Chapter 10. Dawning…
Heya peeps. Thank you again to Twixy and Seto's Nice Girl for their reviews. A big black horse to the both of you!
Mokuba ran out of his room and down the stairs to greet his brother. Serenity followed him at a slower rate and arrived in the foyer to see Mokuba hugging his brother. Kaiba smiled and knelt down to embrace him.
'He does have a heart," she thought, analysing their emotions with her new power, "No matter what Joey says, I can feel it."
Kaiba let go of his brother and told him to go to bed. He obeyed and climbed the stairs again.
"Night Seto, night Serenity!"
"Night Mokuba." The said in unison. They were surprised at this simultaneous response, and Kaiba began searching in his pocket or some money for her. Deliberately not making eye contact with her. He felt like she knew what he was thinking, and he didn't like it.
"Hi Kaiba," she said,
"Hi." Was all the response he gave. He rummaged in his pocket for some money for her,
"C'mon, I'll take you home." he said, and called the limo. The journey was silent, neither one of them talked to the other, and he spent most of his time typing on his laptop.
"How rude," she thought, "he doesn't even speak to me." The journey was a short one however and soon the driver was slowing down as they drove into Serenity's neighbourhood. The limo stopped outside her house, and she got out. "Thanks for the lift Kaiba." She said cheerfully. He nodded I acknowledgement, and she turned around, but her cheerful smile faded, her brother had heard the car pull up, and was now marching down the path practically shouting;
"What's Moneybags' limo doin' 'ere?" Kaiba's eyes narrowed when he saw Joey, and Joey started questioning his sister about what the hell she was doing. "Ren how could you go anywhere with that creep? I thought I told you to stay away from him…" Joey rambled on, while Serenity frantically tried to get him to shut up. "Are you just gonna sit there in ya fancy car then?" he yelled challengingly at Kaiba, who got out of the limo and leaned against it,
"Believe me mutt, if there were no entertainment for me, I wouldn't have stayed."
"WHAT ENTERTAINMENT?"
"The look on your face." Said Kaiba coolly,
"What? You stuck up, snobby, pathetic, rich boy!"
"What did you call me?" Kaiba said in a very low voice, his anger raging.
"How dare you treat me like I'm dirt!" yelled Joey,
"How dare you call me pathetic. You're lower than dirt, Wheeler!" his voice raising by the decibel,
"I'll call you whatever I like! Pathetic!" he shouted,
"No Joey, NO!" said Serenity, shaking his arm, trying to get his attention from Kaiba, but it was no good. Kaiba said nothing, trying to contain his anger, but still he felt the weird strength stir again, Joey continued.
"PATHETIC!" …
WHAM! …
The same force had hit Joey and he, like the demons, was slammed hard against the front door. Joey, unfortunately, didn't take it as well as the demons, and was knocked out cold. Serenity looked at Kaiba in rage herself before running to his side. Kaiba was shocked that this had happened again. It was slowly dawning on him that he had no control. He hated Joey, but he had never meant to possibly kill him. He turned away and got back into his limo, and told the driver, who fortunately had seen nothing, to drive. Leaving Serenity and her unconscious brother at their doorstep.
Ohhh… stay tuned, Chappie 11 is up already.
