Disclaimer: I don't own anything here. Well, I guess I own Stacy, but she's for sale! Any Yami/Seto fics or fanart is good as money.
A/N: More Yami/Seto. Actually, everytime I see a *gag* Seto/Serenity story, I get sick. The same for *choke* Seto/Tea, I get the urge to write yaoi. Good ol' fashioned yaoi; with a plot and everything! So that's where this came from. If you get the urge to draw, go for it.
" I summon my Dark Magician Girl! Destroy the face-down card!!"
" That's a mighty impetuous move Pharaoh."
" You have no monsters that can beat my Dark Magician Girl on a flip summons. Or have you forgotten the Dark Magician you sent to the graveyard?"
" I'm well aware of the effects of your card. And you're going to become well aware of mine! You just attacked my Dimensional Warrior!"
" What?!!"
" When this card attacks or is attacked, both this card and the opposing monster are removed from play and cannot return during the current duel. You just fell for the same trick you pulled two turns ago Pharaoh!"
" You sneaky son of a-"
" Ah ah ah. We're on school property Pharaoh. Young impressionable minds are nearby. You wouldn't want to traumatize any of them now would you?"
Yes, they were at it again. Seto Kaiba and Yami Mouto were dueling each other. This time they didn't even use the dueling systems; they were just using the battle mats that normal people used. Yami had taken it from Jounouchi on his way out of class. They both had a free period so they had all the time they needed.
The duel had been incited when Kaiba corrected Yami on something about Egypt. It was bad enough he had the gall to correct him about HIS country; he had to be right too! (Well, he didn't pay much attention to the slaves and the building of the pyramids until they were actually built. How was he supposed to know the name of the system they use to build them?!) He was so mad at the CEO he could have hit him. But Yugi said he couldn't hit him for knowing the answer when the teacher called on him; so dueling was what he settled for.
Now they were locked into another battle. Yami intended to make him pay for correcting him and embarrassing him in front of the class. He was known as the authority on Egypt, and to have been corrected by someone who barely paid attention to the class was just not acceptable.
But before Yami could make his counterattack and get back in the game, a shadow blocked out his light. Someone was standing over him and intentionally interrupting their duel.
Both duelists turned to see who was in the way. It was a girl. She looked about their age. She was wearing jeans and a big white T-shirt. Her hair was blue and her eyes were two different colors. One was brown and the other was green. She had a deck in her hand and was pointing at Kaiba with the other.
" Are you Seto Kaiba?"
Kaiba narrowed his eyes at her; not at all happy about his duel being interrupted." Who wants to know?"
" I am Stacy Tripper. And I come from America to defeat you."
He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at her. Why did people find the middle of a duel the opportune time to challenge him? " I'm in the middle of a duel now. You'll have to go to KaibaLand like everyone else. I don't even know your name as a duelist, so you're not even in my league. I wouldn't want to embarrass a low-class duelist just when they're getting their balance, so you should try someone you stand a chance with," He uncrossed his arms and picked up his hand to resume the duel," Now if you don't mind, I've got a duel to finish."
Stacy didn't seem to like that response. She stepped around Yami and blatantly kicked the matt into the air; sending the cards flying.
" There; your duel's finished. Now, I demand a duel against you!!"
Now both duelists looked at her in shock. The girl was brave. She was very brave. Either that or she was stupid. Very stupid. But the shock did not last long. For it turned to anger, Stacy was just lucky that Kaiba spoke first.
" Fine. You will have your duel. But for what you just did, no mercy. I shall go out of my way to destroy you."
Stacy smirked." You can try. I have beaten everyone I have come across! And you will be no exception!! I will have your Blue Eyes-White Dragons!"
**********************
" White Lightning Attack!!"
" NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
" This duel is over. You never stood a chance against me American. You'd have a better prospect of winning against a boa constrictor."
Stacy was throwing a friggin' tantrum all over the ground a la Sailor Moon. Yami was trying not to laugh. Kaiba was waiting for her to finish so he could take her strongest card. She had been no challenge.
The whole duel was one-sided. Stacy remained cocky until her LPs went down to 0. She was terrible. She forgot to pull her monsters out of attack mode, she put the wrong ones in defense mode, she attacked the wrong cards and she didn't use Reborn the Monster correctly. He wasn't sure what made her think she could win, but she genuinely did.
" Nooo! I can't lose!!"
" Well, you did. Now hand over your Flame Cerberus."
Stacy pouted and threw the card at him; which he caught without much trouble.
" What were you thinking challenging me? Do you know anything about Duel Monsters besides slapping cards down and bragging?"
Stacy glared and pointed at him." You cheated! That has to be the only way I could lose! You cheated you…dirty cheater!!"
" Ouch. That hurt."
That only proved to piss her off even more. Yami thought this whole scene was hilarious. While he believed in young duelists having confidence, what Stacy did was just stupid. She was a terrible duelist and she wanted to challenge the ex-champion of the world? It was like Joey on Duelist Kingdom.
Now Stacy was standing upright still pointing at Kaiba." I'll make you pay for cheating to beat me! You have to be pretty afraid of me to do something like that! I was on the verge of winning! I had you!!"
Kaiba looked at her in shock. " What duel were you watching Stacy?! I didn't cheat, you were the one that didn't have the sense God gave a goose!!"
Yami couldn't take it anymore. He burst out laughing and fell off the bench he was sitting on. Stacy glared at Kaiba and put her hands up." By the powers of Darla, I evoke thee. Make vengeance mine and punish this dragon flea!!"
Red and orange light came up from the ground around Stacy. Her eyes turned black and she shot the strange light out at Kaiba while he was gathering his cards.
" That'll teach you, you cheater!!"
With that Stacy stalked off. Well, she tried but she fell down the stairs and onto the sidewalk. Yami had just recovered, but this started him all over again. Kaiba simply shook his head in distaste.
" Stupid girl."
*********************
Yami and Kaiba were walking back to the building after the whole incident with the awful duelist Stacy. They were still laughing about what she had done. Challenging him when she had the dueling ability that Tristan and Tea could beat. There was something to be said about self-confidence, but that was just stupidity!
" Maybe she'll try someone that's more her level next time."
" Like what? A trash compactor?"
" That's mean Kaiba. A trash compactor is much too difficult for her to face."
That started them laughing again. Their laughing bounced off the empty walls as they entered the building. But Kaiba's died down as soon as it started. His laughter turned to a choking sound.
Yami looked at him in shock. He was his rival, but he didn't want the guy dead. " Kaiba?"
He could speak. He fell to his knees and continued the choking sound. Yami started to call for help but something else started to happen that he really wasn't prepared for.
Kaiba started to…well…shrink.
Yami watched the CEO minimize as his skin started to turn blue. And his choking noise was turning into something else; something animalistic. But he disappeared into his uniform before he could tell what it was.
He wasn't sure what he should do. Should he call for help? He couldn't exactly say he watched Kaiba shrink.
" Oh my Ra. I've lost Kaiba! Mokuba is going to kill me! Yugi is going to kill me! Oh Ra! I'm in it deep this time!"
" Mmmphf!! Mmmphf mmphf!!" Unbeknownst to the panicking Pharaoh, Kaiba's clothes were moving. Something was alive in there.
Yami was pacing in the hallway; trying to get his story straight." See, what had happened was, Kaiba and I were coming back in from our duel and I turned my back and he was gone! It's not my fault Kaiba's lost."
" I'm not lost! I'm right here!"
" That voice." Yami turned to see where Kaiba was, but he was met with air." Kaiba? Where are you?"
" Right here."
" Where?"
" Here!!"
" Where's 'here'?!" Yami still didn't see him. He started to walk where he heard his voice coming from.
" STOP!!! Don't come any closer!!"
Yami heard that loud and clear. He looked straight down and nearly fell over. He didn't think his eyes could get as wide as they were. He also didn't think he'd see this in this century. " Kaiba?!! Is that you?"
" Yeah. I'm shrunk. But other than that, I think I'm fine."
" You mean, you can't tell?"
" Tell what?"
Yami knew he would have to deliver this new carefully. " Kaiba, don't take this the wrong way, but, you're a miniature Blue Eyes White Dragon."
" WHAT?!!"
