Chapter 6: IMPRESSIONS IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

"Well, I am Seto."

A flash of recognition crashed through the mind of 'The Elegant Vixen.' *One male wears the Pharaoh's hokzori around his neck, and the other bears the same name and features as the High Priest...what madness is this?* she wondered. Chaotic impressions of that last duel--that agonizing defeat--and the bitter aftermath blazed in her eyes. *Now that I have been summoned from the Shadow Realm, will I be able to take my revenge at long last?*

"...after all, I AM a Vixen."

Ever since Vicki had examined the Millennium puzzle last night, Yami had been sifting through the veiled places in his mind, seeking something to explain why Vicky seemed so familiar to him. So far, he had uncovered nothing. Vicki's attack on Kaiba, her demeanor, and her words left Yami with the oddest impression that this had happened before. *I must remember. I sense it's very important that I do!*

"Will you have dinner with me?"

Vicki withdrew from her memories and focused her attention on Kaiba's question. Vicki turned to her 'keeper.' "Is this permitted, Joey?" Her need for Joey's approval surprised the whole group, and raked Kaiba's pride.

*The mutt's gonna pay heavily if he screws this up for me!!* Kaiba vowed to himself.

Joey shoved his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "You're a big girl, Vicky, so that's up to you. But I wish you'd stop being so reckless and really think this through...."

Vicki placed her arms around Joey and kissed him on the cheek. "You are a keeper, are you not?" Then Vicki turned back to Kaiba. Her eyes slowly traveled down the entire length of his body, then retraced their path. Her eyebrows quirked at his bulge. *Impressive? Hmmm...maybe!* Green eyes locked with intense blue eyes that were now issuing a dare of their own. "You boast that your deck has strength, but what do YOU have? Impress me with YOUR techniques, Seto--then I'll feast with you."

Kaiba's wicked laugh rang out again. "I wouldn't have it any other way! I accept your proposal, Vicki the vixen!"

"No way!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Outrageous!" Mokuba choked out.

"Boy has she got some nerve!" Tea barked.

"You weren't kidding about her, were you Joey? She really CAN bust your chops!" Mai grinned, elated that Kaiba's interest in Vicki might be mutual.

"Ohhhhh, boy...she tells Kaiba to flex his dueling muscles, and offers him a FEAST? Duke's toast." Tristan turned and placed a consoling hand on Duke's shoulder. "It's been nice knowing you, buddy."

"Watch it Tristan! Don't count me out just yet! If Kaiba would stop doing his 'Funny Bunny' impression and glue his eyes and his tongue back in his head, maybe we can get on with our duel!" Duke retorted. "Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba! Hey, Kaiba--you ready yet?"

[End Chapter 6

Author's note: I know Angel-Belle doesn't want Vicki to go out with Kaiba-- to take his pride down a notch or two--but I say there's more than one way to skin a cat. Ever heard someone say, "and it came back to bite me in the a@@?" Well, that's kinda how I want Kaiba to feel about his date. I enjoy bustin' Kaiba's chops, and Vicki's the best one to do it! [*^-^*] Make sense?

Mwaaaaahaaaaaa! I AM so bad! But this is still so much FUN!]
