This is a Yugioh love story starring my fave character Kujuka Mai as Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba's love interest! Ok so the story is kind of Bachelorette like, how? Well After battle city tournament is over and Mai has finally awakened (thanks to Yami Yugi) she renews her secret passion for Seto kaiba which had been going on under the covers for a while but no one was to know, however knowing that Joey wheeler tried desperately to save her from Maliks evil spirit Yami Marik, she feels guilty and decides to take Joey up on his offer of "more than just friends". Anyway: The first chapter basically begins at the end of Battle City the gang is about to leave when Anzu (Tea) overheard Mai talking to Seto about their previous relationship…… being the gossip she is Tea does not keep this to herself! So begins the bitter feud between arch enemies and one tough blonde……. I do not know or own Yugioh or 4kids entertainment……..although I wish I did he he……

Chapter 1 Battle city over……..or is it? "I never really did thank you Yugi" Mai says as her, Tea, Tristan, Serenity, Joey and Duke all board the blimp which will take them home (lets just say they are all going back to America) Yugi turns around and smiles at her "that's alright Mai" "anything for a friend right?" . Mai bites her bottom lip "friend?" she thinks to herself "come on he did save your life" the little voice in her head says. "Right" she replies forcing a smile. When the group arrive inside (the K.C machine which will eventually fly them back to their destination) Mokuba is by the controls awaiting Seto's command to "take off", Bakura stands by him, eager to get back into the REAL WORLD after being in cased in the shadows for so long. "Hey guys" Mokuba smiles with a sparkling look in his eye. "Hey Mokie when we getting outta this dump?" Tristan asks in his usual dim witted fashion. "I don't know". "When Seto gives the all clear" Mokuba replies. Joey rolls his eyes and pulls a face "that stuck up ass would have us here all year just so he could annoy us" his face gets redder and redder as he thinks about his least liked peer in the world Seto Kaiba. Mokuba hides a giggle and the room goes quiet as Seto walks in….

""Actually Wheeler if I could I would leave you here for the rest of your pathetic life" Seto snarls from behind. "Oh yeah well what's stopping yaw pal?" Joey yells clenching his fists. Serenity and Duke pull Joey back. Seto tilts his head back and laughs proudly. "I'm not your pal Joe" "how many times do I need to remind you?" "Or is that brain of yours completely full of cannabis?" "Kaiba" Yugi says sternly. Joey can almost feel his head explode onto the nicely polished floor. "Start this thing as soon as possible Mokuba", Seto orders. "The quicker I get away from that blonde gimp and his little pep squad the better". "Hey" Tea shouts angrily. Seto smirks and walks into his flash bedroom inside the blimp. "Let him go guys" Yugi says. "He's not worth it". Mai stayed silent throughout Seto and Wheelers little spat while at the same time not avoiding the fact that Seto was looking over at her whilst he was verbally bashing the mere mortal Joey. "I'll be in my room for a while" she says walking out of the control room. "Hey Mai" Joey stops her. "I kinda wanted to talk to you for a sec if that's alright?" When it came to Mai Jounuchi (Joey) was as polite and considerate as ever, almost gentlemen like. "Uh okay" Mai hesitantly replies. She actually was hoping to use this time to go into Seto's room and talk to him about this secret affair they have been having and if it really meant something or if it was just a bit of fun while battle city was taking place! "Let's walk", Mai suggests.

"Oh Serenity squeals in her room with Tea. "Joey is gonna tell Mai he has a crush on her". "Yeah I think that she already knows that" Tea giggles. "Yeah but does she know he is going to ask her out?" Serenity says happily. She has always liked Mai being the fact that the first encounter they had was a good one. "You think it's a good idea if they get together serenity?" Tristan asks walking into the room and interrupting the conversation. "Go away Tristan this is girl talk", Tea says pretending to be serious. "Well Mai was very nice to me" Serenity replies thinking of when Mai gave Joey the card that let him in the tournament and would help him get the money to pay for Serenity's eye operation. "Yeah why did she do that?" Tea asks confused at Mai's generosity towards the Wheelers. "Because she's nice Tea", Serenity says sweetly. "She is hot and all but nice?" "Maybe to you" Tristan laughs. "Tea glares at Tristan. "Not that you are not gorgeous as well Tea" he says embarrassed. "You dodged a bullet there Tristan" Tea says with a jealous fire in her eyes. "Well Mai pissed me off at first but I guess she is okay now", Tea shrugs. "I think she's fabulous" Serenity says looking in her bedroom mirror. "Would I suit blond curls guys?" she asks .What?" Tea and Tristan both gasp………

Meanwhile in the corridor Joey and Mai are walking. "Mai I don't know if you know but I tried my hardest to save you that day from that evil Yami Marik" Joey says with a sad look of defeat in his eyes. "I know Joe" Mai smiles sympathetically. Joey then walks close by her and Mai becomes a little uncomfortable. Over the years she has had to build up a lot of walls in order o protect herself, not just from sleazy men but from friends and workmates too. "Mai I would do anything for you ", Joey whispers with a genuine look of compassion in his eyes. Mai smiles and backs away a little. "The truth is my life would be lonely without you", Joey says advancing in again. Mai just stands there and lets him come closer, I mean he has liked her for a long time and would do anything for her. "I know you have probably heard this a lot Mai but you are one hot fox" Joey smiles in a sort of seductive way (well as seductive as he can be) Mai laughs and nods her head. "So what do you say Mai?" Joey asks holding her waist. "Can we give it a try?" "I promise if there is something you don't like about me I will change it". "Joey" Mai laughs patting him on the head. She never usually let a guy talk for all that time without getting a word in but she thought that she would give Wheeler the benefit of the doubt and let him plead his case. "Well if we are going to go out you can work on that temper of yours" she winks at him jokingly. Joeys face lights up and he hugs her tightly. "Whoa Joe calm down" Mai pushes him back. Joey's eyes begin to droop. "Just give me a minute to think okay?" she says rationally. "Oh okay" Joey replies still as hopeful as ever. "Meet me tonight in my room when the blimp takes off" she suggests smiling at him. "sure okay babe" Joey clicks his fingers and points at her happily before planting a kiss on her rosy cheek and almost skipping into Serenity's room (probably to brag about how he scored with the oh so hot Mai) "Oh and Joey" Mai calls out from behind him. Joey spins around "Yeah". "No bragging" she shakes her head and winks at him. "As if I would" he laughs. Mai then walks into her room, she is alone being the loner that she is (also most of her time was spent in Seto's room when they weren't duelling) She takes a deep breath as she applies her cheery red lipstick and brushes her long blonde hair. Seto always made her tingle and there was also something about him, besides his money that made her want to look her best for him.

Seto sits by his silver lap top in his room and types away at some important business (forming a strategy to defeat Yugi most likely) when he hears a knock on the door. "What?" he says in his usual tone of voice. "Well is that anyway to speak to a lady?" Mai jokes walking in twirling her blonde hair. "Oh hello" Seto says a little surprised to see her. "How are you feeling?" he asks walking closer to her. "Well", she replies. "Being in the shadows was not pleasant and not seeing you when I awoke was pretty rough too" she glares at him a little. "You know this is not out in the open Mai" Seto replies seriously putting his arms on her shoulders. "So that's an excuse not to see the girl you are sleeping with?" she whispers angrily. "When you were surrounded by those idiotic amateurs pretending to care about what happened to you I didn't feel inclined to barge on in okay?" Seto hisses back. Mai fights back a tear in her eye. Seto was the first guy who she actually opened her self up to and the fact that he didn't even bother to see her when she could have died really hurt her. Seto pulls his hands away from Mai and looks at the floor. "You know we were a temporary affair Mai" he says coldly. "No I didn't but thank you for telling me" she says sarcastically. Seto could see that she had dressed up for him. "So I was just your sex toy?" she asks furiously. Nobody uses Kujuka Mai like that ever. Seto shrugs coldly "perhaps you were" he replies. "Huh it's funny" she says crossing her arms. "I actually thought that we were more than some pathetic fling" "I guess I was wrong" she looks away. "Well I am sorry you got the wrong end of the stick Mai". Seto replies trying to sound unsympathetic in his long purple jacket. Mai then stomps up to him in her long purple boots and looks him in the face. "You wanna know something?" "Joey just asked me out before and I was actually contemplating saying no to him for you but now I think I might have changed my mind" she hisses and wipes off her thickly applied lipstick and storms out slamming the door behind her. Seto slumps onto his bed. "Why did you say that?" he thinks to himself. "She will probably never speak to me again now". He sinks his forehead into his hands and thinks…. Who was he kidding? He wanted Mai more than ever and would have loved a full time relationship with her but his cold stubbornness and insecurity stopped him from telling her how he really felt.

No one had ever made him feel like that before and he threw it away. He then grew angry as he pictured Wheeler and Mai together and Wheeler, the guy who Seto can always defeat with Mai, his lover and no one would ever know about what they had. Seto then jumped up off of his bed and opened his door. Insecure or not he was NOT going to let Wheeler have his secret love. OUTSIDE the blimp: Mai runs up to Joey and tells him to come inside her room as there was something she wanted to tell him right now……… Will it be too late for Seto? If not what will happen?
