Kaiba's Revolution

Chapter 1: New School, New Rules

"Mokuba, get up! You don't want to be late for your first day of school, do you?" Seto Kaiba called to his little brother. They were now living in a new house in America. After Yugi had freed both their souls by beating Pegasus, Kaiba took his brother as far away from that lunatic, Pegasus, as possible. His company KaibaCorps moved with them. Though the company was not as successful here because Duel Monsters wasn't as popular, he was still richer than most everyone in the small town of Bayville where they now lived. After getting his soul back he decided it was time for a change. He didn't want to be mean and cold hearted. He wanted some friends, people he could trust. Friends like Yugi had. People who supported you. He didn't want to live his life alone.

Over the summer and while the house (more like mansion) was being built he had Mokuba tutored while he got KaibaCorps up and running. But now that everything was settled down both he and Mokuba were returning to public school. He tried to get Mokuba in the only private school around, the Xavier Institute, but after a test he was rejected. Why? He didn't know, but they'd just have to make the best of public school.

"Coming, Big Brother," Mokuba yelled down to him. He then came running down the stairs with his new backpack slung over his shoulder. "All ready to go. I'll be in the limo," Mokuba said as he ran past Seto. Kaiba sighed and walked after his little brother. When he reached the limo he stepped in and told the driver to take them to Mokuba's school first because it started before his. During the ride there, there was an uncomfortable silence. Kaiba broke it by asking, "Are you nervous, Mokuba?"

He replied with, "A little. How 'bout you?"

"Not really," answered Kaiba. Actually that was a lie. He was VERY nervous. He didn't like being new at things. At his old school he could act aloof and distanced from everyone else and they would just say 'oh, that's just Kaiba' but now, now he was the new one at school. He was no longer the all-powerful Seto Kaiba, he was just like everyone else. He also thought it would be good to make a few friends so he wouldn't always be alone like he was in Domino. He envied Yugi and his friends so here he would try to make some. He had never been to an American school before. He didn't know how to act or even how to dress, so he just stuck to his usual long trench coat thing and hoped he didn't stick out too much. He kind of missed his school uniform, 'no one sticks out then.' he thought. When they reached Mokuba's new school, Mokuba jumped out and said, "Bye, Big Brother! See you after school!"

"Bye, Mokuba. Have a good time," he called after him. He told the driver to make his way to Bayville High, where he would now be attending. The closer they got, the more nervous he got. 'Ha! Nervous. Seto Kaiba, nervous. The kids back in Domino would get a kick out of that,' he thought to himself. Then he noticed that they had neared the school and then the limo stopped. He slowly got out and started looking around. He saw that the front of the school was covered with different clusters of students. He also saw many of these groups were starring at him. 'I guess not to many people ride to school in limos around here.'

When he got out he made his way over to an unoccupied bench where he sat and waited while reading a book. He still received some curious glances but most of the kids had turned back to their groups. A few minutes later a bell rang and everyone started heading towards the school, so he followed them inside. Once in he found his way to the principal's office. Once inside, he got the attention of a short middle aged woman who must have been the secretary.

"Good morning," she greeted him with a smile, "How can I help you?" she asked politely.

"I'm…uh…new here," he managed to get out. 'What's wrong with me?' he thought. 'I never act like this. I'm Seto Kaiba the Duel Monsters Regional Champion. Why am I nervous?'

"What is your name?" the secretary asked.

"Kaiba, Seto Kaiba," he said strongly. He couldn't afford to be a wimp.

"Oh, Mr. Kaiba. I have one of our student guides to show you around for the remainder of the week. You both have similar schedules. Scott, will you come here?" from another doorway a tall dark haired boy wearing sunglasses about his age walked in the room. "Scott this is Seto Kaiba, Seto this is Scott Summers," the secretary introduced. "You boys better get to your classes, oh Seto before I forget, here's you schedule," she said while handing it to him. "Now get to class before you're late." As they walked out of the office Scott asked, "Where'd you come from?" He didn't mean it in a mean way he was just curious about where he lived before that.

"Domino City, Japan," he answered.

"Japan, really?" Scott asked. "You sure have good English."

"Well, I speak five languages fluently but I have know English since I was very young."

"Oh," Scott tried to think of something else to say. 'Seto Kaiba? Where have I heard that name before?' Scott asked himself.

Kaiba tried to break the silence by asking, "Why do you wear sunglasses indoors?" but his answer was a hurried, "My eyes are sensitive to light."

"What class do you have first?" Scott asked

"Trigonometry," he said bluntly.

"Oh, me too, but we better get there quick 'cause homeroom is almost over and that's the only class we're excused from."
