Chapter 4 - A Serious Duelist

Kay walked to her apartment and quickly did her homework.

"Man, I hate this city." She sighed and changed out of her uniform into her usual black dress (That's her favorite thing to wear and she has more than one black dress) and some dark jeans and boots.

After flipping her hair up into a messy bun, she walked outside and around the city.

Nothing was very interesting to her.

She came to a darker area of the city.

"Hey babe, what are you doing out here all by yourself?" a gruff voice asked. Kay turned and looked at him.

He was a tall, buff guy with short blonde hair and wild eyes which were wandering over her like she was a nice steak.

"Back off, slick. I'm not interested."

"Well I am."

"What do you want? A Medal? Now leave me alone."

"Hey, I don't know who you think you are, but nobody talks to me like that. Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know or care."

"Hirutani. You should learn to respect that name. Wouldn't want a pretty little face like yours to get hurt."

"Look, Hiru-whatever, I'm not some whore you can pick up off the street. How about this, we duel."

"Duel?"

"Ever heard of the game called Duel Monsters?"

"Who hasn't?" he asked. Kay smirked.

"I propose you and I duel each other in one hour, so long as you know a good duel arena."

"Duh, Kaibaland has a million."

"Fine. Kaibaland it is. Meet me there in an hour. If I win, you leave me alone and never come near me again."

"And if I win?"

"I do whatever you want for a week."

"Whatever I want?" Hirutani asked, smirking evilly. Kay nodded. "Fine, you got yourself a duel, little lady. But just to be safe, you have to let one of my thugs follow you around until it's time for the duel, just to be sure you don't chicken out."

"Fine, but he can't come into my house."

"Deal."



An hour later, Kay stood outside of Kaibaland.

"What are YOU doing here?" a voice from behind her asked. She turned to see Seto, frowning at her.

"Well, not that it's any of YOUR buisness, but I have a duel."

"You? With who? A five-year-old?" Kay glared.

"No, with some thug."

"Some thug?"

"Yeah." She shrugged. "Doesn't matter, I'll win easy." At this moment, Hirutani walked up to them.

"Well, babe, ready to be my slave for an entire week?"

"Only in your dreams, hotshot."

"Hirutani?" Seto said. "You're dueling him?"

"Yeah? What of it?"

"He's the best duelist at Rintama high. Against a pro like me, it's nothing. But against you-"

"Hey Kaiba, why don't you keep your rich boy nose out of my buisness and let me take care of myself?" she snapped. Hirutani smirked.

"Listen to her, Kaiba. She's a big girl and doesn't need you to protect her. So she wants to play with the big boys, why do you care?" he asked. Seto frowned.

"I don't."

"Then get out of our way." Seto moved aside.

"Be my guest." She walked past him and Hirutani followed.

They entered the dueling arena.

"Prepare to lose!" Hirutani called as he placed his deck on the platform.

"That's my line."

"Duel!" 2000 life points appeared. They drew their hands.

"Ladies first!"

"So go already!" Kay yelled. Hirutani glared a drew a card.

"I play Claw Reacher in attack mode." Claw reacher appeared on the field with 1000 attack points. Kay rolled her eyes.

"Big whoop." She drew a card.

"I summon Koumori Dragon in attack mode." Koumouri Dragon appeared on the field with 1500 attack points. "Attack his Claw Reacher with Dark fireball." It attacked Claw Reacher and Hirutani lost 500 lifepoints. "I'll end my turn with two face downs. What's the matter? Did I hit you too hard?"

"Beginner's luck!" he snapped.

"Whatever. Just make your move." He drew a card.

"I play the all-powerful Ryu Kokki." The monster appeared with 2400 attack points.

"Now, Ryu Kokki, attack her Koumori Dragon with Skull Fist." It moved to attack.

"Hold it right there, reveal face down - Negate Attack. Now your monster's attack is over."

"I'll get you next turn."

"We'll see." She drew a card. "I switch Koumori dragon to defense mode." It switvhed to defense mode and had 1200 defense points. "Next I'll set this monster face down in defense mode. And that ends my turn." The face down card appears on the field.

"Pathetic." He drew a card. "Ryu Kokki, attack her dragon again!" Ryu Kokki punched Koumori Dragon and it shattered.

"That it?"

"Yes."

"Good." Kay drew a card. "I end my turn without making a move." Hirutani tsked and drew a card.

"I summon Goblin Attack Force." The goblins appeared with 2300 attack points. "Attack her face down monster." They did so and the card vanished, but then cyber jar reappeared on the field. "Hey, why isn't your monster gone?"

"Clearly you do not know the effects of my cyber jar. It's a nifty little monster to have. Effect one: it destroys all monsters on the field." Cyber jar self destructed and Hirutani's Ryu Kokki and Goblin Attack Force all disappeared. "Effect two: We each draw five card and can summon or set any level four or lower monsters that we pick up."

They each picked up five cards.

"I set two monsters face down." Kay placed the monsters on the field.

"I summon Baron of the Fiend Sword and Mystic Clown." The two monsters appeared, Baron had 1550 attack points, Mystic Clown had 1500. "And since it's still my attack phase, I attack both of your face downs."

Element Dragon and Blackland Fire Dragon doth disappeared. Kay shrugged and drew a card.

"I summon Curse of Dragon and attack your Mystic Clown." Curse of Dragon appeared with 2000 attack points and attacked Mystic Clown, causing Hirutani 500 points of damage. "And next I play one face down card. Give up yet?"

"Give up? I'm just getting started." He drew a card and smirked. "You're finished. I play Commencement Dance and sacrifice my Mystic Clown and my Jigen Bakudan to summon Performance of Sword." Mystic Clown disappeared and Performance of Sword appeared with 1950 attack points.

"Big deal. My dragon has 50 more attack points."

"Not for long. I equip Performance of Sword with Invigoration, which raises her attack points by 4000." She now had 2350 attack points. "Go, Performance of Sword, obliterate her Curse of Dragon." She went for Kay's dragon.

Kay smirked. "You are so predictable."

"What?!"

"Reveal face down, Reverse Trap. So instead of gaining attack points, your Performance of Sword loses attack points."

"What?!"

Performance of Sword's attack points flew down from 2350 to 1550.

"And I active my other face down, Reinforcements, which gives my Curse of Dragon 500 extra attack points." Curse of Dragon's attack went to 2500.

"NO!"

"Yes. Curse of Dragon, destroy his Performance of Sword." Curse of Dragon attacked Performance of Sword was destroyed. Hirutani lost 950 life points and was now only at 50. "Your turn is over." Kay drew a card and smirked.

"I play Ookazi. You lose 800 life points and this duel." Hirutani's lifepoints dropped to zero.

"I-I lost." Kay took her deck and walked off her platform.

"See you never, loser." She walked out of Kaibaland and yawned. "That killed fifteen minutes."

Little did she know, Kaiba had watched the whole duel.

"Hm...maybe she has more skill than I thought." He smirked evilly. "I should be able to crush her easily, though." He walked to his limo and was driven back to Kaiba Corp.
