Mai

Mai was walking towards the Turtle Gaming Shop, knowing this was the location of the young man she was having a taste. Now she wanted a piece of that delicious hunk known as Yugi. She did have to admit he didn't have the look of your typical Hollywood created hunk you might see up on the silver screen. Yet it was part of the charms which had made her want to see him all the more after these months away from the gang from Domino.

'The last time I was here, I was working for that monster Dartz. Convince that my friends had left me behind and that I was a complete loser even when I won duels. The two eyed freak used that against me and twisted my thoughts about everything. I realize that now, remembering the times that Yugi and Joey saved my butt during Duellist Kingdom and Battle City. Of course it didn't help what Marik's other freaky side did to me during the duel with the Wing Dragon of Ra. After all of that, I need time alone to find myself... or at least get a shrink to look at me.' Mai thought as she knew the major reason she had been avoid her friends in Domino due to the shame she felt over Doma disaster.

'I was looking for my passion for duelling so I can make it back to my friends again. I have already met and come to an understanding with Varon. I hope to see Joey soon and see if we can mend the relationship we had before my... dark period. Still there is the relationship with Yugi which I want address now.' Mai continued in her mind as she remembered the revealations she had made during the time she had spent alone with herself.

As she had thought before, Yugi was not the typical Hollywood heartthrob. She had to acknowledge, 'Yugi is not tall, dark and handsome. He's shorter then normal, likely since he lacks confidence and slouches down when not comfortable. When he's duelling or playing a game, his height seems to peak up since he's standing taller and stronger. His hair does have black in it, but it is also a mix of red and blond. Plus he's a little paler then the movie star crowd who tend to have tans, even in winter. There's also the handsome factor to take care of...'

'The fact is Yugi seems to have two looks to him most of the time. The look when he is duelling is that of a sexy man who is in command of everything and everyone. A man who reeks of power and danger in the way of a bad boy, yet who you know has a heart of gold who will protect and nurture a woman he desires. The other side of himself is much softer then that bad boy image, which mutes the handsome image of the King of Games. It's this second image of a cute and lovable young man which I loved best between the two Yugi. I can have all of the bad boys I want given my image and rep in the duelling world, yet I know most of the time they turn out to be jerks. Two of the only bad boys I know for certain are different are Joey and Varon. Exceptions to the norm. I know the real Yugi is a kind hearted, brave man of great skill from what I have seen of him in action and heard about him from those who he has touched.' Looking over all of his good qualities and the growing feelings inside of her, she had decided to come tonight to see what would happen if she turned her attention to the younger man.

'Even if nothing was to come of it, we might be able to be friends with benefits until one of us was to meet someone we wanted to be with. However, there is always the possiblity it might go further then that. It would be a dream to be the King of Game's Queen.' Thought Mai as she rung to doorbell. Shortly, the door opened and Yugi appeared.

"Hello, Mai? What a surprise. I was just holding down the fort while everyone was a way. Would you like to come in and talk a while?" asked Yugi as he opened the door wide enough for her to get in.

"I would love to talk... I would love to other things as well." she said, flirting with the shorter man. Before she hid the comment with, "Like playing a few games between us, to test our skills."

With that she entered the home and followed Yugi to a place where they could play.
