I heard someone cough behind me, I slowly turned around to see Kaiba. Already I was going to die in a world I shouldn't have been in anyway. Kaiba glared down at me, I was shrimp compared to him.
" Too big of an ego huh? I don't think your even a duelist, I think your just for show." Kaiba snapped. I kept my cool, it was better not to piss off the man. I stood up and smiled backing away.
" Maybe I am... But, uh, I have to go," I said looking around for escape." Elsewhere." I added and started off in a random direction. I raced away, it was too close of a call. I stopped in a garden where most of the duelists came to relax. I sat down and put my cards away, feeling embarrassed. Yes I had dueled before back in my world, but in this world it was much different. I just hoped I wouldn't run into Kaiba or the other two. It'd be best to keep my distance from them until I could come up with a better excuse. People had duel disks, equipment that I lacked in. But then again, I also lacked in money. Another issue, maybe if I found Yugi or someone, I could get a free one. I heaved a sigh and felt like a total freeloader. I heard a few people yelling at each other. I turned to see Tristan, Mai, and Joey yelling at each other. I couldn't pick up what exactly what was going on, I focused harder on the coversation.
" Well go find them already and quit screaming at me!" Tristan yelled. Joey clentched his fist and Mai folded her arms.
" Why don't you be useful and find them yourselves?" Joey yelled back. Tristan got up in his face and opened his mouth to say something. I came wandering up and he looked at me. Before I knew it he was on one knee, holding my hand. I could only hold back the urge to slap him.
" Let go of my hand..." I said, containing the bubbling rage inside. He didn't, he looked up with big glittery looking eyes.
" You are beautiful, whats your name?" Tristan asked. Now I really had to smack him, my other hand struck his face and almost sent him flying. Joey busted out laughing and Mai yelled,
" Hey girl! Someone ran off with your cards!" I turned to see what the hell she was talking about and a theif dissapeared in the crowd with my cards in hand.
" My cards!" I yelled, running after the theif. The last thing I needed was stolen cards, that was my best deck and I'd be damned if someone were to take them away. They slid around an alley and I ran over, they were gone. Tristan, Joey, and Mai had followed me. I dropped to my knees, my shoulders shook. I wanted to cry, I was at a total loss now. No money, no place to stay, nobody I knew, and no deck.
" Oh my, I hope those weren't good cards." Mai said, looking around the alley. I didn't look up, I wanted to stare at the ground, I couldn't look at hopeful faces.
" They were extremely rare cards... And my first Red Eyes Black Dragon. I can't believe that they are gone, just like that." I said, snapping my fingers.
" We could report this to Kaiba. I mean this is his city." Joey replied with a shrug. I looked at him shaking my head.
" No, no! He hates my guts already. He wouldn't help me!" I exclaimed, eyes wide with fear. The three looked at each other.
" Do you even have money? Any friends or family near-by? Anything?" Tristan asked. I just shook my head. Well I did, but not nearby, I had no idea where they were more or less if they even cared.
Sorry this was so short but I suddenly got writers block. In a few days I should have another chapter up and running. Read and Review please!
