Chapter 3

The Best of The Best

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh… however I do own the plot line and original characters in this story.

A.j. and Ally are the same person. It's short for Alejandra-Jordan, she was sent to an orphanage after her mother was killed when she was five. She's three years older than Seto.

Bold words are the person on the other line of the phone.

Ring…Ring… "Hello?" asks a woman on the other line.

"Hey you, it's me." Seto says as he rubs his temples. He's been staring at a computer screen for the last two hours and needed to take a break. If he had worked for even a minute longer he feared that his eyes would explode.

"I know, hence actually answering. What's up, Boo?"

"You know that girl I told you about?"

"Yeah, what about her?"

"I kissed her, she kissed me back…and then a few minutes later she kissed me and I kissed back…" He really needed someone to talk to; he knew that A.j. was someone he could talk to no matter what had gone on or stupid thing he had done.

"Oh damn, Boo…Does this mean she knows how you feel about her? Or was it a spontaneous, run by the seat of you're pants kind of thing?" A.j. was extremely curios, was sitting on her bike in the middle of the woods. She had completely stopped her training just to talk to Seto.

"Seat of my pants? What the hell does that mean, Ally?"

"Not the point." You could tell by the sound of her voice she was rolling her eyes.

"It was a spur of the moment thing. I feel like such a moron…what should I do?"

"Well watch how she treats you. If she acts like nothing happened but gets nervous around you, it means she likes you. But if she goes out of her way to be away from you it means she just wants to be friends or that she thinks you're creepy."

"Thanks, A.j. I owe you. You're the best." Seto laughed at her last comment.

"The best of the best. Boo, I got to get back to training. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay."

"Send Mokie my love."

"Will do, bye," Seto began to get up from his chair."

"Bye." They both hung up, Seto began walking down towards the pool, while A.j. started up her dirt bike and drove around the woods, getting a better handle for terrine she didn't expect.

"Hey Mokie." Seto said as he knelt down by the pool side, trying his best not to get wet. "A.j. sends her love."

"You talked to her! No fair! I wanted to say 'hi!'" Mokuba pouted, "I'm going to go call her again."

"She's training right now." Mokuba looked sadly at Seto. "Calm down, she'll be back from the race in a few days."

"Are you going to call her again?"

"No. She's got the race tomorrow and then she has to get packed up to come back home. She'll be back in two days." Seto ruffled the smaller boy's hair before he got up. As he was walking back inside, Joey gave him the dirtiest look he could muster, which simply had him ending up looking like he was constipated. Shaking his head, Seto walked back into the house. He began up a staircase, going back to his room to either sleep or get more work done.

Mokuba dove into the water and searched for the penny that Yugi had thrown in.

"Tea, you dun't actually like dat jerk do ya?" Joey asked while everyone was playing in the two except them.

"I don't know… Look do we have to talk about this now? Someone might hear us and quite frankly I don't want them to know!" Tea looked at Joey desperately. "Can we keep it between us for a while?"

"Fine, but we can't keep dis from da guys forever." Joey stated, trying to be serious. He ran climbed up the ladder to the high dive and jumped in, leaving Tea to her thoughts.

Two days later

"Honey! I'm HOME!" A.j. walked through the doors of the manor with her duffle bag in tow. Her long blonde and black hair was in two braids and her bright green eyes sparkled underneath her sunglasses. Her jean jacket hid her well toned body and black shorts showed off her muscular (but not overly so) calves. Mokuba ran out of one of the many rooms and tackled her into a hug. A few people whom A.j. didn't recognize followed him. Seto walked through the doors with her backpack in tow. "Help me get this shit to my room."

Mokuba attempted to grab her duffle bag but failed miserably. Tristen and Duke noticed how pretty she was and jumped forward to help Mokuba, but Seto had already handed Mokuba the backpack and taken the duffle himself. "I'll be back in a few minutes! I want you all to meet her!" And with that disappeared up the stairs with Seto and A.j.

Ten Minutes Later

"My ankle is killing me… I don't even have a good story for it! Except that Mark tripped me on my way to the truck and my bike fell on it." A voice complained, obviously not happy with being hurt.

"I'm carrying you aren't I? So quit complaining." Seto said gruffly as Mokuba opened the door to let the two through. Seto was giving A.j. a piggy back ride so that she wouldn't have to walk. "A.j. this is everyone. Everyone this is Alejandra-Jordan aka A.j. or Ally. Okay and now we leave."

A.j. kicked him with her good foot causing him to stop. "Names?"

They all went around the room and said their names. When it came to Tristen he took her hand and kissed it and said his name. Duke did the same not to be out done but kissed it twice. Before Joey could say his name A.J asked, "Do they always slobber on females hands?"

"Only when they see a hott one." A.j. jumped down and stood in front of Joey, she appreciated the complement.

"Thanks, you are?" She said holding out her hand.

"Joey," He shook it and then she stepped back and leaned on Seto's shoulder. When they came to Tea A.j. said, "I know who you are Ms. Friendship Speech."

Tea blushed furiously as Seto nodded at A.j. She smiled, "You annoy Seto so well when I'm not around! You've truly earned a hug." When she put her arms around Tea's shoulder she whispered, "I know about the kiss." Tea gasped, but before Ally pulled away she added, "What do you except? I'm his best friend." She walked back over to Seto, and jumped back onto his back…well not really jumped but you get the idea.

"Okay so, y'all are Boo's friends?" She asked. Everyone looked confused except for Mokuba.

"She calls Seto, Boo and she calls me Monkey! She's not good with names, the only on she'll remember is Joey and Tea. She has a dog named Joey, and Tea is infamous for her speeches." Mokuba explained. "She dropped her bike on her foot and sprained her ankle that's why Seto is carrying her."

"I'm a professional dirt bike rider."

"I've heard about you! You're one of the only female riders, and out of all of them you're considered the best of the best." Tristen said, trying to impress her with his knowledge.

"Yeah, I taught both these guys how to ride but didn't teach them how to do hard tricks, like the double flip I'm famous for. Well I'm famous for than and the fact that I can beat the boys, and do that often." Ally looked bored, that was her day job she'd rather be hanging out with the Kaiba brothers than riding, if she had to she'd give up her carrier for them. "Let's not talk about riding, especially since my bike decided to be mean to me."

"Stop swinging you're legs before I fall." Seto growled.

"I can't help it! My foot fell asleep!" Ally muttered obviously annoyed with her foot being asleep. "I'm hungry…TO THE KITCHEN!" She put one finger out in front of her and kicked her legs trying to get Seto to move but her 'horse' was acting more a mule.

"Keep kicking me and I'll drop you." Ally pouted and then smiled evilly.

"Okay fine, but if you do drop me then I swear to go I will print out you're entire journal and give everyone in this room copies, with highlighted must read sections." Ally whispered in his ear. She rose her eyebrow and smirked at him her lip ring making the small smirk look menacing. "So, Boo, to the kitchen?"

"I feel like a god damn horse or something." Seto said as he turned.

"Well, you're acting more like a mule." Mokuba offered.

"Shut up Mokuba or you'll be the one carrying her around." Seto called.

Ally smacked Seto in the back of his head, "Be nice to the Monkeys, they have poop and they know how to throw it. Now, I want cookies so: to the kitchen!" She once again pointed and swung her legs. This time he obliged and walked out the door and towards the kitchen.

"So what do you guys think of Ally?" Mokuba asked curiously.

"I want to know why in the world a beautiful, athletic, funny woman is doing being friends, not just friends though. Best friends with Seto Kaiba." Joey asked, almost everyone nodded in agreement.

"We all met in the orphanage. By the time Seto had decided he was sick of Gozoburo, he told Ally to get the papers ready. She is our legal guardian, hence her living with us. We kept in touch with her in secret through the years. She became good friends with the guards that our step-father had hired. She ran away from the orphanage a week after we left, she stayed near here and tended to Seto's wounds after Gozoburo's beatings. She truly does love him and care about us; which is why she gave us both nicknames, I'm monkey, Nicole is Ma, Arête-Ma's 'little' brother-is Artie, and Seto is Boo."

"Ya know when I lived in America, girls would call deir close friends and boyfriends 'Boo' it's slang affectionate term." Joey explained, Mokuba nodded, for once Joey was making sense to everyone.

"Which is why Seto is Boo. She also calls him Love, while her other nickname for me is Sugar and Sweetie. Ally always says I'm going to get a million cavities." Mokuba added.

"Why are we talking about you're nicknames?" A voice asked from the door, it was Seto, who had followed A.j. back holding a small bowl with a few cookies in it as she crutched her way over to an arcade racing game and sat down in the chair. He handed her the bowl so that she could munch happily on her cookies.

"I asked why a girl like A.j. would hang out wit a guy like you." Joey stated, gruffly.

"Because he's been my best friend for a very long time, because I trust him with my life and because he makes kick ass cookies and lets me lick the spoon." A.j. said as if it was no big deal, "Speaking of cookies try one and you'll want to be his best friend." She took a chunk of one of the chocolate-chip cookies she was eating and handed it to Joey. He looked at her skeptically ((A/N: What up now! I used a big word!)) And watched her munch on the rest of the cookie that his part was once on and took a bite. To his surprise it was amazingly good.

Standing next to Seto, Joey said, "You're my new best friend! Can I have another cookie, Ally?"

"Go kill yourself!" Ally snapped as she shielded the bowl with her body.

"Joey! Don't try and take Ally's food! She left a scar on Seto when he tried take a sip of her soda." To prove what Mokuba said, Seto rolled up his sleeve and reviled a bite shaped scar on his forearm. Ally kissed her finger tips and pressed them onto his arm. He knelt behind her and hugged her shoulders, putting her in his lap Seto held out his hand and she put part off a cookie in it which he threw to Mokuba, who caught it in his mouth.

"I have a question." Bakura said, lifting his head slightly from Ryou's shoulder.

"Who's that?"

"Bakura, the guy he's attached to is Ryou." Seto explained to Ally.

"Are they twins?"

"No. We are lovers." Ryou offered, she looked a bit confused but shrugged it off.

"Anyway, back to my question."

"Dun dun dun…" A.j. said in an attempt at being dramatic.

"Grr…" Ryou nudged Bakura with his shoulder. "Fine…no one will die…" Ally looked even more confused, Seto spun a single finger, signaling that Bakura was crazy. "Are the two of you dating?"

The Kaiba brothers, Ally and Nicole all began laughing hysterically. Mokuba was on his back, holding his stomach. Nicole had snorted, Ally was near tears and Seto was just shaking his head and laughing quietly. Ally's make-up was beginning to run as tears streamed down her face. "Okay, okay, okay…clam down. It wasn't that funny."

"You're right, god you're so sexy." Seto winked and licked his lips at her, causing her to go into another fit of laughter.

"I don't get it what's so funny?" Joey asked, extremely confused.

"Joey. Would you ever date Serenity?" Mokuba asked looking at him as seriously as possible.

"Hell no! Dat's nasty! She's my sister!" Joey looked at Mokuba disgusted.

"Well, Seto and Ally are like brother and sister. Everyone thinks that they're dating but because they aren't and never will. All the tabloids say they are but we just make a huge joke out of it." Mokuba explained trying to catch his breath from the laughter.

"We're just really close. Not dating, just friends." Ally said simply, she was about to finish her thought when thunder was heard outside.

"Alright, looks like everyone has to stay the night. We'll all stay in the living room." Nicole said, taking the leadership roll and leading everyone to the living room. She took Seto and Mokuba to get blankets and pillows while Ally lounged on the couch and ate her cookies.
