Mai's Love, Joey's 24 Hours

By Jabber-Nut Foxypants

Nut: Hello! Peeps!

Spring-Bomb: She has decided to keep this a Joey/Mai pairing!

Dark-Ego: Sorry people who wanted the Valon/Mai pairing…

Semi-Somethin': But there is a new story coming that's called Triangle that The Nut is typing that deals with the love triangle pairing of Valon/Mai/Joey pairing.

Shawlynn: So read that one if you like the Valon/Mai/Joey pairing.

Sugar-Jak: Or the Valon/Mai since that's a pairing too…

Nut: I love Valon… (Drools) But someone has to do the disclaimer!

All except Nut: (Gulp)

Nut: Oh Shawlynn… (Pulls out frying pan)

Shawlynn: Oh no! No way!

(5 minutes later)

Shawlynn: The… Nut… doesn't… own… it… X.x

Nut: Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Hour 2

Mai sat on the turquoise seating in the highly expensive helicopter with Kaiba's exclusive label on both sides. She had both her legs and arms crossed trying to hide her feelings toward Joey. Her eyes would give her away to anyone else, but the two she was riding with could never tell the difference between her tough girl pose and her about to burst out crying body language.

Except for the long haired shrimp that noticed how sad she was the moment she got on the helicopter and started taking care of blondey.

"It's okay Mai." he said with a cheerful voice. "My brother has hired the most experienced surgeons in the world. They'll heal Joey in a snap!" Mokaba hop turned to his brother who had his pride so far up in the clouds he didn't hear a thing. "Right bro?"

"Huh? Yeah, sure, whatever. As long as you two love birds leave my sight afterwards." he commanded not turning his egotistic head away from the oval window.

"You…!" Mai was about to cuss him out, once again, but was stopped a sudden stir from Joey. "Joey?"

Joey slowly opened his eyes only to look upon blurry figures in his environment. "Mai?" he asked looking around and moving his free hand around like a blind person.

Mai gently gripped his hand so not to startle him and brushed his messed up bangs out of his eyes. "Yes, Joey?"

"I won right?" he asked with a cheesy smile.

"Huh?"

"The duel, I won." His smile faded as he turned his head toward Mai. "But she shot me… that's why I feel all this pain in my side. It wasn't from winning a duel and having a serious case of butterflies after. Was it?"

"Yes, you did win Joey and she did shoot you, but we're on our way to the Kaiba Corp. where the best doctors around the world help people like you." She said with relief that Joey could still put a little humor in her day.

"Yeah? They can help me?" He turned his head back so he was staring at the ceiling. "Mai, it hurts."

"I know Joey…"

"Please, will you two suck it up!" shouted Kaiba at the top of his lungs. "I did not agree to take him to the hospital so I could listen to his stupid hallucinations and your goopy love talk! I only said I would because it's so much fun just to crush him in a duel, and that's about all…"

"Listen here Kaiba!" Joey said in a serious but still weak tone. "Once this is over, I challenge you to a duel. The loser never plays against that person again. Deal?"

"You're on Wheeler. I can't wait to see you cry and go screaming to Yugi to save your butt once again." He said with a death glare in his eyes.

"Not this time. Yugi will stay out of this one."

"Such brave words for a little puppy dog!"

"Knock it off, both of you!" shouted Mai squeezing the blonde's hand.

An awkward silence hit the room as the three boys stared at the woman with flames of anger and passion in her eyes.

"Whatever." Kaiba broke the silence and looked out the window once again.

"Way to go Mai." congratulated Mokaba walking to Joey's side. "Hang in there Joey. We're almost there."

"Thanks Mokaba." Joey tilted his head to the side again and closed his eyes, not really going back to sleep but letting his heavy eye lids fall.

"Kaiba sir!" yelled the pilot of the helicopter.

"What is it?" he asked voice hard like brick wall.

"An 3 unidentified helicopters have just surrounded us!"

"What!" Kaiba got up and ran to the 2nd pilot seat and putting on radio ear muffs. "This is Seto Kaiba connecting to the three other copters please respond!"

"Why hello there Kaiba." said an Australian accent.

"Long time, no see. Ay Kaiba?" said other voice.

"Raphael speaking. How can I be of service?" he said laughing with the other two.
