Chapter Nine

Lightning Duel

Kaiba drew his sword from his seath and pointed it at Noah." Anyone who protects Gozoburo, will find no sympathy from me" Kaiba said. Noah drew his katana and leaned it on his shoulder." I wouldn't expect any from you Seto" Noah said.

The two swordsman locked eyes with eachother and stood in their spots for over a minute. Kaiba then saw Noah move alittle and that signaled the start. Kaiba ran towards the young boy and quickly swung his sword hitting nothing but air.

Kaiba then watched as his left shoulder split open and gush out blood." What how did that happen" he said. He then heard laughing and turned to Noah behind him." Seto you can't possibly beat me going that slow" Noah laughed.

Kaiba charged at the boy again and sliced downward trying to slice him in half. Again Noah was gone in a flash and Kaiba watched his right leg gush crimson red out of a giant sword wound.

Kaiba slowly fell to one knee wrapping his hand around his wound." Seto, why do your think they call me the Tenken, because I'am as fast as lightning, no ones ever laid a finger on me" Noah laughed.

Kaiba rose from his spot and resumed his stance again. He then ran and did a side ward slice which Noah easiliy dodged and appeared behind Kaiba. He rose his sword to do another wound on Kaiba, but some how Kaiba's katana came from the opposite direction and hit Noah in the forearm causing a thin line of blood to appear.

Noah jumped back and looked. Kaiba was down on one knee with the katana that Noah had dodged and a second katana that had hit his arm.

" A double katana stance, not bad but wil be the only time you catch me off guard Seto" Noah laughed. Kaiba rose and turned to him with both swords in hand." My double katana doho justsu has never let me down and I'am certain it won't lose to a snot nosed brat like you".

Noah was about to move, but Kaiba anticipated this and charged again. He swung so fast that Noah couldn't move in time so he had to stay and block. Using this to his advantage, Kaiba brought his foot up and kicked Noah square in the chin, he then nailed a punch into Noah's stomach.

Noah staggered back and repositioned himself. He then charged forward and disappeared and reappeared behind Kaiba. Noah swung and hit nothing but air. His eyes widen and he turned to get a fist in his face.

The punch knocked Noah back as he skidded on his feet." Don't think your the only one who can move fast, Noah" Kaiba said. Noah sat up and spit out some blood from his mouth." Seto, your so confident and yet you haven't even seen my special move" Noah laughed.

Kaiba narrowed his eye," What do you mean" he said. Noah just began laughing and gripped his sword." I'll show you". Noah straightened himself into a new stance.

He then charged forward, Kaiba brought up his sword to attack but was to late. Noah had disappeared and Kaiba watched as three slice marks appear on his chest.

Tons of blood spurted out and Kaiba fell to both knees. Noah then reappeared and approached Kaiba." Seto, I'am surprised your still alive, usually my attack kills with one hit, but don't worry I'll finish it".

Noah brought his sword back and raised it above his head." This is goodbye Seto".' I can't move, my energy has been zapped and without my energy Noah will strike me down' Kaiba thought.

" Bye" Noah said. With that he quickly brought his sword down in a single swift motion.

Serenity ran through the hideout. She had gotten lost and was now wondering the place trying to fing Kaiba even anyone at this rate.

" Hello is there anybody there" she called hearing her echo.' Kaiba where are you' she thought. Serenity continued on her way and made her way through a door into a small room.

She gasped at what she saw. The bodies of five men laid in the room, most of them carved up." Kaiba must have been here, only he could beat this many men" Seerenity said. She slowly crept around the dead bodies and exited throught the other side.

She became enraged at what she saw. Another set of hallways to get lost in. She quickly got rid of her anger and ran down a hallway in hopes of finding Kaiba." Please be safe" she prayed.

Noah brought his sword down fast and laughed. His laughter soon stopped as he saw Seto's sword up blocking Noah's attack." But how, how can you move" Noah stuttered nervous. Kaiba rose from his spot and glared at Noah.

" Because I have to avenge my little brothers death and I have someone I wish to see again and no one will ruin that" Kaiba yelled. Noah jumped back." Ha Seto you think one block shows your strong, I bet you used all of your energy in that one move" Noah stated.

He then positioned himself into his stance for his special." This attack will surely kill you" Noah laughed. He then disappeared in front of Kaiba." Don't think you will kill me now, there is still so much I must do" Kaiba said.

' Serenity, Mokuba please give me strength' Kaiba said to himself. He rose both his swords and opened his eye." White Dragon blast" he yelled. He quickly swung one sword and captured Noah's sword in it.

' He blocked my special and now I'am open for a attack' Noah thought." Now its over" Kaiba yelled. He brought his second sword around and quickly impaled Noah." Dragon Blast".

Kaiba focused all his energy into his sword and quickly sliced five times cutting Noah's insides opena dn also cutting him into several pieces. Blood sprayed everywhere in the room and Noah's sword fell with a clank to the floor.

Kaiba slowly seathed his sword and then fell to a knee holding his chest." Noah you may have wounded my body, but my mind will stay shielded, keeping the memories of my loved ones inside of me" Kaiba said. He then looked up and saw Rapheal enter the room.

" I miss something" Rapheal asked looking at the blood covered room." Just a fast duel, which you can see I won" Kaiba laughed. Rapheal walked over to him and helped him up." I'll be fine, but we must continue, I fell as though Gozoburo is the next one we'll meet" Kaiba said.

Rapheal nodded and carried Kaiba out of the room. The two men walked forward untill they reached a flight of stairs. They climbed them untill they reached the top where two double wooden doors laiy." Are you ready" Rapheal asked. Kaiba let go of Rapheal and stood on his own strength.

He then nodded and the two men pushed open the doors. They soon found themselves outside on top of the hideout. Kaiba looked forward and spotted a man in a red suit standing next to a tarp covered item. The man smiled a wicked smile." Welcome Seto" he said.

" Gozoburo" Kaiba said. He then drew one sword and pointed it at him." You shall pay for Mokuba's death you pig" he shouted." We shall see" Gozoburo laughed. He reached over for the tarp covered item and pulled it off to reveal.

" Thats a" Kaiba said wide eyed as was Rapheal." Now come at me Seto" Gozoburo laughed.
