Chapter 5
Five Dayz: Interrupted


Kaiba's thoughts

(last time)

The amber haired girl opened the laptop and sat still as a board. Kaiba watched her for a moment before realizing that she didn't know how to turn on the small, portable computer; after all he had let NO ONE near the thing. Not even his own wife.

He bent over the chair and desk while he pushed the power button. He chuckled a little bit while a small "oh" formed on Serenity's lips.

(this time)

Kaiba smiled to himself, while his laptop loaded from logging in. It has been so long, he thought. I never thought I'd see another day with serenity, along with my own company…. Where's Mokuba? The words seemed to slip his mind while the contemplated asking Serenity where his younger brother was.

"It's done." Serenity's sweet voice snapped Kaiba out of his thoughts. He glanced at the white screen while the girl once again sat still. It's as if every moment that passes she expects me to kill her. Kaiba, being the one that doesn't wait patiently on people, blurted, "I'm not going to kill you or anything…." Maybe that was too harsh, "Where's Mokuba?"

The used-to-be Wheeler looked in her lap and fuddled with her thumbs in a circular motion. "I…I'm just not used to you being here."

"Is this what this is about? That I am here, so its makes you uncomfortable?"

Serenity slightly nodded her head. If you weren't watching her carefully, you would have never noticed the agreement. She seemed to be in deep concentration with her hands as she twisted them nervously.

Kaiba reached down and his hand landed firmly on back of the chair. He slowly twisted the seat around so could watch Serenity's face intently.

The breath that was supposed to escape her throat was caught as she noticed that Kaiba's face was mere inches away from hers.

"Answer the questions."

Slowly, brown eyes started their elevation up to meet with Kaiba's cerulean ones.

"What ques-" She noticed the cold stare he was giving her, "Oh…those ones." She looked down again. "Mokuba is at Kaiba Corp."

"And the rest?"

"I-I…" She couldn't say. She was uncomfortable, and who wouldn't be? After all he just shows up and makes himself comfy while she doesn't know what to do. What does he expect? For her to say, "Oh….Seto, you're home. Would you like anything…? A back massage perhaps?" Come on! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that maybe she doesn't know the man that was standing in front of her anymore. It has been five long years; she can't wake up and know that everything will be alright. I mean look at the odds, especially when there's a dead man standing up in front of her, while they are supposed to be six feet under; that would defiantly make her rough around the edges. Not to mention jumpy.

"Serenity?"

"Hm?" She looked up again. Maybe she was expecting someone else?

Kaiba raised a brow at her sudden soothing-ness. I don't even change that fast. Her eyes seemed to harden with the staring down in Kaiba's and Serenity's blink-and-your-out. Or as people call it, staring contest.

Her stare….It seems heartless and cold. Serenity…what happened to you? What happened to the woman I married?

Serenity seemed to not want to loose this battle but when it came to some of the circumstances that were happening, she looked away. She seemed to be staring at the door.

But what could be over th-?

Kaiba's own thoughts were clouded by the sudden beauty. He couldn't even speak if he wanted too. His once cold heart softened so much, you could squish it between your thumb and pointer finger.

Serenity was distracted by the door opening, which caused her to look away. The crack in the door opened and revealed something she thought wouldn't be up at this time.

Little Sakura had her plushie in her hand while she opened the door. Her mother was staring at her while she stepped into the room. A man was standing off to her mother's right and her left.

Sakura narrowed her eyes, "Mommy….Who is this?" She glared as she walked up to the trench coat clothed man. Blue and Blue seemed to have an all out war. Neither one of them seemed to give up a fight for bringing one or the other down.

Serenity didn't answer right away. She watched as her little daughter had inched her way into the room and started staring at the man next to her. Brown eyes widened at the sudden surprise when her daughter asked, "Mommy….who is this?"

Serenity watched as Sakura narrowed her eyes. Sakura never liked it when her mom talked even with her guy friends.

Serenity had always told her that they would once be back with her father. And they would live together after both of them passed away. But Serenity never mentioned what her father looked like. Of, course Sakura had seen pictures, but again, Black and white newspapers never told the whole story.

Both Sakura and Seto had broken the sudden trance to look at Serenity for answers.

Sakura again asked, "Mommy….Who is this?" Her blue narrowed eyes, reminded her of Seto's.

Serenity glanced at the standing figure on the right side of her chair. "It's impossible."

Kaiba's voice came out scratchy. He didn't mean it, but his own voice was stuck in his throat. "No one can see me." Kaiba was staring at Sakura with compassion in his eyes so great he wanted to cry. He had never seen his daughter till this moment. He remembered a child's voice at the graveyard, but never expected it to be is own daughter.

Kaiba got down on one knee and looked the little girl in the eyes. "You have no idea who I am, do you?"

The little girl shook her head while Kaiba smiled. His eyes gleamed with something Serenity thought she would never see again. Love.
