Chapter 6

Dream (part 2)

Maya was sitting on a throne room. She was wearing a light blue cloak. Her hair was done up with a tiara. She had her head on her hands, looking around the room.

The throne room was painted in a shocking color, black. The throne itself was bloody red, as though someone painted it with his own bloody. The temperature was about 5 degrees Celsius.

All in all, the room was creepy.

"Lady Maya, the other prisoner had escaped." The door opened and a knight appeared. He knelt in front of Maya.

"Prisoner?" Maya asked dully. You see, like the others, she was also pulled to this 'Weird' ordeal without her consent. She was said to be the evil witch that lives under the castle.

Don't you think it suits her well?

"The prisoner who had brown hair, Lady Maya. The one imprisoned in the dungeons near the kitchen." The knight answered.

"So what?" Maya tapped her foot impatiently when the knight just looked at her disbelievingly.

"So what?! Lady Maya, you wanted to use the prisoners in your new potion!" The knight covered his mouth when he noticed the change in his tone.

"Potion?" Maya cocked one eyebrow up.

"The potion!" The knight threw his hands in the air. "Please bring the potion here!" He addressed a passing servant. The servant nodded and scampered away.

"But don't worry, Lady Maya. There is still another prisoner. He is still in the dungeons." The knight assured. Maya just looked at him dully.

The door opened and a black cauldron appeared. It was a little bit bigger than the cauldron Maya had at home. Green smokes erupted from it. It had wheels and was pushed by a lady. Maya's eyes widened.

"Luna?!" Maya got up and rushed to the girl. Indeed it was Luna.

Luna was wearing a black cloak, the hood covering a part of her face. She smiled at Maya. "Maya, isn't great? We could make that forbidden potion! We also have a human to use!"

"What potion? And why are you here? I thought this is my dream." Maya raised her eyebrows.

Luna's face darkened. "You don't want to make that potion? I thought you wanted to regain the popularity of black magic? Maya, I thought you were a good comrade." Luna's black aura made the room even darker, the temperature also fell a couple degrees.

Maya backed away. "Er...right. We'll do the potion."

Luna smiled. "Great! Could we do the potion in the hall?"

"Why?"

"So that the people there could see how great black magic is." Luna clapped her hands.

"Er... excuse me, Lady Maya. What do you want to do with the other prisoner?" The knight asked.

"Bring him to the hall. He will be the final ingredient." Luna answered for Maya. The knight nodded and left the room.

"I'll get everything ready!" Luna pushed the cauldron and also made her way out of the room.

"I wonder who the poor prisoner is?" Maya muttered as she went out of the room.

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

"Is there really a damsel in distress in that castle? I mean there are no monsters or whatsoever." Tsujiai muttered. He was approaching the castle with great care, sword poised, ready if there will be any attack.

He jumped into a bush when he saw two figures: one was shaking the other with such force.

"That must be a guard or a monster. I must help that poor person." Tsujiai muttered as he crept nearer.

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

"We've reached our destination!" Mikami-sensei danced in joy as the castle doors came up of view. Behind him, Mito looked at the castle in awe.

"It seems there is a party going on." Mito said thoughtfully. Mikami-sensei looked at her, utterly shocked.

"We're too late! Nina have already married an old hag!" He began shaking Mito with such force.

"We are still unsure!" Mito said as she tried to calm Mikami-sensei. "And the word 'hag' is for a woman."

"Er...right." Mikami-sensei blushed from embarrassment. Mito giggled.

"You look cute when you blush!" She pinched his right cheek. Mikami-sensei turned redder if possible.

"HIYA!!!" Mito and Mikami-sensei jumped in surprise as a figure charged towards them. His sword glittered in the moonlight.

The figure tackled Mikami-sensei, causing both to fall unto the ground. Mito shrieked and began hitting the figure. The figure groaned in pain. Mikami-sensei used this chance to get away from him. A big hammer appeared on Mito's hand. She was about to hit the figure when Mikami-sensei's voice stopped her.

"Tsujiai?!" Mikami-sensei walked towards the poor teenager. He looked beaten up to a pulp.

Mito's eyes widened. "Tsujiai! I'm very sorry! I didn't know!" The hammer vanished and she rushed to help Tsujiai.

"Ow!" Tsujiai groaned as Mikami-sensei and Mito helped him sit.

"Here, let me help you." Mikami-sensei got a small package from his pocket. He opened it and got a candy. Tsujiai nodded and ate it.

"What was that?" Mito asked. Mikami-sensei smiled proudly.

"It's a healing candy." Mikami-sensei held out the package. Mito took it and read the label.

"Billybots Healing Candy." She looked at Mikami-sensei. "Where did you get this?"

"Er...that's well..." Mikami-sensei twisted his hands on his pocket.

"That's from Tamura-sensei." Tsujiai said. He was completely healed.

"Tamura-sensei?" Mito asked.

"She's the personal nurse of the royal family and Mikami-sensei's long time crush." Tsujiai answered. Mikami-sensei turned red.

"You don't need to add the last statement..." Mikami-sensei continued to blush.

"Really?" Mito muttered, obviously sad. Men really are insensitive most of the time.

"Anyway! Let's go and save Nina!" Mito stood up and announced. She was again cheery. Mikami-sensei nodded in agreement while Tsujiai kept a puzzled look.

"Nina?" He asked. Mito explained how Sebastian got Nina.

"You mean Nina is the damsel in distress?" Tsujiai asked, eyes twitching.

"You may say she's a damsel in distress cause we are going to save her." Mikami-sensei said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tsujiai tried to keep his voice calm. If Nina is the damsel in distress, um... she has a very low chance of rescuing herself. Tsujiai, Mito and Mikami-sensei made their way to the castle.

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

Ayu and Kaji walked carefully down the marble staircase, silently praying that no one would see them or else they would end up in the dungeons or worse...in a cauldron as ingredients.

The thought lingered in their minds as they let out a sigh of relief after reaching the bottom of the stairs. Good, they are safe.

"Where are we going? We've been walking for quite some time now." Kaji asked. He pulled Ayu in a corner when a guard passed.

"I really don't know." Ayu admitted after the guard was out of earshot.

"What are we going to do now?" Kaji asked. They continued to walk.

"We could walk around for a while. Who knows? Maybe we could find the others." Ayu said.

Kaji looked at her. "You know, you are so cool. We are in a life and death situation here but you are so calm. I really like you...r personality." (1)

Ayu felt herself blushing. 'He likes my cool personality...must keep it!', she thought. She smiled at Kaji. "Really? I like your personality too. You are a kind gentleman."

It was now Kaji's turn to blush. "I am?" 'She likes my kind personality...must keep it!', he thought.

Suddenly, they heard some voices. They quickly hid in the corner.

"Are you sure it is here?"

"No."

"Gah! We're lost! I shouldn't have allowed you to lead the path!"

"Shhh! Be quiet! We'll be caught at this rate!"

"Don't you think those voices are familiar?" Ayu whispered to Kaji. Kaji nodded. They went out of their hiding place.

"GAH!!!" The 2 of the newcomers gasped. Ayu and Kaji had to cover their mouths to silence them.

"Tateishi? Kaji? What are you doing here?" The one who didn't scream asked. If you guessed it was Tsujiai, you are absolutely right.

Mito and Mikami-sensei calmed down. Ayu and Kaji let go of them. There was again a round of explaining.

"So, where do you think they hid Nina?" Kaji asked. They were thinking where to go next, not that they knew the place.

"I told you Nina is in the hall! I told you they are celebrating her marriage with the old hag!" Mikami-sensei retorted.

"Hag is for a woman!" Mito sighed.

"Hall? But where is it?" Ayu asked. She looked at the others.

"I think I know where we could find it." Tsujiai said. He pointed a large pair of Oak doors down the corridor. People's cheers could be heard even in the outside.

"Why didn't we see that?!" Mikami-sensei scratched his head.

"Why don't we go inside now?" Kaji suggested. They nodded in agreement.

Tsujiai and Kaji led the group down the corridor. They stopped in front of the doors.

"Are you ready?" Kaji asked as he grasped the handle. Everyone was ready: Tsujiai's sword materialized in his hand, Mito had her big hammer, Ayu had her computer out and Mikami-sensei had a bow and arrow.

"Let's go!" Kaji pushed open the doors.

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

Nina walked towards the man. The people in the hall were holding their breath, preparing for the worst. The man signed his own death sentence by pissing Nina even more. It is also quite interesting to note that Nina here is being short-tempered and can beat the hell out of anyone, interesting...

So interesting that the fate of the man was determined: he'll end up in the hospital wing in no time.

"What are you waiting for? We want some action!" The man shouted, obviously drunk. Nina continued to smirk evilly. The people shuddered.

Nina walked closer and closer to the man until she was a foot away. The man looked up at her, curious on why she was standing there. Nina grabbed the shirt of the man and slammed him on the floor. The man groaned in pain, fear plastered in his boyish face.

The people watched in awe how Nina beat the hell out of the man, using only her physical powers. Nina continued torturing the man when the Oak doors opened.

None of the people paid much attention to the new comers. Imagine their shock after seeing the um... interesting scene.

"What.." Mikami-sensei started.

"-The..." Mito added.

"Heck...?" Ayu finished. Tsujiai and Kaji had their jaws on the floor that they were utterly speechless.

"NINA?!" Mito screeched. Still, no one paid them much attention.

"It seems we didn't need to save her at all..." Tsujiai said. The others nodded.

"What are we going to do now?" Mikami-sensei asked.

"Watch." Tsujiai answered as if it was the most practical way to do.

"Watch?! Are you crazy? Could we let that poor man be beaten by erm... Yami Nina?" Mito retorted. (2)

"What can we do? We can't interfere or we'll be beaten like that." Kaji said while shaking his head. "Oh, and what's with the 'Yami Nina'?"

"I swear! That must be Nina's Yami! The Nina I know can't beat a person like that!" Mito pointed Nina who was still beating the poor man.

Without warning, the door opened with such force that it caught the audience's attention. A lady wearing a black cloak walked inside. Behind her was a huge cauldron that about 3 persons could fit inside. Several servants pushed it. Acid green smoke emerged from it.

Nina was still busy beating the man that she didn't notice the situation. Kaji and Ayu quickly pulled Tsujiai, Mikami-sensei and Mito into the nearest curtain to hide.

"Ladies and gentlemen! You are very lucky to witness the making of a very rare potion!" The lady announced. The people just kept silent.

"Isn't that Luna?" Tsujiai whispered. Ayu nodded.

"Then, why are we hiding?" Mikami-sensei asked.

"Oh yeah, right." Kaji scratched his head and they all emerged from their hiding place.

"This potion is called 'The summoning potion'. With this, you could summon the spirits of the dead." Luna continued. The people's eyes widened in fear. The potion was definitely in the black list.

"And it would be demonstrated by, none other than, Orihara Maya." Luna finished. Silence ruled over them as Maya entered the room. Traces of hidden excitement could be found on her features.

Tsujiai, Kaji, Mikami-sensei, Ayu and Mito gasped. If Maya is here, then Yuta must also be here. Mito's eyes widened. She remembered what Luna said about Yuta being an ingredient in a potion. Could it be that... Yuta is already in that cauldron? She fainted.

"Mito-chan!" Mikami-sensei caught her as she fell. Luna looked over at their direction.

"What can you say about this dream? Isn't it nice?" Luna asked. Maya looked at her disbelievingly.

"You mean..." She started. Luna nodded.

"What do you mean?" A voice interrupted them. It was the prince. Behind him were Rio and Tama. Luna immediately made her way to the prince and gave him a flower.

"I gave it to him!!!" Luna squealed. The others sweat dropped.

"Anyway, what the heck happened here?" Rio asked. He looked at Nina who was still beating the guy then at Maya who was standing in front of the cauldron.

"Why don't we ask them?" Tama pointed Luna and Maya.

"You see, I placed some potion on your goblets on dinner." Luna explained. The people listened intently.

"That potion would allow us to meet in my dream." Luna continued. The people nodded, signaling that they understood what she said.

"Anyway! We'll proceed with the making of the potion." Luna extracted a scroll from her pocket. The lights went off except for the lights on the middle, putting the cauldron into spotlight. She gestured Maya to stand next her.

"First, we'll need some water from the Gisap River!" Luna said. A servant appeared and gave Maya a flask.

"Will I pour this in the cauldron?" Maya asked. Luna nodded. And so, Maya poured the water. Blue smoke emerged from the cauldron.

"Next, we need some Fire lizards." Luna extracted a strange looking lizard with 4 heads. She handed it to Maya who threw it into the cauldron.

"Next..." Luna smiled evilly. "We will now put our special ingredient.." She nodded at the knight who stood at the door.

"I wonder what the special ingredient is?" People started whispering to each other.

Suddenly, a rope fell from the ceiling. There was a bundle at the very end, which was only a foot away from the surface of the potion.

"May I present to you, the star of this potion!" Luna announced as the spotlight turned into the bundle, which revealed itself as a human.

"YUUUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!" Mito shrieked. Mikami-sensei was surprised that Mito was already unconscious.

"MIIIIIITO-NEEEEEEESAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!" Yuta shouted back.

Yup, the poor special ingredient is Yuta.

The people shrieked in shock. Tsujiai, Ayu, Kaji, Mikami-sensei, The prince, Rio and Tama were utterly speechless.

"Yuta?" Even Nina stopped in her assault as she glanced over the bundle. She shrieked after seeing Yuta.

"YUTA?! What happened to you!? GAH!!!" She gasped again after seeing the poor beaten man on the floor.

"Nina! You're back!" Rio exclaimed.

"How do you like this, Maya? You could extract your revenge on Yuta now." Luna said. An evil smile crept its way to Maya's lips.

"Of course..." Maya let out an evil laugh. "I am true to my words, Kirishima. When I told you 'You are going to pay', you are going to pay." Luna gave Maya a small knife. "And this is how you'll pay, Yuta."

"HELP!!! PLEASE! I AM STILL YOUNG! I STILL WANT TO MARRY-" Yuta's eyes widened. Phew! That was close! That one name could change the course of history. Yuta sighed. 'Nina would never understand my feelings..', he thought. Okay. Yuta, you are in a life and death situation right now! No time to daydream about Nina...

"Gah! What are we going to do!? We need to help Yuta?!" Mito panicked. Kaji, Ayu, Mikami-sensei, the prince, Tama, Rio and Nina started doing various things. It was only Tsujiai who was calm, thinking quietly.

"Hurry! I need something that could help Yuta out of that bundle!!!" Nina ordered her computer.

"Er... yes." Nina's computer responded. Nina loaded some magical beads in the box and said 'practice'. Nina got a small pink candy out it and threw it to Yuta.

"Yuta! Eat that!" Nina shouted. Yuta hesitantly nodded and caught the candy with his mouth.

There was a blinding flash and lots of smoke clouded their vision. When the smoke cleared, Yuta was nowhere to be found.

"Nina?! What did you do to my Yuta-chan?!" Mito began shaking Nina. Her eyes widened after seeing Yuta's clothes drop into the cauldron. Black smoke emerged from it.

"Er...um... what.kind.of.magic.was.that?!" Nina asked her computer uneasily.

"Why is there a cat there?" Ayu asked. Indeed, there was a very cute cat on top of the bundle. It had light brown fur and big brown eyes. Maya, Luna and the rest of those present in the hall looked at it curiously.

"Well, the magic basically turns the person into a cat." Nina's computer responded proudly.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?!" The people in the hall choused.

"But... why did you give me that magic!?" Nina scolded her computer.

"Er... if Yuta-sama is a cat, then he can escape." The computer reasoned out.

"Oh, you're right." Nina said thoughtfully.

Mito was just frozen in the spot. She was looking at the cat. "Hahaha...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! My brother is soooo cute when he's a cat!" Mito exclaimed. The others also exploded laughing. Yuta the cat growled.

"What a cutie!!!"

"I want to have a cat like that!"

"That's my cat!"

"No! That is mine!"

"You're both wrong. That is MY CHARLOTTE!!!" Some girls began to fight over the cute little kitty.

"Yuta! How does it feel to be a cat!" Rio shouted in between laughs. Yuta hissed.

"Yuta the cat! Yuta the cat! YUTA THE CAAAAAAT!" Some people chanted. Veins appeared on Yuta-the-cat's head.

Maya looked at Yuta the cat. "Oh well. I think we also need a cat in this potion, right?" She asked Luna.

Luna looked at the scroll. "Yes."

Maya smirked. She got a rope from her pocket. "Yuta!" She called with her sweetest voice. Yuta the cat turned and was met by Maya's rope. In a few seconds, Yuta was again tied.

The laughing in the hall died out after seeing that the cute little cat was again captured. Our favorite characters began to panic again.

"This time I'll let you know the price you'd pay for messing up with an Orihara." Maya positioned the poor Yuta above the cauldron. She let out a diabolically evil laugh. "I'll count to three."

"One..." Yuta the cat began struggling.

"Two..." Mito and the others were panicking as they ran towards the cauldron.

"Three..." Maya let go of the rope.

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!" An alarm clock signaled the start of a new day.

So what do you think? Please Review!!!

I'm so sorry that this chapter is lame and very random. Yeah, it is full of silliness.

Could you imagine how Yuta-the-cat looks like? Aw! He's SOOO CUTE! (Hugs Yuta-the-cat) Oh yeah, this is still not the true revenge... (smirks)

(1) I really love that scene! That is why I cannot allow that to be left out here in my fic. That scene is very necessary for the start of the Ayu/Kaji pairing.

(2) Yeah, I'm a big fan of Yu-gi-oh. Yami is the dark side of a person. They thought Nina had a dark side because the real Nina wouldn't do such things.
