New Beginnings

Yandere

Xena's eyes widened, "Wait! Yandere!" The wolf looked over at her and she stopped. She knew that look, "What have you done!?"

Fire gave her a fake hurt expression, "All I did was ask Wes to put on a show for me." The grin was back, "So he will. Whether he wants to or not."

Mikey snapped out of it and glared at the wolf, "What did you do?!" His eyes glowed gold.

The wolf chuckled, fixing her intense gaze on him, "He's safe, sound, and alive in his old home." Four Foxys grabbed Mikey's arms and one held him around the waist as he struggled.

"I know about how strong you are when you're angry Foxy." She continued. "Which means you'll join Maxie sooner than you think."

.o.0.o.

Wes struggled lightly in the suit, unable to leave through shadows. The damned wolf made the inside of the suit glow bright enough to disconnect him from them.

He let out a frustrated groan, "There has to be something I can do..." He closed his eyes with a sigh, "Come on, you guys had to have noticed..."

.o.0.o.

Fire grinned maliciously as her suit formed around Mikey. It was a twisted version of Foxy. It had too many rows of teeth, the rows looking like mouths inside of mouths while the body was tattered beyond repair. The fur was discolored and grotesc while the hook curled out of what looked like clustered barnacles. The claws on the other hand curled over his fingertips, looking like they'd been hastily put on. More barnicles were scattered across his body and his legs were bare, no fur or coverings to be seen. A tattered tail was hanging lifelessly behind him, brushing the back of the "metal" legs.

"Good Foxys!" She chimed, savagely breaking apart all the statues except Mangle. "Watch her for me won't you Mangle?" The statue merely moved over to Xena, hanging above her head so if she were to fall or be knocked straight down, the girl wouldn't be able to escape without a few scratches.

Yandere smirked in satisfaction, "Foxy, be a good boy and go get ready for your show." The suit started walking, Mikey trying to shout but the walls of the suit insulated noise. "It's a good thing I'm having him take back alleys..." She muttered.

Xena stared with wide eyes, "Fire-" The wolf spun around, glaring, "Don't call me that. Don't insult me." The other girl clamped her mouth shut for a moment before trying again, "Yandere, I thought you wanted this to last."

The wolf girl's tail curled, "I'm not crazy! This is who I am!" Her flames flared up, eyes still hollow, "If who I am is crazy, then I guess I really am insane, but hey," her eyes narrowed, "back to business as usual, right?"

Having her own words thrown back in her face caused Xena to flinch back, "Yandere-" The wolf ignored her and turned away, "I have a few dates to keep."

Then she was gone again.

.o.0.o.

Danny furrowed his brow as he walked out of the school, "Have any of you seen Max?"

Sam shook her head, "Not since lunch." She looked to Tucker but he shook his head as well, "Maybe he left?"

Phantom hummed, "We can ask Mikey or Fire if he's dropped by when we get back."

.o.0.o.

In the clearing on a recently created stage, Wes and Mikey were forced to stay. They struggled as much as they could with spring locks all around them.

"Johny! Any ideas?" Wes yelled.

Mikey grunted, eyes glowing gold, "No! That bitch did a pretty good job with this suit!" His voice was still muffled, but Wes was standing close enough to him that he could hear if the other boy yelled loud enough.

He groaned, "I guess we're stuck here..."

.o.0.o.

Fire was making something in the kitchen by the time Danny and Phantom came home. The two boys raised a brow at that before following the scent of rabbit meat frying. The wolf girl was humming merrily, bright silver eyes as happy as ever, but something was wrong. Something was off. This picture just seemed too perfect. Too good to be true.

"Did Mikey go home?" Was Danny's first question. He didn't feel him down stairs anymore.

Fire looked up from what she was doing, "If you mean back to his dorm then yeah, something about the college calling to tell him about a roommate?" She shrugged, turning back to the stove, "Not sure."

While Danny contemplated that, Phantom jumped in, "Have you seen Wes?"

The wolf furrowed her brow in thought, "Ah, no. Why?" She looked back over at them, her ears falling as her tail stilled, "Did something happen?"

The boys looked at each other, "We're not sure." Goldy said hesitantly.

There was an awkward silence before Fire cleared her throat, "Well, help yourselves. I already ate my fill and gave Xena some food too." She turned the burner off and ruffled her hair, a habit that set them both at ease, if only slightly.

"I think I'm gonna go take a nap for a while; if you need me, you know where to find me." She said easily with a small smile on her face before heading upstairs.

Phantom looked over at Danny, "You wanna go look for Wes?" The child spirit hesitated before shaking his head, "He can take care of himself. If he doesn't show up for school tomorrow, then we should try to find him."

Accepting the answer and proud that he made that decision, the prince nodded slightly, "What do you wanna do in the mean time?" He slinked closer to Danny, but was immediately rejected, "Homework, you horn toad."

Phantom huffed while his boyfriend laughed all the way to his room.

.o.0.o.

Once Fire got into her room, she created a sculpture of herself as accurately as she could with only fire crystal at her disposal. Once satisfied, she turned into smoke and started toward Sam's house.

The goth was about to get the surprise of her life. Especially with the new little invention Fire had put together in the basement just for her.
