Check Mate

by Katerina.Nolan21

Unlike most stories Kaiba won't become a mushy gushy blob, no OOC here... He met her at the ultimate tournament, and she has something he wants. Problem is, she's just as stubborn and cold as Kaiba himself. After 24 years of living he's finally found a worthy opponent, and this is one game he doesn't plan on losing, and neither does she. Who will get to call "Check Mate"

"Mr. Kaiba, here's your mail," announced the secretary as she places a stack of mail on the metal desk before hurrying out of the office.

The cold hearted CEO looked up from his laptop and grabbed the mail. As he was looking through the mail he noticed an invitation from Industrial Illusions was in the pile. Opening up the envelope an read its contents,

"Hello" A woman greeted through the speaker, "I'm sure you've already heard about the new tournament, I am, its Official Commissioner. Mr. Pegasus hopes you will attend his tournament and asks that you know that unlike his last tournament there will be no scheming or trickery towards you or your family. It will be an honest and fair competition with the sole purpose of passing on the company to a rightful gamer that will honor the company. Thank-you for your time." The line went dead.
