Chapter 16

While waiting for Seto in his office, Gozaburo began checking the day's stats. Seto had won his duel with Bakura. Yugi had won his duel against Mai Valentine.

Chuckling, Gozaburo silently said "Seems the pharaoh is quite skilled as well. I wouldn't expect anything else from him though."

Next Gozaburo noticed Marie had won her duel with Joey. Illidan had of course won his duel with Noa.

Growling, Gozaburo said "That fool Noa was supposed to stop Illidan. Illidan is growing in confidence, and I must break him soon. I'm not even sure what Millennium Item he has. I need to know. The same for Marie. Those two both conceal their items, but that's alright. I'll find out soon enough."

The last duel that had happened was Marik winning his duel over Keith.

The new stats showed the following: 1st Yugi Moto, 2nd Seto Kaiba, 3rd Marik Ishtar, 4th Illidan Stormrage, 5th Marie O'Dell, 6th Noa Kaiba, 7th Bakura Ryou, 8th Bandit Keith, 9th Mai Valentine, and 10th Joey Wheeler.

Laughing, Gozaburo said "I'll have to break Illidan with Seto tomorrow. Once Illidan faces the Egyptian God, Obelisk the Tormentor, he'll lose! It's a perfect plan. Muwhahahaha!"

Suddenly, Gozaburo's door was kicked open without even the slightest sign of knocking. There stood Seto, Gozaburo's adopted son with a look on his face that could kill.

Grumpily, Seto said "I don't have time for you Gozaburo. What do you want, and make it fast!"

Chuckling, Gozaburo responded "Gee, you're in a good mood. Don't you have the respect to ask how you're dear old step father is?"

Seto quickly spat back "I don't care if you go curl up and die."

Laughing, Gozaburo said "Well, I see you're as cheerful as ever. Take a seat, and I'll explain why I called you in here."

"I'll stand." responded Seto.

Shrugging, Gozaburo said "Fine then. I called you here to tell you that you will be facing off against Illidan tomorrow."

In a rather irritated voice, Seto replied "So?"

"It will be a title vs. title duel. It will be your World Championship vs. Illidan's Intercontinental Championship." continued Gozaburo.

Again, Seto responded grumpily "Should I really care?"

Slightly annoyed, Gozaburo said "Yes, you should, cause the winner will become both the World Champion and Intercontinental Champion."

Slightly smiling, Seto said "Ah, I see. So, the winner is going to be a double champion. Still, why should I care?"

Growling cause of Seto's irritating questions, Gozaburo responded with "Cause I want you to break Illidan in half! Destroy him thoroughly for me!"

Laughing, Seto said "Listen pops, I don't do what you say anymore. At one time, maybe, but never again. So you can forget me following your orders. I'll destroy Illidan in our duel tomorrow, but I won't do it for you. I'll do it for me, and me only."

Irritated, Gozaburo replied "Fine then. That is all I wished to talk to you about."

Turning to leave, Seto said "Good, cause I'm leaving. Also, you'd better return my throne back to Kaiba Corp. before I get home. If it's not returned, I'll return and take it by force. Remember, you are the weak one here, not me!"

Before Gozaburo could respond, Seto walked out the door, and slammed it.

Laughing evilly, Gozaburo said "That fool has no idea that the only powerful one here is me! I'll enjoy sending him to the Shadow Realm after I dispose of the others, muwahahaha!"
