Well now, you say I own Yu-Gi-Oh... YES!! Wait, no I don't. .

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

I disregarded the streak of blue and brown despite the weird feeling I got in my gut. The girl at the desk briefly looked in the direction of the blur, smiled, and motioned me to follow her. I had to ask the question burning in the back of my head; I couldn't just ignore it. Besides, she looked like she knew the answer.

"What was that?" I asked.

"What was what?" The girl questioned, looking back at me.

"That blue and brown streak that passed by me," I said, answering her question.

"Oh, that 'streak' was Seto Kaiba," she said.

"Who is that?" I questioned.

"I'm surprised you haven't heard of him..." she said, trailing off.

"Why would I have heard of him? What did he do that was so important?" I questioned genially curious.

"It's not what he did: its what he is." She replied.

"And what exactly is he?" I asked.

"If you don't know already, then I don't know if I should even bother telling you." She stated.

I was getting slightly miffed at the way she was avoiding my question. However she stopped in front of a door.

"This is your room," she said, closing the subject for the time being.

But trust me, it would be opened again. "Thank you." I stated.

"If you need any help just ask for Kalista or Kyoko." She said, looking me in the eye before she left.

I stepped into my room. It was actually pretty spacious. I was surprised no one had this room. If nobody wanted this one, the other ones must be amazing.

Ruby emerged in her 'chibi' form at that exact moment. She was just about big enough to fit in the palm of my hand. I closed the door and sat down on the bed, holding and petting Ruby all the while. Ruby let out a happy little sound, and she snuggled into my hand. She was actually pretty cute in this form. All her cute little smiles and her 'menacing' faces, -which weren't actually menacing. In fact they were quite funny to look at. Kind of like if a gerbil tried to get all 'scary' on you. You know, makes you just want to scream and run. Yea, that's about how scary Ruby can be in this state.

"You do know I can hear you right?" Said Ruby, slightly mad.

"Heh heh heh... sorta..." I quickly closed the link. Oops...I don't think I should have let her hear that. Oh well, what's done is done and can't really be reversed. I opened the link again; maybe Ruby would know who this 'Seto Kaiba' is.

"Ruby...do you know who Seto Kaiba is?" I asked, hey it was worth a shot. What did I have to lose anyway?

Ruby looked up at me, "Seto Kaiba? It sounds familiar..."

"But do you know who he is?" I'm serious when I ask a question, and I like straight answers.

"I might..." Said Ruby craftily.

"Well?" I started.

Just then, the door started opening, and Ruby disappeared. A girl poked her head in, and as soon as she saw me, she blushed slightly.

"I knew I should have knocked." She muttered quietly to herself. "Hi." She said, finally looking at me. "I'm Kyoko. Kalista told me about you. She said that you didn't know who Kaiba is."

"Geeze, is that what people are gonna know me as now? The kid how doesn't know who Kaiba is?" I said, slightly irritated.

"Not for long," she replied.

A boy with chestnut brown hair and cerulean blue eyes walked in after Kyoko.

"THIS, is Seto Kaiba," Kyoko said.

Truly he didn't look all that special, but I guess neither did I, and I was about as special as they come.

"Now are you going to tell me what he is?" I asked.

Kaiba raised an eyebrow.

"You mean you can't sense what I am? Because I can sense you," Kaiba said with a hint of confusion in his voice.

Sense me... then he knows what I am... but how would I be able to sense what he is?

"He's what you are, smart one." Said a voice in my head.

"He- he's a summoner? How? What? I thought I was the only one, why didn't you tell I wasn't?!!?" I said frantically though the mind link.

"Calm down. I'll explain later. Right now, just talk to him," Ruby said calmly before closing the mind link, but she said that too calmly. Something is up.

"Summoner." I stated blandly.

"Right you are, did your little dragon tell you? 'Cause I bet she realized you were too stupid to figure it out on your own," Kaiba said rudely.

Appearances can be so misleading.

"Listen, I've never encountered another Summoner. Cut me some slack." I said.

"Neither have I." Kaiba said smirking. "Maybe, That would be because we are the only two in the world, and unlike your dragon mine doesn't keep secrets from me," he stated.

I noticed Kyoko slip quietly out the room, not wanting to see the end results of this little fight. That, or she's going to get something to eat while she enjoys the show.

"I'm not looking to fight with you. I don't even know you," I said, and truthfully I wasn't.

Kaiba smirked like he had won before talking, "Fine. Whatever. But I have one tiny question."

The way he said it made me hesitant to answer, but I did anyway, "And that question would be what?"

"When did you get your dragon?" He said.

"I got Ruby...when I was 13..." I said wearily.

"Guess we're even then," he said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"It means we got our dragons at the same age. But, how old are you now?"

"I'm 15... exactly how old are you?"

"I'm 16. So I am ahead of you."

"Wow, you have a year ahead of me. This is me actually caring." I said turning away.

Well, that was the end of that conversation.
