Hey guys. So chapter two is finally done, after all of the thinking.
I do not own KH, any songs, or characters mentioned.
Chapter 2
Slowly sliding into the lush pink bubbled water, Xion sighed to herself. By now, Xion was chin deep in the luxury tub, and head deep in thought. "What did I do wrong? Did I fuck up like usual? Did Roxas get tired of me, or.. or did he find someone else?" Xion bit her lip, bringing a crimson mark. Out of all days, why did she have to be in this state of feeling? Wasn't your birthday supposed to be a happy day? Or was this a myth? Either way, Xion didn't get the memo.
The raven haired girl leaned up, sitting in a criss-crossed setting. She then examined her pale thighs. Scars covered them both. Some as small as a cat scratch, some as big and deep as craters from the moon. Gently, she rubbed her index finger across the lines. Some old. Some new. Some were barely scabbed over, and the warm water burned the hell out of them.
Tears filled Xion's eyes, still tracing the lines. Only Roxas knew about the scars, and she remembered exactly how he found out. She remembered the look of his bright blue eyes, go dull and grey, as they filled with tears he tried to hold back.
"Xi.. baby why?! What made you fucking do that! Why is your beautiful skin...why is it ruined?"
Ruined. Just like Xion.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Roxas shook his head, and put a tight grasp around Xion, hugging her as tight as he could, as he buried one of his hands in her dark hair.
"No.. no it's going to be okay. You will always have me to come to."
He then slid to his knees, and took a close look at the fragile girl infront of him. Looking back up, he gave her a small smile. Roxas lowered his head, kissing all inches of Xion's thighs. She placed a hand on his head, and ran her fingers through his messy blond hair.
"Darling, you'll be okay." he told her, in a soft tone.
Xion's tears started rolling down her cheeks. The flashbacks and memories still hurt. He loved her so much, it seemed like. But if that was the case, why'd he go?
"Why?" Xion said aloud, to the ceiling.
Nothing seemed right. But if she kept worrying about Roxas, she knew she wouldn't be able to have anything else on her mind.
Xion poured shampoo into her hand, and rubbed it into her short black hair, taking in every second she could.
After around 45 minutes to herself, Xion finally made her way back to Kairi's room, where the red head was standing with Sora.
Xion pulled her robe tighter around her, as she looked away. The more she saw the twin, the more it hurt.
"Okay, so Sora. Which one do you think would look good on Xion?" Kairi asked Sora, who was holding up two outfits.
Sora cocked his head to the side, and crossed his arms. In front of him, she held a black baby doll dress with small silver skulls covering it, with black tights that had slits, on one hanger. And on the second, she held out a black and grey plaid mini skirt with a glittery tank top that matched.
"Does it look like I'm a fashion master?" Sora asked, raising his eyebrows.
Kairi gave him a dumbfounded look. "No. I just want a guy's opinion. And out of you, a perv, or my brother, I think you'd be the best to choose!" She finished with a high, cheery voice.
But that changed when she lowered her head, and looked straight at Sora.
"Now. Choose."She spitted out.
Xion giggled at her friend's quick change in mood.
"Fine. The dress. It'd be cute on her." Sora mumbled out, cheeks flushing lightly.
Kairi gave him a half smirk. "See? That wasn't hard. Now, go away."
Sora threw his hands in the air, and made his way to the door. Before leaving, he took in the sight of Xion. Sora's facial expression fell, drastically. He didn't like seeing Xi upset. But with that, he closed the door behind him, and made his way back to Axel and Riku.
"So, how you feeling?" Kairi asked Xion, who was now throwing on some sweats, and a tank top Kairi had laid out for her.
"Meh.." Xion sighed out, moving her hand in a uneven scale motion. "I feel a lot better after that bath, though." She gave her a small smile.
Kairi gave a half smile back, not really sure if Xion was actually okay. "Good. So, we aren't leaving for a while. You need to rest for an hour or so, because I don't want you tired in a bar and passing the hell out."
Xion rolled her eyes. "Maybe a nap would be great." Besides, Kairi was right. Xion was mentally beaten, and tired. She could sleep for days after that bath.
Kairi guided Xion to the master guest room, up the stairs.
Xion slid past Kairi, and closed the door to the room. She flopped herself on the king bed, and covered herself in the fluffy white blankets and pillows.
Xion closed her eyes a few times, then eventually fell asleep.
But she was about to be nightmare bound, and that was the last thing she needed.
