Yursh, I'm back with a brand new story! Everyone cheer. XD This prologue's a bit short, not much of a beginning oo;; But I promise, it'll get much better. I hope.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Get over it.
I'm a failure.
Seto Kaiba glared out of the windows into the pouring rain. His image glared back at him. His life was in an absolute turmoil right now—half of his staff had quit in fear of what the newly-returned Pegasus would do to them, Mokuba had been cooped up in his room, terrified of the outside world, and of course, Yugi and gang of 'friends' would not stop bothering him about how the world was ending and how the planet's population's fate rested solely on his shoulders.
Kaiba sighed and rested his forehead against the smooth surface of the glass. Glancing down from his 20th floor office, he noticed not a single person was bustling around in the once-busy city of Domino. Of course…how predictable. It's been like this ever since that freak show that claimed to read minds had come back to power. Stores were boarded up, people were being dragged away as prisoners, and there was a nasty rumor that they were murdered in a secret far-away place for unknown reasons.
Turning away from the dismal sight below, Kaiba sat down in front of his computer, trying to concentrate on his work. It was no use; he couldn't think straight right now. He stood back up again and walked to his shelf of books. Kaiba scanned the book titles, brushing his fingers against the spine of each book before selecting an old one he had found a few years ago at a rather dismal looking bookshop. He usually didn't bother going into any bookshops at all—it was much faster to find something online and have it shipped to his mansion or to his office here at KaibaCorp, but something about the shop he had found it in had caught his eye.
