Chapter 4

See you back at the Cabin! P

Thank you very much again to my beautiful reviewers. Glad u liked it. I will try to fix it up a bit more. I know that you might be a bit confused about Bandit Keith and stuff but you'll find out later.

Chapter Summary: The gang head of to the Safe House after the battle and freshen up. Something happens between K and M when they go to the Safe House and it gets them into a very awkward moment resulting in Mina deciding that she was going to make Kaiba feel even more awkward. But after she kills Joey and Tristan. .

Seto Kaiba's icy eyes looked back to see Minako's deep chocolate brown eyes boring into him. He stood up slowly, still not taking his eyes off her and hers off him. He stared at her and then changed his expression into a glare. 'I don't want her thinking I'm going soft. Next she'll be asking me for favours. I don't do favours.' Mina looked away and Kaiba smirked. He thanked Blue Eyes and sent him back into his card. He straightened his black trench coat which was almost exactly like the one he wore in Dualist Kingdom complete down to the leather straps around his muscular arms, the metal cuffs around his wrist and the metal studs in his high collar. His trench coat was black and underneath it he wore a white shirt with a black tie. The straps around his forearms were also white completing the formidable look which was Seto Kaiba. His brown hair was pushed back due to the sweat and dirt that was in it. 'I gotta straighten myself up. I look almost like Wheeler. Almost.'

Mina looked away from Kaiba's death glare and sighed. 'Hmm. I should have known. An ass hole is always and ass hole. Never gonna change. At least I know he has a heart. Here I am thinking that the only way I'm ever going to find out if there is something beating in that body of his is to tackle him to the ground and press my ear to where the heart is supposed to be. Or I could throw a knife into the spot and if he dies, then I would know he has a heart. But I prefer what he did much better than any of these options. I don't have to embarrass myself then.' She turned and looked at herself a metal framing that had fallen from somewhere on the ceiling when the Dark Tyranno crashed in. She was a mess. Her black hair was covered in dirt and blood from the monsters that Fallen Angel has killed. The red from the blood blended in with the red streaks in her hair. Her face was streaked with mud and grit and her cotton sweater that she wore was torn and ripped all down the middle exposing her pink tank-top underneath. That was also ripped but luckily not in very exposing places. Her black jeans had done her well in the fight and no damage was done to them other than the fact that they were the home to millions of micro-organisms that had hitchhiked on the Tyranno's back onto Mina. Mina looked down at her ruined black and white converse shoes. 'Note to self. Running up and down a ruined building being chased by a dinosaur will most probably destroy shoes.'

"Hey, come on. The car is outside waiting for us. It taking us to the safe house." Yugi tapped her on the shoulder.

"Wonder how safe it actually is." Joey muttered under his breath.

"Agreed to the full." Mina snarled. She ran over to a pile of rubble where their luggage was once under. She started digging through it until she found their stuff.

"Mai" She called out, tossing Mai's bag to her.

"Joey."

"Serenity."

"Tristan."

"Tea"

"Put Tea's bag next to ours. I'll carry 'em. She's hurt her foot and cant walk properly so I'm gonna carry her." Yugi called out.

"It's ok. I can manage all three bags. You just carry Tea." Mina replied back. "Hold up, there are more bags here."

She pulled out the last two bags and read the tags.

"Oi! Kaiba! Catch!" She yelled out tossing his bag as hard as she could at his head. Kaiba looked around in surprise and caught the flying bag neatly with two hands. Mina then walked over to them and handed his bag to him. She ruffled his hair and winked at him before hoisting the bags onto herself and walking out of the destroyed building.

"Whoa! No way!" Joey exclaimed craning his neck to the side trying to get all this in.

The cars had taken them into a remote, unrecognisable part of the jungle and there stood a sight that the gang had all longed for. About 20 log cabins were situated in a clear patch surrounded by trees. In the middle of all this was a pond and benches around it. The birds were singing and the low murmur of hundreds of voices broke the silent tranquillity of the safe house. The gang joined the hoards of people that were already there that had fled from the battle sight before and after the Tyranno charged in. The low murmur dulled down to a silent hiss as Credo's form stepped up onto the top step of one of the cabins.

"Welcome to the safe house. A safe haven for the tired dualist. But only until 9:23 am as you recall me saying. But until then, no monster will disturb your well-earned rest. At the front of the cabins, you will see a roster for where you will be sleeping. The shower blocks are over yonder. They are actually very well furbished and nothing like an ordinary camp's bathrooms. Well take care and enjoy. May the nest dualist prevail. Oh and by the way, tomorrow morning, a selection of weapons will be brought to each person. I advise you that you should have a weapon handy at all times, even if it is a simple knife. Just in case."

Credo stepped down from the cabin step, entered his car and drove away up the hill until they could no longer see the dusty form at the horizon. The gang walked up to the cabins and Tristan read out the roster.

"Yugi Moto, Minako Moto, Joey Wheeler, Serenity Wheeler, Tea Gardiner, Tristan Taylor and Mai Valentine in Cabin 8 along with Seto Kaiba and Mokuba Kaiba."

Joey groaned and trudged of to the cabin followed by a very disgruntled Mina talking to Mai, Tristan leading Serenity along and last Yugi carrying Tea. They stepped inside the cabin and immediately their moods brightened. The inside of the cabin was bright and well furnished. The large log cabin was only a one room house but it was so charming the gang didn't care. There were 9 beds spread out comfortably at different angles and a shelf and bedside table next to each one to keep their stuff in.

"My, my, my. Isn't this cosy." Kaiba sneered as he walked inside.

"I like it, big bro." Mokuba told him following his big brother inside.

"Yeah, your little brother likes it, why cant you like it too? Oh wait I forgot, you're a stuck up rich brat and you're brother isn't. That's why." Mina snapped at Kaiba.

"I bags this bed!" Mokuba called bounding away to one of the beds.

"I bags that one!" Mina squealed following in his lead. She dived on one of the beds near Mokuba and the rest followed suit calling their own beds and unpacking their stuff in it. All except for Kaiba. He was walking around slowly, examining different things around the place. He spotted a table by the side, covered by a white cloth and smelt something heavenly. He quickly walked over to the table and whipped of the cloth. Before him lay a sight to behold. Food. The smell of it wafted over to where the gang were sitting laughing. The laughter stopped and sniffs could be heard.

"Kaiba, you saved my life so now I'm going to save yours." Mina called out eyeing Joey and Tristan's faces.

"What the hell do you mean?" he called back.

"I would move out of the way if I were you. I wouldn't want to be in the way of food when Joe and Tristan are hungry.

A shout echoed around the room and Joey and Tristan dashed for the food table. Kaiba just got out of the way in time muttering something that sounded suspiciously like "."

The rest of the gang including Kaiba grabbed plates after the two boys and settled down in their beds where a conversation concerning what would happen the next day started up. Kaiba sat there listening and fiddling with his ankh until announced to Mokuba that he was going to go for a walk. Then the talk continued until Mina finally cracked.

"That's it. Can't take it any more. I have to have a shower and change! Now! I smell so bad I'm convulsing myself and it really uncomfortable sitting in ripped clothes." She announced.

Mina rummaged in her bag until she found her pyjamas. She then grabbed a towel that was stocked in her shelf. She jumped of her bed and headed of to the shower blocks.

"Mina's been in the shower for 10 mins. Maybe we should go pay her a visit." Joey whispered to Tristan. Tristan grinned evilly and both boys crept of to the shower blocks.

The shower block was actually very fancy for an outdoor house like this. When the boys entered, they were greeted with the sight of a luxurious bathroom filled with sinks and benches and shelves. They spotted Mina's clothes, dirty and clean, in on eof the shelves and the grinned. Tristan stuck his head round to the next room where the showers were to make sure that Mina was still in the shower. He turned round to Joey and nodded and both boys grabbed her clothes and ran back to the cabin.

Mina had washed her hair thoroughly thrice and so the gleam in her hair was back and the blood and dirt from her body and hair washed down the drain making a disgusting colour. She stepped out from the shower and grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body like a dress. It was long enough so that it covered her legs up to mid-thigh. She tucked the end of the towel into the fold so that her hands here entirely free to move with out the towel falling. She walked out to the changing room to grab her clothes and found that they were gone. In its place was a note.

See you back at the cabin! P

'Joey!' Mina growled to herself. 'Oh he is so dead. So, so dead! Even my slippers are gone! Arseholes!'

Mina stuck her head round the corner of the door and tried to calculate how many people would see her. Her cabin was round to the right and then there was another sharp turn to the left and then a long run to safety. No one was about so she was fairly confidant that no one would see her but she was taking no chances.

Seto Kaiba paced around the woods thinking. About nothing in particular. Just thinking. He did this a lot at home. He would sit on his balcony and star at the stars. Thinking. He pulled of his black trench coat and undid his leather straps on his arms and tucked it in the pocket of his trench coat. He walked to the front of the cabin and placed them there before heading of again in a completely random direction. 'Its getting kind of hot.' He swivelled his head to make sure no one was out before he undid his tie and let it hang on his over his neck. He undid his top 5 buttons exposing the top half of his body to the cool breeze that was coming in. Seto Kaiba liked his privacy.

He strolled slowly in a direction that he didn't know and drank in the feel of the wind against his chest and took in the smell of the forest. 'Wait, that smell doesn't belong here.' He lifted up his nose and sniffed again. A strong smell of artificial lavender wafted into his nose. He walked forward slowly and turned a corner. There, he saw something that he hadn't seen. Ever. The great Seto Kaiba was somewhat lost for words. He had just stumbled across Minako Moto creeping across the field towards him with nothing but a towel on. Her black and red hair glistened in the moonlight and the beige towel stood out against her tan skin. Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of darkness. Seto Kaiba stood there staring. 'Why the hell is she just wearing a towel? And why is she creeping like that? , she's coming towards me.'

Mina crept quickly towards the corner where she would be able to hide behind a cabin for a while before making the mad dash towards the cabin and killing Joey. She turned the corner and leant back on the cabin, breathing in a deep breath. Suddenly, she heard something moving to her right, quite close. She turned to see Seto Kaiba staring at her in a very odd way. A face that sorta said 'are you crazy?' She turned to explain but the words got stuck in her throat. Seto Kaiba was standing in front of her with his top shirt buttons undone. It was wasn't fully undone but it was open enough to see his strong neck merging into a chiselled chest. His chest glittered with droplets of sweat in the moonlight. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and he was holding his shirt in an uncomfortable way at the collar, unknowingly opening up his shirt a bit more allowing Mina to see a bit more of his muscly chest. Mina went a bit weak at the knees and she mentally slapped herself. ' What the hell do you think you're doing. You can't feel that with Seto Kaiba. You can't! Although, my god he looks really good. Really really good. When does he have the time to work out? Wait stop.'

"It's not that hot Moto, or are you tired of what little attention you're getting with Wheeler and Shark-boy and have decided to go out naked for all of the dualists to see so they can stare?" Kaiba had obviously gotten over his shock.

'The ass hole! Wait I'll play his game then. Let the teasing begin.' Mina thought before batting her eyelids at Kaiba. "You were staring, so why would you care. I thought you were trying to burn a hole in the towel so you could have a better view." She giggled inwardly as she saw Kaiba fighting a blush that was creeping up on his face.

They stared at each other for a second before Mina brought her eyes down to her feet.

"Um… I just wanna say, while we're here alone. Um… Thanks for saving me back then. You saved my life and I guess. I guess, I'm really grateful to you for coming out of your thick shell of arrogance and helping me." Mina mumbled before her words got stronger.

"Can't you thank me without insulting me? What the hell goes on in that mind of yours?"

"What sort of answer are you expecting Kaiba. I was trying to say thanks and you go and yell at me again. Well, a lot more stuff goes around in my mind than in yours and the thought that was going round when I said sorry was 'maybe he saved me just to feel me up.'" Mina retorted before dashing off to the cabin.

Kaiba stood there for a few minutes more and then walked slowly towards the cabin.

Kaiba entered the cabin to a scene of turmoil. Mina was back in her pyjamas and was now proceeding to beat up Joey and Tristan for taking her clothes while Yugi was yelling at the three of them to stop while Mokuba and Mai were yelling at Mina to finish them of. Tea and Serenity laid in their beds shaking their heads.

"Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!" Joey screamed out.

"Ok, ok stop! We're sorry! Sorry!" Tristan yelled.

The three of them collapsed on the floor laughing and Kaiba glared at them before grabbing his clothes and going out again for a shower. He needed to clear his mind.

When Kaiba got back from his shower (undisturbed by the way) he found that the cabin was now in a peaceful mood, each one of the people in it doing something quietly. Yugi was reading a book while Serenity and Tea were gossiping about one thing or another. Joey and Tristan were figuring out their duelling strategies and Mina, Mai and Mokuba were sitting on Mokuba's bed playing with a set of cards that Mai had found in one of the drawers.

Kaiba lay back on his bed, his t-shirt and loose pants serving him well as temporary pyjamas. He listened into the card game which was only a bed away from him. They were teaching Mokuba how to play poker. Kaiba frowned.

"I do not want you to be teaching my brother methods of gambling let alone teaching him at all." He growled.

"Calm down Kaiba. Geez let the kid have a little fun." Mina retorted and Kaiba growled and leant back on his pillow.

Mina grinned and winked at Mai. Mai giggled.

Mina started singing a well known song while dealing out the cards to Mokuba and Mai.

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

They're like 'its better than yours.'

Damn right, its better than yours,

I could teach you but I have to charge."

Mai started in as well and Joey and Tristan cracked up. Mina turned her head to see if Kaiba's reaction was what she wanted it to be and it was. Oh it was. His face had gone to a deep shade of pink as he remembered what he saw just this evening.

The two girls sang the song all the way through the last game and finally when they had finished Mai slipped of Mokuba's bed and into her own. Mina leant forward and said goodnight to Mokuba before heading of to her bed, her red pyjamas brushing the floor as she went past. She slipped under her covers and closed her eyes. Yugi switched of the lights eventually when he had finished reading and by that time almost everybody was asleep. Kaiba lay in his bed and turned his head in the direction Mina's bed was.

'I really hate that girl. I really really do.' And he fell asleep wondering if he really meant it.
