A/N (otaku): the first few pages are kinda wordy, w/ no conversations, but I tried to split it up so it would be easier to read. Hope you're happy w/ the fast update! I had a day off school...so…here ya go!
A/N (surf): All I have to say is that this is the FUNNIEST chapter ever! Just wait and see, I guarantee you a laugh! Oh okay I have to stop my side hurts!
Purple-dragon-123 – ooc is good! I think surf did a really good job with Kaiba! Better than me! Lol
Vaporeon13204 – I laughed so much at that part! It's kind of like an inside joke with just the guild members!
Cherry-star-aus – Thanks so much for all your reviews! Serenity is definitely in trouble, but I'm not sure if she thinks it's that funny…lol
Painsys – do you like the different version of Serenity? Those were all the guild roleplay characters! Oh and Aiko isn't one of them, I just looked up Japanese names on the web and Aiko seemed like a good one. It means something…oh yeah it means 'love child' in Japanese.
Nkitty29 – yep, they really were!
Forbidden Temptations
Breaking and Entering
Serenity woke up at eight the next morning when the rays of sunlight penetrated her thin pink curtains. She rolled over and pulled her pillow over her head, not wanting to get up. She had a horrible headache and didn't know why. Then, all at once, last nights events came rushing back to her. She groaned and buried herself deeper in her bed, definitely not wanting to get up now. But she knew she had to get her backpack back without Joey noticing she had gone. She decided to get up and go for her routine Saturday morning job to clear her head. She pulled her hair into a high pony tail and slipped into pink sweatpants and a tank top.
Joey was sprawled across his bed when Serenity peeked into his room. She smiled. He could sleep forever. She closed the door and tiptoed into the kitchen where she picked up her CD player and cell phone. She left a note for Joey so he would know where she was, though she always went jogging every Saturday.
When she got out into the cool morning breeze, she was able to think more clearly. She could just go back to the Kaiba mansion now and get her backpack back. It wouldn't be as if Kaiba would be answering his own door. But after some thinking, Serenity decided that wouldn't work. After all, Kaiba said he would call the police if he saw her in his house again.
Serenity frowned. "No," she thought. "I'll have to sneak in and get it. Shouldn't be too hard." She decided to go quickly now while she still had an alibi for Joey for being out.
She sat down on a bus stop bench, and waited for the bus that would take her to the rich part of Domino, where the Kaiba mansion was located. She was retying her ponytail when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Well hello Serenity. Fancy meeting you here." Tristan said as Serenity turned around.
"Oh hi Tristan." Serenity said. Ever since Tristan had bumped into her on one of her morning jogs, he began 'bumping' into her nearly ever Saturday morning. It didn't usually bother Serenity, she liked the company, but in her current state she wasn't all that delighted to see him. He started talking about random things and she was relieved to see the bus coming up the street.
"Well, I'd better be going." She said, gathering her things.
"I'll take you. Where are you going?" Tristan said, gesturing towards his motorcycle.
"Um…" Serenity said uncomfortably. "That's okay, I don't want to bother you and besides, I don't really like motorcycles." She smiled what she hoped was a convincing smile.
Tristan looked hurt, but he said, "I'll see you later, okay?" before putting on his helmet and riding off.
Serenity felt bad, but she was far too nervous to think about it for long. She was about to break into the Kaiba mansion for pete's sake! She walked off the bus, recognizing the neighborhood as the one she walked thru last night. The house must be close. When she arrived in front of the gates, she stood there for a few seconds, regretting what she had to do. She sighed and snuck around the wall, looking for some kind of opening.
"I feel like some kind of spy." Serenity mumbled to herself as she hoisted herself over a low part of the fence. "So far so good."
She crept across the lawn but stopped when she came to a very strange sight. Lined up just a few yards in front of her were about five statue blue eyes white dragons. They were about two and a half feet tall and looked exactly like Kaiba's prize card. In the middle was an Ultimate blue eyes.
Serenity sighed and rolled her eyes. So this was Kaiba's idea of lawn decoration. Fitting. She looked beyond the strange lineup and noticed an open window that wouldn't be too hard to get into. She smiled and jumped over the statues. Bad idea. Right after she jumped over them, she heard a noise behind her. It sounded like…a dragon…? Serenity whirled around. The blue eyes white dragons were facing her, looking as innocent as a vicious duel monster could. But something just didn't seem right.
"Wait…" Serenity thought. "Weren't they facing the other way….?" Serenity raised an eyebrow, confused.
Just then, all the statues eyes turned a bright, robotic red. Serenity started to back away slowly. The dragons sprung into action, screeching "Trespasser! Trespasser!" as they waddled towards her.
"What the hell?" Serenity said before sprinting towards the window. The blue eyes increased their speed and volume.
Serenity scrambled to grab hold of the windowsill. As she was climbing over, the ultimate blue eyes grabbed hold of her pants and was thrown into the room when Serenity swung her leg over. It fell on its head and squirmed to right itself. While Serenity was still picking herself up, it started to stalk her, drawing closer. It let out what sounded to be a war cry and Serenity was able to grab the nearest object closest to her to defend herself. She whacked the annoying robot over the head with the garbage can printed with the words KaibaCorp on it.
It let out one last "Trespasser…" sounding like one of Joey's old talking stuffed animals when they were running low on batteries. Normally, Serenity would have laughed, but she was far too terrified.
"Serves you right." She said angrily to it as she chucked it back out the window. The thud was met with a scramble and noises from the other robots on the ground.
Serenity knew she had to get out of the room as quickly as possible before security or someone arrived at the scene of the commotion. She slipped out of the empty room and into the hall. The only person she could see in the hallway was a maid dusting object. Serenity sighed in annoyance and waited until the maid moved on down another hallway.
"Kaiba certainly doesn't worry about spending money on this place…" Serenity thought, thinking of how well kept everything was. "Then again, he is filthy rich." She thought with distaste and then turned her attention to the task at hand.
"It was either in Mokuba's room or Kaiba's secret room." She said to herself. "There should be some kind of 'You are here' map in here or something!" Serenity thought, wondering how she would ever find anything without getting lost…again. She decided to check Kaiba's secret room first, as that was the last place she was last night. She thought she remembered slightly how to get there. But as she walked, she realized that that was from Mokuba's room. She sighed. So far, this seemed like a doomed mission. After a few minutes of walking aimlessly thru the corridors, she heard an all too familiar voice.
"I'm sick, what do you expect? No, get away from me!" Mokuba's screeching voice could be heard from a hallway off to the side. Serenity at first shrank away in the opposite direction, but then it was too late, as Mokuba came storming down the secluded passageway Serenity had taken refuge in.
He stopped when he saw Serenity standing at the end of the aisle. He stood there for a few seconds before he yelled, "HEY SERENITY! What are you doing here?" as loud as he possibly could.
"Stupid brat…" Serenity thought. Aloud, she said, "Mokuba! Will you please be quiet!" as she ran over to him.
"Why should I?" he said, raising his volume slightly. "I-" He started to say, but Serenity clamped her hand over his mouth.
"Shut up will you!" she hissed at him, pulling him into a room off to the side.
"Get off me!" Mokuba said, pulling himself out of Serenity's death grip once they got into the room. Serenity leaned on the door, breathing hard.
"Look, I'm sorry." She said, calming down a little. "I'm just in a bit of trouble."
"I can see that!" Mokuba said, smirking. Serenity rolled her eyes.
"What do you want?" she said, sighing.
"Huh?" Mokuba asked.
Serenity glared. "If you don't tell your brother that I was here…what do you want?"
Mokuba contemplated this thought. "Fine, I'll help you….if…" he trailed off.
"What? Do you have everything you want?" Serenity asked.
"Well, not exactly." He looked at Serenity, his bold look gone.
"Go on…" Serenity coaxed him.
"As you can guess…it gets kinda bored around here all day with nothing to do." He continued.
"What? What about your precious video games?" Serenity asked, with a glint of a smile in her eyes.
Mokuba glared at her. "Shut up. As I was SAYING…there's never anyone around, and playing video games by myself gets boring. So, if I help you with whatever you want, then will you take me out of this house for a night?"
"On a date? Well then, Kaiba will have been right about one thing."
Mokuba's scowl intensified. "No, you idiot, I just want to get out of this house!" he finished, yelling.
"Fine, fine, I'm just teasing you." Serenity said. "And that's all nice and everything, but how are you supposed to get out of here without Kaiba noticing?" she asked.
"Oh…" Mokuba's voice faltered.
"How about you help me find my backpack first and then we'll figure something out?" Serenity said.
"Fine. Where is it?" Mokuba asked, crossing his arms.
"Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't be here, would I?" Serenity said, rolling her eyes. "I think I either left it in your room or…" she stopped. She didn't know if Mokuba knew about his brother's girlfriend room.
"Or where?" Mokuba catching on to her hesitation.
"Let's look in your room first." She said, praying it would be there. "It's not far is it?"
"No, I just came from there, but your backpack's not in there."
"Let me just look." Serenity said, opening the door and peering out. "Coast is clear, you lead the way."
Mokuba waltzed out of the room, happy that he was again the one calling the shots. They arrived at Mokuba's room ten minutes later, after no problems. He opened the door, and there was a crashing noise on the other side.
"Oops." He said with a smile. "Oh well, I wonder what that was…"
Serenity slipped thru the door. "Lamp." She said.
Mokuba walked past her, observing the lamp with a curious grin. "Dumb lamp."
Serenity started digging around in piles of games and clothes. "Do you ever clean this place?" She asked, disgusted as she picked up a piece of crusty boxers with the duel monster Dream Clown on them.
"Eh, fitting…" Serenity said. "Is that your favorite card?" she asked innocently.
"Those are MINE!" Mokuba said, swiping them out of her hands.
Serenity suppressed a giggle. "You should keep them in your drawers then! What do your friends think?" she joked.
"I don't have any friends, remember?" Mokuba said quietly.
"Oh. Sorry." Serenity said, the light mood gone. She started to look thru other piles. After fifteen minutes of searching, she sat back on her heels. "It's no use; I think I left it…. somewhere else."
"Where?" Mokuba asked slyly. "Where else would you have gone?"
Serenity threw a pillow at his head. "Kaiba has this room…where I hid when I heard someone coming…I was lost…" she said.
Mokuba burst out laughing.
Serenity gave him a dirty look. "It's not funny!"
"I…think it…..hilarious!" Mokuba managed to get out between titters. Serenity threw another pillow at him.
"I think I know where this room is." She continued. "Let's just go."
"Fine, fine." Mokuba said, recovering from his outburst. "You lead then."
Serenity ducked out of the room, Mokuba close behind her. "Let's see, I wandered around for hours…I think I went this way…" Serenity looked for any familiar clues on the walls, but it was slow going as the halls looked completely different in daylight.
"This is useless…" She said after half an hour.
"Are you talking about that room with the boxes?" Mokuba asked calmly.
"Yes…wait you know about that room?" Serenity asked, surprised. She stopped.
"Sure, I know this place like the back of my hand, what else am I going to do when I'm bored of video games?"
"So you're saying you let me freak out that I'd never find it for nothing?" Serenity asked, her eyes getting wider by the second.
Mokuba shrugged. "It was fun."
Serenity looked up at the ceiling and started counting softly. "1, 2, 3..."
"What are you doing?" Mokuba asked, innocently.
"Will you please get us there before I hurt you?" Serenity said, as threateningly as she could.
Mokuba wasn't impressed. "Fine." He said with a smirk. Ten minutes later, Serenity was standing in the room that had freaked her out so much last night. She shivered unconsciously.
"What?" Mokuba said.
"Nothing…" Serenity said as she rushed over to her backpack. "Thank god. Mission accomplished." She slung her backpack over her shoulders. "Thanks Mokuba." She said, forgetting he had done it out of blackmail.
"Hey, you haven't held up your end of the deal yet." Mokuba reminded her.
Serenity stopped. "Oh yeah, joy." She said sarcastically. "Will he even notice that you're gone?"
'Probably not…' Mokuba thought. 'But it couldn't hurt for her to distract my brother for a while…could be funny.' Aloud, he said, "Of course he'll notice! Let's go!" Mokuba grinned.
Serenity's mouth dropped. "No way! No way am I doing that!"
"But you promised!" Mokuba complained.
"Damn me and my promises!"
A/N (otaku): This chapter was long for my standards! Yay! I'm proud of myself! I was just randomly wondering if any of you could tell the difference between my chapters and surf's chapters…just wondering…just send comments in your reviews! Thanks and this is otaku signing off…next chapter is surf!
