ALL YOU WANTED
CHAPTER NINE
"CAN WE MAKE IT?"
HELLO
WOWNESS A NEW CHAPTER IS FINALLY UP, SORRY I TOOK SO LONG, A LOT HAS BEEN HAPPENING BUT HERE IT IS….
DONT LIKE? DONT READ, DONT CARE
Where we left off: Mai was in one of the rooms in the kingdom recovering from the duel, when Valon walked in, woke her up and professed his love (lust more like) towards her...Joey/amelda and pegasus have been taken, there souls now belong to dartz who only the keepers of the dragons (Kaiba and Yami) can duel against.
Before Seto goes to duel reluctantly offcourse, he makes a quick visit to the room where mai is...
A tired and confused Mai valentine, takes in a deep breath and sighs to herself. Her she is again, in a mess and alone. It wasnt her fault the joey and valon liked her and wanted to be with her..it was her fault howeveer that her and Amelda had slept together and that she had came on to seto...
Thoughts of the CEO swirled around in her mind. Did she want him? does he want her?
All of a sudden mai a loud banging on the door..
"Mokuba?" She says, a little curious to why the little brother of her flame is here.
Mokuba scratches the back of his head uneasily.
"I was uh well.." "Are you okay mai?" the dark haired boy asks.
Mai observes the young boy...before answering "Yeah im okay"
"Good" Replies the young kaiba brother.
"Well thats not the only reason im here you know?" Mokuba adds.
Mai folds her arms and looks at mokuba like a school teacher who knew there student was up to something would.
"Oh really?" "this wouldent happen to be about seto would it?" she asks with a slight grin.
Secretley she hopes that it is, and she dosent even know why!
Mokuba sheepishly looks at the carpeted floor.
"Well.." he hesiatates
"Yeah it kinda is"
Mai narrows her eyes and listens to what M kaiba is about to say.
"dont tell him i said this" He cautions.
"Um okay?" Mai shrugs.
"Its just" "i think you and seto are well...good together" "and i uh well its that ive never really seen seto happy with anyone since he was little"
Mai raised her eye brows in surprise. "Well i know im hard to forget.. but wow" she thinks.
"My brother may seem cold and uptight all the time" "the truth is, he just wants somebody who cares" "And i think you do care"
Mai is shocked. "For a twelve year old this kid is perceptive" she says to herself.
The blonde knows that Seto deep down had to be like the rest of them, he needed someone to care for him...she did aswell but would she be able to admit it?
Just then Seto slides into the room where Mokuba and Mai are talking.
Mokuba looks up at his brother then at mai..
"what are you doing in here?" Seto questions.
His little brother is quick to change the subject.
"Uh I'm going to find yugi and the others", with that he runs outside...leaving the two alone!
the feeling in the room between Seto and Mai is interesting.
Noone got Seto the way that mai did, and mai has never really thought of anyone this much before...Joey, Valon, even Amelda were not as hard as Seto was and they were all alot more willing to be with her (well maybe amelda was pretty nuts but still passionate)
Maybe thats why she liked Mr Kaiba so much, because he kept her guessing and wanting more.
Mai observed the handsome CEO up and down.
His clothes fit him perfectly and his brown hair was so beautifully placed on his head. She loved how is blue eyes were so deep, a story could be told just by looking into them if he let anyone tell it.
Seto then observed Mai. Her hair was glowing in the light of the room, the curls fell into place when she tilted her head. HEr eyes were that of an amethyst and every movement of her tight clothes made seto tingle...
After a long silence, seto finally spoke.
"Mai I dont know what My little brother told you"...
Mai moves into his space and presses her finger onto his lips.
"Shh" She whispers, completely aware that the attraction she is showing could be rejected..
"I uh i'm.." Seto tries to apologize but the smell of mai's perfume against him is so strong.
"Im sorry too" She whispers into his ear.
Seto breaths a sigh of relief and cups his hands around her face.
Mai lifts her lips towards his and they kiss. Seto moves his arms around her body and mai gets her hands tangled in his hair...
"Ready to go home?" Mai asks stroking the left side of his face.
Seto forgets what he is here for and nodds his head.
Who would have thought a woman could have such power over him?
Tea comes barging in panting, with Serenity, Duke and Tristan close behind.
"There you are" She says in a fluster, her face is red and beads of sweat are dripping down her forehead.
Mai loosens her grasp on Kaiba. Tristan and Duke look at the tw suspiciously and Serenity smiles.
"I knew it" Tea scowls.
Seto wants to ring Tea around the neck.
"How dare you come in here and accuse" He yells
"Get lost".
Mai looks at the four friends sharply.
Serenity runs up to Mai and grabs her arm. "We need seto to duel with yugi" she informs.
"Again" Seto adds knowing that this moment was approaching.
"Raphael was defeated too" Tea says fearful that her love yugi will go too.
"So?" Mai sneers. She didnt have that much time for the blonde haired ego duelist and neither did Seto.
Seto looks over at Mai.
His desire to protect her is almost as strong as his deisre to look after Mokuba.
"I dont care much for Him but i dont want anything to happen to you or mokuba" he informs while heading out to the duelling arena.
The remaining gang follow kaiba outside. "Oh well its nice to know that we are cared about" Tristan says under his breath. Duke nodds and Tea just looks at them.
"Well we cant expect much from kaiba but yugi cant duel alone" Anzu replies.
Seto ignores the comments coming from the ametuer duelists and races down the stairs and along the halls until he is in a creepy looking part of the kingdom.
The walls are covered in concrete snakes, pictures of souls surround the walls.
The group gasp sadly when they see there friends and pegasus among the pictures.
"Ha so you decided to show up afterall" Dartz smirks with delight.
"Im not about to let you win and take over my company" seto warns.
Dartz observes yami who is full of anger and ready to duel. Seto places his duel deck around his arm.
"Let's duel" Kaiba announces.
Yami looks at him oddly
"But we are already duelling you insensible twit" Dartz sneers.
"May i add that Miss Valentine's pretty little friend Valon is gone" Mai gasps and seto looks in suspicion.
"Now isnt the time" Mai growls at the green haired evil man.
"Oh but i think it is my dear" He retorts.
Tristan and Duke both roll their eyes "let me guess?" "she slept with him too" Tea snarls.
Mai looks about ready to hit the brunette over the head.
"Nothing happened" Mai snaps growing more and more uncomfortable...
"Well perhaps if it did then poor Valon wouldnt be among the lost souls now would he?" Dartz sarcastically questions.
"Despite what happened its youre fault that valon and everyone else is gone"
Yami thinks of Weevi and Rex who thought they had a chance against dartz..then of joey his closest friend and offcourse the misguided Raphael, Amelda and Valon who just wanted acceptance but ultimatley ended up in perrel.
"You dont care about them" Dartz cooly replies. "you want youre precious little other half back"
Tea's eyes well up when she thinks of poor little yugi, trapped and alone...another lost soul!
Yugi clenches his fists in rage and pulls out his next card.
Seto is just pleased that Mokuba is not in the shadow realm.
Mai runs up to seto and grabs his hand.
"Valon asked me to be with him before he battled dartz" she quietly says.
Seto remains cold and attentive.
"I said no to him and thats why he ran off, he wanted to prove himself"
Before seto could even answer Dartz has destroyed one of Yami's cards.
"Well well well its your turn mr kaiba"...
