Back to square one

With Joey and Tea still surrounded in the street by Mai and the three goths, the pressure was on. Both Joey and Tea had very confused and scared expressions in their eyes.

"Tea?" Mai asked. "Do you still love me?"

Tea was too worried to say anything

"Joey?" Mai looked at him. "Do you still love me?"

Joey looked at her with an angry yet confused expression.

"Mai, please." Joey said. "This isn't the answer."

"Joey, it has to been done. One way or another, we have to make things right. Someone has to get what's coming to them!" Mai said.

"Mai it's not worth it" Tea cried out to her.

Joey looked at Tea. Tea didn't deserve to be treated like this. Joey was angry at Mai, but he still couldn't help but remember all the time they had together…. All the days at Duelist Kingdom, at Battle City, saving each others' lives from Marik and Dartz.

All Tea could think about was how Mai treated her. She'll never go back to Mai, after everything Tea's been through with Joey.

"Tea, Joey? I'm waiting" Mai said.

"You're insane" Tea told her. "You're crazy!"

"I only want what's right Tea!" Mai yelled. "You of all people should know about right and wrong."

Finally Joey lifted his head up.

"Alright Mai" Joey said. "Game over. You win."

"What?" Tea said.

"Huh?" Mai looked at Joey surprised.

"I know it's hard Mai" Joey said "but you and I have been through so much more. We've seen everything together. We've done everything together. We've been in worse situations than this Mai!"

"Joey?" Tea looked at him in surprise.

"Maybe they're right what everyone says about us….. that we're soul mates. That we're meant for each other Mai."

"Joey what are you saying?" Tea yelled.

Joey sighed.

"Tea, I wish I knew how to say this" Joey turned his head to her. "but I'm sorry."

Tea looked at Joey with a shocked saddened face. Slowly she could feel the distance between them widen.

"I'm sorry I ever got you involved in this." Joey told Tea. "You deserve much better."

Mai couldn't believe it either.

"Joey no." Tea cried. "After everything we've been through together. Don't let this happen! Please!" she begged.

"I love you Tea. And I always will love you…… as a friend. But now I realize, it would've never worked out." Joey turned his head away again in shame in sorrow. "And for that, I'm so sorry."

Finally, Joey walked away towards Mai, who offered him a hug. She to felt like crying.

"I'm sorry to Joey". Mai said, and finally smiled at him.

Tea couldn't believe it. She was ready to cry.

And that's when Sam, Amber and Lynn walked up to Tea.

"Well, I guess it's over, and you're coming with us!" Sam said.

Tea gasped.

"No!" she jumped up and tried to run away, but Sam grabbed her. Immediately, Amber and Lynn grabber her to. They wrestled her down and picked her up by her arms and feet.

"Joey?" Tea screamed one last time. And Sam put her hand around her mouth. Tea struggled and tried to shout for help as they carried her back to their car.

"Mai, don't!" Joey said. "Let them let her go."

"It's for the best." Mai told him.

Joey finally nodded. "Okay then, if you say so"

Joey Mai got into the convertible. Joey felt horrible. He never wanted it to end like this. He should've never put Tea in this position. But Joey realized, despite how Mai has treated him, despite her acting selfish, despite her overloading wild sexual demands, Mai always loved him. And Joey always loved her. Always has and always will.

Tea cried in complete and utter fear and grief, as Sam, Amber and Lynn tied and gagged her up and put her in their car, doomed to a life of torture as their prisoner.

"You're all ours now!" Sam said looking at her.

They drove away with Tea as Mai and Joey drove off the opposite direction.

And finally that night, Joey and Mai were back home, back together again, back to square one.

"I love you Joey" Mai whispered. "Do you love me?"

"Yes" Joey said. "I love you."

"Say it louder" Mai ordered. She twisted his nipples as Joey squirmed.

Mai had Joey stripped naked and chained to the bed. Just like that first night of the tournament. There was no way out for Joey, and Mai made sure of it. She had looked around for any safety features, any keys, and metal pins, anything Joey could free himself with, and got rid of them. It was gonna take long time for Mai to decide when to let Joey go this time.

"I love you" Joey said louder.

Mai smiled and threw her hair back in excitement. "Louder!" she twisted harder.

"I love you."

Mai jumped up and down on Joey on his crouch making Joey have sex with her. Joey had a lot f paying up to do for everything he did to Mai. And Mai was gonna make him pay up for every second of it, and is gonna make sure Joey likes it, whether he wants to or not. Joey knew he was right where he belonged….. with Mai. Never again would Mai let Joey get away. Never again would Joey be free from his balls of chain of love with Mai. And at the same time Joey was happy. Mai knew what was best for them, and Joey loved it. Joey and Mai were together forever, whether he likes it or not.

THE END
