Yu-Gi-Oh! 4 Shades of the Universe (Universe Z)

"Very well then but be warned, my fusions are beyond powerful.Just know I won't take it easy on you."With that, Kalin activates his duel dusk.

"Only one," Kaiba replied with a confident smile. "But i think, at least right now, that's all that matters." He leaned gingerly back against his seat, enjoying the lift, watching the scenery shrink below him. After a few more moments of leisure the helicopter finally landed atop the KC Tower--the tallest building in the city.
Kaiba happily hopped out of his temporary cab before reaching a hand back up his companion for assistance. Behind him sat a small, white, quaintly decorated table near the southern walled-edge of the skyscraper. The city sparkled and glowed below them, but above the stars glittered unhindered by the cities neverending luminescence.

"Our food will be here in a moment, princess. But I'm sure what you're going to see will compensate for the wait time."



--------------------

"Of course," Zero retorted with a smile. "i wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not going to bet my locator cards; however, if you manage to beat me, I'll give you something worth keeping."

*still impressed by the flight...she stood wobbly out of the chopper...but as she realized her stance she stood straight in an act of militarized stablility and she began walking ever so firmly towards the table. as she viewed around her the lights shimmered around the building in array of dancing flares..she loved it...but she tried showing a serious tone*....i know i have been taking this day lightly...but after what you have told me i really do need to discuss this situation...and prepare a countermeasure for the events that will unfold soon enough. *she spoke seriously as she stood next to her chair waiting for his gentleman like attribute to kick in...but she knew she should smile at him and she did as she folder her arms and gave him eye contact*

Kaiba shrugged lightly as he moved over to Misu and kindly held out her chair.
"Any question you have, I have an answer to," he quietly and politely stated. "However, you don't need to act strong here. No one will judge you."

*although he spoke to her calm . She felt a slight discomfort when he spoke in his tone but she shrugged it off as quick as possible* I have many questions but here is the only one I have...since you have opened the dimensional portals...how many individuals have come through ? And are you following their every move? These locator cards aren't just for show... I can tell you're too knowledgeable to have not implanted tracking devices in these *as she threw her locator card on the table* but what bothers me the most is.... Why even open the portals to begin with?...and if so...what are you after?

"It depends on which 'me' you're referring to," he stated as he sat into his own chair. "I, like my father, wish to expand my influence and my abilities. But I'm not as deranged, and I do not want to start a war. These other....types of summons are very interesting, and I wish to attempt to master every one of them.
"But the other three are after something different. One is entirely controlled by his pride, but another seeks for a cure. The last is one I fear most, as his home is more ruined than I care to describe... He seems eternally angry." Kaiba reached over and picked up Misu's locator card.

"These have always had tracking chips in them, but we've never cared to evolve them. When you duel, they activate. My employees watch the duel for cheating, but that's about it. They're quite harmless." He set the locator down before looking out to the city once more.

"And finally, thousands of people have both left and arrived through this dimension today. It's great exposure. Trade happens, homes are sold, and so on. Those kids have a greater chance at having a family through this.... Though, I already know the risks, and I'm already prepared to defend my home if it were to be attacked."

"Is there anything else, princess?"

As a game master at this point..... *she folded her arms on her lap as she looked up at the sky where the moon shined bright* you have been playing your role and have been setting up your board with your pieces *she lifted her hand and began to scribbles scares in the air making a chess board sign * so...master... *she spoke with finess as she smirked...knowing her military prowess would help his outcome and his wits would her strategy * have you located all your pieces yet? *picked at the air moving an imaginary chess piece foward on her imaginary chess board,knowing his intellectual ability would see her movement at its precise location*

"Of course I do." He pointed to his right near aimlessly at the city park.
"Over there is last year's champion. With his normal schedule, he's probably found someone to cheer up by now, and thus is conducting his nightly park stroll. However, the most important piece is beside me."

He rested once more against his chair as a small parade of waiters and chefs appeared through the roof-access doorway with our meal. As if everything were pre-planned they set up Misu and Kaiba's meal with the greatest of ease before gingerly setting a tiara atop Selena's skull.

*she laughed somewhat maniacly* a wise yet savage man once told me... See...*she took of her tiara and tiddled with it a little* chess pieces are all worth something... And one of the most powerful of them all is the queen. *she lifted her crown and wore it with grace* but he also explained to me...that the effort placed in a queens sacrifice would justify complete victory. *as she stood and bowed at the food infront of her as she would do at her dinner table* and for my people...I will gladly give my all *she unfolded her cloth and placed it on her lap as she viewed kaiba's facial features *

"As would I," Kaiba stated simply as he situated himself as a gentleman should to his meal. "But there are things in this game of chess that you aren't aware of.. As an example, you don't know what piece I am, or what piece you are."
He watched the horizon blankly as he traveled within his thoughts for a moment before consciously blinking himself back into reality.

*they did not speak much as they ate... Only commending the chef for such cuisine and as the dessert was served.. This is where selena decided to break out with a few more questions * ah...that was great...*she fixed her tiara and wiped her lips lightly*...as for the pieces of chess...even if were a pawn or you yourself chose to be a pawn.... Well this is not completely the case . As worlds change so do our roles.... Now I take it you have a few back up plans...*she sipped her glass of wine* but where as... My question is...with all those worlds explored with you mastering these summons , with everything settled... And you rolling out these portals for everyone to enjoy... What?....what is your end goal? And if I... Or you... Would perish... What would be your plans then? *she saw kaiba's lips about to move but she lifted her finger as to shut him up* don't answer that question.... It was more of a wise rhetorical assessment .... I would like to see you facilities... As I do need a shower... And I do mean your place *she threw her cloth on the table as she stood up and placed her tiara on the table* you are not just going to place me in another room where I cannot keep an eye on you.. *she glared at him as she stated this and swiftly looked the other way* humph....I will not tolerate any other accommodations... *her seriousness drifted in the air but her heart was so content... Never has she been this close and comfortable with a person of the opposite gender.. And for some reason she didn't want this night to end* so....? *she spoke with authority*

Kaiba smiled and chuckled lightly at his companions actions and mannerisms. Without saying a word he motioned her to follow. With his guidance he led to the roof-access doorway and down a single flight of stairs before directing her attention to a rather simple elevator. As they waited for the contraption to reach their floor he decided to continue their conversation.

"As I've said before, princess, you don't need to be a general here. You don't need to be brave, or strong, or self-reliant. You're allowed to be vulnerable here. You won't get damaged. That is something I can promise."

*as they were alone she chose to let go of her militarized pose but rather chose to lead off with her savage manner which had been embedded in her since raised by her father. Her emotions were so mixed yet she chose to do continue with the actions that occurred next* really?...you will protect me huh? *she smiled as she turned to him and grabbed him by his shirt as she did the first time they met but this time...there seem to have been a different feeling involved...!not anger...but a sense of passion...lust perhaps? She tripped him up by the wall of the elevator and her lips were a peck away from his* and how do you suppose you will go about that? *her body let out a thick aroma of freshly baked macademian cookies as her hands gently swiveled down his shirt onto his waist*

Before Kaiba could open his lips to responded, the elevator 'dinged', indicating it's arrival. The doors open, and due to Misu's grip, he lost his balance and promptly fell into the compartment, accidentally dragging his lustful companion down with him.

He hit the ground with a pretty loud thud...

*she laughed historically at what just occured , it seemed the wine got to her head and she was just riding on the high now* hey...ur hand! Heh *as she pointed at she pointed at the position his left hand was...on her chest. As she was sill gripping him ever so closely* so...how about that shower huh? *she ran her fingers around his neck and shoulders as she giggled thinking about the fall*

"If you.." Kaiba groaned out lightly, still a bit dazed by the fall, uncaring about where and how his body was positioned at the moment. "..Want to get off, and go push the button that has the number 9 on it, it'll take us to my room. I'll show you were the shower is. Kay?"

*she stood up a bit wobbly and pressed the button as she lifted kaiba up in a single movement. Although small she could stand her ground with a man twice her size. As they entered the room and kaiba escorted her to the shower station. She laughed and admired his own face as he went on his way to freshen up...30 minutes later she awaited him a lot more sober viewing the scenary from his window and checking out the stylish gadgets around his home as she played low soothing music and awaited him with these purple and pink stripes pajamas he had somehow gotten her set up with ...as if he planned this to occur ages ago. * are you done yet!? I told you! I am not allowed to leave your site and vice versa! She yelled at the room he entered as if he was behind those doors plotting his escape or something*

Kaiba rolled his eyes to her demands and chuckled light to himself as he walked around the corner, wearing only a pair of sweatpants.

"Do I really have to sleep with you? That seems a pit excessive, if not seductive. You're not trying to kill me, are you? I thought we got past that part already."

No no... *she spoke lightly as she saw his chest and body and began tensing up* ummm...uh... *she grabbed his arm and approached the bed and pushed em on the bed rolling him on one side as she ran and Laid on the other... A king size bed that separates them perhaps 6 feet of distance ... * I... I think that's good enough... *she stuttered as she blushes* now before we sleep.. *she chose to ask a final question before letting herself go to the tiredness of the day* these other kaiba's ...who is this evil one? Do you know? And if so? Why not attack him at his core instead letting him spread...*she asked still overthinking things...yet yawning and cuddling in the softest threads and sheets she has ever laid on*

"I honestly have no idea.. But I at least know who it is not."
He calmly sat up and got out of bed soon after Selena fell asleep in spite of her aggressive efforts to keep the two together, then keep the two separate, so he went with his own actions instead. He quietly moved to her side of her temporary room and sat a desk. As quietly as he could he pulled out a pen, a pencil and multiple sheets of paper. Meticulously he drew out plans, notes, plots, cards, tactics and theories long through the night. He needed to plan further, for every possible ability--it was a curse to desire to understand and predict every outcome, every action, every note that could ever be created within the world around him. But even he couldn't be swayed by the randomness of his own weaknesses.
In the midst of his work he heard commotion and mumbles. He looked over his shoulder and discovered Misu twitching under her sheets. He tilted his head in empathy and gave up his project to tend to the softness he couldn't control. As gently and as gingerly as he could he readjusted her silk shell and caressed her smooth hair until she eventually calmed down. He then removed himself from her vicinity and made his way back over to his side of the mattress. With one last motion he removed his glasses and set them aside and fell asleep.

Mmmg... Hmmm...mmm *she cringed as she woke up a bit dazed and analyzing her surroundings as she laid up on the bed yawning and stretching her arms* morning... *she spoked lightly as she turned her head to the right expecting kaiba to be beside her... But his side of the bed was already neatly folded and a new outfit lied on his side with a folded note inscribed with her name* wa...where'd he go... *she fitted herself in her new wardrobe which consisted of faded "true religion" jeans a pink and white poka dotted blouse with a white undershirt , matching white and pink pokadotted panties and bras and a purple hoodie with leather padded designs on the elbows,a pair of black and purple padded fingerless gloves for her hands ,as for her shoes there were amazingly designed cupcake drawn Nike shoes with the sign seemingly popping out like if it where whipped cream as a 3D effect,also a small crown pin for her hair which she wore to the side , tucking in her necklace to hide the gem under her chest which had not bothered her since her arrival. she was indeed impressed as it seemed he knew her taste oh so well and as she finished getting dressed she picked up her deck which laid on the bed post and her duel disk which laid beside it and she walked out the room*

Kaiba calmly drank a cup of splendid hot coca in the next room over, rereading the various notes he laid out the night before with an almost zombie-like glare. He set his papers down as he took a long sip of his morning joe, then waved with his free hand to Selena as soon as he noticed her.

"Good morning," he mumbled robotically as he set the cup down, clearly not fully sentient. "Predictions correct, predictions met. Eggs on stave, still warm, not overcooked. Cocoa on counter. Toast abou--" He heard to toaster pop, then ding. "Toast done. Be quick. Stephen is waiting."

*she waved back and as she walked towards the toast as if it was calling her name looming over his paperwork as she nommed on a piece of toast and dipped cocoa * he can wait... *she patted kaiba on the head as she walked to leave her cup on the counter and clean her face with a napkin* also...thank you for your hospitality. I hope I was not a burden *she turned to kaiba with a dim smile on her face and her aroma smelling like marshmellows at roasted perfection.*

"Not in the slightest," Kaiba took another large swing from his drink, his mind finally catching up to speed with the world. "The aggressiveness was interesting while it lasted. How was the nightmare?" He stacked all of his notes neatly in a pile, squaring all the corners as best he could.

How did you.... ? *she looked down at her new shoes as she sighed a bit. And finally took charge and focus* lets go... *she power walked her way out towards the elevator, in a sense of frustration. Why did he have to say such a thing? Why bring something like that up? Yes she had a nightmare but the fact that now he knows shows him that she is weak and fears things he shouldn't have knowledge of... Not yet, as she furosiously pressed the button * cmon already...
