Chapter Four

My Brown Eyed Secratary

Kaiba sat behind his desk in his office. Serenity was starting her job here today and she hadn't shown up yet. Kaiba turned and began typing on his computer when he heard his door open.

He looked up to see Serenity. She was wearing a pair of jean shorts and her usual pink jacket. Kaiba motioned for her to sit and she did as she was told." Now your job is to copy files for me or retrieve some papers for me, your payment will be 5,000 dollars a week" Kaiba said not even taking his eyes away from his computer.

Serenity almost choked on what she heard. 5,000 dollars a week could easily pay her and Joey's rent for about a year." Um Kaiba may I ask what happen ten years ago" she found herself asking.

Kaiba turned his attention to her and then went back to his work." What happen in the past is nothing that concerns you" he responded." Oh I'am sorry I brought it up" she relpied.

Kaiba rubbed his eyes and then got up and slung his purple trench coat on." Come on lets go get some lunch" he said tring to get away from the subject that was his past." Ok" Serenity said cheerful jumping up from her seat and following Kaiba's flared out coat.

" How do your coats do that" she asked getting into the elevator with Kaiba." They flare out because their a Kaiba coat" he said laughing as the doors closed.

Downtown Domino

Day had turned into night and Kaiba and Serenity were walking through Domino Park after they had gotten done eating several hours ago. The night breeze blew pas the two and Serenity shivered at the coldness. Kaiba noticed this and lifted his heavy coat of him and placed it on her shoulders.

Due to her small statue it dragged behind her on the pavement." Thank you" she wispered. Kaiba nodded and led her to a park bench." So how has your life been" Kaiba asked her.

" Its been fine, Joey is going to college" she replied." And what about Duke" asked Kaiba. Serenity lowered her head.

" Everything is fine between us" was all she said in a plain voice." The way you say that it sounds like he's doing something wrong, are you sure its okay" Kaiba said.

" Yes its fine, ok just leave it alone" Serenity said almost yelling. She then got up and walked down the path with Kaiba behind her." Hey where are you going" he called.

" Ia'm going home" she said. Kaiba grunted," all I wanted to know was if your okay" he yelled. Serenity spun around," why sood you care, you left ten years ago and now you show up tring to budge into my life, and you won't even tell me what happen to you" she yelled anger coming into her voice.

She then turned to leave when Kaiba spoke." My parents died that day and I was abandoned, I was left all alone" Kaiba said in a low voice." I was sent to an orphanage where kids picked on me and beat me up, untill one day I was adopted by a rich tycoon named Gozubura Kaiba" Kaiba continued sitting back on the bench.

Serenity turned and returned to the bench with Kaiba to continue listening." I was then moved to America where I was to be trained to take over his company, that training was a non-stop reading books and daily beatings from my step-father". Serenity gasped why anyone would beat a eight year old boy was beyond her.

" I went through that hell for seven years untill I pushed the old man out of the tenth story window of his office, I was finally rid of him but his lessons and words were already burnt into my heart making the cold man before you" Kaiba finished.

He then rose from his spot and retrieved his coat from Serenity." You better run home, your brother is probaly already worried" he said and walked down the opposite way into darkness.

Serenity sat their tears running down her face." My life is just like yours Kaiba, I don't love Duke he makes me love him, because inside me I still love you" Serenity said and quickly wiped her tears and ran home to her waiting brother.

Kaiba walked into his mansion, he continued up the stairs and into his office. He sunk into his chair and faced his window." Why did I have to go and tell her everything" Kaiba said beating himself up. He didn't want anyone to get close to him, because when they do something bad happens like his parents.

He espically didn't want Serenity to get hurt. He turned and pulled a bottle of vodka from his desk and stayed up all night drinking his thoughts away.
