Return of closed feelings
Chapter 1:
Seto Kaiba was sitting in front of his computer at home and was working as usually.
He typed wildly on his keyboard with his eyes fixed on the screen.
His mood wasn't good. Since this incident in Egypt he had to do much more work because he hadn't done anything for a few days.
Also his hopes that with the Pharaoh gone his life would go back to normal, had been crushed.
Seto stopped briefly as he remembered the day one week before:
'Yugi, let's face it. If you truly are the King of Games than you should be able to beat me in a duel without the help of your friend.' Seto didn't dare to say Pharaoh out loud especially as he wasn't really sure if that nightmare had been true after all. Or let's say he didn't want to believe it even after seeing Yugi dueling himself.
'I won't lose to you, Kaiba.' Yugi shot back and the two started their duel disks.
Gratefully for Kaiba the rest of dweeb patrol wasn't there but nevertheless he was curious.
'Where are your cheerleaders? I thought they never miss one of your duels?'
'I told them not to come. I thought you might want a private duel.' Yugi told him and Seto raised an eyebrow.
As grateful as he was the young CEO was still surprised.
'Then let's go on.' He finally said and the duel began.
It took them quite some time and Seto got the upper hand by summoning Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
But then Yugi played his Defusion to split it back in three. Seto didn't get what he was trying to do until Yugi summoned his Black Paladin.
It was nearly the same as back in Battle City, he also played his Magic Card Wave of Confusion and won the duel.
Back in time Seto shook his head. He didn't want to think about that again, he had already looked through that duel already.
Just as he went on with his work there was a knock on the door and Mokuba peered in.
'Seto, dinner is ready.'
'Tell the stuff to bring it up. I'll eat it later.'
'But it'll get cold.'
Seto sighed. 'Not now, Mokuba. I'm busy right now, you know. Tell them to bring it up. By the way I can find something to eat when I'm hungry.'
He turned his gaze back to the screen in front of him ignoring his little brother who was still standing in the doorway.
'Fine.' The boy with the long black hair agreed and closed the door behind him.
No five minutes later a maid brought Seto his dinner. He just waved at her so that she put it on the nearby table and went out again.
More than three hours later the young CEO leaned back in his chair and looked again at his work.
He had done enough for a day. As he looked at the clock he realized it was 1 a.m. No wonder he felt tired but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep.
He hadn't really slept the whole week since his last loss against Yugi.
He finally had to accept that he wasn't able to surpass him. No, he would do it one day but now was not the time to think about that.
He closed the files for work and opened another.
Ever since Battle City he had had a closer look on every duelist out there. Since every sold duel disk had to be registered and as his satellites recorded every duel that was played with them, Seto was able to make a list with defined data of each duelist in the world.
But what caught his interest the most were the new duelists. Every night before he went to bed – and tried to sleep – he looked through the list of new players.
A few days ago, when he was again held awake by a disturbing nightmare, an idea had formed in his head.
He may be the only capable of beating Yugi but he did acknowledge good duelists. And if those players got refined training they would be able to get pro sometime. But that was just a mere idea, there were other things that mattered more for now.
Nevertheless he scanned the new list to find out that it was being updated. Somewhere on the globe was a duel going on, a duel between two yet unregistered duel disks.
Seto finally decided to wait. He stood up from his chair and went towards his now cold meal.
It was undeniable so he left his room and went down into the kitchen. He took his time to cook himself coffee, not that caffeine was enough to make him stay awake.
In fact it was the other way round. He thought it was easier for him to find a bit sleep when he drank enough of the hot liquid.
With his hot cup of coffee he went back to his computer. Sipping he sat down again and looked at the monitor. The duel was over and now he could finally see the outcome. It had been a duel in South America, there should be about evening now.
The winner was a girl, from her file she was the same age as him, 20. He looked closer on her dates, when he saw, that she hadn't lost one single point in the duel and won in four turns.
Finally he found her name and nearly swallowed his coffee.
Everything around him spun as the words next to her picture of a girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes seemed to laugh at him.
He had to talk to Yugi. Immediately.
But then he remembered that it was in the middle of the night, so he had to wait a few more hours. Sleep was not an option anymore.
Again he looked at the screen before him, not believing his eyes.
He had just found a girl named Catherine Muto.
