… First time fighting with the demon… but he shook away the thought, preferring nostalgia over dread. He then remembered that Mitsuki required medication, and checked his hoody pocket for the panacea's bag. He was relieved at his discovery, finding it undamaged, and marveled at the miraculous outcome.* "Hey," *He called out to Mitsuki, holding up the bag.* "Don't forget some water for yourself!"

I nod to Zane, then look a little startled at Arc. You... you BROUGHT that!?'' My cheeks are red, and i sn@tch the bag from you, feeling some of my emotions start to break loose. 'Not yet.' i think furiously, quickly fleeing the room. On my way to get help i pause to pick up the sprite, then -feeling suddenly overcome - give it to a passing nurse with the request to go check on you both. She… …

*I teleport to her*Hey,what's up with the bag?

nods, then starts down the hall in that direction. I hurry into the bathroom, and let my emotions burst out. I sink to my hands and knees, the burden of guilt holding me down, covering my head and let the tears rain onto the floor. ''it's ALL my fault!'' i sob ''all those lives... if i hadn't been there...'' i scream [mentally] 'someone... ANYONE! Make it stop... make me stop hurting everyone… …

…around me... MAKE ME STOP EXISTING!!' That can be arranged, misssss.' The voice worms its way into my mind and i gasp. Then every muscle in my body convulses, and then tenses, my body contorting, skin stretching to its limit. I can think of nothing but the PAIN, as every cell in my body contracts. I don't even realize i'm screaming at the top of my lungs, a horrible, single sound of endless agony

What the-*senses demon and goes soul reaper*Get out of her.NOW.

(…She's been gone for a while…) *His back is arched forwards, hands folded in concern. His brow begins to furrow, and his suspicions only greaten as the nurse comes to deliver Zane's Sprite.* "...Hey, Zane, I'm just gonna go quickly check on--" *Suddenly, a shrill scream pierces the air from down the hall. Having heard it enough times by now, he instantly recognizes it as Mitsuki's and his …

(I was already gone)Zane:WHO ARE YOU,DEMON?!?!?!

… Protective instincts kick in. He rockets down the hallway without regards to anything else, not even taking the time to consider other possibilities. When his following ofmthe scream leads him to the Lady's bathroom, though, he has a quick but heated debate between his protective instincts and his polite discipline which causes a split-second hesitation. Deeming her safety more important, he …

… Kicks in the door, using Pursuit to increase his entrance speed.* "MITSUKI!!" *He cries out.*

*You see a girl version of me*

I have no idea how I look and sound like a girl version of me,I'm not doing it.And whatever did it,it's NOT an illusion.

I've completely disappeared. Only the small, white medicine bag that i'd taken earlier is left. The room is empty and silent, though a trace of a presence lingers, but it's faint.

"Mitsuki… I know she was hear! I can feel it… s-somehow!!" *He looks around, and he can feel the presence of another. With this in mind, he quickly blames the presence for her disappearance, and anger builds up inside of him.* "…I know you're here…" *Out of desperation, he uses Metal Sound to try and drag out whoever is hiding her.* "…AND I KNOW YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE!!" *He uses it again, with a …

...With a much more intense wavelength.* "BRING BACK MITSUKI, D*MMIT!!"

No reaction, no sound. Everything is silent. Then you feel the presence increase slowly. Pulsing. It comes from the direction of... the mirror? Approaching the mirror you find something stuck in it. Part is completely encased in the mirror, but the part sticking out of the mirror is more than enough. It's a hairpin with a skull on it, and it's the only physical proof of my existance left.

[Sorry… I'm just too depressed to be doing this effectively… Would you mind if I were to check out for the day an maybe tomorrow too? I really enjoy this, but… I need my brood time, and the concept of a loved one disappearing before I can help them is just triggering so many personal feels right now, no fault of your own, of course. I'm not calling it quits, I'd just… like to take a break…? ^_^]

[[Cr@p, I'M SO SORRY! If i had known then... l would have come up with a different way to... *worried pause* l'm REALLY sorry... i hope you're not offended by my ignorance... And YES, go ahead and take as long as you need... i'm really really really sorry...¦΄ς ]] ~Ω~

[Geez, I can handle subject matter, it's fine! *^* Calm down, I said it wasn't your fault, it was just awkward timing! Please don't feel bad, that wasn't my intention! í_ì]

...Yes i know you can handle yourself, but i'm going to apologize anyway! So just accept it! (*\ /) =( ›x‹)= -{Sorry!) Ο(Uυ) But, i'm glad... that you told me. NEVER hesitate from telling me how you feel, alright? When i'm around others i NEED to understand them, and if they don't tell me -even if it's to spare my feelings- i feel like they don't trust me. So don't think i'm angry, i'm not…

[Never thought you were angry, don't worry. And I accept your apology in full! *stern stance, cheeks puffed, hands on hips* "But don't ever do it again!" *^* ('s'at better?^_^) But yeah, I managed to stay awake to make sure you're alright and now my head is pounding… I think I'm turning into Arc, help me. @¬@ Thank you again for understanding! I promise to tell you if something ever bothers me!]

(*\ / ) =(^x^)= -{Thanks! Goodnight!) o(uu) Just message me when you're reeady to resume~!

[A'ight... ...Imma collapse now... g'night... @^@]

*Tries to use illusions to make him male again but they don't work.*Goddāmňĺť,WHY AM I A GIRL?!

I have absolutly no idea why I'm a girl....

For some reason,I don't think it's an illusion.It couldn't be.Then I would've been able to turn the illusion off.I think...It's an actual transformation and I'm really a girl now...

(Pretend I kind of look like the girl from "A Cheeky Angel")

Calm down,Kenneth.It's only a matter of time before someone sees you holding a girl by the collar.

As long as I still have my illusions,which I do,I'm everything,but at the same time,nothing.*Tries to transform but nothing happens*Okay,now I'm not really okay with it...(Look up"A Cheeky Angel Episode 1 Full Episode")

No,but it happened when Myobu dissapeared.(Do you know what "A Cheeky Angel" is?)But now I know why girls are scared of some guys....

And technically,I'm a real girl until we find out how to turn me back and be able to transform.

*Fanboys? Show up at the window and peek in.*Zane:GYAAA!W-who are those people?!

(Otaku?Where are you?)

*Fanboys go away*What was that about?

Well,is that good?

What if it's permanate?*Shivers at the thought.*

(Otaku?Where are you?)I feel like we're being watched....

Kenneth technically wasn't being gay because,until I find a way to transform back,I'm female.What was up with the freakin' nightmare fuel look?*Shivering because the thought was that scary.*

*Tries to use teleport on Kenneth and it works but I didn't transform.*Huh,I can transform in spirit and use moves but the way I look doesn't change....

*Apocalyptic Arceus Attacks All And Awakens Armageddon*

["Apocalyptic Arceus..." HOLY S--- err, wrath, WHAT DID I MISS?! é▲è]

(The arceus part was a joke.XP.You didn't miss much.Just me turning into a girl and it possibly being irriverseable...Nothing special...)

[...So how'd the plastic surgery go? e_e]

(Not plastic sugery-wait,what?It happened because of a demon that transformed me into a girl.The demon that's in Myon's character.)

*Amazed by what he has seen, he slowly approaches the mirror with mild suspicion. Recognizing the skull hairpin as Mitsuki, he reaches forwards to grab it, and pulls on it.* [It's your vision -- whatever happens next is up to you, Yo-chan! ^_^]

[Her name's Myobu... -_-'" but thanks for integrating one of her story elements into yours, it adds cohesiveness and I appreciate that.]

(Wait,why did you mention plastic surgery?)

The hairpin sparkles in the bathroom's light. A faint presence radiates from it. Then a small desperate whisper, brushing past your consciousness. 'please... help me...'

[Oh, that? It was just an off-handed joke, nothing meaningful.]

(Aaaaaand,I just,in real life,cracked my neck so far it is stuck at a 90 degree angle from straightness.Ow.)

(And there are 2 of me,one is a copy.)Zane 2:Matt,why are you in the girls room?*I sound like a girl.*

[A'ight, Matt! Be strong, you can do this! *puffs chest* YOUR WILL IS THE WILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE SADNESS!! ò^ó΅] *Instantaneousy, he recognizes the voice as Mitsuki's and calls out to her, surveying his surtoundings, still holding onto the embedded ring.* "MITSUKI!! Mitsuki, where are you?! I'm here now, it's okay, just tell me where you are!!"

*Arc sees a female versionof me and nose bleeds*

*He doesn't hear Zane; he's too immersed in hanging onto Mitsuki's presence.*

*I don't realize I'm a girl yet.*

[ARC IS NOT A LECH. òзó]

(Ok.)*Zane 2 runs in front of arc*Hey Arc.

'Arc... Don't come here... it's a trap... He's waiting for you...' My voice is scared, but there's something deeper... such an intense worry for your well-being [you might mistake it for... love???]

*He stares down at Zane, then stares back up, looking around fot Mitsuki.* "Zane! Not now, I need to focus on Mitsuki's presence!" *He looks odd, staring intently into nothing in an action-ready stance and waiting for an invisible voice, but you pay him no mind.*

*His voice is tense with worry, and his concern is above obvious.* "...I don't care if it's a trap, Mistuki! ...I have to find you. I promised you, I won't let you leave me! I won't let you go and die!" [Sorry, Austin. But this... this is catharsis. I need to deal with this by myself or I'll never overcome my issues in real life. …You understand?]

Huh.*Walks farther into the hall and cage falls on "Her".*GAAAH!

(Sorry,posted before I saw that...)

[It's fine, you can do your own thing. ...Thank you for understanding. You were right when you said you were mature!]

(Thanks!I'm actually 11 so that's a very astounding compliment!)*Struggling in cage*What the heck is going on?*Zane 2 still doesn't realize she's a girl*

*My voice quivers* 'Arc...' *I make my decision.* 'Promise me you won't die! PROMISE ME Arc!'' *You can hear the tears in my voice, its strain conveying my fear*

*His voice quivers, becoming more quiet and solemn.* "...I promise you..." *He clenches his fist, staring down at it with moist eyes* "...I won't die... until I can guarantee your eternal happiness." [Hey, no problem! ^_^ I live to make awesome people happy!]

*Notices she's a girl(Originaly boy but the demon did it to the copy and the real one)*WHY AM I A GIRL?!

'I swallow, knowing everything hinges on my next words. 'Arc l'm in the mi-' my voice cuts off, replaced by evil laughter. 'Why, if it isssn't Massster Hero,' it taunts 'Finally the moment we've ALL been waitung for!' its tone is extremely sarcastic. 'Ooh, but what if you can't FIND your poor maiden, that would be SSSO disappointing.' it cackles gleefully.

*Hears voice and a high piched screech*GAAAAAAAH!Who..Is..That?...

*He halts, thinking, paying more attention to her words than the demon's.* ('Mi-'? She's in the 'mi-'? The 'mi-' what, the 'middle' of something…) *He looks around for something in the room that starts with 'mi-'. He remembers her skull pin in the mirror, then it hits him.* (THE MIRROR!) *He rushes towards the mirror, hoping to see her.* "Mitsuki? You in here?! I'll break you out, just hold on!"

*Still in cage*T_T'

Hope that demon doesn't notice me...

(When's Otaku gonna get here?)

The demons voice becomes annoyed 'How DARE you ignore me!' it snarls angrily. 'Though... you're smarter than you look.' you hear it smirk. 'But REALLY Masster hero, do you want to shadder her now? Maybe i should call you master DESTROYER' it laughs 'oops, slipped out...hehe'

*Uses Aura absorb,wich will severly damage me or make the Demon possess me*

*He faces away from the mirror, enraged, but keeping his cool for the sake of not destroying everything before. He turns back around.* "…You." *He looks up at a dark reflection in the mirror.* "You promised you'd stay away from her." *He readies his blades, then stops himself, deeming it too risky to use them around the mirror.*

*Demon possesses me and is now in the phsycal world*(Myobu will talk now)

[Thank you Austin. Under any other circumstance, that would be perfect integration, but like I said I need to deal with this scenerio myself for the sake of accepting… myself. I understand you're bored and merely trying to aid, and that was perfect. I know that I already ask you not to do a lot of things, and I'm sorry, it's selfish of me; but this is an issue and I need to deal with this myself.]

(K.*Walks away*Seeya when Otaku gets here!*Walks out of RP room.*)

The demon laughs 'i sssaid three weeksss' it grins 'and it has been nearly FOUR.' It laughs, giggling at your surprised expression. 'Ooh, didn't anyone bother to tell you?' its eyes narrow and its voice bcomes a confiding whisper 'time passes slowly in that MAGNIFICENT manor, i bet you thought you spent a few HOURS, didn't you? But in reality THREE WEEKS had past!' it crows in triumph

*He seeths, clenching his fists* (...D*mmit…) "…So it ends here, where it began? …In a hospital?" *He realises something yet again.* "…But we haven't, you know…" *He remembers that he isn't to tell me Mitsuki about the prophec and keeps his point ambiguous.* "…Besides, I don't even know if she loves me back yet."

The demon snickers. 'THAT part wasssn't a promise. It wasss a WARNING. The you-know-what proclaimed that if you failed to aquire ssuch an IMPORTANT thing you'd misss the deadline. And you, Masster Hero have FAILED.'

"…" *He hangs his head in shame, his bangs casting a shadow over his eyes. He slowly walks over to the wall nearest the mirror, puts his hands in his pockets, then pulls out some pocky and puts it in his mouth.* "…Then I guess this means our contract's void?"

'Well, duh.' it rolls its eyes. Then its eyes turn into half moons as it smiles. ''AND'' its voice becomes sing-song ''it also means i WIN!' it giggles gleefully and the implications hit you. And you remember what you'd gambled with...

'That'ss right.' it sneers as your face becomes pale. 'Don't tell me you forgot about promising -not just one- but TWO souls if I won.' Its pointed teeth appear all that's left is to watch you writhe in agony as i devour HER's FIRST.' Then it turns [probably] towards me. 'Hear that misss, you're ALL mine. Make sure you tell him thank you for letting me eat you.' it winks 'After all, he's MY HERO.'

"Mitsuki." *He walks swiftly towards the mirror, now longer under any restrictions.* "If you want to live, admit to your feelings and kiss me through the mirror. Don't ask, don't question. Just do it." *He places his lips softly against the mirror.*

The demons eyes narrow. 'What th-' Suddenly you find yourself falling, everything exists, but there is MORE than what existed before. You can sense it, and when you open your eyes, you find me embracing you. 'Arc... you dummy...' i sob, clenching my arms tighter around you. 'Now you're stuck in here too...' Behind me a shape stands in shadow, unmoving, watching us.

(Please tell me when to jump back in.)

"Hey…" *He embraces her back, holding her closely.* "I promised that I wouldn't quit until you could be happy forever, remember?" *He held her for another second or two, then looks furiously up towards the dark figure.* "As for YOU…" *Desite his anger, he remains calm, and gently moves Mitsuki aside, deliberately placing her behind him.* "I have no idea why in hell you are so d*mn determined to …

… Ruin the lives of all of TWO people…" *He strides over to it, mindful to not stray too far from Mitsuki to leave her defenseless.* "…But all I know, is that you chose the *wrong* pair to mess with." *he extends his blades violently, and once more he dons his iron mask, cracked from his last affair.* "I'm not scared. I'm not out of control. I'm not even slightly p*ssed off. I'm just…" *he …

*Get's out of cage,gets Doritos and a Sprite,grabs a chair and watches the action in the mirror*

… Assumes his combat stance, Night Slash charging ominously with its dark light in both blades.* "… Protecting what I love."

*Eating doritos*This is a really good fight.

'Did you... is it true?' My voice startles you, since it comes the darkened form 'You sold my soul... to such a monster?' The figure steps forwards, and it IS me… or at least, looks and sounds to be. 'Don't listen to it!' the 1st me shrieks from behind you, it's trying to confuse you!' The 2nd me in front of you bursts into tears 'Arc… How could you!? …and i was even starting to TRUST you...!'
