Chapter 3

A shadow silently moved across the marble tile, it's tall reflection looking back up at it as it moved along, a door whizzed open as the figure came closer, glaring florescent lights popped on as Seto Kiaba walked into his study area, "Damnit…." He covered his eyes as he made his way behind the large oak desk, his long bathrobe dragging behind him. The huge leather chair squeaked as he sat down in it, another restless night, it was the same, odd dream again, the huge black beast rising out of flames…he shook his head, as he began to rub his temple methodically, that's all it was, a dream. He stood up, yes, that's all, just another pointless dream…Yugi-gumi…damn them, they'd got him believing in all that magic crap…Now he was having dreams about it, just great, that's what he needed. He had much more important things to worry about, like the next Battle City here in New York; he turned around, looking out the large window. Yes, New York, the biggest stage possible for a Battle City, he'd just gotten clearance from the mayor a couple of hours ago, he'd already sent invitations to the Yugi-Gumi, because this time, he'd destroy Yugi…"Seto? You in there Seto?" the younger Kiaba peeked around the door to look into the study, Seto spun around, "Mokuba, what are you doing up? It's late, you should be asleep." He looked down into the big brown eyes looking up at him, his lips quivered, "I-I had a bad dream Seto…"

"….." he just stood there staring at the youth for a moment, before he made his way to the love seat on the far wall, he plopped down on the soft leather and patted his knee, a smile spread over the younger Kiaba face, he ran over to his older brother and stared up at him while he climbed up on his knee, "Ok then Mokuba…tell me all about it…" The younger stared up at him and then looked away, suddenly he spread his arms out wide, "There was a huge black monster thing, and lots of fire…and…and someone was laughing, and….it was scary Seto….." The older looked down at him, his expression unreadable, was this some sort of joke? How was it his younger brother had the same dream as himself? It was impossible, was it some sort of magic? No of course not…he shook his head, "Well it's ok now Mokuba, you get back to bed now, and don't worry, that monster won't come back…" he patted his younger brothers head as the latter jumped off his knee, "Love you Seto!" he gave his older brother a big hug before leaving the room. The Kiaba Corp. CEO watched the door his younger had just retreated through before letting out a long sigh, why did all this crap happen right before his tournaments?
