Cupid's Wrath

Chapter 6: Phantom Rocker?

It was early in the evening in Fenton Works. Jack and Maddie were out, Jazz was at the library, leaving only two in the entire house

The two are Danny and his adopted sister/clone Danielle "Dani" Fenton/Fenton who was pouting over the fact that she spent the last two hours undoing her "masterpiece". The statue she vandalized was finally clear of any graffiti and whatever the pre-teen girl slapped on for a quick laugh and was now back in it's box where it belonged.

"Quit pouting, you brought it on yourself...'Danny said to the annoyed little ghost girl who turned away from him.

"Your just upset you don't have the guts to do what I did and follow through..."Dani replied while her brother rolled his eyes at her response.

'Whatever you say..."Danny said as he flicked on the TV.

There was basically nothing that interested him, all that was baby cartoons, boring cliché reality shows, annoying gossip shows which he was sick to death of since they always included him someway… After a few more minutes, the elder Phantom gave up and left, leaving his younger sister on the couch.

"Where are you going?..."Dani asked to her brother.

"Out..."Was all he said before transforming into his ghost form and taking flight.

"He's really bummed out by the upcoming valentine's day..."Dani thought feeling some pity for her brother.

While she was still a child and didn't have much of a graph on romance yet, she knew her brother was upset by his breakup with Sam and was miserable to do all the fan girls trying to take advantage of him.

Dani didn't have much of a relationship with the Goth girl, though she respected her since she made her brother happy but the breakup made Dani wary of the Goth...Despite Danny's claims of them still being friends….Dani was upset that the Goth girl was the reason her brother was so unhappy these last few days.

She hurt him and that was unforgivable in her eyes.

"He's not going to cheer up until he finds a new girl...someone who's actually worth the effort..."Danielle thought as she thought about her brother.

Maybe she could help find a new girl for him….Dani wasn't big on romance but she liked to think she was good at judging people...She was capable of telling when a person was being genuine and when they were only using you to get what they wanted.

She had some bad experiences with people like that but she wanted to think she learned.

She supposed it was up to her to find someone who wasn't a spoiled, shallow phan girl who was as deep as a street puddle. Her brother deserved a girl that actually liked all of him and not just his ghost half and the fame that came along with it.

"I guess it's time for operation: Matchmaker...but first..."Dani smirked as her eyes were on the TV.

She was all alone with the TV, her parents wouldn't be back for at least another hour, along with Jazz and she knew her brother wouldn't come back till he vented….which left the little half ghost girl alone with no one but the large TV and unlimited channels.

"Hello Pay-Per-View!..."Dani grinned as she suddenly found an R-Rated movie with car crashes and gun fights.

Meanwhile away from the Fenton Household, Danny was enjoying the breeze of the evening sky..

"This is the life...or half-life I guess...uh..."Danny thought as he did some flips in the air, enjoying the sense of freedom. He could always count on a peaceful flight to lift his spirits, if only a tad.

He's been needing them a lot lately.

Suddenly a familiar blue mist left his mouth and he groaned and stopped in mid- flight. It was time for another ghost fight.

"Uh...First the Box Ghost and his stupid "Music Box of Mayhem", then Ember acts all weird and Skulker was being all grumpy about his alleged girlfriend….I wonder whose next..."The young Phantom thought as he searched for the source of the one who triggered his ghost sense.

Unknown to him, the ghost was Ember Mclain who was looking up at him from down on earth, admiring him. She managed to successfully sneak past the ghost portal and immediately tried to find him, only to find that he left and she had to be careful not to set his sister's ghost sense off.

Once out, Ember suddenly regained control of her senses and was shocked she was back in the human world looking for the one she was suppose to call her enemy...only to revert as soon as she saw him.

"There he is..."Ember thought happily as she soon found herself floating to him, surprising the young half ghost with her presence.

"EMBER?! Back again?! ..."Danny growled and blinked as he suddenly saw a distressed look cross the diva's face.

Suddenly she descended down to earth, back to the ally way where she originated from.

"HEY! Come back here!..."Danny ordered and followed her down...Once there, he stared at her….and she was trying to avoid eye contract with him.

"What's up with her?..'Danny thought as he approached his enemy who was still avoiding eye contact with him.

"His eyes….There so green...and they look so...intense..."Ember thought as she felt a sudden tingly feeling.

'Alright Ember, care to explain what happened this morning...'Danny demanded and blinked as he saw a smile form on the ghostly pop princess's face.

It wasn't the same wild, sadistic smile she would get during there fights...it's the same strange one she had this morning when she tried to do...whatever it is she tried to do to him. Why on earth would she be smiling right now at a time like this?

"Why does he have to be so handsome?..."Ember thought as she eyed him appreciatively, making the young half ghost in question even more bewildered by her attitude.

"Hello! Seriously Ember, why are you here?..."Danny demanded to the ghostly songstress whose eyes were on his face.

"I wanted to see you..."Ember said suddenly, surprising the ghost teen hero in the process.

"Wha-..."Danny was cut off and Ember suddenly pointed to his neck.

"You have a bruise..."Was all she said and Danny instinctively put a hand on it.

"It's nothing...Just got in a fight with Skulker but I've been through worse an-..."Danny stopped once he realized what he was doing...and with who!.

"Wait! Since when do you care?!...'Danny asked in a suspicious tone. Something was definitely up….If he didn't know any better, he would have thought she was worried about him.

That was a laugh...EMBER MCLAIN would never express concern for him...if anything, she would probably just be upset she wasn't the one who gave him the bruise.

"It's a shame such a cute face got bruised…."Came out of the ghost singers mouth and Danny's mind suddenly came to a halt.

"What...did she just say?..."Danny thought in disbelief...There was no way he heard those words from her.

""What….What game are you playing at?..."Danny demanded and suddenly noticed the strange look in her eyes and that she was suddenly a lot closer.

"I'm not playing anything dipstick..."Ember said in a pleasant voice and it freaked him out even more...especially since she was getting much closer to him.

Danny soon found himself backing away from the azure-haired ghoul who kept walking towards him, wearing a pleasant smile and a strange….eager gleam in her eyes.

It was making him very uneasy at the moment, to say the least.

"H-Hey! GET BACK!..."Danny demanded but Ember wasn't listening.

"He's so shy...It's adorable..."Ember squealed internally and enjoyed the fluttering sensation she felt where her heart used to be. She was actually starting to enjoy it now to be honest.

Suddenly Danny's back hit the wall and suddenly found himself face to face with his enemy who was still giving him that strange smile...and suddenly her hand was on his chest.

"Wow..."Ember thought as she felt his muscles, enjoying it very much.

"H-Hey...Cut that OUT!..."Danny demanded but Ember clearly wasn't listening as she was caressing his chest and arms. Danny was very much panicking right now...until he remembered something.

"DUH! Ghost powers..."Danny thought and was about to use his power to escape, however, Ember seemed to anticipated and suddenly pushed him into the wall, which was effective since she was much stronger that she looked.

"HEY!..."Danny yelped. Suddenly he felt a pair of soft, cool lips on the spot where his bruise was...and all thoughts left his mind.

Ember….was….kissing….his….neck….and she wasn't stopping.

"What the hell is she doing?!..."Danny managed to think once he was out of his petrified state of mind.

"This...This can't be happening...I must be dreaming or I'm going crazy...There is just no way this could actually be happening...'Danny thought as Ember attacked his neck with her lips.

Once aware that this was really happening and was not some crazy hallucination ,Danny tried struggling out of her grasp but Ember had no intention of letting him go...she wasn't done. She started with a soft little kiss on the spot where he had the bruise...but now she was pecking him repetitively all over his jawline and she was moving up to his face.

"Stop it!...'Danny yelled as he was trying to get out of Ember's sudden kiss attack.

He was finally silence when a pair of purple, cold but surprisingly soft lips were on his own...freezing him on the spot.

"Warm..."Was the only thing that came to Ember's mind as she kept lip locking the white haired boy who was as stiff as a board and his eyes were as wide as physically possible...not that she noticed.

She was too busy enjoying the surge of energy she was feeling from kissing him and how the strange but admittedly pleasant thoughts and feelings were in hyper drive. She was completely taken back by how soft and warm his lips were...and how sweet they tasted….

"Mmmmm…..Ember let out a soft moan of delight before finally releasing the half ghost boy who was still frozen on the spot and his lips, chin and neck were covered with nothing but her purple lip gloss.

He was so adorable and Ember suddenly found herself lunging at him again...just when he finally got out of his shock and he soon found himself in another embrace with the pale ghostly girl who was kissing him all over his face.

"G-Get off me!..."Danny yelled in between her kisses but Ember didn't seem to notice or care.

Soon she gave him an even bigger kiss on the lips before suddenly releasing him, leaving him panting and looking at her in complete shock.

"W...What the...What the heck...'Danny managed to mutter out while Ember was still giggling and sending him the eyes Sam used to give him after one of their romantic moments together.

It was like she actually enjoyed what she just did!

"You're a good kisser Danny~..."Ember said with a wink and that did it.

"T-This...This can't be happening!..."Danny shouted and soon found himself flying as fast as he could away from the amorous pop idol...who was still in the alley way swooning and letting out a sigh of contentment.

"Danny..."Ember thought with a blush as she recalled all the warmth she felt holding and kissing him...how soft his lips were and just how adorable he was in general.

"If this is love..."Ember thought...before she realized what happened.

"I...I can't believe...uh..."Ember shouted and soon found herself teleporting back to her realm.

Unknown to the distressed diva and the shell shocked teen hero, they were not alone in that alley way.

"What...the….Fuck?!..."Kitty said after seeing what went down.

She followed Ember into the human world and was careful to keep a distance to make sure neither she or anyone knew she was following her. Kitty eyes were as wide as possible after witnessing Ember Mclain: one of the most vindictive and hard cord ghosts in the entire zone initiate a passionate make out session with her sworn nemesis Danny Phantom!

Kitty honestly didn't hate Danny, she actually thought he was a nice guy since she used him to make Johnny jealous..though she didn't appreciate how he tried to get in the way of their fun all the time. She just couldn't believe that her friend was suddenly crushing on the same half ghost that she swore she hated with every fiber of her being.

"Oh man...What have you gotten yourself into girl…."Kitty muttered as she made her way back to the ghost zone….she needed to talk to her friend as soon as possible.

Unknown to the green haired biker babe...she wasn't the only witness to the kiss between the two most unlikely people.

"WHAT A SCOOP! Danny Phantom has a new lady in his life in time for Valentines day..."A male reporter said as he quickly left the alley with his eyes still on the picture he managed to get.

A perfect snap shot of the hero of the world in a lip lock with Ember Mclain.

Ember's Realm, Ghost Zone

Ember was finally in her realm and tried to fight the aching head ache she always got from teleporting….After a few moments, Ember wandered to where her couch was and sat down...while her mind replayed the events from the last few minutes.

"I can't believe….Why did I-...How could I…..UGH…."Ember screamed as she pounded her fist into her couch, feeling extreme dismay and frustration from her actions.

She couldn't believe she kissed the same dipstick she swore she hated with all her being. What's worse was that she didn't just kiss him...she flat out tried to make out with him.

It was completely impossible….She basically jumped the half ghost the second she crossed paths with him and it was freaking her out.

"Why...Why did I kiss that Phantom?..."Ember asked to herself.

As much as she wanted to feel shame and disgust right now...she couldn't...All she felt when she thought about her actions was that warm, pleasant feeling from before. She noticed that all the anger and shock she was suppose to be feeling was slipping away...being replaced by more pleasant feelings in regards to the white haired do-gooder who always confronted her.

"What's going on here?...'Ember muttered out loud.

"That's what I'd like to know..."Ember froze when she heard that voice. She turned around and saw that it was Kitty at her door.

"KITTY!...What are you doing here?...I-I mean...Hey..."Ember said weakly while the green ghoul gave her a look.

"I saw it Ember..."Kitty said flatly and Ember suddenly wanted the ground to suck her up.

She knew! She knew about the predicament she was in right now regarding that stupid Phantom dork...who was a cute dork...ugh.

"Don't try and deny anything….I followed you and saw your little...well...you know..."Kitty explained and noticed her friends distressed expression on her face as she fell back on her couch and looked like she wanted to disappear.

"Ember...I promise I won't tell anyone what happened...but please, tell me what's happening between you and Danny..."Kitty begged to her azure haired friend who looked at her.

For as long as she known Kitty, she never broke any promise, while she hung out with both her and Spectra, she considered the dark, sadistic ghost an acquaintance more than anything...it was different with Kitty.

They would often hang out, shop, gossip and be a listening ear when the other was complaining about love lives….

She liked Kitty...but could she trust her with what was probably the biggest crises of her after life?

Ember let out a defeated sigh and soon explained the events of the last few days, about her break up with Skulker and her sudden feelings for Phantom...and how the entire situation was tearing her apart.

"I can't believe it..."Kitty muttered as she put a hand on her friends shoulder.

"Your telling me...Of all the guys...why did it have to be him?..."Ember groaned.

"Come on girl...Danny's not that bad...I spent a lot of time with him when I was making Johnny jealous and I can say he's pretty decent boyfriend material..."Kitty said trying to cheer her friend up who only gave her an angry look.

"I don't want to make him my boyfriend! I want to stop this...this...whatever this is!...'Ember said in exasperation to a cringing Kitty, who hissed at the sharp volume of her voice.

"Alright, calm down.."Kitty said in a gentle voice.

"I can't!...I just...Oh, Kitty...You saw what I did ..."Ember said as she covered her face with her hands.

Kitty sighed and pitied her friend...she knew first hand that love was a very complicated thing but what Ember was going through was taking the cake.

She was falling in love with the enemy.

Kitty sighed and did her best to console her distressed gal pal.

"Why am I like this and why now?..."Ember asked.

"I..I don't know Ember….but what I do know is that love is a crazy thing...and we have no control over who we fall for..."Kitty explained.

"But you don't understand Kitty, just a few days ago I was fine and hating that idiot but ever since yesterday I've been swooning and thinking about him! How can I go from hating my enemy to wanting to kiss him?!...'Ember yelled at her friend.

"Ember...Sometimes love can hit you when you least expect it...and it's sometimes with the last person you would expect…."Kitty said looking down.

"Have I ever told you about how Johnny and I met?...'Kitty asked and Ember shook her head.

"It was when we were still alive, I was a junior in high school and Johnny was a senior...back then I couldn't stand him..."Kitty said startling Ember.

"What? But you guys are always sucking face whenever you can!...'Ember said in disbelief.

"Let me finish, when I first met Johnny I didn't like him, he had a reputation as a delinquent that got into fights and a ladies man and I wanted no part of that, I...I came from a pretty strict family, my daddy was in the military and ordered me to stay away from people like that and I tried but Johnny..."Kitty suddenly smiled like she was remembered something precious.

"Apparently Johnny fell in love with me at first sight and did everything he could to win me over but I didn't make it easy for him….to me he was just some play boy who only wanted to score with another pretty girl….but it turns out I was different for him. He spent months trying to impress me, he even made an effort to attend class when he found out I didn't like guys who cut class..."Kitty explained to the intrigued Ember.

"He even sent me stuff like love notes and roses to my locker...and as much as I hated to admit it...I was starting to enjoy the attention he was giving me and I was touched he was going through such an effort..."Kitty said.

"So you gave him a chance..."Ember said but was shocked to see Kitty shake her head.

"No, it would be months before that...My parents found out about Johnny and told me to stay away from him, he said he was a trouble maker and would never amount to anything…My parents said they would disown me if I spent any time with that "hoodlum" .."Kitty replied angrily and Ember felt some sympathy for her.

She knew first hand what living with controlling parents was like...they were memories she tried to suppress as much as possible.

"However, by the start of my fall semester, things chanced for me..."Kitty said.

"I was walking home when a group of guys with leather jackets approached me...apparently they were delinquents from another school that Johnny fought and they somehow discovered that he liked me...They grabbed me and were going to use me as bait to lure Johnny into a fight…."Kitty explained.

"So let me guess...Johnny kicked their asses and saved you and you decided you liked him..."Ember asked with an eye roll...but stopped when she saw Kitty shake her head..

"No...It was three against one...but Johnny was stronger than those idiots but he didn't throw a single punch...He said that if they wanted to fight him they could but they had to leave me out of it...he stood in front of them...and basically surrendered to them…."Kitty said bitterly.

"For half an hour I had to watch them beat him up...My hands were tied and I couldn't do anything to stop it...until they got tired and left, apparently they said it wasn't fun if they didn't fight back…."Kitty said as a bitter tear slid from her eye.

"After a while, I managed to looses my binding and I ran up to Johnny who was a bloody mess on the ground, he had two black eyes, one of his teeth ended up chipped and he had some broken bones...I demanded to know why he didn't fight back and...he only said "I'm sorry" before he passed out..."Kitty said in between her tears.

Ember stood agape, while she didn't hate Johnny 13, he could be an idiot but she couldn't believe he would just let himself get beat up...then again, he was doing it to save Kitty from his own screw up.

"I took him to the hospital and I visited him every day behind my parent's back...I then found out the story...He said that he got in a fight with the a guy called Ricky the ripper and won...apparently Ricky was a sore loser and enlisted some of his pals to help him get payback….I was just bait to lure Johnny into a fight...Johnny was going to fight them...until he realized that they now knew about how he felt about me and would likely try and use me again until they won...so he let them win..."Kitty explained.

"I can't believe Johnny did that..."Ember said.

"I know...by the time Johnny was finally released from the hospital, I accepted my feelings for him...I knew that I was in love with him at that point..."Kitty said smiling.

"I dated Johnny but kept it a secret from my parents...They wouldn't understand….and I was so happy, it was the greatest year of my life...I finally found my soul mate and I was looking forward to graduating and moving out so I could no longer worry about my parents….except..."Kitty trailed off.

"What happened?..."Ember asked.

"My dad found out that I was dating Johnny...apparently he got suspicious of my behavior and the fact that I was coming home late...I used the excuse that I was at the library studying...Apparently he followed me one time and discovered me with Johnny….and he completely lost it...He said that he was going to send me to an all-girl school in Europe to keep us apart and I couldn't stand it..."Kitty said angrily.

"I told Johnny everyone and he begged me not to leave him so...I ran away..."Kitty said.

"On the night before I was going to be placed on the plane that was going to separate us...I snuck out and met up with Johnny...We were going to escape on his bike and start a new life together… except...that was the night we ended up...we ended up...Kitty was watering again and Ember quickly realized what she was trying to say.

That was the night they died together.

"I'm sorry Kitty..."Ember said. No ghost liked talking about how their lives were cut short...and to find out what Kitty went through was just awful.

"There's nothing that could be done about it...at least me and Johnny are still together..."Kitty said as she calmed down and looked back to her friend.

"Love's complicated Ember….When I first met Johnny, I was certain I would never be with a guy like him and now look at us..."Kitty said and Ember's eyes widened as she finally saw her point.

"But...But Kitty...Johnny never fought you! He never insulted or humiliated or ruined your plans countless times..."Ember insisted.

"It's still the same...I didn't like him at first but I grew to love him over time...even if I wasn't aware of it..."Kitty said to her flaming haired friend who still looked distressed.

Ember shook her head and tried to ignore the thoughts she was getting about Phantom and her best friend's tragic love story. Despite the fights, Kitty and Johnny were crazy about each other and were practically joined at the hip...to find out that Kitty once hated him was mind bogglingly to say the least.

With that in mind…..Was there a chance she might someday end up in a similar situation with Danny?

Was she truly destined to fall in love with the guy she thought she would hate for all time?
