Thank you for all the support of this story! I thought I was going to go insane if I didn't get anyone's attention. So, here's the fourth chapter of One Touch, One Kiss!

Chapter 4-The Charm of a Angel

Windy skies and cold currents made the next duel in the Battle City Finals a very tough one, considering the aftermaths of the storm were still present. Joey, even though worried about his sister's conditions, was starting another argument with Maria about eating the rest of his food while he was away. Maria told him that he pigged out earlier before Yugi's duel and that he was nothing but a fat bastard. Yugi, Duke, Tèa, Tristan, and Mokuba was trying to separate the two before things got really ugly. This didn't work at all, and the two were constantly insulting at each other's throats. Yugi turned into Yami and started to lectured both of them about the whole purpose of being here, but it still didn't work. It was hopeless until Mai came around and pulled Joey by the ear, which men should know that it is the worst kind of pain yet, second to none of being kicked in the groin.

Now, this was clearly the most confusion that the gang has seen. Originally, Mai was twenty-five years old, and now the womanly figure that attracted men all over the world has suddenly lost its luster. Everything on her body was shortened, from the point of her hair, to the bottom of her feet. Even her clothes didn't quite fit well towards this new body. When Mai noticed that everyone was staring at her, she took out a hand mirror, only to shriek with pure horror that her charm was gone. Joey, who was near her due to being pulled at the ear, covered them to protect his hearing.

"Wh...Wha...What happened to me!?" Mai stammered. "My beauty! My everything! Gone...just like that!!"

"We don't know, Mai." Tèa said. "Weren't you around Serenity at the time?"

"She went towards the bathroom." Mai said. "Said she was feeling nauseous after one look. I think something about that storm messed me up big time, and Serenity has been in worse conditions than before."

"Well, that storm did look suspicious to me." Yami said. "I don't how and when that storm appeared, but I know it was not around for a long time. Something had to cause it to go berserk just like that."

"Like a hurricane." Tèa said.

"Speaking of terms, what happened to Serenity?" Tristan asked. "You said that she was feeling nauseous! Why didn't you check up on her?"

"Hey, I was confused by her actions and besides, I'm in the tournament! Which means I have to get prepared for my duel!" Mai retorted.

"My baby sister might have caught something from that storm!" Joey said. "If Ma found out, she'll kill me!"

"This is all your fault!" Maria shouted. "You just had to let go of Serenity for your own safety, and this is the result! You should have been more careful!"

"Me!? What about you?!" Joey yelled.

The fighting that was ceased continued yet again, as all of the gang tried to break it up. It was tiring to see that the two people that Serenity cared the most were fighting over her life-story. In this case, you just let them actually get to a compromise and settled things there so that everyone else can get on with their lives. Well, the situation ended very different, 'cause it was at the same time that Serenity came into the room. Voices were dead silent, heads spun around, and eyes were locked on to the angel that was invisible within the crowd. Joey, whose face turned white at the girl he knew as his sister, was completely speechless. Even Seto Kaiba was astonished at the girl that he knew nothing about, and yet she appeared with an appearance that appealed to his tastes. However, Serenity was still related to the mutt, and he wouldn't bring himself to fall in love with her. Oh, Seto...If only you knew.

"Ser...Serenity?" Tèa asked. "Is that really you?"

"And if I was?" Serenity said. "I wouldn't bring myself to your level, you nagging bitch!"

"Serenity!" Joey shouted. "Don't talk to Tèa like that! Now, apologize!"

"Don't tell me what to do, monkey." Serenity said. "Decisions are on my terms, and I really don't see your name in my life book."

"MONKEY!?!?!" Joey yelled. He was furious at Serenity's new attitude, and was sure as hell confused along with the others. They knew that she wasn't like this before, and never knew that the Soul Crystal played a huge part of changing her personality. Seto was impressed by Serenity's actions and had really taking a liking towards her. He also spotted the duel disk around her arm, and somehow thought that she was the eighth duelist in disguised. He didn't even care to hear the shouting of a certain blonde to finish his thoughts.

'Serenity wasn't even like this before that storm!' Yami thought.

'Could that storm really had an effect on Serenity? I mean, she's the nicest person we known, other than Ryou. How could she changed her personality so quick? Not to mention that her appearance has also changed!'

'Yugi, do you think that something had to be in that weather that caused this? This can't be the work of Marik, because I know that the Millennium Items would not reach this far. Think: the fainting incident, nauseous, change in everything including her appearance, and now we have her wearing a duel disk! How did she get one of those anyway?'

'Let's wait until the end of this part of the tournament to ask Ishizu about this. There has to be an explanation to this.'

'Alright, then.'

Serenity didn't even care about what Joey thought about her. All she wanted is a chance to shut him up and show him of who is the boss around the family. Just then, Tristan and Duke, who was always fighting for her heart, came towards her with a bouquet of flowers. Where they got it from will never be told, for decades and decades. She looked at them with the official death glare similar to what Seto gives to people if they got on his nerves or is pissed off. She took both of the bouquets and threw them to the ground, stomping with fierce anger, shocking both her friends and the Kaiba brothers.

"Let's get something straight, you two." Serenity said. "I have never, and will not be interested in you for the rest of my damn life. You two have been constantly fighting for my heart the minute I got out of the hospital, and you don't even fucking care about my feelings! Tristan, I know you been flirting with me any chance you got and I hate that shit you said about you being the person that trained my idiotic brother to play Duel Monsters! Duke, I barely know you, and don't think I heard about that asinine bet you made to my brother. Stay out of my fucking life, or I will personally make your living lives hell. Am I clear, assholes?"

Tristan and Duke were speechless. Serenity had stolen their dignity, and their pride. The rest were shocked, but this made Seto even more impressed with her personality. It reminded him of, well...himself. He threatens, insults, and creates fear towards people that he felt good about his day, and not even once had Seto been attracted to a woman in his personal life. Tonight was special, seeing the sister of the mutt be elusive, sexy, and...wait a minute. Since when did he thought that she was sexy? His hormones was messing with his head as the argument was ending once the announcement of the second duel has begun. The selection was between Joey and Odion, who was disguised as Marik. Once they were confirmed, everyone headed up to the second duel in the quarterfinals of the Battle City tournament.

'Did I really just say that?' Serenity thought. 'Why? Why is this happening to me? But, that actually felt good. Wait, this is wrong! What is this power I'm feeling just now? I'm already feeling guilty!'

"Way to go, Serenity!" Maria said. "You show that damn brother of yours whose boss around here!"

"Yeah..." Serenity said. "Well, let's go see him duel already. I have a headache as of now."

"Okay."

R&R, people!
