CHAPTER 9

HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DISCOMFORT

Author's Note: Sorry for the late update. But it took me a while to make this chapter, not only because I had a massive writer's block, but because I also had to make up for the crappy last chapter. It seems that the more I write the worse I get.

----------------------------------The Ill- Fated Next Day--------------------------------

I watched as the young CEO paced across the room. He had obviously been in a fit of anger, (poor, poor Serenity). He had arrived early and Mokuba, being as sweet as he was, convinced him to start our first lesson, today. Ever since he arrived, Kaiba had never turned to look at me not even once. He didn't want to see me and I knew that he was furious. I secretly wondered why he was so angry, but I was way too scared to ask.

"Let\s begin Wheeler..." He said while massaging his temples vigorously. I wrote some of the basic words that you need to learn. Yet, I don't expect you to learn them too fast Wheeler. "Begin by finger spelling hello", he said as he handed her the rather long list.

"She just sighed, this was getting tough. He was SO insensitive at times", she thought as she paused. She wondered how Kaiba could even be related to Mokuba… This was definitely not her day…

It seems that you aren't only mute but also deaf! Can't you just hear what I just said? Don't make me loose my temper Wheeler-Kaiba interrupted.

She double-sighed as she picked up the notes, and begun trying to correctly motion Hello, but she couldn't help but feel nervous at seeing that Kaiba was paying attention to her; and she sadly ended up motioning some weird word.

"So, let me see, you still need a lot of practice, but I doubt you'll ever get it you're a Wheeler after all', he remarked sarcastically and began with the next word: help.

Serenity could feel her face get red. But she tried to calm down not wanting to please the CEO, and tried to catch up with the talking Kaiba. Boy, this was tough.

Wheeler! NOT like that LIKE THIS he shouted, as he correctly motioned the next word. I thought you were slow, not dumb!

I wish this could just end, Serenity thought to herself. I wish I could just get my voice back. He really is starting to piss me off. She said as she tried to motion the next word correctly - which ironically was: LOVE. To her surprise -and somewhat dismay- the exclusive mention of the word had triggered some events in her memory that made her blush.

Why are you blushing Wheeler? Is there something to blush about he said as he read the next word out loud. He SOMEHOW also started to blush, just a little, and decided to move on to the next word, somewhat quickly.

In the meantime, Serenity could only wish this could end, promptly. Serenity was embarrassed that she had blushed at the sole mention of the word love. It was getting annoying to motion all the words correctly. Of course, this only happened to her, of all people. As she tried to motion the next word, she was interrupted by a MORE than angry Kaiba, which looked like he needed more than an Aspirin.

Seto had just lost his temper, not that he had too much as a matter of fact, this girl couldn't manage to do anything right. SO he started to yell all the unpleasant stuff that came to his mind, which after all was a not so good thing to do. LISTEN - WHEELER! I don't know what your problem IS! Either you aren't concentrating or you're just playing dumb. My instincts opt for the latter option, which is what you ARE doing! Is there anything so hard to learn! Am I not speaking in plain English, or should I bring Mokuba to translate for you! Hell, MAYBE I should bring Yugi instead since it's quite obvious you are quite smitten with him! I bet he'd be a great translator, wouldn't he Wheeler!?!

Serenity was also about to burst into a fit of anger! Had she not been mute she would have answered the CEO. There was nothing left to do but to bury her face into her hands and start crying being-half embarrassed and half angered. Was it that obvious that she liked Yugi; how she praised that nobody had heard what he was screaming to her. But it also made her want to kick him in the first place for shouting all those embarrassing

-Speech remarks-. Her face was red with anger as she tried to stop crying but to no avail.

Kaiba, who was now having what people might call "the pain of guilt" seeing the petite girl crying (Incredible and impossible as you might say, but it's true.) tried to resist this kind of -discomfort- by telling her to leave but it seemingly didn't work and only made her cry louder. Hell, if Mokuba knew Serenity was crying he'd be doomed. -Literally DOOMED- So he tried to leave his differences aside, for once, and whispered: "Listen Serenity, I'm sorry if I've been too tough with you, but that's just the way I am. I can't help it, but if it we could start all again, I'll try to be more patient with you. Is that ok with you?" Seto questioned.

Serenity slowly raised her head and nodded slowly. After all she didn't want to loose her lucky chance with the CEO. (Believe me, a compassionate Kaiba was a rare sight.) She wasn't a fast forgiver but wasn't a slow one either.

And so they started. Seto, sat beside the crying Serenity and softly took her hands. I'll show you how to motion correctly and you can repeat it thereafter. Ok, he asked while she just nodded. Let's begin, our first word is hello he stated as he took her fingers and curled them in the right position. Now can you do it? She nodded, and began to repeat it this time- successfully-. See, you've got it. Now let's go in with the next word. But she couldn't help but smile at the CEO. His touch felt awkward, but somehow comforting. Before she knew it she had almost ended the whole list almost effortlessly. Wow, how could he be so cruel and nice at the same time? She almost yearned for his touch, ALMOST. But she liked Yugi, and couldn't be developing feelings for him, no way! But she had to admit she WAS BLUSHING, after all.

Well, Serenity, I think it's enough for today. I think you can keep on practicing the list by yourself; He said as he opened the door. Serenity bowed politely as a sign of thanks and left the room. After, she had left, Seto couldn't help but feel a little awkward too, which was exactly what he was doing.. He was truly grateful that MOKUBA did not see this. Or else he\d be babbling about how they made a nice couple. He had to admit it himself they would be a nice couple. But love, no way, he wasn't made for it. He'd never be able to love, much less a Wheeler. They were to dumb for their own good. Anyways why was he thinking about this!?! I have a company to run! He thought as he dismissed his thoughts quickly.

Hey big brother! Mokuba replied from the other side of the door. Can I come in?

Seto hastily replied, and Mokuba entered the door. So, big brother, how'd it go?

Fine, he replied.

Fine, is that it? No big fights or anything?

No, Mokuba I said fine, it went fine.

Hmm… I f that is true, why is Serenity blushing; Seto? Since, Seto was quite appalled at Mokuba's questioning-or might as well say question- he couldn't reply.

See I knew it, you guys are dating wait till the gang hears it!

"No! Mokuba, we are not dating and we don't plan on doing it either. I don't know why she was blushing, and I personally don't care". Seto responded

Well, Mr. I don't have a girlfriend, I think you really need one. She's perfect; I mean at least she can stand your mood swings. That's some progress; see Seto, why don't you spend more with Serenity together; Mokuba remarked as he was already hatching a plan in his ingenious mind.

Mokuba, you better not bother me with this nonsense. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Now WHY DON'T YOU GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE!

I SEE, Seto, YOU REALLY DO LIKE HER!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

End of chapter!
