I'm finally done with Spirit World Duelist and it was about time too. I've been wanting to do this fan fiction for like EVER! Anyways, this will be like At-Em-Oh, only the storyline will be completely different from the original.

EDIT: Okay, I have received a critic to try to make my stories, taking place in Japan, less American and more like the Japanese culture and I will be trying to do it. Just be aware that I know nothing about Japan, never lived there, and this is based on what I find online if I do find it. I will use English names despite this. I'm not going to be dealing with "san," "sama," or whatever suffices I'm supposed to be using. This is in English not Japanese or Janglish or Englese. Alright, here it is. Review please!

"Hello class, we have a new student today!" The teacher of the class announced. It was Home Room and everyone was waiting boredly for this new student to arrive. The teacher, Mrs. Riddle, smiled brilliantly as she faced the new student in his desk staring down at the table of it. "Will everyone please meet Yugi Moto and give him a warm welcome to Domino High?"

Everyone clapped, but seemingly uninterested. Yugi continued to stare at the table of the desk with a blank look. There were many things going through his head continually and did not notice anything the teacher said or what the students did.

"Yugi?" The teacher called before Yugi slowly lifted his head up. "Can you tell us a little about yourself?" Yugi shook his head, then stared at the table again. "Again, welcome."

Everyone began murmuring amongst themselves as Yugi stared at the desk. He dug under the jacket of his school uniform and clutched tightly onto a locket around his neck. He could hear the clattering of his teeth as that familiar voice rang in his head.

"Co'mon Spiky, let's go sneak in for ice cream!" Yugi heard that voice in her head through the stream of what were once happy memories.

Yugi still remembered that memory of waiting in line with a bunch of kids. All of them were pushing him out, because he was so short. Everyone was wanting ice cream. Yugi tried to push himself through, but he continually was being pushed back.

"Please! Let me through!" Yugi cried as a little five-year old before one kid pushed him to the ground.

"Out of the way, Shrimp!" The big kid said after pushing Yugi.

"How about you get out of the way!" The familiar voice threatened the kid before landing a punch right on his face, then grabbing Yugi by the arm. "Co'mon Spikey, the ice cream is not too far!"

"Thanks Baba!" Yugi thanked his rescuer who held short brown hair, sky blue eyes, and a bright childish smile.

The two companions made it to the ice cream stand and got their ice cream. Yugi had an ice cream sandwich and his companion he called Baba had an ice cream pop that was the shape of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Yugi laughed happily as he took his first bite.

"I knew you'd chose that!" Yugi said to his companion with his bright smile. "Thanks for the save."

"What are cousins for, Spikey?"

"Seto Moto!" An orphanage teacher shouted to Yugi's companion named Seto.

"Yes?" Seto replied.

"Did you punch Ronald?" The teacher asked, showing the kid with his devious smirk and the black eye from Seto.

"Ronald pushed me while I was waiting for ice cream and Baba was protecting me," Yugi said as the teacher looked at Seto.

"Is this true?"

"Yes maim," Seto replied.

"Ronald, you should be ashamed of yourself! Seto, you should be ashamed too. You should've let us know if Yugi was being bullied!"

"I'm sorry," Seto apologized innocently.

"Very well. I will leave you off with a warning, just don't let me catch you punching anyone again!" The teacher replied before taking Ronald by the back of the shirt and dragging him away.

"I think you did good," Yugi told Seto as he smiled. They both sat down at the table and ate their ice cream.

"Hey Spikey," Seto said as Yugi looked up.

"You think we'll ever get adopted?" Yugi asked.

"I know we will! We'll both get adopted and maybe even be brothers!"

"That would be awesome! I hope we do become brothers, Baba!" Yugi said excitedly as Seto chuckled. He looked outside where everyone was playing outside.

"LET'S GO OUTSIDE!" Seto cried out before grabbing Yugi's arm and dragging him through the cafateria. They both ran outside while holding hands and laughing playfully. Yugi had finished his ice cream sandwich and hugged Seto.

"I love you, Baba!"

"I love you too. Let's go swinging!" Seto said before throwing away his stick to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon pop that was eaten up. He swung Yugi as he began laughing aloud.

"YUGI!" Mrs. Riddle called to Yugi as he snapped back to reality. "The bell just rang!"

Yugi quickly scrambled his stuff, and then ran down the hallways. His locket kept swinging left and right around his neck before running into a tall kid. Yugi fell back as he came face to face with his cousin Seto, who just gave him a glare. Yugi stared down before getting himself up.

"Sorry," Yugi muttered as Seto gave a humph.

"Be careful," Seto warned Yugi before he gave a nod and rushed to his next class.

As Seto watched Yugi run to his class, his glare changed to sorrow. He held a locket around his neck, which he opened and there lied a picture of him and Yugi playing chess together. Seto closed it and tucked it under his shirt.

"I'm sorry, Spikey," Seto whispered, remembering what had happened only last week.

It all started when Seto and Yugi were adopted by Gozoburro Kaiba, the leader of Kaiba Corporation. It was only the beginning of their misery. Being forced to study and work head and foot. It was hard to erase the images of the times Gozoburro slapped him or Yugi across the face and even punch them, if he was angry enough. Though, they always had each other to keep their spirits up. Seto would always love Yugi for his spirits, his one and dear brother/cousin.

One day, Seto made plans to take over the company by making deals with the Big Five and other companies. Taking over the company was as easy as pie. Him and Yugi studied hard and worked together to what they believed was the best deals. They were partners! Then, the day came when they both took over Kaiba Corp.

"You can't do this, Seto!" Gozoburro shouted at Seto.

"We just did!" Seto smirked evilly.

"And you just got sold! We're sick and tired of you treating us like shit!" Yugi glared at Gozoburro coldly.

"You think so?" Gozoburro smirked before his employers walked over to Yugi's and Seto's side. "So, you've turned against me too?"

"The two Mr. Kaiba's make a very convincing deal," One of the members of the Big Five replied.

"Then looks like this is my end," Gozoburro replied before jumping through the window and throwing himself over 20 stories up.

Yugi gasped and grasped onto Seto, who just smiled so coldly and sickly. Yugi never expected his step father to commit suicide.

"Looks like we run Kaiba Corp... Yugi," Seto said, as Yugi looked up at his brother, who never called him by his real name until now. "We're company leaders and must act like ones. We're no longer brothers at this point. Our brotherly feelings will only get in the way of true power. You understand this right?"

"Y-Yes," Yugi replied before letting go of Seto and his face changed to a scowl. "First order of business is to clean up the mess and make this place a gaming company! We'll run things by how we want it!"

"Yes, Mr. Kaiba," One of the members replied.

"It's Moto. I want to keep my old last name to show my hatred for Gozoburro," Yugi replied as the members nodded, then left the room. Seto and Yugi were alone in silence before Seto walked on his way from the room. "You're still Baba to me."

Seto froze and showed a scowl with a hint of sorrow. He turned his head and replied, "Let's go, Yugi. We have work to do!"

Yugi nodded, then walked passed Seto, but not before his brother slipped in a locket inside Yugi's pocket. Yugi felt the slip and dug into his pocket to find a locket. He opened it and found a picture of him and Seto as young five-year-olds playing chess in the orphanage. Yugi felt tears of joy building up in his eyes as he closed it and hung it around his neck.

"That is the key to Kaiba Corp or will be. Just take it out of the locket and scan it. You will notice here..." Seto explained, showing the bottom of the locket, where he pressed a button on each side, then took the bottom of the locket off, then it just showed a plastic card. "... is where you will place this card at. Do you understand?"

"Yes, thank you!" Yugi said in tears. He then wiped his tears from his face, then placed the bottom half of the locket back on before tucking the locket in his shirt with a warmness to his heart. Seto watched his brother walk from him as a small smile appeared on his lips.

"I can only trust this company to the both of us... Spikey," Seto whispered to himself before opening his locket to see the picture he made into a card.

"HEY!" A blond teen shouted behind Seto, who just snapped back to reality. "YOU'RE BLOCKING THE HALLS!"

"Somebody's impatient," Seto smirked mockingly before walking to his next class.
