Hazardous Games Chapter One, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

Author's Note: Welcome to the next chapter! Thank you so much for the reviews so far! I am glad you are enjoying the fic. Well heads up, more to come, and you find out about the surprise that Ootogi was talking about. Oh and on the side note, my brain decided to have a brain lapse and refer to Honda as Tristan, so I fixed that. Honda is Tristan's Japanese name. So the first chapter was edited for easier reading, as well as that name issue.

Oh and Tawnykit, about the roulette thing. Quite frankly, I thought the same thing you have, but I have asked my brother and he stated that it was a Russian roulette, but who knows. I have to read the research I found in order to begin writing the gambling matches. So let's see if my brother is correct or not.

Thank you LoneGothic for proof reading this chapter for me! -HUGS-

Chapter One

Fingers tapped simultaneously against the oak table, as cobalt eyes looked about the fancy restaurant, searching for something or maybe even someone. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. He had the urge for a cigarette, but he scolded himself. He had been living against using them for quite a while, in hopes of quitting. His nerves, however, begged to differ and craved for tobacco.

His stomach grumbled from hunger, causing him to growl, as he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples—damn his job. He was at a restaurant, and yet he did not have enough money to buy himself dinner. He stuck with his bottle of water, hoping it would satiate his hunger. (1)

Voices hushed suddenly, causing his eyes to flutter open suddenly. He raised his head to see what the cause of silence was. His eyes fluttered towards a medium sized man with dusty brown hair—Yamasaki. He eyed him carefully, watching his every move, as a half a dozen men and a woman, followed him down towards the hall, and into the private booths. He stood up to follow, only to be pushed down back into his seat by some force. He glared up at the cause of disruption, only to come face to face with fluttering eyelashes, belonging to a woman.

"Hel-lo sexy," the woman purred, trailing her hands up his shoulders in a seductive manner. He scowled with disapproval, as he brushed her hands off him. Great, he was dealing with a harlot. Damn it, he had no time for this.

She frowned, but trailed her hands up his chest. He grumbled something incoherent under his breathe, turning his head to see where Yamasaki disappeared to, only to find his head grabbed and turned back around. He snarled, causing the woman to squeak. She however smirked, "My, my, what a temper…" she cooed, pulling herself onto his lap.

He cringed pushing her off and stood to full height, towering over the shorter woman, "If you please, excuse me," he said brushing past her. She grabbed his arm, causing him to jerk his arm roughly away, "I said, if you please excuse me," he said between gritted teeth.

She cocked her head to the side, batting her eye lashes at him, pouting her cherry-red lipsticked lips, "Aww, but I been watching you for a while now…" she trailed circles around his chest, "and I would like to get to know you better, if you get my drift," she winked.

"I'm not interested," he said impassively, brushing past her again, only this time to be yanked back again, he whipped his head around and growled, "Would you leave me alone, woman?" he barked. She narrowed her eyes, determined to con him. She slid her hands down onto the buckle of his pants, causing him to slap her hands away and step away. She shrieked at the sting that struck her hands, she glared up at him. He sneered and turned to leave.

She clung to his back, causing him to try and wiggle out of her grasp. By now, they had drawn the attention of some people. He whipped around and pushed her off him, causing her to fall to the floor and onto her back. She screamed, "RAPIST!"

His eyes widened suddenly, as he was grabbed by his upper arms. He jerked trying to get out of the grip of the two men that held him. They growled, "How dare you try to pull a stunt like that in a place like this?" one of them asked.

"She was coming onto me! I demand you let me go this instant!" Kaiba ordered, as he kicked one of the men right under his knee, causing him to let go of him. He quickly pulled away from the other, glaring at the two men.

By the time Kaiba knew what had happened, he found himself thrown out and slammed right into the green dumpster in the side alley way. He groaned, as he rubbed his head. "And stay out, you filthy bastard!" a man barked, slamming the door close.

Kaiba stood up dusting himself off. His nose scrunched up in disgust, as week old spaghetti lay splattered against his light blue shirt. He slowly plucked it off and reached into his pocket to draw out his box of cigarettes. He picked the last one out, which had bent due to him landing on it.

"Fuck…" he mumbled, lighting the cigarette. There went his plans of learning more about Yamasaki. He was going to have to wait until they decided to leave the restaurant to follow them.

"Great, just fantastic," he muttered sarcastically, letting the cigarette lie numbly between his lips. He kicked the dumpster in anger, only to scream in pain, as he clutched his foot. His cigarette fell to the floor, still glowing. He frowned, "Damn it tonight is not my night at all!"

He grinded the heel of his foot into the cigarette and lay against the brick wall, running a hand through his hair once again. His foot still throbbed with pain, but he ignored it, just standing there and waiting. It was going to be long night—he didn't get paid enough to do this.

Shizuka sat quietly, rolling her food around with a fork. She wasn't quite hungry and she kept thinking what possibly could her father have to announce, that was enough to drag her to one of top class notch restaurants in town? She frowned, trying to think and nearly slumped in her chair. Jounouchi nudged her leg with his own, signaling her to sit up straight. She quickly sat up and just stopped fiddling with her food. She kept her hands folded and on her lap, sitting in silence.

Yamasaki glanced over towards his daughter, and coughed, clearing his throat, "You're probably wondering what the news is, aren't you, Shizuka?" he asked her. She glanced up at him and nodded, "Yes."

He looked at Ootogi, who slowly stood up from his seat and walked over towards Shizuka. This caused Jounouchi to rise from his seat, his eyes narrowed dangerously at him. He wasn't going to allow this jerk anywhere near his sister!

"Sit down, boy," Yamasaki commanded, glaring at Jounouchi warningly. Jounouchi hesitated, but slowly sat down, but ready to rise back up again if Ootogi tried anything. Ootogi glanced back up at Yamasaki for a signal. He nodded and Ootogi got down onto his knee and took Shizuka's palm, giving it a light kiss, causing Jounouchi to grit his teeth. What the hell was going on?

Ootogi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. Both Shizuka and Jounouchi's eyes widened, having the strange feeling what it was. Ootogi smirked and popped open the box and revealed a diamond ring inside, "Shizuka, will you marry me?" he asked, glancing at her face.

Jounouchi quickly rose from his seat and slammed his fist into the table, causing the tableware to shake with a clatter, "I will not allow that bastard marry Shizuka!" he yelled.

Yamasaki rose up from his seat and grabbed Jounouchi by the collar of his shirt, causing everybody at the table to stare at shock, "This is none of you concern, boy! I am giving what is best for your sister and yet you disagree against my approval?" he shouted, tightening the grip on Jounouchi's shirt. Yamasaki sneered and roughly pushed Jounouchi back into his seat.

Jounouchi growled, not backing down, just yet, "Allowing that sniveling man-whore to marry your own daughter?" he shouted. Yamasaki snarled at Jounouchi, "Well, it is Shizuka's choice, although I know she'll do what is best…" he claimed, slowly staring at Shizuka. All eyes fell on Shizuka and she gulped.

"I… I…" she stumbled for the right words. She did not to get married at all—especially to Ootogi, she knew of his reputation with woman, yet she did not want to anger her father's temper, more than it was now. She did not want to upset Jounouchi either, but if she did not, then she would definitely disappoint her father.

Yamasaki glanced at his daughter, "You have ten seconds to decide Shizuka or I shall decided for you—"

"What happened to her choice?" Jounouchi snapped.

"Quiet boy!" Yamasaki barked. (2)

Ootogi narrowed his eyes in worry. Oh, how badly he yearned for her. If she said no, he had no idea how he would win her back. But the problem was soon solved, as Yamasaki finally decided for her.

"You are marrying Ootogi," Yamasaki stated, expressionlessly. Ootogi slipped the ring quickly into her finger and before she knew what was happening, she had his lips against hers and could hear Jounouchi being held back by her father's bodyguards, from wringing Ootogi's neck. Ootogi pulled away from the kiss and stroked her cheek softly, grinning victoriously.

What had she done to be to deserve this?

Info:

(1) – As I stated in the notes of the last chapter, as well as above. That Kaiba Corporations does not exist, therefore Kaiba is not wealthy. In fact, he is an underpaid detective. Sucks for him, neh?

(2) – As you can see, Jounouchi and Yamasaki, do not get along very well with each other. And those are for some very well reasons, in which you shall learn ahead. As well as why, he allowed Ootogi to marry his one and only daughter. Despite Jounouchi and Yamasaki's distaste for one and other, they still do, on some respect, care about one and other's well being. Yamasaki, has a very bad temper, as does Jounouchi, although Jounouchi's is mild, compared to Yamasaki's.

Author's Comments: Well, nothing to exciting happened here, but I am slowly beginning to build up the tension and problems, soon to come in the fic. So expect lots of twists, mysterious, violence, and more.
