Housing the Enemy

Chapter one

New Roomate

It was nearing December in the port town of Boston and everyone placed their jackets and coats on to keep them warm. Down a graveled street laid a small house crammed in between two houses. Inside sat a young arburn haired girl in a brown dress. He dress was alittle ripped at the bottom and her white apron in front of it was messy from morning breakfast.

She sat on her small ragged English sofa working her hands around her knitting. She then heard a noise come down the stairs and looked up at a blond haired boy." Well sis, how do I look" he asked showing his ragged clothes underneath his coat. The young girl rose from her knitting and approached her brother.

She straightened the scarf around his neck." Now you look good brother" she answered smiling." Thanks Serenity, now I'll be worken overtime tonight and won't be home untill morning that way we can pay the King's stupid taxes" the boy said." Shh, Joey you know you shouldn't curse his higness" Serenity said trying to calm her brother down.

" Well it isn't fair, No Taxation Without Representation" Joey yelled through the house." Joey we must work by with what we can, so that means that you must respect his higness's decsions" Serenity said smiling." Yeah your right, how come I can't be more like you sis" Joey said laughing.

" Because I got must of our mother's genes" Serenity joined in laughing. She then hushed Joey out of their small house in fright that he would be late and lose another job.

" Bye sis, remember to lock up before you go to bed" Joey said walking down the street. Serenity waved goodbye and closed the door. She walked into their small kitchen set with a icebox, table, chairs, and a stove. Serenity opened the icebox and inspected it.

" Low on food, better head to the market and get some more" Serenity said. She grabbed her small brown coat and placed it on with her white scarf. She slid her apron off and reached for her gloves and carrying basket. She exited her small house and proceeded down the street to the local marketplace.

Governor's House

A tall man in a red suit with long silver hair sat in the governor's office his arms crossed over eachother and his mouth in a smirk." So there you have it Governor, our King would see it fit that Boston goes first" the man said smirking even more." Yes I know, but why must we house your soldiers, Pegasus" the Governor asked.

Pegasus sighed," Solomon my boy, how many times have I've gone over this" Pegasus said looking at the old man across from him who didn't even budge." Oh alright, its simple so clean out your ear and listen, my men have no where to stay while stationed here , so where better but in your citizen's houses" Pegasus said.

" Yes, but why my citizen's " Solomon asked." Oh come on you old fool I don't have to waste my time explaining this to you, its simple our King rules you and you listen and obey his laws and orders" Pegasus said rising from his seat.

" So get word out to your citizen's. my men will be moving in by late afternoon today" Pegasus said reaching the door." But that ins't enough time to prepare" Solomon said." Not my problem" Pegasus laughed.

Pegasus exited the room and Solomon sighed. He turned to his assisstant standing next to him." Roland start taking and distrubting the British soldiers to households" Solomon said sighing. A green haired man in a black suit bowed." Yes at once Govneror" he said and exited behind Pegasus.

Outiside the office and down the stairs stood a British soldier with short chesnut hair. He wore the regular red uniform that all the British soldiers wore. He stood at the bottom of the stairs twiling his musket in his gloved hands. His blue eyes scanned the room and met the eyes of a house maid.

The soldier smiled and evil smile and made the maid quiver in fear and leave the room, which had dropped a few dergrees ever since he entered. He then moved his eyes to a tall blond man in a grey and yellow unifom. That was a signal saying the man was a Hessian or German mercenary

The soldier then heard the sound of boots coming down the stairs and turned to see his commanding officer Maximillion Pegasus walking down." How'd it go" asked the Hessian." Everything has gone as the King intended it to, you two need to sound up the soldiers, you will be moving in tonight" Pegasus said.

" Great leaving with these idiotic Colonists" came a cold voice." Your have to get used to them, by the looks of things we might be here for some time, alright Kaiba" Pegasus said eyeing the brown haired soldier. The soldier just grunted and picked up his musket.

" Come on Rapheal" Kaiba said to the blond haired man. Rapheal nodded and grabbed his musket and followed." Something troubling you Lieutenant" asked Rapheal." Yeah, that I have to live with some stupid Colonist that should have never left England" Kaiba spat out letting a few Colonist's nearby hear him.

They eyed him a bit, but turned away quickly when Kaiba's blue eyes locked on them. He grunted and continued down the street to where he would get the info to where he would be logging.

Marketplace

Serenity walked through the crowded marketplace with her basket full of purchased items." Joey will just love all the food I bought him" Serenity laughed. As she exited the marketplace she was rammed into by a tall man in a red uniform." Watch where your going" he said coldly." I'am sorry sir it won't happen again" she apologized reconizing at once the man was a British soldier.

" It better no happen again, Colonist" he said spitting the last word out coldly. He walked past her and was soon followed by a huge blond man in grey. She watched them leave and continued on home.

Kaiba strolled through the crowd of people easily since they did move out of his way. He then felt a small person ram into him. He looked down to see a aubrun haired girl in almost rags carrying a basket." Watch where you going" he spat. The young girl bowed her head." I'am sorry sir it won't happen again" she said apologizing.

Kaiba grunted," It better not happen again, Colonist" he spat out. He then walking past her with Rapheal behind him. They soon arrived at the town square where several other soldiers stood waiting for there location of where they would be staying." Seto Kaiba" came voice of the assignment director.

Kaiba rasied his hand." You sir will be staying with the Wheeler's" the man said handing Kaiba a piece of paper with directions on it. Kaiba quickly read it and walked away carrying his musket.' Time to pay the Wheeler's a visit' Kaiba thought.

Wheeler Residence

Serenity stood infront of her stove trying to prepare her some dinner when she heard a knock at the door." Who could that be, Joey said he wouldn't be home till morning" She said. She wiped her hands off and walked to the door and opened it.

Outside stood the same man from the marketplace that she had bumbed into." May I help you sir" she asked almost in a whisper." If you are Wheeler than yes you can" he said. Serenity nodded her head," I'am Serenity Wheeler" she stated.

Kaiba smirked and pushed past Serenity and into the house. He walked past her and she quickly looked back in forth. She closed the door and ran up behind the soldier." Sir may I ask why you have entered my house uninvited" she asked. Kaiba reached into his coat and withdrew a slip of paper which he handed to Serenity.

" Oh but I was invited" he smirked. Serenity looked at him and read the paper." From King George III, Quatering Act of 1773 states that every house shall house a British soldier and will obey his every command" Serenity read and then looked up." See I was invited to stay here" Kaiba said.

He laid his musket down and his packs of provisions. He slowly inspected the room and got a look of disgust on his face."Not rich are you" he asked bluntly. She lowered her head," We make by with what we earn" she said walking past Kaiba.

She then turned back to him," May I ask your name" she said. Kaiba eyed the girl," My name is Seto Kaiba, but you will only call me Kaiba understand" he said coldly. Serenity nodded and smiled.

" Oh and another few rules, I get the bed in this house, I expect breakfast, lunch, and dinner to be readied for me and some tea near noon" Kaiba said. Serenity slowly computed everything the man said and then relized something." But sir we only have two beds" she stated." Then I'll take yours, you can sleep on the floor for all I care" Kaiba spat.

Serenity nodded and walked away into the kitchen. Kaiba smirked, this young girl would be fun to play with. Kaiba then grabbed his stuff and headed upstairs to claim his new room.
