Chapter Four - Dinner With Kaiba

"Hey Seto there here!" Mokuba said as he ran towards the front door.
only turned and walked slowly to make his appearance.

"Oh hi Mokuba," Ren said with a smile as she hugged him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you Ren." Mokuba said happily.

"Where's Seto," Ren's father asked just as Seto walked into the hall. "There he is!"

"Hello Mr. Narrow," Seto said with a slight smile. "Glad you and Ren could join me and Mokuba for dinner."

"Oh please Seto, refer to me as Allen." Allen said with a huge smile. "But I'll have you know we also have another guest...His name is Noah."
walked into the hall and looked straight at Seto. But no reaction. Seto only turned around and told everyone to walk into the dinning room and everything would be served to this shortly.

"So Ren, I saw you got to the second round of the finals." Mokuba said as everyone dived to get hot rolls that had just been set on the table.
"Yes, I was at the second round of the finals." Ren said aloud as she grabbed a roll. "But I guess I didn't make it to the third round."

"That's no surprise." Seto said as he leaned forward. "You were facing Yugi Moto. And it's almost impossible to beat him. Believe me, In previous duels it's seemed as if I might win, but then Yugi somehow takes the match and your defeated."

"Yeah, I remember reading something on that." Ren responded. "Something about him being unbeatable or something."

"Oh he's unbeatable...it's just a matter of finding the right strategy to beat him." Seto said as he buttered his roll.
suddenly stepped in.

"My brothers been trying to beat Yugi since as long as he's known him. But now that Yugi has the Egyptian God Cards he's invincible."

"Egyptian God Cards?" Noah said in confusion.

"Yeah, don't you know Noah?" Ren asked him. "There the three gods that were made into cards and each one has it's only special ability and there on chunk of attack points."

"Well that's one way to put it," Seto said with an amused look on his face. "Or you can look at them as the three strongest cards in the world that should only be in the deck of a true champion."

"And I imagine your one heck of a duelist by now Seto," Mr. Narrow said with a smile. "With the way you played back when you were a kid I wouldn't be surprised."

"Yeah Seto you must be really skilled." Said Ren as the food was brought out.

"Well if you'd like to see my skills for yourself then why don't we have a duel." Seto said as he picked up his fork.

"A duel...you mean you versus me?"

"Of course if your to scared to except my challenge I can't stop you from backing down." Seto said with a bit of arrogance.

"Hey! Of course she'll duel you." Noah said, lifting his head up from eating his steak. "Ren's not about to back away from a challenge and I'll bet she'll even beat you."

"Ha! Give me a break." Seto said as he laughed a little at the statement Noah had made. "So..what will it be Ren? Are you in or are you out?"
"A duel against you! Your on!" Ren said as she stuck her fork into her steak.

"So Seto I hear your eighteen now am I right." Ren's father asked.

"Yes, that's correct."

"You must really have the ladies going after you am I right?"

"Heh, more or less."

"Ah ha. So have you given any thought to who you might be marrying, any special someone?"

"Heh, not exactly. I'm all work and no play. And at the moment I'm not really looking to get real serious about anyone."

"Oh is that so. You know I was like that once. A big time work- a-holic I was, but then I met that special someone on accident. Turns out she was one of my secretaries. Then we fell in love got married and you know all the rest."

"Hmm, touching story." Seto said sarcastically. "But I'm not a easy to pin down, and most people know that."

"Well you may not know this but Ren is engaged to this young man over here."

"Wow, Ren your getting married?" Mokuba asked surprised.

"Yeah."

"He's going to take over my company for me because Ren doesn't want to and that way Narrow Tech will keep on going." Mr. Narrow said as he finished his meal.
looked a Noah for a bit then at Ren and gave a slight grin. In his mind the only this he could think was why Ren would want to get married to someone much less a wimpy green haired guy.

"Ren once you've finished your meal we'll both head to the dueling arena to get the duel disks ready." Seto said with a grin.

"Hey Seto can we watch." Mokuba asked aloud.

"Of course, you can all watch." Seto said.
the meal Ren, Seto and the other headed over the arena room and Ren and Seto both put on duel disks as Mokuba showed everyone else where to sit so they could watch.

"You may not know this but I've beaten top duelists from around the world." Seto said a grin. "And when this duel is done I'll be sure that I win."

"Seto I wish you would say things like that." Ren said in a sweet voice. But suddenly grinned. "You'll only embarrass yourself when you lose."

"Heh, so big words for such a small girl." Seto said grinning from ear to ear.
only glared at him as she walked off to her area where she would be dueling in the large dome shaped arena.

"Are you ready to duel?" Seto yelled from across the room.

"I'm ready when you are Mr. Kaiba." Ren said sarcastically.
only grinned.

"Then Duel!" He yelled. And the duel was on.

"Alright then Seto, why don't I get this duel started." Ren said with a grin. "Because as you know, it's ladies first. I play two cards face down and a monster card in face down."

"Heh, I didn't realize that you were a lady." Seto said as Ren glared at him. "Now it's my turn! I summon Vorse Raider in attack mode. And then I think I'll play this magic card. Noble of Crossout destroys your face down monster and puts it out of play. We then both shuffle our decks." Both Ren and Seto shuffled there decks and receded the duel. "I'm not done just yet so for my next move I'll play two trap cards face down and then I'll attack your life points directly. Go my Vorse Raider! Attack her now!"

"You've activated my trap card!" Ren yelled as a trap card was revealed on the field. "Sakuretsu Armor stops your attack and destroys your monster."

"Whoa did you see that move." Noah said as him and everyone else watched Seto and Ren duel from an upstairs balcony walkway. "She just used that trap card to destroy Seto's monster."

"Wow," Mokuba said in astonishment. "She's a lot better then before. But there's no way she'll beat my brother."

"Well, I'd have to admit that was a very good strategy you pulled just then." Seto said with a grin. "Now lets see what you can come up with next."
drew a card and looked at her hand intently. Seto only waited quietly as Ren thought up her strategy.

"Hmm, Ren has gotten good." Seto thought to himself. "The last move she played was actually good for someone of her status, or maybe not good enough. Could it be that she actually has gotten better? Well there's only one way to find out."

"Okay here we go! I play Harpie's Brother in attack mode and then I'll play this, Giant Trunade."
a huge tornado came blowing about the field and cards were thrown into the air.

"Harpie's Brother, now that the coast is clear attack Seto's life points directly." Ren said as her Harpie's brother, using all his strength, attacked Seto and took a chunk out of his life points.

"Yeah! Go Ren!" Noah yelled from the balcony as Seto glared at both him and Ren.

"This duel is far from over. I draw, and then I'll play my two cards face down and then play Spirit Ryu in attack mode. This monster gains 1000 attack points when I discard as dragon to the graveyard, so for this turn I'll discard my Blue-Eyes."

"What, why is Seto discarding his Blue-Eyes?" Mokuba questioned.

"Because he know he wont win." Noah said aloud.

"Huh!" said Mokuba.

"Why are you discarding your Blue-Eyes Seto?" Ren asked in surprise.

"Heh, only someone as unskilled as you wouldn't know the reason."

"What! Un skilled as- Wait a minute, you have monster reborn, your planning to summon him from your graveyard." Ren said as she gasped.

"Ha, you read my mind." Seto said as he played the magic card. "Now I will play the card to revive my Blue-Eyes and destroy your life points all in one turn."
the Blue-Eyes arose from the ground and roared loudly.

"What do you mean in one turn, even if you have summoned Blue-Eyes you still won't take out all of my life points. Even if both your monster are stronger then my Harpie's Brother."

"What? I'm sorry I could hear your remark about that Harpie's Brother being mine." Seto said as Ren gave him a funny look. "For you see I also have another magic card. Change of Heart will allow me to take over your monster and control it for one turn. And even though one turn isn't a lot it's all I need to attack you and get rid of all your life points."

"Oh no, looks like Ren is losing." Mr. Narrow said with a sigh. "I'm just hoping she won't be to upset about it and still remember the fun she had."

"I'm just hoping she'll win." Noah said in a determined voice.

"She won't." Mokuba said. Noah and Mr. Narrow both turn to him. "Seto already has the upper hand and on top of that it's his move and his turn to attack. Once he attacks with all his monsters the game will be over."

"Alright then, Blue-Eyes, Spirit Ryu, and Harpie's brother, attack her life points and win me the duel."
monster prepared their attacks and then aiming them straight at Ren they all attacked with each of their attacks.

"No, she lost!" Noah said with sadness.

"Yes, but at least she had fun." Ren's dad said aloud.

"Yeah, and besides that she was awesome the first few moves." Mokuba said scratching his head. "I'll have to admit she's a strong duelist, she almost measures up to my brother."
night as Ren's father said good bye to Seto, Ren and Mokuba taking Noah with him, Noah felt a little sad to be leaving Ren behind. He wouldn't be able to see her for a while and the only thing that would be keeping his mind occupied would be the lessons Mr. Narrow would soon be giving him.

"So Ren, what do you feel like doing tomorrow?" asked Mokuba as he and Ren headed towards a large sitting room along with Seto who was far behind them.

"I don't know, what is there to do around here." Ren asked as they entered the sitting room laced with beautiful curtains on each window and bookshelves at each corner. Not to mention the softy cushy chairs and couch that set in the middle of the room atop a large detailed carpet.

"Well you could always help me with my work." Seto said as he to entered the room.

"Huh, you mean I'd actually get to help you out with your gadgets?" Ren asked with excitement. Ren may not have really liked Seto, but even if he was a jerk he still made the coolest inventions, including her favorite, his virtual games.

"Whoa Ren, I didn't know you were into technology and the gadgets my brother makes." Mokuba said with a laugh.

"Oh yes, someday I may even design my own virtual game-

"Ah ha ha ha, that's a laugh." Seto said with an amused look on his face. "I started making games when I was twelve and you're wanting to learn now."

"Could you teach me?" Ren asked nicely.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, but teaching you would be to big of a task for me and I need all that time to finish my work. I have a company to run you know."

"I can learn, even if I were to just watch you work I could learn." Ren said with determination as she spoke to Seto. He only sighed and sat down in a chair near to him.

"Tell you what, I let you watch me work, but you'll have to help me out. I'll need you to organize things for me around my office."

"But what about us doing something tomorrow?" asked Mokuba.

"Of course we'll do something tomorrow Mokuba, how about I have breakfast with you in the morning and then when I'm done with helping Seto we can go to the arcade or to the mall or where ever you want to go. Sound like a deal?" Mokuba nodded, smiling with a pleasant smile and then took Ren over to the book shelves to show her their books.
even as it got later everyone headed off to bed, or at least Ren and Mokuba did. Of course, before Ren could go to sleep she had to check up on someone before hand.

"Hey, how's it going." Noah said from the online chatting screen. Ren looked into the web cam attached to her computer and smiled at him.

"Great, tomorrow I'm going to be helping Seto out with his work and then in the afternoon I'll be hanging out with Mokuba."

"Your helping Seto out?" Noah asked with astonishment. He shook his head and then added in. "If I were you I'd stay as far away from him as possible. I barely no him and I can already tell he doesn't like you."
so happened to be passing the hall where Ren's room door was slightly cracked open and overheard what exactly they were saying.

"I know he may not like me, but just because we acted childish when we were younger doesn't mean we have to now. I may not think of Seto as being a friend, but I'll treat him like one even if he is mean."

"Hmm, well I'd better be going. It's getting late and you father wants me up by five tomorrow."

"Okay then I guess I'll see you later."
web screen suddenly turned black and then vanish. Ren then turned off her laptop she had brought with her and stared into the black screen aimlessly. However something began to form in her vision as she looked straight in to the screen and before she knew it she realized right away who the figure was.

"Ahh, Seto you scared me!" Ren said aloud only to have Seto shush her.

"I came by to tell you that you will need to report to my office exactly at eight o' clock tomorrow morning."

"Oh...okay then." Ren said as she stood up from her chair at the table. Seto then suddenly turned for the door and began to head out. "What, you aren't going to tuck me in?"

"Heh, I'm sure you'll be fine." Seto said as he continued walking towards the door. "Oh and by the way, if I were you I'd tell that little boyfriend of yours to stop making rumors about me."
with that Seto was out the door, leaving Ren to go to bed while still in her mind spread the thought of what Seto had said about Noah spreading rumors. Had he overheard their conversation? Was he trying to tell her that he didn't hate her? But as the time went by the only thing that went through Ren's head were dreams as she slept.
