Chapter 3...
Conversations

To the eye, Amelda may appear a little over bearing. His height towered over most people and he stood solid as a treem in a forest. He displayed a look of pure insane madness towards the CEO.

"Once I activate my soul captivator you will not stand a chance and youre soul will be mine forever" Amelda twists his hands in sick delight.

Mai stands her ground without completely freaking out. She knew what Amelda and his gang of thugs were all about, she knew only too well.

"Listen you Maniac if youre just another ametur sent by some pathetic excuse to piss me off then..." Seto's words are cut short by a cackling Amelda.

"You're saying you have no idea who I am?" he questions, taking off his dark glasses ever so slightly.

Seto just rolls his eyes, the whole time wandering what's happened to Pegaus and why the hell Mai is here.

"I am an ex employee of yours Mr Kaiba", "You should be familiar with them shouldnt you?" Amelda informs in a sarcastic tone of voice.

"Why I am aware of The big five, who liked you so much that they wanted to use your physique to enter the real world", "leaving you trapped inisde the virtual existence" .

Mai shoots a glare at Amelda. Trust him to stoop so low.

Seto grows more and more infuriated with Amelda's rantings of past enemies.

"So you are here to fight me until I hand my soul over to you?" He asks with his arms crossed.

Mokuba looks afraid. Mai looks down at him and sleekly smiles.

"Dont worry about him" "He's an idiot" she says quietly, while glancing over at the red head.

Seto hears Mai's comment and cant help but laugh.

His laugh is quickly supressed when Mai glances at him.

Maybe there is some hope there...she thinks.

"Spare me the hocus pocus bull shit" Seto says.

He then pulls out his duel deck.

"I will duel you" "Whoever you claim to be" "I will also leave you wishing you never took me on". Seto's words are full of rage and low feeling.

Amelda licks his lips.

"Oh fiesty" He hisses, looking over at Mai seductively.

Mai turns her head away and mutters something.

Amelda then walks towards the three and puts forward a suggestion.

"Very well" He says. "I do however display some sort of conciense and will duel you tommorrow morning" "Taking your soul and all who surround you" .

Amelda looks at Mokuba and snickers.

"Not that there will be much to take".

Seto nods his head in agreement before storming off outside to where his KC jet is.

"Seto wait" Mokuba calls out, running to follow him.

"enjoy your last night on earth" Amelda yells...

He then walks over and leans in to whisper in Mai's ear...

"I'd stay away if I was you" he warns.

Mai backs away from him and looks at him with pure disgust.

"He's not going to fight you hun" She hisses sarcastically.

Amelda chuckles to himself as he watches Mai turn around and walk out of the room.

"Excellent" He grins!

The duel between Joey and Varon is yet to begin.

"Lets go brit boy" "I aint got all night" Joey says impateintly.

Tea and Tristan stand behind Him. They are all still wearing there school uniforms.

Varon attaches his duel deck and raises his first card.

"I'll start this off Guv" he announces. "And I'll start wiv a..."

All of a sudden Varon's Cell starts to vibrate.

"Eww did he bring a Vibrator?" Tea asks, with a face.

"Uh i think its his phone Tey" Tristan replies, looking at his friend oddly.

"Ello?" Varon says, loud enough for everyone outside to hear.

"You're pullin me chain" "That Seto Kaiba bloke?" "What she's there in all?" "Ah Im on me way mate" Varon hastily packs away his duel deck and heads hops on his motor bike. He looks less than happy.

"Sorry boy but we'll ave to duel some afa time" He says, turning the ignition on.

Joey is completely pissed.

"Alright you pommy talkin bastard im gonna"... Joey throws off his Domino Jacket and raises his fists.

Tea's mobile then rings.

She gasps whem Yugi's name appears on the screen.

"Hey guys its Yugi" "I think he needs help" she yells in worry.

Joey and Tristan immediatley come running over to her. Joey forgets about Varon almost striaght away and focuses his attention on his little pal Yugi moto.

"Yugi"..."Okay we are on our way" "Hold on" "Max will fly us there?" "Great we will see you as soon as we can".

Tea hangs up and throws her phone into her bag.

"We are going to Duelist kingdom" She informs, grabbing The two boys by there shirts and heading down the street.

"Well it looks like I'll see you in California Dun it?" Varon winks, he then revs up his bike and speeds off...

"That ass is goin too?" Joey grunts.

"We dont have time to worry about him" Tea says, hastily pushing the two guys towards the bus stop.

"Joey you go tell serenity and duke", "Tristan get packed" Tea delegates.

"We are off to save our friend"...

Seto is standing beside one of his Kaiba Corp aircrafts. The sky is a mix of blue and redish pink and the sun is replaced with a quarter moon.

Mai is standing a few metres away from Seto. She has to convince him to not go through with this duel, at the same time she will not let on that she cares for him ...

"This is your fault" Seto hissed in Mai's direction.

"MY fault?" "Well I didnt think that you'd be crazy enough to beleive that phoney was pegasus" Mai retorts with her hands on her hips.

Seto looks to the ground, in his usual unfriendly and unhappy manner.

The night breeze starts to blow, swaying Mai's curls from side to side. Seto cannot help but look up at her. He glimpses at the blonde's soft alluring hair, setting his sapphire eyes just above her own violet pools.

Before Mai could glance back at him, Seto quickly shoots his eyes in the other direction. He had more pressing matters to concern himself with at this present time, than the way a certain female duelist looked in the cool night air.

Mokuba has remained pretty silent throughout but concerned for the saftey of his brother in this duel tommorrow, concerned yet again beyond beleif.

"So is this soul thing going to take my brothers soul forever?" he asks with a tremble in his voice.

Mai looks to the ground uneasily. How can you say the worst to someone so innocent with such devotion to the wellbeing of his older brother?

"I dont know Mokuba" Mai replies a little sadly. Mai knew full well what could happen if Seto loses and the chances of that happening were rather high.

I know he thinks he is invincible, but if he even dare risk the duel he is setting himself up for defeat.

Mai dare not speak the words she thinks. She had already made Seto wander by running in to try and stop his duel. Kajaku Mai is not going to let her true feelings just splur out on a wimb like some crazy love struck fangirl.

She takes a glance at the man whom she is busy thinking about (secretley) he remains stauncha and un afraid, though deep down he is just as fearful as Mokuba. Both of their fates will lie hands of some ex employee turned lunatic with a personal vendeta against K.C.

"All I can say is be careful" Mai says, trying to sound more assuring towards mokuba.

"That's all you can say?" Seto grunts back, raising his voice."I think that you confuse saying nothing atall with barging in uninvited to yell at me in the middle of a duel"

Mai is taken back by these un apprectiative words of Kaiba's. There is no way Kajaku is going to let HIM to talk to her like that.

"You're right Kaiba" She smiles in anger. "I did confuse myself". "I meant to say that you were stupid instead of crazy". Mai crosses her arms, proud of her retort.

Mokuba dosent like where this is heading, he hurridly races back into the KC jet to watch the verbal bashing from inside.

Seto is infuriated. There are many lines you just DONT cross with Kaiba and calling him stupid, which is clearly not true, is one of them. Mai knew that too but she had to say something that would affect his ego.

"No one calls me stupid" He says in deep anger. He digs his nails into his palms to supress his rage.

Mai crosses her arms and smirks.

"Looks like i just did" she replies.

Mai is about to walk over to the car where Vivian was waiting when Seto grabs her by the arm and pulls her inward so she is staring directly into his eyes.

"Why are you here?" he dosent ask, he demands to know.His teeth are almost fused together and the bitterness is intense in his face.

Mai pulls away from seto's grasp. She pretends to act calm when really she was shocked and a little scared by his fury.

"I thought I made that clear in the kingdom" She replies, rubbing her arm.

"You seem to know an awful lot about this soul stealing" he says suspicously. "Furthermore how did you know that pegasus was Amelda in disguise?"

Mai dosent know what to say. She didnt know that Pegasus was the redheaded guy until she arrived at Duelist Kingdom. The blonde woman stands silently, just glaring at Seto with her purple eyes.

I cant tell him now, he's furious...but if i dont he could be lost...forever...

Seto hints for mai to answer him.

She is standing to one side, doing her best to hide the inner angst she has about tommorrow.

"Look Amelda is dangerous" "Noone should have to duel someone like him".

Seto rolls his eyes at the thought of that ginger being dangerous.

"No he is a god damned nut case who needs to be locked away" Seto looks at Mai with an evil grin. "When i finish him tommorrow that is the first thing I will do".

Mai is annoyed that Seto sees no harm in this man Amelda.

"It wont be that easy", the night breeze sends a slight shiver through her body.

"I have duelled him" "I know what he is capable of"
Mai lies , sounding as convincing as possible.

Seto is less than pleased that this woman doubts his duelling ability.

"Yes well nobody beats me at anything" "And tommorrow will be no exception".

Vivian is watching the two argue from inside her vechile. She grows more than a little concerned about this Amelda character.

"Stealing his soul?" she says to herself. "Right thats it"

she hastily slams her car door and proceeds to interupt Seto and Mai's little conversation.

Mai becomes even more convinced that talking to Seto is like conversing with a brick wall. She stands tall, avoiding the cold air and giving the ceo peircing looks.

"I'm going to check on Mokuba" Seto says dryly. He walks up the stairs to board the aircraft when he pauses and turns around.

Just before he is in the plane he says, "I guess your warning was of no effect" "Thanks anyway".

"Dont you think you should listen to her?" Vivian calls out from below.

Seto almost falls off the stairs when he see's the dark haired, cherry lipped employee of his standing on the concrete.

Mai is also a little shocked to see her one and only girl pal standing beside her. She did not like anyone else fighting her battles for her, however in this situation, perhaps it was necassary.

Seto heads back down the stairs to give Vivian a talking to.

"I am so fired" she thinks, biting her bottom lip.

Tea, Tristan and Joey arrive outside Pegasus's private airportat approx 9.pm.

There is a burgandy colored aircraft waiting to transport them, and three tall men wearing black suits, standing by.

"Woah Peg must be pretty keen to have us huh?" Joey says, gazing at the surroundings.

"Yeah I dont think Ive ever seen something that flash in my life" Tristan exclaims.

"Yes well as lovely as it is" "Max dosent shovel random acts of kindness for no reason" Tea informs, heading over tothe aircraft.

"What she just say?" Joey scratches his head in confusion.

Tristan laughs and hits him over the head playfully.

"Hey you" Joey chases after his friend until the two of them are greeted by two men who take their suitcases from them.

"I hope mine isnt too heavy" Tea yells out from the inside of the plane.

"It will be fine" One of the men reply, loading the luggage.

"Hey you two check it out" Tea says in adoration at the inside of the beautiful aircraft.

They each run for a booth which is accompanied with a varnished table holding a vase of flowers on top.

A tall dark haired woman in a blue unifrom heads towards them. She is holding a silver tray with three glasses of champagne.

"Care for a drink?" She asks politely.

Tristan beams at the pretty hostess.

"Talk about your life a luxury" Joey says, leaning back in his large chair.

After what felt like only half an hour, the three friends arrive in California and are escourted to D Kingodm in a private taxi.

The streets are alight with colour and sound.

"Welcome to San francisco" Joey grins.

The sloping streets are a novelty to the three teens. Tristan pokes his head out the window.

"Hey look you guys" He gazes at the lit up bridge placed over water.

"Thats the golden gate bridge" Joey replies, pointing his hand out the car window.

"Really?" Tristan asks, with is eyes widened. The two are acting like children would on christmas eve staring at a decorated christmas tree.

"Thats the one and only" Joey exclaims, pretty happy with himself that he actually knows something.

Green Day starts to play through the speakers.

"Jesus of Subirbia" They all yell together.

"To live and not to breath"
"To die in tragedy"

Tristan and Joey sing along, nodding their heads up and down so their hair falls in front of their eyes.

Tea just bops along to the song.

"A million and one Fuckin times" They sing, going as crazy as ever.

The taxi driver turns his head around slightly, and raises an eye brow.

"Hey guys remember what we're here for" Tea reminds the two guys, in a firmer tone.

"Yes voice of reason" Joey jokes. Tristan chuckles. Tea gives a Joey an un impressed look. That of an angry school teacher.

Both boys freeze, like school kids who had just been told to "shut up".

When the other two quieten down (and the song finally finishes) Tea gazes at the stars as theyre driving by.

"Please be okay" She whispers into the night sky.

She closes her eyes and thinks of Yugi!

Yay another chapter written! Oh and I actually like that Green day song, it just goes on for a long time..but its still cool )

Please R&R

still no sign of Rex...what will happen at the duel tommorrow? Will Mai ever tell seto how she feels? or will pride hold her back? Plus, what will happen between Joey and Varon? are they fighting for the wrong girl? or is there another reason?

Hmmmm!

thanks guys!
