Maybe there is Destiny?

by MikeEdwards71

High school is a difficult time for anyone, but try being the CEO of the biggest gaming company in the world who is plagued by the memory of a blue-eyed maiden with white hair, who thinks that he'll never see her with his own eyes again. But how wrong could he be? (awful summary i know sorry but give it a try if you want)

2. Chapter 2

A/N there you go chapter 2 spent the entire day writing this, didn't expect it to go on for so long but had a certain place where I wanted to finish at and was determined to get there

Disclaimer; don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I am making no money out of this

Chapter 2

Seto headed to homeroom early like he always does, he didn't have to be there for another 20minuetres but it was the only place that he could get some quiet. As he was walking down the hall he saw the stares that his classmates gave but he paid them no attention, like everyone else here they were not worth his time.

As he entered homeroom the teacher wasn't either there yet herself, but she always let Seto in early just to keep herself in his good books. As he sat down in his usual seat at the back of the room, he got a phone call. He pulled his phone out of his jacket pocket to see who was bothering him; it was his head of household for Kaiba manor.

"Yes?" Kaiba answered the phone, wondering why Misa Kudara was calling him. "What is it?"

"It's to do with that new help to replace Kuni" answered Misa, knowing that the young man doesn't like having his time wasted.

"Did she go through the process?" queried Kaiba

"Yes, hired through the job agency, not knowing who for and properly vetted" Misa replied

"Good, Good I'm assuming your interview went well then?"

"Yes sir" said Ms. Kudara "she's a young girl who knows that a well-known man owns the house she will be working in who wants to keep his personal life out of the press' business. It's just the interview with you, to see what you think of her"

"Okay Schedule her in for later this week, ill see for myself if she can be trusted around the manor." The CEO informed and before the lady on the other side could answer, hung up.

With that over with, he thought of the old employee that this new girl would be replacing; a young women, who was in her mid-twenties if his memory was correct. She was always around getting under Kaibas feet whilst he worked. He had left his study to use a restroom and when he came back he saw her taking pictures of what was his personal email. When confronted by Seto she quickly broke under his interrogation and admitted that she was planning on selling the picture to the press.

She had quickly been fired and Seto ensured that the woman would never work in Domino again. He hoped that this new one would not be so foolish. He pulled out a book to read to keep his mind occupied whilst he waited for lesson to begin.

After a while the teacher came into the room to set up for tutor time, Mrs. Tenshin was not surprised to see Seto already reading his book, not even glancing up to look at her. A few more minutes later and the rest of the class started to trickle in. eventually Yugi and his gang came in, Seto looked up to see Yugi about to head over to talk to him when the teacher called the classes attention. Meaning the dweebs had to sit down and pay attention.

"Class, this is your final year" began Mrs. Tenshin "and we expect big things of you being the eldest in the year, with new students beginning here we hope that you set an example of what to aspire to"

"Hope they don't look up to money-bags, over there" whispered Jonouchi, Seto hired this remark and glowered at the blonde, who just sent him the same look back. Unfortunately for Jonouchi their tutor had heard the comment

"Jonouchi" scolded Tenshin "You have something to say?" Jo just shook his head scared of the repercussions of his comment

"Thought so" the tutor said, before she could continue there was a strong knock at the door, everyone in the class turned to see who it was.

Standing at the door was a being so beautiful that the entire room was looking at her well almost everyone, Yugi and his friends were staring at the teen at the back of the room, which had dropped his book.

"Can I help you?" Mrs. Tenshin asked

"Yes I hope so I'm the new student" the person asked politely

"Oh yes I was wondering where you had gotten off to" she replied

"Yes no-one told me where I was meant to go, I had to make my way here and I must have gotten lost on the way" the woman said

"Well if you would like to introduce yourself and we'll find someone who is willing to show you around"

"I'm Kisara Kanou" she began "and I don't need showing around I think I can figure it out on my own thank you though miss..."

"Tenshin" filled in the teacher "would you like to take a seat miss Kanou"

"Kisara is fine" she corrected as she sat near the windows, every guy was staring at her but she was used to it. Having long white hair, ocean blue eyes, and pale skin, Kisara couldn't remember a time when she wasn't being stared at.

Kaiba was entranced 'how could she be here?' He thought when he finally dragged his eyes off of her he saw the dweeb patrol staring as well but not at the new girl at him! When their eyes met they quickly looked away awkwardly.

Seto picked his book back up and swiftly went back to reading his book, trying to ignore the sensation to stare her. Tenshin took the register and allowed the class to talk among them-selves. The class took this time to approach the new student sitting alone.

Before Kisara knew what was happening there was a crowd gathered around her desk. They started asking questions about her, like where she was from, did she have a boyfriend and if that was her real hair colour but before she could answer someone spoke up.

"ENOUGH"

Everyone in the room looked at the owner of the voice none other than Seto Kaiba. They were all shocked that he had even spoken, as he usual kept to himself and never paid anyone in the school any attention not even the teachers.

Before anyone could find their voice the bell rang, and the young CEO was the first out of the room and heading for class. Yugi and his friends shared a knowing smile, whilst Kisara was confused why a complete stranger would feel like he had to step in, which he didn't have to she could have handled a few nosey students.

As Seto made his way to his first lesson, who saw the glances and whispers that people were saying no wonder that such an outburst went round school like wild fire. The cool headed business man had just raised his voice to protect a stranger. He berated himself for having feelings overcome his façade. There was nothing he could do about the rumours and gossip but he could keep his emotions in check.

With this in mind he entered his first class, Chemistry, this is one of the only lessons that he could actually cope. Mr. Sayuki was actually a competent teacher, and often discussed the most recent technological advances, often Kaiba corps. So as he sat down in his assigned seat, he wasn't surprised when Mr. Sayuki gave him the work and said that they'll talk once he got the rest of the class working.

Kaiba was happy for some consistency with school life; that was until the rest of the class came in. they were already talking about the incident, as it had been nicknamed, in home room. The elderly chemist saw the looks people through at Seto and quickly brought their attention back to the work at hand. Seto knew what the old man was doing for him; the two had always had mutual respect for the other, so Seto was grateful even though he would never admit to anyone not even his brother.

"Do you want to tell me what that was all about?" Mr. Sayuki asked

"Surprised you don't know already, with all the gossips in this school" spat Seto

"I know a little, something about an out-burst in homeroom?" pried the chemist not fazed by the harshness of the young man's voice

With a sigh Seto explained that there is a new girl at school and everyone was pestering her and he may have raised his voice. The older man knew what had taken over the young lad but knew that it would be dangerous to raise his thoughts to his student. So instead he asked what KaibaCorp are planning on releasing next.

That was how it went for the rest of chemistry with Seto only releasing small amounts of info on his latest project to avoid leaks, even though he trusted the older man to keep their conversations between them. With that lesson over, he bid a good day to Mr. Sayuki and went to Gym.

This was a lesson he didn't mind too much it gave him time to think over plans for KaibaCorp and knew inventions. The coach always got them to do laps for the first half of the lesson, then let the class do any other sport for the rest of the lesson. Seto often just jogged the entire time, as to ensure no-one could approach him. This is what he did for the next hour whilst considering some designs for his next duel-disk.

Seto had kept jogging during his break, but it did anything but clear his head instead he kept thinking of her. He checked his watch and realised that if he didn't get going soon he was going to be late, and the great Seto Kaiba was never late.

He had got a quick shower and changed back to his uniform and set off to advanced calculus which this year consisted of periods 3 and 4. He enjoyed this work as it often gave him a bit of a challenge but still not much, and as always finished the work within 35 minutes. The math teacher often gave him papers to mark, during this time using the excuse that she always forgot and that it would teach him something. She had never explained what it taught him, but he enjoyed this time critiquing the lower years work, scribbling down were they had gone wrong and were to improve.

Just as Seto had finished marking the last paper the lunch bell rang out through the room. Seto piled up the papers and handed it back to the old bat who taught advanced calculus, which as ever was grateful for his assistance. He made his way to the cafeteria it was mandatory for all students to eat together, a rule that Seto had tried to bend on multiple times but the school was adamant that he should at least obey to one or two rules.

So as he entered the cafeteria he made his way to a table in the far corner away from everyone else, he always sat here and everyone knew it keeping their distance. But today someone was sitting there someone that he had only just met this morning but had a lifetime of memories with her.

He wished he could sit anywhere else but a quick survey of the room showed up nothing every other seat was full, but he did notice the whispers and looks exchanged among the other students. With a roll of his eyes Seto sat down opposite the young woman.

She appeared not to notice him, which he felt slightly hurt by, but shoved those feelings down and pulled out his laptop to check on a project that he had been working on for the last week. The hologram projections of the latest duel monster cards that Industrial Illusions will announce in the upcoming weeks, as always they had sent him early access of the cards to be processed to work with all KaibaCorp tech.

A few minutes had gone by before the White haired girl had noticed she had company, she removed her headphones, covered by her long hair and try to make conversation.

"You didn't have to do that you know?" She began

"Do what?" asked Kaiba not looking up from the screen

"Speak up for me this morning" prompted Kisara

"That?" Kaiba said, not sure what to say "Don't worry about it, in fact forgot it, it won't happen again"

"Oh okay" she replied dejectedly, it seemed that the person she was sat with was in no mood to talk, and so she put her headphones back in and ate her lunch.

"I'm sorry" Kisara said suddenly, interrupting Kaiba from his work yet again

"Have we met?" she continued "I mean from before this morning, it's just you seem really familiar and I don't know where from"

Seto was at a loss for words, did she remember about the past as well but he may be quickly getting ahead of himself

"I'm Seto Kaiba" he introduced himself, playing it safe "I run KaibaCorp, you know the biggest gaming company in the world?"

"Sorry not that into games" she replied, with a smile "Give me a good book to read any day of the year"

This disheartened Seto but nevertheless he carried on with his stoic ways

"You many not like games but you do read the paper don't you?" He said "You may have seen me in the press?"

"Yeah probably" she said not completely convinced, but let the topic go any way.

The two sat in silence for the rest of lunch unaware that a group of friends had seen and more importantly heard the entire conversation. When lunch was over Seto made his way back to homeroom or afternoon recess but as he sat down he got another phone call, it was Misa again, his head of household.

He swiftly left the room, showing the ringing cell to Mrs. Tenshin, to let her know where he was going. After he felt he was a safe distance away from prying ears he answered the phone

"Well what took you so long?" the woman asked

"Well Misa, I don't want some school kid hearing about my personal life in class and selling it to the local papers" Seto replied, any other employee spoke to him the way Misa does and they would be out the door before they knew what hit them. But Mokuba had taken a shine to Misa and vice a versa she was kind on the young Kaiba and always was there when Seto needed her to be. So he put up with the woman's nature and attitude, it did also provide Seto with a bit of entertainment when he pushed her buttons.

"I'm calling to tell you that the new girl, has asked for the meeting to be pushed up to tonight as it is the only time that she is available" Misa said ignoring what her boss was telling her.

"Well that doesn't seem too good to say that she's to busy doesn't that mean she's too busy to work?" asked the employer

"That's what I said but she was insistent that it was that or sometime next week, and we both know that you are not a patient man don't we Seto?" Misa was one of the very few people that got to cal Seto by his first name.

"Well I'll give her a shot, book her in for around 8 tonight at the manor, I'm hoping to go to KaibaCorp before I return home after school" informed the elder Kaiba

"Will do" said Misa and hung up on him, with a small smile he set off back to home room. As he entered the homeroom he saw that a certain student wasn't present, but tried not to show how affected he was by this as he sat down. As usual Kaiba took out his book and read trying to ignore the chaos that was around him. Just before tutor time had finished, Kisara had burst in and apologised profusely saying that she had gotten an urgent call and had to answer. This peaked Setos interest, and as he made in to 5th period he wondered what the call was about.

He sat down in the corner and waited for the class to filter in; he would have been dreading this lesson, as Yugi and the mutt were in this one. But lucky for him it was French, and their teacher was a strict one, who had a no nonsense attitude. One that Kaiba respected greatly, instead of dread he was filled with amusement as the mutt struggled with the work and pronunciation of words. Seto had this one thing to be grateful of Gozaburu, who had insisted that he learnt almost every language. Saying it was important that you speak to any potential partner in their own language, showing them that you were serious and more importantly competent.

The lesson ended and Seto set off to his final lesson Art. He hated it was another one of the schools rules that could not be broken; every student must have at least when subject that was related to the arts. From the choice of music, theatrical drama and art, it had seemed like the most obvious choice but now entering the room he wasn't so sure.

Sitting front and centre was Kisara eager to learn sitting with her back straight, Seto hoped that she wouldn't see him as he sat in the corner away from everyone else. The Art teacher arrived, late as usual which irritated Seto. But there was nothing he could do even though he hated the young man who taught the subject, he could not deny that the young gentlemen had a great talent for the topic.

"Okay then, today we will be starting a new project and I believe that it will take some time" said Mr. Kobi "First you will be put into pairs, based on your family names"

Kaiba groaned he hated group work, the person they paired him with was always worthless, and could never get anything done; he always took the lead and did all the work. Then he thought back to this morning didn't Kisara say her name was...

"Kaiba, Kanou" said Mr. Kobi hesitantly, he quickly glanced at the two names he had read out and back to their owners.

"Ms. Kanou, I'm sure we can make an exception if you like?" the Art teacher said nervously

"No, No treat me like any other student I don't want special treatment" Insisted Kisara

The teacher quickly glanced at Seto, unsure whether or not to carry on, but was assured when Seto gave a small nod. With a sigh he carried on listing names, by the time he was done there wasn't much time left before the end of school.

"Okay then, if you would like to sit with your respective partners" Mr. Kobi announced, whilst the class was shifting he carried on speaking "the project we will be doing is the human form"

"What"

"Do we have to?"

"But that's so awkward"

The class protested, meanwhile Kaiba and Kisara sat in silence unsure of what to say to each other let alone in the light of this new information.

"Yes you do" informed Mr. Kobi "the principle had reviewed your work and has deemed that there are certain areas in which you could improve on, now for the rest of the lesson you can decide you will be the subject and who will be the artist first"

"Then half way through the year you will swap over, even of the other has not finished his or her piece" and with that the teacher fell silent. There was a chatter of voices going on throughout the room, some arguing on whom to go first, others who were still protesting about the project."

Whilst this was going on Kisara had turned to Seto and was giving him a strange look.

"What?" Seto rudely asked

"Nothing, just wondering how good you are at art I don't want to be posing for half the year for someone who can barely hold a pencil" Kisara asked matching his tone

Kaiba had to resist the urge to smile "That goes for the same for you too, you know" was his response

"How about a contest?" Kisara asked "to decide who goes first?"

"I thought you said you didn't like games?" replied Seto

"Never said I didn't like games I said I preferred a book" was her witty reply

"Okay what sort of contest?" asked Seto with a smile, liking her more and more

"How about the best one to draw him" she asked pointing at Mr. Kobi

"Mr. Kobi?"

"Yes, unless you're afraid that is too difficult for you?" Jested the woman

"No, of course not"

"Well then let's begin, best one to draw Mr. Kobi By the end of the lesson goes first?"

"Deal" and with that they were of neither were paying attention to the clock until they heard the bell ring.

"Okay then let's see" demanded Kisara, Seto handed over his picture as she passed over her own. Seto had to admit that she had done a lot better job than he had.

"Well if you don't mind me saying, I think I am the winner" stated Kisara confidently

"I just ran out of time" was the lame excuse Seto gave to her

"Sure you did but anyway I think I'm going to let you go first"

"Why?" Seto asked unsure as to why she would let her reward go to him

"Why, isn't it obvious you need all the time you can get to draw me, to the perfection I am" she said and with that gathered her stuff and left the class.

Seto was still sitting there for another 5 minutes, completely enamoured with the young woman who appeared to be so shy and polite. He shook his head and collected his own items; he gave a quick call to Shozo to bring the car to the back of the school, as there was often less press waiting there. By the time Seto had made his way through the haggle of vultures Shozo was already waiting for him.

"Where to Master Kaiba?" asked the driver

"KaibaCorp" was the curt response he gave before adding on "have you already dropped of Mokuba, Shozo"

"No sir"

"What, what do you mean no?"

"Well I was just about to leave to collect him but he called and said that he was going to catch the school bus and walk the rest of the way" replied the driver hesitantly "he said that you were already informed"

"Well I wasn't!" snapped the CEO, and with that comment he pulled out his phone and called his younger brother

"Nii-sama" answered the young Kaiba

"What were you thinking Mokuba, catching the bus?" was the immediate response

"Oh err, wanted the fresh air?"

"Mokuba"

"Okay okay I wanted to feel like an actual kid, not being chauffeured around in a limo, look I've just reached the main gate big brother its fine"

"Fine then next time you feel like pulling a stunt like this, at least tell me about it first"

"Will do Seto" then there was nothing, Mokuba had already hung up, with a sigh Seto asked how much longer they would be before they were at KaibaCorp he got his answer quickly enough as he saw the entrance to the garage.

The young CEO got out and went to his office on the top floor eager to update the main files with the work he had done at lunch time. This took longer than he originally planned as he was swamped with phone calls from different parts of the company; down in the projection labs where one of the new cards was not manifesting properly and kept disappearing, then there was an issue in HR something about a confrontation that ended in security.

It was 7:30 when Seto could finally leave the office, much later then his original plan, he got Shozo to drive as fast as he could to get home but was quickly stuck in traffic it was almost 2 past 8 when he got home.

Mokuba greeted him at the door and had informed him that the new servant was waiting in his office. Seto groaned he had completely forgotten about the meeting that was moved up to accommodate the new girl. He was glad that at least the process of hiring was still on track, he always go Mokuba to guide them to his office, that way Seto cab ask for Mokubas opinion and see how the potential employee would interact with the younger Kaiba. Seto knew that even though they had met Mokuba they still wouldn't know who they would be working for as he kept Mokuba out of the press as often as he could but still there is a chance that he would be recognised.

"I am sorry that this is late" began Kaiba as he sat behind his desk, not paying the young girl a glance "there was some important work at KaibaCorp that had to be sorted out"

"Seto?" the girl said, utterly surprised by the use of his first name Seto looked at the girl, and recognised her immediately , not from the flowing white hair, but from the ocean blue eyes

"Kisara?"
