Chapter15: Shattering Moments

"Darrin?" Sakura said shocked.

"Hi Sakura, sorry to drop in like this," Darrin said with a mischievous smile.

"Sorry Sakura, actually I was on a date with Darrin and-" Serena started to explain.

"I know, Mai told me," Sakura said.

"Well anyway, Darrin insisted in dropping me off here, so is it okay if Darrin stays here with us for a little while?" Serena requested.

"Umm...sure," Sakura smiled hesitantly. 'What the hell am I doing? Inviting this 'player' into my house! What if Seto finds out? And Serena might think that he's trying to have an affair with me! What do I do now!?!

"Sakura, you okay?" Serena asked as she waved her hand in front of Sakura's face.

"Oh, I'm fine, come in," Sakura said as she invited both of them in.

"Hey Serena, Darrin, what's up?" Joey asked.

"How'd the date go?" asked Charlie.

"It went well,"Darrin smiled as he slipped his arm around Serena's waist.

"Good evening Mr.Kaiba," Darrin and Serena greeted together as they saw their boss standing there.

"Good evening," Kaiba replied back, "Sakura I have some work to do upstairs, call me if you need me," Kaiba said a he proceeded towards the stairs.

"But Seto, you promised me you wouldn't leave any work for tonight," Sakura protested.

"But its consequential," Kaiba replied.

"Come on Kaiba, at least spent some time with your wife tonight," Yugi responded.

"Its okay, I understand, but you have to promise me you'll come down before the new years countdown," Sakura insisted as she tugged back at Kaiba's arm.

"I promise," Kaiba said as he leaned in and gently kissed her cheek before heading upstairs.

"Wow guys, did you see that!" Joey said wide-eyed.

"Looks like Kaiba does have a soft side after all," Mai said as she smiled at Sakura.

"Way to go Sakura, looks like your charm is melting the ice around a certain arrogant CEO's heart," Selina said as she winked at Sakura.

"Or maybe the saying is true, a man can change after marriage," Bakura smiled gently.

"Whatever it is, it sure is changing Kaiba," Tea commented.

"Your right guys, Seto is very different inside the mansion than compared to how he is outside," Sakura said beaming, "And I've already begun to experience that.

'Its almost quarter to twelve." Kaiba thought as he glanced at his office clock, 'Sakura hasn't even come up here to check on me.' Kaiba thought as he slowly stood up from his chair. 'Maybe I should go check, and besides I promised Sakura I'd be there before countdown,' Kaiba thought as he slowly proceeded down the hall.

Meanwhile...

"Hi Sakura, sorry we're late," Mokuba apologized as he entered the mansion, accompanied by a young girl beside him.

"Mokuba, its nearly twelve! I thought I told you to be back at nine!" Sakura said disappointedly.

"Sorry Sakura, actually Rebecca invited me to her house after our date and-" Mokuba tried to explain.

"So you're Rebecca, nice to meet you, I'm Mokuba's sister-in-law," Sakura smiled as she extended her hand towards Rebecca.

"Nice to meet you to miss-" Rebecca smiled timidly as she shook her hand.

"Please, call me Sakura," Sakura replied.

"Mokuba has told me a lot about you," Rebecca said still smiling.

"Hope they were nice things," Sakura chuckled as she glanced at Mokuba.

"Hey Mokuba who's the girl?" Joey asked as Mokuba and Rebecca entered the living room.

"She's my..." Mokuba said hesitantly.

"Girlfriend?" Tea chirped.

"Well...yea," Mokuba said sheepishly.

"Aren't you going to introduce?" Serena asked as she smiled at him.

"This is Rebecca," Mokuba introduced to his friends.

"Rebecca these are all my friends, Yugi, Tea, Joey, Mai, Tristan, Serenity, Duke, Selina, Charlie, Bakura, Serena and Darrin?" Mokuba questioned, "What are you doing here," he asked in surprise.

"Darrin's going out with Serena, so Serena brought him here," Tristan stated.

"Oh," Mokuba replied as he glanced at Darrin and Serena.

"Look guys its five to twelve, almost time for countdown and Seto's not-"Sakura stated.

"Looks like I made it here before countdown," Kaiba said as he came up behind Sakura.

"Yeah, five minutes," Sakura replied as she turned around.

"And who's this young lady?" asked Kaiba as he noticed Rebecca.

"She's your brother's girlfriend," Sakura said smiling.

"Girlfriend? Since when?" asked Kaiba raising an eyebrow as he glanced at Mokuba.

"Since of...weeks," Mokuba replied hesitantly.

"So you never told us about her," Kaiba stated.

"Sakura knew already," Mokuba said looking up to his brother.

"And you never bothered to tell me," Kaiba said now looking at his wife.

"Sorry," Sakura said as she gave him an apologizing look.

"One minute left before New Years," Bakura said as he looked at his wristwatch.

"Hey guys, I have an idea, as soon as the countdown reaches to zero we have to kiss our lovers," Selina suggested.

"Why the hell would we do that for?" Joey asked.

"Afraid to kiss your girlfriend in front of everyone Wheeler," Kaiba smirked.

"I bet you don't have the guts to kiss Sakura in front of us either," Joey shouted back.

"We'll see who does," Kaiba muttered.

"Get ready guys," Tea said excitedly as she sat close beside Yugi.

'10, 9, 8...'

The couples in the room at this moment looked at one another. Darrin on the other hand, caught a brief glance of Sakura before he turned towards Serena.

'7, 6, 5...'

The couples in the room came close to one another at the moment. Kaiba slowly slipped his arms around Sakura's waist as she gazed up into his deep blue orbs.

'4, 3, 2...'

Kaiba slowly leaned his face towards Sakura as she tilted her head towards his.

'1'

Couples embraced each other into a liplock as the clock struck twelve.

"Happy New Years!" everyone shouted together as soon as they broke their kisses.

Subject: Plan

Message: Don't worry my plan is half way done. I just need to do one last thing to finish everything. Nobody suspects a thing, except your sister of course. I'm sure she hasn't said anything to anyone, even her husband. You have to be patient, until everything goes well as planned. I will e-mail you as soon as the plan's complete.

Sakura sat in her office indolently, looking at the window as the rain poured down heavily outside. Files were laid out on her desk incomplete, as she just sat there lazily in her soft leather chair. 'I have to complete these files today, but I feel so woozy inside' Sakura thought as she rested her forehead on her desk. 'Maybe I should go home early and complete the files there,' she thought as she heard a soft knock at the door.

"Come in," Sakura replied without lifting her head to see who it was.

"Hey Sakura," Serena said as she slowly entered her friend's office.

"Oh...hi," Sakura said as she slowly lifted her head from her desk.

"You okay," Serena asked with a worried look as she looked at Sakura.

"Not really, I've been feeling sort of light-headed and woozy inside," Sakura responded.

"How long have you been feeling like this?" Serena questioned.

"Since last week," Sakura replied.

"Maybe you should go see a doctor or something, be..." Serena smiled.

"No way, I'm positive I can't be...besides the symptoms would take time to appear, not in a week," Sakura stated.

"You never know..." Serena said still smiling.

"You're really helping me feel better," Sakura said as she gathered her files and stood up from her desk, "I'll go inform Seto that I want to go home."

"Okay, see ya later," Serena said as she exited Sakura's office.

Sakura quickly locked her office and started walking down the hall towards Kaiba's office. She quickly approached the door and knocked softly.

"Come in," Kaiba replied in a bored tone.

"Seto?" Sakura said as she entered his office.

"Sakura, are the files done already?" Kaiba asked as he looked up from his computer.

"No...I'm...not really...feeling well," Sakura replied as she sat down in the seat in front of Kaiba's desk.

"Why? What's wrong?" asked Kaiba in a worried tone as he immediately stopped typing and looked at his wife's pale face.

"I'm feeling sort of light-headed and woozy inside," Sakura responded.

"Do you need to see a doctor?" Kaiba asked as he walked up from his chair and sat down beside his wife.

"No that's okay, I just want to go home for the rest of the day," Sakura said tiredly.

"Are you sure?" Kaiba asked as he brought his hand up to her forehead and felt her temperature.

"Yes," Sakura replied.

"Fine, go home and rest," Kaiba said, "I'll go message Roland to drop you off," he said as he reached for the phone.

"No that's okay, I'll drive home," Sakura said.

"In this condition?" Kaiba said as he quickly paged Roland to get the car ready.

"Call me if you need anything," Kaiba whispered as he kissed Sakura's forehead.

"Okay," Sakura said as she left his office.

'That's strange, nobody's home,' Sakura thought as she entered the mansion. "Mokuba..." Sakura called out. 'Where is everybody?' 'Wait a minute I forgot, Marie is on two days leave,' She soon came across a note left on the coffee table in the living room. She picked it up and started reading it.

I'll be home late today, gotta finish a project at a friend's house. Don't worry, I'll be there before dinner.

Mokuba

'Looks like its only me and myself today,' Sakura thought as she headed upstairs. She quickly changed her clothes and decided to have a cup of coffee first before she settled down to finish some of the files she brought home from work.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed as rain began to pour down more heavily than before. Dark clouds engulfed the sky as the wind began to pick up rigidly. Sakura constantly kept working in Kaiba's home office so she could finish the files before tonight. Once in awhile she leaped from her seat as the horrific sounds of thunder frightened her.

'I have to stay calm so I could finish these files as soon as I possibly can,' Sakura thought as she kept typing. 'Its almost five thirty and neither Seto or Mokuba are here yet. I haven't even received a call from them. They better be here soon or the weather condition could get worse.' Sakura thought as she stopped typing for a moment. Just then the phone in the office started ringing.

"Hello," Sakura said as she answered the phone.

"Sakura, its me, how are you feeling?" Kaiba said from the other end of the line.

"I'm feeling better now but what's taking you so long?" asked Sakura as thunder boomed outside.

"I'm sorry Sakura, I'll be home late today, Serena and I have to finish up some last minute documents," Kaiba responded.

"How long is it going to take?" Sakura questioned.

"About an hour, but I might reach home before then," Kaiba said.

"Okay, try to make it here soon, looks like we're in for a storm," Sakura said as she looked out the office window.

"Is Mokuba home?" asked Kaiba.

"No, he wasn't here when I arrived," Sakura said, "He left a note saying he went to his friend's house to finish a project."

"So you're home alone," Kaiba stated.

"Guess its that way," Sakura replied.

"Okay, I'll be home as soon as I'm done," Kaiba said as he hung up.

Sakura quickly set the phone back down as lightning flashed. 'I have to finish these files incase the power goes out,' Sakura thought as she quickly went back to typing.

"Is Sakura okay?" asked Serena as she sat in front of Kaiba's desk, helping him finish some last minute documents.

"She's feeling better now, but I'm worried, she's all alone at home," Kaiba said

"Why where's Mokuba? And the house keeper?" asked Serena.

"Mokuba's at his friend's house to finish a project and the house keeper is on leave for two days," Kaiba replied.

"Then why don't you go send someone to check on her?" suggested Serena.

"But who?" questioned Kaiba.

"I'll go Mr.Kaiba," Darrin offered as he entered Kaiba's office.

"Darrin?" Serena said in surprise.

"Sure, why not?" Darrin smiled.

"Thank you Darrin, just go check on Sakura and make sure she's alright, in this weather the power might even go out," Kaiba stated.

"Don't worry Mr. Kaiba, your wife will be absolutely fine," Darrin responded with a smirk.

"Good, I'll get there as soon as we're done," Kaiba said as Darrin left the office.

Sakura was still typing in Kaiba's office and her fingers were really starting to hurt. 'Maybe I should take a break for awhile," Sakura thought as she glanced up at the wall clock. 'Its almost six and Mokuba's still not home yet,' she thought as she got up from her chair. 'And the storm's getting worse by the second,' Sakura thought as she closed the door to the home office. 'The power can go out any-' suddenly pitch-black darkness surrounded Sakura as the lights flickered off. 'Shit! Just as I thought, the power's out! This just isn't my day,' Sakura thought as she tried to feel around in the dark.

Suddenly the doorbell started ringing downstairs. 'Its probably Mokuba,' Sakura thought as she managed to get to the staircase and started to struggle down the stairs. At last she managed to make it to the door and opened it. She immediately froze as lightning flashed making the person at the door more visible.

"Darrin?" Sakura said shocked to see him at the door, "Wh-wha-what are you...doing here?" she asked.

"Hi Sakura, Mr. Kaiba sent me here to check on you," Darrin smirked, "He told me you were all alone in the mansion."

"I'm per..perf...perfectly okay," Sakura stuttered. The last thing she needed was Darrin to check on how she was doing alone in the mansion.

"But Mr. Kaiba insisted me to make sure you were alright," Darrin said as he smiled mischievously, "So aren't you going to let me in?" he asked.

"Go tell him I'm fine," Sakura said as she started to close the door.

"Please Sakura, you shouldn't be here alone especially alone in the dark," Darrin said as he tried to push the door open.

"Just go away!" Sakura yelled as she pushed against the door with all her might.

"You can't make me go away that easily," Darrin bellowed as he succeeded to force the door open, "You can't get away from me that easily either," as the smirk on his face grew. Sakura started to panic as she tried to get away from him but instead heading for the stairs she accidentally ran into the living room. She couldn't see anything in the dark therefore it was harder to run without bumping into things.

"You can run but you can't hide," Darrin laughed maniacally as he shut the front door behind him.

"Finally done," Kaiba said as he put on his coat and was about to leave his office.

"Mr. Kaiba may I come along with you? I want to see how Sakura's doing," Serena requested.

"Sure but I wonder why Darrin hasn't given a call," Kaiba replied.

"He's probably just accompanying Sakura since she's all alone there," Serena responded.

"Maybe... but Sakura hasn't given a call either, maybe the power is out," Kaiba said, a bit worriedly.

"Don't worry Mr. Kaiba, I'm sure she's alright, at least she's not alone," Serena said as they both went down the elevator and exited the building.

Sakura looked behind her and saw the outline of Darrin coming towards her. She slowly stepped backwards as she tried to think fast but before she could she tripped and fell back onto the living room couch. Darrin took this time to take advantage of her and 'accidentally' fell on top of Sakura. He quickly pinned down both her hands by her sides so she was unable to escape.

"Looks like you don't have anymore escaping options left," Darrin chortled as glared down at Sakura.

"Looks like I was right, the power did go out," Kaiba stated as the car entered through the driveway of the mansion.

"I hope they're okay," Serena said.

"The power should be back soon because the storm's starting to clear up," Kaiba said as the car parked in.

Sakura's heart pounded against her chest as she looked up into Darrin's now prurient deep brown eyes. She was afraid this would happen soon enough. 'Why couldn't I just tell Seto right away after all he's done to me? I'm such a procrastinator!' Sakura thought.

"Don't you dare touch me or...or..." Sakura shouted trying to think fast of what to say next. But before she could say anything more, Darrin instantly caught her lips within his and kissed her with pleasure and lots of hunger. Sakura froze stiff unable to move or do anything at the moment as Darrin continued to kiss her desirably yet with lust. One of Darrin's hands let go one of Sakura's hands as he slid his hand down the side of her delicate body. Sakura finally found some strength and courage to move and speak again.

"Get off me you bastard!" Sakura shouted, "Only my...husband...has the right to...touch...my body," Sakura said as she struggled to push Darrin off her.

"Now I do too," Darrin replied as he once again seized her lips into a lustful kiss.

Suddenly Sakura heard footsteps coming towards the front door of the mansion and Darrin still had no intention of getting off her any time sooner. She could hear her name being called by her husband and friend but was unable to answer. 'Seto, Serena help me!' Sakura cried out in her mind. The doorknob slowly turned as the door slowly opened up to reveal Kaiba and Serena as they walked in.

The lights slowly flickered on, indicating the power had come back while Kaiba and Serena stood stiff near the entrance of the living room, getting the most tremendous shock of their life...
