Seto Kaiba strode over to the mysterious girl. Her black hair fell neatly
to her waist and her emerald green eyes looked curious as he approached.
Yugi Moto was sitting on the bench beside her with a look of anger clearly
dancing on his face.
Nekomi toyed with a strand of hair, her head turned slightly away from Kaiba. "Greetings, Seto," she said as he came to a stop in front of her.
Seto brushed her greetings off with a shrug and did not inquire why she knew his name, for he was, after all, the best duelist in the world. He was a bit confused, however as to who she was, for her duel disk registered as 'Weevil Underwood' and she clearly was not that second rate duelist wannabe. "Who are you?" He demanded coldly.
"No one of importance."
Seto's eyes flashed dangerously, "If it is true that you hold the third Egyptian God card, then you are someone of importance. I challenge you to a duel for the Winged Dragon of Ra!"
Nekomi inspected her nails on her left hand. "No thanks."
He looked shocked and enraged. "The rules clearly state that-"
"I know the rules of the tournament, Seto, but unfortunately for you, I am not a part of this tournament and do not have to abide by your rules."
Seto's face took on a purple hue, all the more infuriated by her apparent lack of respect. Before he could so much as open his mouth, she stood, looking slightly annoyed. "Good day to you, Mr. Kaiba."
She strode off at a comfortable pace, clearly aware that both Yugi and Seto's eyes were following her. As she disappeared from sight, Seto turned on Yugi.
"What did you say to her? Who is she? Where did she come from? How do you know her? How did she get the third Egyptian God card? ANSWER ME!" His eyes flashed with an exceeding amount of arrogance and fury.
"I don't know." Yugi's eyes remained on the spot under a tree where Nekomi was last visible.
Seto, seeing Yugi was distracted, rounded on him and grabbed him by the collar. "I told you to ANSWER ME! I know you know Yugi, it does no good to pretend anymore."
His eyes snapped and refocused on Kaiba's wind blown hair and cold clear eyes. "Unhand me Kaiba!"
"Why should I Yugi?" But he released him just the same and Yugi fell, landing gracefully on his feet.
"I don't know anything about her, we were just talking and that is none of your business Kaiba!"
Kaiba sneered viciously. "'None of your business'," he drawled in a mocking voice, "Oh, I see what's going on here. Deny it all you want Yugi, you're sweet on her!"
Yugi smiled secretively, "Think what you will, you'll get no answer from me." With that, he turned and strode away to do some serious thinking.
No doubt, this new girl, Nekomi? Did she say her name was? Was a very intriguing person. She was very pretty and knew it well. She also had a 'no care' attitude that drew in her audience though also upset Kaiba, which was a bonus. Not many people had the courage to wage verbal war with the owner of a powerful company.
He wasn't sure he wanted to like any girl, but still remembered well the feeling of joy he felt when she talked.
Yugi came out of his thoughts abruptly. Why would Nekomi like him, anyway? A beautiful, brave girl like her was bound to already be seeing someone.
"Hey Yugi!" Joey waved from across the street.
"Hi Joey! Looks like we met a little earlier then planned," Yugi said happily as he crossed to his best friend. Téa was no where to be seen. "Where'd Téa go?"
Joey grinned smugly, "She got asked out by some guy."
"Oh really?! Who?"
"I dunno. She seemed to have known him from some time before, though."
"Huh? What do you mean?" He looked a little confused, Téa had never mentioned having met anyone before.
"Well, she already knew his name and when he came over she squealed and jumped up to give him a hug." Joey cringed at the memory, "She's LOUD."
"Well, you know Téa..."
"Yug, I gotta go, k? I'll still meet you down by the docks later-"
"That's okay, Joey, I think I'll just go see if Grandpa needs any help with the store." Yugi smiled, distractedly.
"Oh, okay."
The two friends parted and went their separate ways, both buried in thoughts they could not control. Both dwelled on Téa's new mysterious friend, as well as a new stranger they had met. It seemed that Kaiba's tournament was drawing a larger crowd then most people had thought.

K, guys, read and review for now, but I could really use some ideas, ya know? Having a kinda sloooow day and ideas could always help. Plus, if no one really likes this, I might just choose to delete the whole thing anyway and not have to add more, though it is really fun writing this. Well what do you think?
