Millennium Band Season One Duelists Kingdom

Chapter 9

Joey got up and still wanted to challenge him, i guess it's an ego thing.

"forget Pegasus, now you hav me to deal with. bust out your cards and lets get it on!!"

"Joey, . . . . are you sure. . . . "

"i'm sure Sel, he needs to learn some respect." 

"why don't you find an opponent for can really be, like an infant or a monkey?"

okay, now that just pissed Joey off more. Joey laid out some more insults about Yugi beating him. Seto finally agreed to duel Joey, on one condition. that they use this new thing that Kaiba invented while he was away. what was bad about it was that Seto won after about 3 minutes.  and in came gloating, man this guy can talk, and also taking out his anger on Joey, that was going too far. but at least he did something decent and wished us luck before heading off by himself. after everyone went back to there tents and laid down, i decided to follow Seto. he wasn't that far from us, so it was easy to find him. i was hiding behind a bush, waiting to talk to him as we walked some more. he stopped, but didn't even turn around, when he said," you shouldn't be out here, Selena. you need some sleep."

"oh, so Seto Kaiba does care. by the way you were trashing my friends i thought you hated me." 

he turned to face me, his look had changed from cold and cruel, to soft and caring.

"i could never hate you. i'm just angry about everything. Mokuba's the only family i have left."

i smiled, finally seeing the soft side of Kaiba, i really liked it. he set up camp for the night, and so i kept him company. i laid next to him looking up at the stars, he was quiet though. so i decided to ask him the question that was driving me insane.

"how did you manage to help me in the duel?"

his gaze never left the night sky, but he answered me.

"got back home and managed to hack into Pegasus's computer. not as hard as most people think. "

i turned my body to face his, although he just looked up at the sky. and i did something at shocked me even. . . . . . . . i kissed his cheek. he finally looked at me, his eyes just curiously searching mine.

"what was that for?"

"for helping me, it was really sweet of you."

his face was a little red and mine was too. i looked down on the ground, since i knew i made it a little more awkward already. but then a soft touch pulled my eyes up to meet his again. his hand gently touching my cheek, as i saw him lean in. our lips centimeters apart, when we heard some voices coming near us.

"aw, look, Kaiba finally has a girlfriend."

it was the goons for earlier, only there was about 6 of them. we both stood up to fight, ready for them.

"Miss Possible, master Pegasus would like to see you."

"i bet he would, but i'm not going with you."

"i'm afraid we have to insist."

Seto pulled me behind him, as he faced the big goons face to face. 

"if you want her, you'll have to get through me."

"suit yourself, Kaiba." 

one punch was thrown by Seto sending one to the ground, the others trying to stop him. he jabbed one in the chest with his elbow, while kicking one of them, making them both fall to the floor. i was about to run to his aide, when strong arms came around me, dragging me away. Seto turned to see me being taken away, leaving the other goons down and running after me. the one that had me was faster, Seto couldn't keep up, until something happened. Seto was knocked down, he laid on the floor unconscious not moving. the man that had me stopped when  he was hit, looking back at another one with big rocks in his hand. i softly called out for him, but he didn't wake up.

"Kaiba must really like this girl. Pegasus made the right choice about sending her to the dungeon."

what??! i'm a prisoner now?! they both laughed and slowly waked to the castle leaving Seto on the floor, and my heart aching. i just prayed he wasn't dead.

underneath duelist kingdom is a dungeon, and an old one. it smelled horrible and it was cold. they opened one cell and threw me in, but cuffed one arm to the wall. while he did that, i punched his eye in, making him glare at me. he cuffed my hand that had my duelist glove, which he took that had my start chips. i tried to hit him again, but he moved out of reach, the little bastard.

"just consider yourself lucky your not alone."

he pointed to another corner of the cell, which i couldn't see that well since it was night. but some light shown through, so i called out the only person i knew could be here with me.

"Mokuba?"

the figure moved his head a little and jumped up, it was him.

"how did you get him here, Selena?"

"long story, sweetie. but good news is i ran into Seto."

his face lit up with such happiness, as he clenched the chain around his neck.

"what's that?"

"oh, its a locket i keep with Seto's picture in it. he has one just like it with a picture of me."

since it was late, really late, Mokuba cuddled next to me and went to sleep, and i figured i might as well sleep. since he took my glove and chips, i can't duel in this contest anymore.
