Hi!! This is my Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic. This fic is a Mai/Joey pairing. There might be some OOCness and the results of the Battle City Finals are pure speculation. I have it so that Mai loses to Joey, and he takes care of her after her attempted suicide. Hope you enjoy!!

Thanks everyone, and I'm so sorry it has been forever. I was really busy getting my GED, and taking my college entrance exams. Yep, I'm 16 and a freshman in college.
Run, running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side
Me, I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
And I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up, let's keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
Running, running as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
Be, be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up
Running, running as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
Running as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
The future…
Running, running as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
Running as fast as we can
I really hope we make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated
"Running" No Doubt
Basking in the afterglow like a happy lizard, Joey Wheeler reached out and curled one long blonde curl around his finger. God, he loved her so much. She made his life worth living. That night, after their passion had been temporarily sated, Mai had confessed everything that had been going through her mind when she tried to kill herself. He was ashamed of himself, that he had the power to make her feel so horribly about herself. He swore to Mai then and there that he would do everything in his power to make the rest of her life the happiest he could. They had confessed all their fears to one another, and for that reason, he trusted Mai completely. Joey could never stop loving Mai, after all that they had shared.
Mai felt the slight, gentle tugging on her hair and smiled. Joey had confessed that he loved playing with her hair, and he had kept a section close to hand all through the night. Joey was a considerate, gentle lover, despite his incessant passion. She loved him, and she would never let him go. Tea truly loved Yugi, and if it meant peace for Joey, Mai would play matchmaker.
"Mmm, Joey…that tickles…" Mai giggled, Joey was tickling her neck with his lips. How wonderful it felt…
Tea herself was thinking about Yugi. She had loved Yami, but the Pharaoh was so far out of her league that she had given up hope. Yugi still adored her, but he was too good for someone like her. She wanted someone to hold at night, but when she looked around, there was never anyone worth it. What would it take for someone to love her? How could she stop loving Yugi?
Could Yugi stop loving her after all this was said and done?
Tea remembered how she had sworn vengeance on Joey. She had found the perfect way, and killed two pests with the same swatter. How dare Joey care more for that whore Mai than his friends? He would pay. Joey had been spending too much time with Mai, and not enough time with his friends, was the gist of Tea's suicide note. He didn't care about her anymore, just Mai. So, to that end, Mai picked up the knife and held it to her wrist. She wouldn't be alone anymore, and she wouldn't hurt ever again.
Steeling her resolve, Tea pressed the knife down and pulled it across the soft, thin skin over her veins. Tea hissed in pain as the blade slid through her veins, spilling her blood into the bathtub of hot water she lay in. Slowly, quietly, Tea fell asleep, the water around her forever crimson with that one act she could never take back.
