~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The bedroom reminded me of a hospital. I looked to my right and left, and on both sides were the only people I could even consider calling my friends. So far, they have been pretty lucky, like about ten minutes ago, when Jounouchi almost lost a duel and died because of the Sun of God, Dragon Ra. I then looked ahead of me to Ra's victim. He was just.... lying there. Malik's most loyal servant. Probably his only friend. And now...could he be dead? Is this what happens when you trust your friends? Even a big guy like him was broken so easily. He looks dead....
"Poor guy..." I muttered softly. Don't know why I was taking this so hard...I don't even know him, and yet I act as if I had lost a lover. Maybe its because this is my worst fear embodied in another being. I have two big fears in this world, I admit it; even the great Mai Kujaku has fears. And no, don't you dare say one of them is a day without make-up, shallow things like that don't affect me as much as before. Being alone is definitely one of them. But I mean, isn't that everyone's biggest fear? The other...is the ones you trust and love turning and leaving you. My parents did that when they died. I just hope my new family doesn't leave me as well. That poor guy in front of me though, he just went through both of my fears. First being betrayed by that bastard Malik, and now he was all alone. Betrayed by your only friend...I wonder how that must feel...
"What is his name onii-chan?"
"Can't say that I know."
"Does anyone know his name?"
"All I know is that he was loyal to his friend, and he got hurt for it..."
"All duelists report to the main deck!" I stood up and looked at my group of friends. Friends? My best friend, or was he more than that? Jounouchi Katsuya was being his typical self. I wonder if I was there to help him in his dream.... I let out a small smile. After getting struck down by the fake Ra, Jounouchi told the gang he had a dream and we were all there. We all inspired him to get up, through the bond of friendship and trust. I'm his friend, so I bet I was in that dream too! After all, you can't have a dream if Mai isn't in it.
"Hey Jounouchi!" I called to him.
"Err...hey Mai." He turned slowly.
"Listen Jounouchi, in that dream you had...well...was I there?" Damn! Nice going Mai, now he probably thinks I like him now or something. Oh well, he's fun to tease anyways. Teenage boys, so easy to make them lose their cool. I stared at Jounouchi as he looked away from me.
"Nope, not at all Mai, you were no where to be seen! Anyways, lets go the next duel is about to be announced!" He sped off after that. I grinned at his antics until I realized something...
"I wasn't in his dream?" Wait... I thought the kid liked me. I thought I was his friend. Maybe I thought wrong, and manipulated myself to believe otherwise.... Alone... betrayed.... I turned to the lifeless body of the tomb keeper. I sat back down next to his body. The man was pretty tall, and had dark skin. From his features and his accent, you could tell he was Egyptian. He had no hair except for a black ponytail. His chest slowly rose as he breathed. His golden eyes were closed. His body looked much smaller without that huge cloak or robe or whatever he wore. Do we all look that weak in our slumber?
"Looks like it's just you and me now, two lonely souls." He didn't reply. Figures. After all, he is unconscious. Kind of hard to reply to someone when you aren't even awake. When you are swallowed by darkness, and living alone trapped in your head, unable to see those around you. What's the point though of seeing those around you, when no one cares? Or does someone care? I thought someone cared. But so did he... I remember when I first saw the guy. For some reason I didn't get a bad vibe from him, and he certainly didn't seem like the one who would manipulate Jounouchi to duel and defeat Yuugi. I guess he was a good guy, and he was just defending his friend. We all defend our friends, whether it's a duel, or its life. I'm just glad I was able to feel the warmth of friendship, even if it was only for a bit.
"Number 5! Mai Kujaku! Please report to the duel arena immediately! Your opponent will be Malik Ishtar." Did Kaiba have to make the P.A. so freaking loud? It really ruins a dramatic moment. I touched the unconscious man's hand lightly.
"I'll be seeing you later, after I get revenge. You're gonna help me win this duel you know. I will take down that bastard for betraying you." I winked at him and flashed a thumbs up, though he couldn't see me. Force of habit, I suppose. "Your ass is mine, Malik."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mai! Be careful in this duel!"
"Stay out of this! I don't need your help to win!" Gods, they are so annoying! What's with him trying to be my friend now? Besides, that guy back in the hospital is helping me win. The man without a name.... the man without any friends.
"It seems that your losing, hun." Taunting your opponent was a fundamental strategy in this game; it lets you get under their skin. I was facing off against Malik Ishtar right now. Was it really Malik though? He felt...different, much darker and more ruthless than before. The noticeable difference was his hair. But hair doesn't change someone's entire personality.
"Not at all my dear, this game is just beginning." He grinned at me as his eye's widened psychotically. Jounouchi and his friends were watching me duel. So far they have cheered for my triumphant turns and also yelled out words of warning, though I have done all this by myself. I'm still the great duelist I always was, and soon I will be even stronger once I add his God card to my deck!
"You think just because you decided to spike your hair, you can make a mask for your true evil?! Your still as sick as you were before!"
"You want to see my true evil? My true darkness?!" Suddenly the world around me was engulfed by black. My body suddenly turned very cold. What was happening? This isn't right. Wait...just think it over, it must be a hologram or something. But Malik hadn't played any magic or monster card, and I don't see what was going on... My friend's faces started disappearing behinds purple clouds. Crap! This fog was so thick about the only thing I could see was my duel disk and cards.
"Tell me my dear, do you like what you see?" His arrogant smirk was hidden behind the shrouds of mist engulfing the playing field.
"Actually I do, since I can't see your face anymore!" I sounded a lot braver than I felt at the moment, but hey, can't show any signs of weakness in battle.
"Such temper my dear. If you're feeling so confident, then why don't you attack me?" That arrogant bastard. First, he takes control of my Dunames Valkyrie. It was because I got careless, and destroyed his Masked Beast Death Gardius without thinking, using a combination of my Mirror Wall trap card and my Dunames Valkyrie. After destroying his monster though, its special effect let Malik take my monster! I won't let him keep her though, she's mine, and she will not betray me!
"I summon the Friend-Slaying Amazon to destroy my Valkyrie!" My monster leapt into the air and sliced the monster in half.
"Not so tough now, are you Malik?"
"Hehehe...hahahaha...HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" I raised an eyebrow. What the hell was he laughing about?
"Tell me dear, can you name your friends?" He grinned as he pointed that weird rod at me. What is that thing anyways?
"Name my friends? What the hell?"
"Well? Do you have any at all? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
"Shut up! Of course I can, all five of them down there are!" I pointed at the group down on my left.
"Five you say? I count six my dear."
"Huh? Wait... Yuugi, Shizuka, Otogi, Honda, and Jounouchi, isn't that everyone? What kind of game are you pulling?"
"You have seemed to have forgotten poor little Anzu." When he said that name, a flash of a girl with brown hair streaked across my vision. She had blue eyes and was very pretty. Her dress sense was a bit odd, wearing a tight green shirt with no sleeves and a short skirt. Adorned on her feet were blue platform shoes with stockings. She had multiple bracelets hanging from her wrists. Very provocative I must say. It shows her figure nicely. Not as good as mine though. She seemed oddly familiar, like a picture from a book read long ago. Should I know who this phantom girl is?
"Anzu....?" The name seemed very familiar... I looked down...there was only one girl, and that was Jounouchi's sister.
"Wait...Anzu?" Someone was faintly calling out to me, like a ghost or something. There was an empty spot down there between them all. It was like a piece missing from a jigsaw puzzle. The gang felt like it was missing something.... missing someone. It felt incomplete. Was I really going insane?
"It seems," Malik taunted, "that you have lost the memory of someone close to you, and that would make sense, since in this Yami no Game, each monster holds the memory of one of the people we know. Don't you wonder why the monsters are all glowing? That is because they are not only monsters, but also parts of our memory. The Valkyrie was one of your monsters, which is why I did not lose someone, but you instead. Most unfortunate, since it would seem that she was the holder of Anzu." He grinned psychotically waving that strange Rod.
"But..." I gripped my head. If what he says is true, I have to be more careful. If I'm not, I may lose someone else...someone much closer and much dearer to me... "Jounouchi..." I whispered. I can't lose him or anyone else. I have found happiness through them, and I will not lose them! If I lose my friends, I will be alone, just like that guy back in the room. I said I would take revenge, and I will. I guess I'm also doing it for me... to prove the bond of friendship is eternal. I will not allow Malik to make my darkest fears my reality!
"Draw!" He drew a card as I prayed. I was alone enough. They may not be friends, but they are still company...and Jounouchi... I can't lose them. Please Kami don't let me lose someone else...
"Say goodbye to another of your friends quickly, for soon one of them well become a ghost to you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Executioner Makyora come forth! Destroy that pathetic excuse for a monster! "
"Damn you Malik!!" I screamed as the claws sunk into my Amazon. She exploded into a million shards, but the shards didn't disappear. They started to reform into a shape. Someone face...Oh no...it can't be...
"Jounouchi!" I screamed as that stupid boys face grinned at me. "Don't you dare leave me!!!"
"Oh my, it seems you have lost someone you really care for." He grinned. Dammit why was he always grinning?! That boy you just lost, was he special to you?"
"He was...my only friend..."
"Now you know what absolute darkness feels like my dear!" This can't be happening. I can't lose him...wait, whom am I losing? Someone very special...but I have no one special in my life. Was it that man who was friends with Malik? No... it was someone else... he was stupid but cute...brown eyes, or were they blue? What color was his hair? I gripped my head tightly and clenched my eyes shut. If he's so special to me, then why the hell can't I remember who he is?!
"Mai! Stay focused!" Even the words of Yuugi couldn't save me. I didn't get this. I could have sworn I had more friends, more people I trusted. I could have sworn I had someone closer...I couldn't hold it in any longer, I just had to scream...
"Please just let this duel end!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"As much as I love seeing you in bondage my dear, this will be over soon." His voice was a faint droning of noise in the background. I reached for my cards but I was bound to a tablet. What kind of sick pervert uses bondage cards?
"I won't...lose."
"You have already lost!" Wait...someone is trying to talk to me. What's going on? It's...like a ghost. A faint touch on my cheek...Chocolate brown eyes...messy blonde hair... Who is he? Was it someone I lost come back for me? I really hope so; I don't want to be alone anymore...
"I'm...here...for you.... Mai..." Who was speaking to me? Could it be that guy lying in the bed back in the blimp? No...he's unconscious. I really have to stop thinking about him and focus on what's in front of me. Wait... that voice...it's so familiar...so soothing...so warm...
"Jounouchi..." I whispered. His face suddenly appeared. Why did he look so afraid? I guess I must look worse off that I thought. After all, I had tried to summon Ra for myself, but Malik just said some words in Egyptian and God betrayed me. Malik then used some weird cuff cards and bounded me to a stone, but not without taking some of my life points with it. It hurt like hell, but what was more painful was the humiliation of being tied up by the guy I was supposed to be killing. Then, Jounouchi came along for me. I smiled. Finally, he was here for me, the person who I considered a friend, but.... he didn't think of me as one... my smile quickly faded.
"Mai, I'm so glad your safe! I just wanted to tell you that I do..." His voice was fading. What did he want to tell me? He looked so sweet. He felt so warm, yet he doesn't even like me. Was he apologizing? Hehe, Jounouchi apologizing, now I know I've gone crazy. I looked over his shoulder to see God. Ra was facing me. Could I escape? Maybe even forfeit the duel...No, I won't. I can't. The man in the bed is counting on me to win this. I will win this for him. I will win this for myself
"Mai, I won't let him hurt you!" A small smile returned to my face. I guess he was my friend after all. It's getting so dark though...despite the giant fireball coming right at my face. Hopefully it would hit soon...it was so warm, contrast to all the darkness around me.
"Mai! Jounouchi-kun!" Someone ran in front of us when Ra attacked. Who was it...everything is so blurry...
"Yuugi!" Don't scream in my face Jounouchi...it's so rude...
Suddenly, Jounouchi's weight was lifted off me. I guess Yuugi must be pretty hurt...Hope that kid's okay. Hurry up and help him Jounouchi, so you can come back to me. Malik...he began walking this way...paralyzing Jounouchi...bastard...unsheathing his strange rod that he waves around...something about killing me.... no....
"You think it's dark now, you have yet to see absolute night. Soon, you will forget what light is; you will forget everything, even how to breathe. It's been fun my dear!" A light flashed and my thoughts became blank.
"I'm sorry, I failed you...."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That's part one, and part 2 will come shortly! I know not much romance so far, but don't you guys wanna see how the story turns out? =P I think the next part will be the last, and if not, it'll definitely end at part 3. Hope you guys have enjoyed this so far ^_^
