Time would always tell, it would tell many things from how long an empire would last or how far a man as gone in this world. Time would tell the success of those who have fought and done great things in their lives, time would see to how those who have sacrificed so much for their loved ones be rewarded. Time was indeed the ultimate and utmost final judge of any human's life. Such was the reason for the creation of time, and for time itself it holds no remorse to what it had seen or what had happened for what matters to time to some incident that happen a few years ago to an event that last for over ten years and killed nearly half the population of a nation. Such was how Kisara was trying to feel, she should not be feeling any regret or remorse but she was laid broken in her bed thinking of the time gone by. She could not think of her time, nor could she remember past a few months ago. It was a terrible feeling, she only had her future to look forward to but what future could she have if she could not see her past to help her?

She sulked until her thumb found her way to her mouth once more, a habit she had sworn she broke years ago but she could not remember how she broke the habit. It was a pathetic looking site in her mind, a young woman sucking her thumb because she couldn't stand up and face herself in the mirror. The more she tried the more she forced the thoughts of Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba from her mind. They were boiling symbols of anger and anguish in her mind but she could not remember why nor come up with any reasons for their effect on her. She could possibly blame the nauseated feeling she would have when she would think about Seto Kaiba due to their interaction the other day but she knew that was not it and Yugi Muto simply had this underlying thought that she was more than a simple duelist girl of this era but she was something much more grandeur that she was something else. Kisara slowly moved her back to the wall and wrapped her arms around her knees as she held her pillow close to her and prayed that she could get another hour of sleep before starting this new day. Just one more hour of sleep.

"I wonder if we'll run out of food soon," Duke said as he glanced toward's Joey's spot at the table. Joey's plate had about four times the size of food on it than Duke's and he even wondered if the plate could hold that much food, let alone where all that stuff goes after being consumed by Joey.

"With Joey's and Tristan's appetite I think Kaiba would have to start rationing out the food supply," Tea muttered as she poked at her own breakfast. The powdered eggs weren't eye catching as last night's dinner but Tea slowly began to eat her food.

"Probably sooner rather than later," Mokuba agreed, his presence was hardly noticed by either Joey or Tristan as each were too busy with the large amount of food in front of their faces but the rest of the gang acknowledged the younger Kaiba's presence.

"Hey Mokuba, good morning," Yugi greeted him. Mokuba smiled and sat down at their table.

"Good morning Mokuba," Tea greeted as well as she shot glares towards Joey for not using his fork or spoon.

"Hey Mokuba," Duke chimed in as he attacked his plate with gusto.

"Hey guys, you checked out the new leader board? Also Duke you certainly wanted to advance through the tiers huh? You're already making a good stride to Tier Two," Mokuba said, trying to start up a conversation.

Duke gave Mokuba a winning smile as he continued to munch down his breakfast, "Really? Already there had been enough duels for a complete revamp of the leader board?" Yugi asked, Tea also looked interested that this World Grand Tourney was moving really fast.

"Yup, Pegasus so far has the number one lead, Joey dropped down to fifth while Leon moved up to second and Gaberial and some guy named Drake moved up to third and fourth respectively," Mokuba answered, "As well as the lower tier boards keep changing by the hour so those are hard press to tell and even some of the lower Tier One duelist are having difficulties staying up there, Weavile and Rex strangely hadn't moved up nor down while Mai and Maku are having some issues staying in the Tier One," Mokuba added.

"Huh, well I guess once we get the rest of the duelist and more we continue dueling things will soon even out I guess and perhaps Joey will be able to get out of the rut he is in," Tea said in her hopeful voice.

Joey spared her a menacing glance and mumbled something through his heavily stuffed mouth about, "I'm not in a rut!" or rather something along those lines. Tea glared back for Joey's lack of table manners while Tristan and Duke shared a few muffled smirks and laughs in between bites. Even Mokuba and Yugi seemed slightly amused at the trade of blows between Tea and Joey.

"Shouldn't you have learned to respect a lady you dweeb?" A female voice piped in as the whole gang turned to face Mai Valentine. Her outfit was a tad skimpy, if nowhere near modest at best but she held herself up regal as always and she radiated authority unlike any duelist anybody had seen.

"Hey! Well ain't it Mai in the flesh," Joey said, after gulping down perhaps his biggest bite of food, "Hear ya got into a rut of some sort," Joey added before stuffing his face into his plate, which to everyone's amazement had slowly began to diminish.

Mai huffed, "Well unlike you Wheeler I am trying to pace myself. Going off to face the Zigfried brothers and Pegasus himself is pure stupidity, at least watch a duel of each and study before charging in like the young buck you are," Mai suggested to Joey.

"I ain't needed to plan or strategy to beat'em, just some good ole'Wheeler thinking and muscle and I got every duel in the bag!" Joey boasted, flexing both his arms.

"You know Joey, Mai is right, it isn't such a bad idea to pick up some information on your opponent s before facing them. You might have won the few that you have lost if you studied a bit before your rush in," Yugi said, agreeing with Mai.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Joey finally admitted as he searched his plate for some more bacon and eggs. The rest of the gang laughed as they too finished off their plates.

"You what!"

Cam turned her head to face the wall, she certainly was in no position to say anything but she did possess the right to defend herself after her loss to Drake. She still fumed at the memory, and yet the hot headed duelist Zack Adams was actually acting smarter than her currently. He was searching about to see how strong Joey was as a duelist before dueling him and Cam blindly rushed in expecting what she had no right to expect. She failed to plan and she untimely planned to fail as shown by her defeat at the hands of Drake.

"I always thought you were one to take it slow and slither your way in," Zack said, his momentary outburst gone as he moved towards the door, "You said that it is the slow knife that find its way to your targets heart?" Zack added, he gave her a smirk before leaving her room. Cam sighed and fell on top of her bed in utter frustration. She knew she had that name of being snake or an assassin, but in the end she couldn't even make a dent in his life points. She ram her head into her pillow, she looked back up and grabbed her still full glass and slowly drained the liquid that was inside the glass before laying back in her bed. She needed to think before dueling again once more today.

A knock woke her up and she turned her head to see Zack at the door again, "Oh, I'm going to tackle Joey Wheeler and your Dragon Lord today so keep your eyes peeled short stuff," Zack said before quickly leaving Cam alone. She glared at the spot where he stood and silently prayed that Drake destroyed him in a duel as well. I will beat Drake alone Cam thought, but perhaps watching Joey Wheeler she could get a feel for the other duelist that she may have to face during the Tourney.

"Something isn't right here," Seto muttered as he browsed through some information on his computer in the bridge of the blimp.

"What was that sir?" Roland asked.

"I want you to do a search on these two duelist Roland, have the report sent to my private room's computer," Seto ordered as he moved away from his computer and walked over the bridge's central hub computer were it displayed each and every duel happening in the blimp.

Seto glanced at the screen and rolled down through the list of duelist in each Tier, stopping from time to time as he remembered a few names. He sighed as he regretted not joining, possibly he would have already made it clear he was the only one that would get the chance to duel Yugi, but now he was simply monitoring the event. His fingers stopped as he recalled familiar face with long white hair, the rude girl that he confronted outside the practice arena. He still had no clue of how she was to get into an Employee Only section but what mattered more was how she did not even flinch at the mention of his name. He was used to having people back away, or show signs of visible worry for they just realized how much trouble they just brought themselves. "Kisara Aobd," Seto said softly, he now had a name for the girl as prayed to whoever was listening up there that he would not meet with his girl again. He was not sure if he could restrain himself if she went off again. At least he hoped that she wouldn't meet him after he met up with the geek squad, rather he would face her with his patience fresh and without any dents. Wait, I want to see a girl? Seto thought as he realized how heavily invested his mind was into this Kisara girl. He growled as he left the computer and bridge, leaving a trail of pale employees in his wake. Seto Kaiba was not a happy man currently, and the others wondered how long he would stay in such a condition, hopefully they wished before he felt like firing people.

Seto knew himself better than anybody, he knew he was a loner but he was a rich longer with a younger brother that adores him. He was the CEO of the largest Gaming Corporation, if not the best as well, and he was a respected duelist among everyone in the dueling world. He possessed strength, intelligence as well as three Blue Eyes White Dragons, and then an image of Kisara flashed as he thought about his Blue Eyes and this only made his growl as he continued to stalk down the hallway. Kaiba was a man with few wants and even fewer needs, he already built what he needed to build and he was running his company in the way necessary so that Mokuba would not struggle as much as Seto himself struggled. But Seto asked himself then why than was he so confounded with this girl that he never even met for more than a five minutes? In fact never even having a lengthy conversation as well and she already filled his mind. He shook his head and continued walking down the hall, he was mad certainly and he needed a duel to vent his frustration. He already began to feel sorry for the computer that was about to duel him.
