Excerpt from "untitled," a fanfic by Raberba girl

"Good morning, Saïx," Luxord said politely.
"'Sup, Luna," Demyx mumbled with a sleepy wave. "Oops..." He looked at the milk he had spilled, shrugged, then reached for the egg carton without bothering to wipe up his mess.
Ordinarily, I might have spoken up about this, but now I simply felt subdued. "Good morning," I murmured. Unthreatening as they were, I did not like the idea of having either of them out of sight behind me. That ruled out the refrigerator, so I finally started looking through the cabinets above the same counter where Demyx was working. Just the sight of the colorful cereal boxes there made me feel suddenly nauseous... I finally pulled down the only brand with no sugar.
The other two were watching me now, frowning. "You okay, Lu?" Demyx asked.
"Yes," I said shortly, pouring Cheerios into a bowl. Then, as too much of an afterthought, "Don't call me that."
"You don't look - er, quite yourself," Luxord said.
"I'm fine."
"Did you have to abort a mission?" Demyx asked eagerly. "Is that why you weren't around yesterday?"
"Demyx, stop talking," I growled, suddenly full of irritation I shouldn't be feeling.
"Are you out of recovery items?" Luxord asked in puzzlement, staring at my face. It took me a moment to remember that it was now badly scarred. "I'll spare you some, if you'll wager with me first. I'll go easy on you," he promised. "I've just been craving a game, and no one has been willing to play with me of late."
"Pfft, yeah, because you always win," Demyx laughed. "Cheater."
"I am an honest player," Luxord said, looking affronted. "I simply have a naturally high level of luck. I'm not unbeatable, though."
"Whaddaya say, Sai?" Demyx coaxed. "Gonna take him on, or are ya too chicken?"
"I'm in a bad mood," I said bluntly, dipping my spoon into cereal to which I had not added milk. "I don't want to talk."
"Awwww, is Lulu sad?" Demyx cooed. "Is Lucy Lu all in a huff because the big mean-?"
My fist hurt, and I quickly realized that it was because I was punching someone with it, and the screams were Demyx's, not Isa's.

A/N: I was re-reading these two untitled fics, and couldn't stand how awful they are. Unlike the other sites I post on, FanfictionDotNet gives me no option to limit who can see my work, so for now, I'm replacing the full stories with short excerpts. I don't know whether the removal will be temporary or permanent, which is why I'm still leaving a "placeholder;" all I know is that I'm really ashamed of writing these.
