"Well about damn time you woke up, Ra!" Came a slightly squeaky voice. Mai's eyes widened the size of saucers as she looked up at the side of the bed, she screamed, only for a hand to clamp down to her mouth.
"No screaming! What's your problem?" The female groaned. She had straight long blonde hair that reached down to her knees and dark looking purple eyes with a sinister glint to them, her lips glossed and a deep crimson color that eerily represented blood. She wore a skimpy tight black body suit that tied at the chest to reveal almost everything she had, with matching black arm cuffs.
"Who are you?" Mai asked.
"You're yami, duh. You couldn't possibly think of getting a Sennen item and not a yami? My name is Reha. Or, if you'd like to be an idiot you can call me Yami Mai." She smiled devilishly.
"Reha? You're a spirit of the scale?" Mai asked, bewildered.
"Well, I don't want to be called spirit, it makes me sound old." She tossed her straight golden hair back and pulled off Mai's covers.
"If you continue to sleep I'll go out there and act as you! Now wake up!" She said angrily. Mai rolled her eyes and instantly went for the shower.
"AND HURRY UP!" Reha yelled.
Once in the shower, Mai had to run a few things over in her head as she shampooed her hair. Does this mean that the others have yami's too? This is all too confusing. That girl looks just like me! Well, cept longer, more straight hair… but that's all. I don't want the others to know I have a yami… that would probably send them all into a craze! She quickly finished, turned off the shower, got dressed and opened the door.
"Ra you're slow!" Reha complained.
"Look, I don't want the others to know about you, so can you please return to the…er.. Whenever you go?"
"It's called a soul room, you moron! And I'll think about it." Reha acted like she was hurt to be sent to her soul room. Mai rolled her eyes and quickly applied her make up, and ran a brush through her hair. Reha admired Mai, being somewhat proud to be the yami of a beautiful reincarnation of herself.
"While you were sleeping last night, I went through your mind. I think I want to send that imbecile of a man to the shadow realm, what was his name? Oh yeah, Keith. He's such a little twit. Now that Joey boy sure is cute! Ooh! And so are all those other guys you know! Yugi, and Bakura-" She went on to gossip about all the things she learned about Mai in one night.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." Mai interrupted and slung her bag over her shoulder, and picked up the scale to hold in her arms.
"Fine, just get rid of me!" Reha stuck her nose into the air and crossed her arms. In a glittery red light, she disappeared.
//About time I get some peace.// Mai thought.
//HEY! IM NOT ANNOYING! //
//You're in my mind too?!//
//No, you just imagining this. //
Mai gritted her teeth and walked outside, Sennen scale in her arms. She saw that it was still extremely early and the sun was just beginning to rise.
"Hey Mai!" Yugi said, adjusting his jacket as he walked toward her. She smiled, and fully turned to talk to him, his eyes became slightly wider as he saw what was held in her arms.
"When did you get the Sennen Scale?" He asked cutely.
"Well, it may seem weird but some guy named 'Shadhi' appeared last night and told me all this nonsense that I was destined to have it." Mai smiled nervously.
//He sure is cute! // Came the familiar voice of Reha.
Mai ignored her yami and continued chatting with Yugi. He looked a bit uncertain however, as he leaned on the rails, his voice dropped to a small whisper.
"I don't know anyone that I am close to, but I was wondering… do you have a yami too?" Mai sighed, completely relieved.
"Yes. Do you?" Mai asked.
"…Yeah…" He looked at her silently.
"Do you get along with yours?" Mai asked once more wide-eyed.
"Of course! Why? Don't you?" His innocent gaze caused Mai to chuckle.
"Well, let's just say we started off bad this morning…" Mai trailed on.
"What's she like?"
"Well, she's loud and crude," Mai thought of Reha's first impression. "And very open to threatening or… sending people to the shadow realm? What..Or were is that?" Yugi smiled.
"Well, it's a dark realm… not really a good place to send humans, we can't stay in their too long, we could faint or even die. But the spirits can survive it. Although I don't know how Pegasus did it…" Yugi trailed off. Mai groaned.
"How long is she going to be around?"
"As long as you have the scale. I wouldn't look so down on it, yami's are here to protect us, no matter what or how they act. And, they are our reincarnations, you know." Mai blinked angrily.
"You mean that I was once that loud, rude, impatient little brat?!" Mai sneered. Yugi chuckled and nodded. Mai rolled her eyes.
//Gee, you not being very nice right now…// Reha pretended to be hurt.
//Because of your actions! // Mai countered. Yugi saw her zoning out and immediately knew she was talking to her yami.
"Oh, sorry about that," Mai said sheepishly.
"Oh, its okay, I tend to do that a lot too…" Yugi said comforting. "So what's her name?"
"Reha the wicked." Mai snickered as she heard Reha in her soul room angrily throwing things around.
"Reha…" Yugi seemed to be talking to his own yami at the moment.
"Gee, its like four people are here instead of two." Mai laughed. Their conversation of their yami's quickly faded as the others walked up. This included Joey, Tea, and Tristin.
"Hey guys, do you know if they have breakfast on this boat?" Joey asked, his stomach gave a loud 'roar' as the others sweatdropped.
"Is that all you ever think about? I think us getting home is a bit more important!" Tea said angrily.
"I think about other things…" Joey said quietly, catching a glimpse of Mai as they both lightly blushed.
//Ooh I sense a little lovin going on here! // Reha squealed happily. Once again, Mai ignored this.
"When are we getting home?" Tristin asked impatiently. Suddenly as loud voice was heard over the intercom.
"Passengers, we will be reaching Domino docks shortly." Everyone seemed a little more relieved as the tension was lifted through that announcement.
"Let's celebrate tomorrow night!" Mai suggested. "To the King of Games!" She winked at Yugi as everyone agreed.
"Let's try that new restaurant." Tea said thoughtfully. The others nodded as they neared their hometown more and more.
//I don't like her, can I come out and beat her head into the railing and then throw her body in the ocean? // Reha asked through their link.
//NO! Can't you say one nice thing? //
//…..No.//
Mai sweatdropped. How was she going to get through this?
