Chapter 6

"Hey guys! Wanna play spin the bottle?" suggested Tristan.

Kaiba's eyes widened. It was one thing letting Mokuba play truth or dare but this? No. Mokuba was too young. " Look at the time. I bet that you guys have to fo your homework and eat dinner and so do we. Why don't you get going?" Kaiba said hurriedly before anyone agreed to Tristan's idea.

"Dude. It's only six thirty." replied Tristan.

Joey OBVIOUSLY didn't want his sister kissing anyone so he sided with Kaiba for ONCE. "Kaiba's right. We should get going. It's already pretty late and I'm pretty sure everyone has loads of homework." Joey said.

Everyone looked at Joey like he was mad. The Joey they knew would NEVER agree with Kaiba.

"Hey! Why don't you sleep over tonight?"asked Mokuba.

"Sure" everyone agreed except for Kaiba and Joey.

"Nah-un. No way am I sleepin in the same house as moneybags."said Joey.

"No way am I allowing the mutt to sleep in my mansion."stated Kaiba.

"Oh pleaaaaase?" begged Mokuba.

"Not again."muttered Kaiba. I wonder if he's taking lessons on how to convince your cold hearted brother into doing anything by using puppy eyes. Thought Kaiba.

"Whatever. As long as the mutt sleeps on the opposite end of the mansion where I can't see, hear or even breathe the same air as him." Kaiba said. Now get going and finish your homework." Kaiba growled.

"Wait. I left my backpack at home.!" Serenity thought out aloud.

"Huh...not again. Come on. It's not like I have any major homework or work to do anyways. The rest of you, you know that your backpacks are in the limo and me and Serenity will be back in a few minutes." Kaiba said starting to walk towards the entrance.

"Wait a minute. I'll drive the motorcycle and get ma sis' homework for her." said Joey really not appreciating the idea of Serenity and Kaiba together alone for the fourth time today.

"No way mutt. I'm not allowing you to ride my motorcycle. Your going to destroy it. This motorcycle cost a fortune. Well for you it would cost a fortune so I'm not going to just let you destroy it."Kaiba said glaring at him.

"It's alright Joey. He's not going to hurt me." Serenity said trying to coax Joey.

"Ya never know sis." Joey stated glaring at Kaiba.

"Huh...whatever. I'll just wait at the motorcycle and you two can argue this out." Serenity said giving up on them and not knowing that they could and would start a fight.

Everybody else were to occupied to pay attention to those two too except for Tea. Tristan was holding back Joey, Mai was fiddling with her nails, Yugi was talking to Yami, Rebecca was talking to Mokuba, Ryou had switched with Bakura so he didn't apparently care what was going on, Marik was concentrated on doing something with his rod and Ishizu was thinking about destiny. Apparently, Tristan's hold wasn't strong enough and Joey eventually found him self running towards Kaiba while desperately trying to punch him. They started fighting and Tea started one of her friendship speeches. Joey and Kaiba just ignored her and continued to fight. Tea started crying and ran between the two in desperate attempts to stop them from fighting. Joey was too mad to notice that she was there and Kaiba didn't care if she got hurt.

They continued and soon after, Tristan managed to pull Joey back.

Kaiba just sneered at him and went to his motorcycle and Joey calmed down when Tristan managed to get Mai to coax him and tell him it would be alright. Nobody still noticed Tea with her black eye, bleeding right arm and cuts on her legs. She remembered that she saw a medical kit somewhere and decided to go there and bandage herself. She managed to pass a hall that was deserted and fainted half way there.

Meanwhile with Serenity and Kaiba

Serenity hugged him tight and felt a warm liquid trickling down his arm when he moved it towards her. She pulled her right arm away from him to see what the warm liquid was. She gasped when she saw the red thick blood on her fingers.

"K..K.. Kaiba? Why are you bleeding?" she asked curiously.

"Me and the mutt got in a fight. Now will you shut up? I need to concentrate." he said apparently being annoyed by her.

Serenity felt very dizzy all of a sudden. Maybe because she saw blood, her brother was probably hurt or both. She fainted with her head gently falling on his back and she loosened grip.

"What are you doing? Hold on tighter or your going to fall." Kaiba growled. Wait, what am I saying? He thought. "Hello?" Oh well. Her fault.

They arrived at the Wheeler residence within minutes and Kaiba waited for Serenity to get off. When she didn't get off, he turned around to find a pale Serenity who had her eyes tightly shut and was breathing heavily. He didn't want to panic, so he slowly turned around and picked her up with a lot of effort. It was kind of hard for him to pick her up on the motorcycle so he picked her off of the motorcycle like he would carry a baby and then carried her with hands under her lower thighs and back. Although it didn't show that he was panicking outside, he was panicking inside for he didn't want her to die because then it would be his fault and he wasn't sure about what to do. He brought her into her apartment complex and gently placed her down while he dug in her pockets for her keys. He was roaming around her pockets and it was kind of hard for him to reach down to the pit of it since her pockets were really small. Suddenly Serenity woke up and let out a squeal.

"W..What are you doing Kaiba?" she asked hesitantly not wanting to fully know what the answer was.

" Looking for your keys to open the door." he said coolly and happy that she was alive.

"Whew." she sighed knowing that he didn't have any bad intentions on doing some things to her. She took out her keys and quickly got her backpack, a change of clothes for Joey and her and necessity items for a sleep over. She put all her things in her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. They got on to the bike and went off.

At The Kaiba Mansion

Joey heard the roar of a motorcycle and ran towards the front gate. He saw his sister get off and Kaiba parking the bike.

"Sis sis! Did he hurt ya?" shouted Joey.

She giggled and said " No Joey he didn't."

"See! I told ya that he would hur- wait a minute. Did ya say he didn't?" Joey asked.

"Yes Joey I did." She said with a bright smile and she fled up the stairs, while everybody else followed.

Soon. Everybody was done with their homework and they were eating at the dining table. Half the table was quiet while the other half were chatting away. The quiet half consisted of Kaiba, Ishizu, Ryou, Serenity and Yugi. The louder part of the table consisted of Joey, Mai, Tristan, Marik, Mokuba and Rebecca. Suddenly a question popped up in Joey's mind.

"Hey guys? Have you seen Tea? I haven't seen her after the fight!" Joey said with his mouth full.

" No, I haven't and I don't care where she is." Kaiba said.

" I think she left and didn't want to sleep over or couldn't." Mai said. Everyone agreed and went back to sleep.

After dinner, Serenity and Kaiba kept on bumping into each other and Serenity always blushed.(We all know she has a crush on him don't we?) Mai had noticed this and decided that she should play match maker.

Oh that little crush of hers apparently still is stuck with her. Thought Mai.

That night.(about 2:00 A.M.)

Kaiba was stumbling into the family room from his office to sleep on the couch here since he was too lazy to go all the way to his room. He decided to watch something to try to calm down his nerves and was looking through the rack of DVD's they had. Junk, junk, junk, what's this? He thought. He took out a DVD with a front cover that said, How to Convince your Sibling to do Anything for you with Puppy Eyes. He didn't know they sold stuff like this. What kind of crap was Mokuba buying? He shouldn't be wasting his money on things like this! Thought Kaiba. He decided to watch it to see what Mokuba actually was watching. He watched something that was really stupid and just fast forwarded it so he can see quickly what Mokuba was learning. Towards the end of the show, a man popped up on the screen saying, " The next edition will be, how to not be fazed by your siblings " cuteness." The man said and then the screen went blank. What a waste of money. If there's another edition where it makes your efforts of learning how to do puppy eyes worthless, why buy this? Thought Kaiba. He fumed at the thought that his brother was stupid enough to buy this crap but soon the anger was gone when his eyes shut and he was in a deep dreamless sleep.

Joey felt thirsty and decided on getting some water. Anyways, what was there to be scared of? He had just gotten his refreshment and started walking towards his bedroom.

Tea woke up with a big head ache and a sharp pain through her arm. She noticed that her surroundings pointed out that she was in the Kaiba Mansion. She got up and decided to go look for someone to help her find a good spot to sleep and get medical care. It was pitch black and she could barely even know if her eyes were open or not. She fully depended on her touch, smell and hearing to guide her to someone. She felt the walls and walked down a corridor. What she didn't know was that this corridor was leading straight to a window (one with white curtains). She walked right into it and the white cloth draped over her. She started screaming for help and for someone to get it off of her.

Kaiba was sleeping peacefully until he heard a sharp cry and immediately got up. His thoughts raced and he came to a conclusion that there was a robber there. He quickly got up and strode quickly down the corridor.

Joey headed down the corridor where he had heard a sharp scream and decided to investigate further on whom or what was screaming.

Kaiba and Joey headed down two separate corridors leading to the same room where Tea was. They both came up to the room at the same time and stared at each other for a moment. When they heard another sharp scream, which seemed to sound like Tea and Help, they snapped back to reality.

" Help!"screamed Tea

Joey noticed that he was staring at a figure, which was totally white, and he jumped to conclusions and thought she was a ghost.

"AHHH! Kaiba! GHOST!"Joey screamed.

"There is no such thing as ghost mutt. It's obviously a robber" Kaiba said in a matter-of-factly voice. He picked up a metal stick that was lying on a table near by and gripped it tightly banging it on Tea's head violently a few times. When he was sure that "it" was unconscious, he dropped the stick and glared at Joey.

"Good job Kaiba! You killed the ghost!"Joey cheered.

Kaiba just rolled his eyes. Soon, everyone came to the corridor where those three were. They all stared in wonder in the scene ahead of them.

"Uh Big bro? What happened? asked a very sleepy Mokuba.

"Oh nothing. Just a robber." Kaiba said while heading towards Tea.

"What! I thought this mansion was heavily guarded?" Mokuba asked.

"Yes. I'm going to have to fire all those worthless security guards." Kaiba said like it was a normal thing (well it was). He went over and took off the white cloth. He stared in confusion and disgust at what he saw. He saw Tea's pale face with blood trickling down her arm and head. Everyone gasped. Kaiba just stood there now unemotional.

"I always knew she was good for nothing and a bad influence ever since I first saw her." Kaiba said.

"She is NOT a bad influence and she did NOT rob you!" screamed Serenity.

"Yeah right. Then why was she here in the middle of the night in a white cloth screaming for help?" asked Kaiba.

"For many reasons. She could've actually always been here maybe just lost and then she got stuck in the white cloth and got scared." argued the goody goody Serenity who tried to defend Tea. Kaiba and Serenity continued to argue.

"Ya go Ren!" cheered Joey.

Kaiba was insulting her again when he noticed a figure at the window from the corner of his eyes. He ignored what Serenity was saying and walked towards the window. He opened it and pulled in the figure.

"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Kaiba.

"I'm here for someone." said the mysterious person.

"Wait a minute. I recognize that voice. Devlin. What the HELL are you doing here?" Kaiba yelled.

"I was here to see Serenity." Duke said.

"You know, she doesn't have any money." Kaiba said.

"I..I just care for her." he said backing down.

"WHAT! You come here in the middle of the night and break into my mansion to see if she's alright!" screamed Kaiba.

"I..really like her." Duke said with a new wave of bravery. "Actually I think she's hot."

Serenity and Joey fumed. Serenity first of all couldn't believe that he would dare to say that he liked her and second of all HOT! What the hell? Joey just fumed from hearing those words.

Serenity walked up to him and slapped him. "You bastard! I don't like you! I like Kaiba!" she screamed.

Everybody was silent. Then Joey started to speak.

"You don't mean Kaiba as in this Kaiba as in Seto Kaiba right sis?" Joey said afraid of what the answer was.

"What did you think? Mokuba? What? You want me to date Duke, or Tristan or even Yugi?" asked Serenity.

"Yeah! Yugi's real nice."stated Joey thinking she actually will date him.

"NO! I will NOT date any of your friends Joey! They are also JUST my friends. Nothing more! And I didn't mean saying that I like Kaiba, that was an accident." she screamed and ran down the hallway to her guest room and locked it.

"URG! Kaiba, why do you ALWAYS have to take things from me? First, you just HAVE to beat me in a duel and boast about it, then you come in my nightmares calling me a mutt, then you actually call me a mutt and then you steal my sister's heart!" shouted Joey.

"It's not my fault that your sister is in love with me. And it's NOT my fault that..." he hesitated like the word was going to poison him.

"That what?" asked Joey.

"That lots of girls think I'm MEGA HOT" said Kaiba like in your face your ugly way.

"Yeah right. If your mega hot, then I'm a god!" said Joey.

"No, your what god is spelled backward." stated Kaiba.

Joey thought and thought and thought.

Think...

Think...

Think...

"HEY! KAIBA! TAKE THAT BACK! I'M NOT A DOG!" he yelled.

"Yeah right." he muttered. "Now everyone go back to sleep, and Devlin, you go out the window!"

"WHAT! BUT IT"S FIVE STORIES HIGH!" screamed Duke.

"Oh well. That's what you get for sneaking in here. Now, to get back to work. He thought.

The next Day

Serenity woke up and noticed that she had school in forty minutes. "Oh NO!" she screamed and got up and quickly got dressed. She came down just in time to eat breakfast.

"Good Morning everyone!" she waved at everyone.

"Good morning"everyone said but Kaiba.

After they ate waffles, they got on to their usual seats. So, Serenity went with Kaiba on his motorcycle. As they sped off, she told her brother she'll meet him in school.

They parked in the lot for motorcycles and Kaiba led Serenity to school since she didn't know th way from that parking lot. They passed all of Kaiba's fan girls and luckily they were facing the other way. Soon after Kaiba and Serenity walked into school, the limousine parked in it's parking spot. All the fan girls squealed. First, the door opened and Joey came out. They let him pass. Then came Mai, and Tristan, Yugi, Ryou, Marik, Ishizu, and Tea wasn't there since she was still in the mansion and apparently, after Serenity's outburst, they forgot all about her. The fan girls looked inside the limousine for Kaiba but he didn't appear The leader of the group went up to Joey and asked him.

"Where's Seto?" she asked.

"Oh. Since we went in the limousine, he took his motorbike and he also dropped ma sista." he said.

She walked back to her group and they questioned why Kaiba was with a girl.

Science

Serenity sat in her usual chair fo science when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see a girl with a skimpy outfit. Obviously she was a popular girl and Serenity noticed that.

"What do you want?" she asked politely.

"Why did you ride with Seto?" she asked.

"Oh! Me and my friends slept over there in the mansion and since there was no space in the limo left for me, we rode on his motorcycle." she said innocently.

The fan girl snorted. This class was especially filled with fan girls and on every counter there was one. In the science room, there were counters and on each counter, there were two seats. Unfortunately, Kaiba was in this class too. When Kaiba entered, he saw the fan girls on every counter except for Serenity's. I'd rather sit with Wheelerete than hear those girls rant on he thought. So he went on to sit with Serenity. If Serenity or Kaiba had turned around, they would've seen a VERY fuming group of fan girls.
