A Seal of Emotions

Summary: Can't think of a summary…but read and review please!

N1MFG: Okay here's the deal I've been watching too much of the Waking the Dragons episode and I've been dying to do another fic on it. So here's the love triangle! Mai/Varon/OC and Raphael/OC/Varon

Asha walked around the corridor. The three duelists had all left on missions and she was left lonely. Raphael, Amelda, and Varon left with a new duelist to track down the pharaoh. Asha found it very hypocritical of Mai to be dueling with the seal but then again she really didn't have a say at all. Her position was being the DOOM assassin with her Sais…but it seemed it had been dubbed down or she was being ignored.

She hated being ignored…but she didn't care. Asha had thigh length dark brown hair, slim build, ruby red eyes, and elf like ears. As she looked out to the sea, from under her black shades, she saw the ship returning.

Asha didn't really move quickly to the port. She walked along with her pet panther, Ibris. It was strange since Varon wasn't making his usual racket and Raphael was the first off the ship. Alister was on another mission so he wouldn't be here. Asha looked at Raphael curiously and he turned his head to Varon who was carrying Mai down the runway. "So what happened now?"

"Mai was loosing her duel and Varon decided to 'save' her and ended the duel." Asha could sense there was a hint of anger and disgust in Raphael's voice. With that said he went off leaving Asha and her panther with Varon and an unconscious Mai.

Asha looked at Mai and found no physical damage and deemed to nothing was wrong with her. "There's nothing wrong with her Varon." Varon looked at her deadly but Asha ignored the death glare. She just turned her attention to Ibris. "What is wrong with you? Can't you see she's been through enough?" Asha heard Varon angry before but not this angry.

Asha looked at him with her cool ruby red eyes. "Physically she's fine moron. I don't know what happened so I can't say her mentally unstable. And even if I did Dartz would take her soul." She said coolly. She would admit she had slight feelings for Varon but being rude to her, there was no reason for that.

Varon had a displeased look on his face as Asha and her panther left. 'So Varon is a moron, as I recall. Who does she think she's kidding? She's a hypocrite. Dueling her own friends to take their souls and seal them in a similar place to the shadow realm. I thought she of all people would try to prevent her friends and anyone else suffering the same treatment.' Asha then saw Ibris go onto the roof she sighed, but as she had her attention elsewhere she bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry Raphael, didn't see you there." He pulled her up. He turned to go but signaled her to follow him. Asha curiously and slowly followed him to an empty room.

"Asha I need to know, why do you have a strong disliking of Mai?" Asha looked him in the eye. "She's a hypocrite from my instinct." Raphael nodded showing he understood what she meant. "Actually Asha I had something else in mind." Asha's eyes widened a bit behind her shades. 'I hope he doesn't mean what I think he does.'

"Well Asha, can you tell me what I'm thinking?" Asha unfortunately saw the trap. "I can read minds, I may be a healer and an assassin but I'm not any mind reader." Raphael frowned at his attempts to find out what was going on. He should have known Asha was too smart to be tricked like that. "So what are you thinking?" Asha asked.

"That Mai has taken your respected position here, but I want you to know in my eyes she hasn't." Asha was thankful he didn't find out about her slight affections for Varon. Her head hung taking in what Raphael had just said. Her dark brown hair covered her face as she thought about it.

Raphael came up to her and raised her head to look into her half covered ruby red eyes. Trying to find her emotions was hard but in her eyes you could find it. He had always been gentle with her. He wanted to tell her everything that bothered him. But he was afraid he'd loose whatever he currently held with her.

Tossing his current emotions away he was concentrating on the fact that Asha had a disapproving look on her face. "Taking my place? The only place she'll take is in a soul card. No regards. But if she does keep on loosing concentration and duels then that's all she's good for."

"What! How can you say that, can't you see she's one of us!" an angry voice said.

Asha saw it was Varon.

"Can't you see she's nothing but a hypocrite?"

"She's not, besides the only reason why you're here is because Master Dartz is busy preparing for coming events. If he had time on his hands he would have taken you long ago that's all you'll ever be good for you stupid girl."

Now that pissed off Asha. Asha walked out quickly out of the room saying nothing and showing no emotion.

Raphael left the room after Asha left. Varon sensed something was bothering Asha…and a whole lot.
