Chapter 1

**Star's POV**

"Damn I miss Cali already," I yawned looking out the window at the tall buildings of Domino City.

I'm Star Sanders I'm 17 almost 18 and CEO of Shooting for the Stars Corp., an electronic gaming company. We produce a lot of electronics and are finding ways to take games wirelessly, so the best of every country can play each other. I've been working on simple games that I know basic algorithms for, but I've wanted to take it to duel monsters with little success, meaning I need to hire better lawyers.

I saw the two stars with the double S's going through them, it's my logo. The limo stopped and the driver let me out. I thanked him politely and went inside.

"Star, there have been a few calls about meeting changes and your meeting this afternoon has to be moved up an hour," my assistant and best friend Aris said. I loved that she came her with me, so I can actually speak English to someone.

"What the hell's going on?" I asked getting aggravated, people run on my time and I don't run on anyone's.

"Apparently everyone is wanting to get an inside look at Kaiba's new contraption," she said as we entered the elevator.

"Cancel all of my morning shit and set up a meeting with Kaiba. Make the invitation sound interesting or he'll ignore it. I know, make sure to mention his new toy he's working on," I smirked.

"Which is?" Aris asked

"The duel disk, his plans leaked to me months ago and I'm wondering if he ever fixed one little, but major detail." I smirked walking into my office.

I logged into my computer and sat back waiting for the time of my meeting.

**Seto's POV**

I'm working on the last test for the duel disk and then I could announce the Battle City tournament. Only exclusive duelists were aloud in my tournament, of course I wanted the other god cards. The intercom went off interrupting my thoughts.

"Mr. Kaiba, Star Sanders would like to set up a meeting with you this morning," my assistant said.

Star Sanders, the blonde haired, blue eyed, tan skinned bimbo running one of my rival companies. I honestly can't stand the girl; she's immature and honestly has no intelligence like most Americans.

"Tell her I have no time for her." I said wanting this to end.

"She said that it was important pertaining to your duel disk sir."

I growled, I thought I had those plans locked down extremely tight. I may hate the girl, but she can hack any system with no problem.

"Fine, tell her to be here at 8am and not a second later."

**Star's POV**

"Do you ever think you over step boundaries?" Aris asked looking at me as we rode in my limo to Kaiba Corp.

I was sitting back sipping on my latte, of course she was referring to the duel disks, but I also just hacked into his computer again and found out about his little tournament. He has the final test on the duel disk this week, but I saw something missing with them that my company can help with, of course the only thing I want in return is a spot in this tournament.

"Nope never do," I smirked as she shook her head. "Plus it's easier to hack him since our companies are just down the road from each other now, instead of hacking him with a pacific ocean in the way."

"Ohh Star."

We pulled up in front of Kaiba Corp and got out. We walked into the building and up to the front desk; of course Aris took care of everything.

"Top floor Starry eyed," Aris said using my nickname.

"Thought so," I said getting in the elevator.

"All of you CEO's and top floors," she sighed shaking her head. The doors opened and there was his assistant. I feel like Aris and I are the only best friend assistant and CEO combos, but oh well.

"Star you can go in, I've got everything covered," Aris said as I nodded walking in the doors and closing them.

His office actually looks a lot like mine, except my office is decorated.

"Now what the fuck do you want?" Kaiba yelled in English, I was impressed.

His blue eyes full on glaring at me. Great it's going to take a lot of sweet talking here.

"Hi Kaiba," I said in Japanese.

"Sanders I don't have any business with you, now will you stop hacking my system and looking at my blueprints, so you can make your own. I will guarantee that I will sue you for everything you have plus more," he said angrily in Japanese.

"Calm down, you of all people should know that I keep my company and gaming systems online. I just noticed a detail you might have overlooked and that would be recording all of the duels that your duel disks are going to use. You may be using your tournament too-"

"How in the hell did you find out about the tournament?" he yelled cutting me off.

"Hello, hacker here; now be a good little boy and sit still till I'm done talking."

"You're about a half second away, before I throw you out," he growled.

"Fine, fine anyway once you go mainstream with them I noticed that you don't have a lot of space for all of the data. I'm trying to take duel monsters wirelessly, so American's can duel people all over the world for example and never have to meet. By us combining on this, both of our inventions will skyrocket helping both of us out. And by having the duels recorded anyone can go back and see strategies and combos helping everyone involved," I finished.

"And exactly what do you want if I even consider this foolish idea?" he asked glaring a little less.

"Nothing much a spot in your tournament," I shrugged.

"Really, you think you're that good that you deserve a spot in my tournament," he smirked emphasizing my. I leaned in close to him and smirked.

"You of all people should know how good I am," I said before pulling away.

"Alright, I have a deal for you. If you beat my duel system with my duel disk you have a deal, otherwise deal off."

"Deal," I said as we both walked out of his office.

"Aris get my deck from the limo, I have a duel to win."
