MKL: Okay, so, ValGaav or no ValGaav?
Ararik: -dryly- Aloria couldn't see it.
MKL: -frowns- She didn't say that. She said the hair color wasn't right. But I pointed out to her that people's hair color DOES change when they become Nobodys. Look at Xehanort with his white hair and Xemnas with his silver hair! Not to mention their skin tone is different, and their hair style, and their eyes...
YK: -blinks slowly- Their eyes? But M-K-L-sama, ain't their eyes both gold?
MKL: -frown deepens- Well, no. If you look, Xehanort's are more yellow and Xemnas's are more gold...
Ararik: -rolls eyes- MKL-sama, you are VERY weird.
MKL: Yeah, I know! -giggles- -suddenly serious- But back to the matter at hand--ValGaav or no ValGaav?
YK: Well, go fer it! Can't hurt! An' no one killed ya fer th' whole Xigbar-Koga thing, right?
MKL: -thoughtfully- Yeah, I guess you're right...but Slayers isn't as well known as InuYasha. How many people will just leave because I keep making references that no one but me and Shikuki and BA get?
Ararik & YK: -shrug-
MKL: Oh well! I guess I'll go for it! -grins- I'm curious as to the responses anyway.
Ararik: -dryly- You're going to Fangirl Hell.
MKL: With Auron! -grin widens-
Ararik & YK: -sigh-
YK: -pats MKL's back comfortingly and begins to lead away from the computer- C'mon, M-K-L-sama. Let's put ya ta bed b'fore we start this, 'kay?
MKL: -yawns- Okay...I guess I am pretty tired...
Ararik: -gazes at story thoughtfully as YK and MKL disappear into MKL's room- Hmmm, I wonder... -smirks and sits down to type- Let's see if anyone can appreciate MY sense of humor...
MKL: -calls back- And Ararik-san! Don't write the chapter without me! I'll let you write the end commentary if you don't, okay?
Ararik: -scowls and stomps foot- Dammit! So close (to scarring Sakuya)...and yet so far...
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
Sakuya blinked up at the ceiling. "What are they TALKING about up there...?" she wondered. She got no response.
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
Saïx threw open the door to the library, Axel thrown over his shoulder. The assorted people with in glanced up and blinked "innocently".
"Hi, Saïx!" Naminé said with a bright smile. She bowed almost too deeply from her position next to Zexion, who was sitting in a chair and reading his Lexicon...upsidedown. Saïx frowned at the silver-haired teen. He was supposed to be the Master of Illusion, wasn't he? So then why...?
Saïx decided he didn't want to know.
"Seven," Zexion greeted in a monotone, glancing up from the Lexicon before turning back to it and flipping the book rightside up.
"What brings you here, Saïx?" Demyx asked a bit too brightly from his position next to Roxas, who was scanning the bookshelves. Roxas glanced up and nodded his greeting before turning back, mumbling titles under his breath.
"Oh, you found Axel!" Larxene chirped with a grin, walking over from the Mythology section. She held out her arms to take the slumbering redhead, and Saïx gladly threw him at her. Literally.
"Ooof!" Larxene grunted, being thrown back from the force and just barely keeping from running into Demyx and Roxas. She quickly blushed when she saw Axel's face was between her breasts and quickly deposited him on a nearby couch.
"Yes, I found him," Saïx said dryly, glancing around at the group. "And he told the Superior, Vexen, and myself some VERY interesting things before I was forced to knock him out."
"Such as?" Zexion asked, glancing up and arching an eyebrow as he closed his Lexicon. It disappeared as he stood up and brushed off the front of his cloak--a nervous habit that clearly showed he knew EXACTLY what Axel had told Saïx before being knocked out.
"Such as information about a cat and her cousin who were 'hanging out' with your little group."
Silence.
"I don't know WHERE he got that from," Naminé said, frowning in fake worry as she looked over at Axel. Saïx frowned at her and folded his arms over his chest.
"I do, and I would prefer it if you did not lie to me," he said, not bothering to hide the threat to his words. However, before anyone could comment, there was a gasp from behind the chair Zexion was sitting in, causing the group (minus Saïx and Axel) to tense.
"Zohmehpink, it's Val!" Sakuya gasped, suddenly hopping up onto Zexion's head.
"Get back down here, Sakuya!" Lulu hissed from behind her, grabbing Sakuya's tails and jerking her down. Sakuya yelped loudly. "Do you WANT to die?!"
"And who was that?" Saïx asked, arching an eyebrow and striding over to where he had seen the cat fall. He paused when he caught sight of Lulu half-strangling Sakuya to keep her from talking again, both freezing when his shadow fell over them. Their eyes rose up his form in unison and Lulu cursed under her breath, releasing her hold on Sakuya, who grinned brightly and raised a paw in greeting.
"Hiya, Val!" she chirped. Saïx openly stared at her.
"Val?" Lulu suddenly asked, eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she stared up at the obviously-surprised Saïx. "As in ValGaav? As in the insane, homocidal, half-Anceint Dragon, half-Mazoku Demon who brought Dark Star and nearly killed the planet in a twisted attempt to kill the one who supposedly killed his master even though Lina didn't do it and it was really Phibrizzo? Do you mean THAT Val?"
"How do you know of that?!" Saïx snarled, reaching down and grabbing Sakuya by the scruff of her neck in one hand and the front of Lulu's shirt in the other. He lifted both up into the air, even as Sakuya became dazed from the overflow of good-feelings that resulted.
"Oooooh, pretty colors," Sakuya cooed with a rather distant giggle. Saïx quickly brought both over to the nearby couch where Axel was sleeping, dropping Lulu first (who was surprisingly calm) and then letting Sakuya fall into her lap. Sakuya yelped quietly and quickly scrambled to her feet, whimpering.
"That hurt!" she complained, rubbing her head with her paws. Saïx glared pointedly at her and she smiled. "I knew it! He gave me that exact same look!"
Nice, quote Xigbar, Sakuya. Very nice.
Sakuya giggled to herself and Demyx glanced at her in confusion, even as Saïx growled dangerously.
"Who are you and how do you know of that?!" he demanded, snarling again and leaning forward so he was eye-level with the neko. Lulu sat quietly as Sakuya tilted her head and sat down, gently licking her paws.
"I got that information from a VERY reliable source," she chuckled. She glanced up and tilted her head innocently. "You remember Amelia?" At Saïx's terse nod, Sakuya went on. "She and MKL-sama, my master, are really good friends. You'd be surprised how much information we have on the majority of the anime-planets."
Saïx's expression darkened. "That still does not explain how you know of my Somebody!"
There were a series of gasps/stares that were thoroughly ignored by Saïx and Sakuya, although Lulu gave them all a pointed look that shut everyone up (although it did nothing for the stares). "Well, Amelia, Lina, Zelgadiss, Filia, Xelloss, and Gourry were the ones to beat you, right?" Saïx nodded. "Then, when you were reborn, it was Filia who raised you along with Gravos and Jilias, right?" Saïx nodded again. "Then doesn't that explain everything?"
"Not really," Saïx growled, hardly keeping his anger in check. Sakuya smiled mysteriously, but didn't say anything more.
"Maybe you should speak with our little audience now," Lulu piped up, slowly arching an eyebrow. Saïx glanced around the room at the shocked exressions and straightened up, clearing his throat as he became as apathetic as he usually was.
"My Somebody is none of your concern," he spat at them. He gave Sakuya a pointed look and she shrugged.
"Only Lulu can understand me," she said boredly, "so don't worry about me tellin' them."
'And me,' Demyx mentally added, still staring at Saïx. He didn't dare say that out loud if he wanted to keep his head.
"What are you staring at?" Saïx snapped. Everyone jolted and quickly adverted their gazes, with the exceptions of Naminé and Demyx. Satisfied, he turned back to Sakuya and Lulu, giving them a vaguely-disgusted look. "You are very lucky you are not dog demons, otherwise I might have to send you out of the castle. If you so much as breathe a word about me letting you two go without any sort of punishment to anyone, I swear I will make your lives a living hell." He glanced around the room and added, "And that goes for every single one of you."
"Wait, what just happened?" Larxene asked just loud enough for Saïx to hear. He paused and leveled her in his steely-eyed gaze, causing her to whither. Satisfied about the reaction, he swept out of the room with unnatural grace, leaving the rest of the group behind.
"Oh man, and I thought he was psycho before," Sakuya snickered. Lulu frowned down at her and stood up, causing Sakuya to yelp as she hit the floor. She whimpered quietly. "Owie..."
"So now that PMS-man is gone," Lulu said boredly, "what do we do now?"
"Dudes, what's up?" someone suddenly asked. Everyone jumped (with the exception of Sakuya and Axel) and whirled around to see Xigbar standing on the ceiling in the doorway, looking very confused as he scratched the back of his head. He glanced over his shoulder as he dropped down to the ground. "I get back from a mission an' come ta check on ya, an' I run inta Mister PMS out there. What'd ya do ta him?"
Lulu's teeth began to grind together as she glowered at Xigbar, causing Sakuya to pale as she laughed nervously.
"Uh, Xigbar..." the neko-goddess said slowly. Xigbar blinked and glanced at her. "I suggest you run now. Lola is going to make a guest appearence unless you do."
"Huh?" Xigbar asked stupidly, scratching the back of his head again. "What're ya talkin' 'bout, Sakuya? Who's Lola?"
"That'd be me," Lola growled as a purr started up in her throat, crouching down low to the ground and drawing her sword. Sakuya laughed nervously and quickly summoned her cat nip yarn ball, then paused and glanced at Xigbar before dismissing it with a rather sadistic grin. Maybe this would be more interesting if they saw Lola in action.
"I thought she was Lulu," Zexion muttered to Larxene and Roxas, who were both watching in confusion. Lola ignored them and her purr intensified.
"Start running. I'll give you five seconds."
"Wha...?" Xigbar began to ask with a blink. Lola ignored him.
"Five...four..."
"Run, Xiggy!" Demyx suddenly shouted in unison with Sakuya. Xigbar glanced at them in confusion.
"Three...two..."
"Uh, I think I'll take yer advice," Xigbar decided with a nervous laugh before disappearing from sight. Lola growled and sprinted down the hall. It took only ten more seconds before the screaming started.
"Well, I guess we should go help him!" Sakuya said with a grin, jumping down from the couch and nudging Demyx's leg with her head. "C'mon, Demy! Lola might cause some major damage if we don't help."
"All right," Demyx sighed, reaching down and scooping her up as he temporarily forgot that there were other people in the room. "Which way?"
Sakuya paused to sniff the air before she grinned and tilted her head towards the left. "Down the hallway to the left."
Demyx simply nodded before sprinting out of the room, leaving a group of confused people in his wake.
"Did he just speak to Sakuya without a translator?" Roxas asked no one in particular. The rest of the group nodded silently.
"But Demyx isn't a demon, is he?" Naminé went, fidgeting slightly. The rest of the group once again nodded silently.
"At least, he doesn't act like it," Larxene said.
"But neither does Xigbar," Zexion mused, visible eye narrowed.
"...we should follow them," Roxas finally said. He glanced around at the uncontious Axel and sighed in a rather annoyed way. "I'll stay with Axel. You guys go."
The other three nodded before sprinting out the door, leaving Roxas behind to stay with the sleeping, yet still-on-a-caffine-high Axel. This was NOT going to end well...
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
"What did I do?!" Xigbar half-sobbed as he sprinted down the hall, warping the area whenever he caught enough breath to do so in an attempt to confuse Lola, who was hot on his heels. She seemed unaffected and followed him without stopping, not even panting as she occasionally howled in annoyance/impatience.
"Get back here!" she shouted, glaring at his back.
"Hell no! You'll kill me!"
"That's the point!"
"Xigbar, duck into the next room!" Demyx suddenly called, appearing behind them with Sakuya in his arms. Xigbar decided not to object and did as he was told, slamming the door closed behind him as Lola whirled around to glare at the two. She continued to purr as she crouched down, holding her sword loosely in her hands as Sakuya lept from Demyx's arms. She slowly walked forward.
"Lola, calm down," she said in as soothing a voice as she could manage under the dangerous conditions she found herself in. Inwardly, she was wondering whether or not she wanted white roses or catnip on her grave. She quickly decided on both. "Please? I know Xigbar's character bugs you, but that's no reason to kill him..."
"It's the purrrrrrrrrrrfect reason to kill him," Lola objected, smirking rather sadistically. Zexion, Naminé, and Larxene suddenly appeared behind Demyx, but the other three ignored them.
"Lola, listen to Sakuya," Demyx said in a surprisingly-confident voice. Sakuya had told him how to handle a rampaging Lola on their way down the hall. "You know she's right..." He suddenly fidgited and his voice dropped nervously. "R-right?"
Lola smirked at him and suddenly charged. "Wrong!"
"Lola!" a new voice snapped. Everyone paused (including Lola, who was not even two inches from running Sakuya over) and watched as a Corridor of Darkness, sparkling with blue and silver energy, opened in the doorway where Xigbar had disappeared and was silently listening to what was going on outside.
Out of that Corridor walked a black, five-tailed wolf with silver tips to its fur, which was partially falling to cover blood-red eyes with silver "whites". The wolf radiated a regal air that suggested he was used to being obeyed, and the slight snarl to his lips (which showed off outragously-long teeth and fangs that would put Cerberus's to shame) suggested he was totally and completely pissed. He was easily bigger than any of the humans and at least twenty times the size of Sakuya, whose eyes suddenly sparkled as she squeeled happily.
"Ararik-kun!" she gushed, jumping at him. The wolf hardly spared her a glance and expertly lifted his right front leg, causing her to go flying past him and hit a wall face-first. She let out a low 'coo'ing noise as the wolf ignored her.
"Ararik," Lola growled, eyes narrowing, "what are you doing here?"
"MKL-sama sent me to bring you back," he said simply. "She said that you were causing too much trouble, what with your 'problem'."
"Yeah, that Lulu is a pain in the ass."
Ararik rolled his eyes, tails flicking behind him as he walked forward to stand before her, two-inch-long claws clicking on the floor as he did. "No, I meant that you wanting to kill everyone. Especially Xigbar, for whatever reason."
Lola suddenly growled and went to charge at him, but he simply arched an eyebrow, summoning a yellow ball of yarn with catnip inside to float right in front of her nose. She suddenly stopped and her eyes sparkled as she grabbed it, mewing and purring happily as she batted it from side to side. Ararik rolled his eyes.
"So easy to distract," he muttered to no one in particular. He glanced over his shoulder at the Nobodys behind him, who were openly staring as he fully turned around. He lowered his head a fraction in what could have been a bow. "I am sorry for all of the trouble Lulu and Lola have caused."
"Ararik-kun," Sakuya gurgled as she regained herself, stumbling to her feet. Ararik gave a rather agrivated sigh and turned to her.
"Sakuya, you come to hug me again and I swear, I WILL take away your supply of PB cups for the next month--which BA would gladly accept."
Sakuya suddenly froze and whimpered as Ararik looked content, turning back to the group with another wolf-bow.
"I will be more than happy to take both Lulu and Sakuya off of your hands," he went on in a monotone. Sakuya whimpered and shook her head rapidly, although Lulu was ignoring them as she continued to play with the catnip yarn ball. "I know how much of a pain in the ass they can be when they're not together, let alone when they are, but in this situation..."
"No!" Demyx immidately objected, frowning.
Silence.
"...did you just say NO?" Ararik asked incredulously, quiet voice not unlike Zexion's radiating a sudden air of confusion. Truth be told, it was the first emotion to his voice.
"Yes, I said no," Demyx said forcefully, walking over to Sakuya and picking her up. She squeeked in surprise and glanced up at him with a blink, looking thoroughly confused. "You can take Lulu or Lola or whoever the hell she is--"
"Hey," Lulu objected rather distractedly, although she seemed to only be half-listening/half-irritated. Demyx ignored her.
"--but I want Sakuya to stay."
"Really, Demyx?" Sakuya asked, starry-eyed. Demyx glanced down at her and smiled blindingly.
"Yep!" he chirped. She grinned at him and turned back to Ararik.
"Seeeeeee? Not everyone is as annoyed by me as you are, Ararik-kun!"
"I'm surprised," Ararik said in a monotone, not sounding at all surprised, "that anyone could tollerate you, Sakuya. Even MKL-sama gets sick of you once we reach a certain point."
Sakuya frowned a bit. "Hey!" she objected. Ararik ignored her and turned back to the others in the hallway.
"Do you want to keep her?"
Silence.
"...what's the other option?" Larxene asked with a snort. Naminé immidiately elbowed her in the ribs, causing Larxene to yelp and grab her side with a wince. "Ouch! What--?!"
"We're more than happy to!" Naminé said with a blinding smile. Zexion hesitated for only a moment before nodding his silent agreement, still staring at Ararik. Ararik blinked at them before giving a shrug.
"All right then, if you think you can survive her," he snorted before turning to Lulu. He made the yarn ball disappear and suddenly Lulu was on her feet, scowling at him.
"Ararik, I was playing with that!" she complained. Ararik rolled his eyes and opened another Corridor, which was again sparkling with blue and silver energy.
"Just get into the portal, Lulu." She glared at him, so he sighed in resignment and shook his large, imposing head. "If you do, I might be able to convince MKL-sama to allow you to come back in a few chapters, after everyone calms down and Axel is back to normal so he can...enjoy...your presence. I'm sure Youko Kyuubi will refrain from stepping on your tail this time. He seemed to learn his lesson after he was bonked on the head for the eighth time."
Lulu appeared satisfied and wordlessly walked into the portal, not even bothering to look over her shoulder. Ararik turned to the others.
"I think this would be easier if everyone could hear Sakuya speak--and not just Demyx," he said, nodding his great head. He lifted a single paw and drew some sort of symbol in the air that looked like a large triangle with two smaller ones on top of it, almost like a fox head. He muttered something under his breath and Sakuya suddenly yelped as she glowed with a gentle black-pink light in Demyx's arms.
"Yaaaah!" she exclaimed, voice clear to everyone in the area. It actually sounded a lot like Naminé's, but with a slightly higher pitch and a hint of a nasaly quality to it. She pouted at Ararik as the light died down. "Ararik-kun, warn me next time!"
Ararik ignored the reaction as Naminé, Larxene, and Zexion openly stared at her.
"There," Ararik muttered, sounding content. Sakuya suddenly lept from Demyx's arms and ended up on Ararik's head, causing the large wolf to vein-pop as his ears pushed back against his skull. She purred in contentment and nuzzled his head.
"Ararik-kun, will ya come and visit me before...y'know?" she asked in a cooing voice. Ararik's eyebrow twitched.
"If you get off of my head, I might."
Sakuya grinned and slid down his neck, ending up on his back. He groaned in response and shook his head again.
"Can't you go back to your human form?" he asked, clearly annoyed. Sakuya shook her head.
"Nope!" she chirped brightly. She suddenly pouted and sat down, ears pushing back against her skull as her tails wrapped around her protectively. "I can't. MKL-sama made it so I'm stuck like this."
"Really." Ararik sounded vaguely amused. "I guess she realized that you cause less trouble in a smaller form, and that you would attract less attention without...well...never mind." He snickered rather sadistically. "You never really had them, anyway."
Sakuya scowled at him. "Hey!"
Ararik ignored her and suddenly fazed out of existance, causing her to yelp as she fell to the floor. Ararik reappeared in front of Demyx and looked up the five inches or so needed to catch his gaze.
"You're her main caregiver," he decided with a pointed nod. "You have to take care of her now. The others are merely helpers." He suddenly paused and dropped his voice until only Demyx and Sakuya could hear it, although the later was still recovering from her fall. "And try not to let the others press her for information. She knows much more than any of you about both the past and the future, and she is forbidden from revealing it. If she does so without MKL-sama's permision...well..."
Ararik left the sentence hanging and Demyx shuddered as if chilled.
Ararik suddenly turned towards the portal, tilting his head a bit as if listening to a voice only he could hear. "I must leave now." He glanced back at the group and gave a breif bow of his head. "I wish you...ehem...good health."
And with that, he walked into the Corridor and disappeared.
"So wait...what just happened?" Larxene asked with a rather stupid blink. The others ignored her and Demyx walked over to Sakuya, picking her up again and holding her gently to his chest. Sakuya, dazed, tilted her head a fraction and pushed her ear to his chest.
"...I think...I hear something..." she muttered too quietly for anyone but Demyx to hear. He froze the minute the words left her mouth, lowering his head to stare at her with wide eyes. Sakuya didn't seem to notice. "...I think...but then...I might...not..."
Suddenly snapping out of her stuper, Sakuya abruptly jumped from Demyx's arms and ended up on his head, glancing at everyone with surprised eyes. She suddenly grinned.
"So can everyone hear me now?" she called. The others' obviously-surprised expression caused her to snicker. "Good, then I don't need a translator anymore!"
"Augh, my head," someone suddenly groaned from behind the group. They all turned and stared as Axel stumbled up to them, half-hanging over Roxas's shoulder and clutching at his forehead. To put it bluntly, he looked like crap as he gazed over the assorted people.
"What happened?" he croaked. The others exchanged looks.
"It involves two neko, a demon, a half-dragon half-demon, a five-tailed wolf, and the longest three hours of my non-life," Larxene merely groaned.
"Hey, I thought I put more venom into him," Sakuya said loudly, causing both Roxas and Axel to jerk and stare at her. She suddenly shrugged and grinned. "Must be the Nobody part that dilluded it or somethin'."
"I-i-i-i-it TALKED!!" Axel half-shouted, oogling at Sakuya. Sakuya's grin widened.
"It SPOKE, you mean. 'Talked' is the incorrect past tense of the word. It is not acceptable in the English language."
Silence.
"Demyx, get your pet under control," Zexion muttered, cearly annoyed. Sakuya's chest puffed out as she bristled.
"I'm no one's pet!" she complained, frowning rather childishly. She was ignored.
"Awwww, but she's not hurting anyone!" Demyx defended. "And she won't scratch people again!" He gave Sakuya a pointed look. "Right, Sakuya-chan?"
Sakuya grinned and gave a kitty-salute. "Righto, Captain! I'll try not to unless someone pisses me off!"
"Okay, let's lay a few ground rules," Naminé said seriously, causing everyone to turn to her. She was giving Sakuya a pointed look. "One: Don't scratch anyone on purpose."
"Check!" Sakuya announced with a nod, although she mentally added, 'Unless I'm bored...'
"Two: You HAVE to listen to us if we tell you to do something."
"Oh, uh...fine, I guess..." 'Unless I don't agree with what you're saying...'
"Three: Try to keep from speaking around anyone other than us."
"Fine..." 'Unless I feel like it...'
"Four: If anyone finds out you exist other than those of us who already do, there's a pretty good chance you'll be kicked out. So try to keep a low profile."
"I'll try." 'Unless I get bored or annoyed with someone...'
"Five: Tell us if you're going anywhere. We should probably make sure you won't get caught before you leave our prescense."
"Awww, fine..." 'Not...'
"And six: You should stay around at least one of us at all times so we can take care of any complications."
"If you're going to force me," Sakuya grumbled irritably. 'But I might not do that, so don't be surprised...'
Naminé seemed content.
"Hey, can I be in charge of punishing her?" Larxene asked with just a bit too much enthusiasm. She received a series of glares, causing her to laugh nervously as she sweatdropped. "Or, uh...not..."
"Yo, uh..." Everyone turned to look as the door to the room where Xigbar was hiding creaked open, revealing Number II as he glanced around nervously. He glanced at them. "...'s th' psychopath gone?" he asked, fidgiting.
"Yep!" Sakuya chirped with a nod. She paused a moment before suddenly grinning. "And she didn't tell anyone about you being a wolf demon who trailed after a human like a lost puppy because you were so in 'love' with her that you couldn't trust her with a dog demon, despite the fact that you guys are technically cousins."
"Good," Xigbar said with a nod as everyone else stiffled snickers. He stepped out of the room and sighed in releif, grinning at her. "Was kinda worried fer a minute there."
"Hey, Xigbar," Roxas suddenly said, smirking a bit. Xigbar blinked and glanced up. "Did I just hear something about you 'trailing after a human like a lost puppy because you were so in "love" with her that you couldn't trust her with a dog demon'?"
Xigbar's jaw dropped and he whirled on Sakuya, looking like he wanted to strangle her. "I thought you said she didn't tell them!!"
"She didn't," Sakuya snickered. Xigbar blinked once more.
"Then how...?" he slowly began.
"A little 'divine intervention'," Demyx said, grinning. "But that's beside the point." He dropped his voice to a stage whisper. "I think you should check in with the Superior. He's probably getting upset that you didn't check in yet even though you've been here almost twenty-five minutes."
Xigbar paled conciderably and cursed under his breath. He was gone in an instant.
"How'd you know he didn't check in with the Superior?" Axel asked incredulously, only half-understanding what was going on.
"I didn't," Demyx snickered. "But I do have some inside information."
"Demyx the spy!" Sakuya chirped brightly. She grinned up at him. "And a cute one at that."
Demyx slowly began to blush and he sputtered. "Wh-wh-wh-WHAT?!"
Sakuya merely laughed, mentally wondering what was going to happen next. This was going to be fun...
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
"MKL-sama," Ararik groaned as he returned to their realm, once more in his human form. MKL ignored him and stared at the computer screen, wondering what she was going to do to make up for the incredibly-non-funny chapter she had just produced. Maybe completely scrap it...?
"You didn't need me to appear to get everything rolling," Ararik went on, well-aware that MKL was listening despite stewing in her own thoughts. MKL shrugged absently.
"Yeah, well, y'know," she said, not really paying attention as she began to correct some spelling mistakes, "it's just easier to set everything up for later on."
Ararik immidiately paled. "Later...on...?" he half-whimpered, aware that only MKL and Sakuya could make him sound so pathetic. MKL grinned and nodded.
"I was thinking about introducing everyone to Ararika."
MKL snickered as Ararik paled conciderably, beginning to sputter. "B-b-but w-we decided th-that..."
"That there was no need to bring that little incident up?" MKL finished, smirking rather sadistically as she leaned back in her chair. She cooed at him and gently pinched his cheek, although he was too stunned to try and bat her hand away. "Well, I think readers would be interested to know what you do in your spare time, Ararik, especially with a girl's name being involved that sounds just a bit too much like your normal one..."
"I don't do ANYTHING in my spare time except sit and think!" Ararik objected rather heatedly, apparently recovering enough to realize what was going on. "It was YOUR stupid story!"
"In which you willing participated."
Ararik scowled at MKL's even tone as she quickly opened the internet, flipping through the Secret Ansem Report files instead of opening up the game to read them. Her eyes moved rapidly back and forth as she scanned the contents.
"Because you threatened me with Sakuya," Ararik grumbled. MKL shrugged half-heartedly.
"Whatever," she decided. "We're still going to bring it up."
Ararik immidiately began to object, but MKL ignored him.
"Youko Kyuubi left to go check on his universe. He might return; might not. Depends on whether or not the Slayers, InuYasha, +Anima, and Twilight series are being nice to him."
"Why you gave him power over them as far as your stories are concerned, I will never know," Ararik grumbled rather childishly. MKL ignored him once more.
"For now, though, I have to post this before I get sent back to the Camp of Hell."
Ararik muttered something under his breath that MKL pointedly ignored again.
"Say goodbye to the readers, Ararik," she muttered, scrolling through the last Secret Ansem Report.
"Fine," he grumbled. "Goodbye, readers. Put up with this crap for a few more chapters and it'll get better. ...hopefully."
