After defeating Set and his minions, Pegasus had asked Amon and Selene's mother to marry him, causing her to accept his proposal as they set the wedding date five months from now at Pegasus' Duelist Kingdom. As it was getting close to the wedding, everyone have aboard a luxurious cruise ship that was charted to go to Duelist Kingdom thanks to Pegasus' arrangement to make sure that they made it in time on the big day. As everyone was having fun, Seto Kaiba, however, was either too busy with work or too preoccupied with something else, causing him not to have fun.
Even though Seto still have a bit of hatred towards Pegasus from what he did in the past, had accepted the fact that Pegasus would be his beloved Subaru's step-father while thinking if Pegasus would try to do the same stunt again like he did in the past or not.
'I shouldn't be thinking of things like that. After the Duelist Kingdom Tournament, he had lost his Millennium Eye and has been different ever since. I know I should worry, but if he is still up to his old tricks, I will make him regret the day he ever upset Selene and her family,' he thought to himself as he felt a tug on his arm, causing him to look down to see Mokuba."What is it Mokuba?" He asked him as he was getting his towel while wearing his dark blue swim trunks.
"We're suppose to meet up with Yugi and the others at the pool," Mokuba replied to his older brother, grinning a bit. "Maybe Selene will be there too," he teased as he saw his brother's blushing a bit while giving him an icy piercing glare, causing Mokuba to head out of the room immediately.
Seto shook his head as he hated when someone was teasing him, even if it was from his own family as he slipped on his sandals and walked towards where the pool was at.
Near the pool, Amon Chiba was playing chess with Ryou Bakura while unknown to them, Bakura and Malik was plotting on how to create chaos on the ship. Amon moved his black chess piece as he touched the stop button on the machine next to them.
"Check," he said as he looked over a bit to see their friends enjoying themselves in the pool while wondering what was keeping his twin sister, Selene.
While he was thinking, Ryou was analyzing the situation as he looked at the other for a moment, knowing that Amon was thinking about something and decided to break his concentration a bit. "Thank you for helping me keep an eye on my other self, Amon. He could be a real handful sometimes," Ryou said as he moved his white chess piece on the board.
"Hm?" Amon replied as he looked over at the other again. "Oh, no problem. I mean, someone has to keep him along with Malik out of trouble and make sure they aren't plotting to do something devilish like taking over the world and stuff," he added and saw the situation he was in, figuring out what to do next. "You really are good with this, Ryou. I might need to think long and hard how to get myself out of this predicament," he said, causing the other to smile.
During that moment, Marik walked over as he holding two plates in his hands: the right was the drinks while the left had the food. "Who is winning?" Marik asked as he set the plates on the table so they would get some nourishments after they were done with their little game, which he would play the winner.
"Hard to say," Ryou replied as he looked at the other for a moment, smiling softly. "Amon is planning on how to get out of the situation that I put him in, so it might take a while," he stated. Just after Ryou had said that comment, Amon figured out and moved his chess piece over and smirked a bit.
"Checkmate, my friend," he said to Ryou as he looked at the other, who was surprised while analyzing the situation until he saw his small mistake.
"That was something I didn't expect," Ryou said as he looked at his friend across from him as he offered his hand. "Good game, Amon. I will expect to play against you again soon," he stated.
"Of course you will, Ryou. That's a promise," Amon replied as he shook the other's hand as he looked over at Marik. "You ready Marik?" He asked him as he saw the other male's reaction when he won the game, causing him to softly chuckle. "Who knows? You might beat me," he said to encourage the other.
Marik nodded his head as he got into the chair that Ryou got off from as both players began setting their chess pieces in their exact spots again to start the game.
At the pool area, Yugi, Tristan, Duke and Joey were playing water sport games in the pool while Téa, Serenity, Mai and Ishizu were on the beach lounge chairs to tan themselves from the sun's rays. Yami and Odion were doing research about Ancient Egypt until Yami saw Seto coming over with Mokuba running ahead of him, causing Yami to nod his head to Seto. Seto nodded back to him as he knew that they were still rivals, but he was actually getting used to having him around whenever they were not dueling, especially for this case. Seto set his towel down to lie upon as he looked around for a moment, causing him to raise his brow as he didn't see Selene in the area.
"Where is Selene?" Seto asked as he gotten some of the party's attention.
"She said she would be out here in a minute. She had to decide which bathing suit she was going to wear," Téa replied.
"Yeah, you know how ladies are. They want to wear something perfect for an occasion, especially to impress us gentlemen," Duke stated as he was already picturing what Selene would be wearing, causing Seto to give him a glare that gave Duke the chills just a bit.
"Watch out, Duke. You don't want to have the dragon tyrant on your case by trying to make moves on Selene," Joey said to the other as Seto gave him a glare as well.
Seto He was about to say something to Joey until he heard faint footsteps coming over, causing him to turn around to see Selene. She wore a white bikini with silver trimmings while having a linen drape skirt around her waist that reached to her knees, smiled at her friends while holding a sandy-colored towel.
"I'm sorry that I'm late everyone. I wanted to wear something descent," Selene said as she looked at them. Her presence made Yugi blush while Duke, Joey and Tristan had their jaws dropped just a bit while looking at her as the girls shook their heads at them, giggling that they were either bashful or looking like idiots, which it was at least a bit of both depending who they were thinking of. Yami blushed crimson as he stuck his nose into the book as he cleared his throat just a tad bit while Odion faintly chuckled at the Pharaoh's reaction.
"You would look better if you had nothing on, dear Selene," Malik replied as Bakura smirked a bit at the devilish thought from Malik's suggestion, causing Joey and Tristan to drool from the thought and whistled at her. Seto glared at them as he got up suddenly, making him feel like his Blue-Eyes White Dragon was behind him as he made his hand into a fist.
"Enough with the perverted thoughts you fools! And stop with your calls, Monkey and Dog!" Seto barked at them as he walked over to Selene and wrapped his arm around her waist. "If you do that again, expect to be beaten severely in a duel," he said with a vicious tone.
Selene blushed a bit as she looked at Seto. "Seto-kun.." She began to say as both Joey and Tristan was twitching from the insult from Kaiba himself.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MONKEY/DOG!?" They both shouted, leaving Seto to only smirk a bit in confidence.
"That is what you two are. Get use to those titles until you both act adults," Seto replied back. "At least you're not the two whackos over there, so be thankful," he stated. Hearing the word 'whacko' caused Malik and Bakura to look at each other for a moment and looked at Seto.
"You calling us insane makes everyone think as if it was a bad thing," Bakura replied as he smirked a little wicked.
"We're just a little 'gifted' in a way," Malik added while smirking wicked as well, causing Selene to shake her head and wanted to say something until Seto picked her up.
"Seto!" She squealed in delight as she held onto Seto, who took her to his towel and lying her down. She blushed as she lie down on her stomach while she unlatched her top to let Seto apply the suntan lotion and resting her head on her propped arms that were on top of her folded towel. "Mmm. That feels so nice Seto," she said as Seto only smiled while his brother rolled his eyes, not wanting to see the romance stuff as he went back inside to their cabin.
While everyone was busy, Malik and Bakura looked at each other as they were away from everyone in the area.
"What are you thinking of, Bakura?" Malik asked as he looked the other dark being while seeing the other only smirk.
"What do you say about causing a few minor chaos on this ship?" Bakura replied in form of a question as he glanced at him.
"What kind of minor chaos?" Malik asked again as he smirked as well.
"Oh Malik, you and I are going to have so much fun," Bakura replied once more as he began whispering the most wicked ideas on what to do to each specific person on deck.
