A Life to Lead ^_^

Axel shrugged over this as he kept his emotions in check as he didn't know what she trying to do or in fact knew much about Gex. "How would I know, I didn't keep an eye on him." He noticed she was muttering to herself, but didn't catch the words. He noticed she was biting at her glove and could tell it was a sign of either uncomfortability or nervousness. "It is hard to predict where your loyalities lie Larxene. "Aggressiveness leads to false accausations. By the way, that mullet haired "kid" is not a kid, he is around my age, just one year younger," he replied his arms still folded as if annoyance that she would bring that up. "Like I said he is an distraction and you seem to forget your priorites when you are around him. Keeping him stuck in your room shows suspicion on your part." he muttered though it was loud enough for her to here.

 

Xeol looked at the screen see it said 100% completed he havnt checked on the man earlier like he should have. When the fog wielder touch the disk that held all of the information he heard Cid speak meaning the guy was up. Xeol sighed "grand" he said to himself then he turned around leand against the big computer. "its an nice place here i just came in i only wanted visit good people like you" Xeol said friendly with an innocent smile as fog seeped into the computer while he put the disk in his pocket.

 

Naminé kept following the others to higher ground until she reached them.
All the while, wondering if they were curious about herself,and her whereabouts.
She wondered if they knew she was a nobody,or if she was connected to the organization.
Although she knew Xion and Tifa would clearify everything for them.
Hopefully...
Biting her lip she waited for the others to speak;maybe one of them knew more about her than she thought.
Well,she intended to find out.

 

Xion knelt beside him, helping turn Demyx over. She hoped Namine was okay, with Tifa. Tifa would take care of her. She brushed the hair out of Demyx's face, then sighed. "Axel and Larxene are getting pretty personal.." she murmured.

OOC: They are already on higher ground.

Tifa gently set herself down from Cloud. "I can walk." she smiled at him, then turned to Namine. "Hey, why don't you try something for me. Can you draw a memory of someone else? Or you can answer a few questions."

 

"You act your age, Axel. I think I've actually just realised that for the first time." With a sarcastic look on her face, Larxene smirked, and shook her head. "And if you hadn't send out assassins or whatever to come a spy on the two of us in the first place, there wouldn't be a reason for us to resort to my room for privacy."
Swallowing back a few unneeded words, the Nymph cocked her head to the side and clicked her tongue at a slow beat, similar to that of a dying heart. "You know, you might not realise it, but you actually make me thing about things rather than me just acting on impulse."
With a light hmph Larxene waved her hand in the air and turned 180 degrees to her left - just so that half of her body was visible to Axel, and half to where Demyx was.
...
"...Hey, pregnant one, what's up with the Nocturne?" She asked, her hands now resting lightly on her hips as she raised an eyebrow.
Brilliant. We have pregnant hormonal wreck and a traitor looking after an over-dramatic, teenage-acting guy.

 

Xion froze, her eyes wide. Was Xemnas still around? She didn't know Larxene had known..who had told her? Willing her body to move, she looked up at the Nymph, her eyes scared, but set. "I don't know." she murmured. "If I knew, he wouldn't be like this, would he?"

 

Naminé looked confused.
"Contrary to popular belief,I only create fake memories and restore real ones.
I cannot seek out memories of others that have been created already unless I see them myself."
She turned her back to them.
"But I could try..."

She picked up her notebook and started drawing in it slowly,then paused and added;
"What do you have to ask me?"

 

Tifa gave the girl space, but smiled a little. "Do you remember Sora, Riku, or Kairi?" The answer would change how Tifa could go about this past finding, or what she could even do. It might also tell who might be after the girl.

 

(OOC: Man it's been a while since I replied. Sorry. Been busy as you all know. ^_^)

Cloud heard Tifa, which made him think twice about picking her up again. He was only trying to protect nothing more then that. Watching the others, he noticed out of the corner of his eye, Namine beginning to doodle something on her sketchbook. He was not interested as she was young and simply drawing what Tifa requested. What his mind was on was, the thunderous sound that he could hear a few miles away approaching fast like a dam had been blow up and was expelling the contents from what it held.

Demyx's body lay on the side as Xion and Roxas had atttempted to help him, but he was unaware of this from being unconscience. The brutal pain from Xemnas not to mention the traumatic experience was enough to make his body shut down completly. In his mind, he didn't feel like waking up, what purpose was there to come out from the darkness where his mind resided. He was at peace right now, no one threatening him or causing him any pain, no immediate danger for his life, and no pressure. It was enteral bliss of nothingness. At that moment, the nerves that were carrying signals to his brain told him to wake up and function once more. There was a purpose he had to come out of his state of being unconscience. No, there were many reasons he had to come back. Xion needed him with assistance with her baby, he was to start his new career and earn munny to help support Xion, Roxas and their baby, he needed to be there for Larxene like he had promised to protect and watch over her, when the time was right he needed to speak to Axel about why he called him a traitor, he needed to speak to his friend Cloud again, his dancers needed their leige and the last thing was to help clear his name before Xemnas. With the will power he had left, he opened his eyes slightly, cringing at the pain that immeditely came afterwards. Starring at Xion and Roxas at his side, his breath was shallow and he spotted Larxene in the same proxmity clearly annoyed with the expression of her body and Axel who looked upset as well. Groaning, he turned his head to the side and tried to get up using his elbow to lift him up to where he was now supporting his upper body with only his arms as his legs were curled to the side.

 

Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo stood silently hand in hand. The air seemed to swirl in a spiraling fashion around them, spreading whatever foul mist that had harbored there creation.

"Brother..." the words seemed to come from Loz, but where had the words come from for him. They were there only connections to this world. Once they completed the task and revived Mother, all would be good. They say father knows best, but to those the three knew the truth in which they lived there existances by: Mother knows best. They did not live, they existed. They all knew they were just pawns for the great scheme in which all wrongs shall be corrected, and relished instead of despised in it.

Only one thing troubled Kadaj, who was the white hared man? Why did he see him? Did he serve Mother better? Inside he fealt like crying, but he most go on. For his Mother. They would be good boys, follow her orders and make sure they were carried out like soldiers.

Yazoo seemed to sense this in his brother, and he too fealt similar pain. "Remember, Kadaj. No matter what the cost, once Mother gets here everything will be okay. Perfect. The paradise the fools here have been squandering over ever since they knew how to tell time."

Loz smiled, and looked off in the distance, the future looked bright for Mother. When things were good for Mother, they were good for all.

Kadaj answerd, his resolotion renewed. "We will be good sons. Right?"

They all gave out a hearty, "Yeah!" like people welcoming a new member to there drunken theatre.

Kadaj continued, once silence had crept over the echoes. "Let us pay a visit to our other brother. He has been a bad son, and Mother didn't even disown him. We must punish those that do not love and help Mother. Mother knows best and those that do not follow her are fools. Fools shall not be allowed int he paradise we are making for her to rule over."

This was greeted by another "Yeah!" and the cranking up of motorcycles. It was time to visit some family member that needed to be taught a lesson : Respect the family.

Loz grinned at this, he loved to play. If it helped Mother, all the better. Who knew? Mother might let him play soem more. When she came, Mother would know what to do. She always knows.

Yazoo steadied his mind. In oder to serve her to the best he would need to do his best. She was so hard to please, though...They would try, even after that. Perhaps partly because of it.

 

Larxene flashed Xion a cheeky grin, and placed her hand just so it hovered over her mouth in a sarcastic fashion. “Oh, did I just say that?†She giggled, placing her free hand on her hip. “Woops.â€
With a cocky half-smile on her face, she strolled over to where Demyx was on the floor. She heard him make a noise, so she knew he was still alive.
With a pitifully filthy look being flashed towards ‘the pregnant one’, Larxene stopped at Demyx’s feet. She looked down at Demyx with a hard stare, deciphering in her mind what route to take in this situation. She had to admit, everything that had happened was a head-rush, and a shock to the system, but hey. Amateur dramatics were not appreciated one bit at this moment in time.
“Hey. Demyx.†Larxene spoke in a monotonic voice. “...Get up, unless you want the boss on your back again.â€
She glanced down at Roxas, a putrid glare erupting from her crystal-glazed eyes. “And I suggest you make your presence non-existent here. It is not smart of you to betray us, and it is even stupider to be around here right now. You will be punished, and be glad that your punishment is not occurring now. Now get out of here.†The Nymph turned back towards the Nocturne, and kept that same look upon her features.
Things really needed to be sorted out.

 

(OOC: The Joker characters were accepted ahead of time.)

Demyx starred up at the savage nymph who was in her own strange way showing concern for him, if you could call it that. Exhaling deeply, he staggered to get to his feet, the weight of his stiff body and tail of the leather cloak weighing him down. "Geez I just woke up from being unconscience. Give me a break already," Demyx uttered in an annoyed tone. Once he was on his feet, he felt like a fawn wobbling to get his bearings. "I'm doing this all for you just like you asked me to so bare with me here. There is only so much I can do." He adjusted his cloak to his satisfaction bringing his shoulders in and stretching them back out to get out any of the kinks in them. Snapping his neck to both sides, the crackling of bones could be heard as he shook his head once more. Bringing his right foot forward he stretched it, realizing his boot was scuffed along with the other one. When he got the time to relax he would have to clean them with leather conditioner. "Aw man that hurt. I feel like something crushed me." He cringed when after stretching for he was still in pain. "What did I do to deserve such harsh treatment? Oh the burden of being a slave to the master," he joked smiling a bit to show he was trying to bring some sense of humor in this serious matter.

Cloud awaited his postion where Tifa, Leon and him were at not knowing that Xigbar and Luxord would soon be coming for him as well as another flash from his past upon motorcylces. With his sword at his side, he held onto the hilt of it observing the other people below scurry in different directions. The crisp sound of Namine sketching was heard as it continued along with a breeze that was picking up. Observing the east, his eyes widened when he saw a blue and white substance coming down the hillside. A sense of fear was etched in his features knowing he could not stop what was going to happen.

Xigbar had waved his finger at Luxord with the game they played. "How do I know you didn't rig your cards?" He jumped up onto another ledge that was beside them and hung upside down. His evil grin broadened when he heard and saw the wave picking up speed. "Ha ha now Cloud and Leon will have no choice but to show themselves or drown."

 

Leon sighed as he then shielded his eyes and then saw a rush of whitish blue water coming right for them. "Damn it, we need to find a a way around this tidal wave or else it might split in several directions." Water was unpredictible. Even though he was curious of what Namine was writing in her sketech book he was more worried about his life and his friends.



Roxas frowned at Larxene or only stuck his middle finger out at her. "Touche." He admitted knowing that the savage nymph shouldn't be talking about betrayal since she was the one who had done some suspicious things as well. "You leave Xion alone or I will not hesitate to kill you." He answered.


Axel looked at Roxas and for some time he would ignore him since he wasn't going to be confrontational with him. They were best friends, but not even Axel would betray the organization because of it. If anything he would only play it safe as of now and hopefully Roxas would get the hint. "Larxene, I only follow orders, but my assassins were only standing by. They are doing that as we speak in Hallow Bastion," He walked over towards Demyx and shook his head at him. "You should go back to Hallow Bastion unless you want your friends to drown," His emerald orbs seem to narrow a bit, but the hint of mischievous in them had left. After things were sort out he would go back to Hallow Bastion himself and find out more about the silvered haired stranger.

 

Xion took Roxas' hand, her blue eyes confused and concerned. "But...Axel..." she bit her lip, holding his hand tighter as she looked down. Maybe he hadn't been friends with them after all. She sighed, then looked at Demyx.

 

"Well,sorta.I remember the names..Just not the faces"
She closed her eyes and bit on her pen.

She started doodling and such,then stopped suddenly,and flipped the page to another past drawing. Naminé studied it,ripped it out and handed it to Tifa.

"This one is Sora."

She ripped another one out,and smiled.
"Riku."

And then flipped through another time,there was a girl standing by the shore in her drawing.
She was wearing a school uniform and was looking into the sky.
She touched the page and then carefully ripped it out.

"Kairi"

 

Larxene snarled slightly, grabbing the finger that Roxas had stuck up in her face, and bent it backwards until a few minor cracks could be felt shuddering through the joint. By the fractured finger, the Nymph yanked Roxas closer and gripped him tightly by the throat.
“I could make you fade right here, right now, and that happening would not take up an ounce of my rarely used conscience.†She hissed. “And no, I’m not going to harm your little pregnant girlfriend. I could do a lot worse, but I am not going to, as the little thing growing in her stomach, or whatever, repulses me. I am not going to delve myself into deeper shit than I have already by interacting with what might be suicide in a nobody form.†Taking a moment to inhale and exhale, being careful not to over expand her diaphragm and cause any additional pain to her fractured ribs. She loosened her grip on his neck, and lowered her voice to a muttering tone. “Now... go. I suggest both of you do. I don’t want Xemnas to destroy you both.†After a quick moment of silence to let what she said sink in, Larxene let go and dashed a few meters back.
She glanced towards Axel, blinking several times before speaking. “...I’ll be one moment.†Quickly she opened a portal, vanishing from sight completely.

Appearing in the medical bay, Larxene glared straight forward at Gexlion and the state he was in, awaiting for him to catch his breath so that he could speak.

 

Turning around, Gex saw Larxene, the Nymph. He couldn't understand why she was here. Wasn't demyx back at the altar? This didn't make sense, not a drop at all.

Turning back around, he collected a few potions and stuffed them under his cloak. What ever she wanted, it was none of his business.

"Greetings larxene." he said to her.

"What do you require?"

 

"...To know why the hell you just did that." Larxene demanded, shaking her head as she rubbed her temples. "...So answer me Gexlion, why did you save me like that?" She watched his fumbling about with various potions, and shook her head again. She was tired now, so tired. But she couldn't let anyone know; that wasn't Larxene at all. She was the type to keep it to herself, despite how much her head pounded like a frightened heartbeat, despite how much her eyes screamed from the stinging, and her joints ached with any slight movement made.
She needed to stop running around after people now. It was taking it's toll on her health.

 

Cid frowned as he watched how innocent Xeol was acting. "I am not buying that. Also give me back whatever you stolen from me, before I call for security." he began to type a message on a screen to send to the Turks.

Leon stopped and then noticed that Namine was drawing pictures of Sora, Kairi and Riku. Suspicion was worn in his mind now, but he was approach her carefully. Could she know something that they don't know. "So do you know anything about them? Or are you just fan girl." He asked.



Roxas hissed back in pain as he pulled his finger back from Larxene and wanted to beat the living crap out of her, but she had portalled herself away. "That damn bitch!" If she came back he wasn't going to let her get away with it. They key blade in her mid section and knock across the head would do nicely for his sanity. Xion was the one he was going to protect and this just wasn't his day. He noticed that Axel seemed to noticed that as well and obsereved the flurries eye's raise to a different level of anger. So right there he knew that Axel still cared for him. So he figured he was playing a fascade for now. "Why would she care if I lived or die?" He asked Axel.

Doing his best to remain neutral the flurry just shrugged his shoulders as he wondered if Demyx was going to get his ass down to save the citizens in Hallow Bastion. In the back of mind he wanted Reno to be okay. The flurry had noticed that Larxene had left and he already had a feeling, where she went but wasn't going to say anything about it. "Roxas, you need to get out of here. You and Xion before you get killed," He replied as he even opened a portal up for them to leave by. He caught Roxas just starring at him in a dead pan like glance, but only stayed where he was at. "Please don't make this harder for me. You are my best friend and I don't want you and Xion to get killed. Why did you even come back? You are torturing me...." He thought.

 

Tifa studied them, then smiled a little. "Good.....do you remember anyone from the Organization? Anyone at all other then these two? Before you met Xion. If you can, draw them."

Xion took Roxas' hand, and gently pulled him backwards. "Please.." she whispered. "He doesn't need to care about me, or you, or the baby. Let's just go."
