Chapter Four
Serenity's POV
Thank God! Today was probably the most exhausting day yet. Two presentations and three exams man, I never thought college would be this difficult. Even though…there's one thing that bothers me, I didn't see that guy again today and he still has my book. He's probably looked inside already like I did to him but I wonder did he think? I don't show my drawings to anyone but my close friends plus…I just can't stop thinking about this guy. I have to admit, he was drop dead gorgeous. Oh well I guess I'll still be able to go to sit under the sakura tree. The cherry blossoms are beautiful this time of year so I always like to sit under it when I get the chance. I guess I'll have to give him his stuff tomorrow.
Once I had reached the park and walked over to the tree which had no one in sight which was another great benefit. I sat under and absorbed everything around me for a second. It was so quiet and serene here. The lake glistened in the sun. Everyone should have a place like this. To just run away to when you have no place left to go. The gentle wind blowing past you, it's simply tranquil. I still wonder when I will see that guy again come to think, the book said his name was Seto Kaiba. I faintly remember seeing him at Battle City. He always had a cold exterior and cold expression on his face, never once smiled. I wonder what he's like now…
Seto's POV
Damn it! I forgot about the business meetings today so I couldn't go to class today and I'm still stuck with her book not to mention she still has mine. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get her out my mind all day. What if she looked inside my notebook, I never let anyone read it, not even Mokuba. Just great, another person to judge me, It's kind of tiresome, for people to assume they know and pretend they understand when they don't know shit. Anyway I guess I'll have to wait seeing as though I don't know where she lives.
I decided to go to the sakura tree near lake. I usually go there when I need a break and it's perfect since it's so deep in the park and no on is around so there's no one taking pictures of me and selling it to the tabloids. It's amazing how you could find a small piece of serenity in the most simplest places. It's like going there is escaping reality, it's surreal almost like a breath of fresh air for me.
Once I got to the spot I noticed there was a girl already a girl sitting under the tree towards the lake – the same girl from yesterday. God, she is beautiful, wait no, why do I keep thinking about her, saying things like that about her? I just get my notebook and leave but the only thing is…will my heart allow me to do so?
Normal POV
He walked over to her and sat beside as her head was still down, looking at her book not noticing he was sitting right next to her – or staring at her for that matter. For a few seconds but it seemed like an eternity, just admiring her presence and her angelic beauty until finally he decided to speak.
"Hey" he said in a low tone.
She quickly turned her head to gaze into those beautiful blue eyes once again. The gentle breeze blew strands of her auburn hair across her face, never breaking eye contact. It was truly a perfect picture moment.
"H-Hey, I was looking for you today" she said showing her amazing smile.
"Yeah I had some meetings to attend to"
"Oh well I should probably give this back to you" she said pulling out his back out of her bag, handing it to him. They exchanged their things which brought about an awkward silence between them until…
"S-So…did you…did you um" she said trailing off, not sure how to ask him.
"Yes I did look inside your book…your drawings were amazing" he said.
"Thanks" she said as a blush crept upon her face.
"Did you look at mine?" he asked looking at her.
"Y-Yes…your poems were simply beautiful"
"Thanks" he mumbled under his breath.
"Do you…do you really feel that way…towards love?" she finally got out. For it had been pondering her mind ever since she read that poem. She just had to ask.
"So you read that poem…yeah I do…love is a waste of time, it's foolish to give your heart to someone just for them to break it…its just meaningless"
"Not completely…sometimes you don't always get lucky on the first try"
"What about you and Yami…how long did the dream last?" he asked for the curiosity burned inside him but his gift of not showing any emotion whenever he wanted kicked in.
"Oh that…Yami and I were together for a while, it's weird because we were two people who wanted to find love and found it in each other but…it wasn't right, I knew deep down it wasn't meant to be but I was afraid, everyone around me had someone and I was afraid of being alone again like my mother died, I just didn't want to go back to that place again"
"So you thought you two thought you could fill that empty spot you fill, right?" He knew what that felt like…because he felt the same for Kisara.
"Yeah"
"So let me get this straight, you're the sister of the mutt and the ex-girlfriend of my arch rival, wow you're like my little bad luck charm"
"So you do know my name, I should be so honored" she said laughed.
"You surprise me, usually I can never open up like this to anyone but my brother"
"Same with me, everyone just think of me as the same little girl I used to be but I'm older…everyone just thinks they know you when they-"
"Know nothing" he interrupted actually starting to enjoy each other's company.
"Yeah…like you…everyone always says how cold and ruthless you are but from today I have yet to see that I like to see people through my own eyes" said Serenity.
They continued to talk for hours, enjoying each other's company and getting to know one another not realizing how much time had passes as the sun began to set. They finally got up and proceeded to leave until Serenity scratched her by a sharp twig in the bushes and fell to ground, holding her leg.
"What's wrong?" he asked actually showing a slight of concern in his voice.
"My leg" she mumbled as her frail began to shiver from the cold winds against her wound as blood began to leak. To make matters worse, it began to rain. He knew if she kept walking, the wound would get worse so he picked her bridal style and walked out of the park. The rain had got increasingly worse. Neither of them could last if they kept walking in this heavy down pour.
'I knew where we could go'
Preview: Ok so Seto takes our Serenity to a secret place (I'm not going to give that info away! Haha!) and nurses her wound but what happens when they have to stay for much longer then they expected? Maybe you really can find serenity in the simplest places. Until the next chapter.
Hope ya like! Please review!
