Seeing that the Amazon cannibal wasn’t behind him, Kaiba calmed down. He was just having daydreams from all the stress he was under from operating the Battle city tournament. A nice calming cup of tea and termination of a few dozen employees would help him relax. Now firmly confident that he wasn’t losing his mind or reliving a past life in ancient Egypt, he put back on his mask of cold indifference and looked down upon who had interrupted him in his moment of confusion.

“Well, if it isn’t Wheelers sister. Shouldn’t you be in a hospital or something?” He hissed in his usual uncaring tone. Serenity, Joey Wheelers young blind sister, was standing in front of Kaiba. She had her bandages wrapped around her eyes, which didn’t affect the girl much because she was already blind. If Seto could remember right, the whole reason Wheeler joined the first battle tournament was to earn enough money to get surgery to fix his sisters eyes. Kaiba thought it was lazy of him not to have it done sooner, but chalked it up to his laziness and stupidity.

“Hello Seto, I thought it was you. I recognized your scream because I always hear you shouting when you’re around my brother.” Serenity giggled cutely and Kaiba felt a twinge of temptation to the young woman. She lacked the bouncy give of his last opponent, who has mysteriously disappeared to somewhere he has no idea about, but Serenity still had a cuteness to her that he found attractive.

“Don’t call me Seto, call me Kaiba like your idiot brother. I asked you why you aren’t in a hospital, did Wheeler blow his winnings on cheese burgers and you don’t have enough money any more?” Kaiba darkly chuckled, something like that was just what that fool would do. Kaiba was surprised though, when Serenity giggled herself at his cruel joke.

“No, my brother isn’t that silly. I was being taken for a walk through the city by one of the male nurses at the hospital, when something distracted him and he ran off. I was left to wander the city alone for an hour until meeting you.” Kaiba sneered, such incompetence at a hospital. He reminded himself to call the local hospital later and make sure that whoever was walking Serenity was fired and severally punished for abandoning the blind girl. I mean honestly, who leaves a person alone in the middle of a city when their blind?

“Did the fool that left you say anything before he left?”

“I did hear him say one thing before he disappeared. He mumbled something like, ‘Holy cow, is that Mai Valentine. She’s hot,’ and then he was gone.” Kaiba’s scowl deepened. Not only was this man incompetent, but he was also a pervert. There was no telling what he might have done to Serenity if he got a chance.

“Come on then, I’m taking you back to the hospital right now.” Kaiba grabbed her by her arm and started dragging her away. He hated to be distracted from the tournament or the strange daydreams, but even he wasn’t cold enough to leave a blind girl alone in the middle of the city. He’d help her, as long as she never told Wheeler or his buddies. The last thing he wanted was for them to think he was soft.

“Actually, I’d like to continue my walk through the city and I’d love for you to come with me, please?” Kaiba opened his mouth to protest, but Serenity started to pout. She would of also employed puppy dog eyes, but her eyes were currently covered. Seeing that she wasn’t going to relent, Kaiba gave in.

“Fine, I’ll walk with you,” he grumbled.

“Thank you Seto!” Serenity latched onto Kaiba’s arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Kaiba started to walk down the street with Serenity, silently wondering what’d gotten into him lately. He normally would never help a Wheeler, but here he was helping one. What was going on with him?
