[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

(This chapter is to see the relationship between Serenity and Joey, showing how much Joey cares for her)

(This is what happened last time)

(Serenity was left in a heap on the floor battered and bruised, she couldn't hold the tears back anymore, tears drained from her eyes as they stung the side of her cheek that was forming a bruise. She looked to the door Kaiba had left then to the small stand in the corner which held her only salvation.

From the fall to the ground Serenity twisted her ankle, making it hard to reach the small table, limping slowly over she reaching for the only thing that would free her from Kaiba, pressing the buttons, she waited till there was a voice,

"Hello"

"Joey...I-I have something to confess to you"Serenity sobbed,)

--------------------------------------------------------------- ---------

Love Cravings, Hateful Consequences

Fuming anger still burnt inside of him as he walked down the street, hands in his pockets,eyes to the ground. The anger that grew inside him, wasn't caused by what Serenity had said to him,but what he did to her.

He slapped her, very uncalled for, she did not even deserve to be yelled at,but the heat of the moment caused him to react the way he did.

Kaiba rubbed his sore cheek again, it didn't hurt as much, and probably won't leave a bruise but he knew it should, he deserved it.

The time passed quickly as the sun was setting on the last day here in México, somehow the colors of the sky reminded Kaiba of Serenity's hair, and the faint stars represented the sparkle in her eyes.

But that sparkled was wiped from her features as he looked into those horror filled eyes as he walked out on her. At that time he had given up the only chance of being with her, for real. There was only one thing to do.

(~I have to apologize~)

------------------------------------------------------------

Serenity grabbed her coat and luggage,peering one more time at the place she stayed in for a whole week. She left a note for Kaiba on her pillow, say she was leaving. As you guessed it, Joey was not very happy, in fact totally the opposite, he was not just angry at Serenity but at Kaiba as well.

(FLASHBACK)

"I've been in México for a whole week i-in s-stead of with mom..." before she could finish Joey interrupted,

"What?, you could have told me you were just going on a vacation, you didn't have to lie to me"

"Joey please let me finish...I-I was afraid to tell you because..um..I-I'm not here alone"Serenity stuttered, afraid of what her brother will say.

"Who are you with?"Joey got dead serious right then,

"Well...I...uh"

"Are you with Tristan, is that why I can never get him home?"

"No it's not Tristan"Serenity started crying again, she wished it was Tristan that way her brother would not blow up because of what she was about to tell him,

"Serenity what's wrong?!"Joey asked very worried, his sister hardly cries.

"I'M HERE WITH KAIBA!!"Serenity screeched, while crying, than there was nothing but silence.

"WHAT!!???" Came a loud roar from the other end of the line.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Serenity wiped a stray tear that fell from her eyes as she quietly closed the door behind her, a door that held her memories behind them, some happy, some not so happy.

She waited patiently for the elevator, remembering everything that happened.

(FLASHBACK)

"Did he hurt you?"Joey yelled through the phone,

"I'll be ok, I just want to go home"

"So your saying he did"

"Y-Yes"Serenity stuttered

"Alright I'll come to you"

"No, I'll come to you, I'll catch the next fight out"

"Well...alright, I'll be waiting for you at the airport"

"Ok" a sigh of relief escaped Serenity's lips,

"No worries, ya big brothers here now"

"Thank you"

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Serenity entered the elevator, breathing in sharply and releasing sharply, (~It's all over now~)

----------------------------------------

Kaiba has never been this nervous in his life as he made his way up to the hotel room. (~Just say sorry and everything will be fine.~).

Quietly he opened the door, peering in,it was silent, his eyes glared over the room as it looked to be no one there.

"Serenity?" he asked, hardly above a whisper, he looked out at the balcony, where Serenity usually was to think, once seeing she wasn't there he went to the next room and the next, all the way down till he reached her room. He entered to find everything gone, except the black dress he had bought her a while ago. From the corner of his eyes he saw a note that was placed neatly on her bed. He picked it up as his eyes glanced over each word.

For Kaiba,

The deal is off, keep your money and that dress, until you become civil once again,or at all, I will have nothing more with you. I never been so humiliated, insulted, and never cried so much, until I meet you!

Sincerely,

Serenity Wheeler

Kaiba crunched the paper with his fists as all the anger he thought was gone, reappeared.

(~Fine, leave, I don't care I have what I want~)As like a kid with a temper tantrum, Kaiba stomped out of Serenity's room into his, slamming the door.

-------------------------------------------

Mokuba was playing duel monsters when banging was heard from the front door,

"I'll get it"Yugi jumped up and ran to the door, he hardly had time to open the door when Joey burst through,

"Joey? What's wrong?"Yugi looked confused,

"Where's Mokuba?"Joey yelled, which startled Yugi,

"He's in the living room"YugI pointed to the room.

Joey kept his eyes focused he walked towards the place Yugi pointed to, as he turned the corner, he saw Mokuba shuffling through his cards. As he cleared his throat, he caught Mokuba's attention.

"Hey Joey,Want to...."Mokuba didn't finish before Joey exploded,

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE YOUR BROTHER AND MY SISTER WENT ON THIS LITTLE BUSINESS TRIP TOGETHER, AND MÉXICO NO DOUBT!" Yugi stood a few feet back as, his best friend is just a little over reacting.

"He told me not to tell you" Mokuba explained,

"THAT'S NO EXCUSE, MY SISTER WAS BRIBED BY KAIBA TO COME WITH HIM, AND YOU DON'T THINK THAT IT WAS WISE ENOUGH TO TELL ME"

"He needed her help"

"ALL KAIBA NEED IS A GOOD KICK IN THE A.."Yugi grabbed a hold of Joey's arms, pulling him back so he wouldn't get to carried away,

"Joey calm down, what's going on?"Yugi asked more confused now then when he started,

"THE PROBLEM IS, KAIBA KIDNAPPED SERENITY, TO USE FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT"

"That's not true, deep down I think Seto likes your sister" Mokuba countered, he tighten his fists, giving one of those famous Kaiba glares, Joey did he same, until Yugi step in, it would not be pretty if he hadn't.

"You guys just calm down" YugI yelled,

"He started it"Mokuba yelled,

"Did not"

"Did to"

"Did not"

"Did to"

"YOU YOU GUYS JUST SHUT UP!"Yugi yelled, startling the to other boys,

------------------------------------------------

"Final boarding call, for flight 103 to Domino Japan" a ladies voice was heard through the intercom.

Serenity sighed as she made her way to her seat, she was happy that she was going home to her brother, but something made her feel very guilty, she couldn't put her finger on it just yet.

The empty seat beside her must of had something to do with it, but it was quickly taken by a young lady, mentally, something in Serenity's mind told her to stay.

(~Is it because I might be in love with Kaiba?~) Serenity thought as her plane took off.

----------------------------------------

"Sign right here, Mr. Banks and the company is yours"

Kaiba just grunted as he signed his name on the sheet, he got little sleep, since he was up all night thinking of that Wheeler. Mr.Kane took the contract from his hands not even glancing on it.

"Thank you for your time Mr.Banks"

Kaiba got up shook the guys hand, he turned around and made his way to the exit, but before he left he looked over his shoulder.

"Mr.Kane I believe you can call me by my real name now, don't worry I'll take care of your company" Kaiba evilly smirked as he left.

Mr.Kane looked down at the contract as he looked over it, there at the bottom was his real name.

Seto Kaiba

----------------------------------------------

Serenity's plane landed around 3:30pm, her ankle didn't hurt as much now since she had time to relax it, but it still was swollen. She quickly tried to make herself look better, so that her brother wouldn't be worried, until she came to the large bruise on her cheek, it was definitely noticeable, she tried to cover it with some of her hair as she made her way off the craft.

A smile appeared on her face, she was home, this was where she belonged,

"Serenity!" Serenity's attention was drawn to her brother running up to her, he wasted no time in giving her a big hug.

"Joey, I missed you so much", Joey pulled away to examine his sister, that's when Serenity kept her face to the ground.

"Are you alright?"Joey asked concern,

"Yes, I'm fine" they began walking to where Yugi and Mokuba waited for them,

"Did he try anything fun" Joey started getting serious again,

"No, he might be a jerk, but her has morals"

Joey stopped as her lifted her chin, so her eyes would meet his, that's when he saw the bruise on her cheek,

"WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?"Joey yelled, Yugi ran over to try and calm Joey down,

Serenity placed her hand on her cheek, wincing when she touched the delicate flesh,

"I got out of line with Kaiba, I guess" she lied, she knew all to well Kaiba got what he deserved.

"I'LL KILL HIM"Joey yelled,

"NO!!"Serenity suddenly yelled, which shocked both Yugi and Joey,

"I..mean..um..violence never get anyone, anywhere, please just forget about it"

"Serenity Kaiba had no right to hit you"Yugi added,

"YEAH, THAT JERK IS IN DEEP NOW"

"Please, just forget about Kaiba, and he'll forget about us" her eyes pleaded with everything she had, and what was weird she didn't know why she was defending Kaiba.

Joey soften some, he hugged his sister again,

"Alright, but if he hurts you again, he won't live to tell about it" Joey warned,

"Thank you Joey"Serenity whispered,

"Now let's get you home" Joey smiled, as they made there way back to the truck.

---------------------------------

Kaiba's airplane leaves in 30minutes, yet all he could think of was Serenity, no matter what he did, Serenity will never forgive him, and even if he did, Joey will always get in the way. He already trick her before, like a mouse to a trap, if he tried something like that again she wouldn't fall for it. Unless, Kaiba smirked venomously, he had the prefect plan.

(~Serenity might be more aware now, but, what if I add some cheese to my trap~)Kaiba thought,

(~And what better cheese to use then her greatest and only weakness she has~) Kaiba smirk more, this time he had her for sure.

-----------------------------------------------------

(Ok, another chapter done)

(NEXT CHAPTER: Kaiba finally snapped, he will do anything now for Serenity, even id force is needed, and what was this cheese he is talking about? Find out^_^)
