Chapter 2: Mahhado, the mall, and watching the game shop

" Hi Mahhado da name is Jounochi Katsuya, but Jou is just fine"

"My name is Honda Hiroto."

"Nice to meet you Mahhado, my name is Misaki Anzu .

"It's a pleasure to meet you all too"

"I know the perfect place for you to find clothing, just follow us."

"Ok…"

When they got to the specified shop, Mahhado raised his eye-brows.

"I look 21, not 16."

"Aww, come on, its not that bad!"

Mahhado gave in,besides, he needed clothes and his masters' friends were kind enough to help him.

About an hour later, Jou shoved Mahhado in the dressing room with a pile of clothes. Mahhado refused to come out of the room though.

"You are not making me wear this!"

"Just let us see you in it."

"No!"

"Come on, it can't be that bad."

Mahhado reluctantly came out of the room. He was dressed in dark purple leather pants(kind of like Yami's), a lighter purple short sleeved semi- tight shirt, a lopsided belt went around his waist, and a semi-long green coat that matched his staff. He also had on back leather shoes.

"Wow."

"I'll get trampled by women."

"You look great!"

"My point exactly."

"It doesn't matter. Now let's pay for the clothes."

"I can pay myself."

"How?"

"Magic. I'm a magician for a reason."

"Oh."

After they were done shopping, Yami was outside to greet them.

"I take it that you guys had fun playing dress-up with Mahhado?" Yami asked while casting an amused look at the glaring magician.

"Ehehe, we thought he looked good in those clothes."

"Like I said, I look 21, not 16!"

Suddenly a group of fan girls crowded around Mahhado and started flirting with him.

"Oh my gosh! You're so handsome!"

"Can I have your phone number?"

"What is that green thing you're holding?"

Mahhado just about had enough. If these annoying women did not stop flirting with him he was going to send them so deep into the shadow realm that even the pharaoh would not be able to bring them back.

Yami most likely noticed that his most faithful priest and card was about to lose it so he decided to help.

"Hey girls! I just saw Seto Kaiba turn into that corner!"

All the girls immediately ran into that corner screaming "Kaiba-sama!"

Mahhado sighed in relief. Thank Ra that the pharaoh was here to save him.

"Thank you, my pharaoh."

"No need for formalities, just call me Yami. Anyway Yugi wants to meet you." There was a flash and crimson eyes became violet.

"Onegai-shimasu, Mahhado-kun. I'm Yugi. Yami says you are a really nice person."

"Thank you."

"You need someplace to live though. I'll tell grandpa that you need a room."

"That would be nice."

With that said, Yugi took Mahhado's hand lead him to the game shop.

"I see you're back Yugi. Who's this young man you are with?"

"This my Dark Magician, his name is Mahhado."

"He's your Dark Magician?"

"Yes, and he needs a room to stay in so can we give him the guest room?"

"Sure."

"Thanks grandpa."

"Are you sure I'm not a bother?"

"Its ok, Mahhado-kun, it gets lonely without anyone at the game shop; plus you can help me with the customers."

"If you are sure…"

"Sure I'm sure, now come on, I'll show you around the shop so you can help me."

"Ok."

Yugi showed everything possible in the shop: how to use and answer the phone, where each thing belonged, how to greet the costumers etc..

"Yugi, I'm going out for a bit. Can you run an errand for me? You can close the shop for a bit."

"Sure thing grandpa."

Yugi heard the door close and decided that it was time to put Mahhado's store-running abilities to the test.

"Mahhado-kun!"

"Hai?"

"Can you watch the game shop until grandpa comes back? I need to run an errand and Yami needs to get back to Kaiba Corp."

"Of course I can Yugi-sama, I serve you and the pharaoh."

"Thank you so much!" and proceeded to hug Mahhado so tightly he felt that his life was going to be squeezed out.

"You're welcome." Mahhado managed to say.

When Yugi finally let go, Mahhado felt a wave of air go into his lungs.

"Bye, see you in a few hours, Mahhado-kun!" Yugi yelled as he ran out the door.

'I better watch the shop then.' Mahhado thought as he went behind the counter. He kept his staff out just incase something were to happen.

Suddenly a customer came in.

"Hello, welcome to the Kame Game Shop. How may I help you?" Yugi had made him memorize these lines.

"Strange. I didn't know that Solomon hired anyone to work here."

"I one of Yugi-sa-kun's friends. I'm just watching the shop while they are gone."

"I see. Which duel monster starter deck would you recommend?"

"It depends on one personality sir." Mahhado replied with wisdom "beyond his years".

"What would you recommend to my eight-year old son; he's just started to learn how to play."

"What is personality?" 'I should make sure what the boy is fond of before I chose a deck for him' Mahhado thought.

"Well, he is a very shy boy that usually stays out of rough games. He likes to read fantasy novels and is very fond things to do with magic."

"That makes things a lot easier. I recommend a spell-castor or fairy/angel deck." Mahhado said as he pulled out two different starter decks.

"You seem to know a lot about duel monsters."

'That's probably because I am one' he thought. "I'm rather quite fond of this game."

After the customer left, the shop was pretty much silent except for a few customers know and then. The door opened a few moments later.

"I'm home Yug-ahh!"

"I'm sorry, did I scare you Mr. Mutou?"

"No, I just over-reacted; by the way where's Yugi?"

"Yugi-sama is still working at Kaiba Corp. He left his office phone number on the giant ice box thing."

"It's a refrigerator but never mind. Can you call Yugi and tell him not to work too late? I don't want Yugi to become a workaholic."

"Ok."

Mahhado picked up the phone and dialed Yugi's phone number.

"Hello, Yami Mutou's office."
