Hello happy readers. I finally got around to finishin chapter two. Sorry it took so long. I got preoccupied with test, laziness, sickness, work, and well…mostly just laziness. Lately I haven't had much motivation to do anything besides stare at my ceiling. Did you know there's this funny stain on there that looks like half an ass! LOL! Just like cloud watchin only less creative and vulgar.
Oh yes! I do want to say that I am so happy all of you liked the idea for this fic! As a matter a fact, this fic wasn't on my list for fics I've been meaning to write, but low and behold the idea just popped in my head. However, I was a little stumped for awhile considering this was on of those spur of the moment fics, but over the long time that I waited to update (gomen for the wait), I finally got it all written in my head!
HeeHee ( :)
:Evil Grin:
Oh boy do I have plans of torture, umm I mean content! This fic is turning out to be real fun to write, and I hope you guys continue to enjoy it! Thanks again for all the reviews!
Disclaimer: My legal consultant (lawyer is such a harsh word) told me that I have no legal right to claim Yugioh or any of it's characters. He also told me that I should stop running over small animals and it's not healthy to have pictures of Yami, Jouchan, and Seto posted all over my room, but what's he know? Okay so he has a Harvard degree and a doctrine in law, but so what! I have pictures of Yami, Jouchan, and Seto all over my room so I've got him beat! Take that Harvard Diploma. :Throws dueling deck at framed diploma on lawyer's wall, shatters it into a million pieces, and runs away frantically like she didn't do anything: Gomen! (;)
That's What Makes the World Go Round and Round
Chp2 Worse Day I Never Had
"Seto, what's the matter?" Mokuba questioned.
The taller boy only answered with silence as he stared at the counter in a daze. Not certain how to handle the situation, Mokuba bit the inside of his cheek and tried to decide what to do. Finally, Seto slowly closed his eyes and let out a strained breath.
"It's nothing."
"What do you mean, 'it's nothing'?" Mokuba exclaimed. "Seto, you look like you just saw a ghost!"
"Don't worry about it. I think I'm just a little stressed out. That's all."
Mokuba let out an irritated growl and was about to protest before Seto brought a hand up to stop him. "I'm just going to have my coffee, get to class, and try to make it through this damn day. So don't make things worse for me."
"Fine!" Mokuba huffed. He then twirled around angrily and silently sulked to himself. Seto merely gave his brother an empty look, however it was a complete fabrication of what turmoil lied within.
'I can't believe this! What is going on? This has to be some kind of mistake. But I don't think Mokuba is trying to trick me, so then what can this mean? Is my mind playing tricks on me?'
"Umm Seto…" Mokuba half whispered, pulling the brooding Kaiba from his thoughts.
"Nani?"
"Well I…."
"Mokuba if you have something to say, just spit it out. You know how I hate it when people beat around the bush!" Seto snapped sharply. Right now Seto had too many things to worry about, and listening to his fumbling brother was the last thing on his mind.
"WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE THIS TO YUUGI WHEN YOU GO TO SCHOOL!" Mokuba blurted, before he shoved a package twice as large as Seto's into the unsuspecting brother's lap and took off running.
"What the fu-" Seto choked out. He had been so preoccupied with his thoughts he almost forgot that this was coming. Then again, how was it that he already knew this was going to happen, was a mystery to the teen.
"I think I'm losing my mind."
:Next Scene:
"Kaiba-sama! Oh Kaiba-sama!"
Seto continued to walk off, genuinely unaware of the girl who was running just to keep up with him. Ever since Seto had set foot outside his mansion, the boy had been floating around in a daze. Now completely unaware of his surroundings, the teen only made it to class due to instinct.
"Kaiba-sama!"
"WHAT!" Seto shouted as he twirled around only to run into the girl chasing after him.
"OH! I'm so sorry Kaiba-sama! I didn't mean to run into you!" The girl exclaimed with a squeal as she picked herself off the ground and began to bow pathetically. "I should have been watching where I was going."
"It's you…" Seto gasped as he suddenly remembered where this was headed.
"You know me!" The girl exclaimed in surprise as her face brightened by about three shades.
"Well…sort of…"
Seto had to take a step back as the girl's eyes began to gloss over and reflect a light so powerful it was almost blinding. "Seto Kaiba actually knows who I am!"
An internal groan sounded from the teen, as he realized this girl was more annoying then the first time they met.
"Umm, Kaiba-sama…" the girl stuttered nervously as she finally recovered a bit of her sense. "Th-This is for you."
"No thanks."
"Wh-what?" the girl half choked out.
"Let me be straight with you. I'm not interested. So I'd rather not lead you on by accepting this. Now take your candy and go back to class."
"B-but-"
The girl gave Seto a helpless glance that the boy remembered all to well. The girl's eyes then glossed over as she finally gave up and turned away.
"Even when he's being cold he's still so cool," the lovesick girl mumbled as she walked away.
Seto merely rolled his eyes just before a light cackle stole his attention.
"Why Seto Kaiba. That almost sounded rehearsed."
"Maybe it was," Seto replied as he faced the smirking yami.
"Sort of like déjà vu these holidays can be, hn?" the spirit winked.
Seto narrowed his eyes on the leering tomb raider as he noticed his face had darkened immensely. "What are you talking about? Do you know something?"
"Well sure I do," Bakura grinned.
"TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!" Seto snapped as he grabbed Bakura by the front of his shirt, knocking several gifts off his desk.
Bakura's smile only deepened as he slapped Seto's hands away and spoke up. "First…smile brightly at each other, and then slowly drop your pants…"
"WHAT!" Seto blurted out of pure confusion.
"Don't peek at each other, and finish facing front…"
Seto felt a vein in his forehead twitch as Bakura leaned in close to his face and smiled darkly. "That's how to use a Chinese toilet. That's all I know"
"WHY YOU-"
"Okay class, take your seats. Put the treats away and I'll pretend I didn't see them. Class is starting now," the teacher announced as he interrupted the oncoming dispute. He then turned towards Seto and frowned. "Kaiba please stop pestering Bakura and return to your seat, and as for all the Otogi fan club members. Please see your way back to class."
Seto merely growled under his breath as he reluctantly returned to his seat, ignoring the cackling Bakura who was waving him off.
"I think I really hate that guy."
:Next Scene:
Seto frowned at his locker, and he debated on not opening it. Eventually giving up, Seto proceeded to open it before a familiar bushel of blonde hair appeared before him.
"Well if it isn't the puppy."
"Go screw yourself!" the infuriated teen barked.
"Hmm," Seto mumbled as he turned away from Jonouchi.
'Sure I knew he was going to say that. He says that everyday, but that still doesn't explain everything else that's going on. Could this be what people call… déjà vu? That's what it has to be, no matter how extreme it is. What other explanation do I have?'
"Uhh Kaiba…" Jonouchi whispered as he pulled Seto from his thoughts. "Umm…I…"
"Spit it out pup," Seto commanded sharply, as he decided this time he was going to hear what the boy had to say. However, by then Jonouchi had already directed his attention to the package in Seto's hand.
"Oh this is for Yuugi."
"For Yuugi?" Jonouchi echoed back, however his voice seemed a bit pained. "You got Yuugi a Valentine's present?"
"No you idiot. This is from Mokuba."
"From Mokuba?"
"Yes, do you have a hearing problem?" Seto spat back. Now that the boy had finally coped with the fact that déjà vu was fooling his mind into believing these events had already occurred, his patience was completely lost.
"By the way," Seto added as he realized he could change one more thing about his day. "Would you give this to him for me."
Jonouchi blinked at the gift and took it before he stuffed it in his locker and faced Seto once again.
"Oh well… then…." started Jonouchi as the same lost look covered what Seto thought to be a blush.
However, he was soon cut off as Seto's locker door flew open, spewing out a countless number of cards, packages, candies, and other various treats.
"Not this shit again!" Seto bellowed as he suddenly realized he forgot to secure his locker. "Every year it's the same damn thing, and no matter what kind of security lock I put on it, they always do it! Next year I'm arming this thing with lasers!"
"Wha?" Jonouchi sputtered as he stared at all the gifts in horror. "Whatcha getting your panties all bunched up for? They're just Valentine's presents."
"Yeah, well I can do without them!" Seto huffed as he kicked the gifts to one side.
"And why is that?" Jonouchi snapped in a strangely offended tone.
"Why is it any of your business?" Seto retorted, before he narrowed his eyes and sneered at the boy. "Let me guess. It's because you're one of those lovesick idiots who only gathers enough courage to do stupid irrational things just because you think covering up your idiocy with a gift will make everything all right!"
"So what if I am?" Jonouchi bit back. "What's so wrong with that?"
"Go develop a back bone you chump!" Seto snorted, as he seemed unaffected by Jonouchi's rage. "There's plenty wrong with that overplayed scenario."
At this remark, Jonouchi let out a loud shout and punched his locker shut missing Seto's face by a few centimeters. The brunette, however, didn't even bat an eye as the blonde glared icicles through him.
"GODS SETO KAIBA! WHY DO YOU HAVE BE SUCH AN IMPOSSIBLE ASS!" Jonouchi thundered. He then dashed past Seto without another word, only this time Seto was not surprised and cared even less then before.
"Prima dona."
:Next Scene:
"Well, I must say. I'm glad that this day is almost over…again! Now I can get to work, go home, and finally end this hellish nightmare."
"Oof!" sounded a voice from behind Seto, causing him to once again lose his train of thought.
"Clumsy," Seto snorted as he glanced over at the stunned Ryou.
"I guess I was carrying too much stuff to see where I was going," Ryou laughed nervously.
Seto hesitated for a moment as he watched Ryou attempt to pick himself off the ground while trying to hold his gifts, only to slip and fall again.
"Dumb ass" Seto finally muttered as he realized he had made the mistake of actually considering to help him. "Him and his Yami can both go to hell."
:Next Scene:
"Kaiba-san!"
Seto groaned as he recognized the man racing towards his limo. However, this time when the man reached out to catch his door Seto shouted.
"Iwasaki!"
"What?" The man blurted surprised by the fact Seto knew his name.
Seto gave the man a devilish smirk causing him to shudder. It was then that he realized what had happened as he watched Seto's door slam in his face and he was left to contemplate on the cloud of dirt the limo left behind
:Next Scene:
"What do you need Komae?"
"Uh…well…Kaiba san..."
Seto groaned to himself, as he listened to the stammering woman. Never one to put up with his employees excuses, hearing this one again left the young CEO a little more than impatient.
"Komae, how long have you been working for me?"
"A little over a year sir," the woman trembled, as she was almost certain she didn't like where the conversation was headed.
"Well then if that's so, I would think you would have realized by now if you want to tell me something, it would be wise to spit it out within a two second latency."
"OH! Well! Kaiba san, it's just that my boyfriend won some Tackey & Tsubasa tickets today on the radio, so I was wondering if I could maybe get off an hour early today."
Once again Seto didn't say anything, causing the secretary to further explain herself.
"And I just thought that since it was Valentines Day-"
"You could steal an hour's worth of work from me," the brunette interrupted as he leaned back in his seat and stared up at her calmly.
"No sir! I would never do something like that!"
"Well that's funny, because I would have sworn that you just came into my office with the notion that just because of some silly holiday I was going to let you off of work early."
"Well I just thought-"
"Leave that to me, and the filing to you, because I most definitely would never pay you to do any thinking on my behalf." Seto replied dryly. He then paused for a moment as he suddenly recalled that the last time he went through this, he had decided it was high time he looked for a new secretary.
"As a matter a fact," The brunette added. "I don't see any need to pay you anything considering you no longer work for me."
"WHAT?" Komae exclaimed as she slammed her hands down on his desk. "You can't just fire me because I asked you if I could get off early. That's not even fair."
Seto stared at Komae's hands mordantly before he looked back at the woman and raised a brow. "As I recall, this is my company, and I can do what ever I damn well please."
"Why you arrogant, cold hearted, prude!"
Seto merely pushed the button to his intercom and spoke into it calmly. "Security. Could you please escort Mrs. Myoji out?"
"WHY YOU ASSHOLE!" Komae thundered as she was dragged out the office. "You'll be sorry for this!"
After the sounds of the enraged woman could no longer be heard, Seto smirked to himself. For some strange reason, he was actually starting to feel a little better.
"Aww and to change one more little detail," Seto mumbled as he pushed his intercom button again.
"Yes sir. What else do you need?"
"I need you to check the engine of my limo and see if there are any other problems."
"Yes sir."
"Heh. Who says I can't make my own fate," Seto chuckled smugly as he leaned back in his seat.
:Next Scene:
"I'm sorry Mr. Kaiba, but we have a flat."
"Well then fix it so we can be on our way!" Seto snapped back.
"Well I don't think I can really do that…" the driver trailed while avoiding Seto's angry eyes.
"And why not?"
"Well we only have two spares, and all four tires are flat."
"WHAT?" Seto exclaimed.
"It appears someone has slashed your tires sir."
"Why that skinny little bitch!" Seto cursed as he realized what happened.
"FINE! Get someone over here to fix it. Until then, I'll be over there," Seto instructed as he pointed to a small diner across the street without even looking to see if it was there.
:Next Scene:
"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself." Seto glared ice at the teen causing the boy to shudder and hunch back in his seat. "Whoa, who pissed on your duel disk?"
"So, what can I get for you, blue eyes?" smiled a large foreign looking woman with a bad Japanese accent.
"I just want some coffee."
"Oh but you look so skinny! You need to add some homemade American style cooking to those skinny bones!"
"I said I just wanted-"
"I know!" The woman shouted as she rudely cut Seto off. "How about some of what Jou-Jou is eatin there?"
"How about you just kill me now or would you prefer to poison me with that crap you call food?" Seto retorted sharply.
"My, my blue eyes. Ain't you got an attitude?" The woman snorted before she handed him his cup. She then rolled her eyes at the boy before she redirected her attention to Jonouchi.
"So Jou-Jou, how did your extra special plan work out today?"
"OH! Well you see…"
The woman's voices began to fade out, as Seto stared at his cup and silently sulked. At this point Seto was completely fed up, as he realized that the impossible was happening. He was actually having a worse day today then he did yesterday, or at least worse then the illusionary day he imagined he already had.
It wasn't until Jonouchi pointed an accusing finger at him, that Seto was pulled from his daze.
"I'm not gonna get into this now. Not with him here!"
"Oh don't flatter yourself. I don't care about your little mundane theatrics. I haven't heard a single thing you ladies have been squabbling about," Seto replied honestly.
"OH MY! I didn't realize that he was here," the younger of the three woman gasped just before she dropped her tray.
"Well then I suggest you get glasses because I've been sitting here the whole time you blind twit."
"My. You are the bully Jonouchi said you to be," the woman frowned as she picked up the tray.
"Hmm, bully yes, but as I recall there are other people here with a much longer track record."
"Okay! So I admit. I'm not exactly a prince when it comes to that area, and I regret how I use to act before I met Yuugi, but even before that, I only physically abused people. I didn't emotionally hurt them also! So don't you dare compare yourself to me."
"Emotional abuse?" Seto echoed. He then let out a dry laugh, seemingly unfazed by Jonouchi's rage. "Don't tell me all the name calling hurts the poor little puppy's feelings. I thought you were tougher then that."
"It's just not the name calling! I can stand that!" Jonouchi spat back. "What I can't stand is name calling from the person that I-"
Jonouchi suddenly caught himself as he quickly bit his lower lip and turned away.
However, Seto was too far beyond the point of patience to care as he decided it was time to take out his frustrations.
"Listen mutt. I really don't care what you have to say, and I care even less about the fact that you're too gutless to tell some guy how you feel about him. So don't put me in the middle of your little homo-romantic issues. I have my own problems to worry about and you are the last person I would even dream of caring about. So you can take your Valentine's Day nonsense and shove it up your ass, or has you're little boyfriend already taken care of that for you?"
"Why you!" Jonouchi thundered as his face turned completely red. "You're nothing but a cold hearted jerk Seto Kaiba! You try to pretend that this holiday means nothing to you, but you know that's a lie. If that were true, you wouldn't get all extra worked up when it came around."
Seto didn't even bat an eye, as he realized that hearing this speech for a second time had even less affect then it did before. Jonouchi, however, didn't seem to care as he continued on.
"And you know the reason why today bugs you so much? Because you're nothing but a hateful person who can't stand to see people around you expressing themselves to the ones that they love! It just eats at you because deep down you know that you don't and never will have anyone in your cold life!"
At that point Jonouchi had already lost his restraints, as his voice was so loud everyone in the diner could hear him. Then again, the blonde was too rage stricken to notice.
Finally unable to contain himself, Jonouchi slammed a wad of money on the counter. However, what he did next completely threw Seto off.
"YOU HIT ME! You weren't supposed to hit me!" Seto shouted as he watched the furious Jonouchi storm out the diner.
"Why not? A little salty rich ass like you deserves to be knocked around a few times!"
Seto merely glared at the waitress, before he was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
"Mr. Kaiba sir. The limo is ready," his driver replied stoically. After being in Seto's service for the last four years, the driver had grown quit accustomed to scenes like this and thought it best not to question what was going on.
Seto glared at the man, and then at the rest of the room. Everyone quickly averted their gazes away from him, while a few people silently chuckled. Completely furious and a bit humiliated, Seto slammed some money down on the counter and made a quick exit.
:Next Scene:
"That little…" Seto hissed as he examined his now swollen eye. "Wait until I see him tomorrow. He'll be sorry."
"Niisan, are you sure you're alright?" Mokuba questioned as he handed his brother an ice pack.
"I am, physically…" Seto answered before his voice trailed off. He really didn't want to admit to his younger brother that his pride was injured far worse then his eye, considering he actually allowed Jonouchi to get his cheap shot in.
'It's my own fault. I got careless. I got too caught up in this freak reoccurrence of a day. Then again this just proves this is all in my head. Why else did things turn out so differently?'
"Maybe you should get some rest Seto. It's really late now anyways," Mokuba suggested.
"Yeah, I think I'll do that…" Seto sighed out tiredly. "Anything to end this day and put it all behind me…because I don't want to think about another stupid valentine for at least 364 more days…"
:Next Scene:
There weren't many times in the boy's life that Seto ever cried, but today was definitely one of those days he was ready to let it all out. As the anthem sounds of his alarm clock played his favorite song, Seto slammed the clock so hard against the wall it burst into pieces.
"If there's a god up there, he must be pointing and laughing…." Seto muttered.
"This just can't be happening. I can't believe-no I won't believe this is actually happening. There's just no possible way I can be reliving the same day over and over, there has got to be some logical explanation, and whatever it is, I'm going to find out! I won't let this beat me. I'm going to end this all, even if it's the last thing I do!
YOU HEAR ME!" Seto shouted as he leapt out of bed and waved his fist upwards into the air. "I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU BEAT ME! THIS ISN'T OVER!"
Upon hearing his brother shatter his clock against the wall, Mokuba went up stairs to check out what was going on. However, as he walked in, he couldn't help but roll his eyes as he watched his brother shout profanities at the ceiling and flail his fist around like a madman.
"Geez, and I thought he was egocentric before, but to take on heaven too…whatever."
To be continued…Aww. Poor Seto.
:snickers:
Seto: Poor who? Don't even sit here and pretend like you have a heart
Momo: Oh my, you're so right. There's no point in acting like I have any remorse for you. That I'm definitely going to prove in the next chapter
Seto: o.O
Momo: OHOHOHOHOHOHO
So anyways. Yeah, I feel a little bad that this chapter was a lot like the last one, but what did you expect? It's a fic about a time lapse in which one day constantly repeats itself. Plus Seto is such a mechanical overly rational guy who thinks the solution to everything unnatural is that the whole world is conspiring against him. So I figured at first he would handle this all pretty well and then slowly start to crack. But don't worry. After this day, things are definitely going to turn from the norm. Ohh man! I can't wait! The ideas just came spilling from the dark recesses of my evil calculating mind! WAHAHAHAHA! I'm gonna crack you like an egg baby!
Seto:Shudders:
I promise I will make it up to you guys, plus since most of you so advently expressed your love for long chapters, I plan on making them longer in the future. This one was a bit shorter because I wanted to end it here. I wanted to end it right before all the real craziness begins. So I hope you guys are looking forward to the next chapter. I'm going to try to get it out sooner to make up for takin so long on this one. I'm already almost done writing it!
Oh yes, and for you Cowboy Bebop fans, you might have recognized that Bakura Seto bit about the Chinese toilet from the manga. Yeah, I stole that scene, but not because I couldn't think of anything better, just because one day when I was sitting on the toilet reading manga (what? You guys don't do that?), I was reading that scene and just thought it would be perfect. That scene was so hilarious. That cop was so mad at Spike for smart mouthin him! XD!
So yeah, I ain't got nothing else to day besides I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I would just love it if you express your gratitude through many many reviews! Oh yes! I almost forgot! I have a huuuge favor to ask you guys.
Attention all raving Yugioh fans bordering on a possibly clinical obsession:
Currently I'm in the process of making a Yugioh doujinshi website. That's another thing that has been consuming my time recently. MAAAN it takes so LOOOOOOooooOOOng to scan those things! One manga on average takes 2 hours to scan and then convert over to my site, and that's just on average! My longest doujin is over 70 pages long so that's going to take me forever to scan (I'm purposely putting that one off).
Anyways, besides just havin doujinshi's I have some other fun stuff on my site. Such as quizzes, comedy section, quotes, and so forth, however there's this one section I wanted to do but have been stuck on.
Let me put it this way. Have any of you ever heard a song on the radio and thought to yourself, "Hey that song reminds me of my favorite Yugioh character"? Well have you? Anybody…somebody…I'm not the only who does that…am I? Well for those of you out there who say "HELL YEAH! I have taken my fandom to that extreme of a level and I'm damn proud!" then I'm talking to you.
I'm looking for theme songs for all the Yugioh characters. So far I have a few, but it doesn't matter if more then one character has more than one song. There are so many songs out there that remind me of my favorite anime characters! So if any of you have ideas, when you review could you please share them with me?
Of course I will give you full credit, and when I get around to finishing my site, I will personally send you a link to it! I also plan on postin the link on my fanfiction account page for anyone else that's interested in seeing it.
So, yeah. Just give me the title of the song and the name of the artist/artists and I'll take care of the rest. I do want to mention that I'm lookin for theme songs for each character individually. I'm not really looking for any relationships songs. Considering that the show doesn't really have any strong proof for love relationships, I don't want to dig for songs. I mean unless there one's that are pretty obvious. Such as Seto and Mokuba and Jou and Shizuka (as siblings), or Jou and Mai (I think that one's pretty obvious), and maybe even Yugi and Anzu/Anzu and Yami (that might even be digging deep). Sure I love all the Yaoi pairings, but I'm going to honestly say I don't think Kazuki Takhashi intended to make any of his characters gay, no matter how hard I would like to argue all the gayness and suggestiveness I've seen on that show!
So anways, I just want to say thanks in advance! I'm really curious as to what other fans think of all the characters! It's time to dig deep and analyze all the characters and find their perfect songs!
