Rath- Okay, next chap. is here!
Set- So therefore, sanity has left the BUILDING!
Rath- Or left his mind for this case… Well, here's the next chap, enjoy. ^_^
Set- Uh, huh.
Rath- Er, disclaimer, dude.
Set- Lazy ass, we no own Yu-gi-oh.
Rath- Pardon you?
Set- Er, I'm goin' be headin' to save what ever's left of my life now…
Rath- Good boy.
I looked back at the mirror and saw my reflection, two of them.
I am the one and only High Priest Seito
I felt a strong chill run down my spine. I shivered involuntarily and wrapped my arms around myself. The pendent grew warm on my chest and the chill grew colder. I felt a body appear behind mine and cold fleshed arms wrap around my shoulders. And, how are you doing? Still recovering from the shock? Don't worry, you'll get over it soon enough. He said, his mouth unmoving and one of his fingers running over my collarbone. I swallowed in fear. 'Fear'? Oh, I wouldn't say that…I would say 'absolutely terrified'. He took one hand and pulled my head back, viciously grabbing my hair. I grimaced as the shock of sudden pain. The ice fingers moved from my collarbone to caress my exposed throat.
Suddenly, they wrapped around my neck and I was thrown onto my bed. He straddled me and began to choke, the fingers like a python, getting tighter and tighter. My eyes rolled back into my head and my lungs screeched for the much-needed oxygen. My chest heaved and my body writhed, despite the weight on it. My hands clawed at the fingers wrapped on my neck, unwilling to let go. I felt tears well in my eyes from the lack of what seemed like such far away oxygen. He let go and crossed his arms, while I lay there coughing and attempting to suck in all the air I could, that bastard will pay.
You? Harm ME? You're more amusing than I had expected you to be, my little light. Smirked the arrogant fiend. Fiend? Now, where did I hear that before? Ah, yes! Bakura loved that word. He brought a hand to his mouth as if hiding the huge smile on his lips. Tch, I hate him. Then, the thought hit me.
'You! You, you killed him! You took over my body and made me kill him!' I snarled attempting to sit up. He laughed aloud this time, his mouth wide, flashing pearly fangs. He jumped off me and did a very odd twirl. I sat up, half-horrified and half-curious to see what was so damned amusing to him. Took you long enough. But I guess knowledge comes with age. And I've got 5,000 years of it.
Suddenly the mirthful expression was devoured by a sinister angry glare. His eyes grew and shook in his fury. I myself felt the fear stirring inside me. A red aura encircled him and an eye shined on his forehead. A strong wind blasted from him, at first only rustling my hair and making my eyes narrow, then throwing me against the back wall. I growled as my head was viciously thrown against it. His blue eyes turned a deadly red and he screamed into the darkness. The pendent on my neck vibrated and seared with heat. That bloody traitor! He thought only of himself and betrayed my trust. He joined with a conspiracy to over throw my power. He and that demon Pharaoh. They will pay for what they condemned me to. I will make sure of that. You felt my pain, my fury, you saw what happened. You are the only one who understands and you WILL help my way of wrath. And then, only then, will you know the true solace of revenge.
Another blast of wind and light ran from the fiend as he laughed psychotically. And then the world slipped into darkness.
I snapped my eyes open and sat up in bed looking around widely. A dream, that whole thing was a dream. Nothing more. The Pendent, Bakura, temple and High Priest were nothing more than a trick of my mind. I sighed and gripped the sheets in anger. What a hell. What an absolute hell. When I opened my eyes, something horrible greeted me. My hands, they were stained and covered with dried, crimson blood and the pendent was still around my neck. No, it couldn't be! Damn this! This can't be true. Panic, fear and awe struck me and I bit my lip. I refuse to believe this. Arrghh…
I swung my legs off the bed and looked at my clock. 7-34? DAMMIT! Damned school starts in 26 minutes! I ran over to the bathroom and struggled to brush my hair and put on the blue blazer at the same time. Next were the socks, pants and teeth brushing, which didn't help my case either. I growled and grabbed my black briefcase, sitting on my chair and headed towards the dining room. Mokuba was already there, sheets of paper sprawled out and a plate of half eaten food. I sat down beside and him and started to eat an apple.
' Hi, big brother! Where were you last night, I was worried!' He said, only momentarily taking his glance of the filled out sheets of messy handwriting.
' Homework, Mokuba? Had we not gone over this before?' He swallowed his bread and stared at me then smiled.
' Don't you have school in 10 minutes, big brother.' I stole a look at my watch. Dammit, he was right. I rustled his hair as a goodbye and headed out the door, yelling at random people that the car better be waiting outside for me. If not, heads would most definitely roll. I did not need that bad night and I most certainly do not need a bad day to follow it. The chauffeur was waiting outside with an umbrella; I walked ahead of him as he struggled to keep up with me. I slid in as he opened the door for me and I yelled for him to hurry.
I ran inside, but slowing as I neared the class, I must hang on to my dignity, I've got a reputation to uphold. I stepped in right as the teacher announced my name for roll call.
'Kaiba, Seto'
'Here,' I said with a smug grin. I sat down in my usual desk, to a far corner in the right. Yuu-gi and his little 'pals' were staring at me while I started to hook up my laptop. I glared at them to make sure they knew to stay out of my business. Of course, the mutt jutted out his jaw and clenched his fists. That dog is too low to even lay eyes on me. I then diverted my attention back to the program on my computer.
'Well I guess the only one absent today is Bakura Ryou.' My fingers suddenly missed the keys and deleted an important e-mail. I snarled and cursed under my breath .The sudden feeling of guilt, remorse and pity over-taking me. I snapped my head to stare at the teacher, who was now babbling on about him never missing a day of school. I knew eyes were watching me, and I could narrow down to whom they belonged to.
' Now, back to class, I'm so happy you all have me first period, today.' The teacher exclaimed all too happily. I rolled my eyes and continued to type.
'Now I'd like all of you to listen, and that includes you Mister Kaiba. I know you have an important job, but this may prove to be of some help.' I looked up; hands still poised to type.
'If it would help boost your self-esteem, fine then.' He looked dumb-founded for a few moments then cleared his throat and continued to talk. The fool must have accepted the fact that I'm better than he is. I smiled at my own joke, as I will do and phased into the conversation.
'…So the assignment will be creating a computer program about anything!' This is pathetic; I'm going to arrange it so I can be excused from this mediocre class.
'…And you'll have partners…'
A loud voice laughed in my head.
Hold on one moment, my little hikari, this assignment may prove to be more effective than you think.
Rath- Okay, new chap. is done!
Set- About three hundred words longer than usual too.
Rath- Also, as 'weird' as that chap. may have sounded, there will be no romance, alright?
Set- Uh, huh.
Rath- All romance is for the new fic, coming soon to ff.net near you!
Set- Huh?
Rath- I'm a bit hyper right now… Well, review, thanks, and ja ne!
Set- Later!
