DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH (wish I did) SO DON'T SUE ME. ALL I'VE GOT IS A FEW RUBBISH CARDS AND MY LUNCH MONEY FOR THE WEEK!
Sorry for this Kaiba fans, but I got tired of seeing Kaiba gloat over his victories against Joey and run him down all the time and I felt it was time for the tables to be turned. Don't kill me, please. The idea was my best mate's anyway, and she's a Joey fan!

"Mr. Kaiba sir, it's time for your duel with Joey Wheeler""Let's get this over with!"
Kaiba strode out to the Duel Arena where a crowd had gathered, waiting to see the duel between the World Champion and the challenger for his title, former holder of the title himself.
"Ready to go down Wheeler?"
"You wish Kaiba!"
A suited employee came up behind Kaiba.
"Mr. Kaiba sir. You do realise that if you lose this duel then your company will belong to Joseph Wheeler?"
"Yes, I realise that. Which is why I intend to win this match."
He strode up to his place on the arena and aced the blonde haired boy on the other side. He scowled as Joey Wheeler stuck his tongue out and pulled his bottom eyelid down.
"Is this a duel or a face pulling contest?"
"You're just sulking 'cos I beat ya last time."
"That, Wheeler, was a fluke."
"Sour grapes Kaiba. I get first move!"
"Go on then!"
"I play...Gearfried the Iron Knight...in Attack Mode! I also play two cards face down and end my turn!"
"Fine...I play Spear Dragon in Attack Mode! I attack your Iron Knight!"
"I play Block Attack!"
"Oh...crap!"
"Yeah Kaiba, crap!!!"
"I end my turn!"
"Fine. I play Alligator Sword in Attack Mode. I equip this Big Bang Shot Card to Alligator Sword, and use him to attack your Spear Dragon! I then attack your Life Points with Gearfried the Iron Knight!"
The dragon on Kaiba's side of the field shattered into a cloud of a million sparkly pieces as Alligator Sword struck at it with his sword. Seconds later Gearfried attacked Kaiba directly, stabbing him straight in the chest. He reeled backwards, clutching at the point where he'd been hit. The counter on his arm rang as the digits spun down. It stopped at 300. The start count had been 4000.
"I can't believe you wiped out 3700 of my Lifepoints!!!"
"If you'd agreed to Duelist Kingdom rules then you'd only have 100 Kaiba, so stop complaining!"
"My turn mutt! I play Vorse Raider in attack mode and destroy Gearfried!"
"You wish rich boy. I activate my face down card...Rush Recklessly. It increases the attack of one of my monsters by 700 for one turn. Which is all I need to destroy you. Gearfried...counter attack...wipe out Vorse Raider and the rest of Kaiba's Lifepoints."
The face down card flipped up, revealing the image of a wild boar, which entered Gearfried. Gearfried then slashed out at Vorse Raider, destroying him. The counter on Kaiba's arm dropped to 0. He dropped to his knees, disbelief clouding his face, his hand falling face up on the arena floor. Joey picked up the cards he'd dropped.
"Lord of Dragons, Flute Of Summoning Dragon, Crush Card, Hyozanryu and Blue Eyes White Dragon. How typical Kaiba."
"What do you know Wheeler. You're just an amateur who got lucky. You shouldn't even be here."
"You've been saying that ever since Duelist Kingdom ten years ago and I'm still here. When are you gonna admit that I'm as good a Duelist as you, or even better."
"You will never be as good as me!"
"You problem is that you care too much about yourself and too little about others."
"What?"
"Why do you think Mokuba left you?"
"How...dare...you...mention...Mokuba...to...me?"
"He left you because you didn't care. All you ever did was work. You never played with him or cared for him as you should have done!"
Kaiba stopped. His head dropped as he thought back to the day when Mokuba left him: exactly two years ago.
-
Mokuba was standing in front of his brother's desk, fists clenched as he yelled at the young man sitting behind it.
"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS WORKING SETO?"
"Because I have to Mokuba!"
"WE HAVEN'T SPENT ONE DAY TOGETHER SINCE BEFORE DUELIST KINGDOM! THAT WAS SIX YEARS AGO!"
"I have to work today Mokuba. We'll go out next weekend!"
"NEXT WEEKEND WILL BE TOO LATE! I'M LEAVING!"
"Whatever!"
Kaiba barely looked up as Mokuba slammed the office door. When he got home later that evening Mokuba was nowhere to be found. He'd not seen his brother since, or had a letter from him.
-
"Just take your prize card Wheeler and go!"
"Okay. Just remember that KaibaCorp is mine now. You have till midnight to clear out your desk."
"Can I keep my house?"
"That belongs to KaibaCorp, so...NO!"
Joey took the Blue Eyes White Dragon and placed it in his deck. He then turned his back on Kaiba and strode away, not stopping to look back on the once proud businessman who was now kneeling on the arena floor.
'That used to be me after a duel like this. I used to be his 'puppy dog', his 'mutt'. Let's see how he likes it'
-
Two Years later
'I can't believe I'm on the streets begging for money. All I see on the television and hear on the radio is that mutt Wheeler and his geek friends. Even Mokuba's better off than I am. Wheeler's still CEO of KaibaCorp, now Wheeler Industries, Mokuba has reestablished KaibaCorp but it isn't as successful, Moto is still King Of Games and is recognised as the best player of Duel Monsters and Dungeon Dice Monsters in the World, Tea is...'
"Hey, you! Get away from here you filthy tramp!"
Kaiba ran as a storeowner armed with a shotgun chased him. He understood why this guy was so angry. Some of Marik and Bakura's gang members stole from here a lot. He failed to notice the fast moving motorbike on the road in front of him. There was the screech of tyres as the pillion passenger drew the rider's attention to him. Everything went black as the bike hit him and a girl screamed.
"Who'd we hit Tristan?"
"Looks likes some homeless guy. Let's turn him over Serenity."
Kaiba felt nothing as he was turned over. The only thing that was different now was that he could see the sky. He could also see the riders of the bike that hit him.
"Hey Serenity, look who it is."
"Hi Kaiba"
Kaiba tried to say 'hi' back but couldn't. He couldn't say or move anything. His vision was blurring as Serenity pulled out a cellphone. He gasped as his body shuddered and his heart stopped.
-
"Wake up Seto! Stop screaming!"
"Where am I?"
"We're at the office Seto. You fell asleep at your desk. Again."

There it was. Thanks to my best mate Jenny for giving me the whole 'Kaiba losing his company' idea. Please read and review. Ideas for other tortures are welcome.
