Chapter Five
Normal POV
Kaiba carried Serenity's unconscious body through the fierce storm. The streets had been cleared as people fled to their homes for the rain had become ten times worse. Even he couldn't take the harsh rain pounding on his body much longer. Luckily he always was prepared for such things. Finally, they had reached their destination. A small townhouse that looked like it had rarely been used. He walked up to the door and struggled to get his key out of his key out of his pocket. Finally he opened the door. He turned the lights on and laid her frail body on his black leather sofa. The small house was graced in beautiful Asian décor with hardwood floors throughout the house. The lights give it a gloomier since just about everything in the living room was black and red. He took off his trench coast and his shirt for the water had gone right through. He was soaked, water running down his toned chest down to his chisel abs, water dripping from his chestnut locks. He quickly went over to Serenity to check on her wound which was still bleeding. He quickly tended to her injury and bandaged it up.
Right now, she was simply sleeping. Seto sat on the edge of the sofa and just stared at the sleep beauty. Even in peaceful slumber, her divine beauty resonated through the room. He placed his hand on her cheek as her chest rose up and down. She looked like an angel. After a few minutes, he got up and went to the bathroom and took a shower as he waited for Serenity to awaken.
Serenity's POV
'Dream"
"MOM!"
"Mom, where are you!"
"Joey! Yami, Tea, Mai, somebody please!"
I fell to the ground and hugged myself tightly. That feeling had returned. I was so alone again like when my mom died. That feeling was back…
"I'm so alone…"
'You're never alone'
"Who's there?" I said and turned around to see where that voice was coming from yet there was still no one.
"Where are you?"
'I'm with you…'
'End of Dream'
"Who…are…"
My eyes fluttered open as my eye sight slowly returned to me. When I awoke, I wasn't in the park anymore but inside a beautiful house but Kaiba wasn't here either. I got up from the black leather sofa. I was still kind of dazed. I saw my leg bandaged up that's when I remembered – we were in the park and I had gotten hurt, that's when I blacked out. He…helped me. I heard the rain beat on the window; it looked like it was a really bad storm
"So you're finally awake"
I turned around to see Kaiba with black pants and no shirt with a towel around his neck. I felt my face grow hot as I looked to the ground. Wait, why am I blushing? It's just me and him – a hot guy with no shirt that looks like a sex god that I barely know but no biggies…right?
"H-Hey"
"Oh I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable" he said suddenly realizing he was missing a shirt.
"N-No…I should go"
"You can't go back out now, the storm is too harsh, I just check out the news and there was tow car accidents car accidents on the highway and traffic is jammed so my limo may take a little longer then expected" he said.
Oh that can't be good…
Normal POV
"Joey stop pacing back and forth, I'm sure she's fine" said Mai sitting on the couch trying to comfort her boyfriend.
"Where is she? She always calls me by now"
"She's probably just waiting for rain to stop, I'm sure Serenity is fine"
"But-"
"But nothing! Serenity is 19 years old; I think she can handle herself"
He sighed, knowing Mai had won the argument and sat down on the couch beside her.
"I'm sorry Mai, it's just she's my little sister, you know" he said.
"Don't worry, she's fine" she said taking his hand
"Thanks Mai"
She smiled and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips that he returned with equal passion.
"That's why I'm here" she said in a low seductive voice which he loved so much.
"I love you Mai"
"I love you too Joey"
'This is just weird' Serenity thought as she ate her instant noodles out of a foam cup.
They quietly ate their meals, sitting on opposite ends of the couch, not saying a word to each other. It was just an awkward silence had put on a white sleeveless shirt so he wouldn't make their situation anymore awkward then already was. He had given her an old black hoodie which was really baggy and hid her beautiful figure that he hadn't wore in years but he didn't want her to catch a cold from her wet clothes. Since their ride wasn't going to be here for a while, he had gotten them some instant noodles since neither knew how to cook and have been quiet ever since. Until…
"So…do you live here?" asked Serenity finally breaking the silence.
"No, I just got this so when I just want to be by myself, I can work in private and…just take a break"
"So then you come here often?"
"No, if I'm lucky if I can come here once a month from my work"
"Oh…I-uh never…thanked you for helping me"
"Well I couldn't just leave you in the park now could I?" he said flashing that on so famous smirk.
"I guess but then again I am your bad luck charm" she said with a sweet smile.
"Speaking of which, I remember seeing you at Battle City"
"Yeah, once that was done I moved back with my mom in America in New York"
"What happened?" he asked sensing a hint of sadness in her voice.
"After a year, we found out she had cancer…a year later she died, I didn't even have the money to give her a decent burial…I stayed there until I finished school then I was able to come back to Domino with my brother"
"What about your dad?"
"I never knew my dad so he was definitely not an option" she said looking down.
"…It must have been very lonely for you then…to be so alone" said Seto.
"…That's why when you said that love is a waste, it isn't…anything is better than those years I felt…love can heal all illnesses"
"More like cause them"
"You know I told you about my relationship with Yami so what about yours? What really happened? She said, slipping down more noodles.
"Well I met a girl named Kisara, I met her through a business partner…we went out for a few months, you know I even began to fall in love with her…and I did…but I only found out she was after my money and never had only true feelings for me"
"I'm sorry"
"Doesn't matter, it just meant that…love doesn't heal all wounds…it only leaves a person to become more bitter"
"So…you rather be alone?" she asked.
"Why not…I read in a book once that a human can't live alone but it works better for me, solitude gives me comfort" he said looking at her.
"…It only gives me pain" said Serenity with a hint of sadness in her eye.
"Do you really hate being alone that much?"
"…Yeah…because you end up destroying yourself"
He looked at her for a couple seconds. She was unlike anyone he had ever encountered before. He could talk to her and open up everything almost like he was in a confession booth where you could just let go. What they both didn't realize was they had moved closer to each other, feeling a comfort that they have never felt around anyone before. That may develop into something much more…
Suddenly a bolt of lighting stroked, echoing through the sky. Serenity jumped and felt fear consume her from the storm outside. That's when Seto noticed a sudden change in her. He saw her body begin to shiver, holding herself tightly, fear had finally consume her. Unconsciously, his arm went around her shoulders, bringing her to his chest. A blush crept upon her face. Her mind went blank. Her mind was saying no yet her body froze. She felt the warmth from his chest which made all her fear disappeared.
"There's no reason to be afraid" he whispered in her ear.
"…Thank you, I hate thunder, Joey usually does this when I'm scared"
"Don't worry…I'm with you"
She felt her heart jump when he uttered those words 'I'm With You'. The same words she heard from her dream. Was…he the one calling out to her? Whatever it was, she felt like she was on a cloud. The both felt at ease when they were around one another. Little did they know that this feeling would only grow as time went by…
BEEP BEEP
"What was that?" asked Serenity.
"Looks like our ride is finally here" he said.
They both stood up and get ready walking outside to his black limo.
"I never rode in a limo before" she said as the driver walked over to them and opened the door for them.
"I guess there's a first time for everything…ladies first" he said with a smirk.
She smiled and entered the car as he soon followed and rode off. It was silent the whole ride until they finally reached her house.
"I guess this is it" said Serenity.
"Yeah"
"…um, thank you for everything, I owe you"
"It's no problem"
She was about to get off when an idea suddenly came to her.
"If you want, I mean you're a busy person and all…maybe we can…meet up tomorrow?" she asked nervously.
"…I would love to"
"Great…um well here's my number" she said writing her cell phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to her as he did to her.
"Bye Kaiba"
"Bye"
She got out the car as she watched the car drove off, waiting to see what tomorrow will bring…
