Nicholi nodded and headed for the door, "I'll be right back with someone of my own."
Xenree looked up at Kenneth. She didn't belive he knew the new her and she wasn't about to tell him. "Help...me..." she weakly lifted a hand out to him and passed out. Akii and Zexion rounded the final corner just as Aqua and Terra and X did. Akii hurried to get there before they would.
Nicholi gave him a curious look, "We'll never actually get anywhere like this if we don't have a live test subject. I believe that would aid our research."
Nicholi bid farewell to Zain, Yuki and his family. He tiredly leafed through Toji's notes. "Shame we don't have a degree in neurology." Nicholi considered his sources to find a test subject.
Xenree stood, wobbling, her vision blurred and was covered with blue spots. Her hand slipped on the door and she fell into the room with Kenneth. A scream bubbled from her lips as the pain spiked through her arm. Akii was off, running like a bullet toward the scream. Zexion followed slightly slower. Aqua and Terra altered their course toward the scream and even X took off toward the sound.
Zain glanced up at him, "Damn, do you just listen for mentioning of you?" Nicholi lowered his eyes and nodded. He motioned to the door, "I think contaminating research like this here wouldn't be wise. Perhaps at your home?"
Zane growled deep in his throat, sealing her lips with his and got himself ready. *skip* Early morning, Zane could hear the tell tale sounds of Zee rumaging around in the room. Cracking open an eye, he sleepily glared at Zee, going through his clothes. "Can I ask what you're doing?" He murmured, pulling the covers up to Mya's chin. Zee froze, "Um...I swear I'll be gone in a second." "What are you looking for?" "N-nothing..." He slid out of Zane's room and softly closed the door behind him.
Zain stood with Nicholi for hours. "We should go back. Are you calmer now?" Nicholi nodded, "I...I will help Toji with his experiment. For Ari. I will teach her not to be foolish. And I will perfect my mother." They returned home and Nicholi repeated his words to Yuki.
Akii kept her glare firmly in place. "Yes...I know all about L.O.G. I'm not a fan. He doesn't belong in this world." Zexion placed a hand on her shoulder, "Forgive Akii, Alphonse. She's a little mad that everyone has seen her mother and she has yet to have seen her." Akii's concentration broke as she felt a familiar connection burst into the ship. "Momma..." Xenree broke through the barrier of X's and threw herself down to the floor outside of Lexi and Kenneth's door. Pain radiated through her arms and she knew healing from light entering her body would take time. Time she did not have.
Ash tapped one finger against her lip and thought, "Logic would say that fewer people would try to get through one covered by a forest. Let's head there, if there truely is fewer idiots trying to work their way through it." Ash refrained from a cold smile. Remembering their names would prove a challenging task. ooc: ready for a time skip
Ash ignored her earlier question seeing her attention diverted to the girls. "Hmm, seeing as they're following someone themselves...I suppose it would prove eventful if we followed them." Ash didn't know how to put it really. His interest in anything was fleeting and all together not there. The idea of following someone wasn't on his list of...what was that word?...enjoyments, but if Kegan wanted to... Ash nodded, his white hair falling into his eyes. Impatiently brushing it back, he slid his pale eyes from her to the others, I must be getting paranoid...and foolish with this damn thing. Shoving the paper back into his pocket, he finally addressed her first question, "It's nothing..." brushing past her to follow the others, Ash could't have said if his tone was cold or simply monotone. Perhaps a bit of both.
Kisa bravely met Zelos' eyes and nodded, "Yeah, let's just get this over with." Zelos had been overly friendly toward her today and she knew it would come back to bite her tomorrow. Being too close to her kind was stressful. Her energy was fleeting, but she managed to snatch a broom from the wall and hurried away from Zelos. Picking up what was too big to sweep into a small pile, she noticed the scorch marks on the floor from her lightning. Clutz she thought and slid to her knees beside them and wiped them up. Kisa's mind replayed her last coherent conversation with her mother. "Kisa, dearest. When I'm gone--" "Mom..." "No Kisa. Listen, when I'm gone, all this...the royalty duties will fall to you. Make them listen to you. No one follows someone who's shy and doesn't respect themself. Respect yourself and they'll respect you. Don't rise to their baiting. Read everything and never sign anything if you don't understand. It's easier for you to have Lucien help you and make them explain their motives since you are small, but they will try to overpower you. Especially the other families. May your future husband be..." she would never finish that sentence and Kisa wouldn't know what to look for in a suitor.
He lifted himself up, "If you're asking to decide whether or not to go to Heaven or Hell, I choose Hell. I deserve Hell. But that's not the question is it? How about you tell me who you are and I shall give you my name." Tanya barked a laugh. This shadow guy was certainly cheeky. She didn't want to get in the way and padded along, following the decending stairs.
Saphique shivered in his shoes without Xenree beside him. These guys looked pissed and he was the only one around. "Crap..." X waited for a dark corridor to open, but found none. "Aqua, go and look for Xenree in the ship. I will remain here." Aqua nodded and ran off, Terra on her heels. Akii and Zexion left to do the same. Akii longed to see her mother again, even if she was evil now. Akii and Zexion stopped, seeing Alphonse in the halls. "Who are you?" "Akira, that's not a very pleasant greeting." She shrugged of Zexion's words, glaring her silver eyes at Alphonse.
Lynne blushed a bright red, she knew what it meant but not what he meant by telling her that. "Oh, uh...th-thanks. I'll, uh, keep that in mind." She lost herself in her thoughts before she could hear the other comments. Ryku smiled as he watched Hanna depart and Lynne blush. She was pretty when she blushed and Hanna wasn't too bad herself. Though he'd get a licking from his brother for socializing anyway. Turning on his heel, Ryku meandered slowly off the roof and toward a black tinted car waiting for him. Demitri already inside, ready to take them back. Demitri didn't need to say a thing. By his scorching glare, Ryku knew his brother was pissed and would remain that way for a few days.
Xenree growled, seeing the Heartless drawing closer to her friends. "Orias!" Dark Void formed from the darkness into her hand and she sliced through three Heartless in a mad dash to protect her friend. Panting, she closed her eyes, unwilling to let the darkness control her.
Zane trailed his kisses down her collar bone and decorated the side of her neck with the imprint of his lips.
Zain caught up to Nicholi and walked with him. Stopping at a graveyard. "You really think Ari and yourself are better off without hearts?" "With all my being I do. Zain...you of all people should know what I mean. Your heart originally took you away from Yuki. Don't you think she was sad when you died? Would you wish that same pain on Ari and myself when someone dies?" Zain couldn't answer.
Xenree sat up, rubbing her head, the next time she saw Alphonse, she'd kill him for interferring like that. Saphique helped her up and held Omega out to the Creator and Higher Powers, "You chums leave Xenree alone!" "Enough Saphique... Mage..." she weakly held her hand out to Mage, "Please, Mage..." Saix wanted to keep Mage by his side, "Shut up!" Realizing her ploy wasn't fooling Saix, Xenree curled her hand into a fist and stood, "Saphique!" Saph nodded and summoned a dark corridor for her. Bowing low to them, Xenree backed into the darkness, "Well played, Creator, Higher Powers. I'll see you later, Mage." Akii and Zexion hovered around X like lost puppies. X flitted around the area, his gloved hands anxiously closing and opening. "If any of you wish to leave, you may. Xenree should be here in a matter of minutes." Aqua glanced around with Terra by her side. "I wish she'd hurry it up." ooc: at least it's not ten pages where I could've done something. Although that was weird to read. Not feeling so great today or yesterday, probably tomorrow too, so sorry for not posting sooner.
Tanya wandered down the dark stairs. Where does this lead now. The Realm of Inbetween and Decisions...This can't be a good place. How did I get here? Why do I look like this? Who is she? Her questions stopped as she spotted someone else lying on the ground, "Hey, are you okay?" He heard a voice. It rasped slightly, trying to speak and turned his head or what felt like his head toward the sound. A red and black wolf stood near him, and slightly over him. I'm dead, I must be dead.
