Clone

Chapter 3

Seto would almost seem like a perfect human that is if you never noticed the tattoo etched on his left shoulder, which may be the case. However, he wasn't meant to be great, he wasn't born, no, he was made and anything made could never be great. For you see greatness is usually born not made. Whatever the circumstance, Seto was great and so believed himself to be. From early on, when the man who had asked that he be made had taken him from the usual process of cloning development so that his son had a clone that would be there for his whole life. Well, that already set Seto off from the average clone. His young owner however, allowed Seto to go about as he pleased, if Seto wanted to learn to talk, well, he learned. Reading wasn't all that hard either, nor was mathematics. However, his owner never considered him to be a clone really, more so like a companion for when you have all the money in the world, you can never become friends unless you make them yourself. For being a clone, though, anyone would have to admit Seto did have it well off, his own credit card, with endless credits, he could drive and had a nice Mustang convertible with all the extra features. Not to mention that he could go about and beat up on whomever he pleased as long as it wasn't his own owner. Whatever the case, he was different from most in the sense that he had a much higher I.Q. than most clones ever were able to even dream of reaching. Now, it was a day like any other that Seto decided he'd step into one of his favorite bookshops to buy the latest book in a series of novels. Of course, this turned out to be more than just an ordinary day. For, you see, he saw a clone he'd never seen before sitting beside his owner who by the way was turned so that Seto couldn't see the boy's face. It wasn't this that shocked Kaiba, but that the kid was actually talking to his clone as though the clone was a human being. Not only that, but, as the boy spoke, Seto realized that the kid was buying learning books for the clone. Seto watched the two from a distance, the clone the whole time silent, but grinning happily. "Now, Yami, when we get home, you can work on these, and learn how to use the silverware, and I guess it'd be okay to potty train you as well.", the boy replied.

"Yami will do whatever Yugi thinks Yami should do.", the clone replied.

"Right, now... Let's see, we have basic reading, math, science, history... That seems like enough for now.", Yugi muttered, "We'll go pay for these, and then head for home and have some dinner.",

As the two turned to go, Seto stared after them with awe, he waited until after they left to make his purchase, and head home as well. He couldn't wait to tell Joey about this.

.....

Yugi waited for Yami to step through the door before closing it. "Now, Yami I think we should teach you how to eat with utensils first.", Yugi said, setting the warmed up dinner in front of Yami, "These are a fork, a knife, and a spoon.",

"Fork, knife, spoon.", Yami repeated.

"A spoon is used for foods that are too small or too liquid to pick up with a fork. A fork is used to spear pieces of larger foods and stick them in your mouth, a knife is used for cutting the very big foods into smaller pieces.", Yugi demonstrated each way to use them, and then watched as Yami tried.

When he finally got down how to use the utensils, Yami learned how to help with the dishes, and was also potty trained, of course, Yugi had to help him with the pants, but, that was okay, he'd learn how to get dressed in the morning. Of course, he sat by and watched Yami work with vigor on his workbooks until late into the evening hours. "So, tomorrow, we teach you how to dress, and get you some more workbooks I guess.", Yugi told him.

Yami nodded, yawning, before curling up on his cushions.

.....

The clone was struggling against his captor's grip, having already been sent back to his owner twice before, he was not willing to go back again. The clone twisted himself from the grasp of the hands, and broke free. He began to run, only about a foot away, a great surge of pain covered his entire being, and he fell into darkness... "Well, if it isn't my dear Ryou trying to escape me again....", came the words of his Master.

.....

Seto decided to go down the bookstore again, to see if the clone, and his owner weren't there again. He wanted to know their names, as odd as it seemed, to study how the two interacted and such. He was lucky too, Yugi and Yami were both there the next day, Yami clothed a little sloppier than the day before. "I'm sure you'll get the hang of dressing yourself soon, Yami, just take your time on learning this stuff.", Yugi replied, "So, let's see, you've already gotten all the way through your first books, all preschool levels, so let's move on to first grade.",

"Hello?", Seto said, a little unsure of himself, "I couldn't help but notice how you were treating your clone... I'm Seto by the way.",

He held out a hand towards Yugi's own, and they shook. "What do you mean how I am treating my clone?", Yugi asked, "I'm only letting him do as I'd like him to be able to do.",

"Yugi love Yami, Yugi let Yami learn.", Yami spoke to Seto himself.

"Does he really mean that? That you love him?", Seto asked.

"With all my heart, yes. He may be a clone, but, he's still human.", Yugi stated, firmly, "So I treat him as one.",

"I see.", Seto said, quietly.

"Why'd you ask me anyway?", Yugi asked.

"Well.... If you really want to know.", Seto turned so that only Yugi would see it, and rolled down his collar until the shoulder showed.

"You mean you're?", Yugi whispered.

"Yeah, I'm a clone, all right?", Seto whispered in his ear.

"Wow.", Yugi replied, "Well, I guess it was nice meeting you, um... Seto....",

"Nice meeting you two too.", Seto replied, leaving the store first.

"More learning books?", the person at the counter asked.

"Yes.", Yugi replied, "He already made it through the first set.",

"I see... Well, happy to see some of us enjoy having intelligent clones.", she said, smiling brightly.

"I'm sure glad some of us do.", Yugi replied, walking out the front door with Yugi.
