Author's Note: Today has been a blissful day! But honestly, after having to hang out with my older brothers, I've just got to say, Mokuba, you're lucky! :P I'm just kidding! Anyway, you guys are welcome and I hope the dedications aren't too much! Hope it's not needy or anything! I just want to be nice and appreciate others! Also thank you for 2,193 hits! So…Since my last few Author's Notes were really long, let us move on to the story!
NOTE: I own nothing…..Except maybe Seto's happiness…I just typed it…Just kidding! XD
(POV Seto.)
She ran off quickly, not even tripping in the dark as she made her way over to my right, disappearing. I breathed deeply and felt a burst of stamina, energy. This usually happened before a duel or a challenge, like this one that's happening right now so, I know this game is going to be interesting…A test of my instincts, senses, determination, and physical abilities. In other words:
It's time to show Katsuya Jonouchi how to take tag to the next level.
I knew I needed to make my choices quickly on how I should take her out. Females are usually nimble…Unless Katsuya is lazy as I always use to think and there for easier to catch. I'm still going to be a little slower seeing as though, since I'm a male and there for, built averagely more on muscle seeing as the body structures of our genders are different. I decided to determine her quickness later and move on to the next important thing, how loud of a noise am I going to make when I'm chasing her? And do I want to just chase after her or ambush her when she least expects it? Like before her quickness is a big factor on my strategy for this gam-
Thinking tactics all night isn't going to get us anywhere! I interrupted myself urgently, snapping back into reality we need to quickly think of something and move! Besides, this game is simple. It won't take much to catch her.
Deciding stealth wouldn't be necessary, I ran towards my right quickly, listening intently for any signs of movement in the shadows or loud thumping on the wood. Having to duck uncomfortably under the wooden, narrowness of the first tower that had some small stairs leading upwards, I made my way onto a small wooden bridge that I was going to use to my advantage. Since bridges are loose and have the tendency to swing, I can use it to feel any vibrations from a good amount of the castle part of the playground and it can be used to hear any movements in what I guess is gravel.
Stepping on to the bridge I found out that it was stiff so I crossed that out as a possible advantage over my opponent. I stood there clasped my hands on the steel railing in front of me to feel for vibrations, and closed my eyes so that I can listen intently for any sounds of loud movement below. Opening my eyes, I shifted my gaze towards my left and smirked, feeling satisfaction.
This is too easy.
I darted quickly forward, ducking when going into the castle's other tower structures that were identical to the first one. In outward structure that is. I soon figured, much to my displeasure, that some were taller than others and only had one story or two and maybe a rounded out window, or they were short, lead to nowhere, and made me have to slow down and accidentally hit the door frame because of my height, almost making me want to be as short as Yugi. I swore at it angrily, rubbing my head in pain, deciding that going through the towers and platforms were a waste of my time. I made my way forward from the one I had just hit my head on, which was throbbing slightly, and went over to a stair without a hand rail, and stepped off it, resuming my course to find Katsuya, who could now be anywhere. Keeping my thoughts focused on the game, I dashed forward, picking up in speed as I listened for any signs of movement again, wanting to figure out where the pup was now. That's when I heard her, near my right, making me turn sharply and speed over that way, which was off towards the area in front of the large swing set. She turned, hearing me running after her, and yelled out in excitement as she ran away from me, laughing the whole time as I was closing in on her.
"Still think you can catch me?" She asked, throwing a taunt over her shoulder as she tried speeding up, but I could tell I had an advantage over her. Evidently, not wearing any shoes was slowing her down because of the gravel.
"Easily," I replied coolly as I closed in, and tagged her.
"Tag, you're it." I commented with another smirk, a smirk of triumph for my victory, as she stopped, breathing hard and bending over, thinking it would help her catch her breath. She looked over at me, defiantly out of energy from our little game, and smirked, raising her eye brows at me.
"Nice vocabulary you've got there," She teased me, holding her stomach and threatening to fall over in exhaustion, so obviously she must not be that nimble, "Talking to that tower over there like that. Hope you haven't used it around Mokuba often." I smiled again, laughing a little bit.
"How humorous pup," I replied in the same tone, wondering if she would topple over, "Besides, I thought you wanted to have fun, not try to exhaust yourself into submission." She pretended take it into offense and gave a fake, but humorous laugh and added rolling her eyes, "It's just nice to know you can have fun for a change, Mr. Serious CEO."
Well, it was fun, since I do like games…
The two of us walked out of the play ground, my heart thumping in my chest as I caught my breath. That game did take a considerable amount of stamina, seeing as though she did make it fun, even though she lost her stamina rather quickly. I watched her breathing return to normal as we made our way towards a walking path that would probably just lead us around the park. It was covered with some dead leaves from nearby trees. We started making our way down it, walking slowly, looking forward and saying nothing till she asked me the question I hadn't thought of till now. She turned towards me, looking up into my eyes anxiously.
"What are the others going to think and more importantly," Her gaze becoming rather guilty as she added, "What will Mokuba think?"
Author's Note: I've been on the craziest, shortest, most annoying writers block! So I'm happy to give you this! *Holds out a box* A cliff hanger! Mwhahahahahahahahaha! Ok so that's kind of mean, anyway, thank for wanting the idea of tag, it really helped me write this chapter since I almost thought I had written myself into the grave! So guys, here's the nice present of a cliff hanger! Sorry! :D
