Hi everyone. Again, its been ages since I've updated and I apologize for that. School's been just hectic. Anyhows, I've hit a writer's block on Fate's Hand so Im gonna need time to think on that but until then, let's see what Mr. Kaiba's in for today shall we?
Chapter 6: A Duel with Bakura:
Kaiba sat on the opposite side of the table from Kisara, slowly eating his steak while watching raising an eye to see if she was staring at him about every three minutes. Mokuba noticed his brother's interesting behavior despite his vain attempts to hide it and chuckled sinisterly. "Gee Seto, if you like her so much than stop staring and talk to her!" Mokuba shouted out loud causing Kaiba to snap to attention. He quickly put a hand over Mokuba's mouth. "Don't be so rude." Mokuba nodded. "You're no fun anymore." Kaiba shrugged and brushed off his brother's comment. Kisara sighed as she watched the two. "Seto…do you…like the rain?" Kaiba looked up and eyed her curiously. "Yes…and it's Kaiba to you." Rika chuckled. "Forgive him; he has no skills with women." Kisara giggled as she watched Seto turn to both siblings and give them the evil eye. "Both of you, are you done?" They nodded in terror. Kaiba noticed their fright and sighed. His face lightened its dark expression. "Just…go upstairs…now. Don't forget to brush your teeth you two." Rika and Mokuba nodded as they quietly made their way up the steps. "He so likes her." Rika declared as soon as they were out of ear range from the eldest Kaiba. Mokuba nodded vigorously. "Yes he does! I wonder…do you think she was gonna ask him out?" Rika nodded. "Obviously Mokuba did you not see that she was nervous?!" Rika almost shrieked. Mokuba shook his head stupidly. Rika shrugged. "You boys are all so dense I tell you." Mokuba made an annoyed expression. "And you're too much of a romantic." Mokuba countered. Rika sighed; she knew she wasn't going to win. "Fine! Let's go find out what's happening though!" She finally declared. Mokuba nodded as the two slowly crept their way back down the stairs.
When they arrived, Rika gasped silently but sharply and Mokuba almost fell on top of her. "What's wrong?!" He asked in horror thinking they'd been caught. "He…he's actually standing next to her!" Rika almost stuttered. Mokuba gaped. "You're kidding! I gotta see this!" Mokuba exclaimed as they creped behind the wall to obtain a better view of their targets. Kisara and Kaiba stood silently staring at the rain out the window. "The rain…it's a calming thing isn't it?" Kaiba brushed it off. "Please, it's just water falling from the sky." Kisara sighed. "You know, I'm not going to leave you alone until we become at least friends. I'll never leave you. I'll be right here for you. I'll understand that perhaps maybe I don't know what you've been through…I understand that you've been hurt and you're heart has been iced away, but…don't throw it away…because there may be someone who loves that heart." Kaiba almost laughed at her words. "You think that people genuinely care about me? Look around Kisara! People have tried kidnapping my brother and sister, and assassinating us all, and for what, a stupid company, money, their selfish greed!" Kaiba almost shouted. Mokuba and Rika only watched with miserable eyes. "I didn't know he was so miserable running Kaiba Corp Mokuba." Mokuba hummed. "Neither did I." Kaiba shook with rage as he looked back on all the times he had to fight his way out of crowds where he had been or Mokuba or Rika had been shot at just to recover from the stress.
Kisara put a graceful hand on Seto's shoulder her eyes reflecting sympathy. "You really are right. I could never understand you no matter how much I may try, but you hear me Seto…I am your friend, and I'll always be your friend. Please…tell me more; I want to know the man under that mask…please?" Kaiba stared in shock once more. "You…" Kisara nodded. "Yes, what about me?" He stuttered, Kaiba had never encountered anyone like her. She was…truly…and genuinely his friend…but like hell he was going to admit that. "You're already staying and story time is over. Why don't you retire for the night, I've got to Kaiba Corp to fill out work; and you two!" Mokuba and Rika froze in place as they turned their heads to Kaiba. "You're coming too; Ra knows what you two are scheming." Kaiba stated as Rika and Mokuba happily donned their rain coats. Kaiba donned his out attire and began out the door as Kisara ran up and crashed into his back. He turned as if on instinct to catch her falling form. "Is something wrong?" He asked. She panted heavily as she had practically sprinted to catch up to them. "I'm coming too…It's not every day I get to see the inside of the Kaiba Corp president's office now is it?" She said happily. Kaiba nodded and turned away from her. "Do what you want, but we still didn't finish our previous conversation." Kisara nodded. "Yeah…and I actually have a few things I still want to ask." Kaiba nodded. "So do I." Mokuba and Rika looked from them to each other. "Conversation?" They stated aloud simultaneously.
Kaiba turned to them and pointed a parental finger. "You two stay out of it." Mokuba and Rika shrugged but nodded reluctantly. Kaiba and Kisara walked ahead the path first with the two younger ones following close behind. They didn't realize it, but Bakura was hiding in the alley corner, riding in his silver hybrid. "Well, well, well, my search takes me to Priest Seto does it? How sweet, the legend of the woman with white hair and blue eyes is not just a myth after all." Bakura stated evilly as he slowly followed them.
Kaiba threw off his rain coat and hung it upon his office's coat rack, Mokuba, Rika and lastly Kisara following his action. Kaiba eyed them all with a stressed eye. "It's like a bunch of lost puppies." He said sighing to himself. "What's up?" Seto jumped when he realized Kisara was in his face staring at him with a questioning look on her face. "Nothing Kisara." He said through his teeth. She found a couch to sit on and sighed lazily as she found it quite comfortable. "You better not be wearing perfume or something. I wouldn't want the boys from work to come sitting down and just one couch smell like a woman." Kaiba said bluntly since the children were strictly ordered to go the game room. Kisara got up to see him already typing against the sound of the rain clicking against the window. "Who said I'd want to on just one couch?" Kaiba stopped typing and stared at her. "Don't. ever. Bring. That. Up. Again." Kaiba said trying to sound as menacing as possible but to his disappointment Kisara only found it reason to make her way to him and sit on his lap with a playful laugh. "Get off of me." Kaiba demanded. Kisara shook her head still laughing. "Nope!" Kaiba didn't mean too, but her constant happiness caused him to laugh with her to which she froze in response. He stopped realizing his mistake. "Did you just laugh?" She asked silently. He shook his head. "Hmph, what you heard was merely a figment of your imagination." Kisara raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?" She asked daringly. Kaiba neared her face so that they had complete eye contact. "Yes." Kisara suddenly switched the position so now it was Kaiba leaning over the desk in a captured position. "I don't think so." Kisara laughed thinking she had won, when Kaiba quickly used the element of surprise to stop her in her tracks and force her over to the sofa so they could sit on the opposite edges.
Kaiba shrugged as he regained his composure. "Forgive me, I shouldn't be so childish." Kisara shook her head and tackled him so that she was on top. "Don't apologize. You were having fun! That's all I wanted." Kaiba's eyes widened at her words. The tension rose, the heat grew, Kisara's hair fluttered down to where Kaiba could smell her scent…and he liked it. Their lips neared, as they closed their eyes as the passionate flames built up in their souls. Suddenly, lightning whipped through the building causing the duo to jump from the chair. The lights flickered until finally shutting off and yet, Kaiba's computer remained on. Fuzzy at best, but on nonetheless. Kaiba and Kisara walked to it. "What the?!" Kaiba shouted as Bakura's image appeared holding both children by the shirts. "If you want them back, you better come and duel me Kaiba." Bakura said eerily before the screen shut off. Kaiba slammed his hand on the desk. "Damn it!" Kisara rushed to her coat's pocket pulling out their decks. He eyed her suspiciously. "How'd you know I forgot my deck." She smiled. "Let's just say that I saw it on the table and brought it so you could play with me." She said as Kaiba smirked. "Heh, guess that little dream is over. But first, I need to get Mokuba and Rika back. You wait here, he could have a gun." Kaiba neared the door, but a soft had caught his shoulder. He only shrugged. "Hurry up. We're wasting time." He complained. Kisara nodded as the two flew up the stairs.
Finally, they slammed the door to the roof top open, where they found the two siblings unconscious and Bakura laughing before them. "What did you do to them?!" Kisara demanded. Bakura waved a scolding finger at her. "Now, now my pretty it's rude to shout." Kisara growled at his antics as Kaiba pulled out his deck and slid it furiously into his duel disk. "C'mon! Pull out you're deck! It's time to duel!" Bakura did as he was asked as he smiled at Kisara whom was also readying herself. Kaiba turned to her. "What are you doing?!" Kisara turned to him. "I'm helping you what does it look like?!" Kaiba shook his head in disbelief. "I don't want your help!" Kisara pointed ahead. "Well too bad because now there's two of him!" Kaiba's eyes shot to Bakura as he realized what she said was very true, he'd somehow doubled himself. The two smirked as their life point counter's hit 4000. "It's time to duel!" They declared. Kisara and Kaiba responded accordingly. "Let's go!" They shouted.
Kaiba & Kisara: 4000
Bakura's 1 & 2: 4000
"Duel!" They all shouted. Kisara drew her card. "Ladies first boys!" Kaiba and the Bakura's shrugged. Kisara drew her card. "Hm…not really a decent hand, but it'll get me through a couple turns…" She put on a confident smile. "I play White Dragon Ritual to send my Silent Swordsman LV 5 to the graveyard to summon Paladin of White Dragon!" She declared as the white dragon and its knight appeared from the shining white vortex. "Next, I play Pot of Greed! Now, I can draw two cards." Kisara drew her cards; she was very pleased with the results. "I play Double Summon so I may normal summon White Stone of Legend and Masked Dragon in Attack Mode!"
Paladin of White Dragon: 1900 ATK
Whtie Stone of Legend: 300 ATK
Masked Dragon: 1300 ATK
"Now, I sacrifice all three of my monsters!" She declared as the three monsters burst into shining stars of light. Kaiba gasped. "What the?! What kind of summoning is this? Didn't you use up your normal summons?" She grinned. "My normal summons but this is a SYNCHRO summon and I'm gonna call it to the field right now!" The Bakura's growled angrily.
Kisara took a calming breath. "Clustering bonds become power! Come forth and show us your might force! Synchro Summon! Red Dragon Archfiend!" She cried as the mighty dragon roared into existence, its mighty form appearing within the column of fire that now burned into the sky.
Red Dragon Archfiend: 3000 ATK
Kisara smiled. "And that's not all, I set one card face down and end my turn." Bakura drew his card. "I play Ancient Rules to summon Gemini Monster Diabound Colonel in attack mode!" Diabound rose from its shadowy card as it took the field.
Diabound Colonel: 1900 ATK
Kisara and Kaiba's blood ran cold. "Wh-what is that?!" Bakura chuckled. "You like it? It's my Diabound Colonel and now by normal summoning it, it's been successfully Gemini summoned! Now its power kicks in. Diabound Colonel cannot be destroyed by battle! I set three cards face down and end my turn!" Bakura grinned with horrific intent. "If only you knew you're pasts. Then maybe, you could save yourselves from your horrible fate." Kisara eyed him confusedly. "What's he talking about?" Kaiba shrugged angrily. "More of that Egyptian bull don't you ever get tired of that crap?!" Bakura shrugged. "Don't you realize it? This is all ABOUT your pasts. Don't you see? You both play instrumental roles in the Pharaoh's memories! This duel was fate to bring you two together once more!" Kisara sighed and shook her head. "You know...you're story COULD be true…but it doesn't have meaning to us! So why don't you two just leave! I can't forgive you for dragging my friend's brother and sister into your madness." Kaiba stared in awe before drawing his card. "If I recall, White Stone of Legend let's you get a Blue-Eyes to your hand right?" Kisara smirked. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Kaiba nodded. "All right, go Polymerization! I will sacrifice my two Blue-Eyes White Dragons, and Kisara's one to bring forth, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" The dragon's blood curling cry echoed through the skies. The second Bakura shrugged. "Ultimate Dragon and a 3000 attack point monster in just two turns! These two are unstoppable together!"
The dragons roared but stopped at their master's command. "Sadly, It's still the first turn, so I can't wipe you out. You're move Bakura!" Bakura gladly took his card. "I play Spirit shield and Hand Destruction!" Kaiba gasped. "Oh no!" Bakura smirked. "Oh yes Kaiba! And now any remaining cards we have all go to the graveyard!" Kaiba angrily discarded his cards. He had his De-Fusion still in his hand along with Lord of Dragons and the Flute. Each player but Kisara drew being that she was the only player with no cards in her hand to begin with. Kaiba grinned at his new hand. "Hm….a blessing in disguise." Kisara grinned evilly at the sound of that. He had drawn monster reborn, soul release, and Vorse Raider. "I set a card face down and summon Diabound Colonel as well and I end my turn!" Bakura declared as Diabound doubled in image. Kisara sighed. "What weirdos using the same cards and everything!" Kaiba nodded in agreement. "For once we agree." The Bakuras took that offensively. "Hey! We are not weirdos! In any case you two are; you with your white hair and you with your lone wolf attitude!" It was Kaiba and Kisara's turn to growl in anger.
Kisara drew her card. "My turn!" She declared. "She eye'd her card. "Seto! Mind if I borrow that dragon?" Kaiba caught on and smiled. "Go for it!" She nodded. "I summon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon-" Kisara and Seto felt a shocking pain strike their hearts. They both fell to their knees. They felt as if their souls were being pulled from their bodies. They both saw the same image. A man in blue, his clothing giving away his status, and a woman who looked like she could pass as Kisara's twin dead in his arms, they both gasped in complete shock and incredible confusion. Kisara gasped again. "Wha-What the?!" Kaiba shook his head. "I…I don't know." Bakura grinned, "It appears our work is almost done, now we just need him to call forth Blue-Eyes." Bakura pointed at Kisara. "I don't think so! I play De-Fusion thus stopping your monster from being summoned and calling forth all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!" Kisara cursed as the dragon split on to Seto's side of the field. Kisara was readying to respond when Bakura pointed to another card he had set earlier. "I'm not done! I chain copy tablet to halve your dragon's attack and give it to Diabound!" Kaiba gasped as one of his dragons lost its power.
Bakura chuckled. "It's over for you two!" He laughed but soon scowled as he saw the light spread across Domino from the horizon. "Grr…I'll be back for you two, but settle for this!" Bakura said tossing to Kaiba a familiar golden eye. "The millennium eye!" Kisara eyed it then gagged. "Gross!" Bakura chuckled. "I'm surprised you of all people don't remember that millennium item Kisara!" Kisara whirled on her heel to face them. "What do you know?!" The two Bakuras sighed. "Sorry we don't have time to play. Ta ta. But if you want the answers they lie in the sands of Egypt, where the Ultimate Shadow Game is about to begin! HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA!" Bakura screeched psychotically as Diabound covered their escape. "Wait!" Kaiba called but it was too late, they were long gone. Kisara looked around. "Did they jump?" Kaiba shook his head. "I really don't know…but first…let's get those two back inside." Kaiba stated gesturing to Mokuba and Rika. Kisara nodded. "Okay that first." The two pulled the siblings into their arms and made their way down the stairs not knowing in the slightest what fate had in store for them next.
Author's Notes:
Bakura's duel was cut a bit short but there was four people so in the anime it probably woulda been about that long. I wonder what will happen next cuz I don't know yet myself! ^_^ Review Please!
Next Time: We want answers!
