Girlfriend: Part one

Disclaimer: I do not own the song (Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne) nor do I own the characters.

Hey hey, you you

I don't like your girlfriend

No way, no way

I think you need a new one

Hey hey, you you

I could be your girlfriend

Mari was walking on the beach when she saw a familiar figure walking along the shore. She noticed it was Hao. She was about to run to him and greet him when she saw one of the X-Laws walk up to him. She got worried that they were going to hurt him again, but she noticed no other X-Laws were around. She saw her holding Hao's hands. Mari recognized her as the 'Iron-maiden'.

Why is Hao-sama and Iron Maiden-san together? Mari thought. She turned around and felt her heart breaking. Even though X-Laws and Hao & his subordinates are against each other, the two leaders are secretly dating. If this information leaks out, then war will break out. Mari went up to the group and confronted them.

"Hao-sama, Iron Maiden Jeanne-san…Mari doesn't want to be rude, but Mari wants to know what if someone sees you two together?" Mari asked.

"Undoubtedly, a war will break out but that will be the consequences of defying the orders of god to eliminate the demon." Jeanne stated. Mari fumed.

"Mari knows Hao-sama is not a demon!" Mari yelled back. She stomped away and her two ponytails whipped Jeanne on the face. Hao just looked amused. He didn't like Jeanne, but she promised not to hurt anymore of his people and in exchange, he becomes her boyfriend.

"I'll go back now, incase they start thinking something's wrong." Hao said. Jeanne nodded and they separated. Hao caught up with Mari and noticed she was silent.

"Mari is sorry, Hao-sama. Mari…is sorry for disrespecting Iron Maiden-san." Mari said softly. Hao barely heard her, but he was used to her voice already.

"It's okay, I guess, after all those years; I don't really think that you would like her." Hao said.

"Hao-sama is right; Mari doesn't like her…Mari thinks that Hao-sama deserves better…" Mari said. "Mari thinks Hao-sama deserves someone who is loyal to him…"

Hao just kept silent and suddenly stopped. Mari who was deep in thought stopped when she felt him stop. Mari wishes to be the one Hao-sama cares most about…even if not, I'll still love Hao-sama.

Hey hey, you you

I know that you like me

No way, no way

You know it's not a secret

Hey hey, you you

I want to be your girlfriend

Mari tripped and Hao made sure she didn't fall by slipping his arm around her waist and pulling her up. Their faces ended up really close. Hao had a small blush.

Oh no, don't tell me I'm starting to fall for her. Hao thought. He shook his thoughts out, but his lips touched with Mari's and he paused. Mari's eyes were wide open in shock. Hao felt a special emotion for her heat up and he felt like kissing her really badly. He pulled her up and hugged her closer before placing his lips fully on hers. Mari pushed him away.

"Mari can't do it; Hao-sama has a girlfriend…" Mari said running away. Unknown to her, her tears were falling.

Please…why does it seem like Hao-sama likes Mari…Mari still wish he was my boyfriend. Mari thought.

You're so fine
I want you (to be) mine
You're so delicious
I think about you all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know
What I can do
To make you feel alright
(alright alright alright)

Mari was sitting inside her tent and traced her lips. She thought about the day, from the shock of seeing her leader with the leader of the enemy to the shock of her leader kissing her. Mari couldn't handle it and decided to stay away so she doesn't break the relationship. However, she couldn't help but think and love Hao. She hugged her doll close to her chest and couldn't sleep. Hao's face was popping up in her mind and she was smiling sweetly through the whole night. She sighed and walked out of her tent and bumped into a figure. It was Hao.

"Hao-sama, why so late?" Hao shrugged.

"How about you Mari? Why are you still awake?" Hao asked.

"Mari couldn't sleep…" Mari said in a whisper. She looked down to avoid being addicted to his eyes and lips. She wanted to serve him and see him happy…but it almost seems like there's no more need for her to serve him.

Don't pretend
I think you know
I'm damn precious
And hell yea
I'm the mother fucking princess
I can tell you like me too
And you know I'm right
(I'm right I'm right I'm right)

"Hao-sama…Mari wants to ask why Hao-sama is with someone like Iron Maiden-san." Mari asks. Hao just looked at Mari and was silent.

"For our companions…" Hao said unsurely.

"That was all? Mari's disappointed at the little trust Hao-sama has in our companions. Mari and our companions can protect us; Hao-sama does not have to be bossed around by someone Hao-sama doesn't like." Mari said with her voice a little raised. Hao was shocked.

"I guess that's true…" Hao said.

She's like so whatever
you can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

The next day, people found out about the sacrifice of his love life that Hao made for his group of followers. They respected him even more and Hao was feeling confused about what he felt for Mari. Mari walked up to him and murmurs went on behind them.

"Hao-sama, Iron Maiden-san and the X-Laws are having an in-group fight." Mari said. Hao groaned to himself.

"That's not good…" Hao said.

"Mari doesn't like it when Hao-sama is troubled…Mari doesn't like Hao-sama with Iron Maiden-san." Mari said. Mari wants to be together with Hao-sama. Hao just kept silent after what Mari said.

I can see the way
I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away
I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time
Again and again
(Again again again)

Hao looked at Mari and Mari noticed. She tilted her head before looking up into the sky. Hao stood up all of a sudden and Jeanne appeared. Hao and Jeanne started conversing and talked really fast. Mari heard her name a couple of times and became curious. Then they started yelling and Mari covered her ears. She hated yelling…it reminded her of unwanted fights.

So come over here
And tell me what I wanna hear
Better, yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name
Ever again
(Ever again again again)

After a while, Hao came back and looked pissed off. He plopped down next to Mari who was still silent.

"Hao-sama…is something wrong?" Mari finally asked. Hao was kind of waiting for her to ask.

"We broke it off now. She claims that all I talk about is you and etc. She's going to command the X-Laws to attack the group." Hao said finally after 2 minutes. Mari looked shocked.

"Hao-sama…" Mari whispered.

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

Mari mustered all her courage and wrapped her arms around Hao. Hao was surprised. Mari was trying to comfort Hao without any words; she succeeded even though she didn't know.

"Hao-sama… Iron Maiden-san does not know Hao-sama at all…Hao-sama, Mari thinks that Iron Maiden-san is stupid for thinking that she could control you…" Mari said fiercely. Hao let Mari's words sink into his mind and realized that the agreement just benefited Jeanne and not him.

"What was I thinking to agree to her proposal of this?" Hao said burying his head into his hands. Now he felt stupid and it was witnessed by the girl he started to love.

"Hao-sama was just thinking of his companions' safety. Hao-sama didn't have to do that. Mari knows that all of us here expected to be injured or lose our life if we chose this path. Mari knows that we all love Hao-sama very much and we respect Hao-sama a lot. Mari knows that Hao-sama is very strong and no one can compare in our hearts." Mari said looking at Hao. Hao nodded and gave her a small smile.

"Thank you Mari, thank you for comforting me." Hao said. Mari noticed that Hao had changed after the fight with Yoh; he was less arrogant and cocky, a little easier going which was a relief to her. He no longer had a strict and scary face. A loud bang was heard. Mari let go of Hao and ran to where the noise was. Hao followed too. He knew it was the X-Laws like Jeanne had "promised". Mari saw a horrible sight.
