Long time, no see! Well, it's me again. So let's get started with the fic already.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh (Or Star101.5)
Recap: Seto's been going through some weird stuff now and we last left him in bed reminiscing about Serenity. Okay on with the story.
Seto woke up the next morning around six o'clock. He groans and rolls out of bed. Half asleep, he stumbles out of his room and into his kitchen area. Mokuba's already there and is eating sugar.
"What are you doing up so early, Mokuba?"
"Oh, I woke up early due to my stomach. I'm hungry!" Mokuba stuffs the sugarcoated cereal in his mouth and attempts to chew, but fails.
Seto rolls his eyes and makes some oatmeal for himself. Still not fully awake, he eats absentmindedly as Mokuba abandons his cereal and turns on the radio.
"This is Kent and Alan on Star 101.5! Playing you the best mix of 80's, 90's, and Today, and it sounds like this…"
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
"Oh, great," Seto thought, "Another guy getting money for proclaiming his love over the radio."
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
"Seriously… could he think of nothing better than that?" Seto took another bite as he was thinking quietly to himself. Mokuba loved this song. He wasn't going to be the one to ruin it for him.
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Seto rolled his eyes.
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on…
"Well, I must admit…" Seto thought, "He's right about one thing. Life does go by quickly. Heh, that's probably the only thing I respect about this song."
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day…
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
"Oh, thank God it's over…" Seto thought as he cleaned up his dishes.
Restless tonight
'Cause I wasted the light
Between both these lines
I drew a really thin line
Seto rolled his eyes as he dressed and left the room to get away form Mokuba's obsession with music.
As Seto walked down the halls, he bumped into none other than Serenity and Joey. "Wheeler."
Joey and Serenity both whipped their heads around to look at him. "What do you want, Kaiba?"
Seto smirked, "You're in my way, mutt." Then the feeling came back. He dashed off to the nearest bathroom.
Just then, Mokuba walked in just in time to see Seto run off. "Hey, guys. What's up with Seto?"
"Don' know… but he's actin' weird. Don'cha tink, sis?"
"Yeah… But anyways, Mokuba. You know that cat you let me take in?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, he sorta got away."
Mokuba rolled his eyes. "Well, we'd better find him before Seto does. C'mon!"
Meanwhile, in the bathroom…
Seto was in his cat form again and was laying on his clothes. Outside of the bathroom, he heard footsteps and his brother's voice saying, "C'mon! Hurry up! We have to find… what's his name?"
"S.J."
Seto froze.
"Well, we have to find S.J. before Seto finds him first!"
Once the footsteps were gone, Seto got all of his clothes on his back (Somehow…) and dashed toward his room. He didn't know when he'd turn back into human. In his room, he was safe and sound. Now all he needed to do wait out this transformation.
Quite some time had passed when Mokuba came into the room. Seto saw him and darted under the bed.
"Seto? Are you in here?" Mokuba listened for a reply. "Good. S.J.! S.J., where are you? C'mon. Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Here kitty, kitty, kitty." He searched the room and eventually found Seto under the bed. Seto dashed out into the living room and hid under the couch.
"Aw… C'mon! I need to get you out of here before Seto comes back!" Mokuba started reaching for Seto, so Seto did the only thing that he could do. He bit Mokuba. "Ow! Stupid cat!" Seto made a mad dash for the door and bolted out just in time to, literally, run into Ishizu.
Ishizu looked down and picked Seto up. Before Mokuba could catch up with Seto, Ishizu was gone.
"Ah…" Mokuba looks around for Seto and then swore a little. Then off Mokuba went.
In Ishizu's room…
Ishizu set Seto down on her bed. "So, Seto, how did you come to be a cat?"
/You know who I am/ Seto meowed.
"My millennium necklace tells me everything I need to know. So, how did you become to be a cat?"
/I thought your millennium necklace tells you everything./ Seto mocked
Ishizu narrowed her eyes, "I just wanted to see if you knew why you were a cat."
/Umm… I …. Uhhhh…/
"Just as I thought." Ishizu sat down at her desk and started typing on her computer. Every once in a while she'd stop to control the mouse.
/What are you doing/
"Come here." Seto obeyed and hopped up on the desk. On the computer, he saw the picture of a very unique star. It was green and resembled somewhat of a nebula. "Kaiba, this is called the Oricalcose. It is somewhat of a star; only it's somewhat of a planet. You see, this 'star' is something you can actually walk on, like a planet. It's only called a star because of the green light it produces and the fact that it is shaped like a nebula. Anyways, every 5,000 years it comes out for a week. Long ago, in Egyptian times, a piece of this star fell out of the sky and landed near the home of the great priest, Seth."
/Is that the same guy who you think is me in the past/
"Yes. Now Seth used the Oricalcose stone to break it apart into a few separate necklaces. He kept one for himself and gave the rest to his guards and such. Now the reason he did this is because the Oricalcose holds great power. He thought that it would give him the strength to over throw the king. Back then, the game duel monsters used real monsters held captive in stone slabs. Seth had a slab made with a shape of a star from which the Oricalcose fell. He put the stone he had around his neck to the star and called it the Seal of Oricalcose. A powerful magic he had made, indeed. It increases the attack of the users monsters and banishes the losers soul and mind to someplace quite like the shadow realm."
/But it's not the shadow realm/
"No. Now Seth finally challenged Yami to a duel. He played the seal of Oricalcose and summoned his Blue Eyes and Yami summoned his Dark Magician. In his quest for power, he had made a wish upon the star earlier to give him the strength to beat Yami. But the power of his wish, his stone around his neck, and the Seal of Oricalcose were too much and they led to his downfall. He was banished along with all the others who had the necklaces. There are only 10 necklaces in the world that have the stone on it. You must find it and undo your curse."
/Can't I just wish on the star/
"No. A wish has already been made. The Oricalcose is powerful, but every 5,000 years it comes out and only one wish can be made on it. Now about the place where they were banished, they're souls are forever sealed onto the stone – walls of the worshiping place for the stone. Your best bet would be to check there."
/Okay. Well, how do I get back to human/
"Why, I thought that would be obvious. You must kiss someone."
Seto's eyes started twitching. /I…I have to… what/
"Kiss. Doesn't matter what sex or race, or species rather."
/So what causes the whole cat thing/
"I thought that would be obvious too…. When you make fun of Joey. You know, call him a mutt or whatever. But I warn you; you can only change into a cat three times safely. This is your second time, is it not?"
/Yes./
"Then once you turn into a cat again and turn human, you're still safe. But after that you'll remain a cat forever."
Well, I'm done typing and stuff. So you'll just have to deal with the amount of typing I've done. So, just remember to REVIEW!
