Chapter Three

Boston Massacre

Kaiba rose from his bed in the morning and sat up looking outside." Just great," he said looking outside. He watched as small flakes of snow fell from the sky and onto Earth. Kaiba removed himself from the bed and placed his pants and coat on.

He then headed downstairs where he found his breakfast and tea already set out for him. He entered the kitchen and found Serenity sitting at the table eating her breakfast." Hey there sleeply head" she smiled towards him. Kaiba just waved and sat opposite from her.

The first thing he reached for was his tea which he drank quickly. He then watched Serenity pick up her tea kettle and pour more." Can't have you running out of tea" she laughed to Kaiba.

" Yes we certainly don't want that," came the voice of Joey.

Kaiba cocked his head back to see Joey standing there in his coat and scarf ready to head down to the docks." What was that, Colonist," Kaiba spat back.

Joey just grunted at the soldier." I'll see you late tonight sis," he said to Serenity waving bye.

" Bye Joey, please try not to catch a cold" Serenity waved bye. She then heard the front door open and then close. Kaiba smirked and took another sip of his tea.

" You have a weird brother," Kaiba said.

" Yeah at times I think how am I related to him," Serenity laughed at her joke. She then heard Kaiba give out a little snicker.

" Can my ears be deciving me, or did you just laugh" Serenity asked.

" It was you imagination" Kaiba replied returning to his cold self. Serenity just smiled and took away Kaiba's dirty plates. As she did this there came a loud knock.

" Get that would you" Kaiba said leaning back in his chair. Serenity obeyed and went to the door. She opened it and found a man with silver hair in a red uniform standing on her doorstep.

" Excuse me miss, but is Lieutenant Kaiba here," asked the man. Serenity nodded and ushered the man in. When he entered he shook off the snow from his shoulders and followed Serenity to the kitchen. He walked in and saw Kaiba sitting at a small table drinking his third glass of tea.

" Ah Kaiba-boy I finally found you," the man said. Kaiba rose his head at the sound of the voice.

" What is it Pegasus," Kaiba asked.

" Well Kaiba it seems a little mob has appeared out in front of the Governor's mansion today protesting us being here and our king's actions, and the Governor would like us to report to his mansion for more details and for some added protection," Pegasus said sitting down at the table.

Serenity placed cup in front of him and poured him some tea." Why thank you miss," Pegasus thanked Serenity who smiled back.

" I see you have adapted to your surroundings," Pegasus directed to Kaiba.

" Yes it seems I have, so when sould we leave for the Governor's mansion," Kaiba asked. Pegasus sipped his tea down and handed the glass to Serenity.

" Why now of couse and we better hurry, I have a feeling it might get alittle bad" Pegasus replied rasing from his seat. Kaiba did too and walked upstairs to gather his stuff. He soon returned carrying his musket. He then looked over and saw Serenity placing her coat and scarf on.

" Mind if I come" she asked.

" It seems you've already made that decision, just stay beside me" Kaiba said walking past her. The three people then exited the house and headed down the street towards the Governor's mansion.

Boston Docks

Joey lifted the large crate up and placed it onto the counter of the outside vendor." Hey Joey, having a good day" came the voice of a small kid. He stood almost 5'5 with tricolored spiked hair.

" It could be better Yug like for that soldier to quit muchen off me and my sis," Joey replied to the boy.

" Ah hes probaly not that bad," Yugi laughed.

" Try me, the guys as cold as ice and treats everyone like dirt, but for some reason not my sister," Joey said.

" Maybe he likes her," Yugi said.

" No way, theres no way my sister would fall in love with a Red Coat," Joey spat out. Yugi just shrugged at his friends reply and continued restocking shelves.

" Hey did you guys hear, theres a mob down in front of the Goernor's house protesting Britian lets head down there and join them," Joey heard the conversation between three workers. The three men cheered and ran away towards the Governor's mansion.

Joey got a smile on his face and dropped the crate he was carrying." Hey Yug I'am taking a break I'll be back," Joey said running in the same direction as the three men.

" Okay Joey, just don't do anything fooless," Yugi called to his friend.

Governor's Mansion

Serenity stood in awe at the sight of the mansion. The group proceeded towards it. Serenity looked up at a flagpost that hung the British flag. She then turned to see a mob of about fifty to a hundred Boston Colonists a few feet away from armed British soldiers.

They walked up the steps to the mansion and entered. They wiped their feet off of mud and snow. Roland walked up to them and bowed." The Governor wishes to meet you two, the girl will have to wait here" Roland said. Pegasus nodded and followed behind him.

" I'll be back, so don't worry" Kaiba said to calm Serenity. She nodded and watched him ascend the stairs behind Pegasus and Roland. Serenity leaned her back up against a wall and sighed.

" What do we have here" came a voice. Serenity turned to see a black haired boy standing in a doorway. He was roughly around her age and her wore a expensive petiy coat.

" What might be your name sweetheart" he asked Serenity picking up her hand.

" Um, Serenity Wheeler" she replied confused.

" What a lovely name" the boy said kissing her hand.

" I'am Duke Delvilin, the Governor's son" he said smiling his white teeth.

" Nice to meet you Duke" Serenity said smiling.

" Oh its all my pleasure, may I ask why you are here" Duke asked.

" I'am here with Sergeant Pegasus and Lieutenant Kaiba," she answered. Duke frowned.

" Your here with those red coats," he said coldly.

" Yes, one of them lives with me," Serenity said.

" Oh which one," Duke asked.

" This one," came a cold voice. The two turned and spotted Kaiba walking down the stairs. He reached bottom and walked up to the two.

" What may I ask are you doing Devilin," Kaiba asked looking at Duke's hand which held Serenity's.

" Just introducing myself, that is all," he answered. Kaiba grunted and grabbed Serenity's hand from his and led her outside.

" Stay away from her Duke, thats a warning," Kaiba said before leaving. Duke snorted at the red coats comment and walked up the stairs to his room.' I might have found me a new woman' Duke laughed in his head.

Kaiba stood on the steps of the mansion with Serenity. They were waiting for Pegasus to finish talking with Solomon. Kaiba watched the mob and watched them creating snowballs, probaly to throw at the soldiers." Is something wrong Kaiba," Serenity asked.

Kaiba shook his head and turned away. Serenity did too and watched the mob. She then spotted a fimilar blond haired boy.'' Is that Joey," Serenity said. Serenity smiled and rose her hand to wave at her brother. There then came a sound of musket fire and she was pushed to the ground.

She looked up to see Kaiba on top of her, his body acting as a shield. The firing was soon over and Kaiba rose to look at the mob. He scanned and found they had run away, but he then spotted five bodies on the ground with blood spilling out of them.

" What has happened," Kaiba yelled out to the soldiers.

" I'am sorry sir, snowballs started hitting us and they had rocks in them and we thought we were being attacked so we opened fired," a young soldier cried. Serenity rose from her spot and her eyes grew wide. She looked over and saw Joey's body on the ground with a puddle of crimsion red under him.

She ran to him and turned his body over." Joey, Joey please answer me," Serenity yelled to her brother. Joey didn't open his eyes and Serenity couldn't hear any breathing. Tears began to sting at her eyes and then they fell like a waterfall.

" Joey please don't leave me," Serenity cried. Kaiba looked over at her and lowered her head. He already knew her brother was dead, but she refused to give up. Serenity watched Joey's motionless body and more tears began to fall.

She quickly got up and ran away from the scene before her. Kaiba watche this and chased after her. He caught up with her halfway down their street and grabbed her." No let me go, please leave me alone," she screamed.

Kaiba ignored her pleas and wrapped his arms around her. She kicked him and scratched at his arms to let her go, but her wouldn't." Serenity stop," Kaiba yelled.

She stopped and looked up at the British soldier with tears in her eyes and her face red from crying. She then buried her face in Kaiba's chest and cried even harder." Why, why did it have to be Joey," she cried.

" It sould have been me," Serenity said. Kaiba hugged th young girl harder trying to stop her tears. For some reason he didn't like her like this." Serenity I'am sorry," Kaiba said. Serenity looked up at him and slapped him across the face.

" Your sorry, you don't know what I'am going through you dirty Red Coat," Serenity yelled. Kaiba stood there stunned, he had been called red coat so many times, but being called it by Serenity seemed to hurt him.

Kaiba lowered his head and turned away from her." Your right, I don't know, but I only wish to help," Kaiba said walking away. Serenity looked up and realized what she had done was wrong.

" Wait Kaiba I'am sorry," she called. Kaiba stopped and turned to face her. He opened his arms and Serenity ran to him. She retreated into his arms and he held her.

" We're get through this, remember I'am your protector," Kaiba said. The two stayed there for a couple minutes time stopping around them. Slow flakes of snow fell and surrounded the two.
