FOREWORD
(By the way, people who've already read this: I had to re-do this chapter so I could fix some important mistakes. Like how I got my E-mail address misspelled. I'm such a dolt at times.. forgive me.)
This is kind of a Yu-Gi-Oh version of Chobits, with Kaiba as Hideki and a character of my own creation as Chi. As Hideki is a far more kinder and gentler person than Seto, this will be sure to be more of a trial in relationship than it is for Chi and Hideki. Fans of both Chobits and Yu-Gi-Oh, I'm sure you have thought about a fan fiction like this. It's perfect because Seto is a genius in technology, and the character as Chi is a piece of amazing technology. We just hope he doesn't try to take apart our persocom friend... Oh, and this won't be very romantic. At least I'll try not to make it that way... because I'm not very fond of made-ups, even though I always do made-ups. I just don't like them to be Mary Sues.
And don't forget to review! Any questions or comments that you wish to be ANSWERED will be sent via E-mail, as I cannot and will not take up space in my fic answering questions.. It kind of distracts from the story. Also, at the bottom of each chapter I will be putting some explanations, such as certain Japanese words I will be using, what they mean and why I used them. For instance, the character that will be playing Chi will say "boku" whereas Chi says "chi". An explanation for that will come later. Anyway, if you wish to E-mail mail my address: DarkRulerofSanctuaryFiends@yahoo.com
You also have my permission to IM me at DarkRulerofSanctuaryFiends.
Well, thank you for reading this Foreword, and do enjoy the story!

Seto could only find himself rolling a pen over his desk. Skitter. Clack. Skitter.Clack. The pen kept rolling back to him no matter how many times he flicked it.
He finally picked up the pen and threw it at a wall. There, now it couldn't roll back to him. He snorted. He had things to do rather than roll a pen around.
"Grrr." Said Kaiba.
"WHIR." Said the ceiling fan. Kaiba was bored with work. He could not touch his keyboard. He wouldn't. He glared at his computer, which just stared blankly back with it's glowing screen and mass of letters.
Kaiba stood up and pushed his chair in. Time to go for a midnight drive.
._. -_- v_v -'-'
Seto rolled down his window and watched the empty streets pass by. Nobody out at this hour... everybody sleeping except him. Work had begun to depress him. It never ended.
"Grr.." Kaiba growled again, and would've continued his midnight driving and doldrums had not something caught his eye. "Driver, stop!" He signaled, and the car slowed down. Kaiba stepped out and realized how cold it was. He looked around and tried to visualize in his mind what he had seen that had caught his interest so. It had been a white blotch against a black background. Was it snow? Why would a pile of snow be laying out in the sidewalk...? He stood there and looked at the sky for a moment. It was very cold.. he could see his breath if he walked under a street light. The sky was clouded heavily and he wondered if it might indeed snow.
"Anything wrong sir?" His driver called out impatiently.
"Hold on." Kaiba snapped. He walked down the sidewalk the car had been stopped at and look into empty windows of shops. He stopped at an alley and had almost missed it, that white amongst the black. It was an alley heaped in quite a few bags of garbage, but amongst the trash lay strewn....
A girl.
She was tied up with white bandages, that wrapped around her otherwise naked white body.
So that's why she seemed to be a blotch of white. She had long white hair, and white skin that stood out plainly against the black garbage bags.
Seto panicked. Was it a corpse? It looked fresh. But there were no wounds.. maybe she had been choked.. who left her here? Should he call the police?
He calmed down and leaned a bit closer to inspect the body, and he noticed something protruding from either side of her head. Cautiously, he brushed aside her hair to reveal what they were. They were.. ears. But not human ears, more of a metallic construction, and shaped rather like those of a cat. They were black and very shiny, with a button or a bolt maybe, in the center of each ear.
"What in the world..." Seto whispered, his misted breath rising up from his face.
He inspected the girl a bit closer. She was very cold, and lifeless. He lifted an eyelid and stared into her black eye.
Then he inspected the ears closer. He found that they were indeed connected to her head. He traced the ears over with his fingers again and again, flustered. His thumb slipped on the button and the ear split in two, revealing a cord connection inside.
He grasped it in his fingers and pulled, and the cord came out, longer than he had expected it to be. He let go and it snapped back into the ear. He closed the ear.
"It must be some kind of robot." He thought in awe. "What kind of robot could be made to look so human?" He touched the skin on its face. "How can this skin feel so real?" He wondered. His driver pulled up by the curb and honked outside the alley.
Seto decided he had no time to wait, and this was a great treasure. He would bring the robot home with him. But.. he could not let anyone see it. Not yet. Not until he was done researching it further.. though he had never heard of a technology as advanced as this. He knew of robots that were but mere metal and cords, and he knew of those robotic dinosaurs and things at amusement parks.. but nothing quite so advanced as this. His driver honked again and Seto scowled. He quickly covered the robot girl over with a trash bag and picked her up, straining slightly. She was very heavy. His driver quirked a brow at him through the window. "Ah.. everything all right, sir?" He said, eyeing the trash bag.
"Nothing's wrong, just don't pay attention to this. And tell no one that I brought anything home.." He warned. The driver raised his eyebrows again but said nothing else.
On the drive home, Seto could not keep himself from peeking under the bag. He felt those metallic ears again and again, looking for some sort of imprinted logo or brand name perhaps.
Eventually, the car stopped at his home. He rushed into the house and all the way to his room and flicked on the lights, and laid the robot onto his bed. In his hassle to heave the robot up the stairs, into his bedroom, he had become very tired. She was heavy. "I should expect no less from such a unique robot." He thought as he panted a bit. "It's probably filled with many heavy cords and metal parts.."
He popped open her ears and examined the cords more closely. They looked like they might plug into something.. a VCR or a computer perhaps. He let go of it and it snapped back into the ear. He lifted up an arm and searched it's length, underneath it. Nothing.. just unmarked flesh. Or synthetic flesh, really.
As hours passed he had searched the body of the robot and found nothing. Except.. a switch. In the small of its back. It had no markings indicating "on" or "off". He contemplated whether or not he should push the switch. For all he knew, it could break it. "But, it might already be broken..." He decided. He flicked the switch.
At first the body lay dormant still, but then he heard a faint sound. Much like the sound of a computer that's just been turned on, clickings and beeps...
They eyes of the robot girl opened slowly, and the black in them dimmed and faded away until they were a pale blue-grey, and they sparkled as though she were truly alive. Her white body glowed more white, white hot like a coal, and the bandages fell off as if the glow were forcing them apart. Her white hair encased her body as if wind were blowing it, and the clicking sounds stopped. Her hair and the bandages fell limp. Her body stopped glowing and she sat up. She gazed at Seto emotionlessly.
"....Hello?" Seto waved his hand up and down, the computer's eyes followed.
"Boku*?"
"Yes.. you."
"Bo?"
Seto sighed. It could talk, but it must not be as advanced as he had thought. All it could say was "Boku."
"Maybe I can teach you how to use other words... can you say "Seto"?" He asked it, pointing to himself. "S-E-T-O."
The computer blinked.
"S..."
"Seto."
"S-Seto? Boku?"
The robot pointed at Seto. "Seto!" She smiled and pointed eagerly. "Seto! Seto!"
"Yes, that's right..."
Then she pointed at a pillow. "Seto!" Her finger moved to point at a window. "Seto!"
She pointed at everything in her sight. "Seto! Seto! Seto!"
Seto growled. "No, I'M Seto! You must think pointing a finger means "Seto".. Teaching you will be harder than I thought.
"'And when you do learn, I will be able to find out more about you.." He thought to himself.
"Well, I can't just call you "robot". I think I'll call you Yukiko."
'A fitting name, since I thought she was snow at first...'
The computer girl smiled. "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!" She tackled Seto in a hug. "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!"
Seto finally realized just how human this robot looked.. a girl.. with no clothes...
He pushed her off.
"Ku?" Yuki looked confused.
"Before I teach you anything.. you need clothes." Seto grumbled.
_ _ O_O; e.e -.-
So, do tell me what you think! It kind of follows the Chobits story line closely, but I will try my best to make it uniquely different!
*Boku is Japanese for "me" or "I".
*Yuki is Japanese for "snow". Hence, "Yukiko" means "Snow child."
Until next time....
Author's note: What's this? Seto gave the computer an affectionate nickname?! A conspiracy! Noooo! Okay I'll stop now...
