Hey guys and gals it's me again! Thanks for all of you who reviewed, it seems that everyone's on the edge from the cliffy of the last chapter. So without further ado, I present chapter 3 of Binding Ties. Yay!
As always I have never once in my life owned Kingdom Hearts but I own my OC Rena and Square Enix you can't have her so nah!
'Thoughts' means Saix's thoughts and 'Thoughts' are Rena's thoughts.
Chapter 3- The Man With No Aura
Rena and Saix were both sprawled on the ground on opposite sides.
"Ouch..." Rena got up slowly, "Well that was the first time someone actually got me..."
"A tie" Saix murmured as he got up, his claymore disappearing as he looked at Rena.
Rena dusted herself off, sheathing her sword on her back. "So we got each other at the same time?" She asked looking at Saix.
He nodded, "Seems so. This is what I think," Saix clicked his fingers and opened a portal "Choose. Stay here or come with me."
Rena just stared at him "You mean you're actually letting me choose?"
Saix nodded "A tie isn't necessarily a loss but, it isn't a win either right? So choose."
Rena stood thinking, 'To find them, I guess I need help, but do I really need Organization 13 help for this? But then again I know they're out there in some form or another like...' She looked at Saix once more who stood looking at the heart shaped moon.
'...A Nobody...' She sighed, 'What have I got to lose?'
"Let me tell you something Saix"
"Huh?" Saix looked at her once more.
"I'm looking for some people and for some reason I feel that the only way I'll find them, is that..."
"Yes?"
"...If I go with you. But don't get the wrong idea. It's obviously in my best interest to follow you..." She smirked.
'It's in your best interest? How amusing...Hmm, I think I'm starting to like you even more.'
"Also I'm not joining your organization, unless I find it beneficial to me" She added with that strange smile of hers.
"I see. Well?"
She walked up to him "After you, lead the way."
Saix entered the portal and Rena followed him.
"I take it this isn't your first time going through the corridors of darkness?" Saix asked while walking through the endless darkness.
"Yeah you're right it isn't my first time, I use this on a daily basis. How did you think I got to the strange place with buildings and neon lights, by heh Gummi ship?" She added with a small laugh.
Saix thought for a moment "Good point, but you are not a Nobody. How are you able to use portals? Unless of course you have ties to the..."
Rena stopped walking causing Saix to turn to her, "Let's just say it's a part of me." She replied placing her hand on chest for a moment before she began walking.
'A part of you?'
Rena walked past Saix with that strange smile of hers "C'mon Saix let's go, I don't want to stay in the corridors more than I need to you know" She added with a small laugh.
'She's hiding something...'
Saix nodded, "Right" And so he and Rena continued to walk until they were met with a white hole.
"Alright we're here."
They appeared in a grand hall completely in white. "Whoa," Rena looked around amazed, "For a bunch of guys who can't defeat a 19 year old girl, you sure know how to live!"
Saix turned to her, "But I-"
"So is this her?" A voice asked.
Rena looked up and saw 13 large white thrones above her. She saw a person in a hooded coat sitting on the highest throne, in front of her. She stared intently at the hooded person and came to a realization...
'He has no aura...But how is that possible?'
Saix jumped to his seat opposite to the hooded person, "Yes"
They took of their hood, to reveal their silver hair and amber eyes.
"You must be Rena correct?"
"Yeah that's me, but who are you?"
"I am Xemnas leader of Organization XIII"
'So he's the big boss around this place'
"Oh so you're the one who made Axel, Demyx and Saix go after me?"
He nodded in response. Rena crossed her arms and continued to stare hard at Xemnas "So do you think I'm going to help you?"
"Not really"
This answer caught her off guard, all the while Saix continued to listen in.
"Then why am I here?"
"Didn't you come here from your own will? Saix gave you a choice and you made it" Rena couldn't reply back to that, so she looked away. Xemnas smirked a bit at her reaction.
"Perhaps you'll find what you need here"
Rena looked at Xemnas once more. "Why are you helping me? Why do you care? What do you want from me?"
Xemnas didn't reply to Rena's barrage of questions, but he gave a look to Saix, from which Saix understood and gave a nod in reply. He looked at Rena once more, "Until we meet again Rena"
"Hey wait! You haven't..." But Xemnas had left in a portal before she could finish.
'Damn! But why is he doing all of this?'
"Come Rena, I'll show you your room" Saix voice broke the silence and awakened Rena from her thoughts. She looked at Saix,
"So you're going be looking after me now?" She asked with a grin. He didn't reply but jumped down and began walking.
"Hey what's the deal with everyone, walking away without answering my questions?" She exclaimed running after him.
Meanwhile, Xemnas is in a meeting with the rest of Organization XIII, and currently it's not going so well...
"Hey Sups, you mean that girl is going to be a guest in the castle? We have never had guests before" Demyx asked.
Xemnas sighed "Yes Demyx, and for the hundredth time already stop calling me 'Sups' it's either superior or Xemnas CHOOSE ONE!"
Demyx shrugged "Aww, but I liked Sups" While the others stared at Xemnas with different expressions
Xigbar, Xaldin, Lexaeus and Zexion remained indifferent.
Marluxia wondered if this girl would help him in his plan to take over the Organization.
Larxene was annoyed since there was going to be another 'woman' in the castle.
Luxord wondered if she was the type of girl who took 'chances'.
Axel was happy since he could see the girl he fancied, again, after he lost miserably to her.
Roxas couldn't care less about this girl, so what if she could beat Axel and Demyx. It was AXEL and DEMYX after all.
Demyx was still wondering whether he should call his boss 'Sups' or 'Xen the man'
All the while Vexen thinking what the hell was wrong with Xemnas.
Xemnas sighed again, "It's a wonder why I hardly have these meetings. Look all I'm saying is that this girl is not our enemy so please refrain from trying to kill her"
"But if this girl is not a Nobody or an ally of ours why have you allowed her to stay here Xemnas?" Vexen asked.
"You don't need to worry about that Vexen." Their faces weren't satisfied with his response.
"I understand that you are confused. Let's just say this girl has talents that will be of use to the Organization" This response was more pleasing to the others.
"Are you satisfied now?" Xemnas asked.
Everyone nodded with a small yes from Demyx who had a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Yes...Sups!"
At that point, Xemnas resisted all urges to 'permanently' get rid of Number Nine.
"This is going to be a long day..."
Sorry if it was really boring in this chappie with all the talking, but it had to be done to move the story forward. I did try to make it funny at the end and I absolutely adore Demyx, I tried to make him the comic relief of the Organization, I hope you like his personality and I'll try to not make him too OOC but I can't make any promises! Well that's enough of my rant, hope you enjoyed chap 3 Binding Ties. Remember guys and gals REVIEW!!!!! I'll give ya cookie if you do!
