To Love for Life
Authoress' note: Where are all the reviews? *Ducks from flying tomatoes* Okay. I miss reviews. Are you guys mad at me for starting a new story? God, I hope not. Okay, enough talk from me, no lecture, just a disclaimer and no torturing Joey!
To Keiko Matsuura: I'll keep checking your profile for updates! BTW, I like the story! Hope that you like this chapter! I like your new one, too! Even though I think that the rating needs to be changed to R.
To Mai Wheeler: YAY! You like my fics! And I'm waiting for you to write a new one. LOL! No pressure, but I have an obsession for putting Joey and Mai together. And for some reason, the dub anime is rated G, so they can't put anything more than hints! Darn... and ever since I've been watching it I've been hoping for them to concentrate more on Joey/Mai.
To Hope for love: Thanks for reviewing! And you got your new chapter of Parent Problems. And with my dilemma on that. uh. I'll tell you 'bout it in that next chapter. (BTW, Mai/Seto also makes me barf. Join the club)
To Mell Minanoto: Yup. It was a bet. And your not assuming, cause it was. LOL! Thanks for reviewing. Well, sorry for taking so long to update. Maybe not to you, but to me it seemed like a long time! Lol!
Artemisia: *sniff* No torturing Joey?
DD: Go back to your soul room, Yami. Unless you'll do the disclaimer. *Puppy dog eyes*
Artemisia: Fine. DayDreamerz (aka DD) Does not own YuGiOh. She doesn't own me, either. I'm not even real.
DD: *rolls eyes* That's the last time you'll do the disclaimer, Artemisia. Now go back to your soulroom before I make you eat spinach.
Artemisia: EWWW!!!! *Dashes back to soulroom*
DD: Okey, next Chappie!

Chapter 2: Trying
When I woke up the next morning. I thought about that bet that I made with Kaiba yesterday. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, didn't it? I didn't want Kaiba to get his filthy rich hands on her! No matter what he thinks, he is NOT going to win that bet. I'm going to!
I walked to school with Yuge and Tristian as usual, until I saw Mai coming up the street. There's my chance! I walked up to her.
"Hi! You're Mai, right?" As soon as those words left my mouth, I regretted it. I saw how much of a jerk she was to Kaiba, so imagine what she'll do to me!
"Yeah. So? I saw you staring yesterday. Hasn't your mother told you that staring is rude?" She laughed, high and mockingly.
I was quiet then, because I don't like to think of the time that my mom ditched and left me with my father. She thought that I'd turn out just like him, but I wasn't. Instead, I sent him to jail for beating up on me.
She took advantage of my quietness then, because she walked away, just like she did to Kaiba yesterday. I caught back up with Yugi and Tristian.
"Why did you even bother to make a bet with Kaiba? You know that you're going to lose!" Yugi was knocking some sense into me.
"This is the one thing that I'm NOT going to lose to Kaiba."
"Are you sure? Because I don't exactly see 10 million girls drooling over you every day." Tristian just HAD to say that, didn't he?
"Alright, that's it!" I was furious. Sure, I wasn't as popular with girls as Kaiba, but shouldn't I get a chance?
I walked ahead of them then. This was just too much for me.
When I got to school, I saw Mai messing with a guy's mind. That seems so much like her. Running out on me, and now playing tricks on a guy that she doesn't even know.
I didn't want to try my chance with her again, but my thoughts weren't enough to stop me from going up to her.
"Hi, Joey!" She greeted me with a friendly, but fake smile.
"Hi. Look, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."
She shushed me, and then giggled. What was her plan THIS time? She pulled her arms around my neck with a surprisingly strong grip, and then gave me a huge kiss, right in front of everyone. I didn't know what she was doing, until I realized that the guy she was messing with was right in front of her. So that was her plan! Geez.. Why does she do that? I knew that Kaiba was standing somewhere around there, and I HOPE that he saw that I had a better chance with her than he ever will.
She broke the kiss, and then the bell rang. I followed her. I could tell that she had a smug grin on her face from telling off that guy. That guy, on the other hand, was furiously mad.
I was puzzled. Mai was so unpredictable. Maybe I should ask her at lunch.
***********
During lunch, the same thing happened as yesterday, except not as many people came up to her, seeing the incident this morning. I waited until most of the people were gone, and I approached her.
"Mai?"
"What?"
"Can we talk?"
"Why?"
"It's about this morning. Why'd you kiss me?"
She laughed. "Joey, don't flatter yourself. It's for my own personal amusement."
Kaiba came then, and pushed me out of the way. He offered her roses. She laughed and spat at him.
I laughed, seeing how she rejected him for the second time. Kaiba growled, and left.
"Pathetic. Both of you." I heard her mutter that as I left.
************
After School, I saw her again. And there was Kaiba, trying to get her attention. He would do anything to get a girl to notice him! And usually he didn't have to do anything.
"Kaiba, stop stalking me!"
"Your mother told me to watch over you."
"My mother knows nothing!"
"Do we have to go over this again?"
"What do you mean, go over this again?"
"Why do you say I'm stalking you?"
"Cause you are! And I'll thank you for letting me go home without the third degree!"
She ran off, and but Kaiba caught her.
"I'll let you go if you give me a kiss."
"EWW!!!!! Get off of me, you monster!"
"I'm trying to show a certain deranged mutt something."
"What are you talking about, deranged mutt?"
"Joey Wheeler, now stop squirming!"
"You'll never get me!"
She caught Kaiba off guard, and ran off again. But this time he couldn't catch her.
"Ha, I guess that you had another failed attempt!"
"Well, if you're so confident in winning, why don't we raise the stakes?"
End notes: (VERY IMPORTANT!)
Okay. I hope that you liked this chappie better.
I don't know if you've noticed the change in my bio, but you might want to read it. Cause then your going to think that I'm sending out a new story.
Okay, start from the beginning. My friend and I share this penname. She's writing stories too, but she hasn't submitted anything yet. She's going to soon, hopefully, so if you see anything by Cyber Harpie Lady on this penname, it's her. Don't get scared, don't worry. And I'm usually the only one who reviews, I think.
