Chapter One
Take it or leave it
I was running, from what…well lets just say it would not be fun on my end of the line. I could hear men's voices from behind and kept up my pace. I turn down a side street and…dead end. I turn around in time to see the men closing in on me. I look around for something, anything I could use as a weapon…no luck. They were closing in on me twenty feet…fifteen…ten…five…four…three I was scared now. But before they could reach me they were stopped by a shout from the street.
"Now if you boys want trouble, go ahead and keep moving forward." It was a mans voice, cocky and proud.
"And who are you to stop us?" One of the men asked stupidly it sounded like he had a lisp.
"I warn you…now turn back and no one gets hurt." Same cocky voice.
"Who are you?" Same person same stupidity.
"No one of consequence." Ok now who is this man?
"And if we don't?" Still stupid.
"Than you must face me in a duel."
Ok maybe if he would just step into the light I could tell who it was. I could see the lights of a duel disk in the shadows of the street.
"It's time to end this and before we even started…I summon Blue-eyes White Dragon!"
Remind you of someone yet? He took a step forward into the light of a street lamp. Standing in front of us was none other than Seto Kaiba. The men were scared now, and I was unnerved by his appearance…I mean who expects the Seto Kaiba the C.E.O and owner of Kaiba Corp. The men ran past Kaiba scared for themselves and there decks. He walked forward and stopped a mere two feet in front of me.
"Thank-you." I said with a low bow.
"For what?" He asked.
"Well for saving me, and now I owe you."
"And just because I save you, you think you owe me something?"
"Well it was how I was trained, so yes."
"Well forget about it." He said walking off.
"No, my master would never approve." I began to follow him.
"Go away, I have more important things to deal with."
"No, I will not be forgotten that easily." My bag was on the ground and I picked it up, pulling out my assassins daggers.
"What is that?"
"My daggers, why?"
"You know I might be able to use you after all."
"Really?"
"But first you must complete some tests of skill." I smile.
"Bring it on."
I follow Kaiba to the testing grounds, the place was an assassins paradise. I mean they had it all, every little piece of equipment you could think of.
"Now all you have to do is get past every challenge."
"Fine by me."
First over a pit of mechanical crocodiles, past flame spurts, under blades, than four swinging blades simple right? Crocodiles no problem, flames to simple a hiss than boom, blades not a scratch, swinging blades complicated. Pass one stop watch, pass next repeat pass, next repeat pass, last one watch get the rhythm go, and it missed me by a hairs breath. I sighed to close for comfort. Seto Kaiba just looked at me in disbelief, and I made a bow. Seto's voice came over the intercom,
"Congratulations you are the first person to go thought that and come out unscathed, you are now a Kaiba Corp. guard." I gave another bow as a thank-you. "And your first job is to make sure nothing happens to my little brother."
I stare wide eyed at Kaiba mouth agape. He is kidding right?
"I know what you're thinking, and no I'm not."
Oh crap, how am I supposed to do this, I thought he was kidding! Oh gods have mercy on my soul.
