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 Eight: Breaking up and Breaking DownI 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 wakes up a few days later and smiles. She takes a shower before getting dressed. She tucks a few things into a black bag before leaving a note for Joey. She opens the front door and walks in the opposite direction of the beach. She smiles at the few people she passes on the way. An hour later she reaches a run down building. Serenity walks inside and heads toward her class. She smiles at the few people she knows before doing some warm ups. Joey wakes up and sees Serenity's note. He frowns before shaking his head and going to make breakfast wondering what his baby sister is up to now.
Yami groans as he hears his light's cheerful voice. He turns over on his stomach and pulls his pillow over his head. Yugi knocks on the door and waits a few minutes before opening the door. The light from the hallway spills out from behind him lighting up the darkened room. Yugi shakes his head before stepping into the room. Yami groans before rolling on his back. "What is it now Aibou?"
Yugi holds out the phone and Yami mutters a few Egyptian curses before taking the phone. "What?" "No I don't know…" "Well calm down Joey." "It's only eleven…" "I'll go look for her but…" Yami stands up and walks over to his closet, thankful he showers at night. "Serenity's missing."
Yugi's eyes widen and then he remembers something. "Wait doesn't she go to the beach today?"
Yami shrugs after pulling on a shirt. "She's not there."
Yugi goes to say something and then stops himself as Yami closes his eyes. The third eye appears and a few minutes later Yami's eyes snap open. He finishes getting dressed before rushing out the house. Yugi shakes his head and goes to the phone. He waits and on the third ring she answers. "Seren! You better move it…" "Yes Joey called…." "I tired. Look just trust me." "Talk to ya later." Serenity hangs up her cell phone and begins running toward the beach. She nearly makes it a mile away from the run down building before a black motorcycle shoots past her. Yami curses as he passes Serenity. He does a fast u-turn and smirks when Serenity begins to run faster.
Yami catches up with her. "Serenity."
Serenity stops running and she screams before she turns to face Yami. She drops her bag and bends over clutching her side. Yami cuts off the engine and gets of the cycle. Serenity rushes into his arms and clutches his shirt. Yami brushes a soft kiss across her temple and looks around for anyone who might have been following her. He picks up her bag and gets her situated on the cycle in front of him before heading back toward the Kame shop. Serenity grins momentarily before closing her eyes and gripping Yami tighter. He frowns, resolving to question her after she calms down. Half an hour later Yami pulls into the driveway and cuts off his engine.
He waits for Serenity to let go of him and shakes his head when she doesn't. "You alright?"
Serenity nods. "I'm so glad that was you behind me."
Yami closes his eyes, before drawing on his infamous cool. "What where you doing over there anyways?"
Serenity bits on her lower lip nervously. "Is it that important?"
Yami shrugs, his eyes glinting dangerously. "To me? Yes."
Serenity loosens her grip on Yami and looks up at him. "I'm sorry but I…"
Yami lets go of her and gets of the motorcycle. "I'll let Joey know you are here."
Serenity reaches for Yami and is stung when he moves away from her. He looks at her and his eyes show nothing of his inner turmoil. "Don't bother Serenity. Look we just are not right for each other. It was fun while it lasted, but I think you and Yugi are better suited. Why don't you go out with him?"
Yugi steps outside in time to hear Yami's last statement and is floored when his dark walks past him. Serenity gets off the motorcycle and pushes her hair back from her eyes. She smiles at Yugi and he rushes over to her as her knees give out. Yugi gently lowers Serenity down to the ground and he just sits and holds her. When Joey pulls up thirty minutes later, he sees Yugi holding Serenity.
Joey gathers her up in his arms. "Are you alright?"
Serenity nods. "Nothing I can't… Joey he…"
Joey picks her up and carries her to the car. He softly reassures her that everything will be ok before nodding at Yugi. Yami looks down at the scene his eyes darkening. He closes his half of the mind link, before once more drawing back into himself.
Serenity looks out her window a few hours later, watching the clouds in the sky. Her eyes fill with tears as she once more reads the poem Yami wrote to her. She lays her head in her arms before sobbing. Joey looks at her with Yugi and they both sigh. Joey closes her door and allows Yugi a few minutes with Serenity. Yugi walks over to his friend and kneels down beside her. He gently touches her arm and is shocked when she falls over into his arms. Yugi gathers her close to him and glares at the door while she mummers Yami's name over and over.
Joey motions for Yami to sit down before glaring at the ancient duelist. "What happened?"
Yami glares at Joey and mutters. "Just go to the shadow realm."
Joey shrugs his shoulders and waits Yami out. Yami sighs. "Ok look she wouldn't tell me why she was there."
Joey nods. "And where is there?"
Yami snarls now. "She was in the warehouse district."
Joey stands up now furious. "She was where!"
Yami nods his mood finally matching Joey's. "That was my reaction. Look she refused to tell me. Joey it was like she didn't trust me."
Joey sits back down. "You got to understand Serenity. In New York, she learned to keep things quite. Now she is somewhat naïve about people, but when she sets her mind up to something she will usually keep it to herself unless she is not sure about how to go about it."
Yami groans. "I blew it! I got mad at her and just cut her off."
Joey sighs. "Why did you do that?"
Yami stands up now and walks over to the window. "You don't get it. As pharaoh I had the right to know everything that was going on. I can honestly say that was the first time I didn't get the information I asked for. All I got was… Is it that important?"
Yugi rubs Serenity's back trying to calm her down. "What happened Seren?"
Serenity hiccups before sighing. "I didn't tell him why I was there."
Yugi groans. "That would be the first time for him."
Serenity makes a small o with her mouth before wiping her eyes. Yugi moves her hair back from her face before opening her window. Serenity shivers slightly as the cool wind blows against her. Yugi pulls her hair off of her neck and smirks when she sighs. She leans back into Yugi and he wraps his arms around her. Serenity once more tears up but this time her face stays dry and she hides her face against Yugi.
Yami opens the door to find Yugi holding Serenity against him. He looks around her room appalled. Her usually neat bed is unmade and her clothes are scattered around her room. Her draws are opened randomly and her closet door is opened. He looks over at Serenity and is shocked to see her hair stringy and she is wearing his hoodie. Her face is buried against Yugi as he whispers soothing words to her. Yami opens up the mind link and Yugi looks over at him. Yami visibly flinches when his light glares at him. Yugi whispers to Serenity and she looks up. Yami takes a step toward her and he is shocked when she moves behind Yugi. Yugi kisses her softly on the cheek before pushing Yami out of the room.
Yami sits down at the kitchen table a few hours later watching Yugi gather his thoughts together. Yugi whirls around and glares at Yami. "You don't get your way and what? You dump her?"
Yami looks down. "Yugi don't."
Yugi crosses his arms and for a moment he looks like a smaller version of Yami. "Don't what? Don't get mad because you have broken the heart of one of my dearest friends? Don't tell you that all she wanted was you! Not Pharaoh Atemu or King of Games, but you!"
Yami looks up now and he glares at Yugi. "You are a fine one to talk! You seem to be enjoying "taking care" of Serenity!"
Yugi gives a soft but sarcastic laugh. "You obviously have no idea."
Yami snorts his own eyes turning a darker shade. "Do not insult me."
Yugi looks at Yami and his eyes also darken. "Or what? You are gonna send me to the shadow realm? Get real Yami! She needs you! Why do you think she lets me hold her? It would be because you obviously don't care!"
Yugi storms up the stairs muttering a few curses before slamming his door. Yugi tosses a bag on the bag before letting giving the door a good kick. He walks over to his bed and goes through the C.D.s Serenity let him borrow. He wrinkles his nose at the Hillary Duff one wondering how it got in the pile. Yugi tosses it on the bed before noticing a song circled. He looks at the date beside it and then smirks. Yami lays his head on the table and sighs, deciding it's time he made a change. He sits up as Yugi, from his half of the mind link, has a song surging through his head. Yami closes his eyes as he remembers a song that played on his date with Serenity.(A/N: Nope don't own this. Hillary Duff does!)
When the night won't fall and the sun won't rise
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you
Love just is… whatever it may be
Love just is… you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for… love just is
When you ask to stay and then disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace
Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you
Love just is… whatever it may be
Love just is… you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for… love just is
Don't ever ask me for reasons
I can't get to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons
Why I live for you… I just do
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try making sense of you
Love just is… whatever it may be
Love just is… you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for… love just is
