Seto Kaiba threw his back pack down with a loud "thud", particularly sneered at his poor desk before slumped down on his seat. His back was still throbbing from the throw of that freak, his cheek was stung and his pride-plus-reputation was badly damaged. But on top of all, his head was boiling with anger and Seto, who was famous of his passion toward vengeance, had no intention to let the "incident" pass by without a word. In fact, the famous CEO was forming a very particular plan to hunt the girl down, no matter how lack of information he was. Busy with all the fury, the elder Kaiba didn't even notice that the whole class had already filled in, and most of them had been staring at him. Not that he cared. Seto used to be stared at, whenever and wherever. But that time, it bugged him. Probably because he knew why today the number of eyes locked at him had increased remarkably, and surely because he could sense that most of them were laced with humor and sarcasm.
-WHAT?!
Seto spat out, his voice was full of venom. Almost everyone darted their eyes away immediately, embarrassed. But the keyword was "almost". Snarled under his breath, Seto Kaiba turned to directly glare at Jounouchi Katsuya, who was obviously sniggering uncontrollably with a grinning Honda Hiroto patting his back continuously to prevent the said Katsuya from choking. Beside him, Yugi Mutou looked slightly worried, but was smiling with amusement none the less. Anzu Mazaki was particularly stuffed both of her fist into that loud mouth of hers, which helped nothing but made her body shook uncontrollably with stiffed laughter. Well, just as always, Yugi's precious (and extremely annoying) gang was making Seto seeing red, especially today…
-What what, Kaiba? Your ass hurts more or your ego hurts more??
Katsuya managed to spit out the comment between sniggers. Slamming his fist onto the poor desk, Seto Kaiba growled:
-You little piece of…
-Order! People! Order!!
Just great, the teacher had chosen the perfect moment to interrupt. Snarling, the elder Kaiba turned his glare to the book, basically burnt a hole through it. He let his anger boiled, bubbled in his head, completely ignorance to everything around…
…Until he heard the annoying burst of laughter from the Katsuya no Inu.
Immediately, Seto sent his famous death glare to the dog, prepare to slam his fist into that mouth, regardless of whatever the teacher would have to say. But Katsuya was not looking at him.
-Please welcome our new exchange student, Millenia Skyer!
Slowly turning his head toward the cheerfully announcement of his very teacher, Seto suddenly found himself was really to explode: Standing there, with a completely expressionless face and cold blue eyes, was the freak of a lady. The girl seemed to completely ignore the idiotic boom of laughter erupted from the Katsuya, and also all pairs of eyes which were checking her out, or the heated glare from Seto. In fact, she looked so bored and cast an empty gaze pass all of them, like they didn't even exist. Taken back by that, Seto became even more pissed, as that was the very first time; there was actually someone who dared to ignore him.
-…Ah! There's an empty seat behind Mr. Kaiba!-Another wave of shock struck Seto as the teacher chirped happily- Miss Skyer, would you mind…?
A slender eyebrow rose, as the Skyer was snapped back to reality. Two pairs of blue eyes clashed, one with extreme anger and hatred, one with mere boredom and a piercing force which could ripped into the core of every soul. Seto startled a bit, but remained his glare anyway. Skyer remained as silent as ever, slowly but elegantly waltzed to the seat she was directed to, not even bother to look at anyone again. But when she reached the still laughing Katsuya, Millenia stopped. As Jounouchi looked up, still constantly snickering, he suddenly stopped mid air and immediately shrunk with a sudden fear. Seto's eyes widened. The Skyer was smiling. But what made her dazzling smile look like a nightmare, was her chilling cold blue eyes. Widening, they were hard, glacial and bottomless, which bore into Jounouchi's very soul.
It all happened in just a mere three-second, as Skyer slowly strolled to the very seat behind the stunned Kaiba. Wordlessly, she sat there, simply staring up at the board, ignoring the fact that now the whole class' attention was only focused on her. With a totally different manner than before…
As far as Seto knew, this day had turned worse and worse than he could ever imagine.
The days passed by without any remarkable issue, except for the time Yugi's gang tried to introduce themselves with the new comer as usual. Skyer left immediately at the sight of them entering her view, leaving her tray of food untouched and disappeared toward the back yard of Domino High. "Anti-society freak" as Katsuya huffed, and for once, Seto had to agree with him, especially for the "freak" part. Though the girl was more than a mystery, Seto couldn't cease his anger as the memory of Skyer kicking his ass kept replaying over and over in his head. He still had fully intention to revenge; however, the image of her with that terrifying smile halted him a bit. From all the experiences of dealing with all kind of people, Seto could tell that the girl was not normal. That chilling sensation could only be used by a person who had might and knew they did have it. Only one conclusion was drawn: Whoever that Skyer was, she was far too dangerous for any normal seventeen-year-old girl could ever be.
Which directly hit Seto's nerve…
Boy, how did he love challenges…
-We were right…That little brat is no longer there anymore!
-That is impossible!!
-It is, my brothers…After all, we are talking about someone who has the Queen's protection, plus all the political power…However, the bait was set. All we have to do is sit back and wait for the fish to come.
-Should we just pursue the target?? It can be destroyed by…
-Easy…Though it is laid in the hand of a cornered animal, I highly doubt it could ever be damaged…
-…
-Let the hunt begin!
