Mami sighed

Oh, if you were confused then, that's nothing. You could get more confused here, but I have tried to make sense. Thanks. Also, I was wondering if anyone would approve of me writing in these categories : Romance, and then a really, really depressing story. (And I want to see how many people would like it. I'm still gonna write them.)

Mami sighed. What was a Maverick doing? Mami shrugged and went to first period.

"JEFFY!"

Mami was run over by a blonde girl.

"JEFFY!!!!!!!!"

"Help…" Mami whimpered, trying to doge out of the way.

The teacher watched the three. Finally, she asked, "What's your name, dear? We're in Spanish."

The girl smiled, then replied with, "I'm Death."

"What's your name?"

"Death!"

"Okay then, 'Death', have a seat over there, by Mami."

Something flickered in Death's eyes. "Very well," she said, sitting down.

When the bell rang, Mami was the first to get out.

Cody was back at her locker. "uh… Cody," she said, "thanks."

Cody was astonished, his mouth hanged open, but he muttered a "You're welcome," before leaving.

Sarah watched. "Gee, Mami, why didn't you do that from the start?"

"Because I had nothing to be thankful from him in the start."

She saw X. "X!! You painted your face!"

X was thankful for once that he had the makeup on, for she wouldn't see him blushing. "Yeah. I did."

Mami grinned, then went back to her locker, pulled out her gym clothes, and ran to the gym.

Airhead was showing off again.

"Ah, the life of Jocks," Sarah muttered. "He's hot."

Mami rolled her eyes. "As if."

"He is!"

Mami rolled her eyes again.

The coach explained to them that they were playing softball today. Great, Mami thought.

"Ohimigod!" Sarah exclaimed. "Here he comes!"

The girls, except for Mami, stood up straight.

During the softball game, Mami couldn't help but think who was waiting. Who had big teeth, red eyes, and a gun?

Her first thought: Wheel Gator. Second thought: Oh, shoot.

Wheel Gator was not someone she wanted to meet.

The ball flew in her direction, breaking her thoughts. She lifted her hand up and caught the ball. She looked to see who had hit it.

Zack. He was mad.

She looked at the ball, then tossed it to the pitcher.

So what? She thought. He's a jock. He'll manage.

Damn it! Zero thought. Why does she always seem to ruin my life? Why did she have to catch that ball? Why can't she be like the other human girls, running from the ball? Why?

He wanted to kick her, hit her, beat her up-If she hadn't disappeared so suddenly.

The coach noticed, too. "MAMI!!! GET BACK HERE!!" she yelled.

No answer.

"She was right there," Erika muttered. "Hey, where's Death?"

Zero suddenly went into shock. He picked up Erika by the shirt. "Did you say, 'Death'?" he demanded.

"Yes," Erika whimpered. "Zack, what's wrong?"

"EVERYTHING!!!! Run inside, now! Get X!" he yelled.

The teacher and kids obeyed. They ran in like it was the rest of their life.

X came out as well. "What?" he asked.

"Death's got Mami!"

"No!"

"Yes! Would I lie?"

"Yes, actually."

Zero hit X on the head.

"Death!" X yelled. "Show yourself!"

There was a laughing. "I am," a female voice said. "You are in my world, now. And it is your death now."

Mami appeared beside them as the world began to spin. "Will you stop saying now?" she yelled into the dark abyss.

Zero jumped. "That hurt," he whined.

"Oh my god, Airhead. That's too bad." Zero fought the urge to kill Mami then and there.

"Quit it, you too. Mami, what the hell do you have to do with this?"

Mami never answered, for the world spun to a stop, and they were in a cave. "Let me guess. There's a skeleton around here somewhere."

"Over there," Zero replied. "How would you know?"

"It happens all the time in movies. Who is this Death, anyway?"

X and Zero exchanged glances, causing Mami, to again open her mouth. "Gee, I wonder what you two are hiding from me. I'm not stupid. Let me guess. She's a powerful Maverick, who indeed fits her name, and you two are the most famous hunters on the planet, and must stop her. Am I right?"

"Zero?"

"Yes, X?"

"WHY THE HELL ARE WE RUNNING AROUND AS STUPID FREAKN' KIDS WHEN AT LEAST ONE WITH A BIG MOUTH-" at this point, Mami considered her choices of killing X carefully, "KNOWS WHO WE ARE?!?!?"

Zero seemed to take this into deep thought, then, to Mami, "if you breath one word of this I'll kill you."

"Sure. I mean, it's bad enough Mavericks want me, now hunters, okay, but, you know…" her voice trailed off, and they began walking in silence, her words getting to the two Hunters.

Zero couldn't take it any more. "What do I know?"

Mami grinned, and knew that this was coming. "Well, because your faces have been printed all over the front page and stuff, anyone with half a brain in our school should know who you are. Therefore, it's not a problem."

X watched her in shock. "Are you dissing your school?"

"Yes, actually. I am. X, your face looks funky in red and blue."

Vile entered the wonderful lair of Sigma. It had the foul stench of death in the air. He imeditately assumed who had been there.

"I delivered the message, Sir."

"Good," Sigma said. "It is hard to track the Fifteen down. They are too human-like. My mistake."

"These Fifteen, do they have something important?"

"Ah. Good question. You do not underestimate me. Yes. Each is some element. The question is, which one is this Mami?"

"I do not know, sir. She is almost totally convincing. Have we got the right one?"

"Of course!" Sigma snapped. "Yes, she's the one. But what's her element…" His voice trailed off. "Oh well. Death's going to find that out."

What'll happen next? Think. Not hard, don't stress your brains. –Emerald Mami!!!!
