Eh, I'm so not used to five reviews a chapter. Um, I kind of get more on my other name. Hahahaha. But I worked hard for my rep so I guess I just have to start over on the Yugi-oh circuit.
Thank you to those who did review… maybe you can help me gather up more fans! Please!
By the way, I write Harry Potter stories, if you were curious….
And I don't know what in the hell fan fiction was doing, posting my story three times…WTF? Oh well, I'm sorry to those who were confused?
On with the chapter!
000000- means either change of scene or change of focus character wise.
Chapter Two:
Serenity yawned as she stretched, giving off the slight impression of a dainty feline, preparing to pounce.
Kaiba was frozen, he slowly turned his head towards the lake, trying not to draw attention to himself. Serenity probably wouldn't have noticed him…were it not for the screeching cell phone shoved in the CEO's suit pocket.
Closing his eyes, and exhaling his humility, Kaiba stiffly whisked the damned device out.
"Kaiba." He answered gruffly.

Serenity's eyes shot to her right upon hearing a strange and loud melody emitting from what seemed to be…a cellular phone?
Shadowed by the shade of the trees, Serenity sighted a young man, apparently speaking into his cell phone.
Horrified, her eyes trailed down her nearly unclothed body. She bit her lip as she blushed deeply.
'Oh what that boy must think of me…' Serenity thought, inwardly groaning.

Kaiba absentmindedly spoke to a frantic employee as he watched her gaze fall on him. Her eyes trailed down her body… and an endearing blush painted her cheeks.

Slipping into the simple sundress she wore previously, Serenity gathered her belongings. Promptly standing, she raked her fingers through her auburn tresses. Then she proceeded to bow slightly towards him; him being Kaiba, which was left completely unknown to her.
" I meant no disrespect with the attire I have chosen."
With that said, she ran off quickly.

"Okay, Joey won't be home for at least an hour… I certainly am not in the mood to go to the game shop to badger him to go home… but stupid me just had to misplace my keys!" Serenity grumbled to herself as her bare feet pattered along a sidewalk leading to nowhere in particular. Grasped in her tired hands were the straps of her painfully heeled sandals.
"Wheeler- oh, excuse me. Were you talking to yourself? I didn't mean to interrupt you. Please, go on…I can wait." Came his childish taunt from somewhere behind her.
Warily, the seventeen year old turned to glower at the brooding CEO, abroad his infamous sleek, black limousine. His heavily tinted window, usually left closed, was rolled down to reveal his not-so friendly smirk. She prepared to retaliate, but Kaiba clucked his tongue.
"Uh-uh. Bite your tongue , I have this."
Serenity heard a familiar jingling ….
'If you ever need me Serenity, ring this bell…keep it with you always, little sister.'
Joey's words came back to her as she heard the bell…the bell she kept with her…keys.
A low growl emitted from the petite young woman.
He smirked as the key ring hung desperately on his index finger.
"My keys…"
"Oh, these are yours?" Kaiba questioned mockingly.
"Seto quit being a jerk. Serenity, get in! We'll give you a ride!" The younger Kaiba inside the limo shoved his brother's head aside and stuck his own out to grin at the girl.
He then pushed the door open, revealing his older brother seated beside the door but quickly shifted to the left to avoid contact with Serenity. Mokuba sat far but directly across from where Kaiba sat.
Serenity stood biting her lip staring at the wind provoked swinging car door.
"Get in or get lost." Kaiba barked.
"Ugh, all right." Serenity climbed into the luxurious vehicle.

The drive was quiet, what were an anti-social CEO, a hyper eleven year old, and a blushing high school junior to talk about?
Kaiba took discreet glances at her, though a sneer was plastered upon his cold façade.
'She ran off in a frenzy, humiliated apparently. In her rush to cover up and leave, she forgot her keys to that doghouse she calls home-'
…His thoughts were abruptly cut off as the limo roughly halted into a break.
On instinct, his hand grasped Serenity's arm tightly as the force of the stop shoved her forward.
"What the hell is the meaning of this!" Kaiba roared, releasing his grip on the girl's arm. The privacy glass separating the chauffeur and his death dared not roll down, remaining closed.
Incessant knocking came from the window beside Kaiba, throwing his train of thought off completely.
Exasperated, Kaiba slammed his entire palm on the button, impatiently waiting as the heavily tinted window slowly rolled down.
"Oh, Madame Baba." Kaiba's scowl softened into an expression of puzzlement. He made a movement to exit the vehicle but she shook her head smiling.
"No need, sir. Good afternoon, Mister Kaiba. I was just about to phone your secretary to schedule a conference hour but I caught sight of your limo zooming past my estate, I simply couldn't resist flagging your driver down." She was a stout woman with a thick Italian accent. Beneath her wrinkles, an obvious loveliness was apparent, she was still beautiful.
"I see. You've selected a suitable candidate I presume?" Kaiba drawled, picking at his manicured fingernails.
"Quite the contrary, sir. No woman suits your high expectations, you see." The woman bit her lip nervously.
"Madame…I need an escort tonight, and more importantly, for my trip this upcoming weekend."
"Oh dear." Was Baba's response to the irritated CEO as her eyes roaming around in thought.
Her eyes flickered upon sighting Serenity.
"She's simply striking." Baba whispered as her eyes drank the young girl in.
"Wheeler!" Kaiba spat in disgust.
"Yes?" Serenity snapped out of her daze, oblivious to the situation unfolding before her.
CLIFFIE!
There you go!
Kristine.
Please review…I have put so much work into this!
