Chapter 1:Bad Beginning?
Domino City Airport
Domino City was as busy as ever and I'm sure you know that. With bustling cars and hurrying people. Conversations carried out by strangers. The climate in the air was starting to get hotter for the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new school year. ( I think I read from somewhere that students in Japan start school during the spring time. If it isn't, I'll just let that happen in my story.)
But the main setting here is the Domino International Airport and with the echo of planes carrying through the airport. As well as sounds of them taking off and landing at the same time. Confusion through the place, don't you think so?
But we are focused on a special young lady. She is sitting on one of the many benches in the airport and groaning because of her aching, sore feet in her sandals. "Never again will I wear these shoes. I can't walk right in them. Why didn't I listen to onii-chan"she groaned and grumbled as she placed her luggages next to her and sat while waiting for her family to finish collecting the amount of luggage they brought with them.
A young man with a similar luggage bag approached her with an air of obvious affirmation, preciseness and smirking for some reason.
"Don't give me that look. Oh, and I know that you'll say, 'I told you so' "said the girl with a scowl on her face as she high pitched her voice when she said the offending and insulting phrase.
"Well I won't be that direct. But like you said, I did tell you that"said the boy as he stretched the last word to emphasize it.
The girl huffed and crossed her arms. "What are you? My fashion consultant?"
These two individuals have significant roles in the story and are surpassingly peculiar. Before their names would be exposed, let me describe them for you. The young man is a striking and handsome person. He has tri-colored hair and perilously vivid red-violet orbs.
The young woman had a lovely shade of pink hair.(Imagine Chibi-Usa in Sailor Moon. Her hair color's the same. Not the same style though.)It had a blond streak running down the first long bang on both sides. Her bangs were like the young man's except little bit more longer and tamed. But the startling part about her was her eyes. They were a shade of daring red violet, just like the boy. Her hair cascaded down like a wavy waterfall on her back.
The two of them looked to be advancing adulthood. As they carried on with their petty and meaningless dispute, a woman with pinkish-magentaish hair and red eyes came over to them. She is fairly tall for her age and her hair was kept in a messy bun.
"Hiro, Yumi. Will you two stop going at eachother's head? Just for today."said the woman as she looked at them hopelessly. It was expecting of them to fight in her eyes. She knew that her children were mature but when it comes to disputation...they behave the same as three year olds.
Both of them stared at eachother and sighed. " Hai, Kaa-san"they said.
So they were siblings, this is interesting.
" Matoko, do you really think that they wouldn't be fighting today? I had said that they'll be at eachother's throats just as they step out of the plane."said a man behind them, Yugi Mouto. Many events happen throughtout the years and everything for him has enhanced. Yes, it has been years since he had returned to his homeland of Japan. When he graduated from high school and progressed on to the business world in college.
Or so he thought before that fateful day when he received a phone call concerning about a distant uncle of his had recently died. Startlingly, his uncle owns a greatly successful company. It is known as Mouto TechDuel. Due to the fact that his uncle had no heir nor heiress, Yugi was the next candidate. And he was a very good choice, knowing that the company has flourished over the past years. Over these years, Solomon Mouto have lived up to the years God had blessed him with and now is dead. In other words, Yugi is now a fairly rich CEO of Mouto TechDuel.
Yumi looked at him incredulously. "You really doubt us that much, Tou-san?"
"Yes," He laughed.
With that, the parents went out the door with some of the luggages they had brought. Their children grabbed the rest.
Outside of the entrance waiting for them was a small but elegant limo.
The driver came out of his seat and opened the back of the limo. He took the luggage from the Moutos and placed them in the back. He closed the lid and said, "Master Mouto, Mr. Kaiba has called the mansion to say he wanted to speak with you at his estate. Of course, when you have the time."
Yugi nodded, "We can head to the mansion later. I would like to talk with Mr. Kaiba right now."
"Of course," with that he opened the doors for the Moutos. They went in and the driver placed the car keys in the ignition. He drove to Kaiba Estate.
Kaiba Estate
"Tou-san, why couldn't one of the top ranking workers transfer to Domino to start the new game store. They are very capable to do that. Why must we transfer here to start it?"asked Yumi as she grumbled. She didn't really liked the idea of coming to Japan. Not when this year was her senior year in high school. She had wanted to spend her last year of high school with her friends. She had never really paid attention to her heritage country until now.
"Well, I know I could have had one of the workers to start the game store. But your mother and I have a connection here. Besides, we haven't seen our friends for a long time. We want you and your brother to know what it's like to live in Domino City"said Yugi as if he was talking to an intentive child.
He knew of the difficulties that were caused to his children. Yugi wanted his children...no, young adults to see his home country and city before growing up to be out in the world.
"Well, what if nii-san and I don't like it here?"asked Yumi.
"You'll like it here, sweetie. It's a great place. The states might've had its advantages but Japan has things that the states doesn't have. You and Hiro will be attending Domino High and that's final. No complaining"said Matoko as she saw her daughter opened her mouth to protest.
She knew of her daughter's personality. She was the one who had the most immense trouble of coming here between her brother and her.
"Tou-san, I don't trust Jasuko to watch over the main branch of Mouto TechDuel.The most important part of Mouto TechDuel is in his hands now. Should we really rely on him for such an important part?"said Hiro as his eyes hardened to a dark violet tone of color as he mentioned this Jasuko character. He had been holding a grudge against Jasuko when he felt a negative aura about him.
He clearly doesn't like him. Or rather detest and loathe should be the correct word usages.
"Don't worry, son. I'll call when we get to our mansion. I have no idea why you have this grudge towards him. He's an excellent worker and has a good attitude"said Yugi. Hiro plainly ignored the comment..
The Moutos got out of the car as soon as the driver arrived at Kaiba Estate.
Kaiba Estate had a tall, immense in size iron gate with the letter 'K' etched on it. Skillfully and beautifully as well. A fountain with a fierce Blue Eyes White Dragon statuette stood proudly and roaring had water cascading down its mouth. The garden held sweet fragrances of diversity of flowers mixed into one gorgeous scent. The mansion looked to be around seven or eight floors had looked elegant and poise.
Yugi rang the doorbell and a maid opened it up for them.
"How may I help you, sir?"asked the maid.
"I'm Yugi Mouto. Mr. Kaiba wanted to see me when I have arrived"he said.
"Oh! Mr. Mouto. Please to meet you. We weren't expecting you and your family until later. Master and Mistress Kaiba are in the library. Please follow me."said the maid surprised to see them here promptly.
"We're meeting someone called, 'Mr. Kaiba'?"asked Yumi as she looked at her father.
"Yes, he's an old friend of mine"Yugi said as he continued to look on ahead.
"Are we merging Mouto TechDuel with Kaiba Corp.?"asked Hiro.
Yumi looked at her brother,"How do you know that Mr. Kaiba has a corporation?"
"I listened to Tou-san's boring speech about the corporations in Domino City."Hiro said casually and not minding the mock glare his father shot him.
"I heard that and yes, we are merging. As soon as we get the game store straightened up first"Yugi said.
The maid stopped at double oakwood doors and opened it for them. "Thank you," said Yugi as he nodded to the maid and went in.
The Moutos went in the room and there stood a man and a woman in their late thrities. Like the age of Yugi and Matoko. The man had dark chestnut hair with piercing deep blue eyes and stood with an air of confidence. The woman had a lighter shade of chestnut hair and blue crystaline eyes that shown brightly when she saw the Moutos.
The man and woman whirled around when they heard the door closed behind Yumi.
"Yugi! We weren't expecting you until later"said the woman surprisingly.
" The flight was earlier than what I had expected"he replied, "Long time since we've seen eachother, right?"
"Is 15 or 14 years long to you?"asked the man raising his eyebrows who was of course none other than Seto Kaiba himself. In the flesh.
Looks like after all of these years, Seto hadn't lost his trademark cockiness. But Yugi seemed unfaze by that.
The woman next to him, who is his wife, gave him a warning look.
"Still as same as ever, eh Seto?"asked Matoko as she silenty laughed.
" I certainly don't think these years while the two of you were gone did any change to him"said the woman sighing in defeat. She rolled her eyes when she said that. But the corners of her lips were quirking up and fighting a grin.
"I resent that"Seto said to his wife.
The siblings were standing in the background, listening to their conversation. "I think they've completely ignored us"muttered Yumi to her brother. Hiro nodded while having a defeated sigh at the same time.
He absent-mindly rubbed the golden, 3-D shape, upside-down pyramid that was hung on a chain around his neck. A flicker of light glint in the golden eye and a ghostly-like figure appeared.
"Hi Yami, "said the twins.
Yami smiled his trademark smile and nodded. "Where are we?"asked Yami looking around silently.When his eyes landed on Kaiba, he got the answer to his question. "We're in Japan"Yami said as a familiar glow in his eyes lit up. The twins nodded again. "Kaiba looks older. But I doubt that his attitude has changed at all"said Yami as he looked Seto over with an observant gaze.
" You know him?"asked Yumi.
"Know him? We were arch rivals. We always duel when your father and I were still sharing a body"Yami said.
Now the siblings were interested. As Yami told the pair more about the past, Yugi called them over.
"So they're your children. I've only seen pictures of them when they were two."said Mrs. Kaiba as her azure eyes sparkled with memory.
"This is Hiroshi and Yumiko. Everyone else calls them Hiro and Yumi. They're both 17 and fraternal twins."Masako said pointedly to each of her children.
"Hello,"said Yumi . Her brother followed on with the greeting.
"Nice to meet you"said Hiro.
"You look very much like your father except... your eyes, they're silmilar to Yami's."observed the woman. Yami became visible after her heard that.
In his ghostly form, only people who pocesses magic will be able to see him good enough. "Hello, Anzu, Kaiba"Yami said and then added with an air of mock cockiness, "And it's my influence to Yugi to make him with more conviction to do somethings. It got passes into Hiro as well"
"Oh, really:asked Yugi, mock glaring at Yami.
"Really"
"You haven't aged at all. Just like before. "said Anzu.
"Yes, though his character is the same as ever"said Kaiba.
Looks like Kaiba's at it again.
"And you don't? Might I remind you that I'm a couple of millennias older"asked Yami raising an eyebrow with an aura of challenging attitude.
Kaiba arched an eyebrow as his stony face began to show. Anzu decided to cut in. " Why don't we make up for loss time and talk about what happened through the years?" suggested Anzu as a familiar of an eyebrow twitching. She had clearly dealt with this kind of situation before when she was in her high school days. Seto and Yami had never exactly gotten along.
"This talk might bore you, kids. Why don't you wait outside?"said Matoko. The teens nodded and marched out the door.
"Matoko, we've got to talk about the happenings of the years. Let's talk there?"said Anzu gesturing to the round table in the back corner.
It's been such a long time since Matoko had talk to any of her friends here at Domino face to face. They certainly have many things to discuss.
"You've read my mind,"Matoko said as the both ladies linked arms together.
The men resumed to their conversation.
"Never thought to see the day when you would ask Anzu for her hand in marriage." Yugi said looking at Kaiba with a teasing twinkle in his eyes.
Yami nodded in agreement.
"Things had changed when we were nearing the end of high school. Anzu hadn't told anyone about our relationship until Jou inconviently found out. But I found a way around to ask her for her hand in marriage."Seto said as he recalled his memories.
" I suppose he must've been overjoyed at the idea that one of his best friends is going out with his enemy" Yugi said sarcastically.
"Yes, indeed he was"Seto said dryly.
"He was even more pissed off on my marriage day"he said as he recalled Jou's angry face. Which he basically ignored at the wedding,"I didn't really want to invite him. But Anzu insisted."
Yugi and Yami chuckled. That wasn't very suspecting and coming from Jou, no less. They had remembered the scene quite too well. Seto and Jou were...are.. still rivals. The only reason he tolerated his presence was because of Anzu.
" Well, enough of Anzu and I. Honda and Jounouchi Shizuka got married. Junouchi wasn't happy about that either. No surprise. Why must he interfere with everyone's love life?" Seto said.
Yugi gaped. Honda had actually had the guts to ask Shizuka to marry him. Even though he knew he might not live through the wedding with Jou after him. Yami just had an amusing expression.
" How did you and Matoko managed out in New York?" Seto asked. He had his workers form a branch over there, a couple of years back.
Yugi's expression changed back to a normal one. " It was fantastic! I currently have a large enough game store in New York, Mouto TechDuel. I have a few branches in the states. I was thinking of starting some more in Asia. That's one of the reasons why I came back to Domino City." he said, briefly explaining the situation.
Seto nodded as Yugi spoke. " Kaiba Corps. have developed a way to use duel monsters in a Shadow Realm type of mode. I got my basic idea from how Dartz made his duel disks." They all hardened their eyes when that name occurred. Seto continued on by saying" I heard that Pegasus made new cards but they are only available in America. I just had some imported back to Japan."
"Interesting. Are the duel disks out in the market yet?" Yami asked as Yugi nodded.
"Not yet. There needs to be some quick changes first. I had Mokuba tested them out first." Seto said.
"Say, is Mokuba the president of Kaiba Corps or you are?" Yugi asked.
"I'm still the current president. Mokuba is the co-president with me. My son, Kouji, is the vice-president of Kaiba Corps. My children are helping out now since they're old enough" Seto said.
"Say, where are your children?"Yami asked, "I can sense them near here"
Seto raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? My son should be at Kaiba Corps. right now. My daughter is around the mansion.".
"Yes, I'm positive. I can sense your son's presense. He seems to be near Hiro and Yumi." Yami said as he closed his eyes to double check.
After he said that, a sound from out the door startled everyone. "What was that?" Matoko asked as she and Anzu came back. They were just conversing casually until they heard a semi-immense bang from out the door.
"We don't know" Yugi said.
A low mumuring was hearded from outside the double oak doors. As they walked nearer, the onimous sound grew louder.
Yugi opened the doors and the sound became definte. It sounded like arguing. It just happened to be Yumi and a guy who was a spitting image of Seto, but younger.
"Yumi?"Yugi and Masako said in unison, utterly confused.
"Kouji?" Seto and Anzu said, also utterly confused.
"Hiro, what are you doing?"Yami asked.
Hiro sweatdropped. "Standing?"
Yami nodded, "Exactly, while you should've ceased the arguing from the both of them".
The fathers barked out to them to stopped the arguing.
The adults didn't have to ask why they were fighting because the two teens were seething in anger.
It wasn't exactly a typical expression of anger. The guy who was called Kouji and Yumi had an icy exterior on and giving eachother a death glare, which could kill. The cause was probably atrocious. They didn't need a further explanation, which they aren't interested to know except the purpose right now is to desist their controversy.
The both of them ceased arguing when the heard their fathers.
Yugi and Seto ordered their own children to apologize.
"Sorry,"mumbled the teens. Though they didn't mean one word of it.
Seto sighed and raked his hand tiredly through his hair.
"I can see that your children had been introduced to my son" Seto said sarcastically.
Yugi nodded back, with the least bit of humor.
Anzu tried to lighten the mood by saying," Yugi, Matoko, Yami, this is our son, Kouji. He's the same age as Hiro and Yumi, I believe. He's attending Domino High School. Hiro and Yumi would be attending there as well, I presume.".
"I'm sure that Yumi and Kouji had a misunderstanding. Right, Yumi" Matoko said reverting her attention back to her daughter and giving her a quiet enraged demeanor. The look means that the mother is feeling very irk about her daughter or son and is blowing off steam now.
"Yes, kaa-san" Yumi said, abruptly. She've seen that look practically every week of her life. Due to the fact that she disputes with her brother every single day.
"Now, why don't you three go downstairs to talk. You can have a fresh start. Forget that fight. We'll join you downstairs in a moment. Kouji would lead the way." Anzu said as she looked directly at her son when she had spoken.
Kouji sent a 'I will' look back at her. His mother didn't often speak to him that tone. He wasn't the trouble maker in the family, his younger sister was.
He walked to the direction to the living room, with Hiro and Yumi following him. "Well! I'm sure they'll get along just fine now" Matoko said, optomistic.
"You think!"Anzu asked, incredulously.
"Maybe".
Anzu just sighed and threw her hands up.
Living Room
As the three teens walked down the steps, two of them were glaring at eachother. Actually, glaring through Hiro. Hiro was sandwiched in the middle of Yumi and Kouji.
"Can you two stop that?"Hiro asked.
Yumi reverted her attention back to her brother. Now she was glaring at him.
"Why weren't you defending my words back there, dear brother." Yumi said.
Hiro winced and then chuckled. "It was fun to watch, if you asked me." Hiro said.
Yumi ignored the comment. "Well, obviously, you know him"
Kouji decided that it was his turn to talk now. " I met Hiro when he came to Tokyo for a end of the year trip, a few months back. I was at Tokyo at that time. We met and talked at the Tokyo Tower where tourists were.".
Hiro nodded and carried on. "We found out that our parents knew eachother. He told me that he heard from Kaiba-san that our tou-san was going to move to Japan for a while. They had already planned the trip. Tou-san had specifically told me not to tell you"
"Why not?" Yumi asked.
Hiro rolled his eyes in exasperation. "I have no idea why. Surprise?".
Yumi nodded. Then she frowned when she turned her face towards Kouji as they reached the end of of the stairs. "Due to the misunderstanding between Kaiba and I, I am still not talking friendly to him because he is an oversize egotastic prick".
Kouji shot her a patented Kaiba look, which he learned from his father and Mokuba. He retorted back," That's fine with me and you are an annoying bubble-brain headed cheerleader."
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
Hiro sighed. This day is going to be long. With them arguing, it'll be even longer. Also he is starting to receive a migraine. Is this really hate at first sight to you?
