Me: Okay, in this story, Seto and Jou are already together, and have been since the beginning of Battle City. This takes place during Noa's virtual game and maybe a little afterward, and I kind of twist the story...a....lot.....^_^0 Anyway please read and review

Summary: What if Noa took something just as precious to Seto as Mokuba and controlled it instead? Would Seto go to any lengths to save it? Read and find out!

Rivalry of the Heart

~~~

"And if we win, we will escape in your bodies!" One of the Big Five roared.

Kaiba Seto growled, as he pulled Jounouchi Katsuya closer to him.

"Your sick!" Katsuya declared, his knuckles white, as he gripped Seto's jacket, tightly.

Noa's harsh, high pitched laugh rang through the mechanical looking room, as a light flashed, and Katsuya and Seto were yanked apart.

Katsuya yelped and made a dash back over to the brunette, but as he did the floor opened beneath him and he fell through.

"Katsuya!" Seto called, jumping for him. He hit the floor, hard, as the floor closed.

"Oh no, Jou!" Shizuka cried, her hands on her cheeks, and horrified expression on her face.

Seto gritted his teeth, "Where the hell is he, you disgusting maniac?"

Noa laughed, harshly again, "I'm sure you'll find him. You're joining the game, soon, anyway! Haha!"

Before Seto could even stand all the way, he was falling, the same as Katsuya had been. In fact, by this point, they were all falling through gaps in the floor now.

Seto and Mokuba hit the hard ground in the same place.

"'Nii-san!" Mokuba dashed toward him, "Where are we?"

"Inside...the game," Seto murmured.

~~~

Shizuka hit the ground and looked around, "Strange..."

A breeze blew past her.

"How strange...it's so real..."

A large wave came up on the beach, and suddenly many, large water-based duel monsters began to chase her.

She and cried out, "To real! HELP!"

~~~

"That was Shizuka!" Otogi called.

"Yeah, I heard it too!" Honda said as they raced off to find her.

~~~

Yamii hit the ground hard, and Yuugi landed on top of him (AN See, twisted plot! Yami is already a different person! MWAHAHA!).

"Where are we, Yami?" Yuugi murmured, a little shakily.

"I don't know..."

Suddenly, the water swished up in a spiral and when it reverted back into the lake before them, Gansley, as the Deep Sea Warrior, floated ahead of them.

"Well, I wasn't expecting two bodies, but I suppose I'll take whichever I duel."

"I doubt it," Yami said, as he murged with Yuugi and, was left standing there, "I'll beat you."

(AN I'm not one for detailing duels...sorry...)

~~~

Katsuya crashed to the floor, and rubbed his nose. He seemed to be in a large castle.

He growled, "'ey, ya big jerks! Where are ya! I'm not scared of you! Come out and fight, ya fuckers!"

Nothing.

He sighed, "Seto, find me soon..."

~~~

Yami's odds loked slim at that point. He growled as Gansley took the upper hand.

/Yami...I'm here...I know you can beat this guy!/ Yuugi called through their link. Yami smiled. He knew he could pull through anything with Yuugi backing him up. That's how they'd always pulled through. With each other. And Yuugi's friends.

Yes, he had to win...so they could find Yuugi's friends.

Yami glared, hard, at Gansley, and pulled the defining card, winning the match, and sending Gansley packing.

Yuugi and Yami seperated again, "Come on, Yami, let's find the others!"

~~~

Anzu shuddered. This place was, creepily, real.

A low, deep, and cruel laugh rang out.

"Hello, my dear," Crump said, from his short Penguin body.

Anzu shuddered again, "What do you want?!"

"A duel, my dear," Crump said, menacingly.

"I don't duel!" Anzu cried. Suddenly, a duel disk appeared on her wrist.

"You do, now," The peguin said, icily.

Anzu's eyes widened, and she gulped. Dark Magician Girl was summoned as her deck master.

A few minutes into the duel, Yuugi and Yami appeared, "Anzu!!"

/Anzu, summon Yuugi's Dark Magician,/ DM Girl thought to Anzu, using one of her special effects.

Anzu nodded, and summoned Dark Magician, who, in a matter of minutes, helped her win the duel.

~~~

Seto blinked. What was going on? He was in one of his memories. The orphanage. He looked upon himself.

(AN If words have around them, it's memory quotes)

"This is for the best, Mokie" Seto said.

Little Mokuba frowned at his older brother.

"I know, nii-san..."

The real Mokuba scowled.

"That was the day, we had to grow up for good," He started, "And the day you stopped calling me Mokie..."

Seto closed his eyes, "Mokuba..."

Mokuba glared at Seto, and went toward a door on the other side of the hall.

~~~

Katsuya found a way out of the weird castle, and in front of small building.

"What is this?" He started walking toward it.

~~~

Mokuba opened the door, and as he stepped in, he fell, "AHH!"

Seto's eyes went wide and he dived in after him, barely catching the cliff's edge with his other hand, "HOLD ON, MOKUBA!"

"I'M SLIPPING!"

Seto cringed. So was his hand. Gods, he hoped someone was out there.

~~~

"HOLD ON MOKUBA!"

"I'M SLIPPING!"

Katsuya knew those voices. His eyes went wide and he cried, "SETO?!"

Seto stopped and stared up at the agape door, "KATSUYA!"

Katsuya definitely knew it was him, now, "SETO, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"FOLLOW MY VOICE! HURRY!"

Katsuya followed his voice to a hallway, where he spotted an ajar door, "NOW WHERE?"

"DOWN HERE!"

Katsuya blinked, and rushed to the door, "Oh my gods, Seto, Mokuba! What happened?"

Seto glared, "Less talk, more life saving."

"Oh!" Katsuya grabbed his arm, and in turn Seto's own hand grasped the blonde's arm, and he pulled the up, with Seto's slight help. The three of them panted, from being tired, and from fright.

Seto embraced Katsuya, who was hugged in return by the blonde, "Gods, I'm so glad you found us."

"Me too....I like pancakes, I'll admit, but not Seto pancakes...what happened?"

Suddenly, the orpahnage faded away into the endless desert.

Seto scowled, "Noa trapped us in a memory and then _set_ traps within it."

Katsuya nuzzled the brunette, never feeling happier to see him. That had been a close one. Seto kissed the top of his head.

"Somehow...I don't think this is the end..." Mokuba said as he spotted Judgeman.

The two young men looked up.

"You!" The Judgeman said, pointing a large finger at Katsuya.

"Johnson! You're quirrel....all five of your quirrel's, are with me! Leave Katsuya out of this!" Seto growled, as he pulled the blonde closer to him.

"I would, but Noa's direct orders were that you and all your little friends all have to duel. So I'll crush your little blonde whore, then I'll squah you!" Johnson replied.

"'ey, you stupid-ass prick, I am not a whore!" Katsuya jumped up, "Bring it on, you son of the bitch!"

Katsuya yanked his arm straight, and the Duel Disk sprang to life, forming into it's rightful shape and shooting th holo-pods onto the ground, "Let's duel!"

Seto stood. He couldn't believe Katsuya was doing this. Then again, if there was one thing his puppy hated more then anything, it was being branded as nothing but a toy to Seto.

No, Seto didn't think of him as a toy. But he wasn't really sure what his feelings toward him were yet. Was it love he felt for Katsuya? He didn't know.

The blonde called the Flameswordsman as his Deck Master, and of course, Johnson, had Judgeman.

As they dueled, it seemed Johnson had the upperhand.

"No...I can't lose..."Katsuya growled, through gritted teeth.

Yuugi, Yami and Anzu, suddenly ran up next to Seto and Mokuba.

"What's going on?!" Yuugi asked, horrified at the sight before him.

"Katsuya is losing..." Seto said, darkly.

Yuugi's horrified look only intensified, "Oh...COME ON, JOU, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!"

"Yeah, come on, Jou!" Anzu cried.

Katsuya was still losing, though his game started to improve. What he really needed was Seto's support. Knowing that Seto was backing him up was the greatest feeling in the world to him.

Yuugi looked up at Seto, "He needs you! Support him and acknowledge that you're doing it!"

Seto closed his eyes, before snapping them open again. Yuugi was right. Katsuya needed him. Even Mokuba was cheering him.

Seto nodded, "I know you can win, Katsuya! Johnson is nothing but a second class business man who even a child could beat at this game!"

With Seto's words Johnson's ego decreased, and Katsuya's stamina and game increased. He won within the next few minutes.

"Yeah!!" He cried, jumping on Seto, and kissing him, softly. Seto's arms snaked around his waist. This was all he needed.

Simply this.

But even though he had a moment of bliss, he feared the worst was yet to come...
