Thanks for the review!! Man, I felt so happy. Anyways, I hope no one
thought that I was strange making Kaiba do all those crazy things. ^^;; I
have to admit, if a guy did that to me, well, let's say my dad would kill
him, bring him back to life, then kill him again.
NOTE: For 'vendred13', the reason why I typed, Kaiba laughed like he never had was because I was trying to make a hidden comment, what I mean is that I tried to put it in a way not alot of people won't really understand/ see, meaning there was a uncertain trait that brought out the "Seto Kaiba" people wouldn't normally notice, meaning of that, something is going to happen. ^^;; I was starting to confuse myself there.
Anyway, a friend of mine inspired the beginning of this chapter. She was reading a raw Japanese manga so it gave me an idea.... [evil laugh =D]
And a small note, I just realized for people who aren't very fluent with English, if there is a word that you don't understand highlight the word and type d. It should lead you to a new window that makes the dictionary. It's a cool system ff.net staff made. I salute you!!

Chapter two: The Feeling Gets Stronger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was morning in the Wheelers residence. It was decided that Serenity could stay with her father and Joey, as long as she needed. But in the weekend she would have to see her mother. [Normally like in college with a dorm] Joey and Serenity's was never really categorized as a responsible father. Joey had explained to her, that if there was a car out, their father was home, and if it wasn't, well you might already guess.
It wasn't an early morning, just around an hour and a half before school starts. Serenity was already up and getting her things ready. You see, she was VERY excited to attend the school. She has been to the school before, but actually attending it was a different story.
Serenity now placed some papers and writing utensils inside her schoolbag and got her uniform out. She had lent the uniform from her new friend Tea, at least until she receives her own. Serenity leaned next to the window and noticed her father wasn't home. Soon she decided to open the window revealing the wind the swiftly brushed against her cheeks. Serenity looked at her clock and realized the time she had and decided to bathe to kill time.
When she finished her bath, she turned the faucet of the tub. Next she pulled out the towel that was nicely folded, on the rack next to the curtain. She took the towel and wrapped it around her, as she took a smaller one to dry off her hair. As soon as she finished drying off the major damp pasts of her hair, she hung the smaller one back to the rack and walked to her room barefooted.
As she closer the door of the spare room, which now belonged to her, she noticed she left the window opened. Still barefooted, she walked to the window and she stepped on something that scared her to death, meaning she screamed.
With her towel still wrapped around her, she fell to the rug. Serenity looked at the item she stepped on and sweatdroped to see she stepped on a strap lock of her dairy. She looked at it closely and realized it wasn't her that left it open, it could only be opened by,
"Joey..." she said with a grudge.
(Joey: [everyone looking at him] What?)
Suddenly a slender body slipped through the window. Serenity's face was pale, white face. The person looked down to see Serenity and held out a hand. Serenity toke the hand and looked at the person and was dazed, soon she realized the eyes of which she looked at and her eyes widened. She covered herself tightly and screamed to the top of her lungs,
"KKKAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(thanks my friend ^.~)
After getting dressed, Kaiba and Serenity walked down the street without looking at each other, with a red handprint across Kaiba's face, and a blush on Serenity's cheeks.
"So..." Kaiba started, without looking at Serenity's face.
"SO?" Serenity exclaimed, facing his direction, "YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT!!! A HENTAI!!"
"I got the picture, when you slapped me, " Kaiba calmly said as his eyes were low and he sticked his pinky finger in his ear, "Damn, you're noisy."
"Well, why were you there, anyway?" Serenity said making her tone lower.
"Why do I have to tell you?" Kaiba said looking at her, and thought, 'Aw, damn!'
"You see, hime-sama." Kaiba said, smiling. Giving Serenity the creeps, "As soon as I got home. I saw the slippers I lent you, then I thought about you and then I thought what if something happens to her. So I camped out on the roof, until something happens."
"So you watched me all night?"
"Of course." Kaiba soon snapped and pounded his head on the next telephone poll. (a/n: If you're wondering how Kaiba changed into his uniform, he had it with him and changed in the Wheelers, although he didn't want to, the curse killed him to death. ^^;;)
"That reminds me," Kaiba said, "What about your idiot of a brother? He still asleep?"
"He can sleep through anything. Even when if there were snakes in his bed, he wouldn't wake up until it bites him. Plus, I had to leave him a little note." Serenity spoke with a smile.
"That took you fifteen minutes?"
"If you were him, then you would see what I mean." Serenity said with a smirk.
"Lazy ass, mutt!" Kaiba mumbled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey got up from his bed and sighed as another school day was a head of him. He turned to his nightstand and saw his alarm clock and the note Serenity had left him. He looked at it then the back, and then finally opened it.
Dearest Joey,
Hope you had a good sleep. If you are wondering where I am, I'm on my way to school. I woke up earlier and well, [scratched out: I took a bath th] Kaiba somehow came in and I had to take him out because I knew that my brother, who eats wheeties, would eventually knock his lights out. So I'm walking to the subway to school with him. Please don't worry about me.
Serenity.
Joey crumpled the letter and stood up. He took one step and then tripped on some textbooks. He looked up to see another note labeled, Joey. He opened it and read,
Joey,
I set up that little trap for you. I knew my words wouldn't be enough. But this time I'm telling you straight forward. PLEASE DON'T WORRY!!!
Serenity.
He gripped the letter and got up. He looked at the door and noticed it was a little opened. He slowly shifted his eyes, through the hole, making sure the traps would surely stop. He smiled to see nothing else. He swung the door opened and screamed to see a bear fall from the ceiling. As soon Joey stopped screaming, he realized that it wasn't a BEAR- bear, but a teddy bear and it had a granola bar and a note tied with a light blue ribbon on two of it's paws. He took the note and groaned,
Don't worry, last one Joey,
I told you not to worry! I knew you wouldn't listen to me. Last time, don't worry. Okay?
Serenity
Ps. Remember who's got the power?
Pss. Have breakfast! It's made out of wheat!
Joey smiled as he saw the chibi drawing of Serenity holding a granola bar while the other had made a peace sign while a picture of Kaiba dressed as a dog, pissed.
"It's about time seeing someone else in a dog suit," Joey smiled, "Does she have a camera hidden in here?" Joey said looking at the bear, with one eye into one of the bear's eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile with Serenity and Kaiba, Kaiba noticed Serenity was in the uniform in his school. And that's were the silence broke. "You mean you were actually serious about going to my school?"
"Well, I was just trying to get closer to Joey, the coolest brother in the world, that eats WHEETIES!!" Serenity smiled as she gave a slight giggle from yesterday's joke, "Ha! Wheeties..."
"Personally, I like the sailor uniform better..." Kaiba muttered, turning to another direction.
"Excuse me?" Serenity said, looking at Kaiba, suddenly her stomach did the talking.
(Ah...Kaiba, [swings her index finger] thinking dirty? ^.^;; That's a big no-no.)
"I mean, we must cure that hunger." Kaiba said holding her shoulders facing her to a cafe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's site here." Kaiba exclaimed sitting down, on a vertical table that lay across the wall, behind the window, showing the scenery of the streets. Kaiba was holding a plate for breakfast, some rice balls, an apple, two bananas, and a slice of pie. While Serenity held two cups of tea.
"Go ahead, eat." Kaiba growled not looking at Serenity, tapping the plate with his fork, "I'm not paying for you if your not going to take it."
"Arigatou..."Serenity blushed closing her eyes, meaning she was broke. Well actually she left her money at home, because of the fuss with Kaiba there. Anyway, Kaiba got a big bite out of his lemon pie slice.
"You like sweets?"
"Iie [no],"
"Oh," Serenity sighed trying to make a conversation.
"Hmm..."Kaiba turned to see Serenity just sipping her cup of tea, "Why aren't you eating? There is plenty on the plate."
"No, thanks." Serenity said still ignoring his glance.
"Look, just eat it," He toke his fork sticking it into the pie, taking a proportion of the cake, he turned his head and said, "Here. It's really good."
'Is he in the influence of the spell?' Serenity asked herself then said, "N- no. Really, I'm okay."
"What? You're dieting?" Kaiba said, now pissed, "You don't looking like you need one."
Serenity blushed on that comment and said, "I-iie. [No]"
"Is it because I bought it?"
"Iie."
"Then...?"
"Okay, okay." Serenity placed her mouth over the piece and chewed.
"I don't think that was so bad." Kaiba said in awe, looking at Serenity chew the bits of pie, while he toke another bite of the pie.
"I really can't," Serenity turned to see another scene of the spell-taking place.
"You need to eat, Hime-sama." Kaiba said smiling feeding her a one of rice balls.
"No thank you." Serenity smiled, but Kaiba just placed the piece in her mouth.
"I did that just now, didn't I?" Kaiba asked, as Serenity nodded.
"You know, Kaiba." Serenity smiled, after finishing chewing the last bits of the rice, " Besides, Onii-chan [big bro in a girly; younger kiddy kind of way], and Yugi, I would puffer you as a good example as a role model. You are very brave, and confident about your decisions. Plus, you even and that brotherly bond with your brother, Mokuba. It kinda makes me feel, I don't know, somewhat...related to your feelings."
"Point?"
"I don't know..."
"Oh...that cleared my thoughts..." Kaiba said sarcastically.
"APPOLIGIZE!!!" Serenity said getting up.
"Oh shut up!! Like I wou-" Kaiba snapped, "Gomen nasai, Hime-sama. Gomen Nasai, Hime-sama. GOMEN NASAI, HIME-SAMA!!" Kaiba pleaded, bowing.
"Man, gotta love the power!" Serenity said as he patted Kaiba's head.
"I hate you..." Kaiba said loud enough for to Serenity to hear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Kaiba and Serenity were at the subway waiting for the train, Kaiba decided to speak first, as the train stopped and opened the doors, "Wouldn't it be easier if I called one of the limos?"
"I really don't attempt showing up fancy on the first day." Serenity said as both she and Kaiba stepped into the cart. Well Kaiba most likely covered his mouth thinking that the subway was for lowly commoners. Thinking, he thought that if he breathes the air he would eventually die. Since there weren't any seats available, Serenity and Kaiba held on the handles, which Kaiba first thought was poisonous.
"Why am I doing this? I-I mean, do you want me to cry your schoolbag?" Kaiba said as the cursed slowly descended.
"Iie. It's okay."
"Are you sure?"
"Hai, Kaiba." Serenity scoffed.
"Hand it to me."
"No thank you." Serenity said as she turned her head away from Kaiba's glance. As Kaiba gave a big sigh.
"Serenity!"
Serenity and Kaiba's heads turned to see Duke slowly approached them. "Hey, I tried to call you, but your brother told me you were out."
"I never wa-" Serenity stopped and remembered her over-protective brother, and gave a small smirk, soon a smile, "Hai, I was out. Gomen Nasai. [Sorry.]" Serenity smiled, as Kaiba became angry about their conversation.
"It's okay." Duke smiled back and noticed Kaiba next to her, "Uwau. [Wow] The famous Seto Kaiba taking the tram? Geez, you really are like all of us!!"
"I'm just here for Serenity's safety and sake..." Kaiba warned not looking at Duke.
"Sure you are. Why couldn't you just pick her up in the limo?" Duke gave a sly smile.
"Hime-sama, didn't prefer to..."
"Hime-sama?" Duke questioned. The train made a hard turn, hearing the wheels screech. Kaiba stood still as Serenity's body turned straight towards Kaiba, while Duke was unfortunately not holding on to any of the handles. His body collapsed into Serenity's back as his left arm swung around her waist as the other around her neck. That's when Kaiba turned to see Serenity's eyes meet. Kaiba felt the curse crawling in his veins, making him enraged.
"This is a bad sign, right?" Duke spoke, who stood still.
"Yup." Serenity replied, knowing what Kaiba was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"Crud."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The train stopped, as the doors swung opened. Serenity walked out as she dragging Kaiba yelling, "YOU PERVERTED DUMBASS!! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HIME- SAMA, SERENITY!! IF I HAD IT MY WAY, I WOULD TAKE A GUN AND SHOOT THAT FREAKY, HORNY, LITTLE THING YOU CALL A -"
"Nice seeing you, Duke." Serenity said waving Duke goodbye, cutting Kaiba's word, "We'll talk again later!!"
"OFF!! I WOULD ALSO KILL YOU, BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE, AND THEN KILL YOU AGAIN!!! KUTABARE!! KUTABARE!!!! KUTABARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![GO TO HELL!!!]"
"Com'on, Kaiba." Serenity continued, ignoring everyone's stares.
'What's with him?' Duke asked himself watching Kaiba curse out on the people looking at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm sorry about that. And we have to walk eight more blocks to reach school." Kaiba said as his dazed face came into place.
"Don't worry about it." Serenity patted his back, "Eight blocks isn't that far..."
"That's not the problem, if your brother heard about it, there will be no end." Kaiba sighed.
"Maybe, we should arrive separately." Serenity added, reaching the gates of the school.
"What the?" Kaiba yelled, "You're sensei is horrible! You're upper classmates, are disgusting. And-and..."
"You're in a class across the school grounds. There won't be a point for you to be with me, if you're taking the long way. Don't worry about me. I would be all right! I don't want to go through more embarrassment. You don't deserve it."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, SERENITY!!!" Tristian yelled, walking up to her, "How's Kaiba doing?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Serenity smiled showing Kaiba behind her.
"So how's the, you know, 'phase' going on?" Tristian spoke without embarrassing him.
"Phase? Don't be so rude to her." Kaiba spoke, in reminder of Serenity, the cursed kicked in, " Serenity is now my Ojou-sama. [my queen]." Kaiba said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. As Serenity stood frozen.
Tristian stood still with his eyes twitching, the only word cam into mind was, "Huh?"
"Kaiba, you baka!! [stupid] I can't be addressed as a queen!!! That's too high of royalty!!" Serenity stomped her foot.
"Okay, Hime-sama!!" Kaiba smiled, as Serenity made another groan.
"That's it he snapped." Tristian spoke.
"OH my God!!" Kaiba yelled looking at the clock, "Class is about to begin. Do you have everything?" Kaiba started looking into her schoolbag, still influence by the curse, "Your handkerchief? Your writing utensils? Your books? Your purse? Your pencil board?"
"Kaiba!!" Serenity placed her hand down, "I'll be okay. You're free when you're in class, okay? Make it last." she finished smiling.
"Okay." Kaiba smiled, as Tristian took her away, for class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God, I can't believe I'm doing this..." Kaiba said to himself, hiding in the shrubs of next to the window of Serenity's classroom. He has been there since the bell rang. He had a gadget that would allow him to listen to Serenity's conversation with others. When he hugged her he placed a pin on her vest. Unknowing to Serenity it was a small microphone.
(Sneaky isn't he? ^.^;; But it's so sweet that he does all this, why can't a guy do this for me? T_T waaah!!!)
So far then hasn't been much of a threat till he heard a guy, talking to her, after class.
"So...do you have a boyfriend?" the guys said knocking Serenity to a corner.
"B-boyfriend? " Serenity said shifting to another but the boy's arm blocked her from moving, "I-iie."
"No matter," he said leaning down, but a swift "wind" took her away. Serenity opened her eyes, and noticed the hair and the eyes.
"Ka-kaiba? What the hell are you doing?" Serenity asked as she saw his eyes, meaning the servant mode is now in the on button.
"Did he touch you?" Kaiba asked.
"Seto," Serenity mumbled.
"Hey you," Kaiba stopped and turned to see the guy face to face, "I would be scared if I were you." Kaiba finished as he made his face that scared people to death. He ran away, not away- away, more like, AAAAAAAWWWWWWWAAAAAYYYY- away.
As female students looked at Serenity questionably, knowing what Kaiba is named for, "Kaiba, why do you have leaves in your hair? You were in class, right?" Serenity looked at the leaves and turned Kaiba to see her eye to eye.
That froze Kaiba still, "C-course I was. I was just passing by." Serenity looked at him but Kaiba just turned and left. As soon as Kaiba left the scene, there were girls coming from left and right.
"Is he your step-brother?"
"What's your relation with Kaiba?"
"Is he your 'boo'?"
"Hold it!!" Serenity yelled as the girls stopped asking, "First of all, my brother is Joey Wheeler. Kaiba is just someone I know. And what is a 'boo'?"
(Sorry, this is a slang made in the states if you didn't know, mainly people who don't live in the states)
"You don't know what a 'boo' is?"
"Boy, you're school must be old fashioned. A 'boo' is an American Slang for boyfriend. You know...lover?"
"Lover?" Serenity repeated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is stupid..." Kaiba said as he listened to her conversation, but the only word that was heard was "lover"
"Lover?" Kaiba shouted, as he ran toward Serenity, which he followed his sense of direction. "Damn, is today, 'Harass Serenity Wheeler' day?"
"SERENITY!!" Kaiba jumped into the window but widened his eyes were he saw what was inside the room, toilets. "Crap."
"THERE IS A HENTAI!!![PERVERT] HE'S PEEKING!!! HE'S PEEKING!!!" Girls yelled throwing items onto Kaiba who eventually fell out.
"Kaiba!!" Serenity shouted, running to the window. Serenity searched her eyes to find Kaiba but was not found, "Kaiba?!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is REALLY stupid!!" Kaiba said with his heavy breathing, leaning against the wall of the school, " Man, I'm tired..."
"Then rest," Serenity walked up to him. She placed her hand on Kaiba's hair, and started to caressing it, "You did too much today. I can't afford you to be hurt."
"Same with you..." Kaiba mumbled, as he smiled as she did the same, but slowly frowned.
She stopped her hand and placed it down to her side, "My classmates...say that...you act like your-your my lover.........."
Kaiba froze his stare. Nothing was felt. Only a question of, "What does that make you feel?"
"Do you have a problem with that?" Kaiba asked, hoping that her answer was the same as he had thought.
".......I find it kind of wrong, actually......" Serenity blushed with a little smile, where as Kaiba made that Anime-faint we all know and love.
'This is pathetic.' Kaiba thought with a sigh.
"Because, Joey is really the most important person in my life. And now that you posses the curse, I would have never got to know you." Serenity continued, as Kaiba's cheeks soon got warm. "You now act like another brother, I could get along with."
"Serenity..."
"Ah, Gomen nasai," Serenity said bowing, "I didn't mean to sound so cheesy..."
"Iie!! It's alright. Just listen," Kaiba spoke holding Serenity's shoulders, "Now I don't mind being like this, captivated my the curse. I just," Kaiba looked down, not looking at Serenity's eyes, then hugged her tight, Serenity didn't hug back but just stood lifelessly, "Hope you feel something special when, I mean, every time I hold you in my embrace, in my arms..." Kaiba finished, while stroking Serenity's hair.
"Seto...?" Serenity mumbled, still unsure of Kaiba's actions.
"GET THE FREAK AWAY FROM HER!!!" Joey yelled dividing Kaiba and Serenity's embrace, "YOU FIND SOME OTHER CHICK!!!" Joey complained as he took Serenity away. Serenity looked at her brother strangely then turned to Kaiba and waved good-bye.
"How did he know where I am?" Kaiba asked.
"Welcome to my world," Tristian spoke.
"Hmm...?" Kaiba turned and collapsed to the ground, "Where in hell did you com from?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaiba got home, and leaned against the front door. He was relived the day was done. Mokuba came down to see Kaiba waving a letter.
"Hey, Seto!!!" Mokuba said giving the letter to his brother, "This is a letter from a director of the most popular games."
"So?" Kaiba asked, reading the letter.
"What is it about?" Mokuba asked.
"It's a premier to a new version of this cheap game. I'm invited and 'obligated' to bring a guest."
"Then why don't you bring Serenity?"
"Yeah, sure....NANI[WHAT]?!" Kaiba said looking at his kid brother with wide eyes, "I can't bring her. That-that,"
"Will..."Mokuba started to continued to finish Kaiba's sentence.
"Embarrassment!!!" Kaiba shouted, "I-I can't!!"
"Com'on, Seto." Mokuba pleaded, "Besides you always wanted people to expect the unexpected with you. So show up with a girl."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaiba sat on Serenity's bed, waiting for her to return from her part-time job. Kaiba noticed a book on the floor and picked it up. It was open with a strap lock. He turned to the cover labeled, "DIARY" Kaiba gasped, to the thought of him getting another yelling. He never knew that Joey was the one who broke it. He looked through his back and found some glue.
Carefully he glued the edges of the lock back into place as he pressed the lock down. After a few seconds he realized it but the glue apparently was stuck on his palm. Worst was when the book was still open. He tried everything to get it off. He then rubbed it off his pants and surprisingly it worked, but it now sticked to his pants, over his...well...you know what I mean. Once again, Kaiba tried to get it off, but the problem was...
"Kaiba, what are you doing?" Serenity stepped into her room.
"Um..." Kaiba tried to think of a good excuse, "Thinking through a female point of view."
"Kaiba?!" Serenity wailed, "You not only violated my privacy, but also my diary!! My god you're molesting it?!"
"What the hell?" Kaiba asked, then snapped back, "Hime-sama, Just help me get this off."
"Fine." Serenity sighed bending to her knees, trying to get the book off without tearing the cloth, "What did you do?"
"Glue, okay?"
"Kaiba, this is harder that I thought," Kaiba raised an eyebrow at Serenity as she made a grunt, "You know what I meant!" Serenity turned around, her hair flipped, getting caught with the glue. Serenity felt her hair tugged, "Kaiba, let go of my hair."
"I'm not even touching it." Serenity turned and saw her hair stuck, Serenity leaned closer, big mistake. Her head was now stuck to Kaiba's pants
"Um...Kaiba my hair is stuck..."
"Seriously?"
"Man, if Joey sees us like this, I think I gag."
"That makes two of us..." Joey exclaimed, " Seto Kaiba, what the hell are you doing with my sister?"
The room was still. Joey was on front of the door. Kaiba and Serenity were at a spot, where Kaiba himself couldn't get out of. One question echoed, "How will be explain this?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stopping here. Sorry. Don't kill me...
NOTE: For 'vendred13', the reason why I typed, Kaiba laughed like he never had was because I was trying to make a hidden comment, what I mean is that I tried to put it in a way not alot of people won't really understand/ see, meaning there was a uncertain trait that brought out the "Seto Kaiba" people wouldn't normally notice, meaning of that, something is going to happen. ^^;; I was starting to confuse myself there.
Anyway, a friend of mine inspired the beginning of this chapter. She was reading a raw Japanese manga so it gave me an idea.... [evil laugh =D]
And a small note, I just realized for people who aren't very fluent with English, if there is a word that you don't understand highlight the word and type d. It should lead you to a new window that makes the dictionary. It's a cool system ff.net staff made. I salute you!!

After getting dressed, Kaiba and Serenity walked down the street without looking at each other, with a red handprint across Kaiba's face, and a blush on Serenity's cheeks.
"So..." Kaiba started, without looking at Serenity's face.
"SO?" Serenity exclaimed, facing his direction, "YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT!!! A HENTAI!!"
"I got the picture, when you slapped me, " Kaiba calmly said as his eyes were low and he sticked his pinky finger in his ear, "Damn, you're noisy."
"Well, why were you there, anyway?" Serenity said making her tone lower.
"Why do I have to tell you?" Kaiba said looking at her, and thought, 'Aw, damn!'

"So you watched me all night?"
"Of course." Kaiba soon snapped and pounded his head on the next telephone poll. (a/n: If you're wondering how Kaiba changed into his uniform, he had it with him and changed in the Wheelers, although he didn't want to, the curse killed him to death. ^^;;)
"That reminds me," Kaiba said, "What about your idiot of a brother? He still asleep?"

He gripped the letter and got up. He looked at the door and noticed it was a little opened. He slowly shifted his eyes, through the hole, making sure the traps would surely stop.

He took the note and groaned,
Don't worry, last one Joey,
I told you not to worry! I knew you wouldn't listen to me. Last time, don't worry. Okay?
Serenity
Ps. Remember who's got the power?
Pss. Have breakfast! It's made out of wheat!
Joey smiled as he saw the chibi drawing of Serenity holding a granola bar while the other had made a peace sign while a picture of Kaiba dressed as a dog, pissed.
"It's about time seeing someone else in a dog suit," Joey smiled, "Does she have a camera hidden in here?" Joey said looking at the bear, with one eye into one of the bear's eyes.

Meanwhile with Serenity and Kaiba, Kaiba noticed Serenity was in the uniform in his school. And that's were the silence broke. "You mean you were actually serious about going to my school?"
"Well, I was just trying to get closer to Joey, the coolest brother in the world, that eats WHEETIES!!" Serenity smiled as she gave a slight giggle from yesterday's joke, "Ha! Wheeties..."
"Personally, I like the sailor uniform better..." Kaiba muttered, turning to another direction.
"Excuse me?" Serenity said, looking at Kaiba, suddenly her stomach did the talking.
(Ah...Kaiba, [swings her index finger] thinking dirty? ^.^;; That's a big no-no.)
"I mean, we must cure that hunger." Kaiba said holding her shoulders facing her to a cafe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's site here." Kaiba exclaimed sitting down, on a vertical table that lay across the wall, behind the window, showing the scenery of the streets. Kaiba was holding a plate for breakfast, some rice balls, an apple, two bananas, and a slice of pie. While Serenity held two cups of tea.
"Go ahead, eat." Kaiba growled not looking at Serenity, tapping the plate with his fork, "I'm not paying for you if your not going to take it."
"Arigatou..."Serenity blushed closing her eyes, meaning she was broke. Well actually she left her money at home, because of the fuss with Kaiba there. Anyway, Kaiba got a big bite out of his lemon pie slice.
"You like sweets?"
"Iie [no],"
"Oh," Serenity sighed trying to make a conversation.
"Hmm..."Kaiba turned to see Serenity just sipping her cup of tea, "Why aren't you eating? There is plenty on the plate."
"No, thanks." Serenity said still ignoring his glance.
"Look, just eat it," He toke his fork sticking it into the pie, taking a proportion of the cake, he turned his head and said, "Here. It's really good."
'Is he in the influence of the spell?' Serenity asked herself then said, "N- no. Really, I'm okay."
"What? You're dieting?" Kaiba said, now pissed, "You don't looking like you need one."
Serenity blushed on that comment and said, "I-iie. [No]"
"Is it because I bought it?"
"Iie."
"Then...?"
"Okay, okay." Serenity placed her mouth over the piece and chewed.
"I don't think that was so bad." Kaiba said in awe, looking at Serenity chew the bits of pie, while he toke another bite of the pie.
"I really can't," Serenity turned to see another scene of the spell-taking place.
"You need to eat, Hime-sama." Kaiba said smiling feeding her a one of rice balls.
"No thank you." Serenity smiled, but Kaiba just placed the piece in her mouth.
"I did that just now, didn't I?" Kaiba asked, as Serenity nodded.
"You know, Kaiba." Serenity smiled, after finishing chewing the last bits of the rice, " Besides, Onii-chan [big bro in a girly; younger kiddy kind of way], and Yugi, I would puffer you as a good example as a role model. You are very brave, and confident about your decisions. Plus, you even and that brotherly bond with your brother, Mokuba. It kinda makes me feel, I don't know, somewhat...related to your feelings."
"Point?"
"I don't know..."
"Oh...that cleared my thoughts..." Kaiba said sarcastically.
"APPOLIGIZE!!!" Serenity said getting up.
"Oh shut up!! Like I wou-" Kaiba snapped, "Gomen nasai, Hime-sama. Gomen Nasai, Hime-sama. GOMEN NASAI, HIME-SAMA!!" Kaiba pleaded, bowing.
"Man, gotta love the power!" Serenity said as he patted Kaiba's head.
"I hate you..." Kaiba said loud enough for to Serenity to hear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Kaiba and Serenity were at the subway waiting for the train, Kaiba decided to speak first, as the train stopped and opened the doors, "Wouldn't it be easier if I called one of the limos?"
"I really don't attempt showing up fancy on the first day." Serenity said as both she and Kaiba stepped into the cart. Well Kaiba most likely covered his mouth thinking that the subway was for lowly commoners. Thinking, he thought that if he breathes the air he would eventually die. Since there weren't any seats available, Serenity and Kaiba held on the handles, which Kaiba first thought was poisonous.
"Why am I doing this? I-I mean, do you want me to cry your schoolbag?" Kaiba said as the cursed slowly descended.
"Iie. It's okay."
"Are you sure?"
"Hai, Kaiba." Serenity scoffed.
"Hand it to me."
"No thank you." Serenity said as she turned her head away from Kaiba's glance. As Kaiba gave a big sigh.
"Serenity!"
Serenity and Kaiba's heads turned to see Duke slowly approached them. "Hey, I tried to call you, but your brother told me you were out."
"I never wa-" Serenity stopped and remembered her over-protective brother, and gave a small smirk, soon a smile, "Hai, I was out. Gomen Nasai. [Sorry.]" Serenity smiled, as Kaiba became angry about their conversation.
"It's okay." Duke smiled back and noticed Kaiba next to her, "Uwau. [Wow] The famous Seto Kaiba taking the tram? Geez, you really are like all of us!!"
"I'm just here for Serenity's safety and sake..." Kaiba warned not looking at Duke.
"Sure you are. Why couldn't you just pick her up in the limo?" Duke gave a sly smile.
"Hime-sama, didn't prefer to..."
"Hime-sama?" Duke questioned. The train made a hard turn, hearing the wheels screech. Kaiba stood still as Serenity's body turned straight towards Kaiba, while Duke was unfortunately not holding on to any of the handles. His body collapsed into Serenity's back as his left arm swung around her waist as the other around her neck. That's when Kaiba turned to see Serenity's eyes meet. Kaiba felt the curse crawling in his veins, making him enraged.
"This is a bad sign, right?" Duke spoke, who stood still.
"Yup." Serenity replied, knowing what Kaiba was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"Crud."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The train stopped, as the doors swung opened. Serenity walked out as she dragging Kaiba yelling, "YOU PERVERTED DUMBASS!! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HIME- SAMA, SERENITY!! IF I HAD IT MY WAY, I WOULD TAKE A GUN AND SHOOT THAT FREAKY, HORNY, LITTLE THING YOU CALL A -"
"Nice seeing you, Duke." Serenity said waving Duke goodbye, cutting Kaiba's word, "We'll talk again later!!"
"OFF!! I WOULD ALSO KILL YOU, BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE, AND THEN KILL YOU AGAIN!!! KUTABARE!! KUTABARE!!!! KUTABARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![GO TO HELL!!!]"
"Com'on, Kaiba." Serenity continued, ignoring everyone's stares.
'What's with him?' Duke asked himself watching Kaiba curse out on the people looking at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm sorry about that. And we have to walk eight more blocks to reach school." Kaiba said as his dazed face came into place.
"Don't worry about it." Serenity patted his back, "Eight blocks isn't that far..."
"That's not the problem, if your brother heard about it, there will be no end." Kaiba sighed.
"Maybe, we should arrive separately." Serenity added, reaching the gates of the school.
"What the?" Kaiba yelled, "You're sensei is horrible! You're upper classmates, are disgusting. And-and..."
"You're in a class across the school grounds. There won't be a point for you to be with me, if you're taking the long way. Don't worry about me. I would be all right! I don't want to go through more embarrassment. You don't deserve it."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, SERENITY!!!" Tristian yelled, walking up to her, "How's Kaiba doing?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Serenity smiled showing Kaiba behind her.
"So how's the, you know, 'phase' going on?" Tristian spoke without embarrassing him.
"Phase? Don't be so rude to her." Kaiba spoke, in reminder of Serenity, the cursed kicked in, " Serenity is now my Ojou-sama. [my queen]." Kaiba said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. As Serenity stood frozen.
Tristian stood still with his eyes twitching, the only word cam into mind was, "Huh?"
"Kaiba, you baka!! [stupid] I can't be addressed as a queen!!! That's too high of royalty!!" Serenity stomped her foot.
"Okay, Hime-sama!!" Kaiba smiled, as Serenity made another groan.
"That's it he snapped." Tristian spoke.
"OH my God!!" Kaiba yelled looking at the clock, "Class is about to begin. Do you have everything?" Kaiba started looking into her schoolbag, still influence by the curse, "Your handkerchief? Your writing utensils? Your books? Your purse? Your pencil board?"
"Kaiba!!" Serenity placed her hand down, "I'll be okay. You're free when you're in class, okay? Make it last." she finished smiling.
"Okay." Kaiba smiled, as Tristian took her away, for class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God, I can't believe I'm doing this..." Kaiba said to himself, hiding in the shrubs of next to the window of Serenity's classroom. He has been there since the bell rang. He had a gadget that would allow him to listen to Serenity's conversation with others. When he hugged her he placed a pin on her vest. Unknowing to Serenity it was a small microphone.
(Sneaky isn't he? ^.^;; But it's so sweet that he does all this, why can't a guy do this for me? T_T waaah!!!)
So far then hasn't been much of a threat till he heard a guy, talking to her, after class.
"So...do you have a boyfriend?" the guys said knocking Serenity to a corner.
"B-boyfriend? " Serenity said shifting to another but the boy's arm blocked her from moving, "I-iie."
"No matter," he said leaning down, but a swift "wind" took her away. Serenity opened her eyes, and noticed the hair and the eyes.
"Ka-kaiba? What the hell are you doing?" Serenity asked as she saw his eyes, meaning the servant mode is now in the on button.
"Did he touch you?" Kaiba asked.
"Seto," Serenity mumbled.
"Hey you," Kaiba stopped and turned to see the guy face to face, "I would be scared if I were you." Kaiba finished as he made his face that scared people to death. He ran away, not away- away, more like, AAAAAAAWWWWWWWAAAAAYYYY- away.
As female students looked at Serenity questionably, knowing what Kaiba is named for, "Kaiba, why do you have leaves in your hair? You were in class, right?" Serenity looked at the leaves and turned Kaiba to see her eye to eye.
That froze Kaiba still, "C-course I was. I was just passing by." Serenity looked at him but Kaiba just turned and left. As soon as Kaiba left the scene, there were girls coming from left and right.
"Is he your step-brother?"
"What's your relation with Kaiba?"
"Is he your 'boo'?"
"Hold it!!" Serenity yelled as the girls stopped asking, "First of all, my brother is Joey Wheeler. Kaiba is just someone I know. And what is a 'boo'?"
(Sorry, this is a slang made in the states if you didn't know, mainly people who don't live in the states)
"You don't know what a 'boo' is?"
"Boy, you're school must be old fashioned. A 'boo' is an American Slang for boyfriend. You know...lover?"
"Lover?" Serenity repeated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is stupid..." Kaiba said as he listened to her conversation, but the only word that was heard was "lover"
"Lover?" Kaiba shouted, as he ran toward Serenity, which he followed his sense of direction. "Damn, is today, 'Harass Serenity Wheeler' day?"
"SERENITY!!" Kaiba jumped into the window but widened his eyes were he saw what was inside the room, toilets. "Crap."
"THERE IS A HENTAI!!![PERVERT] HE'S PEEKING!!! HE'S PEEKING!!!" Girls yelled throwing items onto Kaiba who eventually fell out.
"Kaiba!!" Serenity shouted, running to the window. Serenity searched her eyes to find Kaiba but was not found, "Kaiba?!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is REALLY stupid!!" Kaiba said with his heavy breathing, leaning against the wall of the school, " Man, I'm tired..."
"Then rest," Serenity walked up to him. She placed her hand on Kaiba's hair, and started to caressing it, "You did too much today. I can't afford you to be hurt."
"Same with you..." Kaiba mumbled, as he smiled as she did the same, but slowly frowned.
She stopped her hand and placed it down to her side, "My classmates...say that...you act like your-your my lover.........."
Kaiba froze his stare. Nothing was felt. Only a question of, "What does that make you feel?"
"Do you have a problem with that?" Kaiba asked, hoping that her answer was the same as he had thought.
".......I find it kind of wrong, actually......" Serenity blushed with a little smile, where as Kaiba made that Anime-faint we all know and love.
'This is pathetic.' Kaiba thought with a sigh.
"Because, Joey is really the most important person in my life. And now that you posses the curse, I would have never got to know you." Serenity continued, as Kaiba's cheeks soon got warm. "You now act like another brother, I could get along with."
"Serenity..."
"Ah, Gomen nasai," Serenity said bowing, "I didn't mean to sound so cheesy..."
"Iie!! It's alright. Just listen," Kaiba spoke holding Serenity's shoulders, "Now I don't mind being like this, captivated my the curse. I just," Kaiba looked down, not looking at Serenity's eyes, then hugged her tight, Serenity didn't hug back but just stood lifelessly, "Hope you feel something special when, I mean, every time I hold you in my embrace, in my arms..." Kaiba finished, while stroking Serenity's hair.
"Seto...?" Serenity mumbled, still unsure of Kaiba's actions.
"GET THE FREAK AWAY FROM HER!!!" Joey yelled dividing Kaiba and Serenity's embrace, "YOU FIND SOME OTHER CHICK!!!" Joey complained as he took Serenity away. Serenity looked at her brother strangely then turned to Kaiba and waved good-bye.
"How did he know where I am?" Kaiba asked.
"Welcome to my world," Tristian spoke.
"Hmm...?" Kaiba turned and collapsed to the ground, "Where in hell did you com from?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaiba got home, and leaned against the front door. He was relived the day was done. Mokuba came down to see Kaiba waving a letter.
"Hey, Seto!!!" Mokuba said giving the letter to his brother, "This is a letter from a director of the most popular games."
"So?" Kaiba asked, reading the letter.
"What is it about?" Mokuba asked.
"It's a premier to a new version of this cheap game. I'm invited and 'obligated' to bring a guest."
"Then why don't you bring Serenity?"
"Yeah, sure....NANI[WHAT]?!" Kaiba said looking at his kid brother with wide eyes, "I can't bring her. That-that,"
"Will..."Mokuba started to continued to finish Kaiba's sentence.
"Embarrassment!!!" Kaiba shouted, "I-I can't!!"
"Com'on, Seto." Mokuba pleaded, "Besides you always wanted people to expect the unexpected with you. So show up with a girl."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaiba sat on Serenity's bed, waiting for her to return from her part-time job. Kaiba noticed a book on the floor and picked it up. It was open with a strap lock. He turned to the cover labeled, "DIARY" Kaiba gasped, to the thought of him getting another yelling. He never knew that Joey was the one who broke it. He looked through his back and found some glue.
Carefully he glued the edges of the lock back into place as he pressed the lock down. After a few seconds he realized it but the glue apparently was stuck on his palm. Worst was when the book was still open. He tried everything to get it off. He then rubbed it off his pants and surprisingly it worked, but it now sticked to his pants, over his...well...you know what I mean. Once again, Kaiba tried to get it off, but the problem was...
"Kaiba, what are you doing?" Serenity stepped into her room.
"Um..." Kaiba tried to think of a good excuse, "Thinking through a female point of view."
"Kaiba?!" Serenity wailed, "You not only violated my privacy, but also my diary!! My god you're molesting it?!"
"What the hell?" Kaiba asked, then snapped back, "Hime-sama, Just help me get this off."
"Fine." Serenity sighed bending to her knees, trying to get the book off without tearing the cloth, "What did you do?"
"Glue, okay?"
"Kaiba, this is harder that I thought," Kaiba raised an eyebrow at Serenity as she made a grunt, "You know what I meant!" Serenity turned around, her hair flipped, getting caught with the glue. Serenity felt her hair tugged, "Kaiba, let go of my hair."
"I'm not even touching it." Serenity turned and saw her hair stuck, Serenity leaned closer, big mistake. Her head was now stuck to Kaiba's pants
"Um...Kaiba my hair is stuck..."
"Seriously?"
"Man, if Joey sees us like this, I think I gag."
"That makes two of us..." Joey exclaimed, " Seto Kaiba, what the hell are you doing with my sister?"
The room was still. Joey was on front of the door. Kaiba and Serenity were at a spot, where Kaiba himself couldn't get out of. One question echoed, "How will be explain this?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stopping here. Sorry. Don't kill me...
