You are sitting on the edge of the bed, deep in thought. You sigh, looking a the deck you are holding in your hands...
"Nyhhhhh... Should have just tried messin' with th' silver wire..." At that thought you turn to the desk at the side where the silver wire in question sat, half bent into a series of shapes and occasionally dotted a rusty red.
"Hey, Katsuya-nii..!" A call comes.
You shake your head, grab your duel disk and head to the door. "Yeah, I'm comin'..! Where's Seto-chan?"
Mokuba holds his hands behind his head, jerking it slightly to the side. "She's in her study already..." he grumbled, huffing. "I'll make sure she gets out though, don't worry! You just get to the yard okay?"
You nod "Righ'. She's got 'er duel disk..?"
The boy snorts. "What made you think she goes anywhere without it..?"
"Point," You laugh. "Alrigh' then! Don' make me wait long!"
"I could say the same to you Katsuya-nii!"
"EH?" What did that mean? Why had he called you that? But there is no time to check and definitely no time to fret and so instead you stand around with your hands in your pockets to wait. Duel disk on, deck in place... A breeze of wind blows towards your back as you stand, and with it a few fallen leaves catch your eye.
...Shit. You knew it was Seto's birthday but... Was it really the middle of fall already? It was just one of those things that hadn't occurred; something you hadn't bothered paying attention to between screwing around with the others and sitting around for your job.
...Also dreams, you suppose, but ehhhhhhhhhhh-
"Are you serious."
You jump, turning at the sound of Seto's unimpressed voice. True to Mokuba's word, she was there with her duel disk. Didn't look happy about it of course, but she was there.
You grin "Hehe... What! Y' said you'd duel me sometime, didn't yah?"
The woman merely stars, light glare unchanging. "I hardly expected you to take advantage of that moment today," she growls, crossing her arms. "Particularly out here."
You shrug. "Whaaat, y' have a better idea f'r a location?"
"Inside the ball room, one of the basement rooms... To list a very small few of many options," Seto answers dryly.
"Eh." Another shrug. "Here works jus' as well righ'? B'sides, th' leaves look great righ'? Lot more colourful than a plain green!"
The frown persisted, but in the end she snorts. "Tch. You're lucky I have nothing better to do then, 'Mutt'... I think I might just humor your challenge. Perhaps knock you down a rung or too after the ego boost you received from the tournament."
"Yeah yeah... It ain't a challenge, jus' a duel you know!"
"Hn. Lets just get this over with then," she decids holding out her duel disk. "You want a duel? Then you'll have one! I'm not about to turn this down..." she leers, eyes sparking with an almost threatening gleam. You just about shudder at that. C-Casual though, it was just casual..!
You nod and grin as your own disk clicks on. "Yeah!" Decks shuffled, and cards were drawn-
Of course, since Seto had long since activated her disk she went first. And you figure that was only fair, with her birthday and all. You’ll... Probably not win in the end. Just a gut feeling really. "Well- yer move, birthday girl!"
Immediately Seto stiffens, a light frown becoming a thick scowl. "Oh just wait," she snarls. "You're about to learn exactly what a real duel is! I summon Ryu-Kishin Powered!" she announces, slapping the card to the disk as a tablet of stone arose from the ground; crafted almost from the ground that was truly there it seemed, the stone that appeared was coated with a layer of moss and grass along the top. The monster that thundered through however did not appear to pay it any mind, merely shaking his head with a roar as he prepared for battle.
"I then set two cards and end my turn!" The second set of tablets rose to a similar guise behind the Ryu-Kishin, and as you looked over the blank faces you smirk. This beat a table top match any day!
"Alrigh'... Y'r gonna have t' do better than tha' though!" you laugh, slipping his first card to the disk. "I summon Gearfried in attack mode!" As the tablet rises your grin grows, the iron knight cracking his knuckles in anticipation. "Too bad f'r you," you add with a laugh. "Those traps ain't gonna work on Gearfried!" Not if they were her usual at least..! So!
"Ready when you are…"
"Gearfried!" You announce- "Attack!"
The dual commences. For anyone perhaps used to dual monster fights this seems… too real. Pillers rise from moss, monsters arise and some even talk to you, tactics, panicked plans. Almost too real but also just a very intense dual.
At least until...
"And with that done, I only need one sacrifice for this! WATCH!" Seto cries, "This is a real monster! I summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
In an instant the Little Winguard she had sacrificed crumbles into the ground, vanishing into nothing but a rising flow of dust to form a new, larger tablet. Despite the darkened soil and moss however, the dragon which breaks through the stonework was as white as its name, and completely untarnished by the ground. She steps forth with a loud, song-like roar that has both you and Seto looking toward her magnificence, before the great white dragon takes her position at her master's side.
The look on Seto's face made it relatively obvious what she was about to do. "Hnhnhn... It seems our duel didn't last too long!" she laughs, pointing her dragon forward. "Exactly as I expected...! Now.. Blue Eyes!" she calls, the dragon taking a deep breath as she looks toward you. "BURST STREAM..!"
A resounding slap entered the air as you activatethe tablet at you side, palm stinging just slightly as a pair of small lambs tumbled out from the once blank stone. "Act'vate th' set spell... Scapegoat!" The first leaps directly before you, taking the hit directly and becoming naught but ashes in an instant. The second however, gives a loud bleat before curling up near your feet, you give it a brief look before turning back to your opponent.
"Hn! Of course you would have that," the woman sighs in response, as though this new development was only barely delaying some other plan. Fingering her one card for a mere moment she pointed her other monster forward, the scapegoat at your feet stand with a jolt. "Blade Knight gains 400 attack points due to his effect," she announces, the monster's blade seeming to glow with still more power from the barely existing hand of cards in Seto's grip. "NOW! ATTACK!"
"HnnnnHAH-!" As the monster charged the scapecoat leaps into his path, cleaved easily in two as another lamb came to take his place. Speaking not another word the knight moved to take his position again,
You swallow… This is bad. No monsters with more than 1500 attack points in your deck and Blue Eyes right across from you... Shit.
You draw the 'Battle Warrior' and prepare your next move with a sigh. "Hahhh... Set one card," he announce, a blank tablet coming to your side as another rises almost directly in front of you. "An' after tha', Battle Warrior in defense mode- End turn!"
The fight continues and it seems like Seto believes she has the upper hand...
"If you intend to prove me wrong Katsuya, you'd best do so quickly.vBecause it looks as though your next turn will be your last..! Unless of course," she adds almost idly, "You intend to give up…"
"Hehehehe... As if, Seto-chan!" You draw your next card and set it on the duel disk immediately, tablet rising from the ground only to buckle and spin as it formed an ever familiar grinning faced pot. "I play Pot of Greed!" you announce, drawing your next two cards as the pot in question crumbles into two more tablets. "An I've got jus' what I need... Firs' though, I'm activatin' my trap!" a hooded imp leaps from the tablet to begin digging at the ground in an instant. "Graverobber! I pay 1000 lifepoints t' activate th' effect of yer very own 'Enemy Controller," Seto goes white. "DESTROYIN' BLUE EYES!"
"WHAT..!" As the controller takes effect the dragon roars, clutching her head immediately- in but an instant however, there was no head to grab. Instead the dragon dissolves just as the Little Winguard before, vanishing into a wash of dust on the ground. "Blue Eyes... YOU…"
"I ain' finished yet," you continue, catching your breath as the lifepoint train took effect. "I play th' spell Monster Reborn..! Bringin' Blue Eyes White Dragon t' MY side of th' field!" The roar that meets your ears iss incredible, and for a brief moment it drowned out the snarl from your oponent. The tablet of the dragon rises behind you as the ankh of the spell appears, drowning the field in a brilliant teal light. With a singing roar the dragon launches forth from her tablet, soaring through the air before landing protectively at your side. Once more, the dragon roared... But it seems calming almost, and perhaps even reassuring.
As you stare the dragon briefly rubbed her head against yours, before batting your hand with it. "Ah- Alrigh, Alrigh'," you mutter giving the beast a slight pat on the head. "Er…"
"Get your hands of my DRAGON!" your opponent roars
"She ain't yours righ' now!" you counter, pointing the dragon forward. "An' b'sides tha', she doesn' seem t' have any problems with fair play!"
"YOU..."
"ATTACK TH' BLADE KNIGHT!" you call out, the dragon rearing as she prepared to send a blast of flame forward. "BURST STREAM!"
You aren’t finished yet "I summon th' Hayabusa Knight in d'fense mode. End turn! Maybe y' shouldn' assume th' end of a duel so quick!" You smirk again as Seto continues to glare
"You're right... 'Anything' can happen..." Why did that not sound like an agreement. "You made one very… Very... Big mistake though," she continues lowly. "You. DO NOT. TOUCH. BLUE EYES! I still have Kaiser Seahorse!" she roars, pulling it from the disk and sending it to the grave as she made her move.
"And he accounts for two sacrifices for any Light monster! SO WATCH," the woman snarls, another tablet rising in song as the Kaiser Seahorse crumbled. "I sacrifice the Kaiser Seahorse to summon my second Blue Eyes... AND NOW, MUTT," she continues in rage, "I'M SENDING YOU TO HELL!"
"S-Sheeesh..! C-Calm down," you laugh uneasily, the other dragon roaring just as threateningly. "'S not tha' big a deal!"
"Oh it is..! ATTACK!" she orders, the first of the dragons immediately charging a blast in retaliation as the second launched their flames. "BURST... STREAM!"
Ducking under your arms the white flames encompassed the entirety of the field, blinding you just long enough that by the time you up with spots in you eyes the field was cleared of both the dragons. "Holy shit," you groan, holding your head. "I get tha' they mean a lot t' yah but…"
"But nothing," she sets another card to the field. "I play the Monster Reborn, bringing Blue Eyes back to the field!" As the tablet that had been destroyed so often again returned Seto narrows her eyes, her dragon soon appearing to her side with an apparently similar outlook on the match. "There's only one place for Blue Eyes," she continues, almost spitting on the ground as she roared. "UNDERSTAND?"
"I GET IT..!"
"And the next time you even THINK of dueling-"
"We hav'n even finished this one yet..!"
"Blue Eyes should never even be anywhere NEAR your HAND-"
"AAAAAUGH-"
"Aouuuuuuuunnnnnn..." The pair jumped, turning as the white dragon on the side yawned.
"Eh... W's tha'…"
Seto says nothing, merely staring at her dragon with an expression that almost resembled embarrassment before turning back to the field with a stiff frown. "Tch. This duel is going to be over with in just one move more," she hisses, crossing her arms. "My turn is over! Lets see what 'defense' you come up with now…"
"Hahhhhh..." Saved. You were just saved by a yawning dragon, really...
"Baby Dragon in d'fense mode!" One more tablet rises in front of you for a shield. "End turn!"
Apparantly it wasn’t enough and the duel continues in earnest, back and forth, back and forth with more too real mosters. Until.
QUICK ATTACK! THIS IS THE END!" Seto roars, pointing the monsters forward. "TWIN-HEADED THUNDER DRAGON ATTACKS THOUSAND YEAR DRAGON... AND BLUE EYES ATTACKS DIRECTLY! GO!" she announces. "ATTACK! WITHBURST STREAM!"
The fires and sparks both blasted against the now thousand year old dragon and in seconds it was ash, most of the field leveling itself at the same moment. "HahaHAHAAA!" And as the flames of Blue Eyes' otherwise restrained attack slammed against you you feel your body launch backward in the force, laughter faltering only when you finally land. "HnhnHAHAHAHA-G-OH!" OW. That hurt... Still laughing you rub your head, standing with a grin. "Hahahah... AHAHAHAHA!" "What the hell are you laughing about!" Seto snarls, disk clacking back into its inactive mode as the last remaining portions on the field faded away. "...HEY! Katsuya!"
"Hahahah... AHHHHH…"
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" "Man," you laugh, replacing your deck and pocketing it. "You really got me there!"
"...What."
"I said y' got me!" You walk towards her with a grin. "It was a good match! Light'n up already! It's yer birthday! Th' duel was f'r fun, r'member!" You spin, stiring up fallen leaves as though to help the subject along. "Righ'? FUN!" Seto merely stares, as though unable to decide if she was disgusted or confused. Or perhaps both. The remaining anger from the whole 'got yer dragon' thing probably wasn't helping.
"...You're an IDIOT. I don't have-"
"Finish tha' sentence an' I'm tellin' yer brother."
"WHAT?"
"Tch... Duels are not about... Just take your loss like a normal human being..!"
"Already did! Nothin' wrong with enjoyin' a good match against a strong opponent!"
"That isn't normal in anyway..!"
"Hehehehehe..!" "Tch..." She apparently gives up, storming ahead to grab the door and go back instead. "Never mind... A mutt like you can't possibly understand..!"
"Hahhhhh... I think it's you not understandin'..." Oh maybe you shouldn't have said that, because now she was glaring at you and… "Uhhhhhh…"
"Go on," she growls. "What am I not 'understanding'..?"
"Erk- Well... 'S just fun, y' know."
"You said that already."
"I know, I know!" you protest and take your shoes off as you get inside inside. "Jus'... What other reason would there be t' duel?"
"To win!" she snaps back, as though the answer were obvious. "What kind of question is that!"
"Really?" Seto pauses at that- really pauses. But then she makes her way down the hall. You follow.
"The duel is over," she states flatly. "Just drop it." You sigh at that, but decided to humor her nonetheless. If that was how she was going to be…
"Aha! Not yet, not yet!"
"Eh?" As you turn the corner Mokuba seems to bolt out from nowhere, instantly doing his best to herd you both toward an opposite room. Given his size compared to you, it is actually a little amusing but…
"Wh- Mokuba! What are you doing?"
"The Tenma brothers are still on the phone! Don't give me a reason for me to hand you over!" "EHH? Why don' y' jus' say she's not here then?"
While Seto settled for a somewhat disbelieving glare, Mokuba snorts. "Yeah, because they'll believe THAT! It was hard enough giving them the excuse I just gave them now!"
"And that excuse is?" There is no answer, you are shoved into the room.
"Oi..! Mokuba!"
"Hey hey, Mokuba! Let 's out!"
"No way!" comes the muffled response from outside the door. "I gotta distract these guys. You two can watch a movie or something, there's popcorn waiting!"
Ah… So this was his plan. Seto snorts. "Aha... No."
"Whaaaaat." You smirk, resting an arm on the side of the couch. "Don' like movies?"
She merely fixes you with a glare, standing near the door a few more moments. "I have better things to do than sit in front of a tv screen for three hours."
Memory 2
You are sitting on the edge of the bed, deep in thought. You sigh, looking a the deck you are holding in your hands...
"Nyhhhhh... Should have just tried messin' with th' silver wire..." At that thought you turn to the desk at the side where the silver wire in question sat, half bent into a series of shapes and occasionally dotted a rusty red.
"Hey, Katsuya-nii..!" A call comes.
