A/N: I've had this idea for a while. I love the TV show Glee, and if you haven't checked it out, you definitely should. I wanted to redo it with the YGO characters and an all knew story line. I hope you like it! Pairings are going to be a surprise, but most of your favorite characters will make appearances I promise. Writing my other two stories is using up all of my angst, so I wanted to take a break and work on something fun. And…voila!

Summary: Inspired by the TV show Glee. Seto Kaiba turned his back on music and Glee Club after a traumatizing event. When he is forced to become the new director, will his heart finally melt? Who will join Glee? This will be a story filled with humor, love, friendship and of course: music!

o.O.o Glee o.O.o

Chapter One – Back to You

The radio buzzed incomprehensibly. Seto Kaiba smacked it with the palm of his hand as if hitting it were some sort of magical cure. He groaned in irritation and switched off the radio.

It didn't matter anyway; it was just noise to him. Ever since he had stopped listening to music, the radio seemed to be a pointless possession. He only turned it on when he was on in his car on the way to work to distract him from the construction work outside. He never listened to music stations however, he normally tuned into the news or political talk shows.

He pulled into the Domino High School parking lot in silence. He quickly found his own space and parked his silver Cadillac CTS. He grabbed his coffee with one hand and shoved his door open with the other before pulling himself out of the vehicle.

"It's uh…like french fries. Crazy french fries in purple ketchup, yeah that's it."

Seto gritted his teeth. He knew that voice. He hated that voice.

"No way, Wheeler…french fries are hot, and I assure you, this kid is not."

"I'm not a kid…"

Seto quickly followed the sound of the voices. It led him to the dumpsters, where three men wearing varsity letterman jackets stood around a small boy with the strangest hair Seto had ever laid eyes on.

"Is there a problem, boys?"

Joey Wheeler sneered at the teacher. "Ah, Mr. Kaiba, to what do we owe this pleasure?"

Seto chuckled. "You owe it to yourself, Wheeler. Your loud mouth is what led me here." Seto glanced down at the short boy being restrained by Joey's strong arms. "I don't tolerate bullying whatsoever. Let the kid go."

The boy groaned. "I'm not a kid…"

Seto pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. "It doesn't matter; the point is they're not going to get away with this."

Joey laughed. "What are you gonna do about it, Kaiba? Run to Principal Crawford?"

Seto smirked. "Not exactly."

Before any of the onlookers could even blink, Seto threw his scalding hot coffee in Joey's shocked face. The blonde teenager stumbled backward in surprise, cupping his burning face in his hands. The short boy ran to Seto's side and the latter stepped in front of him protectively. Joey fell to his knees and cried out in pain.

"That's right…cower before me like the mongrel you really are. I'm so sick of seeing you walk around this place as if you own it. You are an animal, and you should be treated as such."

"Just…just you wait until Coach Taylor hears about this!" Joey screamed angrily.

Seto tossed his head back in a hearty laugh. "Oh, please, spare me your threats. Tristan Taylor is one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met; I doubt he will sympathize with your situation."

Marik Ishtar pulled on Joey's arm until he was in a standing position. "Come on, man! We gotta go!"

Joey lifted his head to glare at Seto. His face was red and a few small burn marks were present. Their eyes remained locked in a vicious stare-off until Joey finally turned away to jog toward the school building. Seto shook his head as he watched the trio retreat. He turned to the small boy who was rubbing his forehead furiously.

Seto gripped the boys chin and moved his face so that he could see the damage that had been done. The boy's innocent, childlike eyes widened at the sudden movement. There was a bruise beginning to form on his forehead and a small cut beside his right eyebrow. His lower lip was slightly cut on the left side as well and a small trail of blood had flowed to his chin. Some of Seto's coffee had landed in his tri-colored mess of hair.

Seto sighed sadly. "Let's go clean you up."

The boy's lip trembled. "Th-thank you sir…I'm Yugi Mutou."

Seto nodded. "I'm Seto Kaiba…but for obvious reasons, I think it would be best if you call me Mr. Kaiba."

Yugi nodded slowly and Seto released his chin. They began to make their way to the main school building. "Are you a freshman?" Seto asked curiously.

Yugi shook his head. "I'm actually a sophomore."

"Hmm, I don't recall seeing you around here before," Seto mused.

"You wouldn't be the first to say that, I'm pretty good at not being seen."

Seto frowned but didn't say anything else. Yugi was unusually pleasant for a Domino High student. Seto normally found that he was unable to be within three feet of one particular teen for more than five minutes, but Yugi didn't seem to be as immature as the rest.

"No one has done something like that for me before."

Seto sighed again. "I'm sorry to hear that. My little brother, Mokuba, was bullied when we lived in an orphanage. Ever since, I've hated people like Joey Wheeler."

Yugi frowned. "I think Joey is very misunderstood."

Seto laughed. "That dog was about to throw you into a dumpster and you say that he is 'very misunderstood'? You're an interesting kid, Mutou."

"Not a kid…" Yugi mumbled.

Seto chuckled. "To me, all of you are kids." A serious expression returned to his features as they entered the school. "Do you know why they do this to you?"

Yugi shrugged. "I'm short, I look like I'm 8 years old, I have crazy hair…you name it," he murmured sardonically.

"You don't-"

"Kaiba boy."

Seto froze. Yugi did as well, his youthful eyes once again widening into large saucers. They both looked guilty as sin as if they had just finished robbing a bank.

Seto turned around. Principal Crawford was standing in the doorway of the main office with his arms crossed and a disappointed look on his face.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Pegasus, I will speak to you in a moment, I have something to take care of." He gestured toward Yugi who still had his back to Pegasus.

Pegasus wagged a finger and clicked his tongue as if he were reprimanding a child. "This is more important, I assure you. A student entered my office not too long ago, dripping in coffee with multiple burn marks on his face. He accused you of drenching him in your morning espresso. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Seto growled. "He deserved it! Look at this boy, he hurt him! There are rules against violence in this school, did you expect me to stand idly by while he was pummeled and thrown into the dumpster?" He shouted angrily. He grabbed Yugi's arm and whirled him around for Pegasus to see. Yugi's cheeks turned a deep shade of red as the principal studied his face.

Pegasus was obviously not pleased with Yugi's appearance. "Hmm…nevertheless, Kaiba boy, you caused bodily harm to one of your students! Violence between students might not be tolerated, but neither is staff violence!" He turned his attention to Yugi once more. "I promise Mr. Wheeler will be punished for his actions." He then looked back at Seto. "And so will you, Seto."

Seto sighed and massaged his temple with his hand. "Yugi, you should run along. I suggest you clean yourself up before going to class, though."

Yugi nodded. "Thanks again Mr. Kaiba…I'm so, so sorry…"

Seto looked over at him, but before he could respond, Yugi had run from his side. He quickly turned a corner and was gone from sight.

"Now, if you please…follow me into my office, Kaiba boy." Pegasus turned to walk inside again, but Seto remained still as a statue.

"Tell me, am I fired?"

Pegasus laughed. "Don't be a fool! I love you too much, Kaiba boy."

Seto shook his head. "You love what I used to be."

Pegasus whirled around and fixed Seto with a huge grin. "You miss it, don't you?"

Seto looked away. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Pegasus clicked his tongue again. "You know exactly what I mean. Music, dancing…Glee Club."

Seto took a dangerous step toward Pegasus, his eyes snapping back to the flamboyant principal's own. "Don't mention that waste of a club to me."

Pegasus frowned. "I don't see why I shouldn't, since your punishment is to be the new director of Glee."

Seto held his breath. His heart nearly stopped as he stared at his employer. "Please…please tell me I heard you incorrectly…"

Pegasus shook his head. "You heard me loud and clear, Kaiba boy. You are the new director of Glee Club, and if you don't fulfill your duties, I will fire you."

Seto's eye twitched and a feral snarl escaped his lips. "Is this some sort of joke? Why would you fire me for not doing my job as…director of Glee?"

Pegasus placed a hand on Seto's shoulder. "This will be good for you. You lost yourself years ago because of Glee, and it's time that you found yourself again."

Seto shrugged off Pegasus's hand. "Whatever," he snapped venomously. He quickly fled from Pegasus's presence.

He came to an abrupt halt as he noticed the old choir room. He hesitated briefly before moving toward the door. He slowly opened the door and peeked inside to see that no one was in sight. He sighed in relief and slipped inside. He pressed his back against the door as it closed and closed his eyes.

"Back to you…
it always comes around,
back to you…"

Seto sighed and opened his eyes.

"I tried to forget you,
I tried to stay away,
but it's too late…"

Seto pushed off of the door and strode into the classroom, looking around himself and taking in the familiar place.

"Over you,
I'm never over
over you…
Something about you
it's just the way you move,
the way you move me…"

He jumped on the risers and made his way to the top level. He gripped the gated backing and leaned backward so that he was staring at the ceiling.

"I'm so good at forgetting
and I quit every game I've played.
But forgive me 'love'
I can't turn and walk away…"

He let go of the metal poles and jumped off of the risers. He pulled himself onto the piano in a sitting position.

"Back to you,
it always comes around,
back to you…
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
with your silhouette."

He pushed off of the piano and walked up to the wall. Several pictures hung there, but Seto had his eyes on only one. He removed it from the wall and examined it.

"Should have smiled in that picture
if it's the last that I'll see of you,
it's the least that you could not do…"

"…Seto?"

Seto jumped in surprise and dropped the picture. He watched in disdain as the frame hit the ground and the glass cracked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you…or maybe I did." The woman's friendly tone suddenly turned to ice.

Seto turned to face her. His expression caught her off guard. She had never seen Seto Kaiba so vulnerable before, he looked as if he was about to cry.

"Serenity…"

Serenity Wheeler watched him warily. His vulnerable expression suddenly vanished and he regarded her with a nod. "I assume you're here because of your brother."

Serenity snapped out of her surprise and crossed her arms. "Yes…was it necessary for you to throw scalding hot coffee in his face?"

Seto snorted. "Was it necessary for him to beat up on a harmless kid?"

Serenity frowned. "What?"

Seto stepped closer to her. "Oh, did he leave that little detail out? Come on, now, Serenity…you're supposed to be a counselor. You took psychology classes. Shouldn't you be able to recognize a lying dog when you see one?"

Serenity tapped her foot impatiently. "No, but I do recognize a person that has serious problems. Why do you hate my brother so much?"

Seto laughed and pulled himself onto the piano again. He laid down on it and looked up at the ceiling. "I suppose it's because my father never loved me enough, and my mother was never around…that's what the problem always is, right? Something wrong with the childhood?"

Serenity sighed in exasperation. "You're impossible." She turned to leave.

"My little brother was bullied by bastards like your brother."

Serenity froze. "I'm sorry, I really am…"

"And the worst part is that Yugi reminds me of Mokuba. Yugi is as small, innocent and defenseless as my little brother…but he doesn't have a big brother to protect him. Someone had to do something, Serenity! Forgive me for wanting to help the kid!"

Serenity looked at him over her shoulder. "You might not want to hear this, but you'd be surprise just how alike you and Joey are."

Seto sat up and laughed. "Don't insult me."

Serenity turned to face him entirely. "I mean it! One day you'll see it, I promise you."

Seto jumped off of the piano and glared at her. "Oh yes…when hell freezes over."

He rushed by her, his shoulder briefly coming into contact with hers as he left the room. When she was alone, she walked up to the wall of pictures.

Group pictures of Glee Club over the years resided on the wall. Three of the pictures held Seto Kaiba himself, happier than Serenity had ever seen him. She smiled fondly at the sight and ran her fingers over the glass of one of the photos. She glanced down at her feet where Seto had dropped the other picture. She knelt next to it and picked it up. She scanned the photo for Seto's face, but when she found it, she wished she had just left it alone.

Seto's eyes were bloodshot as if he had been crying. No trace of the happy boy from the other pictures remained. The crack obscured the top of his head and the woman standing behind him. The woman seemed to be placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Serenity sighed as she traced the crack with her forefinger. "What happened to you, Seto?"

Song: "Back to You" by John Mayer

A/N: He's singing the song to music itself, not really a person. I just thought I'd make that known.

I hope you like the chapter! Reviews are appreciated :).
