A/N: I forgot to mention this before but Seto and Serenity have known each other for a while in my story. I don't have a whole lot of time right now for a longer story where I can go into greater detail about them falling in love due to school, finals, and family obligations. Gomen! I am just writing this for fun and hoping it will provide amusement for others too. This story is written supposing that they have met on numerous occasions due to Mokuba being friends with Serenity and the rest of Yugi's gang. Therefore they have had time to build up feelings beforehand. My story is about them discovering those feelings and dealing with them. (AKA they are already in love they are just realizing it now!) Sorry everyone! I should have told you! Feel free to stop reading now! Also, please don't flame me! I am very fragile and young, and I have absolutely NO confidence whatsoever! You wouldn't want to make me a bitter old woman when I grow up, would you? Well I have babbled on enough on to the story! I just hope someone out there is actually still reading!
Chapter Three: Shower
(Serenity's POV)
The next morning I woke to sunlight shining on me. I looked at the clock and gasped at the time. It's almost twelve in the afternoon.
"When did I start sleeping so late?" I asked myself.
"Probably when you started having dreams about a certain blue-eyed, brown haired CEO," A little voice in my head answered. I smiled at the memory. Now only if I could have the real thing.
I went to take a shower and got dressed before heading out to the kitchen for some brunch. Joey and Mai were having some quality time together on the living room couch when I walked through.
"Oh hey Ren, something came for you from that jur…I mean Kaiba," Said Joey giving Serenity a strained smile.
"Oh okay, where is it?" I asked giving my brother a thankful smile for holding back his thoughts on Seto.
"On the table in the kitchen," Said Mai.
"Okay thanks!" I said excitedly going to the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen I immediately spotted a large box on the table with a light blue ribbon wrapped around it. I went over, untied the ribbon, carefully laid it next to the box, and opened the box. I gasped as I pulled out the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. It was a floor length, black silk dress. It hung off the shoulders and had long flared sleeves. It had a modest scooped neck, a small, blood-red rose embroidered over the heart, and intertwined blood-red roses al along the hem. It was simple but elegant and it looked like it cost a fortune. I smiled and decided to go try it on. I easily make it past Joey and Mai who are too busy enjoying each other's company to notice me. I went back to my room and slipped on the dress. It fit perfectly, draping across my body and showing off all my curves. I have never worn something so sexy. It made me feel beautiful and mysterious. It was then that I noticed another shoe sized box in the dress box. I pulled in out and opened it to reveal a pair of silk shoes that looked like ballerina slippers and a jewelry box. I slipped the shoes on to find they fit perfectly and I opened the jewelry box. Inside were black rose earrings with black gems in the middle and a elegant necklace with intertwined blood red roses and black gems.
"I have to be dreaming," I said to myself astonished. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming and squeaked with pain.
"Guess I'm not," I said. I smiled broadly once more and changed out of the dress. I hung it up and went to put the box away when I noticed the blue ribbon that was tied around the box again. I looked closer and realized there was writing on the other side of the ribbon.
It read: "I hope you like it. –S.K." I carefully folded it, opened my bottom dresser drawer, and placed the ribbon in the memory box that I had kept since I was six years old.
"I don't know how you did it Seto Kaiba but you have to be the most amazing man I have ever met," I said to the empty room before slipping some sneakers on and heading out. I still had a few hours left so I decided to go visit Yugi and Tea.
(With Seto, Seto's POV)
"Did she get it?" I asked my henchman.
"Yes, Mr. Kaiba," He answered.
"Good, have the limo ready at exactly five o'clock," I ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Kaiba," He said.
"Good, you can leave," I said dismissing him. He left the room but before the door closed behind him a shock of black hair ran in and tackled me.
"Hello Mokuba," I greeted ruffling my little brother's hair.
"Hey big brother, so…I heard you were taking Serenity to the ball tonight," Said Mokuba with a sly smile.
"Yes, so?" I asked with a sigh.
"You have a thing for her!" Declared Mokuba.
"No I do not," I reputed.
"Seto I'm appalled! I didn't think you could actually sick so low as to lie to your little brother," Said Mokuba giving me the sad puppy dog look. Grrr…I could never lie to that face!
"Okay, maybe I have a little 'thing' for Serenity but that information does not leave this room," I said trying to be stern but failing miserably.
"You called her Serenity!" Said Mokuba excitedly, "I am soooo….happy that you finally found someone!"
"It's not like I'm getting married or anything," I said. "Though the possibilities would be interesting with a certain redhead," I thought before shaking the thoughts forcefully out of my head.
"Hey it could happen!" Said Mokuba but before I had time to react he was gone as quick as he came. I shook my head and smiled. Tonight would at the least prove to be interesting.
To be continued….
A/N: Sorry this took so long but I had finals but now that I am done with school hopefully the chapters will be coming faster! Anyways the next chapter promises to be full of Seto/Serenityness as they arrive at the ball. Luv ya!
