Sigh, another new story...sorry for not updating the others, but I have been in a weird mood lately. I have also recently become obsessed with Noa Kaiba! Yeah...so this is a fic about him. It's going to be Noa/Seto, actually. I started writing this because I can't find any good Noa/Seto fics!

So...read if you dare! Warning: This chapter contains a brief (not so graphic) rape scene, and mentions of child abuse! This will also contain light yaoi in later chapters so don't read if you don't like!

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Yugioh! Or the characters! ...But I DO own the root-beer float flavored sucker I am currently eating...

Ghost in the Machine

Chapter 1: Vows of Revenge

Somewhere in the vast nothingness of cyberspace a green haired boy sat up. His eyes closed tightly as he forced back the pain that shot through his body. He sat there in near silence; the only sound was of his own panting and broken sobs. Eyelids parted to reveal irises of blue. The once sparkling sapphires were faded to a dull color. He struggled to his feet, nearly slipping because of the pool of red liquid that had gathered around his nude body. He glanced down worriedly at his reflection in the bloody puddle. Was he really hurt that bad?

A sinister chuckle echoed around him. The boy's eyes widened as tears streamed freely down his face. He stumbled backwards, falling onto his side. A fresh wave of pain seared through his lower body. Desperately he bit back his tears. An ominous figure approached him, kneeling beside the mess of blood. A sly grin adorned the creature's face. It cocked it's head questioningly at the young teen. "Ah, what's wrong my boy? Are you not happy to see me?" The monstrosity asked, feigning hurt. Without waiting for a reply, the creature gabbed him and sank its teeth into his flesh. An arm wrapped around the youth's waist bringing him closer. The green haired boy gave a soft sob before submitting to the monster's will. It would have been pointless for him to fight, just like it had all the times before. He grimaced and shuddered as vile hands slid over his flesh. The boy forced back a scream when he felt the sharp penetration. He bit down on his lip until blood poured into his mouth and down his face. The creature on top of him chuckled darkly as it licked the blood away. He sobbed as a wave of nausea flowed over him.

Once the creature was done with him it threw him aside and cleaned itself up. A disgusting grin was still glued to its face as it stared down at the broken boy. Chuckling softly, it spoke to him. "As fun as this has been I have better ways to waste my precious time." It told him coldly. "After all, I have a company to reclaim. Those orphan brats have tarnished my name long enough." The figure turned and calmly walked away from him, shifting into the form of a wealthy business man as it went. Hate filled cerulean eyes followed him as he left. The boy sat up shakily, ignoring the pain, and glared down at the bloody pool. "I'll make you pay for this…father. I swear I will!" He said furiously.

He glanced down at his hands; a small smile broke onto his face. His hands began to glow faintly. "You don't realize how strong I have become here." He muttered softly. The dark abyss dropped away, replaced by a calm field. With a snap of his fingers the blood was cleared away and replaced by an outfit of brilliant white, with purple embroidery on the edges. He sat down on the soft grass, wincing slightly. Then he pulled up several screens, which would track the monster's progress through the digital world. The teen smiled to himself. "Yes, you will pay dearly." He promised loathingly. He glanced down at one of the data screens, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw the man's destination. 'KaibaCorporationSatelliteMD173' was displayed on the screen. His breath hitched in his throat. "That's…that's one of the original missile satellites…" He said shakily. His fingers flew across a newly materialized keyboard in an effort to figure out the missile's target. He gasped at what he saw:

Target 1: Kaiba Corporation Building

Floor 37 sector A

Operation Target: Kaiba, Seto

Target 2: Domino Junior High School

Room 104

Operation Target: Kaiba, Mokuba

Targets Locked?

…Confirmed, launch KCMD015 Missiles

The teen let out a shaky breath and pulled up another screen. 'No! I won't let him win!' He thought determinedly. He bit his lip. 'I hope I'm not too late…' He though as he glanced down at the timer.

Predicted Time Before Impact:

Target 1: 0:29:31

Target 2: 0:59:31

He wrenched his gaze away from the screen and began typing furiously. He immediately ran into the satellite's security system. 'Password?' It asked him. He sighed and glanced back at the clock. He growled. "Damn it! I don't have time for this!" He said, turning his attention to a blank screen. He quickly searched out the Kaiba Corp. mainframe, hoping to combat the missiles. He frowned when the system rejected his hacking. Seething, he glared at the screen. "Of all the times to be a genius with an amazing security system…this is not it!" He said furiously. Trying again, he stretched his knowledge and was able to bypass the firewall. He sighed in relief, but his success was short lived. His jaw dropped. "It's…Kaiba Corp. has been converted into a gaming company!" He said in shock.

He growled. So much for plan A and plan B…he decided to take a different approach. The boy sighed deeply, hoping the new CEO wasn't as stubborn and cold as predecessor had been. Finding the main system for sector A, he hacked into the computer network on floor 37. The green haired boy pulled up a dialogue box on his screen. This was his only chance to save the CEO…blue eyes widened when he realized he had tripped the alarm.

JouVal-Yaoi-Fanatik: Kay! One chapter down! (praises self) Anyways...if you can't guess who the main character is, you need to watch a lot more Yugioh...
