In The End

Chapter 3: Confessions

She was now sitting alongside the inside pool. Watching Mokuba jump off the diving board over and over again. It was actually quite funny, watching as he came up with the most outrageous diving positions. He was enjoying making her laugh. That much was very clear. It was now Sunday. She had spent the whole weekend at the Kaiba mansion. On the first night here she had had the most heartbreaking conversation with Mokuba. Just thinking about it now gave her a heavy heart. He blamed himself for Seto's situation. Saying that it was his entire fault. He had told her pretty much everything about what had happened and about how he felt.

Flashback

"I remember it clearly" Mokuba said quietly.

"We were walking in town. I ran across the road, and there was an oncoming car. I of course didn't see it otherwise I wouldn't have run across the road, but Seto did see it. He is always alert. He saved me, but the car hit him instead. That's why he is in the...the wheelchair, it is all because of me, it's all my fault..." Mokuba finished, not looking at her. She could see he hadn't told anyone this and that it was really hard for him, to say these things. To unlock his heart and tell her.

"Mokuba..." Serenity went to sit next to him "are you implying that he blames you?"

"..." He was silent then. Just looking at his hands.

"He does blame me" His voice cracked then making her want to cry.

"I don't think he blames you" Serenity said and really meaning it. He looked at her quizzically. She explained herself.

" I saw, when he looked at you just as he was leaving, I saw in his eyes love. Unconditional brotherly love. That cannot be mistaken. I know what I saw. I don't think he blames you. What he did for you, is because he loved you and he still does. I don't think he regrets what he did. How do you think he would feel if he just watched you run across the road and he had seen the car but done nothing about it and you had died. He doesn't regret what he did."

Mokuba looked as if the world had been lifted from his shoulders.

"How could you think he blames you?"

"He never spends time with me" Mokuba said a little sad again.

"Don't you think it is because he runs a company." Serenity said smiling at him and he smiled back.

"How about we get some waffles?" Serenity said lifting the mood.

"With ice-cream AND cream?" Mokuba said looking very hungry.

"Sure"

End flashback

He felt much better, she could see that now. On Friday before they had talked, they had had a lot of fun and they really connected but there had always been this sadness in his eyes. Now looking at him she could see that he was once again carefree. Like a child should be...

She laughed when he dived into the pool ballerina style. He came up sputtering and laughing.

"Come on Serenity join me" then he put on a evil face "or die...muahahahaha"

That made her crack up.

"I don't think so Mokuba, I quite like watching you" She said smiling.

He blinked and then it looked like he was concentrating.

"I just came up with another pose" He then hurriedly got out of the pool and made his way to the diving board. She laughed.

She was sitting on pool chair. The roof was made of glass, the sunshine still got through making her warm but not hot. She was wearing a pink bikini. A T-shirt completed what she was wearing. The warmth from the sun was making her eyes droop. This was about the time Mokuba got an evil plan and headed for a room just to the side of the pool. Coming out with a water gun he made his way silently over to Serenity.

By now Serenity was on her way to la la land. So she had no idea what was just about to happen to her. Lets just say freezing cold water on warm skin doesn't feel so good...

"Mokuba!!" Serenity all but shrieked.

Mokuba was rolling on the floor with laughter, her face had been classic. Since he was so distracted with laughing he didn't realize that Serenity had grabbed his gun until it was too late.

"Serenity!!"

"An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth"

"Whoever came up with that saying is stupid." This made her laugh.

Now they were just looking at each other, Serenity still holding the gun. When she tried to spray him a little trickle came out - she needed to refill. Mokuba took this oppertunity to duck back into the room and retrieve another water gun.

A full blown water gun fight lay ahead. With Serenity running away from Mokuba and then Mokuba running away from Serenity when he ran out of ammo also known as water.

Little did they know they were being watched by a certain CEO. A smile tugging at his lips. He had arrived silently and just as silently he left, unnoticed he headed for his room. Taking the elevator of course.

By this time Serenity and Mokuba were in the pool splashing each other instead of using water guns.

After they were both extremely tired and just lying next to the pool, not being able to move, Mokuba asked her an unexpected question.

"Do you have a brother?"

"Why do you ask?"

"On Friday it seemed like you knew what brotherly love was."

"I did have a brother"

"What happened to him" She smiled sadly unnoticed by Mokuba.

"The past is the past, lets just leave it that way..."
