Mai's POV

I took my usual seat with Malik, waiting for the next duelists to be selected. I was praying I wouldn't have to duel Malik. If I did, I wouldn't know what to do. "The Next Duelists will be Seto Kaiba and Malik Ishtar!" I gasped. I had to watch this duel. Ishizu came behind me. "Mai, I have to speak with you." I nodded and walked off with her as the other went to watch the duel.

As Ishizu closed the door of her room, she turned to look at me. "Do you know why I forfeited yesterday?" I shook my head. "Malik loves you dearly. If I beat you yesterday, he would of gone evil once again. I need you to always look out for him. Promise me this." I blinked. "I promise. . ." She smiled. "Good. I also need to give you some words of wisdom about my brother." I blinked again.

"Number 1 : Never baby him. He'll get very upset and try to stab you with the millennium rod.

Number 2 : Never let him have sugar. He will be hyper for half a day." I coughed. "Sugar?!" Ishizu nodded and continued her list. "Number 3 : Never sit on his back.

Number 4 : Don't poke him on his left shoulder blade. It's a reaction where he pulls out the millennium rod and tries to smack the person in the eye who is behind him."

I laughed, imagining a small bird peck Malik on his left shoulder blade and then being smacked for it.

"And Number 5 : Give him the love and respect he deserves and gives to you."

I smiled to Ishizu. "And you call these. . ."

"My Words of Wisdom."

I nodded and got up from the chair I was in. "I'm going to go watch the duel. Are you coming?" Ishizu shook her head. "There is no point. Look to the monitor. The duel is about to end." I looked over to the monitor to see Malik. . .WIN! I jumped up happily. "Malik won!" I quickly ran out of the room and down the hall to see Malik coming down.

"Malik!" I jumped at him, landing in a hug and knocking him over. "I'm so glad you won." He smiled to me, but our happiness was broken.

"The final duelists will be Mai Valentine and Malik Ishtar."
