Couple notes: One, thank you to everyone for the reviews. I plan to play with the 'Review Reply' button at the very end of the story.

Two, 'DOMA', or the dub version, 'Doom', is the arc in the anime after Battle City, and before KC Grand Prix. Pretty much, the world and the duel monsters world is in trouble, and our heroes, Yuugi and co., plus Kaiba, must save both worlds!

Re: Seto Kaiba, age 17

Q. Mr. Kaiba…you are the president and CEO of Kaiba Corporations, correct?

I thought that would be obvious. And, by the way. I can speak English.

Q. Our apologies, Mr. Kaiba. We just assumed—

Yes, you've been doing a lot of that lately. Why am I here?

Q. We just have a few questions to ask you, Mr. Kaiba. Recently, Kaiba Corporations' technology was used to commit acts of –

My company had no part in that.

Q. Once again, our apologies, Mr. Kaiba, but we have the evidence that suggests your company's technology –

Did you just hear yourself? You said you have evidence that suggests my company had some part in all this. As I've said before, my company has no part in all this.

Q. Your technology was used—

My technology has been out for almost two years. That gives plenty of time for someone to develop a sub-standard version of it.

Q. The group known as 'Doma' tried to take over your company --

And they failed. I'll ask you again, why am I here?

Q. We are trying to determine your company's involvement in the recent events surrounding the group known as 'Doma'.

…You people are idiots.

Q. Mr. Kaiba—

Look, you're wasting my time. I have a company to run and no time to entertain the United States military. If you have no further questions, gentlemen, I'll just excuse myself.

Q. Mr. Kaiba, your company is facing serious charges. Conspiracy, terrorism, and extensive property damage, and that's just the beginning of a very long list. And, based on the evidence we've gathered, this all looks like a publicity stunt made by your company.

And as far as I know, this could be your attempt to wrap up this case by blaming my company. You haven't caught those responsible, and given the level of damage sustained in the United States, that isn't acceptable. Now you're pointing fingers and hoping you point to the right person.

Q. We are conducting an investigation, Mr. Kaiba. We're examining all of the evidence carefully, and a lot of it is directing us to you and your company. We are well aware of the publicity stunts you have done to help promote your technology in Japan. Given that you have recently started investing in the United States, and have yet to promote your company, a stunt like this wouldn't be too far of a stretch.

This would be a fascinating scenario to explore if I wasn't already bored.

Q. Mr. Kaiba—

That, and there is nothing for my company to gain from it.

Q. Mr. Kaiba, if you do not cooperate, you do not present the chance the clear your name.

Hm, maybe I would cooperate if you stopped wasting my time. If you're going to accuse me of something, I want to see this so-called 'evidence'. And it better be good, because I already have plans to sue.

Q. Fine. But we still need to ask you a few questions. Tell us about Yuugi Mutou.

Yuugi…Why is he relevant to this?

Q. He is a specific target of the group known as 'Doma'. Given your history with the young man—

So you're implying I would spend my company resources to go after him?

Q. Your rivalry isn't exactly a secret.

But of course. It keeps the fans interested.

Q. Mr. Kaiba, if we find you risked national security to go after this boy—

I would say you were placing too much importance on Yuugi Mutou. He's a decent duelist with a piece of crap for a deck, and that is all he is.

Q. So why would someone go after him? And why using the card game Duel Monsters?

Isn't that the purpose of your investigation?

Q. Yes, and we want answers, Mr. Kaiba. You were there when he put a stop to 'Doma'. What were they after? Why did they target him?

…You find it hard to believe this was all about a card game, don't you?

Q. Mr. Kaiba, if you are withholding information—

You'll what? Arrest me? Charge me with obstruction of justice? I'd like to see you try.

Q. Don't push us, Mr. Kaiba—

And don't threaten me. Now, listen. I will tell you what all this is about. Have you ever played Duel Monsters? No, I didn't think so. What makes the game great would be lost on you. Here, this is my deck. We'll play a little game.

Q. What is the point of this—

Be patient. Now, each card as a certain number of attack points. Are you writing this down? Good. Now, you will draw a card, and I will draw a card. Whoever has the higher attack points, wins. Get it?

Q. Mr. Kaiba, we don't have time for games—

You've wasted a considerable amount of time, but at least here, I'm trying to show you something. Pick a card. Good. Now, was that so hard? You've drawn Hitotsu-me Giant. A fairly decent card when played correctly. Now, my draw.

…I've drawn the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Attack points are three thousand, and as it is the more powerful card, it defeats Hitotsu-me Giant.

Q. I still don't see the point—

Then you weren't paying attention. Now, gentlemen, you've wasted enough of my time. I've answer enough questions, and if you wish to ask me more, you can contact my lawyer.

Q. Don't think this is over, Mr. Kaiba.

Oh, I don't. I'll see you in court, gentlemen.
