Chapter 2
Five Dayz: Three Roses

No one could explain how he died.

It had been five years since the incident. How could someone trying to get to his wife and soon coming daughter's birthday of one day old, just die?

It didn't make sense, none of it did.

No blood covered his face while lying motionless by the car. No car made it swerve. Not one person had witnessed the crash. But no one could explain a dead and soulless man laying twenty feet from his car. Not one person in the world could explain how or why the young, loving, CEO and father, THE Seto Kaiba died.

Just plain clearly, no one knew 'why?' Why was he the one to run into a death trap while trying to see his wife? Why did he un-expectantly run into a tree on the side of the rode? Why couldn't he see his daughter first? Why couldn't he see the one thing he treasured, what seemed like is whole life, be taken away from him?

Just plain 'Why?'

They blew softly while soaring with the wind. For a second, you'd think they had wings.

Yellow, Red and White hit the gravestone as Serenity and her daughter, Sakura, walked away with tears in their eyes.

Yellow for friendship.
Red for love.
White for heavenly.

Roses were always Serenity's favorite flower. She glanced back at her lover's grave before turning back again.

Sakura hadn't even known her father, but inherited his deep blue eyes. Her hair was a different situation. It was red or auburn like her mothers.

She still cared though. A part of her felt compassion for the man she never knew. The other part wanted to stray away from everyone and fulfill her duty in hating her father.

But being two young, she couldn't understand that part of her – being with her mother and all, she never learned to hate.

So she blocked it.

Something flashed around her father's tombstone as she took one last look at it for the day, maybe week. It could also mean a month. Or months. You could never tell with Serenity being busy with the company.

Sakura stopped in her tracks and ran back to her father's tombstone.

Serenity noticed that the tiny girl wasn't beside her anymore and realized she had taken off in the other direction.

Seeing her child run back sped up her heart with anguish.

"Sakura get back her please." The girl was kneeling while Serenity walked back up.

"Sakura Seto KAIBA! Get back to the Car!" Knowing that her husband was gone forever, she decided to let a part of her husband live inside her daughter's name. Sakura took in the name of her father with honor and had the same initials as any of the family members. SK. Serenity Kaiba. Seto Kaiba. Sakura Kaiba – unless you counted her middle name.

The glass pools of blue looked up at her mother, "But father has left something."

Taken aback, Serenity answered, "Honey, daddy is gone and is never coming back." She didn't know how else to describe it.

The girl stared at her mother clad in a heavy trench coat that was all too recognizable to anyone who once knew or saw Seto Kaiba.

Serenity clenched the coat, "Sakura, we're leaving now. Come." she turned towards the direction of the car. Her back faced her daughter.

"But mama...Daddy left his suitcase."

Serenity froze. No one has seen that suitcase since the day of the accident. Even that day, it wasn't even in the crashed car or anywhere near it. Everyone concluded that Seto Kaiba put it somewhere before he left the office.

Serenity forced herself to keep the tears in. "Saku, honey, I-" She turned around to come face to face with indeed the silver suitcase everyone could see that CEO barely let out of his sight.

It seemed to shine in the cloudy sky.

Even after all these years, it should have rusted or something. Yet here it was shining as if it was bought yesterday.

She took a step towards her daughter while she held it up with great struggle. "Mommy don't you see, daddy gave us his laptop."

Serenity was shocked at these words.

Sakura had never seen the suitcase before or even knew what it was. It was only in magazines and late newspapers that she has seen the thing. But Serenity was never willing to tell her what it was.

This all confused her as she crumbled to the ground while a shadow watched them from the shadows.

A smiled played their emotionless face that was rare even to this day.

A/N: So how'd ya like it! corny? stupid? good? depressing? very good?...
