Sooo here's the last chapter to Sing me A song. The next story I'm going to put out is the sequel to Love Through Pain (Forever ago I know) it's going to be called Finding The Truth. And then after I finish another Story I might do a sequel to this story. I don't know. But any way here's what happened last time.
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."
Serenity was in a cab driving back to her apartment. School has ended so she knew Joey would be there. She started playing with the ring and smiled. Serenity didn't have a clue what Joey would do when he found out that she and Kaiba planned to get married. She hoped that he'd be happy but seriously doubted it. Because dating and marriage are two completely different things.
The cab stopped outside of her apartment and she gave him some cash supplied by Kaiba and walked out. She went up to her floor and quickly stuffed the ring, which was on a string around her neck, down her shirt. The door was unlocked so she walked in and Joey walked up to her.
"You got a one day suspension? Ren. How could you?" He practically yelled at her enraged.
"Joey…You get them all the time. Seriously I think you're home more than you're at school." She responded coolly putting her things on the table.
Joey gave her a look. "Why didn't you yell back? Whenever I yell you do too." He asked her suspiciously eyeing her.
Serenity shrugged and started towards her room smiling. When she got inside she closed the door and jumped onto the bed excitedly. She squealed into her pillow unable to contain her joy much longer. She jumped off and walked over to her dresser and got a prettier chain than the one she scavenged in her backpack. It was gold unlike the ring, which was silver. It also had a large diamond in the middle and smaller ones surrounding it all the way around it.
"I have to call Mai!" She said happily. Then she ran over to her phone that was on the bedside table. She speed-dialed her best friend and tapped her foot waiting for her to answer.
"Hey Chika!" Mai answered having checked caller ID to see who it was. "How was Kaiba's surprise?" She asked curiously.
"You'll never guess what it was!" Serenity said pacing around her room twirling her hair around one finger while the other hand held the phone.
"What? Come on tell me!" Mai was doing the same thing as Serenity however her room was much larger.
"Ok! Brace your self…He kinda sorta…proposed!" She had to hide her voice slightly so Joey wouldn't hear her.
"WHAT!" Mai screamed into the phone and plopped onto the floor in her room. "Oh honey! I can't believe it! What did you say!"
"Shhh…you're hurting me ears. I said yes." She sighed dreamily and fluttered her eyes even though no one saw.
"Hon…You're only in high school…" Mai started to protest but Serenity cut her off.
"I know, but it's more of a promise ring saying that we will get married. After High School."
"Well in that case that's wonderful! Does Joey know?"
Serenity coughed nervously. "Not quite I don't really know how to tell him. That's the other reason I called you. I need you to help me tell him. You calm him down after he blows up and tries to go kill Seto."
"I'll help girl. But what should we do?" She said thinking at the same time so her voice sounded distant.
"I kinda have an idea." Serenity said nervously.
Serenity went back to school the next day and put her things in her locker. Some of the people in her mythology class came up to her smiling.
"That was great the way you talked back to Mrs. Thonerfelt. She is such a loser and she hates all kids!" One of them said shaking her hand. She smiled modestly.
"Thanks guys. I'll see ya later." She started walking off towards her gym class. But two arms surrounded her and pulled down and empty hallway. She turned to face Kaiba and smiled.
"Hey! How are you?" She asked him cheerily.
Kaiba bent down to her ear and whispered seductively. "I am absolutely perfect. Have you told your brother yet?" He asked her. Serenity leaned up against him and wrapped her arms around him.
Without speaking she shook her and sighed. Then she backed up away from him. "But me and Mai-"
"Mai and I you mean." He corrected her smiling.
"Yeah sure Mai and I," she told him sarcastically rolling her eyes. "have everything planned out and we're going to put it into action today in gym for your information." She looked at the clock on the wall and her eyes widened in surprise. "Which I'm going to be late to if I don't hurry!" She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
While running off she waved and yelled goodbye. Kaiba nodded and waved at her. Then he started off to his own class, which he had on the second floor. However he took his own precious time getting there. When he did get inside the teacher didn't dare yell at him, he just took his seat and started to block him out.
His mind began wandering to Serenity and how her things with Joey were going. He was predicting how soon the entire school would know something was bothering him. Seeing how Joey would more than likely explode when he found out him and Serenity were engaged.
'I do wish Serenity had told me her plan. I know she wants to break it to him easily but I don't think there's an easy way to do it. I mean, me and the mutt hate each other. I mean, the Mutt and me.' He quietly laughed to himself at how he was just reprimanding Serenity on her grammar.
Kaiba looked out the window and onto the track field. On the field he could see Serenity, Mai, Joey, and Tristan (who was trying to get Serenity's attention) all out on the field talking. He had to admit Serenity looked pretty good in the gym uniform, and her hair tied up in a ponytail. The group of friends were talking in a circle smiling and laughing. He noticed the coach called for the two females so reluctantly the girls trudges off. With Tristan taking a good look at Serenity's retreating form. Kaiba glared out the window trying to give it enough power to reach Tristan.
"Whoa man did you feel that?" Tristan asked looking over at Joey. Joey shook his head not noticing how his bud was looking at his sister. "It felt like some one was staring at me." His jumped as his skin crawled in Goosebumps. In the distant window kaiba smirked.
"So…it's almost time for the Goodbye Bash. Do ya think, with me being such a good bud," Tristan raised his hand to his chest and nodding conceitedly. "was wonderin' if I could take serenity to the dance."
Joey looked at him with a 'what-the-heck' look across his face. "Ya mean you want to take Serenity to the dance? What do you think Kaiba will say to that?"
"Well I was sorta hoping you wouldn't allow them to see each other anymore."
The girl began to come back and stood right in front of Joey. "Ok you know I love you, right Joey?" Mai asked him looking him straight in the eyes.
Joey nodded confused. "Ya Mai. I…love ya to. But what is this about?" He looked over at Serenity.
"And I love you too Joey." She said seriously. "And I wouldn't do anything to make you angry. But I am my own person, don't you agree?"
"Look, Ren if it's about going to the dance wit' Kaiba I don't care. You can go with him." Tristan gave Joey a look.
"Well, brother, you see…between Seto and I there's more than just high school sweetheart dating."
"What are you saying?" He asked her stepping forward a bit to express his curiosity.
"What Serenity is trying to say honey, is that, serenity and Kaiba planned to get married. After high school of course." Mai said softly and slightly placing herself in front of the DNA counterpart of the man she was slightly terrified of at the moment.
For a moment there was silence, then you could hear Tristan begin tear up. There was still no reaction from Joey. He stood there stunned unable to move. Then all of a sudden he turned around and started marching towards the school building. Mai and Serenity looked at each other confused and slowly followed.
"Joey," Serenity said calmly and curiously. "Where are you going?"
Quietly he answered her. "I've got myself a CEO to kill." The girls stopped in their tracks and gasped.
They looked at each other than ran up to Joey faster. When he passed the thresh hold into the building he stopped and looked up and down the hallways. From behind them they could hear the coach blowing his whistle trying to get them to come back. Moving quickly the three of them walked, or was rather dragged by Joey's brute strength, into the school.
With an uncanny knowledge of Kaiba's class schedule Joey made his way up to the second floor AP Chemistry classroom. Joey barged through the door and got the attention of the entire class. Mai and Serenity stood there nervously. Serenity looked over at Kaiba and smiled. "Hi Seto. Joey needs to talk to you."
"No. I think decimate is a better word for it!" Joey yelled walking over to the brunette. Kaiba stood and easily held him at bay while looking at Serenity and Mai. He looked knowingly at them.
"I think I know what this is about. I take it he didn't he didn't accept it very well."
"Ya think Kaiba!" Joey yelled pulling out of Kaiba's hold. "Stay away from my sister!"
Kaiba shrugged and shook his head. "I don't think I will. You weren't against it before." People in the class room-watching intensely- nodded and spoke to each other in agreement with Kaiba.
"But that was before I found out that ya were gunna marry her!" Joey yelled with rage. The classroom went silent. I mean come on, if you found out two of your classmates were going to get married after high school you'd be surprised too.
But then, all of a sudden, there was a rounding applause. Kaiba and Serenity looked at each other and blushed. Serenity walked up to him and whispered. "They like us."
"I like us."
The class started chanting from them to kiss with Joey trying to stop them. Needless to say, it didn't work. Kaiba leaned down and kissed serenity on the lips. Again the class applauded bringing the attention of other classrooms. People were look in from the hallway and joined in the cheering.
Sighing serenity looked over at Joey. "Joey I know you and Seto have your differences, but I love you both. It wouldn't be fair for you to choose who I loved." The class, which had settled down to listen shouted yes's and agreed. Blushing more Serenity continued. "And Joey, I do respect you, you're my older brother. But I have a right to make decisions in my life. I want to marry Seto. But Joey, we're not going to until we both graduate. And I'm not going to elope."
Joey turned over to Mai who looked at him sternly. Then he looked around the classroom. He sighed and looked down at the floor. Shaking his head he made eye contact with Serenity again. "Sis, you're right. You do have a right to marry who you want. But promise me you'll wait until at least a year after high school."
People in the classroom nodded in understanding mumbling things like 'that would be a good idea.' And 'getting married right after high school isn't smart.'
Serenity nodded and turned to Kaiba. "I think we've made an agreement. I get to marry you, but only after a year of college." Joey and Kaiba nodded and Mai and Serenity smiled. Then Serenity pulled out the ring from her shirt and placed it on her finger.
People gasped and smiled happily. Serenity found her happy ending.
3 years later.
Serenity was putting all of her clothes into her bags. Preparing to make her way to Kaiba's mansion. Where she and Joey would be staying for the summer until school started again. Having successfully completed her first year of college Serenity felt confident in herself. True she didn't really like her roommate, she still had fun. Besides next year, she will be rooming with a very special person.
There was a knock on the door, which was open any way, Joey walked in. 'Ya ready sis?" He asked grabbing some of her bags.
She nodded and followed him out of the dorm room. She waved good bye to her room mates that were still there and put her stuff in the already packed car. Yugi and Tea were driving back to Domino with them. All four had been accepted to the college in Tokyo along with Mai, but she already left.
Once they arrived in domino a few hours later Joey dropped Yugi and Tea off at their respective houses then made his way to Kaiba's mansion.
"You remember you're promise right Joey. I've waited, so now you must allow me to marry Seto." Serenity teasingly, knowing Joey had helped with the preparations for the event.
Joey laughed and pulled up to the gate, which the guard opened for them. They didn't bother with their bags just walked into the house. Kaiba was waiting for them with Mokuba. Serenity ran up to him and hugged him. "Oh Seto I've missed you!"
He smiled at her. "I missed you too. Are you ready?"
"In a week." She said talking about their wedding day. "Seto I'm so excited. I finally get to marry the man I love."
"I get to marry the woman I love." Mokuba and Joey made a disgusted noise and walked into the kitchen.
A week later Kaiba and Serenity got married and lived happily together till the end of their days.
THE ENDThere! It's finally finished! I'm so happy! Now I can post the sequel to Love through pain. If ya'll read the first one. Any way this one's kinda darker, but it will have a happy ending.
