There was going to be another tournament, the obvious host being Kaiba, again. Duelists everywhere heard the news. They started messing with their decks. Half of them probably made their decks worse. Oh well.

3 months later...

Duelists were buzzing around the area where the tournament would take place like flies, and were about as numerous as them. It was extremely crowded. Yugi and his friends were there. Rex and Weevil were wandering around. Even Marik and Ishizu were there, but more for fun than anything this time. In fact, every duelist that was coming was there, except for three- and at this moment, their plane was just coming in at the airport. When it landed, they rushed off to the tournament. Two were worried they were going to miss the tournament. The third knew he'd be there in time. He was also aware that there was no doubt that he'd make it to the finals. The other two were just hoping to do well. They arrived at the tournament just in time, for it was just starting when they were just finished getting their papers sorted out. Kaiba announced the beginning of the tournament, and it got underway.

A girl with short, dark brown hair with blue eyes, wearing a teal halter top, a magenta skirt, and hot pink arm socks, with a slighly dark skin color stood with her brother, and they were watching Marik's first match. She seemed excited.

" I can't wait for my first match" she told her brother.

" Your probably going to face a duelist that isn't even a bit decent" her brother told her. Her brother was tall, slightly dark skinned like his sister, had green eyes and dark brown hair that pressed flat to his face. He wore a long sleeved light grey shirt, with a green vest over it, and jeans, looking slightly more normal than his sister.

" Not every duelist here can be that bad, Seth. Be positive" the girl said.

" your hopes in these duelists are too high, Nona" Seth replied. Rex and Weevil were nearby. Rex was looking around, at the other duelists, sort of trying to determine how good they were, when he spotted Nona. He did the first thing he thought of, and whistled at her. Nona whirled around, and went over to them, punched Rex in the face, and went back to where she was standing beside her brother.

" I still cannot fathom why you would want to take part in a tournament like this" Seth said. Nona turned and faced him.

" There are a lot of good duelists here, like Marik, and Yugi Mouto and Seto Kaiba. I might actually get to see Kaiba duel" Nona said, with stars in her eyes.

" Only if you get to the finals, and with duelists like these around here, that shouldn't be all that hard" Seth said.

" Oh, your just cranky about how much the plane tickets cost to fly here" Nona told him.

" Yes, and I wish we, or at least myself, were back in Egypt" Seth replied.

" I wasn't missing out on a chance to see Kaiba duel!" Nona retorted.

" But why did you have to drag me along? There is no chance you would win" Seth hissed.

" Because your a good duelist too" Nona said. Seth grumbled to himself about how much happier he'd be if he were at home in Egypt. Nona drifted away from him, to watch another duel.

Hours later, both Nona and Seth had made it past their first duels, both winning by landslides.

" This is good publicity for Egypt too, Seth" Nona said.

" Marik could do a good enough job by himself" Seth hissed. They checked into a hotel.

The next day, Nona bounded out of the hotel earlier than most duelists. She had left Seth figuring out strageties with his deck, so he wouldn't have to reveal the real strength of it until much later. Nona was walking around, excited, when she bumped into Joey.

" Oh, hey, your Joey Wheeler" Nona said, now even more excited. Joey grinned.

" Yeah" he said. Nona pulled out a book and a pen.

" Could I have your autograph?" Nona asked. Joey took the book, opened it and signed it.

" Why did you want Joey's autograph?" Tea asked.

" I heard about him, and figured while I was here I should get his too, since I'm from Egypt" Nona explained. Then she spotted Yugi.

" Can I have your autograph?!" Nona asked. Yugi took the book, and signed it. Nona took the book and pen back.

" I'm Nona" Nona said, introducing herself. Yugi and the gang finished introducing themselves. Nona grinned.

" Nice to meet ya" she said.

" So, did you just come here to collect autographs or what?" Joey asked. Nona laughed.

" Oh, no. I came here to duel" she said.

" You any good?" Tristan asked.

" Of course" Nona replied.

" Egypt's got some of the best duelists" Yugi said. " I mean, look at Marik" he added. Nona nodded.

" I'm so excited about this tournament" Nona said.

" Why? It's just a tournament" Joey said.

" Well, I'm hoping on making it into the finals" Nona replied. Joey snorted and got elbowed by Tea.

" I'm sure you'll make it" Tea said.

" Thanks" Nona answered. Yugi and his friends wandered around, along with Nona. Later, when all the other duelists were up and outside, Kaiba signaled the start of the second day of the tournament. Joey grumbled about Kaiba. Seth, who had somehow managed to find them, agreed openly with Joey. Nona disagreed. So, they all got into an argument. After their argument, they all went seperate ways to duels. Everyone won. Nona had dueled Rex, so she had had a lot of fun there. Once they found each other again, Nona invited everyone back to her and Seth's hotel room. They all accepted. Nona led the way, with a cranky Seth behind everyone. Once they were in the hotel room, everyone sat down somewhere. Nona sat on her bed, Yugi pulled up a chair, Tea sat on the floor, and Tristan and Joey sat on either side of Nona. Seth flopped face down on his bed. Joey smoothly put his arm around Nona, and then she pushed him off the bed, giving Tristan a Look that told him not to do what Joey did. Everyone just talked for a while, except Seth, who just laid face down on his bed. Yugi and the gang left after a while, and Nona and Seth went to bed.

Nona, Seth, Yugi and the gang had lots of days like that, until the day they found out who had made it to the finals. The finalists were Joey, Yugi, Kaiba, Marik, Nona, and the last duelist to have arrived, whose name was apparently Tom. Seth had gotten beaten by Marik, a few duels earlier.

" Woohoo, I'm in the finals!" Nona exclaimed, excited. Joey rolled his eyes.

" Yeah, how great" he said sarcasticly. Nona scowled at him.

" Hey, is it just me, or does she have a scowl to match Kaiba's?" Tristan asked, and Yugi and Joey peered at her scowl.

" Heh, she does too!" Joey exclaimed. " It's just like Kaiba's!" he added. Just then, Kaiba seemingly appeared out of where (in reality he just walked up).

" What's just like mine, dog?" he asked. Joey jumped, and spun around to face Kaiba.

" Nona's scowl! It's just like yours!" Joey said. Kaiba looked past Joey to Nona's scowling face, and how much her scowl was like his kind of scared him.

" It IS just like mine" he muttered. Nona turned to Kaiba suddenly, and her eyes lit up, her scowl dropping off her face. She pulled out her autograph book and pen and thrust them into Kaiba's hands. Not sure whether to refuse, Kaiba signed the book, and gave Nona her book and pen back. He was caught completely off-guard when she hugged him. She ran one of her hands over his stomach, and then he pried her away.

" I'm sorry, I'm super sorry!" Nona exclaimed, her first thought being that Kaiba was now mad at her for hugging him.

" It's fine. No one's ever had the nerve to try that before" Kaiba said.
