(Thanks to all my fans for continuing to read my story, don't worry if anything seems out of place, it will all be explained, each sentence has a purpose)

'Means a little voice is talking'

(Last Chapter)

(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)

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

Making Truths

"Serenity?"

"......."

"Serenity?!"

"......."

"SERENITY?!"

"Uh...what?" Serenity snapped back to reality at the sound of her boss yelling at her, all day she had been day dreaming, a little to much.

"I asked for these papers to be filed 2 hours ago, I can't afford to keep you if you won't do anything, so please file these paper before you leave tonight"

Serenity watched as her boss turned heel and left, great not only was she day dreaming, but she had got no work done at all, and quitting time was in 30 minutes. Luckily Mai offered to stay behind and help file.

Mai and Serenity sat in silence filing the documents before her, and there Serenity was, day dreaming again.

(~Why'd I say I love you to that creep, even if he or anyone else didn't hear it, I'm ashamed to even have thought it~)

Serenity typed furiously on her computer, not really knowing what she was writing, Mai who had been watching her had noticed the expression on Serenity's face, one expression she hardly saw in Serenity.

"Who is he?" Mai asked, snapping Serenity back to reality,

"What are you talking about?" Serenity hissed,

"I've never seen you like this, your usually so wake and ready to work, but today you head is in the clouds, that could only mean one of two things, Joey set the kitchen on fire again, or your in love"

" NO I'M NOT, and Joey hasn't been cooking lately" Serenity had to keep her voice down, the costumers were starting to stare at her.

"Denial...huh...you know that was my excuse too....when I meet your brother....so tell me who is he?"

"I'm not denying anything, I have nothing to hide" Serenity grumbled typing harder on the keyboards.

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm am?....oh...well....I uh...hey when have you had the right ot pry into my life" that kind of surprised Serenity, she had never said anything rude to her friends like that.

"Sorry, but hun, even if you don't admit it, it's written all over your face" Mai grabbed her purse, waving to Serenity, signaling that she was leaving.

(~I don't love him, I could never.....and even if I did that will never, ever happen~)

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

A look of worry ran through him, he had never seen anyone so down hearted, hiding himself from the rest of the world even from his family. Since he helped Joey and Serenity escape his brother has been nothing but being a work-o-holic. Not sleeping, not eating, not talking except when he fired someone for interrupting him.

Mokuba walking down the hallway to his brothers office, he never left there anymore, he just stayed there and typed away on his laptop, he didn't speak or look up at Mokuba now, he just stay silent like no one was even there. Mokuba quietly open his brothers office, there he was still sitting there typing, he had circles around his eyes from the lack of sleep, his hair was messed up, and he looked strangely pale, this also worried Mokuba.

"Um...Seto?...are you hungry?"

"......"

"You should get some sleep"

"....."

"Seto talk to me, I'm your brother you can't ignore me just because you lost something, your acting like a two year with a tantrum"

Kaiba's eyes snapped up to his brother which startled him, Kaiba's eyes were burning with hatred, he looked at Mokuba like he was a employee. Kaiba refocused his attention to his computer screen, again he went into a zombie state, all he ever did was work. Mokuba could tell Kaiba was tired, but decided not to press his luck, with a heavy sigh Mokuba turned and walked out.

Mokuba flopped on his bed, not really tired just confused at his brothers behavior. Mokuba looked to his clock on his side table, 9:00pm. Usually on weekends he would stay up way after 9 o'clock, but worrying about your family can put a lot of strain on a person, and by the looks of it he'll be going to bed early every night for sure.

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

(~LOST SOMETHING? I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING, I JUST WANT TO WORK IS THAT SO BAD~)

Kaiba continued to type on his laptop, a lot had been on his mind lately, so he drowned everything else out by working 24/7. Now at his rate, he could take a 3 month vacation and not worry about his company falling behind.

(~If it wasn't for her, I would be able to still hold myself together, but no, I had to fall for her, and now look at me, I'm as pathetic as the Mutt himself~)

Sore from typing Kaiba just lean on his desk head in his hands think of what he did to deserve this punishment.

(~I'm so confused, why couldn't I keep her here, why did I let her go~)

'Cause you love her' that little voice started to pry at Kaiba, the one always tell what's good and bad, Kaiba thought he got rid of that voice along time ago.

(~How could I let one girl walk right on top of me?~)

'Your not listening to me'

(~Shut up, I don't need your help!~)

'Touchy'

Fatigue started to calm Kaiba as he rested his head on his desk

(~Just a few minutes of sleep~)

In seconds Kaiba was asleep, purring like a kitten, the first real type of rest he had got in days.

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

Serenity walked into her apartment, it seemed Joey had fallen asleep on the couch again, and it was only 9:30pm.

(~Wonder if he ate?~)

But just in case, Serenity made sure to stop for some pizza on the way home, if that didn't wake Joey up nothing will. She placed the ready-to-bake-pizza in the oven making sure it was at the right temperature. Serenity glanced in the living room, Joey still had a couple of bruises on his face but most were healed by now.

(~How could I love him? Look at what he did to my brother?~)

'You saw passed his cold-hearted ways, you saw how he could love, in the way he's like around Mokuba and how he'll do anything for him'

(~But that's his brother?~)

'So, remember what Mokuba said, that he was taught to take things by force, therefore, burying Seto, and bringing forth Kaiba'

(~Still he is suppose to be mature~)

'In what way?'

(~He's should hold his temper and actually think before fighting~)

'Your brother does the same thing'

(~Yeah but...~)

'Just admit it,you love him'

Serenity sighed, she helped herself to some fresh herbal tea she made waiting for the pizza, the same questioned lingered in her mind, (~Do you love him?~)

"Is that pizza I smell"Serenity watched as her brother walked in looking in the oven to see if his nose read him right.

"Yeah, I thought I grab something on the way home, you haven't ate already, have you?"

"Na, I was waiting for you, by the way, why are you home so late?"

"I kinda was day dreaming today and didn't get all my work done"

"You day dreaming, not getting ya work done, are ya ok?"

"I fine, just tired"

"Well I can't wait for supper" Joey grabbed two plates setting them down in front of their seats waiting for the pizza to be down.

"Was there any mail"

"Just bills....oh a folder came for you, I didn't open it this time" Joey smiled at the memory of last time, anyway that's not important.

"Who was it from?" Serenity asked sipping her drink

"I don't know, it just says KC on it"

*cough* *cough* "WHAT?" Serenity asked grabbing the folder Joey had,

"I said KC, what's that?"

"Nothing, it's just...uh...from work" Serenity didn't all lie, she did work there once, Serenity got up and placed the folder on the counter hoping that she would not lose it. She grabbed the some oven mitts, pulling out the pizza placing it on the table. By time she returned from putting away the mitts, Joey had already dug in.

Later that night Serenity had wished her brother goodnight and retired to her room, where she looked intensely at the folder for her, with the letters KC, that could only mean, Kaiba Corp.

She looked inside, pulling out $1000, with a letter attached to it, reading over it she was amazed by there words.

To, Serenity Wheeler

Even though you had said no to the money, I don't let my workers leave without pay, that would be truly evil and mean. So take this money so you and your brother can survive. Remember I still love you.

~Seto Kaiba~

Serenity read over the letter over and over, her eyes paying attention to the last part, 'Remember I still love you'. That's when that feeling came to her again, like she needed to go to him.

(FLASHBACK)

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,

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Serenity quickly got changed, slipping out into the hallway, it seemed her brother was in his room, playing music, she used the opportunity to slip by without making to much noise. She needed to see him, she needed to tell him the truth.

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

It was around 11:00pm when the door bell had rung, waking Mokuba up from his deep sleep, then again he wasn't much of a deep sleeper, he was a light sleep. He hurried down the stairs, remembering the butlers were off for the night. He opened the door to see, Serenity standing there.

"Serenity, what are you doing here?"

"I have to speak to your brother, is he home?"

"Yeah, but why would you want to talk to him, didn't I just help you escape from this place?"

"Mokuba, I think I never wanted to leave, deep down I mean"

Mokuba stared at Serenity in confusion, but shrugged it off.

"You remember where his office is?"

"Yes"

"Good, I'm going to bed, you do whatever...oh and if he yells at you...don't say I didn't warn you"

"I'll remember that"

Serenity watched Mokuba lazily walk back to his room, she continued down to Kaiba's office, she needed to do this, she kept telling herself, but it didn't help her nerves very much. She quietly opened the door, she peered in, there Kaiba laid across his desk asleep. His angelic form was seen only when he slept Serenity noticed, but she couldn't help smile at the cute picture in front of her.

The rhythmic intake of his breaths, made even Serenity shiver with delight, remembering how that felt to be caressed by his breath. She made her way over to him, kneeling beside him, she noticed the circles around his eyes and the pale look that was caked on him. She smoothly ran her thumb over his left eyebrow, a soft moan escaped his lips. She smiled, her touch was gently she had to admit that, she put anyone to sleep. She use to do that when Joey came home from school with a headache, mostly caused by Kaiba, but anyhow.

"Seto"Serenity whispered

(~Did I just call him Seto? Oh well~)

"Seto"

Kaiba started to stir from his sleep, he seemed so peaceful, she really didn't want to wake him up. His eyes slowly opened to she Serenity smiling sweetly at him.

"Serenity?" His tired voice caught up with him,

"Yes, can I talk to you"

Kaiba stretched his tired body, which seem to lift his shirt just enough to see his well toned abs, Serenity girlishly blushed.

"What are you here for?"

She looked to Kaiba staring back at her,

"You said I would return, and so I have" Kaiba suddenly got a surprised look on his face,

"I didn't think you would"

"Well I have"

"Does your brother know?" Kaiba narrowed his eyes there must be a catch, he could walk right into a trap.

"No...I couldn't tell him, he'll never understand...he could never understand that I'm..I'm...in love with you"

Kaiba was truly taken back by what she said, (~Did she just say I love you~)

"Seto?"

"Huh?"

"I want to be with you, but with Joey, he'll never will let me, unless...unless" Kaiba smirked, he knew what she was going to say, and the answer was NO.

"You become friends with him"

"No" He stated plainly

"No, why not?"

"I don't know how to put this, I hate your brother"

"Do you hate me?"

"No, that's the one thing I don't hate about the Wheeler family, and yes I want you as well"

"But if you don't at least try to stay in the same room without fighting we can't be together"

Kaiba growled, he knew she was right, but he hated the Mutt so much, but to get her, he'll do anything, he had already proven that.

"Alright I'll try, but I can't promise anything"

Serenity grinned from ear to ear, just to hear that Kaiba will try and put his and Joey's differences aside made her gleam with happiness.

"Thank you Seto"

"Anything for you"

They stayed silent for a while until Serenity broke the silence,

"Seto? don't ever let me go" Kaiba rapped his hand around her protectively, he couldn't help smile, yes smile, not smirk.

"I don't plan to" Soon both fell asleep in each others arms, thankfully it was saturday tomorrow, for Serenity she got the weekend off, but for Kaiba to even get close to Joey would have to go to his work because Joey worked on saturdays.

Finally, maybe Serenity will have a happy ending

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

Kaiba's limo drove up to the address Serenity gave Seto, it was a big building, but for some reason it didn't seem right.

He existed his limo walking up to the doors, this was it, to confront the Mutt, and win his sister, but still it's getting the Mutt to agree, that was the hard part.

Kaiba swung open the doors of the building, and what he saw at the front desk shocked him, with confusion, humor, and just down right evil ideas, there in front of him was a sign with large printed letters.
