Closets and Stalkers
||Twas in the mood to write a crack fic, I was… anyways, it should be known that I don't think that Lync and Shadow would EVER act like this, which actually rather disappoints me. I was just… bored… so very bored when I thought up this idea… plus, their childness just gets to me that way. It so cute… ;_;
||Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan.
||Involves the HIGHLY OOC antics of Shadow, Lync, Mira, Gus and Volt.
||She knew that being in the Vexos wouldn't be easy. She didn't think she'd have to resort to hiding in closets in order to save her sanity.
Gus' daily routine did not normally include trying to convince the girl skulking in his closet that coming out would be safe (when he reflected on it later, that sentence sounded just so completely weird). Yet, for some reason, he still found himself going at it for at least twenty minutes by now.
"I'm serious, Mira. You can't hide in here forever. This is my room. I don't want you in here."
The red-haired girl refused to move her head from where she had it buried in her knees. "No. I refuse. They'll get me if I come out, I just know it."
"Well, couldn't you go hide in someone else's closet? Why mine?"
"I told you, it was the one I was nearest to when THEY nearly caught me!! If I had a choice, it would have been someone else's!"
"Listen, I don't hear them right now, and you can normally hear them coming from a mile away… I'm sure it would do you no harm to get out as quickly as possible and find another hiding place that isn't as much as a bother to me…"
She raised her head slightly, just enough to give the impatient boy a glare with her narrowed, feline eyes. "Give me one good reason as to why I should trust you. You'd do anything to get rid of me…"
"True…"
"See? You even admit it. I can't trust a word you say."
"… You know what? I give up on you." Ignoring her yelp, Gus' arm snatched forward, grabbing her forearm and hauling the girl to her feet and promptly dragging her to the door, despite her panicked protests. With a small growl, he let the door slide open in front of him and shoved Mira in the empty hallway. "YOU ARE NOT STAYING IN MY CLOSET. See, they aren't around, it's safe enough for you to find a new hiding place…"
"MIIIIIIIIIIIIII~RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!!"
Spoke too soon.
Even before the call had finished echoing down the hall, Mira had ducked around him and was bee-lining back for the closet, leaving poor Gus to groan as the door shut itself, muffling the clamor of cries and hurried footsteps.
"MIRA~!! COME PLAY WITH US, WE THOUGHT UP A FUN NEW GAME!!"
"Heyy, it's my game!! And it a two-player game, so only Mira and I can play it!! TAKE THAT!!"
"… Well… YOU'RE SHORT!! AND YOU HAVE PINK HAIR!!"
"!! TAKE THAT BACK, CLOWN!!"
"HELL NO!! Crazy killer clowns like me take NOTHING back!!"
Gus found himself extremely close to hitting his head against a wall as the arguing presumably passed by his door and faded off. "… Well, now we know they're gone. If you just go down the hallway in the opposite direction… Mira… don't lock my closet door… it's MY closet door… seriously Mira, I don't want you hiding in here forever…"
"I WILL NOT LET THEM GET ME."
"…" And now was the time Gus went for some backup.
"A toy?! They just think I'm some sort of TOY?!"
"Yes," Volt repeated bluntly, completely unfazed by Mira's displeased frown that bore into him from her cross-legged position on the floor. "You are new. They don't normally deal with something like you. To them, you are a fascinating playtoy."
"… SERIOUSLY?! THEY'RE ANNOYING ME BECAUSE I'M A TOY?!"
"Isn't there any way to get rid of her?" Gus asked, fighting to keep the desperation out of his voice…before stopping with a small frown. "… Them. I meant them." Getting rid of her would be easy; push off a cliff, lock in some obscure room, exorcise… he just had to make sure Master Spectra never found out.
But Lync and Shadow… they just kept coming back…
"In order of complexity, you could murder them brutally," Volt said, ignoring the contemplative looks on the faces of the other two. Whether or not they took his advice and how they did was not his problem. "Find them a new toy. Scare them off by putting her under the protection of someone they're afraid of."
"… Mylene?" Gus suggested.
"No. She's too content with having Shadow off her back."
"… Dammit."
"If that's all you wanted to know…" Volt sat up from his seat on the edge of Gus' bed, giving the two a purposeful stare. "I would like my payment."
"… What?"
"I gave you information, it's only fair that you pay for me it. Fifteen bucks."
"I was a renegade a few days ago," Mira said hurriedly, glancing at Gus hopefully. "I don't HAVE any money…"
"… I hate you all. Let me go find my wallet…"
Gus never had a chance to. Because at that moment, a large square tile was tumbling to the floor, dragging their eyes towards the ceiling… and the two heads poking through the large opening left behind. "MIRA~!! WE FOUND YOU~!!"
"NO!!" Mira jerked to her feet drunkenly as Shadow shoved Lync away from the hole, wiggling through first; with a yelp, he crashlanded to the floor, face connecting rather soundly with tile. This was not helped by a bundle of indignant green and pink following very swiftly after. "How… the ceiling… what, how did you…?"
"Mira!!" With a beaming, smug grin and absolutely no answers to her stammer of a question, Lync leapt off of the painfully squeaking Shadow, latching himself to her waist before she could flee. "We thought you got lost, so we went on this epic mission to find you, so you and I can be together again~!!"
"You mean me and her!!" Shadow, defying all possibilites of severe bodily injury, leapt to his feet, sticking his tongue out at Lync before focusing on the trapped redhead as his hand dug through the pocket of his coat. "HEY, MIRA!! I drew you a picture, it's the most wonderful picture ever and I put a lot of effort into it, it's of you carrying this GIANT blade and cutting off Lync's hea…" Shadow froze when his hand resurfaced, empty. "… LYNC!! DID YOU STEAL MY PICTURE---?!"
The Ventus child just snickered. "No~… unless you mean back when we stopped to get something to eat and I totally snuck it into your sandwich…"
"NO!"
"Oh yeah!!"
"… SHORT!!"
"OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!"
Mira mouthed two pleading, silent words towards Gus and Volt as the two more enthusiastic members of the Vexos instantly threw themselves into a contest of glaring and yelling.
"… Due to the gravity of the situation," Volt said slowly, sending a side-long look towards the blanching blue-haired boy, "I am now charging thirty bucks."
"… I hate you. I hate you all."
"Mutual."
"WAIT A MINUTE!!" It seemed as though Volt's and Gus' quiet conversation had drawn attention to them; Lync and Shadow now stared at them with wide eyes that slowly narrowed with growing suspicion. Lync hissed, in a way that somehow, actually, sent shivers up everyone's spines. "What is Mira doing with you two?"
"Have you been taking advantage of my Mira?!" Shadow snarled. Instant splutters from Gus and Mira, and a deadpan expression from Volt.
"… My Mira," Lync corrected shortly.
"No, my Mira."
"… Our Mira for now?"
"… Yeah, whatever, just for now… NOW WHY HAVE YOU TWO BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MIRA?!"
"We are NOT," Gus growled, clearly insulted. "I would never, EVER lower myself so much as to lay a finger on her."
"Suuuuuuure," Lync said scathingly, still clinging to Mira tightly as Shadow bounded towards her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders protectively. "For all we know, you could be secretly straight!!"
"Prepostero… wait, WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I AM NOT SECRETLY STRAIGHT, I AM STRAIGHT!!"
"That's not what your hair says."
"Um," Mira mumbled in embarrassment as Gus' hands instantly leapt to his lovely locks defensively, "… can you two… please let go of me?"
She was answered by a perfectly synced, "NU!!"
… Twitch.
"… This," Volt said slowly, as a protesting Mira was prodded and pushed towards the doorway by the excitedly babbling pair of 'admirers', "is going to very interesting. Gus, I'm going to have to make it a fifty."
||Well… one, the ending didn't satisfy me. Two, I somehow enjoy writing Shadow and Lync and Mira and Gus and Volt all so amazingly out of character… aaaaaaand… I'm bored and my other fics are just kinda coming along a bit slowly…
So, if you decide to review for whatever obscure reason, just tell me if you think I should add another chapter or two to this. Because I… don't really know… *shrugs*
