Chapter I: The Leaper

It all started when a time travel experiment I was conducting went…a little caca. In the flip of a cosmic clock, I went from quantum physicist…to air force test pilot, which would be kinda fun…if I knew how to fly. But I wasn't alone. With me on this little adventure is Al, an observer from the project. Problem is…he's a hologram that only I can see and hear, so he can only lend moral support. In all this, I have to 'put right what once went wrong' in history. I guess that you can think of me as 'The Lone Ranger', with Al as my 'Tonto'…and I don't even need a mask.

"Oh boy…"

"…?" Sam wondered as he looked up.

"Big Brother…are you ok?" A little kid with black hair asked.

Sam looked at the computer screen and saw the reflection of a seventeen year old boy with blue eyes and a grim face staring back at him.

"Oh boy…" Sam said.

"The Problems with Kaiba"

September 17th, 2006

Usually, I try to consider the situation and the person that I've leaped into. Take for example…right now. When I left, I was successful at delivering a piglet. Now, I'm looking at a bunch of papers on a big oak desk, a little kid looking at me with worry and calling me 'Big Brother', and a computer screen staring at me with a model on the stock of a company. This was going to be fun.

"Big Brother?" The black haired kid asked.

"Huh?" Sam asked.

"I asked if you were ok. You zoned out for a minute, which is not normally you. Are you sure that you're alright?" The black haired kid asked.

"Whoa, Sam! I never figured that you'd get into somebody with the big bucks. At least, not someone as powerful as 'Seto Kaiba'...See if you can swipe a pen offa the desk." Al said, waiving his cigar in the air.

"Uh…why don't you go to the kitchen and get something to eat." Sam said, trying to keep up appearances with the kid.

"Right, maybe I can get you something too." The kid said as he left.

When the door shut, Sam turned to Al and asked, "All right, Al, what's going on?"

"Well, Ziggy predicted you were supposed to be Arizona in 1953." Al began.

"Really…Al, THEY DIDN'T HAVE SMALLER PERSONAL COMPUTERS IN 1953!" Sam said in a quiet panic.

"I know, which is why Ziggy's having a screwloose about it. So, can you tell me where you are, besides the fact that you're in Seto Kaiba?" Al asked.

"Well, I'm not too sure…" Sam began before he looked down and saw a tag on a briefcase.

PERSONAL PROPERTY OF: KAIBA SETO

OCCUPATION: PRESIDENT AND CEO, KAIBA CORP.

IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN TO THIS ADDRESS: 1276 SHIZUNA ROAD, DOMINO CITY, JAPAN

"Well, Al, according to the briefcase I'm in Domino City, Japan. Why do I feel like I know that place?" Sam asked.

"…Well, Kaiba Corp. was one of the sponsors of the Quantum Leap Project. They didn't ask too many questions and we didn't give them too many answers." Al said as he looked around the room.

"Al, who was that kid that left the room?" Sam asked.

Al tapped on his mini-computer for a few minutes before saying, "Mokuba Kaiba…he's around his early teens. And he's your brother…well, not your brother, but Seto's brother. And it looks like you got Seto's locket when you leaped into the businessman."

"Locket?" Sam asked simply.

Sam looked down and saw there was a locket shaped like a card dangling from his neck and reaching his upper chest.

"Ok…" Sam trailed off.

Sam walked around the room and looked at a small case that was on the desk. He opened it up and saw that it was a deck of cards.

"Hey, Al, why is there a deck of cards here on the desk?" Sam asked.

Al walked up and said, "Holy…Sam, this is Kaiba's personal Duel Deck! Sam, please tell me that Swiss cheese brain of yours remembers how to duel."

Sam looked at the deck and thought for a few moments before saying, "So far I've got nothing."

Mokuba walked in and asked, "Seto…I think you should stay here today."

Sam turned around and said, "What do you mean, Mokuba?"

"Well…if you don't know your own Duel Deck, then I wonder how much else you forgot." Mokuba said.

"Look, Mokuba, I'm fine…I just kinda dozed off for a minute but I'm fine now." Sam said, trying to alleviate the little boy's fears.

Mokuba looked into Sam's eyes for a moment before he said, "All right, but Yugi and the others are going to call me if something's wrong, ok?"

Sam, thinking that it was normal, agreed.

Mokuba looked at Sam for a moment before he walked out with his Big Brother, all the while thinking that he had lost whatever mind that he thought he had before.

I thought this would be new, a Quantum Leap crossover where Seto Kaiba, the cold businessman and 'leap-ee', trades places with the ever do-gooder Dr. Sam Becket, the 'leap-er'. Tell me what you think. Don't forget, read and review.
