Chapter 1: Seto Kaiba

(A/N: Well, this is the Seto/Joey fic that I promised and yes this song title is based on the song by Savage Garden. Note that it has a bit Seto/Shizuka in the beginning, so please bear with that, all you puppyshipping fans! I promise you that I will make the Seto/Shizuka stuff short, so you can enjoy the good stuff. Well, please R&R!)

This is my seventh school that I have been transferred to, due to many fights I have gotten into. I personally didn't care; being the rich guy I am, running a huge company, who needs education? I went to school because of my reputation. I mean, what kind of person leads a company and hasn't even finished high school? Being a Junior I am, I have been receiving invites to many rare colleges, but I'll have to finish high school first. Ugh.

Domino High. Looked clean. Rational. I might as well survive in this new area. I walked into my first class. I looked for the teacher, but I was awfully surprised when I saw her.

She was a head shorter than me and looked around my age. She had long brownish hair and big green eyes. She gave me a huge smile and took the transfer slip from my hand.

"Seto Kaiba? Hi, My name is Shizuka Jounouchi. Just call me teacher. I feel weird when people call me Ms. Jounouchi, if you know what I mean. Well, I am your teacher for the semester. Why don't you take a seat over there?" The teacher pointed at a vacant seat near the window. I took my seat, as the whole class settled down.

"Class! I want you to welcome a new student, Seto Kaiba!" The teacher ushered me to stand. I stood up, as I looked around at the classmates. Then I sat back down.

"I heard he got into major fights..."

"He got suspended seven times!!"

"He's a problem kid, don't talk to him..."

"But he's cute!!"

I ignored the comments going around the room. I might as well become the 'problem' kid in this school too. I didn't care. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey Kaiba, urm, mind if I call you Seto?" I turned around to see a boy with blond hair, giving me a huge grin. I shrugged.

"The name is Jounouchi Katsuya, but you can just call me Joey. Welcome to the class. Hope you know that the teacher is my little sister," Joey grinned. And he's proud of that? A younger sibling having more brains then the older one? How...sad...

"Younger?" I looked at him sympathetically.

"Don't ask, it just happened," Joey continued to grin.

"Right..." I turned around to face forward. I looked outside of the window to see sophomores playing sports. The scene became boring, as I looked towards the front, as the teacher was explaining some math problems. Then I felt another tap.

"You should hang with me, you know, I can show you around..." Joey said. I shrugged. Then I drew my attention back to Shizuka, I mean, the teacher.

I watched her move her arms. Her lips. I didn't know half the things she was saying.

"Kaiba?" I jolted up.

"Yyes?" I snapped out of my daydream, as the teacher called on me.

"Can you solve this problem?" The teacher pointed at the board.

"Yeah sure," I walked up to the board. I solved the fairly easy problem.

"That's correct Kaiba, BUT! Your forgetting something," the teacher gave me a huge smile. "Always remember to put the degree sign."

My hand was on the chalk, and then the teacher grabbed my hand. Her hand was over mine, as she made a degree sign over the answer. Her hands felt soft and nice, as it led my thumb and index finger to draw that small circle. She finally let go, as I tried hard not to blush.

"Always remember that, okay?" the teacher smiled at me once more, as she patted my shoulder. I nodded, as I sat back in my seat.

It was finally lunchtime. I walked to the cafeteria and ordered a bowl of hot ramen. I took a seat at a random table, as I noticed Joey coming to my table.

**

"Ramen, eh?" He sat across me, as he watched me eat. I stopped eating shortly, for something else caught my attention.

I noticed the teacher walking down the hallway with the other teachers...

"Yo, if you aren't eating that, I'll eat it!" Joey took the chopsticks out of my right hand, as he grabbed my ramen bowl. He slurped loudly, as he enjoyed the meal. Hah. How uncute.

I continued to look out in the hallway. Daydreaming about the teacher. What made me so attracted to her? I never felt that way ever in my life. Was it her smile? Her cuteness? I really have no clue.

"OY! What are you thinking about?" Joey asked, as he finished the ramen.

"Nothing." I shrugged, as I lay back in my seat.

"Haha, you finally answered me," Joey grinned. "Well, thanks for lunch!"

Joey threw the trash away, as the lunch bell rang. "We better get to class."

I nodded, as I waited for him to leave, but he still stood there.

"What?" I asked.

"Let's go together," Joey grabbed my arm, as I toppled forward. Whatever.

** School finally ended. I decided to explore the school for a while longer. I wandered around the halls and noticed a small door at the way end of the corridor. I went in to the dusty room and looked around. It seemed to be a music room. I noticed a piano at the center of the room, with various instruments all around the room.

The items were filed with dust. I walked up to the piano and rubbed my finger on top. Dust. I opened the piano cover and pressed one of the keys. Then I sat in the seat and played a familiar piece by Mozart.

The keys flowed with my fingers, as a beautiful melody came out. The music calmed me, as I continued to play rapidly. The music playing faster and faster. Then it stopped with a soft melody ending the song.

I heard claps in the background and turned around to see the teacher smiling down at me. "Where have you learned to play like that?"

I tried my best not to blush. "Um. I guess I grew up with these skills."

"That's great. Your sure one of a kind. Our music class closed down due to the lack of students majoring in musical talent, but your something, Seto Kaiba," She placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled down at me. "Wanna play a duet?"

"Sure, which song?" I asked, as I scooted a bit to make room for her to sit in. She sat down besides me. So close. I can smell the scent of her hair.

"Um, I don't know, you choose," She smiled.

We ended up playing a song by Bach. The teacher was really good at playing.

"Your really musically talented," the teacher smiled. She really looked young. She looked even younger than me. At that moment, I really wanted to kiss her.

Then I kissed her.

(Yeah, not much Seto/Joey here, but I promise you it'll come out in the next chapter or so. Please be patient with me! Thanks! Oh and please leave a review!)
