Chapter 7: Time to sumo wrestle and has Kaiba lost it?
Duke sighed and sat down. Muffin crawled up into a ball next to him.
"We've been walking for hours… I think this place is all just one big maze Muffin."
The kitten looked up at him before yawning.
Dartz walked out from behind the curtain. "Giving up?"
Duke jumped up, along with Muffin who started to hiss and grow. Dartz looked down at Muffin, who looked like a mini puffball.
"Get ready to loose!" Duke said
"You and the cat will be my downfall? HA!" Dartz laughed. Muffin hiss again.
"You're quick to judge Dartz!"
Duke looked down at the kitten, "Oh crap … I'm hallucinating a talking cat now…"
"Shut up the fuck Duke, let me handle this guy." Muffin said.
"You mean shut the fuck up?"
"Huh? Oh, is that what I said?"
"Yeah."
"Well sorry, I'm still new at the talking English thing you know?"
"…Okay…"
"Hey! You try to speak cat! It's not as easy as it sounds!"
Dartz and Duke looked at each other.
"As I was saying, shut up Duke and let me handle this."
Duke stood back, doing what the tiny puffball said. Muffin looked up at Dartz. "Come on!"
Dartz laughed again. "My seal isn't even worth bringing out on you."
"That's what you think!" Muffin said, "If you won't pull the first move, I will!"
Muffin held up a paw, five large, shiny and sharp claws popped out. Muffin smirked and looked at Dartz again. "HI-YA!" Muffin jumped onto Dartz and started to claw him like crazy. Dartz screamed and tried pulling the evil kitten off his face but Muffin only dug his claws in deeper.
Dartz cried out in pain and spun around in a circle, he backed up and hit the window, leaving a large crack. He took a steep forward, still trying to Muffin off. He took a hard step back, hitting the window again. It shattered, Dartz feet stood half off the edge. Muffin jumped off his face and looked up at him.
"No! No! DON'T!"
Muffin held up one of his paws and smirked at him. "I told you to go first." He slammed his claws into his foot. Dartz screamed as he lost his balance and fell.
Muffin skipped back over to Duke and smiled at him. "So, want to go get some pizza or something?"

"I don't know … Maybe we should just stick with going up the stairs." Mokuba said. Joey waved his hand.
"Nah, I'm takin' the elevator."
Mokuba shrugged and started up the stairs as Joey stepped inside.
"See you at the top then." Mokuba said.
Joey pressed the three hundredth button and leaned back as the elevator started. A few minutes later, the elevator suddenly stopped. Joey looked up at the number to see it was on the two hundred and ninety eighth floor.
"Ok, well if this thing won't go to the three hundredth floor, I can walk up two flights of stairs. Its not that much walking."
The doors opened and what Joey saw was not what Joey had expected.
"Welcome Jounouchi."
Joey blinked. A large, I mean LARGE guy stood in front of him. He was so big, he couldn't, wouldn't, never ever be able to fit through the elevator doors. His gray suit looked like it was going to burst open any moment. His black hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"It's Joey in this fanfic okay? And where's Kaiba?"
The large man laughed and took a step back. "Come with me and you'll find out."
So Joey followed. The man led his to a large screen.
"Mr. Kaiba, Jounouchi has arrived."
The screen turned on. Kaiba was sitting on his desk. "I didn't think it would take you this long to get here Joey."
"What's this all about Kaiba? Come down here and face me like a man!"
"Nothings ever that easy Joey, come on! Is your head really that thick?"
Joey grunted as Kaiba went on, "I bet you're wondering why I have Mushy here."
"Mushy?"
The large man looked down at Joey and smiled.
"Oh."
"Anyway, he's here to help me in something. You see, I can't just let you up here without giving you a challenge. You'll have two challenges to face. The first will be a sumo wrestling match. The second, you'll find out if you beat Mushy."
"WHA!"
"That's right, so get dressed and let the games begin!"
The screen clicked off and Joey turned around. Mushy was standing a few feet away, his suit off.
"Here you are Jounouchi." He held up one of those diaper things they wear. He was already wearing one. Joey sweat dropped and took it.
"There's a place for you to change in over there." Mushy said pointing to a small area with a red curtain. Joey sighed and went over to the booth thingy. He started to change before noticing a bottle of olive oil sitting on the ground.
"Hmm?" He picked it up. "There's no way I'll be able to beat that guy … but if I use this oil he would slip … but that'd be cheatin'." Joey glanced out of the changing booth and then looked at the bottle again.
"But knowin' Kaiba he's got this as a set up, trying to make me loose."
"Ah, there you are Jounouchi. Shall we begin our match?" Mushy asked.
Joey gulped and nodded. "I just have to keep it cool."
They stepped into the circle and took their stances. Joey gulped again. He closed his eyes and charged at Mushy.
-BLOP-
Joey bounced back after colliding with Mushy's large tummy. He ran back and pushed as hard as he could. Mushy watched amused as Joey's face turned red. He bumped Joey softly with his stomach. Joey flew back, the bottle of oil fell out of ra knows where and poured the oil everywhere. Mushy didn't notice this though and as he started for Joey his feet slipped in the oil.
-CRASH-
"That had ta' hurt." Joey said as Mushy fell out of the circle and fell right into the wall. Mushy rubbed his head and smiled.
"You beat me so you can go on to the next floor." Mushy said as a door in the wall opened.
"Thanks Mushy." Joey said as he started for the door.
"Good luck Mr. Jounouchi."

"So that's the plan." Malik said. He looked down at the ear piece. Ryou looked at Odion.
"Remember, if anyone else wakes up, tell them not to go back. We're going to try and get everyone out of there." Ryou said handing him a disk.
Odion nodded. "I will do what I can."
Ryou typed something into Kaiba's lab top and looked at Malik. "Here we go."
They put there ear pieces back in and went out like lights. Odion Placed the disk in the drive and hit go.
----
Bakura burst into Kaiba's office. "You!"
Kaiba turned around in his chair. "Well, what is this? Bakura, I'm not surprised to see you here."
"Cut the crap Kaiba. Let me out of this game!" Bakura said.
"What makes you think I'm keeping you here?" Kaiba asked while raising an eyebrow.
"LET ME OUT OF THIS GAME!"
"Don't make me laugh Bakura." Kaiba said smirking. He put his elbows onto his desk. "I need you to stay here for a while longer. Besides Ryou is fine. I have a program set up to keep the people who die stuck in a sort of room if you will."
Bakura wasn't satisfied. "I said-."
"I heard you the first time." Kaiba stood up. "You don't get it do you Bakura?"
"Fucking get what?"
"That I control this world!" Kaiba threw his head back and laughed.
"Grrrr." Bakura narrowed his eyes.
"And," Kaiba laughed as he looked at Bakura. "Everything inside it too."
Bakuras eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare!"
"But Bakura, I already controlled you before." Kaiba said.
"I'LL KILL YOU KAIBA!"
Bakura suddenly grabbed his head. He dropped to his knees. No matter how hard he tried to fight it, Kaiba had more power.
----
Ryou stopped running, he looked at the ground. Something didn't feel right. 'Whatever it is, it will have to wait … first I have to get my friends out of here.'
He found Duke walking out of the glowing castle.
"Hey, look Muffin." Duke said.
"Ryou!" Muffin jumped off of Dukes head and into Ryou's arms.
"So you can talk too?" Ryou asked the little kitten.
"Yep!"
With a sigh Ryou looked at Duke. "I don't have a whole lot of time to explain but I'll make this quick."
Duke blinked as Ryou started to tell him how none of the things happening was reality but a world created by Kaiba.
"You have the choice of helping me find the others or getting out of here now. I don't know how much longer any of this will last. It'd be better if you got out now."
"But Ryou, I couldn't just leave you and the others."
"It'll be ok. Malik is also helping me and Odion is already awake and helping us from outside the game."
"Well … Okay." Duke said. Ryou started to grab his wrist but Duke grabbed him first. His other hand went for his throat as he started to gag.
"Duke!" Ryou ran behind him and started to hit him on the back. Duke fell over, dead, a dice fell out of his mouth. Ryou stood there in shock. He didn't think killing his friends in a game would be so … realistic, but he hadn't done anything to Duke.
A dark laugh came from behind Ryou. He turned around, a bit afraid of what he saw. Bakura's lushes reddish brown eyes were bloodshot. His black hair seemed spikier than normal and his cloths were more … starchy like, sticking up into the air more.
"You did that?"
"What's the matter Ryou? You said your self it would be better if he got out now."
Ryou bit his lower lip. This wasn't like Bakura, could something like the last time have happened again? Was Bakuras mind slowly being poisoned to go against him?
"You should come with me Ryou. I wouldn't want to have to kill you too."
"No."
"Ryou … it's no use." Malik said. Ryou turned around to see Malik on his knees next to Marik. Marik smirked at Ryou.
"Bakura, control your hikari."
Bakura grabbed Ryou by his hair. "You don't have a choice now."
Ryou flinched at his hair being pulled. Malik looked up at him and the looked away as if shamed to look at Ryou.
