Anything - Mae

A/N: Continuation of "Suspension".

Jounouchi charged head-first into his dark-winged enemy again, but catching him off-guard, tackling him from behind. He shouted angrily, and twisted about.

"You!" he shot an accusing finger at Jounouchi, precariously holding his hostage with one hand. Jou ducked the pointing hand and went for Mai. The enemy noticed and dodged, but Jounouchi was too fast, and caught his arm. Gripping it tightly, he looked at Mai, only inches from her.

"Do you trust me?" he asked, apprehension creasing his normally carefree face. She nodded, wide-eyed and afraid.

"Yes," she answered honestly. Jounouchi wrenched the man's arm, freeing her. Mai fell.

Jounouchi wrapped his arms around the dark-winged one, and pulled himself up to his eye level. The other growled angrily, but Jou was too preoccupied to notice. He pulled his feet up, and planting them in the other's chest, kicked him and pushed off at the same time. The dark one went flying backwards, and Jounouchi sped downwards, grabbing Mai's hand and pulling her safely into his arms.
