Disclaimer: I don't own Yu gi oh or any concepts or names that you recognize. Although I do own some of my own ideas and OCs.

Anyways R/R and also I will have more information for my story, like character bios and stuff on my other website. It won't be anything you have to know to understand the story but it gives some spoilers and detailed info that you might want to know. Also Kaiba and some of the others are very OOC, but it all fits in somehow.

Last time: The duo met up with Rex, who was having hard times with a few gang members. After taking care of them, he joined up with the group. Not to long later, they got themselves caught up in trouble again. This is trying to defend an innocent woman from Devlin's accusations. Turns out Joey knew she was following them all along. So who is she? And what is she after?

Chapter 6: On the Run…From a complete imbecile

Devlin grinned, "Well then. That does change everything. Arrest them to!" The three of them blinked. "Why?" asked Yugi. He chuckled, "Well evidently you're her accomplices." "Wait, let's talk about this." Joey said. The blonde girl yelled at them, "You idiot! This is your fault!"

So Yugi and Joey found themselves sitting in a jail cell, along with one extremely unhappy female. Who was also presently ignoring them.

Yugi, "This is not what I was looking forward to when I woke up this morning." For once, just for one time, couldn't trouble not find us?

Joey shrugged, "Well we're here now. Better make the most of it."

Yugi nodded, "At least Rex got away. Maybe he can get us out of here."

Joey turned to the extremely unhappy female who had finally stopped glaring at him, "So, uh, who are you anyway?"

She looked away in annoyance.

He sighed, "Look, we're all in here together already. At least tell us something."

Finally she sighed. As much as she didn't want to admit it, he was right. "Fine. My name's Mai." She sat back with her arms folded.

Yugi smiled, "Well I'm-"

"I know who you are." she replied without looking at him.

Joey nodded, "Yeah, I guess you would. So, uh, why were you following us anyways?"

"I was bored. And you were both so pathetic I thought it might be interesting."

He grinned, "And was it?"

"Yeah, I guess I have to say it was. But this is not what I meant at all. I could have gotten out of that myself. I didn't need your help. It's your big mouth that got us into this."

"She's right, Joey. We did kinda walk into it."

Joey sighed, "Alright, I get it. I messed up. So what's next? I mean we got to eventually get out of here. Why don't you come with us? Since you were already following us and all."

She rolled her eyes, "I don't need any friends. I've done just fine on my own. Besides I was about to give up on you anyway. I didn't see anything worth it."

Yugi sighed, "Well. Hopefully we'll find a way out of this. Without getting into more trouble anyways." All three sighed.

Mai looked at them. I can't believe this. First I lose them, then they knew I was following them. And now this. What next?

A little bit later the door opened. "Uh, whose there?" Joey asked waking up, "Is it breakfast time? I'm starving."

Mai blinked. "Is food all this guy ever thinks about?"

Yugi sighed, "Unfortunately yeah."

The man who opened the door was an officer. He looked at the three of them and sighed, "Wait, let me guess. Devlin did this? That guy is a mockery of this force. Unfortunately I can't really do anything about this. But I'll try to figure something out." He looked over behind him, "Actually I think I can help you, but with a price."

"What kind of price?" Mai glared at his suspiciously.

"Well it's got to look like you've all escaped. There's no other way. Unfortunately Devlin won't ever forget and he'll be hunting you all down, along with everyone else that's ever escaped him. But I don't think you really need to worry to much about him."

Yugi sighed, "If that's the only way…"

Joey jumped up, "Heh, we can deal with it."

Mai yelled at him, "Speak for yourself, you idiot! Do you really want him chasing you down and never giving up?"

Joey, "Hey at least we'll be out of here. We'll worry about that later."

The officer grinned, "Fine, hurry. We won't tell him, but you know he'll figure it out eventually."

Mai rolled her eyes, "I think I'd rather stay here and figure this out myself. I can get out of this easily without help."

Joey pulled her out, "I really don't think you want to deal with Devlin yourself when he finds out we're gone."

Mai growled. Grrr. He's right again.

So, once they were out, Yugi was looking for Rex, "I can't find him anywhere."

Joey grinned, "I'm sure he'll show up. He's hiding from Devlin to remember."

Mai rolled her eyes and walked away, "Bye."

"Mai, wait." Yugi called out.

She stopped and looked back.

He smiled, "C'mon why don't you come with us? We're gonna need all the help we can get."

Joey, "It'll be fun!"

She stared at him, "Somehow I doubt it." She looked back at Yugi.

He looked up at her, "If you have nowhere to go. Right now it's just me and Joey, if we don't find Rex. We could really use some more company."

She sighed. I know I'm going to regret this dearly. "Fine, alright. For now I guess I can. But it won't be long. Only until I found something else to do."

Yugi smiled, "That's fine."

Joey flashed a big idiotic grin, "Good, now that that's settled. Let's get goin'! We need to get as far from Devlin as we can."

Yugi laughed, "Yeah that's true." he ran after him.

She sighed and followed, "I'm already regretting this."

A/N: Well whaddya think? Hate it? Like it? Need to know more?

Next Time: What happens when Devlin finds out they escaped? How will he take it? And will they ever find Rex? Where could he have gone? And with someone else on the team, will it help them out or get them in more trouble?
