The Third Brother

Chapter 29: Seto Wants That Card

EARLIER THAT MORNING-YUGI'S POV
It was my final day of the tenth grade in high school. The school I went to was still Domino High school.

I grabbed my school outfit from the end of my bed. It was the same as last year, but instead of wearing that untucked white shirt like I wore when me and my friends went to Duelist kingdom, I wore that sleeveless black shirt I was always wearing after that entire Duelist Kingdom thing happened.

I pulled on my blue blazer and blue pants. I put on that leather belt and collar, and the shoes I usually wear.

I grabbed my Millennium Puzzle and slid the chain around my neck. I turned around to see a transparent version of the Pharaoh sitting on my bed.

"Are you ready, Yugi?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Let's go!" I said. I grabbed my school bag, walked out of my room, and soon found myself at the bottom of the game shop. You know, the part that all the customers would see when they would would walk through the door.

My grandfather, Solomon Muto, noticed me and smiled.

"Have a good day, Yugi."

"You too, grandpa. Bye!" I said. I waved at him and walked out of the game shop. One of my best friends, Téa Gardner, was waiting for me outside.

"Hi, Yugi! Ready to go?" She asked. I nodded.

"Yup!"

As we were walking to school, we talked about some things that had happened a few months ago.

"Yeah, I agree, Yugi. That Marik guy sure was weird. But he seemed fine after the duel the Pharaoh had with him."

I nodded.

"True."

When we got to school, Téa and I talked outside the gates for a few minutes. A familiar head of brown hair walked towards us. Behind him was someone else with green hair.

I recognized him right away: Seto Kaiba. He's not really an enemy, though. He's more of a rival.

"Hey, Kaiba!" I said, turning to him with a friendly smile. Téa smiled at him as well.

"Yugi Muto. I need to get to class now." He replied. He pushed himself between me and Téa and walked inside the school.

"I don't get it, Téa. Kaiba used to be nice when we were younger, but now..." I said as my voice trailed off.

His friend turned his head around a bit. I noticed him.

"Do you know why he's like this?" I asked.

"Yes, but I'm sorry..." He whispered. He turned his head back to facing forwards.

"Don't worry, Yugi. Seto Kaiba thinks he's some kinda big shot since he has his own company." Téa said.

"Yeah...I guess so." I replied as I looked back at her.

"And Yugi, you only played that one game of hide and seek with him when we were kids. Me, Joey, Tristan, and even Serenity don't even know just how nice he was to you during that game."

I was about to respond when a different voice cut me off.

"Hey! Yugi, Téa! Over here!" Said a familiar voice. I turned my head to my side a little bit so I could see the voice. It was Tristan! Next to him was Joey.

"Hi, Tristan! Hi, Joey!" I said.

"Hey, Yug! Hey, Téa." Joey said with a grin. He was wearing his normal school attire. He wore a light blue shirt underneath his blue blazer. Joey wasn't wearing his dogtag that he wears most of the time. I guess he was in a rush today and forgot about it.
