(Author's note: Chapter 25 is here! Sorry it was late, I just had a lot of work to do, and it never seems to end! The funny thing about this story is that Mokuba only appeared in one chapter even though the story is all about Seto. I will try to include some scenes with Mokuba in Chapter 26 or 27, so keep your eyes peeled! ^_^)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I LAST SAW YU-GI-OH, SO I DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING. I WOULD WATCH IT AGAIN BUT I CAN'T FIND THE JAPANESE VERSION, AND I WILL NOT WATCH THE 4KIDS VERSION (BCAUSE THEY SUCK), SO THE BATTLE CITY ARC IS NOW MODIFIED, AND THE ANNOYING FILLER ARCS BEFORE THE YUGI VS. SETO MATCH WILL NOT BE FEATURED IN THIS FANFIC.

MODIFICATIONS INCLUDE: THE BATTLE CITY TOURNAMENT WILL BE SET IN THE DUEL ARENA SEEN IN CHAPTER 1 AND CHAPTERS 14-15, LESS COVERAGE ON THE DUELS (BECAUSE DUEL SCENES ARE VERY TEDIOUS TO WRITE), ETC.

The tournament continued. Seto and Mizore were now in his office, where it was more private than the VIP lounge. Everything was going just the way he planned it. He was sure that his plan would work and that he would beat Yugi once and for all!

"Sorry you lost to Ishizu," Seto said to Mizore.

"It's all right," she replied. "I guess I need more training.

I still can't believe Ishizu owned me! She thought. How could I lose? I'm the main character in this story! And the way she acted really pissed me off, like she knows how everything will end all because she has a stupid Millenium-

"By the way Seto, what's a Millennium Item?" Mizore asked him.

"It's an item that can control Shadow Games," Seto explained to her. "There are seven of them in total, and they're powerful items, very mysterious too. "Why do you ask?"

"It's just that while we were dueling, Ishizu told me her Millenium Necklace can see into the future," answered Mizore. "I thought she was lying, but...it just seemed so real, so I guess you could say I ended up believing her, but I'm still skeptical."

"Hang on I'm getting a text," said Kaiba. He took out his Blackberry and checked the inbox. "No way, are they serious?"

"What does it say?" Mizore asked him.

"They sent me name of the person I'll be dueling in Round 2, and it's Ishizu," he replied, showing her the message.

"Wow, that's a surprise," responded Mizore. (not being sarcastic)

"Yeah," agreed Seto. "They also sent me a list of winners from Round 1. Yugi won against Vivian, no surprise there. Marik obviously beat Mai, Odion won against Rex, that fag Jonouchi won against Bakura, Ishizu beat you, and I won against Weevil. Just in case you were wondering, Bakura lost to Jonouchi in a Shadow Game, so he's in the shadow realm, and he won't be bothering you. "

Mizore breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, but what about Yami Marik? You saw him in that Shadow Game, he's kinda crazy if you ask me."

"It'll be fine," Kaiba said. "Trust me."

"But..."

"Another round will be starting right now," announced the speaker. "The first match will be Seto Kaiba vs. Ishizu Ishtar.

Seto left his office, and headed for the duelling field. The match started and he went first. Mizore also left so she could watch the duel live from the stands.

Fifteen minutes later, the duel went continued and Seto was winning, but Ishizu didn't seem too concerned about that. In fact she looked really calm and cool, as if she will somehow win in the end. Mizore was watching from the stands, and she knew that Ishizu was stronger than she looks, and she also had some tricks up her sleeve.

Come on, Seto. Just summon Blue Eyes White Dragon and own her already! Mizore thought impatiently.

"Hey!" someone called. Mizore turned around to see Kyoko, who then sat down next to her.

"Too bad you lost," Kyoko told her sympathetically. "Better luck next time."

"How did you know I lost to Ishizu?" asked Mizore with a tone of surprise in her voice. "I didn't tell you yet."

"Well you're pretty famous, so everyone knows," she replied with a smile.

"I see...so how's everything going?" Mizore asked, changing the subject.

"Really good!" Kyoko responded happily. "I'm in college, and I'm enjoying it."

"Awesome," Mizore said.

"Yeah, look I think Ishizu's making a comeback," said Kyoko. She pointed to the duelling field, and it was true. Ishizu used the Exchange of the Spirit trap card, and it ensured her chance of winning.

Oh shit, that's NOT good Mizore thought. She's going to own him!

Seto wasn't ready to lose. He was going to summon Obelisk which could own her in one move, but Ishizu played a trap card which would force Obelisk to self-destruct; which would make Ishizu win the match. Seto wanted so desparately to win so he could finally beat Yugi, later in this tournament.

Dammit, it can't end like this! he thought. Seto then summoned Blue Eyes White Dragon, a less powerful card that could make him win this match so that he could move on to beat Yugi. (Author: We'll discuss the flashback with Kisara later, I haven't forgot about it.) Blue Eyes WHite Dragon attacked Ishizu, and reduced her LP to 0. As soon as the match was over, Seto headed for his office.

Ishizu, she can be really creepy he thought. She acted like she really could see into the future, but she was wrong. She predicted that I would lose, but I won. I still don't understand why I summoned BEWD instead of Obelisk. I experienced a really weird flashback, and I saw some girl that highly resembled the BEWD, and in that flashback it seemed that I was in love with that girl. I don't get it, I mean I love Mizore more than anything but now this chick with silver hair is involved? This is so complicated...

Time's up! Chapter 26 will be out as soon as possible, maybe on Friday or Saturday.
