YUGIOH
Kaiba: Missing Persons
Chapter 10. It was getting later in the tournament........allot of players hit some major losses. Rex Raptor was out, Bones was out, even Bandit Keith was out and drowning himself at a bar again. The players were thinning down, and it would soon come down to seeing who were the finalists. Krysonna had separated from Joey for awhile, and cut through more battlists.......she now only needed a few more points to make it as a finalist. But despite that, Joey just kept finding her, and coming back for more. The last time he did, Krysonna had ended up finding something 'special' for him along the way.
Lanna smiled, "I don't think he's going to accept your gift, Ms. Sonato."
"We'll just have to see........", Krysonna smiled.
"Did I hear that right. You got a gift......for me?", Joey grinned. "Geez Krysonna, I don't know what to say!"
"It's Sonato to you, Wheeler. Here", she smiled coldly, handing him a dog collar, complete with dog tag. "You can't say I never gave you anything", she sneered. "Sit for me, and be a good boy."
Joey blinked, looking at it. He read the tag aloud, saying, "Fido". Then shaking his head, he said, "I can't believe it........you bought me a gift. You were thinking about me!" He put it on without a second thought, and with her sit command he did, pretending to be a dog just for her. "So......do I get a special treat from you?", he smiled, hopeful.
Lanna cocked an eye brow, seeming rather fascinated how this was going along.
Krysonna smiled, really beginning to enjoy Joey's attention for some reason, as she squatted down on her knees in front of him. The motion made Joey feel real weak in the knees, because of the way her dress was shaped, as Krysonna stuck her finger under his collar, stroking his neck a bit. She looked into his eyes, finally answering, "I don't I train you to beg for it?"
"Oh yeah, I can learn real quick", he said, excited from her touch. She removed her finger from his neck, and stroked the side of his face once with her hand. "So......think you'll duel me, yet?", he choked out, yet he was now thinking more about getting into her pants then playing Duel Monsters.
She brought her head over right next to his ear, and whispered, "No." She then stood back up, and laughed coldly, as she walked away.
In the distance, Yugi had seen it, and was not happy........he didn't like the way she was playing with him and treating him, as well as the way Joey was letting her degrade him like that. 'That's not right', he thought to himself. It's one thing to like someone, but no one deserves to be treated that way. But he knew there was nothing he could do about it right now, and finally walked away.
Krysonna once again left Joey behind, ignoring Lanna's suggestions to Duel him, and finally ran into another player to challenge.........Mai Valentine.
Mai was good, specializing in her harpy deck. She would have done much better, but her mind was so fragmented, she was lacking in a great deal of confidence......and her own attempt at being psychic didn't work at throwing Krysonna's game off. Krysonna crushed her in the battle, and she was out. Weevil was still trying to avoid the heavy hitters, like Joey and especially Yugi, and ended up also making the mistake to run into Bakura. And once again, thinking the nieve-looking simpleton was easy prey, challenged him. Bakura defeated Weevil with little problems, but Weevil was also unfortunate enough to be sent to the shadow realm, since Weevil's way of playing can piss anyone off.
Yugi cleaned up on allot of players, and had to switch off into Yami Yugi only once........he had achieved his goal of wins to make it to the final. Joey was almost there, only needing two more wins, or gambling that amount with a player. Once again he went searching and ran into Krysonna.
"Hey, Ms. Sonato!", Joey said, running over, "Wait up!"
"Not you again", she grumbled, "Don't you ever give up?"
"Me? Never. See, you had me all wrong. It's persistence that got me as far as I have. So whaddya say, you wanna battle me? I'll bet ya 2 dueling points that I can cream ya. Come on.......don't chicken out on me this time. It's getting close........you might not find another challenger......", Joey winked. "Besides......I still got your present on me", he said, showing off the collar still on his neck.
Krysonna looked at the collar and laughed. "All right Wheeler, you win. If you're so desperate to be beaten by me, then I'll play you. What's another sucker afterall, and I suppose it wont matter if it's an easy kill or not, as long as it gives me the points I need", she said.
"All right! Let's duel!", Joey said.
Krysonna then approached him closer, and gently grabbed his collar, playing under it again, then pulled on the collar, making his face dangerously close to hers, as she licked her lips, and said softly, "Are you sure you think you can handle me?"
"I-I-I.......", Joey began to ramble from the closeness, his face beginning to blush.
Krysonna smiled, finding how easy it was to manipulate him, like melted butter. She brought her lips over near his ear again, saying, "Then if you really think you have what it takes........I accept your challenge. Let's duel." Using the collar the whole while, she directed his face back next to her again, and gave him a kiss on the lips. Krysonna then turned away from him, walking a couple steps to get into a dueling position, as Joey collapsed on the ground, due to the kiss she gave him. She smiled, thinking, 'What a sucker. Even if he's right and he could be a challenge to me, he wont be after I'm through with him......'
Lanna watched from a distance, giving an amused smile from the scene, but keeping silent as she stood behind Krysonna, supporting her.
The duel began. Joey pealed himself off the ground, and started the match, throwing a monster in attack mode. But what Krysonna had figured was also true........his gaming was way off, being so focused on her and not on the game. He didn't even bother to put any cards down to protect his monster........all he could think about was that kiss, and the gentle caress of her fingers touching him.
Just then Yugi showed up, saying, "Hey Joey, so you finally got that duel, huh?"
"Yeah, that's right", Joey said proudly. "You gonna route for me, Yug?"
"Yugi......", Krysonna said, then smiled, "Here to watch Wheeler loose, huh? Fine, then you can watch a real duelist in action!" She turned her attention to Joey, saying, "This is not my usual opening move, but since you left yourself so open, I simply can't resist. I summon forth Battle Ox in attack mode, and put two cards face down. Now, my Battle Ox, annihilate his monster!" The Battle Ox massacred the monster, causing Joey's points to drop. She then smiled sweetly, saying, "Your move, Wheeler."
"Huh? Oh, yeah.......", Joey said, grabbing a card, and trying to concentrate, looking them over.
Yugi looked worried, and said, "Try and keep focused, Joey. Don't forget what's at stake. Believe in the heart of the cards......"
Joey tried to focus, which annoyed Krysonna. Her frown quickly became a mocking grin, as she shook her head, saying, "Getting tutored by your friends already, Wheeler? I could have sworn you were trying to convince me that you were a top-rate duelist. Obviously I was right about you, after all........"
"I am!", Joey said. He turned to Yugi, saying, "Hey, Yug.......I appreciate the advice, but I can handle this on my own, okay?"
Yugi didn't like the situation, having an almost sense of deja-vu from it. Either way, he was beginning to believe that maybe Krysonna didn't like him, afterall......she was simply toying with his emotions, in order to gain an advantage over the game. But Yugi quietly nodded, and listened to Joey's request against his better judgment.
"I put Garoozies in attack mode, and one card face down", Joey said.
Krysonna smiled, saying, "Is that the best you can do? Fine, then I'll place one card face down, and attack your Garoozies with my Battle Ox."
"Ha ha........I knew you'd do that. Kunai with Chain!", Joey said, folding up his trap card that forced Battle Ox into defense mode.
"That away, Joey......you show her!", Yugi said.
"Fine.......then I guess it's your move", Krysonna stated, calmly.
Joey attacked, destroying Krysonna's battle Ox in the next round, and Krysonna picked a card, keeping only 1 monster card in defense mode. This got Joey more cocky, and he attacked the face-down card, destroying it, saying, "Guess you aint as tough as you thought, huh Krysonna."
"That's Sonato to you, Wheeler. And I wouldn't get so cocky if I were you......take a look at what you just destroyed. It was my Giant Germ. Your reckless move just cost you an additional 500 life points. But not only that, I can summon two more of them to the field.......", she grinned.
"Uhh........I'll put a card face-down and end my turn", Joey pouted.
As this went on, Yugi thought, I don't trust her.......there's something about her that's not right, saying to the spirit of the Millennium Item.
And with good reason. So far, every card that Krysonna has drawn had been a card that Kaiba has used in his deck one time or another......., Yami told him.
What? What are you saying?, Yugi asked.
I am beginning to wonder if she might have an idea of Kaiba's whereabouts.......if these cards are perhaps straight from the deck that Kaiba had on him, when he was taken, Yami explained.
Yugi gasped, as he looked over at Krysonna.
Krysonna said, "Then it's 'my' turn, and I'll sacrifice both monsters to summon forth Tri-Horned Dragon, in attack mode! Tri-horned Dragon, attack his Garoozies!"
But Joey only smiled, saying, "Ha ha......once again, you missed my face- down card. Torrential Tribute!"
"What?", Krysonna said in surprise. All monsters were instantly destroyed on the field. But from that, Krysonna just smiled, saying, "You might have destroyed my monster, but it destroyed yours, as well."
"Maybe........but you already summoned your monster this round", Joey smeared.
Krysonna then suddenly re-positioned herself, to show off more of her upper area, and smiled sweetly at Joey, making him melt, as she said, "Hmm........well Joey, maybe you're a better player than I thought you were.......I end my turn"
Her actions instantly made Joey melt, saying, "Joey.......you hear that, Yug? She called my Joey!"
"Joey, it's your turn!", Yugi reminded him.
"Oh, yeah.....I'll put my Axe Raider in attack mode", Joey said, and smiled over at Krysonna, daydreaming, as he said, "So.......whaddya think of that?"
"I dunno.......are you gonna end your turn today, or not?", Krysonna asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I end my turn", Joey said quickly without thinking.
"Joey!!", Yugi said, realizing that he ended his turn, forgetting to attack first. It was a major mistake, that could not be missed in a duel. Yugi glared at Krysonna, knowing she did that on purpose, taking advantage of Joey's feelings towards her.
"Huh.....what? What I do?", Joey asked.
