Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Serenity Found ❯ One-Shot

Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! is owned by its creator, Kazuki Takahashi and it's respective anime companies. I'm borrowing the characters and ideas for a nonprofit fan fiction written solely for the enjoyment of myself, and hopefully others.

Author's Notes: Ever since I've found out that Serenity and Seto become a couple later on in the manga, this pairing's been driving me insane. I haven't found and Serenity/Seto lemons (even though I do have the cover of a dounjishi that reads "Adults Only" on it) and I did issue a challenge for one, which B-Chan took up with a beautiful fic. Well, I'd figure that I'd write one and see if I can spawn others to do the same myself. Still, it's been forever since I've written erotic fiction.

Serenity Found

By: Elf

It was a warm night. There was a gentle breeze that slapped the leaves of the cherry trees around. In the background the melodic chanting of Shinto priests and priestesses was heard, creating a perfect atmosphere for a confession and one last farewell.

Seto Kaiba shifted under his kimono. He was more use to his business suits, leather pants when he Dueled, and his myriad of dusters. The blue and black silk felt unfamiliar against his skin and the sandals on his feet made him feel a little insecure.

He gracefully bent down and lit the candles around the grave he was visiting. He bowed his head down as he said a silent prayer for his parents' spirits. When he was finished, he lifted his head, not inclined to bow to anyone for long, if ever, but kept kneeling.

Kaiba gently traced his parents' names with his fingers with a sigh. Things had changed over the years, he had changed. Mokuba never visited the graves because he didn't remember his parents, and Kaiba himself was usually too wrapped up in his work to do so.

But he had to come tonight for tonight was the anniversary of Gozaburo Kaiba's untimely murder at his hands.

Even at nineteen, the CEO of the world's leading technology firm, he still felt a pang of guilt for killing Gozaburo. Not for Gozaburo himself. He deserved what Fate had in store for him, punishment for the ragged scars running along his back and psychological damage he had inflicted on a ten-year-old Seto, but for the fact that Mokuba had a murder as a brother.

Still, Mokuba was growing up and even had an on again/off again relationship with Rebecca Hawkings, a Duel Monster's Prodigy. He understood why Kaiba had shoved the man out of a five-story window and had long forgiven him. Even pure Yugi Moto understood and didn't hold it against him.

But Kaiba wasn't sure about the two people lying under the ground. And he had come to say good bye as well. One more last confession, a cleansing before he moved on with his life.

"Mother, Father, hello again," he began as he slowly withdrew his hand. He settled his kimono around him so he could kneel better. The priests were strict to tradition and requested that each visitor would be dressed properly.

He continued as he looked at the silent grave and flickering candles, "Kaiba Corp. is doing very well. Marketing on a new RPG will start this Thursday and GameOne already gave it a '10' rating, but that's not why I'm here. I guess I'm here to make amends. This isn't easy for me, but I did what I had to. And that I've found someone."

He smiled at that moment as he thought of Serenity. He voiced his thoughts, "She's wonderful. Beautiful, fiery, kind, sweet, compassionate beyond belief, and I'd do anything for her. She makes me whole, completes me. I guess you know about that, don't you, Father?" He smirked at his dry wit as he stood back up, feeling as if he had a great weight lifted off of him.

He had done what he had to. True, he had made some bad choices in the past, but they were in the past now. They didn't matter. He missed his mother and father, but they were gone and he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't live in his father's shadow for every day in his life. He had to move on.

"Hey," a soft voice said behind him as a small hand touched his shoulder.

He turned around and looked at Serenity Wheeler. Her red head came right at his shoulders and her brilliant green eyes peered up at him. The light from the candles cast her hair in shades of garnet and copper, flickering as if it was alive. The breeze played with the long strands and he smiled at her.

Kaiba smiled and took her hand. He replied, "Hey."

She wrapped her arms around his waist and he stroked her hair as they held each other. He kissed the crown of her head, relishing her vanilla scent. He asked, "How did you know to find me?"

"Joey told me that you'd be here," she answered as she looked up at him.

His heart lifted. He had told Joey that for a reason. True, they didn't see each other eye to eye and most of the time they were at each other's throats, but when it came to Serenity they saw pretty much eye to eye. He had hoped that Serenity would show up and she had. Their fingers intertwined as they looked at each other's eyes.

She whispered, "Let's go home."

"I'll take you home," Kaiba offered as they began to walk out of the grave yard.

Serenity shook her head and replied, "No. Let's go home, together."

Had he heard her right? Was she truly offering what he had heard? His heart started to pound nervously as he looked down at her. He asked, "Are you sure?"

"More than anything, Seto," she answered with a shy smile, a blush tinting her cheeks, making her look even more wondrous to him.

They had discussed this, taking their relationship to the next level, to an existent after she had graduated from high school. They had both decided to take it slow and easy, not wanting to rush into anything. Still, Kaiba, being an admitted control freak, had every precaution taken care of. There were to be no mistakes in this. Not with something that important.

They walked to where Kaiba had parked his silver Toyota MR2 Spyder. As he opened the door he managed, "This changes everything . . . Are you sure about this, Serenity?"

"I want to be with you. I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. I'm positive, Seto," Serenity answered firmly, leaning over to kiss him.

The kiss left him breathless, putting everything they were feeling into words. None the less, he had sped to Kaiba Manor.

******

Joey was having doubts. Kaiba had told him where he was going tonight off handedly, like it didn't matter, but there was something in the normally stoic boy's blue eyes that made Joey feel for him. True, there was no lost love between himself and Kaiba. He had to admit that Serenity truly did love him, and Kaiba truly loved her back.

Still, he was wondering if telling Serenity where Kaiba had gone was the right thing to do.

Mai ran her fingers through his hair and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I told Serenity where Kaiba was and I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't," Joey confessed, looking into her bright violet eyes.

Mai smirked and replied, "Second guessing yourself isn't a good thing, Joey. Relax. Kaiba maybe a jerk most of the time, but I'd bet everything that he really loves your sister."

"Still, I'm worrying," Joey sighed.

Mai tossed her long, golden hair and leaned over to kiss him. She said, "Then I guess I've gotta give you something else to think about."

He smiled as he held her. They nuzzled noses playfully before he said, "Well, I gotta hold you up to that."

******

Everything had to be perfect. Seto was moving like a man possessed, lighting candles, checking the air conditioning to make sure that the room wasn't too hot or too cold, and his hands shook as he opened his night stand. The box of condoms he had purposely bought was still there, unused and unopened. He opened the box and shut the drawer. He stood up, smoothed the bed cover and looked around, nodding in satisfaction.

"Seto?" Serenity called from behind the door, her voice tinged with laughter.

Seto smiled as he opened the door. She took his hand and looked around at all the candles. He stepped away from her and studied her.

Her red hair now reached just above the waistline of her jeans, moving around her like flame. Her green eyes sparkled as she looked up at him, perfectly trusting and happy. Tonight they were Serenity and Seto, two young people in love, no identities to live up to or no responsibilities wearing down their shoulders.

He took a lock of her hair and twirled it around his fingers. He confessed, "I love your hair. It was the first thing that I noticed about you. This tiny girl with reddest hair that I've ever seen."

Her slender, nimble fingers traced across his features. He closed his eyes at her gentle touch and moaned as she caressed his lips, cheeks, nose and brow. "No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't copy the beauty of the original," she whispered in her soft voice.

He kissed her fingers as he looked down at her. He cupped her cheek and leaned into her. Their lips met and the kiss was soft, gentle, confused and nervous. The kiss grew bolder, more intense before they were feeding at each other with fiery passion and clinging desperately at each other.

Her skin felt like hot satin beneath his fingers and he yearned to touch and see more. He felt her hands move around his waist to undo the kimono's robe. Within moments, the silk robe fell to the ground.

He felt a moment of panic as her fingers touched his back. Scars, scars from belt lashes from an abusive monster. "Serenity," he whispered, half pleading and half fearful. He looked down at her confused eyes as she touched his back in shock. He started to move her hands away from his back and kiss her again when she moved behind him.

He was about to turn around when she kissed one of the raised welts on his flesh. He stiffened and groaned as her hands rubbed along his shoulders and chest and she kissed his back. He felt his body react to her touch as she gently caressed and kissed each scar.

"How could anyone do this?" she whispered as she faced him again, her green eyes filled with angry tears. The angry yet sad look on her face twisted his heart and sent another thrill of lust through his body.

Seto took her hands and kissed the tiny scar around each eye, the scar left over from the surgery that he, in all of his youthful arrogance, had almost prevented. The tiny, barely visible scar that was responsible for her still being able to paint and draw. For her to see the world around her, and to see him.

He answered, "It doesn't matter. He's dead. He can't hurt anyone anymore." He held her again, her clothing soft against his bare chest. He wanted to feel her skin to skin, wanted to hear her heart beat against his. He needed to be in her, a need so terrible that it was painful.

They started to kiss again, parting only long enough for Seto to quickly shed Serenity of her shirt. As they kissed, his fingers fumbled rather clumsily for her bra clasp. "Front," she whispered in his ear with a giggle.

He smirked as he found the clasp and managed to undo it. He stepped back as he gently slid the white scrap of silk from her, bearing her breasts to him. She was blushing as she looked at him, combined with her nude, perfect breasts, it was beautiful.

He gently caressed each one, submitting a gasp from Serenity. She rested her head against his shoulder as he studied her, fascinated by the bright pink nipples and the soft skin. He smirked as she gave another cry as he brushed a finger over each nipple.

"Seto," she gasped as he swung her in his arms. He kissed her as he laid her down on the four poster king-sized bed. The bed that he had often thought was too lonely and empty after he had met her.

He was aching with need, but he needed to take this slow. He kissed down her neck and warned, "If you want me to stop, no matter what, say the word." Even if my control can't take it, he thought as he moved his mouth down the soft curve of her left breast. She gasped and arched to him as he took her nipple in his mouth.

He smirked with purely male satisfaction as he nursed at her sweet skin. She arched and cried toward him. Her fingers ran aimlessly through his hair before restlessly clutching at her shoulders.

He couldn't have enough of her. She tasted like vanilla and honey and her cries and gasps were driving him to the edge and back. He shifted his attention to the other nipple as his fingers carefully unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans.

He was painfully hard now, but it was a sweet torture. He wanted to please her, he wanted her to cry out in pleasure and he wanted to be the one who brought her there. He gently removed her jeans from her long, silken legs.

Her legs were a marvel, pale and shapely. He ran his hand over her calves and tickled her thighs. She giggled at that, throwing her flushed face back. He repeated, "If you want me to stop, no matter what, just say the word." With that, he removed her matching white panties.

He rested back and looked at her from the tip of her flushed, redhead, to her hard, pointing nipples, the triangle of close-cropped red curls between her thighs, and her supple legs. Looking up at him with her trusting, lust filled eyes was almost his undoing. She lifted her hand to the waist band of the pants to his kimono, gently rubbing him between the fabric.

Seto moaned and tensed. He gently grabbed Serenity's hand and whispered, "Don't, not yet."

Her green eyes blinked as she looked up at him. He saw them in the mirror, his dark brown hair contrasting against her red. His normally cold blue eyes were wide as he looked at her and his tall, broad, yet leanly muscular form from years of akeido loomed over her small, slender, curvy body.

He leaned back toward her and kissed her again. She gasped as he gently spread her legs. He whispered, "I'm going to do as much as I can to keep from hurting you."

"You wouldn't hurt me," Serenity argued with bright eyes, "You'd never hurt me."

Seto gently parted the red curls with his finger and slid between her folds, finding her wet for him. She gasped and he whispered, "Not intentionally, but it will hurt."

He watched her face as he gently carressed her and smiled as his finger found that one particular spot, causing her to thrash to his fingers and groan. He continued to stroke there as she gave tiny gasping sounds. He kissed her cheek as he inserted a finger inside her. He moved it gently in and out before adding a second.

She was pulsing, hot, wet and impossibly tight around his fingers. Her eyes widened in pain as he accidently hit a barrier. He withdrew his fingers out of her, but kept stroking until she arched, shuttered and cried out, shuttering around his finger.

Seto watched as she gasped, writhed and came back to Earth. Her skin was flushed and sweating and her eyes were glazed over. Her mouth was parted as she gasped for air.

He rose momentarily from the bed and removed the kimono pants. He reached over to the night stand as he watched her hair flicker like copper and garnets in the candlelight. He opened the drawer and withdrew a condom package.

He had to be safe and responsible about this, for her sake.

"No," Serenity said in her shaky voice.

Seto met her passion glazed green eyes and her hand trailed over his body. He gasped as she gently wrapped her hand around him and stroked him lightly. He moaned, "Seren . . . We need to be . . . safe. I don't want a . . . mistake . . . to . . . ahhh . . . happen."

"You're too careful, Seto," Serenity teased as she caressed him.

What she was doing to him was wonderful, but he didn't want to lose himself, not yet. His whole body was tense and he was pretty sure that his toes were curling. He replied, "I have to be, Serenity."

Serenity smirked impishly at him and replied, "Not this time."

She withdrew her hand, leaving him gasping and wanting. He asked, "What?"

She looked away and touched the scar on her left eye. She softly explained, "They put me on birth control after the surgery. They thought the high stress would knock my hormones off at such an important stage in my growth. I've stopped needing them for years, but . . . I wanted to feel us, together, skin to skin. I wanted you to let go."

His eyes widened in wonder as he settled over her. He caressed her face and kissed her pert nose. He moved strands of hair from her eyes and smiled down at her. He asked, "You've been planning this for three years?"

"Ever since I saw you in Yugi's shop for the first time and I fell in love with you," she whispered, wrapping an arm around his neck and threading her fingers through his thick hair, "I love you, Seto."

His heart soared in wonder as he looked at her. He couldn't put into words how he felt. It was too intense, too passionate. She completed him, made him want to be a better person for her sake. She was the Light to his Darkness.

She wrapped a leg around his thighs and he switched from English to his native Japanese. "Aishiteru," he whispered before he started to ease into her.

He closed his eyes as he was slowly enveloped into wet, velvet heat. She gave a tiny cry as her fingernails dug into his shoulders. He bit his lip to keep from thrusting wildly into her welcoming form. He hit resistance and he withdrew, pondering how to go about this without causing her too much pain.

He leaned over and kissed her right before he entered her in one thrust.

She screamed in pain and tried to arch away from him. She was shuddering around him, almost painfully tight and gripping him. Seto opened his eyes and looked down at her.

Serenity had tears streaming from her eyes as she looked up at him.

"I'll stop," he gasped, gently caressing her face, rubbing her back and shoulders soothingly. He held her to him and tried to soothe her. Even though his body screamed at him to move, to act.

Serenity groaned, "You're too big . . ."

For some bizarre reason that made Seto chuckle. He felt a bit arrogant at that and shook it off. Serenity was hurting, dammit, and he didn't want that.

He lay still inside her, feeling her gripping him tightly. He rubbed her back soothingly as he kissed the tears from her face. He noticed that she began to relax and she wrapped her other leg around him, sending a shiver of movement through him.

She looked at him with luminous green eyes and managed, "I think you can start now."

"Are you sure?" he asked, even though his body was craving movement.

She nodded and answered, "Yeah, it's not as bad."

So, ever so slowly, he withdrew only to retreat again. He kept it slow and easy, each thrust gentle. Sweat beaded on his brow and down his back as he moved. He groaned with the pleasure of it, as his body started to slowly spiral to a higher point.

Serenity was making tiny, gasping moans beneath him. She whispered, "Faster . . ." He quickened his pace and she gasped around him. He bit his lip and moaned as his fingers dug into the sheets.

It was beyond words, beyond description. He felt them climbing higher and higher. He quickened his pace as he felt his body tense in need, searching for something. Serenity was trying to gasp his name, then, suddenly, she arched toward him, screamed his name, and began to spasm around, her muscles tightening around him.

"Serenity," he gasped into her throat as he quickened his thrusts. White lights exploded in the back of his eyes as his body quickened with release. He cried out as he spilled his life into her.

After he was finished, he collapsed against her, breathing into her to her hair. "Seto?" Serenity asked as she smoothed his dark hair from his passion darkened blue eyes. He looked down at her dark green eyes in wonder.

With a groan, he rolled to his back and cradled her to his side. He kissed the crown of her head and asked, "Did I hurt you too badly?"

"It was worse than I thought," she confessed.

Seto sighed, "I'm sorry. I could have done . . ."

Serenity placed one of her fingers over his lips as she snuggled close to him. She wrapped an arm around his exhausted body and said, "I love you."

He smiled as he realized that he had never been this peaceful in his life, this content and happy. This elated. He realized that her name was perfect for her, because he had finally found Serenity in his arms.

Joey woke up the next morning and walked to Serenity's empty room. Mai yawned behind her hand as she asked, "What is it, Joey?"

Joey was frantic with big brother worry. He looked up at Mai with his huge, puppy dog brown eyes and cried, "She didn't come home last night!"

"Well, she probably spent it with Kaiba," Mai replied as she started to go back to Joey's bed. It was too early to be thinking about these things, she realized. She yawned again.

Joey said, "Well, then let's go get her!"

Mai rolled her eyes and followed the younger boy.

******

Sunlight found its way through the midnight blue curtains. Seto blinked as he slowly woke up. He felt a warm, soft form pressed against him.

He smiled as he looked down at Serenity curled against him, her thigh thrown over his leg and an arm around his waist. She sighed and shifted closer to him. He gently stroked her hair as he watched her.

She opened her eyes and looked at him. She rested her chin on his chest and sleepily smiled. She yawned, "Good morning, Seto."

He chuckled as he tapped her nose. She moved up so that she was face to face with him. He kissed her lightly and asked, "How are you?"

She stretched and winched. She answered, "I need a shower and I'm hungry."

He chuckled as he held her. She said, "And you'd better join me."

"Can I join you?" he asked as he looked her sleep warmed body over and a fresh wave of lust hit him. He quickly added, "It'll be better this time, I promise."

She smiled at him and replied, "It wasn't bad last night. It got better. Still, I'd like to hold you up to that promise."

He bent down to kiss her when the door was thrown open.

Serenity jumped away with a cry and yanked the covers to her chin. Her green eyes narrowed as she shrieked, "Joey?"

Seto spun around to see Joey, Mai, and Yugi standing at the bedroom doorway. Yugi's cheeks were bright red as he tried to look away. Mai was chuckling behind her hand. Joey, on the other hand, looked angry enough to kill.

Mai grabbed Joey's arm and said, "We're too late. Come on."

Yugi stammered, "Sorry, Kaiba . . . Urmm, umm . . . See you later . . ." He kept covering his eyes every time he looked over at them.

Seto glared and snapped, "You'd better have good reason to be here, Joseph Wheeler."

"He came to save his sister's virtue," Mai replied, rolling her eyes.

Serenity chuckled, "Joey, you're a little late."

"I didn't think that you would . . . Serenity!" Joey cried. Then Joey whirled on Seto. Seto rolled his eyes as Joey growled, "You seduced my poor baby sister."

Seto retorted, "You're barking up the wrong tree, puppy."

"How dare you! That's my baby sister there and . . ." A pillow hit Joey square in the face. His wide brown eyes blinked as Serenity tossed another one of Seto's many pillows at her brother. This one hit him in the head.

Serenity yanked the sheet and Seto had to grab the comforter to keep from flashing everyone. She climbed off the bed, pillow in her hand, sheet wrapped around her as she stormed over to where Joey was standing. She smacked him upside the head with the pillow.

She snapped, "It was my idea, you doof! Now, get out of here!" Seto smiled as Joey tried to dodge his sister's pillow wielding rage. "Go! Shoo!"

Mai grabbed Joey's arm and said, "I think she wants us to go."

"Yeah, because I'm dragging Seto to the shower to have hot, steamy SEX!" Serenity screamed at him as she threw the pillow at Joey's head.

Yugi looked over at Seto and the taller young man shrugged. He did smile as Mai drug Joey out of their room. Yugi bowed and said, "Sorry again, Kaiba, Serenity."

Serenity looked at Yugi, who had thankfully hit a growth spurt in the past three years, so he didn't look like a child anymore. She smiled at him and said, "Hi Yugi. Say hi to Tea for me, okay."

Yugi nodded, still beet red as he started to go out the door. Seto couldn't resist calling out, "Hopefully, this has given you an idea on what to do with Tea, Yugi." Yugi's ears were now crimson as he gave them one last look before giving a tiny cry of, "That's not funny, Kaiba!" and running out.

Serenity smiled, shut and lock the doors. She leaned against them and asked, "You have a private bath, right?"

"Of course," he answered with a tiny grin.

She ran over to him and replied, "Good. Now, let's go there and give my brother something to worry about." Her grin was wicked as she helped him out of bed.

Seto didn't want to point out that most of this area was soundproof, but then he realized that he'd have to give Serenity something to scream about. He smirked at her and lifted her up. He asked, "Shall we?"

Her cheeks flushed as she looked him over and nodded. As he carried her to his private bathroom, she looked over his shoulder and chirped, "I never noticed what a cute butt you had."

He smiled and kissed her cheek. And he hurried to the bathroom.

The End!

So, what did you think? Are you inspired because I'd give my eyeteeth to read lemons between these two!

Plus, ever notice that a lot of the smut actions start with an "S"?
