To Protect You- A Jounouchi/Mai Fanfic
Chapter 3
The girls were let go once the boys reached a dank, dirty alley located between 2 large buildings. Hidden by shadows and piles of garbage, two more delinquents walked over with their hands in their pockets and smirks across their features. The shorter boy had a cross shaped scar and long blonde hair. The other was taller, and had pulled the sleeves off his black school jacket to show off a dragon tattoo on his left arm. Mai looked back and examined the two that had taken a hold of Shizuka. One had a similar build to that of Kaiba Seto; extremely tall and lanky, but still with obvious muscle tone. He seemed slightly older than the other four because of the stubble across his jaw. The other had a clean shaven head and several piercings across his face. Then, of course, there was the one that Mai had determined to be the leader of this band of misfits; the boy that had dragged them to this dark, smelly place. They were all distinct in appearance, but they all also had one thing in common. They all had the same dark, lifeless stare that elicited a sense of danger throughout Mai's entire body. She could feel their lustful eyes move over her.
"Wow, boss! You found a couple 'a sweet little things!" said the boy with the scar. He walked over to Shizuka, who was still in the grasp of the Kaiba look alike. "This one looks like she could rot some teeth," he exclaimed, placing his hand across Shizuka's left cheek. Her face turned white as paper and she tried to step back, but the tall one threw her into the arms of the Blonde boy. "Aw. Don't be shy, baby! I ain't gonna bite..." he lifted her up by tilting her chin towards him, "...hard."
"Get your hands off her!" Mai screamed, breaking the boss's grip and tearing Shizuka away from her molester. "You bastards better let us go!"
"Oh! She's got some spunk!" proclaimed the bald one. His eyes trailed up and down Mai's figure, and he said "... And it looks like she's been around the block a few times. My kinda girl! Hey, boss, mind if I spend some time with the blonde?"
"In your dreams, jackass," Mai sneered. "Why don't you scum bags go back to whatever sewer you crawled out of?"
"You know, I'm getting REAL tired of that attitude you got," warned the one called 'Boss.' He signaled for the others to step back, and he stormed powerfully over to the girls and backed them into a wall. Mai remained in front of Shizuka, trying to mask her fear from the young girl. This wasn't going to end well.
'Boss' placed his hand against the wall above Shizuka's head and leaned down. He stopped when he was at Mai's eye level and growled, "I HATE when pretty girls think they're too good for manners. Now, I've been REAL hospitable, and I think it's time you two showed some gratitude." He started to lift his other hand to grab Mai's shoulder. "So why don't you be a good girl and..."
A familiar voice interrupted from further down the dark alley. "You DON'T wanna do that."
