pulled up to the entrance of the Domino Country Club and were amazed at the verity of costumes they saw. There were Disney characters, super heroes, super stars, a variety of famous people, animals, aliens, and costumes that were simply out of this world.
A white limo came to a stop in front of the entrance, the first person to step out of the limo was Yami dressed as an Egyptian Pharaoh he was followed by Tea who was dressed as an Egyptian Queen. Joey and Mai who were dressed as a Pirate and Pirate Princess followed Yami and Tea out of the limo. The last two people to get out of the limo were Tristan and Serenity dressed as Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
As the gang entered the Club there was a revving noise coming up the drive like that of a motorcycles. The gang turned around and coming up the drive was none other then Duke Devlin dressed as Danny from Grease and he was the one revving his motorcycle.
"Nice look Dice-boy." Said Joey as Duke got off his bike
"I see we are playing with swords now." Duke laughs then turns to go inside and spots Serenity sanding by the door "My Lady," Duke bows and takes Serenity's hand, "you look radiant tonight." He then proceeded to kiss her hand
"Thank you Duke." Serenity said with a forced smile "Shall we go inside?" Serenity linked arms with Tristan and walked inside wiping her hand on her dress.
The beginning of the evening was fairly boring, but the food for the banquet was good. The first course was creaser salad and bread sticks followed by the main course of smoked salmon, garlic-mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. The students were very impressed by the food and enjoyed it immensely.
Half way through the main course, while every one was seated, the doors from the entry way opened and in walked the CEO of Kaiba Corporations himself, Seto Kaiba. Whispers ran like a wildfire through the room as a waiter showed Kaiba to his seat. No one could remember in all of Kaiba's time being at Domino High had he ever come to a school function.
Kaiba was shown to a table across the room from the gang who were happy that he had not been seated at their table. The male occupants of the table seemed less the thrilled that Kaiba had joined their table considering their dates were trying their best to flirt with him. Kaiba, however, showed no interest in them he just concentrated on his food.
The meal concluded with an assortment of choices for dessert, there was strawberry cheesecake, double chocolate cake, banana cream pie, and carrot cake among other choices. As the students enjoyed their desserts the class council members bored them with skits, some that were occasionally funny and a few table competitions.
As the last groups of people got their pictures taken the tables were cleared and moved to the sides of the room to make way for the dance floor while the DJ set up. The dance got off to a pretty good start with mostly fast dances then one slow dance for the couples then another set of fast songs. But when it came to the next sets of slow songs it was a fight for who would ask Serenity first.
After the third fight Serenity sighed, realizing it was hopeless she slipped out the side door of the Club to get some fresh air. Out the side door was a garden with a path Serenity decided to follow the path to see where it lead. The path was not a long one it simply made a few turns then stopped at a gazebo over looking the city of Domino its lights blinking in the distance.
Kaiba who had taken the opportunity to find a dark corner during all the commotion of clearing the room was watching people mingle with each other enjoying not being seen, mainly by the girls. He found it disgusting how the girls just threw themselves at him because he was rich and famous, they all wanted a part of it.
Kaiba had kept a close eye on Yugi and the gang laughing to himself as he watched Duke and Tristan fight each other for Serenity, it was pitiful. So when Serenity took the opportunity to slip out the side door Kaiba was not at all surprised and preceded followed her.
Serenity walked into the gazebo removed the crown from her head, ran her figures through her hair and replaced the crown. Sighing Serenity walked to the other end of the gazebo and resting both hands of the railing looked out at the twinkling city never notice Kaiba walking up the path.
"Well, well if it isn't Princess Serenity."
"Go away Kaiba. I am not in the mood for your antics." Serenity didn't even bother to turn around
"I have no idea what your talking about Wheeler."
"Just go away."
"No not till I settle a little score with you."
Serenity turned "Get over it already would you."
"I bet you think you're so clever."
"Actually yes I do" Serenity took a few steps forward
"Oh you do."
"Oh look the great Kaiba is running out of sarcastic remarks."
"You know that mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble."
"I think I'll take my chances."
Kaiba took a step forward forcing Serenity to set back
"And I thought that princesses were suppose to be good, timid little girls." Kaiba kept walking forward
"Well not this one." Serenity bumped into one of the gazebo's posts, she was out of room.
Kaiba came even closer to her placing one and on the post just above her head.
"You fascinate me Wheeler."
"Is that so." 'What the hell does he think he's playing at?'
"No one has ever had the nerve to talk back to me except you and that's what fascinates me."
"Oh really?" 'I get it now. He thinks if he throws on the charm I'll just swoon like all the other girls. Well he's got another thing coming.'
Kaiba leaned forward and tried to place his other hand on Serenity's cheek. Kaiba laughed to himself he as he got closers, he had her now or so he thought.
Serenity grabbed Kaiba's hand before it could touch her cheek and bent his figures back. Kaiba winched in pain giving Serenity enough time to slap him smartly across the face leaving a bright red mark on his cheek.
"You know the sad part is you actually thought you had me."
Serenity released Kaiba's hand, flipped her hair and walked away. Serenity felt Kaiba watching her and paused for a moment, but without so much as a backward glance she walked back to the Club.
Kaiba watched Serenity walk away following her with his famous death glare.
"You're going to pay for that Wheeler. No one treats Seto Kaiba that way and gets away with it. I am going to make your life a living hell."
