Chapter 1. No control

Seto Kaiba, the eighteen-year-old multimillionaire CEO of Kaiba Corp. walked out of the huge building that consisted of the Kaiba Corp.'s main offices. It was about ten thirty in the evening, and the cold night air stung the blue eyes that had been absorbed in a computer screen all day as he passed through the main entrance, and into Domino City, letting the fresh air circulate in his lungs. Normally, he would have called a limo to take him home, but tonight he had chosen to walk, feeling he had the need to clear his head. His black briefcase was held fast in his clenched fist, and his chestnut hair fell naturally around his face. There was no need to ask as to what he was thinking about: Yugi, his yami, and the rest of the dweeb patrol whom Mokuba called his friends. How could they be so pathetically superstitious. Today, yet again, Yugi had visited him at work and tried to force to Millennium Rod on him, claiming that it was his "destiny", and that he could not evade it forever. The very idea made his skin crawl with hatred. Yugi had beaten him in every duel since before Duelist's Kingdom, and the fact that he was willing to appear at his office, knock on the door, and tell him all this magic rubbish about an Ancient Egyptian artifact.

Flashback: (Kaiba's POV)

I sat behind my desk, typing up a report on the administration of the newest duel disc model. I heard three sharp wraps on the door. I was in working mode. All my employees knew never to disturb me, unless it was absolutely urgent, and by the sound of the knocks, it wasn't. What the hell could it be now! God, I have to do everything for these people! They seem to be incapable of doing their jobs, so apparently, if I didn't do it, the whole company would fail now… imbeciles. "Come in." I said, with my best harsh tone. I wasn't going to be messed with today.

A short, - very short- boy of my age walked into my office. Yugi Motou. Shit! My day just got worse! At least it can't get any worse. At least it wasn't Yami though. I gave him my worst death glare, "What, is it now Yugi?" I snarled, "I'm busy. Too busy to be talking to shrimps like you." The expression on his face didn't change. Damn! Must try harder next time.

"I need to talk to you Kaiba." He said sternly.

"No Yugi, I thought you'd come to recite a ballad for me." I said, with as much sarcasm as I could muster, "How thick do you think I am?" At that moment, Yami appeared. Crap. It just got worse.

" I don't think you thick, Kaiba, quite the opposite if you must know. I have come to give this back to you." He said, and unwrapped something from a piece of cloth. A part of me knew what was coming, and all of me wanted to literally throw YamiYugi out if my office. There it was. The Millennium Scepter. I scowled and turned my attention back to my computer screen.

"Get out." I spat, infuriated that he would dare try this with me twice. I was getting angry. The more the better, because if I was angry, I would be able to throw him out sooner. YamiYugi started delivering his speech about my ancient past. I got angrier by the minute, when he finished, I almost literally felt like I was going to explode. I looked into the water in my glass, trying to channel the anger out of me. I knew that if I didn't I would end up hurting him. Not that I have a problem with that, but his lawyer would. He started using his persuasion techniques. I was on the brink of losing it. I shut my eyes and grit my teeth. Then suddenly I felt calmer again, some of my anger had subsided like that, but simultaneously, I heard a huge smash sound, and I opened my eyes to see that my glass had exploded, and its contents splashed over my desk. Normally, if I'd have spilt water on my desk, I would have sworn and yelled at someone to clean it up, but I could only stare, wide-eyed at the shattered glass. YamiYugi was also staring at the shards of glass upon my desk. He turned back into Yugi again,

"Think about my offer." He said, sickeningly kindly, "If magic doesn't exist, what was that?"

He turned away and walked out of my office, the scepter in his hand. I picked up one of the shards in my hand; it was almost too hot for me to hold.

-End Flashback (Normal POV)

Kaiba was racking his brains as to how it could have happened. He almost immediately put it down to YamiYugi, however, his last words were stuck in Kaiba's head: "If magic doesn't exist, what was that?" They echoed in his mind, until he forced himself to concentrate on where he was going. For some strange reason, the street was deserted. Which was weird, because it was usually packed. Kaiba turned around to look behind him… nothing. A voice in his mind was screaming that something was wrong, but he tried to ignore it, convincing himself that he was being paranoid, and began to pace to the end of the street, until something stopped him in his tracks. Two men, wearing barbarian-like leather attire appeared out of thin air, Kaiba blinked in disbelief, and saw that they were both holding what looked like fire in their hands. They threw it at him, and he was convinced that the attacks were going to hit him. He suddenly felt dizzy, and started seeing blue lights. For no more than four seconds, he thought he'd passed out, but he found himself, standing in the same place, without third degree burns. He began to see daytime hallucinations floating in front of his vision. He saw the two men disappear, just as they had appeared, he saw no more and blacked out.
