Sensui,Kung Lao and Lui Kang appear in the room where Sabre is thought to be,they look around but see nothing.The door opens slowly as Sub-Zero is standing there.He quickly freezes Kung Lao and Lui Kang leaving him and Sensui.
Sensui "You dont stand a chance,do you know who I am,tell me,where is he?"
Sub-Zero "Where is who?"
Sensui "Stop playing,you know who I mean."
Just then,Sabre jumps down from the ceiling taking down Sensui.He begins to punch Sensui repeatedly in the face and abdomen while screaming at him.
Sabre "Lets see you reverse this you stupid son of a bitch."
Sabre continues punching away at Sensui,breaking his nose and causing him to bleed in numerous places.Sabre pounds on Sensui for minutes,not showing any sign of letting up.He slams his head to the ground over and over,causing the back of his head to crack open.Sensui is still bleeding rapidly.The dragon king stomps into the room.
Dragon King "Enough!"
Sabre continues to pound on Sensui not even hearing the king.
Dragon King "Get him off,hurry up!"
The dragon kings guards charge in and grab Sabre from behind,restraining him.Sensui is left lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
Dragon King "Pick him up.And take him away."
The dragon kings guards pick up Sensui and drag him away.The dragon king walks up to Sabre and gets right in his face.
Dragon King screams in anger "Who started this?"
Sub-Zero "It was Sensui,I saw it all..."
Dragon King stares back at Sabre "And you had to finish it...I SAID NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE!!"
Sabre "Screw the rules."
Dragon King "WHAT?"
Sabre "Screw you...let me go."
Dragon King "I will let you go now,but no more outside interference."
The dragon king and his guards walk out of the room.They shut the door behind them.
Sabre "Fuck that shit."
Sabre leaves the room,full of Sensui's blood.And see's Sensui still being dragged away.
Sabre "Bitch..."

Sensui storms back in the room, broken nose and all. Sensui places his thumb against his nose and shifts it back into place with a sickening crunch.
He spits out some of the blood which has built up in his mouth from Sabre's assualt.
Dragon King" Are you alright?"
Sensui gives him a side glance"Piss off."
Dragon King"I will not tolerate this kind of insubordination! Gaurds, cieze him."
As soon as the gaurds grab Sensui, they are sliced to pieces with lighting speed, as Sensui holds both the Ice Fang and Malice Blade in his hands.
Sub-Zero"That's impossible, Sabre is the only one who has that sword."
Sensui turns his head to the ice ninja."You're sadly mistaken."
Sensui's eyes glow green, and his jigon eye opens. It then closes.
Sensui"Tell me Sub-Zero, the ice burn your flesh when you shoot your famous Ice blast.?"
Sub-Zero"What do you care? You megalomaniac!"
Sensui"Simple, unlike most of you, I thrive on pain." Sensui's fist glows blue as ice particles form in his palm.
Sub-Zero"That's not possible! You can't!"
Sensui slightly snickers"I can!!"
He shoots out an ice blast at Sub-Zero, who barely dodges it as it freezes one of the gaurds.
Sensui"I'd look at your arms if I were you."
Sub-Zero stares and sees a thin layer of ice on his fore arms."Damn it! How?"
Sensui"My ice blast has a much more powerful kick to it, along with a larger blast radius. Here's one technique your brother enjoyed."
Sensui gets into a horse stance and puts the insde of his palms facing each other, at a close distance. Ice particles begin to grow larger and larger and suddenly explode into an orb around Sensui. As the orb gets larger, it instantly freezes anything it touches.
Sub-Zero"Oh no." He and the Dragon King quickly depart from the chamber. In a blinding flash, the room is instantly turned into ice from top to bottom.
Sensui stands upright again. He walks over to his two frozen servants. He touches both on the shoulder, generating heat. Suddenly their ice prisons shatter.
Lui Kang"Master, you are hurt."
SensuiLooks down at his broken body, cuts and bruises everywhere and broken ribs are clearly visible.Sensui takes a deep breath and realinges his ribs. he engulfs his own body in flames and his wounds disappear."Problem solved."

**In the arena, a gong sounds. Vortex walks down the gold stairs at one end of the arena, while Celestial hovers over those at the other end, not touching the floor. Both warriors meet at the center, and bow. The DK, from his throne above the rabble who have gathered to watch the battle, stands.**

Dragon King: The next bout...Celestial versus Vortex!

**The crowd cheers as Celestial eases into his Long Fist stance, and Celestial sets himself into Ninjitsu.**

Dragon King: Round One...FIGHT!!

**The two warriors begin to move in a steady circle**

Celestial: I must finish this quickly...and for that, I apologize...

Vortex: Oh...and why is that?

Celestial: I have an army to lead...

**With that, Celestial leaps forward with a speed that catches Vortex off guard. Although Votrex sucessfully parries aside the kick meant for his ribs, Celestial's palm smashes into his nose, drawing blood. As Vortex staggers back clutching his nose, Celestial takes the opportunity to toss out a ball composed of sparks at him, which hits him in the chest and sends him skidding along the ground. The crowd cheers as Celestial advances.**

Vortex: He's FAST. I had best be more mindful.

**He handsprings back up, and rather than wait for Celestial to attack again, takes the offensive with a series of three quick spinning left kicks, the first two of which are dodged, Celestial ducking under or leaping over. The third connects with Celestial's cheek and sends him tumbling. He does not fall, but rather lands on his hand and cartwheels back into a standing position. Vortex rushes in, and attempts a backhand which Celestial catches. he flips Vortex over, and onto the floor, hard. As he raises his leg to step on his chest, however, Vortex swings both of his legs back over his head, catching Celestial in the stomach and knocking him back. As his foe rises to his feet, Celestial ponders him.

Celestial: His strikes are powerful...that actually hurt...

**Vortex dashes in to attack again, but Celestial spreads wide his wings, and gives himself a quick burst of speed backwards. Vortex, however, leaps forward and unleshes a blast of wind from his palms which hits the ground behind him and rockets him forward.**

Celestial: Impressive!!

**But as Vortex closes in, Celestial grabs his wrists, jams his foot into his solar plexus, and flips him over in mid-air. Vortex continues to fly, out of control and upside down, and crashes headfirst into a stone pillar. He slides down, and remains there for a moment. As the crowd begins to wonder whether or not he will rise, he does, slowly, wi[pes the blood from his forehead, and shakes his head to clear away the pain. Celestial smiles.**

Celestial: Just not good enough...

**A glimmer of determination flashes in Vortex's eyes as he shifts back into posture**

Dragon King: The first clash has been made, and from where I stand, Celestial has won it. Begin the second round!!

**The crowd cheers again, as Vortex slowly moves in. Celestial beckons him to come forth, and they begin to exhange blows once more. Vortex connects first with a punch to Celestial's stomach. This serves only to enrage the vampire, who grabs his enemy's skull and hits him in the face with a fierce headbutt. Vortex does not flinch back this time however, but uses a quick upward kick to catch Celestial in the chin, causing his mouth to spew blood. Celestial backs off, and produces his weapon, a Ji, better known as a halberd. As he twirls it menacingly, he speaks.**

Celestial: I think we can dispense with the pleasentries, now. Come! Show me your weapon, if you have one!

Vortex: If you insist!

**Vortex tenses his muscles, and four curved blades extend, one from each elbow and knee. He folds his arms inwards so they face his enemy, and Celestial grins, and begins a wide swing with his halberd, which Vortex's left arm blade swats back. He tries to spin inwards to impale Celestial with his right, but Celestial's halberd deflects it, and it comes down, scoring a large gash down Vortex's chest. The blood flows.**

Vortex: ARGH!!

Celestial: That looks good. Perhaps I'll try some!!

Celestial's wings flap, and he leaps forth, fangs glinting, but Vortex summons a wind blast which sends Celestial crashing to the ground. As he leaps forward, knees bent back with blades extending to slice his opponent, Celestial sends out a second spark which catches Vortex in the chest, again. But this one stops Vortex cold, and with a sweep of his free arm, Celestial sends Vortex over him to fall face down to the floor.**

Celestial: Your blood is mine!

**With that, Celestial leaps onto Vortex's back as he rises, wrapping his legs around his waist, and using the hilt of his halberd to choke him as he sinks his teeth into his neck. As Vortex screams, he plunges his elbow blades backwards into Celestial's ribs, causing the vampire to gasp.**

Celestial: AGH! Ha...bleed me as you like...I will only take MORE!

**He sinks his teeth back into Vortex's neck, drawing even more blood.*

Vortex: I can't take much more of this...

**Loathe as he is to do it, Vortex summons up an immense gale from within himself which expands outward in a hurricane fashion. Celestial is torn from his grip, and spins outwards into the sky. As he begins to fall, Vortex leaps upwards with a swinging kick to Celestial's ribs. A crack is heard, and Celestial falls to the ground. Vortex lands on his feet, and waits for Celestial to rise. He does, but slowly.**

Dragon King: And so has the second match come to an end. I declare Votex the winner. Now, let this end. Begin the third round, until only one is left standing! FIGHT!

**The two circle for the final time, their weapons ready. Celestial feints left, and swings right. Vortex knocks the blade back with an upraised knee blade, and sends a quick blast of wind to knock Celestial back. He rushes in, and hits Celestial in the face with three jabs to the face which dizzy the vampire. But before he can complete the chain, his vision falters, and blurs. He sees two Celestials standing before him, and begins to lose his balance. A kick to the side of the head, and Vortex falls to the ground.**

Celestial: You've lost...a great deal of blood, haven't you...you're finished...

Vortex: No...not yet...

**He gets up.**

Celestial: Fool. You cannot hit what you cannot see...

**And with that, Celestial's image blurs again, and disappears entirely.**

Vortex: WHAT?

**He looks to his left and right, but there is no sign of his enemy, until he is given a second scarring down the length of his chest by his enemy's invisible weapon. He screams again, and feels a strike to the back of his head. He swings around blindly, but connects with nothing. His legs are tripped from under him, and he feels a blow to his chest as he falls.**

Vortex: Guhhh...

**He attemps to rise, but a strike to the face knocks him down onto his back. Blood fills his vision.**

Celestial's voice: Before I kill you, I offer the chance to join my army, young one. I could use someone with power such as yours.

Vortex: N...no...

Celestial's voice: So be it. I offer no second chances. I will instead give you a death worthy of a warrior...

**Vortex hears a flapping of winds, which ascends.**

Vortex: He means to..impale me with his weapon...

**The beating of wings grows more distant, higher into the sky**

Vortex: Only once chance...if I miss this, I die...

**He closes his eyes, and focuses his wind power into his fists. He lays there upon the ground, immobile...as the seconds pass, the crowd is breathless...and finally, Vortex hears the rushing of wind from directly above him. He hesitates, and suddenly raises and sweeps his arms from left to right, the winds rushing to obey his command....

There is a sickening crack, and a crater suddenly appears in the ground next to Vortex. After a moment, a clattering noise is heard, and Celestial's weapon becomes visible as it falls to the floor. Celestial himself appears next, inside the crater. Facing up, his body is twisted and contorted, and bleeding profusely. Vortex slowly rises.**

Vortex: Your mistake...was...taking to the skies...

Celestial: U..uhhh...

Dragon King: Excellent! Now, FINISH HIM!

**Vortex pauses for a moment, and raises his elbow's blade.**

Celestial: Ni...ta...ra.......for...give....me...

Vortex: ...

Dragon King: FINISH HIM!

Vortex: ...no.

**He looks up at the Dragon King.**

Vortex: There is no need. This battle is finished.

Dragon King: You DARE defy me?!

Vortex: Nowhere was it stated that those who fell had to die. Am I wrong?

Dragon King: ...so be it. I suppose to some humans, life is a thing of value. That is your choice.

**He rises from his throne**

Dragon King: Vortex Wins!

**The crowd goes mad with applause, as Vortex hobbles his way out of the ring. Two monks rush forth and raise the badly injured Celestial onto a stretcher.**

Vortex: I hope...my lost memories are worth this...

**One of the Dragon King's servants steps into the arena (which was, by the way, a courtyard)**

Servant Monk: While we wait for the next match to begin, we would like to take the time to remind you that there are a variety of foods and beverages available in the garden to the right of the palace...

**He continues speaking as the populace looks on. Nearby, underneath a tree...**

Piroh: Sounds good. Should we eat, yes?

Kilvan: You know full well I'm not hungry. But, if you insist...

**He walks over to a series of tables, Piroh sitting on his shoulder. There are a variety of assorted foods, both exotic and local, prominent among these being an immense fried pig with an apple in its mouth. Fine wines and beers are stored in large flasks, being poured by scantily-clad, elven-eared servant girls.**

Piroh: Yay! Lard, lips, and liquor!

**The tiny cyclops floats off of Kilvan's shoulder, and over to a nearby table. Two servant girls pour him a glass of red wine, giggle, and scratch him behind the ears.**

Kilvan: ...

**He holds out a wine glass, which is filled. Before he drinks, he looks around.**

Kilvan: I rather like this place. It's so...

**One of Hatsuma's screams echoes chillingly through the palace.**

Kilvan: ...exhilirating.

Piroh(with a mouthful of food, and stll being cooed over by the servant girls): Me too.

**Kilvan chuckles, and sips from his wine glass, the liquid flowing in through the slit in his mask.**

Piroh: I told the Dragon King about the Edenian army's eastern encampments. He plans to ambush them tonight.

Kilvan: My. Won't Sindel be upset?

**They both laugh again.**

Kilvan: This is a nice place, but there are some things I could do without...

Piroh: Like?

Kilvan: The company, for instance. Honestly, sometimes I don't know what Sensui is thinking. All that power will only destroy him in the end...there are others, too. The whores, the mechanical man, the mortals...

Piroh: But they're all pretty strong, no?

Kilvan: Yes...like that fight just now...that windy mortal has more credit than I gave him. I look forward to making him bleed. Him, and all the others...

**Piroh sips from his wine glass, and gets a backrub from the servant girls, who are still giggling and cooing.**

Piroh: Better not underestimate them, though.

Kilvan: Pfft. What harm can they possibly do me?

**They both chuckle.**

Interesting...wierd,but very interesting indeed.Actually never mind im just bored.

(Vandon Stands near an open window inside the palace watching over the battles and events as the occur. He stares off in the distance somewhere as he senses someones presence)
Vandon: You're not very wise if you believe lurking in my domain will keep you from being noticed.
(Noob walks out from where he was hiding in the shadows)
(Vandon turns toward noob):Tell me, is Shao Kahn planning on attending the tournament?
Noob: Shao Kahn was killed by the Deadly Alliance, didn't you know that?
(Vandon closes his eyes as a dissatisfied look comes over his face)
Vandon: fine, let me make this a little clearer for you. (In a blink of an eye Vandon is holding Noob up against the wall by his throat as his eyes turn completely black) Is your master planning on growing some balls and coming here to face me you worthless piece of shit!!!
Noob: (choking) I do not.... know... he... has not...(cough) told me his plans.
(Somewhat displeased, Vandon drops Noob to the floor and turns his back to him)
Vandon: Tell Kahn that he can't hide forever, if he doesn't face me in the tournament I will track him down like the dog that he is. I will have my revenge whether he has the honor enough to battle me or not. (Noob slowly starts to slink away) Oh and Noob...(He halts from moving)
Noob:yes?
Vandon: (turning his eyes towards Noob he summons a black dragon fireball which begins swirling up and down his arm growling) If you ever try to spy on me like that again. I'll be sending your black heart back to Shao Kahn on a silver platter.
(noob sinks into the floor and disappears)

Great fight scene Shadaloo. It's pretty rare to see both contestants in Mortal Kombat live after a match like that. And it shows that Vortex has a code honor and a value for life. He is a great fighter and is one of my favs.

-Courtyard-
The sun shines bright as the warriors take this time to relax and prepare for their upcoming bouts. Ghost and Ryoko are at one side of the courtyard under an apple tree.
Ryoko"This is so stupid! I don't want to fight you."
Ghost"It's not my greatest desire to do any harm to you as well. However fate has put us against each other in the ring. Just remmember, no matter what happens this changes nothing between us."
Ghost reaches up and pulls an apple of the tree and hands it to Ryoko.
Ghost"A lovely apple for a lovely lady?"
Ryoko smiles a bit and takes the apple.

Sensui is sitting under a tree starring at his hand deep in thought.
Sensui"How did I end up this way? What where the mechanations of fate that drove me down this path?"
He remmembers watching Tsunami die in his hands so long ago. He creates an image of her from flames in his palm. He closes his fist again destroying the image.
Sensui"Hmph, it matters not. I've done this of my own free will. I have no regrets."
Sensui starts singing.
Sneusi"And every time I think've finaly made it I learn I'm farhter away, then I have ever been before. I see the clock and it's ticking away, and the hourglass empty, what the fuck do I have to say? I'm afraid I'm falling farther away, falling farther away falling farther from where I wanna be." Sensui's eyes glaze over again and he returns to his old self as he begins to glow with his demonic aura again.

In another part of the courtyard, Gabrielle is walking through the rose bushes as the sun dances on her face.
Gabrielle"It's hard to imagine that this place is evil. Everyone seems to be at peace right now."
Hatsuma's screams disturb the silence in the courtyard. Gabrielle lowers her head and clenches her fist."Please make it stop."
Ravage walks up behind her.
Gabrielle"What do you want?"
Ravage"You care for the one called Hatsuma. Illogical. Why posses these emotions for someone who may not feel the same way?"
Gabrielle"I...I don't know. I....care about him. I don't know why so don't ask me."
Ravage is silent for a few seconds."Love....illogical. If your objective is to see him, why not go to him?"
Ravage leaves a stunned Gabrielle in the bushes as the android walks away.

Lol,apparently Sensui is a trapt fan,that was pretty funny.I remember what the name of the song is too,still frame.Had to check cause I forgot the name.

Vendon and Noob Saibot had been conversing whilst unknown to them Sarakia was acknowledging every word.
Sarakia who wa sonce prevailed the Voodoo Queen of all realms had been ressurected when the Dragon King made his arrival as he caused a deliberate rift between Outworld and the Netherrealm resulting in Millions of Outworlders to Plummet into the fiery depths of the Netherrealm and hundereds and thousands of the Netherrealms minions to finally be released into Outworld once more, giving Sarakia the chance she had longed for centuries.
It was rumoured that Sarakia had made a temporary allegiance with the former Brother of the Shadow to secretly give Shao Kahn the information he required for eliminating King Jerrod and taking Queen Sindel as his wife.
Sarakia despised Shao Kahn, the only reason she did this was to disrupt the realm of Edenia giving her the oppurtunity she needed to obtain her "bible" as she called it. The book she reffered to as her bible was the neccessitie she needed to expand her already superior knowledge of Voodoo and the Dark Arts so she could finally remove Shao Kahn from the throne of Outworld, her plan failed and she was banished to the Netherrealm, she was the betrayer who had become the betrayed, she was to spend several centuries slowing bubbling with rage and anger, until the day she was released.
When her foot first touched the Outworld plains she was dumbfounded, something so meticulate as this. She was astonsihed to hear that the Dragon King (Damantae) was the instigator of the merge of Outworld and the Netherrealm and that he had taken the throne of Outworld once more, Sarakia demanded an explanation to what had happened from an Outworld civillian who told her that teh Deadly Alliance had assasinated him whilst he was weak. Only not to her or the civillans knowledge was that Shao Kahn was watching the chaos being unleashed onto his realm from a cliff which had been erected once the gate to the netherrealm spawned forth into Outworld...
Sarakia then was attacked from behind from an unknown assailant...Who then began the fight with Sarakia, who both were equally matched with one another..

Ok, I know its not very good, but I'll tweak it up and add more later.

For those of you interested in my character - Sarakia who won the first C-A-Character tournament you can find her details, etc in this link - http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?name=mk6&message;=65404 - Its the 17th posted reply and its entitled 7) Sarakia - please do not reply to this thread as it is very old.

Oh yeah. Just cause you're in always in the Netherealm doesn't mean you can't have a favorite song. I should've said that he had some headphones on while singing to himself.

That would of been great.So is Sensui starting to remember his life before he turned into what he is today?

Oh yeah, now I remmeber her. I thought that name was familiar. She beat Tia Tsung to become the champ in the final round. I'm surprised she has appeared since the rules state that being the champion of Mortal Kombat gives you a choice to participate or even appear again. Nice to see her.

U kiddin, tygrant. It's a badass story. you hav3 to add h3r in. sh3's great. i was going to ad to your story but i d3cid3d to l3t you continu3 this part first.

- CELL –

A very weak Celestial is brought in. The monks just drop him to the ground not caring if he was in pain.
Vortex walks in.

Celestial: (weakly) Why didn’t you kill me? You want to see me suffer?
Vortex: As much as I wanted too, I couldn’t. You have an army to attend to. They need. You do know they’re killing all of Dragon King’s army? But they still need guidance.
Celestial: What’s in it for you?
Vortex: The destruction of a king I despise. You were lucky today, maybe next time I won’t be too caring. By the way, Nitara was a dar friend.

Vortex just leaves. His shadow pops out of the ground, revealing to be Noob Saibot.

NooB: The master wants to see you.

Noob teleports out, taking Celestial along.

- Noob’s Lair –

Noob flies out of the ground, and drops Celestial to the ground. Shao Khan grabs his sword, and dashes next to Celestial, jamming the sword on the ground next to Ceestial’s head.

Shao Khan: I should kill you right now.
Celestial: Do it. I fear not death, for I’ve been dead the last hundreds of centuries. DO IT! KILL ME! DO IT!

Shao Khan pulls up the sword, screaming, and again stabs the ground next to Celestial’s head. This time very much closer.

Shao Khan: (laughs) Oops, I did it again to your heart. I missed that. I do. I hate not being able to toy around with anyone, anymore. But I’ll get those days back. That’s why I need you.

He reaches down, and grabs Celestial, and raises him off his feet. He doesn’t even care the vampire groans in pain.

Shao Khan: Indeed you are out of the tournament. Pussy. But you have not been exiled out this realm. You’re still of use to me. Your army is winning, Guide them to victory.
Celestial: So you can just waltz out of here and take over? Whose the real pussy, here?

Shao Khan angrily tosses the hurt vampire against a rock, breaking completely.

Shao Khan: I will fight the Dragon King myself and deeat his ass, for it’s the last thing that I do.
Noob: But you have many enemies, sir. Vandon wants to disassemble you too.
Shao Khan: Vandoon? (scoffs) That weak pathetic mortal. (laughs)
Celestial: Watch what you say, and eat your words. Your enemies have gotten stronger.
Shao Khan: I fear nothing. They want me? They will feel my wrath, once more, SOON! Noob, give that son of a bitch cure medicine. He has work to do.

I apologize if I am making an assumption but I'm not sure whether or not you entered a character in this tournament. If you did not then you should know that only current contestants can add to the storyline. If I am wrong you have my full apologies but if not then the last post probably won't be considered relavent to the storyline.

First: Excellent Fight Shadaloo! I'm very impressed.

Second: I love how the story is developing outside of the story as well...I will be adding a part myself shortly...though I don't know which fight I'm gonna take yet. I think I might write an interaction between Gabrielle and Ryoko regarding Hatsuma.

Third: Unfortunately Tyrant, TheDragonKingakaReptile IS correct...this story is revolving around the characters for the SECOND tournament...and normally you wouldn't be able to add to it. However, given that you were involved and actually won the last tournament with Sarakia...I think as reigning champ your entitled to write if you want to. Smoke and Rabid...If you have no objections I'd like to let his submission stand...but if you do let me know and we will discuss it further.

Thanks
TT

I agree that Sarakia should be able to be in the story,as reigning champion,she should have something to do with the story.I dont really know what yet but it could be something to do with the tournament.

*Announcment* Rabid has expressed interest in taking the Ryoko/Ghost fight...So He will be the one to write it. Thanks.

*Raises hands and backs off.*
No problem's here. As the first champion, just like in the real MK tournament he has the right to join the story if he pleases.

Rabid_Wolverine Wrote: That would of been great.So is Sensui starting to remember his life before he turned into what he is today?

Yeah, kind of. Remember, he wasn't always evil, but rather the circumstances turned him that way. Unlike most villains who are evil just 'cause they're born that way, I want Sensui to have more depth than that.

Courtyard:

Unable to get Ravage's words out of her mind, Gabrielle decides she has to talk to Ryoko about Hatsuma. She is confused, she doesn't really know why she has feelings for Hatsuma...however she cannot deny that she does. A new piece of her heart breaks every time she must listen to Hatsuma's screams in her head. Why does he have to suffer so? Can she not help him in some way? As she rounds the corner that leads to the Northwest part of the courtyard she scans the area for any sign of Ryoko. She spots her under an apple tree talking with Ghost. As she slowly makes her way over to them, she considers Ryoko's reaction to her news. 'Will she hate me? I can't believe that she would, but she views Hatsuma as evil. I tried to ignore it, but i saw her face when my feelings about Hatsuma were revealed to her...hell, I could practically hear her heart breaking. I think the only thing keeping her calm right now is the fact that it didn't come straight from my mouth. Now that it will...I'm scared as hell! But I have no one else to talk to.' These are the thoughts that Gabrielle wrestles with on her path across the courtyard.
Ghost: "Hello Gabrielle, how are you feeling today?"
Ryoko: "Hey Bri!"
Gabrielle: "I'm doing ok, I guess. Thanks for asking." She says managing a weak smile. "Ryoko, could I have a word with you in private please?"
Ryoko is instantly stiff, some part of her knows what this is about, she knows it's not something she wants to hear. "Um, sure. Collin would you excuse us a moment?"
Ghost "Of course. I will speak with you later." He bows to both ladies and leaves. Ryoko turns back to Gabrielle trying very hard to maintain a smile. "So what's on your mind Bri?"
Gabrielle Takes a deep breath and let's it out very slowly. "I-It's about Hatsuma." The smile fades from Ryoko's face, and she looks hard at Gabrielle. "What about Hatsuma? He is of no concern to us." Gabrielle stares in disbelief at what she's hearing. "He IS of concern to me! I..I think I love him!" Ryoko's eyes open wide, and her mouth is formed into a nasty sneer. "What did you say? A-Are you telling me that evil Bastard was right about you and that filth!" Gabrielle looks away from Ryoko, her eyes starting to fill up...then she turns back to her with the most defiant look she can muster. "Yes! And he is not filth! YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!" Ryoko starts to pace. "OH AND I SUPPOSE YOU DO!? Gabrielle It's been barely four weeks since all this started! And you've hardly been around him. He almost knocked you through a wall do you remember that? Is that love? IS IT?!" Gabrielle stands in front of Ryoko so she is directly in her face now. "Hardly been around him?! When I was held captive by Sensui...Hatsuma was there all the time! But you wouldn't know that would you? Would you?! BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T!!" Gabrielle is crying now. "Gabri.." Gabrielle puts her hands up "NO! And as far as him hitting me goes, I feel I have to remind you of two things. One, I attacked him first remember? Two, He could have done much worse! He held back because it was me! Neither of us understands these feelings! I have no idea why I am drawn to him, and he is just as confused. We are so connected now that I hear him EVERY time he screams in his prison. Do you have any idea what that's like?! You are...no..were my best friend Ryoko, I thought that I could talk to you about this because it's ripping me up inside. I see differently now...you're never going to come down from your pedestal are you? You know what you are Ryoko? Your nothing but a glorified snob! The world is Not all black and white! There are grey areas! It's time you realized that. For your information it's not Hatsuma's fault that he is the way he is...Sensui did that to him, and in one of the worst ways imaginable. You don't know what he's been through! So don't you DARE sit up on your high horse and look down on him with your judgments!" With that Gabrielle runs off crying uncontrollably. Ryoko wants so badly to go after her, tears forming in her own eyes. But she thinks better of it...Gabrielle needs space right now.
Ryoko:"Have I really become so heartless? So blind? How could I have missed it before?"
Sensui: Steps out of the shadows Chuckling. "You know you'll never get her back now right? She'll never trust you again. And do you wanna know what the most delicious part of that is? Without you, it'll be all TOO easy to make her my slave as Hatsuma is."
Ryoko: "You so much as go near her, and I will rip out your spine and wear it as a necklace! Do you hear me?!" Sensui just laughs and disappears, his evil laugh echoing in the courtyard.

*Whew* I know it's been a while since I've written for the story, sorry about that guys...hope you like the new addition.

Cool stories guys, all this could be made into one whole book someday..it'd be great.
Keep it up guys.

Nice work Tazblade.
It's a different scenario compared to the others..it gets a bit personal, but it's cool.
You get to know much more about them..keep it up.
