Organization XIII's revenge

Axel noticed Larxene's slurred notable words barely audible for him to understand, but he only looked at her blindfully for a momenet when she came towards him. It was a complete position for him when he suddenly felt her closeness towards him and her bare hand touching his chest. Breathing slowly and calmly he did his best to ignore these kind of advances and let her do what she wanted. One false move and she might be any chance slice him with her Kunai's and since he was already had a slash already another one would not to his satisfaction. He was taken back with her other arm seem to wrap around his neck while the other was now touching his chest as if gracing it or massaging it. His eyes averted to see what she wad doing. He could of smacked her hand away, but what good would that do especially since she was showing signs of being intoxicated now. He couldn't anger now especially in a place none of them were that familar with. He gasped slightly from this kind of contact, but what ever reason he stayed perfectly still like that of a statue. A nervous situation now dawned in his brain instead of blank emotion or boredom. This was something new and different as he couldn't quite understand it to a stand point even through his own past memories were out of focus or blurry flashed with blackness to remember how he would respond to this kind of contact with the bodies conflicting like this. Her head leaning on his upper torso which shocked him, but he kept telling himself that this was the effects of the alcohol. The next thing she did with her lips pressing firmly to his chest and then letting go it was nerve wrecking, but also his body seem comfortable with it. His eyes slowly closing as feeling the vibration and of the mouth that he had pressed against his skin. "Larxene....?" He replied softly. The tenseness gone as he relaxed. He knew that Larxene wouldn't do this if she was her usual self and that he needed to get her to a hotel before she did something else out of the organinarly. Still he couldn't not admit that this was a good feeling. It was something he was yearning as well, the closeness, body heat, but his mind then snapped back to realization as he heard a sharp zipping sound that flashed his eyes open and saw that his cloak was zipped up fully which he was a sign of relief for him. A clapping sound was heard as he noticed Larxene body swaying as if she had gotten off a roller coaster or something that could make you dizzy. He just let her drag him along his feet kept moving through the place to make it easier so she didn't have to drag him across town or street. "I hope you know where you are going. I did tell you to lead the way." He muttered, but he was fatefully more easy going than before.

 

(OOC: That's fine Legion.)

Cloud rested his hand over the back of his neck feeling like a failure for not being to locate him. He wondered what Leon would think of him right now especially if he knew he was trying to rescue what his friend would call the enemy? Pushing that thought out of his mind, he sighed out loud attempting not to give up. The blond looked for any signs of trouble or secret where abouts to get to his unknown destination. "Where did that thing go? What did Demyx call them again? That's right a dancer," the name came to him as he remembered the dancing pattern of the lesser nobody that had led him through the maze. With his buster sword, he reached another level of stairs and sprinted up them determined to find any more clues or hidden passage ways. "There has got to be something that I'm not able to understand. One thing is the language of the nobody. Perhaps my comlink can translate a message if I happen to run into one, but wait a minute nobodies are considered nonexistent so how would that work? This is very confusing." Getting fed up with the goose chase, he didn't care anymore if he was seen or heard. He had to make his presence known. "Xemnas I need to have a word with you. I'm giving myself up. Face me." Cloud rose his voice to that of almost a holler, his tone serious and bold.

Demyx stopped suddendly hearing Cloud's voice and he froze wondering if he should leave and take his chance to get out now that the shield was off or try to speak to Xemnas once more. He called out to the Superior and quickly touched Xemnas's arm just when he was about to leave and stood back hestiant of doing so. He didn't know what else to do and he was risking taking the chance of trying to reach out to his boss to prove his loyalty. Swallowing and taking a deep breath he hoped he was doing the right thing. For Kingdom Hearts if this failed he wouldn't know what else to do next. Being all sincere, he placed both arms behind his back and look slightly down being, his body posture slouching and leaning over a bit, his chin level to the ground. Knowing what he wanted to say he took the chance to be brave and gave him eye contact. "Boss please before you make that decision final just think about what I said. What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm loyal and can be trusted? There was in no way I would ever betray the organization. I'm not that kind of guy." He brought his hands back in front and placed them out in front of clearly expressing himself using his body language. "I'm grateful for you bringing me the screwup back and it shows that you see some glimmer of hope in me. I mean there had to be a reason right? I must of showed some kind of potential or something or was I simply a mistake to begin with?" The melodious nocturne gazed down feeling all hurt inside thinking he really was a nothing. Perhaps Xemnas's words of them being nobobies or nothings was starrting to make sense to him.

 

A nobody was walking through radiant garden. He was beyond bored. It appeared that killing a few strangers just didn't cut it for him anymore. His sulking poisoned the sky till he saw a building. Maybe a little more fun could be found in there. He opened the door.

 

Cloud awaited for Xemnas to answer his call, as he began to set coordinates on his comlink wrist watch. He was concerned about the place especially when he had left into the dark unknown with the dancer. Hitting the enter command, his comlink that had a direct connection to the place where he and Leon stayed surveyed the surroundings with the tiny indectiable cameras in place. Everything seemed to be clear until he noticed a stranger that was near the proximity. "Good thing for the security Leon right when we need it," he switched the column entering the password to place the mode into alert. Now with that accomplished he could concentrate on other matters at the time. Swinging his sword from side to side, his muscles tensed as he gripped it with his left arm. The intensity of the aerobic workout of going up all those steps was causing the sudden pull. Stretching out his legs, he cracked his knuckles in his free hand, switched his weapon to the other and cracked that knuckle as well. "All right now if he comes what should I say to him without compromising my safety? How should I act towards him? I'll have to be careful for who knows how crafty the leader is," he placed his sword down by his side.

Demyx eyed Xemnas waiting to hear a reply from him as he became more unsure of himself. "Everything I say is true isn't it? That's why you're not answering me. I understand and I wish I could change, but I just can't." He sighed and gazed at the other direction wondering what the boss would do to him for simply trying to stop him for what he did. "I'm trying to learn and to follow your rules, but I do have a mind of my own boss and I'm allowed to tell you what 'm experiencing if only you'll give me a chance. I don't know what else to do? I'm lost without your guidance. You created me so do you know what I'm going through and trying to say?" He held onto some hope, his body and mind becoming fatigued for he felt exhausated and drained. A memory was attempting to surface as he held his head hoping for it to leave. He couldn't bare with being plagued with horrible memories not at this exact moment and time.

 

Xemnas stopped, somewhat ominously as he frowned, looking down at the hand that just touched him in a unreadable glint of his eyes. They trailed over to Demyx then, expression tight, and dark, as if he was to have a good explanation for daring to make that sort of move on him. The aura he exuded gave off the premise that if he did not speak soon, there will be a punishment as to why he was halted from leaving, and having his time more wasted on this idiocy of having Sora's ally work for them. Nonsensical idea. And he was aware of what was coming. And indeed, it presented itself, him trying to somehow get this Cloud into this, just because he had "befriended" the man. He was as worse as Axel. And someone who shouts through the astle was not worth a glance if that was his behavior. It was needless to say he did not like it. Not even with what Demyx explained, he did not appreciate what he had done, conjured this up without consulting him first, and expected him to easily accept something as ludicrous as what he proposed. But if the water wielder wanted to trudge on fragile grounds, he would allow him to do so. This Cloud's power, while close, did not match his own, he could sense, so he was not a threat, and in the end, this might work out for him. Much more so than he expected. To kill two birds with one stone if nothing goes as wished. Yes...a plan was surfacing into his mind, and his lips slightly smirked secretly to himself at the prospect. With Demyx's foolishness, this can be quite successful. He now knew what to do, and he will let Demyx go along with it until he was able to provide any semblance of help or dedication to the group. Gazing at the mullet haired man coldly, regarding him with disinterest, his tone was just as dull as he asnwered, "You are still a mistake." He was not going to lie. Someone who decides to work on his own was not to be depended upon. "A second chance was given, but you have deteriorated any 'trust' no longer than merely a few hours since you have come back. You brought a ally of Sora into the castle, and our properties. No longer than talking to him for a few minutes. I do not doubt that you gave him utmost information that was suppose to be enclosed from anyone else, except us. That you were not allowed to give. You have acted on your own without my consent in the first place. You are a utter disgrace, Number Nine. There is more for you to do to prove yourself to me now. Do you expect me to rely on you this way? When you do not think things through? When you brought Sora and another ally into the main base because of your incompetency? Which could ruin everything? Do you understand what you have done, and you will not get out of this completely unscathed? I should kill you...destroy you...it is very tempting. Perhaps if you were somehow smarter and think before you act, you can make something of yourself for this Organization. Take into account a lesson learned, and I will not be patient with it if repeated."

He was not going to stall what he thought of the member. It would take much more than simple pleads to let him accept him the way he wanted to, more so with this Cloud, who he would not consider to be a part of them until there was a very good reason on how he will aid them. Nevertheless, it was time to set his own test in motion. "However...I will allow you this one opportunity. As much as I do not think you deserve it. Your Soul belongs to me. Failure will result in the death of not only your supposed 'friend', but your eradication as well. I can kill you with one snap of a finger, Number Nine. You can be imprisoned forever in the depth of Darkness and despair if I think it was right. You are on a thin line. Go ahead and do what you wish, and speak to me when you are ready. Other things are more important to deal with for the moment. I have spoken. There is only the option to succeed. If the goal is not reached, you are informed of the consequences."

With that, and a last hard, emotionless look, he portalled out permanently, leaving the ninth member there to think of what was said as he transported to the labs in the underground of the building.





"Of course you did..." Larxene drawled out almost goofily to him in answer, the alcohol affecting her tone as she looked where she was going, her vision somehow distorted and swaying, but she was walking just fine. So she was just fine. Slipping her hold from Axel's wrist down to his hand, she grasped it, finding that it fitted just right with hers as she was quite more bolder than ever in her intoxicated movements, and led the way outside of the dark and eerie alley into the open town. It was night, and it was quite late, it seemed, as not many people were walking, or it wasn't as crowded as it should be in the city. From what she last remembered. And as she looked at the inky black sky almost dizzily, she could tell it was clouded. Thick, tight, gray clouds, blocking any rays of the moon, leaving it nothing, but a blanketed dull space. It was not because her sight was a blur, but, she could feel it was going to rain. It was strange that she didn't sense it before when she got here...but she could feel the energy within her tingle more, as if static was meeting static, and she was aware, even when drunk, that it was a sign of a brewing storm, which made her understand more why the town was so empty. The fact that it was getting colder, and the wind was picking up, proved it all the more. Giggling randomly, placing her free hand over her mouth, she continued down the sidewalk now that they were there, passing apartments, and small stores along the way, not having any idea where she was going. Or if she was supposed to make the right or left turn. Whichever the case, there had to be a hotel nearby, and so she took the chance. As they trudged on, her steps forming to a very tiny skip, she hummed to herself, her balance sometimes wobbling, but able to use the support Axel brought with their clasp hands as a crutch in the right time. It was a short walk to reach the crossroads of streets, that was divided and separated into different intersections, and there she was kind of stumped. Admittedly. As she glanced around, though, she spotted the sign of a hotel across the street, which had a big, nice, and expensive sign for people not to miss, and she pointed straight at it, triumphantly, "Hotel! It's gonna thunderstorm soon...so we hafta...get there..."

The shout sounded muffled, but feeling very prideful that she had managed to find one by luck, as she couldn't recall where some of the rest were, she began to head straight into the crossing line to walk over there, forcing Axel with her in a rough tug of excitement, not seeing whether the traffic light was green or red, and not minding the, while lower numbered, cars.

 

Standing his ground, the melodious nocturne cringed at every horrible word he heard representing what Xemnas thought of him. Perhaps he was just upset a tad and was taking his resentment out on him, but along the whole speech of critisism the water youth kept his attention into full view not once taking his clearly departed lively eyes off of the glowing orange orbs of doom. "I hate it when he glares at me like that. I really am nothing to him, but at least I still exist for the time being. Man I wish the boss did have his heart then he could see how cruel and harsh he is being on me." Demyx had to shut his eyes not able to stand the horrible truth, as he shook his head getting rid of the remarks that echoed in his mind. "No it's not true." With his hands crossed in back of him, he could only show his deep sorrow by starring at the ground. "Now he really is acting like a father," he tried to make himself smile as the lecture or the death threats kept coming forth. When the matter seemed bleak and the nocturne felt he would get it in the end, there was a disappearance as Xemnas had left. Demyx sighed with a gasp of relief, his hand hitting his forhead as he fell to his knees and sat on the ground.
"Ok then that didn't go so well as I hoped, but at least I'm free for now," he reassured himself this as he knew Xemnas meant every word he said. It scared him to no end just hearing every single word come out of his mouth. "So that is what he really thinks of me? Then if he did mean his words of death why is he giving me another chance? Is he testing me? Demyx pondered these ideas in his head. After he rested, he staggered to his feet only to hear his friend's voice on the outside. "He's out there," a swirl of darkness engulfed him as he departed from the empty room and appreared before his friend.

Cloud was ready for the attack, ready to slice his buster sword through that evil nobody who had imprisoned his friend. Glaring at the dark void and with his weapon raised, he brought it down realizing it was none other than the one he had put everything on the line to save. "Demyx! You're alive and you're not hurt," he greeted him with a friendly hug. "I was worried about you and came back here to come to your rescue. What did he do to you?" Cloud released his hold, standing in a posture that seemed he was going to pass out.

Demyx embraced the hug being the second one to let go. "He clearly threatened me and chose not to end my life. He's up to something Cloud and I don't want any harm to come to you. I'm on thin ice which means one more slip up and it could be imprisonment or my execution," he gasped nearly freaking out for he remembered what Xemnas's grave words were. "He's going to kill me. I'm not safe here and either are you. I can't let him ever capture me again otherwise that could be my end. I explained everything that had happend and he called me a mistake," tears formed in Demyx's eyes as his fake emotions were seeping through. His body convulsated, with his chest heavy with pressure caused him to cough. "I don't want to die. I don't deserve any of this torture especially when he said that I'm a disgrace as well." The hidden sorrow was unleashed and he pounded his fists on Cloud's chest wailing at the top of his lungs while his friend consoled him by rubbing his back.

"That son of a *****," Cloud snarled under his breath. "Who in their right mind would dare speak to you like that? You don't know need him or anyone else in this pitiful organization. That's how I feel about it right now. Why continue to live in more pain and agony Demyx when you can just leave with me permantely never to be tortured again?" He patted him on his back and waited for his friend to stop crying.

Demyx gazed into Cloud's furious blue eyes. "Because he owns my soul Cloud. He even said so himself. I''m never going to be free from him. I was created to be nothing, but his slave. If I leave permantely then I will be pronouced as a traitor and then he'll send someone else to bring me back or get rid of me on the spot. I can't have that." With tears flowing down his cheeks, he wiped his cheek on Cloud's black shirt. "I can't betray him not after he gave me life. I owe it to him to be loyal no matter how terriable he treats me. I'm doomed in any way you see," he felt his life had been destined to bring him misery and he had to accept it.

The blond warrior thought of Demyx's words agreeing with what he said even though his heart told him otherwise. He did not want to lose his newest friend on account of a tyrant. "Demyx, I know what you're going through. You're clearly damned if you and damned if you don't. I relate to that on so many levels," he looked down at the ground. "Sephiorth has taken everything away from me!" Cloud's anger errupted as he stomped his foot and swung his arm out forcefully. "He took my friend Zack, he took my happiness and he took my own will. Forever I'm haunted by his presence lurking somewhere in the shadows. Forever I'm fearful of that sword of his piercing me in the chest as he once did before Zack died. Forever I'am resentful that he is a part of me and people in the towns don't see me for who I am. I'm treated like garbage there just as you are treated with disrespect by Xemnas and the rest of the organization all because of your different views. Sephirtoh has poisoned my mind and has altered my thinking in a way I thank him for showing me what humanity can be like."

Demyx placed his hand on his shoulder. "Now you see my dilemma and I see yours. I had a feeling when I first met you that there was this hidden rage, bitter sadness and broken dreams in your life. I saw it through your eyes Cloud. That is why you and I can relate on so many levels. We're both tortured by forces we can't control, we're both in fear of the unknown and so we remain in the darkness where we belong, yet reaching and seeking out that light that will one day shine upon us," Demyx raised his arm up reaching for the heavens. "But now we have to accept what is happening and my next mission is to help you. I can now see how we met. One day we will be free. We just have to stick together my friend." To himself he was preparing a plan one that might test this lost soul that he had acquired. He would show Xemnas how creative his methods were through the art of manipulation. He would prove that he was a member of the organization after all.

In a burst of exhileration, he brought his sitar forward having it burst through the a crystal bubble of hope. Setting it to the right tempo "Now listen and feel the music". Dancing from foot to the other, his hips twirled about to the beat. Jumping into the air, he pranced about the area having his dancers appear and sing the chorus in their once female voices when they were human, be it only a fantasy, his art of manipulation with his water made them glow and have their voices be heard as the ones they once were for a temporary period of time. "Can you feel it? Can you see how we must keep fighting and not give up. What we do in life it goes an enternity. We can not let anyone let our hopes get us down. Ourselves are our only enemy. No one controls our free will. We may both have our souls owned, but they can't ever stop us from how we feel no matter how much they try." His cries of triumph rang true, his heart beating rapidly one without true feelings, but the sole connection that they once were there.

Cloud brought himself listing to the words of encouragement, the beat ringing true in his own heart causing his whole calm serious demeanor to seek to a side he once was when he was forever filled with joy and pride, the days before Sephiroth took over his life. Taking his side next to Demyx, he backed up against the musician feeling Demyx's words ring true in his heart. "We can't ever give in, no matter what. We may be trapped forever in despair, but this will not be our end. We may have to do what we have to surive, but there is nothing that anyone can ever take away from us and that is our spirit!" His voice bellowed through the halls. Demyx's manipulation through song was like a trance putting Cloud into another mindset one that he believed to be true.

"And we are free, as one can be, you and me
Let the music guide you, let me help you
No need to shed those innocent tears
As I am one that can hide you from your fears

from everything that pulls your spirits down
Knowing all of these memories that you have found
Water washes the sadness, the waves carry out
your cries for no one listens and you dwell upon doubt
But I will always be there, to lead you into through
For there is nothing you and I can't ever do

And we are free, as one can be, you and me
Let the music guide you, let me help you
No need to shed those innocent tears
As I am one that can hide you from your fears.

Cloud began to harmonize, his voice hitting several chords as he was doing something he had never done. He wasn't himself. He was ensared in Demyx's melodious perfromance, one that held dire emotion. He closed his eyes hearing the words vibrate in his head, altering his very way of thinking. His blue eyes were dazed, what looked like a empty reflection. He was the victim of a siren casting his magical spell over him.

Demyx knowing Cloud had fallen under his musical act, lifted up the warrior's spirits, his voice resonating througout the halls. "That is the spirit Cloud. Now shout it to the rooftops. Sing to your heart's desire. Let my music move you. Let it take away your fears and regrets. Do not the fear the unknown. Live for today and don't wallow in the past! Forget those that dare stare upon you. Cast those aside that shunned you. Capture the very heart of my music," his water twirled about in columns, geysers spraying through the ground errupting several times. Dancing over to his servants, he sung the chorus with his dancers, their eeerie voices still sounding like woman with gutso singing a triumphatic sad melody. His voice rose higher, holding a single note as his diaphram expanded, having the heavenly tune reach to great heights.

 

Xioimara sighed with irritation seeing that she was simply being ignored. She glared at him and sighed loudly to gain his attention but halted her sad attempt to get attention from this icy scientist. She felt another presence, Xioimara felt her breath cut short and she turned his eyes to look at Xemnas. The Superior. And these were the times she wished people, or in her case, Nobodies, were able to express body language better. Xioimara felt her nerves shave, and she almost backed down. She halted and the thought that she was no longer part of the organization. Trying to stay relaxed Xioimara backed up a few steps to bring both Xemnas and Vexen into her vision. The sharpie she wanted to use to draw on Vexen with was being flexed back-and-fourth through her fingers. She knew better than to ignore the leaderXemnas. Half of her told her with every inch of her body to throw herself down and beg for forgiveness but the other half of her. Her pride. The one damned thing that could never leave her personality. With or without a Heart. She had a soldier side and she was going to let it shine today. Maybe her last. She didn't know.

She just hoped it would be worth it.

Xioimara turned towards Xemnas and tried to make eye-contact with him. "And this is what the cat dragged in..." She finally said, finally able to breath again. She was referring to herself. She wanted to be in the Organization. She would do anything to get back in, besides bow down. Or admit she had failed or that she was 'sorry'. It was a pathetic way through life. "I'm not going to get on my knees and beg for forgiveness if that is what you are going to expect of me. I fight till the end. And the end only. I will leave now without blood if that is honestly what you insist. Only if I know Demyx is and will be okay." She started, and went quiet.
This was her apology: "But I stand here now." She said. "War is war. I'm not longer on your side, as it is official. Nor Sora's. I came here to serve under you, Xemnas. I have no intentions of saying anything. Now, if I may, can I leave now? Without," She looked at Vexen. "Fighting." She took a breath and opened her mouth to speak but shut it. She met Xemnas' eyes and waited for his answer.

 

(OOC: Leon needs someone to get him back home. Either Xioimara or Vexen. He can't just go into the cooridor of darkness as he is not protected or aided. The darkness would take him.)

Leon starred at both Xioimara and Vexen as he starred at the open portal that could take him home. He had ran in the chances are that the darkness would hinder him and claim as one of its own. Perhaps he could get killed by it. Cloud, could do it because he had darkness from Sepiroth, but the brunette did not have darkness just a hatred against his rival Seifer. "Will someone please get me home?" He asked interrupting the nobodies though he froze when he saw Xenmas.


Axel noticed the wind pick up as well as it swept through his spiky fiery locks and cloak. He noticed that the clouds were setting in the horrible thing was that he dreaded was that it was going to rain and he wasn't prepared for it. He knew this was not a good thing especially with having the fire element such as him. He could tolerate the rain, but he hated to get wet. He only used water if he absolutely had no choice such as showering and drinking it. Once in a while the beach was fine for him,and the ocean, but that was about it. He starred into the dark sky and the clouds shifting as if he felt the droplets of the water on him. He didn't panik, but he didn't like it as well. He gritted his teeth as if almost afraid his eyes widen a bit as he felt more drips of it splattering on his cloak. His vision seeing the bright lights or even neons of blinding cars zipping across the intersection. Everyone was always in a hurry it seem like. He waited patiently for the crossing to let them do so, but was not prepared of was going to happen next. When they had began crossing he was oblivious in a fact when he noticed that a car had dangerously was inches of hitting them. "Oh sh*t! You are going to kill us! " He exclaimed. As the car screeched loudly as the driver put on his breaks. He closed for a moment as if not being aware they were actually in the road as the honking then pushed his mind back to reality as he was caught out of total surprise realizing that Larxene had dilterally shoved them into traffic when the light was red with thosands of cars honking or speeding up crashes being mixed in. He avoided them all, as he ran with her his hands still gripped into her tightly pulling her with him as he avoided situation of getting killed, doing flips over the car hoods or even rolls to avoid getting hit. He even zip zagged as some of the drivers thought it was a game to to purposely think they were playing chicken and purposely tried to ram them. It was a huge nightmare to see that he couldn't defend himself because there was no way he could summon his weapons without the freedom of his hands. He was still debating on why Larxene had actually wanted to cross when it clearly was not safe. For a couple of seconds he noticed how delusion that she seemed with her swaying and knew that she was not in her own state of mind, but still he wanted to trusted her. Perhaps he should lead, but he couldn't do it until they were out of the way of the traffic.


"Hey you two loonies watch where you are going? You are going to get yourself killed!" One driver replied angerily giving them both the finger.

"Shut up! Your self. You******! Axel growled giving the man the same treatment that he had did to him. This is why he hated humans. No damn respect. If this is the way people were meant to be then what good would it be to try to claim a heart. Perhaps their own world of being complete was too warped.
Once they were out of the traffic he rested for a few mintutes trying to catch his breath and then eyed the hotel than Larxene had mentioned earlier before they walked out of traffic. Sighing in relief he noticed the rain had began to pour down on them. This was the last straw. He was now soaking wet as the thunder storms began risng down on them which was not good for him or Larxene. It could affect their powers. "Are you that insane. We could of gotten killed. Now I am soaken wet. You do know too much water can harm us right?" he started slapping her lightly to try to get her out of her silly mood.

 

Xioimara side-glanced at Leon. She had to take care of him. She didn't want to displease Xemnas nor get the reputation of a coward. Xioimara narrowed her eyes a little as she kept her focus on Leon from the corner of her eyes.

'Don't worry. Fear is just a tool used to manipulate the weak.' She thought, trying in vain at the same time to somehow give the message to Leon. It was a fail but she wanted to at least make the atmosphere a little less tense.
Enough was enough.

She was being a coward by trying to keep quiet.

"Don't worry, Leon." She said to him and smiled at him for a moment and then turned her attention back to Xemnas and Vexen. "This will only take a few minutes. I'm sure one of them will send you back. Xemnas isn't one to lie. I can tell you that. Or else he wouldn't be such a strong leader to come back to power twice." Xioimara said to Leon. A relaxed expression coming over her face. She knew this was it. This would be the end. Whether or not she was killed here or not. This was the end.

"Hitler couldn't even pull off such a feat. He hid. This guy doesn't. He'll get you back home if I can't." Xioimara tried to reassure. She still had some trust left in Xemnas. He didn't seem like one to lie. She looked at Vexen and sighed for a moment.
"I don't know about this guy." She said indicating Vexen with a nod of her head. "He sounds insane. No offense." Xioimara said to Vexen, managing to keep this situation light-hearted.

"You sound like a crazy hag with that cackle." She said and sighed. It was easy to see Xemnas wasn't pleased and Vexen-he seemed to be ignoring. Something tempted her to smack the Chilly Academic but she held back. Xioimara felt she had done enough and returned her attention back to Xemnas and Xemnas only. Vexen and Leon could blow up the room around her and she would keep her focus on him. This was his decision. She wanted the answer, whether it came by word or by attack.

Just so long he answered.

 

Once Demyx ended his song, Cloud felt that he was transfixed and had another view of life. He felt lighter, the weight of guilt upon his soul had been lifted. "Demyx thanks for that," he replied to his friend. He observed that they were still in the castle and he was surprised that no one had heard their performance and perhaps it was a good thing too. If Leon saw or heard his out of character performance, he would surely find something wrong and would probaly lecture him to death about it. Suddendly his mind began to focus as he remembered his friend. "Leon is still looking for me. You must help me find him." Cloud touched Demyx's shoulder letting him know how important his friend was to him. He picked up his weapon that was leaning against the wall and readied himself in case lower nobodies were to attack him. He was off his guard, not his fault of course since his mind was caught in the moment, but now he was fully alert and knew what was going on. Cloud didn't have any more time to waste since his friend could in serious danger. Who knows what he was facing alone and what about Sora? Was he still all right? Sora had a keyblade and could defend himself easily against nobodies, but Leon wasn't so foruntate. It was vital to get to Leon as soon as possible.

Demyx swayed his sitar to the side as the dancers instantly vanished once the song was over. Boy did that feel relaxing and made him want to do it more often. Cloud was indeed under the spell when he played his music, but now the blond warrior was thinking more clearly. The water wielder had released Cloud's worries from the most part and made him think of something besides his own troubles and past. That song was exactly what the human needed. Demyx felt the warmth of Cloud's hand and he smiled upon him glad to have a friend like him. "I know you're worried about Leon and we'll find him. I want to talk to him anyway. Perhaps he will change his opinion about me and not judge me so harshly," he began to walk with Cloud up the stairs. "Where do you think Leon would be anyway?"

Cloud touched his comlink, the buttons flashed rapidly as he entered a sequence. "I'm trying to find him as we speak and his location seems to be on another floor with some other presences." His hand touched his right side as he smoothed out the layered black cloth he wore on his right side.

Demyx paced around and thought about what Cloud said. "It looks like some other organization members are probably with Leon which is not a good sign. Come with me," he opened up a void and took his hand leading him through the Corridors of Darkness. Out of the otherside, a portal emerged with Demyx and Cloud now in front of Xioimara, Vexen Xemnas and Leon. "Hmmm... it looks like we arrived at the correct place," he cringed when he saw Xemnas and smiled in a guilty fashion. "You said to do what ever," he reminded Xemnas of what he said to him earlier. "I'm only doing as you asked oh great Superior," he felt the tension was high in the air as he gazed upon Xioimara. "So it looks like the secret is out huh?" he said softly to her.

Cloud kept his guard up in case any of the nobodies were to attack him. Stepping closer to Demyx he motioned for Leon to come close to him. "Leon I'll explain everything. But right now you need to come with me," he reached out his hand. "I don't want you to get hurt by any of them," he glared at Vexen and Xemnas. "Especially him," he pointed his sword at Xemnas until Demyx got in the way of it making him lower it.

Demyx shook his head and avoiding the blade of the buster sword. "Cloud don't threaten my boss in anyway. I know you hate what happened to me, but you still should not upset him. The boss has great power," he touched the hilt of Cloud's sword having him lower it more. "Boss, hi, uh... It's a force of habit for him. You know how humans are, but Cloud has changed in more ways then one. He is not a threat to someone as powerful and mightly as you," he bowed his head in respect to Xemnas.

 

OOC: Spell checking is quite tedius for me >.>. But worth it to make sure there are no typos and mispelling. Might post randomly without double checking one of these days.

All of it went truly fast for her intoxicated, dizzy mind to take in. She was walking blindly, and then the next thing she knew, there were tires running among the coaled, black road to her, bright headlights making her wince her eyes slightly. It was too much of a difference between the night and a blare of shine to quickly get used to. And it gave her a headache due to the alcohol consumed. A loud, squealing shriek of rubber met her ears clearly, her lungs halting from breathing in the process, her brain, despite it being slow, picking up on what that meant as she recoiled. Or rather, in fighting instinct, blocked. Uselessly. However, nothing hit her, and she glanced back up to see that the driver had stopped in time, looking rightly and highly furious. But it was there that Axel began to pull her deep into the streets, other cars rushing by past them, honking, and some screeching to stop, while she unknowingly just let herself be taken throughout the whole hazardous zone without thinking too much about it. Unable to think about. Her adrenaline was rushing, though, when she felt vehicles coming to her, appearing as if they were about slam her, only to then roll over in action to avoid it, and moved by the redhead. This just made her vision spin...having her feel sick to her stomach as a consequence, and closely tripping too many times as she was lost in the midst of the swirls. It was this way...the whole time, her breathing becoming quite ragged as she was wondering what the hell were they doing as they dug more into the stray of motors, until they finally made it into the other end of the sidewalk. Or at least, that's what she could deduce as she blankly stared at her surroundings, no more brightness, no more sounds, and it was silence. There were no cars to pummel through them either. And the hotel was closer. Regaining her bearings, as she had gotten dazed, and was swaying dangerously enough to fall to the ground, she shut her eyes, waiting for the whole world to stop whirling. It took a moment for it to pause as she reopened her eyes slowly, head tilted, and she childishly peeked over to the sky in a clumsy manner, feeling droplets of cool water hitting her cloak and skull...going steady, before, like any other type of rain, picking up in speed and amount. She somehow heard Axel shouting and cursing at someone unimportant, but that didn't matter as she was enthralled by the wet pour that became stronger and heavier, really drenching her to the bone as her blonde locks became a deep yellow as they damped, outfit soaking as the shower of liquid pummeled upon them, body completely dripping and soggy now. She licked her rinsed lips, a huge, happy grin on her face as this made her somewhat excited in anticipation. She could feel the tingle of the electricity calling into the lightning that was just about to flash across the clouds, her skin getting goosebumps in preparation as certain sparks of blue and yellow randomly coiled around her in response. Definite thunder storm, despite that she couldn't see her clearly due to her hazy sight. She was so focused on it, that she was caught off guard when someone tapped her in the cheek...the kind that some usually did when trying to wake others up from their sleep. Her blue orbs shifted to Axel, almost like her usual self as her expression demanded a explanation for touching her that way, though she giggled in amusement when he said that too much water can harm them. It did not harm her. Of course, if she was in the midst of a whole bunch of water that she was encased in, sure. The worst was that she will get short-circuited to a small extent, something she could recover from easily anyway if given the opportunity. Lightning was her element, her existence and body wasn't completely made by it, if at all, and in turn, she was immune. The same way Axel's fire didn't burn him, she confirmed to herself. Otherwise, she could care less! It was him that didn't like it. It was funny to see someone dislike something such as the rain, because it was nice. It was there she laughed out of place again, her hand covering her mouth as she just went to look back up at the sky again, the electricity flowing in static. She exclaimed, very drunkenly, "What you talking about?! It's fun! It won't hurt me. I'm Larxene."

It was as if that very name was explanation enough to have it make sense, because she stepped away from him in a reasonable distance. Just when spirals of lighting...small, thin strings of two dropped down on her arms, making the outline of her full figure glow as she twirled around in awe, eyes flashing a blueish white as it gleamed, making her irises and pupils disappear in a empty canvas as her body charged up. If it was like being on a high. To the point where she was literally almost floating off the ground as the bottom of her cloak flowed, the rain showering down on her. She giggled again. "Isn't it pretty?! Thunder only happens when it's raining..."




Needless to say, he did not expect with having to deal with Xioimara when he came down to the lab in such a way as it was now once he had materialized underground. He had sensed her, certainly, as well as the intruder, yet he was expecting that she would simply talk about why she was released, instead of actually, while vague, fighting to stay. He had wanted to see Vexen, speak to him about his message before, and discuss what happened recently. Unfortunately, it was not to be so. He knew that the girl had gotten the message of her not being a part of their Organization any longer for reasons she knew terribly well, and thus, why she was staring at him as if deciding. He flicked his eyes over to the elder scientist momentarily, and did not bother to pay attention to the other person in the room, in case his patience was cut, and he ended up destroying him. He did not like people that did not belong in his territory, and he kept pondering if he should have killed Demyx, and have him gone because of this factor. The one at fault for all this. Nonetheless, he waited for her to finish what she was saying in mild interest, face blank and emotionless. Listening to her explanation as she opened her mouth, he merely stood still, acknowledging her with nothing, but a unreadable expression. Ah. So she did want to stay, as predicted. There were many things to come from that. She did not do much idiotic actions as the ninth member had done to warrant imprisonment, and she was fairly new. Still, he was not going to let people who disobeyed, and took their own paths, to be let off easy, despite when there wasn't much fault. No. She played a part. If she thought this was going to be perfectly crisp and clean to excuse, she was mistaken. Traitorous movements were not taken lightly by him at all, and if he did not have a plan for Demyx, and his new delusion, they would be missing a member. He remained silent otherwise, studying the girl with a more hard, sharp glint in his orange eyes. He frowned visibly as the man, Leon was what he was called, distracted the stagnant air by saying he wished to go home. And it was there he turned to eye him. If he had wished so, he would not have been here. And Xioimara's actions to him made him question her more thoroughly. It wasn't until it was quiet again that he finally responded, voice monotone, yet, with a edge. "Frankly, if a fight occurs, then you will not make it out of here alive, I assure you. It is hard for me to believe you, or to keep you here in the premises. You have shown that you can be distrustful without even being here for a hour or so, and for that, you need to prove yourself. Truly. His eyes stroke the light maliciously. "It is indeed...I do not know you well enough, but if you are going to follow into other people's actions, which are foolish, and things you should know better, I do not know how are you going to be useful for this group if this is what I am to expect from you. You are also with our enemies. I know. Trespassers into my property, that you had helped get in, and the fact that you ask how Demyx is, appears pathetic. If you are going to trail after his stupidity, and join him, then you are just a useless to me and this organization as he is, or has become. How would you ever rise from your obvious mistakes, that I am sure you were warned of, it is something to be questioned. Is this how the future will be if I keep you? Disobeying? Doing things you should not do? There are rules and policies to be kept. If you cannot handle it, you can rightly leave, and never come back. You are lucky that this is all that you are getting, because I am being merciful to both you and Demyx, when I should not be. If it were up to me, you will all return to be nothing, and drown in the pits of darkness whence you came."

He truly did not know how he was to be convinced that she will be a great addition to the cause. She was too prideful, even though Nobodies were not suppose to feel such a thing, something that keeps being forgotten, but understood why. And she seemed to do things her own way. Which was not possible when you were under someone's reign. It was like a loose cannon. Now that this reply was over, however, he was about to deal with the other male, before he swerved his direction at the air suddenly, waiting for something to appear. A black void, as if on cue, materialized, and out came the mullet haired man, and his companion. There was a pause as he searched them with his sight. He was not pleased, to be truthful. Which was why he coldly gazed at the water wielder, hearing him compliment him with respect. Nevertheless, he was not going to fall for it, and this would not have his mistakes to be erased. He did not find the blond man a threat either, so he merely glared at him darkly, not at all fazed by his sword that he had come to aim at him, pondering if he should make him die. He was not going to deal with that attitude, and his toleration was gone. And if Demyx decided to join him in his demise, he was free to do so. It was When everyone did not say anything for a while, that he stated, "The act will not be committed again for both of your sakes. I have no qualms in destroying anyone who stands in my way. Number Nine, it seems that you always do the things that I do not want you to. So far, you are failing on your worth. I am debating whether it was a right decision to keep you alive." He did not bother much on focusing with the two, looking back at Leon once more. "As for you, I would actually prefer it if you all leave the castle. I do not want you here as much as you do not want to be here. Impudent pests are not in the equation. Demyx here, will make a pathway to get you back, considering he is to be blame for the situation, and should be the one to fix his mess. I have important matters to attend to, and I rather not be delayed. Or have a crowd in the laboratory."

 

Xioimara focused on Xemnas. That was is it? She could just leave...? Xioimara nodded to him. She was aware at that moment she definitely had some guardian angel to watch over her. She could all ready tell that she would be dead in a matter of seconds if she ever dared to challenge Xemnas. She wasn't an idiot to try such a thing either.

Xioimara's gaze shifted to Demyx and Cloud as they came into the picture. She didn't react. No need to. Normally she would probably lash out at Demyx but something seemed to hold her back. Maybe atmosphere or the Nobodies that inhabited the laboratory at the moment. Something held her calm when she knew she would normally feel a burning desire to gut whoever dared enter the perimeter of this room. Xioimara didn't move as Xemnas turned his attention to Demyx. 'Is he...Apologizing?' Xioimara thought seeing Demyx was already trying to greet Xemnas as leader and wanted back in.

That was it.

That was the trigger. Xioimara lost respect for Demyx.

She was no longer in this Organization. Once Xemnas finished speaking Xioimara spoke, "Cloud, Leon," She called to them in a firm but controlling voice, "I'll take them back." Xioimara said to Xemnas. She brushed her bangs away from her right eye after she finished her sentence and looked at Demyx for a moment. 'They have more pride than that at least...' Xioimara thought and turned her back to Demyx and towards the portal Vexen had opened up before.

"Let's go." She encouraged to them, her eyes seemed more serious as she looked at Cloud and Leon from where she stood by the portal. If Demyx dare spoke she was starting to feel the urge to attack. The moments of air that kept her calm were gone. She lost her Heart to someone because they were a suck up and afraid of their own shadow. Xioimara knew that much. She didn't want to end up losing her life and if this were Demyx, she had no need to be around him and was ready to be sent back into her old life without the chance of being held up. Xioimara could barely remember anything else of the World she came from other than that she lost her Heart in a fight to protect her friend that had no self-respect for herself and it was sad, she could remember, wondering why she stood by such a person. Her friend was just... 'A whore..'


Fighting.

Drugs.

Alcohol.

Selling yourself out.

"Let's go." Xioimara said once more to Cloud and Leon in a firm and warningful voice. The thoughts of her past sinking in. Xioimara now knew what she was going back to. Nothing meaningful. For now she just wanted to get Cloud and Leon back home.



Xigbar fixed his sight on Sora. This fight was over. Whether Sora wanted it to be or not. He wasn't reacting and Xigbar saw no point to keeping up a useless battle. Xigbar gun arrows disappeared from his hands and Xigbar kept his focus on Sora. "There's no use to this. Here's something I would like to know, why exactly are you here?" Xigbar asked Sora, leaning back slightly as he awaited his answer. If it was just for Cloud, he would have better luck just turning around and running home. He had sensed Cloud's presence disappear from the Castle and reappear. "They are obviously here for a reason and you'd best be praying for your life now because the Superior has them now from my guessing." Xigbar said to Sora.

He would be out of luck if Xigbar was right. Leon, Cloud, Xioimara, Demyx, Vexen and Xemnas. If Xemnas got off on the wrong leg Xigbar didn't doubt for one moment he'd rid of Xioi, Leon, Cloud and Demyx. Vexen was probably on Xemnas' side. He hadn't seen him running along with any of the three and it was unlike Vexen to ever go along to borders of treachery. With Demyx is was plausible. Demyx was an odd ball like that.

 

Cloud did not like to be commanded around especially by some other stranger he had just recently encountered before. Becoming more determined he scoffed and shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere with you! Cloud pointed his sword at her. "How do I know you won't lead me to my doom? Do you take me for a damn fool? Demyx has proven himself to me and I trust him, but you on the other hand are nothing, but a hypocrite. I've seen people like you before. The way you looked at him now was a lot different than the way you looked at him before. You were friendly and you even used your power to get me out of the way of that nobody with the one eye, Xigbar I think his name is. You shouldn't treat your friends like that especially those that are higher than you. And you risked your life to protect me only to get in trouble in the end. Leave him out of this. He has done nothing to you. You made the choice to go along with hiding me and keeping the secret and now you have to face the consequences." Cloud was not afraid of anyone and would speak his mind even if it was blunt. He gazed at Leon and directed his order to him. "Don't go with her. Stay with me. You can't trust her. She's a turn coat by the way she acts. She will act all weird and playful and then become what she is now a bossy girl who didn't get her way."

Demyx swayed back in forth as he heard the Superior's words and how hurtful they were, but he didn't have a heart so it was to be expected. "Boss can we just come to reason please? You heard what I had to say and I still think its a good idea to go with my plan. It is how I will prove myself to you. Don't blame Xioimara on this. It was all my fault and I didn't think any of this would be a big deal," he spoke the truth and looked at her upset at how the events were turning out to be. "I know I can't change what I've done and if the members have lost respect for me then that is their own choice. I will not be a traitor for I'm far better than that. I'm still loyal no matter what anyone says." His gaze pierced Xioimara as he made her portal disappear like it was nothing. "No, Cloud is right. With the way you're speaking to him in a serious tone I wouldn't be surprised if you have some kind of trick up your sleeve. I don't know you as well as Xigbar, but after you attacked him to make a diversion for Cloud and I to escape I thought that you did have respect for me, but now from what Cloud is saying you're choosing to be someone I don't even want to know and so you'll have to figure that all on your own." He stood there crossing his arms starring down at her like she was a child. "I'm dissappointed in you and I don't blame you for your involvement in the plan, but what really upsets me is how you see me as and the nerve you had to escort Leon and Cloud home by taking away the order the boss gave to me. That is underminding my authority and I will not tolerate that. He told me to do it not you so stay out of it and let me fix my own mess like the boss said."

 

"Are you serious?" Xioimara said looking at Cloud and Leon, her eyes narrowed as Demyx spoke. He thought he could control her.
"What the point of following after you if you are just throwing your pride away?!" She threatened and looked up at Demyx, he was taller but not by much. Maybe a foot or two. She was only five foot two but had the willpower of a full grown fighter. "I didn't think you," Xioimara pointed at Demyx for a moment, "Were such a suck up to someone that we don't even have to follow any more! There's no use in trying to be a man because you aren't one at all. You are a mere coward. I think I have more bravery than you now. Let alone pride. I don't degrade myself!" She said back to him, she didn't even know who she was herself anymore. Nor did she care. It was like Deja Vu.
"I don't follow people like that! I don't even trust people like that!" Xioimara said in a louder voice, this was bringing up the demon in her. From the past and she was beginning to know it but wasn't going to begin to stop. "I lost my damn Heart because of people who think they can degrade themselves and STILL maintain pride or a good friendship! It only saves YOUR ass from facing your own mistakes!" She breathed, "If you don't trust me then it's your own loss, and don't you dare try to look down on me." Xioimara warned Demyx and kept her stare in his eyes. Ready for a fight if it were to break out and not holding back. She knew she was a fighter and her past rang up of it. She was committed to the fights too and it was always a fight for the death or until the other backed down. This was no different. If anything, worse. She wasn't going to let eye contact go until Demyx spoke and then the conversation would be over. Whatever happened, happened. If this conversation just ended then she would leave on her own.

 

OOC: I would say Demyx is a lot taller than Xioimara. He's just a tad shorter than Axel and the fire wielder is tall.)

Cloud comtemplated an idea in his head as she was speaking to him and his other friends. "Should I just strike her without warning or let this girl continue to abuse my friend like this?" He had seen right through her and had hit the nail on the head in his mind. She was speaking like she had something to hide and even brought up her own past and he was expecting her to lash out physically, but he remained calm and spoke with reason over his own thoughts and she could accept it or not. "Listen to yourself go on and on about yourself. You speak of pride? Nobodies aren't supposed to feel pride are they? They are not supposed to feel anything though Demyx seems to act more human than any of you." It didn't matter to him at all. She was getting on his nerves and he would attack her only if she provoked and tried to hurt him with the power that she showed him when at a earlier time. Was this nobody even the same person? It was hard to tell and the more he thought about it, the more it festered in his mind about having her talk to his new friend that way. She had no respect at all. "Listen to yourself talk to your boss in that way. The truth comes out that the traitor I see is you. What purpose can Xemnas have to keep you alive when you act this way? You are the one that made the choice to help Demyx and I so it is all on your head if anything. I see your true colors Xioimara," he remembered her name when Demyx introduced her to him when they were in the room with the crystal ball. "You said what you had to say now shut up!" He pointed the sword once more and waved it up and down threatening to use it upon anyone except Demyx and Leon.

Demyx approached Cloud and had him lower his sword against her by touching the hilt once more. He shook his head at him and spoke to him in a serious tone while keeping his eyes on Leon, Xioimara, Vexen and Xemnas. "Cloud, this isn't your fight and I know you can beat her easily and I appreciate your support, but after all this impudent nobody is lower than me and I refuse to be told what to do by a kid," he gritted his teeth after that sentence glaring down at her. "Listen you little brat," he pointed his finger at her, his eyes now dangerously narrowed, "you're proving you're a traitor to the boss right now from what you just said," he placed his hand down. "I fear him all right? There is nothing wrong with that. It's called being prepared and knowing what the Superior could do. You're stupid enough to challenge him only to either be banished or turned into a dusk instead. You speak of pride like you're some high and mighty snob and that no one should ever tell you what to do. Well I have news for ya. You're the lowest member of the organization and you need to know your place you insignificant pest. I have been in the organization a lot longer than you have so shut that vicious mouth of yours you little b****. Know one wants to hear your sob story for we are not supposed to care remember? So do as you wish betray us like you want to for you'll be the coward then." He swung back his hand and threatened to smack her hard across her mouth. With his eyes intent on showing her she was dirt beneath his boots when she spoke to him in such a way, he halted for a moment and brought his hand back down in a warning telling her to simply back the hell off or he will hurt her. He stood by Cloud who wore a smirk glad that she had recieved such a reality check.

 

OoC://-.-'
*emo corner*

BiC://
Xioimara watched as she was called off by Demyx...It flipped something...
'STOP!'
'Move!'
'Whore!'
'Back off'
She was in an alleyway... There was a man with a blade...And her friend...The man grabbed her friend and she screamed, she was scared...
'Have you forgotten your job?!'
'LEAVE HER ALONE!' Xioimara screamed and lunged at the man hurting her friend and in a clash of metal Xioimara jumped back. A metal clinking noise could be heard and then she went forward to tackle the man seeing him go for her friend, he turned and Xioimara tumbled back and tried to slid to the side but was too late.
Knifed...
The scenery changed quickly... A club...The walls were graffitied and the floors had stains of blood. It was packed. People. Men and women. Women dressed to undignify themselves. Some men took advantage of it and some were here for the real entertainment. Fighting.
This was a fightclub.
'I can bet on a dead person against her!'
'Bull! She's good. I've seen it myself.'
It came to her. Xioimara. She was standing in front of a much taller and older man.
'Win and you won't get punished.' He threatened through his teeth, he had a good grip on her wrist. Enough to break it she was sure. He let go roughly and pushed her away...

Xioimara stood still for a moment. Her eyes distant and emotionless and then the life came back. So did the rage. Fake rage.
"YOU GOD DAMN BASTARD! YOU CAN'T USE ME!" She screamed at Demyx. Obviously not in tune. She was thinking she was stuck in the past. With that man. Like she hadn't lost her Heart yet. The hidden blade under her sleeve came into light and she leaned back her knees bent slightly and glared at Demyx and Cloud.
"...If you think for one f****** moment that I'll stand here and let you use me, you're wrong. I'm not going to let you use my friends anymore. They aren't meant to be sold out and this is the end." She threatened, "You put me up against the impossible and then you use me like a toy when you know that you're hurting me and you do this for fun. You have no sanity left and here is ends."

 

(OOC: Woah there partner... I wasn't expecting that. Very nice drama might I add.)

Cloud didn't know what to think as Xioimara had clearly lost her mind. "She has snapped and thinks that we are abusing her?" He saw the knife in her hand and narrowed his weapon upon her. "Go ahead and try to hurt me with that puny little thing. We'll see who wins," he brought his sword close to her throat to scare her. He then backed off for he knew he wasn't going to strike someone who was acting like she had gone off the deep end. "Okay she is clearly losing her mind as I speak." He observed her actions and shook his head taking the knife away from her in a quick haste. "She needs help Demyx," he spoke up placing his sword down. "Stop her before she hurts herself or us."

Demyx's eyes widened for he wasn't expecting that kind of reaction at all. He watched her curse him up and down saying all sort of things and he rose an eyebrow, his expression turned back to normal. "Yeah it looks like she needs serious therapy too." Sighing he bent down towards her and held her fists. "Hey calm down. No one is going to hurt you. Do you even know where you are at?" He let go and summoned a bit of his element and splashed it upon her face to make her come back to reality. "Xioimara! Calm down. It's all right. You were only thinking about your past," his carefree side kicked in as he rubbed her on the back and was there in case she wanted to lean on him for support or tell him what was going on. "Xioimara shh... It's okay," he spoke softly trying to reassure her like he was an older brother that she could look up to.

 

Leon was flipping his head back and forth not realizing what the hell was going on. He saw Demyx argue and then visea versa with Cloud and then Xioimara. The poor guy just wanted to go home and he was getting a huge headache to go along. No more like a migraine. "WELL YOU ALL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK!" he yelled trying to gain their attention. "I don't want to be a part of this anymore and just want to go home. Come on Cloud, even if Demyx is your friend or not, this is not where we live. We don't belong here."

Axel knew that Larxene surely was drunk and off the deep in and he decided that she needed to rest. He was about to argue with her, but saw no point as he felt like he was about to lose his mind. Rain was a bad thing for him in his opinion. Giving up on that he dragged Larxene with him to the hotel with him. The hotel assistance noticed his expression as the flatten haired soaken wet Axel with his hair slicked back because of the water down his back and the water in his face made him look like a lion's mane. He forceibly played with his hair trying to get it to look decent as he roughly placed down a sack of money. "How much is it to get a room?" He asked gritting his teeth.

The hotel person was about to say something about how they looked, but by looking at the pissed expression the red head had leveled on her as if he would kill her. The woman decided against it. "$90 dollars for now. Do you need assistance. Or have a reservation. How many nights are you staying?" She asked.

"No, we are fine, just give me the damn room key. I dont' know yet. I guess we will wait and see." He stated trying to not lose his temper.

The woman nodded as she started typing in her computer waiting a few minutes as Axel started tapping his finger impatiently for the woman to hurry her ass off already. The rain that he came from was cold with the wind and he needed to get the heater going.

"Okay sir," She handed him the room key and the room card which he snatched. "Have a nice stay at the Palm Trees Sunset Paradise." She said smiling brightly like all of them do.


Axel faked a smile as he grabbed the room key with Larxene still attached to his hand and pushed the elevator button. After several minutes the elevator rang and then went in. They could of taken the elevator, but it would be too much of a hassle. Finally he found the correct 2000 something number and opened the door by placing the card in the automatic detector. When it clinked he opened the door and shut it once in the room and turned the heater almost as high as it could go as he observed the thunder storm from the delicate blinds open watching the water pick up rapidly at the glass. A frown following his features from watching it the rain hit the glass windows, but in relief that he was no longer out in that. "At least we are inside!" He stated calming down a bit. He wondered what time it was now. He did not notice how the nice the hotel was that they checked in to as he starred mindlessly at the water.

Xioimara was feeling exhilarated at the thought of a fight and with who else? Her boss... Xioimara was about to lunge forward but felt a cold but soothing element splash on her. Xioimara stood still for a moment, her world felt like it was spinning... And then...Reality.
"Christ!" She cried out seeing Demyx by her. It was mostly his height that startled her. Xioimara jumped back and hit the wall behind her. She was lucky she hadn't hit anything important, just wall. Her memory felt a little foggy and as such, so was her vision. Xioimara halted her steps when Leon spoke up and remained still, her vision focused on everyone as she tried to piece together the momentary events that had occurred moments ago. Her vision was blurry, but was slowly coming back. She decided to stay against the wall and just watch while she tried to relax somewhat.

'Frankly, if a fight occurs, then you will not make it out of here alive, I assure you. '

Xioimara glanced at Xemnas quickly as she recalled what he said minutes before. She could relate to Leon in a way. She just wanted out of this place. Go back to her old home and just relax. Get away from all this. She didn't want to be here anymore. She watched Demyx from the wall mostly. He was too nice. That or he was just trying to save his own ass from a fight. Either way, he had saved her soul.

 

Cloud noticed the reaction she had and he stepped forward thinking she was a total nut case. He had dealt with people like that many times, but what caught him off guard was the yell from his friend Leon. Shaking his head, he didn't want to take the yell personally, but it was so hard not to. Leon had normally never acted like that. Maybe he had a reason for his actions and Cloud assumed once they got back home there would be a long lecture to come from him about everything that has happened. Shifting his weight he leaned forward towards Xioimara to see if she would freak out again. At least she wasn't attacking him and that was always a good thing. To be honest he didn't even feel like fighting for he was concerned about the whole matter with Demyx and what Xemnas had said to him earlier. The leader of the organization was downright cruel and Demyx didn't derserve to be treated with such disrespect, but there was nothing Cloud could do about it. If he tried he would only get blasted in the end or something much worse. He was no match against Xemnas. All he could was speak his mind and hope for the best. Starring at Demyx he crossed his arms wondering what the reaction would be from everyone involved. "Demyx is she going to be okay or does she need any help?" He asked at the last moment for he didn't know why he was being somewhat concerned. Perhaps he could understand by what he saw on her face, the pitiful frightening gaze that he knew all to well from people who gave him particually Sephiroth the same look.

All what was on Demyx's mind at the moment was if Xioimara was going to be okay and what the boss's reaction would be and what about Vexen? Surely he had some snide remark to sneer about. Ignoring Vexen and Xemnas for the meantime, he turned his focus to Cloud whom had asked a question and he seemed to act worried. "Not without someone who can understand or be able to relate." Letting out a deep sigh, his eyes scimmed over Xioimara's horrified expression, one of a lost soul that had been damaged and beaten by another. Her story of her past was beginning to get to him for now instead of having hatred for her for the remarks she had blantly uttered about that he wasn't a man and other nonscense that had hurt him inside, he cast those thoughts inside and wanted to do everything possible to reach out and help the poor girl. What was the best option to help someone whom has been damaged? He hoped that she didn't substain any brain damage from the wall she hit and she reminded him of a scared puppy or kitten that had been abused. Offering his hand out, he hoped she would grab it. "Xioimara, it's okay. No one is going to hurt you. Please trust me. I want to help you," his eyes were sincere and his tone was soft and friendly.
