Author's Notes: I wasn't really sure what to do with this fic, until I realized that some of the fics posted to the LJ comms, "InsertPhrase" and "100Leitmotifs" could easily be a series of one-shots(like kibbles and bits), and some could be combined into a single fic. I decided to treat this fic as chapter one of a larger fic since some of the challenges could easily be combined. Yes, it's a bit short, but don't be surprised if the later chapters are considerably longer. The rating is generally 'Teen", but the rating will go up in some chapters. Eventual male/male slash(Seto/Alister). This is my first Yu-Gi-Oh fic and I hope that everything is in character and up to snuff in this huge anime fandom. Enjoy!

Seto sensed someone in the room. All he could do was sense, as all he could see was darkness. All he could hear was his own breathing. Any other time, Seto Kaiba would dismiss this as an illusion of just barely opening one's eyes after being asleep, but this time, he just couldn't do that. He couldn't do much of anything, really, except realize that it wasn't Mokuba. His younger brother would have called out first, and that hasn't happened.

Sure, he could have called out to the darkness, but he chose not to since he honestly believed that doing such a thing would have been stupid. Seto Kaiba made it a point to never do anything stupid. So, he sat up on the bed, his blue eyes adjusting to the dark, but still seeing nothing but more dark, and hearing nothing but his own breathing.

"Mokuba?" He whispered without even thinking. No answer. Seto bit his lip, feeling around the bed for his little brother and felt nothing but sheets. "Mokuba..." Now, he could hear his heartbeat along with quickening breath. He fumbled around for a lamp or a switch, but a beam of moonlight caught his eye, and he looked straight ahead, expecting nothing but simple shadows. Instead, he saw

"Alister!" Seto gasped, frozen in place.

He remembered Alister. How could he forget the vengeful redhead who almost took his soul in a Duel at Pegasus' building? Now he was in the same room Seto slept in, and how he got in was a mystery. What wasn't quite a mystery was how Alister arrived period. Seto Kaiba could see it now. A motorcycle, no doubt, or maybe a high speed car. A fierce grey eyed driver running over everything and everyone to reach his goal. None of that mattered now as the moonlight gave Alister an almost ethereal appearance. He wore a trenchcoat as black as the room, and his grey eyes were hidden behind golden sunglasses. All else remained the same, but that didn't matter either.

Alister's lips curled into a smile as he walked over to the foot of the bed. "Kaiba. You didn't think you could escape me, did you?"

Seto opened his mouth, but nothing would come out, except for his quick breathing. He thought of Mokuba and where his little brother could be. He'd demand it of Alister if he could just get the words out his mouth, but his muscles tensed when he found that he couldn't. He had never been in a situation where his mouth failed him like this, but he had never seen a dangerous enemy get this close to him either.

Damn you, Alister! Seto looked upwards, trying to think of ways to escape, but before he could even consider moving, Alister grabbed his arms and pinned him to the bed. No, this isn't happening! When he felt Alister's breath mingle with his, Seto struggled, but the gloved grip tightened. He glared into golden shades, but all he could see was his own face staring back at him.

"I have you in my eye," the whisper caressed Seto's mouth, it glided through his brown hair, and easily reached his ears.

"No!" Again Seto tried to struggle, but Alister threw him back down.

"KAIBA!"

"No!" Seto woke with his heart in his throat. He breathed slowly as he scanned the room, seeing mainly the windows brightened by new sunlight. Alister was nowhere to be seen.

"Seto!"

Mokuba.

"Seto, what's wrong?"

"Mokuba..." He struggled to sit up, but that didn't stop him from grabbing his black haired little brother, lifting him on the bed and holding him. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm all right." Mokuba looked into Seto's blue eyes. "What about you? You had a bad dream, didn't you?"

About him, and it won't be the last one, I'm sure of it. But, Seto Kaiba never said those words. Judging from the look on his little brother's face, he really didn't need to. The rumbling sound of an engine outside startled both Kaiba brothers, causing Seto to grit his teeth. Despite feeling his nerves crawl, he refused to be afraid.

"That can't be him," Seto mumbled. It had better not be him.

"I have dreams about him too," Mokuba looked down. "I dreamt that he would kidnap me and take me away from you..."

"I will not allow that to happen!" The idea that someone like Alister would take his younger brother scared Seto more than Pegesus and Noa combined. He barely took the former seriously and the latter was a spoiled, sociopathtic virtual boy who used his toys to brainwash Mokuba. But, Alister? The Doom Warrior was different, much different. Seto Kaiba had never seen anyone like him, and he perfectly hated that fact. Just thinking of it made him hold Mokuba so tightly, he could feel his heart.

Damn you, Alister! No one has ever gotten to either of us this way! You will pay!
