Author's note: thanks for all the reviews!Here's chapter 4 sorry it took me so long!

Breakfast

Seto marched into the kitchen to see that everyone else was here, everyone but Serenity that was. It was a welcome sight anyway, with Raphael cooking bacon and eggs, Valon cooking French toast and both of them fighting over who had more room on the stove. Amelda was sitting at the table with a cup of tea spiked with blood at his elbow, he was reading that same green book again and his feet were propped up on the table.

Vampires needed blood but the older you got the less often you needed it. For one who was newly turned like Valon, they needed blood nearly every day. For one as old as Seto, they needed blood once a month. But as Seto and his small 'clan' only drank animal blood they needed it more often so Seto and Amelda had it once every two weeks, Raphael had it once a week and Valon had to have it twice a day, he often mixed it with his sodas.

Seto went about setting up food to take to Serenity. Amelda glanced over but didn't say anything. Seto walked out again; as he was heading down the corridor he heard a loud crash and then Valon shouting "you ass! That was my breakfast!"

Raphael replied with "it was on my side of the stove."

"The hell it was! And even if it was there was no need for you to throw it out of the window!"

"I didn't throw out of the window, the window wasn't even open"

"Why don't you say that to my face…"

Seto smiled softly, although he would be ash before he'd admit it he liked listening to Valon and Raphael argue about nothing worth arguing about…there was something normal about it.

Flashback

Seto after storming out of the study went to take dinner to Serenity. She had fallen asleep on the small couch in her room. She wasn't wearing much, a blue-purple and black tie-dye t-shirt that fell to about mid-thigh.

Seto had felt bad because he had forgotten to bring her food when arguing with everyone in the study. He had set the food down and picked her up to put her in the bed.

He remembered how she had sighed and shifted comfortably in his arms. It had made his silent heart ache. He wanted her to sigh when she was awake and in his arms, under him.

He had shaken the thought off. She was a guest. Nothing else, she here because of the downpour outside. When the rain stopped falling he would go on with his life and she would go on with hers…she would grow old…get married…have children…grandchildren. He couldn't understand why there was a mix of jealousy and wild anger eating at him from inside for the man who got to call her his wife.

Seto had put on the bed and covered her with the covers then walked out. He had locked the door for her own protection.

Flashback ends

Seto studied the sleeping form, she had hardly moved from last night. Deciding she had to eat something Seto leaned over and roughly shook her awake.

Serenity started and then gaped at Seto. How was it that he looked like he just spent a week in a spa and she felt bed- haggled and grumpy. He was wearing leather pants again, she tried-and failed- not to notice how snug they were. This time the top was cotton and white, it accented how pale his was.

Seto cleared his throat. "Sorry, but you didn't have a any dinner last night so I thought you should have some breakfast." He lifted the tray he was holding.

Serenity stared at the food on the tray. It was heaped with food; there were five slices of toast held in a fancy silver stack. There were small glass bowls of butter, marmalade and three different types of jam. There were also four bowls of different cereals and a glass of apple juice and a glass of orange juice.

" Is that all for me?" Serenity asked.

"Uh…yeah." Seto looked faintly embarrassed.

"That's way too much, I couldn't eat half of that." Serenity gasped. " I know why don't you join me."

" Join you?"

" Help me eat it." Serenity explained.

"Okay" Seto set the tray on the bed and then climbed so he was sitting crossed legged on the spread. He picked a piece of toast and easily buttered and spread strawberry jam evenly over it.

Serenity chose one of the bowls of cereal and glanced out side. Her heart sank at the steady rain. Seto noticed and sighed.

"It going to keep up for a couple of days and then there's bound to be flooding."

Not wanting to see her upset Seto held out his toast "here try some."

Serenity laughed and leaned forward and took a generous bite. She then held out her spoon, loaded with colourful sugar puffs to Seto "try." She smiled.

Seto allowed her to feed him the cereal. He laughed himself; the sound wasn't the cold chuckle or the humourless snort she had heard before. This sound was full of humour; his blue eyes that were normally cold were now warm and friendly. This Seto looked completely different from the one she met yesterday.

Before she could even think, Serenity pressed her lips to his. Seto froze as lust slammed into his gut. Serenity gently pulled back. She looked slightly shocked.

"Sorry. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have…" she never got to finish her sentence because Seto set down his toast and took her bowls and put that down too. He then took her face gently in his hands and pressed his lips firmly on hers.

Where her kiss had been playful and good-natured, seto's was more serious and more possessive. He gently teased her lips open and slipped his tongue into her warm sweet mouth. Serenity moaned and her arms came up to encircle his neck. Seto arms came around her slender waist and pulled her closer.

Slowly they both pulled away. Neither noticed that they still held one another. Serenity was breathless and her eyes were clouded with desire. Seto dropped his arms and backed off the bed. He had to get away from her…he could feel the beast rise up inside him. Hungering for him to take her now.

"No one…no one has ever kissed me like that…made me feel like that." Serenity sounded almost awed at the experience. Seto stared at her. She so very nearly undid him.

"Was that the first time someone kissed you?" he said forgetting that she had started it.

"Of course not." Serenity felt her blood boil with anger. " But that was the first time someone stuck their tongue down my throat." The anger and embarrassment had given her cheeks a warm red glow.

" I have to lock the door." Seto told her as he walked out.

"What? You can't just walk outta here! Aren't you listening to me!" she jumped out as Seto closed the door. She then heard the small click of the lock. " You son of a bitch! Open this door! SETO! SETO? Open this door you bastard." She pulled at the door handle even though she knew it was futile.

Flopping down on the bed, Serenity stared at the door in defeat. She looked around the room when an idea came to her. Just how would Seto like to come in a find the room a tip? She was going to enjoy seeing his face.

Amelda sat in the study where he and the others had met last night. He was reading the green book as he waited for Seto to come in. sure enough as Amelda turned a page Seto slammed into the room, he headed straight to the bar in the corner. He didn't acknowledge Amelda and went about pouring a shot of straight vodka; he knocked it back and immediately poured himself another.

"So she kissed you and you're taking the blame." Amelda stated to get the older vampire's attention. He glanced up and saw the cold look from Seto, shrugged and went back to his book.

" I frenched her. She never experienced that and I shouldn't have done it. She mad at me now."

"There's a first time for everything. I think she is actually mad at you because she enjoyed it and she barely knows you."

"Whatever. What is that book you are always reading?" Seto asked to change the subject.

"Gozaburo Kaiba's personal journal. You would not believe how arrogant this man was." Amelda laughed.

"Don't mention him." Seto snarled, his fangs clearly visible.

Amelda glanced at the door and smiled softly when he heard a loud crash followed by cursing only his advanced hearing could hear. "Your little mortal's wreaking her room. Such anger. And frustration. Did you lock her in?"

" I had to it was for her own safety" Seto tried to justify his actions.

" Her safety against what we are or against what you feel for her?"

"What are you talking about Amelda?"

"You're in love with her."

The door opened and Raphael peered in. "whose making that ruckus?" he inquired. Valon appeared behind him looking slightly mussed and very tired.

"What with all the noise?" he moaned. Valon was the youngest, he had been changed for nearly fifty years now but somehow he had kept all his innocence while Seto, Amelda and Raphael had all grown up rather quickly after their transformation.

"It's nothing go back to bed." Seto told them. Reluctantly they both did.

Serenity tossed the china lamp at the door, the lamp exploded into thousands of little pieces and the door remained untouched.

"Fucking hell! What in gods name is that door made out of?" she screamed, surrounding her were books papers clothes and other things. The room looked like a stampede of elephants ran through it. A stampede of elephants high on sugar that is. Serenity then approached the door. Looking at the keyhole an idea came to her.

She quickly searched the apartment for a pen; she found one under a pile of her clothes, where she had thrown them at the window. The ballpoint cartridge easily fitted in the keyhole, jiggling it about a bit; Serenity smiled triumphantly when she heard the lock click open.

Without looking back Serenity hurried out of the room. The hall was empty and looked even smarter and grander than it had last night. The hall was lined with doors, stepping up and opening each one and poking her head in just to see what the room looked like before opening another door. All the rooms seemed to be bedrooms.

Why did Seto put me right at the end of the hall? It's not like anyone else lives here. There are no maids or anyone else. It completely empty.

Hearing a noise from the next door, Serenity went and opened it a crack. All she saw was red. It was everywhere, glistening blood all over the floor. Then a boy fell, he landed with his face towards her, and his eyes were open and deep grey-purple. His hair was long and dark; it fluttered behind him like wings, as it seemed to take him forever to fall. Serenity watched in horror as his unique eyes went dull and dead. Serenity seemed to be frozen there. Then she heard the laugh.

Without thinking she raced back to her room, shut the door and did the first thing that occurred to her. She crawled into the closet.

Amelda's eyes flew open. He had been taking a nap on the settee and dreaming he saw death. Blood all over the floor…dead eyes staring. Amelda swore violently and then dashed out of the study shouting for Seto.

Seto heard Amelda and met him halfway down the stairs. "What is it?" Seto asked coldly. He then noticed that his friend was freaked out by something. Seto knew it took a lot to freak out Amelda. "Amelda?"

"Serenity saw something."

"Impossible. I locked her in her room."

" You ever stop and think that maybe she knows how to pick a lock?" Amelda retorted angrily.

"Shit." Seto headed for Serenity's room with Amelda right behind him.

When the men reached the room they saw the mess Seto went stared. "What the hell happened here?"

"She did this her self." Amelda murmured hoping to calm him down. He did a quick mental search of the room. Seto was in shock at the debris and was wondering how such a small girl could cause such chaos. Then he caught it. A whiff of fear. It was coming from the closet.

She hid in the closet.

She is unhurt?

Yes.

Good.

You should open the door. If she sees me she is most likely to freak out. She knows you.

Slowly, so he didn't startle her Seto opened the door. She was huddled there with her hands over her ears and her eyes squeezed tight.

"Serenity? Are you okay?" Seto asked softly.

Serenity's eyes shot open and she tried to back her self further into the closet.

"It's okay. We aren't going to hurt you." Seto promised.

"I think it's time we told you the truth. About everything." Amelda whispered.
