Kyara giggled at Kaiba's idle threat to the world. "Oh, really?"
Seto smiled and walked with her back to the school. "Hey, don't I owe you a dance?" he asked.
"Do you?" Kyara replied. "The Great Seto Kaiba wishes to dance with ME? No, Seto, to be honest, I'm not a good dancer."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Well..." a mischievious glint arose on Kyara's eyes. "I would like to duel you!"
Kaiba kissed her cheek softly before walking through the gym's double doors. "All right then."
Inside, Ryo was shocked to see Kaiba stride into the party with Kyara by his side. "Wow," he mused to Yugi. "Te'a really knocked some sense into Kaiba."
"I don't think so," Yugi toyed with his Dark Magician wand. "I believe Te'a just gave Kaiba the push he needed to tell Kyara how he really felt."
Ryo squinted at the pair as they seated themselves at a table. "Hey! It looks like they're about to...duel!"
Nearby, Joey and Tristan started at Ryo's words. "A duel? Where?!"
* * *
"Maybe we should have dueled somewhere else, Seto." Kyara observed as they began to shuffle their respective decks. "A crowd's beginning to gather."
"Too late for regrets." Kaiba replied. "Besides, let's show them a duel they won't likely be able to forget."
Kyara nodded. "So...how about we put up a prize?"
"A prize?" Kaiba raised a quizzical eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"If you win, I'll give you a prize of your choice."
"Tempting." Kaiba said slowly. "And what if you win?"
"If I win..." Kyara bit her lip thoughtfully. "Well, I would like to have that Shadow Spell card of your's."
"Shadow Spell? You don't desire the Blue-Eyes?"
"Not really."
Seto Kaiba extended a hand. "Agreed."
Kyara placed her cards down onto the deck zone. "Ready."
Her opponent did the same and drew six cards. "Let's see," Kaiba scrutinized his hand thoughtfully. "I'll put this Magic card face-down and play Rude Kaiser in attack mode!"
Kyara picked up three Magic cards and placed them in the designated Magic / Trap card area. "Three face-down cards. Then, I'll play this Monster face down in defense mode."
"I'll attack your defense Monster." Kaiba declared.
Kyara grinned as she turned the card over. "Oh, too bad. The Man-Eater bug. If you flip it over, it gets to automatically destroy one Monster. So your Rude Kaiser gets destroyed along with it."
"Dang." Kaiba drew a card from his deck. He smirked when he saw it. "Go! La Jinn, the Mystical Genie of the Lamp."
Kyara slammed down a Monster card. "I play this! Goblin Strike Team! It has an attack strength of 2300. I destroy your La Jinn."
Kaiba's life points were down to 1500.
"Nice move." he said plainly. "I counter your Goblins with the Legendary-"
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Kyara finished. "Of course."
"Right. Then I attack your Goblin Strike Team."
"Not so fast, Kaiba." Kyara picked up her card. "It has a magical effect. When attack by any Monster, this card automatically switches to defense mode."
"So it gets destroyed still, but with no effect to your life points." Kaiba grumbled.
Kyara placed two cards on the board. "I play these two Monsters in defense mode. Then," she reached down to one of the cards she had placed down earlier. "I activate my Trap card, Two-Pronged Attack! It allows me to destroy one of your Monsters by sacraficing two of mine."
"Well played." Kaiba drew another card. "But here, my second Blue-Eyes!"
"Oh wow, the second one." Kyara commented. "Then I play Dark Hypnotist: Lucifer in attack mode."
Kaiba snorted when he saw the card. "You've gotta be kidding me. That thing's attack is 1500! It can't even defend itself against the ferocity of the Blue-Eyes!"
"True." Kyara tapped the Dark Hypnotist absently. "But this one ALSO has a magical effect. When I play this Monster face up, one of your Monsters can't attack as long as its on the field."
"Ah, so you played it just to disable my Blue-Eyes, didn't you?"
"Yep."
"Why do so many of your cards have magical effects?" Kaiba asked in exasperation.
"Why do you get three Blue-Eyes?!" Kyara countered.
Kaiba placed a Magic card face down. "Because I'm the World Champion." he said with a grin.
"My turn, right?" Kyara put down three Monster cards. "I'll put these in defense mode in order to draw three cards."
Triumphantly, Kaiba turned over a card. "Then I activate my Trap card, Just Desserts! It takes away 500 of your life points for every Monster you have on the field!"
Kyara slapped herself. "Damn."
Kaiba rose from his seat. "Good game."
Reaching up, Kyara shook Seto's outstretched hand. "Yea."
"Oh, Kyara," Seto said slowly. "What about my prize?"
Seto smiled and walked with her back to the school. "Hey, don't I owe you a dance?" he asked.
"Do you?" Kyara replied. "The Great Seto Kaiba wishes to dance with ME? No, Seto, to be honest, I'm not a good dancer."
