*** (Celtic's POV)
"Damn these meeting…" I thought as I shuffled papers and pens at the same time. "So much work to do…why is this always dumped off of me?" Angrily, I finally stacked the papers in order and walked down the hall to the council room. "No one does any work around here and it's always up to me to get things done and accounted for! Dark…the highest level card and you think he would do something." So flushed with anger, I must not have looked where I was going because I slammed into someone on the next corner, nearly dropping my papers. But the other was not so fortunate. Her paperwork went everywhere. Wait…her? Oh, god, did I run into Jou?! Looking through the flurry of papers I saw Mystical Elf sitting on the floor, her pens and ink scattered. "I-I'm sorry." I said as I bent down to help pick up her work. "I didn't see where I was going…" Well, at least it wasn't Jounochi. I would never be able to forgive myself if I ran into her. I guess you could say I have a crush…on…
Anyway, getting back to the story…
Mystical blushed and quickly and bent over picking up her pens and ink. "N- no," she stammered. "I-I don't n-need help. I r-ran into y-you." Because of her position, she looked small, and something could trip over her easily.
"And then, he called out his second Blue eyes and…"
That voice could only mean one thing; Dark Magician. That joker is always talking about his encounters and battles. Always showing off to some other girl in the castle. Talk about self-centered! But he is my best friend and I don't know what I would out without him. However, I have noticed that Jou and Dark are getting close. Too close if you ask me.
"Wow! Really? Were you scared? It was a Blue eyes after all…"
JOUNOCHI!!!!!!!
Jounochi is here! Oh man…I hope she doesn't think I like Mystical! Speaking of which, that elf has been hanging around me so much lately…I think she really likes me. Everyone says that she does and by the way she's acting and blushing, and frankly, I'm starting to think it's true. But, I can hear Jou and Dark talking to each other coming down the hall. I wish I was there talking to her instead of Dark. But no. I have to be stuck with work, work, work. "Well, Dark, I'll race you to the council room!" Jou called. "C'mon and try to keep up!" Oh, crud…Jou doesn't know that Mystical is around the corner! Quickly, I called, "No, Jou, wait!" but I was too late. Jou can dashing around the corner and tripped over Mystical landing face first in front of me. "Ow!" she cried as she hit the ground. "Jou!" I called. "Are you all right?" I bent over Jou's forearm covering her head, and I could make out small sounds…like a puppy. "Jou!" Dark cried as he turned the corner, but didn't trip over Mystical. Mystical looked up and blinked. "Jou!" she cried getting up realizing what happened. "I'm sorry!" Oh crap, Jou hasn't moved. Dark swiftly knelt down as I pick her up. "Jou!" I cried as I held her, her face bent down so we couldn't see it. "Jou, are you all right?" I asked worriedly.
Then, Jou popped her face up, all smiles. Laughing, she giggled, "Well that was unexpected wasn't it?" Laughing as Mystical, Dark, and I all exchanged odd glances, she put a hand to her mouth a hid a giggle. Breathing a sigh of relief, I said, "Well, I'm happy to see you're all right Jounochi. But you did give up all a scare." Jou got up and leaned against the wall on her back. "Weeelll, I figure I could get a certain someone who will remain anonymous a little payback for a certain something they did earlier." She grinned looking at Dark. Blushing, Dark said nothing, but coughed and looked at me for help. Laughing, I smiled at Dark's helpless face. "She's got you now buddy." I teased. Mystical held a hand behind her mouth to be polite, but had to close her eyes to keep from laughing out loud.
Dark huffed and stood up. Changing the subject, he said, "So what was the big meeting about?" Standing up also, I said, "Oh, that. Well, once everyone is here, (we all know Summoned Skull will be late…he's made it a hobby of making everyone wait for an hour before the meeting actually starts) we can begin." Jou smirked and looked away. "Yeah, well, maybe we should cancel this meeting for once." I stared at her, with disbelief. Laughing, Jou giggled, "Now see? Even you can't stand to be late, even once." Dark laughed with her, and Mystical nodded happily. Grinning, I said, "Yeah, well, it's not like Summoned is going to do anything." Turning to Dark I said, "And it's not like you do anything around here either." Dark just made a rude noise and said, "I do to! Just…I have things to do." Elf ears and eyes are wonderful. They can see a bug blink in the night and they can hear a mouse sneeze in a storm. So naturally, I did catch the glance the Dark gave to Jou when he said, "Things to do." Snickering silently to myself, I said, "I bet they're so important. I do hope you get your issues straight." Dark gave me a quick glare and asked, "So what's the meeting about?" Getting into my what Jou calls, "all- business-mode," I stood up and said, "We're having a visitor. Her name is Harpy Lady, the first."
***
Well, the introductions went smoothly. Harpy Lady got a guestroom in the castle, and she managed to "settle" down nicely. In my opinion, settling is not ripping off the satin curtains and destroying the bed sheets to make a nest out of them. Oh, well. I didn't say anything and so did no one else. Making Harpy mad, well, only a fool would do that. When Summoned threw a joke at her about her hair, she smacked him with her rose whip. Summoned was a stronger monster, so it didn't hurt him. However, it did two other things: one, it gave him a nasty rash on the top of his head, and two, it sent a clear message to the rest of us not to mess with her. But after that ordeal, she sat down and was nice to the rest of us, but something still bothered me about her. What she did made me very uncomfortable. She kept on glaring at Jou for no reason. Sure, she smiled when they met, but then she glared after her. Like Jou had something she wanted. And then, she kept on looking at Dark with a sort of hunger…like if she fell in lov-…but no. She knows that Dark cares for Jou. Everyone does. He makes unintentionally makes it so obvious to the rest of us. Always looking for her, shutting himself in his room and writing something on a note pad, and is always happy to see her.
Weird.
But I can't think about this now…I have loads of paper work to do…still.
Sighing, I picked up my pen, not noticing a figure behind me. "Um...Celtic?" a voice asked. Turing around, Mystical stood in the doorway, her green dress had been exchanged for a gold one that shimmered. Blushing a light blue, she said, "I-I wanted to check to see if you're all right…" Sighing softly to myself I nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. Just…" looking at the pile of paper on my oak desk, I said, "overwhelmed." Mystical held up a hand over her mouth and laughed politely. Looking around nervously, she muttered, "Well…I guess I better go…good night Celtic." "Good night Mystical." Turning back to my paperwork as Mystical closed the door, I gave a heavy sigh and put my pen down. I have issues to think of. I can't do work and think at the same time. I don't want to hurt Mystical. She is a wonderful girl…but I can't deny my heart either.
An hour or so later, another knock
"Come on in," I called. "It's open." Slowly, Gaia stepped in. Gaia is probably one of my best friend…next to Dark. But he's been acting so strange lately. Always asking where Mystical is, checking himself in a mirror for facial flaws…one time I caught him making muscles in his room in front of a mirror.
***
I was walking down the hall when I heard a strange sound…
"Grrr…"
"What in the world…?" Noticing that it was coming through Gaia's room, I thought he was hurt or something as the sounds continued. "Gaia, I'm coming!" I cried as I slammed the door open to see…
Gaia in a muscle shirt and spandex standing in front of a mirror with a shocked look on his face, his arms in a position that those, "rest-leers" Mr.
Joey and Tristan enjoy watching sometimes on "W, W, F."
Something I'd rather NOT think about.
***
Well, when he stepped through the door and said timidly asked, "Uh, Celtic?"
That confirmed that something was up. Since when has a fierce knight been afraid of anything, much less ask for something timidly? Gaia prides himself on being a high level card, and he makes sure everyone knows it. But his voice trembled and he fought very hard to keep his composure. Swiveling my chair around, I said, "Hey Gaia, what's wrong?" Stammering out, "N-nothing! N-nothing's wrong! Why would anything be?" Realized he was stuttering he looked away. "Did…did you see Mystical around anywhere?" Nodding, I said and getting suspicious, "Yeah, she just came through here. I think she's going back to her room. Why? Gaia, are you feeling all right? You've been acting very stiff lately." Gaia immediately turned to leave. "N-no reason!
I'm fine!" he said before half dashing out of the room.
How weird.
What in the name of master Yami is going on here?
