Okay, I have always wanted to write something like this, so thanks to FanFiction.Net for making my dream possible!
"And by the way, this chapter starts our story from the episode where Kaiba kidnaps Yugi's Grandpa to get the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon…only this time things work out differently…"

Chapter One: Who The Hell Is SHE?
One afternoon after school…
Yugi's grandpa was waiting at the counter when Yugi and his friends walked in. "Hi, Grandpa!"
Yugi's Grandpa nodded absentmindedly. "Brought your friends to look at some more cards again, Yugi?"
The spiky-haired youth grinned. "Yep! Oh, by the way, what was that thing you were looking for this morning?"
"Just a rare card I got a couple of years back," Grandpa replied. "Do you want to see it?"
Everyone nodded eagerly.
"Okay, then…"
Grandpa brought out a small glass case. Inside, on a bed of velvet, was a rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Wow!" Joey, one of Yugi's friends, gaped. "How much is it?"
Grandpa chuckled. "You'll need a lot more than your pocket money to buy one, Joey, Because this is one of only four in the world."
Right then, a limo pulled up outside the shop and a tall brunette with piercing blue eyes walked in.
`Wait a minute…isn't that Seto Kaiba? The Duel Monsters World Champion?'
Kaiba went up to Grandpa and told him he could name any price he wanted for the card.
"It's not for sale."
~*~ Yugi's POV ~*~
I guess Kaiba must have been kinda frustrated at that. He slammed his briefcase down on the counter and opened it. Inside were the most rare cards I've ever seen in my life. Everyone else gaped. "I'll trade all of these for that Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Grandpa just shook his head. "You're too late. I've already made a deal with someone else."
Just then, another customer entered the shop. When I saw her, the first thing that sprang to mind was that she could have been Kaiba's sister. Same brown hair, same blue eyes, heck, even the same attitude.
I knew she wasn't Kaiba's sister, though.
It was one of his main business rivals.
I heard Kaiba gasp behind me.
"You!"
Then I realised who it was.
It was Rika Starfire.
The CEO of Starfire Industries.
~*~ Normal POV ~*~
Rika walked in and up to the counter. She was roughly Kaiba's height, although that was mainly due to the fact she was wearing a pair of those black high heels that went up to just above the ankle. Also, she wore a pair of black casual trousers and a black, close-fitting long-sleeved top. Around her waist was a black leather belt with a silver buckle shaped like a wolf head. To complete the outfit she wore a black trenchcoat with no collar and a silver, heart-shaped locket around her neck.
Rika strode confidently up to counter and took four cards out of her deck. "I take it the deal is still on?"
Grandpa nodded, handing her the Blue Eyes. Rika laid the four cards she was holding out on the counter. Everyone stared. "Three Shadowlands Vraal cards and a Three-Headed Vraal!" Joey exclaimed. "I thought there were only six Shadowlands Vraal in the world and two Three-Headed Vraal! Why would you want to give up four rare cards for just one?"
"We had a deal," Rika stated bluntly. "And it doesn't matter to me. I've got the other three Vraal and their fused form."
Joey nearly fainted at that. "How in the world is that possible?"
Rika turned to leave. "I trust you will be treating those cards carefully, Mr. Motou." She flashed a quick wink before exiting the shop.
Yugi looked around. "Hey, where did Kaiba go?"
Joey and Tristan didn't answer, both being too busy staring out the door Rika had just exited.
Tea shrugged. "Dunno, but I'm sure he'll be feeling pretty sore about that."
None of them had any idea just how desperate Kaiba was to get his hands on the last Blue-Eyes White Dragon…
The next day at school…
"Hey, Yuge!" Joey Wheeler ran up to his best friend, panting and out of breath. "Did ya hear? Kaiba…he challenged…Rika…to a duel…for the last Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Yugi's eyebrows shot up. "What?!"
Tristan nodded, coming to a halt just behind the blonde. "It's true! I heard it myself!"
The spiky haired youth gulped. "We've got to go watch the duel!"
\Yami, do you think Rika's going to win?\
/I can't say for sure, but I feel a strong energy force from her./
\Could it be another Millenium Item?\
/Possibly. We should keep an eye out./
That afternoon, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea all met at the place where Kaiba and Rika were to have their duel. Outside, they were greeted by a girl who had auburn hair and light blue eyes. "Hi! I'm Kanami, Rika's sister!"
Yugi introduced himself and his friends.
"Nice to meet you. My sister should be here soon…she was just complaining to me on her mobile that another idiot has mucked something up again…"
There was a blue-white flare of light and a black dragon/dinosaur-like creature landed in front of them, lowering Rika to the ground. "Thanks, Fury."
Fury rumbled.
Rika turned to the others. "Yugi? What are you all doing here?"
"We came to watch," Yugi replied.
A brown moth fluttered out from Rika's trenchcoat and transformed into a snarling black panther, fangs bared. It calmed down when it saw Kanami, though it kept a wary eye out for any arriving limos. "Vega, calm down," Rika told it. "You're making me nervous."
"Vega's her daemon," Kanami explained.
Just then, the same limo that had taken Kaiba to the Game Shop pulled up and Kaiba got out.
Vega hissed.
Kaiba looked mildly surprised at the big cat standing in front of Rika, but said nothing, instead leading the way to the dueling arena.
Both duelists took their places on the arena, Rika coaxing Vega into watching from the sidelines.
Kaiba:2000
Rika:2000
Rika went first. "I place two cards face down and summon Harpie's Brother(1800/600) in attack mode."
Kaiba drew. "I summon Vorse Raider(1900/1200) in attack mode! Vorse Raider, destroy Harpie's Brother!"
Rika smirked. "Activate Mirror Wall! This card cuts any attacking monster's attack power in half!"
Kaiba's Vorse Raider was destroyed.
Kaiba: 1150
Rika:2000
Rika drew. "I summon Ancient One of the Deep Forest(1800/1900) and switch both monsters into defense mode."
Kaiba looked at his next card and smirked. "I play Cyclone, destroying your Mirror Wall, and use Flute of Summoning Dragons to call forth two Blue-Eyes White Dragons!(3000/2500)"
"####," Rika muttered.
`At least he can't attack me this turn…'
Rika drew her next card and sighed in relief. "I play Swords Of Revealing Light! This stops your monsters from attacking for three turns."
[Rika, do you need me to take over?]
{Nah, I'll be fine. I think I have a good strategy worked out.}
[All right, just call if you need help.]
Kaiba drew. "I pass."
`Even with her Swords of Revealing Light in play, I doubt she can draw a monster with high enough attack power to defeat my Blue Eyes.'
Rika drew and smiled. "I play the ritual magic card Scroll of Unsealing, allowing me to sacrifice both my monsters on the field plus one more from my hand to summon the all-powerful Lord Jahbal the Eyrie Wizard!(6000/5000)"
`Oh crap.'
Yugi stared. "How can there even be a monster with 6000 attack points?"
Rika smirked. "But wait, that's not all! I use Jahbal's special effect to summon the five elemental dragons by sacrificing him! Say hello to Fire Dragon(9000/8000), Ice Dragon(9000/8000), Shock Dragon(9000/8000), Life Dragon(9000/8000) and Spectral Dragon(9000/9000)!"
Yugi and friends very nearly fainted.
Kaiba stared in horror. `So that's what she was stalling for…I'm doomed…'
"Luckily for you, I can't attack this turn. So you still have a chance to save yourself. If you're lucky."
Kaiba groaned. "Switch all monsters into defense mode."
Rika snorted. "Like that's going to help…Fire, and Shock Dragons! Destroy all monsters on the field!"
The dragons obliged.
"Now! Spectral, Life and Ice Dragons! Attack Kaiba's life points directly!"
Kaiba nearly fell off the dueling station from the force of the attack.
Kaiba: -26150
Rika:2000
"Whoa!" Joey exclaimed. "She beat Kaiba without even losing any life points!"
Rika grinned, jumping down from the dueling station. Vega immediately leapt out to greet her, purring, and Fury rumbled in acknowledgment.
"So, who needs a ride home?"
