Hello everyone! I was looking through my notebook that contains my fanfiction ideas (you should do that as well! It's a great way to keep track of all your awesome ff ideas) and saw this story. I was like, 'why not?'

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh!, Prideshipping, Thiefshipping, etc. would be canon. Also, I'd pair Tea with Shizuka or Mai because of how cute it would be.

Enjoy~


"So who is this guy again?"

"Yoshito Sennen, and his sons' names are Yami, Atemu, and Yugi."

Seto let out an annoyed sigh. His father had insisted that he be introduced to this man's sons. Like he cared. But if was going to be the CEO of KaibaCorp, he was going to have to meet his future partners, according to his father.

Two servants quickly opened the doors to the conference room, which was incredibly large with vaulted ceilings and many chairs. Seto eyed the sight, confused at the amount of chairs that had been set out.

It was only the two families, right?

"Kaiba."

"Sennen."

Both men greeted each other casually, shaking hands and giving each other slight smiles. Then Yoshito noticed Seto, and with a big smile, made his way over to the young man.

"You must be Seto, Yoshito's eldest son."

Seto nodded his head and silently cursed, wishing with all of his heart this would be over within an hour. He had no desire to meet anyone, or have any kind of business conversation.

"These are my eldest sons, Yami and Atemu." Yoshito gestured to two boys around Seto's age.

One had a darker complexion, and his hair seemed of a lighter shade than the others'. His eyes were a deep ruby. The other one had pale skin, with deep maroon hair and crimson eyes, though they weren't as deep as a hue as his brothers'.

"Yugi decided to stay in the hotel room as he has a cold." The man continued, referring to his youngest son.

Both men nodded and got down to business, leaving behind their children in order to have privacy at the other end of the room. When both Sennen boys turned towards Seto, the latter instantly attempted to leave.

"Wait." The paler one said, gesturing with his hand for Seto to sit back down.

The brunette sneered, "Why?"

Both looked slightly surprised at the haughty response, though Seto regretted nothing. At least, he told himself he didn't.

"Because I'd like to speak with you." The pale one spoke again, this time almost hesitantly.

This surprised Seto greatly. It was a very bold statement, despite the hesitance it was spoken with. In spite of his attitude, Seto sighed and repositioned himself back into the chair.

"I'm Yami, and that's Atemu." He informed Seto, eyes looking straight into Kaiba's own blue optics. He didn't bother asking Seto for his own name; his father had already told him.

"Wonderful." Seto snorted, placing his arm onto the table so he could rest his chin on it.

Yami rolled his eyes, "Maybe a walk would be more ideal?"

Seto shrugged, then quickly caught himself by glaring and crossing his arms. Why was he acting so casual around this person, when they'd literally just met?! Normally, one would say 'love'.

But Seto refused to even think he'd fallen in love with someone. Though he had to admit, Yami was quite the looker.

Wait, had he seriously just thought that?!

"Well?" Yami's voice broke his thoughts. The pale-skinned youth was tapping his hand against the table in a 'I'm waiting' manner. His brother had already left, saying something about 'visiting Yugi'.

"Fine." Seto's heart spoke instead of his mind. He wanted to be around this young man; his heart yearned for it. But his mind was disagreeing, saying Seto couldn't afford to fall in love.

Yami stood up from his chair and quickly pushed it back into its place. Seto did the same and watched the spiky-haired business prodigy walk towards the exit. Sighing, Seto made his way over to the back door as well.

"Where are you two going?" Both fathers asked at once, obviously intending to summon bodyguards after the answer was given.

"Just for a walk." Yami replied simply, offering a slight smile.

But this did not quench both parent's fears. They were very, very successful business men. And many shady businesses had made offers, and of course, had been rejected.

This could easily lead to assassination or kidnapping.

"Take one of my men with you, please." Yoshito pleaded, pressing a button that would alert the bodyguards and get them to the convention room.

When the men arrived, Yoshito decided to cut his son along with the other youth some slack by only getting 4 bodyguards. If that seemed like a lot, it wasn't, considering both father's protective nature.

Gozoburo (Seto's father) nodded in approval at Yoshito's choice of men.

Both Yami and Kaiba looked at each other, both of them reluctant to have even one of the guards go with them.

Many envied the rich life, but it wasn't so great in reality. There was no such thing as privacy, thanks to the bodyguards. There wasn't one moment when some sort of tall and burly man wasn't watching them.


As they began their walk, Seto noticed that the bodyguard following them (the other 3 had secured the nearby area) kept glancing at Yami. The brunette also noticed that it wasn't one of his father's guards, so it must've been Yoshito's.

"Sennen."

"You can call me Yami, you know."

Seto rolled his eyes before becoming serious again. "Do you know that man behind us?" He nodded his head in the man's direction.

Yami carefully glanced backwards, then shook his head. "I've never seen him before. Why?"

The brunette didn't answer the question, but simply continued walking. Yami eyed him, confused, but said nothing. All of a sudden, Seto heard the sounds of struggling and fighting.

Quickly turning around, he saw the bodyguard from earlier clutching a still struggling Yami against his chest. To say the youth was weak would've been a lie, but against such a strong man, he was just as weak as a child.

Seto opened his mouth, presumably to yell, but the false bodyguard noticed this and quickly pressed a knife against Yami's throat, forcing the latter to stop struggling.

"One yell and he dies." The man threatened, digging the tip of the knife into Yami's neck, forming a red line as beads of red dripped from the cut.

Seto growled at the action the man had just committed, but nodded his head. He was thankful the man was more focused on Yami, because then he had a chance of getting help.

Carefully, Seto's hand reached for the button. Then it stopped short.

If the false bodyguard had responded when Yoshito had called his bodyguards into the room, this must mean he had the device that alerted bodyguards. So if Seto pressed the button, it would mean death for both of them.

Or would it?

"You think you can scare me by some silly death threat?" Seto scoffed, examining his fingernails nonchalantly.

Yami's eyes widened, but he kept his mouth shut, settling for watching the brunette in front of him intently.

The man laughed, "Of course."

Seto raised an eyebrow at the simple, and in his mind, stupid, reply. Then the brunette himself laughed, earning both Yami's and the false bodyguard's full attention.

"You say that, but if you killed Yami, you'd have failed." Seto looked up past his brown bangs with a smile on his face. "Your boss obviously wanted a direct kidnapping. Other than that, you would've killed him by now. So he obviously wants Yami alive."

The blue-eyed youth's smile increased when he saw the man's panicked face. Not only had he hit home, but this guy was obviously a novice at this, which meant there was a larger chance of escape.

An expert would've no doubt kept his cool and either threatened Seto himself or just threaten that he'd hurt Yami extensively. But thankfully, the novice seemed to be far to nervous to think of this.

"I've still got the upper hand." The man spoke finally, having recollected his emotions.

Seto raised an eyebrow, a silent, 'how so?'.

"Even though what you say is true, that still doesn't mean I can't hurt this kid." To emphasize this, he pressed the knife against Yami's slender neck once more, earning a wince from the latter.

"And you seem kind of..." The man gave a false smile, "attached to him."

Before Seto or Yami could speak up, the 'bodyguard' continued.

"I've been a spy in this place for awhile now, and I've noticed something. You're cold; you shut people out, excluding your little brother. But, with this boy, you immediately went out for a walk with him, despite the fact that you didn't know him well. That, my boy, is attachment. Or is it something a bit higher than that?"

Seto opened his mouth, but couldn't find his voice. He quickly glanced at Yami, who looked both stunned and-wait, was that a spark of happiness Seto saw in those ruby red eyes? It was, indeed. But why was he happy?

"It's simple. If he's going to be my future business partner I've got to know him." Seto lied, though a part of him thought this was the real answer, while the other knew it wasn't.

A pang of guilt shot throw Seto's heart when he saw a look of sadness appear in Yami's eyes.

The man shook his head and laughed. "Your father has gotten many a business partner, and you've met all of them. But you still declined any attention from them."

The future CEO gritted his teeth. This man was not only annoying, but also very, very right, as much as Seto didn't want to admit it. He hadn't shown any kind of emotion (other than anger) towards his father's other business partner's sons or daughters.

Only Yami had gained some kind of reaction from him.

Sounds of talking broke the short but heavy silence. The voices were deep, male...so it was their fathers. This sent waves of hope threw both boys' hearts. But it was short-lived when the false bodyguard began making his escape, with Yami of course.

Much to Yami's surprise, Seto ran after them, yelling curse words and instructing the man to stop. The brunette knew it wouldn't work, but there wasn't any reason why he shouldn't try.

But he was too slow.

They were gone.


This isn't really a first chapter, it's more like an introduction to the story.

Q&A:

Is the 'boss' who instructed the false bodyguard to kidnap Yami an OC, or will he be an actual person from YGO?

Answer: I'm sure many of you can guess or have a good idea on who it is. But I will say, it is not an OC. They're from YGO.

Will Seto be kidnapped too?

Answer: Yes, later in the story, so that way by the time he is kidnapped, he would've already realized and accepted that he has feelings for Yami.

Why are you calling Kaiba by his first name?

It would be out of place. If they just met, they'd no doubt use their first names.

So there you have it. You don't have to review if you don't want to, though reviews are very appreciated. However, I don't bother with flames/hate reviews. I'll just ignore you, so no reason to type out a lengthy boring comment about how much I suck.

R&R!
