Chap 6
Sunset?
Wolf ears and a tail.
It would have been comical if it didn't look so unnatural.
Blonde, like his hair, but for some reason with a brilliant silver tint that made the hair-fur- shine, glossy. After a while it stopped being ridiculous and became awe-inspiring as his father transformed into a golden wolf with an edge of silver to his coat.
His father made a series of movements and sounds that somehow translated into words in Joey's head.
"You'll look much like I do when you transform…"
"You've met spirits before so you know enough about them. They're souls that haven't passed on for some reason, simple. Though they easily become attached to people and sometimes to objects, my chauffer being the perfect example-."
"Laz is a spirit?" Joey's expression was incredulous.
"He is. Onward, nothing much is known about the Fallen God Sect, except that they're ruled by an even bigger asshole than myself."
Joey blinked and narrowed his eyes at Seto.
"That's a pretty big asshole." He said, almost cautiously.
Seto smiled faintly, bitterly at this.
"I am aware of what people think of me."
Joey squirmed slightly, looking nervously as Seto's half lidded eyes.
He felt the strange urge to comfort his enemy, to tell him the little lies that would make him feel better until Joey made them true, like he'd do with Yugi. Before he could conduct this absurd action Seto continued.
"The humans in HSect do not only keep the peace between the Sect and human world, but between the Sects themselves as well. It's part of their job description. We start fighting and you get a mass of supernatural creatures breathing fire on the news."
Breathing fire…
Dragons do that right?
"Dragons. Rich bastards. They're known as much for their elegance as their capability for destruction."
It would either take a lot of anger or plain vindictiveness to gain a reputation for causing destruction. From what he'd seen of Kaiba he swayed more to the vindictive, but it didn't seem enough. I mean the guy is awfully suppressed and he'd often see the anger in those sharp, blue eyes, so he guessed a little bit of both.
"Listen to me mutt, I don't talk because I like the sound of my own voice."
"Why wouldn't you?" Joey asked unthinkingly.
"I -what?"
"I think it's pretty nice to listen to. A little harsh but it's gentler when you talk to Mok-." he was abruptly cut off by a hand pressed to his mouth. A familiar hand that smelled like paper and vaguely of a shampoo, like it was run through fragrantly scented hair regularly. This hand was almost immediately followed by his own palm. He meant to stop himself from talking as well but now it just looked like he was holding Seto's hand.
His eyes widened and Seto frowned, but shrugged it off and leaned closer to his face.
"What is that supposed to mean pup?"
Joey frowned and rolled his eyes before glancing at the hand over his mouth. Seto raised an eyebrow and pointed at the hand atop his. Joey blushed and removed his hand, Seto's hand followed. He sighed as Seto sat back down in his chair and continued talking.
"The Imagine Sect can consist of anyone. It doesn't matter what Sect you were born in, if you're going to be useful to them you're accepted."
Seto looked to Joey to see if he was paying attention, Joey nodded.
"Any questions?"
Joey looked thoughtful for a second then met Seto's eyes again.
"Yeah. Do they have humans there? In ISect?"
"Regular human scientists? Rarely, though it's just as hard to find scientists in the HSect as they're more lawyers and reporters and such. I suppose if a human is smart enough to get close enough to the truth or just smart enough they would be recruited as well."
"Cool."
It didn't mean he could involve his friends but it did mean they could involve themselves. He had to be careful though, the way this worked, he couldn't give them hints they'd have to figure it out themselves.
He sighed. So really, he could do nothing. He was basically on his own if you didn't count the slightly bemused CEO/prince sitting before him. Argh! What was he going to do?
"Are you quite done with your inner rant now?" Condescending, with a touch of impatience and maybe the slightest hint of… worry? Could that even be…? Nah. That crazy imagination…
"Yeah, yeah sorry."
"Then there is my Sect. Do you wish to witness a dragon's power?"
Joey's eyes widened.
"Hell yeah! You'd show me?"
"No."
Joey's face fell.
"Ass."
Seto smirked and then his face stiffened into a regal expression.
"We are ancient. We are the beasts born with this planet, its constant companions. We not only share a history with it but its treasures as well. It is our nature to guard what is ours and the gold and gems of the Earth are such. We take what comes with the wisdom of our age as our race precedes yours by millennia."
"…Why does it sound like you're reading that off a piece of paper?"
"I think I sound fairly convincing."
"Well yeah. It was perfect. It just wasn't you."
"And what would you know about me, mutt?"
"Well, you're more direct when you're tellin' someone they're inferior to ya. And that whole thing boasted age, experience. You'd go more for the smarts."
"There was that part at the end about wisdom."
"Yeah, but you're for intelligence, there's a difference."
Seto raised an eyebrow.
"Well if there's anything I know it's how you phrase your insults." Joey rolled his eyes.
"True." Seto acquiesced.
"Well, we're similar to the CSect. We can transform into dragons. Unlike the CSect though, which are actually made up of part-humans, we use special magic that gives us a shell that resembles the dominant, intelligent species. We obtain all the traits of the dominant species through this process and yes we do breathe fire. Any questions?"
They do breathe fire, huh?
Yep, definitely capable of mass destruction. I'd warn myself about getting on Kaiba's bad side but he pretty much already hates me…
"Do you have wings?"
"Yes, it is part of our original forms."
"Do you ever use your real forms?"
"Yes, though only on Drakonia Island."
"Drakonia Island?"
"Yes. An island belonging solely to dragons. We're allowed to go there for special ceremonies, though some dragons abandon mingling with the dominant species and live there permanently. I'll be visiting in six months." He muttered the last part to himself as a reminder.
"Huh? Why?"
"We dragons are very partial to the number seven for various reasons. So every seven years into every new decade of our lives, we visit. The first time I went I was seven, I'll go this year as well and again when I'm twenty seven as well."
Joey frowned.
"Wait a minute! When's yer birthday?"
"…The twenty fifth of October. Why?"
"And you haven't turned seventeen yet?"
"No, I'm still sixteen."
"Then that means… I'm older than you!"
"You're… what?" A disbelieving look crossed Seto's usually straight face with an edge of exasperation to it.
"Older! Than you! January twenty fifth, ha!" A look of triumph made Joey's face glow.
"Okay…"
"I mean, you just act so old all the time, it really came as a surprise-"
"Wheeler."
"You're just so mature an' high an' mighty an' stuff, and ya don't act sixteen that's fer sure-"
"Hey mutt."
"And you know what else? You probably haven't told anyone else when yer birthday is, so I should feel special, right?"
"Wheeler!"
"I mean, have you even celebrated yer birthday before? I bet you have though 'cause Mokuba's the type o' kid that wouldn't let you ferget that sorta thing. So I guess I swear to ya, Seto Kaiba, in six months, when this is all over, the gang and I'll come here and make you celebrate yer birthday I-"
"Joey!"
"-promise. Yeah?"
"Are you done?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"Can we move on?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Okay. That's all you need to know about the DSect."
An orange glow set on Seto's face.
That looks pretty. Joey thought.
The sunset… the sunset!
"Sunset?" Seto puzzled. He glanced sideways and his eyes immediately became transfixed. He stood up and walked towards the window, fingers lightly grazed the windowpane.
"And thus you depart and I welcome the moon this night." He murmured.
"Nyeh?" Joey said loudly to the left of Seto. He blinked and glared behind him to the left.
"Ah yes. The CSect. I haven't told you about them."
"No need to Kaiba. My dad an' I are gonna have a talk tonight. I'm jus' wonderin'… what was up with that 'and thus you depart' stuff jus' now?"
"Hmm? A habit… of my father's."
"Your dad?" Joey repeated.
"And my grandfather, his father before him and onwards."
"Well why do you say it?"
"It's said for various reasons; I have yet to find mine."
"What does it mean?"
"It's being thankful for the light of day; there was a time when that did not exist. Recently it's become a thank you for anything good in one's life. Mostly for a love."
It didn't look like he was going to continue so Joey just watched him watch the sunset. A thank you. Usually for a love. Then why would Kaiba be saying it? He couldn't possibly have a girlfriend. I mean, the bastard isn't capable of love.
…Is he?
Vamp: of course not! That ************ doesn't have a ****** soul
Choc: That's mean Vamp. Of course he's able to love or else he and Joey wouldn't have their kissy time 3
Kam: you're both so irritating.
Choc: But you still love us
Vamp: STFU *****
Kam: wow, what's up with you? You sound like you're about to wring Zack's neck for an hour.
Vamp: tired. And he helped with this chapter and that frustrates me
Choc: I love Zack :D we were tired and needed the help, plus it was hilarious working with him :D
Kam: okay, that's enough about my amazing/infuriating cousin. Let's thank other people! Like Eriasa Jun and wishfulliving89! Thank you for reviewing. You get a Brand! New! Thank you at the end of my chapter… from me… yay…
Vamp: regrettably, it's not returnable.
Zack: shutup.
Vamp: you!
Zack: me!
Vamp: I refuse to acknowledge your usefulness! DIE!
Choc: Don't worry cousin, I'll protect you!
Zack: from what? What are two voices in my cousin's head going to do to me?
Vamp and Choc: oh no you di'nt. (chases Zack)
Zack: (runs away) this isn't actually happening!
Kam:….. good… uh, goodbye…. And review! :D
