Mu's Death Wish

..

"I have to stay here… I can't return to Jamiel yet" Mu told her one evening. Mary leaned against his bare chest, curling her legs beside his waist. If he thought she was upset about having to stay in the Sanctuary, he was horribly mistaken.

"That's alright, I've met the Amazons and they promised they'd show me some defensive moves. I think they're under the impression that I am powerless" Her lover's arm were around her own.

Kissing her forehead, the long haired male sighed against her ear. "I wish you wouldn't involve yourself and risk your life in this Mary… I… don't want you to get hurt" The witch laced their finger together.

"I told you, I will follow you until the day you don't want me anymore. I don't mind risking my life for my friends, and you're so much more than a friend! I'm not that easily killed" She half-joked. "If anything, death fears me"

Mu said nothing else, just took comfort in her embrace never considering that her words rang truer than anyone would have thought.

..

Of course shit hits the fan right when she's visiting England, and didn't receive any news at all until word came that Mu has been dragged down to hell… Well, She just found out a very delightful news and would not stand for having a dead boyfriend.

"Mary, you can't go!" Hermione cried "I know he means a lot to you, but you can't risk -"

"I know!" Mary jerked away from her friend and strode proudly to the Arch Way known as the Veil of Death. "Mu is not dead, I won't let him die after what he did to me!" Even the unspeakable were desperately flying out of her way as her magic created a mini tornado around her. The only brave enough to get close was Hermione and that was because the muggleborn witch was one of the few who knew with absolute conviction that Mary would never willingly hurt someone.

Sighing at the Prometheus' task that was trying to change Mary's mind, Hermione stopped her friend right before she stormed through the veil. "Just be careful, alright, and bring that boyfriend of yours back" Nodding, Mary sent one last courage filled look back to her friend and jumped head first into the Veil to the astounded faces of the curious people who'd come to witness Potter's rampage.

..

The frontier between life and death was… interesting… possessing the gifts she did allowed Mary free reign in this realm anyway, so she used that to its fullest by diving fearlessly into Hades. Going through dead bodies and cracked Armor parts didn't even make her stop. Her goal was one and her mind was set.

Walking briskly until she reached the one she was looking for. There he stood, brutal purpose written on his face, eyes shining in resignation and his need to save that goddess of his. Well, she'd have to pop his bubble before he got into his head that he had to die at all. Anger rising in her chest that the love of her life would indeed die for another woman, Mary summoned her inner power, igniting that infinite Cosmos that burst from her very soul into a fiery inferno around her.

Startled, the 17 Saints prostrated in front of the Wall of Laments turned as one to watch with growing horror as the insanely powerful being approached them from behind. They never, not in their wildest dreams could imagine experiencing a Cosmo this powerful and enraged, not even Hades got close. It was Mu, who with a cold sweat realized the monster he unleashed. To his friend's confusion, he stepped toward the being enshrouded in that super-nova Cosmo.

"Mary! What are you doing here?" He even had to ask? More than one chin crashed to the ground at Mu's words. Seeing no need to keep up dramatics, Mary allowed her Cosmos and Magic to simmer in a halo of Fire and Darkness around her. "What… what is the meaning of this?" Mu asked, hurt and confusion on his face. He was feeling betrayed by the power she hid from him, but she was feeling twice as hurt and betrayed.

"What are you?" Seya, the white and red armored boy asked for all of those behind him.

"Death Wish" Mary whispered. The unnatural wind picked up her words and carried them all around. "One might also call me Thanatos, or at least an Avatar to Death, Death Wish is what I embody and it is a Death Wish that brought me here" Her eyes glinted angrily as she glared at Mu, who paled and tried to take a step back.

"You are… Thanatos?" Mu couldn't believe his ears. His beloved girlfriend was also an Avatar to a god… no, a Titan by the looks of things. Her Cosmo was terrible, dwarfing Athena's but a lot darker in nature. "Why…" His words failed him. The other Saints broke into conversation between themselves but gave the solemn moment to the two lovers. They'd help fight against her has she proved a treat.

"Why I never told you?" Mary finished coldly. She hid nothing from him directly… just disguised within meanings. "But I did tell you… the cloak remember?"

"Death's cloak…" Mu muttered under his breath. "You said the cloak could keep even Death's eyes away from you, and that it was part of a set"

"I own all three of them… the cloak, the wand and the ring – Giving me power over all aspects of Death and the right to call myself Thanatos" Her eyes steeled. "And so I thought, I might as well use this forsaken power to save my boyfriend from hell before he got into his head that I would let him die!" She would not let anyone else die in her watch again! Not as long as she had the power to prevent it.

"You don't understand! We need a way through this wall, it's the only way we have to save Athena!" Mu tried to explain.

Shaka picked up after that. "The way through this wall is with sunlight…We need the power of a god to do it, and the only way we might reach that level is if we combine the power of all twelve Golden Saints"

"You won't be able to stop us!" Seya shouted angrily, still not understanding that if the twelve golden Saints did what they wanted, they'd die.

"They will die" Mary interrupted him before he could charge against her. His blonde friend had a hand firmly on Pegasus' shoulder. The boy stopped, staring at her confusedly before a horrified look crossed his eyes and he turned to stare at the Goldies.

"Is that true? Will you die if you open this wall?" He was torn… he couldn't let them sacrifice themselves like this, there has to be another way!

"No mortal is meant to wield the power of a god" Mary explained warily, still glaring daggers at Mu. "But I am more than a Mortal… If it means Mu lives, I shall break down this wall by myself"

"No! Mary! Please, go back!" Her lover pleaded. Swallowing, Mary summed whatever anger she was still feeling.

Meeting his eyes, she let the sparks of rage out. "I promised, more than once, that while you fought to protect your goddess, I'd fight to protect you… and I will not let you die before we marry! I refuse to raise your spawn by myself!" And wasn't that a gentle way to tell your boyfriend you was pregnant with his child? Hell's gate in front of them and dead people as witnesses.

"W-what…?" If possible, Aries' Saint paled even more. "Mary… you…" A couple of hands found his shoulder and steadied the poor Mu.

"Isn't she Mu's girlfriend? And he Knocked her up!" Death Mask cracked out with a laugh. Milo joined him.

"If that is not a marriage proposal, don't even bother" Mu was still watching her like a lost man who found salvation after a life time of sinning "now get out of my way!" She growled out at the gapping men. Willing the Hallows to appear, Mary allowed them to shift and mold into a gleaming dark female Saintly armor, complete with a cute emerald circlet and a wicked bone white sword that had the same patterns as the Elder wand.

Walking steadily and raising the wand-turned-sword, the witch let out a current of overwhelming power wash down her arm and to the tip of the sword – it started to hum and vibrate in her hand, and soon there was a dot of light forming on the edge of the blade, growing brighter and bigger as seconds tickled by. When there virtually was a mini-sun held by her blade, Mary slashed down the wall in an spectacular show of light and sparks – feeling the barrier shatter and melt like it was nothing.

Satisfied with her work, she turned back to the stunned, gaping Saints. "Shall we go save your goddess?" Her voice was dry and bored.

..

"Who do you think you are?" Hades growled impressively. He was intimidating, but Mary simply glared back.

"Death Wish" She answered the same. Hades' face paled as impressively as he growled. "I'm glad I don't have to explain… now you have two options for almost getting my lover killed" Saori shuffled back to her Saints, her eyes wide and baffled. "You surrender now, go back to your urn and never come out again, or we find out just how good I am at vanquishing dark lords"

There was an epic battle royal in which Hades refused Mary's mercy and dared to attack Athena. Her Saints trashed the god throughoutly enough that she didn't have to interfere. After Saori's monologue about the power of love and loving Earth and inspiring even the still simmering in rage Mary, she proceeded to seal Hades back into his urn. Mary picked it up and pocketed it.

"What will you do with it?" Saori asked, wariness written in her face. Had she learnt nothing about Mary at all? Glaring, the witch resisted the urge to flit Athena off.

"I'm going to stuff this in a drawer and never let it out again" Was the clipped answer. No one questioned her choice of words for their benefit, though Mu still looked faint.

"How do we leave this place" Aiolia asked sensibly, looking sadly at his brother.

"We can't… we're already dead" The Sagittarius Saint answered heavily. The other dead people all looked sad and resigned.

Mary's eyebrow twitched "Aiolia, I like you, so I will let you in a secret" She started, amusedly aware that all pair of ears were trailed on her. "This is one of the Items Death owned, it is called the Resurrection Stone – while in the surface it does nothing more than summon shades, in here it will open a direct portal to the world above" Hopeful faces had her smiling slightly. "All who cross the Veil can never return, but I am not everyone… when I open this portal, all who crossed the veil will be able to return"

They cheered, cried, laughed, bonded and then crossed the portal she patiently held open. To her eyes' happiness, they all came back naked save for her, so she had an undisrupted view of perfect males bodies parading around and hugging each other shamelessly in friendship that her muddled brain appreciated wonderfully.

Mu, to her infinite disappointment, grew courage enough to approach her and close her eyes with his hands. "Mary!" He exclaimed, scandalized. She was due to a little revenge wasn't she? So She leaned back against him and rested a head on his bare chest.

"We have a lot to talk about… but first, let me summon some clothes…" She grumbled all the while, but even Saori had an appreciative blush on her cheeks.

..

"Are you really…" He motioned to her belly. Mary's droll stare was answer enough. She was still annoyed with him. "I'm sorry… please forgive me, Mary… Had I known…"

"You would have done the same thing… I don't blame you, Mu, its one of the things I love and hate about you, but I've come to accept it. Just don't die anytime soon"

"I can do that" He grinned awkwardly. "I love you Mary, please accept this one's pledge and allow me to show how much you mean to me for the rest of our lives" And he was on his knees, holding her hand like it was the most precious thing in the universe.

"Oh Mu, of course I take your pledge!" She tackled him to the ground. "We're having twins, by the way"

..

End! MaryxMu ahhahha! Because Mu is awesome… even if he looks like a girl.. D:
