Chapter 3:

The next morning Seto got up really early to over hear the Pharaoh's conversation with the queen on what they were going to do that day. Seto walked out of his room and walked over to the Pharaoh's room and peered inside.

The Pharaoh and Queen were standing on the far side of the room talking.



"I have been challenged to a duel it will take place tonight." The Pharaoh said.

"Oh wonderful I'm sure that Seto and Yami would love to watch." The Queen said.

"No, I don't want them to watch. After what they did last night I don't think they should see another duel for a while." It's not like anyone was sent to the shadow realm! Seto thought grumpily.

"I understand and I agree with you." The queen said. Seto walked silently back to his room.



Well I'm going to go to that duel. Seto thought. I know where I can hide and no one will ever know that I was watching. Seto smiled.

Yami woke up an hour after Seto had and walked towards the dinning area. In the dinning area Pharaoh Akunumakanon, the Queen, Seto's mother, and Seto were already sitting down.

"Good morning." Yami said rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning Yami." The Pharaoh said. "Yami come sit down we all need to talk about something."



"Sure, Father." Yami said and sat down next to Seto.

"Now, as you all know I have another meeting today and I would like you two to play outside today." Pharaoh Akunumkanon said.

"Why?" Seto asked.

"Because I am going to be using both of our meeting rooms today."

"Oh, okay." Seto said.



After breakfast Seto and Yami went outside to meet up with Mahado, Karim, Shadi, and especially Ishizu. After waiting a few minutes the four children arrived in the palaces yard. Karim and Mahado in front followed by Shadi and behind him was Ishizu.

"Get out of the way!" Seto yelled at the boys. The boys quickly moved around Seto. "Ishizu! What were you thinking last night?"

"I...I...was only doing what I thought was right." Ishizu answered.

"Well didn't you know that we would be very angry with you?" Seto asked.

"Yes I did know that but still think about it, Seto! What if you had finished that duel? One of you would have gone to the shadow realm, FOREVER!" Ishizu yelled back.

"That's what we wanted!" Yami snapped.

"I'm sorry!" Ishizu cried.

"No your not! I'm sure your happy that we are both still here!" Seto yelled.

"Yes your right!" Ishizu admitted.

"And you'll tattle on us again if we try to duel won't you?" Seto asked.

"Yes I will your right! Why don't you two fight when you are older when you can fight! When I don't need to stop you?" Ishizu asked.

"Humph. C'mon then let's go do something." Seto said turning away from Ishizu. Seto walked forward and Mahado, Karim, and Shadi followed. Yami however walked back to Ishizu.

"Aren't you coming Ishizu?" He asked. "Don't you want to play?"

"I suppose, but Yami did you really want Seto in the shadow realm?" Ishizu asked.

"Yes I did." Yami answered.

"Why?" Ishizu asked.

"I said I DID I don't any more." Yami snapped.

"Oh, why is that?" Ishizu asked.

"Because you said that the loser would stay in the shadow realm forever no one ever told me that." Yami said.

"I see. Well now you know so let's go." Ishizu said happily now that she knew that he didn't really want Seto in the shadow realm this made her happier.

They began to run to catch up with the others.

"If Seto had finished that attack I would have gone to the Shadow realm forever! I'm not sure that I ever want to duel again." Yami thought.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

That night after dinner Seto and Yami were sent to bed, since Akunumakanon didn't want them to watch the duel. In Seto's room Seto was preparing a plan to sneak out to see the duel when he had come up with the perfect plan he left his room and walked quietly down the hall past the queens room and then past Yami's room.

Yami saw Seto walking down the hall so he ran out of his room and grabbed Seto's shoulder.



"Where are you going?" Yami demanded. Seto put a hand over Yami's mouth.

"Sh!" Seto snapped. "Since you'll just tattle on me I guess I'll let you tag along." Seto said.

"Really? Where are we going?" Yami asked excitedly.

"Be quieter! We are going to go watch your father duel." Seto explained.

"Why didn't father tell me about it?" Yami asked.

"Well I was spying on your parents this morning and they were talking about how bad we were and that we shouldn't see another duel for awhile." Seto explained.

"Oh."

"Now you must learn to be quieter and just follow what I do and then maybe we won't get caught." Seto said.

"Okay, sure." Yami agreed. Yami and Seto walked down to the bottom floor of the palace where they held duels.



"Now this is where it gets tough, Yami." Seto said. "Just follow everything I do, okay?" Yami nodded. Seto ran behind all of the audience being careful not to run into any of them Yami followed after Seto doing everything he had done.

"Seto?" Yami whispered.

"What?" Seto asked.

"Where are we going aren't we just going to stay here with the rest of the audience?" Yami asked being as quiet as possible.

"No we are going up there." Seto said pointing up to where there was a wooden ledge that was perfect for hiding and watching the duel. Seto and Yami walked quietly over to a ladder, which lead up to the ledge.



"Look your dad looks like he is about to lose, Yami!" Seto said. On the field the Pharaoh had a Kuribo on the field while the challenger had a Red Archery Girl on his side of the field.

"My dad isn't going to lose!" Yami snapped.

"Well what would happen if that Archery girl attacked?"

"Kuribo would die."

"Yes but is very Kuribo strong?"

"Not really."



"Exactly. Now Yami watch."

"Alright my Archer go attack his Kuribo!" The challenger ordered. The red archery girl pulled it's bow back and then let go the bow flew right towards the Kuribo!

I really wanted to end this chapter on a cliffhanger. ^_^ So will Kuribo survive? Will the Pharaoh lose? Who knows? I do! I'll update soon! :-D
