Ch. 1: The Birthday

Kaiba took a look at all of his birthday gifts. He hated them all, except the ones from Mokuba.

He thought: 'Why did I get gifts From Yugi and his reject friends anyway? Oh well.'

As he rummaged through his gifts one last time, one thing caught his eye. He picked up the envelope it was in and he opened it. He expected it to be a card, but it wasn't. It was a ticket to see a fortune teller.

'Who is this crappy gift from?' he thought.

He looked at the envelope. It didn't have a name on it. He just put it aside until Mokuba came in.

"Mokuba. Do you know who this is from?" "Me. Why? You don't hate it do you?" "No. Of course not." "Seto. I'm taking you to the amusement park, okay? You're going to relax today and you have to promise me that you won't work." "I promise." "Okay, let's go!"

They got in the limo and rode towards the amusement park. At the amusement park Mokuba was extremely eager to go on every roller coaster there while Seto was reluctant to.

"Seto. Let's go on that really big roller coaster right there." Mokuba said enthusiastically. "No. Let's not." Kaiba said feeling a little embarrassed. "Why? Are you scared?" "Maybe. Maybe not." "C'mon. Tell me Seto. Your secret's safe with me." "Well, when I was 5 or 6 years old..."

~Flashback~

"Come on Seto. Let's go on that ride." "But I don't wanna. It looks too scary." "You can't be scared forever Seto." His mom said dragging him toward the roller coaster. "Daddy. Tell her I don't wanna go on that stupid ride." "Seto. Come on. It won't be that bad. I promise." "What if you're lying and it is really bad?" "Um- I'll buy you some ice cream on the way home." "Okay."

~End Flashback~

"So what happened?" Mokuba asked eagerly. "I went on and was traumatized for weeks." Seto said sadly. "Oh. Well you don't have to go on. You can just wait here." Mokuba said a bit sadly. "Okay. I'll wait for you." Seto said glad that Mokuba understood his problem.

Seto got bored waiting for Mokuba, so he walked around in search of something to do. He bought himself and Mokuba some candy and when he reached inside his pocket to get the money, he pulled out the fortune teller ticket instead. He quickly got the money and paid for the candy. Then he went to the fortune teller. He walked in the booth to see a mysterious old lady with long white hair and dark gray eyes staring at the crystal ball.

"Come sit down." The old woman said with a crackly voice. "Okay." Seto said. He sat down in the chair in front of her. "Seto, Seto, Seto." The lady said in an eerie voice that kind of freaked Seto out a bit. "Yes?" "How do you think your fortune will be in the future?" "Would I be here if I already knew that?" "..." "I didn't think so. Just give me my fortune so I can go find my brother." "You will travel far from here for important purposes - " "That's a bit obvious. I own a company." "And you will meet your true love. Mokuba is wondering where you are. You should go find him. Good day."

Seto left and found Mokuba. They had a great time but what the fortune teller told him kept sticking in his mind. Eventually, he and Mokuba went home. As soon as he sent Mokuba to bed, the phone rang.

"Hello?" "Mr. Kaiba. How do you do?"

"Fine. What do you want?" "There's a company that wants to challenge you."
