Chapter 4
Akirax slept soundly through the rest of the operation. Later in the day Zexion let the Axel come in and check on her.
Axel, being the curious person he was, decided to see if he could get any answer about her out of her. So he woke her up. She was extremely drowsy though.
"So, how'd you lose your arm and leg?" Axel asked her.
Even in her drowsy state Akirax was still able to think strait and she answered his questions.
"I tried to transmute my sister with alchemy."
"Transmute?"
"Create something out of something else."
"Why would you do that?"
"I wanted to see her again."
"What made you think you could transmute her?"
"I thought I had found the missing link. The part of the puzzle that my friend Edward had missed in his attempt to bring his mom back. But I was wrong."
"Then what happened?"
"I was attacked by those black creators."
Zexion joined Axel in the questioning. "Heartless?"
Akirax looked over at Zexion and nodded,
"I guess. I remember seeing my brother and asking him to help me. But then something grabbed me, and it wasn't a heartless. It pulled me into darkness. I found myself in front of a large gate. The gate opened and I saw a bunch of eyes. I remembered seeing something else there, off in the distance, it was a boy. He looked about 10. But before I could ask any question I was pulled into the gate by a bunch of black hands. After that I felt like all the knowledge of the universe was being shoved into my skull. It
hurt, but I understood it. Then I thought I saw my sisters outline so I started reaching for it. But the gate spat me back out before I could reach it."
Akira looked up at the gate; she realized that the answer to a successful transmutation was inside that gate. She ran up and banged on the door.
"YOU GOTTA LET ME BACK IN THERE!! I SAW IT! THE TRUTH WAS IN THERE! EVERYTHING WAS IN THERE!!"
A rumbling sound emerged from the gate. But Akira seemed to understand was it was saying,
"Equivalent exchange? What do you want?" Suddenly her right arm began to deteriorate right in front of her. Akira screamed out, but managed to control herself, she knew she was running out of time.
"LET ME SEE IT ONE MORE TIME!! YOU CAN HAVE MY LEG TOO! JUST LET ME SEE IT!!" This was the stupidest thing Akira could have asked for. The gate once again opened and pulled her inside. Little did she notice the heartless that had followed her through the gate. This time she concentrated on everything and ignored her sister. She felt her right leg being taken, but something else caught her eye. It was another door inside the gate. This time she used all her will power to reach the door. But as she did so, she remembered that the heartless had taken her heart, and that most likely if she went back to her world she would die. So she reached for the other door handle.
"Anything else?" Akirax asked skeptically. She was starting to get annoyed, and for some reason the right side of her body was really cold.
Axel shook his head and answered, "Just one more question from me. If you had the opportunity to go home, would you?"
Akirax moved her right hand up to her face and bit her thumb, it was cold and hard. She then answered, "No, I couldn't. I basically attempted the greatest taboo in the history of my world. Don't create humans. So the minute I got home I would be arrested and put in jail."
Axel shrugged and said, "Ok good to know." Then he stood up grinning cockily and said, "Oh and by the way, you smell like a cheap hooker."
"I WHAT?!" Akirax jumped out of her bed. She looked down at herself and realized that she had been equipped with auto-mail, and she smelled really bad. Like Japanese cherry blossom lotion. Cherry blossoms….
"That B!!" Akirax growled. When could have he had done that? Zexion and the other two had left Akirax alone for a few minutes to go and talk to the others about how she had lived through the operation.
"Yep, I think Mar left you a present, for what happened earlier." Roxas scoffed as he entered the room.
Akirax growled and shoved Roxas out of her way, she threw open the door and stalked over to the nearest bathroom. "Alexsa, could you get me some clothes? I'm taking a shower. I gotta get this crap off me."
Alexsa nodded and ran off to get Akirax clothes.
Yani doubled over in laughter, "He got you? Hahahahha!! That's pretty pathtic…"
Akirax frowned, clinched her hand into a tight fist and muttered, "I hope he realizes that this means war."
Zexion walked up behind Akirax and said, "Just go get cleaned up, that stench is killing me." He pinched his nose; Zexion was extremely sensitive to strong smells. But he smiled anyways and patted Akirax on the back. "At least be grateful that he didn't try to do anything else. Like shave your eyebrows off." Zexion looked over at Yani, who was grinning innocently.
Akirax rolled her eyes and walked off to the bathroom.
After she finally got the scent to go away Akirax put on the Org's basic uniform and walked out. There was no one to be seen. So out of pure boredom Akirax bent down and drew a transmutation circle on the floor. She placed her hands on it, and created a piano and a bench. She sat down, placed her hands on the keys, and let her fingers do the thinking for her. The once silent room was now full of breath taking melody. This helped Akirax calm down enough to be able to think strait. She started planning on how she was going to get Marluxia back, how she was going to tell her brother what happened, how she would have to explain herself to Edward, or if the two of them would even recognize her. And also figure out what the feeling was that would take over her when Zexion was around. With each new thought the tune she was playing would change. Akirax hadn't noticed it but Zexion had pulled up a chair next to her, Demyx and Yani were leaning on the back of her piano, Roxas was sitting on the floor behind her, and Axel had his arm around Alexsa trying to hold her up right. Alexsa's cheeks were wet from tears. Akirax notice none of this, but let the sensation of peacefulness that had over taken her from the music control each move of her fingers. She started to hum to the melody that she played. Finally as she finished playing, her hands slowly came to a stop.
Zexion started clapping. Akirax looked up, her face red from embarrassment, the others started clapping. Alexsa threw herself on Akirax and gave her a hug,
"That was beautiful!" She sniffed.
Akirax laughed, shocked that she hadn't noticed the others gather around her earlier.
Suddenly a man with blue hair and an x on the middle of his forehead entered the room, he glanced at Akirax and then said, "The superior has a mission for you Axel, he said the others could help you if you'd like.
Axel looked back at everyone else they all shrugged, meaning they were all game. Axel looked back and said, "Whats the job?"
"Who knew packing boxes would be such a pain." Roxas grimaced, handing Akirax a bunch of packing peanuts. Roxas looked over at Axel who was relaxing in a chair. He said he was taking a break, even though he hadn't done anything.
"That lazy bum." Akirax muttered under her breath.
Roxas laughed.
Akirax asked, "So what's Mr. Macho over there's weakness anyways?"
Demyx had moved next to Akirax and put something inside the box. "One weakness is water."
Yani jumped over to the box shoving bubble wrap in. "Another one is…" she, Roxas, and Demyx looked over at Alexsa who was getting on Axel's case for not helping. "Alexsa." Yani finished laughing.
Roxas grinned, "The other weakness is something I learned about a little while after I met him. Apparently he is sensitive to certain noses."
Akirax cocked her head, "Like what?"
Roxas chuckled, "I don't know… Just really high pitch noses, like a dog whistles or something."
Akirax began thinking of really high pitched noses as she shut the lid of the box, "Hey Alexsa could you hand me the scotch tape?" She asked absentmindedly.
Alexsa walked over and handed it to her.
Akirax took it and stared at it for a few minutes, "So something high pitched… Like this?" she pulled on the tape quickly and it made a loud "sssrrrttccch" nose.
Axel's eye's nearly popped out of his head. "GAAAAHHH!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO KILL ME!?" Axel grabbed his ears and fell to the floor in agony.
Akirax practically died laughing. As did the others.
