MQB: Hey all, sorry for the wait, I've been very busy with my work and this dreaded love triangle i compelled myself to be in. Man, I think I rewrote this chapter four times before it sounded perfect to me. So here's the next chapter, my longest one so far, enjoy.

P.s. I do not own love-writer's oc, Misty, Fairy Whisperings's oc, Midnight nor Dark Fox Tailz's oc, Zinnaux and of course, SRMTHFG but my little "angel" Haya is all mine.


Chapter Four

Mall Split

After dropping off the junk food at the Super Robot, the next thing on Haya's list was going to the mall. Shuggazoom only had one mall and with Spring Break there were a lot of sales going on and when there's a lot of sales, people would kick and punch to get the latest ninety percent off shirts or electronic to name a few.

With a glum face expression on his face, Antauri bit his lip when he saw how pack and rather crazy the mall was and they were only two feet in the building.

"Are you sure you want to shop here" he asked Haya but didn't get a respond.

He looks down to see Haya pressing buttons on her dark-blue cell while humming a happy tune.

"Do you mind putting your cell phone away for a minute, it nearly got us in trouble just a few minutes ago" he asked.

"I need to make a quick phone call" Haya said, "is that a crime"

"Well, no, it's not but-"

"Then would you mind giving me some space so I can talk to my friend without you breathing down my neck" she said.

"Fine, but you need to stop interrupting me, it's rude" he said.

Haya wasn't paying attention to him again and walked away from him so she could talk. Antauri sighs, "don't go off too far, stay where I can see you" he said.

Haya gave him an ugly look and waited for the person on the other line to pick up.

(Note: phone conversation, so when Haya is talking she's an H, Midnight is M and Zinnuax is Z)

M: hello?

H: Hey, Middy, what's happening.

M: Hey, nothing much I'm just in a bad mood.

H: Oh, yeah, I got a call from Zin about that little argument.

M: you did, huh . . . so what did little Zinny say about me.

H: something about you stealing his Play Station Portable.

M: that a big load of crap, he let me borrow it

H: there's a thing call borrowing and there's a thing where you keep it for nearly a month and a half.

M: yeah, he yelled at me about that but I told him it wouldn't be called stealing since he didn't give me the number of days to have it. Than he started yelling at me about me always stealing his stuff and blah blah blah

H: yeah I get the point but I'll tell you like I told him, don't let this stupid argument ruin our plans for tonight.

M: I won't, he will, but I won't.

H: if you say so but anyway, I need some help on this problem I'm having.

M: what's that

H: Bronze had errands to do so she stuck me with another babysitter again.

M: and let me take a wild guest, one is red and the other is green.

H: actually they ran off with their tails between their legs so the boring one name Aunt 'Tauri is babysitting me. And when I told Zin he laughed at me.

M: why did he laugh at you.

H: He said having someone like Aunt 'Tauri around is like hanging out with a much more boring version of Midnight.

M: (dead silence)

H: (laughs nervously) oh come on, you got to admit it's pretty funny.

M: (dead silence)

H: (hears a beep on her phone, check the caller I.D) well, speak of the devil, Zin is calling again.

M: put it on the three way connection.

H. (Push the button to have a three way connection.) Hi, Zin.

Z: Midnight, I know you're on the phone too, so give me back my PSP!!

M: you told me I can borrow it and what's this thing I heard about you comparing me to Antauri. You know I'm not like him.

H: well, so much for saying hi.

Z: well, like Antauri, you have black fur, claws, and likes to do very boring things and not to mention you two are a bit of a. . . . what was that word you use to describe him, Haya.

H. Stick in a mud

Z: there you go, (starts eating something and making loud crunching noises on the phone)

H: except you're much more fun to hang around with than Aunt 'Tauri, Middy, so don't get yourself in a bad mood.

Z: Middy not in a bad mood that's like saying you're a sweet little angel, Haya (continues to eat something)

H: I am a sweet little angel.

H/Z/M: (a few second of silence before bursting out laughing)

H: man, I crack myself up

M: what the hell is that crunching noise I keep hearing.

Z: that's just me, I'm just trying out some of these snacks

H: HEY, those snacks are for tonight, Zin, and you better not be eating my cookies and Cheetos

Z: Relax, I'm just eating a bag of this sour candy.

M: Those are my sour candy!!!

H: and I only bought one bag of that.

M: STOP EATING MY SOUR CANDY.

Z: (makes loud churching noises) mmm, such sweet sourness.

M: (growls) that was my sour candy.

Z: well, too bad.

M: I swear if I wasn't on the phone I would . . .

H: GUYS, SHUT UP, you will forget about the candy and the PSP for a second I have a problem.

M/Z: WHAT!!!

H: I have to get the stuff for the pranks but with Mr. Goody-good on my tail I won't be able too.

M: well, where are you two at.

H: the mall, and it's pack as hell.

Z: simple, find something to distract him and run off.

M: yeah, just run away for an hour or so then go look for him

Z: like I said, simple.

H: hmm . . . that gives me an idea

Haya hangs up her phone and spotted Antauri leaning against the wall and talking to his communicator. She raised an eyebrow and wondered whom he was talking to as she walked over to him. When she finally got past all the people that were coming in and out of the mall, she could hear him talking.

"I tried talking to her, Nova, but she always interrupts me or insult me by calling me odd names. I don't know what to do" Antauri said than noticed Haya was just two feet away from him. "I got to go, we're going to do some shopping at the mall" he said than turn off his communicator

(What is it with him and talking) Haya thought as she put her plan that was forming in her little head into action. With that she put on her best looking smile and looked up at the nearly stress out boring monkey, "I've been thinking my very dull, dull, dull babysitter"

"And what is that" Antauri asked, rasing an eyebrow from the sudden and rather happy smile of the cub's face.

"Well, I know you're a little tense about me getting hurt and running off and pretty much wrecking everything in my path so I'm going to show you this special store before I go on with my shopping" she said, grinning so wide Antauri could see her sharp, pearly white teeth.

"Where is it" He asked.

"Follow me and I'll show you but stay close, you can get lost in this mall and won't be seen or heard for days" she said, smirking.

Haya was right for one thing, the mall was so big it's hard not to get lost. Antauri was never a mall person for it being noisy with very rude people. He thought the Food market was bad but this is just ridicules. As he follows Haya, he scans through the stores only to see their window cover in "First Day of Spring Sales" and "80 to 90 percent off" poster. People were literally clawing, hitting and yelling at each other over clothes and shoes. Little kids crying because they ran out of the most popular toy of the year. Teens huddle together next to store with the looks and body movement of them planning to steal. Woman walking to one store to another with their husband or boyfriends carrying all the bags. To put it shortly, it was just one big mess.

"Be careful with that, it's very fragile" he heard a woman in front of him talking to her boyfriend.

The boyfriend was carrying a box to was so large he couldn't see where he was going. The next thing he saw was Haya snickering before biting the guy in the leg and gave him a quick tug. The young man falls over while accidently throwing the box in the air. The box hit the floor with a fatal glass shattering noise and the woman scream in shear horror. With the guy crying in pain for landing on his arm wrong, the woman ignores him completely and cradles the box while hearing the broken glass rattle.

Antauri nervously rushes over to Haya, who quickly took out her camera and took a snapshot, and scoop her up with his arm and walked away from the site before getting caught.

"Crying over glass objects that girl belongs in the nuthouse with Bronze's friend" Haya said,

Antauri sighs as he places Haya down and gives her a glum look, "that wasn't nice" he said.

"I know that" Haya said, smiling "but I found it rather funny"

"Why do you do mean things to other people" he asked.

"I don't know, it's amusing, fun, and plus I'm not much of a people person since I believe the citizens of this city are stupid weaklings expect for Bronze of course." she said, "so that's why I do what I do"

"That's not really a good answer for my question" he said.

Haya started to get annoyed, "what is it with you and questions?!" She asked again. "Because it seems that every time I answer them you never like them"

"I'm just asking because your childlike behavior is questionable"

"Childlike behavior?" Haya asked, a little offended, "I am not a child, I am more of an adult then any of these idiots"

"They don't go tripping people for no reason" Antauri said, calming while crossing his arms. "That's childlike behavior which you have. Now if you were really want to act like an adult you should be more polite and respectful to others."

Haya growls but suddenly smirk and swipe a strand of blue mane out of her eyes, "forget the store, I tried to do something . . . n-n-n . . . positive for you but you just have to ruin it for me"

"I didn't ruin it for you, I was just giving you some helpful advice"

"Well, I didn't ask for it and to me, you insulted me so I think I'm going to leave now"

"You can't go anyway without me" Antauri said, "that's the point of babysitting"

"Well, you stink as a babysitter" Haya said then in a blink of an eye she was gone.

Something hit the floor with a low clang as Antauri's eyes widened when the reality of Haya, the cub he was responsible for, vanish in thin air. "Oh shoot" he said, scanning his surrounding for any sign of the blue little fuzz ball. "Haya . . . Haya . . . this isn't funny . . . HAYA!!" he shouted, ignoring the stares he was getting from the people passing by.

Suddenly he heard the song by Coldplay playing and it was the same song Haya had on her cell phone. He looked down and spotted the cell phone vibrating on the floor with the name "Middy" on the collar I.D.

(She dropped her cell phone) Antauri thought as he picked it up from the floor and answer it. "Hello"

"Hello . . . Haya, is that you" Midnight asked on the phone.

"This is Antuari" the black monkey said.

"Oh Antauri . . . what are you doing with Haya's cell phone" he asked.

"She dropped it on the floor" Antauri, "but that's not the point, Haya ran off on me and I'm going to be in big trouble if I don't find her"

"Yeah...what a shame...well, I'm sorry I can't really help you even though I do know all the stores she likes to visit"

"Then would you mind telling me"

"I can't do that, Antauri" Middy said, "what kind of friend would I be if I tell on Haya"

"A great friend" Antauri said.

Midnight laugh and hangs up on him.

"Oh that's real mature, Midnight" Antauri said hearing the long beep noise on the other end of the phone line. He looks at the phone and tried to figure out how to use the high digital device. There was a picture of Haya and Bronze making funny faces set as a wallpaper which disappeared when he press the menu button. A list of things popped up which made him even more confuse and a little a shame of himself knowing he master all the technology and machining in the Super Robot but didn't know how to work a small cell phone. He open his helmet up (MQB: if Otto could do it I'm sure the others can too) and pulled out the piece of paper that had Bronze's number on it and stared at it for a moment.

The honest thing to do is call her and tell her Haya ran off but...when his health is on the line here it's best to save that in case he is really desperate. He place the phone and paper back inside his helmet and went on his way to search for Haya.


In less than a minute, Haya was already the other side of the mall laughing to herself for abandoning her babysitter. Well, it wasn't the first time she did that when she remember babysitter number three and eight. Poor three, still in the mental hospital and Eight living on another planet. The smell of food filled her nose when she turns another corner and realized she was in the Food court area.

It was jammed pack with people eating or taking a breather from all of their shopping. After looking around, Haya found an empty table and sat her back pack down and unzips it. She pulled out her camera, video camera, tape recorder and a small blue purse when she noticed her cell phone was missing.

"Oh crap, where's my cell phone" she said to herself while flipping her backpack upside down to make sure she didn't miss anything in it. Only her "To-Do-List" floated out of her back pack and she literally slammed her face on the table from her "one time only" stupidity.

Her self-sorrow didn't last long when she heard someone from the crowds heading toward her. She couldn't see who it was since there were too many people around but she could the person saying "excuse me," "pardon me," "watch where you are going"

There was a slight "oof" sound indicating she might have been pushed and soon Haya spotted a girl with a tray full of food in her hands falling front first toward her table. Haya quickly scoops all her "blackmailing" devices to her gem chest as the girl made contact with the table but was able to keep some of her balance to prevent to table to flip over.

The girl started to laugh and noticed Haya looking at her with an awkward face expression. "People don't know what the words "Excuse me" anymore" she said.

Haya continues to stare at her as she slowly loosens her grip on her "blackmailing" devices. She looks like her early or late teens with brown hair that had streaks of blonde highlights. Her eyes were blue that matches her bell-bottom jeans with a red T-shirt and sneakers. A medium size, black leather purse with a letter "M" on it was loop around her neck and left arm.

"You're hair is in your food" Haya said, calmly and pointed at the burger and fires with brown hair on top.

"Oh shoot" she said, grabbing her hair out of her food before sitting down at the table. "Look on the bright side, it could've been all over my T-shirt" she said, smiling.

The cub was slightly annoyed since she didn't ask the girl if she wanted to have a seat but she was too glum about her lost cell phone to care. "Do I know you" she asked.

"I'm sorry that was so rude of me to sit without even asking you" she said, smiling and giggling a bit. "You don't mind do you"

"A little but I don't care, they always say "even loners need some company once and in a while'" Haya said, dully while messing with her camera a bit. She smirks when she review the snapshots of the car pile up at the Food market"

"Thanks, by the way, my name is Mistique but you can call me Misty" she said.

"Nice to meet you, Sprinkles" Haya said, "my name is Haya but you can call me . . . Haya"

"That's Misty" Misty said.

"Hmm" Haya said, not really pay attention.

"So are you here all alone or did you get separated from your owner"

"I don't have an owner, I'm my own person or in my case cub" Haya said, she hates it when people see her as a pet.

"Wait a minute, now I remember" Misty said, "you're that little cub Bronze brought to our High School one time" she said.

"Yeah, that was for the Talent show" Haya said.

"Oh yeah, that's right and causing an uproar by booing all the contestants til they kicked you out." Misty said, "man, that was funny"

"Well, I'm glad you found it funny since I got in big trouble with Bronze and she took away my white chocolate chip and pecan cookies"

Misty grinned, "so where is Bronze anyway, I doubt she would let you be here alone"

"She's out doing errands and I just . . . ran way from my evil, annoying, mean babysitter" Haya said.

"Oh, is your babysitter that mean"

"Yes, mean and rude and annoying and always making fun of me and he stole my cell phone" Haya said, forcing her eyes to get all watery.

"Aww, I'm sorry to hear that" Misty said, "tell you what, let me finish my lunch and afterwards how about we go to the arcade or shop"

Haya wiped a false tear from her eyes as she hid her devilish smirk with her arm, "you really mean it"

"Yeah, it will help forget about you mean old babysitter for a bit"

Haya forces herself to give Misty a happy-go-lucky grin, "ok." She didn't really want to hang out with someone she hardly knows but she was bored and plus she could get the stuff she needed for later on. The only thing she was worrying about was her cell phone. Who knows if the Fun-Sucker is calling her friends or not.


Antauri's head was beginning to hurt from all the noise of the people and the fact that Haya's cell phone kept going off in his head. After getting a phone call five times in a row, he took the cell out of his helmet and had the idea of throwing the thing to the floor and smashing it into little pieces for a split second til it went off again. The caller I.D. said it was Zin that was on the other line so Autauri quickly answer it.

"Zin, tell me where Haya might go in a mall" Antauri said, without saying hello or hi.

"Antauri?" Zin asked, "how did you get a hold of Haya's cell"

"It doesn't matter, Haya ran off and I need to find her" Antauri said.

"And what gives you the right mind that I would tell you" Zin asked, chuckling a little bit.

"Because it's the right thing to do and plus if you don't help me I'll call Bronze and tell her that you help me find her little "angel"' Antauri said, which was so out of his character since what he did now was blackmailing. He hopes Haya wasn't rubbing off on him.

Zin sighs, "Haya is going to kill me but Bronze's wrath can be just as bad so there's really no way out. Haya's favorite stores are Hot Topic, Earthbound, the arcade, Radio shack, and the grooming place or and that one dollar store I forgot what it was call."

"Thanks Zin, for helping me" Antauri said.

"Whatever . . . Fun-sucker" he said, and quickly hangs up the phone.

"What" Antauri asked but only got the low beep noise.


Thirty minutes later:

"I never in my day see a person by so much stuff at the dollar store" Misty said, helping Haya carry six plastic bags.

"Yeah, but I feel like I'm in a shopping mood" Haya said, carrying another bag with her tail.

"But why would someone like you need: three bags of balloons, a dishwashing soap, a couple of boxes of color and black permanent markers, a lighter, three shavers, and tons of bags of fireworks"

Haya smirks, "that's classified"

"Oh" Misty said, "well, now that we finish want to go play some video games"

"Ooh, I love that one game call "House of the Dead,"' Haya said, "there's nothing better than shooting zombies"

"Never played that game before" Misty said, as they walked over to the arcade, "have you ever heard of the game call "Dance Dance Revolution"

"Yes, but I'm not much of a dancer" Haya said, "normally I would watch and wait for an opportunity to throw something at the person so they would mess up"

Misty gives her a nervous smile, "that's not very nice"

"But it's fun"

"True" she said.


Antauri raced out of the store Hot Topic and catch his breath. Never again will he venture into that dark gloomy place full of rock music and dark clothing and jewels.

"What kind of person would shop in that place" he asked, feeling all of his color running out of his fur.

He literally jumped three feet in the air when another hard core song started and he quickly took himself else since he didn't find Haya there. Antauri sign, he checked every bizarre store Haya likes and couldn't find her anywhere then he remembers he didn't check the arcade. That dreaded store that creates such a distraction for his "siblings" and Chiro from better things like training or going outside for some fresh air. Nevertheless, Antauri let out a big sigh and went off to find the arcade.


"I told you, you need to shoot away to reload the gun" Haya said, using the plastic blue gun to shoot the zombies on the video game screen. Due to her small size, Haya had to stand on a stool and use both of her paws to hold the gun since she didn't have any thumbs.

"I know but it doesn't seem to be working" Misty said, trying to reload the gun. "I think this plastic gun is broken"

"That usually happens, someone gets so upset that they slam the gun and it malfunction"

"And how would you know about that" Misty asked.

"I've done it before" Haya smirked.

They were on the last level of the game and they had to make this one count since they were out of quarters at the moment.

"Come, we just have to defeat this mutant spider and we'll win the game" Haya said.

"Die, you ugly zombie spider" Misty shouted.

Haya was literally tilting the stool til it was only standing on one leg. An unknown teenager walked by them without paying attention and bump his side against the stool. The stool falls to the floor but Haya manage to hang onto the gun's cord to prevent herself from hitting the ground.

"Oh my god, Haya, are you ok" Misty said, dropping her gun to pick the tiger up.

"Game over" the video game said.

"Darn, thanks to some stupid idiot we lost the game" Haya said, sitting on top of the controllers and blocking the screen that was flashing the "game over" sign.

"Don't worry, we just need to get more quarters and we can start all over" Misty said, with a bright smile.

Haya sighs, "I doubt they can break a hundred-dollar bill"

"Man, Bronze is loaded" Misty muttered to herself as she searches through her medium size purse and pull out two dollars. "Here get some more quarters"

"Wow, you really don't mind using your money" Haya asked.

"No, after all, that's what you do in a mall, spend money"

Haya made a very, very, very small smile as she walked over to the nearest change machine. This "Sprinkle" girl wasn't that bad of a person and surly a lot smarter than the people she has to deal with everyday.

Too distracted with her judging thoughts, Haya was about to hop on top of the change machine to the dollar bills in it when two metal arms grabbed her by her side. A word barely escapes her mouth as she was pulled in and clasps in a tight hold by no other than her babysitter.

"What are you doing, let me go" Haya said, struggling from Antauri's grip.

"And let you run away like the last time" Antauri said, "do you have any idea how worry I was about you" he said.

"Let me go, let me go, I can walk by myself" Haya said, rasing her voice a little.

"No, now we're leaving I think we had enough of the mall for today"

"I have things back in the arcade, I need them" Haya yelled, "LET ME GO"

Antauri noticed people were staring at him from all the directions and from the arcade. Misty couldn't see because she was in the back but she could hear Haya's voice and force herself through the crowd.

"LET ME GO!!" Haya shouted, "or by golly, you're going to regret ever being born"

"Stop shouting Haya, you're making a scene.

A dark shade of blue flooded the light color shade of Haya's eyes as two strands of hair from her mane shot up as horns. She smirks causing shivers to run down Antauri's spine, "you want a scene, I'll give you a scene"

"Haya, don't" Antauri said, but it was too late.

Haya rammed her body against and with all her might she kicked him in the stomach to release herself from his grip than screamed.

"OW, HE BIT MY LITTLE ARM, HE BIT MY LITTLE ARM, THE BAD MONKEY BIT MY LITTLE ARM.!!!!" she shouted, with tears pouring down her cheek while pointing at Antauri. "FIRST HE TRIES TO KIDNAP ME THEN HE BIT ME IN MY LITTLE ARM."

"Haya, what are you doi-" Antauri didn't finish his sentence when a medium size purse smacks him across the face.

"Get away from her, you rapid monkey" Misty shouted and smack him again with her purse. The impact flings Antauri to a small crowd of angry old ladies and woman. He tried to speak again only to be smack in the back of the head by an old lady's purse. Soon, all the women from the small crowd join in.

"How dare you harm a sweet little cub!" One woman said, angrily

"You monster!" Another one said.

"See how you like it being picked on by someone bigger than you"

Antauri tried to escape from the crowd and purses, but Misty stopped him by stomping on his tail and smack him with her purse and send him flying back to the angry mob.

"Haya was right, you are a big, mean babysitter." Misty said, "what did she ever do to you"

"Haya, make them sto-" Antauri was hit again in the face. What in the world do they keep in their purses he thought.

Behind her fake tears and pretend injury, Haya watched the abuse the black monkey was getting and chuckled as she brought her camera out again. . .


MQB: I thought about making Misty one of Haya's target of torture but even Haya would like to have a few friends too. And if you find the part of Antauri getting beaten with purses mean, rude, and cruel . . . I'm sorry.

To love-writer: if I made Misty a little OOC, I'm sorry, this is my first story where I'm using other people's Oc's and it's hard to make sure they stay in character. And I'm sorry if you didn't like Misty beating Antauri up. Look on the bright side, Misty will return later on in the story.

Also, Hot Topic is a great store, yes, I made fun of it, but that was inspired by my cousin's experiences going in to the store for the first time. I don't know what he saw that made him so afraid of that store. Last, the "House of the Dead" game is a great game to play, my friend and I nearly beat it but we lost and didn't have any quarters left over.

Next Chapter: Silent Lunch: Antauri and Haya have lunch with Tiger Priestess's Xel, Kai, and Eclyps and why is Haya's cheek suddenly so red.

Please Review and I'll try to update much sooner.
