(( My first fanfic on here. Don't be too hard on me. I'll give you permission for that later.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the characters, blah blah. Jeez... ))
****Domino City, 2003****
It had been 3 years since Seto and Ryou had been lovers. Now, when they looked back on it, they could see why they came… Those girls from another world.
At the time, neither had known what it truly felt to be loved. All they knew was hatred. Then everything changed, because of an accident...
When this began
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I live it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
****2000, Duelist City****
Tossing his head back, Seto's lips formed into a sinister smile. He had defeated his 10th opponent that day with his prized possession. Running his finger along the edges of his God of Obelisk card, he slid it back into his deck. "Let's go, Mokuba." "Yosh, nii-sama!" The younger boy toddled along behind his older brother, dragging the metallic suitcase behind him.
****Domino City Hospital****
Bakura lay in his hospital bed, weak from the wound on his arm. It had only been a day since they had fought with their Millennium Items, him being the loser. At losing, he agreed to help Malik destroy Yugi. His arm… Oh how his arm hurt. He had stabbed the side of his arm to prove his "loyalty" to the tan-skinned one.
"Ryou…"
Malik had appeared in his dream. He had taken Ryou, his hikari. Damn him. Bakura was stuck in his Yami form now.
Moments passed. Somehow, he knew Yugi and his group of parasites didn't care what happened to him. It was as if-
'I'm…alone…'
He now heard a voice call out to him…it was a familiar voice. Deep brown eyes slid open, rolling over to the side of his bed. There stood Yugi's freak grandfather, Solomon. Ugh. What did he want?
"You were moaning, are you in pain, Ryou?"
Damn old man. "I'm fine." His gruff voice spat. Ooops, gotta control that. For now at least. Sliding his slim legs over the bedside, he now sat facing Solomon. Solomon backed away, seeing the threatening grin that grew on Bakura's face. The Millennium Ring began to glow, illuminating the dark room.
Just before he attacked, Bakura sensed a power. It was dull… and not evil. So it didn't matter at the moment. Getting to his feet, he edged towards Solomon, the Ring filling the room with a blinding light.
Thud. Solomon's obese body became dead weight on the floor. In that same instant, the room was followed by yet another intense flood of light. The power he had sensed before struck the hospital bed behind him.
The light died. Bakura uncovered his eyes. Blink. "What…the..hell?"
There was a girl. A young girl that sat up on his bed, blinking in confusion. She seemed more shocked then he was… Brown hair that fell just below her shoulders, chocolate brown eyes that were hidden beneath thin-framed glasses. The girl's attire consisted of green khaki pants and a cream colored shirt, a black overcoat over it. It looked like something his hikari would wear…
Quick, blinding light swept throughout the alleyway. Seto lowered his thin arm, which held a couple of Duel Monster cards. That light… What the hell was that?! Strange… Wait a second… His opponent was running away!
"Mokuba! After him!"
"Yosh, nii-sama!"
"Ooof!" Suddenly, Seto felt himself falling, crashing into the ground; Mokuba sprawled on top of him. "What the hell?!"
Underneath him lay a young girl… She looked much like Jou-puppy's sister. What was her name again? Shizuka or something? No matter. She was in his way. Brushing Mokuba off him, Seto got to his feet.
"Damn. He got away." Seto muttered, gripping his cards tightly in his hand. His eyes shifted down to the girl, who seemed to be trembling in fear. Good. She needed to be scared. Cause now he was pissed.
Such an icy glare. Mokuba cringed, seeing his brother so angry.
"Mokuba!"
"H-hai, nii-sama?"
"Stand back."
Nodding, Mokuba backed out of his brother's way; huge off black eyes studying Seto's every move. He could understand why his brother was angry, but he didn't want her to be hurt…
Sliding the card off the top, Seto glanced at it. A sinister grin formed on his lips. Chuckling at his good luck, he slid the card into the Duel Disk. As the card activated, multicolored strings of light began to sprout out of the ground, forming into a massive shape…
"Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
Before them, the light formed into the enormous, elegant Blue Eyes White Dragon, tossing its head back and roaring. It's roar so loud it shook the windows of the buildings beside them. Flapping its wings, it created a current of wind through the alley, the girl's mahogany hair ruffling.
The girl flinched, shielding herself with her arms. Not like it would help. Seto watched her pathetic attempt to protect herself. It was almost funny…
"Blue Eyes, attack with your white lightning!"
Roaring, Blue Eyes stepped forward, roaring once again. Flapping its wings, the wind became stronger. The girl shrieked, cringing. The intense, bright light that was forming in Blue Eyes' seemed to swallow her already. Lightning bolts seemed to bounce everywhere, almost hitting her a couple of times. She could hear Seto's laughter… Raising her arm to shade her eyes from the brightness, she saw it wasn't attacking…
The light began to die. Gasping, she lowered her arm. Deep cerulean hues, both the girl's and Seto's, watched Blue Eyes in shock. Seto stepped forward, raising his fist.
"Blue Eyes… what the hell are you doing?! Attack he-"
Blue Eyes didn't seem like it was listening. It bent down, lowering it's head towards the girl. She recoiled, afraid of being eaten.
Blue Eyes nuzzled her with its huge nose, letting out an almost sad noise, like a rejected puppy. …Almost as if it were whimpering…?
The girl blinked. She didn't know what to think of this. Extending her arm, she lifted her tremendously shaking hand. Her graceful hand brushed against Blue Eyes' snout. It didn't move…
Seto couldn't believe what he was seeing. The girl was petting his Blue Eyes as if it were tame. His fist tightened. Eyes narrowed.
Mokuba, on the other hand, was enjoying this. He skipped over beside the girl and was now petting Blue Eyes as well. Smiling up at the girl, Mokuba spoke up.
"What's your name?"
"Trish…"
"Trish? That's a weird name. Where are you from? You have an accent… you can't possibly be from around here!"
"I'm from the United States…" Trish grinned, trying to hide that she was embarrassed by her American accent.
"Sugoi! Sugoi!" Mokuba began to chant. "Nii-sama! She's from the United States!"
Seto watched the two talk. Mokuba was excited. There was really no use in continuing. Calling Blue Eyes back, he lowered his Duel Disk.
"Mokuba,"
"Hai, nii-sama?"
Motioning for his brother to follow, he turned his back to them, expecting Mokuba to be behind him.
"Iie, nii-sama!"
Seto stopped.
"N-nani, Mokuba?" Seto was almost in shock. Mokuba had never gone against what he said… At least not for a long time. Shifting to face them, he was once again caught off guard, stumbling back a few steps before he was able to endure what he saw.
Mokuba was clinging to Trish's arm in a protective manner, almost as if he were glaring at Seto. Trish was nervously looking down at Mokuba, as if she were afraid to look up and see his reaction.
"Nii-sama… she doesn't have anywhere to go…"
"That's not my concern, Mokuba."
"Demo, nii-sama…"
Seto studied his brother for a moment. Then the young girl. Same observation as before… She looked like Shizuka, long mahogany hair, long bangs covering most of her face. Big blue eyes. A maroon shirt and black pants, a black overcoat of some sort on top. She rested her hand on Mokuba's shoulder. Adjusting her glasses, she glanced up at him. The look in her eyes… almost as if she were about to defend Mokuba. That look on her face… It almost reminded him of… himself. Back at the Orphanage, when someone would come to take just one of them. Seto would give them the same look she was giving him now…
Ugh. He didn't have time for this. Stupid memories.
"Feh. Do as you like, Mokuba."
Mokuba let out a cheer. The two began to bounce around behind him, talking about what games they would play later on. Once out on the sidewalk again, Seto could hear the sound of a helicopter passing overhead. Tilting his head up, he could read "Kaiba Corp." on the side. The helicopter hovered overhead.
"Seto Kaiba! Please get in! We have spotted a God Card nearby!"
A rope ladder dropped from the cockpit. Seto began to climb up, Mokuba and Trish following. Once in the cockpit, the three squirmed their way into their seats; Mokuba ending up in the middle and Trish to his right, Seto to his left.
Seto stared out the window, as Trish did her window; Trish being more amazed with the sights than anything else. Mokuba was pointing out things below, such as the main Kaiba Corp. building, Kaiba Land, and Domino City battle arena.
Mokuba realized his brother was silent. Turning to face his brother, Mokuba tugged on Seto's sleeve.
"Nii-sama?"
Seto pulled his sleeve out of Mokuba's grasp. Uh oh, big brother was pissed.
"Nii-sama, what's wrong?"
Seto glanced at Trish, who was still glued to the window. He couldn't tell if she was listening or not… Leaning down, he whispered into Mokuba's ear.
"Why did you want her to come?"
"Well…" Mokuba had to think for a moment. "She… She reminds me of… of you, nii-sama. I don't know why… When we were younger, you would get excited about cards and games and things like that too…"
The pilot announced that they would be landing soon. Silence.
"…."
"Nii-sama?"
"…hai?"
"Gomen nasai…"
Seto smiled. His hand patted Mokuba's fluffy black hair, letting him know it was alright. The helicopter was nearing the ground now. Both Mokuba and Seto jumped, hearing Trish let out a sudden gasp.
"Nani, Trish-san?" Mokuba asked, crawling into her lap and looking out the window as well. Seto leaned, trying to see himself, when he heard a gasp from Mokuba as well.
"Yugi-kun!"
