Chapter 5: Falling for you
Things carried on as normal with Organization XII. Not much had happened anywhere. 'So dull' thought Zexion. It was the middle of the afternoon and there hadn't been anything to do all day. Finally he decided to just go back to his room to visit his cat. Oh, and to answer your questions I know you're thinking. Yes, he loves it & no, he doesn't not torture it.
The cat is a loving cross between a dark blue and a pitch black. It was a gift from Xigbar from when they had turned into Nobodies. Zexion had been sad, though he wouldn't show it, so The Free Shooter had given it to him to cheer him up. He kept it ever since. He named her Shadow.
Once inside the lilac haired teen patted his legs and called "Here Shadow." Nothing happened. 'That's odd. She usually comes running' You see, Shadow was just like Zexion. And was trained very well. She ALWAYS came when he called. If she didn't, that either meant she got out or something was wrong.
"Darn. Shadow got out again." So he went to look.
3 hours later…
"Come down from there, Shadow!" The Cloaked Schemer had found his pet on a rafter high up in one of the rooms of the castle. "Come on, kitty!" he yelled. The cat just meowed in response. 'Well,' Zexion thought 'the only way she'll get down is if I go up' So, he backed up until his back was to the wall. Suddenly, he ran until he made it to the center of the room. Then, he jumped forward, did a handspring, and landed in a crouching position on the rafter.
Unknown to him, he was being watched. Being watched by a certain Nobody that had given him the cat in the first place. 'Wow!' Xigbar thought 'I didn't know he could do that. Actually, I didn't know he could do a lot of things'
Back with Zexion…
Slowly he stood up and spread his arms out. Swiftly but surly he turned so he was facing the direction Shadow was facing. Very, very slowly he made his way toward his cat. All of a sudden, his food slipped causing him to lose his footing.
With Xigbar
'Okay, he's standing up blah, blah, blah, he's moving blah, blah, blah, he's falling blah, bla- wait. Falling! Oh shoot!' Thought Xigbar.
With Zexion…
'I'm gonna die. Well, at least I kinda had a good life.' Zexion felt the air rush past his face. 'I really hope this is painless.' While in the air he braced himself for impact.
It never came.
What happened…
'Shoot! If he falls that height he'll die.' Without a second thought he ran into the room, trying to get there before he hit the ground. 'At this rate I'll never make it' So, he took one last sprint and jumped with his arms outstretched.
At the last second, less than a foot before number 6 hit the ground, Xiggy caught the young teen. For a moment they rolled on the ground. When Xigbar finally decided to open his eyes, he looked down to see an unconscious 16-year-old under him. One arm wrapped around his waist, one around his upper torso. He got up, carrying Zexion bridal style, back to his room.
When he laid the boy on his bed, he let his hand liger on his face longer than need be. 'Ya know, he's kind of cute like this' Then Xigbar left giving one last glance at the small, fragile boy. For some reason, while he was laying in bed, he looked more small and fragile than he should have.
When he woke up, he found a note on his desk.
Dear Zexion,
No, you're not dead. Yet. I saved you before you hit the ground. Try to be more careful next time. I can't always save you. Hope ya wake up soon,
Xigbar
P.s. Your cat is asleep in your room now.
Zexion read the letter over again. After a few minutes he went to search for Xigbar. To thank him.
So, What did you think? I might make one more person fall in love but you have to choose that in your review. So, Review! .
