It was a cold afternoon in Domino City. Snow had fallen onto the ground,covering everything in a thick white sheet. Children could be seen all around throwing snowballs or duelling. Kaiba watched the goings on from the back seat of his limo.
"We're here sir." came the voice of Kemo from the drivers seat. "I'll be a few minutes Kemo. Stay here though." Kaiba could have been nicer and let Kemo go get a cup of of coffee or something..but Kaiba held his employees to higher standards.
Stepping out of the limo,Kaiba made his way through the door into the small shop. "Yugi!" he calls out as soon as the door is open. "I need to talk to you,get out here now loser."

Why did so many people turn up these days for him? Yugi just wanted time to study. He quietly pondered that maybe he should let his grandfather take more time in the shop and he stay at the school's library to study, but no matter... he heard Kaiba's voice. His conscience (and not the one who had residence inside his head, but his personal one) would eat away at him if he ignored it. So the boy got up from his desk in his bedroom and shut his book for his report. He walked out of the room and down the hallway, completely forgetting about the reading glasses that he had on his face, and walked towards the stairs.
"I'll be there in a minute Kaiba!" He called out cheerfully, like he always did to Kaiba. Although he knew Kaiba didn't appreciate it, he did it anyway; he was nice to everyone, even people who were jerks to him. He padded down the stairs in his white socks and he emerged from the upstairs, still in - you guessed it - his school uniform.
"What's up Kaiba?" Yugi was wondering to himself why exactly this warranted a house call and not just a call on the phone.

Kaiba would remain silent as his hand reached inside one of the pockets in his trenchcoat and withdraws an envelope which would be thrown towards Yugi with ease. Its contents: an invitation to the upcoming Kaiba Corp Grand Prix Tournament.
"I wanted to personally invite you to the Kaiba Corp Grand Prix. As King of Games you have no right to refuse to come to this tournament." Kaiba says in his usual arrogant tone. "I hope you're ready to fork that title over to me. Oh and one more thing...." says Kaiba as he looks about the small shop. "Make sure you bring Wheeler's leash. Don't want Animal Control coming to pick him up. You and the rest of your loser friends are invited as well."

Yugi was all ready to resist and decline the invitation... right up until Kaiba said that he had no right to decline. Oh really? Yugi raised an eyebrow. Even after all these years (three or four he thought, with his year hiatus), Kaiba still wanted the title that had been thrown upon Yugi because he was trying to save his grandfather. He listened to Kaiba's insults, and he frowned a little.
"First of all, when are you going to give up that line?" He asked. The line of Jonouchi being a dog... didn't Kaiba have something a bit more original? He raised his fingers, raising two of them next. "Second of all, I have my studies to focus on if I'm going to get into University of Tokyo this year. I'm not in any position to consider invites to tournaments..."
'Yugi, you could use a break. I've watched you; you've been studying every minute you can get. Besides... I think it would be fun to duel again.' Yami muttered into Yugi's brain, and Yugi almost felt a pulling towards accepting the invitation. Dammit! He wished Yami would stay out of this.
"... without thinking about it first." He said with a sigh.
'See? That wasn't so bad.'
'I blame you if I flunk my entrance exam...' Yugi said in exhasperation in his head. "How much do you want me there... and be honest. Is it for a title, publicity or the fact that you legitimately want me there?" Trying to appeal to Kaiba's sensitive side was about as fruitful as drilling a hole in a wall with your head, but he'd give it a shot as he thought.

Kaiba would only smirk at Yugi's excuses to try and not enter,up until he had said he needed to think about it. "What's there to think about? You're the King of Games, you have a title to live up to." Kaiba began to pace back and forth a bit. "Now as for why I want you there...you've named off all three reasons."
Now Kaiba would snicker as Yugi asked him to drop the dog lines regarding Joey. "I could come up with something far worse than dog lines...but they aren't as amusing to me. Besides,watching Wheeler's eye twitch every time I bring up the fact he's a loser mutt brightens my day a bit." Kaiba says with a shrug. "I'm being nice enough to invite duelists of all levels this time around Yugi. The least you could do is honor your title while you still have it and show up as a symbol of hope or something lame like that for the weakest duelists."

Ouch. Kaiba knew where to hit him. He was playing the nobility card, and Yugi knew that he was weak for that. Yami was smirking inside of his head, and he heard the whisper of 'See Yugi? We can help other duelists...'
He wished the both of them would consider his schooling.
He rubbed his forehead and then shook his head. "Alright, alright, I'll do it." How, he had no idea. He hadn't played in a year; he was rusty. He looked up at Kaiba though, frowning. "You've got extra security this time, right? So that things like what Marik did won't happen?" He asked. He knew that it was a pointless question; if people like Marik showed up, any security Kaiba tried to put in would be useless, but it was the thoguht that counted.

Kaiba would only shrug at Yugi's question. "Sure,why not." he says lazily. He hadn't been warned of anything of the hocus pocus mind trick type to be happening anyway. "Marik was nuts anyway...and don't try to put any of that hocus pocus jumbo into the topic...you know how I feel about that." says Kaiba as he looks down at some of the cards available on a shelf.
"You fools just now got the Armed Dragon cards?" Kaiba says with a laugh. "I've had them for weeks already...mainly because Pegasus is a blubbering fool who refuses to give up on becoming business partners..."

"Actually that's a new shipment." Yugi said with a bit of a smile. "Being the King of Games has its benefits... like your grandfather's shop getting all of the latest things for publicity's sake. We show the stuff on our shelves, have one shipment to sell, then we get a second and after that we give them order forms to get it directly from Industrial Illusions. Whatever we redirect to I2, we get 50% of the proceeds."
Yugi beamed at him. "It's great for a small shop like this really, because that's all we will ask for."

Kaiba would only close his eyes and smirk,not really interested in the dealings of a small shop that he didn't own. reaching into his pocket for his deck. "Since I'm sure you'll be coming up with a new deck,allow me to show you what you'll be up against besides my Blue Eyes." he says as he proudly lays five cards onto the counter. The first being Armed Dragon Lv 3,the second being Armed Dragon Lv 5,the third being Armed Dragon Lv 7,the fourth being Armed Dragon Lv 10,and the final one being the very rare and powerful fusion of any five dragons,Five Headed Dragon also known as Five God Dragon.
"Bring your best cards Yugi. You'll be needing them..." Kaiba says before retrieving his cards and turning to head towards the door. He would pause for a moment turning his head slightly. "Be sure to help Wheeler construct his deck. I don't want it to be an embarrassment to my tournament like it was during Battle City." That being said,Kaiba would exit the door.
"That'll show Selena and Mokuba that Yugi will be entering....." thinks Kaiba as he steps into his limo.

Yugi chuckled a bit when Kaiba left and looked up at the sky. Beside him, Yami came into view, and Yugi looked to the side.
"What do you know, partner? He really does care." He said as he shoved his hands into his pockets, and whistling he walked back upstairs, leaving Yami to laugh behind him.
