Xenree released her Keyblades and gave a mock bow to Glen and the jaguar. With a hand over where her heart would've been, she stepped back until her heel came over the edge of the cliff. The jaguar and it's cat reflexes landed on it's feet and charged it's way back toward Xenree. She smiled under her hood with sheer pleasure, glints of silver shone from under the darkness of her hood, "As darkened blade pierces darkened heart, a lack of heart gives the user." she mumbled as the jaguar leapt at her again and her Keyblade, Dark Void, lifted and pierced the jaguar's heart.
After a few moments of struggle, Zain's eyes flew open. Zero relaxed his snarl and dropped Zain's hand. "Morning, Zain." Zain wildly glanced from Yuki to Zero to the doctor. "Wh-where am I? What's going on?" he glanced at his arm and shivered in horror, "What happend to my arm?"
She lost her hostility and folded her arms, assessing them. "Same reason you're here I suppose."
Saphique nodded and slipped through the secret hole in the side of the castle. He hurried up a stair case and looked down on Xenree and a large furred Beast in the main lobby of the castle. "Xenree looks hurt. And the Beast...ah dammit. I knew coming here would be dangerous, but does she ever listen to me? Nooooo." Saph jumped down and landed next to Xenree. He crouched and felt for a pulse in her neck. "If you're groping me, you'll be dead in a few seconds. The Beast isn't of any concern to us. Who's your friend?" Saph jumped out of his skin when she spoke. She looked so fragile laying there. Renee grinned and pulled him down to her to kiss him. "There's still time. There's always time for fun." Roxas jumped, "Are you insane, Namine? Kazooie looks hurt. We should help her, not...do whatever you were talking about." Xion had been stalled along with the Organization as they stared at L.O.G. "What the hell are you!?" Marluxia wanted to seal the girl's mouth, but fear kept his hands away, "What questions?"
Xenree nodded silently. She beckoned the jaguar toward her and watched it's golden eyes flick from Glen to Xenree again. Xenree wouldn't use her Keyblades on this creature. It pounced and Xenree summoned her Keyblades. Sharp claws met with Dark Void and Last Judgment as she held the large cat off her.
The doctor and Zero watched Zain writhe in his sleep, his nails clawing at his arm and shoulder. "I don't know...the boy seems to be having a nightmare but I can't get him to stop. He won't wake up." Zero firmly grabbed Zain's hand and held it away from his bloody arm, "Zain!" Zain wrest his arm free and continued to claw at it. Zero growled and grabbed his hand again. "Yuki, wake him up. Slap him if that's what it takes."
Callen and Zero followed. They no longer wished to see more of Zain's blood. They sat quietly outside until the doctor came back out and mumbled something to Zero. Zero stood and followed him into Zain's room again. Zain clawed at his crystal arm, the cold feeling was starting to settle all over his body now. "I won't lose like this! Not again! I. Won't. Leave."
Renee's eyes opened and she smiled, "How thoughtful of you Raoxthu." She reached up and trailed her fingers along his cheek, "It would've been nicer if that wicked woman hadn't come here." Roxas wobbled to his feet and ran after Kazooie, "Hey, Kazooie, where'd you go?"
Ryku couldn't stand his brother's silence anymore, "Would you just speak!? Jeez, if I don't die of suspence I'm going to die of old age first! Dammit Demitri..." he slowed and stopped his rush of furious words as he noticed his brother had unbuttoned his shirt and was panting for air. Another silent fit and he was going to start yelling at him during it... Ryku patted his brother's shoulder and pulled out the last needle in his bag and stabbed it into Demitri's chest. "Breath easy this time, brother. Looks like we'll need to scavenge up another few thousand bucks to get you some more medicine." Demitri was thankful his brother wasn't as dense as he seemed. Rubbing his chest, he frowned at Ryku, "Did you have to stab me so hard? I swear, you're going to pierce a lung like that." He gave an awkward brotherly smile to him and retreated into his thoughts about today. He'd been careless with that Runner, Kurisu, and let him get the upper hand in their fight. Next time he saw him, he'd immediately kill him, no questions asked, no waiting...no mercy. Lynne touched her heated cheek, thoughts of Ryku kept fluttering through her head. She couldn't think straight. Did his message mean he wanted to meet her? Or was it a trap? Either way it was risky. She longed to take his message to heart and actually slip through that window of his, but...what would happen then? Her face turned a brighter shade of red as her thoughts ran their course of options. He couldn't want... no that was ridiculous. Or was it? Lynne shook her head to clear it of such thoughts.
The doctor opened his mouth again and Callen started twirling a platinum credit card. His mouth shut and no more questions were asked as he tended to Zain's wound. Zero frowned and snatched his credit card away from Callen, "Stop taking my things." Callen shrugged. Zain drempt of a place of eternal shadows and darkness. There was fog on the ground, making it difficult to see two feet in front of him. Glancing around, he sighed and felt something cold wrap around his shoulder. Reaching a hand up, he touched what felt like raw crystal. He couldn't see it, but he was almost certain it was crystal.
Saphique shrugged, "Oh, man, I hope it wasn't something that's going to hurt Xenree....that wouldn't end well for it and would piss her off." He hurried toward the castle, Omega flung over his shoulder as he ran. Axel almost dropped the charm as it moved. He quickly opened a dark corridor and stepped out back at the Castle that Never Was. Standing over Ashir's bed. "This thing is what you call Parma? It's...a bird? I still don't get it, but whatever. Hey, kid, wake up!" Demyx sighed, his sitar would forever have a dent in it. The rest of the Organization stared curiously at Raoxthu and Renee as they walked away. "What happened to those two, I wonder." "Meh, who cares. THe girl finally discovered how to use her body to get what she wants." Xaldin scowled, "I don't think that's it."
Xenree watched two of the people leave Twilight Town. Her curiosity spiked as she followed them. Xenree dared not use their corridor and instead opened her own. Stepping out onto a tree, she frowned under her hood. Odd place to go to. I wonder what they're looking for? The longer she stood there, the more aware she became of a pair of golden eyes staring at her from beside her in the tree. A beautifully spotted jaguar padded closer to her. It's muscles rippling under that golden fur. Her head turned quickly toward the large cat and jumped down from the tree, landing with an obvious thump behind Xero and Glen. The jaguar followed, a snarl starting to rumble out of it's throat, teeth bared in a feral snarl to complete the picture.
Pushing off her hood, Xenree pulled out her hair and gave them a lazy smile. "Relax, I'm on your side. Whatever side that is, after all, I don't fight for the light." Xenree sighed, waving a hand down her coat to indicate herself, "I'm Xenree." Her silver eyes fixed them with a hard stare.
ooc: my bad, I'm sick so my brain is foggy and I don't think I saw that before you edited it. Just ignore that then. bic: Xenree dropped down from a tree and landed down beside Gexln and Juxe. "Nice to see you boys."
Ash let a fake smile fill his face, "Well, I'm not about to take your suggestion." His eyes drifted closed and he could hear the cheers from the other side of that door. "Ivan...I think we're more than capable of handling ourselves. We're young but maybe this is what we need to make ourself experienced." Ash sighed and pulled Kegan closer to Ivan and the door.
Saix growled at his Superior before Demyx's sitar slammed over his head. Saix tumbled, unconscious, to the floor. Demyx glanced at Hestia, "Enough help or do you want me to also beat him dead?" Larxene and Marluxia laughed. Xemnas picked Mage up in his arms, "She'll be alright." Axel grumbled as they finally ended their search in the Keyblade Graveyard. He noticed Parma's charm hanging off of a Keyblade. Picking it up he sighed in relief, "Now I can go home. FINALLY!" Saphique smiled and opened a dark corridor. He led Gexln to Beast's Castle, where Xenree had taken refuge. They stood just outside the gate. "C'mon, she's around here somewhere." The Beast roared at the sight of Xenree laying on his floor of his castle. "WHO IS THIS WOMAN!" One eye opened under Xenree's hood. "Silence is golden." she commanded and darkness wrapped around the Beast's mouth.
Xenree tapped her fingers against the clock tower. How long had she been standing there? Too long. Xenree curled her fingers into her pocket and sighed.
Ash lifted a finger to silence his partner and listened to Ivan's words. He felt a dull smile creep onto his lips. "I wouldn't know where he's going. I've never been here before." he whispered to Kegan and took her hand, pulling her up beside the other girls where they'd stopped. His white hair stood out among the others. "Actually, we were wondering where you were going. You seem to be making quite an effort to keep this quiet." His pale eyes bore holes into Ivan.
Kisa was thrown near Wyatt. She shivered when she heard something roar. "That doesn't sound good. Zel-" she stopped when she noticed it wasn't Zelos she was near. Standing, Kisa brushed the crumbs of the food off her pants and narrowed her eyes, "Where's Mya?"
Saix roared as the Fake hit Mage. He hadn't seen it before and now it had hurt Mage. His beserker rage covered his judgment as he grabbed it and crushed the tiny thing in his hands. Xemnas quickly summoned his Ethereal Blades and blocked Saix's Lunatic before it could crash down on Mage as he tried to smash what was left of the Fake's body. "Saix, get ahold of yourself." Saphique sighed, "Well, hey, uh, you can come with me for a while if you want. Xenree's probably waiting for me by now. She was playing games with those silly Keyblade wielders of Light." Saph touched a hand to Omega at his side. The Keyblade showed nothing of light and yet the light within Saphique was brightly shining. Xenree coughed as she dropped out of the darkness and into Beast's Castle. The cool rock floors cooled her cheek as she rested on them. This hole would take longer to heal than the others. "Damn them... Stupid...Light..." she passed out from blood loss and the darkness of this world started to heal her. Renee fell asleep against Raoxthu, clearly tired from all the running around and other activities. Everyone else fell to the ground in shock at how hostile and psycho their old friend had become.
