"Why do I suddenly feel this way about…him? We Nobodies have no feelings…"
She shook her head, as the memory of drifted back into her mind, breaking through her barrier of thoughts.
"I'm human again. And I have…to remember, and get use to it."
Clenching her fists in determination, she stood up and took a good look of herself in the mirror, standing at different angles to get a better view of slim and petite frame. The young woman wore a tight and slinky black dress with sparkly sequins sewn at the hem that accentuated her curves and a dark pink cardigan over it, along with a pair of faded jeans and stilettos. Her once antennae-like blonde hair had turned back to its original form; long and voluminous wavy golden hair that flowed down her shoulders in glistening curls. Large electric blue eyes peered out from the long fringe that cascaded over them, giving her a rather mystical aura.
"I'm going to be late if I don't hurry."
The young woman's appellation, was Relena, once a former member of the Organization XIII, an infamous group of Nobodies that plotted to take over the world with a common goal in mind; to complete Kingdom Hearts and retrieve their hearts back. Now that it had been concluded as an episode, with the Keyblade Wielder's help and a treaty, they had returned to their original forms, and the worlds began to intertwine with each other, finally creating the earth, a complete world where everyone lived in peace and harmony.
Music blasted from the earphones of her lime green iPod Nano as she stalked through the streets of East Ikebukuro, mind full of music. It was fairly noisy, considering that the city she lived in was filled with night life. Upon reaching a club, she showed the bouncer the blue bracelet on her wrist and he allowed her entry. Relena stuffed the plastic bracelet into her pocket with a look of disgust and peeled the earphones off.
She could feel the adrenaline pump faster and faster inside her as the loud techno music reverberated in the stale air. Clutching her handbag, Relena made her way down the steps and entered the dance floor, looking around. After several moments of searching, she caught a glimpse of him; Lea, her date. A mischievous look lit her face up as she sneaked up behind the auburn-haired man and grabbed his neck with both hands. The young man smirked and turned around, staring into her beautiful sapphire eyes
"You finally made it. I thought you wouldn't be coming."
Relena sat down besides him and ordered a tequila, wanting to feel the liquid seep down her throat after an exhausting walk from her penthouse. He gazed at her, eyes reflecting emotions that he was unable to bear until several weeks ago. Lea; he was once Organization Member VIII, the pyro that hid the mask of a double agent. His hair was still as spiky as ever, but the teardrop-shaped tattoos had disappeared during his transformation. Lea was dressed in the usual attire of men that you see on the streets of Tokyo; a white long-sleeved shirt (half-buttoned) with a jacket over it and a simple pair of black pants to match.
Relena turned to look at him, face glowing from the overhead lamp that hung over her, giving her golden hair a silver tinge. "Hmm, may I help you?" she teased.
"There's not much that you can help me with, dear Relena. I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you look tonight." Lea commented with a grin.
She flushed, unable to hide the redness from her face. Relena resorted to glancing down at her shoes, avoiding his pupils that darted from her face, to the ground.
"Relena, have you been to the beach recently? I heard that the renovations are complete. Do you, want to take a short ride past there?" he queried.
She glanced up from her shoes and looked him in the eye," Of course."
Within the next few minutes, Relena was seated in Lea's Sports Utility Vehicle, enjoying the midnight breeze as it brushed against her locks. She had never felt so happy in her entire life. Lea turned and gave her a smile, eyes dancing as if fiery orbs reflected in their smooth surface.
"Screech."
The car came to a halt. There they were, looking out at nature. The sound of waves crashing on the shore came to her ears, and seagulls cawing loudly in the night. The ocean was a blanket of darkness, creasing every few moments with glittering waves that shimmered under the full moon that hovered above Tokyo city.
"It's beautiful." Relena awed.
Just then, Lea unbuckled his safety belt and leaned closer to her. "Relena…"
She snapped out of her reverie and turned around, meeting him face to face.
"I love you."
He placed a hand on her cheek, enjoying the touch of her soft and creamy skin. Relena froze in her seat, wondering what he would do next.
"…May I kiss you?"
She had always treated him as a good friend and confidante, and also, boyfriend. They had never kissed, and this was going to be her first," At least he bothers to ask for my permission first."
At her slight nod, he moved in. Relena felt his hands entangle themselves in her silky hair as his lips slowly came towards hers. She closed her eyes, preparing to savor the wonderful moment that she had been waiting for all this time…
