Seto's Past Chapter 1, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

Yami Pandora: I have decided to rewrite this because it was a load of rubbish, and quite frankly I hated the way it turned out. Hopefully this will turn out much better than last time. It is still a Seto/Yami fanfic, so if you don't like, don't read. I may also add one of my favourite songs on at the end of each chapter, even if it has nothing to do with the story. Don't ask why I don't know. I am going to aim for at least 1000 words in each of my chapters, but as I'm no good with stories I'm not promising anything, but I will ask you to please read before you decide not to read ok?
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh… sob, sob but I do own Maniakku, so don't steal him.

Chapter 1

Seto suddenly awoke and sat up with a gasp. He was sweating and breathing heavily. He curled himself up and thought back to the nightmare he'd just had. The one he'd had ever since his step father, Gozaburo, had died.

(Dream)
A small version of Seto was lying on the floor. He was covered with blood from the beating he had received, but he knew it wasn't over. Not by a long shot. Gozaburo entered the room with one of his business partners, Maniakku Yokoshima. Gozaburo yanked the young Seto from the floor, and began to strip him of his clothing. Seto struggled, but it was pointless. Even he knew that. Even if he didn't have all those wounds he wouldn't be able to escape. But still he struggled, tears pouring out of his eyes and down his bloodied cheeks. "Stop crying. You should never show your emotions. Emotions show weakness and if you are to take over my company you will not be weak" Gozaburo snarled, punching Seto in the face.
The two men proceeded to remover their belts and slid their trousers down. Gozaburo then forced Seto on his back and plunged into his entrance without warning. Seto screamed at the pain, more tears pouring down his face. Gozaburo continued to plunge in Seto violently until he released. And then it was Maniakku's turn. He was rougher than Gozaburo, and an expert in torture. Seto screamed far worse than he had for Gozaburo. By the end of it, Seto had lost consciousness.
(End Dream)

(Seto's POV)
Why do I keep having that dream? Gozaburo and Maniakku died two years ago, I should have put this behind me by now. But… for some reason, I just can't. I'm not really the way people think I am. The cold, heartless mask is just that: a mask. I don't think people would like the real me anymore than the one I am presumed to be. Underneath that mask, I am just a scared little kid, but I am never going to admit to that. Not to anyone. Not even Mokuba knows how much I suffered at the hands of Maniakku and Gozaburo. He just knows I was beaten and even then, he didn't know until after they died. He doesn't know about the rapes, and I prefer to keep it that way.

The nightmares aren't the only thing keeping me awake. I keep thinking about Yami, an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. I have started to believe that magic crap as I once called it. Who wouldn't after being transported to some memory world and meeting their incarnation? I sometimes used to wonder what it was I felt towards him. I once thought I was driven by the desire to defeat him in a duel, but I now know I wanted to see him. Strange, huh? Falling in love with your greatest rival?

Great. I'm crying again. I can feel the tears drip off my chin and onto my hands. I wish I could forget about my past and move on. I wish I had never been adopted by Gozaburo, but you can't change the past. Besides, Mokuba needed a family. He was just a kid after all.

(Normal POV)
Seto was unable to sleep, so he went to his office to do some Kaiba Corp business. He didn't think there was any point in even trying to go back to sleep, as it was already 5:30 in the morning, and would have to get up for school soon anyway 'School. Great. I'm surrounded by those morons and that annoying friendship freak Why did I decide to go to school anyway? It's a waste of time. I had finished their curriculum and done university level work by the time I was 12' Seto thoughtHe switched on his laptop and uploaded his latest design for Kaiba Land, the amusement park he had been planning to build since he was 11 years old. He had almost finished, and was designing some duel monster games for children. 'I'm going soft' he thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Domino, in the Kame Game shop, Yami too was having trouble sleeping. He sat on the window ledge, looking up at the stars. His mind had been occupied with thoughts of the handsome CEO. He had been unable to hide it from Yugi, as they still shared a mind link, even though they were in separate bodies.

All the Yami's had acquired their own bodies after Memory World, even the notorious Tomb Robber, Bakura, who was no longer as evil as he used to be. Yami and his friends had convinced Bakura that it wasn't the Pharaoh's fault his village was sacrificed. But while Bakura was no longer trying to kill people, he still retained his sadistic nature. Yami laughed at that thought. Bakura had never been anything but sadistic and it would be hard to imagine him as anything else until he and Ryou announced their relationship. Everyone had been so shocked. Yami laughed at the mere memory of the looks on everyone's faces. Yugi's grandfather, and Ryou's father, had managed to convince people that the Yami's were long lost relatives, who had just transferred from Egypt. Anyway, back to what was keeping him awake. Yami had been thinking about Seto a lot after Memory World. He'd tried his hardest to hide his new found feelings for the CEO, but it hadn't worked too well, and Yugi had been teasing him ever since.

Yami couldn't understand why Seto was always so cold towards everyone. He knew from the Virtual World that he didn't have the best past, but it couldn't have been that bad could it? The only person Seto opened up to was his little brother, Mokuba, and Yami was a bit jealous. He wished Seto was able to open up to him as well, but he knew that the chance of that happening was zero, zip, zilch. Even though Yami was happy to have a body of his own, he felt he was intruding on Yugi's life, even though Yugi had told him countless times he wasn't. Yami sighed, and walked over to his bed. He lay down and tried to get a little more sleep before he would have to finally face his 'first' day of school.

Random song – Evanescence, Surrender
Is this real enough for you
You were so confused
Now that you've decided to stay
We'll remain together

You can't abandon me
You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me, my love
Surrender

Darling, there's no sense in running
You know I will find you
Everything is perfect now
We can live forever

You can't abandon me
You belong to me

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me, my love
Surrender

Yami Pandora: so what did you think? This is my second attempt at this fic. I hope it turns out better than last time. Please review. I know the song is completely random, but there you go, I am insane after all.
