The second to last chapter! I'm so excited! Oh yeah and I just started High school. Yeah I'm a freshman. But any way it's super cool. Any one who's not in it yet, you'll love it. Any way, here's what happened last time.

Joey looked out the window and thought about what his sister said. 'To marry Mai…I would sure love to. But the Money, and I still have to take care of sis, and I'm still in High School. But to marry her…maybe sis is right. I should think about it. For when we graduate.' Then something popped into his head. He turned to Serenity and asked.

"Do you want to marry Kaiba?" It came out somewhat shocked.

She blushed a bit and looked down. "I've thought about it Joey. Not seriously, just it came across my mind a few times. And honestly if he asked me today, I'd say no."

"Then what was all that talk about love?"

"I don't know enough of him. What I do know of him I love. I know there's so much more to him, and I want to know that part before I commit my self to him. Of his past I know nothing. Besides, I'm way to young for marriage."The waiter walked by again, but only to leave a check. "Here you go sir. I hope you enjoyed your meal. Your cheesecake is wrapped in it's to go box." He handed Joey the two pieces of cake. Serenity and Joey looked at each other and stood from their booth. They walked to the front, paid and left.


Kaiba and Mokuba were exiting out of their Limo and walked into Jared's. (A/N: I love that commercial even though it's super corny but hey.) The man at the front desk came out from behind and smiled. "Mr. Kaiba." He looked at Mokuba next. "Mr. Kaiba."

"Hello." Kaiba said coldly. "I need a ring."

"Well then sir. You came to the right place. What kind would you like?"

"An engagement ring."


Serenity looked around the classroom for Kaiba. He hadn't been in school all week, but she knew nothing was wrong with him. His health wasn't in any danger. He wasn't working; she tried KaibaCorp earlier via Mai's Cell phone. She sighed and tried to concentrate on the teacher but that didn't come easy. She shook her head and started doodling on her notebook.

Eventually the end of the class came and Serenity picked up her books and walked out. She met Mai in the hallway and smiled at her. "Hey Mai!"

Mai waved back and smiled. "Find Kaiba yet?"

Serenity shook hr head and rolled her eyes. "I even checked the office to see if he came this morning. And they rushed me out and sent me to class."

Mai laughed and said, "Well I have some good news. He left a message on my phone for you. He said he wanted you to go to KaibaCorp right after school. He has something to show you."

Serenity jumped in excitement and hugged Mai. "Yeah! How much longer of school?"

Mai shook her head. "Five hours hon. I'll drive ya there though. Just meet me at my car after school."

Serenity nodded and walked off to her next class after a stop to her locker. All during the next class she stared at the clock begging it to move faster. It never did; in fact, She swore it was going slower. The teacher repeated her name a few times before she noticed. "Yes?"

The teacher shook her head. "What did I just say about String Theory?"

Serenity leaned her head to one side and looked like she was concentrating on the floor for about five seconds before answering. "Isn't this Mythology? Why are we learning about Philosophy?"

The teacher just looked at her stunned and opened and closed her mouth but nothing came out. Serenity smirked. She had never liked this teacher. The class clapped for her but the teacher pointed towards the door. Serenity stood up and slapped the hands stuck out to her.

In the office Serenity sat in the detention room playing with her pencil. She knew the principal would come in soon. Joey told her all about referrals. And just as she suspected he walked in with a file of papers. He sat down opposite of her and opened it up. There were around ten papers inside. He pulled out the top one and read it.

"Disrespecting a teacher? Mocking their job? Serenity these are hardly sentences I'd expect to see in your record."

Serenity shrugged. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's just, Mrs. Thonerfelt has had it out for me ever since I was bumped up a year. So I was only a year behind my brother. Also, she isn't teaching us Mythology. More like Philosophy. I mean, today we were talking about string Theory! What does that have to do with Mythology?"

The principal sighed and shook his head. "Things are different here than they are in America." He looked through the other papers, which were her immigration papers. (1).

"Respecting Your Elders is very important here in Japan. And since you didn't, it results in a one day referral. If you do it again, we'll suspend you for a week. Let's try to make sure that doesn't happen ok?"

Serenity tried to hide her smile. "Yes Mr. Rennid. It won't happen again. I promise."

He nodded and stood. Serenity followed and was excused from the office to get her things and leave. Which she did gratefully. 'Now I get to see Seto's surprise! I'm so excited. But first I have to ask him were he's been all week.'

Serenity ran out of the school and towards KaibaCorp. When she was in the street, she hailed a taxi and got inside. "KaibaCorp. Please." The car took off and she dug out some money for when they stopped. Which was around five minutes later. She handed him the money and got out. Walking up the front steps the guard smiled at her. "Ms. Wheeler."

She nodded and walked into the door he opened for her. She walked passed the front desk and towards the elevators. Pressing the top floor's button the door closed and and she started her trek to the top. (And if you've ever been on an elevator with more than 10 floors, it is a trek. Cause people all want to get on at other floors and they don't go to the same floor as you so you have to stop at another floor for that person. And basically it's not fun. One time I was in a hotel and was trying to get to my room on the 35th floor from the lobby. Well any way, it was difficult.)

She stopped around 6 times before she actually got to the top. Which was all Kaiba's and Mokuba's office. She walked past Mokuba's then knocked on Kaiba's. She heard an aggravated "come in." then opened the door.

Kaiba looked up then smiled Surprised. "Serenity! What time is it?" He looked at the clock on his computer then back at her confused.

"I was suspended for the day. I talked back to Mrs. Thonerfelt." She said giggling a little. "but that that doesn't matter." She got a serious look on her face. "Where have you been for the past week?" She crossed her arms and waited expectantly.

Kaiba smiled again. "Getting your surprise ready. Do you want to see it?" He stood and started walking towards her. Serenity undid her stance and nodded.

Kaiba got really close to her. "Close your eyes." He whispered gently. Serenity did so and Kaiba reached for her hand. Using his other hand, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He opened it and took out the ring. Gently he placed it into her hand and closed her hand around. "Now open you eyes and look."

Serenity did as she was told and opened her eyes and her hand. She gasped when she saw the ring. She started breathing heavier then looked up at Kaiba. "Seto I-I don't know what to say?"

Again Kaiba smiled. "Serenity, I know we're both to young to marry. So think of it instead as a Promise Ring. On this ring I pledge to you that I will not love another. And when we're old enough, I'll marry you." He cupped her face with his hands. Serenity was smiling and starting to cry. "Will you agree?" He continued.

She started stuttering then stopped and looked him in the eyes. "You spent a week on this?" She asked truly touched. Kaiba nodded and smiled. "OF COURSE I WILL!" She jumped up and hugged him. After a moment they broke apart and Kaiba took the ring from her hand then placed it on her hand.

"I will always love you Serenity Wheeler."


Yeah I know, a corny ending but there is one chapter left.

(1). In this story, even though I didn't say it, Serenity used to live in America with her mom. Then after her operation she stayed with her brother and father.

So I hope you liked it. Please review and sorry for not updating for long.
