Chapter 4. Dominionet.
Leath: Fear the randomness! AHA!...ha...ha...ha...
----
As Megan suddenly dashed off into another alleyway, because the area they lived in just seemed to be so full of them, the rest of the group were curious to follow. Tearing down the dark night lit only by the milky beams of a liquid full moon, the small horde stopped in their tracks as they came face to face with a scene that shocked them to the core.
All around a small cul-de-sac of high buildings and brick walls, unconscious bodies littered the smooth, cold concrete ground. However, despite the copious amount of lifeless forms sprawled and dotted over the expanse of area, a fair few remained standing. Their numbers hovering at around ten, a gang of men donning tight, dark jackets with weapons strapped to their hips were locked in fierce, merciless combat with a lone figure under the cloak of the black sky. As each man ran towards their single target, some lunging three or four at a time, they were effortlessly struck back by the swift fists of their quarry as it spun and kicked, punched, and slashed with deft dexterity and deadly precision.
Princess snorted
"Show-off," She muttered. Megan slipped her a cat-like glance
"Hypocrite," She mumbled. Before the girls could tumble off into another heated verbal spar, Yami interjected with a small labored grunt
"The toilet's that way," Seto mocked with a sneer, indicating a random direction with a jerk of the thumb.
"That's…that's a girl!" Yami gasped, completely ignoring Seto as the figure fighting under the streetlamps finished the last of her opponents. Just as soon as the words left Yami and echoed out into the alleyway, the girl turned and shot a lancing glaze at them. Coolly, she began to pick up a leisurely stride as she wove her way around the maze of unconscious bodies, holding the whole group of five still with a look that was almost tangible
"Of course I'm a girl," She snapped at Yami as soon as her voice was within range. Yami couldn't help but swallow the lump in this throat. Their new company surely didn't look too friendly!
"N-no!" The spikey-haired man stammered, "I-I-I meant…you're fighting…I-"
It was unquestionable that Princess was quick to step in at this point
"Listen girl, back off!" She growled at the newcomer. The strange girl with fighting abilities that easily rivaled Princess's ran fingers through her black hair which, though rough and short, somehow made her look beautiful and deadly at the same time. Rolling red eyes that were encrusted upon a pugnacious countenance, the tomboy answered Princess with a cool retort
"Oh look at you Miss hot-shot, you think you're going to bash me up with those prissy hands of yours?"
Princess's metallic eyes expanded in ire
"Prissy?! WHY YOU!!" Without delay, Princess shot a rocket-like fist at the other Mary-sue, teeth bitten tightly. The so far unnamed girl easily blocked her hit and returned her one with a kick to the stomach. Instantly, Princess sprawled out on the ground, unconscious
"NO!! PRINCESS!!" Bakura screamed in a VERY, VERY ooc way, dropping to his knees and covering her body with his. Slowly, slivers of tears trickled down his cheeks as he desperately felt around the chestnut-haired girl's warm body for any signs of life. Grappling around the girl's arms, Bakura desperately felt for a pulse but his efforts were in vain. With a cry of pure anguish, he hugged Princess's body close to his, unable to contain the tears that rained down from his suppose-to-be-piercing eyes. Yami, Seto and Megan blinked until they felt their eyelids would snap off
"Bakura…" Seto muttered, in a state of disbelief. Bakura wailed
"Leave me alone! Can't I just mourn over my love in peace?!"
Everyone's eyebrows raised in unison
"But…it's…like, sooo not you," Megan commented as she watched Bakura's pathetic cries. Suddenly, a random girl who's looks slightly resembled Princess's appeared sporting a fluffy expression
"Aww…but don't you think it's so…cute?" She asked the four with a spunky wink. Seto snarled
"Who the hell are you?!" He snapped. The girl twirled a lock of hair around her finger while she giggled
"I'm Princess's author, and I also so conveniently happen to be a Bakura fangirl," a pink hue suffused upon her embarrassed visage as she blushed with the thought
"You see…I created a character based upon myself and made Bakura fall in love with her. She hates him at first of course, because, like, it's natural for a belligerent warrior like her (me!) to be in denial, but after a few chapters they warm up to each other and…aaaahhh,"
She sighed as she lost herself in wistful daydreaming, before Yami abruptly and relentlessly dragged her out
"Well…couldn't you make it the least bit real?!" He questioned, voice heavy with criticism as horrifying images of Bakura going all mushy-mushy and ga-ga flashed before his very eyes. Princess's authoress waved a slender finger playfully
"Aw, but it's so sweet when the go all mushy!" she crooned, indicating Bakura embracing Princess's limp body. Seto blinked
"Leath," He said aloud, "Right now would be a good moment for you to randomly show up and fix things like you usually do,"
There was silence
"Leath?!"
More silence
"LEAATTHH?!?!?!"
Siiiillleeennnccee…
"…Oooohh shit."
"Don't swear now, Seto honey," Megan teased flirtatiously. Seto's face mirrored a (--)"
"Hello?! Isn't anyone going to pay attention to me?!" The tomboy, who had temporarily been cast aside, huffed in outrage. Megan stepped forward, the breeze tickling her fine golden tresses
"Yeah. Me. And I'm gonna whoop your ass!" With that she drew out a fist and knocked her down with one hit
"Wow," Stammered Seto in amusement, "Since when could you fight?!"
Megan smiled beautifully
"Since I was born a fighter,"
…but we all really know the truth. Mary-sues are fake wannabes who are put together by their blind authors so they could be perfect and whatnot, and when there's a gap their perfect character cannot fill, they fill it with their fakeness. Thank you. Back to the story.
"Riiiigggghhht," Seto muttered, but for some strange, strange reason, he could not bring himself to hold Megan's deep, ocean-based eyes. An uncanny, foreign sensation began to slowly well in his stomach as something hazy was slowly claiming his heart. In an instant, he furiously shook his mind free; what was he thinking?! He didn't like Megan! No way! He was Seto Kaiba…he didn't like girls. (Instead he likes boys ;D…JK)
"Oh Mr Kaiba! Lighten up!" Megan giggled coyly as she saw Seto's fraught expression. Seto started at suddenly being addressed by the smart, beautiful girl
"W-w-waaa?? Oooh…r-r-right, It's ok…I'm…I'm fine!! Cc-c-caa-caall, call me S-s-seto!!" He stumbled over his words like there was no tomorrow, each syllable falling askew one over the other until he was left with a train wreckage of a broken sentence
Aw man! I can't believe I screwed that up! It's not my fault I don't talk to girls! Especially not one as beautiful as her…with her awesome blue eyes and silky summer hair!! OH MY GOSH I THINK I'M IN LOVE!!
"Ok then, Seto, just lighten up, Bakura's going to be ok. See? I've already taken the girl down!"
Seto felt sheets of sweat exude coldly from his clammy hands as Megan neared him
OMG!! She's coming near me! What do I do??! What do I DO?! He pondered frenetically
"Y-yes, M-Megan. I-I-I-I admire you…and your strength," He barely managed to fumble the words out
"Wooa…Kaiba! That's a bit OOC don't you think?" Yami turned raised eyebrows to the Mary-sue enslaved man. Seto ignored him as he couldn't suppress the fluffy, warmness that brushed through him as Megan came to position in front of him, her slender body so close that the material of her top whisked against the composition of his. His arms lay heavy with the will to melt into hers, his fingers itching to run themselves through her soft, flaxen hair that he'd blissfully sink his face into, breathing the sweet scent of her shampoo.
"Megan…I," The words flittered slowly from his lips, cushioned with a softness one would never dream of coming from the harsh, cold man
"…Do you, want to do out with me?" Finally his words broke free, and Seto couldn't help but beam in happiness as they were finally expelled from him
"WOW!! OOC ALTER!! OOC ALTER!!" Yami hollered loudly, splitting Seto and Megan's attentions away from each other
"Listen, whoever the hell's creating this CRAP!! This is WAY too OUT OF CHARACTER!!!" He roared loudly, arms flailing in outrage
"Dude, like you can talk," Bakura chuckled, still clutching his sleeping beauty in his arms as he watched Yami slice the air with his arms like a madman. Yami froze instantly, his arms suspended in midair
"Oh yeah, and like you can?!" He snapped as he absorbed the sight of the evilishly evil psycho insane odious thief cuddle up beside a delicate, docile-looking girl who was lost in unconscious sleep, tear marks still staining his blotchy eyes. Seto made a noise like that of a wounded animal
"WHAT HAVE THESE MARY-SUES DONE TO US?!??!" He exhorted in agony, though he dare not hurt his precious Megan
"You're OOCness is starting to scare me Seto! Whoever the hell's behind this, STOP IT NOW BEFORE WE KILL OURSELVES!!" Yami declared, strong and formidable as if it were a warning. Suddenly, a random chick who looked exactly like Megan, except her features a bit more sloppier and evidently less perfect, flashed into the scene
"Hey, I know he doesn't act like that normally, but it's my story isn't it?" She questioned without the slightest trace of contrite. Yami's eyes exploded open in outrage
"Who the HELL are you?! If you're one of Leath's alter egos, I'm sorry but I am going to slay that girl to pieces the next time she-" he was quick to be cut of by the blonde
"I'm Megan's authoress," She chirped happily. Yami mustered all of his willpower to stop himself from hurling himself and the blonde and wringing her neck dry. Calmly, he managed to hold control with himself
"…well then what's your name, Peasleblossom?" Yami sneered sarcastically. Megan's authoress flipped her hair as she threw back a lazy reply
"It's Megan," she firmly stated, steel glare on Yami. Megan(the character)'s eyes lit up
"Oh wow! Really! You've got to be kidding me! That's, like, my name too!" She exclaimed, elated. Yami abruptly sucked in large capacities of air as he overemphasized a gasp
"WOW!! Like, could it be fate?!" He mocked as he sharply slapped his face, his naturally deep voice pitched a few tones higher to match that of Megan's. With eyes alive and dancing, he posed girlishly with a fake smile upon his ludicrously contorted features.
Dots of silences cascaded from both Megan and Megan.
…………………………………………………………………
"Watch them go!" Seto babbled childishly, still in his phase of OOCishness, as he pointed to the dots on the screen. Suddenly, Dominionet sprung back into consciousness
"HELLO?! How dare you ignore me!!" She hollered like a madwoman, though the only traces of her femininity were her full chest and the womanly frame of her face. The rest of her was stock and muscular, yet somehow she still retain the essential beauty that no Mary-sue can live without. Yami turned to glare at her, but suddenly, as his violet eyes met her crimson ones, a deft shiver coursed through his body. There was something about this girl…there was something about her strength that captivated him both mind and spirit. It was almost as if…
Snap out of it Yami! You don't like her. You don't. Don't be silly… One half of his mind growled
But…her eyes…her spirit…that power that just rolls of her in ripples…her charm…the other half insisted
You like Maya remember?!But…
Your heart belongs to Maya!
…it's almost like I've met her somewhere before…
…oh not this again!!
"Errr...are you ok?!" The well-toned tomboy questioned as Yami suddenly slipped into a state of blankness. The former pharaoh shook himself awake
"Y-yeah sure," He absently stammered, before instantly grasping his confident grace again
"What's your name then, girl?" He asked her, obdurate determination riveted to his tone. The beautiful girl lay scarlet eyes upon Yami, so intense he could've sworn they were glowing
"Dominionet," she replied in one stern, fleeting breath. A warm smile spread freely upon Yami's lips
"That's a beautiful name, Dominionet," he mumbled deeply. The compliment only scored in a defiant scowl
"Mind your own business, I don't want your petty flattering!" Dominionet snapped. Seto's eyes widened
"Wow Princess, looks like we've found someone with a bigger attitude than you!" He joked, earning him a quick, sharp slap that split pain across his cheek
"Owie," He whined, as the chapter came to an end.
