Shezka: Now I've finally got another chapter up and going. Hope you guys love this one. Please read and review.
Yuki thought about Seto that night as he got ready for bed. He had only heard of Mokuba today. He managed to just barely recall Seto's mother had been pregnant the last time he had seen her. Even then she hadn't been sure if she wanted to have the child. Since she already had two sons, Hatori and Seto. They didn't get along, but they only argued over things siblings argued about. Other than that it was all brotherly love between the two.
"Going to bed so early? It's only 7:00 after all." Shigure asked, his head popping around the corner of Yuki's bedroom door. He simply looked at him silently then turned back to folding his clothes.
"What's wrong with you tonight? You haven't even thanked Tohru for dinner tonight." Shigure asked coming in and sitting down on the bed.
"I keep wondering what year Mokuba was born." Yuki finally answered after a while. Shigure appeared surprised at this then just smiled.
"Well, why don't you call up Seto and ask him? He left his phone number after all." Shigure replied then got up and left the room.
Yuki thought about this. It felt strange to call his friend at home, after all this time. It was still hard to believe that they had finally found each other at last. With a sigh he went out of his bedroom. Ignoring Kyo's regular challenges at fighting. He picked up the phone and began to dial his best friend's number. He then put the phone to his ear and waited.
At the Kaiba mansion…
"Hello, Kaiba residence." Mokuba answered the phone on his way to dinner. He wondered who could be calling them at home. Seto never gave his home number, not even to clients. Unless this was some kind of stalker.
"May I please speak to Seto Kaiba?" An unfamiliar voice asked politely over the phone.
"Um, what's your name, sir?" Mokuba asked uncertainly. Man, he hoped it wasn't one of Pegasus's goons. Memories of being locked up in that cold cell still gave him the creeps.
"Yuki Sohma, I'm an old friend of his." Yuki answered. Mokuba thought about hanging up on this guy. His brother had no friends except him, and possibly Odion. Sadly, he wasn't able to carry out his action. Kaiba came around the corner and rudely snatched the cordless phone from his younger brother's hand.
"Hello, Kaiba speaking." Kaiba said coldly into the phone. Then his face instantly brightened a bit and his expression instantly became relaxed.
"Oh, Yuki! Nice of you to call. I was just eating dinner with a guest of mine. No, it's no trouble at all. Really, I don't mind one bit." Kaiba said into the phone casually walking away still talking.
"I have an important question to ask you." Yuki said seriously over the phone, disappearing into his own room just as Kaiba did.
"May it quick, I really do have to get back to my guest." Kaiba joshed him over the phone gently.
"What year of the Zodiac was Mokuba born?" Yuki managed to ask seriously yet calmly.
"Let me see, uh, hey! Year of the rat, just like you. Well, gotta go now. Mokuba is yelling at me for taking the phone from him. I'll call you after dinner, bye." Kaiba answered hanging up just as his best friend muttered a good-bye as well.
At first he felt a bit of shock. Then told himself to relax. There was no reason to get all worried. Just because they were the same animal really didn't mean anything. It just felt strange for there to be two rats at once. On top of which Seto was year of the dragon, just like Hatori. That had seemed strange enough, was it possible there were more then one evil spirit of the Zodiac? Or was this only true for certain animals? Then something else crossed his mind, if Kyo found out about Mokuba being the year of the rat…
At school the next day…
Kaiba felt relaxed, refreshed, and was almost happy. Despite this fact he managed to keep himself under control. Him and Yuki met at the front entrance then walked into the school together. They both began talking casually about what had happened last night. Kaiba had hired Odion as a babysitter for Mokuba since the man had no special skills except he knew how to take care of children. Yuki had gotten into a fight with Kyo and won as usual. Which was really no big difference in their lives, well, perhaps just a very ticked off Kyo that is more ticked off then usual. Everything was going fine until they ran into the geek squad.
"Well, if it isn't the mutt and all of his little friends." Kaiba said sarcastically with venom dripping from his tone of voice. Joey and Tristan instantly turned around to face him, fists raised ready to do battle.
"Like to say that to my face money bags?" Joey threatened his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Oh, I'm so terribly sorry sirs." Kaiba said suddenly getting a good idea. The CEO opened his eyes all wide and innocent. His voice was instantly begging and he even clasped his hands in front of him for effect. Joey sneered, but lowered his fists.
"Alright, I'll let go just this once since I'm a nice guy an all." Joey muttered turning away to talk to a very stunned Yugi, Tea, Duke, and Ryou. Yuki gave his friend a skeptical stare. What the heck was he up to?
"Sorry for calling you a mutt. Mongrel sounds much better. No, wait that would be an insult to canines." Kaiba said quickly returning to his old cold self. Yuki finally got it; he was picking a fight with this kid. Just like Kyo did with him, only with more satisfying results.
"That's it, were gonna tear you limb from limb Johnny Sunshine." Tristan snarled as he and Joey leaped at Kaiba together.
Before he knew it, Yuki had dropped his books and taking a fighting stance alongside Kaiba. They had usually done this while still training in martial arts. They had both been bullied simply because Yuki had almost completely white hair. He felt his muscles tense at the familiar feeling of his friend's presence beside him. Just like old times.
Kaiba ducked as Yuki threw the first punch into Tristan's face. Kaiba then curled around that, almost like a cunning viper, and delivered an even more damaging blow into the man's stomach. Bent over hacking and coughing, it seemed Tristan was out for the count. Joey was still in gear and managed to land a punch in the middle of Kaiba's back making him land flat on his stomach.
Yuki turned on the blonde. With surprising speed and agility he had punched Joey below the jaw, stamped on his foot, and connected a good kick to his stomach. Kaiba took advantage of this and knocked Joey down with a swipe to his legs. Then rose with nothing but some dirt on his clothes. Joey and Tristan on the other hand looked like they needed to be put in a hospital for a good few months.
"Nice save back there, I would have been mince meat." Kaiba congratulated Yuki as they casually went down the hall together. Then he noticed his friend glaring at him.
"What?" Kaiba asked in a confused voice.
"What you did back there was unnecessary and dishonorable. Next time I won't help you." Yuki answered coldly taking a seat. Kaiba was baffled by this and sat down heavily in the chair next to him.
"Listen, I know what you're getting at. The mutt and I go way back though. At one point we became friends soon after I moved away from you. Then I became an orphan, we got separated, grew up, went our own ways, and are now rivals. Come on Yuki; don't get all silent on me." Kaiba said in an apologetic tone. Instead, he remained silent and refused to speak with him for the rest of the day.
After school that day Kaiba walked to the summer house with Tohru and Kyo. Who seemed to only tolerate his presence for Tohru's sake. She was all smiles and was extremely polite to him.
"Are you really a lost family member of the Sohma family?" Tohru asked curiously while they kept on walking. He sighed deciding it best to just go along with it. He suspected Yuki would kill him if he acted rude towards her.
"Yeah, not that I'm proud of it." Kaiba answered as calmly as possible.
"What Zodiac animal do you turn into?" She asked him kindly.
"I was born in the year of the dragon. Though, it's pretty obvious I'll just end up as a sea horse like my older brother. The strange thing is I can't remember ever turning into one." Kaiba answered rubbing the back of his head. How could he forget something like that?
"We might have to carry around a cup of sea water where ever we go just in case he turns into one." Kyo stated. Kaiba glared at him, but said nothing.
"Uh, I'm sure that won't be necessary." Tohru said with a nervous smile just as they came in sight of the summer home.
Just on cues as if to prove a point, Tohru felt someone push her from behind. Kyo was shocked and made an attempt to catch her. Instead, she felt right on top of Kaiba. She acted right on instinct and hugged him as to not fall further then immediately regretted her mistake. For, just as luck would have it, Shigure, Hatori, and Yuki stepped out of the house. There was a puff of smoke and Tohru let go letting herself fall the rest of the way down to the ground.
At first, there was a deathly silence. Then Hatori took off his glasses and kept on staring. Shigure was just stunned beyond belief. Yuki felt his breath catch in his throat. Kyo took several steps back yanking Tohru along with him. She looked at all of them confused, and then noticed it had grown darker. Then slowly looked up and saw something she had never expected to see. A real life, breathing, dragon. Which were at least a good ten feet higher then the average T-Rex.
Kaiba shook his head and looked around. Then finally glanced down and wandered how everyone had gotten so small. Then it occurred to him they hadn't gotten small, he had gotten bigger. He stretched his neck out, which was extremely long, and twisted around to get a look at his body. By the scale color it didn't take more then a few seconds to realize what he had turned into. A Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Shezka: Ha! It's finally revealed what Kaiba turns into! Does he have dragon powers? If so, what kinds? And does he have to have a girl hug him in order to turn into a dragon? Stick to this fanfiction and the answers will be revealed in later chapters. I would love to answer them all in one go, but then where would the suspense be? Send me reviews and I promise to update.
