Short summary: Yugi and the rest are invited to Pegasus's castle where they await an explanation of why Pegasus invited them. Things to note are: Yami and Yugi inhabit two different bodies and are together (I guess there's a lime scene in this chapter, but nothing detailed) and there are two OCs in this story, but ultimately neither with end up with the characters for good. Oh yeah, Kaiba in this story is somewhat of a player.

Quietly she gazed around the room, admiring the high-class décor of her surroundings, trying to ignore the stares of the other guests as they waited for their host to make an announcement.

While they waited for their host to make an appearance, a tall teen boy with brown hair, who sat at her right, whispered to her.

"So, what is a striking beauty like you doing in a place like this? Your beauty makes this place look third class; maybe you'll let me the pleasure of escorting you to a more appropriate abode." The boy spoke, smoothly seductive.

"First of all, I don't go anywhere with those who haven't properly introduced themselves, and second, I am enjoying my surroundings just fine—except for you that is. So if you don't mind, I'd rather you stop speaking—it makes you sound stupid." She retorted, in a sweet sounding, but to the point, voice.

"Well maybe I was a bit out of line," The boy began a tad red from embarrassment that his pick up line hadn't worked. "Let me start again by introducing myself. I'm Seto Kaiba, president of Kaiba Corp. and you are?"

"Madrithe, Madrithe Lyan. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kaiba." Madrithe replied and then was interrupted by Kaiba.

"Call me Seto." Kaiba smiled a seductive, cunning smile.

"If you so desire me to, I shall, but I doubt I will ever speak to you again." Madrithe replied turning away from Kaiba's shocked expression.

A few seconds later their host arrived, apologizing for the short delay of his arrival.

"Yeah, yeah, you senile old fake, get it over with." Kaiba muttered just loud enough for Madrithe to hear as he glared at Pegasus, their host, a look of cold fury on his face. "Can you believe that this ol' geezer invited us here for no reason, and then arrives late—bet he's just trying to show off. Stupid, senile old bast—" Kaiba quietly seethed.

"Hem, hem." Madrithe interrupted, "I'd prefer you to hold your tongue, it's bad manners to insult your host with such language."

"Heh, what should you care what I say about that bastard? It's not like I wanted to be here."

"Then you shouldn't have come, and you're still welcome to leave if you so wish."

"No, I rather bask in the aura of your radiating beauty." Kaiba whispered.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Kaiba, but I happen to be engaged, to that 'ol geezer.'" Madrithe seethed, ignoring Kaiba's shocked and appalled expression. Standing up, she walked up to Pegasus looping her arm around his.

"Madrithe, dear, how nice of you to join me." Pegasus spoke, "I guess I should introduce you to our guests. I wasn't planning on informing all of you until afterwards—but, this is my fiancée Madrithe Lyan." Pegasus introduced her, and then quietly whispered so only Madrithe could hear. "I thought I told you to remain seated until after the meal. We agreed that you wouldn't interrupt me during my speech."

"Well, sorry, but I just got annoyed with the guy sitting next to me trying to flirt with me." Madrithe retorted, "If you need me, I'll be in my room." Madrithe calmly left the room, sealing her annoyance with a stoic mask.

Later that night:

"Jei? What are you doing?" A brown-haired girl asked the reddish-brown haired girl who was busy repacking her suitcase. "We only just got here this morning, you want to leave already? But you were ecstatic at your invitation…."

"Anzu, please, I just don't feel like staying any longer." Jei replied, holding back the tears that threatened to form in her eyes.

"Jei, what's wrong? There's something upsetting you isn't there? I can tell…."

"Please, just drop it, Anzu, I've just realized I shouldn't've come, it's foolish for me to have come."

"But why…Jei, if it's because of Kaiba's remarks, I…."

"It's not that." Jei replied, "I just don't want to stay, okay?"

"But…Jei…."

"Just forget it, Anzu."

"At least wait until morning, it's too late to travel anywhere right now."

"Fine, but tomorrow I leave."

"…."

Elsewhere:

"I can't believe Pegasus invited us here." Yugi spoke, glancing at Yami to see his reaction. "Do you think it's to apologize for what he did?"

"I don't know; it might've been just to show off his new fiancée, who knows. I'm just annoyed we have different rooms, and they're in two different halls." Yami spoke, drumming his fingers on the desk.

"You don't have to sleep in your room you know. You could stay here with me, and…."

"And if there were locks on the doors we could get physical, but there are no locks—anyone could walk in and interrupt. I don't think you want that much publicity for our intimate affairs." Yami spoke, leaning down to Yugi's ear. "Or do you?" Yami whispered seductively, blowing on, and then nibbling on Yugi's ear.

"Yami…ah…please…."

"Please what? Do you want this?" Yami asked, bringing his lips to Yugi's, "Or do you want more?" He added moving his hand under Yugi's shirt, pushing him down on the bed.

"Yami, please…." Yugi gasped, his breath becoming quicker in anticipation of what was to come next.

"Um…You're enjoying this, yes? Want me to go further?" Yami spoke, teasingly, his hand moving down to Yugi's pants.

"Well, I never expected this." A voice spoke from the doorway, "Oh, don't stop on my account, I'll just be leaving now." Kaiba spoke, smirking at seeing Yugi and Yami blushing.

"What do you want, Kaiba?" Yami asked annoyed at the interruption.

"I just wanted to see if you'd be in the mood for a duel, but I see you've already started your own 'duel.' I'll just be leaving now; maybe I'll find something to occupy my time." With that response Kaiba left.

After the door shut Yami stood up and walked toward the door.

"Yami?"

"I'll make sure we're not interrupted." Yami replied using a chair to keep the door shut. Then he returned to Yugi lying on the bed. "Now where were we? Ah, yes, you want more, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Heh, heh."

Meanwhile:

"Madrithe, please just settle down for a moment."

"I won't settle down, I can't believe you just expected me to keep still and quiet while one of your vulgar guests tried to flirt with me. He was practically undressing me with his eyes. I can't believe you'll let such filth in this house, and expect me to remain quiet about it!"

"Madrithe…."

"I can't believe this, not only did you invite such trash, but you failed to mention they'd be staying for over a week!" Madrithe seethed, "I demand you send them away immediately."

"I will do no such thing, I have invited them for a week, and I will not send them away before then." Pegasus replied to an indignant Madrithe. Before he could finish Madrithe slapped him hard across the face, a gleam of fury in her eyes.

"Don't you dare disobey. You will send them away in the morning; I'm your fiancée so you better listen to me."

"Yeah, you're my fiancée, all right, but you're not my wife yet, so you have no say in who I invite to my property, nor in how long they can stay. End of discussion."

"Why you…don't you dare walk away from me!" Madrithe seethed as Pegasus turned to exit the room. "I'm your fiancée, which is almost as good as wife, and so you should listen to what I say!"

"You're not my wife yet, so I advise you to stay out of my business. I could easily call the wedding off you know." Pegasus snapped back at her, his hand trembling from rage.

"And so could I." Madrithe retorted, taking off her engagement ring and flinging it at Pegasus. "We're through, the wedding's off."

"But Madrithe…I…."

"I'll be in my chambers, either your guests leave tomorrow or I do. Your choice." With that Madrithe left Pegasus standing dumbfounded in the middle of the room.
