Xion awoke in a cold sweat, her chest heaving from her ragged breath. these dreams were becoming more and more frequent. Skinning out of her sweaty coat, she stepped over to her small closet to fetch a new one. Pausing for a moment, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her body was changing. It wasn't very prominent, but it was definitely noticeable. Her coat had become tighter around her chest, and her shoes were slightly too small now. Her pants were fine. At the advice of Larxene, she had opted to wear tights instead of the standard jeans that the men wore. Her reasons had been horribly predictable.
"Well, first off, they stretch, so no matter how you move, they move with you. Second, they are a LOT sexier than..." with a sneer, she pointed at Xion's legs. "Those..."
"But... why do I need to be sexier? And... what does 'sexier' mean?" Xion asked, tilting her head, puzzled. Being new to the organization, and new in general, she didn't really know much at all about clothes, or anything else, for that matter.
Larxene leaned down, resting a hand on Xion's shoulder. As she started whispering in her ear, Xion's face grew redder and redder. Standing back up straight, she laughed wildly at Xion's expression. As she gave Xion the tights, she grinned and rushed off to go on her missions for the day.
"I... Need to be sexier for you?"
She glanced at the clock. 5 o'clock. Too late to go back to bed, but still to early to go to work. Nothing to distract her from the thoughts coming back to her. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she stared at the burn mark on the floor, and was lost again in memories.
It had been two weeks since Larxene gave her the pants. Xion had finished her missions early, and was in the gray area talking to Zexion, when Larxene plopped down beside her, putting an arm around her shoulder, with a smile. But that smile faded when she glanced at Xion's legs. "Where are they?"
"Where are what?" it was obvious what she meant, but she was feigning ignorance to avoid the subject.
"The stretchies I gave you. Why aren't you wearing them?"
"Oh... I tried them, and I didn't like them. They were a bit too breezy..." Xion replied, blushing, then gasping when Larxene tightened her arm around her comrade's shoulder.
"I didn't ask if you liked them, did I?" With a sneer, she stood up, pulling Xion with her. "C'mon, your wardrobe is due for a make over."
"What's wrong with my wardrobe?"
"From now on, you will only wear what I tell you." By now, they had reached the area with the rooms.
"But I li-" she was cut off as a hand came across her face, prompting Xion to stare at her in shock.
"I didn't ask if you liked it or not. I am your senior, and you will follow any orders I give you, understood?"
"Y-yes..."
"Yes what?"
"Yes... Ma'am?"
"Good. Which one is yours?"
"This one." Larxene raised one eyebrow at her. "Ma'am."
"Be polite, and invite me in."
"Please, ma'am, come in." she gestured for Larxene to enter, bowing slightly.
"Good girl. Now, let's get to work." she said, stepping over to the closet and looking over the options. "This... simply will not do." she grabbed a pair of jeans, and tossed them onto the floor, then another, then another, until all six pairs were there. Then, she looked at her comrade. "Off."
"B-but... please, m-ma'am..."
"What did I say about orders?"
"I must follow them, ma'am. I'll... have them off in a moment." with hesitation, Xion slipped out of the black jeans she was wearing, while Larxene watched on, grinning maliciously. "Here you go, ma'am."
"What a good little girl you are! now, from now on, you will wear only those tights and your coat."
"U-underwear?"
"And underwear. You may wear them... for now." Larxene glared at her, tapping her foot lightly. "What do we say?"
"Um... Thank you ma'am."
"Thank you very much."
"Oh... Thank you very much ma'am."
"Muuuch better." stepping up to Xion, she gently cupped a hand around the smaller girl's chin. "I won't punish you this time, coz you didn't know any better. But next time, you won't get off so easy, kay?"
"Y-y-yes ma'am. I-I'm sorry for disobeying..."
"Oh, you're so cute." stepping even closer, she forced xion to step back, hitting the wall. "I want you in my room tonight. Understand?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"Oh, and one more thing." she turned back towards the pile of clothes on the floor. Holding out her hand, electricity started crackling around it. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot forward, igniting the clothes. "There we go. No temptation."
"Right ma'am... Um... I have to..."
"What, you gotta take a piss or somethin?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Kay. Don't need 'ya needin to leave me tonight. See ya later, Xion."
"Right, ma'am. What time do you want me over?
"Ten. Sharp. Got it?"
With a nod, Xion closed the door behind Larxene. She didn't really need to use the bathroom, she just wanted to get her senior out of the room. In her room? What did Larxene mean? She was so confused, but for now, she needed to get some pants on. Sighing, she slipped into the thin tights, blushing as the smooth fabric slid over her legs. "I really don't like these..."
A sharp knock sounded on her door, followed by a familiar voice. "Yo! Xion, everything alright in there?" Great, the read haired romancer. Axel was one of her best friends, but he couldn't help her right now.
"Yeah, I'm fine Axel. Just a bad dream." Vague, but not a lie. She didn't want him worrying about her right now.
"Okay... I'm heading out early today. see you later okay?" when she didn't answer, a sigh emanated from behind the door, and the sound of retreating footsteps echoed. After they had completely faded, she slumped against the wall, sliding down to the floor.
"Larxene... You bitch. Only YOU could torment me like this, even after your faded." Tucking her legs against her chest, she stared over at the bed.
Xion left her room at 9:58, and found Larxene's a minute later. Making absolutely sure that it was ten o'clock, she knocked three times on the door. "S'open!"
As she slipped into the room, she found her face turning a vibrant pink. She wasn't sure why, but this felt VERY wrong. Larxene was lying on her bed, with the covers under her. She was clad in nothing but a simple tank top and a pair of black underwear. The magazine in her hands was tilted in just a way that the content and cover were blocked form her view, although she thought she could see two human-esque figures on the page Larxene was viewing. "Um... I came, just like you asked."
"And I'm so proud! You're like a puppy, obeying her master, hoping she doesn't get mad." she said, as she sat up, then waved her finger, gesturing for Xion to approach. "Now, come here puppy, so I can give you your treat."
"Yes ma'am." as she drew closer, Larxene moved to the side of the bed, sitting in such a way that her legs were spread apart, and she leaned forward, resting one hand on her knee, while the other rose to meet her chin. Stopping a few feet away, Xion turned her gaze to the floor. "What... what kind of treat did you have in mind, ma'am?"
"Come closer, puppy, I want to pet you." as her subordinate complied, she reached forward, grabbing Xion's shoulders. "Kneel. Good girl!"
As Larxene scratched Xion's head playfully, a broad grin spread across her face, amused at the 'puppy's' embarrassment. Pulling her hand away from Xion's head, she scooted back onto the bed, sitting cross-legged in the middle. As she pat her lap cheerfully, Xion crawled onto the bed, and rested her head against Larxene's lap, folding her arms beneath her head. "Like this?"
"Roll over, and face me." She immediately complied, turning about in Larxene's lap, so that she looked up at her with the sweetest, most innocent eyes the senior had ever seen. "Oh that is just SO CUTE!"
"R-Really?" Xion's face turned a bright shade of pink, as she pulled her hands up to cover the lower half of her face. "Um... May I address you as 'Miss Larxene,' ma'am?"
"Hm... 'Miss Larxene'... I really like that actually. hold that pose." as Larxene reached over to the bedside table, she plucked the phone from it, and held it over Xion. With a flash, the photo was taken and Xion was left seeing spots. "Yes, you can call me that. My god you are just too adorable like this."
"Thank you, miss Larxene!"
"Now, last thing I want tonight, promise." as she leaned down towards the smaller girl, her eyes drifted halfway closed, and Xion was afraid her senior was actually about to kiss her. She gulped, swallowing the lump in her throat. Hearing this, Larxene stopped, and instead, planted a peck on the child's forehead. "Alright, you can go to bed now, hon. I'm done with you for tonight."
"Oh... Okay." As Xion left, her heart sank. When she had entered the room, she had felt guilty, like she was doing something wrong. Now, leaving felt so wrong, she desperately fought the urge to run back in and throw her arms around Larxene. But the senior would probably fry her for it. Arriving at her own room, she paused at the door, looking back towards Larxene's. It was still slightly open, and a single strand of blond, antenna-like hair was swishing back through the gap. "Goodnight, Miss Larxene."
Xion remembered that night very well. In all honesty, she missed Larxene. She missed her a lot. It may seem wrong to anyone else, but No one knew her like Xion had. standing up, she staggered back over to the bed. Her legs had fallen asleep, after being tucked into such an unfamiliar position. With a slight giggle, she fell into her bed, and gazed at the ceiling. Losing herself into memories again, she though back to day after that night.
Xion was standing in front of the Organization's moogle, when Larxene sashayed up behind her, twirled, and flung her arms over the juniors shoulders. "Good morning my little Xion!"
"AH! Good morning, Miss Larxene." Turning around, she clasped her hands together behind her back, and smiled at the woman brightly. "Did you need something?"
"Yeah, today, your paired with me." cupping a hand over xions cheek, she leaned down close and whispered in Xion's ear, "your jacket is zipped up too high." reaching down towards the girl's waist, she grasped the zipper, and pulled it down about two inches. "Better? Looks like you dressed exactly the way I told you."
"Yes, ma'am, much better. And of course I did, you told me to, after all." As her smile faded, it was replaced with an expression of utter embarrassment. Lowering her voice, she looked up at Larxene and muttered, "Do I... Do I look sexy... Miss Larxene?"
"Hmm... sort of. More cute tha-"
"Larxene! Xion! stop lingering and get busy with your mission!"
"Don't get you panties in a bunch! We're just going over a strategies!"
Saix... wears panties?
"I see. Don't forget to carry potions. Depart as soon as you are ready."
"Yes, SIR!" She replied, giving a mock salute, much to Saix's ire. "C'mon Xion, we got work to do."
"Yes, ma'am." she replied, as Larxene ushered her over to the dark corridor.
As they emerged from the swirling vortex of shadows, Xion found herself surrounded by tall trees, grassy terrain and twilight. The Twilight Town forest. Glancing around her, she failed to locate her partner. With a sigh, she started off towards the mansion at the edge of the forest. A short distance away, Larxene was grinning viciously behind a tree, hidden from Xion's view. As the raven haired girl crept by, the senior silently stepped out from her hiding spot, trailing after her, with her hands outstretched.
About a foot and a half away, Larxene reached around Xion's arms, just barely out of the girl's field of vision. With one violent motion, she closed in, firmly camping her hands onto Xion's microscopic breasts. "Gotcha!"
With a startled scream, the girl stumbled forward, slipping free and promptly covering her chest with her arms. "M-Miss Larxene... Why would you do that?" She asked, as tears started forming in her eyes. For some reason, a twinge of regret tugged at Larxene. Clearly, she had pushed things too far. What was she thinking? Xion wasn't ready for something like that!
"I'm sorry... It was just supposed to be a stupid joke. Look, please don't cry... I didn't mean to upset you, really!" Larxene took a step towards the girl, prompting the latter to step backwards. "Well, I kinda did, but I just wanted you to get a really flustered, maybe a little mad... But I definitely didn't want to make you cry."
"A joke? That's it?" Xion replied, letting her arms relax, but they still covered her, ready to spring to her defense if needed. "Just... please don't do it again?"
"I won't. C'mere, let's get those tears cleaned up."
"I'll do it myself. What's our mission today?"
"Two Stealth type heartless have appeared in TT. We're supposed to track down one of them. Axel and Xigbar are busy with the other one in tram common." she stated, proceeding towards the mansion with added brisk. "I swear, these things have been popping up EVERYWHERE nowadays. Luxord says he fought one the other day in wonderland, and Xaldin claims he ecountered one at the beast's castle."
"So... Why are two members dealing with the ones here? If the others are able to take them out, why can't we?" Xion asked, having to jog slightly to keep up.
"Axel and Xigbar are good. They've got skill, like you and me, but they aren't Strong, like Luxord or Xaldin. So, to save time, they sent two members to deal with each one." the senior replied, stopping just short of the mansion, staring in horror. The massive lurk lizard had a small brown haired girl in his arms, and a pink glow was starting to emanate from her chest. Larxene knew very well what was happening... "Kid, cover me!" Larxene shouted, dashing forward, summoning a single knife.
"Yes ma'am!" Xion replied, running after her.
Leaping into the air, she forced a massive amount of electricity into her knife, and hurled it forward into the heartless's arm, causing it to sever, and electrocute the body. As she caught the girl, she quickly channeled the electricity back into her own body, before it could harm her. Charging her hand up, she sent a lightning bolt straight though the beast's chest. "Xion, collect the hearts it's taken."
"Yes ma'am!" jogging up behind it, Xion leapt at its back, and drove the keyblade into it. Slowly, the Lurk Lizard faded, releasing its captive hearts to join Kingdom Hearts. "Good work miss Larxene!"
As the girl in her arms coughed, Larxene looked down at her, startled to she was still awake. "Um... Thank you... I've never seen anyone move like that before. It's Larxene, right? That's what the other girl called you, isn't it?"
"Yeah. That's my name. Yours?" she replied, gently placing the child on her feet.
"It's Olette. Thanks so much for saving me. But... I kind of wanted to lose my heart..." Olette turned her gaze down, staring at a patch of dirt in front of her. "You see, my boyfriend of 2 years... well I found out he's been cheating on me... And it just hurts so much, I wanted to be done with it."
Larxene stared at her in shock. This young girl, was prepared to give up her life for a boy... "Look at me Olette. No man is worth giving up on life. Trust me, this comes from experience. I lost my heart because my lover betrayed me... I couldn't take it, so I stood in the middle of a courtyard, and waited. It was much smaller than this one, but it still scared me, and took my heart, right outa my chest. It was excruciatingly painful."
"You... Lost your heart? But... You're still alive..." Olette pointed out, taking a step back.
"No. I'm a Nobody. Me and Xion both. We're what happens when a strong hearted person loses their heart. Just, empty shells, no heart, no feelings." Larxene replied, grabbing Olette's hand, and raising it her throat. "See? No pulse."
"Oh..."
"Now, where do you live?"
"Station heights. Building 16, apartment 4."
"Alright, let's get you home. Lead the way." The girl turned around, and proceeded towards the forest, and Larxene raised her hand, whispering the word "sleep". Olette, in response, collapsed to the ground. "Now. Forget!"
"Miss... Did you just erase her memories?"
"Yeah."
"You can do that?"
"It takes a lot of magic power, but yeah. She wont remember us, the Lurk Lizard. But she'll remember the hurt. We need to get her home, and hope she doesn't do this again." She stated, lifting the unconscious girl into her arms.
"Oh. Um... Your lover... What was he like?" Xion asked, jogging up to Larxene, leaning forward to look at the senior's face. They walked in silence for a long while, until they reached station heights. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I don't need to know."
"Larxene," The red haired assassin walked up to them, greeting his comrade with a dull tone. "What's the deal? You know we aren't supposed to be seen. Why do you have her?"
"Lurk lizard tried to eat her. We rescued her. She wont remember us. I know what I'm doing Axel." Jumping up to the window, she summoned one of her knives, and used it to pry open the window. After entering, and lying the girl in her bed, and closing the window, Larxene came back down. Landing with a quiet thud, she stepped up close to Axel, jabbing a finger in his chest. "I never liked you. Even when you... even when you bought his roses just to see me. You always pissed me off Axel, so just leave me alone."
"I know. you made that very clear when you stabbed me."
"GOOD! Come on Xion. We're returning!"
"Okay." she started to follow her, but axel stopped her for a moment.
"Xion, I was watching you guys. That girl, she reminded Larxene of her ex-lover. Since that's the case, stay by her side. She'll need all the support she can get."
"I don't understand... What do you mean, 'support?' Is she going to fall over?" Xion asked, tilting her head to the left.
"Not that kind. you'll figure it out."
"Oka-"
"Xion! Let's go!" Larxene called from the next area, prompting the junior to turn around.
"I'm coming!" as she turned back to face Axel, she found him gone. Shrugging, she ran off to catch up to Larxene.
"Took ya long enough."
"Sorry ma'am, I as talking to Axel."
"Right..." she replied turning towards the Dark Corridor. "And Xion?"
"Ma'am?"
"His name... Was Lumaria."
a/n so this wound up being a LOT longer than I had intended. I got the idea from a picture I found a while back, of Larxene and Xion kissing and I thought, maybe this could happen! R&R please! I'll be continuing to work on my other Fic, Fireworks and Regrets, if you haven't read it, you should. Oh and if your confused as to why I made Larxene's revelation the end, it because the next chapter is going to pick up with Xion in the 'present' tense, with a good bit of drama.
