Strong Enough: A Yu-gi-oh Fanfiction

A dark cloud of despair loomed over Domino City. Lightning of anger flashed among the houses and skyscapers. It had not been a week since the end of the Battle City Tournament that the presence of Darkness started to fill withing a boy by the name of Seto Kaiba. Seto was not a stranger to this feeling. he had experianced it before when he was younger.

When Seto was a young boy, he was mistreated by his step-father, Gozaburo. He was battered around and forced to study long hours into the night. But that was not the only thing that bothered Seto. Gozaburo also seperated him from his younger brother, Mokuba and beat on him as well. That's when the Darkness and hatred consumed Seto's soul. Finally, Seto had had enough. The anger inside of him grew too great for him to control. An evil form of Seto took over his body and pushed Gozaburo out a window from a 3 story sckyscraper. The Dark Force stayed within Seto untill the faithful day that he met a young duelist. The duelists name was Yugi Mouto.

Yugi fought Seto for his grandfather's Blue-Eyes White Dragon duel monsters card. Despite all odds, Yugi defeated Seto and his own Blue-Eyes with the unstopable Exodia card, releasing Seto from the grasp of his Dark Side and sending it into the infamous void called the Shadow Realm.

Now, Seto was feeling this Dark Side enter him again. The Darkness was weak at the time he first felt it, and it was easy for Seto to surpress. But the feeling got stronger each time after he surpressed it and woke up each mourning with a choking pain in his heart. Seto's hands shook as he tried to get out of bed one night. His legs were weak and he fell to the floor. A dark aura surrounded his body as Mokuba ran into the room. Seto motioned as best he could for Mokuba to run, but the boy was too filled with shock and horror to move. Finnaly his legs began to move towards the door. As Mokuba ran down the hall, he heard his big brother let out a loud aginizing scream of pain, but didn't stop running.

Rain was pouring as Mokuba found himself outside the mansion where he and Seto lived. Mokuba had no idea where he was running to. He just couldn't stop. His eyes began to water as he remembered his brother's screams. All of a sudden...Whump! Mokuba was suddenly brought to an abrupt stop as he ran into a tall figure. Mokuba got up and stared at the person in front of him. There before him was a teenage woman around Seto's age keeping her eyes shadowed and staring out in front of her...it seemed. She started to jog away, but before she got out of ear-shot she yelled back in a middle toned southrn voice, "Be carefull now, Mokuba." It was untill mokuba started to run again that he realized 'How did she know my name?" Mokuba looked back and noticed that the girl was gone.

A light flickered somewhere and caught Mokuba's eye. The sign in front of the house's porch read:

Turtle Shop

Mokuba burst into the door, soaking wet, and peered inside finding a group of people gathered around a table where a small duel was being held between Yugi and one of his freinds.
