Author Note: Once again another YGO fic and yes a SetoxShizuka. If you don't like drama, a little romance and SetoxShizuka fics then DON'T READ THIS FIC!I've removed all the songs I used to have in this story because of a change to the rules. I have used one or two lines as the characters merely speaking because I think it adds more feeling to the scene.

I had to take the lyrics out of this story because a friend said this site changed it's rules and now says we can't have lyrics in our stories. Sorry if this story is had to get into the mood with now the lyrics are out. The songs I used to have in this chapter were Numb and Faint by Linkin Park. So maybe listen to those songs during this chapter .

Disclaimer: I don't own YGO or any of the characters simply using them in my story. I can't write music for crap so any lines of songs I used in this story are not my own. Now to the story.


...:SUMMARY:...

In 1999, a sixteen year old Seoin Chante won the record breaking talent search show "Factors of a Star". Her first release became a number one immediately after its release and remained in the number one spot of the charts for 3 weeks after its debut. Ever since then, all of Seoin's song have gone to either the number one or number two place on the music charts.

At the same time as this, Koarin Bash and his band 'God's Dragons' struck a recording contract with their own debut single. Same as Seoin's career, all of 'God's Dragons' singles hit the top three of the charts and remained in the top three for at least a week after release.

Now both artists have reached the top of their game and need some ridicule to keep up their reputations. Their managers organize for the two bands to merge together under a new name and rock the world.

This is all good to members of both bands except for Seoin and Koarin who's intertwined past don't agree. Behind all the media and the music their past will be revealed and futures will be changed.


..:Madison Square Garden, New York:..

..: 2004 :..


Standing on a darkened stage, a young man waits. His slender fingers drumming along the rim of his guitar as he waits for the signal. ' Waiting... up here againthese people cheer for me... pleading for me to rock their pathetic minds.'

With that the signal began. A light melody that only a keyboard and piano could produce, came from behind the young man. After that a swirling noise joins in then lights flick on, illuminating the stage as the other instrument strummed in. A bass player and another guitarist leapt off side platforms as they came in with guitars.

The young man leaned forward into a microphone and drew a breath as the lyrics gave meaning to the music.

The lead singers hypnotising, husky growl of a voice held the last note, causing it to blend into the surrounding instruments of the other band members. The crowd screamed and cheered. Others were singing along or playing air instruments along to the music. A new voice enter the mix for a short line.

The new voice was more faded them the lead singers. Albeit the lyrics of being caught in an undertow seemed to suit the voice perfectly with a sea of fans absorbing every word. The guitar's cords ripped through the air in vibrating sound waves. Signalling the chorus was about to begin and promting the sea to screamed and sing louder.

The music softened again and the verse started. The bass humming setting mood and the guitars setting the melody, drums keeping the pace while the keyboards blended it together. The words strung together giving meaning to the notes, cords and rythems.

If possible the crowd pushes forward, many fans at the front becoming smashed into the guards. Although the guards could barely hold the sea back, for no man is strong enough to direct a sea.

The build up to the bridge blended it, disguising itself as a small cord change on the lead guitar. The leader singer cut his last note short and drew a breath to prepare his lungs for the pressure they were about to endure.

The lead singer slid his hands off the microphone and his guitar as all the other instruments died back down until only the piano and keyboard's moaning melody was left. The only sound after that was of the crowds.

The sea of thousands upon thousands of teenagers and young adults crying, screaming and reaching out for more. The rest of the band smiled at each other as congratulations for their fantastic opening.

The lead singer stood with his back to the roaring crowds as a desert-sand blonde haired teenager stood up to a microphone just off to the side. "Hey there and welcome to the show. That was Numb and it was written by our very own Kaiba Seto."

As if the name was some magic word the crowds became louder and started chanting the name of their god 'Dragon, Dragon, Dragon.'

"Before we start the next song I think the band should be introduced.Although I know you've all memorized our faces aready." He turned and pointed to the drummer. "On drums and percussion we have Katsuya,"

The blonde haired drummer stood up and grabbed a microphone near the drums and motioned to the dark hair man with the sleek black guitar. "On bass we have Ootogi."

The dark haired teen pointed over to the two white haired teens standing in the mids of keyboards and sound desks. " On keys you have England's very own snow haired brothers Ryou and Bakura."

The older looking of the two snow haired boys motion to the desert-sand blonde from before. " That's Malik who will be singing our next song and then our faithful leader, the Blue Eyed Dragon himself Seto Kaiba. Now our next song is Faint."

With that, the keyboard made an awkward screeching noise followed by a build up from the drums and a light hum of a bass. As they set the mood Seto's guitar ripples in with waves of blaring electricity. Everyone cut out except Seto.

After a few seconds of nothing but the guitars electric ripples the others came back in. Malik stepped up to his microphone and begun to string his lyrics together to the instrumentals.

On the last word that Malik rapped into the microphone, Seto Kaiba stepped up to his microphone, looking up from his guitar playing and took a deep breath. The sound of the music filled his ears amoung the screams and cries of desperation from the fans.

Seto Kaiba held the last note, extending it until the rest of the band urged their instruments back to the verse. He stepped back and turned his back to the audience and continued to play his guitar as Malik moved to take over the lyrics.

If it was possible, the cheering from the crowd grew louder throughout the song. With a quick pevit, the blue eyed Dragon took over to lyrics to finish the song, as Malik stepped back from his microphone.

As the last song of the night begun to fade into every ones' memory, the band gradually left the stage and strode backstage to their dressing room. Sweat soaked clothes discarded on the floor and instruments unplugged and back in their cases.

"Oh man did you hear that crowd tonight? They're almost as loud as Katsuya on the drums after a fight with Mai." Ootogi commented before hastily dodging Katsuya's towel's lash.

"Yeah yeah Mr. Funny. But honestly thay wer nuts!"

Not to long after Katsuya said that the band's manager walked in with a huge smile on his face. "Great work tonight guys." His eyes searched the room but then frowned.

"Where is Mr. Kaiba? I have important news he needs to hear about the next tour." Everyone in the band motioned to the back corner of the dressing room. The manager's eyes soon fell to a corner where Kaiba sat with his eyes closed and shirt open. "Ummm yes well I'm sure he can hear. The news is that you will have a special guest joining into your next tour and maybe even the band."
