Rats, I have to write some more disclaimers. I do not own Yu-gi-oh, Yu-gi-oh GX, Princess Tutu, or any other anime, manga, or book characters.
Chapter 2- Mana's story
I am in love. I cannot help the fact that I have fallen head over heels with my master, Mahad. Some people might know him as the Dark Magician. I am the Dark Magician Girl. I have been in love with Mahad since the time we where living in ancient Egypt.
I am Mahad's apprentice. I am training to be a top magician in Egypt. I remember when Mahad was teaching me how to levitate objects. This task was surprisingly taxing. I was trying to lift up a scroll, but it was pointless. It didn't even go an inch off the table. Mahad came over to help me. He instructed me to hold my scepter a certain way and the scroll flew threw the air. I looked up at Mahad. He was smiling down at me. That was the first time he ever gave me a smile like that before. Since that day, I was in love with him.
He always smiles with Isis the priestess. I would love to set that woman on fire. Trust me, I know how to. Mahad barely flashes smiles at me. I am determined to be the one who will always make him happy inside and out. The only other time I remember him smile at me was when I saved him from one of Bakura's magical blasts. I will make him love me whatever it takes.
He gives me a cold look most of the time. I still think he is cool. I remember how many female cards used to hit on him. I was not jealous! I was just upset by the fact that the other girls only saw him for his cold outside character. I, on the other hand, love him inside and out (though it is hard to see the inside).
I am currently the card of my master Yugi Muto who is actually Pharaoh Atem. I finally admitted my love to him after a duel with Mai Kujaku. I was so glad when we blew those Harpy Sisters into oblivion. I gave him a surprise hug and expressed my feelings. My master seemed to be in shock. He didn't seem to return my love though. I didn't give up.
I tell Mahad I love him about 15 times a day. Not even a smile. I vow I will not give up hope until he finds the person he loves. Some people say it is improper for an apprentice to love her master. I say otherwise. I think there are no boundaries for love. I will someday break those restrictions. Some don't care about the apprentice and master stuff, but they just think that we are too different. So what if I like pink, cute, Twilight and Kuriboh and you can tell Mahad enjoys the opposite? We still both like to use magic. We also love to dance ballet. I know it sounds strange considering I told you about the cold personality, but he is a very good dancer. You should see him doing grand jetés*.
Mahad has taught me all I know. Even some dance. He does sometimes tend to overwork me though. If I get too tired, he lets me rest. This grants me a glimmer of hope. I wonder if I can reach out to him.
I remember this one lesson like it was only yesterday. Now that I think about it - wait, it was yesterday!
"You have to improve on your Dark Magic Attack."
He does not seem to talk very much. I wonder why that is.
I simply replied, "Awesome."
I can't believe I said something as stupid like that. He must've thought I was too cutesy or something close to that. What am I saying? Mahad would never consider me cute.
"Try to attack me."
That completely broke through my thoughts.
"I can't attack you master, I don't want to hurt you."
"Just do it Mana."
He said this in a warning tone. I don't like to get him angry, so I did what he said. I poured my heart into this attack. To my dismay, it dissolved into a bunch of sparkles and hearts.
"You have to focus your power on the attack. You have to have the will to attack your enemy."
"It's not my fault that I can't attack the one I love!"
Suddenly he aimed his scepter at me.
"Dark Magic Attack!"
Without warning, I was knocked to the ground with great force. How can he focus so much energy on this attack? I remembered what he said about having the will to attack your enemy. Does he not like me as much as he used to? I don't know, maybe he doesn't care about me as much as I thought. I swear I was about to cry. Just then I saw Mahad's hand reaching out for me. I looked up at his beautiful sky blue eyes.
"Thanks."
I glanced up to see his eyes. They were staring at mine with such great strength that I had trouble looking away. He finally did.
"I am suddenly not feeling well, Mana. Is it okay if I end class today?"
"I guess so, but do you want me to stay with you for a while?"
"It is okay. I just want to be left alone for a while."
I flew out the door. "See you later then." I tried to wonder what was wrong with him but, my mind sidetracked back to the stare the Mahad gave me when I looked at him. It felt almost as great when he gave me a smile.
*1- Grand Jeté. This Is the terme grand leap in French.
What do you think? This was Mana's point of view in the story. I am sorry about that whole confusing paragraph from the last chapter. I will write another chapter all centered on that girl so you can have more of an understanding of her. I still want to hear some more ideas from you guys. I will work on another chapter about Mahad and the mysterious feelings. Some new characters will be introduced to. See you next time! Sorry that when I first uploaded this chapter that all the editing I did disappeared. I will try to reupload this chapter again. Beta'd by Psychoticbunny.
