L&DH: Hey all! an idea hit me a few months ago to try this out and i'm testing the waters. Yo, Demyx, help me out here?
Demyx: L&DH doesn't own us or Kingdom Hearts. If she did, boss man Xemnas would probably be on her tail though. she just owns the OCs. R&R!
"DIE VEXEN!" Larxene screamed.
"AHHHH!"
Larxene chased Vexen around with murder in her eyes. Vexen, the poor guy, only ran around screaming his head off. After all, everyone in the Organization knew that when Larxene got angry, she went out for blood. It was just in her nature, even if she was a Nobody.
The others watched this scene play out with mixed reactions. Some watched with interest, others with mild boredom and some didn't even pay attention at all. Well, that is until Larxene clamped her teeth around Vexen's tail.
And yes, I said tail. For you see, the Organization had been turned into animals. It had all started out thanks to Vexen, who had been experimenting again. Sadly, his project backfired and the whole Organization was caught up in it. Now they were stuck in another world in animal forms, unable to summon corridors or use their powers and weapons. So in a nutshell, they were screwed. Royally.
This brings us to our current predicament. Larxene, after three days of being stuck in the form of a mouse, finally cracked and decided to kill Vexen, who had been turned into a rat.
"Larxene, enough!" Xemnas shouted. Larxene complied grudgingly. "I realize that you wish to kill Vexen, we all do, but now is not the time."
"Superior!" Vexen squeaked.
"Face it old man. It IS all your fault." Axel chided.
Vexen was about to snap out some comeback when a flutter of wings signaled that the two avian Nobodies had returned. All eyes turned to see a hawk and owl descend from the sky.
"Xaldin, Zexion," Xemnas called. "What did you find?"
"There is a house not far from here, Lord Xemnas." Xaldin replied. "It is only a mile or so that way." He pointed his wing to the east. Demyx, ever the excitable one, jumped up and down.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" he barked. "Let's go!" And with that, he rushed off, leaving the other in the dust.
The other Nobodies sighed but went after Demyx. They had a feeling it was gonna be a long day.
*Time shift*
"Danna! Where are you?!"
A girl of 18 trudged through her enormous backyard, shouting at the top of her lungs. Her blue eyes flashed as her purple and blue-dyed hair swished around in its ponytail.
"I'm over here, Cyn." A calmer voice answered. The girl, Cyn, turned to see another girl sitting on a bench under a large oak tree.
She was very pretty, with long brown hair braided and hanging over her shoulder. Blue eyes just like the other girl's scanned at the pages of a small hardback book over a pair of silver-rimmed spectacles. The purple haired girl smiled, let out a huff of a laugh, and sat down next to her.
"Hey, have you heard the reports, Danna?" she asked. "Looks like tonight we'll be having a huge storm. Just thought you'd want to know, since the only thing you DON'T read is the paper."
"A storm, huh?" Danna looked at the sky curiously. "Odd. And not even a cloud in the sky too."
The two girls looked up to the sky. Danna was right, there wasn't a single wisp of cloud up there, but things like that had happened before….
*Timeskip*
Rain was pouring down by the bucketfuls. Thunder assailed the eardrums as lighting flashed across the sky.
"Fucking hell." Cyn swore. "And here I thought the weather man might be wrong for once…"
"Jacyn, relax." The purple haired girl turned to see her sister sitting and reading while curled up in her reading chair. "We live by the coast, storms happen."
"I know, Specs." Jacyn sighed. "I just hate thunder. It's so damn loud!"
Her sister laughed. "Coming from the girl who listens to heavy metal!"
Jacyn huffed and turned back to the window. It was around nine o'clock and the two were up in the room they shared. As twins, Danna and Jacyn felt totally comfortable with sharing a bedroom at 18. They honestly didn't really mind.
Anyway, I digress. Jacyn was staring out her window, clutching a fleece blanket around her shoulders. Her nose was pressed up against the cold glass as she watched the rain slid down the pane. Despite the loud noises and the flashing, the sight of the water sliding down the glass had a calming effect on Jacyn. That was how it was with water.
Looking down, slight movement in the backyard caught her attention. Blinking, she realized that it wasn't her imagination. Something was moving out there.
"Hey, Specs. I think something's in our backyard."
Danna closed her book and walked up to the window. Peering down, her eyes widened and her glasses slid down her nose.
"You grab the bat. I've got my pan."
After creeping downstairs with their makeshift weapons, the twins edged their way to the sliding door that led out back. Jacyn gave her sister a look and parted the blinds.
"AHHHHH!"
Jacyn fell backwards as the lighting flashed, illuminating the shape pressed up against the glass. The shape seemed to react the same way, letting out a muffled yelp and launching itself backwards.
Danna flipped the light switch, turning on the outside lights of the patio. When she did, she let out a gasp.
Huddled under the small picnic table were a bunch of animals, ranging from birds to cats and dogs, to even a few smaller, unidentifiable animals. They were all soaked from the rain and looked miserable.
Without a second thought, Danna swung open the door and threw a blanket over her head.
"Hey there, little guys." She said soothingly. "Now where did all of you come from? Come in here before you get even more soaked."
She noticed how some of the animals regarded her with oddly suspicious looks. Was that even possible, or was it a trick of the bad light? She walked slowly over and held the blanket over the table.
"Come on now. I'm not gonna hurt any of you." She smiled.
Jacyn, now over her shock, appeared next to her sister with an umbrella. With a kind yet confused smile she held it over the table, blocking the unforgiving rain.
"Now what on earth is this?" she asked. "Where could they have come from?"
Her sister shrugged. Even in the dim light she could she some of the animals shivering, including a small kitten. Her motherly instinct taking over, she picked up the small creature and held it against her chest.
"Come on you guys; come into the house with us." Jacyn offered. "We'll dry you all up, then see if we can find your owners."
One of the animals, a small dog, walked up to her and liked her arm. Then one by one, the other animals followed suit and they all walked into the house.
Once inside, Jacyn and Danna were confronted by an odd assortment of animals.
Altogether, there were five cats, three dogs, a rat and a mouse, one hawk, one owl, and a weasel.
Among the cats there was a small blond kitten with shining blue eyes. He, they assumed it was a he, stuck by a large scarlet-red tom with green eyes. Another cat, a massive rusty-brown one, sat silently on a towel. There was another tom with silver fur and gold eyes and oddly enough a pink Persian.
"Oh poor thing." Danna cooed as she toweled it off. "Did someone dye your fur?"
"I don't think so. Check out the fur on this guy. It looks natural, I swear to god." Jacyn exclaimed.
Jacyn was taking care of the dogs. There was a whitish-blond greyhound and a light brown lab puppy bounced and barked around Jacyn. Jacyn, while trying not to get knocked over by the puppy, was rubbing a towel over a strange wolfhound. It was a large and fierce-looking thing with odd orange-yellow eyes that stared intently at Jacyn as she dried its sky blue fur.
"Well, odd fur or not, your quite the handsome fella aren't you." Jacyn smirked and scratched the dog behind one of its ears. The dog, on the other hand, almost looked taken aback by the statement but did nothing.
Danna and Jacyn then went to work with drying the feathers of a dark colored hawk and a gray owl. Luckily neither of them used any talons or beaks on the girls. Then it was onto the smaller animals.
"Check it out, Danna, a weasel!"
Jacyn watched in amazement as the sleek black and gray creature scurried up her arm and onto her head. There it perched, leaning down so that its head was starring upside down at Jacyn. She noticed a scar running down the side of its face.
"I think this little guy is a fighter." She joked. She didn't notice the smug look the weasel was sporting as it scurried back down her arm.
Danna meanwhile was drying off the two rodents. She adored mice and rats, and loved these two. The rat was male, with green eyes and an ashy-blond coat. The mouse glared at her with beady blue eyes as she gently wiped her corn-yellow fur.
"Hey, Cyn." Danna looked at her sister. "I can't find any I.D. tags on any of these guys."
Jacyn frowned. "Yeah. All they have are these funny charms on them."
Each animal had a funny little charm attacked to a collar of some sorts. The gray cat had a golden "I", while the big brown one had a bronze bell. The red tomcat had a red enamel flame while the kitten had an "X" and the Persian had a flower. The greyhound wore a spade, the wolfhound a moon, and the lab a silver music note. On a silver chain the owl wore a book while the hawk had a feather tied to its leg with black ribbon. The mice had a lighting bolt and a snowflake tied to their tails and finally the weasel had a bullet charm on its collar. But none of them had any name tags. How odd.
Jacyn rocked back on her heels and ran a hand absentmindedly over the wolfhound's back. She stared at the wall for a few seconds before speaking.
"What now?"
"We keep them here of course. Tomorrow when the weather's cleared up, we'll call the others and see if they can give us a hand with finding these poor things' owners."
Danna got up and grabbed blankets from the closet. Laying them on the floor, she motioned to the animals.
"Go ahead and sleep here. In the morning, Cyn and I will help you. 'Night."
She got up and walked to the door, turning when she noticed her sister hadn't moved.
"I think I'll keep them company, Sis. Night." Jacyn got up and sprawled out on the couch. Danna nodded and walked out, turning off the lights on the way upstairs.
"Night all."
Jacyn was a little shocked to hear squeaks, squawks, hoots, meows, and barks answer her.
*Organization's P.O.V.*
The Nobodies watched as the girl known as Jacyn fell asleep. Once they were sure she was sleeping, they gathered around the couch she lay on and talked amongst themselves.
"Do you think we can trust these girls?" Luxord asked. Next to him, Axel and Roxas both swished their tails in a cat-like shrug.
"We don't really have that much of a choice, you know?" Axel cocked his head. "Nice thinking Demyx, running around like that. Who knew you would be the one to save our skins." His green eyes sparked while he joked.
The lab puppy that was Demyx just sat on the floor, staring at the sleeping girl. When he didn't say anything, or move for that matter, the rest of the Nobodies stared at him curiously. Without a word of warning, the dog jumped up onto the couch and settled down next to the girl's shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Roxas asked.
"She looked warm." Demyx replied. "I'm freezing even with all this fur and she looks warm. I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted. So I wanna sleep. You should come up here to; it's pretty comfy…" He closed his eyes and was asleep in an instant. The others exchanged looks.
"Wow, Demyx has a point there. It must be the end of the world." Axel jumped onto the couch and settled down by the girl's legs.
The other followed suit, some seeing Demyx's point while others were cold themselves. Roxas wedged himself in the gap between the couch and Jacyn's other shoulder while Marluxia sat on her stomach with Larxene sitting on his head. Lexaeus thunked down on her knees while Xigbar and Vexen curled around her neck. Xaldin and Zexion perched on the back of the couch while Xemnas sprawled on the arm. Luxord and Saix slept at opposite sides of the couch, Luxord by her legs while Saix was by her out stretched arm.
Soon the soft snores of animals and human were the only thing to be heard.
L&DH: and that's it for chapter 1! so what do you all think about this little project? think it's something worth continuing?
Jacyn: i think you should! but then again, I'm the OC so of course i'd say that.
