Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Human ❯ Chocolate ( Prologue )

Hey all you people out there! This is my first Yugioh fanfic ever, so please be kind.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh and I'm not going to keep typing this for every chapter.

'blah' = Thoughts "blah" = Speech

Red.

Crimson red.

That was his favorite color. It symbolized his release from what everyone thought he was. Seto Kaiba was the guy with the heart of stone and an icy glare that would put an arctic wind to shame. He only had enough room in his heart for his brother. But Seto was human. He was flesh and blood just like everyone else and the truth was, he was slowly dying inside. The pressure from Kaiba Corp., the lack of sleep, and the need to be invincible were slowly driving him down into the deepest pits of depression and insanity.

He watched as another stream of blood trickled down his wrist.

People wondered why some people cut their wrists. Well, he didn't know about other people, but he did it because it reminded him that he was human. It reminded him of the weaknesses and emotions that still remained within him. It reminded him of what he needed to destroy.

'Emotions are weakness, weakness will be my downfall.'

Seto chanted this like a sort of mantra. Friendship to him was just another weakness. The only weakness he had was his brother, Mokuba. That was the only love he aloud in his barren heart.

He was only able to watch the blood for less than a few seconds before it was washed down the drain of the shower. He only cut his wrists there because the shower got rid of the crimson liquid for him so he didn't have to worry about anyone finding out. If anyone found out about his little hobby, his image would be ruined, and he couldn't have that now, could he? He made sure he always wore long sleeves, and on especially hot days he wore wide wristbands

'Yuugi Motou and his friends talk about how friendship and hope give them the power to defeat all their enemies. Yeah, right. They're just extremely lucky and somewhat skilled. Hope is just a nice way of saying that you're in denial' thought the eldest Kaiba brother. He stepped out of the shower and dried off. Tonight was one of the rare nights where he could actually get a decent night of sleep.

~ The Next Day ~

As usual, Seto Kaiba arrived in style riding in a sleek looking limousine. And, also as usual, before most anyone else that was a student. Kaiba Corp was doing very well for now so he could dump any most of any work he had to do on other people. He sat in the empty classroom and took out a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula. He didn't really care for the themes of friendship, but he could not deny that it wasn't a good book. But suddenly, he didn't feel like reading it, so he put it back in his schoolbag. So now he was sitting in an empty classroom with too much time to think, that is, until something unexpected happened.

Someone stepped into the classroom.

'What? I was sure I had another good five minutes before anyone started showing up.' But when Kaiba took a better look at them, he was a bit surprised.

The person who stepped in was a girl he had never seen before, and boy, what a sight she was. She had long, raven black hair kept back in a low braid. The tips of the hair had been dyed crimson red. She had white, smooth looking skin and perfect, soft looking lips that were a deep shade of dark pink. Strangely enough, she wore a boy's uniform. She also wore fingerless gloves and a pair of wire frame glasses whose lenses had been tinted deep blue, making her large eyes look purple. She had double piercings in both her ears. Each ear had a silver stud and hoops and another small silver hoop in her left ear where the cartilage had been pierced.

Her expression was blank and her stare was somewhat cold as she sat down in the desk next to him. That desk had been empty for a while because it's previous occupant had moved to another city.

(A.N: Convenient, no? ^_^)

She took out what looked like a box of chocolate from her bag and popped one in her mouth. Then she held out the box towards him and looked at him expectantly. He just looked at her.

"Well, aren't you going to take one?" He ate one hesitantly. (A.N: Whoa, didn't see that coming!) He was surprised at her forwardness. Didn't she know who he was? He was, however, grateful for the sugar that would keep him awake in first period for at least a little while. The chocolate was filled with something. He wondered what it was. "Amareto (1) cream" she said, as if she could read his thoughts. He took another chocolate before Yuugi Motou and his friends stepped through the class door.

TBC.
