Lots of hits, a few story alerts, and here's the next chapter. And I'm trying to figure out Facebook in another window. I'm failing. I am a sad, sad person.
Disclaimer in first chapter.
XI: Marluxia, Graceful Assassin
She dodged to the side, avoiding the scythe's blade. Those pink flower petals flowed freely through the air as she deftly fired at him.
"Tsk, tsk," he scolded. "You still think your puny arrows can reach me?"
She jumped back from his sweep, calculating her next move. She took a deep breath before tightening her grip on her bow and charging at him with a sudden burst of courage. She hissed, a deep cut appearing on her shoulder. She hesitated when she sustained another injury, this time to her leg, before continuing single-mindedly. She smirked in triumph as she gained his back, emitting a soft "Heh!" before drawing back the string on her bow, arrow already set in place, ignoring the pain from her shoulder.
Marluxia spun and froze as he realized his predicament. He chuckled and released his weapon.
"You'll do, Number XIV. You may assist us in our mission."
The Crystal Archer straightened, letting her bow disappear as well. She smiled victoriously.
"I'd be glad to help, so to speak. I thank you for allowing me this opportunity."
"Oh, don't be so formal, Arihx!" Larxene barked. "Look at Axel. He's never even heard of the word." The girl automatically looked toward the fire master, expecting but not seeing the usual from him. Sure, he was lying as comfortably on the couch as he could possibly get, but he was watching her suspiciously, it seemed. She stared back at him in retaliation, snapping him out of that mood and making him revert to his usual, laid-back self. Arihx sighed inwardly. This was going to be difficult.
So. Another short chapter. This fic will have many, lest I actually do a real storyline for it. Then, it should have fairly long chapters. But that shall be left up to the readers, if they want a thicker plotline and whatnot.
Arihx: I thought you weren't going to say anything about that until the last chapter was out.
