Summary/Disclaimer:
Mai and Kaiba are invited to a special tournament far out in the middle of nowhere, but when they find out that they were tricked and in reality there is no tournament, they must find their way back home. Can Mai and Kaiba work together to get back to Domino City, or are they doomed to be lost, alone in the wild, forever? R&R please!

*one morning while Kaiba is sitting down at Kaiba Corp and sorting through some paperwork, Mokuba comes in with the mail.*
MOKUBA: Here's the mail, Seto, it arrived just a few minutes ago.
KAIBA: Anything good in there?
MOKUBA: I'm not sure, you'll have to see for yourself. *leaves room*
KAIBA: *flips through mail and stops when he sees a certain letter addressed to him. Kaiba tears open the seal, unfolds the letter, and starts to read to himself:*
Dear Mr. Seto Kaiba,
You are invited to participate in a new Duel Monsters tournament hosted by Lady Valkyra Dridoreai. A discussion of the rules and location of the tournament as well as a brief intro will be held at the Reina Spire, west of Domino City, at noon on the following Friday after the day you receive this letter. If you decide to participate, then we will be expecting you there along with all the other duelists. Please bring along the blue card enclosed with this letter. It will ensure your entry to the tournament.
With best regards,
Lord Dakat Dridoreai
Executive Manager of Tournament Affairs
KAIBA: *thinks to himself* Hmmm, another tournament? Well I guess it's about time, it's been ages since the last one. I hope Yugi's in this one, this time he'd better watch out because I don't plan on losing. So it's on the following Friday? That gives me plenty of time to prepare my deck. *laughs to himself as he looks at the blue card in the envelope* I don't think there's anyone who will be able to beat me this time. I wasn't made the Duel Monsters World Champion for nothing!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*the same morning, Mai is lounging on a couch in her apartment drinking coffee when the mailman brings the mail. She glances at and tosses a bill, and two advertisements, (one for pizza, and one for the local grocer), to the floor before she sees a letter addressed to Ms. Mai Valentine. Mai tears the envelope open and begins reading:*

MAI: *talking to herself* Reina Spire, eh? I think I've heard about that place before. It's supposed to be really expensive, but very far from here as well. I think I just might have to go by plane if I want to get there in time. And that will give me extra time to prepare my deck from home because this time I will end up as the champion of the tournament.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*two weeks later at the Reina Spire. Kaiba and Mai have both prepared their decks. Kaiba flew here with his personal jet. Since this isn't his tournament, and because he doesn't expect any trouble, Kaiba has left Mokuba in charge of Kaiba Corp for a month, or until Kaiba gets back, and he did not take any means of communication with him (such as a cell phone, radio, etc.). Mai bought a first-class one-way ticket on a plane bound for the airport nearest here. She rides a taxi the rest of the way from the airport. She plans on walking or hitchhiking to go home with later once the tournament is over, (she didn't have enough money at the moment for a round- trip ticket).*
KAIBA: *Steps off his jet and walks over to the entrance to Reina Spire, a very large and narrow building that is mostly all windows. The windows are tinted blue and it is impossible to see inside. Kaiba looks at the revolving doors. There is a "CLOSED" sign hanging from one of the handles on one of the doors.* Hmmm, so they reserved the whole thing just for an intro to the tournament? Probably just trying to flaunt off how rich they are. I'll just go in . . .
A GUARD: *runs over to Kaiba* Sir! Excuse me, Sir! *waves hand urgently at Kaiba.*
KAIBA: *mutters to himself* What does the stupid fool want? *out loud* Yes? What is it?
MAI: *walks over to the doors, and Kaiba and the guard. They don't seem to notice her right away, so Mai just stands there, listening.*
THE GUARD: I'm sorry Sir, but the Reina Spire is closed for the day . . . something about a bomb threat. I'm to make sure no one goes in there today.
KAIBA: Well I have an invitation.
THE GUARD: What kind of invitation?
KAIBA: An invitation to a tournament. The introduction is supposed to be held here today. Do you know anything of this?
THE GUARD: Huh? What tournament? The Reina Spire is used mainly for renting out offices and such for private business companies. I have a list of everything that was supposed to happen at the Spire today. There's nothing on a tournament.
MAI: Well, maybe the hosts of this tournament called it something else. Check if there's anything booked by Lady or Lord Dridoreai.
KAIBA: *looks surprised to see Mai come out of nowhere, but keeps quiet and ignores her*
THE GUARD: *checks over a big packet in his hand before saying:* Sorry folks, but I see absolutely nothing. Wait. . . . there is something. . . . . "Lady Valkyra Dridoreai rented a computer lab on the sixty-third floor a few weeks ago." Well, does that help?
MAI: No.
KAIBA: So then there is no tournament?
THE GUARD: I'm afraid not. Why don't you guys just go back home and try contacting your friends from there?
MAI: They're not exactly friends. I don't even know them, what about you? *looks at Kaiba for the first time and raises her eyebrows in question*
KAIBA: *decides not to answer Mai and turns to the guard.* You are serious then that there is no tournament? Should we wait for a couple of days to see?
THE GUARD: I'm sorry, but I cannot allow anyone to stay because of the threat. Unfortunately for you two, the nearest hotel is miles away. You may want to check into a day room at the airport.
KAIBA: No way I'm going back home. I'll just call my brother now tell him to send the jet.
MAI: Well good for you, I have no money with me. So I'm guessing I'll just have to camp out in the forest and walk back home. THE GUARD: Yes. I'm sorry but that's what you'll have to do. By the way, where do you live?
MAI: Domino City.
THE GUARD: WHAT? That's miles from here! Wouldn't the gentleman be so kind as to escort the lady back home?
MAI: Hey! Chill out, I don't need him. I've got provisions for a month with me and bottled water. I'll be fine, I'm used to being alone. Ciao! *walks away into the forest near Reina Spire.*
THE GUARD: *stands there staring speechlessly after Mai *
KAIBA: *grunts and tries taking out his cell phone. Remembers that he left it at home and curses. He looks to the guard, but the guard has already disappeared* Great, don't tell me I have to walk home too. Which stupid idiot had the idea to build such a grand spire in the middle of nowhere? There has to be another way to get home than to walk all the way through the forest. There is, isn't there? I don't even have any food with me. *pauses for a moment to think of a way to get home. When he realizes that there is none, since Reina Spire is really in the middle of nowhere, Kaiba curses again and walks toward the forest. It is almost dark now* I'll just sleep here for the night and decide what to do tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What will happen now? Will Kaiba need to ask Mai for food? Or will he have to live off berries in the forest? Or maybe, just maybe, will Kaiba figure out a way to get home faster?
Uh, I'll write more later, if I get some decent reviews.
(Note that there will be absolutely NO ROMANCE in this story. If you're expecting some, I will have to disappoint you, but I will make sure that this will be funny. I mean can you imagine Kaiba asking anyone for help? Let alone a girl . . . I'm not saying girls are weak or anything, it's just that I'd expect someone like Kaiba to think so. Well that all about to change . . . if you get what I'm saying. . . .)
