Keith grunted. Even he hadn't expected himself to do such a thing. Mai kept her gaze to the moon, her lovely face a rosy crimson. It was as if she were making an attempt at not looking at the man next to her.
"Mai….." Keith's voice was deeper, as he tried with all his might not to go mute.
"Yes?" Mai's voice seemed to pitch, like she was singing.
"What are you going to do from here on?"
"Well, considering Yugi beat Pegasus, I guess I'm leaving on the boat tomorrow morning, I'm going back home..." Mai stated the obvious. Keith mentally smacked his forehead; he should have known the yat would be leaving tomorrow.
"Do you plan on keeping in touch with the squirt and his friends?" Keith spoke bitterly.
"Well, now that I think of it yes, they have proven loyal friends to me, and in a way showed me something." The woman nodded to herself.
"I see."
"Why, do you have a problem with that?" She spoke, getting agitated.
"No, I'm just speaking what's on my mind. Just a little curious." Keith's offence began rising. Mai made a sound, more of a girly grunt if anything.
"Were are you going, now that it's all over?" Mai's gaze now followed her Vasachi boots, as she swung her legs over the dock.
"I'm not sure, probably moving in with some buddies" Keith groaned at what it would be like living with the boneheads he called 'friends'.
"Ah." Mai threw the word out of her mouth, simply dropping it into the air, surrounding her lips.
"Yeah.." Keith wasn't sure what the Barbie resembling woman next to him could have been thinking, if anything, he didn't want to know what she was thinking at the moment.
"America?" Mai interrogated.
"Yeah, don't you live there, obviously your clothes come from there at least." Keith stated, acknowledging her expensive taste in clothing.
"No, I simply order overseas to get my line." Mai smiled at the thought of looking through her clothing magazines in her richly decorated home, she missed it incredibly.
"Yeah well, I live there"
"That's quiet a distance from where I live."
"Yeah….." Keith knew were this was leading.
The silence was deafening, as the two looked of into the distance, afraid of eye contact. Mai's only thoughts were how selfish the man beside her sounded, while the opposite of her thought how feminine she was acting.
"So, you're going to leave? You know." Mai paused, taking a breath as she continued. "Back to America?" Her voice saddened slightly unfortunate to her, he noticed this.
"Yeah." Keith's mere words sounded rough to the sound.
"Oh. Ok. Well, I guess someday we'll meet up again?" Mai mused.
"Most likely. I wouldn't be surprised." Keith shrugged.
"Well. I'll be getting back to the campsite. I need as much rest for tomorrow as possible." Mai got up and quickly exited the scene. Little did she know, Keith the bandit had something up his sleeve. At least, with the money he stole from a loser with an infatuation with bugs.
*R&R! It's short because I wanted it to be a decent cliffhanger. ^_^*
