The dim speck of light from the heart shaped moon poured through the window, the inhabitants were all sleeping but one man. He was the scientist of the group of thirteen.
The tall blonde man was leaning over an operating table, a small smirk was playing across his lips, emerald green orbs glowing in the darkness as he toyed with his latest experiment. Oh how the charming snake of a man will pay. He laughed quietly to himself, Vexen despised that young neophyte and his horrible ways. Emerald green eyes went wide as the experiment hissed as he added a drop of acid. Vexen placed the beaker down, pulling off his glasses, walking over to his desk placing the glasses down before scuttling off to his bedroom.
Vexen was lucky he owned the whole labs all to himself and his bedroom was joined to the cold dark labs. Vexen s nature was reflected on his element, everyone had an element in the group, and Vexen s was ice, he suited his element perfectly, his love of science, a tall very bony body, rather lanky build and oddly shaped hips for a man, more to the touch of women s hips. Taunt milky white skin, long fair blonde hair and frosty emerald green eyes. The blonde scientist changed into his nightwear seeing as it was two in the morning and he always awoke at six and he needed to get his special experiment ready for his revenge.
Vexen was one of the highest rankings in the group his number was four and he was happy he was ranked so high.

Vexen awoke from his short sleep, he got out of bed slowly, dressing into his organization outfit before heading upstairs to the castles kitchen, making himself a cup of coffee, wishing to leave before he saw anyone other than Lexaeus and Zexion, Vexen was lost in thought and was startled when someone stumbled into the kitchen.
He looked up to find his worst nightmare, Marluxia the troublesome neophyte. Eleven. He said in a cold voice.
Vexen he replied in a sickly sweet voice, his smile was also sickly sweet as he watched the blonde man. Said blonde glared at him very annoyed, grabbing his coffee and leaving the kitchen heading back to the safety of his lab. Oh my payback will be sickly sweet, I mean how dare that pig come into my lab and blow up my experiments. He growled to himself. The scientist started to toy with his experiment again. Once he had finally finished the quite dangerous experiment in his hands, Prepare to die oh precious little flower~ He smirked evilly, portaling up to the man s garden and dropping the acid in his garden. Ooops!~ he smiled, quickly teleporting away from the scene and back to his lab.

Marluxia walked from his room down to his garden, he opened the door and his eyes went wide. Oh this means war. The Assassin growled,
Because no one beats the Graceful Assassin! Marluxia s POV

The younger man was walking through the halls to his garden, his garden was his only sanctuary, his only save haven. That was until he bumped into the organizations only scientist, who had his usual sour expression, he glared at Marluxia when the younger man walked into him.

Eleven watch where you re walking. Vexen growled.

Well sorry Vexen! Marluxia hissed storming off away from the blonde scientist, the young Assassin didn t go to his garden but instead went to Vexen s lab. He took all of the mans potions, papers and experiments dropping them all on the floor.

This is for not paying any attention to me! He growled, picking up many acids and dropping them on the pile of Vexen s scientific stuff.

Gah! Why do I have the feeling I like you! Marluxia yelled into the dark, cold and unfriendly lab.

Marluxia quickly portalled away from the labs, finally appearing in his garden. Sadly the younger man knew he had crossed the line and there would be a major price to pay. The Assassin finally nodded off to sleep.

Marluxia awoke a few hours later, heading up to his bedroom to finish some work he had been given earlier; It was about the world he'd visted recently that week. The town formally known as Radient Garden.

It took the Assassin all night to finish his report, it was about six am when the the young man stumbled ungracefully into the kitchen to spot Vexen with a very sour expression on his face.

Eleven. The blonde seemed to growl.

Vexen. The pink haired man replied, with a very sweet smile plastered on his face, as he watched Vexen swiftly leave the kitchen with his coffee.

So he must have found his little present I left him. Marluxia thought, the younger male was a very proud man, rather bold and never willing to back down, his features could say differently about him; shoulder length pink fluffy hair, deep dazzling blue eyes,
sun kissed skin, tall and very nicely built, he had a liking for flowers, so he was otherwise called a botanist.

That was why his title was The Graceful Assassin, he was very fit and was an extremely good fighter.

The young Assassin had been in the kitchen for a good hour, so he had his breakfast and a coffee to wake him up.

The pink haired man left for his room, checking everything was in check before going down to his garden. When he arrived the sight almost made him want to curl up and die, Marluxia saw a glass testtube shattered on the ground, his whole garden had died.

Marluxia knew it was because of that scientist, he'd come in and dropped the acid like substance in his garden on purpose. The younger's deep blue eyes were still wide.

Oh this means war! The Assassin growled.

Because no-one beats The Graceful Assassin! It was from that very moment the love-hate war started between Vexen and Marluxia.
