A few days later Cat received a call from Seto.
"It's finished." He said simply.
"You finished that game?" Cat asked. Seto nodded even though he knew she couldn't see.
"Yeah, ready to try it out?"
"Yeah!" Cat replied.
"How many players is it for?" she asked.
"Anywhere from two to six" Seto answered.
"And how many people are going in on this test run?" Cat asked.
"It was just going to be you and me."
"I think it would be more fun to have six people in the game." Cat said.
"Then who would you suggest to join us?" Seto asked.
"I bet Yugi and Joey would like to come." She said softly.
"You know how I feel about that mutt." Seto said trying to control his temper at the mention of Joey's name.
"I know." Cat said quickly. "But think how much fun it will be to beat him at the game." Cat said. Seto thought for a moment.
"Fine." He said. "Anyone else you want?"
"How about Mai?" Cat suggested.
"Whatever," was Seto's reply. "I'll send a limo over to pick you up soon."
"Alright, I'll see you soon then."
"Bye." Seto said as he hung up the phone. He wasn't looking forward to playing the game with Cat's brother and his dumb friends, but he wanted to make her happy so he agreed. He leaned back in his chair and smiled.
'They can just be on the opposing team.' He thought with a chuckle.

Marik was sitting in a chair brooding when a knock sounded on his door.
"Enter." He ordered as a man in a dark cape walked in to the room.
"Master Marik, I have news on Kaiba's game." The man said as he bowed at Marik's feet.
"What is that?" Marik asked.
"He is planning on testing out the game today. He is taking Cat and her brother, Joey, and Mai to test it out at one of his research labs." Marik nodded as he processed the information. He stood up silently as he looked at his Millennium Rod.
"Good work." He said as he walked out of the room. He knew exactly what he needed to do now. If he was going to get Cat then the first thing that he needed to do was drive a wedge between her and Seto. Then she would turn to him in sadness and he would be pharaoh. After all she was the reincarnation of the Pharaohs sister. So if he killed Yami and married Cat, then there would be no way for anyone to stop him from being pharaoh. Marik walked outside to his motorcycle as he put on his helmet. Yes, things were working out perfectly. Marik gave a smile as he started the bike and roared off.
