Ieyre: Hello folks! Gee, it's been a while since I've posted anything, hasn't it?
Yami Ieyre: *grumbles* Yes, I was enjoying the break...
Ieyre: Well that's special for you. For those of you who've read something by me, sorry about the whole...three month delay thing. At least for "My One", anyway...I haven't given up on that, no way, but I just haven't worked out everything yet.
Yami Ieyre: In layman's term-she never planned the fic from the start.
Ieyre: SILENCE! Anyway, for those who've never read anything by me, I'm Ieyre (obviously) and this is my ever charming Yami. In the time since I last wrote, there's been an addition to our internet junkie family. Everyone, meet CHIBI YAMI IEYRE!
CYI: Hiiiiiiiiii! Meesa Chibi 'Ami Ieyre!!! Mommy Yami says I'm gonna be evil just like her when I grow up!!!
Yami Ieyre: *slight pride* They grow up so fast...to think that it was only a few weeks ago she didn't know what evil was...
Ieyre: -_- Right. CYI was a birthday gift from Brood Mayran, a close net' friend of mine (read her stories!). My birthday was the 2nd of July, and it was a grand affair!
Yami Ieyre: *turning her attention back to her aibou* What do you mean, 'grand affair'? The Birthday cake didn't even have candles on it!!
Ieyre: -_-
CYI: *giggles*
Ieyre: Well, enough ranting! On with the fic, which comes from an idea I perfected while on a trampoline in Belgium. This is not a lie. I swear.
DISCLAIMER: Yugi: Ieyre-sama does not own YGO. If she did, she would use her immense power to buy out Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Inu-yasha, and Dragon Ball Z. And she would steal Seto, Hiei, Sesshomaru, Saito and Vegeta!!! Does this authoress have a love for rivals or what? Oh, and she loves Joey, Kuwabara, Inu-yasha, Sano and Goku! What's up with that? I mean- *in a momentary lapse of character spends several hours ranting about how the authoress loves characters who hate each other*
*****************************************
Joey Wheeler was normal in most every way. He was 16, tall, blond and generally good-natured. He enjoyed eating, hanging out with his close circle of friends, girls, making out with girls, flirting with girls, and, of course, the occasional tasteless girly video.
On the other hand, there were many very strange things about him, as well. For one, an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who had once saved the world inhabited his best friend. Well, for the record, had saved the world on multiple occasions. Joey had also had his mind controlled by a power hungry teen wielding a magic rod that was in allegiance with an evil thief who'd been dead for 5 thousand years.
These things were the tip of the iceberg for Joey Wheeler. He had many strange habits as well...and one of them happened to be sitting in an exceptionally leafy tree and watching a garbage can in the back lot of his school. Which was what he was doing right now.
Why was he doing this, you ask? Well, he was not actually watching the garbage can, but rather, who put what into the garbage can. This PATICULAR wastebasket was in a private parking lot at the back of the school. It was the last of all the garbage to be picked up and was fairly secluded in comparison with the rest of Domino High's waste disposal units.
Being so alone made this garbage can the recipient of many an...illicit object. Cigarettes, beer bottles, and tasteless magazines were the usual. Joey enjoyed seeing what Domino High-schoolers were up to, what they were REALLY up to. It was interesting to Joey to find out what that shy girl in Math REALLY did in the bathrooms, or that that haughty cheerleader who had turned down a date with his best friend actually stuffs her bra with cotton balls and throws them in the can.
That's why every day at certain breaks he would head up his tree to see who threw WHAT in the bin. The tree was perfectly positioned as well, and so good for climbing it was amazing. You could look out through the leafy branches and STILL have a perfect view of the parking lot and aforementioned can.
So this was what Joey was doing one sunny afternoon. So far that day he had seen nothing but a petite, somewhat embarrassed looking girl. The girl deposited an empty tampon box into the receptacle, blushing so hard Joey suspected she had friends waiting in the narrow gap between the back wall and fence. Sure enough, there was a distant giggling noise coming from that direction, and the girl run off, giggling as well.
But that had been over a quarter of an hour before our current scene took place. Joey sighed. Today was always a pretty slow day in the week. Maybe he'd come back later...
Joey froze.
He was in the process of climbing down, when he heard footsteps coming from the gap. He immediately crawled back up into his spot and peaked over the branches to see who it was.
Joey did not recognize the tall figure at first, but he could see plainly that they were a student and male, wearing the rather bright Domino High blue boys' uniform. They came alone, and were rather uninteresting at first sight.
But as the figure strode closer, his features became sharper and clearer. And Joey's eyes widened. First with recognition, then with surprise. And then they narrowed completely and an evil grin replaced them. For there was no mistaking that stride.
Seto Kaiba was walking towards the bin.
Seto.
Kaiba.
For Joey, this was too good, but he definitely hoped it was true. His mind was working everything out in steps:
Seto Kaiba was walking towards the infamous garbage can. With his briefcase. Which meant that he was going to deposit something in it. Which meant that he had something he wanted to GET RID OF, discreetly.
Joey then realized that this meant Kaiba actually KNEW something about Domino High Urban tradition, which struck him as being really bizarre. Nevertheless, he pushed it to the back of his mind and continued his step-by-step analysis of the situation.
If Kaiba wanted to get rid of something discreetly, it was obviously something bad. Or embarrassing. However, weirdo Kaiba logic rendered just about anything even the remotest bit undignified a threat to his pride.
Joey's eyes followed Kaiba's every step as the brunette strode over to the can, face expressionless. The CEO of Kaiba Corp. had always been hard to read, emotionally, and this occasion was no exception. His cobalt blue eyes were nearly vacant, yet held a small but distinct contemplative air, as if the multi-billionaire was in deep thought.
He stopped directly in front of the bin, swiftly. Immediately, Kaiba placed his silver brief case on the ground and bent over it, fiddling with the buttons. Joey peered over the branches, expectantly, and when the CEO had finished, he arose with a single object in hand.
A plain, black tape.
Joey stared at the tape, now clutched in Kaiba's hand, quizzically. What was so bad about it? It was unmarked, not intimidating, and over-all uninteresting looking. The blonde's mind [Yami Ieyre: *smirks* Mind? Yeah right.] raced through the scenarios.
It HAD to be a security tape-maybe Kaiba had been caught making out with one of his secretaries on tape and now he was destroying the evidence. Joey almost laughed aloud at the idea, but he forcibly put his hand on tope of his mouth and turned his eyes back to the dragon tamer.
Said CEO was now holding the tape, and Joey could see even from a great distance away that his hand was shaking. Kaiba was staring at the video with mixed feelings. Instead of immediately shoving it into the garbage can and walking away, he examined the black cassette with a look of great...longing. As if he really didn't want to throw it away at all...
Hurriedly, Kaiba the emotional fortress pushed away any second thoughts he might have had and forcibly pushed the tape into the bin. He then turned away without looking back and grabbed his suitcase, half-running down the alley back to the main school. He left no evidence that he had been there.
Except for the tape.
Joey stared curiously at the spot where his least favorite classmate had been standing, moments before. The brunette had done several very uncharacteristic things, and it perturbed Joey beyond reason.
Kaiba never showed his true motives to anyone, always trying to do things without any help from others and a solid rock intuition. Never swaying, and rarely showing emotion beyond a smirk.
Yet he had just SEEN Kaiba sway. He had hesitated, he wasn't sure. He was uncomfortable about something Seto Kaiba was nervous. About the tape.
Not very Kaiba.
Joey stared at the garbage can a moment longer thinking.
What would be the RIGHT thing to do in this situation? He could get down from his tree, walk to the front of school and he would probably make it just in time for Math Class. If he didn't want to, Joey would never have to think about this event, ever again.
But then, he DID want to think about it. He had a strange mixed feeling-one of dislike, revenge, and...curiosity. What would the CEO want to keep so secret?
Joey smiled. There was only one way to find out...

Ieyre: Dun dun DUUUUNNNN!
Yami Ieyre: *yawns* That was vaguely amusing...what say you, Mini-Me?
CYI: Hehehe...Joey STUPID!!
Ieyre: ^_^;;;;; Well...so, how was this for a first chapter? I know it's probably not very interesting, but don't worry! Next chapter has actual DIALOGUE!
Yami Ieyre: *in mock excited voice* WOW! I can't believe people are actually going to SPEAK to each other in the next chapter!
Ieyre: -_-
CYI: *tries to imitate Ieyre, but fails* ~_~
Yami Ieyre and Ieyre: ^_^;;;;
CYI: *claps little chibi hands*
Ieyre: Well, I better wrap things up...anyway, that was sorta the prologue. Things will move along pretty fast, but expect more of people talking ABOUT Seto than the man himself. Sorry about that ^_^; Anyway, ciao! See you all next chappy!
CYI: BYE!!!!
Yami Ieyre: ...Goodbye, foolish mortals. HAVE FUN, but remember that one day I will RULE YOU ALL!!! So you better get your kicks while you CAN!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA-*is hit over head by frying pan, courtesy of Ieyre* Ouchies...*faints*
Ieyre: Remember kids, don't try this at home ^_^. Oh, and always R&R!!! BYE!!!
