Hi guys. This is my first fanfiction so it may not be the best. There are a few concepts I know some people won't like. Just bare with it and get through the first few chapters. Trust me when I say it will get better.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or any of its characters. I do own the ideas and most of the personalities of characters. There are some characters who share the name of a Yugioh character, but they are not exactly the same personality wise. Some are very different.
There is also small swearing and implied abuse.
Summery: AU
In a universe of magic and multiple realms, there is one human realm. This realm is dedicated to multiple different human like realms. The main one has next to no magic. If magic does seep in, it is for a reason unknown to all creatures.
In this universe, there are three particular souls who cause change.Small or big, they are important.
These three souls have been reborn multiple times. This time, in the no magic human world, these souls have become human. A multi-billionaire teenager, a year away from adulthood. A seventeen year old boy with a physically and emotionally abusive childhood, only wanting a simple life. And a girl with a sexually abusive childhood and a split personality, only wanting to keep her biggest secret safe.
But when these three meet, will good spill from the wounds brought upon them? Or will secrets and things unknown to them unfold?
Please enjoy!

"Oh sorry!"
She glanced behind her, glimpsing the blonde hair of her 'attacker'. She smiled a little to show she wasn't hurt.
"It's fine," she muttered, turning back to her books, which were now sprawled across the classroom floor. "I probably should have looked where I was going beforehand."
She then picked up her books and left the class before the boy could speak to her again. She didn't need the interaction.
Ryou, a girl with the name of a boy. An albino who could withstand the sun and had startling blue eyes. She was highly attractive, to her disappointment, but purposely wore black leather to scare men away. She was an innocent and shy girl, having moved from countless places in her life. Her father had no time to raise her and her mother and only sister were dead. She had traveled almost all over the world but had never settled.
She could never stay in one place, no matter how much she wanted to stay. Japan was a nice place so far, but it was only a matter of time before it happened.
Ryou sighed and walked to a hidden alcove with one tree in it. She sat with her back against it and rested her eyes. She should probably start making friends but, what was the point if she were to leave in only a few weeks time?

"Aw man," he scratched the back of his head while smiling sheepishly, "I still feel bad for knocking the new girl."
"You apologised didn't you?" his only female friend Téa asked.
"Yeah of course."
Joey Wheeler grinned and looked to the exit of the classroom. He couldn't help but be intrigued by the white haired girl. She was strange…
The bell ringed loudly, making him jump.
"I got to go," he said to his friends while waving.
He heard Tristan mutter something but his friend didn't stop him. On the way out though, he ran into a tall jerk of a guy.
"Watch it mutt."
Joey glared at the brunette but Seto Kaiba only gave a cold smirk. The CEO of Kaiba Corp kept walking and Joey stood there scowling. He hated Kaiba. In so many different ways. But it's not like he could do anything against the guy. He was too rich and too controlling. Joey would probably be sent to prison if he even laid a finger on the guy.
Frustrated, Joey left the building with his hands in his pockets. He winced a little as he walked, gently rubbing his shoulder. Two bumps in one day almost simultaneously had caused his bruises from that morning to rear up.
See, Joey lived in an abusive home. He lived with only his father, who had alcohol and drug addictions. The man had no job nor did he really leave the house. He would drink all day and yell at the boy all night. If Joey didn't do what he was told, a beating would come his way.
And his father always found a way to punch him.
But Joey was a pretty good fighter himself and a lot of the time he could get away before anything severe happened. Either by knocking his dad out or running. Though he wouldn't be welcome home for a few days if that were the case, so a lot of the time he just went through with it. He couldn't trouble Yugi and the others with his burdens.
Life away from home was great though. He had a mother and sister who he could never see somewhere else in Japan. Serenity, as his sister's name, would sometimes sneak down here to see him. They were probably the best days of his life. Then there's Yugi, Téa and Tristan, all three always there for him. His best friends.
And then there was also this.
Joey stood in front of a dark, narrow alley like place. It was behind the school buildings, between the main building and senior year buildings. No one ventured this far nor did anyone hang around this area. It was known for fighting, drug dealers and even kidnappings for the forest that backed the school was right over the gate.
The blonde boy walked in, not afraid. Though he may have shivered a little as the darkness surrounded him like a cold blanket. He wasn't a fan of the dark. Or scary things. But they allowed someone to do what they had to do so he put up with it.
Halfway in, he saw the faint silhouette of someone else. He stopped, removing his hands from his pockets. He squinted a little just to check if it was the right person.
When he saw the dark blue school uniform crisp and pristine, he knew it was the right person. Relaxing, he leaned against the wall. His mismatched eyes must have flashed a little when the person stood in front of him, up against the other wall for the tight space.
"I didn't think you'd show up," the brunette said with a coy smile.
"Well I had already told Yug and the other's I was coming so I couldn't really back out could I?"
Seto Kaiba let his eyes drift to a spot behind Joey.
"You could have hidden for the break or simply told them it was cancelled."
"But then they would ask questions as to what this is or who told me."
"I'm sure you could have bluffed out."
Joey crossed his arms now, the CEO's constant smirk annoying him. Maybe he should have just done something else. But he knew he would have to come. Or else it would be worse the next day.
Honestly, Kaiba was almost as bad as his father in demanding what he wanted when he wanted then punishing Joey the next day.
"We've wasted about ten minutes," Kaiba muttered in his monotone voice.
Joey glanced up at the slightly taller man, hair in his eyes. He hated Kaiba for this. He just wished the blue eyed CEO could go someplace else. Work at Kaiba Corp full time or something like that.
Or at least chose someone else to torment.
The blonde shuddered softly as the brunette wrapped an arm around his waist, lips on his. He could feel himself being pushed further against the wall, as usual. But just because he didn't like being used completely, the boy lifted his arms over the other and wrapped them around his neck. He felt Kaiba stiffen a little, which made Joey smile through the kiss.
He hated Kaiba. He hated the CEO so much so he almost loved him. It was the same for Kaiba. But both of them only did this because they knew they both felt the same. And as much as they hated each other, they enjoyed this too much.
Joey stifled a gasp as the brunette managed to get his tongue in his mouth. Joey was always too aware he had realized. So he kissed the boy back just to get the thoughts from his mind. But his mind once again turned to their bodies, for one arm was starting to snake up the blonde's back. Joey managed to pull out just for that second.
"Hey, maybe you could slow down a littl-" He was cut off by the other boy kissing his neck instead.
Joey didn't mean to grumble a little as Kaiba worked his way down. But Joey wouldn't let him get very far either for he wasn't giving Kaiba all control. So he pulled the CEO back up and locked lips with him again, just to stop the sexual arousing. He could hold back somewhat if it was up.
Though it seemed Kaiba was purposely trying to play with him for next thing the blonde knew a hand was fiddling with his pants. Joey decided then that was enough for one day.
He quickly pulled the brunette's hands away and slipped around to the other side of the alley.
"Done already puppy?"
Joey glared but he was already feeling tired. Why did Kaiba have to drain him so much? Mentally and physically.
"We still have two classes left. I would like to look somewhat normal."
Kaiba leaned against the other wall, smirking again. He didn't seem bothered at all. Almost as if he was enjoying Joey's complaining. But Joey knew that was just an act before he hit him with a cold remark.
"We still have another thirty minutes," the boy muttered, smirking all the way.
"And as I said, I would prefer not to be drained."
Kaiba rose an eyebrow at this.
"Strange. Usually you go right up to the bell, sometimes even forcing me to stay a little longer afterwards. What has changed your mind I wonder?"
Joey made to retort but then his words settled in. This was strange behaviour from him. Joey did usually keep the thing going for longer than needed. He was the one who started the whole thing by getting Kaiba out here.
So why change now? Was he tired of it? Or had something else come up…
"Yugi wanted to speak to me about something before class," he lied. "I guess it's nagging at me and stopping me from being normal, you know?"
"I'm sure the dweeb can wait."
Joey glared again. Kaiba still wouldn't stop insulting his friends, no matter how hard Joey tried to get him to stop. Another thing he hated about the guy.
"Maybe we should just wait for tomorrow…" Joey muttered, pushing off the wall. "I'll try not to complain much."
Joey made to walk away but he stopped when a cold hand grabbed his arm. He didn't know why his breathing sped up when Kaiba moved behind him.
"Or you can just get it over with now and I'll give you a free day tomorrow."
The blonde froze. Kaiba was suggesting a free day? Since when did he do that?
"Alright." Joey turned back around, smirking. "You have a deal."

A few hours later and Seto Kaiba was in his office at Kaiba Corp, tapping away on his computer. His office was a spacious room with one giant desk in the middle of the room. A giant black leather swivel chair sat behind it and behind that a wall of glass, looking over Domino City. The eighteen year old business man was always in his office, always on the computer. Even when his little brother Mokuba came in, he only put it down for a few moments.
Kaiba sat back as he finished the document. He rubbed his eye as for it was trying to close with sleep. He sighed, only just realising his office had turned grey with nightfall. Standing, he closed his laptop and put it in his bag, leaving the office.
The blue eyed boy called his limo and sat in the backseats, thoughts drifting elsewhere.
He had noticed the new girl. Ryou Bakura. A boy's name for such a small, attractive woman. He half thought that maybe the parents had given her a boy name to turn men away. Almost protecting her. But he wasn't sure and he didn't delve on it. Ryou would have a lot to get used to around here if she were to stay. But he had done a little research on her and found she barely stayed two weeks in one place.
He had found multiple interesting and questionable things about her actually…
The CEO remembered earlier that day when the dweeb patrol noticed her for the first time. No one had really seen Ryou properly, even when she came in. Kaiba only knew her looks well for he paid attention to her as a new kid. But it seemed a touch brought her into full clarity, for when Wheeler knocked into her he saw her as clear as day. And Kaiba hadn't missed the flash of interest in the boy's eyes.
Now as much as Seto Kaiba enjoyed his time with the mutt in the danger zone of school, he didn't particularly like the boy. He hated the blond through and through. It was only that time in the alley that his hatred turned to interest. But even then, he played with the blond more than loved him.
So if Wheeler did happen to grow an interest for Ryou, then Kaiba wouldn't care. He may like to own the mutt as it is now, but Kaiba was going to find a girlfriend eventually.
Honestly, he didn't even know why he was attracted to the mutt much less kiss him that way. He was a boy after all. Kaiba was straight in his mind and Wheeler was just a small side project that forced him to be gay for those forty minutes of lunch break.
The white limo pulled up at the Kaiba Mansion. The CEO stepped out and found Mokuba already opening the door to hug him.
"You're coming home later and later Seto," his brother scolded as they walked through the house. "If you can't do it all at work before normal home hours then do some in you school breaks."
"And you think you can persuade me into listening?" Seto teased, making Mokuba huff in annoyance. "Mokuba, I have something I would like you to do."
His small brother looked up at him with curiosity and excitement.
"What?"
"There is a girl I want you to look into. Her name is Ryou Bakura."

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed and please review. If enough of you liked it, I'll publish the next chapter. There is magic coming. The first chapter is just full of introductions.
I'm sorry if people don't like female Ryou but I had to for the story. Originally she was male, but considering a few things that happened magic wise, I had to change the gender.
But do review and keep reading!
