Here's the next chapter my fellow readers, thank you for the reviews they are very much appreciated. Though once again, it's not very long, I apologize if anyone was wanting a chapter between 5000-8000 words.

Chapter 3

Filth

11:15AM

Kaiba walked out of Kayama's room and went back to his room. There were a few things that he had to pick up if he was to be dancing anything. He did not want to dance one little bit, but if it was to finally a step to beat Yugi then so be it. He entered his room and the room was completely empty. He sighed for the wonderful moment of peace. He looked at his workout clothes and the bag that he had grabbed as he walked in. He tossed the bag down. "Fuck it. I'm not a dancer so I'm not dressing like those geeks had."

He went into the drawer and grabbed a black t-shirt and then walked out. He managed to get to the challengers room without seeing a single person and changed into his shirt, which was a tight shirt when he meant to grab a loose one, leaving his trench coat and long sleeve shirt behind. He walked out and noticed that they had just called his name. He looked around and saw Regan, Yugi, Mokuba, and Kayama standing in their balcony, but didn't acknowledge them. He turned to the crowd as they cheered from their seats on the floor and he heard a few whistles from girls as they noticed his tight shirt. Why was he here again? Right, not only was he here to get to the top and beat Yugi, but to completely destroy the dragon slayer, if it was him for kidnapping his sister on his vacation.

The MC called his opponent's name and sure enough it was the same guy. Kaiba grinned sinisterly to get this game over with so he can show the bastard why he shouldn't do bad things.

"Hello Seto Kaiba, I don't believe we met before now." The detail reader said as he held out his hand.

Kaiba slapped it away. "Yes we have you snake, you were just too dumb to notice it was me standing right in front of you when you and the rest of your Dragon Slayers kidnaped Regan in Vancouver."

The man glared as the crowd was muttering about and turned to the MC. "What are you waiting for? Get the song started!"

"Ah s-sure." The MC muttered. "The song you will be dancing to is Drop the Bomb by Scotty D. begin."

The MC rushed off stage and two hologram screens appeared in between them and the audience.

Sorry but could I have the music louder?
Kaiba hit the few steps that were required and rolled his eyes at the simplicity. He took a quick glance at Detail Reader's score and realized it may not have been so easy with the first twenty steps and remembered how close together they were and just before an opposite double note. He grinned at the thought of Death-T.

Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb!
The steps were to the music as the emphasized steps where triples. He quickly moved his legs so he wouldn't have to touch the floor and he caught them perfectly.

Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system,
now or never it's the time to resist 'em,
it's easy to blast them all away,
pull a trigger push a button say ADIOS today,
don't get me wrong I'm a pacifist,
the mind can do more than the fist.

The steps were mostly the same except on the elongated words that four or five steps were added to complicate the dance.

Explosives are not what it takes
(you know, terrorists always make these mistakes,)
what we gotta do is build momentum,
if you need the right tools invent 'em,
ride the wave of time come feel the rhythm,
the march to the future has begun get with'em,
the brain is the generator of almighty power
either do it now or your master plan goes sour.

Yeah! Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb!

It repeated over and over again and it Kaiba just fell into the pattern.
Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb! Let me see that bomb!

The rhythm changed into the one found in the intro like it wasn't repeating itself before, and then it repeated from the top. Kaiba sighed inwardly as he caught the steps without much feeling towards it.

Just...

There was a short pause and then it started back up again.

Learn from the sunken mu Atlantis

Kaiba glared slightly at the memories that the Orichalcos had formed from that old, destructive, wrecked city.
and from the head of the beheaded male-praying mantis,
we've all gotta make room for what's to come,

The song did a quick back up to the top. As the line "Drop the bomb" was said over and over again.
what we gotta do is build momentum,

The beat returned and he was ready for the quadruple beat he saw a mile away.
if you need the right tool invent' em,
ride the wave of time come feel the rhythm,
the march to the future has begun get with'em,
the brain is the generator of almighty power
either do it now or your master plan goes sour.

Yeah! Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call...

There was a pause for a breather.
(And if it don't work then make the real thing wipe it out)
Then the music and steps returned.

So drop the bomb!
Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb! Let me see that bomb!
That bomb!
That bomb!
That bomb!

The song repeated the same note positions and he answered their call to be stepped on. And then it finished.

Kaiba barely broke a sweat as the music stopped and was overly happy to see that his opponent was not in the perfection that he was in. He grinned as the Dragon Slayer panted like a dog and looked completely defeat. Obviously, he didn't understand the game and tried way too hard. Kaiba looked forward at watching the video of it later after he gave his message, now that the Dragon Slayer was out of the tournament.

Yugi was standing along with Regan, Mokuba and his father watching for anyone that was out of place. There was no one in the audience that he noticed to be siding with the Dragon Slayer who was dancing terribly. Many could tell Kaiba wasn't putting much effort into his game, but as his points rocketed without missing a move; he didn't need to. All he was doing was crushing his opponent ruthlessly.

"Seto seemed to be happy." Dad stated in amusement.

"Oh just filled with joy. He probably wants to use Detail's brain so he can find the main building of the Dragon Slayers." Regan replied in such an unemotional voice Yugi thought she was replaced by a robot until he looked over and saw a small grin on her face that matched the one on Kaiba's. "Too bad that technology and the fact that that guy would actually know are against that theory. I guess since he doesn't have it, he's going to have to invent it."

"You just repeated one of lines in the song."

"What can I say; I have a talent for music." Regan shrugged.

"Well I wish I could help with the Dragon Slayers headquarters, but I don't know where they are either." Dad sighed.

Yugi turned away from them and saw the MC come on stage.

"And with an easy display of who won, Seto Kaiba will be going to the next round!" The MC shouted over the microphone.

The audience cheered. And Yugi was glad that nothing had happened during the game. Then he felt Regan stiffen next to him. He concentrated and saw the Detail Reader starting to pull something out. "Kaiba, behind you!"

Kaiba turned around before Regan could jump off the balcony and stop the Dragon Slayer. He grabbed his arm and disarmed him by kneeing him in the stomach. Yugi flinched as a gun flew from his hands and to the center of the stage. "Got anymore tricks before we take this back stage for a fair fight?" Kaiba sneered.

"Seto doesn't put up with much does he?" Dad asked.

"No he doesn't put up with anything." Yugi and Regan answered him at the same time as Regan took her hands away from her swords.

"That's not true." Mokuba said as the Dragon Slayer was being dealt with by Devin's security. "He puts up with us; maybe not so much Joey, but everyone else in general."

Yugi was about to say something when he noticed someone was coming up onto the balcony. He would have disregarded the latex dressed woman with blue hair, if it wasn't for the fact that when one of Kaiba's guards went up for a list check, she flung him off the balcony and across the room with only one arm. Yugi turned to the floor to see Kaiba turning his trademark grin to a scowl of disapproval. He turned to the balcony and made eye contact with Yugi briefly as Yugi turned back to the woman. The crowd below was hushed at the fact the guard was thrown against the wall. He wasn't sure if the guy was okay, but he had a feeling he was at least alive, Kaiba's guards were trained for that kind of thing. He hoped. He muttered to his small group as the people on the balcony where in shock as the rest of Kaiba's men were assessing the situation. "There are a lot better ways to handle a situation other than throwing them across the room and a three story fall."

"Yugi Muto, I've come looking for you." The woman sang out in such a smooth voice, he thought she was a succubus. "Someone want's your head mounted to their wall, I was told to bring it."

Yugi sighed. "What else is new?"

'Yugi, I'm going to take of this before anyone else gets hurt.' Regan said in his mind and he noticed she was reaching for her swords.

"Wait, let me, I doubt she knows you're up here." Yugi whispered in her ear. "Back me up just in case and protect them."

She nodded as she stepped in front of his father and Mokuba.

"Wait," Dad started as he started to reach for him.

Yugi turned to him, "It is fine, when this sort of thing doesn't happen; that's when I worry."

Yugi started to walk towards the woman when suddenly she took a glimpse of him and smiled. "There you are; I hope you weren't trying to talk your way out of death."

"Actually I wasn't, there is no reason to be hurting other people if you are just after me."

"Aw such a noble man, too bad I don't care." The woman grinned and an orange balled popped into her hand.

She threw it at him just as Regan appeared deflecting the attack with her swords into the far wall where there were only a few people. The audience started to scream and run around like it was the end of the world. The people that were on the balcony were running around and trying to get off without wanting to get near the woman. Yugi tried to ignore the chaos as someone fell off the balcony. The woman seemed glad at the chaos on the balcony as well as the floor below.

"What are you smiling at?" Regan asked.

"At the death I will cause." She responded and twenty orange balls of light appeared around her and the balcony people started to move to the back where his father and Mokuba were. The woman released them and they flew all over the room. Regan tried to stop two balls that were headed into their direction but one went past and flew into the middle of the crowd that was now behind them sending people off the balcony or into the wall. Yugi dared to look at the floor below and people were running around and then the doors were blasted by an energy ball and flew off the hinges. The room started to filled with dust and smoke.

'We have to stop her.' Yugi said to Regan.

'I'll try.'

He started to gather some of the Shadows like he had done in the superstore and he felt his puzzle warm. Regan ran towards the woman, but then she was thrown back. Yugi caught her and they were knocked back to where they had been originally. He put her on her feet and shouted. "Enough!"

The woman laughed and then another round of balls appeared and left exploding the floor behind her at the stair case and Yugi could see the floor below and then he noticed that there were four of them coming towards him and Regan. He pushed her out of the way and released the energy that he had just as the balls hit his attack. He felt pain run through him as he went through the balcony wall and then he blacked out.

Kaiba saw Yugi fly through the balcony from his position on the ground. 'Dammit Yugi!' Kaiba cursed as he caught the smaller figure. Kayama and Mokuba appeared from another stair case that some other people were escaping the insanity above. "Get Mokuba out of here!" Kaiba ordered Kayama who moved without question and they left though the backstage exit. Suddenly, an explosion was heard from the stairwell and dust exited from it.

"Seto duck!" Regan called out from the blackened area and Kaiba went down just as a ball of energy came out of the darkness and towards him.

As he ducked he set Yugi on the floor and checked his pulse. As much as he disliked Yugi at times, he did respect him and knew how much a lot of other people cared for him, mostly Atem, Kayama and especially Regan. He sighed inwardly as his pulse was strong and the kid was more than likely to get up within the next few minutes to the next couple of hours.

"YUGI!" Atem's voice rang throughout the complex.

Kaiba turned to it and saw Atem and Téa on the broken balcony. "He's fine."

"Fine?! How can he be fine if he's down there when he was up here?!" Atem shouted angrily.

Kaiba was about to argue back when Regan came out of the stairwell sending an aura stream into it.

"What is going on?" Téa called down to them.

"Some chick is trying to kill my son." Kayama answered in anger as he appeared from the blasted door way as the rest of the people that were left standing ran out.

"Where's my brother?" Kaiba asked darkly.

"He's fine, he's with Roland."

"How do you Roland?"

"He happens to be your right hand man and always appears on TV with you." Kayama stated and then looked up to the balcony. "And who are you two?"

"Gah, what the hell happened?" A pain written voice asked in front of Kaiba.

Kaiba was about to place a sarcastic remark, but suddenly an explosion came from the stairway and caught the edge of the balcony breaking it away from the wall.

"Téa, Atem!" Yugi shouted hurting Kaiba's ears a bit as the side where the two were started to head for the ground creating a slope. The balcony end fell with a loud bang and Téa and Atem slid down the wreck to the bottom floor. Kaiba help Yugi to his feet as everyone that was there regrouped. "Are you guys okay?"

"Yugi, who is this, why does he look like…?" Kayama stopped as he tried to figure out what words to use. Kaiba suddenly became amused on how Yugi was going to explain.

An explosion ball broke the conversation as it flew for Yugi. Regan deflected it back into the hole it came from and Kaiba suddenly felt really angry, but he had a feeling it was coming from Regan.

"Stop it!" She screamed. "You aren't going to kill any more people than what you have and you're certainly not killing Yugi."

There was silence in the room.

"Did you blow your ear drums or are you ignoring me?"

"Neither, I was thinking of a way we can handle this female to female."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well when a girl is being threatened by another girl who is protecting something that she wants, they usually have a game."

Kaiba was confused at what they were talking about. "Regan what is she talking about?"

"Kaiba, this is a woman's subject, men don't have the tactics that women have." Téa told him and turned away back to the woman with blue hair. "Regan, you do realize what she is proposing don't you?"

"I do," Regan hissed as her blades seemed to darken in color. "I don't like placing a life on something like this, but you aren't giving me much of a choice are you?"

The woman grinned.

"Didn't think so."

"Wait, let me-" Yugi started but Regan turned to him with glaring blue eyes, even Kaiba was a bit surprised.

"You were just thrown off a balcony by a ball of energy, if Seto hadn't caught you; you would be like that guy." Kaiba looked over at where she was pointed and saw someone with a very obvious broken neck. "Because I couldn't protect you when I froze in fear."

"That happened because I was protecting you." Yugi insisted. "Let me, no need to throw your life away over me."

"I'll throw my life away to you for even the littlest of things. All for the same reasons as you would for me. Now please do me a favor, where ever we are having this game please sit down and shut up. Rant to me later."

"Looks like the challenge has been accepted, we'll play in the hidden room of the casino, there is a game already set up there."

Kaiba glared at the woman. 'Why was there a game already set up in a room that they hadn't found? Women, manipulative souls that always have more plans to their back up plans then necessary, fuck, and yet I still love their species.' "Regan, stay alert, there is more to this I think then just Yugi."

"I know," Regan said as she turned to the woman. "Let's get this over with, Hooded Vandal Three."

Let the games of life begin.
