Ashes- Hello everyone. As you well know, I'm very, well, I have a lot of ideas for many different stories. So, no bad comments please. Thanks. R&R please.
"We're going to find Axel. I didn't want Zexy and Sex here anyhow, so why listen." She said smiling and laughing. She made Demyx smile. She was so free and careless about things. Not caring wiether or not something bad happened to her.
Like him almost, even though he was probably a lot weaker then she was. "So where do we start" He said as they both skidded to a stop.
"Here" She said and pointed.
Off in the distance they saw Axel and a blond haired kid, Roxas, talking. No, not talking, fighting.
"Who are you!?" Roxas screamed.
Axel scuffed "I'm Axel, we're best buds, don't you remember?"
Roxas snorted, waving his hand out in front of him a keyblade appeared.
Nira gasped "The weapon from my dream-" It made her shiver at the sight of the real thing, making her sweat, her hands were twitching to get her hands on it. Demyx noticed her sudden reaction.
"She's shaking, twitching to. Man, that must a really powerful weapon for her to act like that--" He broke from his thoughts when the sound of Axel's chakram fell to the ground and burst into a sudden flame. That's when Nira finally moved.
She bolted at top speed out in front of Roxas, who at this point was only a few feet away from chopping Axel in two. Time slowed down. She lifted her arm. Roxas brang down the keyblade. Demyx ran out of the alley way. Axel flinched. Time sped up and caught up with the current so fast it made them all dizzy.
Roxas was being blocked by Nira's arm. But, it didn't look like her arm at all. There it was a metalic color. Moving like liquid and as strong as a diamond.
Demyx was in awe. Axel had his eyes glued shut until he finally had to courage to open them.
Nira pushed her right foot forward and pushed on her arm making the keyblade and Roxas tumble backwards a bit. "That's not a nice way to talk to a friend, or for a matter of fact, greet." Just then a portal of darkness opened up and Saix and Zexion both walked through.
"Finally caught up, did we?" Axel smirked. Saix sent him the death glare then his eyesight slowly found it's way to Roxas who began to run away.
"Hey! Wait!" Demyx caight Nira this time by the shoulder. He pulled her back and covered her mouth. "No. Bad. Wrong." He said. Her muffled curses stopped.
Axel got to his feet and brushed himself off, turning Saix grabbed him by the collar and pull him off his feet.
"Are you nuts! You could have faded or worse, got her taken away. We're on a mission and from now on you and Demyx are in charge of keeping an eye on her." He settled himself. His eyesight fell on Nira in Demyx's arm with her mouth covered and her arms crossed.
"Well, since you know how to summon your powers, show us your weapon of choice." Demyx let go of the girl and stepped back.
"Well, what do you mean? Is there something I need or do I choose?" She asked.
Axel laughed "Just choose." She nodded.
Putting her arms out in front of her, Nira consentrated on what weapon she'd want. "Steel. Metal. Guns. Blood. Lots of it. A...Something! A---A protective shield. Umm, claymore. No taken. Guitar. No. Fire! No! Damnit! A gaint--WHIP!!!" A that moment a silver whip formed in her hands and flowed onto the floor. It flowed like the ocean and had microscopic holes in it.
"What the fuck? It that it?" Axel scuffed. "Knew it, your just another chicken." Nira gave him the death glare. Taking her hand up in the air with the whip she cracked it against the ground making it rumble voilently. Huge spikes had come out of it and stuck into the ground.
"It has every element in it. Interesting choice." Zexion thought stupidly. "So what made you pick that weapon?" He asked her.
"Well, don't know. What so big about it?" She said glaring into his eyes.
Zexion then saw it. Emotion that couldn't be tapped into, something a nobody couldn't grasp. It made no sense at all. His notions about being a nobody could be totally ajar because of her. He needed to know if she could harness and produce feeling without having a working and fully capable heart. To him, she was merly a gaint protection cell for the heart itself, as if it needed to be delivered somewhere.
Then it came to him. The finishing key to opening their own Kingdom Hearts.
His eyes flashed ever so slightly but Nira had caught. He knew something and she needed to know.
The whip slowly dissapeared from her hand. Just then Axel stepped in "So, what were you before you became a nobody?"
"Oh, me? Well, I was a juvenile delinquent on probation." She said smiling.
Saix raised an eyebrow. "So the people you hung out with weren't your real friends?" She shot him a look.
"No, they were--jail bodies." She said looking around as they walked over to the station. All five of them seemed to be in a somewhat of good mood besides Saix.
When they got to the station Nira let the boys walked ahead a bit then spun on her heels and ran. "See yah suckers!" She yelled skiding to a stop and turning the corner. She ran and ran. Since she hadn't got her uniform yet it was easy to run.
She ducked into an alley way and watch as Axel ran past and didn't notice her. She chuckled when she peeked around the corner and saw him turn into a different district. She turned and gasped. Standing before her was Zexion.
"God damn." She said under her breath. "Could've got away to--So Zexy, how are you--!" He clamped a hand over her mouth and opened a portal. Picking her up bridal style he walked through. He stepped out onto the beach where you could see the sunset perfectly.
"Puth meh down or I'v chuk ofh you's whick!" Her muffled voice sounded. Zexion's eyes widened for a moment and then he dropped her to the ground. She landed on her butt and narrowed her eyes at him.
"What is with all this covering my mouth shit!? It's getting annoying!" Nira yelled. He just crossed his arms and stood firm.
Nira turned away from him and then something hard hit her in the back. It was a black backpack. "Hey, it's my backpack from my room. Wait! You were in my room?!" She yelled again.
Zexion blushed. "Well-uh, I got most of your under garments.." He said.
"You looked at my underwear!? You pervert!" She sounded.
Zexion's face was red. "No! You can't walk around in your old clothes! Besides, your uniforms in there to." He turned. "No ones here, change."
"No!" Nira argued. Zexion turned.
"Ok, how 'bout I go get Axel and he can stand watch!" Zexion snapped back. Nira growled and motioned him to turn around. Then began to stripped her clothes.
"Man, I wish I had some privacy!" She thought. Just then the ocean water began to flow towards her through the air. It slowly circled around her and then totally inclosed around her looking like a cloudy blue salt-water egg. "Now that's cool." She thought again and then looked at her uniform.
"This will never do. Mine as well." She formed her finger into a knife like thing and cut a section of the uniform out where the belly would be and then slowly cut a strand and made little belt buckle holes and made a sort of belt. Putting it on it looked totally rockin'.
The middle part of the uniform out but it didn't show of her belly because she wore a black shirt under the uniform. It was sorta see through but hey, why not. She had moved the bottome half over a bit so the opening was by the side of her left thigh. It was a little big so thank god Zexion had grabbed a black belt with holes cut out of it.
Making a mirror out of the water she looked at herself. "Absolutely hot!" She spun around and looked at herself again. "Something missing." Just then out of the corner of her eye hanging out of her bag was a pendent.
It glowed purple-blue light from the crystal in the middle. The chain was black and silver and the crest holding the crystal itself was shaped like a heart.
The water dropped. Zexion and Axel stopped talking. Demyx smiled slightly and Saix sighed.
Nira stuck out her tongue and smiled slightly. "Like it." Axel nodded and Zexion said nothing.
"That is so cool! No one in the Organization every thought of that! You really are weird." Demyx said the only one commenting. Nira focused on Saix.
"Well, am I in trouble boss?" She asked sarcasism in her voice. Saix shook his head and began walking the other way dissapearing in a dark hole. "I guess that's a no." She said.
She smiled "One down, one to go." She thought looking over to Zexion and giving him the evil eye. "So, where to boy toys?" She said winking at him. He blushed madly and turned the other way. Tieing her hair up in a tight bun with a few strands hanging out she followed the others as they made their way to a hotel.
"How is she?" Xemnas asked as he turned toward Saix.
"Well Xemnas, there is no way to explain it." He heard a chuckle. He knew what came next. Saix braced himself for a light saber to pierce his flesh or him to be slammed up against the wall, but nothing came.
"She must be a handfull as I expected. After all, she really can't be tamed. But, I have plans." He was silent after that.
Saix struck something gold, he just didn't know what. "Sir, if we put her in as an equal, what would happen. Would she become to powerful? Or would she be pushed to far?" He asked ready to run or summon a portal.
"Saix, I know you are possibly the only one I can trust now that she's here." He paused. "Because, she has a will, emotions and an unstable mind that no nobody could possibly grasp. Even though they are - untapable - she still holds great value. She could over power me in time."
"Then why did you want her, Xemnas?" Saix was pushing it more then usual.
Xemnas's tan skin was hidden in the dark but the evil around never really was able to be pushed away unless someone of equal light or good was around, like Nira.
"Because if she does overpower me - let's just say there is no way in stopping her." Saix knew it, he was picking them off. "So I sent Axel, Zexion and Demyx. The weak minded and weakest fighters to take care of what needs to be done." Xemnas stated.
"What needs to be done?" Saix asked, he was dead the moment he heard him turn around.
"She needs to understand what it is like being a monster." He stated quickly, Saix was almost unable to catch it.
"Now go." He was gone. Xemnas sighed. "Now you have been caught up to Saix, what a shame. You'll have to go as well." He laughed bitterly as the heart shaped moon above him fed on more and more lost hearts.
Nira sat on the roof of the hotel watching the neon lights flicker on and off. "Everything seems so different. So...lost." She thought when she heard something behind her. She turned a bit when she saw a flash of grey hair. "How old are you Zexion, grey hair isn't really my thing yah know." She joked.
He chuckled and sat next to her. "Wow. I heard something otherwise then a nasty comment come out your mouth. He lives! He speaks..." She faded off.
Zexion looked at her. "Remembering feelings?" She looked over to him. She smirked. "Hell yeah, or, I guess that's what it's called."
Zexion looked over to her. Then she looked up at the sky. "My life is like a broken bike chain." She paused and sighed. "And I keep on trying to fit every little slot back on but everytime I get back on the damn bike, it breaks again. Over and over and now a days, it's just really gettin' on my nerves." She said.
Zexion somehow understood that. "But what if, you got a new bike chain? Then you could get on your bike and ride." He said. She laughed.
"But what if I can't get that new bike chain, it cost to much." She pointed out. Zexion nodded and looked over the houses.
"Well...how much does it cost?" He asked. Nira looked up at him, every feeling pooling in her eyes. Filling up and filling up until it all came out in one tear that fell done her soft cheek to her chin then fell from her chin onto the roof of where they were sitting.
"My family. My home. My friends. You. Axel. Demyx. Saix." That stopped him in his tracks. "But, then, I think I don't want a new bike chain, because, then I would forget all the stuff it put me through." She paused and smiled. "All the cuts and scratches it gave me when I was learning how to ride. When I popped it out and had to take my time putting it back in. All the sweat and tears begging it to fit when it got to small or to rusty. But yah know, a little oil and trust, it eventaully fits back in." She said.
Zexion smiled and nodded. Nira chuckled and looked at her hand. "Zexion?"
"Hm?" Zexion looked over to her.
"All the calculations and math couldn't amount up to the human heart, not even a small piece." She started. "What Xemnas doesn't see because he's to blinded by hate and jealousy is that, he can't have one. The reason why we tetter on the edge of nothing is because we got pushed and pulled by destiny that the heart wanted."
Zexion frowned a bit. "But why would it choose that path? What would it mean for someone to be put to that fate without a choice?" He asked.
Nira smiled, looking up at the sky and pushing her hair out of her face. "Well, it's because--" She paused to think "It's because we need to learn. Even though our heart doesn't beat or work, we still have one, we just need to shove our pride up our ass and say 'Oh well, I scerwed up' and then realise that other people our sharing the same pain and same thing we are. And that's why we're here."
She took a deep breath. "Sometimes...I just want to moon Xemnas and say 'your an idiot!' But, I'll wait for someone to moon him with me. Just so we get a good laugh and get the same punishment." Nira said with laughter in her voice.
Zexion smiled and nodded, standing up and crossing his arms he felt Nira's hand rest on his chest where is heart was susposed to be. She closed her eyes and a faint glow sparked in her hand. "I can feel it. It's beating." She said and ran into the roof exit so she could go back down the stairs.
Zexion was puzzled. He felt something stiring in his stomach, like butterflies. He felt his face getting hot. He felt something beat against his ribs. He jumped out of his shoes. "What?" He said puzzled. He unwound his arms and pressed one hand over his chest where his heart would be. He felt a beat. A fast, steady, living and calming beat.
"She's right." He felt a tear roll down his cheek and watched it drop onto his gloved hand. "She's right..." Sighing happily. "She is truly going to change everything." And he was gone inside the hotel.
Zexion jumped in front of her. "Run! Now!" Axel and Demyx dissapeared in a black hole. Saix grabbed onto her shoulder but she broke free forcing herself onto Zexion. "You don't have to do this!" She screamed.
He smiled. It was full of feeling. Happiness, sadness, love and hate. Confusion and justice, courage and afraid. But his smile meant everything.
He looked away for a brief moment and then looked back to her. "Go, while you still can. Just promise, you won't forget me. Never let me totally live in darkness. Knowing that you will remember me is all that I need." He looked up. Saix was gone.
Opening a dark hole he pushed her towards it. "Go." He said and turning, begining to run.
"Wait!" She called. Zexion turned. "I'll remember you. I'll make you come back. Just don't let go. Promise?" She said.
He nodded. She turned and dissapeared in a moment.
He felt a tears fall down his cheeks as the keyblade flew for him. Holding out his arms by his sides he waited. Then it came. In a quick and painless movement followed by a painful slam into a brick wall he began to bleed.
"Remember me---And I'll--always--hang-on..." Slowly his body turned cold along with the falling sun.
Nira woke to the sound of Axel falling to the floor followed by a beeper of the alarm clock. "Get up!" Saix began.
"We're off. To The Land of the Dragons." He began.
Ashes-Here it is! The new chapter! Review! And message if wanted! C'mon, it can't be all that bad? Can it? sniffle
