DISCLAIMER: I do not, have not, and will never own Yu-Gi-Oh
Authors note: Hello, this is BEWD. Just a little note before you start reading. The main subject of all this is Yu-Gi-Oh, but there are some others too. There's a bit of Animorphs (dont own it) and I'm pretty sure there's some Wolf's Rain (still dont own it). I'm not really sure, but if so, just want to say, its not mine. Okay, enjoy.
Yu-Gi-Oh: Wolf
Chapter One
It was late. Seto Kaiba, current CEO of Kaiba Corporation was working, as usual. His study was dark except for the light coming from his laptop, which was open in front of him.
Most nights had been like this for the past few weeks. He was working on a very special project. A project that required him to work all day and late into the night. His brother, Mokuba had obviously protested, but this was something that he wanted finished quick.
He stopped typing and looked over his work. It was at least half finished. He reached absently to the side of his desk where he kept his information papers. But all he felt was hard wood. He stood up, realizing that he had left them at his office.
Muttering slightly, he went up to his room and pulled on his usual blue trench coat. He prayed his brother wouldn't wake up and go looking for him.
Seto went back downstairs to turn off his laptop when he heard a sound somewhere behind him. He glanced quickly over his shoulder. There was no one there.
He turned back to his laptop when the sound came again. "Who's there?" he asked, straightening up. His blue eyes scanned the whole semi dark room. Then he saw it. Someone was there, in the room opposite him.
Seto headed for him cautiously. He had barely reached him when he heard him say something. Somehow, that voice seemed familiar. There was a sudden flash of light, so bright, he had to shield his eyes from it.
((((()))))
It was dark. And cold. Yes, very cold. Seto looked around. How did he get here? He looked down and saw snow beneath his paws. His….paws?
He yelped with a voice, not his own. He looked himself over. Noted his brown fur, a slightly tufted tail, padded paws and his sensitive nose. Then, he realized it. He was a wolf.
No, he was dreaming, or something. Hallucinating maybe. But, the snow he was standing on felt very realistically cold.
Suddenly, a new scent came into the air. He sniffed, not exactly understanding. Something from deep in his mind, it told him one word. Brothers. Fellow wolves at the very least.
He walked forward carefully. He felt something hanging around his neck. Looking down, he saw that he was still wearing the duel monster card shaped locket. It was the one with a picture of Mokuba in it.
Worry suddenly washed over him. Was Mokuba all right?
Movement!
He looked around suddenly. 5 other wolves were there with him. There was one next to him had large innocent purple eyes and fur a color somewhere between black and yellow with streaks that looked red violet. Could this be…? Yes. It was wearing the Millennium Puzzle around its neck. This was his rival, Yugi Motou.
And the others?
That one across from him had brown eyes and yellow fur. Wheeler. Had to be. The next one, a snowy one with brown eyes was wearing the Millennium Ring. Ryou Bakura. One with whitish blond fur wearing the Millennium Rod? Seto growled. It was Malik Ishtar. He looked at the last one. The last one was a small black wolf cub with gray eyes. Wearing a duel monster card shaped locket around his neck.
Mokuba! said Seto. He didn't say it with his mouth. It was like mental telepathy.
The others seemed to snap out of a trance. Seto hurried over to Mokuba and nuzzled him.
Whoa. Where are we? asked Joey. Why am I a dog?!
Cant you even tell the simple difference between a dog and a wolf, Wheeler? growled Seto.
Everyone started talking at once.
Kaiba, you too!?
Does this have something to do with the Millennium Items?
Big brother, what happened?
I'm not really sure…
Why the heck am I a wolf?!
Who did this to us?
EVERYONE BE QUIET!!
Everyone shut up.
I'm doing this out of kindness so you better not get on my nerves!
Kindness? Yes I'm sure we all wanted SO MUCH to be turned into wolves, said Seto sarcastically to the voice that came seemingly from nowhere.
Who are you anyway? asked Yugi.
You don't need to know THAT, said the voice slyly.
And why not? snapped Malik irritably.
Anyway, I decided to help you out, continued the voice, as if Malik hadn't said anything.
Help us out? What do we need help for? Ryou asked.
I've decided to help you become more of a team. As you know, wolf packs are very social animals.
I don't want to be on a team with THEM, said Seto, starting to get angry.
Why are you doing this? demanded Joey, with a half glance at Seto.
I'm just doing this to help you out, said the voice innocently.
Yeah, right. You just want to toy with us, don't you? asked Mokuba.
That too. Anyway, for this to work, you'll all have to help each other survive. If one or two of you separate, no one will survive.
Those words seemed to bring a chilly silence.
Now, you have a week to reach your destination. Exactly 7 days to reach your destination.
And where are we going exactly? asked Yugi.
The top of the tallest mountain in the area.
Seto looked around. He couldn't see any mountain. Just snow, pine trees, snow, rocks, snow, old logs, snow and more snow.
You cant see it from here.
That helps, muttered Malik distractedly.
You'll have to get directions.
Directions?! DIRECTIONS?! Who are we supposed to ask?! That tree?! shouted Seto.
Calm down big brother, said Mokuba worriedly.
That'll be up to you. Anyway, I leave it to you. Remember. 7 days. 7 days… the voice faded away.
Seto stared angrily around at everyone else. It had to be one of their faults.
Um, we better go find some shelter, said Yugi uneasily.
Despite his anger, Seto decided to stay with the others. He worried about his brother. Remembering something about safety in numbers, he followed as all six of them trotted across the ground.
Snow continued to fall.
