Author's Note: This is one of my "sketchy idea and run with it" stories. Most times, those end up being my best. And, be forewarned. The couplings for this story are already set as far as Hino Rei, Kaiba Seto, Kino Makoto, and Ishtal Malik go… yes, this is a REI X SETO and MAKOTO X MALIK fic. No flames, onegai? . Arigato, minna-san!
Oh, yeah! Almost forgot! I will be using both Japanese and American influences from both shows. Just thought I'd warn you all. . Arigato!

Chapter 7
He snarled from where he watched his so-called friends gather, the tournament raging below. "Aibou… Come to me…"
The smaller form of himself appeared, kneeling before him. "Hai, Pharaoh?"
"I have a mission for you…" He motioned to the street below. "Kaiba has arranged this tournament to challenge me… His ancient memories urge him to do battle with me once again… I will not have him getting in my way as he did in the past…"
"And what of Malik? And Jounouchi and the others?" The child like slave asked, his void eyes glancing at the figure in front of him.
His lips curled into an evil little smile. "Kill them all… They have no use to us anymore, little Aibou…" The sounds of a duel from below caught his ears. He smirked at the sight of Kaiba and his partner as they engaged in their first duel. "Oh, and Aibou…" The boy stopped, turning to face the figure once more. "Kaiba's cousin and her friend…"
"Hai, sire?"
"I sense something about them… They may be more trouble then we want… Keep an eye on them… Especially Kaiba's partner, Hino Rei…" He smirked as the small boy left, crossing his arms over his chest. "Soon… This world will be my kingdom once more…"
Rei growled at her opponent, slapping a card onto the disk. "I play Mirror Wall, protecting my partner's monster from harm!"
"Damn you!" The girl opposite her cursed.
"And I summon Lord of D. and Mystical Elf to the field."
"Because of Lord of D.'s special effect, I call my Kitsumori Dragon to the field and his slaves, Aiko the Elf and Elana the Amazon as well!" Rei grinned, playing her best monsters right off Kaiba's hand.
The other girl across from Kaiba hissed. "How can you call Aiko and Elana! They're not even Dragons!"
Kaiba grinned, knowing the answer just as well as Rei. "Kitsumori Dragon automatically calls them to the field the moment he is on the field. That's how. It's a special effect."
Rei nodded. "No brainer, ne?" She grinned. She finally knew why Kaiba enjoyed playing with his opponent's minds. It made them buckle under pressure and it was fun as heck to see their reactions.
"How dare you make fools of us!" Rei's opponent hissed.
Rei rolled her eyes. "Just shut up and move!" She growled. Kaiba shook his head, each of the two girls placing a monster in defense mode to try and shield themselves. "That won't save you!"
"I agree, Kaiba-kun! I call upon the powers of the Mystical Elf to boost the powers of my Kitsumori Dragon! Elana, Aiko! Attack their monsters!"
"And I call Saagi the Dark Clown to the field to use for a summoning along with Lord of D. and Mystical Elf to call my great white beast to the field! Blue Eyes! AWAKEN!" Kaiba slapped the beloved card onto the disk, the elegant dragon taking shape of the field.
"Elana! Aiko! Give your powers to our great dragons!"
"ATTACK THEIR LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!" Kaiba and Rei chorused, the monsters roaring as they leashed their powers on the two girls. Rei jumped, pumping her hand into the air as she cheered, holding up the victory sign with her right hand. "Team 001 rocks the house! YEAH!"
Kaiba raised an eyebrow at her as the two duelists slunk off in embarrassment. "What did you put in your coffee this morning?"
Rei grinned. "Oh, com'on, Seto-chan! It's our first victory! Be happy!"
"I'll be happy when we win the finals…" He hissed, heading off down the street. Rei growled, following him.
"It's the small victories that win you the war, you know!"
"Whatever…" He murmured, ignoring her. Rei hissed, stamping her foot down.
"What crawled up your fucking ass lately!" She yelled at him, causing him to stop and look back at her. "Ever since Makoto chose Malik over being your cousin you've had the worlds largest stick up your ass!"
He hissed. It wasn't the first time that someone had told him such things. He should have been used to it… But… Why did it hurt coming from her? He wondered, trying to keep his hard, stoic mask on. "Look, if you don't like it, then I'll find another teammate."
"Another teammate! HA! Kaiba, that's the point… NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO BE YOUR TEAMMATE!" She hissed, her eyes flaring at him as she turned. "I'll be at the mansion when you decide to fucking grow up and not act like the entire world revolves around you!"
Her words hit him hard. But, what hit him even harder was the hate she saw for him in her eyes. Had he really been that selfish? Was he really that bad? He growled, mentally degrading himself. 'She's just a girl… Why does what she say, what she thinks about me matter so god damn much?' He thought, closing his eyes. It was then that he remembered what had happened at the cemetery a few days before hand. She had told him of how she lost her mother the same way he had lost his.
"Okaa-sama
was just like your mother… She was very weak… But, Papa didn't
care…" She refused to show him her tears. He knew that Rei crying
happened about as much as it did for him. The tears were few and they
were seen as weakness. "Rei-sama…" "Because of
me… Okaa-sama's dead…" She murmured, shuddering. "When I
was old enough, Papa sent me to that god awful temple… Yes, I met a
lot of people there and I was well taken care of… But, it wasn't
the same… The kids at the private school Papa sent me to… They'd
make fun of me… Because my own Otou-kun didn't want me…" He
hugged her close, not knowing what to say or do to comfort her.
"Rei-sama… You couldn't have helped what happened to your
mother…" He whispered, hugging her still. "No one could
have…" "If that's so then how come she's not here
anymore! Why is it that everyone but the few friends I do have run
from me! Why do they leave me the way Okaa-sama did? Why, Seto-kun,
why!"
"Rei-sama…" He whispered, looking up at where she had once stood. He took off after her, running fast, dodging in and out of the crowd. He knew she couldn't have gotten too far. It was then, though, that something landed in front of him. He skidded to a stop, staring at the misshapen Celtic Guardian that stood in his path. 'Great… A challenge and Rei's no where to help me…'
It was then that the monster shoved him, grasping onto his neck. He gasped, eyes wide with shock. How in the hell could a hologram touch people! "Look you freak! Get off of me!"
He tried to shove the monster back, but it was in vain. He winced, moving slowly from where he landed on the ground once more, the monster latching his hand around Kaiba's neck again. Suddenly, he felt utterly weak, a strong blue aura of energy being pulled from him.
"YOUMA!" The crowd that had gathered screamed, scattering fast as it reached out, drawing energies from other people. Kaiba growled, trying to get away from the hand, his vision blurring.
It was then that a hot flash of light struck the monster, knocking it back away from the dragon master. "How dare you attack innocent people!" Called a shadowed figure from atop a near by car. "I will not stand for such injustice!" She took to the air, kicking the monster square in the chest and as far away from Kaiba as she could. Pushing all of her weight into her legs, she bounded towards it, flipping up and over it's shoulders before throwing it over her own. She hissed when it rebounded, taking a stance.
She posed, holding her hand in the air. "Akuryou! TAISAN!" Kaiba watched in surprise as a beam of flames shot from the girl's hands, hitting the youma straight on. She cursed as it disappeared before her attack had a chance to make full impact.
A familiar voice to Kaiba's ears filled the air, laughing cruelly. "Motou… SHOW YOURSELF!" He hissed, weakly bringing himself to a kneeling position.
The shadowed form of his greatest foe, Motou Yuugi, appeared in the middle of the street, smirking coldly at them. "This isn't your affair, girl…" He ignored Kaiba, focusing his attention on the ebony haired, red and purple sailor suited warrior.
"You've attacked an innocent person! When those are the circumstances, then it has become my affair! I cannot stand for this! Return the energies you have stolen! Or, I, Sailor Mars, warrior of passion and flames, will destroy you!" She posed, her eyes set hotly on her enemy.
He laughed at her, flicking the small crystal ball of energy around in hands. "A girl in spikes and a mini skirt? Destroy me? HA!"
"Then why not two!" A second femme voice called, a bolt of lighting striking the crystal ball from Yuugi's hand. "Mars! Grab it!"
The ebony haired senshi dove for it, catching it moments before it hit the ground, the other femme charging at the darkened form of Yuugi. "Arigato, kami-sama…" She whispered, standing. "Jupiter, forget him!" She called to the green suited warrior. "We have the energy back…"
Yuugi growled, clutching his cape. "I'll get you for this…" he muttered, disappearing into the shadows.
"Sailor Mars… the energy ball…"
"Is safe…" The ebony haired stated, smiling at the brunette. The strange crystal began to glow in her hands, the small particles of energy flowing back to whence they came. Kaiba hissed in pain as his energy returned to him. But, as he stood to look for the two so-called Sailor Senshi, they were gone.
He hissed, throwing the empty crystal to the ground. He turned his eyes towards the mirror, looking at the two sailor suited figures in it. "So… You've come to stop me…" he grinned. "That means the other legendary Senshi are out there as well… interesting… Aibou! Come to me…" He smirked, looking down at Domino through his window. "We have a new plan of action…"
1.) This is the ever-infamous "V" symbol that the Sailor Senshi are known for giving. It stands for victory, not peace.
