The Battle Of Love
Chapter Seven: Thoughts of What It Could Be
Serenity Takaishi
Dear Diary,
Well, that was so chaotic! Yesterday someone wrote me this note, it said
how much they loved me and how I needed to break up with Akira... I
just don't know why anyone would do that, unless it was KAIBA! yes,
you heard me, the seto Kaiba! so, he wrote it, kira found it so it started
all this chaos and then joey was with some conor girl... Mai snapped, i
got really scared she might rip his head off! Then Bakura went mad but
fixed it -most of it - Mai still hates Joey for what he did. On a different
note, the dance is coming up and i can't wait, except I have this weird
feeling somethings going to go wrong... oh well, just paraynoia!
Serenity closed her pink fuzzy notebook then looked at the clock, it was 6:37. "Time to wake Joey up," She thought aloud getting off her bed and straitening her school uniform. Covering her mouth to hold back a yawn she walked out her door and opened Joey's.
"Joey?" Serenity asked looking around the room. He wasn't there, then Serenity heard a door shut. Being curious and a little frightened Serenity ran down the hall to the front door, it was closed and Joey's shoes were gone.
"Huh?" She asked looking around. "What in the world? He couldn't have..." She was clueless, there is no possible way he got up earlier than her and found a way to get past her with no sound.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Kaiba sat in the last seat of his first class, this was going to be difficult, he kept thinking over and over again. 'There had to be some possible way to break those two apart. But how am I going to do thins with that stupid puddle and Yugi's girlfriend watching over me?' Kaiba thought to himself, he was staring off into space and didn't even know that a girl was standing in front of him.
"Hey Kaiba!" Serenity said in a loud whisper.
Kaiba snapped out of it and looked up. "Wheelette?" He asked smirking, this was going to be fun.
"You!" She pointed her figure in his face. Her nose wrinkled up, her eyes were flaming, she didn't know what to say, how to word how mad she truly was.
"Yes?" asked Kaiba, a look of confusion and evil on his face. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You know what I'm talking about, you tried to ruin mine and Akira's yea!" She needed to lower her voice, even though there weren't many people in the class, rumors could spread faster than anything.
Kaiba smirked, this was really too funny. "I guess I find joy in bringing others pain."
Serenity's eyes grew, that was it. She raised her hand up and wham! She slapped Kaiba across the face. Neither of them were thinking it was coming so they were there in shock.
Serenity looked at Kaiba with apologetic eyes and both of her hands over her mouth. Kaiba sat there, his eyes narrowed and his face starting to swell.
"Kaiba, I'm sooo sorry," Serenity unclamped her mouth and began apologizing to the CEO ion front of her. "I didn't think I'd slap you, it never crossed my mind!" Serenity was starting to draw attention to herself and Seto.
"Sit down," Kaiba said through gritted teeth, his voice bitter and harsh. This was a Kaiba I don't think anyone had ever seen before.
"I-"
"Wheeler, just sit down, now!" Kaiba kept his voice down, he didn't want more people to look at him. His voice remained bitter, but it seemed disappointed about something.
Serenity went back to her seat, she felt bad and she didn't look at Kaiba the rest of the day. She had this many classes with him and didn't even glance at him, but when she got home some people were a little curious.
"You were pretty quiet today Ren..." Tea hinted sitting at the kitchen table.
"Yea, it's weird." Mai rolled her eyes, she knew what had happened, but she didn't think it would turn out like this.
"Do you really have to put me through this?" Serenity asked putting her head on the table. "I think I might die soon," She knew that it was a horrible idea to slap him, but she couldn't help it, ;it pissed her off.
"Why did you hit him?" Tea asked patting Serenity's back, she was upset, but why?
"He just made me so mad!" Serenity's voice was about to break and it sounded like there was pain and sadness in it. "He wants to break me and Kira up..." The room went silent, many thoughts were going through everyone's mind, this was going to turn out for the worst, either for Serenity, Kaiba, Akira or all three.
'Poor Serenity... this isn't what I though would happen, it just did and now... me and Mai should break something off... or up or! AHH! Mai was right, this is gonna be really hard...' Tea looked at Serenity her face down, it seems she was hurt and bad. 'It upsets her more than it should... but... she would've told us.'
Mai looked off into deep space her eyes fixed on nothing but air. 'Serenity, I hate to see you break Akira's heart... and you seem to like him, it's just so odd that you're thinking like that after so long? How in the hell did it happen?'
This silence lasted a long while, that was until Serenity spoke up, but her voice a hoarse whisper. "I know what you're thinking... and I don't know how to fix it... I can't say anything, to either of them? So what do I do?" Serenity started to cry, her whimpers were hard to sustain, but she did her best.
In the end, Mai and Tea were there to comfort her, but it still wasn't enough.
Serenity sought her journal for help that night...
Dear Diary...
So why is God making it so hard for us, why can't he just tell us what
not to do and point us in the direction to go? ...but that would be giving
up and no one wants to give up what they desire the most, the way of
life is confusing and no one is ever going to understand it... He's
expecting you to work for it - get your desires...So, no matter what path
you choose, or which one you create, there will always be confusion
awaiting at the end...
Serenity again shut her notebook, this was a hard decision and she knew Akira would understand, she knew what she had to do. She wiped tears from her eyes and grabbed her jacket, Mai and Tea were still there, talking.
"Serenity-"
"Can you guys come with me, but stay a little away?" Serenity asked, hoping they'd understand what she was talking about.
They nodded and away she went.
:-:Kaiba Mansion:-:
"Nut uh! Did she really slap you?" Mokuba wasn't believing anything his brother was telling him.
Kaiba had decided not to work that day, his face was starting to swell, even bruise, there would be questions and he didn't feel like doing that at the moment. "Yes, she really did." Kaiba was starting to get annoyed, Mokuba had been staring and asking for last twenty minutes.
"Seto..." Mokuba asked, becoming slightly quieter.
"What?" Kaiba asked, knowing what he was going to say.
"Why do your eyes look hurt?" Mokuba saw his usually ice blue, cold eyes were tinted around with anger and pain.
"What!" Kaiba asked, he knew it was coming, but no in this form.
"I know you like her... you just won't admit it," Mokuba looked into his brother's eyes, he was right, but surely, Kaiba was going to admit it.
"Mokuba, I've told you for the thousandth time, there is no feelings I have for her!" Kaiba didn't scream, but he raised his voice, how could he be falling for a girl that was so... related to the mutt?
"Uh huh!" Mokuba started, but couldn't finish for the doorbell had rung.
"Who in the hell?" Kaiba asked as him and Mokuba headed downstairs.
Mokuba opened the door and to his surprise there was a girl standing there, her eyes red and face pail. "Hey, Mokuba can I talk to you?" She asked looking at Kaiba standing behind him. She narrowed her eyes at the sight of him then looked back to Mokuba.
"Uhh... yea," Mokuba gestured for her to come in and she did. "Seto, go to work," Mokuba told his brother. He received a dirty look but did as Mokuba 'requested'...
