"Joey no"! Mai held her boyfriend as the orichalcos encircled him. "You're wrong I never attacked, so you didn't lose the duel.

"But I'm too exhausted...to finish" Joey told her.

"I won't let this happen to you Joey. I won't let the orichalcos take you away". Mai's eyes were filled with tears

"It's too late for that. I already lost so there's no turning back. I'm just happy that if one of us had to lose it didn't have to be you".

"Don't say that"!

"Hey Mai...That was one of the best duels I ever fought. Thank You".

Joey pushed Mai out of the seal shattering her orichalcos stone as it took his soul

"Joey NO" she cried".

The memory of that incident had been in Mai's mind for almost a year and whenever it did Mai would end up crying. However she held back her tears this time

"I love you Joey however I can't face you until I can face up to what I've done"

Mai smiled. One day she and Joey would cross paths again, put the memory of that duel behind, and eventually (hopefully) get married.

That's it for this polarshipping fanfiction I will take all feedback whatsoever. More will come in the future.
