Red: I fell in love with the pairing Atem/YamiYugi/Kagome when I read some really good fanfics about them. I just couldn't put those fanfics down and absolutely adore those stories, so now I decided to write one too!
Just so you guys know, I mainly like Atem/YamiYugi with Kagome, but there is going to be some Seto/Kagome in this story. It's mainly going to be toward the beginning of the fic.
IMPORTANT: Kagome did not travel to the Feudal Era in this fanfic. (Which means no Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and the others.) Don't worry, though, she will still have supernatural things happen to her. :P
Disclaimer: You are crazy if you think I own any of these characters. They belong to their rightful owners.
Summary: What would you do if your soulmate and queen did not want you? What do you do when she is your rival's girlfriend? What would you do when she tells you her heart has changed and she no longer feels anything towards you? Kagome was Atem's queen and soulmate. But in present day she is Seto Kaiba's girlfriend. Despite his odds, Atem is going to fight for her until she gives in.
Change of Heart
Chapter One: Return
[Japan Airlines will be boarding in fifteen minutes.]
A petite Japanese girl with raven locks rolled her luggage along the slick tile floor to the seating area of the airport to wait for her flight back to her home country of Japan.
She found a seat close to the boarding door and decided to take out her phone to pass the time. She looked through her photos and let a soft smile spread across her face as she looked at the person on her screen.
'It had been so long since I have last seen him,' she thought as she continued to flip through photos of a young boy around the age of ten.
Upon closer inspection of the girl, anyone could see that she was very beautiful, with her jet-black hair which had a slight blue tint to it when it shined in the light. The locks of hair flowed down her back in slightly messy waves. She wore a cute knitted, pastel pink sweater-shirt with a white skirt and cream-colored knee socks and white boots. She appeared to be very modest about her beauty when looking at her clothing because she did not openly show her skin with revealing clothes.
Many of the passing men could not help but stare at the cute girl as she giggled at her phone. Even her voice was that of angels. Some men sighed as they stared from a distance. She gave off such a pure aura that it made all the men stay away, afraid of tainting the angel with their human essence.
The name of said angel is Kagome.
Kagome continued to look through her photos happily, completely oblivious to the looks she was receiving: loving looks from men and jealous looks from women. Even the women knew they could not compare to such purity. It was as if she was a goddess stuck in a human body. They were envious, but at the same time they could not bring themselves to dislike the girl completely. It felt like a sin to dislike such a person without even knowing them.
As everyone continued to stare, Kagome went on looking through the pictures of her boyfriend to pass the time. She had not seen him in many years since she had to go to school overseas, but he told her he would wait for her, and she trusted his words.
Plus, the fact no one else can really stand the CEO of Kaiba Corp.
That is right. Her boyfriend is none other than Seto Kaiba.
She continued to giggle at the photos she had of Seto when they were younger. 'He had such a nice smile back then,' she thought as she stopped giggling and sadly looked at a pic of Seto smiling at the camera with his arms crossed. 'All of the stress and work took the smile off his face,' she thought sadly.
[Japan Airlines is now boarding.]
Kagome gets up and grabs her luggage. 'I plan to change that, though,' she thought as she turned off her cell phone and made her way to the boarding door. 'Wait for me, Seto. I am almost home.'
The gang was walking down the street when they had come across Kaiba coming out of his corporation building. Joey had bumped into him because he was not looking at where he was going. The sudden force knocked the blond on his butt.
"Sorry, man. I didn't see you there," Joey apologized until he saw who he bumped into. "Nevermind, it's just Kaiba."
"Hmph. I'm not the one sitting on the ground, Wheeler," Kaiba retorted with his arms crossed. "But I guess that's where a dog belongs."
"You're such an asshole, Kaiba!" Joey got up and screamed at the CEO as he tried to punch Kaiba in the face, but got held back by Tristan. Kaiba smirked at the blond's demise.
"And you're an idiot, Wheeler. Glad that we got the basics covered," Kaiba said smugly with his arms crossed.
Joey's blood began to boil. "Why you—"
"Come on, Joey. Please calm down," Yugi said to his friend as he tried to stop Joey from picking a fight with Kaiba. He did not like how Kaiba treats his friends—or people in general—but he disliked fighting even more.
"But Yug!" Joey protested.
"Joey. Hitting Kaiba won't change the way he is," Yugi tried to reason.
"Yeah, it would take a miracle for this rock—" Joey gestures to Kaiba. "—to break," Joey replied, finally calming down. Tristan releases his grip from the blond. After finally being released, Joey dusted off the invisible dirt on his shoulders.
"Seto!" The group heard a female voice yell before they saw a girl in a white skirt tackle-hug the CEO.
"Or a girl in a skirt..." Joey added. The group was in complete shock. Who was this girl and why was she hugging the devil?
"I've missed you so much, Seto," the girl proclaimed and lifted her face from his chest so he could get a good look at her face.
Shock was apparent on Kaiba's face. "K-Kagome?"
Kagome lets go of Seto and smiles as she does a twirl to show him how much she has changed. "In the flesh!" she says as she winks at him.
Kaiba stared at the girl he had not seen in so many years. Kaiba has seen his share of "gorgeous" women in his life since they tried to fight for his attention, but no women can compare to Kagome's beauty. He also appreciated how Kagome was never the type to flaunt her beauty around. She wore modest clothing and wore barely any makeup.
"Uh... What the hell is going on here?" Joey asks the question which was running through everyone's mind. They all looked at the beautiful girl who radiated purity and happiness. They have never seen a girl genuinely happy to see Kaiba, and not be after his money. Just by looking at her, everyone knew she was not interested in his money or fame. She truly loved the presence of Seto Kaiba.
Kagome turns around and looks at the group of people she completely missed when she first got there. "Oh, my apologies. I did not mean to interrupt you when you were talking with you friends, Seto," Kagome looks at Seto's "friends" and apologizes.
"What?" Both Joey and Seto exclaimed.
"I am not friends with—"
"—this asshole!"
"—these idiots."
Kagome laughs at their synchronization. "Is this sexual tension I hear?" The rest of the group, excluding Kaiba and Joey, burst out laughing at her remark. She was definitely not the girl they expected to be hanging around Kaiba. She was so cute and nice that they just could not see her with the jerk of a CEO.
"Kagome," Seto grumbled dangerously at the small Asian girl.
"Ok, ok, Mr. Grumpy Pants. You know I'm just joking," she said as she placed a kiss on his cheek.
This caused the whole group to fall silent from their laughing. The gang was in complete shock for the second time. This girl had just arrived from nowhere and had given Kaiba a hug and now a kiss. What is this world coming to?
"W-What?" Yugi couldn't stop himself from blushing at the girl's bold actions.
Kagome turn towards the group and saw all of their mouths hanging in shock. "Hm? What's wrong? A girl can't give her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek?" she asked them.
There was a blank look on everyone's face.
"BOYFRIEND?" The gang yelled with shock.
Kagome giggled at the shocked expression everyone in the group had. "Yup! I'm Seto Kaiba's girlfriend?" She winks at them. "My name is Kagome. It's a pleasure to meet you all," she said and bowed.
"W-W-Wh— H-How?" Joey try to voice out. He looked at the cute girl, then back at Kaiba, then back at the girl.
Kaiba smirked at the blond's expression. "Have a problem with my girlfriend, Wheeler?" he asked smugly.
"W-Wha— HOW COULD SUCH A PRETTY, SWEET-LOOKING GIRL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" Joey yelled and pointed an accusing finger at the CEO. "I thought you hated everyone besides your brother! You never talked about her before!"
"I find no reason to tell you of all people about my love life," Kaiba states, crossing his arms.
"B-But—"
"Enough, Wheeler. You're going to catch flies in that open mouth of yours," Kaiba said as he uncrossed his arms and put one arm around Kagome.
Kagome feels her boyfriend's arm wrap around her and she looks up at him with loving eyes. She leans her back against his chest to increase the contact between them.
Everyone looked at them in shock. Seto Kaiba is actually allowing someone other than his brother touch him. Plus, the fact he actually looks happy.
Well, as happy as Kaiba can look, that is.
While everyone was in shock, Yugi snapped out of it and looked at the couple with a smile. He felt elated for his rival. If anyone could change Kaiba's attitude towards others for the better, it will probably be this girl. He did not know this girl very well, but he just knew she would be good for Kaiba. Even though Kaiba was not the nicest person, he still deserved to be loved by another.
Kaiba looks down as his girlfriend while the gang as preoccupied with their shock. "I thought you were supposed to be here in another hour," he said to her softly. He did not expect her for another hour.
"I got a notification saying the time changed. But instead of telling you about the change, I decided to surprise you!" Kagome said with a smile on her face.
Kaiba sighs. There goes the limo he arranged for her. 'But I guess it doesn't really matter,' he thought. He strokes her hair. "I'm glad to see you again," he tells her, a smile almost appearing its way on his face.
"Me too." She gives him another loving smile, while snuggling a little more into his chest. She did not mind the fact he was not open about smiling in public. She understood he had to keep up an image around other people.
While the couple enjoyed each other's company, Yugi senses Yami appear next to him. "Who is this, Yugi?" he hears the spirit ask him.
'Oh, Spirit. This is Kaiba's girlfriend,' Yugi answered back in his mind so Kaiba and the new girl did not think he was crazy for talking to himself.
Yami was mildly shocked at the news. "Girlfriend?" Yami questioned.
'Yeah, everyone found it a bit strange,' Yugi replied. Yugi then realized the spirit was probably not here during the whole conversation with the new girl. He turns to the spirit. 'What have you been doing, Spirit?' Yugi asks him.
Yami crosses his arms and got a thoughtful look on his face as if he was contemplating something. "I've been trying to investigate the different doors in my soul room to see if any of them will give me clues about my past," the spirit explains. "Every time I find a new door, I open it to see if it contains anything, but it was empty. It showed a never ending void of darkness which appeared to have no end. And consequently, no answer." The spirit puts his head in his hand and sighs. "It seems every time I find a new door, it just leads me to another dead end."
Yugi felt a little bad for his partner. He is trying so hard to find the answers which will unlock his past, but nothing is showing up. He clenches his fist and looked Yami straight in the eyes. "Don't worry, Spirit. We will all try to help you figure out your past,' he thought with determination.
Yami could not help but smile at his partner's determination. "Right!" he says and nods to his friend.
After having his conversation with Yugi, Yami then looks up and notices the new girl was looking at him. Him. Not Yugi. "Can she see me?" he asked himself. He was shocked even more when the girl subtly nodded her head at him, answering his question.
As if his life could not get anymore complicated, Ra decided to throw a new mysterious girl who can see him in his spirit form.
He sighed and decided to get a good look at the girl. He usually did not care about women and their looks since he had more important things to worry about at every given moment. Plus, the fact the body he is a host of is not truly his. Any type of relationship would be impossible for him.
Yami studies the girls features. She was quite beautiful, but that was not what caught his attention. What grabbed him were her eyes. They were as blue as the finest sapphires found on earth. But that is not the only thing which made his heart pound in his chest. It was the feelings he got when looking deep into her eyes. There was something familiar about this girl. Something that made his body yearn for her.
Yami tried to shake the thought from his mind. He cannot be feeling something towards a girl, let alone Kaiba's girl.
Speaking of Kaiba, Yami looks at his rival. Even though he was a reasonable man, Yami could not stop the sickening feeling rising from the pit of his stomach as his eyes fell on the arms that wrapped around the petite girl.
It appears Ra is trying to send him an answer to all his questions. There is something familiar about the new girl and he will have to confront her about it soon. Maybe she is like Ishizu and knows something about his past. At this point, he is willing to try to get any answers he can. This girl could possibly be the key which will unlock the answers to his past.
Or to a door with another dead end.
Only time will tell.
