This is my first fanfic ever and I am so excited. I am so obsessed with fanfic I decided to start writing my own.
I will switch the perspective of the chapters between characters and a narrator's perspective. There is a chance for some original characters but they won't be introduced until later if I decide to add them.
Anyways, enjoy this Blueshipping story :)!
Chapter 1: Meetings Without Preparation
Today was just like any other day. Seto Kaiba stretched and got up out of his king sized bed and groggily walked into his bathroom. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, and went downstairs to make himself coffee. It was only 5:30 in the morning about almost an hour late for Seto to just now be getting up. But he had been working on a very important project and was up until 2:00 this morning.
Seto made the usual pot of black coffee for himself and sat at the marble table in the middle of the room. He had grabbed his backpack before he took the elevator to the kitchen on the 14th floor because it had the laptop he had built because no of the others suited his needs or was secure enough for his work. Seto pulled out his laptop and continued working on the project. He was working on new technology that would improve the game of Duel Monsters. He worked rapidly typing keys and making quick calculations for 7 minutes before getting up and pouring himself a cup of coffee since after 7 minutes there was finally enough coffee to fill a cup. He picked up the cup and sat back in the cherry wood chair. Immediately he got back to working on the new tech.
The laptop was starting to become slow and failing to perform almost all emergency security protocols. He needed to build a new one sometime this week before any of his work was stolen.
People were always to steal his work and hack into his system. If anyone ever managed to get past Seto's security measures (which was impossible unless which they were Seto Kaiba which obviously they weren't) it was highly unlikely they could sell it off as their own work. Plus Seto would sue them before they had the chance.
Seto was very specific on what he needed for security. In order for Seto to use a laptop that he built he would test the security by holding a 4 day conference for the top 15 hackers across the globe. He would have the hackers compete to break into the laptop and successfully steal important information. Seto would put them together in teams with different numbers of members or individual with time limits. There wasn't really any important information on the prototype the hackers were supposed to break into but there was a few old secrets that most people already knew. Anyways if the hackers by some miracle got past a quarter of his security measures in the given time limit than Seto would redo the security features. After Seto transferred all his data to the new computer he gave his little brother Mokuba his old one. Mokuba was always happy to get Seto's old computer which was always fun to mess around and find things Seto left on his old laptop.
Seto worked hard on his new tech and occasionally took sips of coffee or refilled when there wasn't any left in his cup, until his eyes peered down at the time on screen. It was 7:00 am. School started at 8:15 which was only an hour and 15 minutes away. Mokuba better be up soon or they would have a late start on their first day back to school.
Seto then shut down his computer and placed it carefully in his bag and went to the refrigerator. He took out the orange juice and a glass out of the adjacent cabinet. He poured the juice until it filled the glass three-fourths of the way. He put the orange juice back in the refrigerator and carried the glass over to the seat across from where he had been sitting. He sat back down and pulled out of his backpack the Odyssey in its original language,Greek.
A few minutes after Seto had started reading he heard the subtle ding of the elevator. He lowered his book slowly, finishing the page, and marked the page he was going to pick up on the next time he read the book. Seto finished putting down the book and turned his head to see his little brother Mokuba step through the stainless doors before they closed. Mokuba dragged himself past the furniture of the adjacent room and over to the table before sitting down in the chair across from Seto.
"Morning Mokuba," Seto greeted his little brother.
"Morning Seto. Thanks for the orange juice," Mokuba replied rubbing his tired eyes and taking sips from his glass of orange juice that was wet with condensation.
Seto on school days set a glass of orange juice across from where he sat at around 7:00 because that's when Mokuba would get up. It was something they had done for years now. Mokuba finished his glass of orange juice and got up to put it in the sink. Then Seto grabbed his bag and stuffed his book in it and slung it on his back. Mokuba slung his backpack that, Seto had prepared for him and had set on Mokuba's chair the previous night, on his back and followed Seto who was heading towards the elevator.
Seto pressed the down arrow on the panel on the wall beside the stainless steel doors and it lit up showing the elevator was being called to go down. The elevator dinged a few seconds after he pressed the button and the button's glow disappeared. The stainless steel doors opened and Seto and Mokuba stepped in.
Seto pressed the ground floor button and almost immediately the doors silently shut. The system that composed the elevator was whirring slightly as it moved the Kaiba brothers down to the ground floor. Almost as swiftly as Seto and Mokuba had got in the elevator they were getting off it. They walked down the hall and out the doors where the limo was waiting.
The window was rolled down and Seto's personal assistant Roland stuck out his head. He started to open his mouth as if he were to say something but he must have decided not to and ducked his head inside and rolled up the window. Seto opened the door and Mokuba climbed in. Seto followed his little brother in the car then he shut the car started moving and the Kaiba Corp. tower grew farther and farther away. In about 2 minutes into the drive Roland finally spoke.
"Sir, would you like me to pick you up at the usual time?" Roland grumbled to his boss.
"Yes. I will call you if anything changes. But, make sure to pick Mokuba up at 3:00 and take him back to the house," Seto replied in a voice that was almost snarky.
"Yessir," Roland confirmed when Seto had finished.
Seto reclined having not before because he was slightly agitated that he didn't have more time to work on the new tech. When shortly after his brief conversation with Roland ended they arrived at Mokuba's school. Mokuba was old enough and had enough intelligence to go to Domino High but, Seto didn't want him to have to deal with the idiots they call teachers. Seto practically taught almost every class. The only way he wasn't is because he can get a job by school rules (which they had bended because Seto had to run Kaiba Corp and he donated lots of money to the school), the teachers taught the lesson plans Seto prepared and passed out the tests, homework,and quizzes Seto came up with, they didn't pay him to do the job, and he wasn't "qualified" which he had better and more degrees than all the teacher there.
The limo arrived at Mokuba's school. Seto and Mokuba exchanged farewells and Mokuba got out of the car. He then ran off to his school. Anyways a few minutes later the limo arrived at Domino High. The limo slowed down and came to a stop.
Seto opened the door, got out, then shut it. He heard the engine of limo behind him roar to life and then fade as it head back to the tower. Today he was back where he had been several months ago.
Taking in the detestable sight of Domino High, Seto walked up the two sets of broken and cracked concrete stairs next to the rusty, metal railings. He open the enormous doors and stepped into the high school. It wasn't too crowded yet but the hallways still bustled with people full life and laughter as people shared their summer adventures to one another. Seto always hated the first day back to school but thank goodness because it would be his last. He groaned and scoffed from the conversations about how summer "had been the best one yet" but, they obviously hadn't been CEO of one of the world's largest companies for 4 years now which ruined one's summer vacation. Seto kind of ignored them and continued his trip to room 309 which was his homeroom this year.
He walked up the flights of stairs with ease which, he noticed some of the other kids couldn't do without breaking a sweat. "Weaklings," He thought. Finally he arrived at room 309. Seto walked in and sat down in the middle of the back row without bothering to say anything to the teacher. Seto kicked up his feet and pulled out his book and continued from where he left off from this morning.
There wasn't much to the classrooms at Domino High. The walls were the school's colors royal blue, gold, and white. The student's desks were plain and wooden. Teachers had metal desks but, they still weren't as good as they should be.
For all the money Seto put into this stupid school it still wasn't what it should be. They must have wasted Seto's hard earned money instead of using it wisely. But, why should Seto really care? He only donated a small amount of money for each year he attended the school and anyways this was his last year.
Seto once again finished the page and marked where he would pick up before placing his book on his desk. A rather large group of students came into the room and was excessively loud. In fact they were almost too loud for the time being. But, at that moment Seto knew exactly who that group of students was.
Joey, Tea, Yugi, Tristan, Bakura, and Serenity walked into the classroom and were loudly conversing. But, it wasn't like that was anything out of the ordinary. Yugi and his band of cheerleaders were always exceedingly loud and obnoxious. What was even worse is that they constantly ruined Seto's life. It was only 7:45 in the morning and Seto's day was already ruined thanks to them.
"Oh hey 'Ol Moneybags. What's up?" Joey casually asked as he waved like he and Seto were best friends reuniting after not seeing each other for months.
But Joey never really thought about what he was saying. So, often he poked the bear. Joey and Seto were not friends in the least. Kaiba would give his company away and abandon his little brother Mokuba before he was friends with Joey Wheeler and that wasn't happening anytime soon. Joey cringed and paused right in the middle of walking to the desk he was going to sit at because he knew immediately after the words left his mouth he had just poked the very angry and very moody bear.
Seto stood up and walked well, more liked stomped his way over to where Yugi and company was. He growled at Joey and Joey shrank away from bear known as Seto Kaiba. Yugi and his friends receded and sat in the seats they had planned to sit in quickly. Joey and Tristan were the only ones of Yugi's friends to be to scared to move.
Joey tried to hide behind Tristan who also was receding from Kaiba. But, Tristan just pushed Joey in front of him to save himself from Seto finally sat down and left Joey standing and also vulnerable to whatever Seto was going to do next. Seto opened his mouth and pointed his pointer finger straight at Joey's chest.
"Cannit Wheeler. I don't have time for little runts like you who are all bark and no bite. But, you can't even talk big. What a waste of time you are Wheeler," Seto Kaiba laughed at Joey's mistake and lowered his pointed finger.
"Uh. K-Kaiba?" Yugi stuttered not sure whether or not to continue.
"Having problems Yugi? Does someone need to go back to pre-school. Don't worry you're so short you'll fit right in," Kaiba joked and rolled his eyes taking in everyone's different facial expression.
"Well, I was wondering if you would-" Yugi started to ask Kaiba very slowly still unsure on wether or not to continue asking his question not wanting to further provoke the bear.
"Listen Yugi if you're going to say something get on with it. I don't have all day ya know. Some of us actually have lives," Seto continued to insult Yugi while he was still trying to ask his question.
Yugi's brows knit together and he frowned slightly. While he was feeling a bit concerned about the current situation, Kaiba was not. Seto was completely at ease. The only thing that bothered him was that Yugi seemed like he would never finish whatever he was trying to say and was taking up Seto's precious time.
"Could you please apologize for what you said to Joey it was kinda rude?" Yugi finished asking the question he pondered for several minutes to ask.
But by Kaiba's reaction Yugi knew what the answer was. Yugi hoped he was wrong and Kaiba was going to say something his face didn't. Yugi doubted it and really regretted asking. He knew he just like Joey that he had just poked the very angry bear that was Seto Kaiba.
"Not a chance," Seto hissed and was slightly relieved that this was close to being over.
"You were a little rude. So, I think you should apologize to my big brother," Serenity tried to reason with Kaiba.
"Me rude? Please. You all are being rude wasting my precious time as much as I'd like to believe it, I am not immortal!" Kaiba responded quickly, cold heartedly, and even added a derisive laugh.
Serenity turned around having being reduced to tears by Kaiba's words and death glares. She was instantly comforted by Tea who got and sat over by Serenity glaring at Kaiba the whole time. But, Seto just laughed and went back to his seat. He had just turned around to say something to the band of cheerleaders who sat in the first couple rows of desk but something more like someone caught his attention. It couldn't be.
It was a girl who somehow strongly resembled his favorite card. Seto's favorite card was the blue eyes white dragon and the girl may he's the description of a human form of the dragon. He almost expected meeting a new student but, he wasn't prepared for a meeting like this. The girl had glistening long, white hair and sparkling, ocean blue eyes full of life and a sense of wonder. Her skin was rather pale and her cheeks a had a slight rosy flush.
She was wearing the standard Domino High girls uniform and had paired it with a pair of black high top sneakers and a black beret sitting at an angle on her head. The girl was thin and a few inches shorter than Seto. She had a navy blue backpack and clutched her books close to her chest. She stopped in the doorway and huffed awhile before she opened her mouth to say something.
But then she realized her hat had fallen off her head and immediately searched for it. It had landed a few feet from Seto but, close to Yugi and his gang. Yugi and his friend were to stunned to do anything and their attention was continued held by the appearance of the new girl. Seto however snapped out of the trance, closed his mouth (which he hadn't been aware was open), and went over to pick it up.
He extended his arm with the hat he had picked up and gave it back to the girl. She smiled and accepted the offered return of her hat. Their eyes met a for a second and Seto felt a spark like they were connected. He then backed up and looked away. Seto smiled to himself and walked back to his seat.
"Sir?" The girl questioned trying to grab Kaiba's attention.
"Yes miss," Seto replied turning around to face the new girl. Yugi and his friends were shocked at the respect Kaiba treated the new girl with.
The girl with white hair and blue eyes stared right into his eyes before shyly glancing away. The flush in her cheeks intensified and became just a little brighter. She mouthed the words "thank you" and brought a little warmth into Seto's body. Seto mouthed "you're welcome back" but, in a more cordial way than he usually did when his mouth formed those words.
She and Seto snapped back to the present and she gained a slightly flustered look. She had just remembered what she was going to ask before her hat had fallen off her head. The girl looked around trying to keep a cool composure but, it was quite obvious she was anxious and nervous. Then she spotted what she was looking for.
Seto followed her gaze to see the clock on the back wall between two pointless and cheesy motivational posters. He glanced over at the still awestruck band of cheerleaders and then refocused his gaze on the girl. She looked slightly relieved but, also concerned. She moved out of the doorway and other students flooded the room.
"I'm not late am I?" The girl inquired her eyes growing big with worry looking between Yugi, his friends, and Kaiba.
"School doesn't start until 8:15 in the morning and it's only 7:52. Then at 3:15 in the afternoon school is let out for the day but, you don't need to worry about that yet," Yugi answered. He and his friends finally recovered from shock of the girl's arrival and Seto's unnatural generosity and kindness.
"So basically what my friend here's trying to say is that you're not late," Tea backed Yugi up trying to make good first impression on the newcomer.
"Yep. You're not late," Kaiba smirked at the girl noticing the looks from Yugi and his gang that were full of anger, jealousy, and hatred for interrupting their conversation with the new girl out of his peripheral vision," not in the least."
