Stocking walked past her sleeping sister, Panty, who was as bare as a beached whale roasting on the hot sand, and went right for the kitchen. Her personal fridge was empty of all of her wonderful sweets, and she was hoping that there was something in the main fridge she could munch on at the moment. Garterbelt never made sweets, as it was something he made her do, and Panty hates sweets, so there was no point in going through her things. She opened the fridge, and instantly frowned.

'Shit, nothing.' Well, saying there was nothing in the fridge wasn't correct, as there were plenty of spicy sausages and pork chops in it, but nothing that she was in the mood to eat. With a sigh escaping her lips, she closed the fridge and took the keys to See Through off the small table in front of the couch and left. Since it was the middle of the day, and a particularly hot day at that, she didn't want to stay outside for too long, as she didn't want to make herself or her dress all sticky with sweat. She wasn't sure what she would get, possibly lemonade or some sugar infested cakes, as those were always yummy to eat!

Much to her dismay, she wasn't the only one who wanted to get something good to eat, as her destination, a cafe in West Hollywood, was filled with people. She didn't trust 13 Cakes after the Gigantic Cloud fiasco, and the Oscar Cafe was still closed, which was understandable since he was a ghost. Orange Drop was the most popular sweet place in all of Daten City, so she KNEW that she wouldn't be able to get in unless she woke up early in the morning, a feat that she would never willingly do, and Whity-White was another ghost-ran place that she didn't trust.

Yes, Hell Pound was killed and every single of the ingredients that the place had been replaced by the original store owners, but she didn't want to possibly relive being a giant all over again.

'God, why can't I find a sweets place anywhere? I'll take anything sweet!' Stocking looked up at the sky, hoping that someone, hopefully mother, would answer her prayer. 'I'll take anything! You hear me? ANYTHING!'

She shouldn't have said that, she realized a few seconds after, as a small piece of brown paper landed on See Through's windshield, causing her to take a page out of Panty's book and lost control of the vehicle. She managed to cause little damage, mostly taking out the elderly and some electrical cars that were going rather slow, yet found herself safely parked on a parking spot. After taking a few moments to regain her breathing, she jumped out of the car, walking up to the offending item and grabbed it.

The object in question was a small brown card that wasn't even the size of her hand. If she only saw the brown features of it, she would of threw it the the ground, possibly ripped it to shreds, or use the card to help her start a fire. However, when she turned the card over, she found her gaze trapped onto the holographic image that unknowingly looked at her direction. The image on the card was certainly unique, as it showed a tall, crimson haired woman whose hair went past her breasts, had light purple skin, and had a strip of brown vein blinding her eyes. From there, a majority of her body was covered in these veins, all of which were focused upon left demonic wing that had three talons at the tip of the wing. Where her breasts were were two smooth sphere, which was odd, since the surrounding area were rough veins, though her arms were just as odd, with the left having sharp gold talons, while the right hand, though infested with veins, had a normal hand. The only thing that kept her clothed was a black sash, adding more to her already creepy image, though what sold it for her was its right wing.

It was an angel's wing.

It wasn't black, grey, or any other color she would of expected. It was a large, white wing that she might of seen on an Archangel in heaven, though why such an obvious creature from darkness would have such a heavenly image on her was beyond her. As if to further confuse her, the character had dark miasma, or a black aura, pouring off it, followed by an aurora borealis forming above. When she looked around the character's thighs, only darkness peaked past the growing veins and wings, causing her to wonder who could even THINK of such a card.

Then, it blinked.

"WHAH!" Stocking nearly dropped the card right off the bat, as what she saw scared her. Who wouldn't be scared of seeing where breasts were supposed to be reveal a pair of curious red eyes that stared right into theirs? She looked at the card once more, sighing in joy as she saw that the card's "eyes", if you will, were closed once more. She didn't know what exactly she was to do with the thing, as there was something odd about it, when she noticed that she saw the bolded words SODA TWO FOR A DOLLAR painted onto a window a few stores from her position. She, still holding onto the card, ran straight into the store, wondering what glorious sweet drinks it had for her to buy.

"Konichiwa! Welcome to the Card Buffet- Stocking?" She couldn't believe her luck! There, at the register, was Brief, otherwise known to the angels as Geek Boy, looking through a stack of cards that had the same back image of the card she found. She glanced at the store, and noticed that it was rather big, which was obvious due to all of the tables that littered the floor, and the shelves that had various figures and board games. She noticed two other rooms as she walked towards the counter, four if she counted the room that was restricted to employees only and "Bathroom 1", meaning that there were other bathrooms in the building. "W-what can I get for you Stocking-san?"

"Geek Boy," Stocking glared at the ginger boy, "I told you to call me Stocking. We're not in one of your mangas. We're in America!" Brief nodded, gulping at her presence. Now this she liked. Having mental control over people was one of her past times, unlike her sister, who loved seeing guys she didn't want to fuck anymore wanting to have a second shot at her. "Anyway, two things. I want four of your sugariest sodas, and I want you to tell me what the heck this card is." She placed said card on the conter, which Geek Boy glanced at before pointing to the row of candy bars and chips a few paces away from her.

"Do you also want some candy as well? We got a good selection on brand name sweets and some popular yet not so known candies as well." Stocking walked over and bent down, examining what stock Brief owned, and couldn't believe what she saw. There, wrapped in velvet blue packaging were Athena's Blood Candies, a Heaven only product that stimulated the brain, temporarily gave the eater brain cells that would provide them with additional knowledge, and was one of the highest ranked sweets in all of Heaven!

"How did you get this!" Stocking waved one of bags in the air, causing a slight gurgle to come from Brief. What made him make such a noise, she didn't know. She stood up just in time to see Geek Boy wiping his nose, instantly filling her own with the scent of blood. Was she bent so low that the skirt of her dress fell forward, revealing her bum to him? She couldn't help but to smirk and point at him. "Oi, PERVERT! I'm talking to you!"

"I-I'M NOT A PERVERT!" Brief shouted, causing her to lessen her smirk just a bit. He was so easy to get nervous, though she noticed that he spoke with less of that particular emotion and more confidence. "Anyway, my-my family holds a large power base over the city and its stores, thanks to it being one of the founding corporations long before Daten City was even called such. It was one of my ancestors that made a deal with one of the deities of Heaven, allowing them to claim our corporation and houses as bases, in exchange for us to be allowed their aid and the same rights as angels. My uncle, the owner of this card shop, is using it to his advantage by stocking up on popular angel sweets."

"When were you related to Heaven?"

"I'm not." Brief shrugged and pointed to the ceiling. "Though holding knowledge of such a deal was the main reason as to why I became so obsessed with ghosts and angels. Mind you, after being around it all, I guess I'm ready to go back to a normal life..." Stocking didn't know what to make of that statement, as Brief rarely said anything depressing. He was mostly a pouting boy, though when he was happy she couldn't help but to smile as well.

Not at him though, at the fact that Panty would instantly do something to break his smile, or break him. Whichever came first mind you.

'Then again,' She thought to herself, 'there is only so much someone could take of such punishment before they quit and do something else.' Stocking nodded, as she couldn't stop Geek Boy from no longer hanging out with them, even if she wanted to. Which she didn't. Why would she want to hang out with such a nerd in the first place? Still, she looked at the card and pointed to it. "You never did tell me what it is." Brief looked at it before sighing.

"Its called Darkness Neosphere from the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, and there is only one of it in the entire world." Stocking raised an eyebrow at that. Did that mean that the card is insanely valuable then? She could always use some more money to buy sweets, instead of selling used panties on the internet like her sister did for spare cash. "The reason I say that is because I can't find any other sources saying that such a card exists, so it must be something coming out for a future release. That, or you truly do have a one of a kind card that is meant to be yours Stocking-san."

"No suffixes Geek Boy, unless you want a meeting with Stripe 1&2."

"Better than being shot at by Blacklace I bet." Brief replied, causing her to chuckle, a rarity all on its own, though hearing Brief reply with an acceptable comeback was even rarer. He had his own smile, though a small one, and pushed the card back to her. "I can't take the card as long as its one of a kind though, as I wouldn't know how much its truly worth. So I suggest keeping it and wait for it to pop up on the internet, or to make a deck around it."

"No thanks. I'll just use it as a bookmark then." She paid for her candies and soda with a large smile on her face and thanked Geek Boy before opening the door. She wished she hadn't opened it, as a surge of hot air embraced her, causing her clothes to get supercharged with warmth, and made her skin feel nasty. She quickly closed it, welcoming the wonderful air conditioning the shop luckily had, and looked back at Brief, who looked at the computer on the counter.

"Oh wow. It says that today is supposed to be around one hundred and ten degrees today. I'd be surprised if anyone actually shows up today." Brief grabbed the stack of cards that were next to the register and sat at one of the tables, pushing the cards away from one another. She glanced at the cards, wondering why there were so many different ones for a simple game. At least, it must of been simple, if the cartoon show (she didn't even DARE to call that series an anime, as anything 4Kids touches dies, just like Tokyo Mew Mew) was targeted for kids. She sat down a few chairs away from him on the opposing side, taking a drink of one of her sodas and pulled out a candy bar to munch on.

"Damn, I need to work on my shuffling..." Brief muttered as he picked up the cards that fell. Stocking pulled one of his cards to him, a Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis, and couldn't stop herself from looking at her own card. What were so different between the two, considering one was black while the other was brown? Their images were obviously different, and both were equally shiny in their own ways, so either one had a special use, or the other could be usedin certain situations.

"Oi, Geek Boy." Her words made Brief hit his head against the table, bouncing even more cards to the floor. That, or it could of been the cold tone of her voice, she wasn't sure. She was delighted to see him rubbing the top of his head though, and smirked as he dropped his cards on the table. "This card." She pointed to the black one. "What is it, how is it different from this card, and why is it so different?"

"Well Stocking-sa, I mean Stocking, this is a Xyz monster, while yours is an effect monster. Both are using a different star system, and both have unique requirements to use them, though they're usually worth bringing out to the field. Xyz monsters are fairly new, which require certain level monsters in order to bring out, in which the sacrificed monsters become units. Think of the units as a dollar you can use to buy a candy, or candies if the monster have different effects."

"Wouldn't that mean that, once I run out of units that I can't buy anymore candy, I mean use its effect?"

"For the most part, though some Xyz monsters have effects that are permanent." Stocking nodded, looking past Brief's head and noticed all of the various Yu-Gi-Oh card sets that were behind the counter. Small boxes, large ones with anime characters on it, and several loose packs were the things she easily spotted, though she wondered what the metal tins were all about. For her part, she was able to keep herself calm and acted as if she wasn't curious, since she didn't want to invest into something she'd only come into contact with once.

"So, I take it you know how to bring these cards out?" Once Brief nodded, she pointed to his deck. "Show me then."

"Its not that easy." Brief replied, and took a note out of her book and pointed at Darkness Neosphere. "The best way to show you is by having a match against you, and you need to make a deck first before we can play." She pointed at one of the boxes on the shelf behind the counter, causing him to turn and sigh. "That's an okay choice, only because its a starter deck, which is good since you're playing for the first time, but those decks are only purchased for novice players or for particular cards. That one in particular is purchased for Number 39: Utopia, a Xyz monster that has a defensive ability yet a good attack base."

"Geek Boy," Stocking glared at him, "I trust you, okay?" She couldn't believe she said those words. Why, oh why would she say something so, she didn't know, ROMANTIC to him? It was completely not her style to say such things! Then again, she didn't want to hear him compare and talk about the decks on the shelves. She wanted to get one, see what his cards could do, and MAYBE, just maybe accept the fact that Brief was simply allowing himself to have a bit of a childhood with these cards. He nodded and bought the deck for her, a kind gesture indeed, and told her to read the mini rulebook it came with as he used the bathroom. The term "mini" suited the book perfectly, as it was only sixteen tiny pages with little words and blown up images that showed various steps as to how to activate certain cards, how to start a draw phase, and other steps.

After looking through the rule book, she examined her cards and looked at Darkness Neosphere, reading its effects rather than focusing on its contradicting image that made her head hurt. She noticed that the deck Brief bought was mostly a warrior deck, leaving her no room to add Darkness Neosphere without it being a liability than a useful addition. It wasn't long before Brief came out of the bathroom and told her to put her Xyz monsters to the side, as they weren't to be shuffled into the main deck. She then shuffled her deck, like he did, except she found it harder to separate all of the cards than he could. Was it possibly due to his cards being in card sleeves? Once they stopped shuffling, he allowed her to go first, and pulled out a calculator to keep track of both of their life points.

Much to her surprise, she lost. BADLY.

She hadn't lost so badly for years, the only time being when she and Panty were little girls and Panty got to lick the batter off of the spoon from one of mother's famous cakes. He took her out swiftly, using his deck to bring out either a Xyz monster, such as Number 17: Leviathan Dragon, or a white card that was known as a synchro monster. She figured her loss was a fluke, as Geek Boy couldn't of made something so great, and asked for another match, all of which he was happy to provide.

She lost again, and she could of sworn the match was much shorter than the first game. She even brought out a Cyber Dragon on her first turn thanks to Brief having the Xyz monster Grenosaurus out! Only, when she attacked, he used a trap card she didn't recognize, destroying her attacking monster, and left her defenseless next turn, which Brief took full advantage of. Angered at what had happened, she asked for another game, only to get a similar result, even if she did last a bit longer, but it got her thinking. Was she lasting longer because she was getting better, or was it because he, Geek Boy, was HOLDING BACK?

Anarchy Stocking was not a little girl. She also wasn't one to accept anyone's pity. It was one of the most insulting things anyone could do to her.

"Brief, how much do those packs, starter decks, and tins cost?" She asked with a smile on her face, hiding the killer intent she felt at that moment. When he told her the prices, her grin grew much, much larger.

She would TRIUMPH over Geek Boy, and would make him eat the very dirt she stepped on.

-Author Note-

Hiya one and all! This is the second to my P&S crossover stories, a Yu-Gi-Oh series story! Not many things would be brought in from the anime/manga series though, as it would be based off the cards, maybe some magical who-ha, and duels between many characters, Oc and main cast of P&S. I have plenty more crossover ideas in my mind, so don't be surprised if you see a horde of them infecting the crossover section within a few days.

Again, like with my P&S/Evangelion story, I'll continue writing this up to a certain point, and, depending what you readers think of it, will determine if I keep it as a main project, stop writing it at once, or end it with a cliche ending and leave it alone. Your opinions count readers! So continue reading, review, and go on and make some stories for others to read!

Until next time!
