Chapter 4
It started to rain, you could hear the pitter patter of the rain hitting the ground. As a child, serenity had always been afraid of thunder. Even today, her phobia never went away.
"Serenity, what are you doing crouching on the floor like that?" asked Kaiba. "No-o-o nothing." Serenity stuttered.
Kaiba could clearly see serenity was afraid. "You're not AFRAID of a little bit of thunder are you?" mocked Kaiba.
A lightning bolt hit the outside of the cave they were in. "ahhh!" screamed serenity. Serenity began to crouch even deeper. "Oh my god it's just thunder, pathetic." hissed Kaiba.
Serenity crouched deeper and deeper with her hands covering her ears; she started to rock back and forth. Kaiba could see she was truly afraid.
He leaned down next to her. "You know its all right to be afraid...just don't let it get to you." said Kaiba.
Kaiba felt a bit of sympathy for her, he remembered when he was a child. He was not afraid of anything but a bit of thunder would scare the crap out of him.
Annoyed with Serenity's wavering he put her in his arms. Serenity was shivering and a teardrop fell on his now ragged shirt. Kaiba held her tight until she stopped shivering and fell asleep.
Sitting there with a warm weight on his legs, knowing his brother was safe and the calming pattering of the rain, he felt a sense of tranquility as he never felt before. For the first time in a long time, he had time to think, to feel, to understand.
Kaiba shifted and could see serenity's face clearly in the moonlight. She really was beautiful.
You could see the innocence and the purity of herself in her face. Kaiba knew she never felt the back of a strap on her back or having to fight for survival.
He could now understand everything he has done and is still doing; the long hours at work, minimal amount of sleep, constant worrying was both physically and mentally draining him.
He wondered how it was like to have no worries, no cares, even just for a few days.
