A Life to Lead ^_^

She looked upwardly at Leon's face,seeing she was shorter.
"I've just heard that he has killed many people,and that I would be no exception."

She turned to Roxas and grimaced.
Naminé looked Xion for the answer to the question;How am I suppose to tell him that I've been sneaking around his home?
Once Xion answered,Naminé looked into Roxas' eyes.
"Now I'm learning more about who I am."

 

Tifa's hand jumped back, she watched Cloud warily. "Cloud?...." Her head pounding slightly, she looked helplessly at Leon, trying to decide what to do. Not only that, but she had left Rude...was he okay? He had been so sweet...

OOC; I have no idea what to do with Xion right now.

 

The amount of ass kissing being done here was rather amusing, but at the same time, very low – even for the water wielder. Heck, it seemed that Xemnas was sorta enjoying it. How stupid, did he not see how false the Nocturne was being? Or was every guy here blinded by his own ego?
The Nymph shook her head in a slight irritation, dismissing her rant and proceeding forward from the altar steps and into Demyx’s line of sight.
She mouthed the words she wanted to shout, so that The Nocturne might actually get the message and leave the superior’s butt for Saix to kiss.
Stop...kissing...the superior’s...ass...come...on...let’s...go... She mouthed, jerking her thumb over her right shoulder with a slightly irritated look on her face.

She wanted to get this mission over with; yes, it would cause slight pain. But what’s glory without working for it? Of course it would be difficult to kill the red-head, but something about the slicing-up of his torso and extracting that strong heart made the task much more appealing.

 

A few moments after Xigbar finished speaking Luxord appeard walking out of an void. The Gambler of Fate stood beside the one eyed nobody he looked at cloud with an grin. "ah cloud like my fellow companion stated number 9 is not here" Luxord said to cloude. After an few moments he started to speak again "an heart is such an fragile piece of treasure it can turn cold by the flow of time or unfortionatly hidden hate and despair always sneaks its way in" The Gambler said with an smirk on his face. "so mortal would your heart realy would truelly care about those unfortionate souls or has your heart became cold as ice" Luxord let what he said sink in for a few moments "i believe so" he said to cloud coldly.

 

Cloud could tell meeting with Xigbar and Luxord in this kind of situation was not going to be easy. How would he explain everything to Tifa and the others just standing there on the sidelines? Luxord had put his inner thoughts to rest as it seemed he had to choose. What was the right thing to do, risk sacrificing his life to save others he didn't know and get caught in the wave and drown himself or do nothing and let everyone else fend for themselves. The ugly truth was when it came down to it, every man for himself was the reality of the situation and he could not turn his back from that. "I do what I can, but I can not save everyone as that is impossible for anyone." He answered both of them. "Judge me how you wish, I don't care what others think of me anymore. It's only a waste of my effort." He locked eyes with the both of the nobodies. "Why have you come?"

"Oh you know why don't you or do I have to refresh your memory?" He glanced at the others and spotted Namine. "Well now haven't seen you in a long time. You've been a naughty little witch escaping from the castle like that?" He grinned cruely at her.

Demyx shook his head knowing he couldn't just leave without the boss's response. That would be very rude of him . "I thought you wanted to speak to the boss which is why you came to the Altar of Naught. You didn't just come to shoot the breeze with me did ya?" He grinned, his eyes sparkling with interest and curiousity. "I want Axel and anyone else from the organization to come with us including the boss so we can take on all of these Turks without a problem. The Superior and Saix said that we are so close to getting our goal so why not have all of us come to the world. We don't all have to be together at first, but at least we will all be in the same area able to help out the other if the other is in trouble."

 

Naminé looked at him;fear and extreme anger in her eyes.

"I'm not a witch!"
She growled at him.
The others backed away,as if shocked at her anger towards him.
The had never seen this side of her before,and bets are on that they weren't planning to.
"Don't you ever,call me a witch again!"
She started to breathe heavily,and was getting hot.

Then she regretted the words,hoping that the others would protect her, against his reaction to her.
She fell on her knees and took notice to her own self pity,not caring if the others were watching.

Then she tilted her head up to meet his eyes.
"What do you even...Want with me?"

 

Leon cocked his eyebrow in nervousness when he saw Xigbar and then could see Luxord pressuring Cloud. These nobodies sure as hell loved to try to intimidate them. With the word's being spewed out of Xigbar's mouth he noticed that he had known Namine and he was curious of what was going to happen next. The warrior had faced Xigbar before, because he was with Axel when they mocked him over his security. Now, this guy was back. "Can someone tell me what is going on?"

Roxas narrowed his eyes at Xigbar though not suprised at all to see him and then Luxord in the other direction. Maybe they weren't sent to capture them. "Leave us alone, Xigbar and leave Namine alone as well." His glare harden as he was ready to fight him if he didn't step down.

Axel was not confused with the silent treatment that Xenmas was giving him, but in a way he was glad that Demyx was seeing a little bit in his view. His eyes searched on Larxene and rolled his eyes as she once again took notice to Demyx and not him. He would do what it took to keep those two separated if it continued. The flirty thing was getting annoying to him now, Demyx was acting in that way now and he would put a stop to it. "Typical...though your plan seems good." He mouthed coldly. " I am not letting you go anywhere with him. You want to prove yourself then stay here with Gex unless you can promise that you won't do anything stupid to compromise the situation on the mission." He said to Larxene.

"Watch your tongue. Remember you are on suspicion right now. So be respectful or I will have no problem ridding of your existance entirely." Saix snarled at Larxene as he waved his claymore at her head and it looked like he was going to strike her, but he held off on it. Now who was the one who was kissing ass. By her attitude he saw that she was doing this in front of Demyx. "Demyx the boss is not going to abandon the castle. We need to stay guard, just in case things happen."

 

OC: I feel like I missed a lot.

BIC: Tifa watched, her warm eyes suddenly cold, and angry. Just as well, she didn't want to think of her own emotions now. Pushing them away, she stepped to stand by Leon, his face the same mask of confusion hers had been. She slowly pulled on her gloves, then stopped, shocked. The hot feeling that filled her was betrayal, something she hadn't felt in a while. Why? Why him?

Xion shook her head, dazed, then knelt beside Namine, wrapping an arm around the girl's shoulders. The touch jolted her, slightly, then she looked up at the man, her eyes narrowed. "I can make you hurt." she murmured, child like, but with a certain threat to it. She blocked his thoughts, she didn't need the distraction now. Namine was her friend, albeit a new one. She would keep her safe.

 

She looked to the others,with a frozen stare.
"Thank you Xion." She almost whispered to her.
Her voice was cracked and her body felt numb,like ice.

She stared into Tifa's eyes and made a frown.
She felt a cool breeze on her back,and hugged herself to keep warm.
She the mouthed the words I'm Sorry to her.

Then thinking over the situation;she suddenly realized how Xion went against the organization to protect her.
That means a great deal.
Friendship?
A tear of joy almost fell down her cheeks,as she smiled up at Xion.
She hoped that she knew how much this ment to her.

 

Xion glanced down at the girl, and made sure the man couldn't read her lips. "You are my friend." She smiled. "We have a lot to do when we get some free times. Like shopping. I've heard it's fun." She rolled her eyes, then whispered. "Tifa's hurt because of Cloud's secret. She likes you. She thinks you're a lot like her as a kid."

 

Naminé smiled.
"I've heard much so also,let's hope this is over soon."
Although saying such,she knew it wouldn't be.
There were way too many odds against them.
"Like her as a kid,you say?"
She tapped her finger on her notebook.
"That's sweet,and nice."
She never understood or related to anyone this much before,it was actually exciting.
Although nervous and stressed,Naminé expressed a happy emotion for Xion's sake.
For the friendship,that saved her life in more than one way.

 

Xigbar loomed over both of the two young girls and young boy now and had no problem taking them on what so ever, but it would prove to be a waste of his time. "Oh boy you really have a good set of lungs there.And you really don't know why you mean so much to the organization? As if!" He directed his question to Namine. "And you two, he pointed to Xion and Roxas, "you're both organization material and you know what that means. Anyone who leaves the organization is against the organization and will be dealt with accordindly, but you should thank your luckly stars kiddos. I haven't come for any of you except for him mostly," he made his gunblade appear and pointed it at Cloud. "Are you going to come with me or do I have to use force?" He asked Cloud, the weapons ready to fire any moment.

Cloud didn't flinch as he was caught up in his own inner turmoil, as if his mind was else where. He did hear what Xigbar had said, but thought of what he would say and how to answer Tifa and Leon. "None of you understand and I wouldn't expect you not to for how could you relate knowing the truth about what I really am? Tifa, Aerith's death has cost me for then you'll ever care to know. Leon, you know what he is referring to. Don't pretend like you don't. You and I agreed to this. It's time to stop lying and just face what we have done. If they say they are our true friends then they wouldn't judge us and have to accept what has happened. I will find the answer out soon enough."

Xigbar tapped his fingers over his gun growing impatient for such a simple answer. "Why do humans have to complicate things so much? Just either come or not and if you don't then I would like to know why?" He kept his yellow orb on the other two girls as well for he was intimidating especially with his height.

"I want to know the answer to some questions first. When I find that out I will give you my definate answer. One of them concerns the town and the one who can stop this disaster."

"Oh so we're going to be like that huh? All right. I'll humor ya. Your town is done for and so are the people unless he comes and makes it go all away as he is the only one who can being the master of water and such," Xigbar chuckled deep in his throat. "Pathetic how no one is trying to do anything to help anyone out. In the end all I guess your theory Cloud of every man for himself is correct. Proves it right there."

Demyx starred at Saix with a blank expression for a minute comprehending what he was saying, ignoring what Axel said to Larxene and what she would say to him if anything. "Oh no that's not what I meant. Of course there would be nobodies here to watch over things while we're gone. I just thought that the boss would want to come so he can see the hearts get harvested for himself and see what kind of threat these Turks really are." He cast his azure eyes to Xemnas, Axel and Larxene. "Besides I have a source who knows about them and would have no problem relaying the information to me. I think you know what or should I say whom I'm referring to. We'll have the advantage when we know what each human can do. I'm sure they are not that powerful. They are weak humans right? They don't have powers like we do and if they do I'll find that out so we will be prepared and not walk into a battle not knowing anything about them." He opened a portal, lifting his right hand as the dark entrance swirled about ready to depart with anyone else who would come.

 

Luxord looked at Namine and the other two run aways. "unloyal waste of space" he said coldly to Namine. The Gambler of Fate looked at Xion and Roxas they both disgusterd him "like Xigbar said and clearly presenting your judgement is not here yet but when it does unfortionate souls like yourself can dwindle or slip out of its way" Luxord said to Roxas and Xion. The Gambler of Fate listend to Xigbar's and Cloud's talk "so my belief is right unfortionatly your just an cold shell of an man that was once pure exactly like us" Luxord said to Cloude with an smile on his face. "as time makes its fated flow even true friends can simply betray each other its only a matter of time humen" The Gambler of Fate said to the blond warior again.

 

He did not just imply what she thought he did.

She had to be careful now, as the Nymph was on thin ice when it came do Xemnas and his patience, but now the ginger haired moron is implying that Larxene stay behind for what might possibly be – if all goes well – the last mission the organisation will ever go on.
She is the brains of this scheme, she thought up the plan, she is one of the greatest fighters of this organisation, and Saix wants her to, oh, I don’t know, STAY BEHIND.
Slight creases began to form in Larxene’s forehead, the more she thought about what Axel had said. Hell, she did not even know axel was standing there. She just wanted to get out, get the hearts, and get on back here as fast as she could. No drama, no sob-scenes, no goodbye speeches, just doing the job the way she had planned. Was that so hard to get into that big, self-filled skull of his?
“Look, Axel.†Larxene looked at the fire mage coldly. “I wanna get in there, take all their hearts – including the guy who fell head over heels for me – and get the hell out of there. It isn’t as if I’m going to book a freakin’ hotel room whilst I’m there, is it?†Her voice turned patronizing, forcing the Nymph to smirk at how idiotic the Flurry sounded when he said the word ‘promise’.
“Now,†She giggled, holding her hands on her narrow hips and tilting forward a fraction or so. “If you want me to promise that I will be good, like a little girl, then I shall do so. It is just saddening that you cannot accept things like an adult, and get on with stuff without doubting. What are you, like, jealous?†Laughing at that thought, Larxene took her attention away from Axel for the time being, and looked at Saix.
“...Fine.†She mumbled, looking back to the superior to evade from looking into his sickly eyes. Crossing her arms, she still spoke to Saix, her tone showing irritated signs. “You have a point with the superior and yourself staying here, but I didn’t know that the Nocturne was inviting the vast majority of the organisation to go along with us. I assumed this was our mission to prove our worth to this place, not a family picnic.â€

Biting the tip of her glove in thought, Larxene gradually began to nod. Axel was a good fighter, and he had assassins to help with whatever was going to go down. Gexlion was a decent fighter, and a plus point for him was that he enjoyed pain.
Oh well, two extra idiots probably would not make too much of a difference.
“I suppose... Axel and Gexlion would do some good if they came with us. There are many of the Turks, and they have guns and stuff, so it might help if they came. It’s wise to keep some members back here for backup, because we don’t know what stunt they could pull.â€

We go out there, kick a few asses, and boom.
We have our hearts.

 

Tifa felt all cold inside, but she didn't have time to analyze that now. "Oh, it's cost you? How do you think everyone else feels about how she's gone?" She rubbed her head. "Xion of anyone should have time to mourn, but she's already out there again, rescuing people and making new friends. She's already in danger from your damn promise!"

Xion stood her ground. "You don't scare me." she told the man, taking Namine's hand and pulling to her to Tifa. "Namine's not scared of you either. Us three can take you on easily."

 

Luxord looked at the three he kept the same smirk on his face. "are those three sane cause im not gona let my honor and reputation be damaged if it cost me my mission" The Gambler of Fate thought to himself. "such attracting and tempting words but unfortionatly ladies like i clearly stated before its not your time yet" Luxord said to them coldly.

 

Naminé flinched.
She knew what to say to both of them.She wasn't a waste of space,and she doubted she ment anything to the organization at all.
"I think you're all just tough talkers" She directed toward them both.
She stood up slowly,her lips curled into an upward smile.
"I doubt that I'm as strong as you,or even close to as fast."She looked through them with a cold stare and continued;
"But I sure am more useful,than all of you put together."

She didn't regret those words now.
She knew the Xion would try her best to protect her,and Tifa included.
"You don't even know what you want."She turned to Luxord now.
"You're more of a heartless than a nobody anyhow.You have no pain for others.You just give and take."And with those words said,she walked toward Luxord and stared deeply into his eyes.
"That includes you."Her hand made a fist and she scrowled.
"If I could hurt you,I would."

And then walking toward Xigbar;who still wasen't convinced,she said,"I will just mess up all your memories."Then made an evil smile.
"So you don't even know who you are,or your objectives."And then looking back at Luxord,who was shocked beyond anything she could imagine,"Let's see who's a waste of space now,like you even want to know who you are."

 

Luxord was quet surprissed from the spoken words of Namine. One thing The Gambler of Fate hated was being embarassed infront of others his honor and reputation was the most importent. After an few moments of looking at Namine coldly Luxord grabed Namine's dress by the caller and picked her up using the dress he grabed onto. "you are always the same an uncontrollable brat who does not know the fated place your suppose to be in i will not allow my honor and dignity to be slanderd by an unsensable witch" Luxord said to her coldy and raised her up even more "your worst then that blond little tramp at my old home and the horrible queen of hearts i swear if i did not care about my dignity and my honor i would snap your neck right now" The Gambler of Fate said to Namine the most coldest way he ever said to anyone meaning every word of it.

 

Xion looked up at him, her blue eyes cold. "You weren't much fun as a kid, were you? And now you're all work and no play. Slaving away for Xemnas...Gosh that must get old so fast. I wonder if you miss the way you used to play around. Maybe you don't. Maybe you're just a cold Nobody now." she smiled sweetly.

 

Seeing that Luxord wasn't going to let go anytime soon,she smacked him across the face;and hard.
He dropped her,and she ran as fast as she could away from everyone.
"Don't tell me about who I am!"She screamed,while running.
Then she made a dark portal,and disappeared inside of it.



She only actually teleported behind some railing and pipes,10 feet behind them.She was hoping that everyone would figure as much,and the organization would leave to look for her.
And then he saw him,Roxas;looking straight at her.
Then away,as if she wasn't there.
She smiled.
