A Life to Lead ^_^

"It's an obscure position I've been placed in, here." Larxene explained, glancing at Reno, then back at Rufus. "I am in love with Reno. He is this first person..." Swallowing slightly, Larxene paused for a moment as she cringed. Now was not the moment to feel a burning hate towards the Melodius Nocturne, and yet it had presented itself as soon as she was placed in a difficult situation. "...He is the first person I have loved. And I am sure it will stay that way. What sort of air are we speaking of?" She scrunched her mouth up slightly, and sighed again.
Stupid fucking mulleted child.

 

"What I mean is ..if we let you walk away, will you inform anyone of this meeting?Of who we are ..and what we plan to do to the rest of your group?" Rufus questioned, feeling the tension between the Turks rise.He knew Tseng and Elena, mostly Elena, would have no problem ..but Rude wouldn't go against Reno so easily ..and Reno wouldn't let them hurt her, would he?

"If you do tell someone ..lives will be lost between the Turks here." he didn't like to admit it ..but from the looks, the Turks will be against each other for sure if she chose to tell.

 

"And why would I go around bragging of you guys?" Larxene asked, her eyebrow raised. "I'm not speaking to any of those idiots back at home, and if I was to tell them anything, it would be to tell them where to shove their ego's. But anyways, I'm rambling, as I could forever about that lot.." Shaking her head, she looked at Reno and walked back to his side, closer ot him that before. "Don't worry yourself about me 'telling' of you, as it isn't a me thing to go bragging of what others have, more of what I have." With a smile, she concluded of what she had to say, and hugged into Reno's side.

 

"...Thank you.Our offer will still stand if you have a change of heart.Elena, Tseng, Rude ..lets move.Reno ..you come to us when your ready." Rufus waved to Larxene with a final farewell before the three Turks came to him.Rude gave a nod to Rude before taking Rufus' wheelchair bars and pushing him along.Tseng and Elena accompanied, neither looking at Reno and Larxene holding one another.

_

"...You handled that well." Reno said once the group turned a corner.He brought his arms around Larxene and hugged her tightly.She was amazing ..and she kept her cool, nice job indeed.

"Larxene, you might want this.." said Rude, appearing back around from the corner with a cell phone in hand."Keep in touch ..Reno's number is already programmed ..when we're sure your trusted enough, you'll get the others." with Larxene still in Reno's arms, Rude tossed it to her, confident she can catch it with ease.Reno's arms were around her waist anyway.

 

Larxene leaned, and caught the cellphone with ease. She felt secure in Reno's arms, and liked the stable feel of being in that stance with him.
But, no matter what, she knew that at one point, one of the others would find out. What would their reaction be? Well, screw them. No matter what, she will always know that at least one of them would be green with envy.
Yeah, at least one of them.
"Okay.." She nodded, slipping it into the inside of her coat for later use. She had to say goodbye for now, to let the red-head go and speak to his boss and the blonde whore alone. Whatever, she'd have him in her clutches later.
"I think your boss wants you to go with him..." She whispered with a smile, before giving him a kiss and releasing herself form his hold. "Go with him.. You can get in touch with me later.."

At that, she walked a few meters to his left, and opened a portal. "Bye, bye now." She nodded at Rude, and blew a kiss at reno, then entered the corridor of darkness, totally out of sight.

 

Cloud got the man within a few feet due to his tremendous speed and held the man by his throat, his nails gripping through his black gloves. "You're going to change your plans or you'll find yourself without a head." He brought the blade of his sword inches to the man's neck. The narrowing of his eyes was so intense that it would make any one of his enemies or anyone who turned on him regret that move. He was intent on ending this man's life just for the mentioning of losing someone he cared for. This guy was nothing, but trash and even Reno could take this guy if he knew what was going on. Reno and Cloud never did get along for they both had a different mindset, but one thing for certain was that they would both defend those that meant something to them. "Now you piece of scum, you better have a good reason for why you shot my friend and tried to shoot my other friends and otherwise it's curtains."

Before getting to the agency, the melodious nocturne had ten minutes to spare so he decided to spend it in anyway he choose. Walking close to the walk ways of the river, his eyes surveyed the damage of the town and how the restoration was coming. Wiping a strand of hair away from his eyes, he bent down to see a child and a teen crying in a corner. Placing his hand on his chin, he extended the same hand out to them. "You guys should come out from there. I don't think that bridge looks to sturdy and it would be a shame if it collapsed on you." The two children, an older sister watching over her brother took hold of his hand and were pulled out. "There that wasn't so hard was it?" He stood back up and shook his wrist.

The older girl glared at him and held her brother close. "You're one of them. You are dressed in the same horrible outfit that the one with fire and lightning had." She pointed at him like he was a ruthless demon. "What do you want from us? Haven't you caused enough pain already? Our parents are probably gone because of your kind." Tears were flowing down her face and she was an outspoken girl and she would stand her ground aganist the confused nobody even if it meant costing her very life. "Our home nearly got destroyed and I can't find my mother or father anywhere."

The musician being devoid of any feelings somehow did seem sad if one could call it that, for his shoulders slumped and he slowly hung his head as in trying to protray the feelings. Biting his bottom lip gentely, he licked the botttom one for he was nervous and ashamed. "Yes Iam one of them, but you got me all wrong. I'm nothing like the ones you saw before. I don't take pleasure in causing other people pain. It's not in my nature. I only fight if I have to," he looked away not bearing to see her tears flowing from her brother's eyes.

"Then why? Why do you stay with a bunch of evil killers? If you're so different then why do you allow these deaths to happen? Do you not have a heart or a conscience? Well do you!" She stomped her foot and screamed at the top of her lungs making him play with his fingers.

Demyx shook his head slowly and then gazed at the fury and hurt in her terrfied eyes. "I used to and I stay because I have to for otherwise it would mean my death. I have no choice, but to do as I'm told. Have you ever been in the situation? Do you know what it feels like to be a slave and forced to do things against your will?" His voice rose up, as he was acting like the desperate victim. "I lost my family too all right? I lost my very life and changed me into something that I am now, a being that should not even exist, and one to forever be doomed to be hurt by others in my very own group." He looked away hurt he had even confessed such a hidden secret to a mere mortal someone who could age where as he would never be able to. The more he thought of the members especially Larxene, the one who said she would be there for him no matter what, the more depressed and upset he became. His fist shook as he forced himself not to cry.

The girl froze in shock by what she heard from this young man. He could relate to her brother and he was worse off. Showing compassion she let down her guard and let go of her brother's hand. What her parents had told her about Sora's words about nobodies was wrong. They were not all evil. This one was just misunderstood. "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that." Now she felt extremely bad and wanted to help. "Um so you lost your life of who you were? That changes everything. All I can offer you is our thanks for helping us and a favor from us in the future. My name is Jenni and my brother's name is Alex." She shook his hand and then gave him a hug along with her brother. "I hope you find what you're looking for. Come on Alex." She ran off towards what was left of her home with her brother.

Demyx watched them leave and then sat down on the ground once they had gone, his back against a building and his right leg extended out, the left one bent. Shaking his head side to side, he exhaled deeply hoping never to have to face guilt like that again. So that is what it felt like to experience phantom guilt.

 

Xeol saw the gambler walk in was he being called back already. Before the fog wielder could say anything Luxord oppend up an portal so they could walk through. Xeol looked back as he and the Gambler walked through the portal appearing at where nothing gathers.

 

Aerith opened the door, her green eyes stark against her pale face. "She's sleeping." she whispered, breathing heavily. "It took a lot more then I thought it would." She looked back up at Tifa, her eyes almost feverish. "You need to find Cloud, okay? I'll stay here, I can take..." her breath caught in her throat. She cleared it, then murmured. "I'll be okay."

Tifa shook her head resignedly, then helped Aerith to lie on the couch. "Stay there. I'll go get him." She sighed, watching the other woman close her eyes. Xion must have been hurt bad for even Aerith to be tired. Of course...the planet's life was not something easily channeled either. Still..she had done it to save Midgar before. Tifa ran out the door, her gloves still on. "Cloud..." she gasped as the fireball headed toward her, then grabbed the nearby bench and hurled it, duckign at the last minute as it exploded.

 

"Now that's a woman ..I pity the sucker that missed out on her.." Reno muttered once the portal shut.He could still feel her slender, hot body on him ..man, he'd kill to have her ..

Wait a second..

He did have her.

Grinning, he licked his lips and looked over towards Rude, heading over towards his partner and bringing his hands behind his head to chill back. He'd be lying if he said that the situation before wasn't stressful ..Turk against Turk ..he was prepared to slug Tseng if he tried anything.And Elena ..he wouldn't hurt her ..and she wouldn't hurt him most likely.They had disagreements, arguments, fights ..but they were Turks all the same."So, Rude ..what made you decide to give her a phone?" he asked, stopping in front of him and allowing the bald one to lead the way to the locations the others would be at."Anyway..thanks."

"..Don't thank me ..it was Elena's idea." Rude admitted as they headed back out into Hollow Bastion's residential area together.He reflected back on the departing of the Turks only minutes ago. Elena, having seethed after seeing Larxene with Reno, silently suggested that she receive a phone. "..She doesn't want to see you hurt, none of us do ..we know how you get, Reno ..just be sure you keep your guard up with this one." he told his companion.Elena wasn't lying when he said Reno claimed love often when he found the seemingly 'amazing, spectacular' girl ..but they always went off into the hands of another, more rich man that he ..and it was obvious Reno played it off.It hurt him inside ..those around him could see it,especially Rude.They were partners long enough, right?

"...Elena suggested it, huh?" Reno and Elena had an odd relationship.There was a time when she recognized him as a superior, and always admired him from afar ..but she was growing up, growing smarter and stronger every day ..heck, when it came to superiority, there was no doubt she'd beat him in that contest ..but then again, it was so easy that it wouldn't be a contest at all.More like a blowout.Luckily, Larxene wasn't in it for the money ..or because he was the toughest, blond haired, giant sword wielding creep who threw his weight around. No ..she loved him for sure, there was no doubt about it ..she was the one, she had to be.

Yet, to think everyone cared about him so much ..Tseng and Elena walked around without giving much of a damn about him on the outside, and Rufus mostly did the same.It was a cover-up ..no matter what Elena had said, and no matter what Tseng had tried ..they cared about him."I guess this brings new meaning to the 'Turks for life' saying, eh?" he asked, patting Rude on the shoulder as he moved past.Before he could respond again, Reno looked over his shoulder at him."Hey ..lets get some drinks, Tseng and Elena can handle Rufus for a while.." he smiled and headed off to the direction of the nearest bar.Two men in suits, as if they didn't stick out enough.

Chuckling under his breath, Rude followed without question.Rufus DID say he could take a break after giving Larxene that cell phone ..and maybe Reno would be drunk enough to pay for the drinks after the little bartender came preaching about them 'having enough'."Same old Reno.." he uttered under his breath, walking after him.

_

"Are you certain that was smart? ..what if Reno is wrong about this girl?" Tseng asked, arms folded and back rested against a brick wall as he, Elena and Rufus sat in an alley to relax for a moment and figure out the next move to be made.Out of the three present, he was the least excited about giving Larxene that phone. It was a risk giving that to her ..she could easily be enticing Reno for information of some sort ..but then again, Reno wasn't so stupid as to fall for that, right?

"This Larxene girl could be useful ..will she be replacing Cloud as someone who can aid us when we need it most?" he asked, remembering Reno's report on Cloud.He was a betrayer, aiding the people who killed and murdered for whatever reason that could never be justified.

"..Yeah, upsetting Reno isn't the easiest thing to do ..Cloud must've been crossing the line for that to happen ..but then again, I did that too." Elena muttered, standing beside Rufus while she thought about Larxene from earlier.She had seen Reno hurt so many times that he didn't want to see it happen again ..and Larxene seemed like a real witch too.The most she could hope for was that Larxene could be that person to make him happy in any way she could, and Elena knew that Reno would do the same.It wasn't about the money, that was for certain.

"That may be ..but if Reno is right about Cloud, then having Larxene as a contact may be useful to us in more ways than one ..maybe Reno can siphon information from her." Rufus thought. If Cloud was more unstable than he usually was, then using him for aid was out of the question ..there were others around here he could use, but he didn't have a name or an appearance to go on to find capable people.Right now, stopping the Organization was what mattered the most at the current time.It reminded him of the past with Shinra nearly wiping out the entire planet ..he had to make things right."..We'll let things play out between Reno and Larxene ..Elena." he looked over towards her, eyes hidden under his white hood as always."..There's a disturbance far off ..I heard someone yelling with a particularly whiny voice..can you investigate for us and return here?" he asked.

..Another assignment already ..at least it isn't too far from the return site.. Elena nodded to Tseng and then to Rufus."Right away." so, she was to investigate a disturbance nearby ..Rufus had heard a guy with a whiny voice ..must've been a kid that hadn't hit puberty yet.Shame.She jogged out of the alleyway once no one was nearby and headed off, following the sounds of battle.

 

Sick of standing around like a zombie with nothing to do the red headed nobody decided to handle this person on his own. He had already witness the other events with this guy came into the picture. Suspecting that Leon would rat on him and wanting to be away from the others the flurry, was intent on finding Roxas if he could. Even so the thrill of ending someone's life was still in his blood and he needed this death to control tendencies. Without another glance or another thought he thrust forward until he was inches towards Cloud and pulled back on the older man's sword to release the shooter's neck. "I will exterminate of this vermin," he replied to the warrior without even loooking at him. Even though Axel didn't trust Cloud he still wanted to handle the death, and make sure no one would harm of anyone he cared about. It was kind of funny that when the flurry wasn't around danger would show its ugly head. Either way this man's life was now in his hands and would soon be dead. Another heartless perhaps? It would surely make up for the lack of hearts he hadn't collected. Gripping forably on the man's throat the pyro drug him through a void that he had made with his hand. Threw him into it and then disappeared out of sight. Inside the corridor of darkness, What happened next was the slashing motion swiftly as he killed the man with the use of his weapon and left him dead. The body now thrown out towards the cliff that he exposed of as a heart had flown into the sky the body now becoming an weakly shadow. Which of course the flurry stomped down on it until it dissipated. Once that was done he just stood looking at the moutains of the blue surroundings before.


Leon watched Axel leave into the portal with the shooter as his cautious eyes tensed a bit, but decided to let it go when he thought he had heard or actually saw something. "Cloud, let's stay on our guard. You never know what kind of people could still be lurking out. Something tells me that the man wasn't alone," He had his gun blade drawn out as he saw some heartless and jumped upon some and killed them.

Saix sighed as he noticed a presence in Where Nothing Gathers and had silently had sent some of his beserkers scope out the worlds to see what the hell was going on. He then spotted Xeol and Luxord. Without even turning his back he acknowledged their presence. "So what have the two of you been up to?" He handled things when Xenmas was busy gazing at the heart in the sky and would report back to him if necessary. From his wherabouts there was unsettling news about other people in coats and he wanted to investigate, but decided that his Berserkers or dusks would be easier to grasp information.

 

Cloud was glad that Axel had taken care of the vermin himself. The warrior didn't have to bloody his hands and he stood by listening to Leon and nodded his head. "Yeah you're right. Leon, something strange has happened to Reno. I can't put my finger on it, but he's more of a jerk than usual. Did I have anything to do with it? What is your take on the whole thing?"

After gathering his composure he walked off to the audition and walked into the building where he shook the interviewer's hand. Restored with what seemed to be like a heart, he sighed and walked outside where the audition would take place. "Thanks for giving me this second chance," he said to her as she sat down in a chair.

"Things happen and Hollow Bastion as well as Twilight Town really need some entertainment to pick other's spirits up after what has happened recently," she was very relaxed as she made herself comfortable in the chair.

"Yeah I know what you mean. Just so you know I'm also a magician so if you see things that are out of this world don't question my methods for that will spoil the trick," he made an insturment appear except it wasn't his sitar, it was another weapon known as Rock Star that was an electric guitar with sharp pointy ends that played a different tune all together. Seeing a keyboard in the corner, he walked over to it and set it to a techno beat with drum beats, moving the knobs just so slightly. "I'm just setting up right now." He got everything ready and was ready to perform.

"Lonely, lonely without you, I can't surivive. So lonely without you.
Lonely, lonely without you, I feel like I can just die. So lonely without you."

He began to dance, bringing his hips in the fray and swaying his shoulders back and forth matching the fast rythum of the song as he played his instument.

"Life without you is so wrong. It's the greatest pain of all. I can live I just can't go on. Living without you I'm going to fall.
It's so hard not having you near, I feel like I died and lost a part of me
Is goodbye and you're not here. My heart is crying sorefully.

Lonely, lonely without you, I can't surivive. So lonely without you.
Lonely, lonely without you, I feel like I can just die. So lonely without you.

I try and I try to let you go, but I can't seem to carry on.
I try so hard but I just don't know how to live without you all alone.
My heart keeps crying over you. Its falling apart without your love.
With this heart it got me so cold. My lonely heart has had enough.

Lonely, lonely without you, I can't surivive. So lonely without you.
Lonely, lonely without you, I feel like I can just die. So lonely without you.

 

A blond woman's head was just barely visible past the wall of a small shop nearby.When she arrived, it appeared someone who looked just like Reno was taking someone through a black void of darkness ..and what made matters worse was that he wore the outfit Larxene did.Joy ..the killers were walking through town and dragging random people off to be murdered.And to make matters much, much worse ..Cloud let it happen.The supposed 'hero' of Midgar let a killer walk away with that man ..and then the question really came to her. What side was that guy on? ..and then there was Tifa, but that wasn't a surprise.

Reno was right, the blond haired 'hero' was now working against humanity.

"..Reno was right ..here's the proof, right before me.." Elena muttered, bending down lower and sliding back against the wall, making sure she was out of sight.She'd listen in for just a little while longer, and then pull back ..there wouldn't be a chance in hell she could be sensed or spotted ..unless the finder was lucky.

But there was a good side to this ..Reno actually could take information from Larxene when possible.The Turks and Rufus could find where their base was, and destroy it and them in the process ..but they needed time.Larxene wasn't dumb ..Reno would have to pull out all the stops to get her mouth moving.

_

"Another!" Reno called, setting his small glass down on the waxed wooden table as he sat beside Reno in the bar.The place was relaxing and the bartender was a nice guy..little on the chubby side, but a nice guy regardless of looks.He traveled over and nodded to Reno before taking his glass and filling it again."Second thought, bring the bottle!" he waved to the bartender before looking towards Rude, who was still on his first shot.Was he thinking?..you could never tell with the strong, silent types.

Bringing a hand to his back, Reno patted him gently, then harder until Rude looked in his direction."Come on, lighten up a little ..let loose, we're off duty .." he spun around in his chair and faced behind him, his gaze over towards the door.He threw his hands behind his head and sighed in relief.This was a good way to let loose."..Listen man,I know what your thinking.. if Larxene tries anything funny then I can deal with it ..you trust me enough to handle myself, right?"

"..Reno." Rude finally spoke after the mention of Larxene came from his own partners lips.He was Reno's closest friend ..and worrying about his well being wouldn't be anything new.He was a charmer for women ..he was a good man at heart ..but when it came to tough choices, he may not know what he had to do.His sunglass-covered eyes looking over toward him, the bald headed companion went on."..When the time comes ..could you kill her?"

Hearing that, the fun died down and the whole bar seemed to drop its noise level.His face was hidden from Rude, but Reno's eyes were narrowed in thought. He knew what his job was ..to protect the world at all costs, due to Shinra making such a mess of things back in Midgar and Edge.

"....What are you talking about, Rude?" he asked softly.

"..Love or not, she's as bad of a killer as the others ..if we cornered her and had her on her knees ..could you end her life?" Rude hated to bring it up so suddenly ..but he had to know where Reno's loyalty lied.Yeah, he'd die for him, and Reno would do the same for him ..but when a woman was in the picture, the game changed entirely."..You realize that Shinra may have only let you stay with her is because she can give us information the more you please her ..and when she's told us everything, then-"

"It's not going to come to that, Rude ..it won't..heart or not, she's Larxene no matter what ..and I'm going to do what I can to bring her out of that group ..and to deal with this Xemnas guy if I have to." Reno spun around and took hold of the bottle that was just set down in front of him.He made sure to have his drinks relatively weak ..if Larxene was in trouble, he couldn't afford to be drunk and silly."..I'll talk to you later.." he mumbled, slipping off of the chair with his drink in hand as he headed for the door.

And he wondered ..if it ever happened ..could he destroy her?..

"..You make things more complicated than I thought." he whispered, thinking of Larxene as he stepped outside into the bright sun with Hollow Bastion looking as ..well, Bastiony as ever.He went off in a random direction and decided to find something to do.

All Rude could do is watch Reno walk off ..damn him for saying something.The mood was killed the moment he said her name ..and to make matters worse, Reno left ..without paying a cent.he paid the bartender and took his first and final shot before staying at the bar, eyes half shut as he wondered what to do.Support him, or be against this?

..Why did everything have to be so complicated?

 

Larxene strolled down the street of hollow bastion. She had her hood up, and her hands played with the cell-phone that was inhabiting her hands. It was a small, silver device which flipped up to reveal many buttons and a small colourful screen. How strange... It was possibly the most boring device know to man.
Bleh. Whatever. SHe could keep in touch with Reno, and that was what mattered to her.

The streets began to get littered by the sound of music. It was fast, with a voice singing rather sad lyrics to it.
With a curious mind, she followed the sound, and found herself outside of a small bulding, with a window just at her height to peek in and see who was making such a sound.

With her head resting on her folded arms, she leaned against the window frame and sighed.
It was Demyx making this noise. How stupid.. The music was way too low to make an actual impact on the person he was trying to impress.
So he was trying to get a job? Well, if he did get the job, he would be away from the castle.. that meaning, she didn't have to put up with his face around the castle as often.

With a click of her fingers, she sent a small snap of lightening towards the source of Demyx's power, forcing the volume to raise vastly.
Now, at least he would make an impact here.

 

With the burst of the sudden electricity from an unknown source, the building seemed to vibrate and to prevent it from collapsing he danced his way out of the room and brought up his music to another level to where all of Hollow Bastion heard him. He was enthralled with the beat and his muse was bringing him inspiration. He felt human with a purpose as his voice rang true as he was given a microphone by the agency. Demyx felt like he had been reborn becoming like who he was once.

She was blown out of her mind by how the performance was going and she didn't want to stop him. This guy could sure sing and dance. Her agency would be famous, travelers coming from over a far just to hear and see him. She had found her new star.

He followed the beat with an electric guitar solo, his fingers dancing rapidly across the strings without missing a beat. He was swift with his notions and soon gathered his first audience of lookie loos.

Cloud shot his head up from hearing his friend sing and he smiled that he was doing so well. "Leon, now all of Hollow Bastion can hear him. He has a lot of talent. I'm glad that his audition is going well." He sensed another presence like that of someone familar, but didn't act on that instinct.

 

After a few of slaughtering heartless Leon nodded his reply to Cloud. He enjoyed the sound of Demyx's voice as well. "That is true, but we still have some heartless to contend to. The fire nobody though may have killed that person who was threatening our friends, but he was the one who knocked me out cold," He muttered vaguing remebering, but He knew Axel's name, but felt that he didn't deserve to have it mentioned right now. Who knows what nobodies did to the deceased bodies. Leon didn't want to find out either.

 

"You call that talent..?" Elena asked, low enough so only she was able to hear it, but barely.Honestly, she'd rather listen to a screaming three year old than hear this other guy singing.If this was going to be the 'new musical sensation' then the world of music had reached an all time low.But now she had to focus on more important matters.Despite the poor performance by the guy with the 'whiny' voice Rufus was talking about, Leon provided her with a small piece of information ..the one that left wielded fire, and he definitely killed a man ..this might've been old news, but no matter, it was news all the same.Now she had to work with it.Slowly she reached into her suit pocket and pulled out a cell phone, gently flipping it open and looking down her 'phonebook' list to call Tseng and let him know she was all right ..and a new piece of information was given. From the looks of it, the blond idiot didn't know anything ..though the brunette was cute, she'd admit that.If Cloud wasn't so moody then he might be more attractive in her eyes ..but what can you do with a mindless, emotional idiot?

 

WIth a slight smirk on her features, Larxene walked away from the building. Now, what was it she needed to do?
After a moment of thought, she remembered exactly something she needed to do before anything else; it was evident that axel had kept his word on not speaking of her location, and the least she could do was say a small thankyou. Even if she just dropped a note with "thankyou" written on it. It actually was appreciated.
...She would only show said appreciation, when nobody was around, that is.

Strolling further into Hollow bastion, she kept her azure eyes averted to the ground, awaiting her call from Reno.

 

Cloud was nearby and his ears picked up the sound of Elena's voice. Oh great now he had to deal with another Turk. Reno just wasn't enough. Now there was another annoyance in his midsts. Looking back at Leon, he twirled his sword out in front. "I know what you mean, but we got company Leon. I sensed Reno wasn't alone when he came here. He brought the rest of the Turks I bet. I hope I don't have to do their job for them again." Cloud didn't trust any of them for they once were enemies and had only united to stop a certain foe. Now he didn't owe them anything. He heard the voice, as others must of been deaf and had no appeciation for music and for someone who could sing like no other. "At least he is happy," he watched the swarm of fans that surrounded the nocturne.

Demyx ended his song and recieved a huge roar of applause from the spectators especially the interviewer. "So what did you think?" He smiled and walked towards her.

"I found my new star. I will gladly pay you whatever you think is fair. You my boy are going to put Hollow Bastion on the map. You will be adorned by fans, and have more munny then you will know what to do with." She shook his hand. "I have looked for talant like yours in a long time and I would think that I would find it here in this very town. Tell me I must know your name."

Demyx blushed and placed his arm behind his head. "I can't give you my actual name, but you can call me my stage name Fury of the Storm," he gave out the title.

"Yes yes I love it. That is awesome. I'm going to get the contract ready in about a day and once you agree with the terms and sign you'll wow this place all over."

"Yeah that sounds good." He waved to her as a bunch of people came rushing up to him. "Oh hi..." he flashed his pearly whites in their direction. "Yeah you can have my autograph." He signed pieces of paper, and anything that was available. He had sensed Larxene somewhere and now it was weaker and not as noticeable. "Will you excuse me?" He ran away from his new fans and located her. "Were you the one who sent me that shock?" He asked her.

 

OOC: Yeah, makes perfect sense for Cloud to hear someone who can barely hear themselves, as well as 'sense' people just arriving..give me a break ffs..

Well, it appeared as if Cloud had supersonic hearing, as well as the ability to 'sense' people coming into town with no explainable reason whatsoever.If he could 'sense' people then he'd be able to sense Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz in the Forgotten City without asking Reno and Rude where they were.God logic is so amazing these days, isn't it?

Ignoring that crap completely, Elena moved away, calling Tseng as she did so to inform him of what she logically picked up without fail, and without sensing.

 

Larxene stopped. And here she thought that she would have made an escape, a swift one at that. "Yes." She replied to the Nocturne's question to the best she could.
