By: Shari Cooper

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Main Pairing: Seto Kaiba (18) and Serenity Wheeler (16)

Other Pairings: Joey Wheeler (18) and Mai Valentine (18), Zane Truesdale (17) and Alexis Rhodes (15)

Summary: Sequel to "Falling In Love With You All Over Again". Seto Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba and Serenity Wheeler-Kaiba have just moved to Duelist Academy. Mokuba isn't getting along to well with Atticus Rhodes because he keeps hitting on Serenity. But Serenity thinks he's just a sweet boy willing to help her. And to make it worse for Mokuba, he falls for Alexis's good looks… sadly he's a little too late, since Zane Truesdale got there first.

"You have reached the Wheeler residence please leave your name, number, and a short message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Serenity sighed she hadn't been able to get a hold of Joey all day.

"Serenity… do I have to do my homework right now?" Mokuba complained poking holes in his notebook.

"Yes Seto wants it done."

"Fine, fine…" Mokuba said yawning. "When are we going to leave?"

"It'll be another three months at most." Serenity said sighing. She set the phone down and sat next to Mokuba at the kitchen island.

The phone rang and Serenity grabbed it in a hurry, hoping it was Joey.

"Serenity? Is Mokuba with you?" Kaiba asked sounding very concerned.

"Yes of course he is. He's doing his homework, why what's wrong?"

"Yugi just called seems that… Joey's gone. Yugi thinks its Malik on another on of his 'take over the world' rampages."

"WHAT?"

"Calm down Serenity… I'll find him."

"What no, we're going to go find him. I know someone who can take care of Mokuba while we're gone."

"Serenity are you sure? It could be really dangerous."

"This is my brother we're talking about, of course I'm sure."

"All right well then tell whoever this person is to call my office phone on land. I'll most likely get the call then."

"All right. See you in a few minutes."

"Who was that Serenity?" Mokuba asked.

"Seto. Look you're going to have to stay with a friend of mine okay?"

"Who?"

"Well he's not really a friend… but well okay it's Chazz…"

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"No look Mokuba Joey's gone missing and I've got to go find him! Please just… go will you?"

"All right…"

Serenity gave him a hug. "Let's go." Serenity said grabbing her coat and his she rushed out the door.

"Now… if I remember right he lives in Slifer Red…" Serenity knocked on Jaden's door.

"Hi!" Jaden said opening the door.

"Where's Chazz?" Serenity asked in a hurry.

"Right here—SERENITY!" Chazz said hopping off Jaden's bed.

"Look stop talking for a minute would you?" Serenity asked pulling Mokuba into the room. "My brother's gone missing and I have to go with Seto to go find him. I can't take Mokuba because it might be dangerous. So will you take care of him while I'm gone?"

"Sure we will!" Jaden said happily. Chazz glared at him. "Do I have to?"

"Yes! Thanks!" Serenity said rushing out of the room.

Serenity sat next to Kaiba on his plane. "Serenity do you know how to duel?"

"A little." Serenity said shrugging.

"Look if someone asks you to duel tell them to ask me instead, it seems that Dartz is back with his little DOOM team… we don't know who's in it. And we're not really sure that it's Dartz… all we know is that the Orichalos is back."

"Oh now I'm excited." Serenity said in an overly sarcastic voice.

"Yeah… I know…" Kaiba said taking her hand. "I'm sorry about the mutt."

"It's not your fault…" Serenity murmured a tear sliding down her cheek.

Kaiba brushed the tear away, "Don't cry…" He said nuzzling her cheek. "I love you Serenity and I'll do everything in my power to get the mutt back for you."

Serenity had to chuckle. "Thank you…" She said kissing him.

"You're Serenity's son? You don't look like her…" Chazz said walking around Mokuba. Mokuba just stared at Chazz like he was crazy.

"I'm not her son, I'm Seto's brother."

"She said you were her son…"

"Yeah well she says that a lot."

"Oh good so I'll be the first one to have her!" Chazz said happily.

"You're just disgusting." Mokuba said making a face.

"Don't you have homework or something to do?"

"Nope."

"Damn…."

"Hey kid do you duel?" Zane asked he was sitting next to Atticus.

"Yeah."

"Really… wanna duel?" Zane asked.

"I don't have my desk with me. It's with my brother."

"I see. When they get back I want to duel you."

"That's fine with me."

"Oh can I duel him too?" Jaden asked.

"I don't see why I can't duel both of you. It could be fun." Mokuba said shrugging.

"All right then it's settled at soon at Kaiba comes back I'll duel you. And then after that you can duel Jaden."

"Awesome. I'll look forward to a duel with the younger brother of Seto Kaiba one of the highest ranked duelist!" Jaden said jumping in the air.

"I'm not as good at my brother but I'm almost as good at Joey Wheeler the 3rd ranked duelist."

"Oh yeah that kid… I remember seeing him on T.V once!" Chazz said scratching his head.

Is it just me or is my writing getting worse? Oh well…. See y'all.
