A/N; this is just a way of relaxing from stressful times but will most likely update more often if it gains traction. I have only seen the English sub anime so will mainly be basing it off of that.
Also in my story I'm assuming that the education system in Japan is much like Americas but I may still make mistakes as I am English, I will also mess up with some names as I am using a name generator as I know practically nothing about Japan and its culture
Finally in this story Seto, Yugi and the gang will be 18 and Mokuba will be 14, just so my scenario can work out
So let us begin
Disclaimer; don't own Yu-gi-oh plus took the cover image off Google don't own it either
Chapter 1
As Seto looked out of his office window he couldn't help but think of those times when his step-father was around; the endless nights of business training and the bruises caused by the ill tempered man and his enforcer Hobson, the old man's butler.
With another heavy sigh he thought of the short bald man that tormented him ensuring that Gozabura's instructions and lessons were being followed to the letter. He could still feel the man's cane hit his knuckles when he slacked, in the beginning Seto would have given the employee a snide remark about his appearance or his lack of purpose in life but that just resulted in a threatening remark aimed at Mokuba.
He quickly quieted down after that, letting Mokuba get hurt was something that Seto would always prevent no matter what, from the bullies at the orphanage to the horrid little man and his employer.
The day he got his revenge was the hardest day of his life; he had to lie to Mokuba. He could still see the hurt in his little brothers eyes when he said what he did. The hurt that he had tried so hard to keep from his brother came directly by him. That day he took over and began the start of his new life for both him and his younger brother; he remodelled Kaiba Corp. Tearing down anything to do with the military and started up in the gaming industry. The hard work that he had put into making Kaiba corp. the biggest gaming company in the world was all for his little brother to ensure that he got everything the young soul deserved in life.
When the young CEO came out of his memories it was dark outside. He had to get back to the manor shortly. Tomorrow was a day he was defiantly not looking forward to the first day of school. Granted it was his finally year of education and he should be happy that it was coming to an end and he was but school was meant to prepare you for the real world, a world that Seto had been living in for years now.
But more importantly Mokuba would be starting at the high school, being of age. This filled the young man with dread, knowing that he would have to keep an eye on him with the tendencies his brother had of getting easily distracted. Not wanting for his brother's education to slip up, Seto knew that the year was going to be difficult. But something else bothered him; this day would mean that he would have to face the dweep patrol for the first time since the little incident in Egypt. A day he was trying to move on from.
Through all the journeys that he had to endure from Yugi and his gang, he could only now emit that there was power in the world that could not be explained. But what bothered him the most was his incarnation's infatuation with a peasent woman with blue eyes and white hair.
This woman had been plaguing him for the weeks of summer break since Egypt. So much so that he hadn't even looked at his duel monsters deck since his return to domino city. Her face was everywhere even in his dreams. So much so that in hopes of forgetting her he had thrown himself into his work. Staying till late and leaving early in the morning, working his way through files and reports that needed completing.
This was the real reason as to the work effort he was putting into his corporation, not the lame excuse he had made up to stop his brother from asking too many questions. But lucky for him his brother believed what he told him, that the reason he was working was to ensure that the business could keep running whilst he was in that Hell Hole, but he could always work during those 'lessons' if the matter was urgent or more likely the teaching was beneath him.
Over the years the teachers had learnt to let him be during this time, and not to question him if he suddenly loaded up his laptop half-way through a presentation or lecture. One teacher had made that mistake but she was some ignorant supply teacher.
The idiot didn't know who he was and much to everyone's surprise didn't believe him once explained to her. It was only when she had called the office to send formal notification that a student was being given an after school detention, had the principle personal come down to apologise to him. Seto had only acknowledged him and went back to the stock prices he was looking into at the time. It was later explained to the woman that he had given a rather generous donation when the school was in desperate need of support, and had carried on giving a large sums of money to the school whenever he had seemed that something had needed to change; a new structured timetable, a new set of computers, improved labs etcetera. Meaning that he had gained a considerably influence over the school.
So Seto had gone to the principle at the end of the day and had ensured that the ignorant teacher would never work in this school again. Most people believed that it was the attitude of a stuck up jerk but no, what it really was, was that he wanted the best education for his younger brother and he knew that the young kaiba would be coming to this school in due time. But he had kept that quiet so the stern cold-hearted business facade would not break, so possible business deals were not damaged by the knowledge that he had a weakness.
Before he knew it Seto had reached the company garage, located in the basement of the building, where his private limo was waiting for him. As he climbed into the back and ordered the driver to take him home, he reflected over how he had spent the last couple of weeks.
He had barely seen his brother over the last few weeks due to his work ethic and her. He had seen his brother but not spoken to him properly, only seeing the young teen when he came home after work to find him collapsed on the sofa from trying to stay up for him. Causing his brother to carry him up the stairs to bed but as he thought about it he realised that had happened for almost every day throughout the duration of the break.
As he looked out of the window he saw that he was home. The driver pulled up and bid him a good night. As Seto got out of the car he acknowledged the driver with a curt nod and made his way to the front door, fully prepared to see his brother on the sofa. But as he entered the living area he saw no signs of him, so he made his way upstairs to Mokuba's room. He smiled as he saw his brother sprayed out over his bed like road-kill and made his way over and gently coaxed him to a more comfortable position and tucked him in.
With that he made his way over to his own room, vowing to himself to make an effort in the morning to converse with his brother and catch up about the holidays over breakfast. In the past they didn't get to eat breakfast together due to the fact that their schools had started at different times. But now with them both going to the same building for education, they finally had a chance to chat in the mornings. With that he got ready for bed and decided to embrace what awaited for him, the blue-eyed maiden that he would never see again.
The next day at Kaiba Manor
There was a shrill alarm ringing through the bedroom, but the 18-year old was used to it and got up to turn it off. He had set the alarm to go off earlier than needed so he could surprise his brother. He got dressed and went down the stairs normally, in the past Gozaburu would have had a chef to make every meal for him and servants to help with the house work but Seto hated how Gozaburu treated the help they had. So when he drove the old tyrant out he changed things around the mansion.
The chef only had to come in when needed but still had a steady pay check with the Kaibas, this was to ensure that he kept his mouth shut about the brother's upbringing. It was the same with the servants, they came in once maybe twice a week to tidy and keep the house in good condition. He had hired a head of staff, to organise the rotas for the entire staff from the maids to the groundskeeper. The head of staff was a feisty woman who knew the Kaibas wishes and knew what they were looking for in staff. If they ever needed replacements for any sort of reason from retirement to a particular gossip.
So Seto wasn't exactly surprised that morning when he was greeted by only a couple of maids cleaning the house, they gave him a cheery good morning which he responded with a stern response. The maids weren't expecting anything else but knew that it was because of Seto that they still had well paid jobs. As he entered the kitchen he saw that the help had already cleaned this room expecting the room to go unused in the early hours. They hadn't considered what the young man had planned for that day, Seto almost felt badly for what he was about to do.
30mins later
"Is that Bacon I can smell" a voice from behind him said, he turned and saw his younger brother standing there in his new uniform, blue pants and jacket with a plain white shirt.
"Maybe" was the response Seto gave to his eager brother.
"Why?" Mokuba asked
"Well we haven't really spoken much over the last few weeks and thought we could catch up before school" he told him. Mokuba smiled fondly and thought why this can't be Setos public image, and not the jerk he makes himself out to be.
"That's great big brother" said Mokuba excitedly "where do I begin? Oh I know Rebecca's joining us at Domino high!"
"Rebecca?" enquired Seto
"Come on Seto you can't tell me you forgot her she was amazing duellist she even battled in the Grand Championship at Kaiba land". That sparked the CEO's mind to the time when Von Schroeder almost crippled his company.
"Ah yes" he said remembering "she was a fine duellist" and with that comment Mokuba stated ranting on about how great his summer was and how he looked forwards to the new year with his friends.
Mokuba still hadn't stopped talking when there driver called to tell them that their limo was here. Mokuba was the first out the door eager to start at the new school; Seto followed grabbing his metal briefcase on the way out. As they got into the limo Mokuba started up the conversation again.
"Will you speak to Yugi and his friends?" asked Mokuba cautiously
"No" Seto said sternly
"It's just..." started Mokuba
"Mokuba" scowled Seto silencing the young Kaiba; they sat in silence until they pulled up outside of the high school.
"Have a nice day Sirs" stated their driver, Shozo.
"Thank you, Shozo" replied Mokuba back to his friendly self, whilst the older Kaiba only responded with his usual response of a curt nod in the driver's direction. Mokuba rolled his eyes at his brother but understood the reputation that he had to up hold outside of Kaiba manor.
With the interaction over the Kaibas headed into the direction of the school, not realising what the school year had in tale for them.
A/N; there you go chapter 1 done chap 2 will probably be up quite soon after this goes live
I would also like to apologise for the jumpiness of my story telling I hope for that to die down it is just while I'm trying to create a bit of back-story for my characters.
Hope you guys like this enough to post a review, see you next time.
