A/N Sorry it took so long to update. My computer crashed and still isn't running right. but hey.
I will have chapter 4 and hopefully 5 up before the week is out. Review and let me know what you think.
Thank you Tweak McFreak, yours was the first review. This chapter is dedicated to you.
oh yeah, the Kenshin Joke, in the japanese version, Kenshin always says 'ORO' when something happens, unless it is bad and his eyes narrow, then you just want to run.
Oops, forgot the disclaimer. Still don't own it.
Chapter 3
Kaiba's glare became on of promised instant death. Kiri sat down and leisurely started reading her spell book.
"You do know if it was me stuck there, you would have left me." She pointed out.
Kaiba's glare became one of promised instant death in an incredibly painful way.
"Glaring at me won't help. You just make me nervous and then I will babble and I may screw up and make it worse and then it will be all your fault." She smiled at him ever so sweetly.
"Don't worry, baby. I'm sure Kaiba-kun doesn't mind as long as you keep flashing your panties at him."
Kiri pulled at her skirt and glared at Muki. "Come mere draggy waggy, I have some nice flour for you."
"Dragon, shut up!" Kaiba growled at the dragon. "You, concentrate on what you are doing." He glared at Kiri.
"Yes, master." She murmured sarcastically and stood up.
"Ah I liked..."
"Shut up!" they yelled in unison.
Kiri walked over to Kaiba and placed her hand on his cheek and closed her eyes. "Spell of weaving let him be, free this one who is dear to me." She chanted. The bonds that held Kaiba dissolved and reformed behind him. "Someone had a warped sense of humor when they wrote this." She grumbled.
"Congratulations! Excellent! Kaiba-boy, Kiri-girl, you have defeated the first challenge. Amazing!" A bag appeared at Kiri's feet. "Just a little something to help you on your way. An incentive, you could say, for players to continue winning their battles."
The bandits themselves shimmered and vanished leaving them alone in the clearing. Kiri looked through the bag. "Let's see; food, a compass, bandages..." she looked slightly uneasy at them "...and a map. Hey how about some clothes here?" she challenged. Silence answered her. "Stupid males anyway," she grumped to herself. She pulled out the map and compass and stared at it blankly. Kaiba pulled it from her hand and studied it intently.
"Here you go, no problem. Don't mind me; I am just here for the scenery," she muttered.
"Actually baby, you are the scenery, and such a nice view it is." Muki grinned at her chest. Kiri just sighed and ignored him and continued muttering to herself.
"Argh!" she howled. "I am turning into a mutterer around you," she accused Kaiba. She turned back to the bag and pulled out the food for lunch.
"Hey, baby, any milk with that?"
She caught Muki by the nose and threw him across the clearing without even looking up. She handed Kaiba a sandwich. He absently ate it while studying the map. "Any ideas where to go now?" she asked and took a bite of her sandwich. Muki sat happily munching his sandwich out of Kiri's reach.
Kaiba folded the map and put it in his pocket. He turned and began walking away. "Come," his imperious voice ordered.
"Yes sir! Whatever you say, sir!" She grumbled and picked up the bag, "come on, Shigure, our fearless leader has spoken."
"Are there any high school girls when we get there?" he leered.
"Not any with low enough IQ's to laugh at your jokes," she retorted.
"Hey babe, you know you love me."
"Only in a good stew, you'd be too stringy as a steak."
Muki tried to look hurt and offended but Kiri walked off, ignoring him. He flew after her and landed on her shoulder. "Hey Kaiba-kun, do you know where we are going?" She asked, knowing full well she wasn't going to get an answer. Kaiba didn't disappoint as he continued walking and ignoring her. She walked along beside him for a while looking around. "You don't talk much, do you"? She observed. She continued walking and glancing around and back at him.
"Ne, ne,, Kaiba-kun, are we there yet?" Kiri asked in a sing-song voice.
They continued walking.
Now?"
They still continued walking.
"Now?"
Kaiba gritted his teeth and kept walking.
"Now?'
Kaiba scowled at her.
"Just asking" she smiled sarcastically.
They continued walking.
"Ne, Kaiba-kun?" Kaiba glared at her, challenging her to complete that sentence. Kiri whistled and glanced around at the scenery. "Just wondering if you were going to share the rest of your plan with us." She said in an innocent voice.
Kaiba stopped and stared at her. She batted her eyelashes and smiled.
