Disclaimer: If I owned X, all the bishies would be chibified plushies which I would hug forever and ever.
Welcome to my personal sugarless hell, day 4. Yep, 4 days without sugar and somehow I'm still standing- I might just win the bet! Chocolate is the enemy…without it I am strong! …please, dear god, someone help me… In other news, I've achieved the day-long dream of getting to chapter 11 of X madness, so without anymore pathetic whining on my part, enjoy!

Ch. 11 Special Friends, Unite!
Location: Mouse Department
Kamui hot-headedly stomped down the aisles; he had searched the entire Petco for his Pink Minion, and nothing had come of it. He sighed as he found the entire mouse department not only devoid of Yuuto but all of the mice in the store. He growled in frustration, and began to angrily jump up and down, a tantrum in the works, but before he could shout out any expletives to the empty mouse department, a familiar shriek sounded nearby.
Kamui perked his head up. "That sounds like the excruciating, tormented scream of the Pink Minion! But where is it coming from?" Another pained outcry echoed, this time louder in volume as Kamui paced around the area. A wide smile spread across his face. "All I have to do is follow the agonized horrible screaming of my one and only ally and we can go back to conquering the city!" He chirped happily.
Just as he finished saying those words, the loudest shriek yet rang from a door marked 'Employees Only'. Kamui threw open the door, and merrily skipped down the hall as Yuuto's cries became clearer and shriller. But Yuuto was not the only one that Kamui could hear. As he cheerfully made his way along the backrooms, his ears could make out many faint squeaks chanting as one. Suddenly, the last room down the hall flared with crimson light.
"Pink Min—ion!" called Kamui in a singsong voice. Sure enough another scream sounded from that doorway, and Kamui rushed to the entrance. However, he was not prepared for the sight that confronted him.
The entire floor was moving as thousands of white mice bowed in unison toward a deep hole from which hot lava and flames swirled up forbiddingly before an altar for some dark mouse god. Around the fire pit were dozens of charred skeletons of unfortunate mice sacrificed to the altar, and above them dangled Yuuto, his neck wreathed in flowers while his body was tied by cat toy strings.
The fire pit growled, and another flame shot up at Yuuto causing him to let out a panicked scream. However, after all the crying from the terrible pain, his eyes glowed excitedly at the sight of Kamui. "Your majesty! So how have you been lately?"
Kamui impatiently put his hands to his sides. "Pink Minion! You get your ass down here—you can get tortured by maniacal cult mice anytime you want, but right now I have to become the Imperial Fairy Queen of Tokyo!"
"Sorry your majesty, but the mice captured me, and are offering me as a sacrifice to their dark god so that they will be given an eternal reign over the rat people!" apologized Yuuto as the mice continued to chant.
Kamui frowned. "I don't care if you—" He suddenly focused at what exactly the mice were chanting, and paled considerably.
"M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E!" They squeaked together. Kamui's eyes went back to the altar, and his jaw dropped when he realized that the god that they were worshipping was no ordinary evil mouse lord. A Mickey Mouse doll was propped up on the altar, crowned with a string of mouse skulls.
Kamui sweat-dropped, and his eyes widened. "HOLY SHIT! THEY'RE SACRIFICING HIM TO MICKEY MOUSE!"

Seishirou was grinning ear to ear as he bounced into the aisle while giving Subaru a piggy-back ride. "WHOOOOOSH! Ride the horsey!" he exclaimed.
The Onmyouji had spread his arms out, and was giggling obnoxiously as Seishirou entered the aisle. "Weee! I'm flying! I'm a duck!"
Seishirou stopped dead in his footsteps, and his expression became grave. "Ducks, you say, Suby-kun?" His wide eyes fell on a duck squeaky toy, and he quickly lowered a disappointed Subaru to reach in his coat pocket for the Saran Wrap.
While Seishirou was engaged in his battle with the evil ducks, Kakyou happily clung onto Arashi's arm. "I have a friend!" he exclaimed.
Seishirou kicked a mummified duck toy to the side. "Oh yeah, well, Subaru-kun's special! That makes him my 'special' friend!"
Subaru smiled, and wrapped his arms around the Sakurazukamori's neck. "Special friend!" he repeated proudly.
Arashi pouted, and dug her nails into Kakyou's hand, causing him to cringe in pain. "Well, he's my special friend!" she shouted back as she gestured at the squeaking Dreamseer.
Sorata curiously tapped Fuuma on the back. "SORATA'S SPECIAL FRIEND?"
Fuuma did not keep his eyes off the shelf of stuffed animals that Mr. Huggles had fallen from. "I had a special friend once…long ago." He dramatically turned to face everyone. "MY NAME IS FUUMA, AND I LOST MY SPECIAL FRIEND!"
Everyone: Hi Fuuma!
Fuuma lowered his head. "And now he's gone…but even if I have to hurt him…I'm getting Mr. Huggles back!"
Kakyou approached him resolutely. "Then as special friends, we have to get him back together!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. "Special Friends!"
Location: Employee Backroom
Yuuto continued to scream as the flames jumped up at his feet, the mice slowly letting the ropes that held him fall closer and closer into the pit. "Your majesty!" he begged.
Kamui swallowed hard as he looked into the dangerous eyes of the Mickey Mouse doll. "There's only one way to end this…and I'll only get one shot!"
The mice, heedless of their new visitor, kept on chanting. "M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E—"
"DONALD DUCK!" yelled Kamui. All the mice quieted, and turned to him with an astonished gasp. "Bring it, ya lab rodents!" he challenged, and the mice swarmed over to attack.
---------Five minutes later--------
"M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U—"
Kamui dangled over the flames next to Yuuto. "Damn you, Pink Minion!" he yelled.
"There are too many of them, your majesty!" despaired Yuuto. Another flame rushed up to them, but before any of them could scream, a large amount of Code Red extinguished the entire fire pit.
Kamui gaped at the Water Master. "That fire REALLY stings! I got sick of it," explained Yuuto.
"You mean all this time you could have put out the fire pit!" growled Kamui.
"Fire pit? What fire pit?" Yuuto glanced below him, and a smile registered on his face. "How about that! I was wondering where the fire was coming from!"
"Baka…" hissed Kamui. "Now if we could only get out of here…"
Suddenly, a shopping cart screeched into the room, running over several mice and caused a great deal more to flee in terror. The cart then rolled into the cat strings that bound Kamui and Yuuto over the fire pit, severing them with ease. With a final thud, it hit the wall, tipped over, and a cocooned figure squirmed out.
"A miracle!" exclaimed Yuuto. "Even now, the Magic Taco smiles upon me! Praise the Magic Taco!"
Kamui, however, was more concerned with brushing off the ashes that coated his pink dress. "My dress is ruined!" he cried. "Now I'm really pissed off!" His eyes narrowed, and the remaining mice were vaporized in the blink of an eye.
As Yuuto shamelessly bowed in worship for the Magic Taco, his attention fell on the wriggling cocoon. He blinked as it slowly inched its way to him. "Caterpillar?"
A muffled cry moaned through the thick sheets of Saran Wrap.
"An evil talking Butterfly! Your majesty!" Yuuto shouted while cowering behind Kamui's back.
"Worthless slave!" admonished Kamui. "I will take care of this!"
"Mmm-fmmmff mm ffmmmffmm!" moaned the voice beneath the Saran Wrap.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" queried Kamui.
"MMM-FMMMFF MM FFMMMFFMM!"
"Oh." Kamui turned back to Yuuto. "It says it's not a butterfly." He then casually approached the figure, and removed a portion of the Saran Wrap to find Yuzuriha staring back.
"Finally! I'm free!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "I was hoping that if I was able to move the cart I'd find people!
"What is it, your majesty?" whispered Yuuto.
Kamui smiled. "It's you!" He pointed at his pink hair. "The Dark Mistress who gave me the power of Pinkish Wrath! What say you?"
"They took my Inuki!" cried Yuzuriha.
"Join us, then, Mistress of Darkness! Join us and reclaim what is rightfully yours!" urged Kamui.
"Can I dye his hair?" asked Yuzuriha enthusiastically, her head motioning toward Yuuto.
Yuuto stroked his hair lovingly. "MY hair!"
But Kamui had waved away his servant's protest, and unwrapped the girl. "Yeah, yeah, sure. Whatever you want."
"Woohoo! I'm in!"
"Excellent! Now we must find the final one who will destroy Tokyo, another evil ally from far away! MUAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Kamui.

Fuuma looked up and smiled at the others. "All of you…are my special friends! But we must get back another one of us that has been taken. It'll be hard work, and at the end of it we might die or even miss 'American Idol'…who will join me?"
"Captain Kakyou never deserts a special friend in need!"
"Neither does a Warrior Princess!" chimed in Arashi.
"Special Friend!" exclaimed a laughing Subaru.
"If Suby-kun says yes then I do too!" agreed Seishirou.
"SORATA HUNGRY!"
"Then it's settled!" Fuuma held his hand out, and they all gathered in a huddle.
"SPECIAL FRIENDS, UNITE!"
"Muahahahaha!" exclaimed an evil voice. "You may have won today, Special Friends, but the war is only beginning!" They turned around to find Kamui, Yuuto, and Yuzuriha standing on the shelf over them.
"It's the end for all of you!" agreed Yuzuriha.
"And we're going to…make you feel bad and stuff." Yuuto paused in confusion before laughing with the other two. "Teeheeheeheeheeheehee!"
Yuzuriha and Kamui stared. "A villain 'muaha's, NOT 'teehee's!" growled Kamui as he approached Yuuto angrily. However, when Kamui took his first step, the shelf they were standing on began to wobble, and collapsed under them.
Following a thick cloud of dust, Kamui jumped up from the ruins. "Your days are numbered, Special Friends!" He exclaimed before dragging the other two out of Petco.
Sorata gazed after them, his eyes and voice once again different. "My son, Yuuto…he has strayed from the meaty path of enlightenment! He has shamed his savior."
Arashi walked over to Sorata in awe. "Magic Taco?"
Everyone: o.O
"It is!" cried Arashi. "He is the magnificent Magic Taco!"
"I reside within this human who has eaten my flesh and taken my soul into his body," replied the Magic Taco's voice from the possessed Sorata. "I must beg of you. Stop my servant Yuuto and his companions from destroying this blessed city. Please save Yuuto…"

Kamui stared forward into the large city that stood before him. "Somewhere there is a Destroyer of Tokyo who waits for our help."
Yuuto raised an eyebrow. "Destroyer of Tokyo, your majesty?"
"Yes…a mighty conqueror named Martin."
The other two gaped at their leader. "Martin?"
Kamui nodded. "His name is Martin…and we must find him!"
"But how are we ever gonna do that?" asked Yuzuriha.
Yuuto's eyes fell to the ground. "I don't know how I would find a Destroyer of Tokyo." However, his face lit up as an idea hit him. "But I do know someone who does!"
End of Ch. 11. Will the Special Friends stop Kamui and his minions? What has become of Martin, Destroyer of Tokyo? Who else is fated to be claimed by the Happy Dart madness? Find out next chapter! Later!
