Perspectives 03 : Fubuki
"Can I help you?"
"Oh, I'm just wandering around. Wanted to check this place out. Before I went back to Duel Academia."
"Ah. Normally we'd chase off loiterers but you look like a Duelist anyhow."
"Heh. You're pretty perceptive for a kid."
"You might know my brother then. The only man who has earned the right to be known as the rival of the King of Games."
"You mean, Kaiba Seto. So you must be Kaiba Mokuba."
"Yeah. I noticed you're staring at the picture of the Blue Eyes."
"Yeah, but who's the girl in the background? I'm unfamiliar with her. Is she a Duelist?"
"More like an echo."
"Heh. You have cryptic ways of talking there Mokuba, er, I mean Kaiba-san."
"No Kaiba-san for me. Every time someone calls me that, I keep looking over my shoulder for my big brother."
"Aah."
The elevator came to a halt as the bell above it dinged, discharging its occupant. A calm looking young man walked out and looked over to where Mokuba and Fubuki stood. "Mokuba," he greeted. "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, this is... um," said Mokuba, trailing off as Fubuki walked forward and held out his hand.
"Tenjyoin Fubuki, nice to meet you Kaiba-san."
"Feh, don't call me that," snapped Seto. "It makes me look over my shoulder for the old man. So, you look like that kid who vanished on Duel Academia a few years back."
"Yes sir," said Fubuki. "You know of me?"
Seto smirked. "I funded the building of it with the approval of the chairman. I'd think I'd know what would be happening at that school. So, you Duel?"
Fubuki knew a challenge when he heard one and Mokuba helped unlock Seto's case. "Yes sir."
"Then lets see how you fare."
Fubuki's face split in a wide grin. "Yes sir!" he proclaimed and with a jaunty expression and quirky step in his pace, he sat down across from Seto, digging out his deck.
