Hello! Back with another short story. Since I've wrote one about YamixYugi, BakuraxRyou; I decided to write one on MaixJounochi. I think that they make a cute couple. Don't you think so? Anyways, I might write one on MaixSeto or maybe SetoxShizka! Hahahaha! How funny. I think MaixSeto look cute together too, but  that's just my opinion; then again JoeyxMai look way cuter. Hahaha! What do you think? Should I write one of them? I can write a sad verison of MaixJounochi or a happy one.  Maybe I'll write a sad one and then a happy one. Yea, Maybe I'll do that. Maybe I won't do that. We'll see first. It's all depending how you reviewers think of this story. Anyways, this story is about how Jounochi and Mai got together. Kawaii Ne? Uh, I think I should stop rambling now and let you read the story ne? The song for this story is "1000 no Kotoba Wa" By Koda Kumi.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song "1000 no Kotoba Wa" or YGO, but I do own Spring Rain and Winter Tears!!!

I laughed along with my friends as we hung out at Yugi's house. We did this every weekend. We would go to Yugi's house and hangout, but sometimes we would go someplace. Yugi and Anzu continued to make fun of Honda. He was trying to think of a way to date Miho. I smiled. This was a regular day or at least that was what I thought it was. Battle city had ended a while a ago and Yami had returned to the land of the dead. He had returned to Osirus. I knew we would miss him. I didn't even want him to go, neither did Anzu, Honda, but most of all Yugi didn't want him to go. They had become lovers, but he promised Yugi that he would try his best to come back. I looked at Yugi and I wondered how he could survive the pain in his heart. He might look weak, but to me he's the strongest person I ever meet. I'm still in pain and I probably always will be the weak one.

I still remember what happened. Mai left after the Battle City tournment ended. Mai said that she would come back and visit us. I regret just saying good-bye to her and that I should have said something more or atleast I should have . . . gave her something. Should I have kissed her good-bye? Maybe she would have killed me if I did. I regret letting her go. I regret saying good-bye to her. There's no way that I could get her out my mind. Her smile, her eyes, her personality, her everything is just tearing my heart up. I wanted to see her again, but I doubt that I would ever see her again. I have no clue where she went after Battle City. I don't even know if she has a home to go to. I think that I should have at least asked for her number so I would be able to hear her voice and know how she's doing instead of going through this pain everyday.

"My turn and I draw!" I drew a card and looked at it. "Harpy Lady. Good draw." I thought as I looked at my hand. I had Elegant Egotisc. I looked at my opponet. Before the Duel started, I was able to find some information on him. He was in high school and his name is Li. He was from America and came here to Japan to duel in the finals. I had also made it into the finals and this was going to be the last turn. "I play Harpy Lady and Elegant Egotisc to make the Harpie Lady Sisters! Direct Attack the player!" I ordered. With the last blow, my opponet fell. Once again I had won the tournment. I left the stage and started leaving the duel stadium. Every tournment that I joined, I won. I had lost count of how many tournments I had won. I continued walking down the hall and heard Li talking. "Wow. Miss Mai was really amazing and a great duelist! I hope that I would be able to duel her again!" Joey said as he walked down the hall. "Hahaha, but I doubt you'll win." A friend said, teasing Li. I looked at my duel disk. I still wore it even though Battle City had ended. Many times, I had wanted to destroy this Duel Disk, but I realized that it contained too many memories to be thrown away. It had the memories of my first duel, the finals and . . . memories of Jounochi saving me even though sometimes it might cost his own life.

Jounochi. That name reminds me of him. That person who gave me more then I should have ever gotten. He showed me alot of things. One was friends and the other . . . love. He had gotten rid of my loneliness and given me something to fill it up with. I remembered the duel with John Cloud. The ninja Duelist. I realized that this duel was the duel that Jounochi had actually shown a part of himself that I had never seen before. I felt happy when I saw it, but all ended too soon. I would never forget about him. After Battle City had ended, I ended up going to America to test some new games. I came back to Domino Japan to look for Jounochi. I joined tournments after another just to look for him, hoping that he would join one of them. I walked outside the Dueling Stadium and Spring Rain had started to fall. I continued walking down the street. I didn't care what the hell happened to me. A lovestruck fool, looking for her love. I smiled at the thought of that, alas it was true. I was just a lovestruck fool, looking for her love. My body felt cold from the rain, but Jounochi came to me and I no longer felt cold. I felt his warmth and his love. Is this the pain that I deserved?

"Jounochi! Wake up!" I felt myself falling from the couch. "Ow. . ." I rubbed my head in pain. I looked up to see Yugi, Anzu and Honda looking at me and laughing. I sat up and smiled. The thought of Mai had taken over me again. "Jounochi, Are you okay?" I looked at Yugi. "Yea. I'm fine." I replied as I looked out the window. Spring Rain was raining. I then remember a myth about Spring Rain. When Spring rain falls, a wish is usually granted. Maybe this might be the chance I need for Mai to come back. "I just need some fresh air." I said quickly as I went outside the Kame Shop. I looked at the sky. There were clouds, but not enough to cover the stars and the moon shined through the clouds. "I wondered if Mai is looking at the same moon I'm looking at."  I wondered. I heard the door to the Kame Shop open. "Jouno-" "Anzu. I think he just needs sometime alone." Yugi said quietly as he closed the door. "But it's raining and . . ." Anzu's voice muffled as the door closed. I thanked Yugi inside of me. He was right. I needed sometime to myself. A full year had passed since Battle City. If I can wait for a year for Mai to return then maybe I can wait for another . . . I think. I sighed to myself. It was all a lie. Everyday I lied to myself saying that Mai would come back. During Battle city, Yugi and Yami had noticed that I was going through alot of pain. Back then, they would talk to me about what was going on, but I just lied about it and said that I was fine and didn't need any help. I had to get my mind set on saving Mai. That was how determined I was. That was how much I wanted to save her. That was how much I loved her.

I dreamt of her everynight coming back to me, but right when I'm about to embrace her; everything disappears. I usually wake up, reaching out for her telling her not to go. I did everything I could to get her off my mind, but nothing ever worked. She just kept on coming back and I knew that I was in love. I loved everyting about her. I would never give her up. I would never give up the hope of her coming back, but latly it's been dissolving. The memory of her was disappering and everything about her was getting murky. "No! You can't forget about her Jounochi!"  I yelled to myself in my mind. That was true. I never allowed myself to forget about her even if it killed me. I then started to run. Where I was heading towards, I had no clue. Spring Rain was all that I felt and saw. After a while, I stopped running and started panting for air. I looked around and realized that I was at the local park. No was ever here during the rain. "Maybe Mai might here. . ."  I said to myself in my minded, but I sighed. I was just dreaming, but Mai was my first real love. It might be hard to believe, but to me; she was my first true love. That was why I would never forget about her.

I continued walking down the street with the Duel Disk still on my wrist. My clothes were wet and it was getting colder. I looked up into the sky. The moon was shining brightly and it showed any and every path that I can talk. Inside of me, there was no room for lights. My light had left. My light was Jounochi. He was my true love and I had to go back to him. He meant the world to me. I couldn't look at him when I was driving away from him at the Domino Pier. It was painful, but I put on a face to lie about how I really felt. I didn't want to leave, but I knew I had too. I had no choice. I had no home to go to. That was another reason why I joined those tournments. I wanted a home to go too, but they never really felt like home. Home to me is being with Jounochi and being embraced by him. That was home to me. I wanted to tell him so many things. I wish I could send him my words, but that was impossible. He probably forgot about me. I could have dated anyone I wanted, but I didn't want too. I wanted to stay loyal to Jonochi. I wanted to be with him. I wanted to be his. I thought that it was pretty strange for a girl like me to go after a High school boy. I thought it was strange and wouldn't be right, but after a while I can tell that he was more mature then any other men that I know, even though he may be childish at times. He given me so much that I just wanted to break down. Sometimes, I think that I should even give up on finding him. The hope was beginning to disappear. Maybe I should let go of him. Maybe I should give up hope. Maybe I should move on.

Many times I almost gave up hope. Many times. Too many too count. The thought of him had given me hope. He was my hope, my life, and my love. I never had any friends and my parents died when I was young. The only family that I actually had was my Harpy Ladies. I cared for them more then I cared for myself. I loved them, but when Jounochi came. He showed me a different life. A life that he had and the life that I had never felt before. For that I was happy. For that I was sad. For that I wanted him. I was still walking down the street. I noticed a boy standing in the rain. "Why is he in the rain?"  I wondered to myself. "Is he crazy?"  I disregarded him from my mind. Why would I care for some boy standing in the street, but then my eyes grew as I heard someone calling my name. "Jounochi. . . Is that you?"  I wondered and started running towards the direction of the voice that I heard it from. "Jounochi!!"

I looked at the sky again. I usually wondered why I let her go. Was I just stupid to let her go? Maybe I was stupid. I wanted to know if she was safe or not. What if she was already has someone else? What if she was already married?! All these thoughts of her being with someone else really kills me. Standing right there I just wanted to Die. I didn't want to feel this pain anymore, but I realized that pain was also my happiness. I couldn't give it away. It sucks when your pain is also your happiness because you wonder if you'll ever separate the two and just feel happiness and not pain. I continued standing out there in the rain. "Spring rain and Winter Tears. . .I wish for Mai to come back to me . . ."  I wished inside of me. For a few moments everything was quiet, but the rage that I felt withing me grew. The rage of letting her go. I wanted to scream at myself. Why did I let her leave? "MAI!!! WHY?! WHY DID YOU GO?!" I screamed out loud. I didn't care who heard me. I wanted to satisfy my anger. "YOU BETTER COME BACK MAI!!" I yelled out again as tears started to fall. "IF YOU DON'T. . . I'll-I'll never forgive you. . ."

Mai kept on running and stopped when arrived at the park. "This . . . This is where the voice lead me!" Mai said to herself as she looked around. She then saw a blond haired boy and he was crying. Mai was panting, but wildly she thought if it was Jounochi. Her heart was pounding harder then ever. She walked over to him. The boy didn't bother to look up who it was. "What do you want?" He asked. Mai's eyes grew wide. That voice sounded much too familier. "Jounochi. . ." Mai said softly. Jounochi stopped crying and his eyes grew. He looked up. "Mai?" Jounochi said with a tone of confusion. "Jounochi!" Mai cried out as she hugged him and they fell down to the muddy ground. Mai was on top of Jounochi. She looked him in the eye and Jounochi looked at her back. Jounochi saw a year of pain in those purple eyes and Mai saw the longing of her in his brown eyes. Jounochi then motioned Mai to get off him and they sat up while Mai leaned on him. They were both quiet in the Spring Rain. Jonochi then noticed the Duel Disk still on her wrist. "You still wear that?" Jounochi asked while looking at the Duel Disk and then at Mai. Mai looked at it. "I still do. This holds more memories then I can remember." Mai replied to him. Just then Jounochi slipped his hand under the Duel Disk and pushed the button that hold it together. He slipped the Duel Disk off her wrist and held it away from Mai. "Jounochi! Give that back to me!! I'm still a Duelist!" Mai said as she tried to reach for her disk. "Mai, Your no longer a Duelist. A time for that has passed." Jounochi said as he calmed her down and looked into her violet eyes. "But I have too! That's-" But then Jounochi stopped Mai from talking anymore by putting his finger on top of her lips. He shook his head. "You don't have to duel anymore. You have friends who help and support you of what you want." Jounochi said as he looked up into the clouded skies. Mai looked at Jounochi. It was hard to believe that someone like him can be so childish, but serious at the same time. Mai smiled. "Maybe what's why I love him." Mai thought. "Jounochi. . ." "Yea Mai?" Mai leaned on his shoulder. "What do you wish for?" Mai asked softly to him. Jounochi's eyes grew wide. He couldn't tell her that he wished for her. It was just too embrassing. "Nothing really." He said quickly. Mai looked at Jounochi. "Well, I think we should go back to the Kame Shop." He said as he started to get up. "They'll all be hap-" "Jounochi!" He stopped talking and looked at Mai. Jounochi realized that Mai was crying. "Mai. . ." Jounochi went over to her and hugged her. "You didn't know what I did for you. I entered tournments after another hoping that you would be in one of them. I just wanted to see and talk to you again. I missed you alot." Mai said as tears streamed down her face. Jounochi looked at her. "Mai, was that your wish? To see me again?" He asked and Mai nodded in reply. "My wish was for you to come back to me and for you to stay with me forever." Jounochi said quietly. Mai's eyes grew wide. "Mai, I don't like admitting things, but you are my first love . . . "Jounochi said, his voice leveled to a whisper. Mai smiled when she heard those words. Just then Jounochi lifted her face up to his and Mai soon realized that their lips were finally meeting each other.

When Spring Rain falls, a wish is granted and sometimes the wish comes true. Winter Tears have fallen, but in the end the Spring Rain comes and brushes away Winter Tears; telling Winter Tears not to cry anymore because Spring Rain will make everything better.
