Drabble Notes – Dark Magician x Harpie's Lady, based in an AU world where the monsters exist.

---

He knew about her. Everyone knew of the Harpies. They were never good news. And there were a lot of them too. From the top of his head he could remember the dragon, the sisters, the brother and the girl, but out of all of them the Harpie's Lady was the deadliest of them all.

And she was there. Walking over to him with a gaze that he could neither drop nor shake off. She wanted something and he didn't want to be there to find out what.

He internally scolded himself for worrying. He was a high level magician and she was just a low level. Even if she did have a reputation there was no way she could stand up to him in battle.

"I heard you were looking for team mates to assist you in your rescue mission," she commented casually as she approached.

He was shocked. Word did travel fast.

"Yes, but you're not the kind of help I was looking for. No offence meant," He said, in a tone that suggested he didn't care if she took offence or not.

She scowled and replied, "Why would that be?"

"You're not powerful enough. I'm only looking monsters who have a level over four," he said shortly.

She laughed sharply and grinned a wicked grin at him before answering, "You'd be surprised how skilful I can be to make up for my lack of power."
