Chapter 2
LOD: Alright, listen up. I haven't seen half the shows, so if I mess up, I'm sorry. This is the way it happens in my mind. Expect author notes everywhere, so try not to get confused.
Kahti: @_@ Too late.
LOD: Anyway, thank you Lillian for reviewing! At least I know someone cares!
Kahti: Yay! There's someone out there that actually reads this stuff!
LOD: And since my story now has regular Yu-Gi-Oh characters, and not just Shadi.
Kahti: WE LOVE YOU SHADI!!
LOD: O_O; Yeah, anyway, we have a treat for you peoples! Kahti, tell them!
Kahti: I, um, came by some money, and we hired a disclaimer dude! And he's a cute one!
Disclaimer: Normally, I don't do this, but they pinned this sign that read "DISCLAIMER" on me and gave me money.
Kahti: Like I said, he's a cute one!
Disclaimer: What do I say again? *gets paper handed to him* Okay. LightOfDarkness does not own Yu-Gi-Oh, or the sexy, is that right?
Kahti: Yes!
Disclaimer: Um, the sexy characters on the show. And I will wear leather pants next chapter. What?
LOD: He said it, not us! On with the fic!

Two Years Later.
(A/N: This is in a small town where a small street tournament is being held. Kaiba is passing through on his way to wherever he went after Yugi defeated him.)
The scene takes place at a duel, between a girl and a boy. Both looked around 15.
"Star Boy, in defense mode!" The boy said as he put a card down on the table. It was a star with long swirls coming from it.
"Aah, innit it cute?" The girl was average height, with longish brown hair that had a slightly golden tint to it. She also had gray-blue eyes with a hint of green, and pale skin. She was dressed in big, baggy black pants with bright blue seams, and a light blue T-shirt. There was a black choker with a black stone around her neck, and leather gloves that went past her elbows and had open fingers.
She smiled at the boy. "But, unlike humans, looks ain't getting him far. I play Harpy Lady, in attack mode. I also play Mountain, which gives my Harpy Lady a field power bonus!" The girl smirked, and gestured with her gloved hand. "Harpy Lady, attack Star Boy!"
The Harpy, being much stronger than the Star Boy, destroyed it.
(A/N: Okay, lets pretend that everyone's outside, okay? Okay.)
Kaiba heard the crowd, and went to see if the person was any good. He really didn't care, but he was bored, and he had some extra time. He came in time to see the boy play another card, in defense mode, and smirked at the nervousness on his face. The girl matched his smirk perfectly.
"Oh my. A Gear Golem. And with a defense power of 2200. Whatever shall I do, Gryffin?" She looked at the gray cat next to her, and smiled. "Since my Harpy Lady can't beat that, I'll have to do something else. But what's this?" She drew a card, and held it between two fingers. "An Elegant Egotist. You know what this does?" She played the card. "It splits my Harpy Lady into. Harpy Ladies Sister!" There was now three Harpy Ladies now, and with the field power bonus, they had more that enough attack power to beat the Golem. "Harpies, attack!"
The boy's nervousness grew as his the girl laughed at his destroyed Golem. He had no good cards, only magic cards. He couldn't do anything with those. Unless.
"I play Black Hole!" He put a card with a black void on the table. The girl gasped. "All monsters on the field are eliminated. So much for your Harpies." The boy smiled.
"You bastard!" The girl yelled. Everyone, even Kaiba, was shocked. "That's my favorite card! Why are you being such an ass?"
The poor kid, Kaiba thought. Dueling against an insane one.
"Gryff, did you see what he did? No matter. Can you guess what I have? She waved a card around. The boy gulped, and shook his head.
" I play Mystical Elf, in attack mode! And since you have no monsters on the field, I can directly attack your life points!" The monster obliterated the boy's life points in one attack. He had lost.
Everyone was whispering. The boy was the champion of the last local tournament, and this stranger defeated him without breaking a sweat. Kaiba paid no attention. He wanted to try this girl out. He pushed his way through the crowd.
The girl approached the boy. "Hey, great duel. Sorry about the outburst. I get a little excited when I duel. I take it to seriously, and not seriously enough!" She grinned, cradling her cat. "I hope to meet you again soon!"
The boy smiled. "Yeah, but I can't promise I'll improve to your level." He said, relaxing a bit.
"I'm sorry I was so hard on you. It's not easy beating cute ones." She tilted her head to the side and grinned, as the boy blushed. She handed him a piece of paper.
"Call me sometime, or e-mail. That's even better! Good luck with your life." She turned, and walked away from the crowds.
Seeing his chance, Kaiba followed her. She moved quickly, and soon he had to jog to keep up. He was thinking of how she won't be as difficult as Yugi was, but perhaps a challenge. And Kaiba so loved a challenge.
He was so busy thinking, he didn't notice someone was behind him until he was pushed into an alleyway. He spun to see a knife to his throat, held by the very girl he was following.
"Who the hell are you and why, pray tell, are you following me?" The knife was too close for Kaiba's comfort, and he could see this girl knew how to use it. He held up his hands to show he came in peace.
"Relax, I just wanted to duel." He mentally kicked himself. He sounded like some wannabe dueler schoolboy.
The girl blinked. "Oh, that's all?" Kaiba nodded. "Okay."
"You'll duel?"
"Hell no!" The girl said, looking slightly pissed.
"Huh?" Kaiba felt extremely confused.
"No, I won't duel. I'm sick of being asked. I've been dueling all day with wannabe's who think they're good enough to take me!" She was waving the knife around, and Kaiba felt a bit nervous.
"I'm sorry, but sticking me with a knife won't help you much." He said, hoping she'll take the hint.
She realized she still held the knife. "Oh, sorry! You can't be too careful. You could have been a rapist, or something." She narrowed her eyes, "Or are you?"
"No! You look like you could take care of yourself just fine, though. Now, can we close the knife?"
"Sure." She did just that. After pocketing the weapon, she held out her hand. "I'm Brynne. And this is Gryffin." She nodded toward the cat.
Kaiba shook her hand. "Seto Kaiba."
"Is Seto you're first or last name? I'm from America, and that's always confused me."
"Seto's my first, but I go by Kaiba."
They shook hands. At the touch, Brynne felt a shock running up her arm and to her heart. She let go, and backed away. Kaiba hadn't felt it.
He straightens up. "Now that we're properly introduced, are you sure you don't want to duel?"
Brynne's head snapped up so she can look at his face, eyes flashing. "All I know is your name." Her eyes narrowed. "And it might not even be real. But now isn't the best time." A spasm ran through her, leaving her shaking.
"Are you okay?" Kaiba asked. Not that he cared, he told himself.
"Fuck off, now. I can't do this right now." Brynne sank to the ground, leaning against the wall. Gryffin rubbed against her legs.
"But."
"Leave! Unless you want to talk to the knife again!" She was trembling.
Kaiba left. He didn't want to leave her in that condition, but she obviously didn't want his help. He vanished into the crowd.
Brynne waited for the shaking to stop, and took Gryffin in her arms. As she petted him, he purred.
"Oh, Gryff. Why does she have to decide now? I hardly know the guy, but she's telling me he's the one. I just don't understand it. At least he's a hottie, right?" The cat just kept on purring, but Brynne seemed to understand.

LOD: I know, I know. Kaiba's a little out of character, but it's my fic! I can make him dance around in a chicken costume singing to Brittany Spears if I wanted to!
Kahti: I think there is a fic where he does that.
LOD: I think there is too. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I am addicted to reviews-
Kahti: She keeps skipping the therapy for it.
LOD: _ I would love to hear what you think! See ya next chapter!
