Chapter 2: Mai's Story

(a/n: thanks for the reviews! One of my reviewers said it wasn't a murder...it was an attack...but I think "murder" sounds cooler, doesn't it? LOL thanks again!)

Yugis point of view:

"Okay, we have our four suspects," I said with confidence, "now I'm going to review you one by one to see what you did that night. Starting with Mai Valentine. Follow me, Miss Valentine,"

She followed me to my bed room. I made her sit on my desk chair.

"EW! There's your underwear on your desk!" Mai screamed.

I pulled it off.

"It's just underwear, it's not going to kill ya!" I screamed out.

"Okay. Down to buisness," I continued. "Tell me what you did at ten p.m. yesterday, which was when Joey's attack happened."

"Well," Mai said, "I was in the bushes of 35th street. I had my leather knife with me..."

Mai's point of view:

Flash back

In the shadows of the night, I was walking in the bushes. I love to walk in the dark. But then, a shadow figure approched me.

"Hey, sweetheart," the man said, "wanna go out with me?"

"Get away from me, you jerk!" I shouted.

He came closer to me.

"Oh, come on!" he said, smiling. "It will be fun!"

I could tell he was drunk. He had terrible booze breathe, and he wasn't walking strait, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted. "I HAVE A KNIFE WITH ME!"

I took my knife out of my vest pocket. The blade reflected in the night.

"That's dangerous for a young girl for you to have that!" he said.

I gulped. He wasn't going to back down. He approched me, touching my shoulders. I noticed my hand was going upwards.

SLAP!

I slapped him right across the cheek.

"Ouch, that hurt," the man said, as he continued to touch me...now he was touching my hair.

I pushed him away, as I ran through the bushes.

End of Flashback

Yugi's point of view:

"So, you used your knife to defend yourself," I asked.

"Yes. I did not hurt Joey." Mai said.

"Maybe not," I said, "but, you said you ran through the bushes. That's how Joeys attack happened. Did you by accident STAB Joey with your knife in your attempt to escape?"

"well...it was dark, but I think I would have known if I hurt someone..." Mai said, thinking.

"Thanks, Miss.Valentine. Please get Ryou, now." I told her.

So...Mai could have hurt Joey by accident in her attempt to escape...but how do I know for sure? I had to review the rest of the three.
