Me: Hey. We're back.

Ryou: Cheerio then!

Me: good chapter, good chapter...

Ryou: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Me: god, we wish we did. I need 'Kura and Ryou to kiss one of these days.

Ryou: GYEH! *Blushes*


"Mokuba!" A voice called. The raven-haired child turned to see Miki running towards him. (you remember her, right?)

"Hey!" He said with a grin.

"Look what I got for you!" She thrust a bag into his hands. It was yellow and had the words Kyoko's gift shop written on it in fancy cursive.

"Why'd you get me a gift?" He asked.

"Because I wanted to!" She frowned, "Now open it already!"

"Well, alright." He said, digging around in the tissue paper. He pulled out a small rectangular metal tin.

"Open it up!" Miki squealed happily, bouncing up and down. Mokuba laughed and did as he was told.

"A duel deck!" He exclaimed happily. Yes, we know. His brother made all sorts of things for duel monsters, he was currently in the runner up King of Games, and Mokuba didn't even own a deck. We get it.

"Yeah! I went out and picked all the cards myself." She said proudly, smiling at the boy. She then pulled her own deck out of her pocket.

"Let's play!" She giggled. They say down at a picnic table and shuffled each others decks.

"Lady's first." Mokuba smiled.

"Since when are you such a gentleman?" Miki asked, but drew a card. "Alright. I play Ice Angel in attack mode, and place two cards face down."

Mokuba eagerly drew a card and looked over his hand. Miki had certainly chosen some great cards for him "I'll play forest warrior in defense mode and end my turn."

"So soon?" Miki giggled, drawing another card.


"I sacrifice my winged lover and Chorco to summon, the Ultimate Red Sorcerer in attack mode!" Miki crowed happily, placing one of her favorite cards on the field. She only needed to draw The Ultimate Red Sorceress to activate the quartets special ability now. [A/N these are all cards I made up that their using, so I'll explain. When all four of these cards are placed on the field- The Red Witch, The Red Sorcerer, the Ultimate Red Sorcerer, and The Ultimate Red Sorceress (yeah, not very original names)- they activate their special ability. They wipe out all other monsters on the opponents side of the Field, and whether or not their in defense mode the points are taken from the other person's life points. Plus an extra 500 points for each monster in attack mode.]

Mokuba smiled. "I activate my face down card, Death Claimer, which allows me to wipe out two monsters from your side of the field at the cost of 500 life points!" Miki scowled as she placed her Red Witch and Red sorcerer in the graveyard. "Then I play Lady of Darkness and attack your Ultimate Red Sorcerer!"

Miki frowned. "My red sorcerer is more powerful than her." She pointed out.

"Take into acount her special effect though!" Mokuba exclaimed. "She automatically reduces any magic based monsters by 500 points!"

"Gah! You took out three of my strongest cards in one turn!" Miki said in disbelief.

"I'm not done! Now, Silver Dragon, attack her life points directly!" Mokuba had immieidantly liked this card because it so resembled Seto's favorite card, the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"You... beat me! In, like, ten minutes!" Miki said in shock, her vivid green eyes wide.

"Yep!" Mokuba said happily. Then he paused. "How long have you been playing duel monsters?" He questioned.

"Two years." Miki answered slowly.

"And you've always had that deck?"

"Not always, but for the most part... It's very familiar to me."

"And... your good at this game, right?"

"Of course! Usually I never get beaten!" She said with a frown. "And your sure you've never played this game before?"

"Yeah. I guess watching Seto play all the time just rubbed off on me." He said with a shrug.

"I guess so." She agreed with a nod. "Good game." They shook hands and gathered up their things.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow, Moko!" She grinned, waving as she walked away. Mokuba laughed at the nickname she'd taken to calling him.

"Alright, see you then!" He called, walking towards home. Once he got there he immiediantly ran up to Seto's room and knocked on the door. Today was Sunday, so Seto would be home by now.

"Come in." A voice called. Mokuba opened the door and grinned widely at the older Kaiba.

"Hey Big brother!" He said happily.

"Hey, Mokuba." He said, smiling slightly.

"Guess what Miki gave me today!" Mokuba said, running up.

"What?" The older boy asked, curiousity shining in his usually stoic blue eyes.

"A duel deck!" Mokuba exclaimed, pulling it out of his pocket.

"Really?" Seto asked, looking at it. His brother hadn't really displayed an interest in dueling, so he'd never thought to get one for the small boy.

"Yep! Wanna see it? I already beat Miki, and she's been playing for years." He said, holding it out to his brother. Seto took it and began looking through the cards.

"She chose some pretty good ones." He commented approvingly. He stopped when he saw The Silver Dragon card.

"That's my favorite." Mokuba said, pointing at it. The silver dragon displayed in the picture was sleek and powerful looking, and had almost as many attack points as Seto's Blue Eyes. [A/N Oh. My. God. I almost called Seto by his last name there! I just saw it and freaked out! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME! HE. IS. SETO!]

"It's nice." Seto smiled.

"Yeah." Mokuba agreed. There was a comfortable silence as Seto handed the other boy his deck back.

"So..." Mokuba said, looking at his brother. Seto smiled.

"Wanna duel?"
