GET MAD, GET EVEN OR GET BETTER….

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh or any of its characters.

------------------------------------------THAT NIGHT -----------------------------------------------

Serenity tossed and turned in her comfortable queen bed. What was wrong with her? Suddenly all she could think about was… -Kaiba????- and THAT lesson. Of course she knew that could never be possible. How could she ever think that a multi-millionaire like Kaiba could fall in love-with a girl that was not only poor but also mute! However a hopeless girl could dream, couldn't she…? And that it did it, she finally went to sleep, probably mad at herself for liking Kaiba or tired of thinking about the whole issue. Little did she know that she was going to get less rest than what she expected…

-------------------------------THAT "NOT SO NICE" DREAM-----------------------------------

Serenity, now found herself in a nearly empty space surrounded by huge trees. Believing that she was lost, she started yelling for help. After a minute or so of calling out for help, she decided to wander a bit before calling out for assistance again. That was when she stumbled into our infamous CEO and had what we might call -a close encounter. -

"Serenity", Kaiba whispered to the young girl in her ear while approaching her. Serenity had just leaned closer "perhaps" impulsed by an unknown force. Kaiba looked into her eyes and began to brush the strands of hair from her face. Afterward, Kaiba got even closer and held her in a tight embrace. Serenity felt that she was about to faint, but then she couldn't help but notice that the distance between them had gotten shorter. KAIBA WAS ABOUT TO KISS HER! Their lips were about to touch when….

--------------------------------THAT NOT SO- BAD DAY-----------------------------------------

"Hey! Serenity aren't you going to go to the hospital today? It's getting quite late you know!" Mokuba shouted as he knocked her door.

"IT CAN'T BE, DAMMIT" Serenity cursed out -mentally-.

So our poor Serenity quickly got prepared for her visit, nothing really unusual to her. The hospital wasn't too far from the Kaiba mansion; nevertheless Mokuba never left Serenity to walk alone through the streets. He always asked the limo driver to take her, and that had become a routine for the past two weeks. They arrived pretty quickly to their destination. Upon her arrival to the hospital, she asked the nurse about Joey's status and later went on to check him, personally. It seemed a bit weird to talk to someone in coma but she somehow felt better talking -lets not take that too literal- to him. So she began to -mentally- tell him all that had happened. (Brotherly mental link) She omitted some important parts, but thought that Joey wouldn't really care about those. After all he was her brother and Serenity knew him perfectly. So after a giving a goodbye kiss to her beloved Joey, she got in the limo and headed to her "new" home.

Unfortunately, the day went by too quickly and in no time it was nearly five o' clock, almost time for her second LESSON! Anxiety quickly filled her up as she told herself-"This can't be happening!!!" She quickly got nervous, blushed, gnawed on her nails… It was then when she finally admitted that she MIGHT be developing small feelings for the multi-millionaire, but Serenity tried to hide the rushing feelings inside her because she KNEW that Kaiba would dump her feelings telling her that it was a simple schoolgirl's crush. Even worse, he would just play with her feelings, and she DID NOT want that. "Unexpectedly", she also desired to know if he really could like her.

Surprisingly. Seto was a little unsettled too, at work, not knowing how to sort his thoughts out either. For once he couldn't find a good answer to what he was feeling. Evidently, he dismissed these disturbing thoughts, more than once, by trying to get his huge piles of paperwork ready, but it all seemed in vain. Could it be that he was developing feelings for a WHEELER? NO WAY! He thought as he tried to forget the idea that had just passed through his mind. "Anyways she's a Wheeler and I'm a Kaiba that stuff -love- would never work. Before he knew what he had just considered; he cursed to himself: "I can't believe it!" I'm falling in love with WHEELER'S sister. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT MYSELF!" He said while slamming his head to his desk. Me, Seto Kaiba, multi-millionaire, the richest young CEO in Asia thinking about love; no wonder Gozaburo hated women… They MAKE you weak! And so his day went on a quite turbulent way, you know firing employees here and there, making several secretaries cry etcetera… And so, when the time came for him to leave his beloved company, he was very exhausted.

-----------------------------------------THE LESSON-----------------------------------------------

Hence, that morning had passed quickly for Serenity, but it seemed to her that -this- hour was passing a bit slowly, perhaps way too slowly for the likes of the girl. Serenity sat in the most comfortable position she could make and began to check the patterns on the ceiling and walls and rugs… Till Serenity got too bored from staring at the walls, rugs and ceilings; therefore she had to stand up to relieve her tension.

Meanwhile, Kaiba was outside the room deciding whether it'd be better to go inside or just tell her that he was too tired to give her lessons today. It was true that he was very exhausted today. That simple issue was driving him more than crazy. But, oh well he'd just tell her that he had too much work for today. "Hey Seto! Aren't you going in? I think Serenity is waiting for you already!" Mokuba deliberately shouted. (When I mean that Mokuba shouted deliberately be very afraid!) Um… well Mokuba…., you know… I was just about to go in when …. Seto replied in an incoherent way. "Hmm… Seto, you know you're a VERY POOR BAD LIAR!" He screamed again. Hey, shut up! She might hear you… Admit it Seto, you like her and you're so nervous that you can't get inside. "I am not nervous MOKUBA, and I can go inside, if I wish." Seto, who just seemed to have regained his composure / arrogance, answered. "Then why don't you, big brother?" Mokuba smirked. "That's what I'll just do!" He replied more than just confident as he entered through the door. And thus, that is the tale of how Mokuba got Seto in the room, effortlessly.

Once inside, Seto had acknowledged that he was outsmarted by his smaller brother, and laughed at his stupidity. Mokuba could be very intelligent at times; he made a mental note to himself. The lesson began quite smoothly this time around. Kaiba had spoken more than three lines with out insulting, and that alone was a miracle. He had sat beside her once again and had showed her the correct movements so she could repeat them thereafter. But Seto couldn't help but notice that Serenity's was blushing WAY too much. So, he tried to focus his attention on her hands, to avoid misunderstandings. He had to admit she was a very fast learner, despite all the insult he had given to her yesterday. He also knew that she was pretty intelligent too, or so they rumored. But could Serenity ever develop feelings for him? After all, it was obvious that she had a huge crush on Yugi, and probably he had one on her. He had to admit that she was very pretty, the first time they met she had caught his attention-before knowing that the MUTT was her brother-. Anyone would get a deception after knowing that! Argh! He said after not moving her fingers correctly. "Concentrate on the movement not on her!" He repeated to himself.

Serenity, who was just in the same situation, couldn't help but to mentally kick herself for being so weak. Emotions were rushing through her and she couldn't do anything about it, just blush. She was to ashamed to even look at his face, but they were so close. .. She could occasionally feel Kaiba's eyes upon her, but Serenity was so worried, that he would suspect that she liked him. Finally, Kaiba broke the silence between them by asking her- about Joey. She picked up her now HANDY whiteboard and writing about Joey, she felt distracted for a moment.

"Damn…. I can't believe it? Where did those words come from? Me, asking about the mutt?" Seto mentally kicked himself, watching Serenity pick up the whiteboard. The REAL Seto Kaiba, would never worry about anything or anyone, except Mokuba. Was he just trying to pick a conversation with a girl…? He cursed himself once and again;.

In the meantime Serenity was writing her thoughts about Joey. "Joey's doing fine, he's recovering, or so the doctor says" Serenity wrote. "I see" he simply answered. Serenity, probing her luck //once again// wrote asking the CEO about his job. He stared at her, before responding top her question. Making her blush, once again and lower her head. Kaiba, knowing that he had made Serenity blush, quickly answered: Fine, It was fine; making a short pause before asking her: how was her day. She hastily wrote that it was fine too, and dared to ask him where he had learnt to fingerspell.

Kaiba, a bit surprised at the how this had all started, began to answer. "My brother and I lived on an orphanage before, there was this kid in the orphanage that was deaf and no one understood what he wanted. So, our host taught him to fingerspell and I learned it too. That way I could tell the other kids what he meant, and it made it easier for him to communicate with the rest," Seto responded to Serenity. "Well, Serenity I think its getting a late, we'll finish tomorrow" he said.

And so… the lesson ended….
