YGO (short ficlet)

[stellawind]

Loyalty was why Seto kept the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards long past the time Duel Monsters was played. He kept them in his locket, beside the picture of his brother, even as that same brother went away, to college.

Even now, with middle-age just beginning to catch up, he could recall the glint of the moon on white scales. He hadn't played them in over ten years, but they lay close to his heart, beside Mokuba.

Mokuba had moved on from Duel Monsters, had already begun to shape the new direction of the virtual world games that were beginning to sweep across the world even more virally then Duel Monsters ever had. Soon, Seto planned to turn over more control of the company over to him. Mokuba would do right by the company.

Kaiba Corp didn't need a CEO who was trapped in the past, which Seto was beginning to suspect stretched much, much further back than fifteen years ago.

Eerilly spot on, just where I saw the series going if that crappy spinoff had never been created.

*Joins in murder of GX, as it was obvoiusly a duelist's drug induced dream.*

After DM becoming such a focal point for some of the characters, I can see how a few of them might really have a hard time adjusting.

<3<3 I adore that line about a past stretching back further than fifteen years! Poor Seto. That is one thing I actually liked in the anime that wasn't in the manga, him getting to go to the memory game and see his own past. It's just too sad otherwise! haha just like the fic! beautifully beautifully written by the way, I just luuuuurves it!
