Well, I have to say: I love all you guys! You wait so patiently for my updates (some more than others) and leave nice reviews. I really enjoy writing this story knowing that people like this story! Thankee-sankee!

----------------------------------

xChibiTenshix: I like Hiei too! He may be an emotionless teme sometimes, but he's still cool. As for the Frying Pan, it's a multi-tasker! Amy mainly uses it for bopping people on the head, but it can be used for cooking too!

wingsofire: I love kitties! They're my absolute favorite animal! They just so cute and cuddly and…I could keep going for a long time.

Phantom'sAngel89: Well, I can't tell you, because it would spoil the story. So, you'll just have to read the chapter. Also, Alviss and Phantom kitty are available for loans!!

MarHeavenAngel: I know I said that I hate cliffhangers too, but I really wanted to get Chapter 10 up on the site as soon as possible after such a long wait. I'll try not to do that anymore.

-------------------------------------

Summary: There's this mysterious girl who has joined the War Game. She has no affiliation with any group, and she seems to be a woman on a mission. Who exactly is she and why does she intrigue everyone so, especially Alviss, Phantom, and Rolan?

-----------------------

Pairings: OC x Alviss/Phantom/Rolan (pairing decided later) & Ginta x Snow

Cookie – Yesssssss…Now that the pesky author is out of the way, I now own MÄR and all of its characters!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Ginta – She's talking in her sleep again!

(Scene reveals Cookie snoring in a bed while clutching Phantom kitty who is desperately trying to get away)

Jack – She knows she doesn't own us or our ÄRMs! She just owns Amy!

Ginta- I think…WE SHOULD DRAW ON HER FACE!!

Jack – YEAH!!!

Chapter 11: ...Whoa

Recap:

Suddenly, a cloud of dust was all that was left of Amy as she sped down the hallway trying to escape the two maniacs. She took a left and then hid behind a pillar while they ran (or in Bell's case, flew) in the direction they saw Amy run in. She sighed in relief as she watched them speed down the hallway. In her relief, she didn't notice a hand emerging from the darkness until it covered her mouth and pulled her into the darkness.

: End Recap

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was all that was going through Amy's mind as she was dragged back farther and farther into the darkness. NOT AGAIN!!! Didn't I just get through with this?! She began jerking her arms around and finally managed to crack the kidnapper on the skull.

"ITAI!"

Eh? That voice sounds familiar…She then looked over her shoulder and laughed nervously. It was….

….

Pause for a moment of silence….

And for effect—OUCH!! STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME!!!

ALRIGHT!! I'LL GET ON WITH IT!!!!

Anyways…

It was Tom. He was on the ground clutching his head in pain and looking very much the same as before. "Tom!" Amy ran forward and glomped the poor boy and knocked him over. She then sat up on the ground and began firing questions at him.

"What are you doing here? Weren't you in Vestory? How is it? Did you come to watch the War Game? Why were you hiding in the darkness? Why did you drag me into the darkness? Are you trying to seduce me?"

That last question was asked with a glare and greeted with a sweatdrop. He scratched his cheek nervously and then began answering. "Well…in order, I came to cheer for you guys, Vestory is doing much better, I wasn't hiding, I wanted to surprise you and…no, I'm not trying to seduce you." The poor boy was looking a little frightened at the girl's abrupt question asking and cringed when Amy reached forward. She patted him on the head and said, "I'm sorry if I scared you. It's just…I was surprised, that's all. I've already been kidnapped once today." A strange glint appeared in Tom's eyes before worriedly asking, "Really?! Are you alright?" Amy nodded energetically. She then smiled gently. "So, how are you Tom?" Tom smiled back and they launched into an easy conversation. "I'm doing very well, thank you. And what about yourself?" Amy beamed and replied, "I'm doing really well! So…are you looking for Ginta?" Tom nodded gingerly. "Yes…do you know where he is?" Amy shook her head. "I thought I heard him earlier…but I can't hear him anymore…" She then gasped dramatically. "I heard Gaira-san over there as well! Maybe…he kidnapped him too!!!" Tom waved his hands frantically in an attempt to calm down the paranoid teen. "I-I'm sure that Gaira-san wouldn't do that…" Amy blinked owlishly at Tom before breathing deeply. "You're right. I'm sorry for freaking out." The two teens then sat in silence on the stone floor. Tom then shyly murmured, "You know, you're different than the other girls." Amy blinked and then grinned. "Thanks!" Tom chuckled and shook his head in disbelief. "You really are special…" Amy frowned, "What's that supposed to mean?" He waved his hands reassuringly. "Nothing!!" He then muttered once she turned away, "Nothing of your knowledge anyway…"

Amy – Yeah, what are you implying Ginta?

Ginta – I didn't say anything!

Amy – Don't play dumb!!

Cookie – I'm surrounded by morons…

-----------------

Time Skip to next morning:

Amy stretched out near Nanashi, Dorothy and Snow as they prepared to go to the Desert Field. How'd I get back to my room? I remember talking to Tom…where is he? Pozun was announcing to the crowd about the four fighters and how they were all different from yesterday and one person was less than pleased with the arrangement.

"Why do I have to sit out?!" Alviss was angrily glaring at the carefree Nanashi. He gave a toothy grin as he answered, "C'mon, Al-chan! You had your fun yesterday! Now it's our turn!!" Alviss then asked, "Where are Ginta and Jack? They never showed up." Amy then seriously stated, "I knew it. Gaira-san kidnapped them." Team MÄR stared at the crazy girl before Dorothy smiled cheerfully and said, "They're probably just training. Relax!!" Snow gave a peace sign before saying, "Leave it to us! Ed, aren't you coming out?" The poor dog then entered his Corner of Woe© as he explained, "Um…you see, I have had trouble sleeping lately…" The Team (and Amy) sweatdropped before regaining their cool. Pozun stepped forward and nervously avoided eye contact with the violent teen. "Well, I shall now transport you to the next battlefield. Are you ready?" At their nods, he held out a finger with a ring on it.

"Andarta! To the Desert Field!"

I hate heat…was all that went through Amy's head as they went towards their fight.


Sorry it's so short, but I have to go somewhere and I promised someone that I'd put a new chapter up today. So…please review and thankee-sankee for reading and waiting!
