Stranger-Confrontation
The days passed, and time was running short, Mai still didn't know that Joey was back in the country, and Joey didn't know that she was worried, just as worried as he was.
'Joey, tomorrow's the wedding, are you sure you want to do this?' Serenity asked, her green eyes full of concern.
'I'd like to run away, far away, so I won't see her. I can't bear it.'
'That wouldn't be the wisest thing to do!' cried Yugi.
'Joey! That isn't the way to think!' Tristan yelled, landing a punch on Joey's cheek.
Joey lowered his head, his bangs covered his eyes, and they all knew he was depressed. Tristan was present, and he too was concerned, just as concerned as the others were.
'She-loves another.' Was his only reply, and he got onto his motorbike, that he had only bought the last couple of days, and rode off.
'Joey!' Cried Serenity. The tears rolled down her cheeks. 'Joey.' She reached her hand out, only to make contact air, and Joey was soon far from view.
As the sun setted, they turned around and started to walk back into the mansion, all with tears in their eyes, but not willing to shed it. Serenity ran back to her room, and laid her head on the bed, sobbing. Seto walked into the room silently, with a sad expression on his face. She lifted her head, and Seto could see that her green eyes were swollen from the crying.
'Everything will be alright.' He said, trying to comfort her.
'It won't be. Not with Joey gone,' She replied stubbornly.
'Now, If I didn't know Joey better, He's not going to leave like that, here,' Handing her a tissue, he continued, 'If you don't dry your tears, those emerald green eyes of yours won't be as pretty!'
She made an effort to smile, 'Will you stay with me tonight? Please? Then I won't feel so lonely.'
She noticed the surprised look on his face, 'If you weren't my boyfriend Seto, I would have considered you as my brother!' she answered him, giving a kiss, on his cheek.
Seto started blushing a dark red, 'I suppose I could.'
Meanwhile, in Yami and Isis's room, Yami was asking Isis about using her Millennium Necklace to find out what would happen.
'Yami, I can't just use it that way, it might not always turn out the way we want it. I'm afraid.'
He nodding silently, understanding what she meant. 'I understand that, I guess all we can do is hope that everything turns out right, the way it's supposed to be.'
'I hope that too.'
The rider sped away from the City, with tears in his eyes, 'I'm sorry Serenity, I'm sorry. I really am. I'm sorry for causing you guys so much worries, forgive me.' The tears became streams, and he wiped them away, 'I'm so sorry.' He blinked away his last tears and continued riding away.
The morning came, and Serenity found herself snuggling next to Seto. She started blushing. 'Oops.' she said softly, and she tried to get out of bed without waking Seto.
'What time is it?' came a drowsy, half-asleep, monotone voice from the bed.
'Uh.8:00 Am.' Serenity replied.
he sat bolt upright in bed, 'ARRAGH!' screamed the voice from the bed. Serenity jumped. 'Oh, sorry, must have given you a scare.' He said with a sheepish look on his face, plopped back down onto the bed.
'Good morning!'
'Good morning! Dang, I need to remember that I'm on a break and I don't need to get to the office till 11.'
'Today's the day.'
Seto let out a huge yawn, cracking his jaw (like the knuckles).
'Now, what have you been doing last night?' she teased lightly.
'Hmm, singing you lullabies and uh, worrying myself sick about Joey.'
'You're worried too huh?'
He nodded, 'I wonder what his life really is going to be, when he returns.'
'If.' drawled a voice from the door. 'Anything wrong? I heard a scream.'
'Uh.sorry about that Yami, I still forget that I'm on a break.'
'Oh, ok, I guess we'd better get ready for the-' Yami looked at the floor.
'I guess we'd better.'
Yami walked back to his room to rejoin Isis, while everyone looked tired, with red eyes and had definitely worried about Joey all night. But at Mai's home, everyone was restless as well, especially Mai.
'I can't do it!' cried Mai.
'Of course you can.'
'What am I going to say? I can't just say No, and I can't say Yes either!' she put her head on the dressing table.
'Follow your heart' Téa replied. 'Now, come on, we have a wedding to go to.'
Mai grumbled and tried to look her best, thanks to make up. She had to make a decision.
Meanwhile, while on the way to the wedding, everyone fell asleep; tired from the restless night they had yesterday. Serenity was hugging Seto, and had her head on his shoulder. Seto had his head on her head, and was dosing. Isis had her head in her propped her hand on the window, and Yami fell asleep, just in the position that he was in, staring off into space, except he had his eyes closed. Yugi and his Grandfather were snoring lightly, in the same position as Isis was.
As the driver put down the partition, he said, 'We're here Mr. Kaiba!' Noticing that everyone was asleep, he prodded Seto, 'Mr. Kaiba?
He snorted, 'Huh-?' Still dazed he looked at the driver for answers.
'We're here.'
'Oh, ok.'
As the driving put the partition up, Seto prodded Serenity.
'Where are we?'
'At the chapel.'
'Ok, let's get the others up.'
As Seto and Serenity got the others up, Mai was fretting herself sick.
'Téa, what should I do? I can't call off the wedding! The guests are coming!'
'At this stage, I don't either,' Téa replied, looking away. 'I don't know either.'
The wedding started, and as the bride and groom walked down the aisle, Seto, Serenity, Isis, Yugi, Yami, Yugi's grandfather, and Mai were all looking worried. And the rite started, right when they were worried sick, with butterflies in their stomach.
'Do you, Mr. Ryou Bakura take Mai Valentine as your lawful wife?'
'I do.'
'And do you, Ms. Mai Valentine take Ryou Bakura as your lawful husband?'
Mai looked around and took a deep breath, 'I-I-I-'
'Ms. Valentine?'
The door was flung open, and a blonde figure, obviously not dressed for the occasion walked in.
The group was taken aback. 'Joey.' Mai said softly, 'You came back.'
Joey walked up to Mai, and replied, 'I'm sorry, that I'm late.'
Mai's eye widened as she replied, 'Joey? Is that really you?' She reached out to touch his face.
'Yeah, it's me.'
Mai's felt a chilly wind pass though her knees.
'I'm so sorry,' Joey said again, and looked away, bangs now covering his eyes.
Mai's knees couldn't hold her up anymore; she passed out, only remembering the words the priest said, 'Never in all my years have I seen something so touching, like this.'
