Chapter 3-
"Character speaking"
'Character's thoughts'
A/N: Hey everyone I'm glad to see that you all like this fic so far. Anyways as anticipated here's the next chapter, so enjoy!
Yugi and Serenity had spent the remainder of the day talking and playing cards in Yugi's room, though Serenity hadn't mentioned anything about what had happened between her and Duke or the fact that she had ran into Seto yet again.
Yugi could tell that when Serenity had entered the shop earlier that something was troubling her, yet he still hadn't asked her about it because he didn't want to spoil the good time they were having.
"Hey Serenity, can I ask you something?" Yugi asked wanting to know what was bothering her, and he figured that she had came to him for advice and so far he seemed to have tried to avert the problem.
"Yeah sure Yugi, what's up?" Serenity asked him curiously.
"Well I just wanted to ask you something because it seems like the whole time you've been here you've been acting really quiet. At first I thought that it was something I might have said, but than I remembered that when you came here earlier I could tell that something was bothering you, and I just didn't want to ask and ruin the fun time we were having, but I guess that's selfish of me isn't it?" Yugi muttered as he stared down at the ground.
"That's not being selfish at all it's actually kind of sweet. My intentions were that once I got here I'd spill out all of my problems to you. As though they were for you to fix but that's being selfish." Serenity explained sadly staring down at the ground ashamed.
"Serenity its okay I'm just glad you feel that you can trust me enough to let me in. So go ahead please and tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can try and fix it or at least make it better." Yugi suggested softly as he lifted her chin up so that she was staring up into his eyes.
Serenity just smiled at this as she felt Yugi's hand touch her cheek softly. "Yeah that maybe true, but it can wait until later or until tomorrow, since it will only depress me if I bring it up now, but I do appreciate that you want to be there for me as my friend." Serenity explained happily as she squeezed his hand gently.
Yugi was relieved that Serenity trusted him as much as he trusted her, though he had to look away at hearing that he was only a friend to her. When deep down he was having feelings as though he was starting to feel as though he liked Serenity as more than a friend, though he was just unsure on how to go about it, he didn't want to embarrass either one of them by jumping into anything.
'Why did he suddenly go quiet as though he went into his own little world? I hope he wasn't expecting me to ruin the fun day we ended up having by telling him that I was humiliated by Seto yet again.' Serenity thought bitterly to herself as she stared at Yugi waiting for him to say something.
Yugi could feel Serenity staring at him as though she was waiting for him to say something, but he wasn't quite sure what to say. "..." Yugi just stared at his hands trying to think of something clever to say. 'Damn it why would I think something that complicated would be so easy to go about doing?' Yugi thought to himself in frustration as he felt Serenity place her hand over his using her other hand to lift his chin up so that he was staring up at her.
"Yugi are you sure there's something that you want to share with me?" Serenity suggested as Yugi shook his head no to this not trusting himself to speak.
"Yugi don't lie to me I can see it in your eyes, you want to ask me something but don't know how. If you try giving me a hint as to what it is it won't seem as bad." Serenity suggested as she offered him a comforting smile.
Yugi was quiet to this; he wasn't expecting to tell her so soon like this. Hs hands started shaking as he held them tightly in his lap his short fingernails digging into the soft flesh of his palm leaving small red lines on his palms.
"Yugi…" Serenity asked him uncertainty wanting to know what was troubling so much but he still hadn't told her anything, sp there was really no way for her to help him.
"Can we just drop it for now?" Yugi pleaded in a small voice as Serenity just smiled at this unsure of what to say hoping that he was alright she nodded her head yes to this.
Yugi smiled in relief and was about to say something when he felt Serenity's hand slid into his stopping him from the assault he was giving both his hands. "Maybe I should tell you why I came here earlier I wasn't lying I did come here to hang out with you knowing that just being around you makes me feel safe." Serenity started to explain as Yugi blushed lightly at this.
"I found this psychic article online about how people use different emotions to hide what they're feeling inside and it made sense. I mean take my brother for example anytime he sees a guy talking to me he gets upset and starts a fight because he thinks they might hurt me." Serenity continued as she rolled her eyes at this before staring back at Yugi.
"So I went to the park to clear my head and try and think of other examples to try and make some sense out of what I had read and I ran into him again Yugi, but this time he wasn't alone he was with a little boy." Serenity explained confused.
"You mean Seto you ran into him at the park?" Yugi asked her curiously as Serenity just nodded her head yes to this. "Oh well the little boy that was with him is his younger brother Mokuba." Yugi explained as Serenity just looked at Yugi as though she didn't believe what he had just said.
"But they act nothing alike are you sure they're related?" Serenity asked him curiously as Yugi just smiled at this trying not to laugh as he shook his head yes to this.
And than Serenity remembered what Seto had said to her before he had left though surprised and shocked by how close he had been to her and the threat he had made she hadn't even heard him talk about the other boy until now the angry words barely a whisper in her ear.
(You're lucky my little brother is here Wheeler, or who knows what I could get away with. Don't worry though you'll get what you deserve for insulating me like that soon enough.) Serenity shuddered at this as Yugi waited for her to continue with her story.
'I wonder though could he actually go through with it I mean all it really was was a simple threat. That doesn't necessarily mean he'd act on it does it?' she thought to herself curiously at remembering how tightly he had grabbed both of her wrists to make her stare up at him.
Yugi had scooted closer to her as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders feeling her stiffen at the sudden sign of affection. "Yugi he threatened me... he... he hurt me." Serenity confessed resting her head against Yugi's shoulder surprisingly it was somehow comforting to her.
"What exactly did he say to you Serenity?" Yugi asked her in concern wondering if she had said something to provoke Seto enough to threaten her.
"Well we were yelling at one another when he grabbed me by the wrists really hard and said that I'd get what I deserved for insulating him soon enough." Serenity explained rubbing her wrists remembering the painful grip Seto had had on her.
'That does sound like something Seto would do, though I wonder what Serenity said that upset him, since sometimes Serenity tends to act stubborn just like Kaiba.' Yugi thought to himself amused.
"If you don't mind me asking Serenity, but what exactly did you say to him that might be the reason as to what Kaiba did." Yugi suggested quickly as she looked up at him coldly.
"Are you trying to say that I brought it upon myself?" Serenity spat at Yugi angrily but he just smiled at this shaking his head no as she sighed in relief.
"That's not what I'm implying at all Serenity it's just that I've seen Kaiba go off on others for something worse, so I'm just wondering what you said to provoke him is all." Yugi explained though he was about to say something else but kept this to himself.
'And knowing Kaiba he'll make go on his threat, though it was probably more like a promise, since his threats are never idle.' Yugi thought to himself as he waited for Serenity's response.
"I told him that he makes it seem as though I'm not good enough for him, and that I shouldn't waste my time trying to get through to a selfish jerk like him, though I think what really pissed him off was that I told him that the only person that doesn't see him for the monster that he is is his brother and that it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to him." Serenity whispered almost ready to burst into tears.
"It's okay Serenity I know you didn't mean it you were just upset, though I can see why he got upset if he thought that his brother was being thrown into the middle of it." Yugi pointed out gently making the tears stream down her face even stronger for she knew that she had sealed her own fate and wondered what Kaiba would do to her.
"Shh… don't cry I promise I won't let anything happen to you plus there are plenty of other people that are here to protect you." Yugi whispered wiping the tears off of her face with his thumb tilting her head up to face his.
"I know it's just that I feel stupid that I said it is all." she admitted as her bright eyes met his and she couldn't help but smile weakly at this and before she knew it their lips had met in a gentle kiss.
Yugi had pulled away abruptly as his face turned bright red brushing deeply at this. Serenity was surprised at how he had reacted to it she thought that this was what he had wanted.
Serenity had excused herself after seeing what time it was saying that she had to get home and that she was thankful for Yugi's help and that she had enjoyed the time they had spent together, though once she was outside it had started to rain matching her emotions that seemed to swirl around inside of her.
'I don't understand he kept giving me all these mixed signals and than he kisses me. I thought he liked me, yet why did he react like that as though my lips had burned him?' she asked herself as she brought a finger to her lips before bowing her head sadly staring at the muddy ground below her.
She had blocked out her other surroundings around her as she headed to walk home not realizing that she had passed the park and was now walking past Kaiba Corp as a familiar figure was headed outside to wait for their limo…
Blue piercing eyes stared up at the sky lost in thought. When they had headed back to Kaiba Corp Mokuba had asked him several questions in an attempt to try and figure out who the girl he was talking to was, though Kaiba had refused to answer any of them telling Mokuba that she was a student from school and that had seemed to satisfy him for now.
He sighed now as tiny raindrops fell upon his face soaking his short brown hair and causing his black trench coat to stick to his skin as he stood there unaffected by the rain. Though his eyes narrowed at seeing the familiar girl walking past Kaiba Corp, her gentle eyes glued to the ground as her damp auburn hair covered her face.
"Can't seem to keep away from me can you Wheeler? Tell me, did you come this way to apologize?" he asked her coldly laughing at this as she had ignored him trying to keep walking as though she hadn't heard him over the howling winds.
Seto figured she hadn't heard him as he took a few long strides until he was standing in front of her blocking her path as he grabbed her by the shoulders gently forcing her to look up into his dark piercing blue eyes.
She seemed to flinch at this not even seeing him approach her, and his touch seemed to lessen slightly as he tried asking her his question again. "I said-" he started to repeat himself when she tried to push him away from her.
"I heard you, though the answer is no I was simply passing through, now if you don't excuse me I'd like to continue on my way before I catch a cold from this weather." she explained gently her voice barely audible over the howling winds.
Seto just smirked at this as he grabbed her wrists dragging her inside the building before she could protest. "There now you have no reason to run away from me when I'm talking to you." he muttered as Serenity just shot him a dirty look trying to pry her wrists free from his gentle grip, but he just tightened it causing her to whimper out in pain.
Her bright green eyes widened in pain as her knees had given out on her as she collapsed to the floor as Seto just continued to stare down at her his eyes sparkling as an idea had occurred to him. He knelt down beside her as he scooped her up in his arms carrying her bridal style as he led her to a small love seat setting her down on it as he sat on the edge of it facing her.
"Looks like we're both stuck here, and it might be awhile before the storm will clear up." Kaiba said simply as Serenity sighed at this in annoyance not wanting to be trapped in a room with Kaiba.
"So are you going to keep me captive here or do I at least get a say in the matter?" Serenity asked him angrily as Seto just glared at this.
"No I'm trying to do you a favor, though if you'd like to try walking in the storm be my guest, though don't blame me if I don't try and stop you from leaving." he explained as he opened up the laptop next to him as he opened up an email and began typing away totally ignoring Serenity's presence.
Serenity was grateful to this for she didn't have anything to say to his comment as she stared in his direction watching him type on the computer his hands flying across the keys. "So… what made you think that I had come here to apologize?" Serenity asked him quietly after she could no longer stand the awkward silence that had fallen between them.
Seto sighed at this as he had sent the email to Mokuba explaining to him what was going on before he shut the lap op and had looked over in her direction. "Simple you didn't seem like the type of person that is capable of making a threat and actually going through with it. Besides, even if you were I don't believe in hitting a woman." he explained smirking at this.
Serenity shot him a dirty look at this. "So than why did you say that you'd come after me if you weren't fazed by what I had said?" Serenity asked him angrily though he just laughed at this.
"I don't know I guess to watch the reaction on your face, besides I had to put you in your place to teach you a lesson that those that try and make threats with Seto Kaiba doesn't get away with it." he explained smirking at this at seeing her eyes narrow into slits at this.
"Why not I mean I don't want to start up something, but I'm just curious I would of never thought that you set rules and boundaries for any situation, yet you act as though you can get away with anything." Serenity muttered quietly as Kaiba had just sighed at this.
"That's because I can, though like I said before Wheeler I don't believe in hitting woman because it's just wrong. Besides I wouldn't want to recreate any bad memories for you." Kaiba whispered as Serenity's green eyes widened in surprise at this.
"I don't know what you're talking about, though sadly I wish more people would share the same beliefs as you there are some people that will take every and any opportunity to take advantage of a defenseless woman." Serenity explained trying to act as though what Kaiba said was just a mere coincidence and that he knew nothing of how close to the truth he really was.
Kaiba smirked at this realizing that he must have hit a nerve because Serenity just continued to silently stare at the ground lost in thought. He reached his hand out resting it on her shoulder knowing exactly the type of reaction he'd get out of his gentle gesture. Her head had snapped up as she shoved his hand away from her as though he had burned her somehow.
"I'm sure you're right on that one though you make it seem as though you actually have some personal first hand experience with the situation." Kaiba pointed out softly as Serenity glared at him praying that he didn't know of her darkest secrets that she'd rather wise to keep to herself.
"And how the hell would you know that you hardly know me, so what gives you the right to act as though you do when we both know that you could care less?" Serenity spat at him angrily as she stood up having had enough of having to take his crap.
Seto just smirked at this his face remaining emotionless as he watched her stand up, since he was about to ask what she was doing, but thought otherwise. "You're right, though why should I care about a complete stranger such as yourself?" he muttered coldly as Serenity faced the two sliding double doors that led back outside.
"Oh yeah and here I was almost forgetting how conceited you are, tell me Kaiba, why is it so hard for someone such as yourself to feel compassion for others? It's not like you have anything to lose other than your arrogant self righteous reputation." Serenity whispered bitterly before she headed outside into the pouring rain.
"Good at least I got her to leave why should I care if she ends up getting sick in the process? Though she did have a point why should I push her away when she's not after my money or my company unlike everyone else?" Seto ended up thinking as he cursed out loud to on one in particular as he threw his trench coat back on before he headed outside into the rain after her.
"Why did I even try talking to him it's like talking to a brick wall." Serenity thought to herself bitterly as she wrapped her arms tighter around her waist trying to ignore her trembling body as the cold was starting to get to her. After walking for about twenty minutes when she had to stop and catch her breath.
Though unknown to her Seto had already caught up to her and was hiding in the shadows watching her feeble attempts to try and cope with the cold rain soaking through her clothing.
He was about to regret coming after her and retreat back to Kaiba Corp when he noticed that she had stopped and was barely able to stand up straight and was trembling from the cold.
Seto couldn't help but feel sorry for her as he walked up behind her wrapping his strong arms around her as he stripped off his trench coat as he laid it around her shoulders hoping that it would protect her from the rain. Luckily it had at least stopped her from trembling as she sucked in large amounts of air as she tried to steady her breathing.
Serenity had to fight the urge to struggle against him and shove him away from her, though his gentle touch was some what comforting and she soon found herself surrounded by warmth and the faint smell of soap and lavender shampoo, it seemed to comfort her as she had finally calmed down.
"T-Thank you, though why? Y-you didn't have to do any of this." Serenity whispered waving her arm to gesture to the generosity of his gentle nature.
"So you would rather prefer to have gotten sick or worse died from this intolerable weather?" Seto asked her coldly as he tried to lead her but to Kaiba Corp, but she weakly shoved him away from her, not wanting to be trapped in a stranger environment with him yet again.
"Why not it's better than being stuck with a monster like you." Serenity snapped back at him as he just glared at this as he smirked coldly at watching her wrap the trench coat tighter around her petite form.
"The world is full of monsters what makes you think that I stand out from all the rest?" Kaiba asked her bitterly as she tried to shoot him a dirty look but her trembling form made it fail making him smirk at her feeble attempt.
"Yes but unlike all the rest they at least are nice deep down inside, though you seem different as though no heart could exist in your cold exterior yet I'm sure you could still find some way to survive." Serenity whispered as she stared at the ground shocked by her own harsh words.
"What makes you think so harshly of me Wheeler is it because you're trying to hide the fact that despite what everyone else thinks of me you try so desperately to seek my approval of you? It's rather pathetic if you ask me, though yet highly amusing at the same time." Kaiba muttered as he stepped closer towards her causing his intoxicating scent to overwhelm her.
"Please do not flatter yourself on my behalf I was merely trying to be civil to you, but clearly I can see that it is another part of human nature that you will never seem to master. Tell me Kaiba do you enjoy pissing off other people or do you just have a natural talent for it?" Serenity asked him coldly as she removed the trench coat from around her shoulders thrusting it in his direction.
Trying to ignore whatever cruel comment Seto would say in response to this Serenity had tried taking a few steps away from him thinking that she had regained her composure only to fall to the ground as her knees had given out on her.
Seto stared at this as he watched her try and walk away from him in amusement only to watch her stumble before falling to the ground in a muddy heap coughing as the cold muddy water had soaked through her clothing.
Serenity could still feel Seto watching her as she coughed harshly as she pushed herself up into a sitting position feeling the cold starting to have an affect on her. She tried to stand up only to fall once more before she was able to push herself up and stand to her feet weakly.
Serenity looked up to see Seto still standing there a cocky grin on his face as she shot him a dirty look. "Why are you still here if you think so lowly of me? If your intentions are to rub it in my face on how much you think you're above me than you can shove them up your ass because I don't care." Serenity snapped as she slowly started to walk away from him towards her house.
To the girl's relief Kaiba had watched her walk away but had lost interest in following her as he had turned around to head back to Kaiba Corp where there was a limo finally waiting for him.
Once Serenity had entered the shabby apartment she shared with her elder brother Joey she shut the door behind her and had leaned against it as a sigh of relief had escaped her lips. "Ren is that you?" her brother called out making Serenity jump at hearing her brother's voice suddenly beside her.
"Yeah sorry I got caught in the storm I'm going to go take a quick shower and get changed." Serenity explained softly sensing her brother's concern for her well being at seeing her attire soaked and that her long auburn hair was matted and sticking to her flesh.
"Hold up a sec Ren I was worried sick about you." he pointed out in concern crossing his arms over his chest as though waiting for an explanation.
"I know but can I please get changed first before I freeze to death and than you can drill me with whatever questions you have." Serenity suggested not waiting for him to respond as she walked past him to her small room striping off her wet clothes as she got in the shower.
The hot water seemed to relieve her slightly yet her mind still seemed engrossed with the incident with Kaiba. "He seemed to almost care for my well being but why? Probably to use it to boat his own ego, and what was up with Duke I seriously thought he would have tried molesting me if I hadn't woken up in time." she thought miserably to herself as she ran her fingers through her tangled locks resting her head against the shower wall.
It seemed as though Serenity had lost herself in her own thoughts as the water in the shower had started to grow cold but it didn't seem to snap her out of her thoughts. A loud knock on the opposite side of the door had snapped her out of her thoughts hearing Joey's voice coming from the hallway outside the bathroom door.
"Are you alright sis you've been in there for two hours." he yelled out in concern as Serenity sighed rolling her eyes upon hearing this.
"Yeah I'm fine I'll be out in a few minutes." Serenity called out her answer seemed to have satisfied him as she turned the shower off and had wrapped a white towel around her petite form. Goosebumps had appeared on her arms and legs as she sighed knowing full well that the sight of it would only make Joey worry even more.
Shrugging it off as nothing she pulled on a snug navy pull over hoodie and a pair of black sweat pants to suit her groggy mood. She had brushed out her wet locks pulling her long hair into a high ponytail pushing her hair out of her eyes before stepping back out into the living room.
Joey had handed her a hot cup of coffee as she smiled taking a sip of it eagerly letting the hot mug warm her cold hands. "So do ya feel better now sis?" he asked her in concern as he took a seat beside her on the sofa. Serenity merely shook her head yes taking another sip of the got liquid.
Serenity seemed intent on staring inside the white glass mug in her hands that featured a logo of one of the many duel monster cards her brother had. She didn't know what to say nor did she want to tell Joey that she had ran into Seto Kaiba.
"Ya seem exhausted how about you try getting some sleep and we'll talk more about it in the morning?" Joey suggested as Serenity smiled in relief as she finished the rest of her drink handing Joey the empty mug.
He could tell that whatever was troubling his younger sister she seemed reluctant to share it with him. He figured he might have better luck getting Mai to talk to her than bombarding her with his questions.
Serenity was surprised by her brother's sudden change of behavior but wasn't going to question it. "Maybe this just means that he's going to try getting Yugi or Mai to ask me what it is, though if that's the case than it's only a waste of time because I know that whatever I tell Mai will only stay between the two of us." she thought to herself as she settled down to sleep…
It seemed like any other strange dream she has experienced in the last few weeks though only this time it seemed as though it was the aftermath of the event and everything had returned back to normal, yet she was still a slave to the hooded man.
"What's wrong you seem troubled by something?" a familiar voice whispered in her ear causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end. She tried to look around her for a trace of whoever was speaking to her but only a cloaked figure and strong blue eyes met her gentle green orbs.
"You don't trust me and you wish to know my name is this correct Serenity?" he asked softly mischief shinning in his blue eyes. Serenity nodded at this as she felt the shackles around her wrists be removed.
"Well I would rather offer you wings of freedom than give away my identity in fear as though you'll think that your ears have deceived you." he explained softly as he placed a long gentle kiss on her lips.
Serenity seemed frozen in her spot as she clung to the tall silhouette in front of her not wanting to be separated from the stranger. "I understand you're motives but please do not leave me defenseless against the monsters of this world." she begged him softly as bitter tears had spilled down her cheeks.
"Don't be afraid you're stronger than you think Serenity just remember this when you think that all is lost think of nothing but me and I will be there to comfort you." he explained as Serenity stared puzzled at his strange words making him smirk upon seeing it.
She pouted trying to figure out what he might have meant when darkness seemed to surround her. She could feel the hard wood floor brush against her cheek as she pushed herself up into a sitting position as her eyes blinked open. Once her eyes were adjusted to the dark room she sighed realizing that it was just another dream.
"Did the cold weather make me sick and the dream was a mere recollection of my mind slipping into insanity?" she asked herself out loud as she slipped on her white and blue sneakers and had lifted up her bedroom window.
She stuck her head out the window sensing that it was no longer raining as she jumped out onto the fire escape climbing the ladder down to the landing. She smirked at seeing that she hadn't woken Joey up as she headed towards the park…
Seto had gotten home pretty late and Mokuba was already sound asleep when he had gotten home. "Well at least he was able to be safe from the storm. I mean if Serenity seemed sick only being in it for a few minutes there was no way Mokuba's small body would have survived without getting sick." Seto thought to himself as he dragged his tired limbs to his office.
He had stripped out of his wet clothes before grabbing a new black t0shirt along with a pair of black jeans as he merely glanced in annoyance at the pile of paperwork that had piled up while he was away. "Damn it I'm only gone for a few hours and look what happens I only get buried more in paperwork." he thought bitterly as he ran his hand through his short black hair still damp from the storm.
He had finally decided to get to work as he sat in the black leather chair behind his desk as his tired blue eyes scanned the documents in front of him. It seemed as though he had been sitting there for hours as he rested his head in his hands as his eyes had half closed before he had passed out from exhaustion…
A few hours later he was aroused by feeling someone try and shake him awake as the early morning rays of light were shinning on his face. "Big brother are you alright?" Mokuba asked once he notice Seto slowly blink open his eyes seeing his younger brother's concerned face.
"Yeah I'll be fine just tired I guess what time is it?" Seto asked him curiously as he tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
"Almost six o'clock bet I figured that if I got you up early than you wouldn't have an excuse not to come with me. Remember you said yesterday that we would go to the park." Mokuba pointed out his long raven black curls still in a mess.
Not feeling up to hearing his brother whine he merely nodded his head in agreement as he couldn't help but smirk at seeing the excited look on Mokuba's face. "Let me get a shower first and than we'll go alright?" Seto pointed out hoping that a hot shower and some coffee would help wake him up.
Mokuba nodded at this as he hurried to leave the room running downstairs to watch some T.V while waiting for Seto to get ready. Once Seto had taken a quick shower he had changed into a short sleeved black silk shirt along with the jeans he had thrown on earlier as he grabbed his black trench coat and had headed downstairs to make himself some coffee. Once he had finished he seemed a little more awake but still felt groggy and could tell that there were bags under his deep blue eyes.
He didn't seem to care as he allowed Mokuba to drag him towards the limo that was waiting for them outside as it dropped them off at the local park taking only ten minutes to get there.
Before the limo even had a chance to stop and allow the two Kaiba brothers out Mokuba was already running excitedly towards the playground as Seto watched in amusement before stepping out of the limo as well to follow him…
It had only taken Serenity a few minutes to walk to the park as the night breeze seemed to play with her long damp hair that she had pulled back in a low ponytail placing her hood up to keep it from whipping into her eyes.
She was relieved to see that the park was deserted and that there was no one there to bother her. "I wonder how long it will take before Joey notices that I'm gone? Oh well at least it will give me a little bit of time before he comes looking for me." she whispered to herself smirking lightly as she pulled out her sketch book idly drawing in it trying to sort out the various thoughts running through her head.
"I still don't get it every time I have a dream about this mystery man it always seems as though I already know his identity somehow, but than again how is that possible when I cant even see his face?" she thought to herself sketching out the intense blue eyes that always seemed so full of life.
Her thoughts did little to ease her troubled mind all it did was make her think of Kaiba. "I should apologize for how I was acting towards him even if he did deserve it, yet why do I get the strange impression that he was trying to protect me from the storm?" she muttered softly deciding to stand up and walk aimlessly around the park.
As a result she had ended up even closer to Kaiba Corps seeing for once how close she lived near Kaiba making her smirk in amusement. "I wonder if it's just a small city or something because there's no way Joey would choose to live so close to the one person he can't stand." she thought quietly.
She closed her eyes briefly stretching out on the park bench finding it difficult to keep her eyes open. "I'll only rest here a few minutes than go home I guess trying to sort that guy out can wore out anyone." she thought smirking at this as she pulled off her hoodie balling it up as she stuck it underneath her head to use it as a pillow as she fell asleep…
