Easy to Catch On
By: BlueSoulKLH64 (Katara12)
A Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction
Genre: Romance (defiantly) and a little humor/general/songfic
Rated: R (see below)
A/N: the high rating is because of swearing, violence, and very mature scenes. And when I say very mature, I mean LEMONS. If you don't like to read that stuff, then exit out of this story right now. If you think that this stuff is freaking awesome, then I welcome you to my shrine!
: This isn't just a Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction, it also has Rurouni Kenshin and technically Avatar, but only technically.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters. Heck, I don't even own all of the made up ones! Same goes for Rurouni Kenshin.
Summary: The Unknown Ishtar, that's what I call her. Hailey Ishtar is a new girl at Domino High, and she experiences normal things… along with some not quite so normal. The one who helps her through some of these scenes… the one and only Seto Kaiba! Let's take a look…
Prologue
"So, why did you move to Domino? I mean; you definitely are not Japanese, no offense. You look Egyptian. So why here?" Tea was questioning the new girl.
"My mother died when my little brother, Marik, was born. Well, Marik didn't want to be tomb keeper, which when he turned 13 last January, he was forced to do. So he took one of the millennium items, the rod, and killed my father with it. Then my sister, Ishizu, took the necklace of the pharaoh to keep my brother from harming any other people. Since our parents were dead, Ishizu saw no reason to stay in Cairo, so we moved here."
"Wow, Hailey, I'm sorry, I had no idea. So do you live in an orphanage or something?"
"No, Ishizu is 22, so she supports us. She actually has a really good job." Hailey started to explain, but then realized that it was no use. Tea was nice, but hadn't been through what she had. And even though Tea looked like she was interested in what Hailey had to say, she just wouldn't understand. Hailey changed the subject. "So I was home schooled since now, I really don't have much experience with boys. Can you point out a few easy ones?"
Tea smiled. "A little keen for a boyfriend, are we? Well, there is Yugi, but he's off limits. He's mine." She swooned her hands to her heart. "It'll be four months next week. And then there are Joey and Tristan, but if you hang with me, you'll probably find you don't want them. They're good friends and all, but you know, just that, not in a romantic kind of way. Besides, Joey is going out with someone from duelist kingdom he met, and Tristan is almost in love with Joey's sister."
"What about those two?" Hailey pointed at a black-haired boy and the white-haired one right next to him.
"Them? That's Duke and Bakura. Duke has millions of girls after him, and Bakura is just…weird."
Hailey looked around the room, and saw only two other boys that even looked a little cute. She knew one of them, Zach Fromm. He was from England, and visited Cairo with the queen a few years back. "Who's the one sitting by himself with the laptop?"
Tea's smile fell. "That's the one and only Seto Kaiba. He's the smartest kid in our class. I wouldn't go for him, he just doesn't know how to react to emotions." She grimaced and then turned to the door where arguing could be heard.
"It's a balmy ninety-two degrees outside, if I were you, I'd be wearing shorts and…"
Hailey woke up to her alarm, her dream shattered. Once again, she was dreaming of her first day at DHS. It was weird to dream of something that had already happened, it was like reality repeating itself.
She got ready for school by putting on her uniform and brushing her hair. It was a dark, dark brown, but dead straight. She had it down to her waist, but Zach had encouraged her to get it cut, so now it was to her shoulder bone.
She grabbed a banana and went off to school, saying good-bye to Ishizu and waking up Marik. He was only in ninth grade, so he got to sleep in 30 more minutes.
She was trying to get there early because Zach had asked her to. They had been going out for a year and a half, and she thought he was going to do something special for her. He was waiting for her on the brick wall bordering the school.
"Hey, what's up?" she asked because he had a look of concern on her face.
"Umm, hi, Hailey. I'm glad that you could meet me here." He sighed and held up a letter. "I got this in the mail. It's a letter from the queen. She wants me to come with her later this month to Germany to get an alliance with them."
"Well, that's great! Congratulations!" she hugged her boyfriend, noticing that he went stiff when she did. "What's wrong? I just congratulated you, and you stiffened up."
He jumped off the wall, and looked back at her, shifting on his feet. "You see; she wants me to move back there. So I won't be going back to school anymore, not even today."
Hailey saw where this was going. "But, what'll happen to… us?"
Zach grimaced. It was obvious he didn't want to say it. "Well, I don't think we should see each other anymore." And with that said he left.
Hailey slid off the wall to face the school in shock. He dumped me? Just to go to England? He dumped me?
She sat there for thirty minutes. She saw many people go in the school, or just stay in the front and talk with their friends. She saw Tea and Yugi walk by, holding hands. Then came Joey and Tristan fighting as per usual. They tried to get Hailey to come with them, but she wouldn't move. They went in without her, figuring that she'd come in her own time
The bell was about to ring, and Hailey had no intentions to go into the school. She was about to go up and leave back to home, but then she heard a car come up, and a door opening and closing. Then she saw Seto Kaiba walk through the entrance and walk up to the door. He was almost to the stairs when he turned around because he noticed that he was being watched. He saw Hailey just sitting there, not paying attention to the fact that she was staring straight at him, or that she was going to be tardy.
He sighed, and walked back to her. "Ishtar, the bell's about to ring, why are you still out here?"
She just mumbled "Kaiba." And some other things, but Kaiba couldn't understand them. Her head was bowed and her hair was falling in her face.
He rolled his eyes at her and picked her up at the scruff of her collar. "You're not skipping class, even if you are in a bad mood." He was pushing her towards the door. "Don't get used to these favors. I don't give them often, or to just anyone at that." He pushed her into the classroom with him right behind her and a few seconds later the bell rang. Before he put her in her seat, he pulled her close to him so only she could hear what he was going to say. "Get over whatever is bugging you. And remember, don't get used to the favor."
When she sat down, she immediately felt a little better. She smiled for the first time since she was at school. And she had Kaiba to thank for that.
After class, she caught up with Kaiba. "I want to say thanks for helping me. I needed it didn't I?"
Kaiba smirked. "Only a bit more then you do now. Just don't think much of it, ok?"
Then Hailey remembered that Kaiba was just that, All Mighty Kaiba. Smartest kid in the class, CEO of his own company, life was just a breeze for him. She rolled her eyes. "Ya, the fact that you decided to be nice instead of your usual irritable self. Don't worry, Kaiba, I won't let it faze me." With that said, she left him to go to her next class.
Hey! How's the first chapter? Are you confused? Here, let me help:
Hailey Ishtar is a made up character. She's actually a fellow author's 'alter ego' if you will. And then there's Zach Fromm, another made-up character. He's was a diplomat for the Queen of England, and now he's going to be again, thus making him break up with Hailey. If you don't like stories with made up characters, I'm sorry, because this one has a few more. I personally think you should read it because it has a good plot line, but to each their own, right?
So did you like it? Please give me a review and I'll see what I can do about the next chapter!
