Chapter Three

Catching Up

Rapheal sat in his apartment with a beer in his hand and football on the t.v. He then looked outside and saw a long black limo pull up outside.

Kaiba exited the limo his white trench coat blowing in the wind. He signaled for his driver to leave and he did so. Kaiba walked down the path and knocked on the door. He waited untill the door opened to reveal the muscl man Rapheal.

" Mind if I come in" Kaiba asked. Rapheal responded by moving out of the way. Kaiba crossed through the doorway and watched as Rapheal closed the door behind him. He then walked back to the couch in front of the tv and sat back down.

Kaiba walked over and sat next to him." So it seems that your wish to gain alot of muscles has come true" Kaiba said smirking." Yeah funny how ten years can change people" Rapheal replied. Kaiba lowered his head." I'am sorry for yesterday I should have treated you guys better, so where is everyone" Kaiba said looking around the empty apartment.

" Mariks working as a full time EMT for the Domino Hospital and Bakura is currently enrolled at Domino University"." What about Mai" Kaiba asked. Rapheal got a look of discomfort on his face," She moved to America to become a model". Kaiba was confused, he surely thought she would have stayed and married Rapheal, they were will good friends in school.

Rapheal rose from his seat," well enough with this gloom crap, how about we go out for awhile, you know the mall and then some food" Rapheal said slinging his black trench coat on. Kaiba shook his head and him and Rapheal headed outside and jumped into his limo.

Domino City Mall

The two men walked down the mall untill they got to a small game shop in the corner." This place is the best, they sell some good duel monster cards" Rapheal said pushing the door open. They walked in and saw a small boy maybe around sixteen. He had weird spiked up muti-colored hair.

" How may I help you" he asked." Hey there Yugi, I just came to look at the cards" Rapheal said peeking into the glass cabinets. Kaiba stood in one spot untill Yugi approached him." Hey Kaiba long time no see huh". Kaiba just grunted he never liked Yugi because he always did his little friendship things.

" So do you play cards Kaiba" Yugi asked. Kaiba smirked," I don't like to brag but I've won my share of tournaments, espically with these three" Kaiba said pulling out three Blue Eyes White Dragons from his coat.

" Wow three Blue Eyes, your lucky Kaiba they only made three of these babies" Yugi said." Hey can I get some service over here" called Rapheal holding a few cards." Coming" Yugi said running to the counter.

Buger World

Rapheal slung open the door and him and Kaiba made their way into the burger joint. They took their seat and waited untill a short waitress apporached them. She had long red hair and a small frame and the nametag with 'Serenity' on it." How may I help you two" she asked looking at Rapheal." I'll take a double decker cheese and bacon burger with a extra large soda what about you Kaiba".

Serenity instanly blushed at the mention of Rapheal's friend. She had thought he looked familar." I'll have just a plain burger with a medium soda please". Serenity worte down their order, smiled and went back to fetch their order.

Rapheal and Kaiba sat in their spot for several minutes talking untill they heard a loud crash and looked to see Serenity on the floor with the remains of a burger on her." You stupid broad that's the fifth one this week" yelled the manager of the store." I'am sorry sir, it won't happen again" Serenity said near tears.

"You idiot I don't want you here anymore your fired now get out" the manager yelled even louder than before." Serenity broke down into tears and ran out of the place. Kaiba rose from his spot and made his way outside.

When he walked out her saw Serenity with her head in her hands crying." Are you okay" Kaiba asked tring to sound not too worried." No i'am not that job was to help me and Joey pay our rent, now I can't". Kaiba stood next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

" If you want I have a job opening at my company, seems my secratary didn't like me too much" Kaiba said. Serenity looked up at him and wiped away her tears,"I'll take it on one condition" she said smiling.

" What" kaiba asked plainly. She stood up in front of him only coming up to his chest." You need to smile more often" she said laughing. Kaiba couldn't help but smile at her attitude, but his smile disappeared when a red sports car pulled up and out walked dice boy Duke Delvilin.

" Hey Serenity you ready to go" he asked. Serenity shook her head and waved bye to Kaiba before getting in the red car and driving away." I thought you didn't like her anymore" came the voice of Rapheal." I thought I didn't but I was just lying tom my self" Kaiba said.

Rapheal slung his gaint arm around Kaiba's neck," come on Marik should be home by now" Rapheal said dragging Kaiba to his limo.

" So who was that guy you were talking to" Duke asked as he sped down the highway." Just an old friend from the past" was all she said." Well you better remember your mine so don't go cheatin on me" Duke said treating Serenity like and item." I promise I won't" she said casting her head down.
