Chapter 5

Jou pressed his nose up against the window of one have the most refine and most expensive restaurants he'd ever seen. His stomach gave a loud grumble of complaint as he watched the waiters and waitress's pass him by with platters of food, he felt like he was in heaven. While Jou stood wide eyed in the window Mai stood at the headwaiters desk there she made the arrangements.

"Hello Mark" Mia grinned as she leaned on the desk

Mark gave a deep gulp as he grinned back at the young woman leaning on his desk. He felt the heat rise to face, he then felt the feeling becoming greatly uncomfortable.

"Hello Miss. Valentine" He finally managed as he smiled back

"Yes I was wandering if I could get a privet booth me myself and my companion" Mia asked she pointed out the rough looking Jou grinning at all the delights he saw through the window

He raised a brow in confusion and in doubt, that boy was the boy a lady like Miss. Valentine wanted to have a privet booth with? He almost found himself laughing this must be a joke; the gentlemen didn't have a jacket.

"Ah my lady that was a very clever joke" He began then he stopped suddenly the look on Mai's face gave him a whole other impression

"Mark I am not joking I want a privet booth myself and him" Her voice raising with every word

At this Jou had stopped his staring and had wandered over to Mai, there he whipped his grubby hands on his jeans and held out a hand to Mark.

"Hey there buddy the names Jou" Jou grinned

Mark only curled his lip in disgust as he turned abruptly from Jou and grabbed two menus. "This way please" He said with a bit of bitterness in his voice

Jou glared at him, as he took his seat. (What a jerk) He thought sourly to himself. Mai however only shook her head at Jou's deadly stare and she took both menus from the arrogant Mark. Jou grabbed the menu roughly as he whipped it open and stared at the foods written below, that was when he realized everything was in French. His eyes widen at the sight placed in front of him. (FRENCH!) His mind screamed (I can barley pass English never mind French!)

"Jou?" Mai questioned as she looked at him holding her own menu close to her face

"Ah yeah" Jou said as he looked from grinning from the jumbled words he was trying to figure out

"You look a little nervous is there anything I can help you with like reading it for example?" Mai smiled as she leaned over to take the menu

"No" Jou snapped, "I can read it just fine thanks" Jou said as he buried himself back into the menu

"Oh really that's good then I'll leave you to choose what you prefer" Mai grinned in a way that made Jou feel a little uneasy

Jou grumbled as he went back to the menu the first word to jump out was the word Les Olives Farcis. (What in the heck could that be?) Jou wondered as he flipped through book. Well he wasn't completely sure but it did have the word Olives in it and he new what those were at least he hoped he knew what those were.

"Miss. Valentine will that be all" Mark asked as he scribbled down Mai's order

"Yes that's it for me" Mia grinned as she awaited Jou's order

"And for the boy" He asked

"Hey I can order my own," Jou snapped

Mark turned to face him he grinned as he turned to Jou "Alright boy what shall you be having?"

"The Les Olives Fracis" Jou said proudly

Mai eyes widened at his order, but Mark looked confused "Boy is that all" He asked

"Oh not I would also like some of this" he pointed out about half the menu before Mai grabbed his hand

"Jou" Mai laughed "Your gonna be sick if you eat all that"

"Naw!" Jou grinned I eat more than that on my regular lunches

"Jou that's sick" Mia said

"Oh only to one with a weak stomach" Jou said as he pointed at Mai

"Well your gonna be the one with the weak stomach after you digest all that" Mia said as she leaned back in her seat

Jou never answered her; he only smiled as he handed back the menu to Mark, and relaxed himself back into his seat. Mia leaned on her hands staring aimlessly at the boy that sat in front of her, she found him quite interesting and well.... Her eyes traveled from his bright amber eyes down his chest. She grinned to herself, she knew she shouldn't be thinking that way, but she found it very hard to resist when he sat there open to her eyes. Jou felt his cheeks burning with embarrassment he could feel her staring at him. His arms raised to so they were crossed behind his head, Mai watched as his shirt tightened against his chest and stomach, making her own stomach jump.

"Jou" Mai finally breathed

Jou was brought from his own fantasies back to the real world with the sound of Mai's soft call. Jou looked back her and he replied "Yeah"

"So what have you been keeping from Yugi?" Mai asked as she stirred her straw in her coke her eyes never leaving the handsome boy

Jou's face burned red and his body became stiff with the question his arms dropped form behind his head and he stared at Mai. She didn't even seem to flinch at him; she only stared in blinking at him.

"Why would you ask something like that?" Jou tried to grin

"Oh Jou come off it" Mai snapped as she dropped the straw back into her drink

Jou was a little taken back when she yelled at him, Jou looked around the room before he answered.

"Listen Mai I hardly think anything I do or not do is any of your damned business" Jou hissed back regaining his composure

"Oh Jou come on your worrying Yugi he's worried that your sick, or well something has gone wrong" Mia said trying to sound adult about he situation

Jou felt a feeling of guilt sink into the pit of his stomach; he didn't want to worry his best friend. Yet he didn't feel he was ready to share his feelings.

"Jou listen to me I want you to spill your just making things worse for yourself and" Mia was then cut off by a furious Jou

"Mai your not me, and I will deal with things when I'm good and ready!" Jou hollered as he tossed the menu across the table and stormed from restaurant

Mai sat in complete shock as Jou raced for the door, she was not used to being spoken to like that and she wasn't going to put up with it. Mai bolted from her seat and raced through the restaurant just barley missing Mark.

"Miss. Valentine Your meals!" Mark hollered after her

"Put the bill on my tab I'll pick them up later" Mia cried as she swung open the restaurant door

Mai's head went from side to watching for any signs of the retreating Jou, and then there she spotted him. Jou went whizzing across the road, Cars slamming on their brakes and honking their horns.

"That stupid Kid is going to get himself killed" Mai cried to herself as she raced across the road keeping as close to the angry Jou as possible

Jou weaved in and out of the people on the street before he finally slowed his pace. (Stupid Mai thinks she can tell me what to....) Jou's thoughts trailed off when he saw Mia coming up from behind him and coming up fast

"WHAT!?" Jou yelled "No freaking way?"

Jou spun on his heels and then found himself on the run from a psycho Mai. Mai on the other hand knew she had to catch that little brat, nobody every treated her like that! Jou nearly bounced off people as he raced through the streets, still not able to loose Mai.

"Hey you little punk watch where the hell your going" One older man screamed at him waving his walking stick in fury (Sorry old men and walking sticks are so over used I know but I thought it was just to funny to leave out!)

"Sorry mister!" Jou yelled back as he then took a sharp turn to his left trying to loose Mai in the subway

Mai however saw the smooth turn he took, and she only imitated it coming into an overly crowded room. Kids cried and screamed, the mothers trying to contain their over hyper children. Maybe this was a bad idea, Mia thought; this was nearly impossible to see where she was never mind finding Jou. Mai slipped in and out of large groups just watching for him, when she felt someone smack hard into her side. Jou shook his head and looked up shock to see Mia was the one he had smashed into.

"Ahhhh!" Jou screamed "Don't you ever go home!"

Mai looked around quickly this was embarrassing, her hand shot out covering his mouth, Mai bent down and whispered into his ear.

Jou shut the heck up and I'll get us both out of here, then we are so gonna talk" Mia snapped as she then looked up

"mummmm Hummm flum" Jou grumbled through her hand

"What?" Mai asked

"mmmmummmm hummmm flum" Jou mumbled louder

"I can't understand you" Mai said as she bent down so she was the same height as the boy she had nearly in a head lock

Jou grabbed the hand she had over his mouth and glared up at her. "Never mind you just listen up I have no idea what your problem has been these last couple of days but I'm gonna find out"

Jou only stomped his foot down hard in his anger, this was completely unfair, Mai thought she was one big shot trying to tell him how to feel and how to deal with it. Well she was wrong, he would do things the way things suited him.
