Chapter 7: The Tournaments Begins
Day One of Tournament
The following week went by faster than anticipated.
The many famous and experienced duelists came from across the globe in order to participate at the Battle City Tournament.
During that week, Kagome and Seto have gone on a few more dates, after they made their brothers agree to never spy on one of their dates again.
Kagome was a bit worried about how Seto would act toward her at work now that they were dating. Her worries were put to rest when Seto remained nothing but professional with his work and didn't change his attitude.
Although, every now in then, he would send a tender notion of affection toward her.
A caress of the hand.
A kiss on the cheek when he left the office.
Simple but sweet jesters that showed her he cared.
But today was the day of the tournament.
Everything that Kaiba Corp had prepared for led to this event.
'Was shutting down the city really that necessary," Kagome thought when Seto explained the rules from the control room of Kaiba Corp, which projected to his blimp that flew around the city.
According to him it was to make it easier for the duel disks to be more effective 'Still extreme.'

Ten minutes into the tournament
"How fitting that Yugi is the first duel of my tournament," stated Seto while he watched the big screen at Kaiba Corp control room. Mokuba was standing on his right side as the Battle City commissioner, and Kagome was on his left as his main informer.
"Everything seems to be running smoothly with the other duels going on. Every card that is being played will be known by us," Kagome stated.
"That'll make it easier to find the remaining two God cards," said Mokuba excited.
When the duels continued, Seto noticed something strange coming from Yugi's duel. "What information do we have on the person dueling Yugi Motto?"
Kagome checked her electrical notepad, receiving the information from the technical analyst. "It doesn't look like a lot. He didn't appear on the data base until…last week."
"That shouldn't be possible. He must have hacked the system," Seto stated unimpressed.
"That's illegal," cried Mokuba.
When Kagome looked she noticed the duelist registered name, "He calls himself the 'Rare Hunter'. Boy, that's not conspicuous," she said the last part sarcastically. "It looks like your plan to lure the Rare Hunters is working."
Seto smiled, knowing that everything was going according to plan.
They continued to watch Yugi's duel closely, and learned that the Rare Hunter had three sets of Exodia the Forbidden One.
Kagome knew the rules of what would happen if all five pieces of Exodia were drawn.
The game would be over.
Ironically, this was the same duel monster that beat Seto when he faced Yugi in their duel. It was incredibly rare to pull all the cards necessary to play that monster, let alone a few pieces. And yet, this 'Rare Hunter was doing it with ease. 'How's this guy able to draw them so easily,' Kagome wondered.
"Mr. Kaiba," one of the technical analyst grabbed their attention, "We have detected that the 'Rare Hunter' has marked his cards with invisible ink."
"That means he'll know which card he'll draw next," Mokuba stated in understanding. He was about to go and enforce his post as rule holder till Seto stopped him.
"No Mokuba," Seto stopped his brother.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't," the young Kaiba asked.
Kagome answered for him, "As much as we want to stop him, we need him to help us find what we're looking for."
Mokuba nodded at this in understanding.
They continued to watch Yugi's duel, who eventually won by defeating the one card that was supposedly unstoppable and the Rare Hunter.
"Yugi may have defeated Exodia but there is one card he'll never beat and I own it," Seto declared. He tuned and began to walk out the door, "I'm heading to Battle City."
Kagome followed closely behind him. She was supposed to accompany Seto when he decided to join the tournament, that way everything that happens at the tournament will be known immediately to him.
Including when a person summons one of those God cards.

Day Two of the Tournament
No Egyptian God had shown up on the first day of the tournament, much to Seto's disappointment. However, he was able to win all the locater cards needed for him to be in the finals.
A majority of duelists, famous or not, were already eliminated from the tournament.
Kagome was happy to see Yugi and Joey made it to the second day. 'Seto will be happy to face Yugi again. He's still doesn't take losing well,' she thought to herself.
A few hours into the day, Seto and Kagome ran into Mokuba, who was trying to stop some punk duelist from beating up another competitor and stealing their cards.
"When it comes to the rules what I say goes. Do I make myself clear," Mokuba said with authority.
The punk duelist wasn't intimidated by Mokuba's threat, "Get lost," he warned the kid.
This angered Mokuba, "If you want to stay in this tournament, you're gonna have to do as I say."
"Or what?" the punk duelist challenged.
"Or you'll have to deal with me," Seto came behind the punk duelist with Kagome by his side who was carrying a silver case for him. 'What does he got in this thing anyway?' she wondered.
The punk duelist was scarred to see Seto Kaiba right in front of him.
"Hey Seto. Hey Kagome," Mokuba happily greeted.
Kagome smiled down at him, "Hello Mokuba. I'm glad to know that you're taking your job very seriously." Mokuba saluted to her comment which made her giggle.
"When you speak to my brother that way, you dishonor me and this tournament," Seto continued to speak to the punk duelist. "Besides, I have no patients for bullies."
'Ain't that the truth,' thought Kagome, as she recalled all the times he had to deal with the bullies at the orphanage.
Seto motioned for Kagome to hand him his brief case. When she gave it to him he lowered to the ground to show the punk duelist what was inside.
It was over hundreds of rare duel monsters cards.
A small handful of these cards would have sold for thousands if given to the right bidder.
'And he had me just carrying this around in the open,' a shocked Kagome thought.
"I challenge you to a duel," Seto declared, "And you must use these cards in your deck."
Kagome finally realized what Seto was doing. He wanted to test his God card again. 'I think he's enjoying watching people squirm from the God card a little too much.'
Of course the duel against the punk duelist ended almost as soon as it started the second Seto summoned Obelisk.
The power that came off the card made Kagome's hair stand on end. 'There is powerful magic behind that card.'
"Now, let's find Yugi," Seto said as he walked away from the bully, with Kagome and Mokuba in tow. "Nobody messes with my family," he said rubbing his brother's head before wrapping his arm around Kagome.
The gesture made her smile. No matter how cold Seto seemed towards other people, he was very protective of those he cared for. 'That's why I love him,' she thought to herself.
Of course, she hasn't told him this yet.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% &%&%&
About fifteen minutes later Kagome's cellular work phone rang. "Higurashi," she answered, knowing it was about the tournament. The technical analyst informed her of some information that Seto definitely needed to know. "Seto, Yugi's duel disk signal was lost," she told him.
"What?" responded surprised and confused Seto. "Make sure the system link is still up," he told her.
"They say that the link is working just fine. But something or someone is blocking the signal."
Then Kagome got an idea. She dialed into her phone to call Tea.
"Hello," Tea answered on the second ring.
"Hey Tea, have seen Yugi recently," she asked her friend.
Tea made panicked sounds on her end of the phone, "Kagome, I don't know where he is," she said with worry. "One minute he was here at this magic show tent thing and the next he disappeared."
"Don't worry we'll find him," Kagome reassured her friend. She hung up and looked at Seto. "Tea said that Yugi disappeared in front of her eyes in some magic show tent. The only explanation I can think of is one of those Rare Hunters must have him trapped somewhere."
Seto nodded in agreement.
Someone went through a lot of trouble to get Yugi alone. 'But no one messes with my tournament,' thought Seto threateningly.
It wasn't long until the technical analyst was able to unblock the signal and find Yugi's location. Seto sent Mokuba to retrieve him, and Kagome called Tea to tell her where Yugi was.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% &%&%&
A few hours later, the second day of the tournament was over.
When it was time for Kagome to go home, Seto offered to walk her back, which of course she accepted. With the Battle City Tournament going on, the couple hadn't gotten that much time to be alone.
"How is the help you hired for your families shrine?" Seto asked from Kagome's coach.
Kagome was in the kitchen putting up the plates that they used for dinner. Seto grew very fond of her cooking and she was more than happy to make meals for him. "It's going great. I do have to make a visit when the tournaments over though."
Seto got a mischievous look on his face, "What makes you think I'm gonna give you the time off?" he asked.
Kagome sensed what he was teasing her but decided to play along. "Are you sure that there is nothing I can do to persuade you to give me the time off?" she walked over and asked innocently.
Seto acted if he considered it, "I don't give something for nothing Kagome," he told her, "What are you gonna give me in exchange for this time off?"
'Oh, so it's like that is it," she thought amused. Kagome climbed on top of Seto's lap putting both her legs on the outside of his and resting her hands on both his shoulders. She could tell from his expression he was shocked by her bold advancement toward him. "What would you like from me, Seto?" she asked him as seductively as she could muster. Her bold actions affected her too.
For the first time in his life, Seto Kaiba couldn't think straight. He gulped with the closeness of their bodies. Sure, he thought about being with Kagome 'that' way, but he wanted to wait until she was ready to take that step. 'She's got to be bluffing,' Seto figured as he hid an inner smirk at the thought, 'Two could play this game.'
Seto took his hands and placed them above her hips. This caused Kagome to lose her nerve but she wasn't going to back down. "You tell me," he challenged her.
Oh Kagome accepted the challenge and quickly she kissed him. Not the sweet pecks that they have shared before, but a kiss that gave off the feeling of desire.
Seto was more than happy to respond to her advances. His hands left her hips and moved them to Kagome's back to bring her closer to him. He didn't forget the little game that they were playing, and he was determined to win. Seto countered her move by taking Kagome's bottom lip and began to lightly suck on it, making her moan lightly.
Kagome fought against Seto's move by brushing her tongue gently against his, which caused him to moan in her mouth.
'Oh she's asking for it,' the thought barely formed in Seto's mind. Kagome kisses did prove very distracting. To retaliate, Seto reluctantly released Kagome's lips, which caused a whine of disappointment from the woman in his lap. He made it up to her, by attacking her neck with kisses.
Kagome shivered when his lips made contact with her skin. Seto slowly made his way from the side of her neck to the front. He slowly tilted her chin up with his right hand and slowly worked his way up.
The miko couldn't take it anymore, "Y..you…," she tried to speak but was completely breathless.
"What was that Kagome?" Seto, aksed before attending to the other side of her neck.
Somehow finding her voice through all of the attention she was receiving she said, "You win."
Seto gave one last long kiss on her neck before he stopped and pulled back with a triumph smirk on his face. "Haven't you learned yet Kagome, I always win."
When Kagome began to regain the ability to think straight, she smiled and she said, "You can't win what's already yours." She kissed him one last time on his lips before she got off him and returned to the kitchen to finish cleaning up.
Seto really liked hearing that, 'She's mine.'
There you have it. The first two days of the Battle City Tournament and a little of fluff from our beloved couple. Next time is day three of the tournament.
