A/N: I've finally found the courage to publish something I've written. It's not my first story (actually, it's just a drabble, not a story ..) but I have to start somewhere ^^;
So, I thought about this when I cosplayed as Larxene and quickly wrote it down on the train today. I know, not a very original title, but it will have to do. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer:I do not own Kingdom Hearts or the characters named in this story, they belong to Squeenix.


Scattered Hope ~

"Where'd he go!?" Axel yelled in anger as he threw his other chakram at Larxene. She could barely dodge the attack in time.

"I told you, I don't know!" the female yelled back, trying to catch her breath. Fire versus lightning. Larxene had no elemental advantage to benefit from. The fact that Axel's rage completely blinded him for any reason, made things even worse.

Not that he was a reasonable man when he wasn't like this.

"Why do you care anyway?!" Larxene continued, "You don't have a heart! You're not supposed to care!" She knew that she was threading on thin ice. Whenever he was the subject, you took heed of your words, especially if Axel was around.

Larxene, as well as all other Organization XIII's members, knew that they were supposed to be heartless, that they shouldn't have feelings. Nobodies.But she couldn't help herself. Just like when they felt pleasure in taking other people's hearts or the guilt that struck them when they had failed a mission, just like that, Larxene had started feeling a tinkle inside whenever the flame wielder was around. She secretly had hoped that their comradeship would turn out to be more. Cautiously, she had collected this hope and had stored it away deep inside.

The female turned her attention back to Axel, who had suddenly become very silent. His rage had disappeared completely and he seemed to be scarily at ease. The redhead looked Larxene in the eye and a faint smile appeared around his lips.

"That may be so," he said softly. It was nearly but a whisper. "But at least he gave me the feeling like I had a heart. Something that you will never be able to do so."

The Flurry of Dancing Flames disappeared into a dark portal, leaving the Savage Nymph behind.
All alone with her scattered hope.


A/N: So? What was it like? ^^ I've given you the liberty to fill in who this mysterious "he" is, but I suppose it's quite obvious.
And of course Flurry of Dancing Flames and Savage Nymph are respectively Axel and Larxene's nicknames.

Review addict! Contructive critique most welcome~

Reviewing is just the same like eating a cake someone baked for you; you tell them what you think of it. It's impolite stuffing it entirely into your mouth and then leaving without saying a word ..
Got it? Got it! ;)
