AN/ This story is the sequel to Shayla's Story, obviously. I highly recommend that you read that first. This picks up in season 2 of Yu-Gi- Oh!.
Mai pulled out her key and opened the door to her apartment. She opened the door and graciously allowed Shayla to enter first. She was still wondering how smart it was for her to run away from the orphanage. But she took a deep breath and entered.
Mai's apartment was big and luxurious. The first room had a three-piece white leather sofa set. There was a nice, medium-sized TV and entertainment center. A computer sat in the corner. A cat was lounging on the sofa set. A few African violets adorned the big window, which overlooked the heart of Domino City.
To the right of the living room was the kitchenette. A small oak table with two chairs took up the better part of it. The countertops were clean, save for a coffee machine and a toaster that had been left out. The kitchen was white.
Between the kitchen and the living room was a hallway. Three doors branched off of it. The one to the far right led to the bathroom. It was covered with fuzzy pink rugs, towers, and bath robes.
The other door on the right led to Mai's room. A big pink beg took up most of it. Mai had a desk that was covered in Duel Monster information and cards. Next to it was a vanity with all sorts of makeup. A poster of a harpy hung over the desk and a poster of Mai's favorite band hung over the vanity. Mai had a small bookcase that had a few romance novels on it.
The last room was a disaster area. Anytime Mai needed storage she threw it in there, not really caring about organization. Of course, most of the details of the room were lost on Shayla.
"I am going to have to clean out my spare room," said Mai, "But you are welcome to stay."
"Thanks," Shayla said with a nervous smile. Mai took of her stylish denim jacket and hung it up on a hook. Shayla set her walking stick against the wall and made her way to the sofa set. The cat looked at her and closed her eyes again.
"Did you miss me, Harpy?" asked Mai as she picked up her cat.
"Why am I not surprised?" muttered Shayla. She set her backpack, which contained everything she valued, by her feet
"Girl, if that is all you have I am definitely taking you on a shopping spree," commented Mai.
"Um, no thanks," said Shayla, politely.
"It will be fun," insisted Mai as she began to go through her accumulated mail. "We could even invite Lara and Tea. It could be a girl's get- together."
"Lara has to help Drake run Industrial Illusions," Shayla pointed out.
"What do we have here?" wondered Mai as she pulled out one interesting looking letter. The return address said it was from Kaiba Corp.
"What?" asked Shayla.
"I have a letter from Kaiba's company," said Mai as she skimmed it. Then she stopped and read out loud, "Due to your recent success in the Duelist Kingdom you are cordially invited to test a new product of Kaiba Corporation. Your dueling skills caught our eye as we prepare to send Duel Monsters to another level...."
"Wow, does this happen to you often?" asked Shayla.
"Nothing as big as this. This is worth ten grand," answered Mai. "Oh my gosh! The deadline is today! If I am going to participate I have to head down to the Kaiba Corporation Testing Facility ASAP!" Mai hurried up and grabbed her jacket. "Come on. I am sure they won't object to having you."
"But I wasn't invited," protested Shayla.
"Come on," said Mai as she grabbed Shayla's wrist and pulled her out of the apartment.
They entered the building and were immediately met by a group of engineers.
"This way," said one as he led the two girls.
"What exactly am I testing?" asked Mai.
"It is a virtual reality stimulator. It uses the technology of the old holo- projectors and the basic game of Duel Monsters. The player is put in an RPG style game where they must rely on their dueling skills to win," answered the engineer.
"Sounds tough," muttered Mai.
"Not really. The brass demanded the game be made more difficult. That is why you are here," said the engineer. "You are going to be acting as one of the computer players. It is your job to make sure the other testers do not pass."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Mai.
"The game is self-explanatory. Just wait until the two of you are in it. The basic instructions are given as the virtual reality is activated," answered the engineer.
"See," Mai whispered to Shayla, "you can participate."
"How is virtual reality going to work on me? I am blind, remember," Shayla whispered back.
"That is why we asked for you to come," said the engineer, picking up on their conversation. "The game needs to be tested on all kinds of people."
"They must have sent a letter to the Group Home," Shayla thought. The three of them entered the room. Ii was lined with all sorts of computer monitors and screens. In the middle was four pods. They looked like someone had tried to make a dentist chair from outer space.
"Sit down and I will begin the program," said the engineer.
Mai approached the closest one and sat down. Shayla managed to get into another one. She set her backpack under her legs. It was not going to leave her.
"Good," said the engineer. "Now, put your decks into the slot." They did so. "Ready? I am activating the program." He hit a large red button.
Instantly the top of the pod closed. A visor slipped around the eyes of the two girls. Other wires and sensors began to attach themselves to their bodies. The program began. For a second they were distorted, but then the virtual world became clear.
