Chapter 7:
*No One's POV*
"With Kaiba still reeling from his loss to Yugi," the boss of the group speaks, "it's the perfect time to seize control and bring this company's reputation back to what it once war."
"Patience, gentlemen," Pegasus interrupts lifting his wine glass up. "Once I defect Little Yugi and Little Meiko, Kaiba's company will become ours."
"Of course, had you disposed of Kaiba as originally promised," the boss speaks from the large screen, "we would have already assumed power, but don't worry, we'll finish what you started."
"No. No one is to lay even a finger upon Seto Kaiba," Pegasus firmly orders.
"But if he's able to rescue his younger brother, will lose our only tie to the Kaiba name," the boss notices as Pegasus take a sip of his wine.
"Mokuba's future role as figurehead will not be jeopardized by his older brother's presence. Trust me, gentlemen. I have my own plans for Seto Kaiba and the technical knowledge he possesses," smirked the creator as his Millenium eye shines.
"Uhh, don't fail us."
"Gentlemen," he stands up, "Kaiba Corp. is about to enter to become obscenely rich." He hums and chuckles before going over to the window. "As for you, Kaiba, our partnership is just beginning."
A helicopter is flying towards the island with Seto Kaiba flying it.
'I can't believe all my business associates would turn against me after a single defeat,' he thinks to himself. 'Then again, losing to Yugi has shaken my self-confidence too.'
*Flashback*
"You're a good duelist Kaiba," Yami Yugi smirks at Seto from their duel, "but not good enough to stop Exodia," he reveals the last card of the puzzle.
Exodia stands mighty against the three Blue Eyes White Dragons.
With creating energy among his hands, Yami Yugi orders his monster, "Exodia, obliterate!"
The attack destroys the dragons one by one, causing Seto to scream.
"You play only for power Kaiba," Yami Yugi tells him, "and that is why you lost. But if you put your heart in the game, there's nothing you can't do."
*End of Flashback*
'Maybe Yugi was right,' Seto thought to himself. 'But I can't start second guessing myself now,' his eyes narrows a little. 'Not when Pegasus has kidnapped my little brother Mokuba. No. If I'm gonna face off against Pegasus, I have to rely on my old dueling instincts. That's the only chance I have of freeing Mokuba.'
'Big Brother!'
'And once Mokuba is out of harm's way, I'll unleash my wrath on the vultures who conspired to take over my company. If Pegasus thought I would just sit idly by as they dismantled my life's work, he was wrong. I'll see to it that they all regret ever crossing Seto Kaiba,' he continues. 'Especially when I bring in the friend of the family Meiko Heiwa.'
*Meiko's POV*
I became a new friend among the group, but they understood that I want to focus on the tournament. Or at least until I get to the castle. But since I need a break now, they are some good company.
Sleep wasn't helping me. Shadi usually helps me and Yami when we couldn't sleep. Whenever our father figure isn't around, dancing or swimming helps, but since the only source of swimming that I have is the ocean, it probably isn't a good idea at night.
I find a nice location to do the dancing nearby. My Yami has a passion of dancing, in particular, belly dancing and I develop a love for it. She stands in front of me as we begin.
At some point, I couldn't help, but noticed that a pair of eyes watching us. Then I take a walk still moving my shoulders when my eyes meet the familiar purple eyes of Yugi Muto. He was watching secretly from behind a tree while his Yami, in spiritual form, on the other side, secretly watching my Yami.
The corner of my lips curl up into a smirk. Yami is feeling the same thing. We do a few more moves, but making sure they have a great view of us.
"We can see you both," I speak up with a smirk, continue to dance.
"It's okay you can come out both of you," Yami smirks as well, still dancing.
Yugi and his Yami steps forward, nervous and embarrassed of being caught.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked with a smile, stopping.
"I saw you not by the campsite and I got worried," Yugi blushes more.
"That's so sweet of you," Yami giggled.
"Would you both like to dance?" I smiled, grabbing his arm.
"Uhhh, uhhh," he blushes at the touch as I take him to a position.
"Come on," Yami smiles, grabbing his Yami's arm, who was blushing as well.
Yami and I got them into a slow dance position which eventually they give in surprising us of how good they are dancing. Warmth is spread in between us like before we first met. I smiled to Yugi and place my head on his chest. At first he hesitated, but soon places his head on my head. My eyes open a little to see that our Yamis are mirroring our actions.
