Seto walked into the shop with a silver suitcase, walking right past everyone and going straight to Yugi's grandpa. the way he shoved everyone out of the way, i could tell he's one mean ass.
"hey! what's your problem?" i asked him, since he was really close to me now.
no response, but i could hear his breathing becoming uneven.
"what are you doing here, Kaiba?" Joey asked him, trying to get his attention.
"not that it's any of your business, but i'm here to trade." he finally replied, but in a very arrogant tone.
"you play, too? cool, maybe we could duel sometime!" Joey suggested eagerly.
"me? duel you? i'd have a bigger challenge playing solitaire." he said so snob like. okay, now i'm starting to hate him.
"i'm the #1 duelist in the country and the favorite to win the Duel Monsters Championship. you wouldn't last 2 minutes in a duel with me."
"alright mister cocky, maybe you'd like to settle with fists instead of cards!" Joey said, clenching his fists, getting near Seto's face.
Yugi ran in between them both, throwing his hands in the air, trying to make peace. a smirk played on Seto's face, then his eyes wondered around until he met mine. his little smile dropped a little, staring at me. arrogant or not, i have to admit this boy is hot. but there was something in the way he stared at me, his eyes softened and his expression calmed, it's like he was trying to pull me in. then Yugi's voice broke the trance i was in.
"calm down Joey!" Yugi shouted.
"but, Yugi, Kaiba's asking for it!" Joey said, giving Seto such a death glare.
"alright, enough! does this shop have any worth while cards or not?" Seto said, then his eyes fell on the dragon card that was in my hands. he tried to pull it out of my grip but failed miserably.
"the blue eyes white dragon in a dump like this?!"
"no manners for the spoiled kid, huh?" i asked.
again, no response. i handed the card back to Grandpa and he put it away. Seto growled when i did that and pushed me away from the front counter, setting down his brief case. Grandpa yelped a little, he thought he would hurt him, but he just opened it up showing so many cards.
"listen old man, give me your blue eyes and i'll give you all of this." he said in a aggravated tone.
everyone oh-ed and aw-ed at the cards in Kaiba's suitcase, i guess they were really good cards. Grandpa just smiled at him and said,
"thanks but no thanks."
everyone gasped in shock a little but i didn't. he's a businessman with that kind of attitude? no wonder he doesn't do business often.
"fine if you won't trade, then name your price i can pay anything you ask!" he asked almost pleading like.
"i'm sure you could, but his card means more to me than you can ever offer. not because of what card it is, but what it represents. this card was given to me by a dear friend. and i treasure this card as much as i treasure parting with it is simply out of the question."
i smiled, no wonder he didn't want to give it up, heck, i wouldn't give it up either. but judging by the look on Kaiba's face, he didn't like that answer.
"fine, I've heard enough! but i'll get it either way!" he yelled while he left the shop, slamming the door. ugh! he's so infuriating! how can someone so hot be so selfish and cruel?!
since i had no way of getting back home, Yugi let me stay at his house with him and his grandpa, he's so sweet. but since i had to go to that school now i had to wear those ugly uniforms, man i hate pink. i got a good night sleep, since i hardly didn't get any from being dragged here. school basically dragged on, but Yugi did teach me a little about the game. it's so fun, now i want a deck of my own! after school all of us went to the game shop, Yugi was gonna help me and Joey start forming our decks. we walked into the store, he wasn't there, didn't answer when we shouted out for him. then the strangest thing happened, the phone rang, and since i was the closest, i answered.
"Game Shop?"
"your voice is so beautiful, even through the phone, Selena."
i knew that voice, it was Kaiba. i almost dropped the phone since it was his first time talking to me.
"where's Yugi's Grandpa, Seto?" i asked.
everyone gasped when i said that, and moved closer to me.
"he's visiting me, but not feeling so well. why not come and get him? i want to see you again, Selena. and i love the way you say my name."
that's all he said and then he hung up before i could tell him off. it was easy finding Kaiba Corp. since it wasn't that long of a drive. we all ran in, jumping on the elevator, trying to find him. top floor, the door opens, revealing Grandpa on the floor. Yugi ran to his side and so did i, how could Seto stoop so low? harming Yugi's Grandpa just to get one stupid card?!
"are you okay, Mr. Moto?" i asked
"Yugi, Selena, i failed, i wanted to teach Kaiba about the heart of the cards, but i failed." he said, i could hear the pain in his voice. grabbing his arm, i tried to help him up, but he stumbled back to the floor.
"i was about to worry you wouldn't show up, tell me how is he doing?"
i looked up to see him, a smug look of victory on his face. i got up and walked towards him, letting him see the anger and disappointment in my face.
"what did you do to him?" i asked, getting closer to him. it was taking so much strength not to kill him.
"we just dueled, that's all. each of us put up our must valuable cards as the prize. i guess playing against me was just to much for the old fool."
"you should be ashamed of yourself, Kaiba!" Tea shouted from behind me.
"hey, it was look at the sweet prize i won."
he held up the dragon card in his hands and tore it in half. i gasped, why go through all that trouble to get a card and then just tear it apart?!
"why did you do that?"
"this card maybe rare and powerful, but at least his one will never be used against me."
that did it, i ran to him and lunged at him. but instead of me, clawing at him and punching him, he grabbed both my wrists just holding me. i fought, but his grip was too powerful, i couldn't break free. he smirked, pulling me closer, our faces inches apart now.
"a little eager aren't we?" he whispered.
"hey, let her go, Kaiba!"
Yugi yelled, holding cards in his hand. he let me go alright, right into one of his men.
"i'll let you take her, if you beat me at a duel."
"take him , Yugi! and we'll get your grandpa to the hospital!" Joey shouted.
then came one of those weird times for me again. i felt my body change a little, like another presence was taking over me. while Seto lead us to another room, i kicked and tried to free myself from the goon, but he didn't even budge. i wanted to be near Yugi now, to cheer for him, to make sure he was okay and that he beat Kaiba.
the arena was huge, i thought it was just a card game until i saw this.
"let's duel, Kaiba!" i heard a voice, but it wasn't Yugi's. i looked around to see where it was coming from, but when i saw Yugi it shocked me. he looked so different, a little taller, his eyes more focused and serious, and looked older.
"come on Yugi, win this." i said, but that wasn't my voice. i went from sounding like a teen to sounding like Angelina Jolie.
"whoa, what's up with your voice, Selena?" i heard Joey say next to me.
"same thing that happened with Yugi's i guess." i said.
"yeah, his Millenium Puzzle does some weird things to him. AAAHHH!"
he shouted, i looked out on the arena, there was a monster from one of the cards. Yugi called another monster on the field, a blue dragon, which attacked Seto's giant. his life points went down by 200. then i heard a small voice from the other side where Seto was.
"big brother! are you okay?"
i saw a small boy around maybe eleven or twelve, unruly long black hair and a stripped shirt. with Kaiba bringing out a very creepy looking clown, it destroyed Yugi's dragon. and he destroyed another in defense mode, not looking so well for Yugi.
"you're not doing any better than the old man, Yugi." Seto taunted.
"at least i believe in the heart of the cards, i doubt you have that much faith in your cards."
pulling out Gaia the fierce knight, he destroyed the clown. but then came a card none of us saw coming.
"here's the blue eyes white dragon!"
"that's impossible!" i yelled.
"did you think that your grandfather was the only one with a blue eyes?"
the attack from the dragon killed Gaia and his life points were dropping.
" and lets raise that stakes a little? how will Selena go back home with 2 blue eyes in my deck?"
out popped another dragon, leaving Yugi speechless. and bringing out three dragons, now that's just showing off.
"don't let him get to you Yugi, you can win!" Joey yelled.
the next card Yugi draws decides the fate of the match.
"have faith in him Selena." i heard that voice in my head, the same voice i talk with now. i guess the spirit in my Millenium band knows better than i do, and i share that connection with Yugi. then came something, EXODIA! destroying the dragons on the field, Yugi won!
"no way! my brother never loses!" said the little boy.
"how could i have lost?!" Seto shouted.
"open your mind, Kaiba, see what the heart of the cards mean." Yugi said.
Seto fell to his knees, then waved to the man to let me go. i saw Yugi slowly return to normal and so did i as we left to the hospital, leaving Kaiba and his brother in the arena.
