Diclaimer: I don't own Yugioh.

Chapter two: The Antihero.

The sight was quite unexpected, and hardly anyone could accept it as the truth. There, in the middle of the street; stood a man of great power, success, and an ego to go with it. There was no mistaking it, it was Seto Kaiba, the CEO of the most renown company in the entire world. Better yet, in his arms layed a delicate young girl. There was something highly odd about this picture..

The people talked amongst themselves. Trying to make sense of the unlikely event. Whispers were all about as the crowd pondered the display ahead. Soon, there was full out gossip. Comments such as,"They must be dating." Could be heard all around the Plaza. The group seemed delighted with the thought that the cold business man had finally managed to have found himself a girlfriend.

However, not everyone was as pleased with the idea of the two being intimate. One person in particular, was an extremely pissed off older brother.

Joey's blood was at a boil, his eyes harbored intense rage, and his knuckles were white as snow. Until all at once, the blonde just exploded. "That's it! THIS FREAK SHOW IS OVER!" Joey angrily shouted toward the ranting crowd. They looked at him as if he had gone insane. Suddenly bored with the entire situation, the people walked along like nothing had happened. Everyone began to disappear until only Yugi's group had remained.

Joey fearlessly marched up to Kaiba until they were face to face. Kaiba always taunted Joey, and drove him to his breaking point. But this time it was different.. this was no game, this was his sister. Kaiba could mock him all he wanted, but when it came to his sister it was personal.

"Get your filthy hands off of her!" Joey exclaimed. He was not messing around, he demanded Serenity be released.

Kaiba seemed unaffected, he looked on into the distance. Why was he here exactly? It didn't dawn on him what was going on, until he realized he was holding something. His eyes examined the unconscious form. That's right, it was because of her.

Flashback.

Today was like any other day in the life of Seto Kaiba. He had skipped breakfast, finished his written document, ignored his phone calls, dropped Mokuba off at school, and now he was stuck in the back of his limo in the middle of traffic.. Indeed. This was definitely just another day. Except the delay was starting to irritate him. Being head of a multimillion dollar company was no easy task. Time was very valuable, the loss of a few minutes could be the loss of thousands of dollars. Which was unforgivable in the eyes of the young CEO. He always wanted to come out on top.

Being apathetic toward the conditions, Kaiba spoke up to his driver."Listen, if you are unsuitable for this position. I can always have you scrub floors you know." He said sarcastically.

From hearing that, the driver's heart skipped a beat."M-My deepest apologies sir, but I'm afraid there is nothing I can do in all this traffic." The driver knew that his answer would not be accepted. If they weren't moving soon, it would cost him his job. Which would make him the fourth Chauffeur to be fired in the last two months.

This was not what Kaiba wanted to hear. It looked like he would have to clarify for this fool."If we aren't at the office within ten minutes. You'll be asked to leave." Kaiba remarked coldly. Toying was useful in the arena while dueling, but when it came to his corporation it was strictly business. Even his driver was not excluded.

"Y-Yes sir." Feeling hesitant, the driver started perspiring. But that was not uncommon, anyone would agree working for Kaiba was something that brought anguish. Many formal employees would even say it was something close to torture.

"I won't repeat myself again." Kaiba warned him. Almost out of boredom Kaiba was staring out a nearby window. He settled himself and took in the view. The limousine started moving at a faster speed, but not by much. He watched casually until something caught his eye. A distorted figure was in the street. He couldn't really make out what it was at first, but something about it seemed life like. As the vehicle continued forward the light shone revealing the unknown figure.

It was a girl.. but not just any girl. He recognized her from somewhere, but he couldn't quite remember where. Her head rested on her knees as she sat in a closed position. Had she lost it? People would always speed on these streets. The girl would certaintly go unnoticed. Almost using instinct, Kaiba was out of the vehicle. It was unusual for Kaiba to not do an analytical assessment on a problem. But this seemed different..

(With Serenity)

"I'm blacking out.. maybe Joey was right." Serenity was starting to see that maybe it had been a mistake to come out today. She was a gentle spirit, with a captivating smile. There was just something about her that attracted people to her. A lot of it could be explained from her kind and helpful nature. She always did what she could to appeal others, even at her own expense.

However, this time, she was regretting it. She could feel her knees burning, and her body weakening by the minute. Her strength was lessening to the point that she could not pick herself back up. As much of an attractive person she was, there were times when she did not believe in herself. This was one of those times.

"I'm sorry Joey.." Were her final thoughts before she almost lost total consciousness. But before she could give up she felt herself.. flying? Yes. She was flying in a strong embrace. Question was, who was saving her? She lifted her gaze to see who it was, but the sunlight made it hard to see. But she wasn't frightened by him, infact, she felt secure being in his arms. She didn't understand these feelings that were coming over her, but whoever he was, Serenity now felt she had an obligation toward him. "Thank you.. my hero." Serenity thought before blacking out.

End of Flashback.

"Well, rich boy? What do you have to say for yourself!" The blonde said bringing the CEO back to reality.

"Hmph.. how about you use that head of yours for once." Kaiba replied cooly. He didn't have time for this, it happened so quick he had trouble believing it himself. Luckily, no one was paying attention to him when he had rescued the girl.

"Why I odda.. give me back my-"

"Here." Kaiba interrupted. Swiftly handing her over to her older brother.

"Serenity.." Joey's expression softened. He knew she was sick, but he didn't think she was in such bad shape. He felt horrible, what kind of brother was he?

"She'll be fine, Wheeler." Kaiba responded. He realized he'd been playing the good guy for far too long. He had a business to attend to, and he had a reputation to uphold. With a final "Hmph." He turned to walked away.

Before he could disappear into the distance. Serenity opened her eyes to see his retreating figure. Though she was sick, her eyes held a sparkle to them. It was her hero, Seto Kaiba was her hero. He may have lacked the qualities that a hero possessed. But in spite of that, he had still saved her. It was true that he had appeared cold and emotionless at times, but Serenity knew there was a heart somewhere inside him. The heart of the man she was so honored to call a hero.
