Chapter 6
Five Dayz: Fatherly love

(Last time)

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 his 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.

(This time)

Serenity quietly slipped behind her daughter and embraced her. Seto watched the whole scene unfold.

Never in his whole world could he think he would be given the chance to see his family again. Let alone, actually live with them. Maybe was the answer on the last part of the statement.

Sakura silently let herself be held by her mother as she stared at the stranger in her mother's room. It was odd, seeing him. It almost felt like she has seen him before.

But where?

Was the obvious question.

"Mommy?"

Serenity strengthened the hold on her daughter while kneeling on the ground. "Hm?" She had her eyes closed hoping that when she opened them someone would disappear and it would all be a dream.

And yet as she squinted one of them opened she met the eyes of her husband, again. Her heart almost melted her heart. Perhaps this was real. Maybe this actually was reality and she wasn't dreaming. She loved Seto, yes, but that was out of the question when he, all of a suddenly comes springing out of the ground and gives Serenity a welcoming hello, by scaring her out of her wits.

"Why is he here?" Her voice came out like a squeak.

Seto chuckled at the little girl's voice.

Sakura suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Don't laugh. Nothing's funny about you being here!"

Seto's voice turned into a soft laugh as he tried to control his laughter but it hardly worked.

For once Serenity actually smiled at his laugh. Indeed it had been a long time. She hadn't heard that laugh for so long. . . Not since the funeral.

Funeral?!

The FUNERAL! Seto was there! Well of course he was there, but he was there!

Serenity suddenly stood up. Seto stood as well with a confused expression.

"You were there weren't you?"

Seto stepped back in bewilderment, "I don't know what you are talking about Serenity."

Serenity still gripped Sakura in her arms as she stood. She held onto her daughter with frustration and anger. If she was a teddy bear, everything would be alright, but she wasn't. She was holding onto her daughter pretty hard for her to squirm.

"Serenity, let go of Sakura." Her name seemed to roll off his tongue.

Serenity furrowed her eyebrows, "Wha?"

She looked at the little girl in her arms before letting her go. The child's face was turned a bright red from the lack of oxygen she was getting from her mother's grip. "Sorry Saku."

Sakura choked before she spoke, "It's alright mommy. You know," She turned around to face her mother, "If you really don't like him being here, we can call security. . ." she paused before she smirked.

Seto essentially heard the pause. If she was like him, he defiantly heard the smirk forming on her face slowly.

"We could just call uncle Mokie and tell him to beat him up!" The little girl chuckled like a mad man. But instead of an evil laugh it turned out to be a small giggle that escaped her lips while Serenity grinned down on her.

"I don't think that sounds like a very bad idea." Serenity looked up in time to see Seto's face change to dismay.

"What?! You can't. Serenity please don't."

"Then why are You HERE?!"

The voice echoed off the walls before settling down again. Both of the adults turned to the little girls standing between them.

Sakura huffed before answering; "Well?" she tapped her little foot waiting impatiently for the tall male to answer the girl's question.

"I wanted to see my family ag-"

"DON'T!"

Serenity burst like a balloon. "Don't you dare say family!"

Sakura was taken aback at her mother's outburst. AS well as Seto, being the husband. Normally it was him that had all the anger, which he let out over the phone at any employee that disturbed him or couldn't do their work right. It seemed like he always did everything himself. I guess you could say, "Don't let other people do your work."

"You don't know anything of what I have been through! YOU WEREN'T HERE SO I TOOK OVER! YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO SAY THAT WE ARE A FAMILY AND NEVER WILL!" Serenity pointed a finger at Seto in pure rage and disgust.

Sakura stepped back in shock at her mother. She had never acted this way. Never. If she was yelling at this man, then he must be bad news. But who knows for sure? No one.

Sakura took another step before her eyes became watery. "Mommy, please stop." It had come out as a whisper.

Serenity didn't hear her.

"IF YOU EVER SAY THAT I AM YOUR FAMILY, YOU'RE WRONG SETO! JUST PLAIN WRONG!"

Sakura's tiny lip trembled. Seto noticed the little girl in utter dread. Before he could do anything her eyes had cast in his direction and met his eyes. They showed nothing but pure abhorrence towards him.

But they didn't even know him. They have no idea what he went through the last five years. It was wholesome misery. Misery, being alone. Misery, being with out Serenity. Misery, being with out his family. Misery, with out love.

Seto snapped out of it and sprinted towards his wife. He engulfed her with his arms before she could speak again. He pressed his body into hers and let their body warmth exchange for a moment.

Utterly surprised Serenity tensed and abruptly shut her mouth.

Sakura watched the scene while she held back her tears and stopped trembling. What was this man doing? No one shall hug her mother with out HER permission!

The little girl stomped her foot!

Two adults turned in her direction. "Ahem! What are you doing mister?! That is MY mom that you are hugging!" Her faced scrunched before Seto stepped back but still held Serenity in his arms.

Sakura arched an eyebrow before Seto turned towards Serenity, "Please, just read my journal and after you can decide what to do. You can throw me out or keep me here and help me. Just please read the journal first and then decide."

Not knowing what to do, the auburn woman nodded her head in agreement. "Just don't do anything rash Seto."

He smirked before nodding to her statement.

A light bulb just went off in the blue eyed girl. Her eyes went wide as she watched her mom and . . .

"Daddy?"

Serenity and Seto both turned to the little girl. Seto eyes became watery as he looked down upon her. He let go of Serenity and kneeled before the little girl in one swift moment.

If she has said what he though she said. . .then would that mean. . .?

"What did you call me?" His voice was lost in his own throat. Joy overwhelmed his senses before his daughter could speak.
