A/N: Since I'm still waiting on reviews for Chapter 5, I figured I'd get Chapter 6 started. In the last chapter, Stacey and the gang had encountered Mokuba Kaiba, who was coincidentally the mysterious boy under the mask. and he challenged Stacey to a duel, which unfortunately for him, lead to her victory and Mokuba finally coming to his senses for using another duelist's deck. Now that Mokuba and her are friends along with the gang, she will have to face another duelist, who looks quite familiar. Read on and enjoy!

Chapter 6: Stacey vs Ghost Kaiba

The boat was gone and they had a goon to deal with. Mokuba held out the star chips from the other kid and explained, but he hit Mokuba's hand and sent them down in the ocean. Stacey gasped, some of those were hers, now she was down to one.

"What gives? some of those belonged to Stacey, you big jerk!" Joey yelled out in anger. "I'm so sorry, Stacey." Mokuba said softly.

She walked closer to him and hugged him, letting him know it wasn't his fault. the goon behind them just laughed.

"You punks should keep a tighter grip on your valuables, then accidents like this won't happen. now..."

He grabbed Mokuba out of her hands and held him tight.

"Let's get you back. this little ingrate is a special guest of Mr. Pegasus. and he's been invited to spend a special dinner back at the castle.
right, Mokuba?" Mokuba was held by the neck, so he couldn't talk that much, but he muttered out one word.

"Stacey." She got angry, a big guy like that hurting someone as small and innocent as Mokuba? What a big bully.

"Hold it there, Muscles, I still have one chip left. I'll duel you and if I win, you let poor Mokuba go."

"WHAT?!" Everybody yelled out. He laughed at her, thinking she couldn't do anything, but hey, she's still here, right?

"Why waste your star chips? He's not worth it. but by that look on your face, I can't talk you out of it. Meet me back at the dueling arena in four hours. and one more thing, if you lose, not only will you be disqualified, but you will join Mokuba."

Everybody gasped and so did she, she thought she'd just be sent home, but they would actually keep her prisoner? He left with Mokuba,
leaving her with some time to think. "Stacey, be reasonable about this." Yugi said in worry.

"Why should I? Didn't you hear what that antennae doofus just said to me? If I lose, I'll be kept prisoner here. Sorry cuz, but I have to do this!" Stacey yelled, now more determined than ever.

4 hours later

"Alright, we're here. But where's antennae head?" Joey said, making her laugh a little.

"Yugi, Stacey!" She heard Mokuba's voice. While they made their way around the arena. They came to the goon with Mokuba in his arms,
still squeezing him tight around his neck. "Let him go, dude!" she yelled. "I will, if you win the duel."

"Oh don't worry, I'll beat you."

"Oh I would never duel, I'm having someone else do it for me. He's just dying to see you."

He pointed to the other platform in the arena, having her see a sinister looking man, but he looked familiar. She moved closer to see him and her heart dropped, it was Seto. But he was different, a cold evil grin on his face, his eyes filled with dark power and hate and he had a dark glow around him. "Seto! what did you do to him you little shit?!"

"He met with an unfortunate end today." Then came pain, like her heart was breaking, Seto was really... no, it can't be! Then she felt tears stream from her eyes, Pegasus had gone too far! Then she realized something, why would she feel like this? Could she really care about Seto? No. Because her heart still longed for Joey and Seto was rude to her anyway and he harmed her uncle in the process.

"Nice to see you again Stacey, too bad this time, it'll be in spirit."

"No! I won't believe it, you're not Seto!" You're right, he isn't, that's just a trick from Pegasus. She heard the voice of the Millennium Anklet speak to her. "This is Kaiba's ghost, Muto."

"Stop it Kemo!" Mokuba yelled. "It's true, two witnesses say they saw him fall to his doom earlier today."

"Well, I don't believe it. But I'll duel him anyway." Climbing to the platform, the fake Kaiba kept taunting her.

"Wow, Stacey, you look like you've seen a ghost."

"Shut up, fakie, and let's duel."

"Anything for you, beautiful. I put 4 chips down."

"Hey! You better watch ya self, rich boy!" Joey yelled from the sidelines. "Yeah, quit flirting with her, dude!" Tristan added.

"Great, after I beat you, I'll have 5!" Then she turned to Joey, smiled and blew him a kiss which he happily caught and put in his pocket.

They shuffled and drew their cards. While glaring daggers at Joey, it was the fake's turn first. Then came something unexpected, a card that she saw from his duel with Yugi. That kiss should've been mine! Wheeler doesn't deserve that! Ghost Kaiba thought in anger, while Joey had a manly evil grin on his face, which meant that he won that blown kiss fair and square.

"Let's start with the Hitazumi Giant in attack mode." She smiled, he's trying to confuse her, but she knew one thing: There were multiple monster cards, so that didn't make him Kaiba. She knew she was going to be fighting herself also in this duel.

"Dark Magician Girl in Attack Mode." She appeared on the field, waiting for her to give the order. "Dark Magic Attack!"

His giant was destroyed, leaving his life points at 700. Kind of a stupid move actually. But instead of being surprised or somber,
he was laughing. "You're strong, Stacey, but not strong enough. I knew you were going to pull out that card. and I know I'll win, Yugi barely beat me, but he had Exodia, whereas you didn't." Stacey growled in anger. "LEAVE MY COUSIN OUT OF THIS, DUDE!" She yelled.

After making it off the island he was on, he made his way home. Nice to think those idiots think he's dead by now.
Security was tight, so he climbed the fence and went in. He found the door that he kept, in case there'd be times like this and headed for the basement of the mansion. Retina scanner and hand print scanner had worked nicely, letting him in.
Turning on the lights and the computers, he put on his head set and waited for the annoying voice of his computer to come up.

"Identity Security Protocol, please state your name."

"Seto Kaiba." It took a couple of seconds before the computer let him in and then came the voice again.

"I thought I had seen it all, but breaking into your own house?"

"It's a long story for right now."

"A long story? Well, maybe I'm not in such a talkative mood myself right now."

"I find that hard to believe."

"Well Mr. Smart Guy, while you were off doing God-knows-what, a hostile takeover of Kaiba Corp. has just begun."

"Computer, tell me something I don't know." It stood quiet for a minute, guess it didn't like him smarting off. Then pictures of Duelist Kingdom popped up and a picture of Yugi. and then a picture of Stacey popped up, making him smile a little. at least he knew that she was okay. Even though she still longed for Joey.

"Pegasus has kicked off his Duelist Kingdom Tournament, and if Yugi Muto or Stacey Muto lose to him, Kaiba Corp. will belong to him."

"That won't happen, her cousin Yugi has Exodia."

"No he doesn't, he lost it. Someone threw the cards overboard."

"No way!" Great, no stopping him now. From trying to take his company, from taking Mokuba or from taking... no, he can't think like that. If he does hurt Mokuba or Stacey, he swore he'd kill him himself. Speaking of which, where was Mokuba?

"Pegasus knows about the law, stating that only someone of Kaiba family relation can be in charge of Kaiba Corp., so he has Mokuba too."

His eyes widened in shock, now he's gone too far. He needed to help somehow.

"Yugi, Stacey and my brother before the takeover is complete. I just have to make sure neither of those two lose in a duel against him. No matter what,
I'm not giving up Kaiba Corp. without a fight. time to hack into Pegasus's computer mainframe. next stop, Duelist Kingdom."

Getting into his main frame was easy, but getting to anything with Yugi or Stacey was blocked off. He laughed, there wasn't a computer system in the world that can keep him out. now, he had to look for Pegasus's back door and make his system crash. Finding his satellite was too easy. Now to make it crash, literally. After that, he looked on every single field for a dark magician, but no finding anything. "Let's keep looking."

"We've looked on every field, Seto. We'll never find Yugi or Stacey." Coming on the last field he hadn't looked, but the computer kept crashing on him.
A virus, typical Pegasus. but the Dark Magician wasn't in play, it was the Dark Magician Girl. that meant... Stacey was dueling.

"Come on dude, do you plan on playing a card anytime soon?" Stacey yelled at him, since he was ranting a lot and wasting her time.

"I wouldn't be so eager, Muto, because the next card is gonna blow you away." he said with an evil smirk across his face.

He set down a card and out came something that scared her. How could he have that card if he's a fake? "Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Everybody gasped and murmured, could this really be Seto? She shook her head, trying to get that thought out of her mind, this wasn't Kaiba!
why is her head hurting from thinking that? She couldn't be falling in love with that jerk, was she?

Don't deny your feelings, they may help you win this duel, even though you have feelings for Joey, and you duel for the ones you hold dear.
The Millennium Band spirit said. she was right, she was here for her friends and her uncle and Yugi's grandfather, so that little bastard won't get her so easily.

"You think you're so tough, Ghost Kaiba? Well, I know one thing, I have a dragon too." She placed the card that Yugi gave her on the field, her Gold Eyes Silver Dragon, but it was 100 attack points short of the Blue Eyes.
"Cute, but it won't help you. I doubt that you can even dent my life points with that little dragon of yours. and another thing, if I'm a fake,
how could I have this dragon?"

"You stole it somehow. I know for a fact that you're not really Seto. You're just a cheap copy made by Pegasus."

By the look on his face, he really didn't like that. the smirk fell from his face, and he looked so mad. He glared at her, so she glared right back.
He thinks he's got her beat, think again. "I won't attack just yet, I should after that last insult. But since I like you, I'll go easy and just pan it out instead."

"KAIBA!" Joey growled, causing a red anime thing to appear on his head. "Joey, chill out dude! You should know that Stacey wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for his stupid tricks. Remember, she's still in love with you and would choose you over him any day!" Tristan reminded him while keeping Joey's arms locked to prevent him from launching himself at Ghost Kaiba and punching his lights out for trying to take Stacey away from him.

He put one card face down and just ended his turn. She switched both of her monsters to defense mode, but he laughed.

"So gullible, you played right into my hand. Defense Paralysis!" She groaned, now she couldn't stop him from attacking her life points. He attacked her dragon,
sending her life points down to 1000. "You're in over your head, Stacey, admit defeat."

"Like that will ever happen."

A/N: Whoa! Sounds like Joey's a little jealous here. But don't worry. He and Stacey will finally end up together.
Six chapters down, seventeen left to go. I'm almost at the halfway mark, since I'm determined to get these chapters finished.

I finally got Chapter 6 finished. Chapter 7 will be up soon, after I take a little break. Reviews are welcome as always. Thanks for reading!

Who do you think Stacey will end up with? Joey Wheeler or Seto Kaiba? Comment your thoughts.
