A/N: Yugi's Grandpa isn't really dead in the show (In America) but I kinda had to kill him off to accomplish my evil plans. I love Yugi's Grandpa, he was just in the way! I hope I didn't make anyone cry...lol anyways on with the next chapter!
Chapter Four: Rain Storm
Serenity had just arrived at Yugi's game shop. A few months earlier Yugi's Grandpa had died and left the shop to Yugi. Yugi and Tea had gotten together during that time and Tea moved in to help Yugi with the shop.
(Serenity's POV)
A gentle sparkling sound signified my enterance to Yugi's shop.
"I'll be with you in a minute!" Yelled a voice from somewhere deep in the shop. A few seconds later Yugi and Tea appeared from around the corner looking disheveled.
"Hi Serenity!" They greeted in unison.
"Umm...hi, did I inturrupt something?" I asked with a smile.
"Umm...no...we were just organizing the cards in the back," Said Yugi a big red blush covering his face.
"Okay, anyways I just wanted to stop by for a visit before my da...umm, my get together with an old friend," I said berating myself for almost letting my secret out.
"Cool," Said Yugi and Tea in unison again.
"You guys really gotta stop doing that. It's starting to scare me," I said letting a small laugh escape my mouth.
"Sorry," They said together before collapsing in a fit of giggles. I smile once more. I was happy for them. They looked really happy together. I really hope I can find that someday, hey maybe that someday could be tonight. After Yugi and Tea calmed down we all went to sit down and converse.
"So Serenity, you said you were getting together with an old friend tonight. He wouldn't by any chance be a handsome, blue-eyed, CEO would he?" Asked Tea with a smile.
"How did you know!" I asked astounded.
"Joey called yesterday raving about how Kaiba is trying to seduce his little sister and turn her against him," Said Tea.
"Typical Joey, overreacting as usual. Yes, I do have a date with Seto. He is taking me to a ball," I said ready for any arguments against tonight's date.
"Oh so you're calling him Seto now," Said Tea with a smirk.
"I think that you and Kaiba will make a great couple Serenity. If anyone can melt his icy exterior it's you," Said Yugi giving me a supportive smile.
"I agree," Said Tea.
"Wow, I thought you two were going to try and talk me out of my date," I said surprised.
"Nope, it's your choice who you date and Kaiba's not all bad," Said Tea.
"Thanks you guys, I really appreciate your support," I said giving them both a huge hug. We continued discussing random things after that and before I knew it it was four thirty.
"Hey thanks for everything guys but I have to be going. Seto's picking me up at five thirty and I have to get ready," I said hugging them once more and collecting myself.
"No problem, come by anytime," Said Yugi and Tea in unison.
"There you go again," I laughed opening the door and heading out.
"Bye Serenity and good luck!" Said Tea.
"Bye!" Said Yugi.
"Bye you two, see ya soon!" I said back before breaking into a run. I had to get home ASAP! I ran all the way there and ran up the stairs and right through the door, living room, and stright to my room. I quickly undressed and jumped into the shower. After a quick shower I blow dryed my hair, and carefully put my dress, accessories, and shoes on. Last but not least I had to decide what to do with my hair. I only had twenty minutes left so it couldn't be something too elaborate. Finally I decided to leave it down. I was never good at doing my hair anyways. I looked in the mirror and admired my reflection. I felt really confident for one of the only times in my life. I was ready for this. Seto Kaiba watch out! I smiled, grabbed my purse and headed out the door. The second I reached the outside Seto's limo pulled up to the curb, and the most dashingly handsome man I had ever seen stepped out of the limo. He was the example of Prince Charming, decked out in an all black suit. Then again even if he was wearing rags he would still be the handsomest man I had ever met.
"Hello Wheeler, my my do you clean up nice," Jeered Seto with a small smile.
"I'm just going to take that as a compliment Mr.Kaiba," I answered giving him a small smile back.
"That you should," He said offering me a hand. I took it and he helped me climb into the limo. He slid in next to me.
"There is one thing that has been driving me nuts," I said.
"Yes?" He said turning his ice blue gaze to me. He really did have gorgeous eyes.
"How did you know my dress, and shoe size?" I asked.
"I have a very skilled eye," He answered with a smile and a wink.
"Oh," I said trying to contain my light blush.
"Serenity let's use our first names tonight," Said Seto.
"I can call you Seto?" I asked. He didn't have to know I had already been calling him that in my mind.
"Yes," He answered a flicker of something unidentifyible in his eyes.
"Cool," I said. Seto laughed lightly. Wow he really has lightened up. The limo arrived City Hall a little while later. I started to get out when once again Seto stopped me with a gentle hand on my wrist.
"Deja vu," I said giving him what had to be the millionth smile so far and we haven't even started dancing yet.
"Serenity, I just wanted to thank you for coming tonight. I really appreciate it," Said Seto giving me a genuinely warm smile. I didn't even know he could smile like that! It was amazing just like the man behind it.
"Anytime Seto," I said softly giving him a genuine smile back. "You better know how to dance though," I said lightening the mood.
"You've never danced until you've danced with me," Said Seto as we climed out of the car.
"Well, arn't we Mr. Confident," I said. He offered his arm to me and I looped my arm through his.
"I just hope you can keep up," Seto smirked.
"You bet I can," I said.
We entered the building and Seto lead me to a huge ballroom full of men and wemon dressed in suits and ballroom gowns. The ceiling was high and had ornate chandelliers hanging down. The floors seemed to be a beautiful, polished marble and there were high windows on each wall. In the far end of the room there was a door that seemed to lead to a blacony. All in all the room was amazingly astounding.
"Here we are," Said Seto.
"It's amazing," I gasped.
"It's okay," Said Seto leading me through a crowd of people. "I have to greet the senator and then we can get to dancing," He continued giving me another wink. I smiled. We shifted through a few more people before coming to a stop infront of a greying, larger, kind looking man and a slender, also greying woman I supposed was his wife. As soon as the woman noticed Seto she smiled and grapsed his hand in a harty handshake.
"Seto! So nice to see you," She Greeted.
"Nice to see you also Mrs. Senator, Mr. Senator," Seto greeted bowing to the man and woman. "I'd like to introduce Serenity Wheeler," Seto continued turning to me. "Serenity this is the Senator and her husband.
"Nice to meet you both," I said amiably and bowed.
"Hello Serenity, it's very nice to meet you too. I'm glad to see Seto has finally found himself a girl," She said with a smile. Seto and I both blushed but didn't correct her.
"Well Mrs. Senator, Mr. Senator we will be seeing you around, right now I have to go dance with my date like I promised," Seto said with a smile in my direction.
"Ah young love," I head the Senator say as Seto lead me to the dance area. Did Seto and I look like we were in love? Maybe we are. I blushed at the thought.
(Switch to normal POV)
Seto and Serenity made their way to the dance floor. Once there Seto put his hands on Serenity's waist and she put her hands around his neck. They both had to hold back a gasp at the feelings the small touch evoked within them. After the first couple songs they unconsciously drifted closer to one another and as the night wore on Serenity found herself with her head against Seto's chest cuddled in his arms and Seto found himself with his face buried in her hair enjoying the smell of lavender. Neither wanted to let go as they reveled in the feelings coursing through them. Both afraid to fall deeper than they had already fallen, but knowing they couldn't pull away from the edge of something wonderful. So as the current song came to a close Seto took the first step closer the the edge.
"Serenity, will you join me on the balcony?" He whispered into her ear making her shiver almost imperceptibly.
"Of course," She smiled and allowed Seto to lead her to the blacony.
"What fate awaited her on that balcony?" She wondered.
