D.S.- Well, torturing Kaiba is over.for now..Next up is Mai with Miss Independent.by Kelly Clarkson. I don't own this song........or yugioh...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The cheering died down as the host came back onstage. He waved for silence and everyone looked up at him.

"Will the next contestant please come onstage?" he said, holding up the mic. The gang stared at D.S. she looked around, thinking.

"Well, Bakura, Tea, Kaiba and myself have already gone. So the next singer will be..Mai!" D.S. said, pointing at Mai, who stopped drinking her coffee. She stood up and walked over to the dj. He nodded and Mai walked up onstage. She took the mic and waited. The music started as the host walked offstage. The monitor lighted up and Mai started singing.

"Miss independent

Miss self-sufficient

Miss keep your distance, mmmm Miss unafraid

Miss out of my way

Miss don't let a man interfere, no Miss on her own

Miss almost grown

Miss never let a man help her off her throne So, by keeping her heart protected

She'll never, ever feel rejected

Little miss apprehensive

Said ooh, she fell in love

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

Misguided heart

Miss play it smart

Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no But she miscalculated

She didn't wanna end up jaded

And this miss decided not to miss out on true love So, by changing a misconception

She went in a new direction

And found inside, she felt a connection

She fell in love

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true)

When miss independent walked away

No time for love that came her way

She looked in the mirror and thought today

What happened to miss no longer afraid?

It took some time for her to see

How beautiful love could truly be

No more talk of why can't that be me

I'm so glad I've finally seen

What is this feeling taking over?

Thinking no one could open the door

Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real

What happened to miss independent's no longer need to be defensive?

Goodbye, old you, when love, is true (when love, is true) Miss independent."

Everyone cheered and applauded as Mai stepped off the stage and sat back down at the table, handing the mic back to the host.

D.S. smiled and said, "That was really good Mai."

Mai nodded.

"Of course it was, I'm good at competitions, and I'm gonna win this one."

D.S. nodded and thought about who should go next. Just then, Serenity walked through the door.

"Hi guys." She said, walking over to the table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

D.S.- Well, how was that? Please review for chapters 7 and 8 also. I know I said the thank yous would be right here, but since no one reviewed I'm waiting a little longer.
