The Battle of Love
Chapter Four: Everyone Cares
By: Serenity Takaishi

--At Park--

Serenity paced back and forth beside a big oak tree. This is where her and Akira always meet, it was special to them... It was where they'd meet each other, and had their first kiss under the long, stemmed out branches. Serenity thought for a moment sitting down. She placed for forehead on her knees and began to sob.

FlashBack

"Well, Serenity, how's this for our second date?" Akira looked down at his girlfriend and saw her eyes closed. "After all that... You took me to a park? It's beautiful," Serenity answered, a smile across her face.

"I'm assuming that's a good thing?" Akira said, sitting beside her, her plopping her head on his lap. "You do know what happens when you assume, right?" She asked opening her eyes. "Yes," Akira nodded, "It makes an ass out of you and me... Haha, hilarious!" His warm smile stared down at Serenity, giving her the warmth see needed after the wind had picked up and all she had on was a bikini an Daisy Dukes. She snuggled closer to him shutting her eyes once more. "You cold?" He asked wrapping his arms around her. Serenity of course didn't answer, he'd do the I told you thing like every other dip shit guy, or anybody, would.

"Wait, how come it's both of us?" She leaned up against his chest. "It's usually the person assuming, isn't it?" Serenity propped her head up to see his smirk staring back at her. "You little dippy," He said rolling his eyes and poking her. "What, I'm just curious--- Hey, that tickles--" She answered giggling. "Well, curiosity killed the cat," Akira started tickling her more and more. Then they were rolling on the ground like two little children wrestling.

A serious look came across her face, "So you want me dead...?" She asked her tone emotionless, her eyes as hard as ice. Akira just looked at her, figuring whether to believe her or not. So he just gave the same look back. Suddenly, Serenity attacked him, jumping full force at him. This time, it was her getting him... "You know you should never let your enemy see you off guard, especially if they're pulling you leg," Serenity smiled, feeling the chilling wind against her bare back. "alright, I give," Akira gave in laying on the ground. Serenity didn't get off him, she just peered into his deep, ever lasting purple eyes.

Slowly, Serenity leaned in, Akira, hurting his neck, leaned in as well... Then, they kissed, feeling as if she'd floated away, Serenity didn't feel the chill anymore. I guess the warmth of love filled not only her heart, but her entire body...

End FlashBack

Remembering the sensation of that day, Serenity only had pain in her heart and misery in her eyes. 'What if he never forgives me? I thought I loved him! But he wouldn't blow me off before our "official" break up... Akira's more honorable than that. He's not a emotionless, dumb ass, shit-faced dick head like Kaiba!' Serenity was taken aback by her language, she was surprised she thought of that. Still slightly shocked, she shook her head. At the same time she heard a crack of thunder. Then she felt a light sprinkle.

She buried her face deeper into her knees when she felt the rain start to pour down on her back. "No," she cried not realizing how bad her sobbing had become. "I guess I should apologize..." she heard a voice and knew who it was, she popped her head up and gave a slight smile to him. But, she was greeted with painful, apologetic eyes. "Akira... It's not your fault, don't be like that," Serenity noticed the umbrella in his hand.

Akira must have seen her looking because he put the umbrella over her head. "Need a hand?" He asked reaching down, trying to help her up. Serenity wiped her eyes and took his hand, thankful he wasn't to mad... But she saw the hurt behind his dark purple eyes.

"OK, Akira, how am I supposed to start this out?" She asked them now walking under the orange umbrella. the click, dlip, dlick, sound soothed Serenity's nerves. And boy, was she nervous! "..." Akira said nothing, so for a few minutes they walked in silence.

"Well, let me start out like this..." Serenity stopped looking into Akira's eyes. "I've never felt this way about anybody, not in my whole life! I wouldn't break up with you if my life depended on it. And if I was to break this relationship up, it'd be because I've found someone I loved more than you, or that you found someone else to satisfy your time..."

Serenity paused for a second, sighed, then continued. "And you... You don't think a woman is just another notch on your belt... You car--" Serenity choked back, feeling her tears reappear in her eyes. "You treat us with respect, and dignity, you care... You don't take pride in calling me yours, you take in the love-- And I do the same with you... It doesn't matter that every girl in Domino High praises you, or that you're the hottest guy in town..."

Serenity finally broke her gaze away from his, she wiped her eyes and went on... "All that matters is that.. I love you... And if you want to break our bond because of some ruthless, heartless bimbo..." She felt hot tears running down her checks, she couldn't finish. She opened her moth to speak, but it was dry, no sound came out, she tried again but failed, and once again whipped her eyes.

Akira took her chin, and gently pulled up her face. He gazed into her hypnotizing hazel orbs,-that were now red and puffy- he found the apology, the pain, and the heartbreak this had caused. "I believe you, I won't ever leave you, and... I trust you... I trust you didn't cheat on me," Akira placed a kiss on her lips. He took his head back and gazed into her eyes again. This time he dropped the umbrella. "I love you too..." He trailed of and they kissed. Feeling so much better, she put her heart into it, she used all her might... Until she was satisfied.

Walking home, their fingers locked Akira spoke, "I'm not really praised by all the girls, just slightly worshipped," He smiled turning to her, she gave him a little nudge and rolled her eyes. "You know what, you're not the brightest crayon in the box," She added to her nudge. "Are you sure, purple is slightly brighter than brown..." He said pulling a little piece of hair out of Serenity's face.

"Shows how much you know, my hair's way lighter than yours! It's a tone of red! So I win..." Serenity now returned the smile, and thy were goofing off all the way home.

Earlier that day... Kaiba had followed everything, he'd listened to every bit of gossip he could find, every accusation made. And he hated gossip, it always spread around, it's like bees and honey. They emidietly know it's there and chase after it. It was like the tabloids, gossip is what they thrive for. What made him a little more annoyed was the fact that he wanted to believe it, and he did.

All day it was hard to get away from the real issue... His mini Kaiba (conscience), it's been bugging him about him following the rumors and such.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Why do you care? Mini K asked, prying into his thoughts. I mean come on, there's no reason for you to break up Akira and Serenity... He stopped for a moment, realizing the situation. Then he had a mischievous grin on his face. No! Kaiba automatically answered. I'd never feel anything for Ser--- the mutt's sister. I don't have bad tastes, that's just terrible!

Kaiba tried to convince his mini that he was wrong and it was all about revenge... Nobody makes Seto Kaiba look like an imbasol.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Mai and Tea walked home alone that day. They had girl issues to talk about...

"Mai, I feel sorry for Serenity..." Tea looked at her friend in hopes to find a way and fix this horrible situation.

"Well Tea," Mai looked straight ahead, "Me to... And if Serenity don't figure out how to fix this... We will!" Mai now looked at Tea, smiling.

"Yea, I guess you're right," smiling Tea continued to talk about everything.

"You know who put that note in Serenity binder?" Mai suddenly asked with major problem in her voice.

Tea's eyes widened, "No... You do?" She asked amazed that Mai always knew the truth when it came to gossip. "There's only one person in that class that hates Serenity..." Mai's voice was very serious, she bit her lip wondering whether to tell her or not.

"Everyone loves Serenity, even the girls jealous of her and Akira," She smiled because of all those jealous girls. "Bitches.." She thought aloud. As if reading Mai's mind, Tea nodded. "I know, that need to get a life, Akira's not ever gonna be theirs!" Tea smirked at all those jealous girls.

"Anyways, back on the note track!" Mai snapped out of all the thoughts of killing preps and such. "That one person is the one person Serenity insulted today. It made him shut up..." Mai hinted. "KAIBA!" Tea screamed in shock. "Shut up! You know it's more than revenge, so don't tell Joey I know! Or Akira for that matter." Mai covered Tea's moth so she wouldn't blab anything else out to the whole world.

Shaking away from Mai's grasp, she blinked in amazement. "So... who we gonna put her with? I mean, we all hate Kaiba, and well---" Tea was cut off by Joey, he'd came up and was slightly flaring. He placed his arms around Tea and Mai.

"Whatcha sayin Kaiba's name for?" He asked a suspicious look on his face, him slightly out of breath. "Well..." Tea said thinking of a reason...

OoOoOoOoOoO

Joey, Yugi, Tristan, and Ryo (Bakura) were walking home, Mia and Tea a few yard in front of them.

"That bastard! I swear I gonna kill him if he breaks Serenity's heart! It's not her fault that some dickhead wrote that note to break em up! I mean come on!" Joey was babbling on and on, no one was really listening though. Except Tristan, and that was on;y about every two minutes. That's when he said Serenity.

"I hope Serenity is alright," Ryo commented. "I know whatcha mean, Akira better not do notin..." Tristan blushed then decided to just listen. Yugi sighed at his dope headed friends. 'They really like Serenity to much,' Atemu told Yugi. 'No, just a little over protective...' Yugi shook his head then talked to Ryo about their biology homework.

"Hey guys! Shhhhut it!" Joey hushed the three behind him. "Did you hear that, Tea just screamed Kaiba, gotta go!" Joey raced after the girls to see what was goin on.

"Joey, is a little paranoid," Yugi said seeing Joey race after his lover--- or Atemu's--- and his... I'm not sure. "Has anyone else noticed?" Yami came out and asked. "Yea, he kinda is lately," Tristan hated to admit it, but he was ever since that one night. Ryo just nodded in agreement.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Whatcha sayin Kaiba's name for?" He asked a suspicious look on his face, him slightly out of breath. "Well..." Tea said thinking of a reason...

"We were playing would you rather," Mai thought quick. Tea nodded in agreement. "And I asked Tea who she'd rather kill..." Mai looked at Tea for someone else she hated. "It was between Mrs. Arkishi, ya know that P.E. teacher I absolutely wish would die! And Kaiba..." Tea smirked at her thinking so quick. "And it was a hard choice, but she thought for a minute--" Mai was cut off by Joey. "Well duh! It's be that krackhead KAIBA!" They rolled their eyes and sighed. They were relieved Joey was so air headed and believed them.

Now, they were all walking to Joey's house, when they heard a little thunder. "I hope it don't rain," Mai said looking up at the darkening sky. "Yea, Serenity will get drenched at the park with Akira," Tea answered her too looking at the sky.
