Last time in 'How To Find A Girlfriend…':

Serenity: "I'm heading home, okay? Don't look for me. (…) Kaiba's busy. I don't want to ruin his, well, thing… whatever…" Scene changes to outside.
Serenity: "Damn you, Seto Kaiba! Good luck, Caroline bloody Jones!" Scene changes to inside.
Kaiba: "Have you seen Serenity?"
Mokuba: "Serenity? Yeah, she's gone."
Kaiba: "Well, if Wheeler is gone, the better it is." We see Mokuba looking after Kaiba + Caroline.

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of the characters from out of it—just to remind you! I'm just a bit hyper because the last episodes of YGO will finally be in German TV soon! But that's to read in 'How To Make A Twenty-Four Years Old Female Weirdo Happy"…

"Obvious Success?"

10:30 am the next day…

Kaiba turned to give his car one last glance and pressed the remote to lock it with two loud beeps before he reluctantly left it in the parking lot. He didn't like this area of Domino and the thought of leaving his car here was anything but pleasant, but what had to be done, had to be done. And so he walked inside the apartment building where he had been only once in his entire life. The memories were still lingering in his mind though he had tried to delete them. With very little success.

The whole pack of Marlboros hadn't even worked!

He stopped at the apartment door with the self-made wooden sign, showing the number 3A and a childish pair of shoes. Tasteless in his opinion, but nothing to really mind. He pressed the button for the doorbell and waited.

He could hear voices inside. One he recognized immediately but didn't like at all. The one he wanted to hear was missing. Pressing the doorbell once again, he tapped his foot impatiently when a voice from inside said something like "Hold on. Coming!"

The door opened slightly to reveal a messy blond head and a face showing surprise, then shock, then dislike, and finally disgust before it was closed again. Fortunately Kaiba hadn't expected anything else and before the door was shut again, had put his foot inside the frame.

"Arg!" The man said and cringed, annoyed. "What do you want here, Kaiba?"

"Your hospitality is overwhelming, Wheeler," Kaiba stated when Joey finally opened the door with rolled eyes.

"Yeah, well, we're busy." Joey said with a false smile, trying to force Kaiba to make it short.

Instead the taller man nonchalantly stepped inside the apartment and passed the brown-eyed boy by. Looking around, he couldn't spot his target but something else: cards. A lot of them. But no Duel Monsters cards, rather, written cards marked with different addresses. He opened one of them, all the while being watched by Joey with narrowed eyes; his patience had never been his strength with the CEO.

"For the last time, Kaiba, what do you want?" Joey stood in front of Seto and glared, but to no avail as the brunette ignored his question once again.

"Wedding invitations. Very interesting. You and Valentine. She must be insane."

Joey growled. He would have already lunged at Kaiba if his fiancée hadn't shown up in the background.

"If I were insane, Kaiba, I would marry you instead," she stated with no humor at all.

Seto smiled amused, but creepily. "I'm hurt. Honestly, but I'm looking forward to the grand party. You can give me my invitation now. Spares you the postage."

"Who said you're invited?" Joey prompted in no time.

"I'm sure I am. I'll make sure of it." Kaiba smirked and laid the card he still held in his hands back down where he had found it. "Where's your sister, mutt?"

Joey clenched his fists at his sides, repeating his inner mantra: don't let him get to you!

"She's in her room, sick. She couldn't even go to University today. That why you can't see her." Joey said with enthusiasm, as he didn't like the idea of Kaiba being here at all. Something was wrong with Serenity being sick and her brother could smell half a mile against the wind that it had something to do with Mr. Important. No way was Kaiba seeing Joey's sister now.

"What do you want from her anyway, moneybags?"

"Mmm…" Seto made a noise almost like humming, which sounded in his case like a sarcastic melody. "None of your business. I don't care if she's sick."

The mutt was fooling him. Kaiba could tell. Serenity had been perfectly fine yesterday. She couldn't be sick. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Seto made his way to where he knew Serenity's room was. It was saved in the back of his mind since the time he'd been there before.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Mai screeched at Kaiba with a puzzled face while Joey gawked, his mouth hanging open. How the hell did Kaiba know where his sister's room was?

Kaiba turned with an exaggerated sigh. "Listen Wheeler, I'm not here to argue with you; in fact I don't want to talk with you at all. I just want to talk with your sister. Do me a favor and keep out of it, okay, mutt?"

And while Joey was growling like he wanted to prove Kaiba's names for him, Serenity had come out of her room, hearing voices. She stood with a puzzled expression on her face when she saw, whom his brother was talking to.

"Kaiba." She said as if to assure herself. There wasn't even a hint of surprise in her voice because it was suppressed by annoyance. The nerve the guy had to show up here! Dressed in the same clothes as last night! Ew! Her beautiful hazel eyes narrowed quickly.

"Serenity, he refuses to leave!" Joey shouted. "I told him you're sick and all but he just won't go away! Just say it and I'll kick his ass outta here!"

Mai choked.

Serenity nervously smiled.

Joey waited for the sign to attack the intruder.

No way could Joey kick him out, the women knew. Unfortunately, Kaiba did as well. He smirked at Joey, and then gazed at Serenity with raised eyebrows. Why, oh, why had she a thing for those azure eyes? Hell, one week ago she would have told her brother to call the police! And now? Why, why, why?

"It's okay, Joey," Serenity told her brother in a soothing voice to calm him down before she darted her eyes at Seto. "Ten minutes, Kaiba. Not one single second longer."

"That's more than enough," Seto stated and followed the girl inside her room.

He looked around for a bit, wordlessly taking in his surroundings. The walls were plastered with posters from movies or rock stars. A small computer was in one corner—an older version he supposed—something around 586. Her bed stood with the headboard against the wall and was neatly made, though a book was lying on the sheets. Opposite the bed was a wardrobe and next to it was a smaller one with sets of nail polish and other girly stuff that Seto had no clue about anyway.

"The time's already ticking, Kaiba." Suspiciously Serenity eyed Seto. What the hell did he want here at all? And why did he have to look around here? It was making her nervous!

"I know." He turned to look at her and reached for his back pocket, fishing out an envelope. "I just wanted to give you what you deserve."

Serenity's brows furrowed as she stared at the white envelope in Kaiba's right hand. "What is this?"

"It's your reward in return for your efforts in tutoring me." His lips twitched into a small, short smile as he gazed back at Serenity. "That's what you wanted, isn't it?"

Yes.

And no.

Rather… no.

She stared at the envelope as if she wished it would vanish. Was he really here to give her the damn money? Should she really take it? She should considering that he obviously had been successful last night. But considering that she liked him, fell even in love with him, it was a matter of pride and honor. She couldn't take it anymore.

"No. I don't want it." Slowly she gazed up into Kaiba's eyes with a stern look.

"No?" Seto's eyebrows rose, though he was pleased with her answer. "Why don't you want it anymore? You seemed quite emphatic when I offered it a week ago."

"I just don't want it anymore." Now she really had to find adequate words in order to refrain from appearing like a fool in front of the successful babe-magnet. "I had fun tutoring you. I don't want this to end as a simple job because I enjoyed what I did. Just take it as some kind of service from a friend, okay?"

Uneasily, she gazed down at the envelope and shoved it back, refusing it with that one motion. Kaiba looked at her with confusion but was far from unpleased. It was honorable of her not to take it and to refuse but hey, if she wouldn't take the damn envelope, his whole plan was screwed!

"But I insist." He shoved it back at Serenity. "It's just what you deserve."

What she deserved? What did she deserve at all? A man who paid her for a friendly service? Dirty money that would present her with no pride or honor? The determined look was back on his face and slowly Serenity lost her patience. If he really wanted to pay her, then fine! He should pay her! And that's it. No more Seto Kaiba at all—at least for Serenity. She was so through with that arrogant moron!

"Fine," she hissed through clenched teeth and snatched the envelope from out of Kaiba's hand. "If you feel better this way."

"In fact I do." Fortunately she had taken the envelope—that stubborn girl! He would have 'tsk'-ed if the air weren't as thick as it already was. The right corner of his mouth twitched with anticipation and happiness—yes, indeed happiness—when Serenity unfolded the white paper and stared in confusion at its content.

"It's a… voucher." Serenity's jaw had dropped when she darted her eyes at Kaiba, then back to read what was written on the light blue paper.

Seto watched her raised eyebrows and then her smile that slowly built on her beautiful features.

"…For going on a special date with Seto Kaiba?" She almost couldn't believe how sweet that was. Had he really done that? Had he even had the guts to give her that? She could use it as evidence showing what a nice person he really was… it meant he trusted her!

Oh. My. God.

Serenity looked up at the waiting CEO with his raised brows when he asked, "well? Is that a yes?"

Hm… now Serenity had her doubts. Where did that come from all of a sudden? Why her? And why was he still wearing the same old clothes as yesterday?

"I don't know. Didn't it turn out well with Caroline?" She almost spat the name of her rival.

"It went well. But that doesn't matter. Are you going to say yes or not?" Kaiba surely was pushing here and stubborn as he was, he didn't feel like explaining things.

"I don't know!" She said again, this time with force. "I mean, you can't expect me to go on a date with you after you come here, obviously not even changed… where did you come from, anyway?"

"Caroline." He answered truthfully. "Listen, Serenity. I will explain everything to you later. What I need to know now is if you're going to go on a date with me or not."

Serenity took a deep breath. Later? When was later and why was he so determined to get her answer right now? She sighed. "Fine."

"Okay. I promise to fill you in on everything when the time is be right." He nodded, assuring himself and Serenity. "So, are you ready?"

"Ready? For what?"

"The date."

"Now?" Hold on, why now? Serenity had just said okay and he already wanted to go?

"I know it's quite against the rules of what you taught me but I think we spent enough time with each other lately, so we're anything but strangers anymore. I don't want to wait another week or more." He tried to convince Serenity who gazed with a puzzled expression at Seto.

"Don't you want to get changed first?" She crossed her arms in a stubborn matter and waited for his reply.

"Later. You should get changed though." He chuckled as his eyes wandered along Serenity's legs, simply clad in sweatpants. A blue top and slippers completed her less than stylish outfit. "I'll be waiting for you in the car. Go with something casual, no dress or anything."

Passing by a glaring Joey and his fiancée, who patted the blonde's knee to calm him, Seto said his goodbyes politely, though his voice held a sarcastic tone, as it often did.

Joey growled and as soon as he heard the door shut he said, "You better get out now, moneybags, or else… or else you're dog food."

Mai sweat-dropped.

Serenity raised her arms, and then let them fall down again. What was she supposed to do? Get changed! That's what she was supposed to do! But—Kaiba was really something else. However, she needed to find something appropriate. Soon.

Seto drummed his fingers against the steering wheel as he waited for Serenity. He was humming along to a song on the radio, though he had actually no clue what was on. A small smile even graced his lips.

Was he happy? So far he was. Finally he knew what he wanted, or rather, whom. The question was if it were the right decision. He could mess up, by all the gods! But he had a plan. He wouldn't disappoint Serenity. For the first time in his life he had that certain feeling. He couldn't put his finger on but it felt good. Was he in love? He had no clue. But he supposed he could be.

Ten minutes passed by while Seto was sitting in the car, patiently waiting, until the girl finally appeared. Opening the door she shifted her way inside and gazed at him questioningly.

"Okay, where do we go?"

He smiled as he took her in. She had dressed in simple blue jeans and a yellow top. Her hair was freely dangling down her shoulders—just the way he liked it. "You'll see."

Curiously Serenity gazed ahead as Seto set the car into gear and guided it on the street. Taking in the scenery they passed by she slowly had some clues as to where this was leading. Or they. The beach promenades were just in front of them in the west of Domino when finally Seto halted the car and climbed out of it, Serenity following reluctantly.

Kaiba opened the boot and presented two pairs of inline skates. "I hope I was guessing right. Shoe size number five?"

"Err… yes." Serenity stared at the pair of skates in Kaiba's hand and wondered how he knew about her shoe size. But she wondered even more why he of all people wanted to inline skate. She had taught him well, she supposed and took the offered items.

"You can skate, can't you? I was hoping you could." He sat on the boot of the car and slipped off his rather new-looking sneakers.

"Oh, well, I can. I'm quite good actually." She took the place next to him and started to change her shoes as well while she still couldn't believe that he wanted to do exactly that with her.

"Good. Because I won't be able to help you." He closed the last strap on his skate and looked at her. "It's my premiere today."

With no hesitation he stood on his skates and rolled until they luckily stopped by themselves. Serenity smiled, eying the young man who seemed to have far more talent than just dueling, or more recently, dancing and flirting, as he wasn't doing so badly on the skates. She stood up to get the feeling with her skates and rolled next to him, while he locked the car by remote.

"You've really never done this before?" She asked as she watched his impressively improving moves.

"No. Never. The skates are Mokuba's. Well, not yours, obviously. But mine."

Oh, good God above—that man! Serenity had her hands full concentrating on his words when those brown bangs of his hair swayed in the wind, framing those eyes. She knew, if any at all, she definitely had an eye fetish from now on!

"He's only sixteen or what and he's got the same shoe size as you?" She giggled and teased him as they slowly made their way along the promenades, between the beach and the city.

"Well, the boy's got big feet." He smiled a bit, and then almost hit some passenger crossing their path.

Serenity had the feeling that this day might turn out better than she could have ever imagined. She hadn't felt too well in the morning and had skipped University in order to stay in bed and pity herself that Seto Kaiba thought another girl was far more attractive than she. But who could have ever guessed that she was wrong and he would ask her out for a date? Today, even.

It was unbelievable. Hopefully this wasn't just a dream…

Indeed, she had to believe it; at least after they had skated almost one mile both ways. And indeed, they were having fun. She liked the way Seto cursed whenever someone or something got into his way, almost making him fall over. But he was doing well, regaining his balance every time.

Did he ever fail? It didn't seem so to her.

Approaching the beach, Serenity stopped and sat down on the stones of the path next to the white sand. She unclasped the straps of her skates and removed her socks as well in order to get her toes into the warm sand, while Seto slowly sat down next to her. He was grateful that they were taking a break. The day was sunny and warm and the inline skates were making his feet slowly start to boil.

Serenity sighed and smiled before she moved to grab one of his skates in order to free his foot as well. Kaiba shot a puzzled, almost shocked look at her.

"I was starting to feel like my feet were freshly cooked pudding," she explained, never stopping with her task, instead removing the second skate as well.

"But—" Seto stopped with his sentence. Actually he didn't like the thought of Serenity removing his skates at all. His feet felt like anything but freshly showered. At least she didn't seem to care. The thought of sand between his toes wasn't the most pleasant one either.

"It's okay. It's quite nice putting your feet right in the sand." She put the skates at the side and smiled, settling down on the spot next to him again.

"It's… warm." Uncomfortable, unusual, dirty and weird as well, but he didn't have to be that negative. Warm described it perfectly fine. Seto gave a very tiny grin. "Do you like it so far?"

"What? Our date? Yes, I like it. And you?" Serenity responded with a bright, certain and enthusiastic smile.

"Yes, I do. Of course, it was my idea after all."

"Mmh…" She thought for a moment when something else, something almost forgotten, bothered her. "Why the sudden idea of going out with me at all? You were looking pretty fine with Caroline yesterday. And it went well, you said it yourself."

Seto almost chuckled. He was wondering all the time when she would become impatient and ask him finally. "You want to know what happened, am I right?"

"Yes. I mean, no, not if it's anything… too private. But yes, I just wondered what had happened that made you change your mind so suddenly."

"Well… to be honest I changed my mind when I was at Caroline's place. The moment she kissed me."

"What?" The damn bitch had kissed Serenity's property… she meant, date, yes, Serenity's date? That was sounding quite adequate at the moment. Ew. Her Kaiba. Err… Kaiba was kissed by that Paris Hilton clone! "She kissed you?"

The expression on Serenity's face was priceless but he liked it nevertheless. She obviously didn't like the thought of Caroline kissing him, which strangely pleased him. "Yes, she did. Actually she was quite nice. And she's not ugly; she has a very nice home…"

"Get to the point, Kaiba." Serenity impatiently drummed her fingers against the stones beneath her.

"I will. To put a long story short, she kissed me and just the exact moment before she did, I knew I didn't want her to. She kissed me though; I couldn't help it. Fact is, she noticed that and asked me what was wrong. So I told her."

"What did you tell her? That you didn't want to kiss her?" Serenity was a bit confused as to what it had to do with her.

"That and everything else. I didn't realize why I didn't want to kiss her in the first place. So we were talking. Caroline isn't as bad as you probably think. On the other hand, she was probably pretty dumb. Anyway, to come to the point of my talk with Caroline: I missed a lot of things when I was with her, like yelling at each other, or being soaked in coffee, or getting slapped, or…"

"Having fun?" She grinned teasingly.

He eyed her for a moment before he responded, almost defenseless. "Exactly. I guess I've had a bit of fun with you after all—the dancing part wasn't thoroughly bad." Seto admitted with a slight hint of a joke through his small grin.

Serenity gazed at him with all kinds of questions in her head but she didn't ask. There was no need to push his buttons. So far she pretty much didn't need any more convincing to believe that he preferred fun to kissing Caroline… or whatever else she had had in her mind. He obviously was serious about this. He wanted a girlfriend. No fooling around—he was dead serious.

Nonetheless, she was scared. His intentions were clear and definitely good but she hoped that he wouldn't push her into anything. The date had come rather quickly. But all she could do was wait and see how this would turn out and what he would do next.

She shouldn't remain so clueless.

"Are you hungry? Sure, you are. It's long past midday." He moved to stand up and looked down at her. "I'm going to get us something to eat. Just wait here."

Serenity watched Kaiba disappear without any clue at all. She forced herself not to come up with ideas of what he'd do exactly. The fact that they were skating was a big enough of a surprise. Playing with the sand between her fingers, she smiled slightly in happiness. There hadn't been time to even think about what they were doing, where she was and who was actually on a date with her!

And Caroline Jones was a bad kisser! Serenity thought and leaned back, supported by her palms. Either Jones kissed badly or Kaiba really preferred Serenity over her. There was still a bit of doubt playing on her mind. There had to be something else. Wasn't he human? No human guy was able to keep his hands off of Caroline Jones! Was he lying to her?

Serenity blinked against the sun as if to ask God, but Seto was just emerging back with something to eat. Carrying two paper bags and two cans of soda, he sat down next to her and opened one of the bags.

"There's a chicken burger, fried potatoes, crepes if you want something sweet, then noodles with chicken curry and a simple cheese sandwich." He gazed up at her smiling face. "What do you like?"

"I don't know… the noodles--if that's okay for you." She almost suppressed the urge to grin even as it amused her that Kaiba had gone to what was closest: the fast food at some snack bar around the beach.

He handed her the noodles without another comment and picked the chicken burger for himself, after opening a can of soda. In silence they ate for a moment and it felt nearly awkward for the first time on their date.

"You never said anything about fast food."

"What?" Serenity eyes observed Kaiba with confusion, and then she smiled. "You mean, fast food on a date?"

"Yes. But I figured there's no garlic, corncobs, poppy seeds, popcorn, onion, spareribs or watermelon in any of it. Except for the chicken but it's in between the noodles or the burger. That doesn't count." And with calmness that almost shone out of him he bit down on his chicken burger.

Serenity chuckled amused. "I see. Isn't there garlic on your chicken burger?"

Kaiba stopped chewing instantly. His eyes popped wide open and his pupils slowly moved down to his burger. What? Garlic on a chicken burger? How? That'd mean… a date without any reward at all? He'd smell deathly! God damn it! Why did he fail? Arg!

Serenity's sudden laughter snapped him out of his upset mode and he glared at her. "I was just kidding! Sorry about that."

Seto's azure orbs narrowed as he glared at her icily, but to no avail as she kept on laughing nevertheless. He puffed out breath in order to make his anger go away, then smirked. Such a funny little witch!

"That's what I've missed about you," he coldly stated with irony, but honesty as well.

Her eyes darted upwards to meet his and she saw the smirk upon his lips. Slowly a smile crept upon her mouth, this time in simple bliss. "And that's what I've missed about you."

Serenity smiled but doubted he even had a clue what she meant. She watched as Kaiba dedicated himself to his burger once again and did the same with her noodles.

"So your brother's going to get married? Who would have thought that anyone would actually take him?"

"Well, that's called love. I see why Mai loves my brother. He'd go through hell and back for her," Serenity said rather authoritatively, shrugging.

"But he's annoying," Seto insisted stubbornly, making his point clear to her.

"In some people's eyes he isn't, and in other's he is. So is Mai in some people's eyes." Serenity grinned and turned to look at Kaiba. "I for sure know: they belong together. Believe me, I live with them."

Raising an eyebrow, Seto turned back to his lunch, thinking about what she had said. Maybe it was true after all. People say that there's someone out there for everyone to make the perfect match. So far he had never believed it. But seeing that even the mutt had found himself a little lady-poodle, there still seemed to be hope.

Was Serenity his perfect match? That question popped into his head without him asking for it. He had to figure it out; that was for sure. Maybe after their date she wouldn't even be able to stand him anymore. Could she stand him at all? He didn't know. She had agreed to go out with him and she had had fun. A good start, he mused and mentally shrugged.

After they had eaten almost everything, except for a few potatoes and the crepes, Serenity leaned back, propping herself on her flat palms while watching Kaiba. He drank his soda and threw it casually into one of the bins around as if he had never done anything else in his entire life. He surely was some kind of… some weirdo, but a cute one at that.

"Can we go for a walk on the beach?"

Kaiba checked his wristwatch and nodded, standing up. He didn't reach out a hand to her to help her up—she guessed she had forgotten to teach him that—but Serenity wasn't mad at him about it. She could do that by herself and hated it when everyone thought that she needed help all the time!

They took their skates and left for the beach, Serenity steering them directly toward the ocean. Her bare feet soon met with the wet sand where the waves had crashed the shore. Kaiba scrunched up his nose. He had plans for today and there was definitely no time for a stop to get showered. Didn't she realize that? How should she? She had no clue. But whatever she did, he wouldn't tell her. Not so far.

"I love the beach! Joey and I used to be around the beach a lot when we were kids. He always got splashed by the waves." She couldn't help but recall some fond memories.

"Sounds like someone I know," Seto stated with no trace of joking. Just when Serenity gave him a questioning look, he explained. "Mokuba. Every year for his birthday he wanted to go to the beach and he always took no more than five minutes to get soaked in water."

Serenity laughed a little at the thought of that. She imagined Mokuba running away into the water while his brother was waving with hands and feet to make him listen to his orders.

"But that was when he was younger. Now he wants to go to stupid conventions or throw pool parties or go to some daft survival vacations… you never know."

"You don't like that?" Serenity could answer her question herself but she asked nonetheless, just to see Kaiba's reaction.

A snort followed. "There's an agreement we came up with. In the mornings of his birthdays we spend the day together, just the two of us. After lunch he is off to do whatever he likes, and with whoever."

"Seems like it's important to you, though, that you spend that day with him."

Kaiba drew in a long breath. "Shouldn't it?"

"No, it should," she smiled, then watched the sea, remembering what he had once had said to her. You've got no clue about my actual treats. Maybe I've much more to give than you could ever imagine! And so it truly seemed. He proved whatever image she'd had of him in the past as simply wrong. Either that or he was even worse and faking all the things he did right now.

"You know, I still can't quite believe that you actually asked me out." Serenity chuckled as she gazed at him with a smile. "Why me?"

Seto stuffed one of his hands inside his pocket as he was holding his skates with the other one. His lips twisted into a small devilish smirk, before he responded in a slightly teasing tone. "Maybe I just like your equipment."

"My wha--- Oh, dear God! You still remember that?" She blushed, embarrassed, turning away from him.

"Equipment? Of course. But why are so embarrassed? You weren't embarrassed the last time you explained the matter of your equipment to me." He tilted his head to the side, regarding the girl with a small grin.

The moment he said 'that word' Serenity blushed even more, cursing herself for ever getting drunk in front of Seto Kaiba! Her cheeks were burning and slowly she became even enraged by the situation. "Don't say that!"

"What else am I supposed call it? Womanly attachments?"

That bastard had actually a sense of humor! Still, Serenity couldn't stand the fact he was making fun of her. "Just don't call it anything at all!"

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm not drunk right now!" She nearly yelled at Kaiba who was still chuckling.

"Maybe I asked you out because you're beautiful when you're red like a tomato." He laughed lightly while she was nearly collapsing as she fumed. "Or maybe because you're easy to annoy."

"Is that what I've taught you to compliment a girl on?" She stomped with her right foot into the wet sand and put her hands on her hips, glaring. He really was pushing her buttons! Just not the right ones…

Kaiba said nothing, but just kept on walking. Amused, he smiled at her behavior. That's what he truly liked about her. That and some other things like all the details forming her unique beauty, her nature, her character, her soul and all of her features. Had he really gotten it that bad? He supposed he must have if he liked all those things about Serenity Wheeler.

"I suggest we get going now." Kaiba said after they'd walked along the beach for a while in silence.

"Already?"

"No need to be disappointed. This date is far from over." He replied calmly, making Serenity raise an eyebrow in curiosity. "You're into art and museums, aren't you? Then you certainly like exhibitions."

"What kind of exhibition?" She wondered out loud. "I thought that you weren't interested in art."

"Art isn't just art. You'll see when we get there."

End of chapter ten.

A/N: I guess there are at least two more chapters to come and I can't possibly let them fight like in the first chapters. As romance isn't my strength I need you to tell me if it's crap, yeah? XD

Please review!
