Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Human ❯ Her Eyes ( Chapter 1 )

Hello once again! Here's a new chapter for all of you to read.

'Blah' = Thoughts "Blah" = Speech

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

"Great," thought Seto. "It's Yuugi and his lackeys. That's exactly what I need right now." Indeed. It was just a moment ago when the group had walked through the door and saw the new girl. Jou and Honda were drooling in less than five seconds because, even though the boy's uniforms didn't show much skin, even Seto Kaiba had to admit that it fit the girl's shapely form very well. Even innocent Yuugi has a faint blush on his cheeks.

The girl sent the two boys a glare and said in an almost completely flat voice, "I think the floor has enough torture without you two perverts drooling all over it." 'I like this girl already.' I don't like her in the girl/boy kind of way. I could never like anyone like that', Seto reassured himself. "But this girl, she seems to have more of a brain than any of the other mindless, bubble brained idiots in the class. Jou and Honda looked at each other and quickly wiped away their drool. "Yeah, you pervert! Stop drooling all over the floor!" Honda quickly retorted. "What!? Who're you calling a pervert, pervert!" "I am not a pervert!" "Yes you are!" "No I'm not!" Yes you are!" "No I'm not!"

As the two fought on, the girl's expression softened just a bit and she now had an amused look in her eyes. The beginnings of a smile were tugging at the corners of her mouth. She got up from the desk and walked over to the group, box of chocolate still in hand. Yuugi noticed this and decided to put a stop the two boy's quarrel, if you could even call it that. The group quickly looked at her. Out of all the things she could say, you know what she said? "Chocolate anyone!" She held out the box to the group. Seto mentally face faulted. 'Maybe I was wrong about the brain thing. Now that annoying bitch Anzu just has to open her big trap.'

Anzu took a look at the box. "Hey," she said, "this is the chocolate from that really good bakery, 'Sweets and Things'. But this particular box of chocolate is really expensive. How could you afford to eat it as if you got it from a vending machine?" It was true. 'Sweets and Things' was a cafe/bakery that was very popular. It also sold a variety of sweets, hence the name. It had things that elementary schoolers could afford and things that only people with a steady job could buy. Mokuba kept asking Seto if he could take him, but Seto never seemed to have enough time.

"I should be able to afford it. After all, I do own the bakery." She said this as if it were nothing at all. The others just stared at her. Jou was the first to speak. "Come again?" "I own the bakery. I think if you stare like that any longer, your eyes will pop right out of their sockets", she said with a smirk, obviously amused. This girl had now made an impression on Seto Kaiba that was slightly deeper than the impressions of the other students. She knew something about business and she insulted people with some actual wit in her insults. He couldn't help but be slightly curious about the girl. He quickly buried that curiosity. Why should he even care that this girl existed? She was just another weakling, wasn't she?

By this time, the room had filled up with the other students. The boys were drooling and the girls were shooting daggers at her.

"Wow! That's so cool. How do you find the time to run the bakery and go to school?" Yuugi was the one to ask this. "Well schools really easy for me, so I hardly have to do any real work. Until I'm done at school, I have other people working at the bakery as well so all I really have to worry about is the financial business of the bakery. By the way, what are your names?" "Oh, I'm Yuugi Mouto, these two guys are Jou and Honda, and she's Anzu. What's you name?" "I'm..." At that very moment, the teacher walked in.

"Alright kids, get to your seats. I'm starting roll call." 'I can't believe he does roll call. That's for elementary students!' thought Seto. "Well, Kaiba-san, how kind it is of you to grace us with your presence. Maybe you can be here more often from now on." 'What a tiresome, old senile imbecile of a teacher he is.' Thought Seto. ' I should have a talk with the principle about firing him.' Seto had a theory that if you had enough money, you could buy almost anything, including the firing of a certain teacher. "Well, students, as you can already see, we have a new student with us today. Why don't you come up and introduce yourself?" The girl currently sitting next to Seto shot a glare at the teacher, but got up and walked to the front of the class.

"My name is Li Shido. I recently spent a year in America and returned during late spring. The reason I didn't join you at the beginning of the year is because I had some affairs to take care of."

"Shido-san," the teacher started, "I don't think you should be wearing a boy's uniform. Wouldn't you prefer a girl's uniform instead?" Li shot a more heated glare at the teacher and said in an icy tone of voice, "No, I would not prefer a girls uniform. Besides," she tossed a copy of the school's dress codes to the teacher, "there is nothing in the dress code that says a girl cannot where a boy's uniform." The teacher was flustered by Li's attitude towards him. "You are not aloud to wear sunglasses during class, young lady." The teacher said this hoping to somehow embarrass the girl break her spirit. "They're prescription glasses, old man." "What did you call me?" The teacher by this time was very angry. "Would you like me to call the principle in here?" Li had a smug expression on her face. "Yes, then I can tell them how you were being sexist about me wearing a boy's uniform which I see no problem with and, by the way, in case you didn't know, the fact that I am a girl does not mean that I want to wear some frou-frou skirt. Lets also say how you were trying to force me to take my glasses off, hoping in some way to break my spirit, and goad me into a fight." The teacher started the day's lesson, furious at Li's attitude towards him.

Then Li leaned over to Seto and whispered, "Are all the teachers this stupid?" "No. There are actually a few decent teachers here." She smiled gratefully. "Thank God. That means I won't have to go through the hell of transferring to another school." Seto sniggered. 'Now I know I like this girl. Maybe school won't be so bad.'

~ LUNCH ~

The day passed by uneventfully and lunchtime finally came. Seto usually ate on the roof. No one ever went up there and teachers didn't seem to care. He hated the noise and the mindless chatter in the cafeteria. To the elder Kaiba's surprise, he discovered that another person had invaded his sanctuary. That person was the new girl, Li Shido.

"Why are you up here?" Seto asked. "Probably the same reason you are. It's to escape the others isn't it?" Li made sound as if he were running away. "Escape? Hardly. I just can't stand the mindless chatter of all the sheep." "Whatever you say." Li looked Seto straight in the eye. It was an action that had caused the mighty C.E.O to beat others for. But for some reason, he didn't mind this time. He thought about how he could get lost in those shining eyes. Here eyes were like glittering jewels covered by the thin blue veils that were the lenses of her glasses.

'Get a hold of yourself Seto', he thought. 'What the hell are you thinking?'

"Come. Sit down beside me." Li smiled subtly as she said this. Usually, Seto would have made some snide remark, but for some reason, his mind couldn't find any. Before he knew it, he was sitting beside the beautiful creature that was his classmate.

They both ate their lunches in relative silence. When they were both done, Li took out two lollipops and gave one to Seto. Seto looked at her and said, "You really like sweets, don't you?" Li smiled. "I own a bakery and sweets shop, don't I?"

Seto was puzzled by the attitude of this girl. "How can you act so neutral around me? Don't you know who I am?" Li once again smiled. "Of course I do. You're Seto Kaiba, one of the best duelists that exist. You are the C.E.O of Kaiba Corp. and one of the technological geniuses of our time. You are a ruthless business man but a loving older brother." After she said this, she popped the lollipop back into her mouth. Now Seto was really confused. Everyone that met him for the first time made a big deal about his position, at least at first. This girl seemed to have a lack of respect and fear for him. He stood up.

"Don't you care? Don't you care that with one phone call I could probably destroy your life?" Li pondered this and taking the candy out of her mouth, she looked up. "Yes, but I know you won't." "What? How would you know what I will and won't do?" Li smiled. "Well, as far as I know, I haven't insulted you and there's nothing in it for you if you destroy the life that I live." Seto scowled and looked at his classmate with a hateful glare. "What makes you think you know me so well? What do you think you know about me?"

"Well, I know that you are running away from the feeling of love, trust, and friendship." Seto was shocked. 'What?' His eyes went wide and the scowl disappeared from his features. "You believe that to feel and to believe in these things is folly, and that they are weaknesses that you cannot afford. But Kaiba-kun," Li's expression became very serious. "You must not run from these feelings. Accept them."

Li's whole attitude seemed to change in an instant. She now smiled very gently at Seto. She picked up her things and said, "Well, I'll see you later." She walked through the exit of the roof. To say that Seto Kaiba was shocked would be the understatement of the year.

~ Later That Night: The Kaiba Mansion ~

Seto found himself in the shower once again with a sharp blade, bringing sweet pain to himself. "How?" he thought. "How could she know what I think? But what could she mean when she says not to run, when she says to accept my feelings?" Then he began thinking of her. Her perfect eyes. Her perfect lips. Her sweet voice, providing comfort for his tired soul.

'No!' The blade bit deeper into his flesh, bringing a torrent of crimson blood. 'No. I must not dwell upon this. There is only one truth. Emotions are weakness and weakness will be my downfall.'

He finished his shower and dressed his wound. But as he lay down to sleep, he couldn't help but dream of those beautiful, glittering eyes, watching at him as he watched them.
