Renee nodded and grabbed hold of him tightly. Xemnas finally noticed Xenree's transformation and patted her head, "And so the rose show's her thorns. Such beauty Xenree. But such a thing is expected of the Nobody of the Eighth Princess of Heart." Xenree's darkness whirled around her like a black tornado, "Leave this place!" she snarled in her oddly sounding voice, "And stay away from my Master. I don't care what he's done to you. He'd never hurt me!" She twirled her Keyblades and dragged them across the floor as she ran at them. Roxas swallowed his fear, she was the one thing any Nobody would be afraid of. Choosing to protect his friends, he clashed with her, "I may be deathly afraid of you, but I won't let you hurt anyone!"
Renee covered her mouth, "Fighting...Xenree? N-no, that...they can't! If she dies, I die! That's one thing Zexion told me that was truth! Please, Raoxthu, you have to stop them." Xenree gritted her teeth, "What...did you just call me?" Her own personal darkness ripped from her back in a mass of blood and formed into a large pair of bat wings, complete with claw. Her voice distorted, "Don't you ever call me a little girl again!" Xemnas kicked Mage back to her corner, "Ah, Hestia. It has been a long time, yes. I see you're...just as dead as I left you. Surely you don't mean that. Remember all the good times he had?" Xemnas turned his attention to Xone, holding him in the air, he examined him, "I wonder...what's so special about you. Why do you get to be a Nobody and keep your heart close to you." Xone choked, unable to speak anymore. He expected everyone to leave, run, do something other than stand there and fight him. Axel gripped his chakrams tighter, "Let them go, Xemnas. Xenree this isn't your fight. Xemnas want's nothing to do with you."
Xemnas watched everyone carefully, maintaining his hold on Xone, "You're all here...to save a halfling? How intreging." Xone wildly looked at everyone, clawing at Xemnas' deathly grip, "G-get...out! P-p-please..." he managed to choke out breathlessly. Xenree stepped in front of Xemnas, Dark Void and her other Dark Keyblade in hand. Her silver eyes focused on Sora and his group, "To get to him, you'll have to go through me." Renee smiled, "Roxas, yes. Is he here too? Where is he? And everyone else, are they alright?" Roxas summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion and Xion summoned Two become One. Axel kept his focus despite Hestia. He spoke to her in his head, "Hestia, I know how to use my chakrams, you let me do the fightinga and when they're distracted, I'll let you get Xone and Mage out of here."
Hey everyone, just got back from watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.
Orphan watched her walk away, the poor girl had no idea how horrible Zain would become. He returned to Zain to find them escaped from their room and running through the woods. "Zain, are you...?" Zain snarled inhumanly. Still he carried his lance as though it were for protection instead of slaughter. The rest of Zain's day was a black nightmare. He woke two hours later with the images of four individual women being ripped apart by himself. He shrank down in his bed, his fangs were almost gone. They slightly poked out from under his lip and his eyes still had faint red streaks. He didn't feel the need to kill anymore but he was sure it would come back. He wasn't even hungry. Slumping in front of his mirror, he stared at himself and waited for Yuki to return from breakfast.
Zain held perfectly still. His eyes wide with fear and his other senses straining for Yuki. The shadow part of him wanted to rip her limb from limb. He barely stiffled a scream and it came out a strangled sound. Orphan slithered under the door, which seemed impossible by his size and sadly looked up at Yuki, "I wouldn't go in there if I were you. He'ssss in bad shape right now. Give him time, Yuki."
Zane fretted about the future battles. Zee would prioritize Sasha now. It was better for him, but it could get him killed. Zee soundly slept, keeping Sasha close to him.
Zain could smell Sakuya as she entered the house and Yuki. He fought with himself not to get up. Orphan hesitantly hissed quietly, "Should I get Yuki?" He fought the urge to get up harder, "N-no. This is my fight." His body involuntarily sat up and he shivered, If it's my fight, then why am I losing? he thought. His fangs dripped saliva, N-no! I won't become one of them! Gripping the matress he lay back down and labored his breathing, praying no one would bother him until he could get himself under control.
Xemnas sighed and lifted his hand toward the intruders. A barrier of dark and light formed and blocked them. In blocking them he let go of Xone's heart, it clattered to the ground and Xone felt a sharp pain in him. His eyes went wide and he stopped moving. Renee blushed, "Ah, d-don't say things like that. You'll make me embarrassed!" She covered her face with her hands. Xenree felt something was wrong with her Master. Warping from watching Raoxthu and Renee to the basement she saw everyone and Xone at his weakest. Her silver eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing. Axel nodded and summoned his chakrams, hurrying down the stairs with Roxas, Xion and the King on his tail.
Xemnas waved off her spell, "Aren't you a little too young to be challenging someone older than you?" Xone snarled, "Aren't you a little too old to be picking on children!?" Xemnas laughed at his words and pulled out his heart from his pocket, "This is what you're so upset about isn't it?" he shook the little heart in the jar. Renee sighed, "Back to normal? That whole time there was like one long dream. The nightmare part was Xemnas kissing me, yuck!" She wiped her mouth on her sleeve of her new green and black dress, "Huh, when did I get new clothes?"
Xenree kept her cold composure, "Aren't you a little old for acting so childishly?" Her white hair fell over her shoulder and she impatiently brushed it back. She took cautious steps toward them, "Acting as if you can actually be nervous or happy. It's pathetic really. You all-" her words cut off as she recognized the same annoying boots behind her, "Not again." she growled. Xigbar found her and practically skipped to her side, "Hey, I've been looking for you. For such a slight girl you move pretty quickly." He moved to drape an arm around her shoulders and suddenly found Xenree's dark blades at his throat and major organs. "Hey now, no need for violence." She ignored him and snarled, "I don't have time for your petty crushes. Why don't you all start acting like Nobodies instead of lovesick puppies!"
Renee started to giggle, "You should see your face Raoxthu. It's like you almost believe that I could forget you. Do you really think I could forget someone who's saved my life before?" Her fits of laughter stopped and she wrapped her arms around his neck, I'm sorry I forgot you." Xenree watched from above and smiled gently at them. Renee was happy. Xenree wouldn't mind taking pure hearts if only her Somebody was happy. Xone opened his gray eyes and smiled at Mage, "D-don't worry about me, Mage. I've suffered worse." Xemnas frowned, "Perhaps you haven't suffered enough." Malice cut deeper into his skin. Axel, Roxas, Xion and the King walked with them downward through several strange rooms.
Renee opened her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Hello, who are you?" Xemnas ignored Mage's hissing and summoned Malice, lightly touching it to Xone's face making him hiss in pain and grit his teeth. Axel rolled his eyes, "Yeah well, we have to head down this time. That's where Xemnas is keeping Mage and Xone."
He was mumbling it as he left, kinda to himself.
Zane shuddered and got himself ready. Zee wished they could stay this happy forever. He pulled her to him, thankful that she didn't ask what he was thinking and readied himself. *skip*
Xigbar frowned and stood straight again, "None of my buisness, huh? I'll bet." He turned on his heel and chased after Xenree. "I never liked that creepy flower guy anyway. What could he have said to Xenree?" Xenree walked and read her book. The feel of moving when the characters moved made it all the more fasinating. She walked until she noticed a few people in front of her. Two of them were wolves one second and people the next? She stopped and watched them, "How fasinating." Closing her book with a rather loud thump she tucked it away in her pocket and continued to watch.
Xigbar grinned and looked around Marluxia's room, "Meh, I've been better. Xenree, I didn't know you liked to read." Xenree, having kept her finger in the book as a page marker, lifted the book, "Maybe you would've learned it if you weren't being such a leacherous old fool." she growled and bowed to Marluxia, "Thank you for letting me stay here for a moment of silence." She walked past Xigbar into the hallway and headed toward her room. Xigbar laughed and twirled his ponytail, "She sure is fiesty. Alright, Petals, spill. She say anything while she was here?" He slammed his palms down on Marluxia's desk, disrupting several books.
Zane pulled her ear through his teeth and whispered to her, "You realize how dangerous it is to have three otherwisely good assassins always preoccupied? If Zee's not alert all the time and instead dazed with his new interest, someone could just lob my head off when I'm not looking." Zee blinked and shook his head. Pulling Sasha's face close to his, he kissed her again
Xenree was well into the book, having forgotten Xigbar was probably lurking around somewhere. She heard footsteps down the hall and pulled herself from the book. She slipped her flats back on and stood, waiting for the source of those boots to either enter or pass by. Xigbar didn't bother to knock, he couldn't hear anything from the otherside of Marluxia's door. Since he couldn't find Xenree, he figured bothering Marluxia would be second best to annoying her. Flinging the door open his grin half fell at the sight of Xenree's red eyes glaring at him, she held a book and rather looked like she was ready to fling it at him. "Well hello again. I see you've chosen to grace Marluxia with your cold presence, Xenree. How unfortunate for me. I just came to bug Petals here." He jerked his thumb at Marluxia, keeping his eye fastened on Xenree. "How've ya been Petal boy?"
Zane pulled her hands and put them on his back. Zee pulled away and trailed his fingers along her, lost in a sudden thought.
