Dislaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh and everything related belongs 100% to Mr. Kazuki Takahashi.

Introduction

"Kaiba, please," the voice begged on the other side.

"Look," the cold voice replied. "I don't understand what you want me to do. Call back my own sales just so you can make some money and get yours?" He sneered. "Look Zyvar, business is about using your wits and standing your own, and if you can't do that much then you might as well quit your company and sell it to someone pathetic enough to buy it and settle down," Kaiba drawled. He closed the line. "Foolish idiot," he muttered. "Expecting me to stop production of my ingenious holographic and virtual inventions because he can't make something better." He gave a laugh at the idiocy of the man.

------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other end, the man known as Zyvar hit his head repeatedly against his desk, long purple mane mussing in the process. This is all my father's fault, he thought selfishly. If he didn't get in that stupid car crash and landed in a coma, then I wouldn't be here. No, I'd be at home soaking in a nice, hot bath. The man was in his twenties, still uneducated -a high school dropout and 100% spoiled brat. Why did his father leave the company to him? He thought miserably. I know. He's always wanted to ruin my life. A picture of the man in question appearing in Zyvar's mind, and he glared furiously at it. He'd never prosper in this business. He didn't have the wits, intelligence nor did he have the stamina. There's gotta be an easier way. Self-pitying thoughts were all that entered Villence Zyvar's mind. All the while, he was unaware of a darkness that was slowly overshadowing his mind... tendrils of it seeping into the deepest corners.... He screamed out maniacally in rage.

Villence Zevar began typing on his laptop. Not in the admirable furious typing where the person would watch the screen as their hands moved of their own accord. It was the I'm-a-high-school-dropout method that only the saddest who had rarely used a keyboard in this time and age used, using only their two index fingers, typing slowly – only about 10 or so letters a minute, and in his rage Villence kept making mistakes. His classmates had always laughed at his stupidity, his associates and even his workers. He wished he could just make them SHUT UP. If only he could control the world. If only he could make everyone bow down to him in fear. Then they'd never think of laughing at him. He wouldn't even have to worry about making money. A twisted smile entered Villence's features, making him look more deranged than ever. In an odd way, he actually could pass for handsome in the strange luminescent light. The psychotic smile complimented his black eyes -that appeared to be ginormous pupils with no color in the retina- which slanted outward on either side along with his sharp nose that jutted out and came back in at a 90 degree angle. The eerie light seemed to make his face glow – a strange, greenish glow, all in all completing the effect.

He knew what he was going to do. He picked up the phone, grinning like a lunatic, and began dialing.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi and his friends were sitting around a round table at DonutWorld. They were laughing, and smiling as always, though most of Yugi's smiles were forced. How he missed the Pharaoh and their mind chatter. The inside jokes they'd share. The loneliness that had vanished as soon as he had put the Millenium Puzzle together. It had hurt him to defeat the Pharaoh. But he knew that it was best for his friend, and so in one way, was strangely content.

Tea looked at Yugi, sensing his feelings. She took his hand in her own. "Don't worry about it Yugi," she said, a sad smile on her face. "We all miss him, but we'll get through it together, like always." Her voice was shaky but her words were sincere.

The next to speak was Joey. "Yeah Yug. Ya know we'll always be wit' ya."

"Put her there!" Tristan exclaimed, sticking his hand out in the middle of the table. Tea's was the next to go on, followed by Joey. Yugi followed shakily. "Th-thanks guys, you know I wouldn't be able to do this without you," he smiled up at his friends.

"You know," Tea said smiling. "I'm going to miss all the adventures we had with the Pharaoh and you."

"Waddya talkin' 'bout Te [pronounced Tay]," Joey said, putting an arm around Yugi. "Adventure'll always find our [though it sounded more like "ow"] Yug."

Tristan piped in. "I think I'll even miss Mr. Rich Guy," Tristan said jokingly and the three laughed … Yugi was silent throughout the friendly joke about Seto Kaiba. He considered Kaiba to be one of his closest friends, no matter how much the guy would deny it. They'd been through thick and thin together and had always saved each other's butts – whether it be 5 millenia ago or in this decade. He wondered what Kaiba would do now that he'd decided to stick with his company and take a break from Duel Monsters.

Well that was just the intro! I've introduced the main characters -most of them at least *smirks knowingly*

I hope you guys like it... I've got a feeling this one will be action packed! (Get it? 'I've Got A Feeling'? 'Cause there's a song called that from the Black Eyed Peas? *Teehee, laughs at her own joke* )

Kaiba: 'Oh just give it up already, you're NOT funny. '

MNA: 'Hmph, well what would you know about that seeing as how you've never laughed a day in your life. '

Kaiba: Grumbles and goes back to working on laptop.

MNA: Runs up and hugs Kaiba. 'Just kidding. You know I love you!'

Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter! There might even be a Seto X ? in it later on... *Goes off to plot*
