Disclaimers: I do not own Yu-gi-Oh!
A/N: Am back! Hehehe thanks for the nice reviews!!! :)
Serenity walked home in a cheerful state even if she had just left a country she loved. Japan would always be her hometown, but she would always miss Paris, France.
She made an immediate phone call to her brother, who was expecting her call once she had arrived in Japan.
"Hello, Wheeler here." Said the voice on the phone.
"JOEY! Is that really you?" she exclaimed, glad to hear her brother's voice again after one whole year.
She was really lucky that her mother had made so much money from her job as the Kaibas' maid, and she was sent to Paris to get a lively education. Joey had utterly refused his mother's offer, so she had gone instead.
"Serenity!!! I'm glad you're back!!! Where can I meet you?" her brother shouted excitedly through the phone connection.
"You don't need to meet me Joey, I want to surprise you. Anyway, I am heading back home after I get a little drink." She said.
She made her way into the coffee shop in the airport. She had made plans that she would catch a cab after she had her drink. Her dream life was starting to unfold-she would finally get to resign her former job at the Kaiba Mansion. She was finally going to get another job!
At the Kaiba Mansion...
"Miss Serenity Wheeler has sent in her resignation, sir." His secretary informed him.
"Okay." He said, clearly distracted.
"Hello, Sir? Are you paying attention?"
"Yes, Miss Wheeler just sent in her resignation. I know," he said.
Then the meaning sank in. THE DOG'S SISTER WAS RESIGNING?????
"WHAT! Wheeler is resigning? But then she has no job??" he exclaimed.
"She has a job, sir."
"Okay, whatever. Send her thirty dollars." He said dismissively.
Serenity was so glad to be home. She had missed her brother Joey so much, after all the staying in Paris.
She and her brother had exchanged a hug. "God, Serenity! You've changed so much!" Joey shouted once his sister came to the door.
It was true. She had rid herself of glasses, and her hair was straight, a reddish brown shade. It fell loosely to her slim waist. Overall, she looked beautiful.
"Hey, Serenity, did you hear that there is a party at the Kaiba Mansion later on? And Mokuba sent us an invitation." Joey informed her.
Serenity had always liked Mokuba, as well as Joey. He was kinder to them than his older brother Seto.
"Okay, Joey, but I have some souvenirs for you first." She said, handing him a camera, and several other items. "Whoah, Serenity! This must have cost you a lot of bucks!" he said, gazing in awe at the items she had bought for him.
"You like them?" she said delightedly. It was definitely home sweet home.
PARTY TIME...
Mokuba was having a good time. He had planned this party just for his brother's engagement and invited loads of people.
Just then, he spied his friend Serenity Wheeler, a girl he knew practically his whole life. "Serenity! You look... beautiful." Mokuba said, coming up to her. He was dazzled by her sudden appearance. She was wearing a beautiful midnight blue dress that matched the darkened sky, her auburn hair falling gracefully from a ponytail. Her brown eyes shined in the street lamp's light, framing her pretty face.
"Thanks, Mokuba." She said softly.
"Where's Joey?" Mokuba asked.
"Oh, he's over there." She pointed at her blonde-haired brother, who was drinking champagne nearby.
"Oh, I see. Want to dance?" he asked shyly.
"Okay," she agreed.
He led her across the dance floor, waltzing to the slow, jazzy music. 'There's just something different, the way I feel about her now... she's probably the prettiest girl in the party.' Mokuba thought. He was conscious of the fact that his hand was on a girl's waist... he had danced before, but he never felt as nervous as he did now. There was just something he couldn't identify with Serenity.
'What if I'm... falling for her all of a sudden?' he thought shyly.
He barely noticed when the song ended, and Serenity was leading him away from the dance floor.
Her cheeks were pink, probably from dancing. "Want to get some punch?" she asked him.
"Okay. I'll get some for you." He said, eager to get away from Serenity so she wouldn't be able to see his flaming red face.
He never blushed this much before. Especially not around Serenity. 'Maybe it is possible that I have a crush on her...' he thought nervously.
Seto Kaiba was leaning on the wall, talking to his future in-laws. So far, he was having a fairly good night.
He held the glass of champagne, bringing it to his lips.
"So what of the merge, Vince?" He asked politely, careful not to be rude to his future in-laws.
"The merge of our companies? It'll be fine. All we need to do is wait for the legal documents from the authorities and then we sign them." Said Mr. Hiragamo calmly.
"It's a shame that Ellie wasn't able to make it tonight. She has many patients because there's been an accident down at Plum Avenue." Mrs. Hiragamo added.
"Yes, it is a shame." He agreed. He finished his glass and put it on the table.
"By the way, Seto, we noticed a very pretty girl near your brother... who is she? We've never seen her before, in fact." Said Mr. Hiragamo.
Kaiba got curious. 'Who the hell could that be? I didn't know Mokie had a girlfriend.' He thought. He walked up to the window and peered out of the glass. He saw a pretty young girl with her hair in a ponytail, falling gracefully on her shoulders. He couldn't see the rest of her face but he could tell that she was attractive. 'Now who could that be?' he thought. He was determined to ask his little brother who that was when the party ended.
Later, after the party ended... Kaiba Mansion.
"Mokie, who was that girl you were with a while ago?" Kaiba asked his brother fondly.
Mokuba took a while before answering. "That was Serenity Wheeler," he said distractedly. He was busy fingering a flower in the vase in their living room.
'Serenity Wheeler? The mutt's SISTER?' It struck him. The pretty, attractive girl was his former employee! But what the hell did she do with herself that made her look so... different? And how was she able to go to the party?
"Seto, listen, don't get mad at the Wheelers, I invited both of them to the party because I heard that Serenity had just gotten home from France... I mean, cut her some slack. Besides, she's not in your employment anymore." Mokuba said, a weird glint in his eyes.
Seto glared at his little brother as he kept on fingering the petals of the flower. 'What now, does he think that he's in love with Wheeler? I will not have my little brother marrying someone like her, especially since her brother is my enemy!' he thought furiously. Plus, he knew that little Miss Wheeler would break his brother's heart. He didn't deserve someone like her. He was way too dignified to have her as a girlfriend.
'Damn it, I have to find some way to break them up,' he thought, marching up the stairs without another look at his brother.
A/N: Okay, that's the end for Chapter 2! So, the next chapter will start with "operation take-brother-away-from girl, otherwise known as operation TBAG". Poor Mokie! I wonder how he's going to deal with his brother trying to break him up from Serenity. This chapter will probably be the only MokubaXSerenity part. Otherwise, it's SetoXSerenity! You know, I kind of felt weird when I wrote this because I'm a SetoXSerenity fan, not MokubaXSerenity. Anyway, sorry to all MokubaXSerenity fans, you won't be seeing anymore of that! See ya! Pls. Review!!!
