D?! Bue hesitantly asked, he chuckled making bue even more scared. "OF COURSE! Who else….my dear?" She threw up once more. DON'T CALL ME 'YOUR DEAR'! "It's a shame, really, that you've resorted to this form, a ghost, an apparition, phantom. You can't touch anything, eat anything…., punch anything. And not even able to be free, you're stuck here! Doesn't that bug you at all?" Bue slowly floated back with a scared and upset look on her face. "You can't even talk, you can only speak through thought...I'd go mad!" YOU ARE MAD! "Now now, let's not be too mean, in fact, you should be apologizing to the person who's gonna help you!" Bue was pissed and annoyed as she started getting over her fear but then something crossed her mind, Your DEAD body's still in the darkness! How're 'ya doin' thi-? "I followed him, just before he escaped...I snuck out." Possession? "I guess you could say that." A-and...what about MY body? It's a soulless husk underwater. "It's protected, you don't have to worry." Bue looked away and was thinking deeply, she floated over to the bed and sat down trying to figure out wether he was telling the truth or not. He suspected this and so, put his hand on the mirror and it showed her the darkness, she didn't look. He flew his hand up and swung it back down, pulling her towards him while she tried to resist. He pulled her chin making her face the mirror so she could see what was really happening, her body was in another forcefield and she sighed in relief. She smiled and D sneered, bue noticed and wouldn't face him. "You're still thinking about that kiss aren't you?" I'm thinking about how much it disgusted me! "But you're thinking about it nonetheless, I'm pleased." She jumped back with a quieter shriek and close to the door, D just snickered. Bue looked back at the mirror reluctantly and saw something glowing from her original body. I-is that…-? "A fragment of your soul, I put it in there to preserve the body." She walked closer to the mirror for further inspection and curiosity, D predicted as such but she finally came to her senses. GIVE BACK MAL'S BODY! "I was wondering when you'd get around to that question." But….tell me this….why won't you die?! you've been drowned, stabbed…..so why...WHY WON'T YOU DIE?! "Are you sure you REALLY care to know?" Bue paused then nodded hesitantly. "I'm the darkness….as long as YOU or mal or mike have darkness in your soul….I'LL ALWAYS LIVE!" Bue stepped back slowly. That explains it…barely. Now then….why do you want me to get my body back?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOOK MY SOUL! He chuckled again with a murderous smile. "I could give you your soul back right here and now if you want?" And what do YOU get out of it? D put his hands behind his back and bue stepped back once more, D pulled out a large glowing yellow orb that bue just knew was her soul. When D walked closer to her with the orb out she continued back then, he stopped and she stopped. She was mesmerized and walked forward. "BUE, NO!" Bue whipped her head around, it came from the door, Mike? There was a crack in the door for spying. "BUE DON'T! IT'S TAINTED!" What the…-? D was mad. "So what?! It was ALWAYS tainted from the beginning!" Bue looked back down at the soul and saw it was filled with darkness...it merely had a false yellow shine and outline. She was rightly angered after feeling such pity for what he had done to the orb that she once called her own. D put it in her hands by force and her face turned back to it's original form...her evil side. Bue barely had control of her body anymore as vito and mike tried to ram the door but failed each time so they could only watch. D was laughing, "C'mon Buena, let's go home." She was frustrated and with as much strength as she had, she lifted the large black and yellow orb above her head, D was shocked, "Wha-wha-what're 'ya going to do?...buena?" He stuttered nervously, bue looked over to him furious. She concentrated with all her might…. "Y-YOU W-WA-WANT THIS S-SOUL SO B-B-BAD...YOU CAN HAVE IT! IN HELL!" She spoke and with those final words...she threw it to the ground as hard as she could and it broke like glass. Her arms became solid, making mike and the others sigh in relief that they thought she had been freed so with that, she punched D then they turned see through again. Everyone gasped as bue began to fade. D had no choice but to watch in horror, "NOOO!" He ran up and... hugged her one last time...she was surprised but then...smiled. "Thanks...D." She faded away and D fell to his knees, he let the others come in as well but he wouldn't let them see his face. No one moved an inch, they all just stared at D with pity as he quietly sobbed. Then he got up, ignoring everybody else, he started walking towards the mirror which lead back to the darkness. "WAIT D!...that's...mal's body." He glared, "if I can't have bue….I'll gladly settle for mal." Mike ran over to grab his arm, "mal, listen to me! Can you hear me?!" D snarled and took one step through the mirror but the rest of his body was still in the room. He shook his head wildly until he stopped and stared at mike with brown eyes. "MIKE!" At first he smiled then he saw the mirror with mal's foot still in it. "Mal, get away from the mirror, HURRY!" Mal looked over and saw D in the mirror as opposed to his own reflection, he screamed just like bue and D laughed. Then mal just looked annoyed and turned to mike, "so….why isn't the little psycho dead yet?" No one answered. He made the attempt to pull his leg out of the darkness but felt a hand keeping it in place, he got scared again when he frantically looked around and what seemed like one of D's illusions, no one was there all of a sudden. "MIKE?! D WHAT'D YOU DO?!" He stayed silent and he stepped out of the mirror, mal finally had his foot again and jumped back. "What're you so scared of?" Mal didn't want to answer knowing he'd sound like some weakling if he said 'you'. He looked down and saw a broken glassy orb, it was entirely pitch black so mal couldn't tell precisely what it was, D looked down at the orb also and read his thoughts. "It's bue's former soul….. She's dead." Mal was distraught and sickened, he faced D and had murder in his eyes. He was about to charge him until he saw the dark orb turning into black mist that attached itself to the walls making the room darker then it got bigger and was headed toward mal. He ran to the other wall and D walked closer, he went over to the door and tried his best to get it open, both push and pull, concentrated on it to throw off D's spell but nothing. When he rammed it he just got a bruise on his arm. Mal turned around and the minute he did he saw D teleport, he was right in front of his face with a sly grin, mal was shaking and sweating. "Relax, I'm not gonna take your soul." "But you ARE planning to take me back to the darkness aren't you!" D took one step back and chuckled, he had his hands on his stomach and focused as another orb began to form. It was black and glowed dark purple….it was D's soul. "Actually...I was going to let you have mine." "WHAT?! What're you planning?" D inched closer to mal and his dark circles came back, he couldn't tell but he was able to feel like he was changing somehow and pulled up another mirror. His face was turning evil again and he got scared, What's happening to my body, why's it changing to my evil form? "'cause you're surrounded by it!" Mal looked around and had hardly even noticed that that the room had become almost entirely black all except for the small space of floor that him and D were standing on, he turned around to bang on the door but it was just another pitch black wall. D put the soul into mal's body, he screamed in pain and fell to his knees. "Now then…., why don't we go home." Mal was half awake, barely conscious, he looked toward his right and saw the mirror leading back to the darkness and chuckled under his breath. "What's so funny?" "Oh nothing….just-" "spit it out!" "I know that there's no point in me going with you, why do you want me anyway?" D couldn't answer. "It's because I'm merely….bue's….replacement, aren't I?" Mal got up and looked at D but with a pitying look. "DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!" He slapped mal while he was starting to get cocky, he laughed some more and his teeth sharpened, this time D smiled. D's eyes glowed red and his teeth sharpened even more, frightening mal. " Apparently I'm not the only mad one here!" He laughed. Mal was getting discouraged and continued to step back then D lifted his arms up and brought 2 mirrors to the surface, despite the distance the mirrors had amplified close ups to show both his and D's faces. They were both sadistic and identical, mal nearly threw up as bue did but swallowed it followed by a gag. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" He ran to one of the walls looking away from the mirrors and D who was snickering, he tried to calm down but just got angrier instead. "What do you want from me?!" "You." D answered bluntly giving mal a shocked look as he started to shake. "You can't take me back to the darkness, I WON'T LET YOU!" D looked down with only a sickened smile visible to mal and moved closer to him. "Get away from me! Stay back!" D teleported again but instead of showing up in a random place he remained invisible until he showed up next to mal and punched him as hard as he could, throwing him into the wall. He staggered but got up just to see D teleport once more and kick him full force in his spine making him hit the opposite wall with huge impact. Mal got up again but this time D didn't teleport, he was just right in front of him. D gave him an uppercut then a Falcon Punch and he toppled over barely moving. He laughed psychotically, "EVEN WITH TWO SOULS YOU'RE PRACTICALLY DEFENSELESS!" Mal got up once again and charged D but he simply jumped out of the way causing mal to fall down again, when he turned over and saw D right above him looking ready to kill his face turned much more fearful than before. He began to crawl back, "coward." Then he turned the full length mirror that mal had originally, around to face him but it merely showed him the darkness, he stepped back again. D walked towards him slowly. "You,...you get the hell a-a-away fr-from m-me, I won't g-go back, y-you can't m-make... me…". He continued back until he was at the wall and there he began to sweat and shake, he looked around but the room was small and D sneered. "If I can't have bue, I'll have you instead, now then...c'mon, you've lost. Now let's leave..for good." "NO! I DON'T WA-" "YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ANYMORE!" D yelled louder than him as he grabbed him by the wrist frustrated and impatiently, though while he was being pulled up he was being healed. Through the grip D also took back his soul and mal fell to his knees and was knocked out. Just then D heard a loud banging on the wall where the door was, they were right by the mirror so he didn't care...he wanted an audience.
