Chapter 1: Convenient Meeting You here
This story takes place in the virtual world after Téa had the little argument with Kaiba. The scene takes place where he is walking up those million of stairs trying to find his brother. Oh, I hope this doesn't confuse anyone.
"Hey Kaiba, wait up!" Téa yelled while running up the stairs.
Her hands were stretched vibrantly in the air as she tried to catch up to our famous Kaiba. He turned around and looked at her stubbornly. She smiled a little while rubbing down her dark blue short pants. She also wore a light blue arm sleeve (sleeveless) shirt with a lime green collar along with white knee length stockings and blue pumps.
"What do you want?" he asked, slightly irritated by her presence.
"Look. I'm sorry for bothering you. I just thought that I can help you find Mokuba." she smiled sweetly, touching her hair, "After all he did help rescue me so I think I owe it to him."
He frowned at her and scoffed. He didn't have time to deal with her. Why did she insist on annoying him?
"Why don't you go back to your geeky friends and stop annoying me?" he asked sarcastically with a grunt, "I have more important things to deal with."
Téa sneered at him, her face flushed with anger. Who did he think he was anyway? She was only trying to help him but then he had to go around and insult her. He turned the other way to continue climbing up the stairs, leaving her standing still like a fool.
'What a jerk.' she thought, staring at his retreating back.
"Fine, I'll leave." she turned to head back down the long stairs.
But before she could get too far the steps on which she stood turned into a large black circle. It covered the area in which they both stood. Her blue eyes widen in shock as she stared at Kaiba.
"Um…Kaiba?" she asked, nervously.
"What is it?"
"Is it just me or has the floor turned into a black circle?" she looked at him as he looked on the floor with the same expression she had.
Without even getting an answer from him the floor instantly opened up and swallowed them both.
"Ahhh!" they both screamed as they fell into the pit below.
Téa landed on her face while Seto fell on his back. The brown haired girl rubbed her face that ached terribly from the fall while Seto stood up immediately. He kept looking straight ahead and not at her scanning the scene to find out where they were. The place was pitch black, no light could be seen anywhere.
"Where are we?" Téa asked out loud, still on her knees.
"It looks like a cave." he muttered, finding a stick and lighting it with a match.
They both started to exit the cave slowly side by side in silence. They were a good distance from the exit when they heard something make a loud noise. From far within the cave came a deep exhale which caused a large puff of smoke to appear. Téa looked at Seto worried that it might be a monster or something. When they were almost out of the cave a giant dragon made its appearance right behind them. It was big and brown with wings clinging onto its back.
"What are we going to do?" Téa asked, frightened.
"Run!" he yelled as they both rushed out of the cave.
They came to a deserted area as the dragon followed roaring loudly behind them. Flapping its wings it threw sand everywhere. Sand flew violently around the two as they tried to escape. Seto still had his duel disk on his hand. Desperately, he touched it searching through his cards and pulled out the Blue Eyes White Dragon card.
"Blue Eyes White Dragon!" he yelled, stretching his hand forward, "Hit him with your white lightning attack!"
A large light blue dragon appeared in the form of a holographic image. Blue eyes let loose a light blue big ball of fire at the monster. The fire blasted the monster into bits which caused a large explosion to occur knocking them both to the desert floor. The impact of the explosion caused both Seto and Téa to land far apart from each other as the sand covered them. After a few minutes, Téa got up rubbing her head from the pain she felt. It was the second time for the day that she had fell and it was getting pretty annoying. She dusted off the sand on her body as she looked around for Seto but he was no where to be seen.
"What's going on here?" she asked herself searching frantically for him.
"Kaiba?" she walked further on the cream desert sand, "Kaiba, where are you?"
She walked some more and saw a hand sticking out from beneath the sand. Gasping in shock, she frantically dug through it to reveal his body laying there. She was so scared because it looked like he wasn't breathing. Panic and fear ran through her body as she stared at him.
"Kaiba, please wake up!" she yelled, tapping his face hard while shaking him lightly, "Please, please get up!"
She practically screamed as he laid there motionless. She went to touch his face one more time but he grabbed her hand immediately scaring her. Téa gasped as he gripped her wrist tightly.
"Are you alright?" she managed to ask after pulling her hand out of his grasp, rubbing it lightly.
"I'm fine." he stated, sitting up and coughing out some sand, "Just help me up."
Reluctantly, she helped Kaiba onto his feet though he managed to smile a little. Téa just growled at how arrogant he was behaving. Slowly, he brushed the sand off his clothes. He wore a black long sleeve shirt and pants. On his belt held the initials KC on it. He had a white arm sleeve (sleeveless) coat over it which extended to his ankles and two blue strap things wrapped horizontally around his upper arms and lower legs. On the end of his collar also held the initials KC once again which stood for Kaiba Corporation, his company. He also had a metal wrist thing on his lower arm coming to his wrist. Grunting, he stared at her skeptically.
"No need to get pushy." she muttered softly.
"Right." he replied softly.
There was immediate silence until a voice spoke.
"Ha, Ha Seto Kaiba, what an unlikely pleasure it is to see you again." Noah laughed as his face lit up from above.
A holographic image of a young boy stood in front of them.
"Where's my brother Mokuba?" Kaiba asked, holding an angry frown.
"Kaiba, Kaiba, your brother is safely with whom he rightfully belong with." he smirked, making Kaiba growl even more, "Well, I have a little game for you Seto Kaiba. A nice game that would help you find your brother."
"What is it?" he hissed, fighting the urge to knock the boy out.
Noah immediately appeared in front of them smiling. He had light sea green hair and purple eyes. He wore a white buttoned shirt and white shorts with brown shoes and blue socks. He had a purple outline on the shirt and pants and a design on the collar area of his shirt. He smiled vibrantly as he stared at Téa and Seto.
"In order to find Mokuba you will have to endure five levels of a scenario that I have created for you. You will be playing a role in the story line that I have designed." he smirked pointing towards Kaiba, "If you don't complete each level within the time allotted, you will lose your brother, FOREVER!"
Kaiba frowned while Noah cackled loudly.
"Listen to me you little punk! If you don't give me back my brother I'll-" Kaiba started, getting furious by the minute but got interrupted by Noah.
"You'll do what Kaiba?" he asked mockingly, in his annoying voice, "Remember you are in my world NOW and I RUN THE SHOW!" he laughed maliciously.
"Why you little jerk!" Téa yelled, finally entering into the conversation, "When Yugi and the gang finds me you'll be in so much trouble. They'll duel the socks off of you!"
"Silly girl, your friends can't do anything." he stated, showing her a small screen.
The silver screen showed Yugi and Joey dueling the big five who were located in Tristan's body. It showed Téa standing next to Serenity, Joey's sister while Duke, a dark haired boy stood there with them. Téa gasped as she looked at the screen and saw the girl that looked exactly liked her. Brown hair everything, it was her or at least a duplicate form of her. She frowned as she turned her attention `back at Noah.
"They don't even know you're missing!" he cackled hideously, raising his arms.
"Huh? Why you little-!" she yelled, moving to grab Noah but Kaiba held her back with his right hand.
He held her wrist tightly while she struggled to get loose and attack Noah. Seto stood his ground still gripping her wrist as if she was a dog on a leash. After she couldn't take it anymore she relaxed giving him a curious look. Seto ignored her and turned back to Noah.
"I don't have time for your petty games Noah. Unlike you I have a lot of responsibility to take care of. Something a little kid like you would know nothing about." Seto started, raising his duel disk, "Let's duel!"
The sea green haired boy chuckled before frowning.
"No. You play my game and if you do not pass it then we duel." he smiled staring him seriously, "Do we have a deal, Kaiba?"
Kaiba sighed looking at Téa for some odd reason. He wondered why he did that but shook off the thought.
"Come on Kaiba, just say yes." she replied, softly.
"Listen Gardner, I don't need advice from the likes of you." he stated, frowning and then sighing in defeat, "You have a deal Noah."
"Great then let the games begin!" the young boy replied, before disappearing.
Téa walked away angrily after the insult she had received from Kaiba. She brushed her feet through the sand as she tried to find a way back to her friends. What was she to do? She didn't where she was or where to go. Sighing, in attempt to calm her nerves, she looked ahead.
"Just when you think the guy couldn't get a bigger jerk, he goes around and surprises you." she replied angrily, clenching her fists, "I don't know why I decided to help this jerk."
Bowing her head, she quickened her pace upon hearing her name being called in the distance.
"Gardner!" he yelled, walking up to her, "Wait up!"
She stopped against her better judgment and turned around to look at him. She gave him a look that could kill. She was pretty frustrated with the stuck up CEO.
"The name's Téa Gardner, not Gardner, thing or girl!" she yelled, moving closer to him, "Got that?"
Seto looked down at her surprised. He wasn't expecting her to act so emotional about her name but then again he didn't really know her. He smiled a little as if to hide the frightening feeling he was getting.
"Yeah." he stated coolly as she backed away.
"Well, I'm leaving now. Have fun playing your little game for your brother's life." she stated, turning around and leaving him standing there.
She was acting as if she didn't care about Mokuba at all. Seto was shocked to say the least. He had never saw someone changed from angry to happy so quickly like her. He stood still as he watched her walk aimlessly through the sand.
'What's wrong with me? Why do I care if she leaves?' he asked himself, 'She's just a pain.'
Téa continued to walk deep in thought. She wondered what she would have to do in order to get back to her friends but nothing came to mind. The scenery remained the same and she was wondering why the games had not began as Noah had said. She continued to walk turning around to see Seto still standing in the same position she left him in. She giggled a little walking backwards.
'I can't believe I actually shut the arrogant Seto Kaiba up?' she smirked, putting her hand over her mouth.
She smiled some more walking backwards a little further until her left foot didn't touch the sandy ground. She quickly turned her head to see that she was falling over a cliff. She tried to move back forward but gravity was pulling her backwards.
"Ahh!" she screamed as she closed her eyes in fear, 'I'm doomed.'
She thought. But soon felt her body being pulled back up. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as she looked up to see Kaiba in front of her. He pulled her close to him preventing her from falling over the cliff. His face was serious but yet his eyes showed concern. By she wondered why.
"Uh…thanks." she replied, softly pushing herself from near him.
She couldn't help but blush a little and when she looked closer he was blushing too. Not too much to be seen but she saw it.
'Kaiba just saved me.' she thought still shocked while taking a quick glance at him, 'What's wrong with him?'
"Look, there's the door." he replied sternly, turning his attention to the door standing a few in front of them.
"Great I'll see you around then. Got to find Yugi and the others." she replied, moving away, "Have fun."
"You know you don't have a choice right?" he asked as she stared at him curiously.
"What?"
"You know you're trapped here with me and there's no way to find your friends," he stated smirking a little, "so you have no choice but to follow me."
"Whatever." she grumbled, following him towards the door.
'Trapped in a virtual world with Kaiba, how convenient?' she thought grimly.
'Wow, trapped in this virtual game with Téa, how convenient meeting her here.' he thought feeling rather weird.
That's the first chapter of my first Yu-gi-oh fic. Hope you guys like it. Please tell me what you think. I know it's weird with having a game Noah plan for Kaiba. But I think it's nice. What's his motive you might ask? I don't even know myself. But I just thought this would make a good story. Remember to review!
