Chapter 10:Tu vas jouer avec moi (you are going to play with me)

White.

That's all they could see, a never ending white.

Suiseiseki looked around, a troubled look on. "Shadow...where are you?"

"...I'm over here..."

Suiseiski sighed when she saw the goopy form again. "Shadow...you must stay with me, the more you stay with me, the more you shall remember, desu." Suiseiseki said as the goopy form flew towards her. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright, desu."

"Suiseiseki...where are we?"

"This is the white of 9 seconds before. Many worlds exist together in the N-field. Each world has a number and a name assigned to it. There are many doors as there are worlds." Suiseiseki said as she flew to Shadow, gripping his hand. "What do you remember?"

Shadow remained silent. 'Remember...what...'

"Shadow...What do you think...of the stars..?"

"Suiseiseki...did you say something?"

"Ah? No, desu."

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"No!"

"ehehehe...aahahahaha!" Shadow laughed a little as Suiseiseki huffed. She didn't realize that shadow was no longer a goopy form but his hedgehog self again. "Grrr....Shadow no Baka!"

"For the last time, stop calling me a...! Hey, I...I'm back to normal!?" shadow said as Suiseiseki looked back and gasped. "Whoah, desu. you reverted back faster then normal...hmmm...Shadow...what do you remember?"

Shadow stiffened at what she said. "There are lots of things I remember...more memories better forgotten."

Suiseiseki looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing...so, how are we going to get out of here, wherever here is..."

"I'm going to ask you one question, you must answer without hesitation."

"Wha-!"

"Will you open the door...or not?"

Shadow looked at Suiseiseki in question. "...Wh..What?"

Suiseiseki had a panic look on now. "Think! Think quickly you baka!" Suiseiseki yelled at Shadow as her artificial spirit flew by her.

"But...there are no doors...no anywhere..."

suddenly, the world of "the white of 9 seconds before" vanished and darkness came. Shadow and Suiseiseki fell through the darkness, unable to fly any longer.

"What the #$% is going on!?" Shadow yelled as Suiseiseki glared at him. "It's because you hesitated that you were tossed in here! You really are hopeless, desu!" Suiseiseki received a glare from shadow before continuing. "Come on! Open the door, desu!"

"There is no damn door!" Shadow yelled as Suiseiseki sighed. "Open the door before we're stuck here forever, desu!" She said as Shadow looked around. "hurry!"

"how am I suppose to find i!?"

"You brought us here. Only you can open the door, desu."

'What door!? There is none...'

Shadow concentrated and heard a voice. "Open the door..."

Shadow opened his eyes. There was a blinding flash of light and just as it came, it disappeared. They were now in a dark place with words in sentences flew all over. "where are we?"

Suiseiseki rolled her eyes as she looked to Shadow. "We're in your world Desu."

Shadow's face had a 'WTF?' look on. "M...My world?"

"Yes, your world. This is the Zero world, this is where thoughts are created and go to into nothingness,desu. Since you depend on words so much, this is how you view the world,desu." Suiseiseki explained as the words flew around, drifting long enough to read. Some bolder ones came by. "The bolder ones are people that you know who are thinking of you,desu. From what I can tell, that one over there has someone thinking of you. What is ARK, desu?" Suiseiseki said as she pointed to a bold thought that floated by.

She noticed the silence, Shadow didn't reply, she turned and saw a shocked look on his face. "Are you okay,desu?"

Shadow didn't anything, his eyes fixed on the words on the thought. "Shadow...?"

Suiseiseki looked at the thought, she read it and stopped short. 'What-?'

The thought floated away then, leaving a stunned Suiseiseki with a shocked Shadow.

'Who is this person that met father? And how can father raise someone...from the dead?' Suiseiseki thought to herself after reading the thought.

It feels strange being dead then brought back to life by this Rozen guy...Shadow...I miss you, I miss ARK and Grandfather...but I mostly miss you...

Suiseiseki looked over at Shadow and saw him tearing up. "Maria...is that really...?" Suiseiseki looked confused until she noticed something in him that she recognized. "Shadow...you too have experienced a loss as well...desu." Suiseiseki said as she moved towards Shadow and embraced him in a hug. Shadow stiffened but soon relaxed. He looked over to see sadness reflected in Suiseiseki's eyes.

"Shadow..." She then hugged him tightly. Shadow felt calm at the hug, he sighed and hugged Suiseiseki back, after all, people needs hugs once in a while. You never know when if they might need it.

"MARCH OF THE SOLDIERS!!!" Kanaria played her violin as she attacked Suigintou with it. Suigintou dodged the music notes and hurricane it came with. Kanaria however sent Pizzicato out and flash Suigintou, causing her to shield them.

Suigintou was then hit by Kanaria's attack and lost her position in the air. She began to fall from the sky.

Kanaria thought she won but her miniature victory was short lived when Suigintou suddenly flew back up right in front of her. "AAAHH!!" Kanaria screamed as she backed away. Suigintou giggled then sent out black feathers at Kanaria. Kanaria didn't have time to dodge and was hit head on.

Suigintou felt power come at her and she winced. 'Megu...please forgive me...' Shen then combined the feathers with rose petals, catching Kanaria off-guard. 'Shinku...!' Kanaria saw Suigintou's grim expression and the look of pain in her eyes. Kanaria understood and made a decision then as she got back up and began to move with grace as she dodged every single feather and petal.

'you want me to be stronger, to be able to move with grace and dance as I play the notes in my violin. Suigintou...arigatou!' Kanaria thoguht as she then jumped up and called forth her violin. "Suigintou! Let's end this,kashira!" Kanaria saw a ghost of a smile on Suigintou's features.

Suigintou nodded as she then called forth more power. She was about to send forth more feathers as Kanaria got into a position to start playing. 'Let's end-'

"Suignitou, take her rosa mystica! That's an order!"

Suigintou stopped dead in her mid-attack. Her eyes wide with shock. The collar around her neck began to shoot electricity as she didn't mvoe for ten minutes. Suigintou struggled against it but she withered in pain. "N...No!" Suigintou cried out.

Kanaria saw this and flew forward to try and get to Suigintou only to be shocked by the electric charge. "AAHH!! Suigintou!!" Kanaria yelled out as she tried to reach her elder sister only to be knocked away.

Suigintou felt her consciousness go away as her body began to be controlled again by the collar. 'No...not again! please...' Suigintou felt more power being drained from her medium, enough to cause her pain. 'No! Megu!"

"Kanaria, Second doll of Rozen Maiden, I shall be taking your Rosa Mystica!" Suigintou felt her mouth move to the words but she didn't utter them of her own will. She saw Kanaria stare at her in confusion and fear. 'Goemene...Kana...I'm so sorry...' Suigintou thought before slipping to unconsciousness, leaving the 'other' Suigintou to take care of her sister.

Kanaria didn't recognize Suigintou, her eyes were dead as the sadistic smirk on her didn't seem right. "Kana-chan...I'll be turning you into JUNK!" Suigintou's left wing then grew into a dragon head and went forth to attack Kanaria.

Kanaria started playing her violin then. "Cresendo!" Kanaria's attack clashed with Suigintou's. "Suigintou!! Please, listen to me!" Kanaria said. Suigintou giggled wickedly. "Such a pitiful girl you are Kana-chan. You were always weak! You are the most pathetic girl father ever created!!!" Suigintou said with malice i them as she spat out the lest word.

Kanaria felt like someone just put a hole in hr chest because Suigintou's words stung her deep. "S...Suigintou..." Kanaria said in shock but soon got angry. Screw saving her! She's dead! "YOU'RE WRONG!!!! YOU'RE THE MISTAKE!!! YOU ARE DEFECTIVE SUIGINTOU! BROKEN!!!!"

Suigintou's eyes widen but soon turn to slits. "How dare you! I'm not..." Suignitou's feathers fluttered with furry. Suigintou look frightening as she then unleashed a hoard of feathers and rose petals at Kanaria. Kanaria stood her ground and glared at Suigintou.

"I'm not...I'm not broken!" Suigintou then went forward and tried to claw at Kanaria but was pushed back an attack. "I'm not junk!!!!!"

Kanaria and Suigintou were battling each other furiously. Music vs. the dark angel, sister . This is the Alcie Game. Only one will remain and only one can become Alice. unless...seven equals one but...how about one equals seven?

"ENDLESS CANON!!!" Kanaria send out another attack only to be knocked down by a barrage of black feathers aimed at her. "eek!"

Suigintou giggled as she then flew forward. She got close to Kanaria who gasped at her speed. "Hello there." Suigintou said as she then grabbed her and started to plummet down to the ground. "AAAAAHHHHH!!! SUIGINTOU!!! Stop! You're going to kill us both, kashira" Kanaria yelled only to hear a giggle. "Who said I was joining you?" Suigintou giggled even more.

Metal aimed a kick at Sonic. He hit him in the stomach and sent him flying. Sonic hit the building behind him and winced in pain. 'damn it!' He thought as Metal activated his engine and began to speed towards him. Sonic got up and ran his super sonic speed. He was a blur but Metal managed to keep up. "Sonic! Don't you dare runaway!"

Sonic looked at Metal and smirked. "Who said I was running away?" Sonic then stopped, turned and hit Metal with a punch. Metal stopped and remained un-fazed as Sonic yelled out curses for the pain in his fist. "You're a Baka, you know that Sonic?" Metal Sonic said, a hint of humor and amusement in his usually monotone voice.

Sonic cracked a crooked smile. "Yeah, I'm called that everyday." Sonic then aimed a kick at Metal's head only for it to be caught by Metal's hand. He flung Sonic over his head and quickly back flipped to catch Sonic and fling him to the ground.

Sonic was bewildered was an understatement. "Since when are you taking gymnastics?"

If Metal could grin, he would be grinning manically. "Since now!" Then kicked Sonic and sent him flying to another wall.

Sonic groaned again. He opened his eyes only to 'eep' at how close Metal was to sonic. Sonic ducked when another punch was aimed at him and rolled away. "Take this Metal!" Sonic then spin-dashed at him, hitting him head on.

Metal staggered a bit but kept his posture straight. He jumped out of the way in time when Sonic came back with another spin-dash. Metal started his engine and began to go sonic speed, chasing after the blue blur until he was right next to him. Sonic jumped up and kicked Metal on the back of the head. Metal had a bored expression on his eyes as he watched Sonic. "Baka!" Then he spun around and slashed towards Sonic.

Sonic screamed as he felt the claws digging into his chest. He pushed Metal away and fell down to the floor, breathing hard as the red blood seeped from the wound.

Metal stared down at Sonic. He was startled when Sonic suddenly jumped up and spin-dashed him. Metal was sent flying into the air as Sonic attacked him from every angle. 'Damn it! Should of seen that one coming!' Metal thought as he hit the ground. Black feathers being flown off the ground from where he was.

Sonic staggered then fell down to his knees, the wound getting to him. 'He could've killed me! Damn, I guess I have to be on my toes.'

Sonic looked up when he heard a yell. He saw Kanaria falling and he quickly ran towards her to see if he could catch her. Metal, however, blocked his path. "Going somewhere?" Sonic growled as he then spin-dashed at Metal.

Suigintou let go off Kanaria and let her fall. Kanaria screamed as she seemed to fall to her doom until she heard a two voices that she'd never heard before and thorn vines wrapped around her, saving her from the fall. "What the-?!"

Suigintou growled as she then looked up and saw two figures on the building they were fighting on. "Who are you!?"

Kirakishou giggled as she bowed. "Hell ow dear sisters, I am they youngest of the Rozen Maiden siblings. The seventh doll." Maria was beside her and looked sick and frightened at what was going on here. 'So this is the Alice Game...'

30 minutes ago, the N-field

Maria was looking out the window, wondering when Kirakishou was coming back. "Hana, how do you think Shadow would react once he sees me? I mean...I'm suppose to be dead." Maria asked her spirit. It twinkled and sparkled. Maria giggled at her spirit's response. "Yeah, I bet he'll have a 'OMG!! My-best-friend-is-an-Angle/doll-and-came-down-from-heaven-to-haunt-me!' look on." Maria giggled as her spirit twinkled.

Kirakishou,however,was not having a good time. Her one visible eye shown sadness as she stared at the spirit before her. Unlike Maria's expression exclaimination, hers was grim.

"Barasuishou...please believe me! I really have changed!"

"Liar!" Barasuishou glared at the doll before her, her one visible eye piercing. "How could I've believed you! I don't know how! First you kill my father, then me and now you're going to kill Hina Ichigo!? She's your sister! YOUR GOD DAMN SISTER!!!!!" The spirit yelled and Kirakishou flinched. The hall was quiet. She and Barasuishou moved here so as to not wake Maria.

"Bara-chan..."

"Don't 'Bara-chan' me! Tck! I can't believe I've actually believed you, believed that you actually loved me!" Barasuishou said as she looked like she was about to cry. Kirakishou's heart broke as she reached out to touch Barasuishou but Bara pulled away. "How could you? You haven't changed! No, your still the crazy girl that broke my heart. Your the worst!" Barasuishou said with venom.

Kirakishou felt a stab in her chest and she couldn't take it any more. "Bara-chan..." She flung herself to Barasuishou, her arms wrapping themselves around Barasuishou's form and hugged her tight. "Please...believe me...I-I...I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Kirakishou sobbed as she hugged the shocked Barasuihsou tight. "I will always love you! I truly love you dearly Bara-chan." Kirakishou pulled back, her hands on Bara's face. "My princess..." she leaned in and kissed Barasuishou, a tear rolled down her cheek as she kissed Barasuishou.

Barasuishou stood stock still as Kirakishou kissed her. it felt real, so urgent. Barasuishou remembered the past kisses and knew that this kiss was real like on the few occasions it did feel real.

Barasuishou pulled away, her face flushed. "Kira-kun..." Barasuishou turned her head away. Kirakishou had a hurt expression on as she leaned in. "Bara-chan...?"

Barasuishou turned around and locked eyes with her. "Promise me...don't kill Hina Ichigo! Okay?"

Kirakishou stiffen then relaxed. "I'll try, I can't grantee that I can. I can't let Maria get turn into Junk..." Kirakishou cringed at the word.

Barasuishou's eyes lit up with realization. "That demon, Mephiles...his threat..." Barasuishou muttered then narrowed her one eyes. "I'll make sure he doesn't...I'll watch over you two...promise..."Barasuishou said and Kirakishou smiled."Promise..."

"Farewell, my knight in shining armor." Barasuishou said as she began to fade. Kirakishou nodded then smiled broadly."Farewell my Princess..."

Kirakishou then walked away when Barasuishou vanished completely. Kirakishou walked down the hall until she reached the room Maria was in. "Maria...let us go..."

Maria nodded, go up, and followed Kirakishou out the door.

They left the N-field

Present

Kirakishou looked at Suigintou and anger could be shown in her eye. "How dare he!" Kirakishou then wrapped Suigintou in thorn vines. Suigintou struggled to break free and thrashed out wildly. "One-sama...Tell your master if he values his life, he would release you and anyone else he holds captive that are related to the Rozen Maidens." Kirakishou said as her seething grew.

Metal was about to blast Sonic away when a white feathers suddenly attacked him. "Wha-!" Metal didn't finish as he suddenly blown away. Sonic was bewildered and stared in awe at Maria as she descended from the sky. He thought she was an angel sent from heaven. "Hello." She said in a angelic voice. Sonic blushed at this and looked down. "Hi..." He then got up and was alert when he saw Metal coming back. "Stay behind me!"

Maria looked at Metal, her blue eyes capturing Metal's figure. To say Metal was stunned was a understatement. Metal couldn't help but be caught under her gaze. "Stop what you two are doing. This is wrong, fighting doesn't solve anything." Maria said as she looked sad suddenly.

Both Metal and Sonic flinched, her sad face struck them like lighting. 'Holy-! Ack! That face!' They both thought as Maria's sad face seemed to be affecting them.

(AN: BEWARE MARIA'S SAD FACE!!!! IT BRINGS EVEN THE EVIL VILLAINS FEELING GUILTY!!)

Kanaria was let down and beside Maria. "Hello, I'm Kanaria, second doll of Rozen Maiden. And you are?" Kanaria said as Maria turned to her and smiled. "Maria. Maria Robotnik."

That got the two dumbstruck guys back down to earth alarming. Sonic went wide eyed as he stared at the girl before him. 'M...Maria? But...isn't she dead...?' Sonic thought when he looked at Maria.

Metal however was looking at Maria intently. 'She seems human enough but I sense no body heat from her and she seems to be like Suigintou-chan...unless' Metal Sonic averted his red eyes to Suigintou's direction, he glared intently at how Suigintou was bound by the vines. 'Suigintou...!'

Before anyone could blink, before anyone could react. They couldn't expect this, the air whooshing and the engine roaring to life. they didn't expect to hear a yell nor did they expect Kirakishou's vines being torn apart by Metal. Or how Metal caught Suigintou in his arms and held her close to him, like a lover.

No one expected this from Metal Sonic, the suppose heartless robot who somehow, gained one.
