Chapter 4
"Its time to duel"
Please bare with me here… I cannot remember how the entire Duelling process works even though I watched Yugioh Avidly before they took it off in this country err(I'm usually too busy gazing at the characters and the stories behind the duels)
NOTE: This chapter is broken into two parts.(its easier to follow that way and saves uploading every single document!)
By parts I mean like chapters NOT paragraphs. I have beenfixed my no paragraph problem so the story is now easier to read.....
Still got a concern? Review! I listen and Reply too...
Scene: 9.01pm outside the K.C blimp. Seto has his duel disc wrapped around his left arm as does Jounuchi (Joey) To most on lookers (Tea, Tristan, Duke and Bakura) The duel was in the bag and Seto had already won. Well considering the fact that Seto had not lost a Duel to Joey ever, then there was the fact that the only duel he had failed miserably too was the one against Yami another reason he had to win and get off the island to plan his next strategy against Yugi. (For those of you who have seen the movie you know that kaiba goes head to head with Yugi for his own gain and uses a very powerful card known as the "Pyramid of Light") Kaiba glances at the cards in his decks and smirks proudly. Even the cards in his deck which he considers not very useful are better than Joey's greatest cards.
The duel begins and both opponents start with 2000 life points. For whatever reason decided, Joey starts first. "You better watch it pal" he warns as he pulls out five cards. Seto rolls his eyes without a hint of worry in his demeanour. Joey chooses his Baby dragon card which proves useless as Seto destroys it with his mystical elf in seconds. Joey keeps his hopes up and continues to play somewhat okay monsters. "Please Wheeler you can never defeat me" Seto snarls as the rain starts to fall on his pale face. Seto looks pretty smug as the duel progresses and Joey's life points decrease rapidly in front of him. Joey looks away from Seto's evil smirks he is making and closes his eyes. "I can't lose her again" he whispers to himself sadly. Tea can see the pain in Joey's stance. "You can do it Joey" she yells. "Yeah go for it man" Tristan and Duke both cheer. Joey opens his eyes and smiles in his friend's direction. "Seto I have something you will never have" he confidently says looking straight at the serious young CEO. "Yes Wheeler I know you have a few pathetic cheerleaders" Seto replies coolly. "The fact remains you are not duelling for your idiotic pals" "you are duelling for someone more important than friends or at least that is how I see it". Seto seems pretty smug at what he had just said.
"Kaiba you will never know what real love is because you can not even establish a friendship with any one let alone Mai" Joey snaps back. Tea and the three guys standing aside her all listen intently to the verbal abuse that the two strong opponents are giving each other. "This is getting interesting" Bakura quietly says so the rest can not hear him. "Enough chat lets finish this now" Seto raises his voice and pulls out his Blue Eyes White Dragon which he is finally able to use. Surprisingly Joey does not look in the least bit worried. "Ha it won't work this time Kaiba" Joey yells back through the cold rain. He holds up his "Card of Sanctuary" in front of a stunned Kaiba. "This card lets me pick any monster from your graveyard which I can use for my next move" Joey proudly boasts. "I know what it does Wheeler" Seto snarls back, a little disheartened. "Oh then you will also know that this little baby blocks my life points from any attacks you will make" Joey replies smartly. "I am surprised you know how to use it Wheeler" Seto sneers, hiding his secret fear of actually losing this duel for once. "You know since you have absolutely no intellect whatsoever".
Joey just laughs. "Say all the fancy words you want Kaiba I am gonna mop the floor with you at last". Joey prepares to use his card and summons Seto's celetic warrior. He would have preferred Kaiba's BEWD but that card was not in the graveyard. "I guess that's the best card of Kaiba's from the grave I can use well for now anyway" Joey thinks to himself as he looks at the banished card of Seto's. The fact that the next attack Kaiba would make will be useless against Joey, Wheeler goes straight for Seto's life points with his new card and Seto winces as his points decrease.
The time was now 11.30 and to Seto (and Everyone's) utter shock, Joey is in the lead with 200 more life points than Seto. A fluke? Sheer brilliance? Who knew? What was certain was that crunch time was coming and it was now any ones game. Tea then intervenes between the two. "Okay you two we are going to have to break it up until tomorrow" she says, with her clothes soaked in rain water. "What?" Joey yells. "I'm creaming this guy" he protests. Seto just gives Joey a look of pure disgust and agrees to continue the duel bright and early tomorrow morning. This was actually a good thing for Seto which is why he did not jump up and down like Wheeler did about continuing on the next day. This would give him time to work out a quick strategy to finish that blonde chump off for good and get off this dreaded island with Mai Valentine. "Relax Joe" Tristan pats Wheeler on the head. "The scores will be kept and everything will resume as it was tonight". "Yeah only it will be tomorrow and not today" Bakura adds a little dumbly. They all give him a funny look. "What?" "I am very tired" he replies, yawning in his defence. The group all walk inside and back to there separate bedrooms. Seto trails slowly behind. Joey goes to knock on Mai's door when Tea and the guys stop her. "Hey" he growls, trying to push his way past Tea and Tristan who are holding his arms back. "No one is going to visit Mai" Tea sternly says. "Otherwise it's not fair". "Oh come on like she is really going to choose Mr Dick head Kaiba" Joey groans. Yugi and Serenity pop out of Mai's room and try to calm Joey down. "What were you two doing in there?" Joey asks angry that he can not even say good night to his beloved crush. "Mai is going to sleep now Joey and so should you" Yugi hushes. "We heard what happened with the duel" he adds. "Yeah great job" Serenity smiles at her big brother. Joey humbly looks at the floor. "Yeah well you know" he says pretty proudly. "Ha so much for Mr humble" Duke Jokes. "Guys we better all get some sleep" Tea suggests. The group then all walk along the corridor and into their rooms. Serenity and Tea are sharing a room as are Tristan and Duke. "Hopefully we'll all be outta here tomorrow anyway" Bakura says, closing his door behind him. "Ill say" Tristan sighs a little bored. "Goodnight everyone" Yugi calls out. "Good night" everyone replies. Everyone except Kaiba and Mokuba who are in their large double rooms.
The Midnight Kiss
Seto is not asleep though. He's devising a strategy to beat Joey. The professional duellist is quite taken back by Joeys duelling and can not take any chances, not when the duel is so close to being over. Seto places all of his cards on to the large velvet floor and thinks. His thoughts trail off to Mai, the only girl whom he had ever taken notice of. Mai had a very similar personality to the handsome CEO and her charisma and feisty charm attracted Seto in a way no female has before. Off course many have tried to get in with Seto Kaiba but many had also failed as Seto was not the type of guy to worry about being too offensive even if that meant telling an admiring girl to back off.
"Why did you let your pride get in the way?" he says ever so quietly to himself. "You wouldn't be in this mess if you had just told her from the beginning". Just then Seto hears a soft knock at the door. Thinking that it is Mokuba coming in to talk to him, he casually calls out "Yeah what do you want Mokie?" The door slowly opens and Seto keeps his eyes focused on his cards. "Seto" a womanly voice speaks. Seto immediately lifts up his eyes. It was Mai. "Um hi" she waves uneasily. "I know it's against the rules but I had to see you before the duel tomorrow" she quietly informs a very surprised Seto Kaiba. Seto stands up and walks over to her slowly. "What's wrong?" he asks stroking the shiny black desk where his lap top was kept. "I wanted to see you in case you don't win" she mumbled, flicking her long blonde hair with her fingers. Seto looks at her with one eyebrow raised. "I am going to win Mai" he replies in a serious tone. "I heard what happened tonight with Joey" she says worriedly. "You could lose now". Seto stands there silently as if the words Mai had just said had no effect on him at all. Mai holds in a breath and walks closer to him. "One of the reasons why I agreed that the duel was a good idea is because I was certain that you would win" she explains while touching his long coat with her legs just barely. Seto's eyes widen a little. Mai nods.
"Yeah Seto you always win your duels" "I automatically thought you would have this one over and done with by now" she replies, desperate to grab his jacket with both hands and tear it off. "Wheeler may have surprised us all Mai but I assure you I will finish the duel tomorrow" seto half smiles. Only Mokuba has seen Seto smile properly and that was years ago. Mai leans in towards him and Seto draws her in by the purple night gown she has over her slinky purple night dress. She leans in and whispers in his ear. "In case you don't win I want you to know…." The words from her mouth are so soft and seductive that Seto can not take it any more. He purses his lips up to hers and they kiss softly… The kiss seems to go on forever as neither wants to stop. Mai moves her hands all over Seto's body and he runs his left hand up by her back and under her night clothes. They then stop and stare at each other for a minute. "You are a bad girl Mai" Seto whispers. Mai grins mischievously. "I know" she replies biting her bottom lip. "I broke the rules".
Mai then kisses Seto quickly on the cheek. "I better get back" she says sadly, walking out the door. Seto reaches for her and pulls her back in. "I let you go once" he says in a deep voice. "I won't let you go again". Mai sighs and pulls herself away. "As much as I want to Seto I can't" "We better wait until the duel is over" she says clenching her fists in frustration. There is nothing more either want than to embrace each other all night but Mai can not go against the rules. She had already gone too far, besides Joey is a friend who is duelling really hard for her, she can't just sleep with Seto, not without a fair duel.
"Goodnight then" Seto mumbles sadly. "Night hon." she replies just as sad. Mai opens the door and pauses half way. She turns her head around and winks at Kaiba. "You had better win tomorrow" she warns seductively. Seto nods his head and licks his lips…
Mai manages to hop back in to bed without anyone noticing and prepare herself for the big climax tomorrow.
However, one person did hear what was said between Mai and Seto a few minutes ago. They also saw the kiss that took place from a creak in the door. This person will use the excuse that they were on the way to the bathroom when they saw Mai knocking on Kaiba's door. Wandering what was going on, this person very discreetly peered their head in through the large doors to Seto's room. They heard Mai talking and then saw the passionate kiss that they shared. They quickly ran off before Mai exited though and missed the part where she told Seto he had to win; they also missed the words Mai had said to keep the little rendezvous a secret until after the duel...
But this person was not discreet like Yugi. She was also very jealous of the duel between Mai and could not see what Joey saw in her. This would be the perfect reason for him to stop the duel and realise what a "bitch" she really is.
The person off course who witnessed all of this was Tea Gardener and she never kept anything to herself. Tea now had to decide whether she would risk her friendship with Joey and the gang by blurting out what she had seen the night before or should she stand idly by and watch Joey battle in a duel that he was destined to come out the loser in?
Perhaps Tea could confront both Seto and Mai the next day and blackmail them. Hardly a common nature of Tea's but given the fact that she could not stand either Seto or Mai and knew dead well that the feeling was mutual, she figured this case would be an exception……..
Read on and find what Tea does and who wins the duel of all Duels for Mai Valentine……
