Chapter 11- Kaibaland

-Saturday-

-Serenity-

My alarm clock screamed and it woke me up at around 7:30 in the morning. I got out of my bed and stretched, still feeling very groggy. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. Stripping down to nothing, I touched my legs and felt small curls of hair. Great! I have to shave them. More time to myself I guess. I looked at my underarms and found that I had to shave those, too. Well at least I'll feel a lot better and smoother. I opened my pink shower curtain, turned on the water and waited for about five minutes for the water to turn lukewarm.

Putting my hand in the shower, I felt that it was just cool, not cold. I decided to jump in and close the curtain. Then, I poured a little shampoo & conditioner on my pale hand and dig my nails into head. I gently massage my head as the shampoo & conditioner's scent filled my nose, fresh strawberries. I then rinsed the shampoo in my hair away, took a white scrub and poured some body wash on it. After I lathered the scrub, I began washing my petit body.

While I was washing my upper arm, I noticed that the bruise Seto created disappeared. I poked it just incase my eyes weren't fooling me, but felt no pain. I smiled and continued to wash my body.

After rinsing and shaving, I put on my black one-piece bathing suit. There might be a water park added to the Kaibaland feature. After all that was done, I threw on a pair of shorts that were about four inches above my knees and a magenta T-shirt. After that I put on my pink sandals and then, of course, my fake brown contacts and black frames on. Then I looked in the mirror and gasped. My hair was in a bun and turning into its natural color! I didn't have any dye left but at least you could still see some blonde. It looked like I had blonde highlights.

I took a baby blue backpack and threw in a towel, an extra pair of shorts and tee, sun block and a package of gummi bears. I put my key and money in the small pocket and zipped it up. However, I blamed it on Mokuba for his sweetness and candy. But then again, who could stay mad at him? Mokuba is the sweetest kid I have ever met! I giggled at the thought and looked at window. The limo pulled up by the sidewalk and I quickly ran out of my room. I slammed the door closed and slid down the rail. It was something I didn't do often and shouldn't have, but at least it was a fast and fun way of getting downstairs.

I opened the door and there stood Seto in his usual clothing. Black slacks, black shoes, but I noticed that they were Converse (1), and black shirt and his battle city trench coat. Good looking as usual! I smiled at him and he smiled back at me for some strange reason.

"Let me get that for you," he asked kindly as I handed my backpack to him.

Kindly? When did he decide to go nice on me? Okay, now I'm officially scared!

I then closed the front door and locked it. He waited for me and we walked to the limo together. It felt really awkward because he never acts like this! It really wasn't the Seto Kaiba personality that I know!

I shook the thought away and got into the limo. Then limo driver drove off to Kaibaland.

We arrived at Kaibaland at 9:00 and it was packed! People were waiting for the entry doors to open. The line went from sidewalk to the huge parking lot. Mokuba was there with a girl around his age. I guess that was Rebecca. Her blonde hair was into two pigtails, tied with aqua bows and she was also, wearing glasses. She looked so adorable! But I couldn't tell what she was wearing because many people were blocking my view.

Seto was in front of the park with his brother and said a quick but meaningful speech. Then Mokuba held up a big pair of red scissors and cut the blue ribbon. Kaibaland was officially open. I was in line by myself, waiting for Seto. I thought that maybe he forgot about me. Then I felt a soft but firm hand touch mine and turned to see Seto. He gently pulled me towards him and I quietly followed behind. We went to a strange metal door and he put his hand on a panel with numbers.

"It's a secret entrance," he stated and pushed a bunch a numbers on it.

The sliding door opened and we were now inside Kaibaland. I looked around and saw so many rides on the east side a water park on the west. To the north were games, shops, and a food court while on the south side were the little kids attractions. I smiled at Seto and he smiled back.

He's smiling at me! Oh Kami! I'm very scared now.

"You okay?" he asked me as if he was concerned.

"Huh? Oh yeah… sorry, I was just… distracted," I answered and gave him a small smile.

-Seto-

Why am I being nice to her? I think I DO have a crush on her. I kept thinking about her all last night and figured out that I'm falling in love. I have never met a girl like her. A lot of the girls at school just want my money. Serenity is just different! She has a great personality and I wouldn't mind if she was my girlfriend, but then again, this is just a bet. She's the ugliest girl in the school! But even when I said things like that to her, being as cold and rude as normal, she would always smile and be nice to me! However, I can and will never forgive myself for what happened a few days ago. I can't believe I hurt her! But I wonder how her bruise is.

"Duckling?" I asked her as kindly as I could.

"Yes?" she repliedwith a smile on her face.

"How's your bruise?" I asked her nicely as she still kept on smiling.

"Oh… it went away, see," she said politely and picked up her right sleeve.

Her arm was back to its original beautiful skin color. I nodded and she put her sleeve back down.

I looked down, feeling ashamed."You know… I can never forgive myself for-,"

I felt her hand pushing my head up as gently as she could

"Don't worry about. I told you I forgive you." she said. "Now, c'mon Seto! Let's have some fun!" Shehappily smiled, as I stood there with my mouth hanging open.

She giggled and I quickly closed my mouth. We thenwalked together to a ride, side-by-side.

-Serenity-

It was around 1:00 when Seto and I were bought our lunches. I told him that I wanted to pay my own, but he kept insisting. It's weird because now he would look away from me, not the other way around! I wondered why because he was still freaking me out. The end of the world has really come! Kami! Please save us from this madness! Seto Kaiba is actually acting NICE!

We sat underneath a beautiful Sakura tree. I was still in deep thought of why he was acting so nice to me but then took out my sandwich and bit into it. I chewed slowly, and thought deeply.

"Did you like any of the rides?" he asked me as he took a bite from his sandwich.

"Yeah. I enjoyed the Blue Eyes White Dragon one but I thought that it was too long. I mean, it took five minutes? Usually roller coasters take about thirty seconds or maybe even a minute! But, 5 minutes!" I said to him politely taking a piece from my sandwich.

He glared at meand chewed slowly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize, I just…" I started to say nicely but he interrupted me again.

"I know what you mean. The ride is too long. What if I break the ride in half, and make another a roller coaster out of it?" he said taking drink from his soda.

I smiled and said, "Perfect!"

All the rides were name after the Duel Monsters. He decided he didn't want all dragon names, but he thought of his rival, Yugi and his Dark Magician. Since Seto was beaten by him, Yugi was the only person that Seto respected, but he never showed it. The kids' attraction had very cute and small rides named Petit Dragon, and Petit Angel.

"So, if you do decide to cut the ride in half, what would you call it?" I asked him kindly taking a sip of my soda.

"I'm not sure. I need to talk to the Vice-President of Kaibacorp and see what he wants," he added and I swallowed my food and went into deep thought.

"The Vice-President is Mokuba, if you're wondering," he added seriously as I nodded.

"What do you want to do after this?" he asked as he took another sandwich and bit into it.

"How about we play the games?" I asked happily as he nodded.

"I would love to see how good you are in my games," he said, smirking evilly.

I blinked and looked at him.

"Is that a challenge," I asked crossing my arms.

"Yes. I challenge you to a… uh… I can't say duel, but how about darts?" he asked and ran his hand through his hair.

"I accept your challenge, Seto Kaiba!" I said and held my hand.

He took it and we shook.

"Prepare to lose!" He said, smirking again.

-Seto-

Serenity and I were really good when it came to darts. Her aim was perfect. She won and got a Blue Eyes White Dragon stuffed animal. I also won and got a Blue Eyes White Dragon, but I gave it to a little kid. Serenity thought it was sweet of me to do so, but I kind of snapped at her. However, I did apologize for my actions and she forgave me. I was acting really weird today. I haven't felt like this since Mokuba and I were at the orphanage. People are staring at me now. They have never seen THE Seto Kaiba have fun and play childish games. They all know the cold hearted jerky CEO. Serenity really is melting my icy heart.

Then Serenity and I then played a bow and arrow game and she decided to get a Petit Dragon. I played the Hit all three bottles and I won that and received the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon plushie. Serenity didn't. She only got one bottle on the floor. I turned around and saw Duke and Tristan heading our way.

"Hey… Moneybags, shouldn't you be on business?" Duke asked and laughed.

"What's it to you?" I snapped back and saw Serenity stand right behind me.

"Huh? Who's this?" Duke said as Serenity gave him and a mean look.

"You must be Serenity. I've heard so much about you," Duke said smirking at her.

She lowered her head and I could see that she felt sad.

"Hey, Serenity. You're invited to my party tonight," he said to the blond haired girl and walked away.

"I'll be there," she said smoothly and then went to a game.

What! She's going to his party!

"Cool!" he yelled and then disappeared with Tristan.

I walked to Serenity as she received her prize.

"Are you really going?" I asked her in concern.

"Of course not! Why should I go? There are only going to be the preppy, jocks, and most popular kids there. Plus, I have to study for the finals," she said truthfully and nodded my head.

"Oh you don't have to study. I mean, you're smart enough and will pass with no problem! And I wouldn't mind going with you," I told her nicely and she tiled her head and smiled.

"Thanks, but I'm still not going. What time is it?" she asked.

"5 o'clock," I said showing her my watch.

"It's getting late. I have to go," she said and gave me a smile.

"Alright," I told her nicely and picked up my cell phone.

We arrived at her place and I helped her with her plushies. She thanked me and smiled.

"I had a lot of fun with you today. We should go out more often!" she said happily.

"Are you saying that we're friends?" I asked her and smirked a bit.

"I… uh… I'm not sure. Are we?" she asked me.

"It's up to you," I said to her with a shrug as she gave me a sad smile.

"I consider you asmy friend," she said to me nicely.

She then gave me a small kiss on the cheek and ran into her apartment. I was surprised by this action. Maybe she does like me. But it could also be that she was grateful for taking me to Kaibaland. I'm still confused about that girl. She tells me not to fall in love with her but then she acts like she likes me! The driver then took off and I picked up my cell phone. There was only person who knew beauty and fashion in our high school, and that person is Mai Valentine.

-Serenity-

What has gotten in to me? I can't believe I just kissed Seto Kaiba! I really am falling for him! Kami! If Joey found out, he'll definitely kill me! Does Seto even KNOW that I'm related to Joey? He has never asked for my last name. After I finish studying I really have to go get some hair dye.

Why was Seto being so nice to me? I still haven't figured that out! A part of me wants him to go back to being cold. But then the other likes the new, happy Seto…Oh I'm so confused!

Whoa! I like to thank ShaniChan11 again! I apologize if there is any grammar. I hoped you enjoyed reading this chapter, and I know ya'll just can't wait read the next chapter! Hopefully I have Chapter 12 this week.

Ki Wingz

Here are a few snippets of Chapter 12- Swan

"What's in it for me?" Mai asked over the phone.

"Money," I answered her, persuading her to help.

"No way! I don't want your money," she said as I pulled the phone away from my ear.

"You know, you are the second person to tell me," I told her coldly.

"On really? Then who was the first?" she asked as I could see her smirking.

>

"Serenity! It's nice to meet you. My name is Mai Valentine," she squealed happily to me as I put her a fake smile on.

"Nice to meet you, too," I told her as she extended her hand as I extended mine and shook it.

>

"Is that your natural hair color?" she asked pointing to it.

"No, it's dyed. My natural hair color is Auburn," I said quietly and looked away.

"I see. I have an idea. Oh yeah… Honey, have your tried wearing contacts?" she asked taking my frames off.

"M-my glass-es are fa- fake," I said in shaky voice.

"I see, I suppose your eyes are natural brown," she happily as she put my frames on the furniture.

"No, these are fake contacts, also" I told her, as I tookthem out.

"Huh? Honey, I'm confused," she said as she gave the case to put them in.

"I hidden my natural self," I told her as I opened the case and put them in and closed it.

"Why? I bet you are really pretty. Let's go in the bathroom and take the dye off," she said happily as she took my wrist and pulled me into my bathroom.

>

"Sweety! You look beautiful. Here, just put some lip-gloss on that way your lips won't get chap. You don't need any make-up. You are so beautiful. I'm jealous," she said handing me a brand new lip-gloss.

"Thank you Mai," I said happily taking it from her.

I looked at my mirror and was in shocked!

>

I slowly walked downstairs and was scared. There stood my dad and Seto. I took a deep breath and walked down slowly. I saw Seto's expression and his mouth dropped. I was still in shock from what I have been transformed into. But will he still call me duckling?
