Chapter 4
About a week later…
I had woken up, as usual. Got prepared for the day by making sure I did not have bed head, cleaning heartless blood off my katana, and peeping into Roxas's room real quick to see if I could learn anything more about love from him and Namine. Namine wasn't in his room, she never is in the mornings, neither is Roxas so why do I keep bothering to check? I went out into the main lobby area in the Castle That Never Was. I finally learned what this place was called. Kind of a creative name if you ask me. So I went out into the lobby area and saw three other fellow nobodies. The one with long pink hair, another with hair that covered half his face, and Saix. I went up to Saix and asked "what is my mission today?" He turned around and said "are you incapable of reading?" He pointed to a paper that was put up on the wall. I looked over and walked to it. "Vacation…" I read, I somehow already knew what that word meant. Then Saix had came over to me and said "yes, it means you may do whatever you please today as long as you stay out of trouble." I nodded and went off. Hmmm….I thought to myself, what to do, what to do? See what Roxas is up to? But he is nowhere to be found. Axel? Oh god why did the thought even enter my head. Oh I know! How much munny did I have..? I had been given money frequently as rewards for missions. I went to my room and checked my stash. 3,110….I counted. I think that's well over more than enough to buy myself some sea salt ice cream. I went to Twilight Town and started heading towards the ice cream shop. I went out into the Sandlot. There were three kids there. They looked about my age. The three of them quickly noticed me and stared at me blankly. "Uhhh….hello?" I said nervously, it felt as if they were staring at me like some kind of alien. Then the largest of them three of them with the weirdest looking hair pointed at me and shouted "HEY! I've seen that coat before! You must know Roxas!" Good god, is Roxas popular everywhere? I mentally asked myself that. Then the girl amongst the three said "I think he looks good in the coat, and I love his eyes, are you wearing highlighted contacts to make them look red?" As if instantly getting jealous the other boy that hadn't spoken yet decided to cut in. "Hey! Don't be checking out total strangers!" Then he continued on. "For all we know this guy can just be a cold blooded killer!" The three kids got into an argument amongst themselves. "That's what you always say Hayner! And I can check out whoever I want!" The girl shouted in his face. Then the large kid decided to speak also, to this boy that was named Hayner. "seriously dude, you're the main reason we can't make any new friends! Cause you always gotta instantly assume everyone is bad just by their appearance!" I chuckled from their shouting fest as I watched. This is better than ice cream, I thought to myself. When finally the girl turned to me and asked "what is your name?" Then I blankly looked at her and just replied "Luxajin, can I ask what your name is?" "OMIGOSH!" She shouted. "I am so sorry, we must have been so rude not to introduce ourselves!" she continued on. "I'm Olette, this is Pence, and this ungrateful son of a" "I'm Hayner!" The boy cut her off. Now by this point I was guessing the girl named Olette was fuming mad. "Hayner! Can you ever let me finish a sentence!" Olette shouted at Hayner. I chuckled to myself. They kept on arguing while me and Pence watched. These two fought like an old married couple, it was kind of funny. I looked up though, when I noticed something flying over. It was a dark, black, demon shaped figure with wings. Oh god, not again, I thought to myself. Am I seriously the only one who saw this? As Hayner and Olette kept on arguing with each other Pence decided to be and said "you know you two would make a great couple! Am I right Luxajin?" He asked while he was elbowing me. But I paid no attention. As I was still looking up. What was that thing…I mentally asked myself. "Hellloooo? Luxajin!" When I turned my head down I saw Hayner and Olette having a beating fest on Pence, probably for that comment he made. Hayner was on top of Pence while Olette was standing up kicking him in the side while Pence was getting the crap beaten out of him by Hayner. They would make a great team, Hayner and Olette, but couple? I don't know. I'm not really the relationship type. But I didn't forget about the dark figure I saw. "Hey I gotta get going." I said to the three. Hayner got off Pence and said "oh really? Ok then buh bye!" Olette gave me a quick little wave good bye. Pence was half unconscious so I guess me waving to him was good enough. As soon as I was out of sight of all three of them I began dashing through the streets of Twilight Town. Looking for whatever that dark figure was. I decided to check in the woods. As I went in, I checked the skies again. Nothing. I looked back down. Suddenly I felt a swoop of wind behind me. I nervously turned around. "SWEET KINGDOM HEARTS!" I yelled as I jumped back. What came up behind me was the figure I saw. It had devil horns, muscles, no mouth, glowing yellow eyes, wings, and it was floating. Also it had a sword. The pitch black creature suddenly began floating around me. Going around me in circles over and over again. I pulled out my diamond katana ready to fight this living nightmare creature. I took one slash but I missed. Then it suddenly disappeared…and before I knew it, the sword it was holding was flying right at me. I dodge rolled out of the way. I was starting to get better at that. But I wasn't so lucky the second time around. The blade hit me dead on in the stomach. I shrieked with pain. Then the monster reappeared and let out a shockwave of energy. Sending me flying back and slammed me hard against a tree. I moaned from the pain, everything was starting to fade… I had to get away from this thing. My limit breaker attack! I remembered! I think I was on my final limits! This was my last chance, seeing I had no chance at all against this monster fighting it regularly. I focused… Suddenly a burst of energy came to me and used the technique I discovered when I first used the limit breaker. I began going up into the sky from the dark energy coming to me. While more flew around me. I quickly moved a darkness speed and came behind the monster and slashed it dead on in the back. Then I sank into the ground and came back up, my body completely black from the dark aura that came to me. The dark energy flowing around slashing the monster too. Then I pointed my hand at it. Then a huge beam of dark energy came out of it and obliterated the forsaken monster. It exploded and was dead for sure. My limit breaker energy left me. But I didn't feel so beaten up anymore. I pulled a potion out of my pocket and used it on myself. Now, I've had a little too much action for today I thought to myself. I guess I'll RTC. But first as I originally planned. Get some sea salt ice cream!
Later…
Back in the castle I came back. When I did in the lobby room a few fellow nobodies suddenly started clapping for me. I was just blank. The three fellow nobodies were Saix, Vexen, and Xigbar. "Why are you guys clapping for me?" I asked. "Cause you didn't let that Orcus kill your sorry behind." Vexen stated. "Wait…you sent that thing after me!" I asked worriedly. "Why not?" Saix asked. He continued on "we wanted to see if you could hold your own. So yes, you can say we did." "Hey you gotta give the kiddo some props though! He remembered to use his limit breaker attack!" Xigbar said happily. I smiled from his comment. At least one fellow nobody supports me. Saix then said "since you have proven you can handle yourself, we will begin sending you on missions where you work alone. But don't think all of your missions shall be like that. We're trying to keep you alive. Just think of it like that." I only nodded and walked away from the three. "That boy might be major trouble if we don't treat him right…" Vexen stated. "Hey hey, just treat him nicely alright. He seems to have no problems with just doing what he is told." Xigbar said.
I went into my room and laid down on the bed. I kept that ice cream stick from before and looked at it. It still said winner on it. I guess I'll ask Roxas what it means later.
