Epilogue

2 weeks later. Kaibaland

"Come on Kiri, we are going to miss it." A young boy whined as he pulled his sister's friend along.

"How come i have to come with you again. He is your little brother." Kiri glared good-naturedly at her friend. She was wearing a dark blue strappy dress and high heels that laced up her calves. Her friend just shook her head at her and smiled. "Because you are my friend, and you love me." Kiri just grimaced and sighed "your just lucky I do."

The brother in question grabbed both girl's hands and proceeded to drag them along. "Come on," he insisted "It is going to be over by the time we get there." Kiri gave her friend a rueful grin and laughingly followed the boy.

They got to the new attraction and a large crowd had gathered around. A roped off area held the crowd back from the invited players. He dragged them over to a clear section between the building and the ropes so that he could get a better look at some of his heroes.

The challenge had been issued by Kaiba for the best players in the game to come play in a tournament with his new VR game. He hadn't mentioned that he had won Yugi in this, but she figured that was because he wanted a rematch that didn't end in everyone getting toasted.

"You're late" a familiar, arrogant voice said behind her. Kiri jerked around and stared in amazement at Kaiba. He didn't even change his expression or tone as he repeated "you're late."

"Late?" Kiri parroted and blinked at him a few times, confused. "That's Mr. Kaiba" her friend's little brother jumped up and down in excitement at getting to see one of his heroes up close.

Kaiba leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and one foot propped against it. He was dressed in his usual black pants, black shirt, and white surcoat. He looked every inch the serious dueler and business man he was.

'Kiri," her friend gasped. "You didn't tell me you knew Mr. Kaiba." Her friend stared at him in worship and awe. She had had a crush on him since he was 16 and she was 15. "Don't you know he is one of the most eligible bachelors, President of Kaiba Corporation and..."

"And incredibly wealthy, powerful, gorgeous, annoying....I know already." Kiri finished flippantly.

"Kiri, don't be so rude." her friend gasped.

Kaiba pushed himself up with his foot and turned to walk away. "Let's go" he ordered.

"Wait a minute." Kiri's eyes flashed defiance. "What makes you think in any way, shape, or form that I am just going to do what you say," she stomped her foot and glared at him; hands clenched on her hips. Kaiba turned and gave her a very dangerous smile. Kiri's gaze faltered; suspicion creeping into her eyes. "You wouldn't" she stammered knowing full well he would. She scowled at him and sighed.

"I get clothes this time, right?" she asked in defeat.

Kaiba turned and started walking into the building again.

"I will catch up with you later," Kiri told her friend and then ran slightly to catch up with Kaiba. She walked next to him for a few minutes, just looking around.

"Ne, ne, Kaiba-kun, are we there yet?"

A/N I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Kaiba so deserves the abuse somedays.
