Rikudou Shinigami- Hey there guys, long time no see!

So this is for all my fans out there that like my first story:

Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze:Legacy Of The Soul Society is NOT being abandoned! I just lost some inspiration for it and decided to take a break. FEAR NOT! I will continue the story at a later date but for now there won't be any new updates. Sorry.

Anyways this story was originally by Arashi Hanshu, who is a great author. I asked permission if I could continue the story since he hasn't updated it in a while. To be honest I just copied and pasted the original story and added a few small edits here and there.

And for those who think Yu-Gi-Oh!(Yes you have to put the exclamation mark) is just for kids: DON'T READ THIS IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!

I love all kinds of Anime and I practically grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh! so this is like a long time friend! And I KNOW most of you that say they don't like Yu-Gi-Oh! are the ones that absolutely love it.

Inside a hospital in Domino City

"Well now I guess its official then?" Joey Wheeler questioned with a bit of irritation as he looked at his sister, who again was in a hospital bed.

He had blonde hair done in a sporty hair style, which was very messy, and dark brown eyes. He wore dark blue jeans along with a white and blue shirt that had blue on the sleeves with white rectangles on them and a large blue rectangle on his chest (battle city outfit). Although he had very rough and angular features, he seemed to emanate a humorous and carefree aura.

"It was always official mutt." Seto Kaiba grumbled, as he looked at his brother-in-law with contempt.

Seto wore his white trench coat that seemed to defy gravity and had pointed shoulders with a purple interior and underneath he wore a long sleeved black shirt. On each of his upper arms he had two belts tied around them and had bracers on his forearms. He had brown hair that was dark and sleek, along with icy blue eyes that would intimidate lesser man or someone that wasn't used to being around him.

"Shh, he's sleeping, and yes Joey it has always been official." Serenity Kaiba said.

She had long brown hair and light brown eyes, which were very soft and comforting; a big contrast to her husband's piercing blue eyes. Her face was a little less angular then her brother's and also had a very soft look. In her arms she cradled a small newborn child lovingly.

The child was in a deep sleep, but his facial features were very similar to Serenity's, although his eye shape was that of Seto. Of the little hair he had, along the edges it was dark brown while towards the center it was a lighter, almost orange, brown.

"When was the marriage? I never been to a wedding let alone a bachelors party. And I know you got plenty of cash to have at least ten in one night Kaiba." Joey said, with a hint of denial in his voice.

"Joey you idiot, you were at the bachelors party remember?" Seto said with a twitch in his eye, getting quite annoyed at his brother-in-law's denial of the fact that he had married his little sister. It happened every time they were face to face and it pissed him off to no end.

"No I don't!" Joey said dismissively crossing his arms.

"Well that's your problem, mutt." Seto said, rolling his eyes, and turning attention to his newborn child and wife. "So how are you feeling?"

Serenity smiled softly at her husband, "After a couple of hours of pain and nine months of a burden, pretty good."

Seto kissed her lightly on the lips and turned his attention to the small child being held in his wife's arms, "He looks just like you, doesn't he?"

Serenity nodded "But he has your eyes and hair." she said, rubbing the small child's back. The child then opened his eyes, revealing his soft chocolate brown eyes.

"Scratch that," Joey started while smirking, "he got your eyes sissy."

"Shut up Joey." Serenity said softly, getting a chuckle from Seto. She picked up the child to her head, which had begun playing with her hair with a bright smile.

"So what should we name him?" Seto asked his wife, has he got a better look at his son.

"I thought he was being named Joey Wheeler the second!" Joey exclaimed sending a questioning look at his sister.

Seto sent a heated glare at Joey. "First of all, his last name is not Wheeler, its Kaiba, remember it. And second, hell no!"

Serenity sighed at her older brother's and husband's antics and looked at the child, which caused a caring smile to grace her features, "Jaden, his name is Jaden Kaiba." She said getting a giggle of approval from the baby in her arms making Seto and Joey stop arguing and watch with small smiles.

~Time skip: 12 Years Later~

Jaden Kaiba had changed a lot from when he was first born, one of those being that he wasn't a baby, obviously. His appearance was a mixture of his mother Serenity Kaiba, father Seto Kaiba and Uncle Joey Wheeler, much to his father's annoyance and mother's amusement.

He had the same hair as his father, except it was dark brown at the bottom and light sun burnt brown on the top, however his hair style was very similar to that of his uncle Joey's, except it spiked out in the back instead of the front. His eyes were a warm brown, just like his mother's, and his facial features were very similar to her, except for the shape of his eyes which took a resemblance to his father. He wore a black and red jacket, which he kept unzipped to reveal a black undershirt, and a pair of blue jeans.

"Jaden are you up there?" His mother, Serenity called out.

"Yah mom I am!" Jaden called back from his room.

He heard a couple of more footsteps from outside his door, and in walked his mother, and to him was the kindest person he ever met "How are doing?" she asked with a loving and caring smile.

She was always worried about how he was doing, and unlike most boys who would try to get away from their mother's constant 'interference' as they would call it, Jaden would embraced the closeness he got from the woman that gave birth to him.

Jaden smiled widely at her, and gave her a hug, just to let her know he cared "I'm great mom!"

Serenity smiled at him, "Okay big boy, we're hosting a party in a couple of hours, so I need you to get ready."

"Alright mom" Jaden said, and his mother gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, and left him to do his business, as no boy, not even Jaden who loves his mom a lot, wants their mother to watch them change.

Seto Kaiba was in his office going over the different economic aspect of his company. Kaibacorp. had risen to become one of the most prominent corporations in the world, specializing in technology, not just for duel monsters, but for other uses, and was now used in government institutions, hospitals, schools, and about everywhere else. Even though he wouldn't admit it, it amazed him how much his company has grown in the past years.

But more importantly to him was his son, his pride and joy all wrapped into one package.

To most of the world, Jaden Kaiba didn't exist, or was just a vague rumor, which to him was a blessing as it helped solve a lot of problems. Seto had foreseen the problem when Serenity had gotten pregnant, and had her being cared for privately when she was in labor by his personal doctors.

The last thing Seto wanted for his son was to be swarmed by reporters or being featured in magazines as a potential candidate for the best boy to get award, and even worse would be if he developed a bad and arrogant ego. He knew too many pampered rich boys that got one, including attention seeking, bragging, and the worst one of all, the 'I'm better then you even though I've done nothing to earn the respect I aspect to receive'.

But Jaden proved to be anything but, always being friendly and helpful and showing nothing but kindness and respect to those he met.

Jaden had also shown great ability in coding and computers at a young age, and the new duel monster's interface was actually designed and built by Jaden, not to mention his dueling skills were very high, almost as good, and much to Seto's annoyance, as his. That made him estimate that in a few years, Jaden's dueling skills would surpass his and a certain King of Games.

He took a glance at one of the pictures on his desk, which was of him, Jaden and his wife Serenity all smiling together in front of the Kaiba tower, which in turn only made him smile, just having all of his pride and joy in one picture.

He then heard his office door open, and looked to see his wife walking towards him with a gentle smile on her face.

"How are you doing?" Serenity asked caringly.

Seto smiled, of course he would have never showed it in public, but he was quite caring to those he loved, and on that list would be his little brother, his wife, his son, and maybe his brother-in-law and his friends.

"I'm fine, just a lot of paper work." Seto said throwing a hateful glare at said paperwork.

Serenity giggled as she walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Well you need to get ready honey; you don't want to not be ready for your own party."

"Alright." Seto sighed, doing a couple of last minute checks on his work, and then leaving his office, with his arm wrapped around Serenity.

"Jaden are you coming down!" Serenity called down, about 30 minutes before the guests would arrive.

"Yep I am almost there!" Jaden yelled back, a couple of flights of stairs away. It wasn't his fault that the Kaiba mansion, not to mention estate, was ridiculously huge! If he had it his way, it would much smaller so there would be no wasted space. Why have so much room if you don't even use all of it?

Jaden never really cared much for looking overly nice for special occasions, just like his father who could get away with wearing his favorite trench coat, so he didn't actually change except for brushing his hair slightly to get any knots out and putting on a little deodorant to smell nice.

When he got down he saw both his mother sitting on the couch and his father in one of the arm chairs in their sitting room. Compared to most of the other rooms in the mansion, this room was much smaller for Kaiba standards, but it was still comfortable and relaxing since it didn't have that big emptiness, which Jaden was thankful for. It featured one couch and two arms chairs which surrounded a small table in the center, just big enough to lay out a four way duel. On the walls surrounding it were a couple of book shelves and a couple of pictures of their family. There was one of his Uncle Joey which made him laugh since Seto was trying to shove him out of the picture when it was taken.

His mother was dressed in a very nice strapless pink dress, which if Jaden was slightly older, and it wasn't his mom, he would be very excited right now. However, his father had the same idea as him, slightly brushing his hair, probably putting on some deodorant, and maybe practicing his scowl, because he didn't change one bit.

Upon seeing her son coming into the room, Serenity couldn't help but sigh at the fact that Jaden had taken up his father's sense of 'I'm wearing this and you can't tell me I'm not because I am, so tough luck bud.'

"Jaden couldn't you at least try to look nice?" Serenity asked. She was never good at being a strict mom, but she never had to since Jaden was never out of control like most rich kids.

Jaden shook his head and smiled sheepishly "Sorry mom, but I'm not spending that much time at their party any ways."

"What are you talking about?" Serenity asked perplexed "We are having a party at our house, why wouldn't you be there?"

"Well," Jaden said, faltering his feet slightly, "I am working on a new interface for the new duel disk and well… can I please, please, please work on it?"

Seto could only smile at his son, remembering all the times when at his age he was forced to work and study, and now his son begging to work and study. "Of course Jaden, but if we need you, you need to come in." He said sternly, though his eyes had some amusement in them.

Serenity glared at Seto "Now listen here, Jaden and you spend hours on end working, and when we finally get a nice party together, you make it into a business plan and Jaden wants to continue working."

"So is that a yes or no?" Jaden asked hopefully.

Serenity sighed "Fine alright, you can go play with your computers, but the next party we have, no computers or anything, got it mister?"

Jaden then sat next to his mother and gave her a hug while repeatedly saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Serenity could only smile at him, and starting scratching the back of his head, which to both of them was very enjoyable.

"So is Uncle Joey coming?" Jaden asked.

Seto nodded "Unfortunately", which got a slight smirk from Jaden. He liked his uncle, a lot, and every time he came over, he would get on his father's nerves, which would usually end up in some sort of dog fight. It was a very fitting name for their fights seeing as his father keeps calling his uncle a 'mutt'.

"Is he bringing Mai along?" Serenity asked curiously.

"Yah did they ever get married, or are they still just friends with benefits?" Jaden asked tilting his head to the side in a way that would make most women scream 'Kawaii!'

Seto shrugged "I'm pretty sure he is, and yes Jaden their married, and have been for a couple of years now." He said with a slight smirk at the end.

Jaden smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head "Well sorry for not being informed. So what about Uncle Mokuba?"

"He is defiantly coming." Seto said with a voice of finality.

"What about Yugi, is he coming?" Jaden asked. "I mean the last time I saw him, he gave me Yubel and that was ages ago."

Seto frowned slightly at hearing Yugi's name, since last time he saw him, he had declared Jaden to be the incarnation of some Supreme King from another dimension. Seto could believe Egyptian gods, but you lost him at different dimensions.

"No he is here, then there. It's impossible to track him." Seto said.

Jaden shrugged "Oh well."

Serenity then took a look at the clock "Well its time!" she cheerfully exclaimed as she got off the couch, followed by Jaden, who shot up like a rocket.

"To the Jaden cave!" he yelled out and ran to the family library/study to work.

Atticus Rhodes was having the time of his life at the party at the Kaiba mansion. He hit on the hosts wife, and successfully got her to blush, embraced his younger sister 15 times, 3 more than at the last party they were at, and successful kissed 4 other big business men's wife on the cheek. He couldn't have been more proud of himself!

Atticus Rhodes could only be described as a very charming, handsome young man that most girls his age would love to have a piece of. He had dark brown hair done in a very surf board man like fashion, his face was quite angular which defined his handsome features. He wore blue blazer along with khaki colored pants

But now was an opportunity for him to get a look around the mansion, and to explore a little bit. He was quite impressed with the work they had done with the mansion itself, everything inside was so pristine and even though he wasn't even in sight, made Seto Kaiba look even more impressive by just what his stuff looked like. He noticed there was a lot of Blue-Eyes White Dragon themed items around the house.

'Heh, go figure.' He thought with a small chuckle.

But what interested Atticus the most, and he would admit it, was to take a quick look in his study, to see where all the magic happened.

And so he did just that.

When Atticus opened the door, he found the whole room to be overwhelming. The library was huge, with book shelves lining along the outside of the wall, and also the middle. Atticus decided it would be best if he went down one of the isles to see if there was anything else.

He continued walking down the aisles of book shelves, taking quick glances at the different covers, but he soon came to a different part of the library, where there were no books.

The only thing in sight was a large wooden table, a computer, and what appeared to be a 12 year old boy working on said computer, with a number of books and papers scattered across the table.

"What are you doing here?" Atticus asked the boy. It seemed strange that someone, especially a child to crowd himself with work when there was a party going on. However what was most strange was who this boy was.

Jaden looked up at the intruder with a quirked eyebrow "The question is what you are doing in here? The party is out there." He gestured to the door

"Ah, but then that leads to a new question." Atticus said smirking "And that is why you're not at the party?"

Jaden shrugged "Didn't feel like it." He said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Atticus approached the table and took a seat opposite the boy, and even he had to admit that the boy shared some of the same handsome looks as himself.

"So who are you?" Atticus asked "You can call me Rhodes, Atticus Rhodes."

Jaden looked at the boy sitting across from him; he was at least 3 years older than him "Kaiba, Jaden Kaiba." Jaden said, playing along with the whole James Bond antic.

"Kaiba?" Atticus said almost yelled in shock "As in Seto Kaiba? Are you two related or something?" Atticus asked. He then looked over Jaden's features, his hair was defiantly like Seto Kaiba, and his eye shape had that same shape to it, not to mention his features. But his face was like that of someone he just had to pleasure to meet. Who was that again?

Then it hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Yah, he is my dad." Jaden said, going back to working on his code.

"Wow, I never knew Seto Kaiba had a son." Atticus said, slightly amused. He had always prided himself on knowing what celebrities were doing with their lives, and the fact he didn't know about Jaden was a sure sign that he missed something.

Jaden smiled at the boy, he could tell that there wasn't any sense of awe or mistrust in him, just amusement to the fact he didn't know who he was. The last person he met that was his age who found out who he was, tried to pretend to be his friend, but he was quickly able to tell what they were doing.

"Yah it's a class A secret." Jaden said.

"So how old are you?" Atticus asked, especially now that he was taking a look at everything that surrounded Jaden. Atticus could quickly tell that this kid must have been some sort of genius prodigy in computing or something, just by looking at all the work in front of him.

"I'm 12." Jaden said, still typing more code on his computer.

Atticus then got a devious smile "So what you working on?"

"Oh this?" Jaden said, motioning towards the papers on the table "I'm working on the new Kaibacorp duel disk, which should be ready by the end of the week." He finished with a hint of pride in his voice.

"Really? And your dad is okay with you messing with his work?" Atticus asked. He knew his dad to be some big investor, and he hated when his children got in the way of his business endeavors.

"Why wouldn't he be? I mean I did build the new duel monsters interface." He then gave Atticus a quirky smile "You're welcome by the way."

"How did you know I duel?" Atticus asked a bit surprised.

Jaden shrugged "You got a bulge on the side of your pants, I got sixth sense for sensing a deck."

"I guess you duel then?" Atticus asked with a smirk plastered on his face.

Jaden nodded "Hell I do, you think I don't when I got one of the best duelists at home. You would have to be insane not to duel him every chance you got." He finished with an identical smirk on his face.

"True that." Atticus said. "So are you interested in girls?"

Jaden shook his head "Maybe later, like 10 years later"

"Ten years? I understand 2 but 10, that is a little much" Atticus said, "Hell you're like my sister." Then he got a devious idea "I know you two could go out, then all of our problems will be solved."

"Whose problems?" Jaden asked suspiciously.

"The fact that you and my sister don't seem to find any interest in love." Atticus then stood up proudly and looked up to the ceiling. "After all I am the master of love and I will not allow souls to ever be alone if I can help it!"

"Have fun." Jaden said returning to his coding make Atticus fall down anime style.

"How about a duel?" Atticus said after he got up from the ground

Jaden eyes perked up "A duel?"

Atticus nodded "Yeah a duel, if I win, you let me set something up with my sister, if you win, well you can think of something."

"I win; you have to help me with my coding and can't go back to the party until it's over or 'till I go." Jaden proclaimed and extended his hand to Atticus.

"Deal." Atticus said shaking Jaden's hand.

Both Jaden and Atticus had their decks set out on the table, ready for a friendly table top duel.

"So since I challenged you, I go first." Atticus said, drawing six cards from the top of his deck, while Jaden only drew five.

"Alight lover boy let's see what you can do." Jaden said excitedly. Much like his father, he was in love with dueling, and every time he dueled, or anything related to the game came up, he would get a sort of high and rush.

"Ok first I summon Cupid, The Master Of Love in attack mode (ATK: 1700/DEF: 1600- Light- Fairy- Lv. 4- This card counts as two sacrifices for fairy type monsters) then I set two cards and call that a turn."

Jaden nodded and drew a card from his deck. "First I will summon Red Eyes Black Chick (ATK: 800/DEF: 500- Dark- Dragon- Lv. 1- You may send this card to the graveyard from your side of the field to special summon red eyes black dragon from your hand to the field) in attack mode. But then I sacrifice him to bring out my Red Eyes Black Dragon (ATK: 2400/DEF: 2000- Dark- Dragon- Lv. 7) in attack mode."

"So I guess Eyed Dragons run in the family?" Atticus said smirking.

Jaden nodded "Well yeah, my uncle Joey used to use Red Eyes and my dad still duels, so why not have a Red Eyes deck?" He finished with a sense of pride.

Atticus shrugged "Well you're going to face the power of love and embrace its ultimate strength!" he said making a small pose which in turn made Jaden sweatdrop.

"You wish because now I activate Inferno Fire Blast (Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of one face up Red Eyes Black Dragon you control. Red Eyes Black Dragon cannot attack during the turn you activate this card.)"

Jaden- 4000/ Atticus- 1600

"Damn 2400 points of damage already, you are good." Atticus said smirking.

"Thank you," Jaden said, "and I'll set a card to end my turn."

Atticus nodded and drew a card from his deck "Well now I sacrifice my little Cupid to bring out Venus The Goddess Of Love (ATK: 2100/DEF: 2700- Light- Fairy- Lv. 8- Once per turn, you may cause one monster on your opponent's side of the field to switch battle positions. This card is not effected by Monster, Spell and Trap effects) and now she is going to show your dragon the love by switching him to defense and then destroying him."

Jaden just shrugged, but you can obviously see how ticked off he was to see his monster being destroyed. "Well if you're done it's my turn!" Jaden said drawing a card. "First I will use Dragon's Resurrection (Spell- Bring one Dragon type Monster from your Graveyard to your side of the Field. For the turn it is Special Summoned, it cannot be affected by an opponent's Monster, Spell and Trap card effects) so let's give a big welcome back to Red Eyes!"

"You really like that card don't you?" Atticus said.

Jaden nodded with a smile on his face "It's one of my favorite cards."

"One of your favorites?" Atticus asked curiously "I would imagine it would be your favorite."

Jaden shook his head "No, my favorite is Yubel, but you can't see her since I don't have her in my hand." He said, and you could hear the disappointment in his voice.

'Awe is little Jaden upset?' Yubel called out from his deck.

'Hell yeah I am!' Jaden thought with a small pout. "Well Atticus it's time to end this duel, because now I activate Red Eyes Assault (Spell-For one turn, all cards associated with Red Eyes Black Dragon can attack your opponents life points directly)."

"Not before I activate my Fairy Shield (Trap-This card can only be activated when a Non-Fairy card declares an attack. Destroy all Non-Fairy monsters on the field)."

Jaden chuckled slightly "Sorry to rain on your parade, but my Red Eyes isn't affected by any Spells, Traps or Monster effects for one turn, so this duel is over!"

Jaden- 4000/ Atticus- 0

"That's game Atticus!" Jaden said enthusiastically.

For the rest of the night Atticus and Jaden worked on code for the new Kaibacorp duel disk, since Jaden had made no plans to go to the party. Atticus, himself was annoyed slightly, but he found watching and helping Jaden with the code to be quite interesting.

"Well Jaden I guess this is goodbye." Atticus said, as the time was 11pm, and he needed to find his family.

"Yeah I hope to see you soon, maybe at Duel Academy, since I do have to go there to fix up that duel stage. The coding there is a little outdated and needs some serious updates." Jaden said, shaking the older boy's hand.

"You know, if you ever change your mind about wanting me to set you up with my sister, I'll be open to it. You're a cool kid."

"I'll keep that in mind." Jaden said with a small laugh.

"Well, see yah bud." Atticus said, and gave Jaden a quick hug before leaving.

Jaden then turned back to his code and began working; he had said that the code will be done by the end of the week. But why not make it done in the next hour?

Well there's chapter one!

Ja Ne!
