LazerWulf: Greetings! Wow! Two chapters in one day!
Joey: You REALLY don't have a life.
((LazerWulf smacks Joey on the back of the head))
Joey: Hey!
LazerWulf: You have about as much tact as Terriermon. Anyway, This is a songfic. The song is "Let My Love Open The Door" by Audio Adrenaline, from the album Underdog
Joey: Isn't dat a cover?
LazerWulf: Yes, the original song was done by Pete Townsend, and I am told that Pearl Jam does a version as well. However, the only copy of the song I have is on my Underdog CD. I was listening to it, and this song just screamed "Seto Kaiba," so I had to put it in my series. I wanted to get on with the story, but this seemed to fit in with where I am right now.
Yu-Gi-Oh is not mine, neither is this song.
The Return of the Priest
Chapter 3: Let My Love Open The Door
Seto's POV
I sat in the corner booth, typing away at my laptop. I sighed. What was I doing at a Karaoke bar? Oh, yeah, Mokuba. My little brother insisted I get out and do something to clear my mind. I knew that work cleared my mind, but he wouldn't let me go to the office or work at home, so I decided to just go to a place where I could work in peace. There were some pretty bad singers, but I have the ability to drown out any noise. Pretty handy in a place like this.
"This song goes out to that lonely man in the corner."
I looked up at the girl on stage. She was tall, with long, light blue hair that seemed to shimmer in the stage lights. She was wearing a pink babydoll t-shirt and a pair of jeans, which accentuated her figure. She was pretty attractive, but I had no time for something like that. I had never seen this girl before in my life, yet she looked right at me as the song started, and began to sing. I don't know why, but these lyrics seemed to speak to me.
When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
Yeah, many people have told me this. They say I have a cold heart, but you need one in the cold, hard business world. That's something that Gozaburo taught me. There was no time for love. That's why he adopted me and Mokuba. After Noah died, he had no time for a wife.
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough
Are they retreating? Or am I pushing them away? I do seem to be cold toward other people, but I secretly long for that special someone.
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
She's singing to me. She doesn't seem like the typical fangirl. I wonder if she really knows me.
When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
People hate me. It's just the kind of guy I am. People just treat me the way I treat them. That's probably why that mutt, Wheeler, hates me so much.
I give you a four-leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind
Worry? What worry? I have a multi-million dollar company that needs constant supervision; otherwise, the idiots that work for me would run it into the ground. I am the legal guardian of my little brother, with all the troubles of parenthood. I might or might not be the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian High Priest. What do I have to worry about?
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
She's still looking at me. She has deep, sapphire blue eyes. They accent her hair. Our gaze has not broken once since she started the song.
I've got the only key to your heart
I can stop you from falling apart
Falling apart? I have been slipping away. Dueling was the only thing I could enjoy, no, it was my life. But I couldn't stand losing. I seem to be losing a lot recently, and not just duels. I think I'm losing my mind.
Release yourself from misery
Only one thing gonna set you free
It's my love...
Could this girl have read it on my face? I get up every morning, and I am greeted by that same miserable person in the mirror. Release myself? How? Love? Is there any room in my heart for love?
When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Tragedy? What does she know about tragedy? Was her brother kidnapped by a madman? Was she trapped in an alternate dimension? Was she having visions of things that might or might not have happened 5000 years ago?
My love can cure your problems
Don't forget I'm around
Love, huh? That sounds like something that Anzu girl would say. Love is nonsense. But what is it about this girl. I've never seen her before, yet she dedicates this song to me. Her eyes have a sincere feeling behind them. It's like she knows me. I'm positive that I've never seen her before, and, yet, she looks so familiar. I can't place my finger on it, though.
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart
Not once during the whole song did she take her eyes off of me. It was like she saw the inner workings of my soul, and chose this song just for me. I have to meet her.
I have to find out who she is...
LazerWulf: Dun, dun, DUN! Cliffhanger! Should I keep this girl? See what happens? Or get on with the story? Tell me people!
Joey: If ya ask me, Kaiba doesn't deserve love!
LazerWulf: Well, I'm not asking you, I'm asking our readers.
Joey: I'm still waiting fer Seth ta show up!
LazerWulf: Hold yer horses! I promise to get to Seth AT LEAST by chapter 5. Until then, review!
Phila-Del-Phia!
