"What?" She asked.

"What time is it?" He asked, trying to get away from what she was wondering.

"It's 9:49, why?" She questioned.

"Come follow me!" Bakura exclaimed and ran off.

"O-okay..." She followed, "Where exactly are you taking me? Huh?"

"Less talking more running!" Bakura yelled back.

Then Mai got tired of wondering what was going on and stopped.

Bakura waited a while and turned around, "I do not mean to be any bother to you but will you please follow, or do I have to haul you?"

"Go ahead, see how far you can go without me bashing you over your skull sometime soon," Mai replied and pouted.

Bakura began to take her arm and he dragged her to the room.

"Okay, we are here! Now close your eyes so I can open this door." Bakura said.

"No," Mai replied again.

"Fine," Then Bakura counted to three in his head and opened the door, "I hope you are ready..."

He flickered on the lights, and there was furniture everywhere in the colors of purple, black and white.

"Huh? I do not understand..." Mai began.

"Surprise!" Everyone yelled out, "Happy Birthday Mai!"

"Today is my anniversary!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, November 24th!" Jonouchi said handing her his gift.

"Jonouchi...what is it?" She said looking at him straight in the eyes laying the gift down slowly.

"Uh...I do not know!" He replied.

Mai paused for a second, "What do you mean, you don't know?"

"I cannot remember! I do not keep count on everything you know!" Jonouchi yelled.

"Well, how do I know that it is not something harmful!" She exclaimed.

"Because...you know me...we are friends remember?" Jonouchi sighed.

"Um...about that Jonouchi...I thought that..." Mai said.

"Hey! Party games before presents!" Anzu exclaimed.

Seto was sitting down and blowing on his party favor, "Hooray...damn it, Mokuba."

"What was that Seto?" Mokuba said smiling happily playing the games.

"Nothing, you just...play." He replied.

'I wonder if I will ever be able to finish telling Jonouchi what I feel' Mai thought and sighed, 'Oh well, I will probably be leaving this place tomorrow anyways. It was nice being with these people.'

"Come on Mai!" Anzu called, "We are watching Jonouchi and Honda play Mahjongg!"

Mai walked over and watched each player. Although she was never really able to say anything to him she knew it would sooner or later happen.

0o0I wonder what Mai has been thinking since we left her.0o0

XxWell, I am guessing that she does not remember. She is too happy with the party.xX

0o0Yeah, do you want to take over and play?0o0

XxNo thanks, Yugi. Parties are not what I live for. Games are; but parties are not.xX

0o0Whatever you say!0o0

"Hey Yugi! Your up to play now!" Bakura said.

"Cool! My turn!" Yugi exclaimed and sat down.

"Hey Bakura! You are cheating!" Mai exclaimed.

"Really? I have not played this game in I while I would not really remember all the moves, you do know." Bakura said.

"Ha, that's funny." Jonouchi laughed.

"Well, I wouldn't be saying so Mai. I could have won if he made that move!" Yugi giggled.

"That's not nice Yugi!" Anzu joked.

"Jonouchi?" Mai whispered she was showing the hand sign for him to come over near her.

He followed her into the outside.

"Jonouchi, I...what I was going to say before was that...that..." Mai stuttered.

"It is okay Mai. I know what you mean." He smiled.

"That is great because now I get to put your hair in pig-tails!" She exclaimed.

"What? Now way!" He froze.

Mai laughed, "No, I did not mean that. But, I would like to say it my self. Jonouchi, I...!"

"Mai!" Jonouchi exclaimed, "Get back here with Mai, you!"

It was someone in black. Jonouchi decided to go inside and inform everyone.

"Mai's gone! We have to save her!" He cried.

"You are not serious, are you?" Honda began.

"We better go get her!" Mokuba exclaimed.

"Mokuba, you stay here." Seto said putting his arm on his brothers' shoulder.

"But you said we could go to the party!" Mokuba whined.

"Well, the party is over. We are going back to our rented apartment!" Seto dragged his troublesome brother along.

"But I do not want to go!" He cried disappearing from the room.

"I will stay up and clean the place so the janitors does not think we are pigs." Bakura smiled.

"Yeah, thanks Bakura," Anzu said then ran off with the others.

Everyone was outside. They were waiting for Jonouchi to say something.
