Through It All

Chapter 12: Gunshot

He didn't know how it happened but sometime he had fallen asleep next to Serenity on the bed. He was on his back while she was on her side, her one arm lightly draped over his chest. He guessed he was more tired than he had realized.

Something had woken him up and he saw now there was car light flooding through the window. Finally his limo was here. He got up lightly as not to wake Serenity just yet. He made his way over to the window relieved that they could finally make their way home.

As soon as he saw what car was standing just outside the window he ducked out of sight.

"Oh fuck." He muttered to himself.

It was them. Their kidnappers. He had to get Serenity away. They could not be caught again. He crawled over to the bed, lightly shaking her.

"Serenity." She slowly woke up, blinking a few times, she saw the car lights and then turned to him smiling. When she saw his face though, he smile vanished and panic replaced it.

"Kaiba... what's going on?"

They were interrupted by shouts coming from just outside the door, his instinct told him that they would be coming through there any minute.

"Serenity lie out straight in the middle of the bed, don't ask questions. And whatever happens, Serenity, I want you to promise that you won't move." She looked at him with wide eyes and muttered an "I promise." She did as he told her and then he covered her with the blankets. If you looked at the bed it looked as if it was a neatly made up bed because Serenity was lying in the middle, and because it was an old bed, it sagged in the middle. (I've actually done this before, my mom came looking for me and couldn't find me and when she got worried I decided to show myself, so I'm just proving that it isn't impossible.) Kaiba quickly got under the bed, just as the door was broken off the hinges.

"It looks empty." One of the kidnappers shouted to someone outside.

"Look properly, don't leave anything unturned!" Was his reply.

Kaiba felt his heart drop, this couldn't be happening to them.

He saw feet, and he readied himself, obviously the first place they would look was under the bed, but maybe Serenity would be safe. Kaiba was at a disadvantage because he was on the floor.

The events that followed happened all so quickly, it's still all a blur to him now.

He was pulled out from under the bed, and repeatedly punched. The words. "You will pay for running away." Ran through his head. Then the punching stopped. He looked up and there stood Serenity with the chair in her hands. The man that had been punching him slumped to the floor. Serenity had knocked him out. Luckily there had only been one, the rest were still outside.

Serenity dropped to her knees next to Kaiba, there were tears in her eyes.

"Kaiba, are you okay?" She lightly touched his face.

"My, my, what do we have here? My most favourite girl."

They both looked up and in the door way, there stood the red haired man. Serenity's worst nightmare.

"Get up."

Serenity didn't move, so he pulled out his gun.

"I said get up."

Serenity slowly got up and Kaiba followed, standing between the gun and Serenity.

"Kaiba, you filthy bastard, get out of my way so I can see my beautiful." Kaiba heard more cars pull up outside and he just knew by the commotion that it was his people, only a little while longer and this would all be over... hopefully he would still be alive.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY NOW." Spit flew from the red haired mans mouth and his face grew red.

Everything went into slow motion.

Kaiba stood still and calmly said. "No."

"I will have to get rid of you then."

Serenity let out a cry and a gunshot sounded through the air.









Kaiba had been hit to the floor, but not by a bullet. Serenity was on top of him, unmoving. He saw the red haired man staring down at them, horror etched into his face.

"I killed her... and I never got to have her..." He dropped the gun to the floor and then fell to his knees. Just then one of Kaiba's security guards came in and immediately hand cuffed the kidnapper. It was all over.

Serenity...

He moved and she slowly moved her head up to look at him. His eyes grew wide, she wasn't dead. Tears were streaming down her face.

"Kaiba I've been hit." It came out as a hoarse painful whisper. He helped her, giving thought to nothing else. He helped her up, the bullet had hit her arm. He went outside, put her in the back of a black security car and then got in next to her. One of his security men got in the front, turned on the engine and drove away speedily, already knowing what the destination would be. The hospital.
