Here's my new Seto x Serenity story. I hope you all enjoy it. Based off of my feelings for a certain straw senior.

Shizuka timidly took a seat in the back of the classroom. She felt very self-concious in a room full of juniors and seinors. They all looked so intelligent-- so grown up... they made her look all the more juvinile. She fretfully stared down at her desk imagining the others in the class thinking things like "Silly little sophomore."

It was the first day of the second semester and she had just moved in with her brother Jouniichi. Her heart quickened as a popular-looking blonde girl slightly sneered at her and pointed Shizuka out from across the room to her friends.

Her new Calculus Teacher, Irogami-senseii entered the classrom, set her things down, and began to write the assignment of the board. First period Calculus. Oh what a joy...

Shizuka glanced up at the clock on the wall. It read seven twenty-two a.m. Eight more minutes of 'free-time torture' before she could completely engross herself in her schoolwork.

"Sophomore." Her breath caught in her throat and she hung her head even further than it was already. She could feel the stares all around her and could feel those dreadful tears pricking at the back of her eyes again. Who on earth had convinced her to take the Calculus entrance exam? Oh... right, Joey.

Although he was two years her senior, somehow Jouniichi had somehow ben left with a fourth of the reasoning skills she held. How on earth a senior could be in remedial Geometry for the third time was beyond her.

The murmurs around her grew louder as more students, all juniors and seniors, entered the room. There wern't very many, but she still wanted to absolutely curl up and dissapear.

Then the room went completely silent. Shocked and unaware of what was going on, Shizuka shot up and put her attention at the door like everyone else.

A tall, thin brunette man walked into the silent room. It was so quiet that she could hear his expensive shoes' heels tap against the floor when he walked. He seemed completely disinterested with the entire class and casually (if it could be called casual) headed to the back of the classroom.

He sat down in th chair next to Shizuka and her heart began to thump again.

He was very handsome. So much so that Sereniy forgot to look away. He had longish brown hair that looked soft to the touch and perfectly flawless tan skin. His face was chisled out, with high cheekbones and a firm jaw. His lips vere parted a bit, showing of bright white eyeteeth and his eyes were a deep, intense cobalt blue.

Shizuka swallowed and realized that the whispering had begun again. But this time, it wasn't about the timid little sophomore in the back of the class... it was about The Seto Kaiba.

"I hear he's incredibly brilliant."

"He has to be in order to run Kaiba Corp."

"I can't believe we get to sit in the same room as him."

"I'm blushing just thinking about it."

Shizuka glanced back over at him. He had opened up a laptop and began to type, completely unconcerned with the popular blonde girl and her perky brunette friend who kept trying to get his attention.

The Seto Kaiba. THE Seto Kaiba! Billionaire and owner of Kaiba Corp.Industries sitting right next to little sophomore Shizuka Kawaii at Domino High School. She knew him all too well, he was a senior and known to be the most brilliant mind in the entire school.

He had called her brother a dog. Then again, Jouniichi hadn't exactly acted gentlemanly toward him. Ah, Joey hated him so much. Whenever the brunette would pass by during a tournament, she could remember Joey freezing and glaring holes in the back of Kaiba's head.

But...

There was a memory father back, almost sacred to her that arose.

For such a long time, her vision had gone. Bit by bit, little by little, things like streetsigns and billboards began to blur. Then came the numbers in the phonebook, her textbooks, the pictures on the television, and finally everything around her began to dim. Even longer it seemed did she sit in constant blackness while she knew-- while she was very aware that an entire world swirled around her.

Then came the operation and the healing process. Yugi, Tea, and the rest of the gang had been so kind to her. And that day... the day the doctors said she could remove her blindfold... she had been taken to watch Joey duel. The first thing she wanted was to see her amazing older brother-- the one that had given her sight-- she wanted to see him first.

And when she ripped off those bandages and blinked in the sunlight in order to save him, the first thing she saw clearly in years...

Was Seto Kaiba.

He stood, so magnificent, so powerful. His firm gaze rested on her for but moment, one eyebrow raised in question. He wore a bit of a smirk and she could have sworn he had almost given an approving nod as she dove headfirst into the cold water.

She was jolted out of her thoughts when the teacher clapped her hands.
"I presume this is where everyone wants to sit this semester?" The class mumbled a response. After all, it was only seven-thirty in the morning.

"Please spit any gum out, fix your uniforms and close your laptops, please. Class is now beginning. I am Miss Irogami and the lesson for today is all about..."

Well, there's chapter 1. I hope you liked it. Sorry it didn't really go anywhere, but the first chapter is mostly to get the reader clued in on what's going on. It'll get better, I promise.
