Yo! I be am Duo-of-Redwall! I'm back for Chapter 2 of "My Darling My Duel Monsters Cards" I'd like to take this time to thank the people that read chapter one and a special thanks to those who sent me reviews. For those of you that have sent reviews but I haven't received them, I'll get to them eventually, but thanks in the mean time. Sorry for keeping you waiting for chap. 2, I don't get much computer time. So it's in part that and in part my own conscience decision to wait at least one week before I typed another story. For future reference, you might be waiting longer for future stories, it depends on a combination of how I feel and if I can get on my computer of not. So without further ado…

My Darling, My Duel Monsters Cards!

Chapter 2

It was late in the day and raining, raining, just raining! Kaiba looked out at the sky with steely eyes as sheets of rain pounded on his window. It seemed to be raining ever since… no! No, that was all in his mind. The world does not stop for one person, no matter how heartbroken they are. The world is a cruel place that rejoices every time some foolish mortal lends his or her heart out only to have it shattered into a million pieces. Kaiba thought he had learned to keep all aspects of his life at a face value with Mokuba as his only exception, but that was before he met…

"NO!" Kaiba slammed his clenched fists into his desk for the 12th time that day, "I've shut him out of my life! I've moved on! I shouldn't be torturing myself like this!" Kaiba whipped a faded white jacket of the back of his chair and smoothed the wrinkles out of the matching pants. Water stains could be made out on his jet-black shirt and he himself looked in a bad need for sleep.

"Hey look! Here he comes, go, do it!" A bubbly voice squeaked from around the corner. A group of girls in school uniforms pushed their friend, beet-red with embarrassment, to Kaiba as he came to a halt. "Uh…um…Mr. Kaiba-sama… I'd, I-I-I-I…Iwaswonderingifyou'd gooutwihtmeididn'tthinksosorrytodisturbyoubye!" The girls friends where infuriated as she ran off, but seeing an opening, another thought to try her luck.

"Sorry about that. Yuki-chan is very shy. You don't look so well Kaiba-sama… did you just breakup with someone?" Kaiba stood there, staring at her blankly with cold eyes, but the girl persisted. "Uh… M-my name is Misashi," She stepped closer to Kaiba, sliding her hand inside his jacket and around his waist, " I bet I could make you forget about whoever's making you feel so down, what do you say?" Kaiba scoffed, slightly pushing her off him "Misashi… Isn't that a boy's name?" he asked, an eyebrow rose in disgust. "…Why… yes, it is. My parents really wanted a boy as their first born, you see. But I came out a girl, so they just named me that to get back at me I guess." Kaiba smirked and continued to walk out of the building. " Sorry, but I've had enough boy problems to last me a lifetime. So I think I'll pass. But if you decide to come back as a girl anytime soon, I might consider it."

Kaiba dozed off not too long after getting in his limo. He slipped into a darkness that he had repressed with all his will power, but now resurfaced.

"Is that your young heir Mr. Kaiba? My what a handsome boy he is" Some distant and distorted voice said as he viewed himself 12 years younger. Clad in a blood-red suit with black shoes and tie, he stood in the middle of a group of men, one of them his adopted father. Gozaboro stood with his arm around Kaiba, pulling him close to him. "Yes, he's a fine young man. He shall prove to be a worthy successor without a doubt!"

"Not only that sir, but he has a beautiful face and body as well… Don't you think you ought to…initiate him into… the guild soon? I could gather the members if you would like to do it here and now… seeing how it's such an important task that shouldn't be postponed." The voice echoed in seductive tone. Kaiba was suddenly surrounded by tall, looming shadows, each with a sinister smile on what he assumed was to be their faces. Gozaboro pulled him in closer, uncomfortably close, a twisted look of joy in his eyes as he grasped young Kaiba's waist powerfully.

" Now's the time to prove what you're made of kid! Lets see how you handle yourself now!"

The shadows quickly closed in on him and Kaiba lunged forward gasping, hitting the seat in front of him. "Sir, are you alright?" The driver asked, looking through the rear-view mirror. Kaiba rubbed his forehead slowly " I'm fine, keep driving" " We will soon be at out first destination Mr. Kaiba sir." The driver stated, matter-of-factly. " Fine, just keep going and stop when we get there!" He spat back. Taken aback, the driver focused his entire attention to the road, having heard rumors that Kaiba fires those that interrogate him while in one of his moods.

"I haven't had that nightmare in years! I thought I had finally been able to escape my past. Well, I seemed to have guessed wrong." Kaiba thought to himself " None of this would be happing if it weren't for-" "We are here sir." Kaiba's driver had stopped in front of a rundown looking card shop, just in time to see Yugi and a few others enter it. Kaiba felt a panic swell up inside him, but his pride helped him suppress it.

"You are sure that the card I'm looking for is in here? You positive you haven't made any mistakes reading the directions?" the driver nodded, practically petrified with fear and unable to speak. Kaiba fixed him with a fierce glare and said getting out of the limo, "Beware old man, the future of your job depends on this, if you've made a mistake, I'll personally see to it that cardboard boxes seem like mansions to you!"

Kaiba quickly grabbed a change of clothes out of his trunk and dipped into a nearby store to change. Trying not to allow any of his emotions, good or bad, interfere with his search, he entered the store to see Yugi and the others he had entered the store with standing at the counter talking to an old man. Still in their school uniforms, Kaiba could recognize them but could not place names to their faces.

"Wow, well who'da thunk it? It's Seto Kaiba!" Said a tall boy with a single spike of brown hair pointing off his head at an angle. He stood next too another tall boy with a mop of blond hair and a girl with brown hair that cascaded down to her shoulders. Yugi stood between them, trying not to look horror stricken. The blond started toward him. "So Kaiba, you duel to eh? That's sweet! Maybe I can take you on some time. I just started so you'll have ta go easy on me fer a while." He said scratching the back of his head. Kaiba instantly recognized and hated the boy that extended his hand to him in friendship.

"Get out of my way Wheeler, I'm in a league far above yours and it would ruin my reputation should I be seen dueling you. I might just walk away smelling like you and I associate with many people that are allergic to dog." Kaiba sneered. Joey was shocked, he clenched his fist but kept a calm face and voice level "Hey now, no need ta go n' insult me like dat Kaiba. I was just askin' for a friendly duel. Ya could hummer me couldn't ya?" Kaiba pushed out his chest and smirked "Wheeler, I'd crush you in a matter of seconds playing with my little brothers deck with both hands and feet tied be hind my back… blind folded. It wouldn't be hummer, It'd be murder." Joey could keep his cool no longer. "Oooh, I'm shacking! Lets see how ya talk went the game ain't cards!"

Yugi stepped forward to stop Joey before he did something he'd regret. "Joey, you promised you'd stop fighting. You're not going break that promise are you?" Joey backed down, blushing. He thrust his hands in his pockets and slumped over to Yugi "…He started it. Whattaya want me ta do, stand there and let him make fun of me in my face Yug! I mean-" Yugi tiptoed and kissed Joey, silencing him and making him blush even more.

"Oh god, shoot me! That's just gag worthy." The brown haired boy groaned. The girl giggled and pushed him playfully. "Let them be Tristen, I think it's cute how Yugi's little kiss is powerful enough to shut Joey up. Look at him blush! Ha, ha-ha!" Yugi looped his arm in Joey's and rubbed his cheek against it as Joey mumbled looking off in no particular direction.

Blood-boiling, Kaiba was moments away from putting Joey into a wall until a glint of light caught his eye. "Ah!" Kaiba gasped as he first stumbled, then ran to the counter to look at the card on it. "…Tell me I'm dreaming, the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon Card! There's only four in the world and this dinky, old, rundown shop has one! That's just not possible!" Out of the corner of his eye, Kaiba can see Yugi distressed face. "Hmm, he knew this old man had this card, but was protecting him from me. Well sorry Yugi, but I won't let you win this time!" Kaiba thought to himself.

"Look here old man! I'll give you all these for that one card!" Kaiba slams down the briefcase he is holding, it pops open to reveal a treasure trove of Duel Monsters cards. Joey and Yugi spring to Kaiba's side "Jackpot! Lookit all dem cards! You'd never lose a duel with them bad boys!" Joey said beaming. Kaiba felt a slight weakness as Yugi grasped his arm in the same fashion he was glomping Joey. "Well that's enough window shopping. I'm sorry young man, but this card is not for trade." Said the old man, but Kaiba was far from finished.

"Then name your price! I can make you a very wealthy man if you please me. Consider the future of your grandchildren!" The old man glanced at Yugi and said. "My grandson is happy with my happiness Mr. Kaiba. I'm sorry but this card holds sentimental value with me. I wouldn't trade it even if it were a weak card. You must understand." Kaiba now had a look of horror on his face. He turned to Yugi slowly. "He's your grandfather?" Yugi's eyes fell to the floor, he nodded just barely. Kaiba shock with rage.

"Two years… Two years I've been looking for this card Yugi! We've been together for as long as I have been looking for this card and you know this whole time!" Yugi raised his hands apolitically "Now Kaiba, calm down! He'd never had traded it to you. You heard him, it ha-" Yugi was cut off by a swift backhand to the face that sent him to the floor. Kaiba looked down at him slowly, his eyes as cold as they were after they broke up.

"Now wait just a second there! You can't ju-" Kaiba silenced Joey with a chop to the back of his head, he then lunged at Tristen and dropped him with a powerful blow to his stomach. Kaiba stormed out of the store, the three boys still on the floor. Joey looks over at Yugi, who had tears in his eyes and a very pitiful look on his face. The girl bent down to his side, helping him up. "Yug, what's going on…what was all that that about?" Yugi kept his eyes on the floor as he said. "…there's something I need to tell you guys…"

FIN

Well… there it is. It's waaaaaaaay longer then what I originally thought I would end up with. This story didn't turn out like I thought it would, but that's life for ya… oh well. Next chapter I intend to go further into Kaiba's little dream and add Yami to the picture! Time will tell, but I plan on ending the whole series before I up load it again. But like I said, time will tell. Later! Eat more rice!
