Hello again! Dear wonderful person.
Have you told yourself you're awesome yet today?
Well I haven't. I'M AWESOME!
And so are you, in every way. :D
Well, now that my overexcited bubbly moment is over, let's get down to business.
I want to thank Nightmare Senshi for my first ever super special awesome review and it is going to be quite interesting my friend. In my opinion. But we don't get to the proper genetic modification until later. For now it's just Joey starting his quest almost all alone, like an idiot.
I feel I probably should have mentioned in the prologue that this is a yaoi story. Oopsie. For peoples who don't like that you're welcome to leave but I'd encourage you to stay for the story, because I don't write as much for the couple as I write for their adventures.
I have quite a few pairings 1) because I'm indecisive, 2) because I felt like it and 3) because it's fun when you have a bunch of people to mess around with :P So here they are:
DukexTristan (Already mentioned in prologue)
SetoxJoey (Main pairing)
YugixAtem/Yami (They are basically the same person I'm not going to differentiate)
There will be more and they will all be BxB so be warned, because making people gay is fun! :D
So now that that's all cleared up, here's the disclaimer and the first chapter of my wonderful new story: VSect-The Birth
le Disclaimer: I own many things, thanks to my wonderful parents, but I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Chap1
If They're Destined to Meet Why Not After School?
The memory loss came in stages.
The first day was absolute clarity. He recalled every moment of his birth and recounted every hour of every day of his life as a child.
Then the second day came and that clarity was lost. When he learned to walk, to talk, those memories… gone. It was not that he didn't know how to anymore, just how he learned, who taught him, that faded into black.
"How much more…?" he murmured.
"How much more of my life will I lose?"
On a mild Monday morning a blonde head bobbed through a crowd of brunettes, similar (though rare) blondes and others, all headed in one direction: the entrance to Domino High School. This particular blonde head belonged to one Joey Wheeler, and it was filled with concerns for his recently vanished friends.
Not far off another fairly-important-to-the-story-neatly-styled-chestnut-brown head pushed open a limo door and walked in the same direction of the throng. It drew close to Joey, feeling, though no one would believe it and itself would certainly deny it (claiming superior intelligence and lack of emotion all the while), equally concerned as our Joey and for the same thing. Would you believe that? Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler having something in common. Next thing you know they'd ne having a decent, civil conversation with each other…
"Mutt."
"Jerk."
Yeah. I knew it was too much to hope for.
Their morning greeting out of the way the two rivals, in an absent minded silence, entered their classroom together. Friends hushed friends and poked acquaintances and there was an almost instantaneous silence. Then the whispers started, following Seto and Joey to their desks.
"Is that Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba… not fighting?" "Did hell freeze over or something?" "They walked in here together and we didn't hear them from the hallway?" "I told you to stop chewing on my pen caps!"
They sat down almost simultaneously and turned to stare out a nearby window, lost in thought. The bell rang and their teacher walked in, late as usual but always on time for the first real lesson of the day.
"Morning class. Joey, Seto, stop bickering before I put you both in deten… tion… again…"
A wide eyed Yuki Nakamura stared at the two boys who could not possibly be Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler.
"Are… are you two okay?" They didn't seem to hear her. "Seto! Joey!" Each head snapped toward her, though with Seto it was more of a quick flick of the eyes toward the woman then a slow lazy turn of the head, like he was bored. Both gave her their full attention.
"Are you boys… feeling okay?"
Joey tilted his head to the side quizzically in a way that resembled a curious puppy. Seto's only change in expression was a quirked eyebrow.
"Why?" they asked in unison.
Seto turned his head slightly to the right to send an annoyed glance across the aisle that separated their seats. Joey glared right back. Yuki sighed in relief; all was right with the world.
"You boys are just fine then. Okay, open your books to page forty seven and read the first paragraph… Téa."
Silence answered this and a dark aura fell over Joey, Yugi and strangely over Seto as well. After a cursory glance Yuki decided to chance asking about Miss Gardner.
"Do any of you know where Téa is?"
Seto looked indifferent, Joey clenched his fists and looked away, Yugi attempted to answer the question wishing he had Atem with him to comfort him and give him the strength to say this steadily.
"Not here… She'll be gone for a while… I don't know how long."
He noticed Miss Nakamura give him a concerned look and, sensing that she should not pry, continue.
"Okay then, Kana please read the first paragraph on page forty seven."
"Yes ma'am."
"What were they even doing out, late Saturday night, anyway?"
"Getting a birthday gift for you Tristan." Yugi replied.
"What? Who told them my birthday was this Saturday?"
"Well me, o'course."
"Joey!"
"What Tris? You know how much Duke loves ta party, so I uh, mentioned it in passin'."
"Strange, I was there and it sounded like you gave Duke the exact time and place of Tristan's birth."
"Shut up Ryou."
Tristan glared at Joey over the table.
"What? He was askin'!"
"He-what?"
"Well he asked if anyone's birthday was comin' up and I mentioned yours, then he started askin' me 'bout things ya liked an' stuff and we ended up havin' a whole conversation 'bout ya."
"Huh? I already told Duke my birthday was coming up; I said I didn't want anything though."
"Well there ya go! Then you can't blame be can ya?"
"This is still your fault!"
"What? How!"
"I don't know but somehow-."
"Really!" Yugi's outburst managed to surprise all three remaining boys into staring in stunned silence at the infuriated tri-colour haired boy.
"I can't believe you two are arguing when two of our friends are missing!" he whispered the last word and no one could miss the frantic look of worry in his sweet purple eyes. One could almost hear him thinking: not again, I can't stand losing anyone else… please.
"Remind me again why we didn't call the police?" Tristan seemed to have sobered.
"Because of that thing ya mentioned, the VSect. I mean, what they said they were goin' ta do sounded mad scientist like, that's gotta be somethin' supernatural right?" Joey supplied.
Time seemed to stand still for Seto Kaiba, who didn't exactly choose the best or worse time to walk past the friends' table. He froze next to a seated Joey. Tristan noticed this.
"What do you want Kaiba?" he asked rudely.
Joey whirled around in his seat. "Moneybags? What're you doin' back dere?"
"Hello Kaiba, you want to join us for lunch?" Yugi, sticking true to a hopeless routine, asked.
Ryou merely stared nervously yet curiously at the new arrival.
Seto just stood still, having difficulty, for once in a long time, holding back his questions and deductions. Did the dog just say what he thought he did? Not again. This was tiresome. These people seemed to come across the supernatural an alarming amount of times. He didn't notice Joey until the boy was mere centimetres away.
"Moneybags?" he drawled. "Uh, Seto?" he called uncertainly.
"Get out of my face mutt." Joey jumped back in comical surprise, waving his hands crazily, at Seto's sudden coming back to life. That didn't last long as he almost immediately got back into Seto's personal space, looking up slightly as the other boy was half a head taller than him.
"I am not a-." Joey paused and abruptly sat down; he seemed lost in thought again.
"What's wrong mutt? Cat got your tongue?" Tristan was about to retaliate for Joey as it looked like the blonde's brain had just up and gone for a walk, leaving his body staring hollowly at the floor, when the bell rang. Joey was startled out of his reverie by the noise and Seto looked up. As the blue-eyed boy turned to walk away he felt warm breath on his neck, stopping him in his tracks.
"This ain't over moneybags."
"I hoped not. Meet me behind the school after classes."
"By the tree?"
A nod.
"I'll be a little late, wait for me."
Seto whipped around to snap at him about how Seto Kaiba waits for no one but the blonde had already bounced away towards his friends.
If they were destined to meet, why not after school?
I know that they've already met and all but this is different. It is the beginning of a rather difficult relationship, that wasn't the easiest to begin with. Does it seem like I disregard Téa too much? I hope not. I actually don't hate her, she just doesn't seem all that important to me. So I'm not going to kill her off. I've decided she'll be an at least slightly distressing spice to add to the sauce that is my story. :D
Here it is. I finished and posted the chapter as soon as I could after my first review. Thanks again Nightmare Senshi.
Well, looks like today's gonna be update day. Every Sunday (or Wednesday if I'm feeling extra good) I shall update.
Please leave a review, talk to me, you wouldn't believe how happy it makes me to hear from you even if it's bad news.
Ciao my Chinas ;P
