You Keep my Heart Shining
Chapter 2
"Well……" my mom put a finger to her chin, observing me and the guys behind me.
"Please mom?" I asked. "We have like 20 rooms. I'll make sure they won't cause trouble."
Mom sighed. "Alright, but they're your responsibility." She then went into the kitchen.
I turned the guys. "Alright peoples, you're all in my care now. So no demon rituals, no killing, no setting things on fire……" I counted them on my fingers. "Oh and no stealing hearts."
"Why would we steal a heart when we've got our own?" Marluxia asks.
I shrugged. "Just a rule and follow it! Now, my parents put a lot of money into this house and it's all nice and clean. So keep it that way."
"How much was this house?" Zexion asks.
"Well, my parents built it…so it took over 5 million to make it."
They all looked at me like I had grown another head. "What?"
"Nothing." They all said in unison.
I sighed and cracked my knuckles. "Wait till Storm hears about this……." I muttered. "Alright, we have 20 rooms in this house. So each of you go pick one."
They all left, except for Xemnas. "Would your mother mind if I stayed with you?"
I blushed. "Uh…let me go ask her." I walked into the kitchen. "Hey mom?"
"Yeah hun?" she turned away from the oven.
"You know the one guy with silver hair and gold eyes?" she nodded. "Well…..I met him a few months ago during school and we're…." I trailed off.
"Dating?" I nodded. "How come I never met him?"
"Well, he was gone for a few months and he came back. He and his friends came to me because they have nowhere else to stay and I know his friends pretty well." I replied, hoping she would buy the lie. I'm a terrible liar.
"Hmm, well (me: I use that word a lot) you are 18. So I guess it's alright. But I will explain this to your father when he gets up." She replied.
I sighed in relief and kissed her cheek. "Thanks mom!" I went back into the living room. "She said its alright with her."
He followed me to my room. It was covered in posters of Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts, Transformers and other various things. I had a large bed with black and red sheets and blankets and red and black walls and red carpet.
"I like your style."
I blushed. "Aw, thanks."
He was looking through my stuff while I was taking my coat and boots off, reveling black jeans and a red short sleeve shirt. "Is this the 'game' you were talking about?" he tossed me a game. Kingdom Hearts 2.
"Yep." I tossed it onto my desk, which made a small clattering sound. "At the beginning of this game, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia, Larxene and Xion are already gone. So that only left you, Xigbar, Xaldin, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord and Roxas."
"How many games are there?"
"Well….there's Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. There's a couple more I think."
He raised a silver eyebrow. "Why would they make so many?"
"It's a really popular game. It's probably my favorite." I replied. I sighed and lay down on my bed. He climbed on and lay down beside me.
"How did you get my cloak?"
"It….just somehow appeared over my arm. I just kept it, 'cause it reminded me of you." I looked over at him.
He looked at me. "Did you miss me that much?"
"Oh, you don't even know how much. I haven't missed anyone this much for a long time. I just gave up on boyfriends until now."
His right hand came over to my head and ruffled my hair. "I guess you missed me a lot."
I nodded.
……………………………
RING…………RING………….RING…………
I woke up to my cell phone vibrating. I opened my eyes and looked at my alarm clock. It was almost 6:30 in the morning. I sighed tiredly and picked up my phone, answering it. "Hello?"
"Hey Shell! I've got good news." Stormy said. I could feel her smile.
I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. "Storm, its 6:30 in the morning…."
"I know! Liam called me and said he's coming over for Christmas break. You'll finally get to meet him."
"Yeah, I remember that. Anyone, in the morning, which is not right now, I will call you and tell you something."
"Aww, why can't you tell me now?"
"Because it's still dark out and I'm freaking sleepy." I hung up and put my cell phone on my bed stand and snuggled deeper into the covers. His arms wrapped tightly around my waist.
"Hey…" I elbowed him in the shoulder.
"What?" he replied groggily.
"You'll get to meet one of my friends tomorrow. She'll go crazy."
"Nnnnnnnggggghhhhhhhhh….." he groaned. I rolled my eyes and moved in his arms, facing him and went back to sleep.
…………………………………
"Aww!!!!!! Look at the two lovebirds!!!" I heard Xigbar's voice the next morning.
I raised my hand and a bolt of lightning came out, striking him. He fell to the ground, twitching. "Stay outta my room Xiggy." I warned and sat up, yawning.
All of a sudden, my cell phone vibrated and I picked it up. "What?" I asked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"So….when can I come over?"
I looked at the clock. It was almost 10:30. "How about 12:30. I need two hours to wake up." I replied.
"Okay, later Shell."
"Later Storm." I said and hung up. Xemnas sat up.
"Who was that?"
"Stormy." I replied. "Come on…." I said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him off the bed. "My mom makes good coffee. You'll like it."
And I still hate that stuff. When we got downstairs, everyone else was awake. "Hey, where'd your mom go?" Axel asks.
"Work. That's the only thing that keeps her busy since we have a lot of money now." I replied, sitting and letting my head hit the wooden table. "So tired…….one of my friends is coming over later, so you'll guys get to meet her."
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. I walked over, grumbling and answered it, reveling Stormy, Keely, Elizabeth, Abi, Chrissie and Michael.
"Hey Xion." I looked over at her. "Can I borrow your keyblade for a minute?"
"Um, sure." She summoned her keyblade and handed it to me.
WHACK
I smacked Stormy over the head with Xion's keyblade and then handed it back to her. "I told you 12:30!! I'm still tired!!"
"She gets so damn cute when she's angry." Axel says with a smirk. Xemnas hit him over the head.
"That's my girlfriend you're talking about."
"I didn't know you two were dating."
"Shut up!"
"All of you just shut up!!" I yelled, letting my friends in. "I'm still tired so no yelling!!"
"See what I mean?" Axel said. Xemnas nodded.
"So, which one are you dating?" Keely asks.
I glared at Stormy. She gave me a look that clearly said 'I don't know'. I sighed and pointed at Xemnas. "Wow, he's hot."
I smacked Keely over the head. "That's my boyfriend you're talking about."
"I didn't know you two were dating until now."
I let out a groan. "Someone shoot me please!!"
"I don't think Xemmy would appreciate that." Demyx says.
