Chapter 2: Missing you
But once again she gained false hope, because nobody came. Feeling miserable she sat down on the small stairs that led to the door.
"What am I supposed to do?!?"
She buried her face in her hands. C'mon Seren, think!...how am I going to get out of this mess........
All she could think off was to get out of this neighborhood, because it did start to look threatening. Slowly walking she looked at the dark buildings. The sound of rustling papers on the ground send shivers down her spine. Getting a bit scared, she started to walk faster. Better safe than sorry, she thought.
After a few minutes of walking she arrived in a park where the sakura was gently carried by the wind.
Through the park led three different roads, split by beautiful flowerbeds and a few threes.
Serenity chose the middle road, because there was the most sun.
Meanwhile on the most right road, Yugi, Joey and Tristan sat on a bench.
"C'mon Yug! Admit it wasn't fair that I fired!" Joey said angrily.
"Well.....you came late almost every day." Yugi replied calmly.
"Yeah lazybones!" Tristan filled in.
"You 're saying he had every right to do it!?!" Joey angrily stood up, turning his back to the rest of the roads. He started to yell at Yugi, who was talking back relaxed, while Tristan was staring at the other roads. A girl dressed in dark jeans, with a matching jacket and a green t-shirt was walking on the middle road, the wind was gently playing with her long brown hair.
"Wow......" that was the only word that could escaped his lips.
"What?" Joey and Yugi said in stereo. But Tristan just pointed at the place the girl just was walking. But the middle road was now occupied by businessmen. Joey just pulled up an eyebrow.
" Whateva.... lets get something to eat."
Serenity was trying her best to fight herself through the mass of businessman that came from the opposite way. Where the hell did they come from!?! Just before all those people came she heard a voice shouting, that strangely enough, sounded just like her brothers, as far a she could remember.
At the end of the park she crossed the street to the more wealthy part of the city........at least, she wanted to.
She felt herself drop an the ground as she almost got hit by an car. Eep, just a few centimeters and she would have been no more. A young black hair man came out of the car shouting; "what the hell do you think you're doing !?!?"
Serenity, already cracked up, yelled back;
"I should be the one asking that, you blind asshole!!!!"
"Grrrr".
The guy walked up to her grabbing her arm tightly.
"You better watch your mouth." He hissed as his emerald eyes were piercing into hers.
"What do you think you're doing!?!" Serenity didn't even care if she was yelling in English or Japanese.
"Don't touch me!!" Out of pure hatred she kicked the guy.
"Damnit!"
The guy swore as he grabbed his ankle (A/N; thinking about an other place weren't ya?! . ouch)
Serenity angrily stormed of leaving everybody stunned. Suddenly everybody started walking again, and drivers started to yell at the black hared guy.
"He dicehead! Gonna stand there space out for the rest of the day!?!?"
Serenity was still angry about what happened, when she walked into a big mall. But looking at all the hi-Tec stuff they had there, she forgot it quickly.
At the pizzeria in the mall.
"He Tristan, tell me, who was that girl that you saw in the park?" Yugi asked.
"I wish I knew ." He replied, the thought of her made him blush.
"Ya mean ya have a crush?" Joey teased. But Tristan didn't reply, he was staring dream like out of the window. "It's her......."he whispered.
This time, Yugi could see her too.
"Hell she's ugly!!" Joey said. "Look at that! Are you even sure it's female!?!" He pointed at an extremely ugly looking person that if you looked from Joey's angle, stood right in front of the girl.
"No you stupid idiot!!" Tristan yelled. He pulled Joey to his side of the table, but the girl was once again gone.
"Jeez Tristan, you have a really bad taste, did you know that?" I really wouldn't expect that. Joey joked.
Yugi smiled at his friends joke. But somehow she looked a bit familiar........
"Yeah whateva! I'm going, I'm not hungry anymore after seeing that, Tristan's dream princess. Bye!"
"Bye!" Tristan and Yugi replied.
"Oh man.......I'm so hungry.............I'll die if I don't eat!" Serenity thought.
The smell of fast-food hung trough the entire mall.
Sigh She looked up to the huge clock hanging above a jewelry. "4 o'clock......what am I supposed to do? Would Joey be back home already?"
Another sigh, she was too tired to go anywhere, so she sat down on a bench. During the whole day she didn't had the chance to calm down and come to herself.
While resting a bit and thinking things over, she watched a mother and her child walk by.
They were both smiling, a man came up to them and the little girl said;
"Daddy!"
"Hi there, honey! How is my big girl today?" The man replied while hugging her.
Watching it all happen, a salty liquid streamed down her face, dripping into her lap.
Everything she ever wanted stood there right in front of her. What has she ever done to deserve what happened to her? The word itself disgusted her, it's meaning even more........r-
"Hey! Are you alright?" Looking up Serenity saw a violet eyed blond staring at her. "On this beautiful day there should be no reason to cry". She continued.
"I lost what's most dear to me, and the rest I left behind". Serenity replied.
Hmmm.....new beginnings are the hardest. here, take a chocolate.
Hesitantly Serenity looked at the blond woman.
"Just take one, it helps to recover the hurt hearts and the sad souls." The blond said smiling.
Hesitating Serenity took one. It was delicious....the sweet taste made her feel good, just as the violet-eyed girl said. (A/N: now I want chocolate too! . )
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot! I go by the name Mai Valentine, you?"
"Serenity......Serenity Kawaii." (A/N i saw that name on internet so...)
"Well, it was nice meeting you, but I have to go now, or I'll be late! Bye!" Mai said and quickly left. "Bye...."Serenity replied.
Mai was quickly walking to the exit, when she heard:
"Hey ya, Mai!
"Oh, hi Joey.....I'm sorry, but as you can see, I'm in a hurry."
"Why?"
"I was taking a break, and now I'm late! Catch you later!"
"Bye....."Joey responded slightly blushing.
Serenity, who took a different exit was quietly singing to herself.
[My life got cold]
[It happened many years ago]
[When summer slipped away]
[So chill now oh]
[We've got many years to go]
[So take it day by day]
Walking down the sunny street back to the park, she amused herself by watching at all the goodies in the expensive shops.
[And on the go]
[I lost my soul]
[To some forgotten dream and]
[How was I supposed to know]
[It wasn't what it seemed]
[And even though the last "Hello"]
[Has left me on the floor]
[I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore]
This time taking the most left road in the park, she saw a small playground. Walking closer, it seemed more and more familiar. At one of the swings she found a piece of chalk. Every time she felt down or lonely, she drew. It helped (A/N: Really!) just like Mai's chocolate.
She started to copy the postcard Joey had send her. The endless horizon of the sea with the sun slowly sinking into it. As she was working on it, she could almost hear the water splash on the shore and smell the ocean.
Slowly walking, Joey went to his favorite spot, no, not some food place, but a playground where he used to hang out with his sister........when they were still together. The sun was going down making the sky color bright red. His beloved sister........she was gone.
As he was looking at the ground, he noticed a large drawing on the ground. It was beautiful.
It looked exactly the same as that postcard.......that postcard that he had send to Serenity years ago. Completely stunned he stayed staring at it.
"Phew.....that was scary" Serenity thought. Just when she had finished the drawing, she heard some one coming and she kind of freaked out because the park was all quiet and stuff.
She almost got an heart attack when some one grabbed her shoulders.
"Boo!" Giving a scream, Serenity turned around.....looking strait into Mai's violet eyes.
"Hehe, you look like you could use some sleep." Mai said smiling.
"Eep......you really scared the hell out of me." Serenity answered. "Yawn! I-i just don't have a place to spend the night." She added whispering. "I'm broke."
"You can stay at my place!!!" Though Serenity was completely stunned by the offer, she had no time to refuse, because Mai was already dragging Serenity to her place.
Mai's apartment was really nice and comfy. After Serenity ate and had a hot shower, she went to sleep. As soon as she had put her head on the pillow, she fell fast asleep into the depths of her own dreams.
A/N: Yay!Yay! yay! Chapter 2 is finally up! Yay! on holiday for one week! Skiing! Yuppie! But don't worry, I'll write another chapter and upload it when I come back. You have any questions? Send them to me! I promise I'll send you a mail back personally.(but beware, that doesn't mean you get an answer on your question, because the most things get an explanation later in the fic.)
Well, I'll be back at the end of next week, but I don't know when I'm going to have time to upload.
I hope you enjoyed it so far, and don't forget to review!
Cheese! Le Petit Chaperon Rouge.
