In The End

Chapter 6: Brother to Brother

Serenity could feel her cheeks burn signifying that she was blushing. The reason? Only that the CEO of a major company and the most handsome man on earth was currently on top of her. His face was so close to hers that she could actually see that his eye colour got lighter closer to the pupil. Now that was pretty close. Her mind was blank and all that she could think of was that Seto Kaiba was on top of her.

In the background she could hear Mokuba's voice, but she couldn't really decipher what he was actually saying.

"Are you done staring?" Kaiba said and she could have sworn she heard a tiny hint of amusement.

"Well are you done lying on top of me?" Serenity shot back in a playful tone. He just smirked and rolled off of her.

There was already another wheelchair waiting for Kaiba. She sat up and took a deep breath. The adrenaline was wearing off and she suddenly felt very tired.

She was lifted up by one of the security guards. By this time Seto was already sitting in the new wheelchair.

"We are really sorry Mr. Kaiba."

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again."

"Yes sir."

Serenity stood back, unsure of what to do now. Kaiba was busy giving out orders.

"Move all my important belongings down to one of the first floor guest rooms and try to get this elevator fixed as soon as possible.

"Yes sir"

The guards were all gone now, carrying out the orders. The three of them just stood there. Mokuba was the first to crack the silence.

"Why don't we all get breakfast, I was on my way there until I noticed that you were stuck in the elevator."

"How did you find out Mokuba?" Seto asked. In a way Kaiba had a new respect for Mokuba. He had carried the burden of guilt for far too long.

"Well I wanted to take the elevator up to see if you wanted anything to eat and that is when I noticed that after I pressed the button nothing happened. I then ran up to your room using the stairs and you weren't there. You always tell me when you go out. So I alerted the guards and they said nobody had left since after you came home yesterday. I used my logic thereafter" Mokuba flashed a grin.

"Well I am starving, but I have to go to school"

"Don't worry Serenity" Mokuba sincerely said.

"It is only seven so you still have lots of time"

"Okay then" They both looked at Seto, waiting for what he would decide to do.

"..." He seemed to be hesitant. He was looking at Mokuba in a strange way. Maybe with the new information she gave him last night, he was viewing everything differently. Maybe he thought he didn't know Mokuba anymore, she didn't know what was going on inside that head of his.

"Kaiba aren't you hungry?" Serenity was trying to help him out.

"Yes...yes I am hungry." The look on Mokuba's face was classic, the happiness was depicted so clearly.

Kaiba had already started towards the kitchen, Mokuba by his side. Mokuba was babbling about all sorts of breakfast that they could eat. Mokuba was a confirmed food addict so he knew quite a bit. Serenity could see a ghost of a smile form on Kaiba's lips. She started off after them, keeping her distance. This was a brother to brother moment that she did not want to interrupt.

They all sat down at the kitchen table that was already filled with all sorts of breakfast foods. From pancakes to bacon, you name it, it was there.

They dug in, nobody talking. The silence was comfortable. Once they all finished she had to leave so that it would give her time to stop at her apartment to take a shower and change her clothes.

"I have to get going." Serenity announced getting up. Both Mokuba and Kaiba stayed were they were.

"You can get your pay from one of the guards."

"Okay."

That was when Mokuba got up and hugged her with all his might, which was pretty hard. She, of course, hugged him back. Seto just watched this whole exchange in silence.

"Thank you Serenity...for everything."

"It's no problem Mokuba; I hope I see you soon."

"I hope so." He looked over to Kaiba then back at her.

"Bye Serenity."

She walked over to Kaiba and stuck out her hand.

"It was nice meeting you."

Kaiba just smirked and shook her hand, the contact prolonged.

"Bye Mokuba." Serenity said after shaking Kaiba's hand.

She turned and left, but not before looking back when she was a distance away.

What she heard and saw amazed her. Obviously Kaiba thought she was gone.

"Mokuba"

"Yes big brother"

"I don't blame you for what happened to me"

She could see tears misting Mokuba's vision while he was hugging his brother for all he was worth.

She felt her heart swell. It reminded her of her brother and thinking about that hurt. They had shared times like this.

She wiped her eyes and turned to leave for real this time.

As Kaiba said the guard paid her. She had retrieved her backpack from the guestroom she had been staying in. She left the Kaiba mansion, tired but ready to face the day ahead.
