Author's note: First of all, I would like to thank Kisara Strife, the64single, HiKari Mokuba's Guardian, 7th Librarian, and many other who have been great a inspiration for this fanfic. This is my very first fanfic ever and probably my last, but I have wanted to write this for several years now but I couldn't find time. I hope that there are still Seto Kaiba and Kisara shippers out there just like me and that this fanfic won't go unnoticed. Of course, any reviews are welcome. So, without further ado I present to you The Fire behind the Blue Eyes.

Disclaimer: all the characters mentioned in the story are from Yu Gi Oh by Kazuki Takahashi. I own nothing. The thumbnail picture is also not my property, you can see it here: kawacy/art/One-Last-Time-662642248

Chapter 1

"How is that possible?!" he roared at his team of terrified solicitors.

"Mr. Kaiba, sir, you must understand, we went through the agreement over and over again, tried to discover any loopholes, but nothing. Mr. Pegasus informed the media about it, although he didn't mention that it had already been planned 10 years ago. So the whole world knows, we cannot cover it up. The agreement is final. It must be done or you company will be taken over by Industrial Illusions."

Seto Kaiba couldn't believe what he was hearing. All the things the old man had done to him in the past, all the late night studying, stretching his mind to its limits, denying him of his childhood, were nothing compared to what the old wreck did now. It seemed that Gozaburo sought his revenge even beyond his grave.

"Why wasn't I informed about this earlier? How come you incompetent bastards didn't know about this? Speak!" he shouted at the poor soul who was nearest to him.

"Well, s...sir, the agreement was given to the owner of Industrial Illusions himself, Mr. Pegasus, and as it is stated in the agreement, only he, Mr. Gozaburo and their closest associates knew about this contract. We have received the memo from Industrial Illusions' solicitors just earlier today. The agreement is to be presented to you only the moment you turn 21, sir, and that is today."

"Well, turn Earth upside down for all I care, just find a way to stop this foolishness. What am I paying you for? Move, or you'll regret the day you were born!"

The poor people scrambled out the office as quickly as they could, too embarrassed to say a word.

Kaiba was sitting at his desk, brooding over the sheet of paper in front of him. It was funny how such an enormous change for this young CEO could fit on just several pages. What the hell had Gozaburo been thinking?

"Ok, so let her come." he thought to himself. "but I hope that Pegasus doesn't believe that he won this one, whatever his ulterior motives are." He opened his laptop and smirked. "I too have an ace up my sleeve."

Kisara was eleven years old when she found out from her uncle Max about her engagement to Seto Kaiba, a boy who was adopted by his business partner. Yes, she protested at first, but her uncle wouldn't hear it. He said that he knew what he was doing and that was for her own good. After a while she accepted her faith. She had everything her heart desired, clothes, jewelry, excellent education and a family. He gave her everything she had today so she owed her uncle that much. When her mother and father had died in a terrible car crash when she had been three, her mother's brother, Maximillion Pegasus immediately had adopted the child and he had been her guardian ever since. The trouble was that she rarely saw of her uncle, since he was always away on business. The only time they spent together was when they played chess, her favourite game in the world, and Duel Monsters, which she liked but only played because her uncle insisted. Uncle Max always tried to push her to her limits when it came to the game but she felt very pressured, considering the fact that he was the inventor of the game, and it seemed that she didn't meet his expectations. Still, she had enough freedom to have her own life in her spare time. However, being completely fair skinned in California didn't go in her favor when making friends, since most of the residents there were tanned from the sun, and her albino complexion made many people feel uneasy, some of them were even rude or frightened when they'd meet her. Fortunately, she really wasn't that interested in making too many friends. Her favorite friends were her books and chess, and she was content with it.

She kept picture of Seto Kaiba that had been presented to her by her uncle. She would daydream about him and what a wonderful man he would be and how perfect their marriage would be. When she had been younger she would search for his name on the Internet and see his face in newspapers, but now she realized that she really didn't know anything about him. She didn't feel like she was in love, and that was what a wife should feel for her husband – love, right? However, she thought, maybe she would fall in love with him in time. Besides, how actually bad could that Kaiba boy, as her uncle called him, be? Right?
