Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me, I'm just borrowing them, hehehe. Adele is an original character and Raya belongs to Anya (read her fan fics!).
Author's Note: I realize that some of the rules here during the duel may be incorrect. I have combined the rules from the TV series plus the actual card game rules in order to write this duel. I did not use the Tributing system either.

Joey, Tristan, Tea, Yugi, Adele, and Mai all stood around the wooden table in Adele's kitchen, hoping for some way to stop the fight that had broken out between Seto and Bakura. Seto stood on one side of the table, shuffling his cards and preparing for the duel while Bakura stood there, glaring furiously at Seto with a sly smile spread across his lips.
"Bakura! You can't do this!" pleaded Yugi.
"On the contrary, I most certainly can!"
"This is nuts, man!" said Joey. "You're a good player, Bakura, but Kaiba's deck is so much stronger than yours! You won't stand a chance if he pulls out his Blue Eyes!"
Inwardly, Bakura laughed. They all had no idea of his true reason for battling Seto. Seto thought he was so superior to the others, as if he ruled over them all. But he was soon to learn his lesson. There was only one man who would rule over the world and soon Seto would know this as well!
"Bakura, listen to me," Adele said, gripping his arm firmly. "I know Seto's being a jerk, but please let me handle it! This isn't necessary!"
"Stand back, Adele. It's time he's learned his lesson, and I shall be the one to teach him!"
Everyone stood around in awe, as Seto pulled out a coin and smirked. "So, heads or tails?"
"No need to flip, Seto. You can go first." Bakura smiled.
"All right, you fool. Have it your way. But you're making a mistake. Not only will you lose, but now you will lose the game that much faster!"
As Seto and Bakura drew their first five cards, there was a knock at the front door. Adele quickly rushed away to answer it, hoping that it would be someone who could possibly stop the madness of this duel.
"Adele! Hello, I'm sorry we arrived late, we had some important business to take care of. This is Yami."
"Raya! Hello! Thank God you are both here!" she said, panicked.
"What is wrong, Adele?" questioned Yami.
"It's Bakura and Seto! They are dueling!"
"Well, what is wrong with that?" asked Raya. "Other than the fact that Bakura doesn't stand a chance, that is."
"No, it's not a friendly duel! Bakura got all, I don't know, weird.and then he challenged Seto to a duel because Seto insulted his dueling abilities! I have such a bad feeling about this! We have to do something!"
"Calm down, Adele. There is no reason to panic. We'll figure something out. Let's go."
They rushed to the other room just in time to see Seto lay down his first card. Since nobody had any special dueling technology with them, they had to play this game normally, just with cards on a table. There were no holographic projections to battle one another, but this didn't seem to affect the mood of those who watched. The anticipation factor was definitely the same.
"First, I play Battle Ox, with an attack of 1700, in attack mode!"
"And you end your turn, I assume?"
"Yes. See if you have something that could beat him down!"
"Very well." Bakura smiled. "First, I lay down Angel's Gift, which allows me to draw three cards this turn, and discard two from my hand."
"What good will that do you so early in the game? Are you that desperate already?"
"Not quite. Next, I lay down this card, in defense position, and I end my turn."
"Fine." Seto said, smiling. "Looks like whatever you lay face down couldn't take down my Battle Ox. I'm not surprised! I expect there aren't many cards in your weak deck that can come close to taking down any of my cards. This should be a quick and painless match, don't you agree?"
Seto drew another card. "Hah! First, I play Ookazi, attacking you directly for 800 Life Points! Now I play La Jinn, in attack mode! His 1800 points of attack will take down whatever card you have face down!"
"Very well, I'll take the 800 damage, however, my face down card is Man- Eater Bug, and it's effect allows me to destroy one monster card on the field! I choose to destroy Battle Ox! Since you already attacked with La Jinn this turn, he can't attack again. That ends your turn!"
"That was an interesting move in order to prolong Seto's attacks," said Yami. "but the truth is, this duel should not be occurring in the first place. Bakura, you have to stop this! You shouldn't be fighting! This is useless!"
Bakura turned and glared at Yami. "What makes you think you can stop me? This is just a duel, Yami, something you should be quite familiar with. Do you not remember a duel we had once? I had quite the advantage over you! You seem to think that I lack the capability to defeat Seto Kaiba, when I once came so close to beating you!"
"You don't need to prove anything to anybody, Bakura! We all know you are a good duelist! Now let it go!" Tea called to him.
"A good duelist?" mocked Kaiba. "You have to be kidding me! Look at how weak his cards are!"
"Unfortunately, Kaiba, you know that it is not the strength of the cards you play, but the power that they hold within! The power of my cards shall overcome the strength of yours!"
"Is that all you have in store for me? I can just take you down next turn, if you want to play it that way."
"You can try!" mocked Bakura. "But now, I lay this card, face down in defense position. I also lay down this magic card, and end my turn."
"Do all you want, fool. Now, this game ends! I summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon! In attack mode! This game isn't nearly as fun without the holographic projections, but it will still be just as much fun beating you! Go, Blue Eyes! Attack his face down card!"
"Attack away, Seto. I active my face down magic card, Just Desserts, causing 500 points of damage to you for every card on your field!"
"A lot of good that will do you. Now that my Blue Eyes is out, there is nothing you can do to stop him!"
"True, for now. But, the card you attacked was Morphing Jar. When it is attacked, all cards in both players' hands go directly to the graveyard. We now draw five new cards."
"I know how the effect works, fool. I don't know why you are so cocky about this. I may be at 1000 life points, but you are only 200 points ahead of me. I can take you down and attack you directly next turn!"
"Do whatever you want, Kaiba. But for my next turn, I lay down this magic card. Next, I summon the demon temptress, the beautiful Dark Necrophia, in attack mode! She has 2200 attack, and your Battle Ox only has 1700. I will attack your Battle Ox for 500 points of damage to you!"
"You idiot. What is the point in doing that?"
"Seto is right." Remarked Joey. "What is Bakura thinking? Seto has Blue Eyes on the field! His attack is higher than Dark Necrophia! Seto can just take her out next turn!"
"Maybe you should listen to your friend, Bakura. It seems for once, the dog has some amount of intelligence more than somebody else when it comes to dueling! You know next turn you will just lose 800 life points!"
"Oh, my. I hadn't thought of that. Well, too late now. I end my turn."
Seto drew his next card and smiled. "Well, well, well. Looks like I can have even more fun than I originally thought this turn! First, I summon Judge Man, and I use the magic card, Rush Recklessly, raising his attack power to 2900! Go, Judge Man! Attack Dark Necrophia!"
"Oh no!" said Tea. "Bakura's field is wide open now! Seto can attack him with Blue Eyes and win the match!"
"You're right, Tea." Said Yugi. "Bakura has only 500 life points now, equal to Seto's. If Seto attacks the field directly, which he is sure to do, Bakura loses the game!"
"Wait, guys" said Tristan. "If he is going to lose, then why is Bakura smiling?"
The others looked over at Bakura, who was grinning maliciously and laughing. His laugh sounded frightening, almost evil.
'Oh no' thought Adele. 'What does he have in store for Kaiba?'

That's all for now! I know, it's a short chappie, but the next one will have more, I promise! Let me know what you think so far!--LA
