Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

I know I left you in a bit of suspense in the last chapter. So I am continuing the interview so you can find out about Sakura's past.

Chapter3: The Arrangement

~*~

"I'm sorry but your parents have passed away." Sakura was recovering from her memory as she was telling Kaiba about her past. She turned around to face him and looked up to see his blue eyes filled with compassion. After a couple minutes of silence Kaiba spoke up, "Then what happened?" he asked.

"Well before I was born, my parents had adopted a young boy from the orphanage," said Sakura, " After a few years, I was born and that young boy became my step brother."

"Continue," asked Kaiba.

"My step brother changed my life into a life of misery," said Sakura with a sigh, "He and I didn't get along so well since we were kids."

"As we grew up our brother and sister relationship got worse," said Sakura as she continued, " And then came the day when my parents left me, I'll never forget that day."

Flashback

Ring! Ring! "Hello Reizeiro Kinoshi speaking." "Hello this is a doctor from Domino Hospital speaking, your parents are at this hospital and they have had a major car accident, we need you and your sister to come right away!" "Are they okay doctor?" "We'll tell you as soon as you get here." The doctor quickly hung up the phone. "What happened?" asked Sakura. "Mom and Dad are at the hospital, they had an accident," said her brother Reizeiro (Rez for short). "WHAT!" said Sakura as she dropped her book on the ground. "We need to go to the hospital," Rez said. They quickly ran to the hospital. As soon as they reached the hospital the doctors called them inside a room. There they saw their mom and dad lying in bed motionless. "I'm sorry," said the doctor "But you were too late."

"Mom, Dad, why did you leave me?" said Sakura as she dropped to the floor and started crying.

End Flashback

"That was the most horrifying day of my entire life!" said Sakura as a tear dropped from her eye. She quickly removed the tear so Kaiba couldn't see.

"After that incident my life changed entirely," said Sakura as she continued, "My step brother started to treat me very poorly, it got to the point where he started beating me."

"And you took it," said Kaiba

" I was helpless, I had nobody to turn back to," said Sakura sadly, " Nobody cared about me."

"How old were you when you lost your parents?" Kaiba asked.

"I was only 8 years old," said Sakura as she looked up at Kaiba.

"You're not the only one without parents Sakura," Kaiba said as he turned to stare out the window.

"What do you mean?" said Sakura.

"I was little when my parents left my brother and I at the orphanage, that's where we grew up until a wealthy man named Gozuburo adopted us," said Kaiba, " As we grew up I took over my step father's company and became president of it." Kaiba turned around to face Sakura. "You and I are very similar in ways,' said Kaiba. Sakura slightly blushed a bit. Kaiba smirked as he saw Sakura blush slightly.

" Sakura, if you don't mind I'd like you to be my wife," said Kaiba.

Sakura looked at him in amazement before she spoke. "After all you've heard about me you still accept me?"

Kaiba looked at her for a few moments before answering. " Sakura, I've been looking for a young and talented woman who is also similar to me, and that would be you."

"But I don't know, and what if Rez found out?" said Sakura.

"Don't worry about that Sakura he won't find out, besides don't you think you would be safer and more protected if you we're married?" said Kaiba.

"I'm not doubting that I wouldn't be safe or protected if I marry, It's just that I have a weird feeling inside me," said Sakura as she looked down.

"Its normal Sakura," said Kaiba, "So, do you agree to this marriage proposal or not?"

Sakura thought it over for a few minutes. Finally she came to a decision, "Okay," said Sakura as she looked into Kaiba's eyes.

Kaiba briefly glanced at Sakura before speaking. "Is this your final decision?" he asked. "I guess," Sakura replied slowly. "Then its decided, the marriage will take place next week," said Kaiba, " And I haven't discussed this with you but our marriage will only be through papers, that way your brother won't find out or neither will the media until later." Sakura dropped her head in disappointment. She had always dreamed about falling in love and becoming the bride of her beloved. But at least she'd have a better life than before hopefully.

"I think this interview has come to an end," Kaiba said slowly standing up. Sakura quickly stood up from her seat. " I'll send you the marriage papers by Monday and if you have a problem, just call," Kaiba said. "Okay," said Sakura as she exited his office.

"So how'd the interview go," said Serena excitedly. She was waiting for Sakura's interview to finish. "It was fine," Sakura said calmly as she came up to Serena.

"So what did he say?" asked Serena.

"He proposed me," said Sakura with a small smile.

"Oh my god! Congratulations!" said Serena as she hugged Sakura.

"So did you tell him," said Serena, "About your past?"

"I had to," said Sakura.

"So what did you think about him?" Serena asked.

"He's okay, a bit arrogant though," said Sakura.

"Do you like him?" asked Serena.

"Well I can't say I like him yet," said Sakura as she blushed slightly.

"So when is the wedding taking place?" asked Serena as they got into an elevator to exit the building.

"There is no wedding," said Sakura sadly, " Its just through papers."

"What!" said Serena in shock. "He doesn't want the media or Rez to find out," said Sakura as they reached the parking lot and got into Serena's car.

~*~ ~*~

"Where are we meeting them?" asked Sakura. "The Corner Café," answered Serena as she drove. It was Saturday afternoon; Serena and Sakura were suppose to meet their friends for lunch and announce the "big news" to them. "I can't wait to tell them the big news," said Serena excitedly. "Neither can I," said Sakura sarcastically. Serena quickly parked the car and they both walking towards the café.

Their friends were already there and they had ordered their lunch for them. Serena quickly ran to the table where their friend were and Sakura followed behind. They quickly took their seat. "So whats up guys?" asked Joey as he was going to bite into his burger. "We have big news to tell you," said Serena as she grabbed a can of pop and opened it. "What big news?" asked Mai as she sipped her Nestea.

"Serena! Can't you tell them after we finish our lunch?" said Sakura as she took a fork and jabbed it in a plate of fries.

"But I want to tell them now!" said Serena.

"Yea, just go ahead Serena," said Yugi.

"Sakura's getting married this week!" said Serena thrilled.

"Really!" said Serenity. " So early?" asked Tea. "To who?" asked Mai.

"Sakura you tell them," said Serena.

"Seto Kaiba," said Sakura calmly.

Hearing the name; Joey almost choked on his piece of burger he was swallowing. Tea almost dropped her pop can. Everybody almost had the same reaction. They all looked at Sakura with their mouths hanging open.

"Did ya say ya are going to marry SETO KAIBA!!!" Joey said in astonishment.

"Why what's wrong with that?" asked Sakura.

" You're asking me what's wrong? That guy is just wrong!" said Joey making a face.

"Are you feeling okay?" asked Mai.

"I'm fine," replied Sakura.

"Then why did you decide to marry him?" asked Tea.

"It's a long story," said Sakura as she sipped some of her coke.

"Well we want to know," said Selina.

"Well, I live with my step brother Reizeiro, Rez for short, and he treats me very poorly," said Sakura. " So I came to Serena for help and she told me that Kaiba was looking for a wife, I refused to marry at first but I thought it over and I have made my decision," she said.

"What about your parents?" asked Charlie.

"They've passed away," said Sakura looking down.

"We're sorry," all the friends said together.

"Why did you choose to marry?" asked Tea.

"Well I had no other choice and besides if I get married I'll be safe from my step brother," said Sakura.

"Why do ya haf to get married to Kaiba?" asked Joey.

"Well, I don't have enough time for love marriages," said Sakura, "What's the problem with him any way? He seems like a okay guy to me."

"You'll understand when ya really get to know him," answered Joey.

"Any way when's the wedding?" questioned Mai.

"There is no wedding, it's just through papers," answered Serena.

"You're kidding!" said Serenity in shock.

"No, he doesn't want the media to know about it," said Sakura.

Everybody was silent as they finished their lunch quickly. "I think we better go home now," said Tea as she stood up to leave. "Yea," said Yugi as he followed Tea. Everybody stood up to leave. "Well good luck Sakura and call us if ya need us," said Joey.

"Thanks guys, it means a lot to me," said Sakura.

~*~ ~*~

The next few days went by really quickly. Kaiba had sent Sakura the marriage forms to fill and sign out. Sakura hesitantly filled and signed the forms and of course Serena was there by her side to support her. Kaiba had finished the signing and filling the forms. He had told Sakura that she would be moving into the Kaiba mansion on Thursday. It was the night before Sakura moved into her new home and life. Serena was helping her pack her stuff.

"Serena, I'm still not sure about this, I feel like something's going to go wrong," said Sakura worriedly.

"Don't worry Sakura everything will be fine," said Serena.

"But what about America, my job, and Rez he's going to find out sooner or later," said Sakura.

"Kaiba took care of all that, didn't he tell you?" said Serena.

"But what about Rez?" asked Sakura.

"He won't find out and even if he does he can't do anything about it," said Serena confidently.

"I hope so," said Sakura.

"Sakura, you should look towards the future and try to leave the past behind," said Serena.

"I know, I can't believe I'm starting my new life tomorrow," said Sakura with a small smile.
