Someone's Jou/Mai fic made me mad so I decided to write another one of my own because the fic made me mad and plus there is not a lot of Jou/Mai fics, I tried to make this bigger than my other fic, which it is because it is because it is two chapters. Don't get mad I'm trying my best to make longer Jou/Mai fics but I just can't come up with an idea. I usually use other people's fics as a reference but since I don't have many people's fic to take reference of… Please R+R!
!!!!!!!!This fic is only going to be two chapters long!!!!!!!!

Mai's POV
I stumbled out the door forgetting the pain it caused last time. The rain hit my open cuts and caused me to yell in pain but I could not let my self stop running.
Tears ran down my face mixing the blood on my cheek where the soft medal touched my pale skin.
The wind felt like knives stinging my lifeless body.
I fell to the cold ground hitting my fists as hard as I could because of my mistakes; I was taken advantage once again by coward male. I was beaten so bad that my heart was in pieces in front of my hands.
I kept pounding the ground using all the strength I had. Blood dripped down my cheeks and mixed with the muddy rainwater by my face. Tears made rivers down my cheeks and the salty sin fell to the ground making me pour my heart out in punches to the hard ground.
The rest is a blank and I woke up in a strange room that smelled like spices. The sweet smell filled my senses and warmed my soul but then I moved my arm and it stung so bad that I screamed in agony. I knew it was broke but it was neatly bandaged up but it did not stop the pain from spreading down my limp body.
"I would not move if I was you." Said a deep voice coming to the room.
"It is a little late for th…. Jou is that you?"
"Hai (yes) it is. Here drink this we can talk later."
I took the cup from his hand and drink the contents and the sweet taste of mint filled my mouth making my whole body fill with warmth.
I set the cup down and looked at the blonde boy, no blonde man in front of me.
"You have changed a lot Jou." I said softly.
"We need not talk about me but about you Mai, what happened to you?"
"Just a few scratches nothing really to worry about I have felt worse."
"Don't joke Mai you were half dead when I found you."
"You should have let me die."
"Don't say thinks like that. You are going to be fine but it might take a few months for you to fully mend."
He reached over to my arm and I jumped back. "Don't worry I just need to change your bandages."
I let him slowly up wrap one of my wounds and clean it off and rewrap it.
"You are lucky to still be alive."
"Am I? I don't seem to feel lucky."
He did not say any thing and rewrapped another wound. I looked in his deep amber eyes and said, "It would have been better if we did not meet again. I did not want to be saved nor live."
"Yes I would say it would have been better if we did not meet again after… but it was good that I saved you Mai."
"Why is that? I have no reason to live."
"But you are one reason I live." He said getting up slowly. "I never break a promise Mai."
"I will bring in some soup for you. Don't try to get up." He opened the door and walked out.
"Jou." I said to my self.
^"He turned me down. We are only friends he said." Jou said sitting next to me.
"That is no reason to take your life Jou. I have been turned down before but that does not matter it is their loss. If Yuugi doesn't see you that way then you should treasure his friendship because you never know when you will need friends."
"Maybe you are right but I don't see any thing worth living for. You came here to end your life why can't I end mine?"
"Because you have something to live for friends and family. I have nothing to live for." I said looking out at the dark sky, which was filled with dark raindrops.
He turned around and looked at me, "We both came here to jump so why don't we just get it over with?"
I looked at him, "I can not jump if you will jump. Look why can't you see you have reasons to live I don't."
"You do have something to live for you have…"
"I have what? What do you see that I have that would keep me alive."
He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Me." He leaned in closer to me and kissed my lightly on the lips. ^
~"What do you see that I have that would keep me alive?"
"Me." ~
I started to hum a song to myself trying to forget the words that echoed in my head and in my heart, "Can't you see? There is a feeling that has come over me, Close my eyes. You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless. Not need to wonder why. Sometimes you get like this. You can't deny."
" Cause I wanted to fly, so you give me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah. You set me free."
^He lips touched mine and set my heart afire. I wanted to push him away but his hold on me was too strong. He whispered in my ear, "If you keep me alive I will keep you alive. That is my promise to you."^
" There's a will there is way. Sometimes words just can't explain. This is real, I'm afraid."
I was singing the song to forget but the song just made me remember but the words just kept slipping off my lips sending me back to the past.
"I guess the sun is just highin flyin. You make me restless. You're in my heart. The only light that shins there in the dark."
^"That is my promise to you." He whispered in my ear sending kisses down my spine.
"What if I can't make the promise?"
"Then I will have make you." He said kissing me passionately. ^
"Cause I wanted fly so you give me your wings and time held his breath so I could see yeah. You set me free."
He held me tightly in his arms keeping me warm.
"Jou?"
"Hai?"
"Was this a mistake?"
"I guess we might not ever know."
I let him hug me tighter with the light blue sheets the only thing covering us. ^
"When I was alone. You came around when I was down. You pulled me threw and there is nothing that I wouldn't do, for you."
^I walked out the door and I saw him his shadow threw the window and it made me shiver.
"Maybe it was then again maybe it wasn't." I said to my self. "But I will probably never know."
I walked away never to come back and he did the same. ^
"Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah."
^"That is my promise to you." ^
I said the last verses, "Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings and time held his breath so I could see, yeah."
I heard Jou open the door and I said the very last line. "You set me free."
Well that is the end of this chapter! How did you like it? If you really looked closely to the lyrics then you would see it sort of goes with what is happing in the flashbacks and what happened between them. You could say it was a one-night thing that happened to stop them from ending theirs lives, which in the end lead to a promise that lived on. The promise lived on because like Jou said she still has something to live for and so does he, each other. The song is by Michelle Branch and it is called You Set Me Free. Please R+R!
