Lover's Quarrel's: Marchen Awakens Fury
Chapter 1: Dorothy VS Nanashi
Dorothy shot up from under the covers. Looking around, she saw that Nanashi wasn't in the bed. The girl gasped and quickly forced herself awake. "What time is it?!" She demanded, even though no one else was in the room. Flailing her arms about, Dorothy whacked a clock so that it faced her, and screamed when she saw the time: "4 AM?! Why the hell isn't Nanashi here at 4 AM?!"
----------
Nanashi purred as he snuggled with that village girl. It was so strange. He'd spent the whole day with her and he still couldn't remember her name. Oh, well, not that it mattered. Dorothy would have no idea that he'd be gone. She always slept for hours on end, that lazy witch. Ever since their marriage, Dorothy made Nanashi do all the work. She grew fatter, and soon, she'd be no better off than Emokis. Nanashi sighed, girls shouldn't grow fat and ugly, he decided. They should be thin and pretty. Like this girl... What's her face?
----------
Dorothy tore the front door off its hinges as she stormed out of the house. It was sad, too. They spent 10,000 gold pieces on that fancy door, but that didn't really matter. She had to make sure that Nanashi wasn't cheating on her, and she could care less what happened to that stupid shack of a home they owned. It wasn't really special or anything, their home. With floor space totaling to less than a tenth of an acre and its total value being 130000 gold pieces, their home was nothing compared to the old mansion she used to live in. Ever since she lived with that theif, Nanashi quit his rank as boss, leaving Galian to care for Luberia. He claimed that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Dorothy, but if he was cheating... Then that would mean that he must have been cheating for a while, and HE MUST DIE!
---------
Dorothy thought for a moment: There would be no way that she'd understand the male mind. She was a lady, and ladies were so much smarter than men. But, thinking of all of her male friends, she couldn't think of one man who could score nearly as easily as Nanashi. Alan was old, and Gaira was, well, he was practically dead. Alviss really needed to go out and have fun. His pitiful scowls and constant silence was so eerie... Bell had to be insane. Ginta was a great guy, but he already left Mar Heaven a while ago. Galian was a theif, and she didn't feel comfortable around him or his other companions. Ash, Rolan, and all those other people were Chess Pieces, and Edward was an annoying dog who'd never have puppies.
But as she thought of it, the only guy she could approach and have less of a chance to be shooed away would be Alviss. That kid could take a lot of the taunts and stuff that everyone would pelt him with. She had to go find him.
First off, it was 5 AM. Except for an irate Dorothy, no one in their right minds would be awake at 5 AM. Secondly, it was almost impossible to find that kid. He was so mysterious and never around if one were to search for him.
"Six." She decided suddenly. She'd track him down with her Watching Bird Arm, then whack him awake at 6 AM with her broom. She needed some guy to give her advice as to where that stupid idiot could have gone.
----------
About forty five minutes later, Watching Bird spotted Alviss snoozing on some rock. Was that kid homeless or something? Seriously, who would sleep on a rock? But, she couldn't complain. After all, he was her most important potential ally in this case. She sat beside his sleeping form and waited till it was 6. Dawn hadn't even come up yet, and the sky was as black as coal, but Dorothy couldn't wait. She raised her broom, and smacked Alviss on the forehead.
"WHAT?!" The boy lept a good nine feet into the air before crashing down. "Hi, Alviss!" She tried to smile. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! WHAT TIME IS IT?! WHY DID YOU DISTURB ME?!" He roared. Belle immediately snapped awake: "Al!" She squealed, flying over and sitting on his shoulder.
Both Alviss and Belle glared at Dorothy, who chuckled: "I, well, I woke up an hour ago because I was dreaming that Nanashi was cheating on another girl. When I came to, I noticed that he wasn't in bed. He wasn't anywhere in the house, so I ran out the door. Seeing as how you are the only friend of mine who can handle me waking you up at 6 in the morning, I decided to ask you for your help."
"First off, Nanashi will probably come crawling back to you at 8 or something, then you could interrogate him. I don't need to get involved. Secondly, thanks for trusting me, but WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA TO WAKE ME UP AT 6 IN THE MORNING?! IT'S NOT LIKE WE'LL FIND HIM ANY EASIER!" Alviss roared again.
"Man, isn't he cranky in the morning?" Dorothy mused.
Alviss snarled: "I better be getting paid for this."
Dorothy thought for a minute. A reward would motivate him to help her. "Ok, then. You will get paid." Dorothy smirked. "Deal..." Alviss yawned, shifting to a business pose.
---------
Nanashi stirred. He found that the girl was still sleeping. He turned his head to glance at the clock. It was 6. Wow, he could have sworn that he was up not too long ago, but he didn't know exactly when.
The girl began to stir... "Nanashi..." She moaned. The blond-haired thief smiled at her. Her warmth reminded him of the days when his slender Dorothy would be by his side...
----------
Dorothy and Alviss reentered the house. Alviss was shocked that even though the front door was so broken, it was so late (or so early) that no one bothered to go in and take anything.
Alviss walked over to the couple's main closet, and sniffed Nanashi's clothes. "Dorothy?" He called.
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember smelling anything funny on his clothes? Or finding weird things in his pockets?"
"I'm not that nosy, Alviss."
"Oh, really?"
"Ya, really."
"Oh, really?"
"Ya, really."
"Oh, really?"
"Oh, shut it!" Dorothy glared at him.
Alviss sighed. Would anyone appreciate his sense of humor?
Dorothy walked up to him: "And besides, those are our special clothes..."
Alviss raised his eyebrow. "Special clothes."
Dorothy gave him a sweet smile. Alviss was officially disturbed.
---------
"Don't leave me, Nanashi!" The girl grabbed his arm.
"I'm sorry, but I have to get back to my place. I have work tomorrow."
"Silly, you told me that you were on break tomorrow, right? Now we can spend the whole day together. Go back to sleep..." The girl smiled.
"Um, right..." Nanashi began to sweat. What kind of idiot was he? If Dorothy had any suspicions, he'd be dead!
"Nanashi... Stay with me a little longer..." The girl stared into his eyes.
"Sure." Nanashi smiled. He could never resist a woman.
----------
"Are you sure, Alviss?"
"Yep, it really does smell like perfume on these clothes. When's the last time you did the laundry?"
"Just four days ago."
"Then, yes, he is cheating on you."
"Don't say that! It could be my perfume..." Dorothy looked really worried now.
Alviss kind of felt guilty when he told her: "You don't wear that kind of perfume."
----------
Nanashi was relaxing next to the girl, whose name he still couldn't remember, when he saw a bird flying outside the window. The bird was purple, and he could swear that he saw it before... Suddenly, the bird disappeared, and Nanashi yelled: "Oh, crap!"
"Found him!" A girl's voice ringed through the air.
"Do I have to get involved?" A man asked.
Nanashi could hear the yelp of a man... Who, strangely, sounded like Alviss. Suddenly, the door was blasted open by a gust of wind, and Dorothy appeared, dragging Alviss by the ear.
"Dorothy..." Nanashi pleaded.
"YOU!" Dorothy roared.
The girl in bed with Nanashi gasped: "You never told me you were with another girl!"
"He's married." Dorothy showed her the ring.
"What?! You pig!" The girl slapped Nanashi.
Dorothy smirked: "Thanks, but I'll handle it from here." Dorothy raised her broom.
"Darlin', I warned you that I'd have affairs..." Nanashi groveled on the ground.
"You're right... So I guess you won't mind if I do this!" She pulled Alviss into a kiss... A kiss that happened to suffocate the poor, sullen lad.
Nanashi stood there, with nothing but his boxers on, watching Dorothy kissing Alviss... And he got mad. Very mad. Grabbing the electric eye, Nanashi was ready to fry the pair. Alviss begged that, first, he would be allowed to breathe, and, second, that he'd come out of this alive.
"Electric Eye!"
Dorothy pushed Alviss off of her: "Broom of Zephryus."
"Run!" Alviss warned the girl.
---------
Several explosions later, Alviss and the girl were hiding under the ruins of the house she owned. Nanashi and Dorothy, angry that their spouse was cheating on them, attacked each other with full strength. Gymnote crushed Flying Leo, and was torn apart by Birikin, but Nanashi had fried Dorothy enough for her to recall Birikin. Nanashi won the battle, but both were exhausted...
"That... Was fun..."
"The cheating, or the fight?"
"Well, er, both..."
"You know, your honesty makes it impossible for me to get mad at you..."
Alviss turned to the girl: "She forgives him that readily?"
The girl began to cry: "I got manipulated by that kind of guy?!"
Nanashi smirked: "Dorothy, let's go home."
Dorothy smiled: "Sure... But you'll get there first, darlin'."
"What do you mean?"
"Thunder Wind!"
"GAAAHHH!!!" Nanashi was sent flying off into the distance.
Dorothy got on her broom: "Thanks, Alviss!" She smiled as she flew away.
The girl turned to Alviss: "So where do they live? I need to sue someone!" Her eyes narrowed.
Alviss gulped. This was the beginning of a long day.
