I'm in a writing mood these days. Especially with Bakugan fics. This fanfic is based on a Shadow centric doujin I made long ago. You may think that Shadow is a bit out of character here but keep reading the chapters so you will understand.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

The Simple Art of Desensitization

Mylene's POV:

They knew me as the ice queen. They called me intimidating and harsh. And I believed them cause I'm like that. It's okay for me to have no friends. Feelings are for the weak. That's what I've always thought. As I walked home after a boring day of school I saw him again. That weird albino boy of the long tongue. That stupid boy…I didn't know why everybody picked on him. Yeah…he had that unusual white hair, red eyes and that freakish long tongue but these were not reasons to tease him. I didn't know why the other kids hit him so much. He didn't do bad things. They called him all kinds of mean names, but they really, really liked to call him "baby doll" because he cried as one of those dolls for little girls everytime he's being bullied.

His name was…Shadow Prove. Spiky white hair and blah blah blah….the eyes and tongue thing. Ten years old. One year younger than me. He never uttered a word and his grades were so poor that he even made the retards look smart!

Those kids were teasing him again. Pulling his hair and tongue and trying to pick his eyes to see if his eyes were red because of the blood. I didn't wanted to save him but he looked so weak and pathetic as he laid on the floor crying and pleading. I did what I had to do.

-Leave him alone-I whispered as I put my angry face. It worked cause they freaked out and ran away. Cowards. That Shadow boy was still there on the floor, whimpering.

-Are you okay?-I asked him as I carried him and wiped the blood from his hair and legs.

-Yeah, I could have got rid of them but thanks anyway!-he said in an unusual cheerful tone as he stood up and wiped the tears.

And he smiled. I was kind of shocked because his freakish long tongue was hanging out. He gave me one last look and he ran away to his house, maybe.

The next day I went up to school. I was surprised to see him waiting at the door. Waiting for me. He greeted me while laughing with his tongue out again. The walk to school was a living hell. That hyperactive idiot bouncing around me all the way. He was so annoying…

-So Mylene…what are you gonna do today, my friend?

-Shut up. You're not my friend.

-You should or I'm going to bother you for the rest of your life!-he screamed happily as his weird smile widened

Ugh…I shouldn't have saved him. For some reason that I don't know he understood my act as friendship. Days, months passed and people though that we were best friends or maybe we were in another kind of relationship….

The truth is that he followed me everywhere, talking nonsense and sticking his tongue out. So hyper and happy. But he was only like this around me. Around the others he cried as everyone teased him. Sometimes he even used me as his human shield. But this was only at lunchtime and recess because, as I said before, I was older than him and we were from different classrooms. So everytime after school I wasn't surprised to see him with a purple eye or a broken arm. And he didn't seem to mind it around me.

He was weak

N/A:Please don't kill me for making Shadow a crybaby as a kid! He's still annoying and has his tongue habit! Everything will be explained as I upload moar chapters.
