Serenity Wheeler is what people call a good girl. She does what she is told, especially if Joey is the one telling her to do something. Yami Mouto is the school rebel with a slight temper, especially if that temper involves protecting his friends. What happens when these two complete opposites meet, and then are introduced later on? How will they affect each other in the end?

Chapter Six: Changes

I DON'T OWN YGO! If I did do you really think I would writing on fanfic? I should say not! I would be writing in my Kame Shop… thank you very much!

Serenity looks over at the clock as she pulls on a solid white hoodie. She tucks a few things into a worn bookbag before pulling her hair into a messy bun. She picks up her tennis shoes and silently opens her bedroom door. She breathes a sigh of relief before softly walking toward the front door. She slides on her shoes and grins before pulling her hood over her head and putting on some oversized black sunglasses. Serenity closes the door gently and waits a second before jogging down the steps. She reaches the street and begins jogging toward the beach with a soft smile on her face.

Yami opens his half of the mind link to find Yugi is sleeping peacefully. He shakes off the momentary feeling of guilt before pulling on a pair of slightly baggy jeans and a crimson hoodie. He takes a moment to fix his hair before packing his bookbag with his duel disk and duel deck. He throws in his house keys and wallet before picking up his vans. He sneaks down the stairs and calmly strolls out the front door, using his shadow magic to cover any sounds he makes. Yami slips his motorcycle into neutral and pushes it halfway down the street. He jumps on it before cranking it and driving toward the beach.


Serenity glances behind her before lowering her hood and dropping her things down. She tilts her face toward the sun and sighs softly. The gentle wind tugs at her hair causing a few strands to fall down around her face. She leans back against the tree and soon she falls asleep. Yami walks toward the tree and is pleased to see a small figure leaning against the tree. He smiles as he realizes Serenity is sleeping. Yami softly calls her name and Serenity opens her eyes. A slow smile curves her lips and she motions for Yami to sit beside her.

Serenity looks over at Yami, her nerves painfully clear in her voice. "You came."

Yami nods, not pleased to be nervous. "I did. You're here."

Serenity nods before slipping off her sunglasses. "I am. Yami…"

Yami looks into her eyes and moves closer to Serenity. "Shhh."

Serenity nervously bits on her lower lip and is shocked when Yami pulls her close to him. She smiles into his hoodie as she relaxes. She shyly slips her arm across his stomach and is rewarded with a gentle squeeze. Yami gently kisses her temple and the two spend the next hour sitting that way. An hour later Serenity finally gathers her courage and she kisses Yami on the cheek.

His eyes become guarded once more as he looks at her. "Are we going to be a secret?"

Serenity smirks before her eyes show her fear. "Is that what you want?"

Yami shakes his head before helping her to her feet. "I'm not sure."

Serenity takes a step back. "What do you mean you are not sure?"

Yami crosses his arms. "Are you not worried about people may say?"

Serenity gives a sarcastic laugh. "What you mean by people is Téa. I'm not that naïve Yami."

Yami eyes her before smiling coldly. "Maybe not, but I do have a rep to protect."

Serenity looks at him outraged. "You're right. Let's protect your precious reputation! Look I was so willing to shout what I feel for you to the world and yet you…"

Yami sets his jaw. "And what is it that you feel?"

Serenity turns her back to him so he can't see the tears coursing down her cheeks. "You make me feel loved. I don't feel like a child when I am with you. Yami you see me for what I am and yet you make me feel like I am valuable to someone. With everyone else I am the naïve girl who doesn't have a clue, but with you… I feel as if I am a woman. I love you Yami. I love you for the way you protect the people you love. I love the way you make me feel safe, but most of all I love the way you command attention."

Yami's face relaxes and a slow smile crosses his face. He takes a step toward Serenity and pulls her up against him. "Do you really feel like that?"

Serenity nods unable to speak. Yami turns her around and to his chagrin he notices the tears on her cheeks. "Do you want to know how I feel? Serenity you give me a deep peace. I feel like I can relax with you. Do you know what made me come to the beach the day I met you? I was tired of being the strong one. I'm the guy everyone goes to when they are in trouble. They expect me to handle all the problems. With you it's not like that. You allow me to be human. I can let out whatever I am feeling with you. Serenity I'm in love with you. You scare me, because you are the only one who has gotten under my skin, and I don't want you to leave me."

Serenity looks up and she rises on her toes before softly pressing her lips to Yami's. Yami pulls her closer to him and is shocked when it is Serenity who deepens the kiss. She parts her lips under his and for the first time it is Serenity who makes the kiss more passionate. Yami pulls back after a few minutes before picking Serenity up bridal style. She smiles at him before laying her head on his shoulder. Yami gently sits her down on the sand under their palm tree. Serenity smiles as she spreads out a beach blanket she brought. She lies down and motions Yami over toward her.

He lies down beside her and pulls her close to him. "Where do we go from here?"

Serenity smiles and she allows her hand to rest lightly on his chest. "I'm tired of secrets."

Yami smiles and whispers, "So am I" before passionately kissing her.


Serenity waits a moment before getting off the motorcycle. She looks at Yami and is pleased when he turns off the engine and takes her hand before getting off himself.

Yami grins. "I'm not going to let my princess get reamed out by her brother all alone."

Serenity smiles softly. "Thank you my prince."

Yami grins and the two lovers walk up the steps. Serenity pauses outside her door and frowns. Yami pulls her into a hug for a minute before brushing the hair back from her eyes. She smiles at him before opening the door to an irate brother.

Joey doesn't notice Yami behind Serenity as he shoots up off the couch. "Where have you been Seren? You had me worried! Do you know that you could have been hurt or worse?"

Yami raises an eyebrow before drawing attention to himself. "Relax Joey."

Joey looks at Yami and then looks at his rumpled sister. "What is going on?"

Serenity smiles broadly as Yami steps up beside her. "Joey I have something to tell you."

Joey notices them holding hands and he smiles. "Did you two work things out?"

Serenity nods and Yami smirks. Joey grins before ordering some pizza. Serenity shakes her head and Yami grins. "Some things never change." An hour later Serenity steps out of the shower and does a happy twirl. She grins while she dries her hair and gets dressed. Yami casts a special protecting charm over Serenity before turning his attention back to Joey.

Joey grins as the third eyes dies. "Man you have got it bad!"

Yami frowns and gives a careless shrug. "Mind your own business."

Joey only chuckles before turning serious. "Ok. She has to be home by nine and no movies above the PG rating. Make sure she wears her helmet and Yami, no making out."

Yami nearly rolls his eyes but stops himself. "Alright. Anything else?"

Joey thinks for a moment and shrugs. "Be a gentleman and take care of her."

Serenity looks at herself in the mirror and smiles at her reflection. She tucks in an extra set of clothes in her bag before brushing out her hair. She opens the bathroom door in time to hear Joey laying out some rules for Yami. She frowns as she hears Yami's agreement. Back to the real world, at least I have Yami! Serenity and Joey hug each other and Yami waits by the door.

Serenity gives Joey a kiss on the cheek and smiles. "Don't worry big brother!"

Joey looks over her jeans and simple t-shirt. "I'm not sis. Go have fun."

A few minutes later Serenity and Yami shoot off toward the movies. Yami turns down a road Serenity doesn't know before stopping at a gas station. She jumps of the cycle and walks inside. Yami follows her and waits for her by the bathroom. Serenity pulls off her clothes before changing into her real outfit. She pulls on a white top with thin straps before pulling on a pair of faded jeans that flare. She pulls her hair up into a messy French twist that is held up by two sticks inscribed with hieroglyphics. Serenity smiles before pulling on a denim jacket. She tucks her other outfit into her bag before opening the door.

Yami turns as the bathroom door opens. He looks Serenity over and smiles before holding out his hand to her. She smiles and they walk out of the store. Yami looks around before using some magic to shrink Serenity's bag. He smirks at her gasp before tucking it into a small compartment under her seat. He looks over at her before pulling her into a deep kiss. Serenity leans into him and feels his arms go around her. He pulls back after a minute and they smile as they go on their first real date.
