Sky's the Limit
Chapter 2
Sorry about Chapter 1! The original title was Heaven's Lost Angel but when I posted it, I changed the title so that's why the title page of Chapter 1 is wrong. (Special Note: Blue and Nadia live in a different town just outside of Domino called Nataki.) I'm going to get this going quick this time.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own YGO. ( I found the Yugi skin so the contest's over)

Upon Blue's arrival to Domino City, she trotted slowly on the grass, trying to portray herself as just a simple fox that had wandered out of the woods. She quickly snuck into the police station as she past it and stole a look at a map they had to find out where Battle City was. It was 9 blocks from her current location. She raced out when a police officer saw her and ran as fast as her 4 legs could carry her but tripped on a crack and twisted her back left leg 3 blocks from Battle City. She collapsed in the park grass and breathed heavily. " Running… that fast….is a good workout… at least… I didn't get caught." She said breathlessly. She spied a fountain and staggered over to it and got a quick drink. She got back to walking but couldn't run because of her bad leg. It took her a full 15 minutes to reach the Kaiba Corp. and she staggered around to a back entrance. Still a fox, she staggered in and looked at the directory.
Hey! What is that animal doing in here?!" a secretary cried out before Blue could find the right floor Blue raced down the hall until she found an elevator. She hopped up clumsily and pressed the button with her nose, praying that there was no one in the elevator coming down. It arrived empty. She ran in and the doors closed right before the secretary caught her. She collapsed on the carpet floor in relief. The female computerized voice of Seto's mainframe computer spoke to her through a speaker in the elevator.
" Please request a floor or person." It said.
" Can you tell me which floor Seto Kaiba is on?"
" Information on Seto Kaiba is classified."
" Classify this." Blue bared her silver fangs and growled and the elevator began to move. " Good girl."
" You have no idea how much trouble I will be in for taking you to him." The computer voice spoke in fear.
" Aw, don't worry about it. I'll make sure they don't hurt you." The elevator stopped abruptly and the doors opened right in front of a door with Seto's name on it. " This is where I have some fun. My leg doesn't hurt anymore so I can run as fast as I want." She giggled quietly, making sure no one could hear her talking. She threw back her head and howled as loud as she could. Seto's office was the only room on the floor so on one else could hear her. The door opened and a guard materialized in front of her. Blue raced past him and down the long hallway. " It's way useful being a fox. Humans can never run this fast." Blue cried as the wind raced past her face. She had evaded the guard but someone jumped on top of her from behind, flipped her over, and poised a long knife at her throat. Blue's thin yellow eyes widened when they met her captor's cold blue ones. She was staring right in Seto Kaiba's face.
" Are you sure about that?" he sneered, poking the knife a little closer.
" N-n-now hold on now! I-I wasn't referring to you personally… I mean… uh… just please don't kill me!! Please!!" Blue cried pathetically.
" Who are you and how did you get in here?" he asked coldly.
" My-my name is Blue. I'm a spy so it was fairly easy to not get caught."
" Who are you a spy for?" Seto asked, continuing to interrogate her and inching the knife closer to the short fur of Blue's throat with each question. He was sitting on top of her with his legs wrapped around her so her front paws were pinned to her sides and she was at the mercy of the cold armed teenager.
" I'm not a spy for anyone!! My best friend told me that you were hiring a person to be your spy so I came here!!" Blue cried, trying not to look at the knife. Seto seemed satisfied with her answers and stored the weapon away in a holster on the outside of his left boot. Blue turned back to a human and sat up, breathing a long sigh of relief. " Would you really have killed me?!" she breathed, holding her neck.
" If it had come to that." He answered simply.
" And what would I have to do to 'come to that'?" Blue asked. Seto didn't answer. " Oh, I know. You wanna protect Mokuba so you'll kill an innocent high school girl to do so." Blue answered in a huff.
" You know I would." Seto snapped back.
" Look! I've got a problem and I came here to see if you could help me solve it! I didn't come to quarrel over your little brother." She sniffed, turning away and folding her arms.
" What's the problem?" he asked with no real concern in his voice.
" Look, I got some…bad grades… in school and my mom's gonna send me off to military school if she knows about the card and I don't wanna go to military school so Nadia told me that you were looking for a person to hire as a spy so I came here thinking that I could work for you and you could hide me!" Blue rushed in one breath and inhaled greedily when she finished.
" And what makes you think that you qualify to be my spy?" Seto said, sitting in a chair and resting his head on his hands.
" I got up here didn't I?" Blue said and turned back into a fox to illustrate her next point. " Anyway, I could use the fox disguise to creep around without being noticed and flush out cheaters and stuff." She turned human.
" It sounds like an interesting idea. I guess that you can stay here since I could use a 24-hour-spy." He replied, getting out of the chair and standing in front of her. " Deal?" he asked, holding out his hand. Blue bent down and kissed his hand
" Deal." She said.
" You start tomorrow. I want you to go around the city and flush out any type of cheating or alliances. And since you work for me, I trust you won't screw up and get caught." He said, standing with his back to her and talking over his shoulder.
" You can count on me, Mister Kaiba. I like the sound of that, Mister Kaiba. I think I could get to like working for you. If I'm good, do you think…um… maybe you… or I could uh…" Blue stumbled as she began to blush. ' Come on, vixen! Spit it out!' she thought furiously and words came tumbling from her mouth. " Do you think that I could meet Mokuba?!" she yelled, trying to get all of the words out but quickly covering her mouth. A smirk appeared on Seto though he didn't permit himself to smile.
" Maybe, Ms. Blue. Maybe. " He said as a parting phrase. He walked away and Blue just halted, trying to grasp what had happened. " I'm hired…?" she asked herself in a small voice, not able to believe it. " I'm hired…I'M HIRED!!!! YIIIPPEE!!!!" she squealed, joyfully leaping in circles. She turned into a fox and leapt out the window onto a tree branch and assumed her position.

Oh yeah, Blue's reeeeal dignified. Yeah right. She's childish but I've always wanted to write about a chara like that. If you guys don't review, I'm telling you, I won't have any incentive to write. I have 4 other fics and a story due for class in about a month and I want it to be at least 50 pages long! That takes priority! Gotta go! Ciao!
