Seto shaped the edge of the meat into a small point, then poked two dents for eyes. He admired his work, which looked amazingly like Joey, for only a short few seconds before slamming his fist into it. Mai jumped. "Hey, Kaiba... What's going on?"

Seto frowned, his mood once again dark and secluded. "What does that mean?"

Mai teased him. "It means get your head back below the clouds and don't be so closed-minded! For crying out loud, can't you just act civil for once? You are no better than Joey in any way, you're just too proud to admit it."

Seto shuddered. "Yeah, right."

Mai frowned as her tone got serious. "It's true. Back in the duelist kingdom, you fealt like special ruled applied to you because Mokuba was kidnapped, didn't you?"

"No."

"No point in lying, Kaiba. The fact is, that doesn't mean a damn thing. Joey was trying to save his sister, and Yuugi wsa trying to save his grandpa. There were a lot of people in there out to save someone they cared for. Most of them were eliminated sooner than the noble ones. I was lucky enough to be beaten by a truely worthy opponent."

Seto didn't seem to care, so Mai continued. "When I was first beat by Joey, truth is, I wouldn't except it. But I learned to live with my slight - And temporary - inferiority. And now we get along."

"Get along?" Seto laughed lightly. "I think that's an understatement."

Mai blushed only slightly. "Not like it's your business. You shouldn't be allowed to talk in public."

Seto could have laughed, but he was preoccupied, thinking over what Mai and Serenity had said.

Joey sat next to Serenity. "What's up, sis?"

Serenity forced a smile, despite the the tear running down her cheek. "Nothing. I'm okay." Joey didn't seem satisfied. "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"It's nothing. I'm just trying to understand, that's all."

"Undastand what? What's wrong, sis?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Serenity stood and walked off the bus. As she passed by Mai, she looked at her. "Where are you going?"

Serenity smiled and shrugged. "For a walk. I really don't know, yet. Don't worry." She opened the storage compartments in the bus and pulled out her jacket. She slipped it on and zipped it up as she said, "I should be back before dinner. Or at least before you leave."

In the meantime...

Duo Maxwell pulled on a leather jacket.



(Note to DTT - Learn Duo better.)

Okay, before I can write the next chapter, I hafta d/l a few GW episodes, or at least read some of the better GW fics that have Duo... I really haven't watched enough to know much about him. If any readers think you can help, like give me a little clip of an episode or something (text, prefferably, in an e-mail) that shows Duo's personality really well, I'd be happy to read it over. 'Sides... I want to see more GW anyway!

(Note to anime-illiterates - GW= Gundam Wing ^-^)

JH: Are you happy now? A whole 14 reviews!
DTT: Bug off.
JH: I DUNT WANNA!!!!
DTT: Hmph. Meanie.
JH: Meanie? I let you co-star in my fic!
DTT: And your point is?
TJ: (rubbing his head in pain) PLEASE stop arguing...
DTT: Anyways, not a bad suggestion - Duo Maxwell... I was gonna bring Domon Kashu, but I guess Duo works, too!
Elf: Damn straight!
