She looked at the calendar.
Today is a special day.
It's been a couple of days since the incident between Serenity and Kaiba
Serenity didn't think about that though. She tried her best to make sure that thought would not pop out of her mind on this day.
It's our fourth month of being together.
After preparing her things for school and as well as their lunch, she decided to see if her brother was well...awake.
What was I expecting?
She stood by the door frame and sighed.
"Joey, time for school."
The blond boy got a pillow and covered his face. "Five minutes."
"Joey, we'll be late."
She gave another sigh of defeat.
It was a good thing her brother had physically able friends.
XXX
There were two boys standing in Joey's room after being 'summoned'
"Okay guys...How do we ambush this sleeping Joey?", Tristan said.
"I don't think I'll be able to tackle Joey.", said Yugi.
"You called me, hun?"
They all looked at the doorway.
"MAI!"
Mai observed her surroundings, "You want be to wake up Joseph?"
Serenity, Yugi, and Tristan nodded their head simultaneously.
"Then you called the right person." Mai Valentine smirked and worked her magic.
XXX
Serenity walked to school with Joey and the gand, hoping that today would be a better one.
"J-j-joey! What Mai d-did!"
"Wahaha! Hilarious!!!"
Serenity was giggling about the incident.
"It's not fair!!!", said Joey. "She hit me in the head with her purse. It was so hard. I dunno what's inside that thing."
The entire day, they couldn't seem to stop laughing about it.
The look of Joey's face hitting the wall closest to him.
Priceless.
One of the few things money can't buy.
The idiot brother.
They got to school and the day seemed to go by so quickly, but there was no sign of Duke.
He must have forgotten. But it's okay. Maybe he's busy.
XXX
"Tea, have you seen Duke?"
Tea looked at her red hair friend, "Nope, haven't seen him"
"His lunch is getting cold."
"You cooked him lunch?"
"Yeah."
Tea called Duke but no answer.
"Maybe he's doing a project of some sort."
Serenity looked at Tea "Yeah! Maybe he's doing something."
Serenity suddenly felt better and the day continued.
XXX
Last period. Please end. Please end. Please end.
It was a good thing the bell decided to ring or else...
Serenity fixed her things and left the classroom.
"Hey Serenity!"
She turned around to see who it was.
"Hi Yugi!"
"Have you seen Joey anywhere?"
People have been missing lately. She thought.
"Nope. I think he went to work already."
"Hmmm, Is that so?"
Yugi took something out of his bag. "You think you could give this to Joey for me?"
Serenity took the package and shook it. "It sounds like a new video game."
"Hahaha.", Yugi said sheepishly. "Uhhh, well...hehe."
"Okay Yugi, I'll give it to Joey.", she said with a smile.
XXX
She was about to walk out of the school until Duke pulled her out of nowhere.
"Serenity, I let's go out tonight. I've planned something very special just for you."
Serenity was overjoyed because she thought Duke forgot all about their celebration.
She started to cry and laugh "I thought you forgot what day it was today. I was really worried. I thought you were sick or maybe you were busy."
He caressed her cheek and said "I'll never be too busy for you, babe."
Serenity and Duke were hugging each other obviously happy.
XXX
Today was such a long day. I hope I'll be able to tell her one day.
Seto Kaiba decided to look outside the classroom window.
Then he looked away and packed his things and went to Kaiba Corp.
He gave a small and sad smile.
I guess she is not the one for me then. If it isn't her, then who is it?
XXX
Things have been really busy in Kaiba Corp.
The Christmas season was coming nearer.
Everyone was working double time, they had no choice.
Their boss was working at such a fast pace. They had to keep up.
So much work so little time.
Seto Kaiba tried his best to be at least three to four months ahead.
He was without a doubt five months ahead though.
"Kaiba-sama, I think you should take a break. We are after all very ahead of schedule.", said his secretary.
She then noticed that he was reading all the documents he has approved and checked a dozen of times.
"Kaiba-sama, I think you should stop distracting yourself with work. You have nothing to do already. I suggest you go out and do something a teenager should do."
"I am doing something very teenage like."
She looked at her boss.
What? She thought.
"I'm working a part-time job here at Kaiba Corp. as a CEO."
She called Roland and told him to pull her boss and bring him home.
"Roland, Kaiba-sama needs to be pulled out from work."
XXX
They were walking around the mall.
Duke and Serenity enjoying their date.
"You hungry, Serenity?"
She looked at Duke, but her stomach answered instead.
Duke laughed and said "Okay then. It's a good thing you're hungry I'll take you to a nice place."
XXX
They went inside a high class restaurant.
"May I have your name, Sir,?"
"Duke Devlin"
"Ah, Mr. Devlin. Right this way please."
They were ushered to their seats
"The menu, Sir." The waiter said while handing them the menu.
Serenity couldn't believe it.
There was so much food.
"Duke, uhhh..."
Duke knew what she she was thinking. "It's okay, Serenity."
XXX
"Thank you, Duke."
"Anything for my princess."
Duke kissed her.
It feels different. She thought.
"Let's walk around some more, Duke."
Duke looked at his watch. 'Let's go while the night is still young."
XXX
They had fun.
Playing in the arcade. Shopping. Walking around some more.
It was a very good night.
They were walking towards the park that Friday night.
Duke decided to ask her the crucial question.
"Serenity, do you love me?"
Serenity looked at Duke "Of course I do Duke."
"Stay with me tonight, Serenity."
She looked at Duke and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Duke. I don't think I can do that. I- I'm not ready."
He pulled her closer and said, "I promise I'll be gentle."
"I don't believe in sex before marriage, Duke. I hope you understand."
Duke couldn't believe what he just heard. He pushed Serenity against the wall.
"Come on Serenity, we've been together for quite some time."
She was cornered. "No Duke. I'm sorry."
Duke was outraged.
"What? I still have to marry you just so I could have a couple of sessions with you?!?"
Serenity couldn't believe the things she just heard.
"So this is the thing I get after waiting for a couple of months?!? Huh Serenity?!?"
"D-d-uke. Stop it. You're scaring me."
She couldn't hold back her tears any longer. They just started to fall.
"I never thought I had to do this, Serenity."
He looked at her with such malicious eyes and brought her to a dark alley.
XXX
"Roland, did you bring my spare clothes and glasses?"
"Yes, sir."
Roland handed Seto his casual clothes.
"Where are you going sir?"
Seto Kaiba smiled at Roland.
"I'm going out there as a teenager. Just this once. I'll do something just for me."
Roland dropped off his boss just by the corner.
"Roland, how do I look?"
Seto Kaiba messed up his hair just a little bit, wore a jacket, a pair of jeans, glasses, a cap, and rubber shoes.
"Very typical, Sir."
"Alright. I guess you can drop me off here Roland. And Roland-"
"Yes, sir?"
"Don't follow me. Just this once."
He hesitated, but he had no choice. "Yes, sir."
XXX
Seto Kaiba was walking down the street.
No one is staring at me. Well, except those girls. People aren't moving away.
He missed this feeling.
XXXFlashbackXXX
"Hey mom! Let's buy that toy for my baby brother!"
"Hmmm, which one Seto?"
"That blue robot! Yeah, that one!"
His mother laughed "Seto, he would still be too small to play with such toys."
The young Seto looked at his mother "Awwww, then what about that one?"
His mother shook her head.
"or that?"
"No, Seto."
The young boy had a look of distaste written on his face. He crossed his arms.
"Babies must be really boring."
XXXEndofFlashbackXXX
He looked at the same store he saw a long time ago.
It was filled with Kaiba Corp. products.
As he continued to walk he bought an ice cream.
Dad liked the pistachio one.
"I'll have a scoop of pistachio ice cream please."
The vendor smiled at him and said "One pistachio ice cream coming right up!"
He payed for it and he continued to walk.
I should do this more often.
I can call these sessions "Seto Kaiba appreciation day"
He passed by a dark alley and heard some one screaming.
"STOP PLEASE! Don't touch me!"
Hmm...I wonder what their problem is? It's better not to get involved.
"HELP!!!"
He acted on impulse.
He went against everything and punched the guy in the face.
XXX
Duke brought Serenity to a dark alley and decided to do her there.
"Duke please don't." She was crying.
Duke looked at her with a really pissed look in his face. "I waited this long. I will get what I want."
Out of nowhere to guys were behind Duke.
"Shall we hold her still, boss?"
"Keep her quiet too." said Duke.
Before the two boys were able to cover Serenity's mouth, she was able to scream "HELP!!!"
XXX
Out of no where, someone punched Duke in the face.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Ah, the downfall of blending in too good.
"I still don't think you have the right to abuse this woman, Du- sir."
Shit. That was close. Seto Kaiba thought.
"Looks like someone here doesn't know his place in society."
Before Kaiba could even react, one of them punched him in the face which resulted in his sudden blindness.
They started to gang up on him and they started to beat him up.
"Duke! Stop! He has got nothing to do with this. Just stop Duke. Let's just go somewhere. Just don't hurt him. Please."
When Duke heard this, he only hit the boy stronger. He got a piece of metal from the side and he started to hit the boy.
"He involved himself in the situation. He must be taught a lesson."
Seto Kaiba was already lying down on the ground.
Duke and his companions stopped.
"Had enough already?"
Seto Kaiba will not tolerate such acts. He pressed a certain button in his jacket.
"Is this how you treat people?"
Duke looked at him and laughed then threw Kaiba against the wall and started to beat him up some more.
Serenity couldn't take it anymore. She's been protesting. Begging Duke to stop.
Then Duke hit Kaiba in the head with the piece of metal he picked up.
It was a good thing Seto Kaiba pressed that button.
The entire police force that looked after the safety of Seto Kaiba suddenly appeared.
"Stop right there!"
Duke was confused. "H-h-ey, aren't you Kaiba's body guard? Wh-what are you doing here?"
Roland as well as all the other people looked at Duke.
They made the police deal with this.
Roland made sure that Mr. Kaiba got to the hospital and that Ms. Wheeler received medical attention as well.
XXX
That was Kaiba.
He's in the ICU because of me.
Serenity couldn't stop blaming herself for what happened.
"Ms. Wheeler, no one blames you for the things that happened."
"b-but if he didn't help me-"
"He did it on his own accord. Mr. Kaiba was well aware of the risks, but he still took it."
"Serenity, I don't blame you-" said Mokuba. "Sometimes, he can be a really big idiot. Seto sometimes forgets that he should back down from certain fights."
Serenity wouldn't stop crying "I'm so sorry Mokuba. You're brother's in ICU because of me-"
Mokuba giggled, "Seto likes that room that's why he always goes there. It also keeps the visitors away."
Serenity looked at Mokuba "Seriously,Seto looked a lot worse when he fell down the stairs."
Mokuba looked at Serenity "He just got a couple of wounds, bruises, and a sprained wrist. Nothing too serious. When he fell down the stairs, he broke a rib, and got a lot more bruises."
Serenity looked a little better "Would your brother mind if I were to visit him?"
"I know he wouldn't mind."
