*Note, all status points for monsters are given in (atk/def), regardless of the position they are in, its ALWAYS atk first, def second.

<Yugi> Wow Kaiba, this was a good idea to have an extra day for dueling!
<Seto> I figured everyone would want a second chance to win back the cards they lost… Though it seems that there isn't very much high stakes dueling going on…
<Jou> Mai's doing well… *has been watching Mai duel an amateur duelist*
<Mai> Heh, you're pretty good kid, but try not to challenge finalists until you've got some more skill. *walks away as the holograms disappear, her victory obvious*
<Bakura> Nice dueling Mai!
<Mai> Thanks, Bakura.
<Jou> You were amazing Mai!
<Mai> *sweatdrop* Right Jou…
<Seto> *is looking off at a duel that's going on* There's a big crowd over there… I wonder if some rare cards are being used…
<Yugi> Is that all you ever think about? Getting rare cards?
<Seto> Don't you want good cards too? I'm simply checking out the competition before I waste time on some amateur duelist with weak cards!
*over at the duel*
<Duelist> Ok, I'll go first little girl. Time for you to see a real duelist in action! I play one card in defense mode, and a card face down on the field! Your turn, my dear.
<Setsuna> First off, I'm not "your dear" and second off, I'm NOT a little girl. And thirdly, you're the one who's going to see a real duelist in action, amateur! First, I'll play one monster in defense mode, then two cards face down. You better prepare yourself, you're about to be crushed!
<Ari> *is watching from the sidelines* Heh… she's gonna wipe the floor with him… They always lower their guard when a girl's around, but Setsuna could probably beat Seto Kaiba himself!
<Seto> *walking up behind her and hearing her comment* Really? Who is this girl who's dueling, then?
<Ari> GAH! *turns around* *sweatdrop* Uhm… You're Seto Kaiba aren't you?
<Seto> *glare* Yes, you were saying someone could beat me. I highly doubt it.
<Ari> Yea? Well why not just watch my friend duel!
<Seto> Hmm… A girl… she's probably got a girl deck and a girl strategy… Does she have any rare cards?
<Ari> Why not just watch?
<Seto> What's her name, and yours.
<Ari> I'm Ari Yamaga, and she's Setsuna Himoko. We were both in your competition, but we dropped out when Setsuna injured her leg on her bike…
<Seto> Weaklings… You should've stayed in if you're such good duelists.
<Ari> *glare* You're not a very nice person you know.
<Jou> Hey Kaiber! Who's you're new friend?
<Ari> Friend nothing…
<Seto> What she said.
<Yugi> Who's dueling?
<Mai> Hmm… I think I've seen that girl duel before… She's pretty good…
<Bakura> Let's watch!
<Duelist> Alright then, miss, I'll sacrifice my defense monster for my Gadget Soldier, in attack mode! (1800/2000) Then I'll attack your defense monster!
<Setsuna> Not so fast big boy, You've attacked my Mystical Elf! (800/2000) And its defense is a little much for your machine to handle…
<Duelist> Gah! (LP 3800)
<Setsuna> Now its my turn! I'll start by using Dian Keto, the Cure Master to raise my LP by 1000! (LP 5000) then I'll use Soul Exchange! It allows me to use your monsters for my purpose! So I'll sacrifice both your monster, and my own, to summon Wingweaver in attack mode! (2750/2400) And now that you're defenseless, I'll attack you directly!
<Duelist> Pixies? You think a Pixie will defeat me? Ha! I activate Waboku!
<Seto> *sigh* so far this girl has nothing but a faerie deck…
<Ari> *grinning* Just you wait, the party's just getting started…
<Duelist> Ok, My turn. I'll place two cards face down and Then I'll play Inpachi, in attack mode! (1600/1900)
<Jou> He must not've been a math student… His monster is weaker then hers, why did he put it in attack mode?
<Yugi> He's got 2 cards on the field too Jou, maybe he's got a plan.
<Setsuna> A little weak for my Wingweaver, don't you think?
<Duelist> So you think… heh… I activate Limiter Removal! It doubles the attack power of all machine monsters on my side of the field, say hello to my new and improved Inpachi! (3200/1900) Now Inpachi, attack her Wingweaver!
<Setsuna> *yawn* Finished yet? (LP 4550)
<Seto> Well she's confident…
<Duelist> Limiter Removal destroys all my machines at the end of my turn, so my Inpachi goes to the graveyard, so now I'm done.
<Setsuna> Okay then, I'll set another monster on the field to end my turn.
<Duelist> I'll summon Uraby in attack mode! Uraby, attack the defense monster she just played!
<Setsuna> You've goofed again, Duelist! You've attacked my Forgiving Maiden! (850/2000)
<Duelist> Gah! Not another defense trap! (LP 3300)
<Seto> Hmph… I get your friends strategy already. She plays high-defense-point monsters and whittles down the enemy's LP until she can blast them away with a stronger sacrifice monster.
<Ari> Well… Looks like you've got her all figured out… heh… yea right, she's just getting warmed up. You should pay a bit closer attention.
<Seto> Yea right, I'm leaving *turns to walk away*
<Setsuna> And now that you've been so kind as to let me get 2 monsters on the field, I'll sacrifice them both, for a card you probably don't expect at all…
<Yugi> Huh? Hey, Ari, is Setsuna's deck all girls?
<Jou> It seems like it…
<Mai> No, look closer, one of the monsters she sacrificed was Giant Soldier of Stone…
<Bakura> But that could just be one she put in for defense, her whole deck could still be girls…
<Ari> *smirks* Just watch and learn simpletons: Just because a girl duels doesn't mean that her deck has to be all girls…
<Crowd> *gasps loudly*
<Duelist> NO! IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! ONLY SETO KAIBA HAS THAT CARD!
<Seto> *stops dead in his tracks* What?
<Setsuna> *laughs* You need to learn boy, The duel monster makers can create more cards if they really want to… Ha!!!
<Seto> *rushes back to the front of the crowd* *eyes widen* No way…
<Setsuna> Now, my BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON, Attack his life points directly!
<Duelist> No way! There are more then the 3 Blue Eyes that Seto Kaiba owns? (LP 300)
<Seto> It's a fake! It has to be a fake!
<Ari> Hardly! Setsuna found them in a booster pack she bought!
<Yugi> Them?
<Ari> Heh… yes, Them.
<Seto> *gaping* How many does she have??
<Ari> Three!
<Jou> No way! She found all three in one pack?
<Ari> Apparently Pegasus, the creator of duel monsters decided to make another 3 Blue Eyes and have a second Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon duelist floating around… She found a note in the same pack that was signed by him and it said that whoever got that pack was lucky, that "You've got the second and last Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon in the world."
<Seto> I can't believe it!
<Yugi> I guess Pegasus is still trying to defeat us… its kind of indirectly now though…
<Ari> She really could care less about the goofball's intentions, she just built a dragon deck around the Blue Eyes. *looks at Seto smugly* I told you she could beat you.
<Seto> BEU or not, she lacks the skills needed to handle a creature of such power.
<Setsuna> Your turn, dear.
<Duelist> I can't believe I'm being beaten by a girl! I never expected her to have a Dragon! Ng… I'm putting this monster in defense mode… that's about all I can do…
<Setsuna> Ha! Say goodbye to your Life Points!
<Seto> She may have a strong card, but has she ever even played before? You can't take Life Points when the monster is in defense mode…
<Ari> Oh really? Watch and learn Kaiba.
<Seto> *glare*
<Setsuna> I activate the trap card Dragon's Rage! This card allows for battle damage to be dealt, even if a monster is in defense mode, as long as the monster that I use is a Dragon! And guess what, my Blue Eyes is going to take out your monster, and the rest of your life points I'd wager…
<Duelist> No way! I- I lost! My monster was the Feral Imp… (1300/1400) (LP 0000)
<Setsuna> Yea! Now all you spectators can see, that girls CAN duel without puffy cards!
*as the crowd clears out, the group stands and discusses these two new girls as Ari rushes over to congratulate her friend*
<Ari> That was great, Setsuna!
<Setsuna> That guy was so overconfident… They always get like that when a girl is dueling… *smiles* Sure showed them didn't I?
<Ari> I think you may have influenced someone a bit more drastic than you thought though…
<Setsuna> What do you mean?
<Ari> Didn't you see who I was talking to the whole time you were dueling?
<Setsuna> *sweatdrop* I was kinda focusing on the game…
<Ari> Well, *turns her around and points to the group that's still standing over where Ari was* Take a wild guess as to who was very interested in your duel once your lovely dragon made its debut…
<Setsuna> *eyes widen* Oh my god… No way! *turns back around quickly, before they notice her looking* No way, no way! NO WAY!
<Ari> ^^ heh… Maybe you should challenge him to a duel… you could prove you're the best duelist around!
<Setsuna> *trying to keep her voice down* Are you nuts?! We're talking about Seto Kaiba here! I may have his monster, but I could never beat him!
<Ari> Setsuna, listen to yourself, you've got the best combo in duel monsters, you can womp him in a heartbeat.
<Setsuna> But… I didn't even think I could beat that guy before! It was so close…
<Ari> What are you talking about? You killed that guy! *puts a hand on her forehead* Are you feeling ok? You're talking crazy!
<Setsuna> *sweatdrop* Well… actually, I think this thing was messing with my mind again… *points to her arm, which has a golden arm-band on it, with the millennium symbol on it. Attached to the band is a long gold chain that criss-crosses down her arm until it reaches her wrist where it goes over the back over her hand and attaches to a gold ring around her middle finger. This is the Mill Chain!!!*
<Ari> Setsuna, you have to stop suppressing it, you know it's a part of you, so stop denying it!
<Setsuna> *folds her arms* I don't care what dreams it gives me… I'm going to make my own life my own, no silly little chain that glows is going to pave it out for me.
<Ari> *sigh* You're a stubborn mule, you know that?
<Setsuna> I don't care! I hate using it, and I'm not going to!
<Ari> Setsuna, I know you used it, I saw how confident you were that you would win… You read his mind didn't you?
<Setsuna> Well… I didn't mean to actually… I mean it… His thoughts just kinda… floated into my mind…
<Ari> If you would learn how to control it, it wouldn't keep doing that.
<Setsuna> Yea, yea, yea… EEEEP!!! *shrieks when she feels a hand on her shoulder from behind her*
<Seto> *jumps back* Woh! Calm down!
<Yugi> *sweatdrop* Kaiba, you need to learn how to say excuse me…
<Setsuna> *turns around slowly to see the group in front of her* Uhm… I guess you all saw me duel?
<Mai> You were great. Way to show 'em that girls can kick too!
<Jou> I'll have to duel ya sometime, I'd like to see if you can hold your own against one of the Finalists!
<Setsuna> *raises an eyebrow at him* I think I'd probably beat you in about 5 turns…
<Seto> *chuckles* She's right Wheeler…
<Jou> You stay out of it Kaiber!
<Yugi> Ari here told us about how you got your Blue Eyes. Its kinda interesting to us that Pegasus would do such a thing…
<Setsuna> I heard about some of the stuff you went through… You're Yugi Motoh, right?
<Yugi> *sweatdrop* Right…
<Setsuna> Well, in case you're wondering, I'm not working for that fruitcake, I just happened to be the one who got the lucky pack.
<Seto> It seems like you've got a lot to learn though, you've got good cards, but you need to learn how to use them.
<"Setsuna"> *glares* Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? *the eye on the arm band starts to glow dully, and unnoticeably*
<Seto> Heh, no thanks. You wouldn't last 2 minutes with me. The only person on this planet to ever beat me at ANY game is this shorty over here, and it was only because of Exodia that he did it.
<"Setsuna"> Is the great Seto Kaiba refusing a challenge? *nudges Ari* Look Ari, Seto Kaiba is afraid of dueling a girl… heh…
<Jou> *snorts* Well Kaiber, you gonna let her talk like that? *pouts* You never let me get away with it.
<Seto> *glares* Because you're not a girl, you idiot.
<"Setsuna"> *sigh* Because I'm a girl, because I'm a girl! That's the excuse for everything isn't it? Because I'm a girl? Well than, Seto, if you're so keen that you'd win, why not prove that I am just a silly little girl?
<Bakura> *is trying not to get in on the argument but is preoccupying himself by observing Ari, who has caught his eye* Hmm…
<Yugi> *laughing* Well Kaiba, it seems you've been challenged.
<Seto> *glares at them all* I'm quite aware of that!! Feh… FINE! I'll duel you, but on one condition: If I win, you forfeit your 3 Blue Eyes to me!
<"Setsuna"> *stares at him coolly* Fine.
<Ari> WHAT? Setsuna! You can't! What if you lose!
<"Setsuna"> *not taking her eyes off his* I won't lose… And Seto, if I win, you'll make a public announcement that you've been beaten by a second person: and it was a girl!
<Seto> Public humiliation… heh, it'll never happen, for I will be the one to win! Let's duel!
<"Setsuna"> I thought you'd never ask! *the Chain starts to glow a bit brighter, catching Yugi's attention*
<Yugi> *is talking to Yami in his mind* Yami… check out her arm-bracelet… it's got the Mill symbol on it!
<*Yami*> Yes… Could it be that there are more Millennium items that we do not yet know about?
<Yugi> How is that possible though? Shadi always said there was only seven.
<*Yami*> Perhaps there are mysteries that not even Shadi knows the answers to…
<Yugi> Hmm…
<Seto> Heh… Ladies first of course
<"Setsuna"> *rolls eyes* You're such a gentleman *draws to start the duel* I'll play one monster face down and two cards face down. You're turn Seto.
<Seto> I'll do exactly the same… *narrows his eyes* *thinks: What is she planning?*
<Ari> *looks on and notices Setsuna has changed* Oh no… Not again…
<Jou> Huh? Not what again?
<Ari> Huh? Oh, uhm… *sweatdrop* Nothing!
<Yugi> *looks on with increasing interest* Ari… Where did your friend get that arm-band?
<Ari> *finally notices the pyramid-shaped box secured to a chain around Yugi's neck* *thinks: No way! He's got a Mill Item too?* Uhm… I'm not sure really… I think she may have… made it herself ^^*
<Yugi> Made it? She must be very skilled…
<Ari> Yea…
<Jou> Hey Yug, did you notice the symbol on her - *Yugi clamps his hand over Jou's mouth*
<Yugi> *keeping his voice low* I don't know who these girls are, but something's fishy… Don't give anything away just yet, ok?
<Jou> Sure thing bud.
<Ryou> *has quietly taken over Bakura's body again* *is talking to himself* Hmm… That girl possesses a Millennium Item that I've never seen before… Can it be that there are more then just the seven? *takes out his ring and one of the spikes points directly at Setsuna* It's an Item all right… *suddenly one of the other spikes points at Ari* What? *looks at Ari curiously* Can it be that both of these girls have Items? *sneers* I must have them…
<"Setsuna"> I'll use Soul Exchange! And guess what Seto, Both our monsters are being sacrificed to bring out none other, then the Blue Eyes White Dragon!
<Seto> No way! How'd she get it so fast?!
<"Setsuna"> How does it feel to look your signature monster in the face Seto? Ironic, isn't it; to be defeated by the very monster you were master too in the ancient times?
<Seto> *eyes widen* *How did she know that??*
<"Setsuna"> Oh, I know a lot more then you think, Seto Kaiba… a lot more…
<Ari> Oh no…
<Yugi> Ari, what's going on? Who are you two?
<Ari> Uhm… eh-heh…
<Seto> What the? *notices her Chain for the first time* You've… you've got an Item? But… *looks at Yugi* There are only seven…
<"Setsuna"> Fools! Don't you think that some items would be kept hidden? Don't you think that some of them would be so secret that even the tomb keepers did not know of their existence? *looks at Yugi, her eyes glowing gold* Hello Pharaoh… Long time no see…
<Yugi> *eyes widen* *turns into Yami*
<Yami> Who are you?! *looks at Ari* Tell me, where did her item come from?
<"Setsuna"> Don't you mean Items Yami?
<Seto> Enough of this foolery! Continue the duel, Setsuna!
<"Setsuna"> *smirks* heh… Very well, if you're in such a hurry to lose… but get this straight… I'm no longer Setsuna…
<Seto> What do you mean?
<Liana> My name is Liana… I am the spirit of the Millennium Chain!
<Ryou> *starts, hearing her name, but still thinking inwardly* I know that name… I know it from… Egypt!
<Liana> *glares at Ryou, seemingly the only one who's noticed his change*
<Ryou> *looks back wonderingly* Who is that girl?
<Seto> Liana…? Why does that name sound so familiar? *thinks hard* I know that name…
<Liana> A-hem! Well Seto, you're totally defenseless but for your two cards, and call it a sixth sense, but I know they're not enough to stop a direct attack, so I'll do just that: Blue Eyes, attack his Life Points directly!
<Seto> No! (LP 1000)
<Jou> Woh! She took him down to 1000 Life Points in two turns!
<Mai> So this is the serious duelist… She was just toying with that guy from before…
<Yami> Why does she seem such a stranger… but so familiar?
<Ari> All the spirits come from the same time… they've all just lost their memories.
<Ryou> You know too much! Who are you?
<Yami> *finally noticing Bakura's change* What are you doing here?
<Ryou> I am a thief, Yami, I desire ALL the Items, and if there's more then seven, I think it would concern me!
<Ari> We're not here to become your enemies, *glares at Ryou* Nor to give up our Items. We've been looking for the holders of the other seven Items in order to discover the truth about the past… and what the future holds.
<Liana> Well Seto? Are you going to make a move, or stand there and stare at your Duel Disk all day?
<Seto> It seems your skill is greater then I had anticipated, but it is no matter. I have my own combinations to take you down! I play Lord of D. and I'll use my two Flute of Summoning Dragons! I can now take up to 4 dragons from my hand and Special Summon them to the field. But, I'll only need to summon the 3 monsters left in my hand… All 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons!
<Liana> It doesn't matter if you had 3 or 6, you still don't have what you need to take me out!
<Seto> Oh but I do! I can have one of my Dragons attack yours, and they'll both go out, leaving you wide open for an attack from the other two! Blue Eyes, attack!
<Liana> Not so fast! You've forgotten about my face down card! I activate the trap, Mirror force!
<Jou> Woh!
<Mai> No way! How could she have had that ready?
<Yami> It was obvious… She knew he would have to do such a thing in order to take out her Blue Eyes… so she played that Mirror Force right off the bat!
<Seto> It's not possible! How can I lose?!
<Liana> Oh, but it is Seto, and you are losing. But I think I'll have a little fun with you… Now I'll play MY Lord of D. and one Flute of Summoning Dragon! Taking out my OTHER TWO BLUE EYES!!
<Seto> *stares up in awe at the three monsters*
<Liana> But that's not all Seto, I'll use Polymerization! Fusing my three dragons into one, the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!
<Ari> Yea! Go Liana!
<Yami> I never thought I'd see the day… Seto actually looks scared… he knows he's going to lose… and to his own monster!
<Liana> *glares at Yami* It's not his own anymore! Watch out everyone, there's a new dragon duelist in town!
<Seto> *tries to still be cool and collected, but it's obvious he knows he's going down* Fusion monsters can't attack for one turn, so now its my turn to go… I'll set one monster in defense mode and that's all…
<Liana> Going down with a fight? Ha… you're going down, fight or not. I'll play Monster Reborn! And guess what happens now, Seto! I take one of your Blue Eyes!
<Mai> She's got four under her control!
<Jou> Wow… four Blue Eyes under one master… this battle's intense!!
<Yami> Seto's doomed…
<Liana> Now, Blue Eyes White Dragon, Attack his defense monster! *laughs as the card evaporates* Blue Eyes Ultimate! Wipe out his remaining Life Points!
<Seto> *smirks smugly and then walks off as the holograms disappear* (LP 0000)
<Ari> All right!
<Liana> *collapses to her knees as she turns back into Setsuna*
<Yami> Setsuna! *rushes over after Ari and the others*
<Ari> Setsuna, are you ok?
<Setsuna> *holding a hand to her head* What happened? I remember challenging Seto Kaiba… and then…
<Ryou> She doesn't remember anything… just like Bakura… *thinks: That means she doesn't support her spirit… hmm…*
<Ari> Come on Setsuna, we should get going.
<Setsuna> Yea… I'm ok now. *stands* Tell that smug jerk that I'll be happy to beat him in a duel monsters game any time he thinks he's invincible. *glares off in the distance at Seto, who hasn't completely disappeared from sight*
<Yami> Wait, I've got so many questions for you!
<Ryou> Yes… just how many Items do you have?
<Mai> *jabs him in the side* You can go away.
<Ryou> *doesn't flinch at all* Was that supposed to hurt?
<Ari> *raises an eyebrow* Questions can be answered some other time. Right now I just want to go home.
<Jou> Aw, come on! Why not come wit us to get a shake or something!?
<Setsuna> *finally looking away from Seto* You know Ari, it sounds like a good idea.
<Ari> *sigh* Fine…
*as they start walking, Ryou falls in step with Ari, and Yami with Setsuna*
<Ryou> So do you have an Item too, or is it just Setsuna?
<Ari> *not looking at him* She said Items didn't she? Yea I have an Item.
<Ryou> *getting annoyed at her coldness* What is yours like?
<Ari> *glares* You're not getting your paws on it, so stop asking.
<Ryou> *grits his teeth* You know too much to have just met us all today…
<Ari> You're smart, why not try to figure out why?
<Ryou> *grumbles*
<Yami> So where did you find your Chain?
<Setsuna> It was in a box in my attic… My… um, dad had found it on a trip to Egypt and thought it was cool, but he never wore it… I found it a few years ago and when I put it on… it just kinda felt right.
<Yami> But you don't like using it?
<Setsuna> At first I thought it'd be cool… but then Liana started to tell me about destiny and how I had to find the holder of the Millennium Rod… I don't want to not be in control of my own destiny. She doesn't even know why I have to find the Rod… The only thing she remembers is that the Rod was important to her for some reason…
<Yami> The Millennium Rod? Wow… Uhm… The thing is… the Rod has been through a lot…
<Setsuna> You know where it is?
<Yami> Yea… actually… *tells her about Marik and the ordeal they all just finished* But now… you're not going to believe this…
<Setsuna> Who has the Rod? Please, you must tell me! If I can get Liana's memory back, then maybe she'll leave me alone!
<Yami> *sweatdrop* Seto Kaiba is the owner of the Rod… and he feels quite similar about destiny as you…
<Setsuna> THAT JERK??? NO WAY!?
<Everyone else> *just about fall over themselves when Setsuna bursts out*
<Ryou> *turns back to Ari* Apparently, your friend has discovered something about Seto…
<Ari> She's looking for the owner of the Millennium Rod…
<Ryou> Yea… that's Seto, though he'll deny it to the ends of the earth. He hates having destiny controlled for him.
<Ari> Same as Setsuna…
<Yami> Well, most likely Seto will be at this place we're going to… His brother always wants to go…
<Setsuna> Great... *rolls her eyes*
<Yami> So what kind of powers does the Chain have?
<Setsuna> Other then bothering me? So far all I can do is read people's minds… but mostly I just pick up random stuff… I never actually read anyone's mind…
<Yami> You seemed to know just what the other duelists were doing…
<Setsuna> That was all Liana… She doesn't mean to cheat though…
<Yami> Maybe if you both helped each other out, you wouldn't have such a problem with it.
<Setsuna> The problem is the whole thing. I don't want to help, this is my life, and I'm going to control it!
<Seto> *walks up out of nowhere* How interesting that you feel like that…
<Setsuna> Gah! *glares* What are you doing here?
<Seto> Is it a crime to take little siblings to get some ice cream?
<Mokuba> Hey! I'm not little!
<Setsuna> *folds her arms* *doesn't pay attention to Mokuba* It is when you're the big brother…
<Mokuba> Seto, who is this girl?
<Seto> *sigh* Mokuba, I'd like you to meat the second person to ever defeat me in a Duel: Setsuna… Himoko was it?
<Setsuna> *glares* Your memory is better then your skill at least.
<Mokuba> No way Seto, She beat you??
<Setsuna> *still glaring* Fair and square, Mokuba. *looks down at him and smiles* You seem nice though, not at all cold like your brother.
<Mokuba> *blink blink* My brother isn't cold! He just duels tough!
<Seto> *pushes Mokuba along* Come on Mokuba, it's no use arguing… *gives Setsuna an odd look before quickening his pace and entering the ice cream parlour*
<Setsuna> *blinks* That is one odd boy…
<Yami> You get used to him… sort of…
<Jou> I agree with Setsuna… he's a bad egg if you ask me!
<Setsuna> *glares* I said he's a jerk, and he's cold. He's not a bad person.
<Jou> *blinks and backs away from her piercing eyes*
<Mai> *winks* Way to keep 'em on their heels Setsuna…
<Setsuna> Can we just go in and find a table on the other side of the room from them?
<Ryou> We're waiting for someone.
<Ari> *walks away from Ryou and stands next to Setsuna* Who, pray tell.
<Yami> Oh, here he is now. Hey Namu!
<Namu> *walking down the street* Hey guys! Sorry I'm a little late!
<Ryou> It's ok… Where's Marik?
<Namu> *sweatdrop* He decided to let me go tonight…
<Setsuna and Ari> *blinkage*
<Setsuna> *whispers to Ari* Those two are a little odd don't you think?
<Ari> *blinks* Uhm… yea… odd…
<Setsuna> *looks at her oddly* You ok?
<Ari> *blushes and looks at her feet* Yea… I'm fine…
<Jou> All right! Let's eat then! *leads the way in*
*to the group's (mostly Setsuna's) horror, the only open booth in the place is right next to Seto and Mokuba*
<Setsuna> *groans* Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…
<Yami> Come on Setsuna, he'll probably ignore us, so just ignore him! *walks over and sits in the booth*
<Setsuna> *rolls her eyes and sits so her back is to Seto's* *grumbles*
<Ari> *sits next to her as Jou, Mai, and Namu seat themselves on the opposite end and Ryou grabs a chair and sits on the edge of the table*
<Seto> *mumbles* You just had to sit behind me…
<Setsuna> *fumes*
*a waitress comes over*
<Waitress> Wow, we're crowded over here…
<Seto> Miss, you could join our tables together, my brother and I wouldn't mind…
<Setsuna> But I do!
<Seto> *smirks* It would make things much easier…
<Yami> Setsuna, calm down, just sit on the other end of the table. *turning to the Waitress* Yes, please, if you would.
<Waitress> Ok, as long as its all right with everyone
<Everyone> *nods, Setsuna reluctantly*
*they move the table together but Setsuna tries to nab a seat away from Seto and ends up getting stuck sitting next to him when he lets Mai sit next to Jou*
<Setsuna> *folds her arms* Are you trying to be an idiot?
<Seto> *folds his arms* You think I want to sit next to you?
<Setsuna> *fumes*
*they all give their orders, and Setsuna just about dies when Seto orders the same thing as her*
<Ryou> *is sitting very close to Namu* Why didn't he want to see me tonight?
<Namu> *edging away slowly* I have no idea… He doesn't tell me anything, like I'd care anyway… *accidentally bumps Ari's arm since she's sitting next to him on the other side* Oh, sorry…
<Ari> *blushes* It's ok…
<Namu> *blushes as well and tries not to look her in the eyes*
<Ryou> *grumbles*
<Waitress> *brings over everyone's orders on two trays* Here you guys go... who should I give the check to?
<Everyone> *points to Seto*
<Seto> *sighs* I'm only paying for my and my brother's... they came in on their own
<Setsuna> Feh... I knew you were a jerk
<Seto> Ok fine, just so you'll be happy, I'll pay for yours too
<Jou> But what about us?
<Seto> Pay for it yourself!
<Setsuna> *blinkage*
<Ryou> *to Namu* I'll pay for that *points to his sundae* if you let Marik out for a while... *licks his lips* *smirks*
<Namu> *edges away again* No... I've got it covered Ryou... *bumps into Ari again* Oh... sorry again... *sweatdrop*
<Ari> Uh... it's okay... *blushes* *actually doesn't mind him being so close to her*
<Setsuna> You don't have to pay for me... You're a jerk either way! *folds her arms*
<Seto> *sigh* I try to be nice... Well I don't care if you like it or not, I'm paying for you
<Setsuna> *blinks* *doesn't have a comeback for once, and lets him pay*
<Ari> *to Yami* Uhm, what's his *points to Ryou* deal? He keeps hitting on Namu!
<Yami> Oh... him... *sweatdrop* He and Marik have a... "thing".... Marik is Namu's spirit..... for some strange reason, even though he doesn't own an item anymore, he can still turn into his spirits...
<Ari> Weird... which one did he have?
<Yami> The rod... but now Mr. Charming over there has it... but he hates it
<Setsuna> *smirks* Nice name, Yami... I think I'll use that one for a while.
<Seto> *sighs* You don't have to be so difficult you know... you beat me after all, why not be happy? Yugi was all happy about it... why not you?
<Yami> *smirks*
<Setsuna> Because you're a stuck up jerk who probably still believes you're unbeatable, you talk down to everyone, and you looked at me odd before you came in here so I just don't like you!
<Seto> Hmph! Well, you're not exactly Ms. Perfect yourself!
<Setsuna> *folds her arms again and stares at the table* You're such a JERK!
<Mai> *mega sweatdrop* and I thought Jou and I fought.... you know, you two'd make a really cute couple *wink*
<Setsuna> *stares at Mai* ARE YOU KIDDING?
<Seto and Setsuna> *in unison* WE WOULD NOT!! *glare at each other*
<Ari> *smirks* She is right though Setsuna... if you guys got along you'd be really cute together! *winks*
<Setsuna> *kicks Ari under the table*
<Ari> OW!!! What was that for?!
<Setsuna> *glares*
<Ari> *folds arms* Hmph!
<Mokuba> *is looking at Setsuna and Seto* *blink blink* You two should get married... you're so strange...
<Seto> *stares at Mokuba* You've been hanging around with Jou and Honda too much...... *glares at Jou* What are you teaching my brother??
<Jou> *sweatdrop* Er! NOTHING!!
<Mokuba> I just think it's interesting... I never thought it could happen, but Setsuna might be the only person in the world as stubborn as my big bro.
<Setsuna> HEY!! Ooo! I take it back! You're not nice at all!
<Seto> *is laughing almost uncontrollably*
<Ryou> *blink blink* I don't think I've ever seen Seto laugh... not unless it was an evil one....
<Seto> *stops laughing and glares at Ryou* Don't make me duel you...
<Ari> Hmmmmm... what kinds of decks to you guys have anyway?
<Setsuna> *mumbles* Seto's is a dragon deck obviously...
<Seto> Thanks for pointing out the obvious...
<Ari> *coughs* Anyways... what about you Yami? I've read up on you, but you don't seem to have a basis for your deck... just the strongest cards out there.
<Yami> Uhm well... I suppose if you had to call it something... its mostly Spellcasters...
<Ari> I see... Mai's is all girls, I know that from watching her duel.
<Mai> You've seen me duel?!
<Ari> I saw you once in the Battle City Tournament... *smiles* Nice showin' those guys who's in charge!
<Setsuna> How about you Namu?
<Namu> *isn't paying attention because Ryou is trying to put his hand on his leg and get Marik to come out* Huh?? GAH RYOU WOULD YOU STOP!
<Ari> *for some reason, finds herself getting mad* *turns into her Spirit, Kibira*
<Kibira> Ok, who got Ari mad?
<Everyone but Setsuna> *blinks*
<Setsuna> Ok everyone, meet the spirit of Ari's Mill Item: Kibira
<Ryou> *suddenly stops what he was doing, looking puzzled at Kibira* *can't place it, but he recognizes her name from somewhere, and has this odd feeling*
<Kibira> *catches Ryou's look and gets the same feeling* I, uh... *blinks* *turns to Setsuna* Did you catch what was going on?
<Setsuna> Yea... barely... I was kinda busy musing over what to do to Mr. Charming over here because he's being such a jerk...
<Kibira> Then what was it?
<Setsuna> We're discussing our different decks, and for some reason, Ari got mad when I asked Namu what his deck was... *glances at Namu* Wonder why...
<Namu> *sweatdrop*
<Kibira> She got mad because of this shrimp? Pheh! *turns back into Ari*
<Ari> *teeters* Woah... uhm... I hope she didn't say anything bad... She can be quite proud at times...
<Namu> She called me a SHRIMP!! *jumps up* RYOU WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP IT!!!! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
<Ryou> *snickers to himself, grinning like a Cheshire cat*
<Namu> *throws some money on the table* I'm leaving... see you guys later *leaves*
<Ari> *bites lip* Great. I just met him and now he's mad at my yukikureru... *sighs* I have such bad luck.
<Setsuna> *grins* you seem to put a bit of emphasis on it...
<Ari> *glares* What's THAT supposed to mean?!
<Everyone> *blinks*
<Setsuna> *chuckles* And you say Seto and I would be a couple? for crying out loud, was I the only one who saw how red your face was? heh..
<Ari> @_@' *blushes even more*
<Ryou> *growls under his breath*
<Setsuna> Well I think we'll take our leave as well... It was nice meeting you all... except you *glares at Seto*
<Seto> Hold on, where do you live?
<Setsuna> Oh no, you're not offering me a ride
<Seto> I insist. If you live closer to me, then it'll be easier than for anyone else to give you a ride
<Setsuna> *blinks* How did you know I live close to you...?
<Seto> Ah... I, uh... *sweatdrop*
<Mokuba> *looks interested* Yeah, how DID you know?
<Setsuna> *taps her foot* You know what? I don't care, I'm taking the bus home. *starts to leave but Seto grabs her arm*
<Seto> No way, there are crazies on the bus. You live near us so I'll give you a ride... as much as I'll regret it later
<Setsuna> *pulls her arm away* I can take care of myself, and if you know you're going to regret it, then don't offer!
<Seto> *stands* Fine, if you want to refuse my hospitality and look like a jerk, fine.
<Ari> Oh go on, Setsuna. He won't bite you...
<Ryou> *smirks*
<Setsuna> *glares* Puh-leeze... oh fine! But I'm only doing this so Ari doesn't have to go out of her way to bring me home!
<Ari> *smiles to herself* Thanks.
<Setsuna> *picks up her stuff* I'll see you tomorrow then, Ari. I hope to see all of you guys soon too...
<Yami> I'm sure you will. Why don't we meet here tomorrow at three?
<Jou> We can duel in the park across the street afterwards.
<Seto> Sounds fine to me... come on Mokuba. *walks out with him and Setsuna*
<Ari> Well I'm going to get going... See you all tomorrow! *walks out*
<Ryou> *stares after her, annoyed that he doesn't remember where he knows her from*
<Setsuna> *folds her arms as she sits in Seto's car*
<Seto> *glares at her* You don't need to act so unfriendly and cold you know.
<Setsuna> *glares back* Neither do you, "Mr. Charming"
<Seto> Hmph! *keeps his eyes on the road, ignoring her*
<Setsuna> *rolls her eyes, staring out the window and ignoring him*
<Mokuba> *blink blink* You two are odd. *starts reading a book in the back seat*
<Setsuna> *mumbles under her breath*
<Seto> *drives the rest of the way to Setsuna's house, stopping right in front of her door*
<Setsuna> *decides to at least thank him* Thanks for the ride... jerk
<Seto> Wait, I'll walk you to the door. *gets out and opens the car door for her*
<Setsuna> *blink blink* *thinks: hoo kay...* *fishes her keys out of her pocket as they walk up to the door*
<Seto> *watches her face as she unlocks the door, glancing down at her Mill object*
<Setsuna> *noticing his glance* What?
<Seto> It's nothing. I was just wondering what your yukikureru was like... *smirks* She's probably just as stubborn as you.
<Setsuna> Well you did duel her... I don't like her... hey! What's that supposed to mean!? *glares*
<Seto> Heh... *looks down at her smirking smugly* Nothing... *looks into her eyes more deeply* *sounds serious now* You know, you're very cute when you're mad. *kisses her on the lips softly, but quickly* *smiles warmly, walking back to the car* *calls over his shoulder* I'll see you tomorrow then! *gives her one last look and smile as he gets into the car and drives away*
<Setsuna> *stares after the car, blinking and trying to process what just happened* That......... was surprisingly... not odd........... *smacks her hand to her head* What am I saying? Get your head together Setsuna! *goes inside*
