So like. The rooftop battle between Yugi and Kaiba vs Lumis and Umbra in the Battle City arc. You ever think about how annoying that battle would be? And I don't mean the looming threat of plummeting to your death/eternity in the shadow realm. Like, think about it.
You're on top of a 50 story building standing on a glass sunroof in the middle of the day. Direct sunlight over head. Trying to play a goddam card game.
Tumblr media
The glare! The absolute glare that would constantly reflect beneath you up into your eyes the ENTIRE time you're trying to look at your cards and strategize. The blinding light! And the HEAT! The sun bouncing off the glass would be cooking you! I would be in a blind, frustrated rage, sweating my ass off and trying to win a team-duel.
Kudos to everyone involved, I'd've gone into that duel knowing I'd lose. Or at least be a bitch the entire duel.
Maybe that was Kaiba's excuse for being his usual sunny self in this duel. 😂 Bro's got a black turtleneck sweater and a trenchcoat in 120 degree heat, trying teamwork for the first time in his life. 🤣

"I'm not going down without a fight."
While Domino falls into darkness & its citizens are ripped from both the arena & the city itself, Seto & Yugi stand ready for a fight to save the place they call home & the world itself. Yugi may be champion, but Seto's place is far higher in rank as he's also fighting for not just his brother, but all of his employees as their boss & their families too. Not to mention that the puzzle is finished & he's too close to getting the duel he wants to let Diva get away with this crap! Yugi is a fighter, despite being scared of what's going on, but with Seto right there & already fired up from their duel, his fear is eased off quite a bit. Yugi knows Seto is the most ferocious duelist in Domino & he's damn near fearless against anything except when it comes to Mokuba. Joey may be a decent duelist, but Seto is the strongest one & for this fight against Diva, Yugi doesn't have Atem backing him like he used to, nor Joey either...now he's having to rely on Kaiba.
Yugi has seen that look before too, as he hasn't forgotten how Seto came for his duel in battle city against Marik while Slifer was on the field. Right when Yugi & Atem got backed into a corner, he came & fired them back up for the win. Yugi, at this point, is internally screaming with happiness at getting the big bad boss for himself for this duel. Diva wants to defeat Yugi? He'll have to go through Seto Kaiba first before he gets that chance & Yugi knows to not be in the way when it comes to the ferocity of the "Dragon of Domino" during a duel. Yugi may be scared of Diva, but having Seto by his side defending Domino & the world without Atem there? He has an air of fearlessness around him that kills any fear one has within them...the feeling of being indestructible, invincible & damn near immortal! Yugi is beyond happy, but also in awe because not only is he getting to duel with his rival against a foe, but also the coolest duelist ever in his eyes! Yugi has always wanted to be one of the cool kids & now, he's getting to be one of them & can't be taken down easily...all because Seto Kaiba is a towering terror with a dragon army & the richest man in the world.
Seto has come so close to getting what he's after that he can taste the victory already. To him, Diva is pulling what Pegasus, Bakura & Marik would've done if they'd gotten their way & Seto isn't letting it happen without a fight. If Diva wants the world, he'll have to earn it by beating him & Yugi both in a duel. The puzzle would have to be won anyway & he knows Yugi is the only one who can call the Pharaoh back from the grave to put an end to this entirely. He's put his heart & soul into getting that puzzle back together, so he's hoping that it'll work one last time....if not for him, then for Yugi at least...even if it means taking the kill-shot for Yugi during the duel to make it happen. No matter what it takes, he's not letting Diva do this, because he's basically pulling a Gozaburo & Seto can't stand anybody that acts like that old man in any given way!

Pegasus announces new Blue eyes white dragon limited edition merch or cards every April fools as a joke to get Kaiba’s attention, and it worked for a while then he waited til he knew Kaiba wasn’t planning on falling for it and actually brought it out so he got to watch Kaiba hunt down the merch/cards from random kids all day, long story short. Pegasus has fun.

I was thinking about how Seto Kaiba would be Possible and how a casual day of his would look, you know, for him to be Seto Kaiba, and came to the conclusion a certain White Dragon has to be taking care of his body as he surely doesnt.
(dont get fooled by the workout hour, he does that with 0 warm up after 10 hours of not moving in front of a computer screen, would give a normal person a heart attack)

Seto Kaiba and Malik Ishtar are both hot garbage at pretending to be charming and friendly:

They didn't fool anyone. Malik had to use a brainwashed Anzu and Ryo to get Jonouchi off his trail.

Pegasus Returns?! Duel, Kaiba-Boy! Pt. 1
[Seto and Mokuba fly over the island Maximillion Pegasus calls home, Duelist Kingdom, in the Blue-Eyes Jet. Seto is piloting.
"I can't believe we're visiting Duelist Kingdom again," Seto mutters, with clear disdain.
"Yeah," Mokuba adds, "It's got nothing but bad memories..."
"I'll make this quick, so that we don't have to be here very long." Seto assures Mokuba. They land shortly thereafter.
The Kaibas are silent as they approach the darkened entrance hall. It's eerily empty.
"Do you think anyone even still works here...? I mean, Pegasus is supposed to be dead!" Mokuba remarks. "If it really is him, we'll put him in the ground for good this time!"
Seto nods, but doesn't verbally reply.
It's not long until they come to a large room, too high up to see its floor in the dim, with their walkway suddenly cut off with a drop into the pit. Seto has to grab Mokuba's arm to keep the younger boy from walking right off the edge, as he's preoccupied looking around the room; Mokuba's fear of that near-death experience has him clinging to Seto.
"PEGASUS! Enough fooling around; show yourself!"
On the other side of the room, across the gap, Maximillion Pegasus appears from the darkened hallway, laughing to himself. He's just as the boys remember him.
"Just as annoying as always," Seto mutters.
"Oh, Kaiba-boy, where's the love? We've been through so much together! Aren't you happy to see me, after so long~?"
Seto grimaces, mirroring Mokuba's expression beside him. The younger is the first to respond.
"Shut up, Pegasus! We're not here to catch up with a low-life like you!! My bro is here to duel you, so you leave us alone for good!"
"Ohhh~? And what have I done to earn so much ire from you, boys~?"
The Kaibas grit their teeth. Seto responds this time.
"It's a long list. But you know why we're here now: you've been buying up my company's shares like cheap candy." Seto points dramatically at Pegasus.
"Not to mention- you're the only other person who could possibly have scared the world with those monster holograms."
"Is that so~? You boys know that my little arenas aren't nearly as advanced as your Solid Vision... are you sure you aren't just blaming me to hide your own responsibility for it? Maybe you're just scared about those monsters being real, hmm~?" Pegasus chuckles to himself, raising his arms in a caricature of a shrug and shaking his head. It really pisses Seto off.
"AS IF! Everything has an explanation, and monsters being real is impossible!"
Mokuba, however, picks up on something else in Pegasus's response.
"What do you mean, our responsibility for all of this?? We already told everyone KC's instruments had nothing to do with it!"
Pegasus continues to chuckle, lowering his arms. As always, he's condescending to his opponents.
"I'll tell you if your big brother can beat me in a Duel, Mokuba-boy~. But don't forget what happened last time you dueled me... and how you lost your souls~!"
Seto growls, clenching his fist, then takes a breath to steady himself.
"I don't want to hear it- you're just reminding us of old humiliations to try and rile me up before the Duel, so that I'll make mistakes. It won't work."
"That's old news, Pegasus- like you should be!" Seto brandishes his Duel Disk, and it activates, pieces swiftly moving into its Duel-ready position.
Pegasus gives them a hearty laugh, then spreads his arms in front of him. "You're right- it's time for the rematch of the century!"]

Summary: The best laid schemes of Kaiba and kaiju often go awry... now he needs a new Drift partner.
Word count: 104,000 | Rating: M | Pairings: flareshipping (yuugi/kaiba/yami) | Chapters: 9/15
“You really want to throw me out? Cast me aside like some loser dog?! I never took you for a fool!" Pegasus leaned back in his seat, the leather creaking beneath him. He leveled a long, scrutinizing look at Seto, who exhaled hard through his nose, bracing himself, prepared to throw his full weight into whatever came next. “No. We don’t,” Pegasus said, and Seto's stomach swooped like he'd missed a step. “You see, we can’t afford to lose two Ranger teams in two weeks. Admiral Dartz wants you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and back in a Jaeger, as soon as possible. You’re getting a second chance. One chance.” An opening – not more than a narrow crack in a wall – but Seto took it. “I Drifted alone – ” “And White Dragon almost ate you alive,” Pegasus said lightly. “I invented it, so don't think I don't know. I will not indulge your fantasies of a solo Jaeger. I won't allow it. Try again." Seto frowned, smarting, thinking. No Mokuba. No solo Jaeger. That meant... “No,” he said, half protest, half disbelief. “Oh, yes, Kaiba-boy,” Pegasus said. “You’re getting a new Drift partner.” 
A/N: after 27 months of fucking around with other fanfictions, none of which i regret working on, my pacific rim AU is officially a WORK IN PROGRESS again with 1k written in the past 24 days. 9 chapters up; the 10th is UNDERWAY. i missed her. ENJOY <3

I don't have any motivations for asking this. Why are you looking at me suspiciously. This is an innocent and idle wondering.
I absolutely do not have any mermaid fic ideas no not me I'm never coming up with random ideas. I'm a good writer who keeps working on my WIPs...
The creature is half-mer. His chest looks strong, as if he could fight off dolphins.
He's also half-bizarre monster. Rather than a tail, he has two spindly limbs that don't look like they're any good for swimming at all.
But it's the eyes that capture your attention. The color of the ocean when it becomes dangerous to linger at the surface.
You want to pull him off his floating vessel and down to your world.

Hey I suddenly got curious so just wanted to ask. I'm a big fan of the parallel universes trope in fics, so I was wondering how would both kaiba from the lure series and joey from the i am a mob fic (ongoing) would react if they see each other? and by extent their romantic counterparts :0 or if you're not sure that's okay too haha
Thanks!
I adore questions like this! Cuz I too spend way too much time crossing the various versions of them I've written in my head. Like I'm a huge fan of crossovers, so why not do it with my boys?
This is also an idea kinda discussed in passing with @saiikavon and @chesacakeripper, so I can't take all the credit here. <3
So mob!Jou has always kinda adored his Seto. As younger teenagers, they were pretty inseparable, and there was a lot of warmth/affection in their relationship. Mob!Seto isn't that much of a touchy guy, but he is with his Jou, and he was very much used to Jou hanging in his direct personal space when they were younger. So a first meeting between mob!Jou and Lure!Kaiba would result in MAJOR cognitive dissonance for Jou. Seeing a younger Kaiba is going to invoke such nostalgia in Jou, even though this Kaiba is slightly older and had his growth spurt compared to before they separated at the orphanage. Then Lure!Kaiba will actually speak/interact with Jou, and oh boy... Kaiba in most forms is pretty arrogant, but Lure!Kaiba? He's imperious and domineering. If he's already met his Jou, then he firmly expects to be able to command mob!Jou in a similar way, despite their age and physique differences. And I can't imagine mob!Jou takes well to being threatened...
Basically, I think it could get tense/combative after the initial meeting. @saiikavon brilliantly put it, they're a wolf and a serpent circling each other. 👀
Conversely, Lure!Jou is super suspicious/cautious around mob!Seto. Poor Lure!Jou gets separation anxiety with his Kaiba if we're late enough in the timeline. ;;;_;;; And he knows that mob!Seto is not his Kaiba for so many reasons. Also don't think he can trust actual tenderness or softness from any Kaiba. Mob!Seto is probably feeling all types of ways about this cagey Jou that's so different from the teenager he remembered.
And just as an addition, because I love the idea of a body swap, so Lure!Kaiba in mob!Kaiba's body and vice versa. In that case, I do think Lure!Kaiba would try to feign and act like his mob self to try and fool everyone that he is mob!Kaiba. And Lure!Kaiba will probably do a decent job of it outside of a highly professional setting (sorry, Kaiba, you're smart, but you don't have experience practicing law). But mob!Jou would not be fooled. There's ice in Seto's eyes and smile now that wasn't there before... Then Lure!Kaiba can drop the act and we would probably find ourselves in a very tense situation indeed. 😈

Blue Eyes White Serpent ((Naga!Kaiba X Reader))
((Heyo, peeps and peepettes! Princess Tina here to present y'all a very special fanfic I may have wrote something short or not ((😅)), but still a great treat for all the Kaiba fangirls out there. 😊 So, I had an idea in my head for a late Year Of The Dragon event where the multibillionaire genius CEO becomes a tyrannical half hybrid draconic naga known as the Blue Eyes White Serpent, the most powerful specimen as well as deadliest predator in the forest. Now then, hope ya enjoy the story 😄))
Upon this tranquil paradisic environment of a polluted free scenery that is the emerald wilderness underneath the purified orb of morning light like a sunshine pouring its gentle glistening brightness onto the cleansing meadows teeming with harmless naturistic creatures both enormous as well as miniature combined in once, you, a beautiful ordinary young woman who lived alone into the residential abode protectively surrounded by fences other than only several lonesome vegetative trees, are lounging quietly onto the comfort sofa within a decent living room with your legs firmly crossed instead of spreading them wide for an unreasonable purpose whatsoever.
Quietly reading a regular novel in both palms using an exception about holding it with one hand, there's nothing more serene or pleasant than to just simply indulge some quality time studying at ease, sipping silently on a warm cup of peppermint leaf herbal tea to your unblemished lips while feasting your ears to the soothing volume of outdoor music played by the radio as a medium-sized stereo box delivers its harmless waves across the indoor area.
Whistling out a relaxing sigh forming as a songful hum that escapes from your non bacterial lungs during an average activity in the comfort of your own domain, carefully flicking parts about your hygienic hair/bangs aside preventing it to barricade your view on the favorable fable.
Lingering within the mildest cesspool of absolute serenity siding by Mother Nature's courteous palms cherishing both her vegetative homeland and visiting humans conjoined together inside a similar society on this earthly atmosphere instead of one singular race by lonesome, is truly a compassionate utopia to utterly dream of or live into eternal prosperity.
Lacking any form of aching anxieties about further dangers, cash loving poachers, even furious endangered species intending to shoot a ruin on such a perfectly well balanced wonderland of the wildlife just for ruthless ambitions as well as sinful amusements to their cruel liking.
Speaking of something or someone whose completely dangerous as well as cruelly powerful to the core than all three meaningless non threats alongside weak willed vicious animals in the environmental fields, an ultimately superior half draconic serpent headed with efficient hazel colored short hair, deadly sapphire crystalized eyes, a flawless muscular torso that is unscathed from measly predators, then an arrogant demeanor which incredibly possess unlimited arctic daggers yearning to impale any spinless fool who would dare stood in his way impatiently when it comes to apprehending his fresh prey.
His name is Seto Kaiba, predatoric tyrant from the unknown depths of Kaiba Kingdom, secondly known toward every other imperfect underlings of both kinds as the Blue Eyes White Serpent. All have heard, been gullibly frightened of, more so, would become thousands times more foolish enough to oppose or encounter him with countless countless means necessary, of course if they are fully prepared to face their optionless demise by the cerulean serpentine's supremely devastating attack so vilely indestructible called White Lightning Burst, a terrorizing element for which he unleashes the blazing energetic aura carrying an issueless control once accumulated an abundance of power and then, fires the atomic winter lighted beam from his mouth to instantly dismantle imperfect foes as well as human garbage from his sight.
He demands no wretched equal, disgusting friendship or measly tag alongs. Most importantly of all, nothing in this circle shaped ball decorated of sea as well as ground will ever measure upward to the glorified predatory emperor of power. For every single goal shall always descend into his claws, never forgetting about taking anything he desires by force.
Sauntering aimlessly throughout the lively pillaring pine woods holding an empty bucket in your hand by a handle to fetch some clear H2O, you unhastingly began to feel the mellifluous gale generously caressing on your fairly smooth skin alongside your gorgeous locks as you allow it to do so.
Accompanied with innocent hearted quadruple feathered birds greeting in a sweet loveable chirp to you until one of them glided over to your shoulder, petting it with a finger onto the head writing a warm smile in your expression.
Finally arriving toward the majestic lake after an "exhaustingly" long stroll around the green maze, possessing no signs of complaints, you advanced closer to the elegantly crisp liquid with a pale in two hands being prepped for liquid hunting, bending down cautiously to scoop up a small pint of water from the gigantic puddle heretofore returning to the house.
Suddenly, out of the blue, there was a menacing hiss that emits somewhere into the territorial grounds following with several soundings of rustling bushes caused by an anonymous reptile, however, it wasn't an original snake or a large andocanda. Instead, it is yet a much colossal encounter for some people like you to watch out for, or act literally concerning about warnful encounters.
Becoming extremely cautious of your unprotective surroundings, wielding a water filled bucket toward your chest, the sibilated sound has started to increase thus closely, poking out its deadly iced peepers throughout the bushes straightly at you to observe your species. This time, an unknown noise have chosen a better victim, one who poses as a helpless little damsel foolishly lost her way inside the center of a jungle.
"Hmm.... What do we have here.....? A defenceless little bitch with no proper sense of direction whatsoever? How utterly curious...." The darkly voice mutter inaudibly, spying on you without notice as it soaks its lips by the long tongue slowly rotating.
Lastly, without any additional volunteers present, including other differential females to appear as well as come up here to bravely obtain the rap, that defenseless young damsel....is you. Having no plentiful time to ponder about retaliation nor attempting to seek for a safe spot to hide, you decided to run away from the unstoppable threat immediately deserting behind a bucket of cool water afar of the bayou earlier without looking back.
"Heh.... That's right, you impudent little bird.... Fly away to your nest.... As far as you hardly can... For it'll only be a matter of time until I apprehend my sweet meal without breaking a pathetic sweat...."
Unexpectedly behind, an inescapable pursuer exceeds the average speed of pathetically slow beasts such as cheetahs, foxes, the other types also by his ginormous wings atop of his back. Making this useless game of cat and mouse as effortless as solving a diamond theft case to his part. You started to flee even faster to your hardest than ever before, especially when your own well being is at stake or in peril. Unfortunately, it was already too late for you to reach toward your household as your chaser's tail unnoticeably grabbed you from nowhere.
A shocking gasp flows right out of your mouth due to an easy apprehension, your body has been sealed by a beastly grasp of a coil as you inaugurately tried to struggle yourself free out of this predicament. Afterwards, a devious chuckle is now magnifyingly heard towards you, belonging to none other than the legendary tyrannical dragon naga himself.
"Well well.... Look what I have caught in my tail.... A naughty little treassser who ignorantly filched something that doesn't belong to her... Just my luck..." Spoke the cockingly handsome brunette, slowly revealing his extraordinary self with a carving smirk on his boned face while restraining your every move to scram safely.
Gulping in infinite silence with a side of an undoubtable petrified look into your eyes as you first witnessed your merciless captor in the flesh, Kaiba can actually sense your unfleeing fear too clearly. Slithering toward your helplessness then extending his hand to cup your soft cheeks, he coyly tsks.
"Foolish little tramp... Haven't your idiot parents ever told you not to steal someone's important possessions without consent? For example, my luxurious bathing pond?"
Now that you really thought about it, since the early day where you went onward at a pond to grab some water before this incident had occurred, you have infiltrated his most restricted but also secretly rare kingdom, it all come back to your senses.
Your pupils redirected from the ground to his, bowing your head an apologetic matter for infiltrating his formal property. Although that the all mighty remorseless half snake such as him would always turn down as well as refuse to accept anyone's blabbering apologies for wasting his flawless time, which he never does, he had some occasional ideas on what to do with you instead.
"Fine then. I'll accept your little apology for now. But on one condition..."
Your head once again starts to nod as you would listen to him very closely, doing your best to not get on his nerves, waste his competent time, or piss him off quickly.
"Until you will learn to stay out of my domain and to know your place like an obedient little pheasant, you'll become my personal slave for the rest of your worthless life. Otherwise, your precious little body belongs to me only. Nobody else can have you nor will you go back to your ridiculous home. You obey only to me. Understand?"
Thirdly, you had no choice but to offer him a covenant nod of your head complying to his utter whim without resistance. His smirk grew slightly wider at your response.
"Good. At least you learn your lesson by now, little bird. Never invade my personal territory again or I will have the pleasure of devouring your slutty body whole myself. So you had better remember that and do as I command. That's your first order from now on." He demanded coolly, having you to reply at his command simultaneously.
"Mmm... That's better. You're beginning to behave yourself like a good little tweetling for once. Despite your puny resistance against my maximum superiority or foolishly attempting to escape my reach, you would do well to satisfy my needs. Whether you will like it or not...." Grinned Kaiba, still holding your damageless face in one hand yanking it closer to his.
"As of right now, you will address me as "superior master". Meaning that I alone will dominate everything in my path by force. That includes you too, birdie~ Just so long as you don't disappoint me any further like the repulsive lot~, that is...."
Casting aside a now forgetful misunderstanding accident to the breeze, Kaiba initiated his seductive personality into complete secrecy just for you, reaching his face over to yours before impaling your lips deeply with his. Traditionally, presenting a slightly painful nibble unto your soft thin neck first. A whimpering moan hurls afar of your lovely maw as he then bit into it. Symbolizing you as his personal irreplaceable slave for eternity.
Lastly, the moment of truth now arises from its slumber as the draconical genius directs his attention from the bitten neckcollar, aiming it toward as well as laying dual clawed hands on your heavenly puff cheeks to gladly consider your apology with acceptance of a kiss.
"And as for your apology, I will declare this....acceptable. In other words, you'll forevermore belong to me, my troublesome little bird~...."
His cold thin line lips has been granted an honor to jammed them into your sweet warm ones so deeply and with enough white energy inside his hybrid anatomy, extra hungrily to only absorb an ever living breath thoroughly from your lungs. You respond this harden osculation properly despite yourself becoming unable to be released from the coiled up position.
Endlessly making out along with the ocean eyed naga holding your body close into his smexy arms in an embracive cuddle, sharing each other's tongues, this too, will surely be of your magical once and a life time fantasy you'll never wish to forget or ignore at all. Rearranging from a decently singular girl, to accepting of being Seto Kaiba's cute little love slave forever, disregarding about you not asking for this.
All has becoming fascinatingly perfect for the both of you. Regardless of the polar opposites in the world, Mother Nature, not to mention a treasured relationship between Kaiba as well as you, has hardly ever been this gracefully harmonious.
"You're all mine now, my helpless little slave~...."
The End

Stuck in Another Dimension (Part 1)
Word Count: 1,413 words Post Duel Monsters anime. This takes place a few years after the end of the show. Dub continuity plus a version of DSoD. Female reader. Summary: The reader and Kaiba have been accidentally tossed into another dimension. After a series of adventures, they’ve landed in the possession of this dimension’s version of a man Kaiba was hoping to never see again. *** This version of Gozaburo wore a snow white suit. He seemed more at ease than the ones you had met in the past, but even a child could read the predatory gleam in his eyes. “So you two are accidental travelers from another dimension, hmm? It sounds like you might be of some use to me, Seto.”
“I’ll never help you.”
“Do I allow you to talk to me this way back in your home dimension?”
“You don’t allow anything, old man. Where I come from, you’re gone.”
“Gone? I’m surprised you can function without a strong hand to guide you, Seto.”
It had been a very long day, and your frustration overcame Kaiba’s instructions to leave the talking to him, “Kaiba’s stronger than you ever were—he outmaneuvered you back when he was just a teenager! All you managed to do was mess up a good kid and then off yourself when he bested you and took over Kaiba Corp.” You avoided looking over at Kaiba as you took a deep breath, “So quit acting so superior and deal with him as your equal.”
“Seto, are you in the habit of permitting your woman to interrupt important negotiations?”
“No.”
You bristled at the phrase “your woman,” but already regretted your outburst enough to keep quiet and avoid a second one.
“Which is one of the reasons” Kaiba continued coldly, “I requested you leave her with the petty criminals in Satellite until the conclusion of our business.”
“And here I thought you were nobly trying to protect your lover.”
“I’ve never been a fool who wasted my time with romance. She’s my assistant.”
“Then you no longer have any use for her. My Seto will be able to provide you with any assistance you may require.”
“I told you, I won’t—”
“Roland?” Gozaburo interrupted, “Take the young woman out to the courtyard and have her shot.”
“What?!”
“Now now, Seto, giving yourself away when faced with an obvious ploy like this? You do have an emotional investment in the girl.” Gozaburo turned to you, “What are you to him? Be honest.”
“We’re friends.”
“Lovers always say they’re friends.”
You glared. “Yes, well, if you know Kaiba at all then I think you know we’re not. But thanks to you, what should have been a simple friendship took years to acknowledge.”
“Nevertheless, tell me about your relationship without trite words like ‘friends.’”
“I’m…He trusts me.”
“Go on.”
“Uh. We’ve been through a lot. We’ve worked well together. And we’ve…”
“Yes?”
“At this point Kaiba’s realized I may be the only person who will neither fall in love with him nor leave him behind. Frankly, it’s a quality I appreciate in him as well.”
“Anything else?”
You hated this, “He gives me freedom, and I give him…whatever the heck it is that makes people like being friends with me.” You shrugged.
“You’re friends?” Gozaburo asked.
You glared and nodded. 
“Now that is interesting; friendship is a relationship of equals—souls standing shoulder-to-shoulder and facing life together. It’s a powerful force.” Kaiba looked surprised to hear Gozaburo talking like this. “That being said, I don’t tolerate anyone acting above their station. And however Seto may view you, you’re not at my level, and I do not allow underlings emotional outbursts during business dealings.” 
“But—”
“Don’t worry. Pawns are useful, and I’m not in the habit of destroying what I can use.” Gozaburo looked past you. “Roland, fit them with a pair of collars.”
“Very good sir. And shall I have them sent Underground?”
You could hear a man walking up behind you as Gozaburo said, “ Not yet.” You flinched as the man pulled aside your hair and clamped a metal band around your neck. Raising your manacled hands, you tugged at the item experimentally. Immediately, a shock of pain coursed through you. A moment later, when the pain ended, you were panting on your knees, glad to have stopped screaming, disoriented, afraid.
Kaiba was still on his feet, barely. “Whatever you did, don’t do it again.”
“Right.” You mentally kicked yourself for tugging on the stupid thing, of course it would be designed to prevent removal. And although your memory of the moment was hazy, you were pretty sure your actions had triggered Kaiba’s collar as well.
“Is there anything I can invent you won’t steal and misuse?” asked Kaiba as you shakily stood.
“How perceptive, Seto. These shock collars are an invention of your counterpart.”
“So you’ve got access to a contactless neural interface. What do you need us for again?” You suspected you wouldn’t like the answer.
Gozaburo appeared to see you in a new light, “You could recognize the technology after only one use?”
You kept quiet.
“I asked you a question!”
“Yeah, of course. It’s the primitive version of the neural interface we use in our Adventure System.”
“Which is?”
You wanted to be out of the spotlight, “An escape game system which combines Solid Vision with a neural interface to create an immersive experience for the player. Obviously our technology is much more advanced than yours, but I remember the earlier prototype stages well enough to recognize the sensation.”
“I’ve always assumed Seto’s obsession with games developed as a coping mechanism to deal with his separation from Mokuba. But perhaps you’re simply fated to waste your potential on frivolity.”
“Mokuba?” You could hear the change in Kaiba’s voice.
“Oh, don’t worry, you’ll be spending a great deal of time with your brother’s counterpart.” Gozaburo walked back to his desk and pushed a button on his intercom, “Seto, come to my study.”
You raised your manacled hands.
Gozaburo smiled, “Ask your question.”
“What exactly are you planning to do with us?”
“She’s rather direct, Seto. But then, you’ve never had much subtlety either.” Gozaburo turned back to you, “Seto will be sent underground, where he will work in a labor facility until I send for him.” 
“I’m not working for you,” Kaiba interjected.
“Oh, Seto, I think breaking your spirit will be much more fun this time around.” Gozaburo smiled and placed his hand over his wristwatch.
Your eyes widened in realization, and then you were yelling in pain, dropping to one knee, yanking desperately at your collar in a mindless effort to remove it. When it was over, you could see Kaiba in a similar pose. For a moment, it was all you could do to fight off a wave of dizziness, “What about me?”
“My Seto has his birthday in a few days. You will be my gift to him. A reward well earned.”
“Oh?” You weren’t in the right frame of mind to respond intelligently.
“He’s never had a slave of his own before. I wonder how he’ll put you to use?”
“Wait,” Your mind finally cleared, “you’re splitting us up?”
“Indeed, although with these collars your lives will continue to affect one another. I find it rather poetic.”
“I hate you.”
“No doubt you do. But if you want to say your goodbyes, you should reorder your priorities.”
Kaiba sneered, “If you think you can hold either of us for long, you’re delusional.”
“You have spirit, Seto. But how long can it last?”
“Kaiba…” You weren’t sure what to say. 
“Same rules as always?” he asked.
“Yeah. Of course. Do what needs to be done. But…if we could limit your rebellion to the bare minimum, that would be good.” You forced a small smile, “The pain settings on these collars are really high.”
“You can take it.”
“Yeah, but I’d prefer not to.”
“Hmh.”
“You're rather different than I expected,” observed Gozaburo.
“Shut up, old man.” Kaiba turned back to you, and his eyes softened a smidge, “I forgot; this is your greatest—”
“Don’t,” you tilted your head towards Gozaburo.
Large men grabbed Kaiba and pulled him to his feet. “If my duplicate gives you any trouble, don’t hesitate to make him suffer.”
“Sure.”
“You’ll pay for this, Gozaburo!” Kaiba shouted his last words before the men dragged him out of the room.
“Now,” Gozaburo loomed over you, “I believe we still have the small matter of your outburst to settle.”
“You’ve made your point abundantly clear, there’s no need to make it again.” You tried not to sound panicked.
“Without consistency, rules are useless.”
You tried to keep from crying out when the pain came, but couldn’t. You could hear Gozaburo chuckling over your anguish, and then your vision blurred, narrowed, and faded to darkness as you passed out. Part 2

Shiki and Smoky ( AKA me and my girls ocs together) 16. daunting part of the processes honestly getting it out of my head onto paper. Its so hard for me because i see it so perfectly finished in my mind but if i cant see it happening when i draw it i freeze. Idk how to explain it honestly. Sometimes i wish i had the ability to just, plug my brain up into a printer. Its very hard for me to just go with the flow because my brain doesn't break down the steps it takes to get to the end, i just see the finished idea and its HARD AF TO GET THROUGH

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜ ( for Kaiba )
He could have laughed at Atem's words. In fact, something that resembled a sneer painted itself upon the CEO's lips, as his cold gaze settled upon Atem's purple eyes. Leave it to the proud ex-pharaoh to attempt to downplay what had just transpired, pretending like had not looked as though he were seconds away from conjuring every preternatural resources he had at his disposal, to rid himself of the unyielding annoyance in the form of some random attendee that could not take 'no' for an answer.
Seto had been immersed in conversation with a group of rather appreciative investors that were still basking in the sweeping success of their latest venture with Kaiba Corporation, when he noticed, from the very corner of his eye, what was unfolding at the other side of the room. The expression upon Atem's face told him all he needed to know, about the man who stood at the ex-pharaoh's side and, by the looks of it, was threatening to trespass the boundaries of personal space.
His own action came quicker than his mind had time to process. Slipping away from the conversation was easy enough; and almost as easy was the task of driving the present nuisance of a man away. All it took was for him to close the distance, making his presence known to other, whose eyes widened like plates upon finding himself face to face with the night's host. An icy glare was followed by one simple word: 'Leave'. And, just like that, the man disappeared into the crowd as if fleeing for his life, the sight not unlike that of a dog running away with its tail between its legs.
Tumblr media
❛ You are a fool if you think I trust your methods of 'keeping everything under control', ❜ he practically spat, his words hinting that his intention had only been that of preventing Atem from causing a scene that might jeopardize what had, thus far, been an absolute success of an evening. It was partially true, anyway. There was absolutely no way he would allow this to escalate and potentially interfere with the satisfactory conclusion of this event. What he would not disclose though ( not in a million years ), was that beyond his intention of averting a probable fiasco, the sight itself had thoroughly irritated him, pushing him to act on impulse, as if a switch had been flipped inside his mind.
Though the mere thought of this bothered him in ways that proved impossible to describe, he refused to give any further thought to it. Instead, his gaze left Atem's to search the rest of the room; blue eyes narrowing upon finding Yugi and the rest of his entourage, completely oblivious to their surroundings. They were conversing with one another, with the blond mongrel of the group almost pressing his face against the tempered glass that protected and exhibited Kaiba Corporation's new duel disk.
A scoff left Seto's lips.

@flyatahighergame for Seto
Atem had wallowed long enough. He did his best to stay hidden but the truth of the matter was every time he saw Kaiba, or saw anything branded with KC, it took everything in him not to march straight down to Kaiba Corp and ring his rivals idiotic neck.
How dare he use some magical item he had no idea how to use when he was constantly pretending it didn’t exist? How could you be careful if you barely acknowledged the damn thing powering your gods forsaken ship?
Galavanting around dimensions like there were no repercussions. Stupid.
He used magic he didn’t have to spare to bypass the front desk or well…any desk. In fact it was worth it to hear Malice rejoicing to just stroll into Kaiba’s office.
“You absolute fool.” He growled shutting the door. “What the hell is wrong with you Kaiba Seto?”
