Nice: Hey it's Nice with a new fic! I have new muse for this story. So give it up for the muse of my horror fics, Bakura! Yaay!

Bakura: Hey. Cool I'm the muse of horror. Wait. Why couldn't Seto do this? I thought he was your muse?

Nice: He is. He's the muse of song, dance, and the arts. You're the muse of suspense, horror, and mystery.

Bakura: Well, I guess one of us yami's had to be your muse. So, what is this one about? Gore? Death? Sadness?

Nice: Does Ryou read R.L. Stine?

Bakura: Yeah. His favorite is the Fear Street Saga. So?

Nice: Well picture this. Seto has to give a report about his family tree and tell every one that he is one of the Fears. And he tells the whole class the bloody story all the way up him and Mokuba?

Bakura: Wow. So how many people will die?

N: I don't know yet. But it should even make you go in your pants.

B: Well then, let's to the disclaimer then.

Nice does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or Fear Street. They belong to their creators. We're just tweaking them a little.

N: On with the Fic!

Ch. 1: The Family Secret

"Remember class that you're presenting your family tree reports tomorrow," said the teacher.

In Yugi's class, they had to do a report on their family history. Everyone was excited about, with the exception of a certain CEO, telling their family history with the class.

Looking at the sulking CEO, Joey said, "Man, Kaiba's acting like it is going to be a pain to tell everyone a little about the Kaiba's."

"Well, remember Joey, Kaiba was adopted. Maybe it's a touchy subject for him," replied Yugi.

"Hey. Who is he going to talk about? His birth family or his adoptive one?" asked Ryou, "We don't even know his birth family's name."

"That's right! We don't know!" exclaimed Tristan.

"It's not like he and Mokuba are Fears, right?" said Joey jokingly.

"Don't even joke like that! Saying the name Fear is a curse!" said Tea angrily.

"Um, Yugi? Who are the Fears?" asked Yami.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about them. They were a family of rich people who lived in Domino not to long ago."

"'Were'?"

"Yeah. Their mansion on Fear Street caught on fire, trapping the entire family inside."

"You mean that burnt shell near the out side of town? Did some escape?"

"No, I don't think so. But some people who were there 12 years ago said that six people: a man with brown hair and grey eyes carrying a small child, a woman with long black hair and deep blue eyes also carrying a child, another woman in a white wedding type dress, and a boy with brown hair and blue eyes, ran out of the burning house."

"What became of them? Were they Fears?"

"We don't know. They disappeared right after."

"How long did the house burn?"

"It burned for three days. People say, even though they Fears are gone, their evil still plagues the city."

"'Their evil'?"

"The reason people said that the Fears were evil was because creepy supernatural things happen at that house."

"Like what?"

"Like mysterious deaths and disappearances. Late night séances and evil magic. They say Angelica Fear was a witch and cast spells on those who disrespected the family. The children were evil from the day they were born. Sometimes, they say, you would see the children dancing in the Fear Street Cemetery, dancing with the dead."

"Wow! Why would you say Kaiba was one?"

"Because he fits the description of the young boy who escaped the fire."

"Oh… He could be."

Yugi and his friends looked at Kaiba for a second.

"No couldn't be," they all said together.

That night at the Kaiba Mansion

Seto Kaiba sat at his desk looking at his report. Soon, his little brother, Mokuba, walked in.

"Seto," he said, "are you really going to tell everyone the truth about our family?"

"Of course I am Mokuba. Everyone needs to know. We can't keep this a secret anymore or it is going to kill us," replied Kaiba.

Kaiba opened the drawer in his desk and took out a chain with a pendant on it. The pendant was silver with a three-toed claw and blue jewels on it. It tingled in his hand so he put it on the desk. Mokuba picked it up since he had never held it before.

It burned in his palm and he closed his eyes. When he opened them the room was on fire! The flames licked at his hair and clothes. In fear, he dropped the pendant. He blinked and the fire was gone. Kaiba looked at him knowingly.

"You saw it, didn't you? You saw the flames," said Kaiba to his brother.

Mokuba was whimpering in his brother's arms. He had never felt something that was so real, so terrifying in his entire life. He had never been so afraid. He thought he was going to burn to death.

Looking at his brother, Kaiba thought, 'He's still afraid. But he won't be for long. As soon as I tell everyone the truth, the curse will be lifted. We won't suffer anymore. The fire will scare us no longer.' And he said out loud, "The curse will be lifted by tomorrow and we will be free, Mokuba, we will be free."

The Next Day

"Okay class. Who wants to go first?" asked the teacher.

No one raised their hand except Kaiba.

"Okay Mr. Kaiba, please come up," she said. She was a little surprised that Kaiba actually raised his hand.

Kaiba got up. 'It's now or never,' he thought.

"My Family," he started, "The Fears."

Everyone gasped. Joey, who was chewing some gum, swallowed it in surprise and was choking on it.

"You're a Fear!" they all exclaimed in shock.

"I am Seto, last of the Fears"

"You must be the kid who escaped the fire!" said Yami.

"Yes, I am."

"How did your family become so evil?" asked Serenity.

Kaiba sighed. "Because we were cursed by another family."

"Cursed!" yelled everyone.

"Yes, cursed. And this is the object of the curse." He pulled out the pendant.

"Dominatio per malum," said Kaiba as he read what was on the back.

"Doesn't that mean, 'Power through evil'?" asked Ryou.

"Yes it does."

"Kaiba, why are you telling us now?" asked Joey.

"Because you need to know! The curse is coming after Mokuba and I and we can't stop it! I refuse to let my brother suffer the same fate as our ancestors! I won't let him burn!" screeched Kaiba.

The kids in the class gasped at the look in Kaiba's eyes. Pure fear.

"Our fate lies in our name. That is how our family shall meet its end," he said calmly.

"What do you mean?" asked Yugi. "'You won't let him burn' and 'Our fate lies in our name'"

"Yeah, the name Fear doesn't say much," said Tea.

"The name Fear wasn't spelled that way when the family was cursed. It was spelled F-i-e-r not F-e-a-r." said Kaiba.

"The letters… they spell fire," said Yami, "That's how the family will meet its end, by fire."

"But I thought that already happened?" said Tristan.

"It did. But since Mokuba and I are still alive the curse won't stop until we are dead," said Kaiba, "I figured that out when Mokuba touched this pendant and saw the fire and felt the flames of it."

"Who cursed the Fears?" asked Ryou.

"The Goodes. We had wronged them and now they're making us pay, with our lives."

"What did you do?" asked Serenity.

"We burned an innocent girl by the name of Selene Goode and her mother at the stake for being witches, just so she wouldn't marry into the family."

"Man, that's harsh," said Joey.

"Her father, Michael, was the witch, not her," said Kaiba, "He had uttered a curse saying that the Fiers shall meet the same end they did."

"Well, Kaiba, start from the beginning, and tell us all of it, Start to Finish," said Yami.

"But, it is so long and terrifying. From the story of Ben to Mokuba and me, I can't possibly tell it all in short amount of time we have," said Kaiba.

"I'll allow you to tell the entire story, Mr. Kaiba," said the teacher.

"Thank you," said Kaiba, wearily, "I'll start at the beginning, in the village of Wicker, in Edo, Japan, 1692……."
