Okay, I've been watching all my favorite old Yu-Gi-Oh episodes on youtube and I am having so much fun! Anyway, I've been wanting to write a Seto/OC for a really long time, but hadn't quite been inspired… till now.
Just a side note, this story is NOT founded in any actual plot events of Yugioh, so you don't really have to know the show and there aren't any spoilers.
Also, if you're a new reader, welcome, and if you like this piece, feel free to check out some of my other works. I look forward to your REVIEWS!
Another quick author's note, I'm assuming you know who all the character's are, so I'm not really going to explain them too much okay? Reya is the same height as Yugi and has the same innocent, purple eyes. Her hair is black and sleek with purple and blonde highlights.
In Your Dreams: chapter one
…
..
.
Sitting bolt upright in her bed. Reya Mouto just awoke from a most disturbing dream.
A small, lithe girl found herself in her school uniform; short pleated skirt slung up casually over her hip to show some thigh, white blouse unbuttoned to the point of obscenity. She was leaning casually against a desk in her homeroom, as if she were waiting for somebody.
That somebody came in shirtless.
"Seto, what're you doing here?" she asked innocently, as if her clandestine actions were supposed to go unnoticed. She smoothed out her short pleated skirt and tried not to look too appetizing.
"I thought you might get lonely. Besides, I have a little problem that I'd like your help with."
"Oh?" with a coy smile, Reya Mouto waded through the sea of desks and pressed her hands firmly against Kaiba's bare torso. She looked down and noticed the problem immediately.
"Is that all?" Reya complained, her hands traveling slowly and sensually down his toned upper body, appreciating every crevice and beautifully sculpted corner until they found an easy place to rest. Kneeling down in front of Kaiba, she set to work.
"Reya… gods your so good," Kaiba groaned, lacing his hands through Reya's abundant, multi-colored hair. He rubbed her scalp, looping her hair around his fingers and stroking every silky strand. The girl remained kneeling before him for a few moments before responding.
"I'd like to think so," she retorted, standing up and crossing her arms at his compliment. She took in a deep breath and licked her lips. "Well, I double knotted them, so I don't think they'll be a problem for you any time soon."
Both of them looked down at his tennis shoes. They were tied into perfect bows.
"Thanks Reya," Kaiba said smiling. It was so un-Kaiba like, but it was her dream… so anything's possible.

"Man Reya, I'm sorry you got paired with that jerk for the project," Joey Wheeler said apologetically as the gang made their way down the hall. They'd just received their first project for the new semester and none of them were particularly happy about it.
"Nah, don't be sorry. It's not your fault." Reya Mouto wrung her hands anxiously in front of her, trying to look disappointed at the prospect of working for weeks on end with the KC prodigy, Seto Kaiba.
Reya's twin brother, Yugi had been partnered with Tea, Joey with Tristan, and Duke with Bakura. Reya had understandably been crushed, but had recovered quickly by partnering with the infamous Kaiba. Originally, she'd thought her friends would be angry, but instead they pitied her. She didn't mind of course. That at least kept her intentions under wraps for the time being.
"Well, if he's mean to you, we can always bash his head in!" Tristan interrupted, making Reya smile. She was glad she had her friends to back her up, but she wouldn't need them on this one.
Ever since she'd spent time with him in Duelist Kingdom, she couldn't get him, Seto Kaiba, out of her head. His beautiful brown hair, those icy blue eyes, and even his arrogant smirk all accosted her dreams to now end.
I'm just thankful Yugi hasn't found out yet… Reya thought, biting her bottom lip unconsciously as she wondered what her twin brother would think if he knew of her infatuation with his arch rival.
Yami had figured it out right away, although the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle hardly missed a beat to begin with. He'd kept her secret from Yugi, but reminded her of her deceit constantly.
"I don't think you should keep something like this from Yugi. He's your brother, and he likes to know what is troubling you," Yami had said, using his Pharaoh voice as they got ready for school.
"Well, there are some things I like to keep to myself. Besides, It's not like anything will ever happen!" Reya had tried to reason, pulling her tri-colored hair into a ponytail and skimming her amethyst hued eyes with black liner. It was one morning after everything had returned to normal; Grandpa was back with his soul restored, and Yugi was the King of Games with the help of his friends and the spirit who possessed his Millennium item.
Yami had watched her straighten up her blue uniform with a guilty tediousness that made the spirit eye her with skepticism.
"We cannot help who we fall in love with," he'd explained, his voice turning from serious to comforting. He'd had three thousand years to work on his people skills, and they often were very persuasive. However, Reya was steadfast.
"I'm not in love with anyone! I just have an intense sexual fascination, is all," Reya responded coquettishly. The pharaoh's face lit up with a blush as he cleared his throat and tried to recover from the comment.
He never did.

That got him off my case for now, but who knows how long that'll last. Reyalay in her bedroom above her grandfather's game shop that afternoon, wondering why she put herself through such torture. Yugi had gone to Tea's house for the project and would be gone all afternoon. She hadn't even spoken to Kaiba about it, and frankly she was nervous.
The guy was unapproachable. Unreachable. Impenetrable. A fortress. She sighed, twirling a piece of her long ponytail around her finger and thinking about the fate she'd handed herself. If she was smart, she wouldn't have chosen to become enamored with Seto. They were complete opposites as far as she could tell. He was headstrong and impervious, she was outgoing and loved to laugh.
Other than the aid she'd enlisted as part of Yugi's team to help him recover his brother, Mokuba's soul, Reya was sure Kaiba wasn't even sure she existed. She was Yugi's sister. His rival, Yugi's sister.
Clearly I hate myself, Reya chastised, staring up at the ceiling and trying to make sense of the random texture on it to distract herself.
"I guess I have to face the music sometime," she huffed out a cleansing breath and flipped up her cell phone uneasily, tapping in the number she'd found for S. Kaiba in the phone book.
"Kaiba Corporation, Domino City. Please hold."
He's a busy guy. I'm sure he gets lots of calls-
After several minutes, in which Reya had to convince herself not to lose her nerve, she heard a most disturbing sound.
Click.
"… did the phone just hang up?" Reya looked in disbelief at the piece of plastic she held with an iron grip. Yup. She was disconnected.
Scoundrel. Fiend. Reya's upper lip twitched in frustration. She'd have to actually approach the guy at school. A shiver ran up her spine at the thought of a confrontation with Seto Kaiba. As far as she knew, he didn't speak to anyone at school, not even the teachers. He was a genius to begin with, so he probably thought school was trivial. Reya, however, struggled to keep a 'B' average.
Clicking off her bedside light, Reya snuggled under her covers and tried to take a cat nap before her mind plummeted off the deep end with worry. The dream she had was anything but comforting.
The sun streamed down a thousand shades of gold onto the meadow. Reya ran a hair through her usual ponytail and let the beautiful scenery wash over her. Her fingertips caressed the length of every blade of vibrant green grass. Another wonderful day in the park.
Pulling down the brim of her hat, Reya made her way to the shadiest corner of the meadow where she was met with an unexpected surprise. Seto Kaiba leaned against the trunk of the willow tree, breathing hard, completely indisposed.
"Mr. Kaiba! Let me help you!" It wasn't until she'd knelt down in front of him that she noticed the heated swollen flesh that he seemed so pained over. Thinking fast, she rested her hand on her thigh to steady herself and pressed her lips to the engorged flesh. Her tongue ran over the opening and retreated hastily into her mouth as Kaiba elicited a moan from above.
His icy blue eyes were half closed, and his long lashes blinked the sun beams from his eyes as he spoke to her, his breathing ragged.
"Reya," he managed to whisper before her mouth was once again on him. When her lips finally tasted the warm liquid inside, she sat up and spit it out in the dirt. Taking a bandage out from her satchel, Reya placed it on the wound and began to wrap it firmly in place.
"Mr. Kaiba, you might not be so lucky next time. Snake venom is extremely poisonous. Make sure when you get back, you have a doctor look at that." Pressing her cool hand to his forehead, Reya was rewarded with a guilty smile.
"Yes Ranger Mouto. I'll be more careful next time."
Reya sat up in bed in a cold sweat. Every time she had one of these strangely erotic, yet harmless dreams, her core throbbed. She clenched her knees together under the sheets and tried not to think about him.
Hopefully when I talk to him tomorrow, these visions will go away. Or get worse. Either way, it'll be better than it is now!
**
It was the next morning. Reya had hardly been able to get any shut eye with her active imagination in full gear until three in the morning. She entered her homeroom uneasily, remembering the first dream she had had about him. She shuddered at the thought.
Setting her mind once again on the task at hand, she made her way over to the back of the class where Seto Kaiba sat unmoving.
"Um… ahem." Reya cleared her throat and reached out hesitantly to tap Kaiba on the shoulder. He was sitting at his usual desk in the back of the classroom, his arms crossed and his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping.
Maybe I'll come back another time, she told herself, getting up hastily just as a pair of blue eyes ensnared her.
"What?"
His voice was harsh and annoyed, and Reya struggled to keep herself from getting intimidated. She felt like the eyes of everyone in the classroom were bearing down upon her as she tried to make heads or tails of her words.
"W-when did you um, wanna do it?" She blushed and slapped herself mentally. "The project, um, when did you want to work on it?" Sitting up from his reclined position, Kaiba simply stared at her, his eyes speaking for him instead. I've got nothing but time, they said.
"Oh, okay, how about this afternoon at my ho-"
"My house, at four."
"Sounds good to me," Reya added, shrugging her shoulders at her over exuberant display of excitement.
He must think I'm a spaz.
Reya got up in a rush and headed to her place at the near head of the classroom. She took a seat beside her brother, who smiled sympathetically at her predicament and Joey who gave her a thumbs up.
"You'll be fine," he assured her, just as the teacher walked in to begin the lesson.
I sure hope so.
**
"Holy cow… this place is huge!" Reya mused as her brother and she made their way to the Kaiba Corp building in the center of town. Yugi was insistent about the weirdest things, including escorting her to Kaiba's mansion. When they reached the gate, she stopped and glanced at him for any final words of wisdom.
"Alright, I guess there's nothing to wish you luck on. Maybe… 'have fun' is a more appropriate farewell?"
"Have fun?" Reya cracked a smile at Yugi who only shrugged.
"That's all I got! See ya later Reya," he waved as he walked back down the long driveway towards the game shop.
"I'm here to see uh, Mr. Kaiba," Reya stuttered, pressing the buzzer to be let in.
"Do you have an appointment?" An irritated voice lit up the line and Reya stood back as the it resonated loudly in her ears.
"Yes." Reya knitted her eyebrows at her response. She'd hoped he would've alerted his staff to her arrival… but maybe he didn't want them knowing she was coming.
When the gate screeched open before her, Reya received her answer.
Reya made her way to the front door and entered the lobby only to be greeted by the same voice that had yelled at her from the intercom.
"Floor 22, please," it said from nowhere, indicating the elevators in front of her. Reya hugged her backpack straps to her and stared around the lavish lobby. She felt awkward and out of place among the trappings and furnishings of the upper class, but made her way up despite it.
Floor 22 was clearly where Kaiba lived, or so Reya would've guessed according to the décor, however, the place was neat and smelled of Lysol as if it was never lived in at all. Once more, the awkward feeling made its way up Reya's spine. She was shell-shocked out of her awed expression when a head popped into view over the couch in front of her.
"Whoa… company? And from Seto's high school. Are you his girlfriend?" Reya snorted, embarrassed at the implication, however, she acknowledged that Mokuba must indeed be lonely if she was the only company they'd had in a while.
"You're Mokuba, right? I met you once in-"
"Duelist Kingdom! Yeah, I remember you. You're Yugi's sister, right? Wow, I never thought I'd see the day that Seto dated Yugi's sister-"
"Don't be foolish Mokuba. I'd never date Yugi's sister." Kaiba himself stood in the doorway, peering almost cynically down on his brother and Reya, both at least a head and a half shorter than him. His expression didn't drop when he addressed her either.
"Let's get this over with," he commanded, motioning with a swoop of his perfectly coiffed hair towards the back of the apartment.
He's always so much nicer in my dreams, Reya thought, the realization that her dream Kaiba and the real Kaiba were mutually exclusive. The only thing they shared was the same irresistible eyes.
Although my dreams seem to always have me kneeling before him, like a-
"Let's go," Kaiba interrupted, forcing Reya to face up to reality, she snorted at his harsh tone, but followed him back to his study nonetheless.
"You know, I'm glad that even being as busy as you are, you have time for school projects like this. It seems like you could have other people work on this for you," Reya smiled, attempting to break the ice. In her case however, it was like throwing a pebble at a glacier.
"Don't tempt me," he responded coolly. Reya huffed in a deep breath and blew it out the corner of her mouth, sending the whisps of her bangs flying. This was going to be a long study session.
"So… Marxist theory," Reya began once more, taking a seat on the plush carpet of the study and digging through her backpack for her study materials. She emerged victorious, brandishing her theory packet, flipping to the page on Marxism.
"… 'using class inter-action to analyze a piece of literature.' Sounds simple enough. Which short story do you want to use? Personally I think "The Transformation" by Kafka is funny-"
Seeing her sitting there in his house, on his floor with no idea what to do with him had Seto Kaiba on edge.
I have a couple ideas of what we could do, and none of them involve class action. He'd nearly chuckled as she rambled aimlessly, trying hopelessly to fill in the empty space between them.
"The uh, new research library opened this weekend! I bet we could find some interesting stuff on Marxist theory there," Reya suggested bereft, holding her breath and hoping, finally, to get a response out of him.
"That's the first good idea you've had all day." His usual arrogant smirk made its way to his lips, and Reya couldn't help but heave out another huge sigh.
Yup. Way nicer in my dreams.
**
"Wow! It's so cool in here!" Reya exclaimed, running through the aisles (well, padding quickly because it was a library) like a kid in a candy store. She'd never seen so many books in one place. "It even has that new car, er, building smell."
Kaiba couldn't believe his eyes. She was such a child. Her naive pleasure at the simplest of commodities confused him to no end, although she hadn't become a business tycoon before the end of high school. She was allowed to enjoy the simple things.
It wasn't just her childish nature or her enthusiasm that irked Kaiba. It was the fact that he enjoyed watching her eyes light up- she would skip instead of walk, her voice would change from coherent speech to musical giggles. Her ponytail would swing side to side to side… He wanted to pull his fingers through the multi-colored streaks and clench it in his fists.
Damn it. Kaiba sucked in a huge breath and reminded himself of where he was. Trapped in the library, undeniably in love with Reya Mouto, his arch rival's sister.
Seto Kaiba isn't in love with anyone. It's more like an intense sexual fascination.
Reya sneezed in the literature section.
Hmmm. Someone must be thinking about me! She glanced longingly over her shoulder to where Kaiba stood tormented at the beginning of the bookcase with his arms crossed.
Nope. Maybe it was just my imagination.
"Hey, wanna grab this book for… and he's gone." Reya's words trailed off. Kaiba had vanished. "Fine," the small girl rolled up her sleeves and tried to smooth out her feathers before hauling the ladder from the edge of the row to her section and climbing on.
Why do the books I need always end up on the top shelf? This is Japan for gods' sake! How many tall people can there possibly be?
"Damn it," Reya cursed under her breath. She normally prided herself on her clean vocabulary, but the book was out of reach. With an irritated twitch in her eye, she tried to reason with herself.
If you jump and try to get it, you'll end up-
Reya rarely listened to her own reason.
Launching gracefully of the top step of the ladder, she grasped the edges of her book in her hands, sliding the cover out of its place before swinging her legs to land back once again on the top step.
Now that wasn't so bad!
The ladder rolled out from under her.
In a split second, the eight foot gap between Reya and the floor was closing fast. She squeezed her eyes shut and prayed she'd be rescued before it was too late. She prayed that the strong arms of Seto Kaiba would wrap around her and prevent her from hitting the ground at all.
But the real Seto Kaiba was nowhere to be found. And she fell.
Her hands braced the initial impact, but her head still slammed into carpeted concrete with a thunk. The world seemed fuzzy for a minute as Reya's vision swam in and out of focus. The last thing her memory captured was the gasps of bystanders as she was rushed to the ambulance.
Haha, I bet you expected Kaiba to save her! Well… so did I. Then I was like, nah, that's boring and now here we are! Please don't forget to review!
