[Fanfic] The Wicked [Chapter 4]
Title: The Wicked [Chapter 4]
Rating: T
Warnings: AU, slight OOC, and as it's a semi-musical based on a not so very popular broadway musical, it can be confusing.
Summary: The Citizens of Deimon are celebrating the death of a man they deemed Wicked. But is there more to it than what it seems? Could something bigger had happened behind the scenes? Semi-based on the Broadway Musical "Wicked" and is a semi-Musical. HiruMamo and SenaSuzu.
Disclaimers: I do not own the characters and the lyrics used here (despite the modifications). They belong to their respective owners!
Notes: I was supposed to post this earlier in the day but got hit with a bad headache that made it hard for me to stay in front of the computer long. -___-
I didn't expect the chapter to end up so long. XD I was so tempted to split the musical part into the next chapter, but thought it best to keep one song in one chapter than to split the lyrics. So this is the version that you get.
Song used is "Dancing Through Life" from Wicked. Have a listen to it here. As usual, you don't necessarily have to listen, just skim through. They don't play too much of a vital role other than to create some fun imagery. Enjoy!

Mamori was on her way to another class one morning when she suddenly found Sena next to her. “S-Sena! When did you get here?!” she cried.
“Oh!” said Sena, surprised as she was. “I-I didn’t realize I sped up next to you, Mamori. I’m sorry,” he said a little sheepishly. “Sometimes I don’t know my own speed.”
“But that really is amazing, to be able to run that fast,” said Mamori.
“Yeah, but I can’t do much sports without it being seen as cheating,” said Sena. “But then again, I do my best to help out others through other ways like helping to pick up the balls scattered around the field and...”
Mamori suddenly heard a girl scream and in barely a second saw a girl fall down the stairs behind them. Before she could even gasp, Sena was already by the end of the stairs as the girl fell right on top of him.
“Oh my gosh!” cried Mamori as she ran up to them. “Are you guys all right?”
“I-I’m okay,” said the girl, who was quite petite, and was wearing what appeared to be a cheerleader’s outfit. “I’m sooo sorry! I completely spaced out!” She looked at Sena whom she was still pinning down. “Are you okay?”
Sena seemed awestruck for a moment, barely able to speak. Then he gasped and said, “I’m sorry, but can you move your hand? You’re crushing my stomach...”
“OH!” the girl gasped and quickly got up. “I’m sorry! I’m just... Oh, I’m just completely spacing out right now, I’m so sorry.”
Sena got up slowly, still staring at the girl. “Is something wrong?”
“Well, things are getting a bit hectic on my side,” she explained. “We cheerleaders are getting ready for the arrival of one of the most popular guys ever, and yet...” she faltered, looking down.
“Yet?” asked Sena and Mamori.
“Well, I’m small, you see... and the other girls keep pushing me out from helping just because they don’t think I quite cut it.”
“Well, that’s not fair! Sena’s small, too, but he’s incredibly talented! I’m sure you’re just as talented as those other girls,” said Mamori as Sena blushed a little.
“Yes, but these girls... well... they just have these standards that I have to follow or else I’ll be kicked out of the team,” the girl said. “Oh, why am I ranting to you guys out of nowhere? I guess I really am spacing out. By the way, my name’s-”
“SUZUNA!” they heard another girl cry from the top of the stairs, who was tall, curvy and was wearing the same uniform as her.
“Y-yes!” Suzuna squeaked.
“What are you doing just standing there? He’s on his way! All the other girls are ready to greet him and here you are talking to...” she gave a disgusted look at Sena and Mamori. “Anyways, get moving!”
“Right!” said Suzuna, who grinned a little sadly and waved at Sena and Mamori as she ran out of the building.
“That poor girl...” said Mamori. “I wonder why did she choose to become a cheerleader?”
“Because she can dance,” said Sena almost breathlessly. Mamori grinned a little at Sena who flustered. “I-I mean, I’ve seen her around! Especially on the field! Out of all the other girls, she’s the most flexible. She just doesn’t stand out a lot because of her size.”
“Well, she obviously stands out for you,” Mamori teased a little.
“Eheh...” said Sena sheepishly.
“Attention please,” they heard a voice from the speakers around the college say. “We would like to announce that classes for today have been cancelled.”
“What?” said Mamori as the announcer repeated himself. “But why?” Then they heard cheering from outside the building they were in. They both quickly walked out and pushed themselves forward in the thick crowd to see what everyone was cheering about.
It was then that they saw a man with dreadlocks, sunglasses and wearing a loud printed outfit stand in the middle of the college grounds, just like a celebrity. The cheerleaders especially were cheering their lungs out.
“Who is this guy?” said Mamori, and one girl next to her glared in reply.
“It’s Agon! The most hottest and popular guy known in history! He’s a great sportsman and I hear he’s amazing in bed!” the girl squealed and almost melted in reply.
“O-kay...” Mamori shook her head, thinking she really didn’t want to know that last point.
“Was it you who got all classes cancelled today?” one guy shouted at Agon from a distance.
Agon nodded. “Yes. After all, I’m finally here and I thought we might as well celebrate.”
All the girls cheered and squealed, especially the cheerleaders. Mamori was annoyed by this reply, “But classes are important! I don’t see why you being here should require classes to be cancelled like that.”
The crowd suddenly went silent. Sena panicked as Mamori stood her ground staring at Agon, who grinned at her. He walked up to her slowly, removing his glasses. “Well, don’t you look interesting...” he said. “Let me tell you a little bit of something about classes though...”
[Agon]
The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Agon took Mamori’s hand and led her to the middle of the school ground where everyone could see them. Mamori blushed a little but continued to glare at him.
[Agon]
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
Agon then winks at the cheerleaders who were more than eager to join him in dancing, but they pushed Suzuna back into the crowd. Mamori pulled away and looked for Sena, who was now lost in the crowd.
[Agon]
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life
The cheerleaders around him sighed, as the stared at him longingly. “So where’s the best place to celebrate my arrival?”
One cheerleader quickly raised her hand in excitement and said, “That would be the Deimon Dance Room!”
“Sounds perfect!” said Agon.
[Agon]
Let's go down to the Deimon Dance Room
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl
Give her a whirl
Right on down to the Deimon Dance Room
Come on - follow me
You'll be happy to be there
[Deimon College Students] (joining in dancing)
Dancing through life
Down at the Dance Room
[Agon]
If only dancing
Is what we come to do
[Deimon College Students]
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
[Agon]
So keep dancing through
“Mamori!” she heard Sena cry.
“Oh, Sena! Finally, thank goodness,” said Mamori.
“Yeah, the crowd’s finally moved. I guess they’re all looking for partners for this dance,” said Sena.
“Well, you might as well go too, then,” said Mamori as she noticed Suzuna looking crestfallen as the other cheerleaders hung on to the other popular guys.
“B-b-but with who?” said Sena, pretending not to notice where Mamori’s looking. Mamori shook her head, took Sena’s arm and pointed directly at Suzuna.
[Mamori]
See that tragically beautiful girl
The one over there
It seems so unfair
Everyone’s on a spree
And not she
Gee
I know someone would be her hero
If that someone were to go invite her
Sena thought for a moment. “W-well, I guess I’ll invite her then!” he said nervously.
“That’s great!” said Mamori. She then pushed Sena’s back towards Suzuna. “You do just that and have fun!”
She watched happily as Sena approached Suzuna nervously, as Suzuna looked down, trying to hide her smile. Mamori, satisfied by this, then decided to go back to her dorm when suddenly Agon appeared behind her.
“So I’ll pick you up around eight?” he said.
“What? Me?” said Mamori in surprise.
“Why, of course!” he said. “After all...”
[Agon]
Now that we've met one another
It's clear we deserve each other
I’m perfect
[Mamori]
You're perfect?
[Agon] (grabs Mamori and pulls her towards the dancing crowd)
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life
Mamori pulled herself away from Agon. “Look, I’m sorry but I have these assignments to finish and I really can’t be wasting my time at these dances...”
“Tch, did you not hear anything I said earlier? Relax! Take a load off! I’ll be by your place at eight,” said Agon determinedly as he turned and walked away.
“You don’t even know where I live!” cried Mamori, but Agon merely waved from the back.
Mamori sighed. If Agon could get the college to stop classes for the day, he could surely go through their records to find out where she lives. She was then trying to form a plan to not be in the dorm at eight when Sena ran up to her excitedly. “She agreed! I can’t believe it! I thought she’d reject me for sure as I’m not one of the popular guys!”
[Sena]
Finally, for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this pretty girl
Too popular for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Mamori, see?
We deserve each other
And somehow you helped it come true
We deserve each other,
Me and her
“I really hope you’ll come too, though...” said Sena, looking a bit nervous.
Mamori cringed a little. She really didn’t want to go, but now felt bad as surely Sena would need her support. With a hesitant sigh, she nodded and said, “I’ll be there.”
Mamori walked back to her dorm slowly, feeling a little worried about tonight. She had never attended anything like this. She even skipped her High School Prom to catch the Ha-Ha Brothers from causing more trouble. Mamori panicked for a moment when she realized she didn’t have any clothes to wear for this dance, when she then heard Suzuna call her from behind.
“Mamori!” cried Suzuna, running up to her, apparently holding a bag.
“Ah, Suzuna!” replied Mamori, smiling. “You know my name!”
Suzuna stopped in front of her and tried to catch her breath for a while. Then she said excitedly, “I heard Agon asked you out for the dance! That’s amazing! The other cheerleaders are so jealous of you!”
Mamori wanted to smack her forehead upon hearing that. Of course! The cheerleaders! Another aspect she forgot. “Oh no, I really, really don’t think I can go...”
“But you have to! Agon sent me here to give this to you!” And with that Suzuna took out a short black dress from the bag she was carrying. Mamori gave a disdainful sort of look.
“Oh, it’s really pretty once you try it on!” said Suzuna, but Mamori continued to look down.
Suzuna then tried to comfort Mamori a little.
[Suzuna]
It's really, uh, cute, don't you think?
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This dress and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here, out of the goodness of his heart!
Mamori took the dress hesitantly, but nodded and smiled sweetly at Suzuna. “Thank you so much.”
“I’m so looking forward to tonight!” said Suzuna. “It’s going to be beautiful and I really can’t wait to see…” Suzuna stopped herself and blushed a little. “Well, I’ll see you tonight then.”
As Mamori entered her dorm, Hiruma was there in the hall, lying down on one of the couches reading what appeared to be a text book. “So you heard classes were cancelled?” she asked him.
“Some fucking dread guy decided it, right?” he replied. “They’re going to have some big fucking party.”
Mamori sighed. “Yes, and it seems that the dread guy has asked me out.”
For the first time, Mamori saw Hiruma looked surprised. “That fucking dread asked you out?”
Mamori shrugged. “Strangely enough.”
Hiruma then saw that Mamori was carrying the black dress. “You’re going?”
“Sena’s going and I really want to support him.”
“The fucking shorty’s going? What is this, the end of the world?” said Hiruma. “Who’s he going with?”
“One of the cheerleaders,” said Mamori. “Suzuna.”
“Oh,” said Hiruma, suddenly falling back to his ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn’ mode. “Must be the fucking skates.”
“Skates?” asked Mamori, surprised.
“Yeah, she used to wear those fucking rollerblades and skated all around,” he said. “She took them off since she joined that cheerleading team. That fucking shorty has been watching her since high school. They’ve never spoken to each other though.”
Mamori was fascinated by this fact. “You’ve known Sena for THAT long?”
“Keh, stop prying,” said Hiruma irritably. “You better get ready for your fucking date. Most women seem to enjoy taking their fucking time to put layers and layers of shit on their faces.”
“It’s not a date! And stop using that language!” cried Mamori. But as she looked at the dress she was holding, she sighed and went into her room. Hiruma saw the look she gave, but carried on reading instead.
The day soon passed on to night and the Deimon Ballroom was filled with beautiful music and people in coloured and formal outfits. Excitement was in the air as a number of them began to dance on the dancefloor, while Sena stood nervously next to Suzuna, who was looking at the cheerleaders hanging on to their dates and giggling happily.
“Hey Suzuna,” said Sena.
“Yes?” she replied, finally looking at him.
[Sena]
Suzuna
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well -
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know you’d rather be...
“Oh Sena,” said Suzuna. “I know why.”
“You do?” asked Sena, surprised.
[Suzuna]
It's because I was lonely
And you felt sorry for me
Well - isn't that right?
“No! No!” cried Sena. “It's because... because...”
[Sena] (nervously)
Because you are so beautiful!
[Suzuna] (smiling happily and holds Sena’s hands)
Oh, Sena, I think you're wonderful!
And we deserve each other
Don't you see, this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Sena?
[Sena] (smiling softly)
You know what?
Let's dance.
“What?!” cried Suzuna as Sena pulled her to the dance floor.
[Sena]
Let's dance!
The other cheerleaders watched as Sena and Suzuna danced, Suzuna laughing and giggling as Sena clumsily danced and she gladly took the lead. The cheerleaders continued to look disapprovingly.
[Deimon College Students]
Dancing through life
Down at the Dance Room
If only dancing
Is what we come to!
And the strange thing
Your life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through!
“Look out!” they heard someone cry. The music instantly stopped as the students turn to look for the source of the voice...
And gasped.

Extra Notes: CLIFFHANGER!! *gets shot* Yes, I'm evil like that. Anyways, in case you decided to skip the musical parts, the most important aspect that happened is that Sena and Suzuna actually became an item. This plays a role later on. Hope you enjoyed this!

As Mamori entered her dorm, Hiruma was there in the hall, lying down on one of the couches reading what appeared to be a text book. “So you heard classes were cancelled?” she asked him.
“Some fucking dread guy decided it, right?” he replied. “They’re going to have some big fucking party.”
Mamori sighed. “Yes, and it seems that the dread guy has asked me out.”
For the first time, Mamori saw Hiruma looked surprised. “That fucking dread asked you out?”
Mamori shrugged. “Strangely enough.”
Hiruma then saw that Mamori was carrying the black dress. “You’re going?”

“Oh,” said Hiruma, suddenly falling back to his ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn’ mode. “Must be the fucking skates.”
“Skates?” asked Mamori, surprised.
“Yeah, she used to wear those fucking rollerblades and skated all around,” he said. “She took them off since she joined that cheerleading team. That fucking shorty has been watching her since high school. They’ve never spoken to each other though.”
Mamori was fascinated by this fact. “You’ve known Sena for THAT long?”
“Keh, stop prying,” said Hiruma irritably. “You better get ready for your fucking date. Most women seem to enjoy taking their fucking time to put layers and layers of shit on their faces.”
“It’s not a date! And stop using that language!” cried Mamori. But as she looked at the dress she was holding, she sighed and went into her room. Hiruma saw the look she gave, but carried on reading instead.
The day soon passed on to night and the Deimon Ballroom was filled with beautiful music and people in coloured and formal outfits. Excitement was in the air as a number of them began to dance on the dancefloor, while Sena stood nervously next to Suzuna, who was looking at the cheerleaders hanging on to their dates and giggling happily.
“Hey Suzuna,” said Sena.
“Yes?” she replied, finally looking at him.
[Sena]
Suzuna
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well -
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know you’d rather be...
“Oh Sena,” said Suzuna. “I know why.”
“You do?” asked Sena, surprised.
[Suzuna]
It's because I was lonely
And you felt sorry for me
Well - isn't that right?
“No! No!” cried Sena. “It's because... because...”
[Sena] (nervously)
Because you are so beautiful!
[Suzuna] (smiling happily and holds Sena’s hands)
Oh, Sena, I think you're wonderful!
And we deserve each other
Don't you see, this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Sena?
[Sena] (smiling softly)
You know what?
Let's dance.
“What?!” cried Suzuna as Sena pulled her to the dance floor.
[Sena]
Let's dance!
The other cheerleaders watched as Sena and Suzuna danced, Suzuna laughing and giggling as Sena clumsily danced and she gladly took the lead. The cheerleaders continued to look disapprovingly.
[Deimon College Students]
Dancing through life
Down at the Dance Room
If only dancing
Is what we come to!
And the strange thing
Your life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through!
“Look out!” they heard someone cry. The music instantly stopped as the students turn to look for the source of the voice...
And gasped.

Extra Notes: CLIFFHANGER!! *gets shot* Yes, I'm evil like that. Anyways, in case you decided to skip the musical parts, the most important aspect that happened is that Sena and Suzuna actually became an item. This plays a role later on. Hope you enjoyed this!
