Zelda-Jewel: I thought I should owe you guys for waiting so long for me, and please review I'm just new to doing a JoeyxMai story, my confidence is in the gutter right now!
Last Time:
Mai let out a heavy sigh, leaning her head against the front door she thought of what just happened.
She kissed Joey Wheeler and what she felt was a spark of excitement, joy and trust, something she never felt with Kaiba.
Mai decided to go back up to her room wanting to write a journal entry on this wonderful day, when she went to turn around she was suddenly confronted with icy blue eyes.
"Why were you with that Mutt?"
'Oh No'

Unwanted Punishment
"S-Seto I-I can explain" Mai stuttered
"Good because I'm interested in finding out what you were doing with Wheeler" Kaiba growled
"I-I was just talking to him" Mai grew more afraid as she backed up a bit
"I didn't seem you were making a typical conversation when your lips were pressed to his damn cheek" Kaiba sneered as he reached out and grabbed Mai's wrists forcefully pulling her against his chest.
"I-I'm sorry I wasn't thinking, y-you know I wouldn't cheat on you" Mai cried as she struggled to get out of his tight grip, she really needed Joey right about now.
His eyes stared down at her like she was a possession and not a human being, they were icy and cold just like his heart.
"I know you weren't thinking, you didn't think about the consequences of your actions" he roughly shook her increasing the strength of his grip receiving a small cry from Mai.
"It's not Joey's fault, I-I the one o blame, he had nothing to do with it" Mai explained so that Kaiba wouldn't take out his rage on poor Joey.
"I don't blame him" Kaiba became dangerously calm as he ran his fingers through her long silk blonde hair
"Besides your a very attractive woman" Kaiba hissed darkly in her ear before pulling on the strands of her hair forcing her to look into those lifeless eyes.
"But you will be punished" he whispered sadistically

Joey's mood had lightened a great deal since he left Mai, he hadn't felt this good in so long, although he had a sick feeling about leaving Mai to Kaiba, and that feeling just wouldn't go away. He heard that Mokuba was gone for the summer and wouldn't return until school started for him, and that was the only one that could control Kaiba.
He brang his hand to his cheek, the feeling of that kiss Mai gave him still tingled his sensitive flesh, if he could go back in time, he would have told Mai how he felt what she means to him and they would be together, but no, as usual Joey screwed up and now she's in the hands of his greatest enemy.
"Hey Joey" A voice called to his left, Joey was disturbed from his thoughts as he looked over to see Tristan running up to him.
"Hey Tristan" Joey greeted
"Hey man, were did you go?"
"I went for a walk, I needed to get something's off my mind, sorry if I kept ya guys waitin'" Joey gave his goofy grin
"That's ok, but if you need some help just remember there are other fish in the sea" Tristan quoted 'famous last words'
"Wha ya talkin about?" Joy asked annoyed as Tristan hooked his hand over Joey's shoulder leading him back to the rest of the gang.
"I mean, there's no such thing as the perfect one" Joey narrowed his eyes, giving an exasperated sigh, maybe Tristan should stop while he's ahead.
"Come on Joey you have to forget about her" Tristan continued, 4, 3, 2, 1...
"WHA!" Joey yelled before shooting a death glare over at Yugi, who tried to focus on anything but is angered best friend.
"You know if you want I can hook you up with some real fine women" Tristan kept going in his own lala world.
"Tristan you don't even have a women, so no thanks" Joey pushed away from Tristan.
"Sure I do, we all do you see, Yugi has Tea, Ryou has well...ok Ryou doesn't have anyone but Duke has...uh his fan girls, and I have Serenity that leaves you" Tristan pointed not noticing Joey become red with rage.
"YA DO NOT HAVE MY SISTA YA CREEP" Joey clenched his fists getting ready to jump Tristan until Serenity placed a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Um...Joey I think we should go" Serenity wanted to leave before things get to out of hand, she tugged on Joey's sleeves.
"Thanks for inviting us" Serenity waved as she continued to pulling a still glaring Joey.
Serenity manage to get him at least half way out of the park before he started to ask questions making look like a naggering old beg.
"Wha' was tha' all a about?" Joey narrowed his eyes at Serenity, she flinched at the sudden attention drawn to her.
"Well...um...you see...um...we were talking..."
"About wha'?" Joey interrupted as he stopped walking to wait for an explanation.
"About how you have changed, your not yourself anymore" Serenity came on sternly she was indeed worried for Joey, couldn't he see that?
"Then wha' was tha' wit Tristan?" Joey pointed down the path they just came from
"He noticed that...uh...you been haven't a hard time getting girls to like you" Serenity lied and hopefully Joey would take her bait instead of her own head.
"Why tha'...already tha's it, I don't have a hard time with women, I just have a certain type I like" Joey pouted
There was a small giggle that escaped her lips, she always liked how he pouted, Joey seem to be funny even when he tried not to be.
"And is that certain type like Mai?" Serenity let it slip out before she could catch herself, instantly she covered her mouth with her hands, but she wasn't fast enough as Joey whipped around in surprise.
"Who told ya?"

Mai clutched her body for dear life, she was yet alone in her room, cold an bare, deprived of her pride and broken into the things Kaiba has always spoken of, nothing more.
She slowly reached for a secret she held from Kaiba that she hides under the bed, a small cardboard box, she opens the lid to find things she has cherished, a picture of her family, old songs and poems, from her ripped and shattered clothes she searches for the one thing that would make her not feel alone.
Mai looked at the Red Eyes card Joey had given her, she tightened her grasp on it not wanting to let go of it, tears formed in hr eyes as she grabbed her diary from the box, but instead of writing a normal diary entry she wrote this:
Eyes Eyes
tell many things, Joy or sadness from them spring. Eyes
are mirrors of the soul, Emotions running hot or cold. Eyes
of beauty beyond compare, Eyes of cold and glassy stares. If
I could look into his eyes, Would I find truth or lies? Would
I find warm sweet emotions there? Would I find someone who
truly cares? When our eyes meet and into them I stare so
deep, It's then, I will know all the secrets that you
keep. Passionate kisses, a lovers embrace, The eyes
will tell a story once face to face. Show me the way you
are, That we'll never be apart. Save me Joey from this
nightmare, From his abusive words and cold snares. When
I look in your eyes I'm safe and sound, When I look into your
brown.
Mai quickly signed her name as tears fell from her
eyes to the sheet of paper, she placed the box back under the bed.
She went back to hugging herself as goose bumps formed over her naked
body, were bruises now formed and scratch marks bleed.
And through her sobs she could only whisper,
"Joey"
