Invisible Touch
Chapter 12
In Egypt, Anjel searched the underground city for a place to live. Chaos wasn't much help being that he now became silent. From out of the blue, Shadi approached the two. He greeted the blonde, "Hello, Anjel. I see you wish to stay here in Egypt. Am I right?"
Anjel nods, "That's right, Shadi. I can't stay at my home country. My uncle will find me. And to be frank, I think he's angry at me."
"I know. I was there when he dragged you out of a place. I must say he's very cruel to you. Years ago, he cared for you, but now his actions are unruly. You're lucky you left town right away. Come with me; I have a place you can stay."
Anjel follows Shadi. Along the way, Chaos oddly looks at Shadi. The white-cloaked male stops, "I notice you have the Magician of Black Chaos as a guardian."
Anjel explains, "Oh, he's an android. Don't worry, he won't hurt you."
"Very well. I will be sure to tell the other people about this dark mage. Tell me does he talk?"
"Yes, but I don't know why he's so quiet all of a sudden. I guess he's shy."
"I understand."
Shadi continues the way. During the walk, Anjel tries to get the dark mage to speak, "Chaos, what's the matter with you? Why are you being so quiet?"
"This place is creepy," Chaos replies in a shaky voice. "I'm scared of the dark."
Shadi stifles a laugh, "I never heard of a dark mage being afraid of the dark."
"It's my fault for cloistering him in my brightly lit home," Anjel frowns. "All of my androids are raised in a bright atmosphere."
"I see. Not to worry, I have plenty of torches."
Anjel comforts the dark mage, "Y'see, Chaos, there's nothing to worry about."
Shadi would chat more, but something in his mind told him not to talk anymore. Another subject would only make Anjel panic. Besides from that, he knew why Anjel is here to stay in Egypt. He smiled and proceeds. Three hours later, he stops at a door, "This is where you'll live for now. Make yourself at home, and I'll be back with more torches."
Shadi left to get more torches, while Anjel and Chaos entered the room. It looked very plain considering it only had one bed, a table with a chair, and a window. Anjel sets her laptop on the table and her suitcases on the bed. Chaos cringed in an empty corner. Almost immediately, she began to check her website.
Later that day, Shadi returns with a few torches. As he is setting them up in place, he began to talk to Anjel, "So, Anjel, how long do you plan to stay?"
"I'm not sure," Anjel shrugs. "I just have to be away from my uncle until I know it's safe to go home."
"Anjel, not to be poking into your business, but for what reason are you here other than getting away from your uncle?"
Anjel mutters half a sentence as she was looking down at the floor. Shadi blinks, "Excuse me?"
"...I came here to escape my troubles."
"Fortunately, you can't run from one problem. I know you're hiding something. Whatever you say, I'll keep it to myself."
"I'm pregnant."
"Is that all? Who's the father?"
"Seto Kaiba."
Shadi smirks, "Anjel Kaiba. Odd ring to it, but it suits you. Did you tell him about it?"
Anjel clutches her shirt, "No, I'm afraid to tell him. What if he hates the idea of having a child so soon?"
"That's not for me to say. You have to explain it to him. If he cares for you, he'll listen to you no matter what."
Meanwhile, at Anjel's mansion, Dark trembles seeing seven cards he hasn't seen. For an android, Dark cannot possibly know a thing about the game. He paces back and forth trying not to think about the cards and drinking.
Ten minutes later, Seto stops by. Surprisingly enough, he caught the magician opening a bottle of wine. "A-ha!" the CEO cries out, "I knew it! You sent me over here for one of your drinking episodes."
Dark smashed the bottle, "For your information, I didn't sip a drop. That was for one of Annabelle's recipes. Thanks to you, I have to get another bottle from the cabinet."
Annabelle ducked her head to spot a broken bottle on the floor, "Dark, you clumsy fool, I told you to hurry up with the wine. I should start calling you butterfingers."
"Not now, Annabelle, I have to show our guest something." The magician turns to the CEO, "Follow me."
Dark leads Seto to the livingroom. On the coffee table, seven of Anjel's cards were displayed. Seto took one glance and fell to his knees. "I don't believe this," he chokes, "Anjel told me the seven cards were one of a kind. She lied to me!"
He stands up fast. "Dark, where does Anjel keep her computer?"
Dark pointed to a door, "In there."
So, in a fit of anger, Seto storms into the computer room. He sat down, signs up online and IMs Dancing_Elf_16. He waits for a response.
Dancing_Elf_16: Who is this? Why did you IM me?
White_Dragon_19: This is Seto! Who am I speaking to?
Dancing_Elf_16: .................
Dancing_Elf_16: Anjel. What in hell do you want?
White_Dragon_19: I'm very angry with you. Why did you tell me the cards you gave me were one-of-a-kind when I saw another set just like it?
Dancing_Elf_16: You went in that closet without my permission?! }:( You ought to be ashamed of yourself for going through my personal things!
White_Dragon_19: It wasn't me. Dark was the one with your cards.
Dancing_Elf_16: I'm never speaking to you ever again!! This engagement is off permanently. Stay away from my house, stay away from my androids, and stay away from me and your child!!
Anjel signed off. Seto sat there reading that last sentence. The last word caught his attention. A child?? Anjel is pregnant? Outside the room, Shadi appears and grabs the seven cards on the coffee table. Dark glanced at the white-cloaked stranger and passed out. With a smirk, Shadi vanished with the cards.
Somewhere in Domino City, Joey, Bakura, and Tristan waited outside while Yugi and Tea went shopping at the store. "How long do you think they'll be in there?" the blond exhales from boredom.
"Forever," Tristan answers in a monotone voice.
"This bites!" Bakura spat. "I wanna go home and jack with Ryou."
"Why? You jacked with Anjel."
"I wasn't talking about her. I was talking about Ryou. I'm sick of waiting for Sonic and Princess Sally, I'm sick of hanging out with you dweebs, and I still can't understand why people keep kicking me in the ass and laughing at my expense."
Joey and Tristan snickered. Five minutes later, Seto walks by and noticed the sign on Bakura's back. Before he had a chance to open his mouth, Joey secretly gestures the CEO not to say a word about the sign. Tristan finally responds, "Bakura, stand up for a minute and face me."
Monkey see, monkey do! Bakura did what Tristan said and is kicked in the ass. He cries out in pain as he fell on the concrete ground. Seto laughs at his expense and walks away. Bakura sighs and climbs up to the bench. "See? Even that ignorant bastard kicks me in the ass, and I'm not sure why he did it in the first place."
"Your chemistry is probably off," Joey lied.
Tristan brought up another subject, "Do any of you know someone identified as Dancing_Elf_16?"
Joey blinks a few times and answers, "I chatted with that person before. I only did it because of a complaint of a product my sister used on her face. It turned her face purple."
"She's still purple?"
"We've tried everything so far. There's still no response from that person."
"Is there anyone else who knows Dancing_Elf_16?"
Ishizu passed by and is stopped in her tracks by Joey. The blond asks, "Excuse me, Ishizu, we were talking about someone identified as Dancing_Elf_16. We're wondering if you know who it is."
The dark-haired female nods, "I believe I do, but I'm not a blabbermouth. I will however give you a hint. This person is a female and manufactures makeup, skin care products, and hair dye."
"That's it? You're some help! Send my regards to Marik! I hope he is beaten to a bloody mess!" the tomb robber yells.
"Hmph!" Ishizu walks away.
"Bakura!" Joey suddenly had the urge to kick him in the nuts. "Why is it that whenever someone like Ishizu comes along you push her away?"
"She can't defend herself when it comes to fighting with words, she has a lame brother chasing after a slut who has a disgruntled uncle, and I can't think of a better way to keep my sanity. I can't help but keep talking so I'll know my heart is still beating." Bakura crosses his arms.
"I don't know why Yugi kept you in this group."
"Why does Kaiba chase after Anjel?"
"He's nuts. He's just after her so he can hump her to death."
Tristan chuckles, "Tell me, Joey, did you ever catch them in the act?"
"No, I'm not a pervert. I caught them once getting it on in a dark alley, but I don't think Anjel enjoyed herself." The blond turns his back to his friend, "I think she was raped, but I can't be sure."
From behind the crowd, Seto overheard the conversation. The last sentence made his face turn red.
"...I don't know; maybe it was from the time I was loaded," Joey continued. "I did get to find her place, snuck inside and grooved with her while she was asleep."
Seto's hand balls up into a fist.
"You scored with Anjel?" Tristan's interest reached to its highest peak.
Joey nods with pride, "Yup! She's easier in bed considering she doesn't wear panties or a bra. The only thing to cover her body is the sheets."
Bakura laughs, "No panties? What a slut!!"
Seto's fury rises from every confession Joey told.
"Tell me, Joey, did she moan and scream?" the tomb robber continues.
"She screams when hitting her tender spot. I think the only time she moaned is with Kaiba." the blond spoofed.
The three teens laughed. Finally, Seto attacks Joey like a wildcat. Clawing and strangling Joey, Seto said some words that were to make a thousand sailors blush with shame; however, most of the words were incoherent. Bakura heard most of the words before, but when Seto yelled all of the profanities, he cowers and hides behind the bench. Yugi and Tea came out of the store finding Joey being clawed to death by the CEO. Quickly, Yugi grabs one of Seto's arm, and Tristan grabbed the other avoiding the blood dripping from the fingertips and nails. Joey's face was scratched to a bloody mess, his neck turned purple, and his clothes were torn and soaked with blood at the upper regions of his body. "What are you staring at?" the blond asks in a mild tone.
Seto came to his senses and looks at the blond, "Huh?"
Joey was standing and isn't covered in blood or bruised. It turned out that the CEO was daydreaming. "Huh?" the blond mocks. "We're talking to you, but you were in a daze."
"What is it?"
"We wanted to know if you're planning on marrying Anjel when she gets back."
"Maybe, but I just chatted with her online and the odds of that is slim."
"You had a fight again? Kaiba, what's the matter with you?"
"She lied to me about the seven cards."
"It doesn't matter. That's what she expected from you: retalliation. You react to her charades, she gets the upper hand."
"I don't believe what talking dogs say. I'll believe when I consult the cheshire cat."
The CEO continues his way home. Joey growls wanting to beat his brains out for calling him a dog. It's bad enough Anjel calls him Dogman.
"Now I see what he has in common with her. They use those damn dog jokes," the blond spat.
Tristan raises a brow, "I didn't know she called you a name."
"She calls me Dogman like I'm Inuyasha or something."
"You act like him," Bakura pointed out.
Joey scoffs, "You have to stop watching TV. First you talk about the kid that plays an electric guitar and now you're using references from the TV."
Bakura frowns, "That kid is named Gitaroo Man, and for your information I happen to like watching Inuyasha. If you don't like it, then hush your mouth. The last thing I want is someone bitching at me."
"I don't care. If you want to leave then do it. I'm sure you can bitch at that cupcake who calls himself a man."
"Gitaroo Man is not a cupcake!"
Tristan protests, "I hate to tell you this, but he is a cupcake. With those rosey cheeks, you could tell he's queer."
"He likes girls like other straight males," the tomb robber interjected.
"You didn't go to the website then. The game you play is edited for reasons. I can assure you Gitaroo Man is G-A-Y!"
"It's a lie! You're just saying this so I can go home."
Joey shakes his head, "It's not a lie. We checked into that website. In the game, he appears to like Pico and Kirah, but the uncut clip shows that Gitaroo Man was having a secret affair with Zowie....kinda."
"You're making this up," Bakura growls.
"No I'm not. That was just the first clip. Another clip shows the two of them making out before Stage 7 begins. Wait, that scene was implied."
"I heard enough out of you two. I'm going home." Bakura stands up and storms off. Along the way, people kicks him and laughs at his expense.
In Egypt, Anjel had fallen asleep. Chaos balled up trying not to doze off for the room was still dimly lit. Seven hours have passed and Anjel is still sound asleep. Chaos looks down at the floor and sees a huge tarantula crawl up to him. Chaos stiffens in fear hoping the eight-legged creature would go away. Instead, it got closer to the dark mage. Like a cat, Chaos dashed away from the spider. Later, the tarantula follows. Chaos chokes finally standing on a chair and screaming. Anjel awakens from the screaming. She noticed the spider and screams as well for she is afraid of spiders no matter what size they are. Shadi hears the screaming and rushed into the room. Seeing the two afraid of a spider made him laugh. He retrieves the eight-legged insect carefully to avoid getting bitten. "I see you found Susan," he smiles.
Anjel, still shakened, bit her bottom lip, "I can't stand the sight of a spider. They frighten me."
"I understand. Most people are afraid of spiders."
"She wasn't the only person afraid of spiders," the dark mage replies, "especially when the room is dimly lit."
Anjel covers herself with the sheets. Shadi looks up and froze on the spot to discover the blonde being nude. "Anjel, where are your clothes?" he asked.
The blonde gasps, "You dare to look at me in my indecency? What are you doing looking at me anyway?"
"Forgive me. I know it seems very strange of me to ask you this, but I must know why you're not dressed."
"I can't sleep with clothes on. They make me sweat."
"Put them back on. Y'know, somebody can just walk in and take advantage of this situation. If they make you sweat, sleep on top of the sheets."
"I can't get dressed because my clothes are over there, and you're in here. I can't dress with people looking at me."
"Why are your clothes over there?"
"I had a disagreement with Seto. He thinks he can just meddle into my business while I'm here. I explained to him that he has no right to go through my things and then I dumped him. If he ever sets foot in my mansion, there'll be so much trouble."
"You dumped him? But you can't just dump him like that..."
"Who are you to judge me?"
"Okay, forget I said anything."
Shadi leaves the room. Anjel mumbles to herself as she is getting dressed. Chaos looks at the object on the table and grabs it. It was a tube of lipstick. It was a black color to bring out the person's lips. Anjel had her back turned for one moment, and already she hears the top opening. She figured it was nothing to worry about. Chaos twists the middle enough to apply. Curiously, he puts on the lipstick. Anjel buttons up her nightgown and turns to the dark mage. She takes one glance and begins to laugh. "Chaos, why are you wearing lipstick?" she asks trying not to laugh.
"I was curious," the dark mage answers unsurely.
"You silly mage! You're not supposed to wear it. Women can wear lipstick without getting any funny looks."
"It's not fair. How come women can wear makeup?"
"So they'll look beautiful. If men wore makeup, I'm sure gay men would do more than compliment on how they look."
"Oh! If I was a woman, how would I look?"
"Pretty. But for now, you have to take off the lipstick."
"Yes ma'am."
Anjel pulls out a tissue and wipes the black lipstick off. As she was doing that, she had to say something, "Chaos, can you keep a secret?"
The dark mage nods, "Yeah. What is it you wanna tell me?"
"Between you and me, I miss Seto already."
"Why don't you tell him how you feel?"
"I can't. Part of me is still miffed, but the other is dying to tell him how much I need him. If I tell him, he'll rub it in my face. I have my pride to protect, y'know."
"May I ask what that other part is?"
"I can't forget how he flattered me when he serenaded me that day I left the hospital. I can't forget the one moment he cared for me. I....I must really care for him then. I was too stubborn and full of myself to even tell him how I felt."
"Email him, Anjel. You'll never know until you try."
"I don't think I can. After what I said, he won't step foot in the mansion."
"If your relationship is going just fine, then how come you retalliate from one little thing?"
"I guess I still don't trust him. I haven't been able to trust anyone, except my creations, ever since my uncle got away with raping me."
"And you did what you always did. You ran, instead of going to the police."
"I can't run to anyone else. You and the others at the mansion are my family."
"That's not exactly true. You still have an uncle no matter what he did to you."
"I disowned him. I now create androids to replace my losses. You're built to act like a father to me, Annabelle is programmed to be my beloved mother, Dale is supposed to be like a younger brother to me, and Dark is to be my older brother. I've recently created an android to act like my uncle, but there were complications. He didn't behave properly."
"What do you mean by not behaving properly?"
"He acted oddly like a seven-year-old child. If he is activated, the results could be fatal."
"What would happen?"
"He may explode or malfunction and forget who I am. That's a risk I can't take."
"Are you building another android for to be your aunt?"
"I'm thinking about building one to act like her. I was thinking of creating a Mystical Elf. After all, she was the first spellcaster I've seen when I was little."
"Why don't you build her now? You carried the parts all the way here."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll begin building the Mystical Elf."
To be continued...........
Chapter 12
In Egypt, Anjel searched the underground city for a place to live. Chaos wasn't much help being that he now became silent. From out of the blue, Shadi approached the two. He greeted the blonde, "Hello, Anjel. I see you wish to stay here in Egypt. Am I right?"
Anjel nods, "That's right, Shadi. I can't stay at my home country. My uncle will find me. And to be frank, I think he's angry at me."
"I know. I was there when he dragged you out of a place. I must say he's very cruel to you. Years ago, he cared for you, but now his actions are unruly. You're lucky you left town right away. Come with me; I have a place you can stay."
Anjel follows Shadi. Along the way, Chaos oddly looks at Shadi. The white-cloaked male stops, "I notice you have the Magician of Black Chaos as a guardian."
Anjel explains, "Oh, he's an android. Don't worry, he won't hurt you."
"Very well. I will be sure to tell the other people about this dark mage. Tell me does he talk?"
"Yes, but I don't know why he's so quiet all of a sudden. I guess he's shy."
"I understand."
Shadi continues the way. During the walk, Anjel tries to get the dark mage to speak, "Chaos, what's the matter with you? Why are you being so quiet?"
"This place is creepy," Chaos replies in a shaky voice. "I'm scared of the dark."

"It's my fault for cloistering him in my brightly lit home," Anjel frowns. "All of my androids are raised in a bright atmosphere."

Shadi left to get more torches, while Anjel and Chaos entered the room. It looked very plain considering it only had one bed, a table with a chair, and a window. Anjel sets her laptop on the table and her suitcases on the bed. Chaos cringed in an empty corner. Almost immediately, she began to check her website.
Later that day, Shadi returns with a few torches. As he is setting them up in place, he began to talk to Anjel, "So, Anjel, how long do you plan to stay?"

"Anjel, not to be poking into your business, but for what reason are you here other than getting away from your uncle?"

"...I came here to escape my troubles."
"Fortunately, you can't run from one problem. I know you're hiding something. Whatever you say, I'll keep it to myself."
"I'm pregnant."
"Is that all? Who's the father?"
"Seto Kaiba."
Shadi smirks, "Anjel Kaiba. Odd ring to it, but it suits you. Did you tell him about it?"
Anjel clutches her shirt, "No, I'm afraid to tell him. What if he hates the idea of having a child so soon?"
"That's not for me to say. You have to explain it to him. If he cares for you, he'll listen to you no matter what."
Meanwhile, at Anjel's mansion, Dark trembles seeing seven cards he hasn't seen. For an android, Dark cannot possibly know a thing about the game. He paces back and forth trying not to think about the cards and drinking.
Ten minutes later, Seto stops by. Surprisingly enough, he caught the magician opening a bottle of wine. "A-ha!" the CEO cries out, "I knew it! You sent me over here for one of your drinking episodes."

He stands up fast. "Dark, where does Anjel keep her computer?"
Dark pointed to a door, "In there."
So, in a fit of anger, Seto storms into the computer room. He sat down, signs up online and IMs Dancing_Elf_16. He waits for a response.
Dancing_Elf_16: Who is this? Why did you IM me?
White_Dragon_19: This is Seto! Who am I speaking to?
Dancing_Elf_16: .................
Dancing_Elf_16: Anjel. What in hell do you want?
White_Dragon_19: I'm very angry with you. Why did you tell me the cards you gave me were one-of-a-kind when I saw another set just like it?
Dancing_Elf_16: You went in that closet without my permission?! }:( You ought to be ashamed of yourself for going through my personal things!

Dancing_Elf_16: I'm never speaking to you ever again!! This engagement is off permanently. Stay away from my house, stay away from my androids, and stay away from me and your child!!
Anjel signed off. Seto sat there reading that last sentence. The last word caught his attention. A child?? Anjel is pregnant? Outside the room, Shadi appears and grabs the seven cards on the coffee table. Dark glanced at the white-cloaked stranger and passed out. With a smirk, Shadi vanished with the cards.
Somewhere in Domino City, Joey, Bakura, and Tristan waited outside while Yugi and Tea went shopping at the store. "How long do you think they'll be in there?" the blond exhales from boredom.
"Forever," Tristan answers in a monotone voice.
"This bites!" Bakura spat. "I wanna go home and jack with Ryou."
"Why? You jacked with Anjel."
"I wasn't talking about her. I was talking about Ryou. I'm sick of waiting for Sonic and Princess Sally, I'm sick of hanging out with you dweebs, and I still can't understand why people keep kicking me in the ass and laughing at my expense."
Joey and Tristan snickered. Five minutes later, Seto walks by and noticed the sign on Bakura's back. Before he had a chance to open his mouth, Joey secretly gestures the CEO not to say a word about the sign. Tristan finally responds, "Bakura, stand up for a minute and face me."
Monkey see, monkey do! Bakura did what Tristan said and is kicked in the ass. He cries out in pain as he fell on the concrete ground. Seto laughs at his expense and walks away. Bakura sighs and climbs up to the bench. "See? Even that ignorant bastard kicks me in the ass, and I'm not sure why he did it in the first place."
"Your chemistry is probably off," Joey lied.
Tristan brought up another subject, "Do any of you know someone identified as Dancing_Elf_16?"
Joey blinks a few times and answers, "I chatted with that person before. I only did it because of a complaint of a product my sister used on her face. It turned her face purple."
"She's still purple?"
"We've tried everything so far. There's still no response from that person."
"Is there anyone else who knows Dancing_Elf_16?"
Ishizu passed by and is stopped in her tracks by Joey. The blond asks, "Excuse me, Ishizu, we were talking about someone identified as Dancing_Elf_16. We're wondering if you know who it is."
The dark-haired female nods, "I believe I do, but I'm not a blabbermouth. I will however give you a hint. This person is a female and manufactures makeup, skin care products, and hair dye."
"That's it? You're some help! Send my regards to Marik! I hope he is beaten to a bloody mess!" the tomb robber yells.
"Hmph!" Ishizu walks away.
"Bakura!" Joey suddenly had the urge to kick him in the nuts. "Why is it that whenever someone like Ishizu comes along you push her away?"

Seto's hand balls up into a fist.
"You scored with Anjel?" Tristan's interest reached to its highest peak.
Joey nods with pride, "Yup! She's easier in bed considering she doesn't wear panties or a bra. The only thing to cover her body is the sheets."
Bakura laughs, "No panties? What a slut!!"
Seto's fury rises from every confession Joey told.

"She calls me Dogman like I'm Inuyasha or something."
"You act like him," Bakura pointed out.
Joey scoffs, "You have to stop watching TV. First you talk about the kid that plays an electric guitar and now you're using references from the TV."
Bakura frowns, "That kid is named Gitaroo Man, and for your information I happen to like watching Inuyasha. If you don't like it, then hush your mouth. The last thing I want is someone bitching at me."
"I don't care. If you want to leave then do it. I'm sure you can bitch at that cupcake who calls himself a man."
"Gitaroo Man is not a cupcake!"
Tristan protests, "I hate to tell you this, but he is a cupcake. With those rosey cheeks, you could tell he's queer."
"He likes girls like other straight males," the tomb robber interjected.
"You didn't go to the website then. The game you play is edited for reasons. I can assure you Gitaroo Man is G-A-Y!"
"It's a lie! You're just saying this so I can go home."
Joey shakes his head, "It's not a lie. We checked into that website. In the game, he appears to like Pico and Kirah, but the uncut clip shows that Gitaroo Man was having a secret affair with Zowie....kinda."
"You're making this up," Bakura growls.
"No I'm not. That was just the first clip. Another clip shows the two of them making out before Stage 7 begins. Wait, that scene was implied."
"I heard enough out of you two. I'm going home." Bakura stands up and storms off. Along the way, people kicks him and laughs at his expense.
In Egypt, Anjel had fallen asleep. Chaos balled up trying not to doze off for the room was still dimly lit. Seven hours have passed and Anjel is still sound asleep. Chaos looks down at the floor and sees a huge tarantula crawl up to him. Chaos stiffens in fear hoping the eight-legged creature would go away. Instead, it got closer to the dark mage. Like a cat, Chaos dashed away from the spider. Later, the tarantula follows. Chaos chokes finally standing on a chair and screaming. Anjel awakens from the screaming. She noticed the spider and screams as well for she is afraid of spiders no matter what size they are. Shadi hears the screaming and rushed into the room. Seeing the two afraid of a spider made him laugh. He retrieves the eight-legged insect carefully to avoid getting bitten. "I see you found Susan," he smiles.
Anjel, still shakened, bit her bottom lip, "I can't stand the sight of a spider. They frighten me."
"I understand. Most people are afraid of spiders."
"She wasn't the only person afraid of spiders," the dark mage replies, "especially when the room is dimly lit."
Anjel covers herself with the sheets. Shadi looks up and froze on the spot to discover the blonde being nude. "Anjel, where are your clothes?" he asked.
The blonde gasps, "You dare to look at me in my indecency? What are you doing looking at me anyway?"
"Forgive me. I know it seems very strange of me to ask you this, but I must know why you're not dressed."
"I can't sleep with clothes on. They make me sweat."
"Put them back on. Y'know, somebody can just walk in and take advantage of this situation. If they make you sweat, sleep on top of the sheets."
"I can't get dressed because my clothes are over there, and you're in here. I can't dress with people looking at me."
"Why are your clothes over there?"
"I had a disagreement with Seto. He thinks he can just meddle into my business while I'm here. I explained to him that he has no right to go through my things and then I dumped him. If he ever sets foot in my mansion, there'll be so much trouble."
"You dumped him? But you can't just dump him like that..."
"Who are you to judge me?"
"Okay, forget I said anything."
Shadi leaves the room. Anjel mumbles to herself as she is getting dressed. Chaos looks at the object on the table and grabs it. It was a tube of lipstick. It was a black color to bring out the person's lips. Anjel had her back turned for one moment, and already she hears the top opening. She figured it was nothing to worry about. Chaos twists the middle enough to apply. Curiously, he puts on the lipstick. Anjel buttons up her nightgown and turns to the dark mage. She takes one glance and begins to laugh. "Chaos, why are you wearing lipstick?" she asks trying not to laugh.
"I was curious," the dark mage answers unsurely.
"You silly mage! You're not supposed to wear it. Women can wear lipstick without getting any funny looks."
"It's not fair. How come women can wear makeup?"
"So they'll look beautiful. If men wore makeup, I'm sure gay men would do more than compliment on how they look."
"Oh! If I was a woman, how would I look?"
"Pretty. But for now, you have to take off the lipstick."
"Yes ma'am."
Anjel pulls out a tissue and wipes the black lipstick off. As she was doing that, she had to say something, "Chaos, can you keep a secret?"
The dark mage nods, "Yeah. What is it you wanna tell me?"
"Between you and me, I miss Seto already."
"Why don't you tell him how you feel?"
"I can't. Part of me is still miffed, but the other is dying to tell him how much I need him. If I tell him, he'll rub it in my face. I have my pride to protect, y'know."
"May I ask what that other part is?"
"I can't forget how he flattered me when he serenaded me that day I left the hospital. I can't forget the one moment he cared for me. I....I must really care for him then. I was too stubborn and full of myself to even tell him how I felt."
"Email him, Anjel. You'll never know until you try."
"I don't think I can. After what I said, he won't step foot in the mansion."
"If your relationship is going just fine, then how come you retalliate from one little thing?"
"I guess I still don't trust him. I haven't been able to trust anyone, except my creations, ever since my uncle got away with raping me."
"And you did what you always did. You ran, instead of going to the police."
"I can't run to anyone else. You and the others at the mansion are my family."
"That's not exactly true. You still have an uncle no matter what he did to you."
"I disowned him. I now create androids to replace my losses. You're built to act like a father to me, Annabelle is programmed to be my beloved mother, Dale is supposed to be like a younger brother to me, and Dark is to be my older brother. I've recently created an android to act like my uncle, but there were complications. He didn't behave properly."
"What do you mean by not behaving properly?"
"He acted oddly like a seven-year-old child. If he is activated, the results could be fatal."
"What would happen?"
"He may explode or malfunction and forget who I am. That's a risk I can't take."
"Are you building another android for to be your aunt?"
"I'm thinking about building one to act like her. I was thinking of creating a Mystical Elf. After all, she was the first spellcaster I've seen when I was little."
"Why don't you build her now? You carried the parts all the way here."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll begin building the Mystical Elf."
