DIZCLAIMER: Nyah-ah!
YUGI. MAI THOUGHT, MAYBE Yugi will be the best to confess to. After all, Yugi was always the most level-headed person she's ever known. Maybe….he can help.
But how can he help? Mai had no idea, but her guts were telling her that Yugi is her best choice. She couldn't tell Jonouchi, no matter how close they have gotten. There are just…certain things you can't say to your best friend.
Her violet eyes stared upon Mr. Motou's Card Game Shop. She clenched her fist, could this be really a good idea? This is Yugi after all, he's a man. What would he know about pregnancy? What would he know about her feelings?
Mai slowly started to walk away as she regretted her choice. A certain voice made her stop in her tracks…
"Mai?"
Mai stiffened, damn, she's been caught. Mai turned around and saw Yugi's grandfather, Mr. Motou standing right at the Card Shop's entrance holding a broom. He smiled warmly at her, "Ah, it is you!" he said, "How have you been?"
Mai swallowed, "Ah….g-great!" she lied, "And uh….and-and you?"
"Oh I've been great myself!" he replied cheerfully, "You know, Yugi's inside cleaning the shop, would you like to stop and say hi?"
Mai forced a smile, "Th-that's great, Mr. Motou! Th-thank you!" she bowed and went inside the game shop.
Damn….now what?
Mai glanced around the game shop…she couldn't help but to feel relieved at how much it hasn't changed.
The ordinary monster cards were kept to the right all filed in alphabetical order in a shelving rack. All the cards with special abilities were placed right next to them. On the left, spells and trap cards were placed in shelving racks too.
Duel Monsters merchandise such as posters and t-shirts were hung on the walls some in clothing shelves. There rare items, like powerful cards were always placed behind the register locked up in a glass case, where Yugi stood, smiling at her as she came in.
"Morning, Mai!" he greeted as cheerfully as his grandfather. Yugi has definitely aged for the past few years since the Other Yugi left. For one thing, he is now taller and his face no longer appeared childlike, but more masculine.
Mai waved weakly back at Yugi, "Hey Yugi!" she said.
Yugi walked over to her and said, "It's been a while, two months has it? Since Kaiba's…"
Mai cut him off, "Yeah…" she said weakly, "Since that…"
Yugi laughed, "Crazy night, huh? Kaiba sure knows how to do parties!"
Mai's corner of her mouth twitched, "Funny…" she muttered loud enough for Yugi to hear, "I could have sworn Kaiba was kicking us out when he set out his rapid bulldogs on us. The next day."
Yugi laughed again, "Yeah…" his mind now recalling the night's incident, "I wonder why he did that…"
Mai frowned, "Yugi…can…can we talk?"
It was now or never. She had to at least tell ONE guy. Surely…it might ease her mind a bit. Perhaps….by some crazy chance Yugi might know who the father of her child is….or….he could be the father himself.
Yugi studied Mai's face for a bit. He knew there was something bothering her, whatever it was it was probably serious. He nodded and said, "Sure, let's go to my room…" His eyes darted on his grandfather who was sweeping outside, "But first, let me tell Grandpa!"
Mai nodded as she watched Yugi run outside quickly and told his grandfather that's he'd be upstairs.
As soon as Yugi came back inside he said, "Let's go."
LATERS…
Yugi placed his green tea down and said rather slowly, "And…you think that I may be the father?"
Mai drank her tea; she could no longer look at Yugi anymore. She had decided to tell him everything…even the fact that she is planning to raise the kid herself. Mai wasn't expecting any ring…or marriage. All she wanted was to know who the dad is….and be on her merry way.
"I've never said that," Mai answered. Yugi nodded, "I know, but I am a suspect as well. So in the meantime, I might as well take responsibility for what I could have done." He said.
Mai ran her hand through her hair, "Seriously!" she whined, "What in the HELL happened that night? Wh-what did we do?!" she looked at Yugi hopefully. Yugi glanced up at the ceiling thoughtfully, he groaned, "Well….all I remember is talking to you…and then…"
"And then?" Mai insisted, but Yugi shook his head, "I-I don't remember…"
He looked at her shyly, "Wh-what do you remember?" he asked. Mai shook her head, "I don't remember much….just-just fragments. But I do remember seeing you and all…"
Yugi's cheeks turned a light shade of pink, "Ah," he said, "TH-that's good then- I mean, at least that's a start."
Mai narrowed her eyes, she leaned forward towards Yugi, "Yugi…" Mai said in a low stern voice, "you're not…you're not hiding anything from me, are you?"
Yugi blinked, "N-no Mai!" he gasped, "Of course NOT!"
Mai placed her hand on Yugi's, "Yugi…" she began, "If you're know anything….you'll tell me, would you?"
Yugi nodded, "Of course, Mai. You know I will." He smiled and placed his hand over hers.
LATERS…
Mai sighed for the umpteenth time as she walked out of the Game Shop. Obviously, Yugi was hiding something….which was indeed odd to say to the most honest guy in the world. Or, so she thought.
But she hoped that Yugi will help her as he promised he would. Still, Mai couldn't help but to wonder….what in the world could Yugi be hiding?
Is it possible that he knows who the father is? If he did, why isn't he telling her? Surely she has the right to know the person who impregnated her? Who's he trying to cover? Unless….unless Yugi IS the father?!
Mai shook her head, no, that doesn't make any sense. Yugi is a kind, caring, and responsible man, if he did this to her, he would have told her immediately that he would take responsibility.
Yeah, it would be nice if Yugi was the dad. Yet at the same time….Mai hoped that he wasn't.
"M-Mai?"
Mai turned as saw Anzu heading out the Game Shop, Mai smiled, "Hey Anzu! What brings you…"
Anzu cut her off, "Uh…" her eyes darted from Mai to Yugi's house above the shop, "Were…were you just talking to Y-Yugi?"
Mai raised an eyebrow, "O-Of course," Mai answered simply, "Why?"
Anzu blushed and shook her head, "N-Nothing!" she said, "S-See ya!"
Anzu then went inside the Game Shop.
"What's wrong with her?" Mai wondered out loud. Mai shrugged and continued on her way.
Well, that's that. So, can anyone guess what's Yugi hiding? Well, actually does anyone THINK he's hiding something? And what's up with Anzu? Haha! So many questions! Anyways, read n' review!
