I just kissed Seto Kaiba. And made it look like I meant it! Why did I do that? I hate the guy! Look what he did to poor Joey! That wasn't his fault mind you but still! And now I'm lying on my bed with my face in my pillow. Oh great and now I'm suffocating! Oh well done Serenity you sure have put your foot in it! You're going to die from lack of oxygen all because you kissed Kaiba… I suppose it's reasonable punishment… This is my life! Or death, as it may seem… AHHH!
"Why are you angry?" said Kisara innocently. Ha, now I have someone else to blame!
"What do you think?" I asked her despairingly, "I just kissed Kaiba!"
"I know, I set you up."
"Oh thanks." I said sarcastically. Oh now I'm beginning to sound like him too! This is so not good. "Why did you do that?"
"As I said, I couldn't resist, besides, you're no worse off are you?"
"Er, Hello? My life is in turmoil!"
"And I'll bet his is too."
"That's even worse! You must have known I didn't like him!"
"It didn't look like that when you were at the Halliwell Manor."
"Well, I didn't okay?"
"You defended him before. Why not now? I'll tell you why; it's because you are worried that if you end up falling in love with him then your brother will be angry, and if you love them both you'll have to choose between them."
"What! That's ridiculous!"
"Is it? I'm an empath too you know, I know exactly what you're feeling."
I paused for a moment. When I had looked into his deep blue eyes, I hadn't pushed him away, or slapped him. Had I wanted to kiss him? I acted like I was madly in love with him… NO! Don't even go there! I know I'm sensible enough not to kiss anyone I don't want to kiss, so why? Did I feel something? Did he feel something? This was all too confusing. I threw my head into my pillow again and bashed it several times against the soft linen, until I gave myself a headache. Oh great! I didn't think my life could possibly get any worse. How wrong I was…
KAIBA'S POV…
What the hell happened? Why? Why? Why! Why did I do that? It was like I had no control. What's that? The High Priest is snickering again. He's really starting to annoy me, although something told me that that was the whole idea.
"What now?" I asked him impatiently.
"You really are my reincarnation. Now I see how pitiful I must have seemed, however you are a tough act to beat, hikari."
"What?" I questioned him again. My anger was rising again, but since regaining my memory I seem to have more control over it, probably because I'll blow something up if I loose it.
"Been there and done it." He said, tapping the side of his nose smugly. God he really is like me… "As I said, your destinies are entwined. You will fall for her, whether you want to or not."
"Ha! I don't think so!" I said in a tone several times lower than normal, "How stupid do you think I am? Magic is okay but that is crossing the line!"
"Funnily enough, that's exactly what I said." He said, "You seemed to be absolutely fine with her in the limo, in fact, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you were rather enjoying it."
"SETH! THAT WAS YOU, NOT ME!"
"Technically it was you."
"But ACTUALLY it was you!" I yelled. I heard him mutter "damn" to himself. I smirked to myself at having beaten him.
"Apart from Priest Akunadin, I've never come across something I truly detest. If I didn't know before, I think I've just discovered it."
"What do you truly detest then Seth?" I said sarcastically,
"Arguing with someone who is as intelligent as myself." He said. Ha! I love being clever! I put my hand to my ear;
"Sorry Seth, didn't quite catch that," I said triumphantly.
"Shut up." He snapped, "Anyway, you still kissed her of your own accord, because the second time I wasn't dominant."
I decided to think my answer through before replying, but I managed too get lost in my thoughts. Why had I done that? I didn't let go of her, it was like I was paralysed from the neck down. When it happened the second time, I felt something I never felt for anybody except Mokuba, but this was different, not a brotherly love, something that made my heart skip several beats at a time. Something that had almost sent me writhing in bliss. What the hell am I saying? Oh good, Seth's stopped talking to me, and has presumably retired to some place in the back of my mind where I can't hear him snickering. The further the better! I'm not gonna think about this anymore, I have too much work to do.
Meanwhile, in the Underworld…
(Normal POV)…
"It won't work Taihe, they're the Charmed Ones."
"Yes, they are the Charmed Ones, but everyone has a weakness, including them."
"They will vanquish us all!"
"Not this time." Said the demon, picking up a black potion she had just brewed. "This is a modified replica of the potion that led to the vanquish of Melinda Warren all those years ago. It is a binding potion, which will temporarily bind their powers, long enough for us to kill them."
"How do you propose we get them down here?" said the minion doubtfully,
"We use bait, as always. They will think it's a normal attack."
"Who's the bait?"
"Someone they don't know very well, but well enough to make them try and make a rescue. You see, if we were to kidnap the baby, for instance. The emotions provoked will be too powerful, and then we would be killed. That is where we have been going wrong. We need someone who won't provoke the emotions that trigger their powers."
"Let's run through this again. We'll take this person hostage, wait for them to attempt a rescue, throw the potion, kill them, kill the hostage."
"Yes."
"So who is the hostage?" Taihe chuckled evilly at the thought of being 'the-one-who-killed-the-Charmed-Ones'. She looked at her minion and said definitely;
"Serenity Wheeler."
