Sorry for the late update. Holidays ya know. Hehehe. Ummm… So here's what happened last time.
Great now I'm all alone in this dark scary place. And I miss my big brother. And Seto. Not like I'd be able to see him, with Joey being so protective. But- OH NO!!!! MY DATE WITH SETO. IT'S TONIGHT!!!!!! I CAN'T GO!!! I'M STUCK IN THIS PLACE!!! HE'S GOING TO HATE ME FOR STANDING HIM UP!!! Unless there is a way I could get a hold of him. Would Joey call him for me telling him what happened? Well not exactly what happened but the fact that I can't go? This would make him over joyous. She pulled at the chain trying to get out of it.
"I-have-to-tell-Seto-I-can't-go! Let-me-out! UGH!!!!!!" She laid back on the ground. When she took in her surroundings she noticed the ware house was completely barren. Except for a phone hanging on the wall. If she could get a hold of Joey she could tell him to tell Seto that she can't go. AND that she was on the abandon ware house on 2nd Ave.
She stood up on shaky leg and tried to get over to the wall. She was four feet away when the chain got out of give. She then stretched as far as she could, but still she only barely reached it. Not far enough to grab it. Knowing that she was so close made the defeat even harder for her to take. She sat on the ground and started to cry. She continued until she fell asleep again into a dark pit of nightmares.
She needs help
So I guess I'll keep going.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serenity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serenity woke to a nearly empty ware house. She had had the worst sleep pf her life. She was on concrete and she was cold and she was worried that Kaiba would hate. Unbeknownst to her Joey had called him and told him why she couldn't come.
She wasn't alone anymore, the man from before was back. She sighed and looked at him. He looked back stupidly. UGH!!! What an idiot. Does he even know I'm awake? Gosh!!!!
"So the sleeping beauty has wakened." He scooted closer to he and she moved back. He kept coming closer till her was right next to her and she had no where to go. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you. I just want to talk." Serenity saw a ring of key on his belt.
Perfect know to knock him out. Then get the keys and get out. But what do I hit him with? Serenity looked around and didn't see anything. Then he eyes came across a bottle of sake in his belt too. She smirked and made a grab for it.
The man-now and hence forth known as Loser Man!! No just kidding he is now known as Joshua-grabbed her hand instead. "If you want some you have to do something. But she pulled out of his grasp and got a hold of it and hit him on the head. He instantly fell to the ground and Serenity grabbed the key ring and tried all of the keys. The last one fit.
She was free
!!!!!!!!! Joey !!!!!!!!!!!!
Joey had called Kaiba around 11 in the morning. During school. But he didn't care. All he said was Serenity needs his help. Kaiba had been very angry the last night for Serenity standing him up, but now he some thing was wrong. Kaiba came home from school and went over to Yugi's house, where Joey was staying.
"What happened to her Wheeler? Tell me now!" He was very angry serenity was hurt.
"First it's not Serenity's fault she didn't go with you last night." Joey said calmly.
"Then who's fault is it?!?!?"
Joey paused and looked at him. "You have a right to know."
"Know what? Just tell me what happened to her Mutt."
"Ok. Our father kidnapped her and took her somewhere. I have no idea where."
"Why'd he do that?"
Joey said three words that Kaiba didn't expect. "He's like yours." Joey just looked at him.
"You're lying." Kaiba said quietly. "I'm leaving. Tell Serenity, to stay out of my way."
"Kaiba!!! I'm not lying, why would I lie about this? Serenity needs you!!! You have to help her!!!" Joey grabbed his trench coat. "Please help her." The last part he said in a whisper
"No."
!!!!!!!!! Serenity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serenity ran for the door and opened it. I'm finally free. Man this feels good. But it came at a price. Her father was just out side with his gun pointed at her.
"Told you you would never see the sun again Serenity. What are you doing out here If I said that to you?" He shot her. Twice in the stomach. Then he left her there to die. He walked away from his only girl.
Serenity stared up at the sky and started to cry again. She knew she would die. She had lost so much blood already. "Joey. Seto. I love you." She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
!!!!!!!! Kaiba !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kaiba started walking away from the game shop and to Kaiba Corp. He knew school was still going but he might as well do something productive if he already left. That's when he heard a gun shot. Curiosity got the best of him and he headed the way he heard it. He turned down a street where an abandoned ware house is. He saw a man walking down the opposite side. He must have been the shooter. But who did he shoot?
Kaiba looked around and saw his worst nightmare. He saw Serenity lying on the ground bleeding. "Oh no." He said it quietly, and ran up to her. He heard her whisper she loved him but he knew she didn't know he was there. Then he watched her eyes shut.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!" He held her and tried to wake her but she didn't respond. Then he pulled out his cell phone and called the ambulance. His attention was then back on Serenity. "Please my love, you can't die. I love you too much. You're going to be ok. I promise. You're going to be fine. He started rocking her lifeless form and hummed to her. Remembering what she did for Mokuba during his tournament.
!!!!!!! Flash back !!!!!!!!!!
Kaiba had walked into the middle of their conversation but didn't let them know he was there. He listened and was somewhat angered by what Mokuba was telling her. She didn't need to know their past history. Though she was a very pretty girl. He just stood by the door and listened
"Well while I was in that place, it was darkness all around me. I tried calling for Seto but he never came. I was so alone. I was so scared. It was like-"
"Being in an eternal darkness not knowing when you would see the light again."
"Ya. You had that eye operation didn't you?"
"Yes I did."
"I guess you know what it was like huh?"
"I guess I do. But come on, you need to go back to sleep."
He looked at her for a while before speaking again. "Sing me a song. Please."
Serenity thought about which song to sing. She knew plenty of them. But most of the ones she knew were hip hop. But after about 30 seconds she found one that would do. She told Mokuba to lie down while she sang.
There is a castle on a cloud.
I like to go there in my sleep.
Aren't any floors for me to sweep.
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a room that's full of toys.
There are a hundred boy and girls.
Nobody shouts or talks to loud.
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a lady all in white.
Holds me and sings a lullaby.
She's nice to see and soft to touch.
She says "Cosette, I love you very much."
I know a place where no one's lost
I know a place where no one cries.
Crying at all is not aloud.
Not in my castle on a cloud.
Kaiba noticed that Serenity's voice had caused Mokuba to fall asleep. He didn't blame his brother though. She sounded like their mother. She used to always sing to them before they went to bed. But then she died. He watched her turn and realized he would be caught eaves dropping. Then he heard her speak again. "Oh sorry. I didn't realize you were there." He just kept looking at her. "I guess I'll leave." She started to blush.
Then he spoke (he also noticed her face change colors) though it wasn't as nice as he thought he should've treated her... "I heard you sing. It was good."
"Ummm…..thanks."
"Why are you in here?"
"Well your little brother was crying and so I came to see want the problem was."
"Well I'm here now so you can leave."
"Fine. I'm tired any way."
He watched her move past him to get out of the room. Kaiba barley whispered a thank you but Serenity heard it. She acted like she didn't but Kaiba knew she didn't hear it. But he didn't mind, she was a kind person. She wouldn't use it against him.
!!!!!!!! End Flash back !!!!!!!!!
While he was thinking about that the ambulance had come. They were trying to get him to let go of Serenity, and once he got back to earth he did. He knew only family was allowed to ride in the ambulance with her but he insisted that he did too. They let him.
When he got in there, he pulled out his phone again and called Yugi's Game Shop. Yugi's grandfather answered it.
"Hello?" he asked/said into the phone.
"Look Mr. Moto, I need to speak with wheeler know."
"Well right away mister Kaiba." Kaiba waited while Mr. Moto got Joey from his room.
"What Kaiba?" Joey's heavy New York accent rang through the receiver.
"You're sister is on her way to the hospital. I thought you should know. Good bye." He didn't wait for a response from Joey; he just shut off the conversation and took a hold of Serenity's hand. He saw the doctors doing various things to her he only hoped they were helping.
!!!!!!!!! Serenity dream mode. !!!!!!!!!
. "Oh sorry. I didn't realize you were there." He just kept looking at her. "I guess I'll leave." She started to blush.
Then he spoke (he also noticed her face change colors.). "I heard you sing. It was good."
"Ummm…..thanks."
"Why are you in here?"
"Well your little brother was crying and so I came to see want the problem was."
"Well I'm here now so you can leave."
"Fine. I'm tired any way."
The three turned at exactly the same time and collided right into each other. Kaiba growled, Joey said ow, and Serenity said sorry for bumping into Kaiba. At her voice that he knew oh so well Kaiba looked up into her eyes and amazingly said it was ok-but don't do it again.
"Why are you sitting here Serenity?"
She looked up at him with a DUH! Expression on her face but didn't say anything rude only that they were partners for the project.
"What project?"
Serenity sighed and explained what the teacher had told them to do.
"Hn. I'm not doing this. It is a waste of time. You're working alone."
"What? You can't do that. We're PARTNERS. Do you understand what that means?"
"Of course I do. I'm not an idiot like yourself."
He turned his head away so she couldn't see him blush. He didn't like insulting the woman he had a crush on.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!?!?!?!?!?!? EXCUSE ME MISTER KAIBA BUT I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT!!!! ESPECIALLY FROM SOME ONE THAT I USED TO—eep!" She had almost told. She had almost admitted to him that she used to have a crush on him during battle city.
"Fine just shut your mouth." He pointed to the other people in the class and they were all staring at them.
"Yeah whatever. You could've at least helped. I basically had to do it all idiot."
"I told you stop calling me that."
They were both walking out of the class room and unfortunately they had the next class together too. So they decided to argue while they were walking. Seto was having a very hard time controlling himself in front of her. He got the hard urge to just kiss her. It was hard for him to control and he knew he would eventually lose to this fight.
So he decided to act on it. He pulled her over into an empty hallway.
"What are you doing Kaiba?" This reminded her of their run in on his blimp. Of course she totally forgot Joey was with her then.
He didn't answer but instead looked at the ground.
"Kai-"Before she could finish the sentence Seto had kissed her. And before she knew she was kissing back. It lasted for a few seconds until they broke apart. Serenity was now falling in love with him again. They smiled at each other.
"Wow." Serenity said quietly.
Seto laughed. He put his hand on her shoulder and said. "How you like to go out with me sometime?"
"I would like that."
"Me too."
They two walked to class and the rest of the day went great.
With the last dream it triggered an emotion. She hadn't felt since the last time Kaiba kissed her. She smiled and tightened the grip on what ever was holding her hand.
Then lake a flash of lightning. All of those memories she just had were gone. Black. Nothing of the past three years she remembered. Nothing.
Kaiba felt Serenity's grip on his hand tighten. "S-Serenity? Are you awake?" He looked at her and they reached the hospital. They wheeled her out of the ambulance and sent her into the emergency room. A doctor told him to stay and wait in the waiting room while she was in surgery.
After a half an hour, Joey and they others came. He must've waited for them to get out of school then come. Joey walked right up to him.
"What happened Kaiba? And why do you seem to care all of a sudden, could it be because she really did have a reason to not show up?" He said it accusingly.
"Look Wheeler I'm not in the mood now. Not with how Serenity is. Oh and by the way she was shot. Twice. So maybe you should start setting your priorities in better order because I don't think I'm that important right now. Do you?" He smirked and sat up. He started to walk over to where the surgical room was just to watch, when a doctor came out looking for him. And Joey.
"Mister Kaiba. Mister Wheeler. I need to speak with you." He led them to a room and sat them down. "Well the operation was successful but she's not awake and there is another problem. She has amnesia."
"WHAT?!?!" Kaiba and Joey shouted at the same time.
"She doesn't remember anything that's happened for the past three years. Not a thing. We don't know if she'll get it back or not. I'm sorry."
"But that means she's forgotten everything about us." Kaiba said slowly. "She doesn't even know I exist yet." Joey looked at him and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He must truly love her. I shouldn't of been so judgmental to him. Joey stood up and faced the doctor.
"Can we see her?" He asked.
"Yes but only you two. No one else. I'll take you to her room." The doctor led them down some hallways ad into a room. When he opened it he walked in quietly. "She's had a fast recovery, but…well you know." Joey and Kaiba walked in and looked at her. She looked fine other than the fact that she had a bandage around her stomach.
Kaiba and Joey walked up to her as the doctor walked out. They grabbed both of her hands and stroked them. Then Joey got up to give the others the news. "They gotta know. I'll let you stay wit her." He then walked out. Kaiba's attention went straight to Serenity.
"Come on Love. I told you you would be ok. So you have to pull through this. I need you so much Serenity. I love you so much. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. Please baby wake up. Though maybe you shouldn't because then you wouldn't remember me if you did. That makes it all the worse Serenity. I don't want you to forget everything that's happened to us. I don't want you forget how we first met. And what happened after that. I don't want you to Serenity. Please don't." He then leaned over and kissed her.
"I love you Serenity Wheeler."
