He sat down at the desk and ran his fingers over the papers. Yes. It was perfect. He flicked through, nodding with delight. He glanced to the clock, only a few more hours.

The phone buzzed. He put it to his ear, and barked,

'Speak.'

'Sir, the target has been acquired.'

'Good.'

'We will proceed with your permission.'

'Proceed.' He dropped the line and then clasped his hands. Perfect, it was all going to plan. After sitting there for a while he got up and moved to the large French windows that overlooked the town. Yes. It had been almost a full year since he had conducted any experiments, and he was very particular with who he chose. He looked up to the ceiling where the fan dangled.

Last year he had tied a woman to a chair and put the ceiling fan next to her. After switching it on it had slowly cut through her neck to the point of decapitation. He loved it. Every scream and drop of blood. Every cry and shout and plead. He loved it. He loved to be feared. It gave him power. He was the most powerful man in Domino and he knew it. Terror meant response, and that was exactly what he wanted. He had ruled the town for over ten year through means of fear and he wasn't going to give up now. Just then he heard the main door knock twice and swing open with a clatter. With interest he left his office and headed for the lobby.

He stood at the top of the stairs in his black three piece suit. The red waist coat glistened under the candle lit chandelier. He looked down on the two hooded men, gripping tightly onto a struggling blond. He could tell the blond man was loosing power, he was tired and he had already been drugged. He waved his hand slowly, signalling the guards to take him to the chamber. He watched them drag him away, before eventually, he lost consciousness.

Footsteps echoed in the hall as he reached the chamber. Checking no one was around, he pushed open the door and stepped into a dark room. There, against the back wall, the blond man was tied up, gagged.

'Mr Jounouchi, I have been waiting for you.' He eyed the boy again, watching his brown eyes turn wild at the sight of the man before him. 'Ah, you know who I am, there is no need for an introduction then.' He paused, watching Jounouchi struggle. He smiled to himself, 'I assume you know why you're here?' At that, the young man began to struggle violently, his head crashing against the wall several times and his legs flailing to try and stand…but it was no use. The tall brunet watched with amusement at the antics, slowly walking closer as he did so. Eventually, he was inches from the blond's face and he could smell the growing dread on the man. He smiled again, pulling off the gag.

'You…you're Seto Kaiba…' The blond shouted, flailing around, trying desperately to escape. The man laughed again, taking a step back,

'So, I see you have heard of me.' Blue eyes narrowed, 'It's no use trying to escape. The grounds are sealed. You won't be leaving tonight.' He smirked. 'You won't be leaving at all. At least, not in a recognisable form.' Jounouchi's eyes shot widely…what was this man talking about? Was he freaking insane? Well, that was out of the question. He was a bloodthirsty murderer. He had killed hundreds with no real reason, and he knew he was next. He watched as Kaiba eyed him, smiling at the terror he could see. What kind of person was this man? What did he want? And more importantly…

'What are you going to do?' Kaiba smirked at the question. He had grown accustomed to it. He had a thousand different plans, a million ways of torture but he always narrowed a set few down for every person who passed through the mansion doors. He spent weeks observing people to decide what he would most like to see, what he would most like to do.

'Well,' he began, reaching out to touch the soft blond hair before him, twisting it between his fingers for a few seconds before the blond pulled away as if he had been burnt. Seto laughed, 'You remind me of an animal…' he smirked and the horror on the boys face, 'A dog.' He paused to watch the boys eyes widen, 'I've been working on an experiment to turn people into animals, and you may be the first I try it on.' With that, Jounouchi began to struggle again, banging around and screaming for help. The man before him was twisted…and he didn't want to be here any more. 'Just think, I could play with that lovely golden fur all day and you would have to be obedient. How nice would that be?' Jounouchi's eyes went wide.

'Why…why would you do that?'

'I have nothing better to do.' The brunet shrugged. 'It seems fun. If not painful.' He grinned widely.

'P…Painful?'

'Well yes. I don't imagine it to be pleasant, your bones cracking, you skull stretching, your spine breaking as it takes new form. A tail growing and things shirking, your memories leaving you, leaving you hollow, an empty shell of your former being. Imagine all of the fur growing from your hands, your face. The panting and the animal instincts. Oh yes, I imagine it to be quite painful.' Jounouchi froze. Fear riddled his entire being and his eyes began to burn. Never in his life had he been so afraid of a single person, never in his life had he imagined this.

'Can't you kill me instead? I would rather die.'

'No. That would be too easy.'

'Then just get it over with.' He closed his eyes. 'I don't care anymore.' He hung his head and took a deep breath, tears streaming from his brown eyes. Kaiba watched and pushed away the nagging feeling of remorse, replacing it with a grin. It was rare that people gave in so easily. Many would try and run, but the blond looked utterly defeated, like there was nothing left to fight for. Kaiba was intrigued and wanted to know more, but he couldn't. That was not why Jounouchi was summoned. He touched the blond hair again, he really did love that hair…he would make a wonderful pet…

oOoOoOoOoOo
