Chapter Five: Returning For A While

Serenity watched in confusion as he opened the door, leading her down the same two hallways as when she has first come. She truly didn't understand her master. One minute he was angry the other sad, she didn't understand how his moods changed to quickly, and truthfully she thought she never would.

She smiled when she saw the stars, it had been awhile since she had been outside, and it felt good. She breathed in the cold crisp air, as the wind blew through her long brown hair making it flow gracefully behind her, she then turned to him, her eyes bright once more.

" Where are you taking me?" she asked, a little scared at what his reply would be. He smirked at her. " I'm not saying, now can you just come?" he asked grabbing her arm gently bringing her to him as they then flew into the sky. Serenity's eyes immediately widened as she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, for fear o falling down.

They had flown in the midnight sky, the moonlight as their guide to see. Shortly after awhile he landed softly in front of where they first met. He then began to walk out of the park. She wanted to scream for Joey, maybe he would hear her, and surely he missed her.

They walked up to the six-story apartment and then up the stairs. Kaiba then motioned her to the small window. She didn't need to be told twice as she looked inside the window where her brother lay sleeping peacefully. She sighed sadly. " He probably forgot about me," she said, her voice full of sadness.

" He's sleeping, it's the first time he's slept all week" Kaiba said trying to be gentle. But it was hard. He had lived most of his life this way, and trying to be nice was one of his greatest challenges yet. " Can I wake him? I just want to see him," she said, her eyes filled with hope. " Fine, but tell him this is the last time, your lucky I even brought you here" he said adding the last part; he didn't want to sound too nice.

She smiled and jumped through the open window, and crept over to where he slept. She then pushed him lightly, trying to wake him. He steered slightly, but that was it. She smiled in a mischief manner, and then she pushed him off the little bed.

He fell to the floor making a small "ow" noise. He slowly rose to see what had caused him to fall. His brown eyes widened as he looked at his baby sister. " S-Serenity? Is that you?" he asked in disbelief. " Yes it is Joey" she ran to him, hugging him tightly as tears of joy slid own her red cheeks. " Oh Joey, I've missed you so much" she cried.

" Me too sis, but its all right now, were together and I won't let anything happen to you, I promise," he said comforting her. She sniffed and pulled away. " Joey . . ." she trailed off. How was she supposed to tell him? Tell him he would never see her again, it hurt, and she hated Kaiba for it, but it was better then not seeing him tonight she thought.

Joey looked at her strangely as he scratched the back of his head. " What's wrong? Did anyone hurt you?" he asked, instantly getting serious, his now happy features turning dark. She laughed nervously. " No of course not Joey, it's just that I can't. . . I can't . . ." she couldn't say it, it felt wrong, and she didn't want to hurt him.

" You can't what?' he asked, his eyes full of concern, he was getting worried. " Joey, I can't come back! I know, it's horrible but I don't have a say in this" she cried out. Joey stood there shocked. What the hell is she talking about he thought. " Serenity, don't worry, you've been through a lot, your just confused, maybe you should get some rest" he said trying to give her a hug, but she just pushed him away.

" Joey! I'm not confused at all! You know about the people being mysteriously killed?" she asked him, wiping away a few tears. " Yes, there's been more, why do you know who's been doing it?" he asked a little scared. " Vampires" she said quietly. Joey looked at his little sister. " Are you sure your okay?" he asked, putting his hand on her forehead.

" Joey it's true! And I was caught, and he said this is the last time I can see you" she cried harder. Why wasn't he getting this? She thought sadly. " Serenity I just don't believe it, why don't you just get some rest and maybe everything will be clear in the morning" he said gently.

" She won't be here tomorrow morning or ever for that matter, she is telling the truth so why don't you make the best of your time while you still can" Kaiba said entering the room. " Who the hell are you? What are you doing in my house, get out" Joey yelled at the man, standing in front of the young girl. Kaiba smirked at this.

In an instant he had grabbed Serenity and stood in front of him, making Joey gasp. He let go of the young girl, and continued to look at the blond boy. " You have about an hour before she leaves" Kaiba said taking a seat on a near by chair, his eyes watching them.

The hour had gone by fast for them; they had barely talked, just hugged and cried. Neither wanted to let the other go, but she knew that her time was slowly coming to an end, and she dreaded to go back to the lair.

Kaiba stood up and walked over to them. " Time is up, and dawn is coming soon, very soon, so lets go," he said. It had made her cry harder as she gave her brother a final hug. " Bye Joey" she said ready to pull away, she couldn't look at him, and the hurt in his eyes was too painful for her to bear.

" No" Joey said holding her tightly. " Joey, please don't make this harder, I don't want to leave either," she said. " No I don't want to lose you Serenity" he said his eyes full of anger and sadness. " Me either, but what can I do? What can you do?" she asked. Joey just starred at his sister, not even bothering to reply to what she had asked.

Kaiba glared at him. " Serenity dawn will be here, and we will barely make it already so tell him to let go before I make him," Kaiba said harshly. Serenity turned to Joey, her eyes read and puffy from crying most of the night. " Joey I have to go" she said. " You want to leave don't you? You don't need me anymore is that it?" he asked her.

" Joey that's not it at all, you know I would stay if I could, but I can't and I'm so sorry" she said. She then watched as Kaiba ran to the window, a little fear in his eyes. " I won't make it . . . We should of left, but you had to drag it out! Now dawn is coming and I'm going to die," he said angrily. Why did i even do this? I do one good deed and it turns on me he thought.

" Good, then I can have my sister" Joey said, a small smirk playing on his lips. Serenity struggled in his grip, she needed to get free. Finally she had and ran to her master. " Maybe we can still make it and-" " No, it's to late" he said harshly. Serenity bit her lip; she would have to make a decision right now.

She could let him die, and all her worries would be over and she could live with her brother in peace, but did she really want to kill him? Of course she hated him for everything he had done, but to kill him? She couldn't do that, even if it meant a life apart from her brother, she didn't want to live a life of guilt. Knowing that he could of lived but didn't because she was selfish.

She looked at Kaiba, her mind finally made up; she had made a decision, one that would change the rest of her life. . .
