Author's Notes: After rekindling my Mokuba fangirlism, I decided to write another fanfic. I'm putting this out there to get some review before I continue on this, so tell me if you think I should change anything or whether I'm conveying personality right, and if I'm writing in new characters well. I'll take this feedback into consideration when I continue. Thanks!

THIS CHAPTER IS INCOMPLETE - but I'm posting it to gain feedback on what I have written so far.
Chapter 2
Shinju and I spent the rest of the car ride playing Duel Monsters. We were at a stalemate when the driver pulled up in front of the school.
"Here we are, Kaiba-sama," he announced before getting out to open the door for me and Shinju.
"Welcome to your first day of school."
I stood there and stared trying to take in the sight. The front of the school was an impressive European-style building, three stories high, with large double doors and a courtyard at the entrance. The whole school was surrounded by an iron fence. The court was filled with students socializing in clusters, or early birds who had decided to find their classes first streaming into the school building. Girls were in black skirts and white sailor tops with short sleeves, while the boys were dressed like Shinju and I were. Some of the guys had taken off their jackets. It wasn't very cold yet, so they were wearing their summer uniform shirts. A male staff member in a dark suit was supervising them all.
I felt a tug on my sleeve. "Come on, Mokuba!" Shinju said. "Let's go see our class!" I followed him into the school.
I followed him to classroom 8A. The room was completely spick-and-span. Individual desks were arranged neatly in rows and columns. The blackboard was clean, the floor was spotless, and all the school supplies and books were arranged like little soldiers in formation. I had a feeling it wouldn't stay that way forever.
There were a few students already inside but one caught my attention in particular. He wasn't very hard to miss, judging by the large group of girls that were gathered around him.
"Hey, Shinju, who's that guy?" I asked, elbowing my friend and pointing at the guy in question.
"Hmm? Oh, that's Konii Tajiri," he said. "He's one of the more popular guys at school."
"I can tell," I growled. I looked at Tajiri, sizing him up, which was hard since he was sitting down and nearly engulfed by the crowd around him. His hair was a light aqua color and neatly trimmed short in the back with medium-length bangs in the front. He was leaning forward on his desk, engaged in conversation, blue eyes flitting back and forth between various speakers. His smiling face held smooth features with soft curves. The rest of his body (from what I could tell with his uniform on anyways) looked pretty fragile, and his pale complexion didn't add any strength to his frame. This was going to be my competition here?
"What's so great about that pretty boy?" I asked as Shinju and I made our way to our seats.
