Chapter 3 Meeting At KaibaCorp! Enter Seto Kaiba!

I really oughta stop eating tomatoes before bed. I couldn't sleep last night because Yugi was in conversation with someone or something. I saw a transparent being in front of him. It looked like Yugi, but a little taller, and has a look more serious than Yugi. In fact, Yugi looked just like that when i dueled him...

Since I was about to finish school, I decided to take the classes that Yugi had, since he offered to show mw around. Apparently Duel Monsters was very popular in town.

After 2nd period class, we went to get lunch. I asked Yugi to duel, without the DuelDiscs. It came close, but the little guy beat me again. But... he didn't have that serious look when I first dueled him.

Some kid came over to speak with me. He was about my height, with brown hair and a fancy trenchcoat with "KC" on it.

"Your name is Azurada, correct?"
"Yeah... and who might you be?"
"Kaiba... Seto Kaiba. I'm the President of Kaiba Corporation."

So THAT'S what "KC" stood for. But how can Kaiba be PRESIDENT of a corporation? "You being president of KaibaCorp. Wow, the world is already coming to chaos."

"Stranger things have happened. Azurada, will you stop by KaibaCorp on the way home? I'll arrange an appointment."

"What for?"
"You'll see..."

Yugi cocked his head to one side wondering why Kaiba was talking to me. I explained what went on in the comversation. "And its after school, Yugi. Besides, I bet he probably wants me to be in a commercial or something."

Yugi exploded. "Seto Kaiba is the 2nd best duelist in the world! He'll want to challenge you to a duel!"

"Uhhh... Second best?! Shit! That guy is way too high on the dueling ladder for me!"

"But Azurada you did well dueling me, and I am the world's BEST duelist. I scored first place in Duelist Kingdon and Battle City."

"... That's a load off." Yeah right.
After school, Yugi and his friends decided to come with me to KaibaCorp. A guard was at the door. So I decided to tell him about my appointment with Kaiba.

"Hi. I'm Azurada Magikaart. I'm here with an appointment with Seto Kaiba."

The guard checked his list. "I'm sorry, but I do not see you on the list."

"But, sir..."

"No "buts"! Now get out before I call the rest of security!"

Then I heard Kaiba's voice on an intercom. "Isono! Stop messing around and let him in! We have an appointment!"

Isono, at least that's what I think his name is, gave an embarrassed laugh and said, "Sorry about that. Come on in."

As we went in, I was marveling a bit on the lobby architecture. Then a kid smaller than yugi with long black hair ran up to us.

"You must be Azurada. My name is Mokuba. Seto's office is on the top floor. Let me take you there."

"Uhh... thanks."

As we went on the elevator, Jonouchi asked, "Hey, Mokuba, why does your brother want to see the new kid."
"Seto saw him dueling Yugi and decided to challenge Azurada himself."

Anzu was surprised. "So that was Kaiba talking to you, Azurada?"

"Heheh, yeah. But I should do fine against Kaiba, since I did well dueling Yugi."

Honda was trying to peek in my binder again. "Oh, you dueled Yugi? I musta been in the john for quite awhile."

"That's what ya get for eating a burrito/fajita combo for lunch!" exclaimed Anzu.

Everyone laughed at Honda. I chimed in with a little chant. "Beans Beans, good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you..."

DING!

Mokuba interrputed. "We're here!"

The elevator door opened. I saw Kaiba working on his DuelDisc.

"So you've made it. I apologize for Isono's behavior. He's always a little late recieving news."

"That's perfectly understandable. Now about our appointment?"

"Oh, yes. That... KaibaCorp's DuelDisc sales have been soaring through the roof since the Battle City Tournament. I would like to give you this DuelDisc." He wrote his signature on the DuelDisc and handed it to me. I didn't bother asking why. He and Yugi are famous duelists. "Though I'm sure Isono would have at LEAST kicked out the riffraff." Kaiba added, glaring at Jonouchi.

"Say whaaaat? Come on over here and I'll show you riffraff!" Joey snapped. Obviusly he and Kaiba don't go along so well.

"Save it, Jonouchi."

I decided to intervene. "Look, I'm sure you two would love to duke it out, but later, will ya?! Kaiba, I'm sure you would like to continue our business. I know you didn't call me just to give an autographed DuelDisc."

"Smart kid. Unlike SOME people i know. A few more things before we're done here. In addition to the autographed DuelDisc, KaibaCorp will supply you with enough money for a place of your own."

"That's... awfully generous of you, Kaiba."

"But I wish you return the favor for my generosity... I challenge you to a duel!"
