Aiken carries Nire up to the top of the long staircase to the door of Pegasus's castle. Next Aiken bangs of the doors, and waits for someone to come. "Aiken, lets me down to a bit. I have to show them the cards I collected and all, you can just help me walk into the castle." Nire says

Aiken lets Nire down off his back. "Fine... But I don't what you too hurt of foot. I want to in perfect shape when I take you out in the finals." Aiken says back and smiles.

"Don't Worry, If we have to duel. I'll do my best and put you out as fast as I can." Nire says back quickly.

Soon two men in suits opne the door. "Well you please show us your entry cards." They say

"You could have atleast said Hi or asked nicely." Aiken says and shows his cards to the men.

"I've got mine right here." Nire says and reachs into her pocket and pulls them out.

"Okay please come inside. Master Pegasus would like to talk to you. You should also be proud to make it this far." The men says and start to walk into the castle and down a hall way.

Aiken Helps Nire inside and they begin to follow the men. "So are we the first people to get here?" Aiken says

"Umm No. The first was master Pegasus, and then another five are also here." One of the men say.

"I belive the other five where, Kaiba, Mai, Kitten, Mako and Kimiko." The other man says.

"I've only heard of two of them." Nire says

"More then I've heard off... I know Mako, Hell he gave me one of the cards you ripped up on me, and Mai kicked me out of my room on the boat." Aiken says

"What! Mako gave you a card, and I ripped it... Damn Mako is cool, All fishermen are cool" Nire says and looks toward Aiken.

"...What you like Mako now too... And If you like Fishermen, I could be a fisherman." Aiken says and smiles.

"Nah, you as a fisherman... I can't see that happening. Or if It did, I proably wouldn't like fishermen anymore." Nire says adn laughs.

"I could so be a fisherman! I'll show you!" Aiken says back to Nire "Now I have to prove that I can be a fisherman... but how?" Aiken thinks to himself.

"Okay Master Pegasus is right through this room" The two men say and up a door.

Aiken and Nire go through the door. "Ahhhh we have yet more duelist to add to my lovly finals." Pegasus calls out and turns to look at who came in. "Ohhh my, is that you Aiken-boy. I though you would have been the first person out of this tornament. After I crushed you in the first match and all." Pegasus says and laughs.

"...I was distracted! I won every other match I was in" Aiken yells out toward Pegasus

"No need to yell Aiken-boy, I saw you looking over at that Girl during out match. Nire I belive you said her name was, you dedicated our duel to her." Pegasus says and looks at Nire. "It seems It worked huh, she's with you and not that other guy." Pegasus says

"...Me and Aiken or only friends... There is nothing going on between us. If I liked anyone like that, it would be my Bakura." Nire says and glares at Pegasus.

"Anyway, the finals won't start for two more days. So your welcome to stay in my castle and upgrade your decks. Ohh and Aiken-boy, I have a present for you too. I was wacthing you last duel and I realized something was wrong with you deck, so I checked up on previous duel tapes to see that Nire, ripped your deck. I am willing to give you the same cards you had in your deck back. Because I'm such a nice guy, and I want to see you far you can make it useing your stratgy." Pegasus sayd and reachs into his desk and pulls out a deck of cards and passes to Aiken.

"Aiken doesn't have a stratgy, he's all instinct and choses the cards because they look cool." Nire says

"And it got him to the finals. But I think Aiken uses that as a cover to real smart plays." Pegasus says and looks at Aiken.

"...So your serious, you have tapes of every duel that happened in this tornament? Even like say...the duel between Nire and Riot...?" Aiken says as a smiles wipes across his face.

"Ohhh that duel... It was rather dissapointing. Although you do look good without a shirt on Aiken-boy." Pegasus says and looks Aiken up and down.

Aiken stares blanky at Pegauss for a moment. "I wasn't really interested in the part where I don't have a shirt on... and now your sort of creppy me out." Aiken says then turns to Nire. "C'mon Nire lets get out of here and enjoy the castle."

Nire glares at Aiken then punchs him in the arm. "Don't remind me about that duel." She says as the walk
out of the room.

The two men show Aiken and Nire to there rooms. "Hey at least our rooms are right next to each others." Aiken says and opens the door so Nire can go into her room.

"You don't have to do all this for me Aiken, My foots feeling better already." Nire says and sits on her bed.

"Doesn't matter you should stay off of it, I'll get you anything you need tonight. For tonight I'll be your personal servant." Aiken says and smiles

"Fine then... Just go check out what the other duelist are like, and maybe what kind of decks they have. I like to know what we're going to be dealing with." Nire says.

"Can do!" Aiken says and leaves the room.

Aiken leaves the room and starts to head down a hallway, before he see's Mako. "Heya Mako! Its me Aiken" He yells

"Ahhh Aiken, It seems you've made it to the finals also. I'm going to check out some of the other duelist. Do you want to join me?" Mako askes Aiken.

"Sure, I was going to do that anyway." Aiken says to Mako and runs down the hallway to walk with him.

As they are walking down the hall they look and see a young girl. Wearing a black top with a picture of a Kitty on it, also a black skirt wear a cat tail attached to the back of it. She also is wearing a pair of cat ears. "Wow she's cute" Mako says and stares good at her. Aiken nods also staring.

The girl looks over at them. "Hi boys! I'm Kitten, would one of you's please help me carry of bags up stairs." Kitten asks and smiles down at them.

"Sure I'll do it!" Aiken yells out and startes to run down the hallway.

"Not before me!" Mako says as he passes Aiken and startes to Carry Kittens Things for her.

"Bah... I have to check out the other duelist for Nire anyway. Nire's cooler then her anyway." Aiken says and looks at Kitten again.

Aiken Continues to walks through the place and talk with some of the other people there. "Hmmm these duelists aren't very nice. There seems to be more duelist here now then when me and Nire came in. I talked to that Kaiba guy, man he's stuck up. There there was that Bandit Keith guy, I saw Yugi and Joey here too" Aiken thinks to himself.

"Aiken! Where Nire at?" Aiken hears from behind him.

"She's in her room, she hurt her ankle a little few away you ran off yesterday. But Come on now Bakura, I'm not going to leave you and her alone." Aiken says to Bakura. "I'll take you there in a minute, I'm just checking out some of the other duelists." Aiken says again

"Out of my way!" A rather large man says and pushs Bakura off to the side.

"And who do you think are pushing me." Yami Bakura says.

"I'm Genso. And I'm going to be the next king of games." Genso says as he walks on down the Hall.

"Errr Who the hell was that oversized freak?" Riot says runs down the hall to meet Aiken and Bakura.

They all go back to Nire's room and Tell Nire about the new duelists they saw. "Sounds Like its going to be a good finals." Nire says.

-Later on that Night -

"Heh heh heh, I'm going to go surprize Nire, I'll wait till she wakes up and then give her this poem I wrote and tell her I love her." Aiken thinks to himself and looks through Nire's door. As he looks in he see's thats she's not in the room. Aiken goes into the room and waits.

After about five mins Aiken see the door is slowly opening. "Heh heh heh, here my chance!" Aiken thinks to himself again.

"I LOVE YOU!" Aiken and the person whom just came in the room yell out.

"WHA WHAT! Bakura what the hell are you doing in coming in Nire's room!" Aiken yells

"I can ask you the same thing Aiken!" Bakura yells back at Aiken.

The both turn and look at the bathroom door, to see Nire standing there laughing. "Oh I didn't know you too loved each other." Nire says and laughs again.
