Are You Jealous, Now?

Chapter 1: Setting the Score
Seto Kaiba slammed his fist on the table, ignoring the alarming rattling of the conference table, which felt like it was about to give way.
"Who does Yugi Muto think he is?"
Here, Seto Kaiba was, genius, teen billionaire at 17, CEO of KaibaCorp, the leading, technical innovator for the famed, card game Duel Monsters. And yet...
All over the media and even at his own press conference, all talk was on Yugi Muto, his arch nemesis...rival? The King of Games.
'More like The King of Ridiculous Hairdos' Kaiba sneered, then chuckled to himself. There was absolutely no comparison.
Rising to his full height at just over six feet, the brunette scoffed at Yugi Muto, sitting three chairs to his right. The 16 year old, teen with tricolored hair was being interviewed by a female reporter, who congratulated him on his continued, winning streak in the games, albeit to Kaiba's annoyance, then asked Yugi's thoughts towards the upcoming Duel Monsters Tournament.
Kaiba ignored Yugi Mutou's answers, and instead focus on Yugi himself. Cerulean blue eyes sneering once more, he watched as the short duelist, who he estimated was no more than chest level in height to the reporter if standing, blushed when she asked him about his love life. Yugi's round purple eyes twinkled, his blush deepened, and suddenly he seemed like a different person. In a blink of an eye, his purple eyes hardened, he looked slightly taller, and his tricolor hair with blonde highlights looked edgier, if that was possible.
"The other Yugi!" Kaiba noted to himself barely above a whisper. He should have known the little twit was too weak to even finish a simple interview. If he wasn't such a realist, he would have permanently banned the short teen from competing all together. What kind of honorable duelist allows a 5,000 year old spirit to win tournament matches under the pretense of his own name? It was an embarrassment to fair dueling standards.
However, as things were, he didn't have a 'right' to question things. Seto Kaiba had a company to run, and a younger brother, Mokuba Kaiba, to put through grade school and college. Being locked up in an insane asylum for ranting on about Egyptian spirits and possession was low on his to do list.
The brown haired CEO would just have to find a way to outmatch Yugi Muto, but how?
"Yugi" a feminine voice called out from a distance.
Yugi Muto stopped to turn his head, noting the most beautiful person he'd seen all day.
"Anzu" he hollered back, waving to the brunette running towards him and only him. He felt so blessed, almost unworthy of the attention, as his best female friend of 10 years stopped just short of him, bending over trying to catch her breath.
"What's wrong Yugi? Anzu finally asked tilting her head up, her ocean blue eyes meeting his own. She noticed Yugi staring, erupting another blush from him.
"Nothing" the blonde boy finally reassured, hugging his taller female companion. "I'm just glad you are here with me for this press conference."
Anzu smiled her response.
"How very interesting?" A pair of dark blue eyes noted to himself across the room.
Seto Kaiba didn't mean to eavesdrop on their intimate moment. Actually, maybe he did. With arms crossed, leaning up against one of the nearby walls, he was taking an intermittent break from the press conference when he spotted Yugi Muto alone on the other side of the press room. The CEO dressed in his classic white suit and blue tie was about to stride over, and fling a few much needed insults at his...rival? However, the sound of the brunette momentarily distracted him. When he looked over, he noticed the voice belonged to Yugi's little cheerleader, Anzu Mazaki, was it? Not that it mattered.
Anzu Mazaki was stunning with her low cut, summer blouse, brown flare skirt and mid knee boots. At 16 years old and standing about a foot taller than Yugi Muto, she put other girls her age to shame. Ample breast (Yugi noticed as evidenced by his deep blush), slender waist, and legs built for dancing. She attracted admirers near and far.
Kaiba only vaguely remembered her from all those times, when she was annoying him by cheering Yugi on during their duels. Her bitchy attitude at Duelist Kingdom also came to mind. He did admit though, if only to himself, that he did recall those captivating, blue eyes that glared at him intensely that same day, calling him out on his ruthlessness to win at any cost. She glared at him again now, noticing his unwavering stare from afar. He glared back at her thinking 'Who the hell was she to him anyways'
The press conference started again.
Kaiba was about to make an announcement, center podium. Several other famous duelist, not counting Yugi's friend Jounnochi Katsuya aka "the mutt", came on stage. Yugi brought Anzu on stage with him. Not that Kaiba cared. Some technicians secured some wobbly lights above the stage. Again, not that he cared.
The brown haired CEO began his long, rehearsed speech, when suddenly the sound of metal cracking could be heard. Seto Kaiba stopped, looked up, saw the lights wobble, and after a few questionable gasps from the audience, the metal lights came crashing down towards one paled eyed brunette.
'Crap! This was going to make for bad press'
