All three were silent as though their very own thoughts had been hushed as it seemed like time had slowed down in a very dramatic setting. Bue turned her head towards mal whose hand was still resting on her shoulder, when she turned, some of the hair moved away to show one eye surrounded by her jungle of locks, that one eye that was visible peered right into his soul with it's pure black abyss. Mal let go of her shoulder, shaking as he began to slowly back away. The hair went back to covering that side of her face, mal sighed in small relief that that malicious scowl was no longer aimed at him. She turned to D with the same look only this time, she lifted her head up just an inch which moved a few more hairs astray, showing her sharp teeth which had already formed into a vicious smirk. He got scared fast when he looked over at mal who was shaking then looked back at bue and felt a sharp pain but he didn't know where. D looked down and saw that bue had dug her nails into his hand and the grip was getting tighter as he began to sweat, his face became pale. He tried his best to think straight to try and get through to her, what's wrong with you?! Are you that determined to get some lousy information?! Bue's grip loosened but not enough for D to get out of it, her nails came out of the wounds and they began bleeding more. She winked at the injury and gauze appeared and wrapped themselves around D's hand the minute she had let go. He fell to his knees holding his hand, biting his lip in pain, mal was at the wall of the mirror now and breathing heavily. Bue turned to look at him to instill more fear, which worked, then looked down at D. I did it to make a point, quit groveling...and...thanks for answering my question about what happened in here, by the way. D looked up, furious, he shot his arm up and a yellow see-through force field appeared around her, she looked around, hair still covering most of her face and still the seriousness upon her stayed like some stubborn spell.
"What's that?!" Mal asked curiously, D slapped his forehead thinking it was obvious but then…
"It's a force field. Made by him to keep a person in but others are able enter if they desire. Unless it's taken down, I won't be getting out of here….. He originally made it for you if you did something dangerously stupid…-". She smirked though only a part of it was visible. Both boys were stunned at her voice. It's definitely her voice but it sounds more mature and the accent's gone, just what happened to her? D thought. "-But I was put in here instead because I misbehaved...am I correct...lord D, I bet that's always something you wanted to hear from me, didn't you, cocky little ba-AAAAH!" D had grown annoyed with what she was saying, his crimson eyes glowed, he put both hands to the barrier, it turned red and she was electrocuted. "D isn't that a little overboard?!" Mal asked worriedly but D just glared and showed him the hand wrapped in gauze. "Haha! You son of a bi-OUCH!" She grabbed her head which was starting to swing wildly but then it just popped up. Her hair had separated back to it's original flap to her left covering the one eye and she smiled friendly, looked back at the mirrors then back at the two boys who were shaking with some fear and also some confusion. "Whaddaya guys lookin' a'?!" They let out a breath but then that went away when bue looked down at D's hand with the bloody gauze, she was worried by what D could tell by her facial expression. "Sorry 'bout tha'...uh heh heh…." Their jaws dropped. "So I guess my hunch was wrong." "What hunch?" "That BUE had another personality!" D told him, "man would THAT be confusing!" The two laughed a little. "HEY, LEMME OUTTA HERE, 'YA TURDS!" "That's a new one, and, no. Now then. we're leaving." D told her, "aaaaawwwww...but-" "no." He raised his arm and all of a sudden, there looked to be a line connecting D's hand to the barrier safely. "It looks like some red leash." Mal said, bue pouted and crossed her arms once they started walking back the way they came. D made his hand into a fist, the barrier started to close in on her while she got scared, then her feet came off the ground, now floating in the air, bue was now fully encased in a red and yellow sphere. It was a small space so she had folded herself into a ball with her head down and was beginning to get angry until she heard a small giggle coming from the mirror room behind her. Wanting to see what it was, she lifted her head and tried to turn it but instead, hit the top of the sphere, still red it shocked her so she buried her head back into her chest and knees. The minute I get out of here I swear, you guys are gonna- "OOOWWW!" Bue held herself tightly. "D cut it out! Let her go! The one that hurt you wasn't bue!" D glared, "if it wasn't her then how could she remember what happened?" Mal looked up while holding his chin and thinking deeply. "I have a theory." The minute mal finished his sentence, D closed the mirror that had been on the wall. He walked over to one of the beanbag chairs in one of the corners of the room and lowered bue who was trapped in the small sphere. The barrier grew larger until it just became a part of the corner so now she was just trapped in the force field in the room, though I guess it's better than being in that tiny orb. Bue sat down on the beanbag and folded her arms with a pout but then she said something that startled mal a bit when she spoke to D. "We're from the darkness, we're SUPPOSED to act evil, aren't we?" "Not when it's directed at each other." He told her bluntly, mal was a little shocked, I almost forgot about that…. They both simultaneously blew up their hair flaps as bue began fidgeting around on the beanbag. Her position finally ended with her lying upside down, feet in the air, hair touching the floor, arms still folded. "How lon' do 'ya plan on keepin' ma' in this thin'?!" "Until we know for sure that we're all safe around you…". A cold silence filled the room and the same eerie feeling came back, bue turned over to face the two and glared, grinding her teeth but then calmed down and grinned, it wasn't a smile, but a grin. "It's because I wasn't your obedient pet am I right,...your highness? Oh and I simply must apologize for...teaching you a lesson in humility, so I'm ever so sorry...lord D…." D scowled but mal for some reason, felt pity toward them. "Who are you?!" "I'm bue. Your dear beloved buena." "LIAR!" D's voice boomed, mal nearly jumped off the bed and "bue" sighed. "Alright alright, if you want the truth then...I'm not bue." She just stopped right there, there was a pause before D started losing more of his patience. He held out his hand that was attached to the force field and began closing it into a fist, the barrier 'bue' was in shrunk considerably. She just crossed her legs and examined her nails when the shrinking stopped but when she finally looked up she had that same look on her face as in the mirror room, that being the hair covering most of her face and that same frightening scowl she seemed to have reserved for them. "I'm her anger, her cockiness, her annoyance, and impatience. I am one of bue's emotions, and I have no name, therefor, I am not a personality but a trait instead. Get it now?" D turned to mal and saw him nod in understanding then turned back to the unknown character with a glare, she looked surprised for a second then just blew him a raspberry. "So then...what should we call you?" Mal asked curiously, the girl put her hands behind her head and looked up at the bullet hole covered ceiling, obviously thinking hard about this then looked down at mal and D then shrugged, they slapped their foreheads. Another uncomfortable silence came until 'bue' took a yellow piece of loose-leaf paper out from her skort pocket and read it. "What floats but never floats and sinks but never sinks…". Mal and D looked back at her as she slapped the paper against her hand same as before. "It's water." "Huh?" Mal and D asked in sync, the girl sighed and tried to explain, "think of it like this: The ocean is water, and the things living in the water either live at the bottom or are caught at the top but most live in the middle, they can go up or down or stay where they are…. Water. And also, you may not have noticed this one but...there seems to be a tear on the corner of the page, bottom left which is most likely why it was missed by the two imbeciles, tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber." "HEY!" D walked up to the girl with a scowl. "Tch, hahaha! Such a scary face 'ya got there, this bue couldn't care less about a snake like you!" She gave a stiff-upper lip and turned away but not before she saw D smirk. "So then...the other bue does care about a snake like me! Thanks for the info! HA!" He laughed, very proud of himself and knew he'd just beaten her by the look on her face when she turned back, which was surprised and blushing. "You bastard!" "But a charming one at that...aren't I?" Mal was still sitting on the bed, eating chips and chuckling at the conversation he was hearing. "D 'ya jerkin' lil'-!" "BUE, YOU'RE BACK! And apparently...you DO have feelings for me, so I'm charmin' after all hmm?" She continued blushing and looked away but then yawned. "'Ya shaddup! I'm tired! Even if 'ya lowered tha' barrier, I'd still sleep on the beanbag!" D took down the force field and just brought her a blanket, she fell asleep in an instant. He calmly and confidently walked back to the bed, "she IS pretty adorable, 'ya gotta admit it." "Never said she wasn't and never said she was." Mal told him, knowing that answer should satisfy him befitting to his personality. They got in bed then went separated to opposite sides as far away from each other as possible. "We need bue to even this out." "Agreed, but she said she wanted to sleep on the beanbag." Mal told him. "I could just carry her over here, she IS asleep." "I wouldn't try it." D ignored him as he walked over to a sleeping bue and reached down...she grabbed his wrist and twisted it. "I'll kill 'ya if 'ya try anything... I don't gotta be wide awake...". He ruffled her hair but she was too tired to stop him. "How adorable... Mal, you're sleeping on one of the beanbags." Mal groaned and turned over but since he was on the edge of the bed, he fell off face down with a thud. "Ooooowwwww." D just went back over to the bed and fell asleep before he could pull up the covers.
