Kaiba smiled to himself as he took the final gulp of his drink. He had managed to get time on the channel without much hassle and for absolutely free. But he was feeling a bit drowsy. Must've drunk too much he thought frowning and rubbing his temples. He put the glass back down at the bar and walked of too find Serenity.

He spotted her talking to a bunch of women include Valentine and Gardner; she had her back to him and seemed to be in a conversation. Kaiba crept up behind her while scowling away the interested looks he got from the women she was talking too. He snaked his arm around her waist and she jumped with shock.

"Hello" Kaiba murmured into her ear while kissing her neck softly and making her blush.

"You scared me!" She said to him turning around and swatting his arms away, embarrassed by the public affection. This made Kaiba pout at her in a joke-like way...making him look uncharacteristically small.

"What's wrong" Serenity asked brushing his hair away from his eyes, and snuggling up to his chest to whisper sympathetically. When she'd finished she looked up at him waiting for his response.

"Can we go home?" Kaiba asked like a little kid even though they both knew he would do whatever he pleased.

"Aren't you going to ask me to dance?" Serenity said sarcastically as Kaiba wrapped his arms around her again, even tighter Kaiba shook his head frowning, flicking his hair into his eyes. Serenity laughed. Kaiba released her from his grasp and frowned.

"Take me home," He commanded.

"In a minute" She replied after pretending to think about it, she then returned to her secretly staring friends.

"How about now?" Kaiba whispered in her ear from behind her.

"Nope" Serenity said turning around to face him again, crossing her arms pretending to be in-charge.

"Now?"

"Now what?"

"Can we go home know Mrs. Serenity Kaiba…pretty please?" Kaiba said almost doing the eye thing he hated so much. Serenity burst out laughing. Kaiba + Bambi eyes = very desperate. Serenity nodded and Kaiba instantly yanked her by the elbow and pulled her towards the door.

"Why do you want to go home anyway? Aren't you having enough fun here?" Serenity asked as they walked back up the steps and through the door.

"These people are pissin' me off, did you see the way your sister-in-law was glaring at me? And besides I want to spend some quality time with my beautiful wife" Kaiba murmured seductively making Serenity blush again. The glass door was opened and they stepped out into the icy cold black night.

"Shall we call the limo first or Mokuba?" Kaiba asked taking out his cell phone from his top pocket.

"Mokie's already gone home- he went around midnight with Rebecca," Serenity said looking up at the twinkling stars in the charcoal sky and she sighed. She was so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and she thanked God every day. Sure, not everyone thought that they would work out, hell; even she'd had her doubts in the beginning. But she'd proved them all wrong, and eventually everyone had gotten used to it. She remembered the first time they had actually spoken to each other. Well if you could call it speaking…It was nearly two years ago but Serenity knew it was a memory that would stay with her for the rest of her life…

FLASHBACK

"Thank you, have a nice day ma'am." The Starbucks employee chirped flashing his best smile. Serenity nodded happily; forcing her wallet back into her leather handbag, grabbing her coffee from the counter, and click-clacking through the busy shop, back to university.

She thought about her latest assignment- she was now an art student at Dartmouth, a fact she was exceptionally proud of- to… a large plop of heavy thick rain fell right into Serenity eye, followed by another, and then 50 gazillion more.

She quickly darted for cover into a small, half-full bookstore, full of floor to ceiling shelves, packed with multi-coloured spines. She then stood at the entrance and ruffled through her handbag, looking for the umbrella she had placed there yesterday- this was Domino City- rain was more likely then than cars, you had to be prepared. Getting frustrated at her lack of success, Serenity went over to an empty table and putting down her coffee emptied out the content of her bag. There was not much in it… note pad, watercolours, mascara, keys, wallet, lip gloss, mirror-- no Umbrella. Serenity sighed; it was just her luck for her most needed item of the day to miraculously disappear. Roughly dumping all her belongings into the bag, Serenity cursed under her breath, then she felt something hot and runny dripping down her bag. Damn it! She'd chucked her full coffee cup into her bag… why?

Sighing she turned around to find the store full, a haven from the pelting rain. She walked a few paces through the crowded room, leaving her soggy belongings behind to look for a shop assistant.

"Urm…Excuse me?" Serenity asked the distracted lady, talking on her mobile. "Do you-.."

"I'm on my break," The lady barked so loud Serenity slid back and broke the heel on her black boots. Loosing her balance she slipped behind, and fell flat on the floor.

Ouch.

The tall sapphire eyed man, seeming excessively powerful in his black suit, glared down at Serenity raising an eyebrow at her, like she was pathetic. Serenity was suspicious he had moved backward to keep from catching her but she had better things to think about now- like the coarsing pain shooting through her back-side. He just looked down at her wanting her to move, while she waited for him to help her up, like a gentleman would. They both waited expectant for a few minutes

Then a casually dressed man came over to Serenity, knelt down besides her reaching towards her in a way that instantly made her uncomfortable.

"Let me help you up" he breathed, softly smiling at her. Serenity smiled back; glad at least someone was being normal.

He lifted her effortlessly, while she leaned most of her weight onto him. After a few minutes, Serenity felt conscious of how close she was to this helpful, green-eyed stranger and stood straight steadying herself. Immediately, she fell backwards again- she'd forgotten about the heel. The man touched the small of her back helping her stay upright.

Serenity smiled at him awkwardly. She knelt down, doing her best to get away from him, and unzipped her boots. Taking them off she grinned at the nice man watching her awkwardly. She was about to walk back to her table, when she remembered the coffee incident. She turned to the kind man. Two strikes in day.

"Urm… thank you." She smiled politely.

"No problem" He flashed his teeth.

"I was just wondering… do you have any tissue…? I kynda spilt some stuff…"

"What a surprise" He laughed lightly, he then turned his pockets inside out, "Fresh out of tissue though…but"

He looked at Kaiba, who was now on the phone, with his back strategically towards them. Serenity followed his gaze and rolled her eyes. The kind man tapped Kaiba on the shoulder, disrupting his phone call.

"Sorry, can I borrow the napkin?" He said pointing to the neat accessory placed in Kaiba's pocket. Kaiba just rolled his eyes, and thrust his napkin at the freak to stop him talking- that was his good deed done for the day. The man passed it to Serenity who took it and walked to her possessions.

She cleaned up quickly and efficiently, making sure her money was still dry and thrusting the Armani napkin into the side of her bag. She threw the paper cup into the trash and, after trying very hard to snap the other heel off her intact shoe, gave up and began walking bare-feet outside, holding her boots in one hand and her purse in the other. After fighting through the people, Serenity remembered, it was raining. She was going to have to run, bare feet, in the pelting rain, to her house. She could never go back to Uni like this- it would be the death of her.

But then, looking outside, like some kind of balance from the stars, was Mokuba's 80's Volkswagen. Seeing Serenity, Mokuba rolled down his front windows and grinned, waving at her. He then beckoned her into the car. Desperately Serenity ran to him, opening the doors and shooting to his car.

"Hey Ren, get in the back seat kay? Waiting for someone else too…" Serenity nodded smiling, so glad her rescuer was here.

"You, Mokuba Kaiba, are my personal guardian angel!" Serenity smiled leaning back against her seat thanking her luck.

"That's me!!" Mokuba grinned. "Urm… Ren, what the hell happened to your shoes?"

But Serenity didn't answer, because in that moment, a tall, brunette with longish hair for a man, and amazing deep blue eyes stepped into the car. Serenity's eyes widened in shock. Given the choice, she would have faced the rain- but she no longer had a choice. The whole car ride, Kaiba ignored her, and she ignored him. Mokuba, feeling the tension provided 100% of the conversation, while over exaggerating the reasons for the cold atmosphere in his his mind. When she left the car, he didn't even look at her.

So that was the famous Seto Kaiba- the bastard.

END FLASHBACK

"Hey sexy, what you thinking about?" Seto's voice awoke her from her daydream.

"You, as usual" Serenity smiled. She realized that the limo had already arrived and she got into it followed by Kaiba. She then crawled into his lap like she was five and leaned against his chest, placing her sandaled feet up on the seat sighing while he grinned down at her. She still had the napkin.

--

When they arrived at the huge Kaiba mansion, they both went straight up the stairs to their main bedroom on the top floor. Serenity went into the on-suite to take her make-up off and Kaiba fell straight into the king sized bed- not even bothering to take his shoes off- and fell asleep.

Serenity came into the bedroom with her over-sized blue pyjamas on and went to the mirror to brush her hair. While she was there she cast her mind back to the conversation with Mai and Joey earlier at the ball

"Seto, you know Mai and Joey's kids- Lea and Jamie? Well... Mai's kynda busy tomorrow and we thought it would be nice if you know… Joey and the kids came over for the day" Serenity bit her lip nervously knowing her husband and Joey would react exactly the same way. After not hearing any screaming she replaced the brush back on the dresser and looked around at Seto She saw him asleep and smiled to herself.

"Well I guess he'll just get a shock in the morning" She mumbled to herself. She climbed up onto the bed and carefully and quietly took his shoes and socks of. Then, throwing them on the floor with a loud BANG! She climbed into bed next to him and pulled the duvet over them both with a bit of a struggle. Boy was she wrong…
