Chapter 4

Nodoka Comes Home
A person in a long black coat with a hood over their head walked through the city of Domino. The person walked into a very fancy Japanese restaurant and up to Seto Kaiba. "Kaiba!" The person slammed their hands on the table. "I challenge you to a Duel Monsters game!"

"Who ever you are, can't you see I'm on a date?" Kaiba growled.

The person turned around. "Mai Valentine?"

"Of course, who else would it be? Arilana Nodoka?" Mai laughed.

"What's wrong with this picture?" the person mumbled.

"If you will leave, I have a question to ask," said Kaiba.

"Oi vey. You're a fool, Kaiba." The person pulled out a gun and aimed it against Mai's head. "Don't put this off, Kaiba."

"Wait, don't! I'll play you! Just don't kill her," Kaiba said getting to his feet.

The person smiled. "Good." He/she shoved Kaiba infront and then grabbed Mai's shoulder. "Don't try anything funny, or she's dead."

The three walked to Kaiba Land and went to one of the dueling stations. Seto was on the blue side and the other was on the red. Mai was tied up and sitting in a chair. "Ready?"

"Let's Duel!"

They drew five cards. "Lookie lookie, I've got a cookie," said the person. "I'll mix these three cards with a Polymerization!"

"What?" Kaiba was shocked. "The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"

"You're an idiot," said the person.

"You took those four cards when you shoved me, didn't you?" Kaiba shouted.

"Ha! Took you a while."

"Who are you?" Kaiba asked.

"Drop to your knees and act like the little beaten dog you are!" the person said and laughed evilly.

"Joey?"

"Of course not."

"Then who?"

"You're a dolt."

"You want me to get down on my knees and beg? Fine!" Kaiba got down from the dueling station and walked over to the other one. He got down on his knees.

"You're depressing."

"What?"

"What do you see in that built up pile of smutty trash?"

"Don't talk about me like that! I'll get you!" Mai shouted.

"Shut up," said the person then looked back to Kaiba. "Is it that she puts out?"

"What? No!" shouted Kaiba.

"Ha! Be the little defeated dog you are!" said the person. Kaiba got on his hands and knees. "Say it! Say you are the little defeated puppy!"

"I. I am. I am the little defeated . I am the little defeated puppy." said Kaiba.

"Crawl." Kaiba began to crawl around.

"I am the little defeated dog."

"Oh, Kaiba." Mai said.

"Sit," said the person. Kaiba sat. "You are being granted one question." The person laughed.

"Who are you?"

"Call me what you wish," said the person flipping up their hood.

"Nodoka!" Seto said getting to his feet.

"Back on the floor!" she said aiming the gun at his head. He got back on the floor. "Do not speak."

"Nodoka!" Mai shouted. "Leave him alone."

"What are you going to do about it? You're tied to a chair," Nodoka said looking at Mai. She turned back around and Seto wasn't on the floor, he wasn't in sight. "Hah! Pathetic!" He came from the side of the dueling station and kicked Nodoka in the face. She fell into the arena and Seto landed next to her. Nodoka stood up and wiped the blood from the side of her mouth. "Not bad, Kaiba," Nodoka growled.

"What ever happened to you calling me Seto?" he asked.

"I found my brain in trashcan outside of the school," Nodoka grinned.

"You know you love me!" Seto said.

"Ha! You think you know me? You couldn't be more wrong."

"So, why'd you come back?" Seto asked.

"Work was boring. And Mira said you were marrying Mai."

"You were going to ask me to marry you?" Mai asked.

Seto growled loudly at Nodoka. "Damn you! It was going to be a surprise!"

Nodoka covered her mouth, and laughed. "So sorry. I guess I can't keep my mouth shut." She dropped her hand and looked to the side. Her gun was there. Seto notice her looking at it. At the same time they dove fore it. At the end, Nodoka had the gun aimed at Seto's head as he was sitting on her stomach. "Why did you do this to me?" Nodoka whispered. "You're a real creep." Nodoka shove him off of her and stood up. She took the clip out of the gun and threw it at him, and threw the gun off somewhere. She then turned and walked away.

Nodoka walked through the empty streets. She put the hood back over her head as the rain began to pour down. She bumped shoulders with someone in a trench coat. "Sorry," she said.

"Nodoka?"

Nodoka turned around. "Tristan! Hey!" the two of them shook hands. "Long time no see."

"Same to you," he said. "So how have you been?"

"Oh, same ole same ole." she said.

"Wanna get something to eat and catch up?"

"Sure, why not?"
