Chapter Seven: A Kiss of Denial

For the last three and a half weeks Serenity had been trying like crazy to avoid reports, photographers and people cornering her on the street asking her questions. You see for the last three and a half weeks Serenity's face has been all over magazines, All Accesses show, for stars and famous people, and in the newspaper. The picture of her and Kaiba entering the Governor's Ball together was everywhere and she was the new hot story.

Being back in school didn't help much either. Photographers would wait in front of Domino High waiting for her or Kaiba to arrive. Maybe if they were lucky the so-called "hot new couple" would show up together, yeah right.

Then of course there were the girls that asked her none stop questions and those who just gave her death glares. The girls gave Kaiba sad mournful looks when they saw him; some even went so far as to say he should dump Serenity and date them. Kaiba ignored the girls and the boys didn't dare say a word.

Joey wasn't being any help either. He would rant and rave about all the rumors in the papers and on TV. Worst of all out of now where he would begin talking, almost screaming, at the top of his lungs about the reports and Kaiba. How they were all low life's, who did know what was good for them.

To top it all off Serenity's performance in school and her grades were slowly beginning to fall. Sure she was still getting A's, but her projects, tests, paper and homework were not up to her normal standards. Almost three months of school and staying late at Kaiba Corp were finally taking their toll on her. But Serenity wasn't about to say anything that would risk letting Kaiba get some satisfaction knowing he was, in a sense, wearing her down.

(Wednesday Afternoon: Lunch Room)

"Hey guys!"

"Hey Mika! What took you so long?" Asked Mai

"Oh I had to talk to Suzumi Sensei about something. No big deal though."

"Anyways as I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted." Tea with a teasing sarcastic tone and glare at Mika

"Hey!" But Mika couldn't keep a straight face

"Get on with it would you Tea." Said Mai

"Fine what should we do for our girls night out this Saturday?" Tea's question was met with silence, "Any idea's?"

"I have one!" Mika said excitedly

"What would that be?" Asked Serenity

"Did you guys hear about the Dance Off this Saturday at Club Platinum this Saturday?"

"No." All three girls said in unison

"Well this Saturday Club Cosmos is hold its first even Dance Off with a grand prize $1,000!"

"You have to be kidding!" Exclaimed Mai

"Nope

"Sounds like fun!" added Serenity

"Should we enter?" asked Tea

"I think it would be fun." Said Mai

"I agree with Mai. What about you Tea?" Asked Serenity

"I say lets go for it!"

"Great! I will sign us up on the way home." Said Mika "We should probably meet up at my apartment Saturday night and then head over to the club because parking will be hell."

"What time?" Asked Tea

"Well the competition starts at eight so let's meet between 6:30-6:45. That way we have time to warm up on the dance floor."

"Sounds good." Replied Serenity

"Hey if you girls are going out dancing what are us guys suppose to do?" interrupted Joey

"You could come with us." Stated Tea

"No way!" exclaimed Joey

"Well then figure something out." Said Mika

Ring...ring...ring

"Catch you guys later!" Yelled Yugi as he, Joey and Tristan headed for class

Tea and Mai went of to their classes well both Duke and Serenity went to their Business class. Duke made sure to walk a little ways ahead of Serenity because she was still mad at him. Now Duke wished that he had never tried to kiss her then maybe he would still have a chance.

Serenity walked into the classroom and went straight to her seat avoiding the girls motioning for her to sit with them. They just wanted to ask her even more annoying questions about the Ball.

As Serenity took her books out of her bag she felt someone watching her. Think it was Duke she looked up with a death stare, but is wasn't Duke. Serenity turned to see Kaiba looking straight at her and they just stared at each other. As they stared at each other Serenity felt her breath catch and her heart skip a beat.

'What is wrong with me?' Serenity thought as she quickly broke the connection and sat down

Serenity placed her hand on her face it was warm. She was blushing! Over Kaiba!?! This could not be happing there was no way she liked him. Serenity wouldn't like him even if he were the last man on earth!

Serenity could not have been happier when the day was over. Kaiba had been watching her all day and it was driving her nuts. Then she remembered that she had to go to where Kaiba was. This day was just getting better and better.

(Friday morning: Serenity's room)

Serenity woke up to see the new e-mail light flashing on her laptop that was sitting on her nightstand. Propping herself up with her pillows Serenity placed her laptop on her lap and clicked the e-mail logo. Serenity figured it was from Mr. Thomson, but it turned out to be an e-mail from her American friend Casey Davenport.

Serenity had met Casey at the school she had attended in New York. It was a very exclusive school where only the richest and brightest of America attended. Casey had been Serenity's first friend introducing her to the extreme sport of motocross in which Casey excelled.

It turned out that Casey was coming to Domino to study at Domino High as part of an overseas study program. The only problem was that there were no host families' available and if she didn't find one she wouldn't be able to come. So Casey was wondering if she could stay with Serenity and her family. If so she would be arriving next Friday.

Serenity was so excited that she almost dropped her laptop as she jumped out of bed to go ask her Grandparents for permission. Serenity ran into the dinning room where her Grandparents were eating giving them quit the fright.

"Good morning Serenity." Said Grandma Taka with a little laugh

"Morning Grandma. Morning Grandpa."

"Morning sweetheart."

"I was wondering if I could ask you guys a question?"

"Sure Serenity." Replied Grandma Taka

"I just got an e-mail from my American friend Casey Davenport and..."

"Isn't that the President's daughter?" Asked Grandpa Hiroshi

"Yeah. Anyways she was wondering if she could stay with us for awhile as part of a overseas study program?"

"Of course we would love to have her stay with us."

"Thank you! I will go e-mail her right now!"

"Um Serenity?"

"Yes Grandpa."

"When will she be arriving?"

"Next Friday evening."

"Okay."

Serenity ran back upstairs and e-mailed Casey back telling her they would be at the Domino Airport next Friday evening to pick her up. She just needed to tell them the exact time of her arrival.

Serenity couldn't wait to see Casey again.

(Saturday night: Club Platinum)

"Here we are girl!"

"Mai you drive like a mad women!!!" Yelled Tea getting out of the car

"That was fun! Lets do it again!"

"Mika!" Serenity said with a laugh

"What?"

"Your crazy."

"Hey come on slow pocks!" Mai called to them

Once inside the Club they checked in with the announcer as they had been instructed to upon signing up. They informed the DJ of their song choice and then proceeded to the dance floor.

The dance floor was crowded thankfully there was still enough room for the four girls to dance, well somewhat at least. Well practicing on of her dance moves Serenity bumped into some guy knocking him to the ground. When she went to help him up she was surprised to find that it was Jake.

"Serenity!"

"Hey Jake! What are you doing here?"

"Guys night out, you?"

"Girls night out and the dance competition."

"Wow your dancing in the competition!?!"

"Yeah myself and a few friends. Come with me I want you to meet them."

Serenity pulled Jake through the crowd to where Mai, Tea and Mika were.

"Hey girls I want you to meet some one!"

"Hey Serenity who's the cutie?" Asked Mai

"Girls this is Jake I work with him. Jake these are the girls Mai Valentine, Tea Garner and Mika Miyagawa."

"Nice to meet you girls."

"Same here." Said Tea

"Ditto." Said Mika

"Your cute."

"Mai you have a boyfriend! Who happens to be my brother!"

"Oops I forgot."

"Sure."

Jake had turned a little red "You should come upstairs Serenity everyone else is up there."

"Sure can my friends come too."

"Why not. Follow me."

Jake led the girls upstairs where the club had privet sitting rooms for large parties. The rooms had tinted windows that over looked the dance floor as well a state-of-the-art sound systems, which could be adjusted to whatever volume level the party preferred.

Jake showed them into the room at the very end of the hall. Upon entering the room Serenity was surprised to find that Kaiba was among the group of guys sitting at the table. She was pleased to see that he looked less then trilled to be here.

"Mr. Thomson look who I bumped into."

"Serenity!"

Kaiba looked around once Mr. Thomson had said her name.

"Hey Mr. Thomson! How are you?"

"Good, good. Yourself."

"Great!"

"And who are these other young ladies?"

"Oh these are my friends Tea Garner, Mai Valentine and Mika Miyagawa."

"Pleasure ladies."

"Nice to meet you." Replied Mika

"Pleasure." Answered Tea

"Nice to meet you too." Said Mai

"So what are you girls up to?"

"Dance competition. You?"

"Just leaving." Came Kaiba's cold voice

"Now, now Mr. Kaiba we can't leave until we see the girls win."

Kaiba seemed to be rethinking his decision "You make a good point Mr. Thomson." He settled back into his seat "This should be interesting." He met Serenity eyes "Very interesting."

Serenity felt her face turn red once again and hoped that no one had noticed. However, Tea who was the closest to her noticed Serenity face turn slightly red. Thankfully, thinking it was the light Tea ignored it.

"The dance competition will begin in five minutes! Will all contestants please come to the stage!" Shouted the DJ over the sound system

"Well lets get going!" said Mai

"Good luck girls! We'll be watching." Mr. Thomson shouted after the girls

Once they reached the stage the checked in with the announcer. The announcer looked down at his list and informed them that they would be going third. He also instructed them to wait on the right side of the stage.

The first group to perform was a group of three guys performing Usher's 'Yeah'. They would good but their moves were slightly off and the judges seemed to have noticed. The second group to perform was five girls performing Destiny's Child's 'Survivor' and they were good. Their movies were almost flawless and they had the perfect attitude.

"Their good." Said Mai

"Do you think we can beat them Seren?" Asked Tea

"It's gonna be tough to do, but it is possible. Still..."

"Oh come on we can so kick their butts!" Interrupted Mika

"Will group three please come on stage!"

"Here goes nothing." Said Tea

"Welcome girls!" Said the announcer as they walked on stage "Will you please introduce yourselves and tell us what song you will be performing tonight."

"I'm Tea Garner."

"Serenity Wheeler."

"Mika Miyagawa."

"Mai Valentine."

"And we will be perform Britney Spears and Madonna's 'Me Against the Music'." Add Tea

"Alright!"

The girls took their places on stage and the DJ started the music. Serenity felt a rush of adrenalin as she started to dance and knew that she was dancing her best ever. It looked like the other girls were as well.

Kaiba's eyes never left Serenity as she danced just as he had been before Kaiba was captivated by her beauty and flawless dance moves. Mr. Thomson who was sitting across from Kaiba saw the change in his expression as he watched Serenity. He knew that look Kaiba had fallen for Serenity Mr. Thomson had seen this happen several times before. Two people hate one another but once they spend a lot of time together they slowly began to like one another. The question was would Kaiba be able to get past his stupid pride and admit it?

A wild applause met the girl's ears as the song ended. That had been their best performance ever, they knew it and so did the crowd. Now all they had to do was wait until after the last performance.

The final performance was a group of five girls dancing to "Dancing Queen" and they were bad, enough said. After their performance the judges took a few minutes to consider all the contestants then handed the announcer the envelope.

"Okay I have the judges final decision. They tell me that it was a very close call. And the winners are group three! MIKA! MAI! SERENITY! AND TEA!"

"OH MY GOD!!! WE WON!!!" Mika was jumping up and down

Tea eyes were wide with shock, Mai had her hands over her mouth and Serenity was jumping up and down with Mika.

"Come on up girls!"

All the guys upstairs were cheering and giving each other high fives, well everyone but Kaiba. Jake was telling everyone how he new all along that they would win and Mr. Thomson looked like his daughter had just won. Then again he thought of Serenity as a daughter.

(Later that night: Serenity's room)

Serenity didn't get home till well past midnight, her and the girls had stayed out all night dancing and celebrating. It had been on of the best girls night out that she had had in a long time.

But now with her friends all at home and only her thoughts to keep her company her mind drifted back, as it had been doing a lot when she was by herself, to the Ball and the dance her and Kaiba had shared. How the minute those ice-cold blues eyes had softened for only a moment she had gotten lost in them.

That was not what scared her though; it was the fact that those eyes belonged to her brother's enemy, her enemy. They belonged to the cold-hearted CEO Seto Kaiba.

'This can't be happening to me' Serenity thought falling onto her bed 'I am not falling for that arrogant jerk! How could I? He has no respect for my family, my friends or me! There is no way I would fall for such a person!'

Serenity only half believed that cause a little voice in the back of her mind kept asking

/Then why do you keep blushing when you see him? And why is he always on your mind? And why do you get lost in eyes?/

'I don't!' Serenity told herself firmly 'That was a mistake and it will never and I repeat NEVER happen again'

/Face it girl you have fallen for the enemy/

'No I haven't! And I never will!'

With that Serenity turned off the lamp on her nightstand and went to sleep only to end up dreaming about that faithful dance.

(The Kaiba Mansion: Midnight)

Kaiba sat at his desk in his room extremely pissed off at the fact that he had been kept out all night, which took him away from his work. Even more infuriating was that now that he could work all he could do was sit and stare at the computer screen.

He tried to think of the files he had to get done, but those thoughts seemed to be pushed to the back of his mind by images of Serenity. Images of Serenity dancing; laughing at one of Mokuba's jokes or Jake's stupid pick-up lines; Serenity yelling at him, her face flushed and eyes full of fire. Then there was simply Serenity.

'What is wrong with me!' Kaiba though angrily as he push papers off his desk, 'Why can't I get her out of my head!'

Kaiba began to pace the floor of his bedroom and racking his brain. What the hell was she doing to him? Never before in his life had a girl gotten to him like this, actually at all. What made Serenity Wheeler so different?

/You love that fiery spirit that you pretend to hate./ said a little voice in his head

'No I am not falling for Wheeler'

/would you stop with your stupid pride and admit you like her/

'I am not falling for Ser I mean Wheeler' Kaiba shook his head 'I must be tired. This will all go away in the morning.'

With that Kaiba change his clothes and went to bed, but his last thoughts were of Serenity.

(Wednesday afternoon: Domino High)

Serenity was at her locker putting her books away before heading out to meet Mai, Tea and Mika for lunch. She was in a surprisingly good mood. For one people were mostly leaving her alone now, but mostly it was because since the Ball Kaiba had been very distance with her. He barely talked to her except when he needed her to do something at work.

This was all fine with Serenity but it gave her the sneaking suspicions that something was wrong. Kaiba never missed an opportunity to insult her or Joey, mainly Joey.

'Maybe he decide to try a new personality for a while. Who knows, but if he thinks it is my fault for what happened after to Ball with all the rumors. It is not like I asked to go so therefore he can't...'

"Hello Serenity."

"Hello Duke." Serenity a little too politely as she closed her locker

"Serenity I was wondering if we could talk?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Serenity..."

"Duke move." Duke had placed himself in front of Serenity

"Not until we talk."

"I have plans and I don't care to talk to you."

"Well I do!"

"Get out of here Devlin."

Duke turned to see Kaiba standing next to them, "What do you want Kaiba?"

"Get out of here." Kaiba repeated coldly

"I don't take orders from you."

"Oh really?"

Kaiba's eyes narrowed dangerously. Duke chose to ignore this and turned back to Serenity, but that proved to be a big mistake.

Kaiba grabbed a hold of Duke's collar, lifting him up of the ground and slamming him into the lockers. Duke's eyes widened and his face went white.

"Like I said before leave." Kaiba's voice was so cold that even Serenity was scared.

Kaiba threw Duke to the side; Duke stumbled back almost falling over as he tried to keep his balance and run at the same time.

"What was that for." Serenity asked timidly

Kaiba said nothing he just looked at her then started to walk away.

Serenity found her voice again, "Don't you walk away from me! Answer my question!"

"I don't have to explain myself to you Wheeler."

"Okay then I'll guess. Hmmm...Oh I get it! It is that whole 'I'm the all-powerful Seto Kaiba. I can do whatever the hell I please.' Including pushing others around." Serenity words were both annoyed and sarcastic

"I'd be quiet if I were you."

"Or what? I'll regret it?" Serenity gave a small laugh "Your nothing but a bunch of empty threats Kaiba."

That was it. That was the last straw. In a split Kaiba was in Serenity's face his eyes narrowed with a stare that could make anyone faint, but Serenity held her ground.

"I am warning you Wheeler." Hissed Kaiba

"Or what? You're gonna put me in my place? You've been saying that for weeks."

"I said be quiet."

"Make me."

Mai and Tea had been walking down the hall looking for Serenity when they saw Kaiba and her having one of their fights. Tea and Mai just smiled waiting to see what Serenity would do to Kaiba this time. But the minute they say Kaiba get in her face they ran down the hall to give her back up. The last thing they heard was Serenity telling Kaiba "Make me."

Serenity's eyes widened with surprise as Kaiba kissed her. But unlike the last time she kissed him back. Serenity had felt it, the spark between her and Kaiba. It may have been a small spark but Serenity held felt it and responded to it.

Realizing what she was doing and whom she was kissing Serenity became frightened. Serenity pushed Kaiba away from her, but not has forcefully as she normally would have. Kaiba didn't do anything he just stood there staring at her.

Serenity placed a figure on her lip looking somewhat bemused. Suddenly she covered he mouth and looked horrified. Without a word Serenity grabbed her bag and ran down the hall leaving Kaiba standing there staring at the locker.

Serenity ran blindly down the hall not caring who or what she ran into; her only thought was that she had to get out of there.

Mika was walking down the hall looking for Serenity when she heard people yelling at someone to watch where they were going. When she looked to see who it was she saw Serenity running towards her like the building was on fire.

"Serenity!" Mika yelled waving her arms

But Serenity took no notice of Mika. She ran passed her almost knocking some guy over.

"Serenity!?! Hey Serenity!!" Mika watch Serenity burst through the doors to the parking lot, "What is wrong with that girl."

Mika continued quickly down the hall looking for Mai and Tea hoping that they had an explanation for Serenity's behavior. As Mika looked for Mai and Tea she bumped into someone causing her to fall on her butt.

"Sorry." Mika said looking up only to find herself looking up at Kaiba "Uh Oh." Mika slowly got up and backed away

To her surprise Kaiba neither said anything nor made any sign that she had just run into him. Actually Kaiba looked confused and thoughtful at the same time. Mika watched in surprise as Kaiba walked straight passed her. Mika just shrugged her shoulders and continued her search.

"Finally I found you two!" Mika yelled seeing Mai and Tea standing by Serenity's locker "Do you guys have any idea what is wrong with Serenity."

"Oh yeah." Mai said except her voice did have that airy tone to it

"What..." Mika did like the tone of Mai's voice

"What we are about to tell you, you can not tell anyone else. Especially Joey." Tea said

"Okay...what happened?" Mika felt like they were walking on ice

"Kaiba kissed Serenity."

Mika almost laughed, "So what did she do to him this time?"

"That's just it. She kissed him back." Tea said in almost a whisper

"WHAT!!!"

"It was only for a second or two." Mai said tentatively

"Still she kissed him back." Replied Tea

"That explains why she was running so fast."

"One thing is for sure. No one else is to find out about this."

"Agreed." Said Mika and Mia in unison

(Late Afternoon)

Serenity had been driving for almost three hours not knowing where she was going. She just kept driving till she saw a sign that directed her toward a lake. Serenity decided that that would be as good a place as any to stop so she pulled into the parking lot.

Serenity walked down the path that lead to the more secluded area of the lake. There was a boulder by the shore of the lake Serenity climbed on top of it and pulled her coat closely around her. Serenity sat there thinking about what had happened only a few hours ago.

'What did I do?' Serenity asked herself, 'Why did I kiss him back?' Once again Serenity placed her finger to her lips.

Serenity didn't know what to think except for one thought that kept coming back to her. That thought was that past all the denial she had enjoyed the kiss. That one thought scared Serenity so much that she stopped thinking all together and just stared blankly across the lake.

(Across town: Kaiba Corp.)

Kaiba walked into the lobby of his office expecting to see Serenity sitting at her desk typing away at her computer, but she wasn't. Seeing the empty desk and hearing the silence of the room gave Kaiba a feeling a disappointment.

'What is wrong with me!?! I should be angry at her for not showing up not disappointed!' Kaiba walked into his office and slammed the door.

An hour later the sound of a females laughter interrupted Kaiba's train of thought. Without thinking Kaiba bolted out of his chair and threw his office doors open. Abruptly all the laughing stopped and everyone in the room stared at Kaiba in fear.

Kaiba scanned the faces for any sign of Serenity. Then seeing that she was not among the people in the lobby he slammed the door and walked over to the window.

'Why the hell do I want her to be here so badly!'

Kaiba's mind flashed back to that afternoon when out of nowhere he had kissed Serenity. He hadn't cared that she could have kneed him again; in fact he didn't care what she did to him. It was also not, as before, to make Joey mad he wasn't even there.

The most vivid memory, however, was the feeling of happiness he had felt when she had kissed him back if only for a moment. Then there was the feeling of disappointment mixed with sadness when she ran away.

'No I don't like her! That kiss meant nothing! There was no spark!'

/There was a spark and you know it. You enjoyed that kiss and you would kiss he again if you could/

'It will never happen again'

Kaiba sat down even and tried to work but he couldn't.

"Damn that girl!"

(Back at the lake)

Serenity had no idea how long she had been sitting there staring at nothing. But when she finally came back to reality she realized that not only was it dark out but she was cold and hungry. So she carefully climbed down off the boulder and headed back to her car.

Once back in the car she turned the heat on as high as it would go to warm her up. Then she heard her phone beep. She picked it up and saw that she had at least 50 missed calls from just about everybody she knew. Serenity decided she should at least call her Grandma and let her know that She was okay.

"Hello this is Taka Ichigawa."

"Grandma it's Serenity."

"Oh thank god! Serenity where on earth are you?"

"I am at the lake. I am sorry I worried every one, but I had something I needed to deal with. I hope you not too upset with me."

"A little sweetie, but I was more or less worried. Tea Garner said you ran out of school very upset. What happened?"

"I will tell you later. I am not ready to talk about it just yet."

"Okay I understand. Are you coming home now?"

"I am going to stop for some dinner first then I will be home."

"Don't be out to late."

"I won't. Could you please tell every one I am okay and that I am turning my cell off. I need to be alone for a little while longer."

"Of course sweetie."

"I love you Grandma."

"I love you too."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Serenity hung up then turned her phone off. Sighing she turned the car on the rest of the way and headed back into town.

(Friday evening: Domino Airport)

Grandma Taka and Joey sat in the waiting area of gate 15-B waiting for the six o'clock flight from New York. Serenity had given Grandma Taka a picture of Casey so that she would know who she was once she got off the plane. Serenity could not be there herself because she had to work and she was not pleased.

Joey sat eating pizza and playing his Gameboy while Grandma Taka sat reading a magazine. Half an hour later the gate attendant announced the arrival of Casey's plane. Joey and Grandma Taka stood up and went to wait by the exit from the plane.

"Joey!?!" A girl was waving frantically at Joey

Joey watched as a girl of about 16, 5'5" with short-layered brown hair and brown eyes came wobbling over to him. She seemed out of place and uncomfortable in her straight cut jean skirt, purple blouse and heels.

"Hey Joey!"

"Do I know you?"

"No, but I know who you are! Your Seren's big brother, she's told me all about you and I have seen pictures!"

"Okay but who are you?"

"Hello dear you must be Casey Davenport." Grandma Taka said coming up behind Joey

"Oh your Casey."

"Well duh!"

"It is a pleasure to meet you dear."

"Like wise Mrs. Ichigawa."

"Please call me Grandma Taka and who are these gentlemen?" Grandma Taka asked indicating to the two men behind Casey

"Oh these are my body guards Dan and Bob."

"Nice to meet you."

"Mamma." Bob and Dan said together

"Cool! Real body guards!"

"That is enough Joseph. Shall we go and get you bags."

"Sure just a sec." Casey went sat down on one of the chairs and pulled a pair of shoes out of her backpack "Don't tell my mom. She hates it when I wear these with my skirt but my feet are killing me."

"Ready?" Grandma Taka asked

"Yep!"

"Then lets go."

(Across town: Kaiba Corp)

"Serenity! Hey Serenity!!!"

"Oh hello Mokuba. How are you?"

"Great! Is Seto in his office?"

"Your in luck he just got out of his meeting."

"Great!" Mokuba ran into Kaiba's office

Serenity finished what she was working on and printed out a stack of papers. Then she placed them into a file folder and knocked on Kaiba's office door.

"Come in!"

"Sorry to interrupt, but I have the Duel Disk order forms for you to sign."

"Just set them on my desk." Kaiba didn't even look up from his computer

"Oh and Industrial Illusions called again but they didn't say why."

When Kaiba didn't answer back Serenity turned to leave.

"Serenity?"

"Yeah Mokuba?"

"Could you help me with this question since Seto is busy."

"Sure, what's the subject?"

"Biology."

"Let me see the question."

Serenity sat down on the couch next to Mokuba who handed her the book and pointed to the question.

"Oh this one is easy so I am going to help walk you through it okay."

"Okay."

Kaiba watched as Serenity helped Mokuba figure out the problem without actually telling him what to do. She was a good teacher and Mokuba could easily understand what she was saying. A smile formed on Kaiba's face as he continued to watch her.

"There you go! You got it!"

"Thanks Serenity!"

"No problem. Now I better get back to work."

Serenity turned to see Kaiba smiling at her for what reason she didn't know. Then out of nowhere she smiled back at him blushing a little before hurrying out of the room.

Mokuba looked from Kaiba to the door then back to Kaiba with a smile on his face.

"You like her."

"What?"

"You like Serenity."

"No I don't." Kaiba said going back to his work

"Yes you do. You think she is cute."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do." Kaiba ignored him "You think she's cute. You want to kiss her." That pushed a button

"Mokuba that is enough! Finish your homework!" Kaiba was mad, but Mokuba just smiled

"Denial." Whispered Mokuba so that Kaiba could not hear him

(Later that night: Serenity's room)

Casey sat in one of Serenity plush chairs waiting for Serenity to finish changing so they could continue their conversation. Serenity had been telling her all about Domino, her friends and what they did so Casey wouldn't be confused when she met them. In turn Casey had filled Serenity in on everything she had been doing since Serenity had left including all the Motocross trophies she had won.

At the moment, however, Serenity was pacing her bedroom floor.

"Serenity would you sit down! You're going to make me nervous."

"It is just so infuriating!"

"What is?"

"Not what who."

"Who then?"

"That arrogant jerk Kaiba!"

"Do I know him? Will I meet him?"

"No you don't know him and you don't want to meet him."

"Why?"

"Because he is nothing but an annoying, arrogant, selfish, egotistical JERK!"

"You know what I think?"

"What?"

"That you like this Kaiba."

"WHAT!?!"

"You have done nothing but complain about him every other sentence."

"That is because I hate him."

"Yes but the line between love and hate is a fine one."
