Hero Up
Chapter 9
Dead or Alive
As they heard the bomb go off Roland , Joey and the police started running for the pier. " Is he dead?" Mokuba asked as an officer untied him. "I hope not." Serenity said as she got up. She stood beside Joey as she waited.
Meanwhile under water Seto was trying to unlock the chains to his ankles. "A little more and I'll have it." The chain came lose and was now falling to the bottom.
"Now the rope." He thought. But before he could try the rope he felt his lungs tighten. Soon he was sinking to the ground. As he was falling he saw bomb explode above him. Seto tried the rope again he then came loose from the knot. Seto watched the rope sink to the bottom. "Nice try to whoever you are you didn't kill me." Seto then swam to the surface. Serenity was sobbing knowing that he was dead. All of a sudden Seto finally surfaced coughing "Man that was hard to get out of."
Serenity gasped as Seto was climbing the pier. When he did get out of the water a towel was wrapped around him. Serenity then hugged Seto saying "Don't you ever scare me like that again. Seto didn't realize it but somehow he had his arms around Serenity. When Joey wasn't looking Seto smiled as Serenity was still hugging him.
Seto's mother then popped up. "Well you were right Serenity does love me." thought Seto. "And?" the spirit thought. "And I love her ." Seto thought back.
Serenity finally let go of him as Mokuba came running. "Nisa-mma!" Mokuba yelled. Seto hugged Mokuba saying "Hey kid." The police lead the sad man away to the police car. "Mr. Kaiba shall we press charges on him?" asked Roland. Seto nodded. Later everyone gave their view of the story. It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the morning when they got done with the police reports. When the police car drove off Serenity turned to Seto and asked "Are you okay?"
Serenity looked worried when she asked him Seto sighed then said "Yeah, why do ask such a question?" asked Seto. "The bomb." She said simply.
Oh that, well yeah I'm fine no cuts or bruises." Serenity sighed in relief. "Um do you want a ride." Seto asked. "What just happened, is it me or did Kaiba just offer my sister a ride home?" Joey asked wide eyed. Mokuba shrugged.
"Maybe it's you." Mokuba said as he walked to the limo with his hands in his pockets. "That would be nice Serenity said smiling. Seto smiled and opened the door for her. "This is a dream come true." Mokuba thought. As Joey was about to get in the limo drove off a bit. "Hey get back here!" Joey said raising a fit in the air. The limo stopped for Joey to get in. On the way home Serenity was sleeping on Seto's shoulder. "I'm going to have to get use to this." Seto thought as well as Joey.
When the limo got to the Wheeler home Joey got out as well as Seto who was carrying a sleeping Serenity. Joey unlocked the door and Seto layed her on her bed in her room. When the Kaiba Brothers got home they finally went to bed leaving one more thing for Seto. "One more." he thought as he got in bed. "Just one more." Seto then drifted off to sleep.
A/N: One more chapter to go! I have an Idea for the last chapter but it will leave Seto out of character. I have a theory: Remember those walls Seto built around his heart that the spirit mentioned in chapter seven. well I'm thinking to have Seto give up those walls for Serenity. If you don't like the idea of Seto giving up those walls for Serenity then you don't have to read it. But don't worry the rivalry between Seto and Joey won't change so please review.
