Seto and Mai Fan!!!

Scene: The K.C Blimp, Mokuba suggested a duel take place to see who will go back to the states with Mai and end the bitter feud between Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler…. Or will it?

The group have all raced outside in anticipation (Tea and Yugi are just glad that there will be no more fights and Tristan and Duke will be happy to get home and continue fighting over Serenity) "Ready Wheeler?" Kaiba yells to his opponent outside in the Duel field... "Oh you bet Smartass" Jounuchi yells back certain that this time he will finally beat the guy that has towered over him ever since he became involved in duel masters. "Puh" "the only reason you were able to enter this tournament was because of Mai" Seto snarls, adjusting his duel deck. Mai is standing behind the two duellists. She smiles to herself. It's true; she did help Joey but only as a friend though. Tea, Yugi and the others are huddled in a Corner behind Joey (off course). "Look at her" Tea hisses in Jealousy at Mai. "I bet she is enjoying every minute of this duel" "stuff how every one else is feeling". "Yeah well who wouldn't?" Tristan laughs. "If I had to chick duellists fighting over me I would be loving it too". Duke smiles and agrees. Yugi rolls his eyes and Tea pouts. "Hey where's Serenity?" Tristan asks. "Over there by Mai" Bakura replies pointing to the young wheeler standing by Mai. "Why are they over there?" Duke asks, gazing at the two girls. "Snap out of it" Tea waves her hand in front of Duke's face. "I hope this doesn't end too badly" Yugi sighs.

The tension amongst the Kaiba and Wheeler is extreme. "You guys its about to start" Serenity calls out to her friends. "Hey Serenity you know you don't have to stay here with me", Mai says. "Oh it's alright Mai" Serenity smiles. "Besides Joey would like it if I was here to watch him duel for once". Mai nods her head and twirls her hair. She is actually pretty nervous about the whole thing. "What a stupid idea" she thinks to herself. Then again how else would she decide?

"The duel between Mr Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler will now begin" the referee says. The group all run up to where Mai and Serenity are. "Go Joey you can do this", Yugi cheers. "Yeah go for it man" Tristan yells encouragingly. "Yah Joey" Serenity calls out to her big brother. Joey turns around and smiles, "thanks guys" he says gratefully. Yugi then walks up to him. "Hey Joey you know if it gets too much I am here okay?" he reassures. "Yeah thanks Yug but ill be fine after all its only rich boy aha" Joey laughs. "See that Kaiba?" Joey yells. "See what?" Seto snarls. "The pathetic group of try hards cheering you on?" "Mock all you want Kaiba but I have friends that will always be there for me through thick and thin" Joey replies proudly. "Huh which is more than I can say for you Ritchie rich". Kaiba sneers. "Is that so?" "Well tell me this Wheeler, "how many duels have you actually defeated me in?". "Well ah" Joey stutters, trying to think of something smart to say back. "That's right" Kaiba sarcastically smiles, "None". "Funny all the times I defeated you by wasting my time duelling, you're little friends have been there cheering you on" "But by al means keep telling yourself that it helps but ill tell you now that I couldn't care less". "Oh yeah if it's such a waste of time why are you duelling me yet again?" Joey questions, feeling pretty proud of himself. Tea smirks "yeah" she says. "Mai looks over at her disgusted. "Do you and you little dancer friend have amnesia or are you really both that dense?" Seto snarls back making an obvious dig at Tea who he knew did not get along with Mai. Tea looks at the ground and mutters something to her.

"In case you haven't already realised, we are both fighting for Mai although I doubt it will be much of a fight considering I always defeat you" Seto yawns. Mai smirks and holds in a laugh, she liked Seto's dry sense of humour. Maybe that was what attracted her to him in the first place. The group look over at Mai suspiciously. She looks the other way. "What?" she asks innocently (well trying to be, not that Kujuka Mai came across very innocent anyway). "Huh well who was there for her when she was in a coma?" Joey asks rudely. "Oh not you off course Mr Kaiba you were too busy with your own stupid duelling to focus on anyone else". Seto just rolls his eyes and looks up into the sky which starts to turn a grey color. "Look Wheeler I don't want to be duelling you when I could be back at home attending to more important matters" Seto says looking over at Mai. Mai blushes and looks away. "Well Mai certainly won't be with you because I am going to win" Joey says proudly. "Puh you really think she will look at you either way?" Seto asks snarling. "Oh and what is that supposed to mean?" Joey replies annoyed. "Figure it out Chump" "No girl in there right mind would look at you". "Hey stop it you two" Yugi warns. Mai was quite surprised to hear that although she knew how much those two despised each other. Mokuba tugs on his older brother's long trench coat. "Hey big bro the duel was meant to start ten minutes ago" he reminds Seto quietly. In rage Joey then throws his duel deck on the floor and holds out his fists. "Alright I have had enough of you for good, how about we settle this outside?" Joey suggests looking really mad. Mokuba laughs at Joey's pathetic attempt to look fierce. Tristan and Duke cover there eyes embarrassed. "No don't" Serenity cries. "Oh you wouldn't want to hurt Serenity now would you?" Seto asks in a patronising voice. "Hey leave her out of this" Joey yells back, defending his sister. Mai agrees. She thought it was funny to start with but she does not want Serenity dragged in to this because of those two's unwillingness to get along. "Can you two please start already?" Mai calls out. Seto nods. Joey turns to face Mai. "Just a sec I wanna smash him first babe" he says hoping to impress her. "No" she screams at the top of her lungs. Everyone goes silent. "No one is smashing anyone" "that's not what we agreed". "I know you like to think you are a big tough man Wheeler but lets try to settle this the mature way if that's alright with you" Seto grins completely provoking Wheeler. "Ahh" Joey yells. "Ha you wanna know something Kaiba?" "Even if I don't win I will still get Mai". Seto's eyes widen and Mai's expression turns from worried to furious. She stomps in her boots up to Joey and spins him around. "What did you just say?" she asks in a low voice. "I just said that…" Joey can't quite finish his sentence when Mai interrupts him. "I have had it", she throws her hands in the air and storms off inside. "Call me when it's over" she says walking into her room. "Oh well at least she will be out of the way" Tea jokes. Mai stops and walks up to her. Tea looks nervous but tries to remain calm. Tristan and Duke pull her back. "Don't do anything silly Mai" Yugi says. Mai pulls away and Yugi walks in to the blimp with her. "She's not worth it anyway" Mai says coldly.

"I take it the duel is still on then?" the referee asks Kaiba. Seto ignores him and walks into the blimp to follow Mai. He is suddenly stopped by Tea and the rest of the group. "Get out of my way" he orders. "Hey if he's going in so am I" Joey says following him. Tea and Bakura block the door. "None of you are going anywhere" "Tea says sternly. "This stupid feud has gone far enough". "The only way you two are going to settle your differences is to duel and once you do you can stop the arguing and we can all go home" Bakura says rationally. Seto rolls his eyes and walks back. (In his mind it would be the weaker option not to duel Joey) "Alright fine" Joey groans. "Mai will stay inside until it is over and if this mess has to carry on tomorrow and the day after then so be it" Bakura adds, ushering the two opponents back in to the field. "Why would anyone want to choose out of those two?" Bakura whispers to himself. Serenity looks ashamed for her brother. "I can't watch this depressing duel" she says going inside. Tristan and Duke go to follow when Tea stops them. "You think I am that dumb?" she asks jokingly. "Please one fight over a girl per tournament okay?" she laughs. "Anyway it's all Mai's fault" Tea adds moving away from the door. "Huh and I thought only Joey and Kaiba fought" Bakura says confused. "You have no idea" Tristan and Duke both say.

Meanwhile inside the blimp: Mai sits in her room with Yugi and Serenity. "I didn't think this duel would get so out of hand" she says sadly. "Well the two duellists out there do not take defeat lightly I should know I've battled them enough times" Yugi replies. Serenity sits by Mai and comforts her. "It's not your fault Mai" "there the ones acting stupid" she says. "Then why do I feel so guilty?" she asks. "Probably because the duel is for you but that does not mean you are to blame, it was not your idea" Yugi replies. "How can I do it so I don't hurt one of them?" she asks clutching her purple satin pillow. "By letting them duel, it's the fairest thing to do now Mai" Yugi says. "He's right, Serenity adds. "For them it is fair even if it doesn't seem fair to you". "I guess you are right" Mai sighs. "Mai" Serenity says. "I will still like you no matter who wins". Mai smiles and hugs Serenity. "Thanks you two" she gratefully smiles. "I feel that you are the only two out there who don't think I am an evil bitch" she smirks. "Hey Tristan and Duke don't think that" Yugi reassures. "No they just think you're feisty which is good it means they think you're hot or at least that's what they said" Serenity tries to explain. Mai giggles. "There are two guys out there who definitely do not think negatively about you" Yugi adds knowingly.

Speaking of Joey and Seto: The duel is about to finally take place and Seto and Jounuchi could'nt be more ready and willing to get this over with. "It's already 9:00pm" Tea says on the cold night. "How long will this take?" "That is anyone's guess" Bakura replies. "We could always pause it and continue it tomorrow morning when everyone is rested" Tristan suggests. "What like a video game?" Duke asks smartly. Tristan hits him over the head. "Well it seems that we may have too if they don't hurry up" tea replies folding her arms in the bitter cold.

"Well remember the rule though" Duke adds. "What rules?" Tristan asks. "Mai cannot kiss or do anything with either opponents while the duel is on" Duke Replies. "What's the other rule?" Bakura asks. "She has to hook up with us" Duke laughs. Tristan agrees and chuckles. Tea rolls her eyes and the four of them stand there and wait for the duel to begin……

Okay I hope you liked that chapter, sorry it was a bit long winded but I had to incorporate everything in.

Oh and in this story the blimp does NOT blow up, it would have done so by now anyway.

The next chapter is on its way

Thanks for reading
