Ayane: …I can't believe this…
Hiei: …
Ayane: I can't believe I'm back with another Cell fic… I can't believe I got this idea and began writing it while going over psychological disorders in my Advanced Placement Psychology class… I can't believe that after I've said time and again no more Cell fics… I… UGH!
Hiei: O.O"
Ayane: …I need laid…
Kurama: On that note… Lady Ayane does not own DBZ or Lady Nisi's OC Cherry Hughes. She owns Misa Misora – her own OC – and this interesting plot…
Ayane: CAN IT, KIT!
NPD!: A Cell Story
"Me? A narcissist?"
"Yes, Cell, you. There's therapy for that, you know." Chi-Chi was standing at the kitchen sink, washing some dishes.
"Do you not approve, my dear?" He ran his fingers gently down her arms. He smirked when he felt her shiver under his touch. She suddenly pulled away to turn and glare at him.
"Actually, Cell, I don't."
"…You have to be kidding me…"
A contemptuous smirk stared across the room at Cell. She had been the only one who would not run when the world heard that the infamous Cell needed a therapist.
Cherry Hughes.
"Now Cell," she stressed his name, "please tell me why you are here."
"Hmph. You know very well why I am here, Miss Hughes. Son Chi-Chi took the liberty of writing all of it down."
She chuckled silently to herself, pretending to examine the papers. "Ah, yes… You're a conceited twat. How many lays did it take for her to realize that one?" She was testing his patience and loving every second of it.
"Miss Hughes, if you would kindly—"
"Yes, yes, of course. I'm sorry, Mister Cell. I was just going back to the arena is all (1). It was very unprofessional of me." She cleared her throat and the air around her quickly changes to seriousness. "Now, Cell, the problem with you is exactly as Mrs. Son has stated. You do, in fact, have Narcissistic Personality Disorder."
Cell had been admiring his reflection in the window until the word "disorder" fell from her mouth. He glared.
"Are you suggesting, my dear, that I am anything less than perfect?"
Cherry sighed. "See, Cell, herein lies the root of your problem. You think that the world revolves around you."
"But it does, miss Hughes," he responded, a cocky yet confused smirk on his face. "If I told the world to stop it would on a dime."
"…Mmm-hmm…" Cherry's eyes darted from Cell to the notepad she was scribbling furiously in. "Would it really now?"
He jerked his chin up and chuckled at her absurd question. "Miss Hughes, it is proven by the fact that everyone and everything on this blasted planet fears me."
"Except for Misa, Goku, Chi-Chi, Zangya, Gohan, the other Z fighters, Piza, me… The list goes on and on, Cell. So I ask you again: Would the world really stand still for you?"
He had lost his cockiness and just looked annoyed now. "Hn. If I would destroy those few people, yes," he muttered.
"Good, good. We're making progress. Well… sort of." Cherry smiled as she glanced at the clock. "And just in time, too! I was afraid we wouldn't make a breakthrough by the end of this session!" She knew that although he had not come right out and said it, he now knew the world would not stop for him. He would not kill the people she had listed – he could not.
"Are we finished?" he interrupted her thoughts.
"For today, yes. Have a good day, Cell." She grinned and opened the door wide for him and his slightly-deflated ego. "See you next week!"
"Do not fool yourself, my dear," he scoffed. He flew off, agitated by the situation.
Maybe Son Chi-Chi and Cherry Hughes were right…
He shrugged the idea off and went to the one person kind enough to not judge him unless he was killing innocent people: Misa Misora.
(1)- Read "Curiosity". Basically, Misa and Cherry were his hostages all throughout the Cell Games and what-not…
Ayane: …There may be subsequent chapters if I get enough reviews… I'd say about 10 or more
Hiei: -_-"
Ayane: Whaaaaat?
Hiei: Pay attention in class, Onna
Ayane: …You sound like Kurama. Osuwari!
Hiei: (falls to ground) What the—?"
Ayane: (giggles) Thank you, Kagome Higurashi! This necklace brought to you by: Kagome's rotting corpse. Enjoy. :]
Hiei: -_-"
Kurama: R&R! :D
