D snapped his fingers and the water disappeared, bue started coughing. "Let's go back to the room." He put his arm around her shoulder which was soaked, same as him and they began walking toward their hallway. Bue coughed again when they got inside but the two also saw a sleeping mal, whose face was all red and was still upside down on the bean bag. D was the first to take off his shoes and socks then snapped his fingers to take off bue's boots and began shivering. "We can't sleep in wet clothes." Bue snapped HER fingers and was dressed up in dry boys' clothes and also imagined a rubber band which she tied her long hair back. D was in shock at how different bue looked, it was almost like a costume with her hair in a ponytail and baggy shorts. She hopped into the bed, still shivering and curled up into a ball under the blanket while D 'snapped' his new clothes on then got into the bed. Bue's head peeked out and D snickered, she knew why. "We'll? I'm waiting." She lost the bet then started to slowly slink under the the covers, he did the same. D grabbed her by her shoulders, "I-I...thin' y-you're c-c-cute, ok? Ya happy now?!" He kissed her forehead, she flinched but then got over it and, feeling sleepy, began cuddling him. Her head on his chest, D was smiling like an idiot. Bein' sick is fine by me if it's like this, he thought happily and smugly. When he looked down there was a sleepin' bue (haha, get it, get it, sound familiar *nudge* *nudge*) cuddling up to him and, surprisingly, not drooling however, bue being bue her arms were still a little sprawled out. She was in a ball, the arm under her she had wrapped around herself, the other was on D, and her head was close to his heart. Once D began to subtly snore which took about 10 minutes, bue's eyes shot open as she looked around frantically until she finally calmed down when she figured out where she was, thinking they were still on the gondola. There was the unseeable sound of shuffling movement outside of the bed, bue and D were both under the covers, though bue wanted to know what was behind her, she also didn't want to leave the warm position she was in. It's pro'ly (probably in bue language) jus' mal bu' if he looks unda' the blankets...I'll mos' (most) likely strangle him, the way I look now is embarrassin'. I'm...c-cuddlin'...D, I would choke whoever saw me in a curled li'l ball, sick an' shivering, an' snugglin' this smug bastard. D was still asleep, the smirk remained on his face, bue groaned quietly not wanting to wake him and not wanting to move. The shuffling sound came again, bue was getting scared as she slowly and carefully peeked out from the blankets. There was nothing there but she was getting paranoid and so, pulled up the covers, though she did start shaking again and reluctantly got out of the warm bed. The shuffling came from her side so she got on her hands and knees to peer under the bed, another giggle came behind her, the goosebumps on her legs from being cold had crawled up to her arms. Bue looked behind her and saw one of mal's headless teddy bears standing on it's own as if it were alive, her face went pale. "Had a nightmare?" D said, bue's eyes shot open and blinked rapidly until she realized she was still in bed and...on...D's...chest, her nose was red from being sick which eventually spread to the rest of her face. D had on a smirk, "so...how comfy am I?" Her eyes bulged and she looked away, her face bright red. Then she noticed that she was still lying on D and quickly shot up, but began shivering again soon after. "I was awake the whole time 'ya know." Bue's jaw dropped, "b-b-but...I heard 'ya snorin'!" "Pretty good faker aren't I?" She pouted. "You were cuddling up to me like a 5 year old with her favorite stuffed bear-"... She punched him and he fell out of the bed then started coughing and shivering more. D got up, brushed himself off then looked over at bue who was looking down and away toward the opposite wall, huh? Bue turned back to him slowly, "You think I'm gonna take that crap of yours?" Her accent had disappeared. "Tch!...so...you're back" D said with a scowl and clenched fists, she giggled in amusement. "The other buena loves you...quite a lot, while she doesn't show it, all she wants is to continue playing your cat and mouse game with no end. You trying to stop that game screws with her head, I'd recommend NOT doing that!" "What and why do you hate me so much if you're-" "-I'm not." "Wha-?" "Being trapped in a body like this is pretty annoying. Like this stupid long heavy and hot hair, how the hell does she deal with this?...hmmm...call me...bueno." "But that's the-" "It's annoying being trapped in a FEMALE body is what I'm saying! That answer the question with the love-hate thing?!" D's jaw dropped, he looked down at the gauze on his hand then they heard some hysterical laughter coming from the foot of the bed. "Mal?...What are you laughing about, idiot?!" "You're girlfriend's part boy! So there's technically THREE guys in this room! HA! How's THAT for payback, hmmm?" D was about to punch him until bueno started laughing as well. "Hahaha! It's true, buena's a tomboy so I'M her boy half, and her boy half has a few anger issues especially when that anger is bottled up, heh heh…". Bueno cracked...his knuckles and for the first time since they'd been locked in the darkness, his/her black aura had returned. The hair still fell flat in front of his face but the teeth grew into a menacing grin showing each sharp fang, "pretty good actor, aren't I?" He mimicked D's comment from before only this time, bueno's voice was even more different, it was similar to buena's but definitely much more masculine. "Wow, that is a guy, he wasn't kidding." Mal stated, "I'd say I can do voices pretty well even act like a girl...which as you can guess is rather easy. So D, in other words...I could be buena ANY time I want! That give you any chills, huh?" He examined his nails then turned to D and moved the stray hairs to the style bue always had it with the hair flap, even blew it up like the rest of them usually did, doing this would normally move the hairs back to where they once were but that didn't happen. D's face went pale as he began to sweat and shake, "y-you m-m-mean t-to tell m-me th-tha-that I was...was…-". Bueno sadistically laughed and fell over on the bed, even mal was getting nauseous at the way this conversation was going. "Y-you...YOU'RE SICK!" D held his hand to his mouth while he gagged. "I'm not interested in romance, boys OR girls, I just like messing with people!" Mal and D both held their hands to their mouths to keep from throwing up until D finally got the courage to ask the question burning in his mind, "w-was I c-cu-cuddling...y-you?!" Bueno chuckled, "the first half until I fell asleep then she calmed down and took over, haha!" D was pissed and ran up to bueno, put his hand to his shoulder then electrocuted him. His scream was loud and ear piercing, mal fell to his knees holding his head in pain from the screech. The scream progressively changed from male to female, mal's ears perked up at the feminine scream that could only be bue but D wasn't stopping. D was blinded by anger to notice tears welling up as the real bue was about to pass out, mal hopped to his feet just as a tear ran down her face and ran over to D whose eyes were glowing crimson. He punched him in the face then picked up bue as her eyes started turning gray and more tears were shed but she had become mute and could barely move and walked her over to one of the corners, her body now totally limp. "D WHAT'D YOU DO TO HER?! THAT WASN'T JUST SOME SHOCK!" D slowly got up, holding his head and collecting his thoughts then the image flashed in his mind of bue in tears while being electrocuted, he wasn't too sure exactly what he'd done himself until it hit him, I remember...taking souls and their eyes would turn...gray…. "I think I took back my part of her soul, remember, her soul is now a mix of both hers and ours split by thirds!" "WELL HURRY UP AND GIVE IT BACK!" "I don't think I can!" Another tear streamed down her face, this time from under her hair flap, mal moved the hair to behind her ear to show a brown eye that was even sadder than the other with more water welling up and coming down. The tears shined as they made their way down her face, her arm reaching up toward him slowly and shakily, inch by inch, as she stretched her arm to him as far as it could go, begging for his help. 'Ya lil' bastard…. D began tearing up as well then looked over at mal who was glaring at him. Mal hugged bue one last time before her eyes both became gray and the tears dried up instantly...
