The Story of My Life

6

I found myself sitting in the back of Kaiba's limo with Mokuba right beside me.
Seto Kaiba was upfront, next to the driver, naturally commanding the space as if the world belonged to him.

No assigned seating—he always takes control.

We drove through the city, eventually making our way toward the mansion where the Kaiba brothers lived.
As we traveled, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen.
It was unsettling but familiar
The kind of tension you grow used to when you're constantly dodging the unknown.
The Kaiba brothers, both rich and influential, ran their empire with precision.
KaibaCorp wasn't just a corporation—
It was a massive force in the dueling world, hosting countless tournaments and events. Yugi was usually in those, because, well, Kaiba always had his reasons.
His rivalry with Yugi was famous, but he was driven by more than that.

Seto Kaiba wasn't just a businessman;
He was the CEO and President of KaibaCorp, handling everything from the business sector to international dueling events.
Mokuba , always by his side, helped him manage it all.
Together, they had reshaped the dueling world into something more than just a game—
It was a spectacle.
The kind that made people feel alive, and also made Kaiba more powerful.
Without his influence, the economy around this culture would collapse.
In his own way, Kaiba had built an empire. And even though it wasn't a world government
It sure felt like he ruled over an entire universe of dueling.

"So, what's in it for me here? Why exactly are you taking me with you?" Yuza

I finally asked, the question lingering in my mind since we'd left.
Kaiba, without even looking back, replied,

"I'm taking you with me because leaving you with those fools would be a waste. They serve no purpose." Seto Kaiba

Mokuba chimed in with his usual optimism.

"Those guys didn't seem right at all. We couldn't just leave you with them, so you're coming with us. Give my brother some credit. He may act tough, but he's not all bad," Mokuba

He said with a grin.
I glanced toward the front where Kaiba was, still unsure.

"He doesn't exactly give off 'friendly' vibes." Yuza

Mokuba

"Yeah, that's just Seto being Seto. But he's got his reasons for everything. You're better off sticking with us, trust me." Yuza

I sighed and nodded, relaxing a little.

"Alright, I guess I can give him the benefit of the doubt." Yuza

I nodded.

"You have a point," Yuza

I admitted.

"What do you think? I promise it won't be so bad coming along with us," Mokuba

His tone was light, but with a hint of concern.

"I don't mind," Yuza

I replied with a shrug, trying to seem nonchalant..
Though my mind was racing.

"I knew you'd say that! Besides, with the way things are going, it's probably safer to stick together." Mokuba

"Yeah, maybe you're right. I've had enough surprises for one day," Yuza

I added, glancing out the window at the storm outside.

He continues

"It won't be so bad hanging out with us for a while." Mokuba

"You pretty much saved me back there, even though I had them handled." Yuza

I shot Mokuba a quick smile,
Remembering how I had fended off the group earlier.
Kaiba closed his eyes, his expression unreadable, then added,

"If you don't want to come, I won't force you, but there's a lot more at stake than you realize. That's why you're with me." Seto Kaiba

I frowned slightly, still unsure.

"I'm fine with coming along, but I just want to know—why me?" Yuza

Kaiba remained as cryptic as ever.

"For reasons," Seto Kaiba

He said curtly.

"Fair enough," Yuza

I muttered, still puzzled.
As the limo drove on,
A strange sensation crawled over my skin.
It felt like something, or someone, was watching us.
I couldn't place it, but I knew we'd be facing more than just a simple ride to the mansion. Something was coming—something dangerous.
My instincts never lied, and they were screaming now.

Thunderstorms began to rumble in the distance, and the rain soon followed, hammering down on the city.
Traffic slowed to a crawl, leaving us stuck on the road for what felt like hours.
The rain painted the sky in shades of gray, as if the day itself was turning into an endless, gloomy night.
I couldn't help but feel like this was a sign of things to come,
As if though.. the storm outside mirrored the storm brewing within me.

I glanced at Mokuba
Who was casually telling me about the mansion trying to ease the tension.
But my mind wandered.
I couldn't shake the feeling that whatever awaited us at Kaiba's mansion
It would be something more than I was prepared for.

The stakes were higher than they'd ever been, and I wasn't sure if I was ready.
But one thing was certain—
There was no turning back now.
