" oh! you're just the person i was looking for, " feline grin painted on cherry lips, she's quick to grab the young man's arm and tug him onto the back of the café, leading to the restrooms. once she's secured a private, no eavesdropping atmosphere, mai draws a cigarette box from her purse, and after lighting one and tucking it between her lips, she dangles another as an offering to her companion.

" given the fact that most of the men i know nowadays are old - or, y'know, jonouchi- i am so glad to have found the pretty one out of yuugi's group of friends, " voice is excessively saccharine, a clear hint that she's about to beg for a favor, " i'll be blunt, honey: i know this woman, we do business together. she owns a host club downtown tokyo and she's kinda short on staff because one of the hosts dislocated his arm, and another drank himself into a coma, or whatever, " exhaling smoke in a quick huff, mai holds her palms together, " work with me, here - it's only one night. please? i swear i'll owe you a big, big one.

“   i  can’t  tell  you  what  you’re  feeling  inside .   ” + “   something’s  missing   &   you’ve  got  to  look  back  on  your  life .   ” @ofhardknoxxx

" i do that on purpose. it's a skill at this point. i call it my special party trick. "

nobody can tell what she's feeling inside -- that's her thing, letting others see of her what she wants. mai is a chameleon, she's always been what others expect her to be ( the bombshell card dealer, the tramp, the ratty orphan ), and because self preservation is key, this is absolutely intentional. the notion of anyone seeing past the mask terrifies her to no end.

the notion of him having witnessed every single corner and nook of her mind terrifies her even more.

his eyes still haunt her at night ( lavender eyes should be beautiful; to mai, they are the eyes of a demon ), his voice still cuts deep into her skin like slashes of a blade. because whatever he was, wasn't human. that thing was not human -- it is said that no brain can fully wrap itself around the concept of true evil. human nature is rotten, yes, but pales in comparison to those lavender eyes looking into her soul with the grin of a jackal.

so, she doesn't expect jonouchi to understand. a part of her still resents him for it ( can't you see it? can't you see me at all? ), yet she knows, despite it all, that she chose to be an enygma to him. mai cannot expect jonouchi to know things about her she will never share with anyone at all.

and yet, she still wishes he would.

" y'know, instead of trying to stick your nose into my business, why don't you look at your own bullshit? " she's glancing away, tucking her feet further into her blanket. and she hates that he's come into her apartment, and he's cooked for her, and he's worried about her, because it just proves further that she's the one full of shit and he's not, " i just ... i'm fine. you underestimate my ability to keep all my emotional baggage inside a little suitcase and lock it away. i've done it before -- i'm fucking good at it, " she pauses for a second, inhales the steam of hot ramen noodles inside her bowl, " i'll start looking back on my life when you stop feeling guilty for not saving me that night. "

❛  you can tell me anything you want and i’ll believe it.  ❜ said @ofhardknoxxx

" that's a dangerous thing to say to anyone. especially a woman like me. a girl could take advantage of your naivety. "

she's trying to sound amused, crack a joke to make it seem like she's not still falling apart from the events of battle city. it's been six years ( her brain is like a calendar when it comes to that particular night, keeping track of days, months, years ). she hates how she hasn't been able to forget any single detail -- they say, often, that trauma eventually lessens with time; that you acknowledge it and are able to move on. to her, it's just that you get used to it to a degree that it hurts less.

she's ripping the movie ticket to tiny shreds with her hands, a nervous tick that displays obvious uneasiness to talk about these things. the movie they just saw was irrelevant and boring; but she still appreciates Jounochi using his meager salary to pay for everything tonight.

" you've always been a good guy, jounochi. still are, " a hand reaches to grab onto his chin softly so she can peck his cheek. the stain of lipstick left on his skin makes her smile, somehow, " you shouldn't really hang out with girls like me. we're walking disasters, " funny, nowadays, her looks are all she thinks has left, " but i appreciate that you still do. even though the movie you picked was trash. "

❛  if you aren’t going to do it for yourself, do it for me. please?  ❜ said @apricotheart

it's difficult for her to admit that she's hit rock bottom. again. because it's not the first time, and it certainly won't be the last, and even then, this time it's different, because anzu has actually decided to do something about it. after battle city, mai dissapeared off the radar ( it became impossible for her to face the people who cared about her knowning her mind had been absolutely fucking shattered ); she could not sleep, or eat, or do anything other than sit on her bed and cry. because it's one thing to have your body harmed ( to a degree, that pain goes away ), but when your brain has been screwed up with in such intense levels...it sticks with you.

she remembers. every single sensation, the fear: vomiting and pissing herself in terror and pain as the scarabs crawled inside her mouth. inside every single orifice. and standing there, like a wolf savoring the moment before the kill, was him.

and it was all inside her mind. and because her body carries no scars and no bruises or injuries, it almost feels like she can't even prove it ever happened. she can't prove she spent twenty four hours being brutally tortured because it happened all inside her own fucking brain.

and now, anzu is telling her she needs to open up. reach out for help. and somehow, that makes mai fucking angry.

" and what am i supposed to say? " through gritted teeth, mai spits out those words, as she continues bathing in her lotion, scrubbing her legs with almost compulsory determination, as if the bugs were still there, a if she needed to swat them off again and again and again, " what? am i supposed to go to a hospital and say i spent twenty four hours getting bugs stuffed inside my fucking mouth? that they were eating my flesh for an entire night while some sick fuck watched it all happen with a smirk? there's no proof of it. i have no scars, nothing -- i can't prove it ever happened because it didn't fucking happen in the real world. "

her long nails are now raking over her own flesh, leaving tiny little scratches alongside her thighs. but she still feels them there.

" please, anzu ... at best, they'd get me into a psych ward. i can only hope they just send me back home and tell me to stop fucking around with drugs. i can't talk to anyone about this. ever."

" can i ask you a question? "

she sits upon the armrest of the couch @hhorakhty rests in, having barged into the suite where he's been assigned for the night without as much as a knock first. and upon finding the boy laying on the sofa with the deck of cards in his hands, Mai gathers enough humbleness to allow herself to utter a single doubt.

" do you ... did you mean it, what you said back in duelist kingdom? about us being ... uh, friends?" fuck, she feels like an elementary school child asking a little boy if she can play with his legos. she absolutely hates the heavy uneasiness and nervousness she experiences while awaiting his answer, " or was it just a tactic to get me off the tournament so you could advance? 'cause you gave me back my starchips and all that night -- but if you were just playing me like a kazoo the whole time, i won't really be mad. would actually kinda respect your hustle. "

[kujakku]

" life's not fucking fair to anyone, you know?"

the bitterness, the grugdge in her voice, they are thick like the trickling of blood she remembers spiraling down his throat when his head was chopped off during their game. she sees it still, in her nightmares, the way that fucker would smile like he was getting off on the very idea of her fear.

she will never get that image out of her mind. or the feeling of high voltage breaking through her muscles, or the bugs gnawing at her flesh.

" i, for one, had hoped you'd gone back to your egypt cave and shot yourself in the head, @takhalaa " and only 'cause she couldn't have done it herself - vengeance is a scalding meal, too hot to swallow in one go, " but here we are again. so, life's not fair to anyone, and i hope you know, " voice trembles into a breathy whisper, an involuntary reaction to looking directly into his eyes, taking one single step closer and smelling the scent around him. he's still wearing the same cologne, or the stench is too impregnated into her memory, " that the only reason why i haven't clawed your eyes out with my nails is because we're in a public venue. "
