Disclaimers: I don't own Yu-gi-Oh.
A/N: Here is the last chapter (awww… I enjoyed writing this!) and hopefully I might continue this in the future. But I'm not so sure. Well, anyway… I'm really sorry for the late updates on ALL of my stories, I didn't have time to update them.
The bandages were taken off that afternoon, and the doctors said that she could go to school tomorrow—although they would rather keep her in the hospital for one more day. But Serenity refused to stay cooped up in the hospital for another day. She had to know the answers to her questions.
The next morning she wedged what was left of the sandwich into her mouth, and sucked her breath in. She needed to know if what Seto Kaiba had told her at the dance was true—that he had changed his mind about everything.
Dressing in her school uniform as fast as she could manage, Serenity picked up her school bag and dashed out of the hospital. It felt nice to breathe in the cool fresh air outside, after being cooped up in the hospital. She made her way to school as fast as she could.
Seto Kaiba dressed in his uniform, never forgetting to bring along that silver briefcase. It contained pages and pages of things that he wanted to say to Serenity. He had feverishly written them all last night, befitting to the heavy realization that he didn't know what to say to Serenity at all. None of them were actually very good, as he surveyed them this morning. He must have been thinking differently yesterday night. None of these sounded right at all.
He gritted his teeth. 'Now what am I supposed to do? I have to face Serenity today, and I haven't thought of a single thing that I could actually say to her.' He thought hopelessly.
He finally spotted her at the end of the corridor. "Damn!" he swore aloud. Many people were busy blocking his way.
"KAIBA!" His fan club yelled eagerly. A hysterical girl caught hold of his sleeve. He tried to loosen her grip on him, but she was holding on too tightly.
By the time he freed himself from being harassed by screaming girls, he couldn't find Serenity. "Damn it!"
"I ought to sue you for harassment!" he glared angrily at the mob. Some girls actually looked frightened. Some took no notice of his threat and continued to scream.
Kaiba picked himself up and strode to his first class that day. 'I'll talk to her later… By then I will have figured out exactly what I want to say to her.'
The bell rang.
Serenity grabbed her books and the notebook lying on her desk. 'Where is Kaiba anyway? I haven't seen him all morning.'
The corridor was full of people again. Serenity had to struggle between the crowds to get to her locker.
Someone had slipped a note inside her locker.
"Serenity,
Meet me in the school garden, near the water fountains.
-Kaiba"
In a rush to meet him, she nearly dropped the books she was carrying for her next class. It was like a school map was outlined in her subconscious as she snaked her way past the crowds of students.
There he was. His trench coat, the usual dark blue… silver briefcase was with him, although it was set to the ground… brown hair looked a lighter shade as an effect of sunlight. And those eyes… those hypnotic cerulean eyes…
It seemed like an eternity until she finally walked in front of him. He had an indefinable expression on his face, a look between guilt and… another strange emotion.
"Serenity," he said, breathing deeply and with one smooth motion, he swept her into his arms. Serenity couldn't help but notice that he smelled really good. And that smell about him was really irresistible, it made her weak in her knees.
"Seto…" she mumbled, burying herself in his embrace. After a few moments, she broke away from him. "Listen, Seto, I came here because I want to know something."
'This is it,' Seto thought. "I know what you want to ask, Serenity. And I am here to give you the answer."
Serenity hesitated. "Kaiba… did you mean what you said that night? Have you… have you changed your mind about things?"
Seto slowly pulled her back into his embrace before answering. Instantly, Serenity knew the answer to her question. "Yes, I meant what I said…"
Then they ended up joined by the lip. Fireworks were busy shooting through both of their bodies, as the exciting sensation raced through both of their bodies. "Serenity, I love you." Kaiba whispered tenderly in between passionate kisses. Serenity kissed him without a care in the world… nothing mattered now except the both of them.
"I love you too, Seto."
EPILOGUE.
"Come on, Serenity! We can't wait forever."
"Yeah, we're coming. Seto's just going to meet us there."
Joey rolled his eyes. "Whatever… come on!"
Serenity followed Joey into the car with Mai. They were sharing a double date picnic.
About 15 minutes later, they had arrived at the picnic site.
"There he is!" Mai announced. "And I think he wants you, Serenity." She said, turning to the younger girl. Serenity blushed deeply when she saw her boyfriend.
Seto was indeed there, holding something behind his back.
"Excuse me for a second," she said to her companions, walking to Seto.
"Hey Serenity," Seto said casually, giving her a short kiss.
"Seto, stop playing! What are you hiding?" Serenity said playfully, grabbing to his neck.
Seto pretended to be offended. "I'm not hiding anything, Seren. You must be dreaming."
Serenity smiled at him, and Kaiba faked a pained smile. "Fine, you win." He brandished a bouquet of the freshest red roses Serenity had ever seen. "I love you, Serenity. Don't you ever forget that." He said, giving the bouquet to her.
"Thanks, Seto… that's so sweet of you." She said, adding, "I love you too, Seto Kaiba. Don't you ever forget that."
And this is where we leave our young lovers, as they have their romantic picnic together… Building their relationship upon the treasures that we all call, "memories".
END.
