Chapter 4:

~~~Seto's POV~~~

I have been officially labelled the class freak. You know how I know? Somebody stuck it on my back. I've been continuously bullied for days now. Yugi tried standing up for me. We both have black eyes. Yugi's friends help me out only if he asks them to. Jounouchi thinks I'm weird, and therefore doesn't even try, Anzu's in the same predicament as Jounouchi, Ryou is too shy to even help himself, and Honda's been on a trip before the bullying started.

I eat lunch by myself these days. As much as Yugi protests, I don't want him to get hurt. Plus, Jounouchi and Anzu keep staring at me funny. However, by eating by myself, I become the human punching bag more often. In fact, it's happening right now.

~~~End POV~~~

"What'd you say freak?" the red-haired bully asked.

"Could you please stop..." Seto mumured helplessly.

"Oh, but I'm having so much fun!"

"Onegai (please)..."

"No, I don't think I will."

"What's going on over here?!"

Seto looked over to the direction of the voice. It was that guy who was supposed to give a lecture to some older students after lunch today. The bully yelped and ran. Guess he wasn't as tough as I summed him up to be.

The man blinked in disbelief at Seto for a moment, then held out his hand and said, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Seto replied.

"That's good. What's your name kid?"

"Seto. Seto Kaiba sir."

The man gazed in surprise at him again. Then the man said, "It's nice to meet you. Maybe I'll see you again later," and walked away. As Seto stared after him, the man ran his hand through his thick black hair thinking, 'So here's where you've been all this time...I'm glad you have a life now.'

~~~Later~~~

"Eh? The name of the guy?" Yugi asked. Seto nodded. "I dunno know his name...sorry Seto. Why'd you want his name anyway?"

"He looked familiar..." Seto answered.

"The students of Domino had a guest speaker today..." the tv blared. Seto whirled around in time to hear, "scientist Seto Kaiba..."

"He has the same name as you! He must've given you the sweater you had on!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Maybe he can help me..." Seto said, but inside he was thinking about how much leaving Yugi would hurt. He looked at Yugi and was rather surprised to see Yugi looked a little downcast.

"I'll miss you when you leave," Yugi said.

"If...not when. Maybe it's just a coincidence...but I'll miss you too Yugi," Seto replied. Yugi smiled up at him.

A/N: Aha! The OC Seto appears again! I wasn't actually going to make him come back, but the thought just nagged at me...or maybe that's just Yami, who's trying to BUG ME AND GET HIMSELF FIRED AT HIS MUSE JOB!!!!

Yami: Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Pikazoom: *whacks him* Don't test me.

Yami: @_@
