CHAPTER 7

 

 

SCHOOL

 

“They weren't late, Seto had seen to that,” thought Serenity as she walked slowly towards the school or what she had been calling it on the drive over, her doom.

 

“Even after our morning ah, session,” she thought trying unsuccessfully from keeping the blush from her cheeks as she remembered his fingers. He looked down at her noticing the blush on her cheeks.

“Your thinking about me aren't you. About what we did, and what we are going to do to one another,” he said wickedly, his hand trailing secretly under her shirt to stroke her back causing her to unconsciously shiver and gasp in response. She walked faster, trying to get away from his wandering hands and the feelings he was trying to arouse in her.

 

“Seto not here. Someone will see.” She muttered, flustered by his actions.

 

“They will see only how lucky I am to be here with you,” he replied giving her a devilish grin. Serenity gave him a withering look, giggling,

 

“I would never have thought of you as the romantic type, with all that cheesiness.”

 

“You know you just ruined a perfectly good moment,” he replied leaning over to give her a kiss.

 

That's when he saw them. Staring at them or more importantly him.

 

“Seto what is it?” Asked Serenity in earnest upon seeing Seto's formerly mischievous expression turn cold and dark. She followed the direction of his gaze to where her brother and his friends now stood watching them.

 

“Big brother,” thought Serenity too scared to move.

 

 

Seto watched in silence as Joey's eyes meet Serenity's, his expression speaking volumes. Reluctant approval.

“Well maybe approval isn't the term I would use to describe the situation,” thought Seto as he leaned closer to Serenity's ear.

“I will see you later.”

Serenity watched as Seto made his departure without saying a word to Joey. For that she was grateful. She took a tentative step towards her older brother. Looking behind him to make sure that Seto was out of earshot Joey began reluctantly,

“You know sis,” sighed Joey heavily, “I have never questioned your choices about anything in the past because well compared to the stuff I do you are a saint. But you know I have to tell you this situation takes the cake when it comes to crazy stunts. Trust me if you had tried to talk to me before I wouldn't have listened. So um I guess that's one on me…but still…Kaiba? Hmmm… You can thank Yugi's logic and belief in everyone's goodness even Kaiba's speech oh and Tea's friendship and family speech for my eventual acceptance of this…situation. I have one question for you. Why Kaiba? Anyone else and I wouldn't have had a problem. But Kaiba, he's not a um…nice person you know that right?”

Serenity closed her eyes and thought about how she would answer, silently thanking Yugi and Tea for their help. She knew how notoriously pig headed her brother could be so it must have been a long and difficult conversation.

“Because he makes me feel like I'm the most important person there is. I know that to most people he seems cruel and cold only caring about his business, money, and revenge, in that order. But you know just like to many people I seem like the smart, quite sister of Joey Wheeler. But is that only who I am? Or am I many more things? Like Seto I have many facets. I am so glad that you are at least willing to recognize that I have made a choice and are willing to abide by it. Thank you big brother.” Serenity breathed out a sigh or relief wiping away the tears that threatened to well up in her eyes.

“Ah sis, you and I will stick together forever. No matter what I will be there for you. And don't worry you can talk to me about anything. That's what big brother's are for,” exclaimed Joey cheerfully putting an arm around Serenity and leading her towards the school.

“That and beating up good for nothing boyfriends,” he added an evil glint in his eye. Giggling Serenity pinched her brother playfully on the arm as they headed towards their class. Serenity felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her. Her reunion with Seto and her brother's acceptance of her subsequent relationship with Seto had meant the world to her and had finally alleviated the stress she had been feeling over the past few months.

 

Meanwhile…

“I saw what happened at the dance. Quite the embarrassment. We have something in common. ..If you want to know how you can get some revenge come and meet me at the Café école at 4pm, don't be late!”

Tristan read the note a second time before shoving it hastily back into his pocket. His blood boiled at the thought of getting back at Seto and Serenity for embarrassing him.

“I will show Serenity what kind of person Kaiba really is and then when she is broken and comes crawling back to me I will make her mine, body and mind, and treat her like the little whore she is,” Tristan closed his locker and shouted over to Joey.

“Hey man I can't come over today, I have to pick up some things for my ma.”

“Yah, Yah. Just make sure you come over tomorrow `cause there's a new game I want to play and I heard it's better on two player.”

“No prob man,” answered Tristan before heading in the direction of his class.

 

 

Serenity stared down at the campus grounds watching the couples walking cheerfully away from school hand in hand as they headed off to lunch. For a long time she envied them and their ability to show their true feelings openly without fear. Now she felt like she had been given the world. Lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the figure stealthily sneaking up from behind her. The figure made its way silently towards her a dark gleam flashing in their eye. Finger's outstretched the figure brought a hand of icy fingers under an unsuspecting Serenity's shirt flat onto her back and the other to cover her mouth. As soon as the fingers made contact Serenity panicked screaming into the hand now covering her mouth until she heard the dark laughter coming from behind her. She recognized that laughter anywhere. She fought the flush that was creeping into her cheeks as she desperately struggled against the tight hold of one Seto Kaiba. Finding her efforts to be largely ineffective she did the only thing she could think of.

She bit him.

Pulling his hand back quickly she turned around to meet his sheepish gaze.

“I can't believe you bit me.” Smirking up at him her arms snaked around his neck, throwing him off-balance. Before he could steady himself, she pulled him down into a crushing kiss. She broke the kiss whispering quickly into his skin lowering her voice to a purr,

“There are a lot of things you won't believe about me,” she exclaimed before placing another heated kiss on his unsuspecting lips. Words failed him, but luckily, nature took over as he captured her mouth, forcing it open so he can ravish it with his tongue, his hands roaming over her body possessively, remembering every inch of her from earlier. Every beautiful curve, he knew by heart.

They broke apart at last, savouring in each others embrace, letting the warmth of the late afternoon sun warm them.

 

 

Café Ecole

Tristan waited in the café as he had been instructed trying to hide his excitement. He had spent the entire day trying to think up the most vicious forms of pay back he could think of. He though again of the embarrassment of the romantic dinner he had with Serenity when Kaiba walked in and made a fool of him.

“They must have been screwing each other behind my back even then. I bet she was laughing at me the whole time. That whore. Well no matter, when I'm through with her she will realize the whore she really is,” he though bitterly as he watched another person walk in. He was trying to decide if it was indeed the person he was waiting for when the person looked directly at him and walked quickly over to him. As the person moved closer Tristan noticed that the person who had sent the letter was a woman, she looked to have been a rather attractive woman once upon a time. She slid into the booth across from him wasting no time on introductions.

“Tristan the reason I have contacted you was because we have something in common. A general hatred for Seto Kaiba for ruining our lives. I saw what he did to you at that dance with that slut of a girl Serenity,” seethed the woman as she spoke.

“I have been waiting for the perfect time to strike that bastard down and I think if you and I worked together we could accomplish great things. We can tear them down and leave them broken like they left us. Give them everything that they deserve and more.” Grinning wickedly Tristan responded coolly,

“Where do we being.”

“Well then Tristan, my name is Elaine and have I got a story for you.”

 

 

Elaine's Story

 

“It all began 4 years ago when we where both freshman in high school. I was in several different clubs and on student council and at the time thought myself fortunate for catching the eye of one Seto Kaiba. That was the beginning of the end for me. I knew that even at that time he had a reputation for being two things, intense and a womanizer. These two things are what make up Seto Kaiba. He has no room in his heart for love only money and to him women are his playthings, for him to use until his is bored and then tossed aside. This was what happened to me. Ignoring the warnings of my friends I actively pursued him believing I needed to prove my love and devotion by sleeping with him. He seemed responsive and somewhat warm at first but I guess there was always something at the back of my mind saying get away before its too late. But it was too late for me. I had thought he cared for me and so I shared myself with him thinking he felt the same. Boy was I wrong. One day out of the blue he stopped all contact with me. No explanations. Like I was only trash to him undeserving of even a second glance. This man has no heart no one he cares for. So in order to crush him we need to expose him. We need to show Serenity the monster he really is on the inside. That he is only using her for her body before he crushes her at his whim. She will be devastated and his precious reputation will be ruined. They will finally get what they deserve.”

Tristan leaned in his interest peaked by Elaine's story,

“Where do we start?”

“With the planting of the seeds of doubt. Serenity is the weak link in all of this, once she begins to doubt Kaiba's affection it will be downhill from there. We just have to make sure their breakup is as public and as messy as possible or else Kaiba will be unaffected. He certainly doesn't have any feelings for this Serenity girl so that's why we have to approach this carefully.”

“I agree there is no way someone like Seto Kaiba could ever love anyone other then himself or his money,” added Tristan enthusiastically.
