Ok this is one of the most ROMANTIC chapters)

(What happened last time)

("Your brother too stubborn"

"So is yours" Mokuba saw that he got a chuckle out of Serenity finally,

"Don't worry Serenity, my brother may be cold on the outside, but he is one of the nicest people in the world, he has his morals, he just needs someone to melt the ice around him"

Serenity smiled at the younger Kaiba, he was nothing like his brother, which she was glad of, maybe he was right, but that gave Kaiba no excuse to kidnap her brother and her. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, a maid came in announcing that dinner was prepared.

Serenity lost all track of time, and as the maid said dinner her stomach started to growl, Mokuba heard, as he took her hand showing her the way to the dinning room.)

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

Love Shouldn't Be Kept In Cages

Mokuba showed Serenity were their dining room was, it was near the kitchen. Serenity watch in amusement as Mokuba ran into the room, how he looked up to his brother never knowing what he was like, or maybe it was her who didn't know what he was like. Serenity contemplated whether she should go in or not, for her brothers sake she gulped down a breath of air, gathering all her courage, she would have to face him sooner or later.

Entering the room she was stunned at how beautiful it was, marbled floors, chandelier, candles all around that had never been lit, then there was the cherry wood table, long enough for 20 people at least and at the end sat the CEO himself, Kaiba.

Serenity decided to take a seat furthest from Kaiba and closes to Mokuba, she kept her eyes to her lap, she could hear the chefs rushing around the kitchen and the maids placing their plates in front of them. She kept silent through most of the meal, about half way, she couldn't stop thinking of Joey, she noticed he wasn't sitting with them, although they would probably have to tie him down so he wouldn't hurt anyone. She looked to Mokuba who gulped down his food, with out taking a breath, that reminded her of Joey, then she looked to Kaiba who eat slowly looking deep in thought, she finally got the courage to break the silence

"Where's my brother?" Mokuba looked to Serenity then to Kaiba, he had a smirk which Serenity didn't find funny.

"Dogs don't eat at the table" Kaiba chuckled at his own demented joke as Mokuba gave his brother a glare than looked back to Serenity would was also glaring at him.

"Kaiba, that was not..." suddenly she was interrupted,

"Seto, and that was funny" he now stared at her, Serenity grimaced as she found her plate to be more interesting then Kaiba.

Little was said through the rest of the meal, until Kaiba stood up looking over himself before he went to the exist, he passed Mokuba than suddenly stopped, Serenity knew he was looking at her, her muscles tightened as she played with her fork. Kaiba smiled and began to walk back to his room.

With a large sigh Serenity relaxed in the chair leaning her head on the back. Mokuba watched as Kaiba stared at her and could see her muscles tighten, but also noticed the light blush on her cheeks.

"Did my brother get something to eat?" Serenity asked looking at her feet,

"No, my brother said he could get whatever was left"

"May I give it to him?" she looked up to Mokuba with pleading eyes, there was a spark of sadness yet it never wavered her beauty, now Mokuba knew why his brother loved her so much.

"Of course, my brother had a guess room set up for him in our basement, I'll take you there"

Serenity smiled as she jumped to her feet, first they went to the kitchen to get Joey something to eat. Then she followed Mokuba to the basement, this part of the house wasn't as nice as the rest, it had cement floors and hardly any light. They came to a room with two bodyguards standing in front of it.

"Young master Kaiba, what brings you here?" one asked

"I have brought him something to eat and his sister, now step aside"

Serenity could hear Kaiba's tone in Mokuba's voice as he ordered the guards away.

Mokuba let Serenity enter first before him, he closed the door behind him to let Joey and Serenity talk without the guards hearing.

Serenity saw Joey laying on the edge of the bed, the room wasn't as nice as Serenity's was. She quietly made her way over to her brother, he was fast asleep, she noticed the cuts and bruises on his face and body, she turned around to Mokuba in horror.

"Who did this to him?" Mokuba looked away he knew who did it, but he didn't want to tell her, most of it was caused by his brother, and the other from his body guards. Taking Mokuba's silence in, she made a conclusion.

"Kaiba did, didn't he?" her eyes looked over Joey he wasn't asleep, he was unconscious, she looked back to Mokuba who shook his head in agreement.

"I need some cool water and bandages please Mokuba" he agreed, leaving the room to retrieve the first aid kit and some water.

Serenity gathered her brother in her arms, well as much as she could, dragging him over to the other side of the bed, she pulled down the sheets placing her brother in them. She moved some of his blond strand out of the way of his face, he looked like he was 10 years old again.

Mokuba entered the room with a bowl of water and the first aid kit, he placed it on the bed table next to Serenity, Serenity cleaned up the cuts putting ointment on them and a bandage, Mokuba also helped clean Joey up.

After an hour Joey started to come around, his eyes opened to see Serenity looking down at him with worry written all over her face, he smiled thinking it was only a nightmare, until he looked around the room,

"Kaiba!?" Joey shot up, but was quickly followed by a blurry vision affect,

"Joey calm down" Serenity guided Joey back to the pillow

"My head" he clutched his head tight feeling the headache over take him.

"Did he hurt you?" Joey looked Serenity over to make sure she was alright,

"No, he didn't, are you ok?"

"I've been better" Joey growled at the memory, he looked around to see Mokuba in the corner.

"Hey whatcha doin?" he smiled, even thought his brother was a freak, his younger brother was way more human then he was.

"Maybe I should go" he said,

"Ya don't have ta" Joey called back, Mokuba smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Sorry for my brothers actions"

"Ah, it's not your fault" Joey kicked Mokuba softly with the point of his foot playfully,

"We can't stay here, we need to go home" Serenity said looking at Mokuba then at Joey.

"Yeah, I don't know how long I could live here" Joey joked, through everything he still kept his humor,

"I could help" Joey and Serenity looked to Mokuba in surprise,

"Of course if your caught, I had nothing to do with it" Mokuba stated

"Kid, your all right" Joey smiled, he slowly sat up again to get a better look at his surroundings.

"How are we going to escape?" Serenity asked

"I say we jump Kaiba, knock him out, and make a run for it" Joey suggested

"I don't think that would work, for one reason, I think you already tried that by the bruises on you" Serenity replied

"And for another, my brother's body guards would never leave this room and we have security locks all around the doors and windows, plus I want no physical harm to come to my brother" Mokuba said

"Do you think you could shut them off?" Serenity asked

"Yeah, but it's not easy, the off button is in Seto's office and he hardly leaves his office unlocked"

"Could you get the keys" Joey asked

"Maybe but he usually keeps them in his pants pocket, I could try"

"You do that, now that we have that cleared up, how are we going to get the guards away from the door"

"Leave that to me" Mokuba grinned

"Ok tomorrow morning we put our plan into action, but now I smell food" Joey saw the plate of food wrapped in plastic on his side table. Serenity laughed as she passed Joey the plate of food.

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

After visiting her brother, Serenity escorted back to her room, she had to admit that room was a lot nicer then the room she has back at home. She thought about their escape plan but for some reason it was like she didn't want to leave, like when she was leaving México, What was Kaiba doing to her? After everything he has done to her and her brother, she felt like she could never leave him.

She was snapped back into reality when she heard her room door open. Kaiba stood by the door looking at her like he was searching for something.

"May I help you?" Serenity asked

"Is everything alright?" he asked calmly

"Let's see, I was kidnapped, my brother was beaten, and I'm a prisoner in this place, how would you feel?" Serenity coldly responded

"Bad"

Serenity's eyes fell back on Kaiba at his response,

"What?"

"I said, I would feel bad"

Serenity just continued to stare at Kaiba, he slowly made his way over to her.

"Your not a prisoner, I will let you go as you please, I just want to know if you would come back to me?"

"What makes you think I'll ever come back to you, given the chance to escape"

She didn't have time to respond when Kaiba attacked her lips, pulling her into a passionate kiss, at first Serenity was startled but for some reason she felt that this was right, she heeded to Kaiba's touch, his touch was as soft as a dove not what she had expected, he slowly parted he looked into her eyes, those eyes that held beauty and innocence

"I know you will come back, goodnight" he whispered than left,

"Goodnight.....Seto" Serenity whispered

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

Morning came quick, Kaiba woke up groggy from the lack of sleep he got, he could only think of Serenity. He walked to his bathroom turning on the luke warm water. Something about her kiss hooked him, he was for sure in love.

Little did Kaiba know as soon as he got into the shower Mokuba entered his room, he saw his brothers pants on the back of a chair, going through all the pockets he found the right keys that opened Kaiba's office doors.

Mokuba made his way down the hallway passing the maid and butlers that smiled and said good morning to him. When he reached Kaiba's office he looked around to see if anyone was watching then entered. He ran to Kaiba's desk, looking under all the papers on his desk for a little red button, finally he found it next to the computer, he pushed it, shutting and locking the door he ran back to his brothers room, he heard the shower turn off, he quickly slipped the keys into his pocket and ran out in time for Kaiba to open the bathroom door.

Mokuba ran down the large stairs until he reached Serenity's room, he opened the door to see her ready to go.

"Let's get Joey" he whispered, Serenity shook her head and followed Mokuba. They went down the stairs to the basement, the two body guards were still there. Serenity hid behind a corner as Mokuba approached them.

"My brother wants to see you in his office" The two body guards were shocked

"Why didn't he call us on his beeper?"

"Do you want my brother to get angry?" their eyes went wide as they rushed passed Mokuba and Serenity. Mokuba opened the door of Joey's room, he walked out as Serenity hugged him. Mokuba gave his final warning to them.

"Alright I did my part, now you have to get out, good luck"

Joey ruffled Mokuba's hair as Serenity gave him a kiss on the cheek, then the rushed passed him.

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

Kaiba entered his office after finding his key in the wrong pocket, he took a seat to see his papers were everywhere, suddenly his two body guards rushed in.

"What do you want?"

"Young master Kaiba told us you wanted to see us" Kaiba glared at them

"What?"

"Mokuba, he said that you wanted to see us"

Kaiba's eyes grew large as he noticed the little red button was pressed off.

(~Oh no~) Kaiba rushed passed the in a hurry

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

Joey and Serenity ran down the narrow hallway to the front door.

(~Last Corner~)

Joey turned the corner followed by Serenity but suddenly she was grabbed, her mouth clamped shut, she was flipped around to meet Kaiba's eyes.

"Shh listen Serenity, I know you want to leave, and as much as I don't want you to go, I have to let you go, but before you do, I want to tell you something"

He kissed her gently as he did the night before, the whispered in her ear,

"I love you" With that he left

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

Joey jumped through the front door taking the fresh air all in,

"Were free, Serenity" There was no answer,

"Serenity?" he looked behind him to see Serenity walking through the door, she looked back for a second at the house till she meet up with Joey.

"Hey, are ya ok?" Joey asked

"Yes, I'm fine"

"Then lets go"

Serenity followed Joey, once more she looked back to see Kaiba watching her from his office window, she smiled and turned back to her brother,

"I love you too" she whispered

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

(Ah, that's sweet)

(NEXT CHAPTER: Kaiba understands now that he can't use force to get Serenity, but there's still one object in the way, Joey, now Kaiba must make friends with the one person he can't stand)
