The Story of My Life

25

Once we entered Kaiba's office
The shifted from the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant to the focused intensity of his workspace.
Kaiba walked to his desk
The sleek surface reflecting the soft light from the overhead fixtures.

"Have a seat," Seto Kaiba

He said, gesturing toward the chair across from him.
His tone was authoritative, but there was an undercurrent of curiosity that I couldn't ignore.
I settled into the chair, feeling the weight of his gaze on me.

"You wanted to talk about the duel?" Yuza

"Yes... everything! Talk to me. I want good explanations about this" Seto Kaiba

I asked, trying to sound casual, but my heart raced.
Kaiba leaned against the desk with arms crossed...
His eyes studying me intently.

"Well.. you see.. Jun. he's just a wild person
I would never expected myself to duel against.." Yuza

"Yes. I saw some unusual tactics during your duel with Jun. It wasn't just a typical match. What was going on?" Seto Kaiba

I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts.

"There were dark energies at play. I felt it from the moment I faced him. It was almost as if he were using some kind of magic."  Yuza

Kaiba's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Magic? You're not suggesting he had some supernatural advantage, are you?" Seto Kaiba

"No, it's not like that," Yuza

I clarified quickly.

"It was more of an instinct. I could sense things surrounding him. I needed to win, not just for myself, but for Kaibacorp." Yuza

He studied me for a moment
His expression was unreadable.
It's like he noticed I was trying to hide

"You risked a lot by stepping into that duel.
I admire your determination, but don't underestimate what you're dealing with.
Jun is dangerous." Seto Kaiba

"I know.. I should've known better.." Yuza

I replied
Feeling a mix of gratitude and frustration.

"That's why I fought him. I couldn't let him threatened anyone. I respect what you do, and I won't let anyone destroy your dreams or just anything what you do." Yuza

Kaiba's gaze softened just a fraction, though
He quickly masked it with his usual stoicism.

"Your loyalty is commendable. But remember, you don't have to fight my battles for me. I can handle my own challenges." Seto Kaiba

I met his eyes, feeling the weight of his words.

"I just want to protect what's important to you, Kaiba. I know how you are and I know how you feel.." Yuza

He nodded, a flicker of understanding passing between us.

"Just make sure you're prepared. The world of dueling isn't just about skill—it's also about strategy and knowing when to fight. If you want to challenge someone like me, you'll need to be ready for anything." Seto Kaiba

"Then I'll keep fighting. I'll be ready" Yuza

I said, my voice steady.
Kaiba smirked slightly, his competitive spirit shining through.

"Good. Just don't think I'll go easy on you, even in a friendly match." Seto Kaiba

"Wouldn't dream of it," Yuza

I replied, a smile creeping onto my face.
I really like how determination he is
And very much detailed and comprehensive

As the conversation in Kaiba's office wrapped up,
I felt an unexpected heaviness settle in my chest. The weight of everything
The duel with Jun, the pressure of expectations, and the memories I'd buried deep began to surface.
