The vast space of the dueling arena made the rest of Kaibaland look puny in comparison. Tristen and the rest were watching from the sidelines of the arena when Tristen asked Tea, "Tea, do you think Yugi is okay? He looks rather shut out from everything up there."
Tea glanced at Yugi, who did look off, in every way possible; his stance, which he was tightly hugging himself, knees slightly together. His expression, showing subtle contempt at the corners of his mouth, and then the way his cards were scattered on the dueling surface in front of him.
"I'm not quite sure myself, Tristen. I don't know why Yugi would still be holding on to that rematch with Kiaba; well, at least re-matching in a revengeful manner."
With strength and confidence, Kaiba approached the dueling field, fists by his sides. As he was walking up the staircase to get to the mechanical riser, he thought to himself, "There's something very off and different about Yugi, but I'm just not sure what."
When Kiaba had reached the top of the dueling arena, he took a hard gaze at Yugi's face. Their eyes had met, with Yugi's subtle contempt now showing fully on his face.
*Contempt. Why contempt? Why does he want to duel with contempt, and revenge?*
"Kiaba! I want to make a deal with you!"
Kiaba twitched, feeling the tensity in the air. "...A deal? What kind of deal?" Yugi's contempt turned into a concealed smirk, letting go of hugging himself.
"This is the deal. For making Yugi feel horrible and cry that day you dueled him, I will show no mercy. So, if I win the duel, you will give me your most prized card, the blue eyes white dragon- and not just one of them, but all of them that you possess! If you win, you are allowed to take one of the many cards that I own. Do you accept this deal?" All of Yugi's friends were shocked of the deal Yugi offered, everyone but Kiaba.
"Yugi, why would you make such an offer?" said Joey very seriously.
Yugi completely ignored Joey. "And come on! Why would Kiaba even think about giving up his blue eyed white drag-"
"I accept your deal, Yugi Moto." Said Kaiba to Yugi. Everyone gasped, and Yugi's concealed smirk turned into a scornful smile.
"Perfect. I'm glad you accepted my deal. There's no turning back now, Seto Kiaba. Now let's duel! Start the clock," Yugi placed all his cards down in a stack, "and make your move!"
"With honor!" shouted Kiaba as he shuffled his cards then put them on the surface in front of him.
The duel started with Yugi, since he was the challenger. Pulling out 5 cards from the deck, he placed both of his cards face down. Out of the 5 cards Kiaba pulled from his deck, he placed a trap card face down, and picked the Sorcerer's Servant, putting him into attack mode on Yugi's card that face down on the left. The Sorcerer's Servant's attack points were much more than average, but its defense points were weak.
"Now Sorcerer's Servant- attack the card face down to the left!"
"Sorry, Kiaba, but you've just activated my attack card, The Puppet Master!"
