'Where is she?' Serenity thought while trying not to look obvious to Richard.
"What is it honey bear?" He said leaning over her, pressing her into the wall.
"N-Nothing, why would anything be wrong?" She stuttered out the sentence and smiled nervously. "Hey Richard I have to use the bathroom, can I go?"
He looked at her for a minute and then nodded and she left.
(Serenity's POV)
Now where to look first? She said walking up the front of the room.
"Like did you see that girl? How Mr. Kaiba stuck up for her?" The blonde flight attendant asked the brunette with her. "Yeah it was so dreamy!"
'I wonder.' I approached the door to first class If she was in there every everything I had worked for would have been for nothing but if she wasn't I would have come face to face with a member of the family I had lied to every one to hide.
But if I didn't go in there and she was in there she could have learned who her father is all the wealth she could have inherited and hate me for it.
I sighed and approached the door carefully as if I was afraid it would bite, but if Seto Kaiba was on the other side I didn't doubt it would.
(First Class)
"Whoa-whoa wait what?" Konic said looking from brother to brother then back again. "Let me get this straight. You-" she pointed to Kaiba "and my mom were friends right? And she left to find something better than what was in your hometown and you haven't heard from her since?"
They both nodded and Mokuba grinned. "You haven't introduced yourself yet big bro, she deservers too know more than 'you'." He pointed out with a wicked grin.
"My name is Seto Kaiba." He said holding out his hand.
"I don't touch strangers." She said slightly glaring at the hand.
He smirked at that. "You know my name and I don't know yours and your calling ME the stranger?" He raised an eyebrow.
"My name is Konic Wheeler." She said still looking at the hand.
"Well Konic Wheeler I'll have you know it is extremely rude to not shake someone's hand when it is offered it is also very disrespectful." He watched her glare settle a little and offered his hand one more time.
"Okay I guess it is rather rude." She sighed and shook his hand. His grip was strong and firm.
"Will all passengers please take your seats, we will be arriving in Las Angeles soon."
"Well I better get back to my mom." Konic stood and started walking back to coach.
(Outside)
"Konic!" Serenity who had been about to enter First Class froze as she watched her daughter leave first class. "Hey Mom, what's going on?" she said raising both eye brows at her then glared as Richard appeared behind her.
"Dear the bathroom will have to wait, which is that way by the way." He pointed to the back of the plane narrowing his eyes.
"I just got lost, I'm sorry." Serenity whimpered glancing at Konic, who was glaring intensely at Richard.
"Uh huh, sure you were." He lowered to her ear "You'll pay later, I'll MAKE you sorry."
Serenity shivered as he moved back to his seat.
"Who were you talking to in there?" She asked turning to Konic. "Why the Hell would you care?" She spat moving toward her seat as well.
"Konic what's gotten into you?" Konic glared up at her mother unbelievably coldly. So cold Serenity shivered and could swear the temperature dropped several degrees.
"Excuse me will you ladies kindly take you seats while we land?" The blonde attendant said walking up to them cautiously as if afraid Konic would yell at her too.
They both looked/glared at each other before taking their seats and landing.
(At the airport)
Konic glared at her family as they picked up their luggage while still keeping an eye out for the Kaiba brothers. 'They have to know who my father is because according the Seto she would have had to of been at least three weeks along before she left. And I know I can't ask her, damn.'
"Konic?" Konic turned to find Serenity looking at her regrettably. "Konic we need to talk."
"About what Serenity? 'Cause last I checked you only wanted to lie to me."
"What, I never lied to you!"
"Ha! You're doing it right now! But y'know what mother I'm willing to forgive you I really am just tell me who my real father is!" Serenity gasped and looked into anger and hate filled stormy blue eyes.
Everyone even her father himself to watched the exchange with deadly silence for they all knew it was far from over. "You know your real father and his name is Richard Felder!"
"LIES! You're doing it again mother, why can't you just tell the truth! Besides I don't need your help I know who my father is, I just wanted to her it from you!" Konic was bluffing but when she saw the sheer fear that ran through her mother's eyes and the whisper of "So you did find him."
Then she knew after all these years she finally knew. Mokuba was too young to be her father so that only left one logical person…
"That's quite enough for today ladies!" Richard spoke at last "By the way I call your bluff sweetie." Seto's eye twitched as has Richard put his arm around Serenity causing her to flinch and for her shirt to fall just enough to make out a huge bruise on her neck.
"Mokuba, I want Serenity and Konic both upgraded to first class." He whispered. "Just them, Seto?"
"Yes I want them as far away from him as I can get them." He turned and headed toward the plane."
"Ms. Wheeler it appears as if you and her daughter have both been upgraded to first class." The attendant at the front desk said looking at the computer,
"I want them in coach with me." Richard said trying to intimidate the younger man.
"I'm sorry sir I have to follow orders and-"
"Flight 594 Last call I repeat Flight 594 last boarding call."
"You have a plane to catch." Richard scowled but nodded allowing the two of them to board the plane.
The two women entered first class and found the only two seats available were in front of the very source of their argument. "I'm going to the restroom, mother." Konic said coldly throwing her bag in the window seat and stalking of.
(Serenity's POV)
I froze as my eyes made contact with Seto Kaiba's. I was in a trance like state merely watching has he rose from his seat and took Konic's bag to put it up top in fact it wasn't until he grabbed mine and whispered "I hope you don't mind the up grade." That I found I could breath again though it didn't matter. For as soon has his hand grazed mine I couldn't breath, I couldn't do anything but shudder, my stomach was in knots and I was thinking so fast I couldn't make a coherent thought even if I wanted too.
Not that it mattered for at that moment I remembered every second spent with him from the ball-like parties, to all the caresses and what it felt like to be held by him, but the moment was pushed quickly away by the betrayal and anger that almost brought the fiery spirit inside me back…almost.
"What did you tell her."
(Seto's POV)
I almost didn't recognize the demanding raspy voice that even in its current state set every nerve in my body on fire.
"Excuse me; I don't know what you're talking about." I smirked.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. What did you tell our daughter?" I looked into her eyes and saw dull light brown looking back, which wiped away my smirk.
"Well I didn't tell her that if that's what you mean."
"Then how do you explain her finding out." The child in question appeared behind her mother with wide ocean eyes; my ocean eyes. Her hair cut short no doubt to stop someone from pulling it. Her knuckles were callused over saying she was a fighter.
This child was mine there was no denying it now.
"Why don't you ask her?"
