Chapter 6
Mai placed it on her hand firmly on her hip, she had no clue where they were. To her the subway was like a foreign land, nothing to her looked familiar and the worst of it had to be she lost the exit. Jou grumbled every time Mai dragged them down another corridor, Mia trying to regain her barrings, and Jou only annoyed to death. Jou then felt another tight tug on his overly large jean jacket, and he pulled into another brisk walk. Jou and Mia weaved in and out of the groups pf people that collected themselves around the trains, it was when they were passing a certain group Jou noticed something. He leaned back on Mai's constant tugging to get a better look. Laughing and waving their farewells to each other were a group of girls from his class. Dressed in their uniforms Jou watched as they trotted off for where he knew where the exit was.
"No school huh?" Jou asked in a deadly tone
Mai found her attention drawn back to the handsome boy she had been dragging around for at least 20 minutes now. "What?" She questioned innocently
"No school, I thought there was no school" Jou asked in the same cold tone that now gave the usually strong woman chills
Mai found as her heart pumped hard against her chest, she was actually nervous to tell him that she planned the whole day, well actually she didn't plan on getting lost in the subway. But that was besides the point.
"Awe come on Jou you know just as well I do you were happy to have the day off" Mai grinned as she felt her hands shaking while holding onto the angry boy
"Mia that's not the point!" Jou screamed
Mai felt her cheeks burn red with embarrassment, she watched as a few heads turned to face the boy now shouting at the top of his lungs.
"You lied to me to what get me to make a fool of myself around, you Drag me to a stupid resturant where you knew damn well I couldn't read what it said. Then drag around the subway like I was some child you were babysitting well Mia I'm not a kid!" Jou screamed her felt tears threatening his beautiful amber eyes yelled her held them in. He was too proud to cry in front of Mai.
Mai had not even found the words before Jou ripped his shirt from her now loose grasp and raced through the crowds everyone now looking at Mai like she had hurt the child. Mia gave them all a horrible glare before she spun on her heels and stormed from the subway. (That was completely unfair of Jou to say she would even think of all those things. She did want to spend the day with him and it was just to find out was putting him down. Well that was her only reason right?)
Jou in anger shifted his backpack and headed for the huge red exit sign that flashed just above a set of double doors. (Mai was such a jerk, and he hated her.... Or did he, how could he like someone like her, not he hated her. It was just his hormones placed into hyper drive before. They weren't real feelings, it was only him having stupid thoughts" Jou smiled weakly at these thoughts he knew that was all they were nothing more nothing less. Jou climbed the stairs until he came into the bright afternoon sun, he sheilded his eyes as he turned down the main street and wondered back to his home. The streets were busy with the kids of the Friday afternoon heading home, tomorrow was Saturday and Jou had no plans of even leaving his house. He felt so stupid letting Mai trick him like that. How could he be so dumb, he should have known that there was no school. Jou was mid across the street when he caught view of Honda, Anzu, and Yugi crossing the street to Yugi's games shop.
"Hey Yugi, Honda" Jou cried as he raced across the street his backpack bouncing aimlessly on his back
Yugi turned his head sharply and then in a fury he, Anzu, and Honda dropped their packs to the ground.
"Hey there buddy!' Honda called grinning like the idiot he was
"Man you guys wouldn't believe the awful day I had today, con you believe that Mai kept from school all day" Jou looked his face red with fury
At that statement Yugi grabbed his bag quickly, he made a fake questionable face before he asked. "Well Jou maybe she was worried school might be too much I mean she told me you were out in the rain half the night" Yugi said trying to sound like Mai meant well
"Oh hardly she just wanted to make me look like an idiot, I know she did. We went out for lunch right and she took me to the stupidest French crap joint I've ever been to, and what's worse I could read anything on the menu I wasn't even sure what I ordered" Jou now stoppedt he think over that afternoon
"Well what became of Mai" Anzu asked looking around as if she expected to see that tall blonde floundering behind the infuriated Jou
"Ah I don't know and I really don't care, she ruined my whole day and now Dad's gonna kill me, the school will call asking for me, and then man I can just picture the awful sight. You guys I think I better head home. I'll give ya a call later ta night ok" Jou grinned
"Sure" Yugi grinned however under that grin was regret and sadness for Mai she really did mean well she only wanted to help Jou who seemed still under an invisible blanket of sadness
"Oh Yugi it was awful, he was so mad at me he acted like I did it on purpose" Mai said overt he phone while she herself picked at a pale of ice- cream
"Mai Jou will get over it, he's just I don't know I'm even more confused now, he usually happy to see you, but lately he been a little edgy, and now that I do think of it even worse now that he's been with you...." Yugi trailed off on the phone
"YUGI!" Mai yelled over the phone "Thanks for great news, now I feel like I'm the one that did it to him!"
"No, no, no, no that's not what I meant he just more on the edge since he's been with you, like he's trying to keep something from you" Yugi grinned overt he phone
"If he is keeping something from me then I have to know" Mai said as she fumbled with her spoon trying to get at the strawberry ice cream hiding near the bottom of the pale"I mean if he is keeping it from me and me only then I have to know"
"Well be careful Jou is not one to talk easily, are you sure you'd rather me not speak to him" Yugi asked as he watched his grandfather with a worried gaxe
"Well you can talk to him don't let me stop you, but personally I'm gonna go see him again. I know where he lives now you know, and I always get what I want and what I want is for that boy to speak up" Mai grinned at the funny thoughts of Jou stuck in a corner where Mai could pry what ever was bugging him from the handsome boy
"Ok Mai, but grandfather is nagging at me to help him....." CRASH SMASH! "Mai grandfather fell down the stairs I really gotta go ok?" With that Yugi hung up the phone and Mia was left with a dead tone of the phone
Mai wasn't sure why, but even though Jou pushed her aside and said a few mean things, she was excited to see him again. But this excitement however was not the kind she ever thought she would get around a boy like Jou. Mai tried to shrug it off as he stood from her huge couch and headed for the kitchen. Mai flung open the freezer door and plopped the pale inside, licking off the rest of ice cream from her spoon Mai stared blankly out her window. It was not yet night but she was already in her nightgown, she was really not up to any night-time parties or anything she felt like staying at home was her best bet. However Jou was stuck on her mind weaving in and out like a bad dream. His face almost seemed to reflect off the glass window Mai was staring out.
"Get a grip girl" Mai scolded herself as she waved her hand dismissively at the window "Your going to drive yourself out of your mind thinking this much about one person"
Mai chuckled at the thought before she nestled into her couch for a night of movies and probably a lot of junk food.
"HONDA!" Jou screamed as he reached for the huge candy bar Honda held over Jou's head
"Jou come on let me have one small taste and I'll give it back" Honda cooed
"You give it back or the last thing you'll taste is my fist going down your throat" Jou hissed
"Well excuse me" Honda said as a look of disgust cane over his face
Honda dropped the candy bar into Jou's hands, and Jou caught the bar before he flopped down on Yugi's couch and deep glare making wrinkle marks across his young boyish face. He looked like he was concentrating on some unseen object, his eyes were not focused on anything impacticulare, yet he looked as though he were watching something.
"Yugi I think you had better talk to that kid he has some attitude problem right now" Honda remarked as he stood tall by the small Yugi giving his best friends Jou a look of sympathy
"Honda I'll talk to him" Yugi sighed
"And tell him this is getting old if he's got a some sort of problem deal with it, and not make the rest of us miserable along with him" Honda stated before he turned his attention to Anzu who was near Jou offering him some of her smoothie
Jou however only said no thanks and turned his head form the also concerned Anzu. She could tell there was some thing eating at him, but trying to get that boy to talk was like trying to make a cat like baths. Anzu looked up at Honda and Yugi and only shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey Jou wanna go see a movie" Yugi asked in his high pitched cheerleader voice
Jou looked up a half hearted grin on his face and then he answered slowly "Yeah.... Sure sounds like fun"
Well maybe Jou will spill at the movies I have no clue. But please tell me what you think and I'll continue writing. Sorry the updates have been slow, but school sucks! School is keeping me busy. But I shall try to get them in more often! Please enjoy!
Mai placed it on her hand firmly on her hip, she had no clue where they were.
