Chapter 1
Fiends of Forever: 'Hallows Eve'

It was cold.

Dusk set upon Domino as it reached its own time to deteriorate into the darkness. The sun no longer made the city a warm welcome as it did before with a sunrise.All was being lost with another dayas itset behind the buildings and skyscraper Kaiba Corp. The city froze as if hit by the worlds biggest blizzard. It was beginning to freeze in the cooling evenening.

But nothing happened. Of course it got cold, but that was only natural from the sunless sky.

Blue darted to each person that passed by. Not caring if the world was under attack, the chocolate brunette kept walking to no destination at all.

The cloudless sky appeared to be haunting. A shrill wail filled the air as a young woman ran past the six foot man. He watched as she ran in terror, fear and most of all: fun.

A skeleton soon followed after her laughing. Kaiba paid no attention to the teenagers and their 'fun tactics' for Halloween. He grunted to himself and kept walking and only paid heed to the sidewalk in front of him.

Street lights went on illuminating the pathway to every street and home in its path. But not one of them led Kaiba to his own destination.

Silence blanketed the roads as jack-o-lanterns filled the rest of the darkness with deafening flames. Kaiba had no interest in the upcoming 'Hallows eve' around the corner. He could care less if anyone got burned on that day. It was a waste of his time and the time of everyone in the world. It meant nothing to go from door to door dressed up in foul and savage villains to enjoy the night with candy. It simply had no purpose.

HA - purpose. Nothing had purpose if it associated with Halloween. Purpose had no purpose on Halloween. What is a purpose if there is no purpose? Nothing.

That's all it was...Nothing.

Steady steps echoed off the barriers of stone. The park was not far off to his right as he stopped at an intersection. Loneliness filled the silence as he continued after seeing no cars to the right or left.

He wished he wasn't so alone.

Alone on the interior of his soul was slowly eating him away. He couldn't tell happiness from shallow sadness anymore. All that filled his living core was depression. Especially on Halloween; nothing was making sense to him anymore. Not even the purpose of life. It felt empty to walk alone at night. Knowing that the fact you are out here is to get away from the purpose of life. He couldn't take it anymore. Even his own brother wouldn't talk to him.

Mokuba entered the room closing the door behind him to Seto's home office. Books and shelves lined the walls as a lone desk filed the right side of the room. A couch was close to the middle accompanied by the TV in front of it.

"Seto?"

"What?" Kaiba looked up from the document he was working on from his laptop.

"Yugi and his-"

"Posse?" He grunted in saying the word.

"Will you stop acting like a five-year old!"

Kaiba's blue orbs slightly narrowed, "The only five-year old is you, for wanting to go to the stupid party."

"How did y-"

"I have my ways Mokuba and you can't go." Kaiba slightly smirked as he began working on his manuscript again. He heard slow footsteps leave the room along with the door slamming.

The blast of echoes snapped Kaiba to reality. Not once had he let Mokuba even explain why he wanted to go. Guilt masked his inner arrogant self. The thin line of lips that formed a smirk before faded. He slowly rose from his desk to find Mokuba quietly.

His room was empty as he opened the door and glanced in. He noticed the door to the balcony open slightly as he figured out that the little kid had escaped his sentence to being cooped up in the mansion.

Fear masked the guilt as before while he thought of all the maniacs that could kidnap his brother and do anything they wanted while his scream would fill the darkness of the night.

Kaiba rushed out of the house only clad in his black shirt and pants. Of course he knew where the party was. It was at the house of his most despised rival.

He slowly walked up to the door of the Game shop and knocked. He only had to wait a few seconds before the door opened revealing Yugi Moto.

"He's here."

Without even asking or saying anything Yugi left the door open and the space was instantly filled with a raven haired boy. He looked up at his bigger brother selfishly. "I'm so-"

"No."

The little boy stood with his face towards the ground ashamed. Kaiba spoke again.

"I should be apologizing. I am sorry Mokuba. I never let you do anything for I am afraid to let you go out of my own selfishness. You may stay here as long as you reach home at a decent time. Mr. Moto will watch you or he will regret even meeting me, or you."

"SEE that's your problem! I am not a kid anymore! I am fourteen now and YOU can stop telling everyone that you'll make their life agony if anything happens to me! I have friends now and they at least care about me to HANG OUT with me! THEY actually listen to ME! I'll see you in the morning!" The teenager slammed the door shut leaving the young CEO speechless.

Not once had Mokuba threatened to stay at someone's house, let alone leave his older brother in the dust of his own pity.

Kaiba looked at the ground in disgrace. He didn't know what to do. He left the spot in front of the Game shop and took his leave somewhere else.

Now sitting at a park bench he felt abandoned. He had tried to say sorry, but it came out in another argument. It was always like that. They hadn't even been in each other's company for more than five minutes. Kaiba was always busy working and building up his company while Mokuba was with his friends. They didn't have time for each other anymore. But that wasn't the case. He didn't have time for him anymore.

Kaiba listened to the rustle of the trees as the wind blew slightly. A single leaf fell off the tree and headed towards Kaiba's direction. He caught it in mid air before it hit his toned chest. He didn't deserve Mokuba. He doesn't deserve this feeling of being marooned. He hated it more than anything to see his own brother hate him for being an arrogant selfish jerk. But that was how he had been raised. He had no control over his self-temper or being. Whenever he wanted to even act nice...it always turned out in anger for the other person.

Icy pools looked at the cloudless sky. Halloween supposedly was in two days. He could at least try to be nice and do something.

That's when it hit him.

A party.

He could throw a party for his little brother and friends. But he didn't want to go through so much when there was work to be done.

No.

No. He will do the party. And that is the end of the end. Starting now, everything goes uphill instead of down.

The thin and muscular man stood up and clenched the leaf in his hand. He stood a couple of seconds before feeling a little dizzy and sitting down.

Maybe he should have eaten lunch and dinner today to get through till he'd have to go to sleep.

A swirling blackness disheveled his line of vision, before focusing on a lone figure between the trees of the park. The outline was quite clear of a man. But he didn't want to stay and find out.

He stood up again before hearing a mocking voice enter his head.

"Clear as darkness, Murky as spirits. Being one is more powerful as another."

The voice died down as he took as step to go home. In a few minutes this will be all over. The nightfall seemed to enclose his whole body. The same figure of a man stepped up to him before he fell to his knees.

Kaiba's head and body swayed from side to side as he felt a piercing sting on the right side of his neck. The figure backed up before shadowing in the surpass of trees. Thinking nothing happened but a strain in the neck from waking up; he stood and kept his aspect into getting home and falling into a dreamless sleep.
