Story: ROFL Kingdom Hearts!
Notes: No plot line. Random updates. Enjoy!
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
MKL: So within the next few chapters, we're gunna bring in a character made by none other than Shinkutsuki, the person who wrote the first three chapters and came up with this whole idea! -grins-
Ararik: -stares- ...you are aware that this is going to screw with the story line if you keep bringing in random characters, right?
MKL: -blinks innocently- What story line?
Ararik: -.- Good point.
MKL: -snickers- Yeah, that's what I thought. So yeah, let's start, shall we? Sakuya, be prepared! It's going to be fun!
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
Sakuya shuddered in bed that night, eyes wide in terror at the vision of Ararik-kun and MKL-sama that she had just had. If she was reading between the lines correctly, the one coming to visit was none other than one of Ararik's ex-girlfriends (the only one he willingly dated, and the only one he went out with outside of a story), and that was NOT going to end well...
She shuddered again and Demyx stirred in his sleep, muttering something about chickens. She quietly jumped out of bed and glanced over her should only a moment before opening up a portal and stepping through, quickly closing it behind her.
In order to handle this one, Sakuya was going to need some major help.

"Aaaaaaah, where is she, where is she, WHERE IS SHE?!" Demyx wailed that following morning, running up and down the hallways...at four o'clock AM.
"Shut up, Demyx!" Marluxia snarled, throwing open his door and glaring at Demyx. Demyx paused and stiffled a snicker at the pink p.j.'s Marluxia wore, with yellow flowers all over them. Marluxia yawned and rubbed at his eye, glancing up and down the hallway and absently noting that no one else seemed to care the Water Whimp (MKL: -coos- Awww, poor Demy...just because Marli doesn't like you...!) was rushing around and desturbing their sleep. Then again, with who the neighbors were, he really shouldn't have been surprised.
"What's wrong?" Marluxia finally asked after a few moments, raising his hand and stiffling a yawn. Demyx half-sobbed and shook his head rapidly.
"It's my--" he began before cutting himself off. He cleared his throat and quickly re-worded the sentence. "A Heartless I was keeping as a pet! She got loose and I'm reeeeeeeeally worried!"
Marluxia blinked sleepily, tilting his head. "Uhhhh, what does that matter? We're all Nobodys--the only ones who would really need to worry were any intruders."
Demyx shook his head again. "No, I know that, but...if the Superior finds out about her, she might...she might..."
He choaked off and looked like he wanted to cry, causing Marluxia to shift uncomfortably. He was NOT good with tears...at all.
"Well, uh..." Marluxia began before cutting himself off, scratching the back of his head absently. He watched Demyx struggle to hold back tears for a few more moments before giving a rather annoyed sigh. "I'll be out to help in a minute."
"Thanks, Marli!" Demyx immidiately shouted with a grin, lunging to his feet and glomping the elder, pink-haired man. Marluxia glowered at him and shoved the blonde off.
"I'll help if you don't do that again."
Demyx grinned happily and saluted his agreement as Marluxia slowly closed the door to his room, breifly wondering exactly what the hell he had just gotten himself into...
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
Hallway
"So where was the last place you saw her, Demyx?" Marluxia asked, yawning again. Demyx sniffled.
"In my room," he admitted quietly, opening the door. Marluxia wasn't as surprised as he probably should have been to find the room was all different shades of blue with CDs, DVDs, and video games all over, not to mention the odd instrument and recording device. Actually, the only surprising thing was the bookshelf full of fancy books such as First To Die by James Paterson and a few books he apparently wrote himself.
Marluxia slowly arched an eyebrow and walked over to the bookshelf, pulling off a book by the name of Vincent: A Vampire's Story (MKL: -grins- Technically a ffVII story I'm planning to put up soon, but...) He opened the cover and read the flap, his other eyebrow raising to join the first as he glanced up at Demyx. "You wrote this?"
Demyx flushed a light red and nodded, scratching his nose in embaressment.
"Y-yeah," he admitted. "It was when I first got here. I...I haven't really had time lately to sit down, but...uh..."
Marluxia merely shrugged and put the book back. "Cool, I guess," he muttered reluctantly. He glanced at Demyx again and looked around. "So where, exactly, was the last place you saw her?"
"Right here," Demyx said, gently placing his hand on the spot on the pillow where Sakuya had been laying, fast asleep, at 12:45 the night before. Marluxia nodded and glanced down, frowning as he crouched next to the bed.
"...if we had Zexion's nose, we could trail her like that, but since we don't..." He mumbled something and then lifted his gaze, blue-green eyes narrowed a fraction.
"She disappeared into a Corridor of Darkness," Marluxia suddenly decided with a nod.
"How'd you figure that out?" Demyx asked, eyes wide. Marluxia gestured to a spot in the wall.
"There's a bit of a Darkness residue there." Demyx blinked and tilted his head, and sure enough, there was a touch of energy falling from the wall. "I'm thinking she needed food or something and wasn't going to wait for you to wake up to get it."
Demyx half-wailed again, shaking his head rapidly. "But Sakuya KNOWS I would take her out for food if she needed it! I told her so!"
Marluxia paused and frowned, then groaned and rolled his eyes. "Demyx, Heartless don't have the mental capacity to understand human speech," he muttered, hoping his words were helping. Judging by the way Demyx's eyes teared up, they weren't. "Ugh! Fine, let's keep looking. She might have come back to the castle after she ate..."
Demyx brightened and nodded happily. "Okay!" he chirped, following Marluxia out of the room as the pink-haired man groaned to himself.
It was STILL way too early to do this...!
"So where did you first meet the Heartless?" Marluxia questioned, glancing over his shoulder. Demyx paused and tilted his head, tapping his chin thoughtfully.
"Uh...it was...outside in front of the castle!" he decided, nodding once he was sure.
"Can you open a Corridor there?"
"Sure!" Demyx raised his hand and focused for a moment before opening a Corridor, letting Marluxia step through before following. They ended up in the cortyard in front of the castle, at which point in time Demyx led Marluxia to the crator where Sakuya had crashed down to the Planet. He gestured to the crator. "Right down there, in the middle!"
Marluxia oogled at the crator. "Since when has THIS been here?" he questioned. Demyx put a hand to his chin thoughtfully.
"Uh...yesterday morning," he admitted thoughtfully. He suddenly sniffed, tearing up again. "That's when I found her...!"
"Demyx, get a hold of yourself!" Marluxia hid his helplessness with anger and rolled his eyes. "Look, let's just head down there and make sure she's not returning to where she appeared, alright? Heartless tend to go to places they're familiar with."
Demyx sniffled, unwilling to tell Marluxia the truth, and simply nodded bleakly. Marluxia nodded in response and jumped into the hole, slidding down the side like he was snowboarding as Demyx followed. Marluxia landed perfectly, but then Demyx crashed into him and sent them both sprawling. Marluxia growled up at him.
"Get off, Demyx," he grunted, eyes narrowed dangerously. Demyx turned a nice shade of red and scrambled to his feet, reaching down to help Marluxia up.
"Uh, sorry," he muttered, scratching the side of his nose. Marluxia grunted in response and glanced around, frowning.
"...I don't see anything..." He suddenly paused and glanced at Demyx, tilting his head. "Hey, what kind of Heartless is she, anyway?"
Demyx stuttered and was about to respond, but before he could, there was an excited 'mew' from up above. His expression brightened and he glanced up.
"Sakuya?!" he called out excitedly. He lifted his hands and Sakuya jumped down, sending him stumbling back even as he laughed and nuzzled her head with his chin. "Oh thank Hearts you're okay!"
"Of course, silly!" Sakuya giggled, nuzzling him back. "Were ya worried about me?"
"Well yeah!" Demyx pouted and held her out at arm's length in front of him. "I woke up to go to the bathroom and you were gone! I didn't even have a note!"
Sakuya rolled her eyes. "Silly, that's just because I don't have opposable thumbs! If you were patient, I would've been back. I was only gone, like, three hours..."
"I was searching for two," Demyx muttered, blushing gently. Sakuya snickered and rolled her eyes before noticing the openly-staring Marluxia and slowly flushing behind her fur.
"Uh...Demy..." she muttered. Demyx blinked and pulled her back before turning around, noticing his mistake when he saw Marluxia giving him a weird look.
"What's that, where'd it come from, and why's it talking?" Marluxia asked slowly. Demyx laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head, bowing his head a fraction as he held Sakuya to his chest with his free arm.
"Oh, uh," he began to stutter slowly.
"I'm Sakuya, neko-goddess!" Sakuya chirped, grinning at Marluxia as her tails swished back and forth excitedly. "And you're Marluxia, Number Eleven!" She giggled at the look on his face. "You've got powers over plants, right?" Marluxia silently nodded, obviously still trying to wrap his mind around that. "That's really cool!"
"Wait, YOU'RE the neko-goddess?" he finally asked, shaking his head rapidly and giving her a disbeleiving look. Sakuya nodded rapidly as Marluxia put a hand to his head and groaned. "Oh...I wonder how Koto would react to this..."
Sakuya's ears perked up and she tilted her head. "Koto from Makai?" Marluxia nodded again. "Oh, so then you're--"
Marluxia interupted her, a thin blush appearing over his nose. "Yes."
Sakuya grinned at him and jumped from Demyx's arms, landing daintily in front of Marluxia. She bowed rather dramatically. "Wonderful to meet you, Youko-sama."
Marluxia shifted nervously and glanced to the side. "Uh, I'm not Youko anymore," he muttered. "I wasn't even Youko when I turned into a Nobody..."
"Oh, right!" Sakuya suddenly said, giggling as she rose from her bow. "You were Kurama, right?!"
"Or Shuichi, depending on who you asked..."
Sakuya nodded enthusiastically. "Well, either way, MKL-sama is really happy with everything you did for the kitsune!" At Marluxia's weird look, she went on. "I mean, you built up this huge reputation and everything...so..."
Marluxia lifted one shoulder in a half-shrug. "I suppose..." he said, not sounding convinced. Sakuya merely grinned again.
"Okay, I'm lost," Demyx admitted, frowning. Sakuya glanced back at him a cooed gently.
"Don't worry, Demy," she chuckled. "You're not going to get a lot of connections I make."
Demyx seemed content with that answer as Sakuya jumped up onto his shoulder, settling against him and mewing happily. "So let's go back, 'kay?" she asked brightly. "I'm kinda hungry..."
"Sure," Demyx said, grinning again. He opened a Corridor of Darkness, then paused to glance over his shoulder at Marluxia, who seemed mildly uncomfortable. His grin widened and picked up Sakuya, setting her on the ground. "You go ahead, okay? I've got somethin' ta talk to Marli about."
Sakuya grinned and nodded enthusiastically, bounding into the portal. Demyx waited a few moments before turning to Marluxia, now smiling.
"Hey, um, I know you're not on the best of terms with Zexion right now, but...do ya wanna come with us?" At Marluxia's look, he quickly elaborated, now mildly embaressed. "I mean, I wanna thank you for helpin' me to find Sakuya, and I, uh...well, Sakuya seems ta know your Somebody, so I'm sure she would like it if you hung out with us today..."
Marluxia smirked and nodded. "I guess I can hang out for a while," he said, acting aloof despite the fact that he was secretly estatic. He could probe the mind of a goddess of the Universe, and if he could figure out what he needed, he might be able to find out his own plan for the Organization...
Demyx grinned again and nodded, walking into the portal with Marluxia not far behind.
They walked into chaos.
"Hey, pass the salt, will ya?!" Axel called from the stove, glancing over his shoulder. Roxas rolled his eyes and tossed it to him, Axel easily catching it. Please take the time to note that Axel was wearing a hot pink apron that said, "Don't laugh. This is your girlfriend's apron".
"Axel, what the hell is this?" Larxene groaned from the table, arching an eyebrow and poking a peice of something charred behind recognition on her plate. It gurgled at her and began to crawl away, causing her to squeel in alarm and jump to her feet. Axel merely grinned.
"My specialty--"
"The Living Burnt Pancake of Doom?" Sakuya offered from on top of Zexion's head, tilting her own head in confusion. Axel blinked and glanced back at her.
"How'd you know that?" he asked stupidly. Sakuya pretended not to hear him.
"He's going to kill us all," Zexion muttered, poking his own concoction with a spork. It seemed more enthusiastic than Larxene's and swallowed Zexion's plastic spork. Zexion slowly arched an eyebrow and summoned his Lexicon, taking notes. "Fancinating..."
"Zexion, you have a weird sense of humor," Naminé said, giving him a weird look. Zexion gave her a blank expression in return, glancing up from his Lexicon as the concoction began to swallow his plate.
"Humor? Naminé, this is not humor. This is SCIENCE."
"Fine, then you have a weird sense of science," Roxas snorted, smashing Zexion's concoction with his Oblivion Keyblade and watching as it cried out in pain, making a sound that sounded suspiciously like 'Mommmmyyyyyy!!'. It fell still and Roxas poked it once to make sure before deciding he was satisfied and dismissing Oblivion, ignoring Zexion's angry look.
"What the hell?" Marluxia asked with a blink. He was ignored.
"Order up for Naminé!" Axel said with a grin, holding out another plate. This concoction was bubbling and making roaring sound that should not have been so loud coming from something so small.
"Uh, no thank you," she quickly said, sweatdropping in her horror. Axel shrugged and then seemed to notice Demyx and Marluxia, at which point in time he grinned.
"Oh, hey, Demy! Marls!" He held up the plate to them and his grin widened. "Want some?"
"I, uh, already ate, thanks," Demyx said with a sweatdrop. And who could blame him, since the concoction appeared ready to try and bite off Axel's hand.
"As did I!" Marluxia offered, sweatdropping along with Demyx. Axel shrugged again.
"Your loss," he decided, lifting a finger and pointing it at the concoction when it tried to eat his arm. He lit it on fire and it let out a dieing scream of pain before becoming still, at which point in time he grabbed a fork and dug in. Everyone watched with horror as he bit into it and grinned around his mouthful of food. "Mmmmmm, 's gwoud..."
"Okay, that's just nasty," Sakuya decided, looking disgusted. Everyone (with the exception of Axel) nodded their agreement with various expressions of disgust/horror on their face. Larxene (who had turned green) completely fled the room, and a moment later, they could hear retching sounds from the bathroom nextdoor. Naminé and Demyx looked like they wanted to join her, but decided against it.
"Axel, uh, what's in this, exactly?" Sakuya decided to chance asking, looking green under her fur. Axel blinked around a mouthful of food and swallowed it, shrugging.
"Well, salt, and maple syrup, and chocolate chips, and cookie dough, and sprinkles on top...and I think I threw in there some extra sugar and cooked it for a bit longer than it was supposed to, but otherwise..." he listed, looking thoughtful. The only sound was from Larxene's forgotten food, which gurgled in the corner. Sakuya quickly set it on fire and caused it to die, although it did not scream like its "friends". It merely opened a single black "eye" and glared at her as it slowly disappeared.
"I think I'll make some waffles for the rest of us," Marluxia decided, inching his way around the table and walking over to the kitchen. He 'gently' (not) shoved Axel out of the way and began to grab ingredients, muttering to himself about 'amature chefs' before beginning. Everyone watched in shock as he expertly flipped, stirred, and cooked to perfection, producing a plate full of perfectly-prepared waffles in less than ten minutes. Larxene returned sometime during that and was equally shocked, although Sakuya mewed happily, not bothering to use words as Marluxia brought the plate over to the table and set it down.
"Wow, those look good!" Demyx said, looking excited. Marluxia smirked and nodded, turning back to the kitchen and grabbing a smaller plate, putting the last waffle on it and topping it with strawberries and maple syrup before placing it on the ground for Sakuya. She grinned her thanks and then abruptly dug in.
"Wow, they ARE good!" Larxene added brightly as she dug in. She glanced up at Marluxia curiously as he watched them dig in, looking vaguely smug. "How'd ya learn how to cook like that?"
Marluxia paused for an instant before shrugging. "My Somebody's mother was in the hospital for a few months, and when she got back, she was so weak I had to make meals for the both of us," he said, blushing slightly and scratching the side of his nose as he stared up at the ceiling. "I was alone in the house for a long time, so I guess I had time to perfect everything..."
"While staying top of your class and going to visit your mother for hours on end!" Sakuya added perkily, grinning as she looked up from her now-cleaned plate. She had a single dab of strawberry juice on the tip of her nose as she sat down, licking her paws and cleaning herself off. She glanced up with another grin after cleaning off her face. "Super genious, I tell ya!"
Marluxia's blush deepened as everyone turned to stare at him. "Nothing that dramatic. Besides, I had...help."
Sakuya chuckled and nodded her agreement as Marluxia stared off into space, frowning a bit at his own thoughts. There was no more talk until breakfast was over.
"So, what should we do today?" Roxas asked boredly when everyone was finished.
"Xigbar probably has missions for us," Axel muttered dejectedly, frowning down at his empty plate. All he had eaten was "The Living Burnt Pancake of Doom", but he didn't seem to mind, so no one said anything. "We've all been on leave for so long..."
"How right you are!" a voice suddenly said from overhead. Everyone jerked (a few people face-faulted) as Xigbar dropped down from the ceiling, grinning stupidly and nodding. "Hiya, guys. An' how're WE doin' taday?"
"Not very well, since we have missions," Zexion muttered, obviously annoyed. Xigbar's grin widened and he waggled his finger at Zexion.
"Hey, Iz, don't be down!" Zexion shot Xigbar an annoyed look at his old nickname, but Xigbar pretended not to notice. "Anyway, only a few a ya've got missions. I managed ta work it so most a ya would be able ta hang with Sakuya."
"Wow, thanks, Koga!" Sakuya said brightly, jumping up to sit on his head. He lifted his gaze and grinned.
"Sure thing, Kirara!"
Sakuya chuckled and shook her head as Marluxia and Axel watched in confusion, being the only two not to understand a thing they were refering to. Xigbar quickly went on and handed out folders.
"'Kay, so today, we got Saïx," he opened up a portal in the air and shoved the folder through, closing it just as a curse flew through the portal, "Lux," he opened another portal, a groan being heard from the other side, "Aels," no sound came with the exception of a snort, "Dil," a muttered curse, "Ev," a blast of cold air and a loud, complaining voice which was quickly cut off, "me," he pouted to himself and gave them a look that showed that they should probably be appreciative, "and Rox."
"Wait, why me?" Roxas grumbled. Xigbar chuckled and reached over, ruffling the lowest number's hair and handing over the folder.
"'Cause yer th' newest member an' need a lotta missions ta catch up ta th' rest a us," Xigbar said with a knowing grin. Roxas mumbled something under his breath and quickly "straightened" his hair. Xigbar bowed at the rest of the group, causing Sakuya to jump into Demyx's arms. "An' now I must bid ya, later!"
And with that, he disappeared.
"Has he always been this theatrical?" Larxene asked Sakuya dryly. The neko grinned.
"Actually, he used to be worse," she chuckled. "He was big on making dramatic enterences and fighting with as much flair as possible, and he tended to show off more in front of Kagome, the human he liked and wanted to be his, erm, mate, and he was so fast he created these whirlwinds when he ran that blew most of our group into whatever happened to be in our way."
"Really?" Roxas asked, blinking once as he glanced up from his folder. Sakuya snickered and nodded.
"Yep!"
"See ya later, Rox?" Axel asked with a grin. Roxas rolled his eyes and stood up.
"No duh," he said, smirking. "I'm not gunna just abandon ya, Ax. 'Kay?"
Axel chuckled. "I know."
And with that, Roxas nodded his goodbye to everyone and left.
At "'Kay", Sakuya's grin fell and her ears suddenly drooped, as did her tails. She watched silently as Roxas left, whimpering quietly a moment later.
"Somethin' wrong, Sakuya?" Zexion asked, arching an eyebrow. Sakuya immidiately forced a smile and shook her head as enthusiastically as she could, unaware that her tails and ears were still droooping.
"Nope!" she 'assured' him with a grin. "Don't worry--I'm fine."
Zexion and the others looked suspcious, but then Demyx remembered Ararik's warning before he left. "Try not to let the others press her for information," the multi-tailed wolf had muttered. "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..."
"Okay then!" Demyx interupted any attempts to press Sakuya for information. The neko-goddess glanced up at him with a blink and blue eyes locked with red/blue. Demyx gave her a pointed look as he continued to smile and went on. "So, what do YOU think we should do today, Sakuya?"
Sakuya blinked once more before grinning and giving him a thankful look, glancing at the rest of the room's occupents. They were all looking at her expectantly.
"Well, I've got this friend who specializes in dimention hopping," she said slowly, lifting a paw and holding it to her chin in a thinking position. The others all exchanged looks as she went on, grinning brightly. "And there's this really awesome place I think you guys'd have fun visiting!"
"Without Roxas?" Naminé asked, sounding vaguely forlorn. Sakuya glanced at Demyx and Marluxia for help, which they readily gave.
"If it's the realm I'm thinking of, Roxas wouldn't like it there," Marluxia interupted. Sakuya grinned and nodded enthusiastically.
"Maybe it's for the better," Demyx added. "After all, since he's kinda startin' to regain the memories of his life as a Somebody..."
"Ah, that sucks," Larxene said with a frown. "I remember that." She shuddered. "Not pleasent."
"I'm inclined to agree," Zexion said dryly, remembering his own experience long before anyone else's.
"Anyway!" Sakuya interupted the brooding thoughts, grinning, "if my suspicion's right, there's a few people here who might have a ball fightin' evil creatures that wanna tear ya to shreads and meetin' the ORIGINALS of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Commity, with the exception of Merlin and potentionally Leon..."
"Their originals?" Naminé asked, tilting her head in confusion. Sakuya's grin widened and she nodded.
"It's sorta like DiZ's realm." At their continued confused looks, Sakuya pouted. "Okay, so, the people in this dimention's Hollow Bastion are based off of peoples from another realm, called Gaia, with the exceptions of Merlin and Leon. It's gunna be fun ta visit. Also," she casted a sly look over in the direction of Axel, Zexion, and Larxene, "some people here might have counterparts there."
"Really?" Zexion asked, sounding interested. "Hmmm..."
"Sounds like fun!" Demyx chirped. Marluxia nodded his silent agreement.
"Sure, I'm game," Axel said with a grin.
"Why not?" Larxene asked rhetorically, giving a grin. "I'm curious about who's there who we know."
"...okay," Naminé finally said, smiling brightly as she closed her eyes and nodded, "just so long as we're back by the time Roxas is!"
"Dimention times work totally differently," Sakuya assured her with a grin. "Once my friend twists dimentional holes into the fabric of the universes, he can make it so one day here can equal up to three weeks there!"
"Sweet!" Demyx said with a grin.
"Can you get him now?" Zexion asked, obviously interested. Sakuya's grin widened as she gave another nod.
"Yep! He was the one I was visiting this morning," she added to Demyx and Marluxia. Demyx flushed gently and muttered something under his breath as Marluxia merely gave her an amused look. Sakuya quickly turned around and opened a Corridor of Darkness flashing gently with silver, blue, and light pink lightening. She glanced over her shoulder and gave a wave of her paw goodbye before disappearing from sight, leaving the portal to gently close behind her.
This was going to get interesting...
( ) - ( ) - ( ) - ( )
"She's going to tear about the fabric of space and time?!" Ararik squawked. MKL rolled her eyes at him, scanning a Sylphiel/Kopii Rezo story by Aloria.
"Geesh, Ararik-san, you act as though we don't do that every day for crossovers," she chuckled. Ararik fumed and glared at her.
"That's different. We use disposable dimentions for that. However, this is THE REAL DEAL! If we screw something up here--"
"We can always erase their memories again."
"Because that worked out so well last time," Ararik said dryly, folding his arms over his chest. Rather abruptly, a pair of hands tipped with sharp black claws were wrapped around his neck and his back was thrown against the wall with such force he coughed up a mouthful of blood upon impact, clawing at the hands that held him. MKL glowered at him, eyes burning a feirce, bloodthursty red instead of their usual calm purple-gold.
"Ararik-teme, I have had it up to my ears with your attitude," she growled. Her grip on his neck tightened and his own eyes widened as he suddenly phased into his tailed beast form, whimpering sadly. "BA and Sakuya might find it amusing and even attractive, but after nearly a year of hearing it, I am starting to loose my patience."
Ararik jerked in her grip and twisted his head to the side, continuing to whimper. MKL suddenly seemed to realize what she was doing and gasped, eyes going wide (and purple-gold) as she let go of him and allowed him to fall to the ground, fading back to his human form and coughing. "Zohmypie, Ararik-san, I am SO sorry! I...I...!"
"I-it's f-f-fine," Ararik managed to stammer, wincing as he rubbed at his throat. He waited a few moments for the damage to repair itself before nodding at her. "I get it. As your oldest muse, I guess I should try and act more mature, huh?"
He struggled to crack a smile at that and MKL managed a soft smile of her own, reaching down with a helping hand. He grabbed it greatfully and she hauled him to his feet. "Then you're okay?" she asked quietly. Ararik merely smirked.
"It takes more than a simple choaking to kill me, MKL-sama."
MKL chuckled and nodded. "I suppose so." She paused. "Then maybe you should dismiss us, eh, Ararik...chan?"
Ararik arched an eyebrow at that. Well, it was a girl's title, but it was better than -san (which was basically 'mister') or -teme ('bastard'), so...
"Yeah, sure," he said, managing a smile. He quickly scowled and turned to the audience. "So yeah, any problems, contact us. We could use an OC coming up, one that's not a neko, or if someone other than Polish or Shinkutsuki wants to change the race of their demons...well..."
"It'd work!" MKL said brightly. She waved. "So we've gotta go. I'm going back to the Camp of Hell soon, so...yeah. Ararik?"
Ararik shrugged and drew the arrow to the review button, as seen below.
"Later!" MKL added as Ararik said, "Bye."
And with that, they both disappeared once more.
