My first attempt at a Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfic. I have become completely and utterly obsessed, so I'll probably write a few of these. This story carries on from the battle between Seto Kaiba and Yugi Mûto, when Kaiba uses his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon before entering Pegasus's Castle. I add a slight twist. Please, read and review, so I know whether you like it or not.
Disclaimer- I wish I owned Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I don't. I do love the pointy hair, if that's any help…

Prologue:
Seto Kaiba stood on a thin ledge of creamy grey stones, his midnight blue cloak billowed in the breeze behind him, and despite his attempts to look fierce there was a fear behind that mask of bitter hate and those teal colored eyes. He didn't want to fall, fall down from the ledge and die a painful death that could only be caused by having a body tossed to the ground with such a force, from a high pillar of granite. He spread his balance evenly over slightly pointed shoes, hoping that a sudden gust did not grab the length of the material and drag him too far from stability. Tufts of hazelnut brown hair flicked over stern eyes as Kaiba cast his cold-hearted gaze over to the other side of the arena. His arch-rival stood there, a boy with stunning hair, it rose naturally into a pointy, tri-coloured star-like shape of bright purple, a darker, almost velvet black violet, and golden strands that hung at the front and sharp spikes of the same yellow hue followed the purples as they fanned outwards.
Angular eyes of amethyst met Kaiba's narrowed orbs stern for stern, each one's fate rode on this duel, and the fate of so many others. Mokuba, Kaiba's little brother, and Solomon Mûto, grandfather to the boy in the blue cloak. Around this boys neck there hung a strange pendant, a puzzle, pieced together gruelingly over some amount of time, to form an upside down pyramid of a bronzed flaxen hue, the Millennium puzzle, holding amazing powers. The defiant boy, Yugi had no real idea how to control the powers of the puzzle, but deep down, he figured it let out another spirit, a stronger spirit. Yami, or Yami-Yugi in this case, had actually taken over Yugi this very second in this very duel. Kaiba glared and Yami met it angrily, though Kaiba from this distance could not see the change in the 'foolish boy'. Between the pair where an assortment of creatures, Duel Monsters, brought out by the power of the cards. Currently Yami had sent fourth his Celtic Guardian, and Kaiba had in play the legendary Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Also surrounding Yami were a group of small fuzzy creatures known as Kuriboh, who seemed to be continually multiplying. Why had the unstoppable Blue Eyes not taken out the elf who stood, sword raised?
It was rotting, and rotting from the inside out. Yami had played his cards well, and it would have been simple for him to take out the dragon in one slash from the Guardian… 'But what if the force accidentally knocks Kaiba off the edge?' One head of the tri-skulled Blue Eyes was strong, with full power, and could easily take out Yami's Guardian in the next move, or would Yami attack first? It was no longer a duel between simple Yugi and Kaiba, it was a life and death situation. Yami clenched his fists, and thrust his hand outwards. "I've never backed away Seto Kaiba, and I'm not starting now! Celtic Guardian, attack!" As the guardian ran forward, a female voice called out and broke the horrible silent hatred that flared between the two duelists. Kaiba was almost crying inwardly, Yugi had actually attacked his dragon? At all that risk? He was a fool to think that Yugi would call off the attack and give up his grandfather…
"Stop!" A younger male voice cried, not as strong or as mature sounding even though it came from the same figure that had just declared the attack. Yugi dropped to his knees, as the Celtic Guardian slowed to a halt, and lowered its blade. Kaiba grinned in relief, before his mask slapped back over his features and he glared down at Yugi, whose shoulders shook weakly up and down, the few golden spikes that headed to the heavens were gone, though the rest of him remained the same, perhaps he was a little shorter. His eyes no longer seemed as angular as they leaked tears to the ground and over gloved hands. Kaiba however, showed no mercy in his plight for victory, "Blue Eyes White Dragon, White Lightning Attack!" The bright flash told Yugi that his Guardian had been destroyed, along with his remaining Life Points, but he didn't much care as all he saw were his own tears as they fell down his face.
