Year of the Dragon

By Ash Kaiba

DISCLAIMER!!! Seto Kaiba or the "geek squad" don't belong to me. Takahashi-sensei owns them.

I know I should be working on the other fics I haven't completed, but I really had the inspiration to start this. This is story is Seto KaibaXKisara! Enjoy!

Prologue

"Still, Hatori should have contacted us," a voice resounded from the darkness.

In the light of the campfire, a trio of old men glowed. Their wrinkled skin reflected their age and wisdom. Robes draped over their dying frames. Slits of yellow glowed in light. Dull strands of hair vanished into the darkness.

"Hatori is one of the last of his kind. We must protect him at all costs." Another whispered.

"Yes, we must."

His eyes snapped open. A brunette scanned his room. Realizing it was a dream, he collapsed back into his lovely soft mattress. Vibrant blue eyes stared up at his ceiling. The giant window blocked the upcoming fall breeze. His alarm was set to go off in the next couple hours. Sweat slowly slid into his hair. He flung himself to his side, dragging one of his pillows with him. The white pillow cover tickled his skin.

Where did those men come from? It felt like it was actually happening in my room. Forget about it. It was just a dream. Like I could make out anything they said. He growled as he closed his eyes, welcoming sleep back into his mind.

The ear grating beeping continued. The brunette raised his fair skin hand to turn it off. But, smacked it on the night stand instead. The teen hissed as he pulled his pillow over his head, mentally cursing. He squinted his eyes, attempting to block the sunlight. His body dove deeper into the covers. Finally, darkness returned to him.

"NI-SAN!!"

Surprise took him. The brunette jumped, taking the sheets with him. Blue fabric landed softly back on the mattress. He slid down his bed post. A boy with raven hair looked at him like he was crazy. Then shook his head as his hair followed the motion.

"You slept through the alarm, Seto…" He sighed as the elder unwrapped himself from the dark wood.

Seto Kaiba looked at him; then at the clock. "So I did."

Violet eyes stared at him. "Are you feeling okay, nii-sama?"

"I'm fine, Mokuba. You don't need to worry yourself." He whispered as his little brother reached out.

Seto released a small hiss of shock. The tiny tan hand pressed itself against his forehead. Seto dreamed of the coolness until…

"You have a slight fever, nii-sama. Did you work all night again?"

"No, you hid all my paper work," he growled as a toothy grin grew on the boy's mouth. "Fine. I'll be ready in 15 minutes tops."

"'Kay!" The boy yelled, closing the door behind him.

Crazy dream…

"I heard about the new kid. Kind of quiet."

"Yeah. I hope it's a hot guy."

"Hey! More women!"

"SHUT UP, WHEELER!"

A grin grew on his face. The blonde made his usual sound as he sank back into his seat. The group behind him remained quiet. Seto Kaiba shook his head while he turned the page of his Dragonlace book. The sapphire eyes glowed in a beautiful radiance, one that could kill if anyone looked at him. But, thought better of continuing as the teacher walked in. Behind him, a young woman followed.

"Class, this is Kisara Neero. She is our new transfer student."

"Good morning, Kisara." The class (minus two) replied.

Seto stared. This new girl was staring at him. Normally, he'd look away in an instant, but the new girl held him there. He could feel the blood drain from his face. As she moved to her desk by Yugi, he remained staring forward until a wad of paper struck him in the head. His ice eyes glared at the mutt, desiring for heaven to freeze over. Joey giggled, cringed, and left him alone.
