This idea was given to me by thundersenshi17, Who I thank once again for the inspiration and who you readers can give credit to. Well, Enjoy the fic!
Merle with Rabies!
Dawn was slowly approaching and the kingdom of Fanelia slept peacefully. Within the castle of Van Fanel, a certain cat girl stretched her lithe form only to feel a muscle spasm run through her body. Merle lay in a window seal and stared out longing for dawn to arrive. She hadn't had a good nights sleep in days, she realized as she got up and began to roam the castle. "Just what is going on with me?" she thought more than a little worried. She shook of the feeling and went in search of Van.
Van Fanel had been up before dawn, out practicing his sword play. "You don't charge aggressively enough" Van said aloud in a mocking impression of Allen. "What does he know" He said with a huff. Merle sat and watched as her companion continued to practice and, just as she was going to approach Van, She saw Hitomi walk up to him. "What is SHE doing here" Merle said with a feral growl, she was becoming more and more annoyed with Hitomi lately. Merle slinked around just out of sight, she was restless and wanted to hear what that GIRL had to say to her Van.
"Oh Van!" Hitomi started "I didn't know you were out here". 'Yeah right, a likely story' Merle thought with a growl. "Oh Hitomi, I was just practicing my sword play" Van said sheathing his sword. "You should get Allen to help you" Hitomi said smiling at the thought of Allen (as usual she was being completely clueless and wasn't thinking of how Van felt for her) "Yeah, maybe" Van replied a smile playing across his features at the thought of humiliating Allen 'That pimp freak is going down, he will rue the day he ever insulted Van Fanel's swordsmanship' Van thought with a chuckle.
'What are they laughing about?' Merle thought angrily as she marched over to where Van and Hitomi were standing. "Oh, Hi Merle" Hitomi said cheerily "Merle" Van echoed as he turned to face the disgruntled cat girl. "Don't you 'Hi Merle' me!" Merle shouted as she latched on to Van. "I know you are trying to take Van away from me and I wont let you!" She said bearing her teeth. "Merle" Van scolded "Don't be rude to Hitomi, she was only having a chat with me" Merle released Van's arm and took a step away from him
"So, I see how it is now…" Merle said with fire in her eyes "You are in on this too!" she screamed at Van. "What are you talking about Merle? In on what?" Van asked confused "Don't play dumb Van Fanel! Oh wait I forgot you don't have to 'play'" Merle said as she ran off. Hitomi stared after where the cat girl had disappeared behind a building "What was that all about?" She asked "I have no idea" Van answered "But then, she has been acting strangely lately…"
So how was it? Good, bad, eh? I admit this chapter wasn't very funny, but things will pick up in the following chapters. Next time: Will our clueless main characters find out what is wrong with Merle? Will things turn nasty for Hitomi? Will Allen show up? As I have said before, More reviews = more chapters. Until Next Time!
