Theme: 89. Through The Fire
Pairing: AxelxLarxene
Summary: She thought he was vulnerable through his fire curtain...she was wrong.
Rating: T for language and strong sexual implications
Time line: Probably in CoM? Anytime before Larxene dies, I guess...also, Xion is not in the Organization yet.

&-&-&-&

It was so good to be crazy. Couple that with the fact she was the only girl in the Organization and everyday was a good day for Larxene. A new day meant a new target, either for punching or for flirting. Larxene got a sick kick out of being the only temptress in the Castle That Never Was. No one was safe from her haughty ways (except Xemnas and Saix and for good reasons).

Larxene's sickest kicks were from getting wusses like Demyx, Roxas, Namine and Vexen to tremble when she approached them. She enjoyed the shock on Demyx's face when she would lay soft hands on him in a suggestive way, only to deliver a static shock of electricity that left the poor nocturne writhing in pain. She was thrilled when Roxas tried to stand up against her and she could shove him aside like he was a feather. Once in a while she would swing her hips in a seductive way and direct it at Zexion, Demyx, Axel or Marluxia. It goes without saying she was not only savage, but also a whore with no morals. But then again, how can you have morals when you don't have a heart?

Today she decided to try her luck on Axel. Maybe she could finally get a cheap fuck out of him. It had been a while since she last had sex. Marluxia knew how to satisfy her body that left her gasping and smirking for two weeks. Larxene was ready to see if Axel was just as good.

She found him in the arena. He was surrounded by a curtain of fire, which made her smirk. "This must be because he's so vulnerable now. A lamb for the slaughter, or in my case an easy fuck in the making," she thought.

"Piss off, Larxene," came Axel's voice. Somehow he knew she was there. Maybe she made a slight noise.

"No. You know why I'm here, Axel."

"I'm not interested, Larxene."

"Everyone is. It's the only thing people with no hearts actually crave. So give in to your body's wants and come over here with your clothes off," Larxene said in a sultry voice.

"Why should I?" Axel demanded. "Just because Xigbar, Luxord and Marluxia gave in to you..."

"Zexion and Demyx as well," Larxene interrupted.

"You forced them to, against their wills," Axel pointed out, which only made Larxene laugh.

"We're NOBODIES. We don't have wills! We just do what we're told from Superior Xemnas and the rest of the time we sulk around the castle. It's pretty frigging boring, if you ask me. At least I know how to keep the majority of the castle entertained," Larxene said, approaching him with her cloak beginning to slip off. "So let me give you a piece of what Marluxia enjoys so much."

"Why would I want anything that pink haired bastard had?"

Larxene gritted her teeth. Damn, she chose the wrong words. Axel and Marluxia have a very hated relationship toward each other. Getting into Axel's pants was going to be harder now.

"Take a little off your mind...hey, why not? We're Nobodies. It's not like we can regret what we do later."

"But you would if you had a heart."

Okay, that stung. Larxene wanted her heart back just as much as anyone else in the Organization. But until then, she thought taking advantage of the emotionless state she was in would be fine.

"Hey Larxene..." Axel suddenly got a smirk on his face. "When you get your heart back, you'll be able to feel and regret again. Think you'll remember being the Castle's own whore? Will you regret being the 'Whore That Never Was'? Will you be able to show your face again?"

Larxene was silent. She had never thought of this before. The blood rushed to her face and she glared, sparks shooting from her hands.

"Anyone who looks at me funny, I'll just kill them."

"But you'll have a heart by then, Sparks. You might actually hate it. You might actually cry over it. You might even regret it." That damn smirk was growing wider. Axel knew he was winning.

"Then I guess I better not see any of you assholes again!" Larxene yelled. She was about to leave when Axel asked another question.

"Hey Larxene, with a heart back inside you, you'll be able to love. Think you'll ever find love?"

"No." The answer was blunt and simple. It surprised Axel, and he dispelled his fire curtain to walk toward her.

"Why not?"

"I never was able to before I lost it. Just because I'll regain it, doesn't mean I'll suddenly fall for the next passing loser."

"Aw, Larxene..." Axel suddenly grinned, enjoying his little game. "What if I was the next passing loser?"

"You just said you don't want anything Marluxia had!" Larxene snapped.

"You're right. He had your emotionless body. But I would prefer having your heart."

For once, Larxene had no retort.

The next day, Demyx was anxiously waiting for Larxene to pass his room so he could leave without being noticed. He was Larxene's favourite punching bag since she was an electricity user and he was a water user. It was more painful than anyone could know how much it hurts to have even the slightest bit of her volts shock him.

The sound of footsteps echoed from the other end of the hall. Demyx sucked in a deep breath and waited. As they got closer, he realized that it wasn't just one set of footsteps...it was...two??

The Melodious Nocturne dared to peek outside his door. If he had a heart, he would later say to Luxord that he was surprised to see Axel and Larxene walking beside each other. Larxene, for once, didn't look scary and Axel had a weird smirk on his face.

And Luxord would never believe him.
