Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Nightmare ❯ Meetings ( Prologue )

(This is my attempt at an AU fic about Noa and his father, Gozaburo. (Since I know so little about them, I'm doing an AU, K?) I've, so far, seen a clip about six minutes long that had Noa in it, and it was the last six minutes of the Noa Arc, so you'll have to forgive me for any of my pitiful mistakes, as that is all I have to run on. Since I know nothing about Noa's mother, I shall assume she died giving birth to Noa. Therefore, Noa's mother is unknown to him, and Gozaburo shall not speak of her. In that one clip that I saw Noa in, I noted that he called Gozaburo something that sounded like Chichuei, but my friend and I have decided it is Chichi, the Japanese word for father. I apologize now if that is incorrect. Bare with me. Now, onto the fic, which is in Noa's POV.)

-~^~-

"Chichi!! Play with me!!" I call, as Chichi walks into the mansion.

My father sighs down at me. "Not now, Noa. I have work to do."

I frown. "But, Chichi, you just spent all day at work!" I cry, playing the part of the foolish nine-year-old I am.

Chichi shakes his head. "Noa, we've been over this. Go play with the servants." He tells me, then turns away and goes to his office.

I clench my hands into fists. "Yaro. You never pay me any attention. If you were to, you might know why I'm so different from all the other students." I grab my shoes and storm outside, slamming the door after me.

Chichi shouts something upstairs, and one of the servants peek out at me. "Kaiba-sama would like to know where you're going, Noa-sama."

"To my friend's house. He lives right down the street." I reply in annoyance. ~He doesn't have time to play with me, but when I want to go out, he has to know everything about me!~

The servant nods and goes to tell Chichi. I wait. She comes back. "He says you can't go. It's late." She tells me.

"Tell him to come get me then." I hiss, then stalk off down the lawn.

The servant gapes after me. "Noa-sama!! Come back!!" She cries. She won't come after me, though. She's as afraid of me as she is of Chichi. It tends to work to my advantage a lot.

I can feel his eyes at my back. He's trying to figure out which house I'm going to, no doubt. Well, he won't find out. I'm not going to a house on this street. In fact, the place I'm going is in the slums of Domino, where I like it best. That's where all my friends hang out. They're all older than me, but they respect me. I smirk to myself as I catch the city bus. It has Kaiba Corp's logo on it. Perfect.

I hate being my father's son. I'm known virtually everywhere. I've never had any kidnaping problems, but I assume that's because my friends in the slums hold those idiots at bay. I would like a chance to deal with one kidnaper, though. It would make me feel better. And it's not like I can't defend myself. I still think I do a better job than my father's body guards.

I glance out the window. The shops are all so boring in these parts. The orphanage.... I gape. There's a boy in the front of the orphanage that looks almost exactly like me! I grab the signal to make the bus stop, then hurry off when it does. I run up to the orphanage fence. It's just a little too tall for me. Damnit.

I hop up and down a few times, trying to get a better look at the boy. One of the adults sees me and walks over. "Konban wa, Kaiba-kun." She smiles. "May I help you?"

I blink and point to the other boy. "Who's that?" I inquire as I lose sight of him. Damn fence.

"That's Yagami Seto. Why?" She gives me a look.

"He looks like me, that's all." I shrug.

"I see..." She looks back over at the boy. "Seto-kun, could you come here?" She calls over, then opens the gate for me. "Come on in, Kaiba-kun."

"Arigatou." I say with a slight bow, walking into the yard. I come face-to-face with the boy.

His eyes widen. "Uhm... Konban wa...." He mumbles, eyes hidden behind his bangs.

A little black-haired boy beside him frowns and pokes me. "Why do you look like Oniisan?" He complains.

I give the younger boy a dark look. "Don't poke me."

"Mokuba-chan, keep your hands to yourself." Seto tells the boy. The boy, Mokuba, hangs his head and inches closer to Seto. "Who are you?" Seto asks me.

"Kaiba Noa." I tell him. "And you are Yagami Seto. That is your brother?" I glance at the black-haired kid.

"Yeah. This is Mokuba." He gives me a calm look. "Why are you here?"

~Ooh... Smart ass. Thinks he's all that, huh?~ I smirk. "I came to see why you look so much like me, that's all."

"You came here to gawk." Seto decides.

I glare at him. "Is that what I said?!" I nearly shout.

Seto snickers. "No. That's just what I defined what you said as." He smirks. "I'm not afraid of you, Noa-kun."

"You little..." I start.

"Noa!" Chichi calls as the limo stops outside the orphanage. He walks over to the fence while Seto and I glare daggers at one another.

"Bai-bai." Seto snickers.

"Noa, get out here. Stop talking to orphanage trash." Chichi orders.

I smirk at Seto. `I'll be back, yaro.' I mouth at him. Then I turn around and walk out the open gate.

Chichi's hand falls on my shoulders and steers me into the limo. Then he gets in. "The mansion." He orders the driver before turning back to me. "Right down the street my ass. Why were you talking to that kid, anyway?"

"I just wanted to see why he looked so much like me. I really was going to my friend's house, though." I say as innocently as I can manage.

Chichi's brow furrows in thought. "That boy, do you like him?"

"What?!" I startle.

"Do you like him? I think it would be good if you had a kid your own age to play with at the mansion. I don't like you leaving like you did earlier." Chichi explains.

I gape at him. A brother! I could have a brother! "Chichi, the boy, Seto, he has a little brother, though..." I say sadly. Having Seto around... That would be, a dream come true! I could have a real brother!

Chichi blinks at me. "Point?" He inquires.

~Duh. You're rich and live in a mansion. Where's the problem?~ I feel like smacking myself. I'm such an idiot sometimes! I smile up at Chichi. "Could you adopt them both, Chichi?" I beg.

"Tell you what, when I get home from work tomorrow, we'll go over to the orphanage and adopt them. Tonight, let's play a game." Chichi smiles down at me.

This can't be happening! But it is! I pinch myself lightly. I'm awake. I hug Chichi tightly. "Arigatou, Chichi!!" Chichi responds with a soft chuckle.

A/N: I hereby dub this, a new series! *groans* Well, until it hits the hentai world, this is staying up on MM.O, and maybe even FF.N. A new ficcy for all to read, then discard b/c it's not hentai! WOOHOO!! *kills parents*

This is, obviously, an AU, but I'll try and keep the characters in character as much as possible. I figure I can play with them a little, since, in America, Noa isn't even known, and younger Seto is barely touched on.

Well, we'll see where this goes!!
