INT. KAIBALAND TOURNAMENT - DAY
The bustling Kaibaland Tournament is in full swing, with duelists and spectators filling the grand arena. Seto Kaiba stands at the center, dressed in his signature white trench coat, overseeing the event. He scans the crowd with an impassive gaze when suddenly, his attention is caught by a young woman named Diana. She's talking animatedly with her friend, oblivious to the glances she's receiving.
ZIGFRIED LLOYD, a confident duelist with slicked-back hair, notices Diana from across the room and saunters over, attempting to charm her.
ZIGFRIED (smiling) Well, well, what have we here? A beautiful flower amidst the chaos. Care to share your fragrance with me, my dear?
DIANA (giggles) Flattery won't get you far, mister. I'm just here to enjoy the tournament.
Zigfried leans in closer, flashing a suave grin.
ZIGFRIED Oh, I assure you, my intentions are purely honorable. Perhaps I can accompany you to a more private setting, away from the noise?
Suddenly, Seto Kaiba steps between Zigfried and Diana, blocking Zigfried's path. He looks at Zigfried, his expression cold and unyielding.
KAIBA (with a hint of annoyance) Excuse me, but I believe you're bothering my guest.
ZIGFRIED (raising an eyebrow) Oh, Kaiba, fancy seeing you here. I didn't realize she was with you.
KAIBA (raises an eyebrow) And who exactly are you again?
Yugi and his friends, watching the scene unfold from the sidelines, exchange puzzled glances.
YUGI (whispering) Who's that girl with Kaiba? I've never seen her before.
TRISTAN (squinting) Yeah, and who's this Zigfried guy?
Back to Kaiba and Zigfried, the tension builds as Kaiba's gaze narrows.
KAIBA (coldly) It doesn't matter who she's with. I won't allow anyone to disturb her peace. Now, leave.
Diana, amused by the whole situation, takes Kaiba's arm and intertwines it with hers, surprising everyone, including Yugi and his friends.
DIANA (teasingly) You're quite the knight in shining armor, Kaiba. I didn't know you cared so much.
Kaiba's stoic facade cracks, and a genuine smile tugs at the corner of his lips.
KAIBA (smirking) Well, don't let it go to your head. I'm just here to protect what's mine.
Diana and Kaiba burst into laughter, their connection evident to those around them. Mokuba, Kaiba's younger brother, appears from behind them, wearing a teasing smile.
MOKUBA (teasingly) Oh, there you two are. Causing a scene, as usual?
KAIBA (grinning) Just making sure no one messes with my favorite duelist.
Diana blushes at the remark, her eyes sparkling with joy.
DIANA (fondly) And I'm always grateful for your protection, Seto.
As the group continues their banter, the tournament carries on in the background, but their bond remains unshakable.
*SKIP TIME*
Several days have passed since the previous scene. The tournament is reaching its climax, with a buzz of excitement in the air. Yugi and his friends stand together, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Diana, who they had heard so much about.
YUGI (excited) I can't believe we're finally going to meet Diana. Kaiba seems really protective of her.
TEA (curious) Yeah, and Kaiba mentioned she's a fantastic duelist. I wonder how she'll fare in the tournament.
As Yugi and his friends converse, Seto Kaiba appears, scanning the area. He spots Diana standing with the group and strides purposefully toward her.
KAIBA (approaching) There you are, Diana. I've been looking all over for you.
DIANA (smiling) Kaiba, there you are! I was just about to meet Yugi and his friends. They've been dying to meet me.
Yugi and his friends exchange surprised glances as Kaiba embraces Diana, hugging her close.
YUGI (astonished) Wait, Diana is your childhood best friend?
KAIBA (nodding) That's right. Diana and I have been inseparable since we were kids.
MOKUBA (grinning) You guys have no idea how long he's been secretly in love with her.
Kaiba shoots Mokuba a playful glare, trying to hide his embarrassment.
KAIBA (ignoring Mokuba) Diana, I wanted to let you know that I won't be participating in the tournament. And since you're dueling today, I want you to have these.
Kaiba presents three Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards, an iconic symbol of his dueling prowess.
DIANA (astonished) Kaiba, these are your Blue-Eyes White Dragons! I can't accept these.
KAIBA (smiling) Consider them a token of my faith in you, Diana. Use them to their fullest potential.
Diana's eyes well up with gratitude, and she takes the cards with reverence.
DIANA (teary-eyed) Thank you, Kaiba. I won't let you down.
As Diana prepares for her duel against Vivian Long, the crowd gathers around the duel arena, anticipation building. Yugi and his friends watch, amazed by the depth of the bond between Diana and Kaiba.
YUGI (whispering) I never knew Kaiba had such a soft side.
JOEY (smiling) Yeah, it looks like he's got more than just a competitive streak. He genuinely cares about Diana.
The duel begins, and Diana showcases her skill and determination, summoning the Blue-Eyes White Dragons with finesse. The crowd erupts in cheers and applause as she secures victory.
Diana looks toward Kaiba, who watches with pride, and their eyes meet, reaffirming their unspoken connection.
The tournament continues with Diana's newfound confidence, and Kaiba stands by her side, supporting her every step of the way.
