Destiny: ... Shouldn't I say it...?
Kairi: Shh, the chapter's about to start!

I walked to the front desk of my English teacher. I could see his icy blue hair fade into a deeper blue. I could see his one unconcealed deep blue eye glaring at me, him set his book down. It only made me more nervous.
He opened one of his drawers and pulled out white cloth, "You must re-bandage your wound."
I nodded and took the cloth. While I wrapped it around my wounded hand I asked, "How did you know it was bleeding out?"
"Just a feeling," He muttered. "I also know why you were late so you don't have to make any explanations."

Lusting for Blood
I took a seat at the back of the classroom. I didn't even bother to unload my materials; I just threw my head on the desk and shut my eyes, ignoring all the whispers and muffles. I could here the creaks from people's steps and the tap of their shoes tapping to unknown rhythms. It reminded me of the sound of my heart. But its rhythm right now wasn't to an upbeat pound but a slow, quiet depressing pulse.
What was the reason for all this depression? The answer I was still unsure of, or maybe, I just didn't want to know; or rather, I didn't want to admit. I knew at times I could be a bad person but how could he let me suffer like this? How many times would I have to apologize to be forgiven? More importantly, what would I say after "Sorry"? After all, every apology needed a point. It wasn't right to express regret without having a reason for it. You can't just act contrite and except people to immediately forgive you even though you didn't know what you did in the first place, you definitely couldn't do that.
I was sighing when the door shut, the whispers grew, and I could hear the teacher's voice. I thought that it may have been just another stunning student; they seemed to be all over the place.
Footsteps crept in my direction, getting louder and louder with each pace. Suddenly I heard a screech on the floor followed by some unknown sounds.
The air started to feel unfathomably cold; my fingers trembled.
The scent of the class was replaced by a hypnotizing aroma; my pulse raced.
I turned slightly and saw on one of the hands of the stranger were two rings on his index and middle finger, one black and the other white; my mouth dropped.
Why was fate so cruel? This time I meant fate as in doom and fortune and Fate Academy. It was like somebody was trying to hurt me on purpose, not only by having us argue but placing us side by side, literally.
I took a breath and sat straight. I was going to let this get to me, no way. I would sit here like I didn't care and if things got bad, I'd walk out. There was no reason to be afraid of him, yet I was. I felt like I understood now. This antagonism I called hatred was just a cover up for my trepidation towards Roxas. I didn't really hate him, I was just afraid of him; although, I'd have to keep this odium obscurity to myself. My apprehension would just be my secret; this surreptitious would be mine and mine only.
"It seems there was a brutal killing in the streets of London not so long ago."
My eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets at the statement.
"Apparently some monstrous beast attacked a street full of people nearby here." He shut his eyes, "The fascinating part of the story is they are unaware if such a creature is a human."
"I thought the mortals didn't know we existed," A dark haired boy asked.
"They don't," our teacher clarified. "But according to the article, the way the individual moved was rather animal like."
"They don't suspect it's one of us, do they?" A girl with a heavy British accent questioned. "They don't think there's something 'out there'?"
"Some are suggesting that theory but most just think it was a wild animal. Nevertheless, we'll have to just remain how we always have, hidden."
I let out a sigh of relief and sunk back into my seat. Everything was fine, a little shaky but fine.
I turned to Roxas, his eyes at the front of the board. Her copied down the notes the teacher had put on the board. He seemed so eager to learn, that or he had nothing to do with me.
"He is so cute!"
"I know! Ohmygosh, do you think he'll look this way?!"
I tilted my head back a tad to catch a look at two girls giggled and whispering quietly while looking at Roxas. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. They should have working, not talking about Roxas! He wasn't a cute toy; he was clearly a cute boy! There was huge difference between the two.
Ice hit my wound. I blushed and turned down.
Roxas had taken my hand and was rubbing his fingers against the bandaged place of my wound.
I stared down at my desk, my hair blocking my sight of the front of the class. I shut my eyes and breathed.
"Y-You shouldn't be l-like this with me," I shivered.
Roxas only continued.
"I-I disrespected you… Forgive me."
Roxas set his pencil down with his free hand, rested his elbow on the desk and used it to support his head. "There's no need for you to apologize."
I squeezed my eyelids closer together. "Please, just forgive me."
I heard Roxas sigh, "Fine. But just… Be careful."
"Oh! I promise I will!"
"Lower your voice," he demanded, his tone husky.
Embarrassed, I nodded. How could I have forgotten we were in class? I let out a moan.
"S-stop doing that."
I turned to him and cocked an eyebrow, "What…?"
The corner of his mouth twitched. He let go of my hand and clenched onto the side of his head. His eyes went from their beautiful blue to an uncanny golden.
"R-Roxas?" I said his name as if I were suffocating.
He arose, still clenching onto his head. Eyes grew and people puffed once Roxas eyes flashed open. Some screams were even uttered. The only one who I suppose remained calm was our teacher.
I stared down at me with his pained look. I could only look up at him in terror.
"I have to go!"
He simply ran out at a speed unknown.
"Calm down," my teacher commanded. "Continue as before."
We did as we were told. Well, everybody but me. I simply stared at where he had been. What was wrong with me that made him run? I knew what he was but around other people, his mouth never twitched and he had never acted this way. It was only around me when he got agitated. I had to know, I had to find out.
I stormed out of the classroom once the final bell had wrung.
"Got to get to a computer, got to get to a computer," I muttered to myself. I didn't care about those around me. I had to find out what was seriously going on with that boy.
"Destiny!"
I clenched my fist and turned to a smug smiling Axel. I didn't need to talk to Axel right now; I had more important things to do.
"Are you trying to get away from me?"
I rolled my eyes playfully, "Not you, the other guy with crazy red hair."
"So you've heard of my brother?"
I rolled my eyes again and smiled, "Hey, I've got to get going."
"With me, right?"
I raised my eyebrow, "What do you – Oh! Oh. I'm so sorry Axel; but I can't, not today."
"W-Why?"
"I've got some research to do," I stepped back. "So I'll see you around." I ran without hearing or speaking another word.
After signing into a computer at the library I quickly clicked an icon to open up the internet page. I went to a search engine and looked behind my back.
Lucky for me, the place was almost empty and nobody was nearby me. I breathed and then quietly typed the word into the search box.
Millions of hits showed up, I blushed. I clicked on a couple sights, reading some of the information. What I thought would occur happened. I was having a difficult time. It was hard to separate the reality from the illusions. One of the pieces of information had even stated that some female vampires would drink the fetuses off of pregnant women. I tried to imagine Sora trying such a think and only felt like vomiting.
Other things said that vampires bathed in blood to keep their youthful looks. I couldn't help but wonder if that was why Sora was so persistent on the showering schedule. I shook my head, Sora wouldn't bath in blood. Besides, showering schedules were normal.
Even the ways of protection seemed some what movie like. For instance, garlic, holy water, and the rosary were ways to ward off vampires. Placing a mirror on the outside of your door was a way to hold off vampires since according to the site, they had no souls; and apparently, you need a soul to be seen in mirrors and cast a shadow. Now that I thought about it, I never did remember seeing Sora look in a mirror. But I had seen her in a picture so didn't that mean she had a soul because of the lens of the camera? I wasn't sure. Another awkward way to protect yourself against vampires was to drive a stake into their heart. That way seemed wrong seeing that you probably need a heart to have a soul. So how could that work?
That's when I seriously thought about it. Most of these sights had probably been created by mortals or at least immortals to keep away humans from truly discovering our world. So the only logical way of knowing would be asking or reading it in a book made by an immortal. But surprisingly, in a school for assassins, you probably wouldn't be able to read about killing an inhuman. The only way of finding out would be going down to see him. And that was definitely not an option. This meant I'd have to ask. But then, everybody would know that I didn't know anything about this kind. They'd know that I'd just learned what I am and what I'm capable of. That also wasn't an option. I'd have to find another way to figure out what was going on. I'd have to find out but possibly not now. Now, I had to see how Roxas was doing. I had to make sure he would be all right and whatever I did wouldn't affect him too much. Once again, I had to apologize. But this time, I wasn't sure why. I guess, it just felt right to say sorry for causing him pain.
I exited the pages and signed out of the computer. Without wasting another second I walked out of the library.
Once I saw the door to his room I froze. I was going to have to face him but I couldn't bring myself to doing so. I was afraid, as usual. I took a deep breath, I had to think positive. There could have been a slight chance that I'd done nothing wrong; keyword being slight.
I walked to the door slowly and knocked on it.
It was a huge surprise to see Sora's shocked face staring back at me.
My face reddened, "Eh… Um…"
"You came… To see Roxas?"
"Using your psychic powers on me?"
"No, it's just obvious."
I nodded, "So… Can I see him?"
"Um… Give us a second."
Sora walked back into the room, only leaving a small crack between the door and wall. I shuffling and unclear sounds. Maybe Roxas' condition was more serious than I thought.
"You can come in!" Riku exclaimed.
I took a deep breath and walked into the room.
Sora and Kairi stood protectively around Roxas, Riku stood tenderly with Namine. She glared at me, not exactly coldly but just a glare. Sora, Riku, and Kairi looked nervous which only made me wonder, how dangerous was he?
"Destiny…"
My eyes averted to Roxas. He lay under his sheets, shirtless. I blushed at his white neck and collarbones.
"Why are you so far away?" His voice was weak and his eyes were barely open.
"She has to keep her distance Roxas," Namine said, turning to him.
"No, she doesn't," the tired vampire disagreed. "And you guys don't have to be so protective. I'm too tired to attack."
Kairi hesitated but stepped aside.
"W-What are you doing Kairi!?" Sora questioned.
"I trust Roxas," she mumbled. "And I know Destiny could take him on. Remember their fight?"
"You guys were there..?" I mumbled.
Kairi nodded and then turned to Sora, "Come on, don't you trust them?"
Sora clenched her fist but nodded. She stepped aside, "Yeah, I do."
"Can you guys go…?" Roxas uttered. "Come sit with me Destiny."
"…Roxas…?" Namine muttered.
"Let's go stand outside, we'll definitely be able to hear them," Riku smirked. "So you guys better not talk about anything personal."
"S-Shut… Up," Roxas moaned.
"We'll be leaving now," Kairi grinned. She took hold of both Namine and Sora's hands, dragging them out. Riku followed with a smirk on his face.
The heard the door shut, my face more red than usual. I wasn't sure now if I was scared or nervous, maybe both.
"Why aren't you sitting with me…? Des-tiny?" He said my name like it was two words. "Are you even… With me…? I can smell you some what but... I can't hear you. I'm too... Tired t-to hear you when y-you're so f-far... Away."
I walked up to where he lay, "I'm here, Roxas."
His eyes were shut; he took a breath, "The scent of an angel…"
He raised his head up and slowly seated himself, "Sit on the pillow."
I sat down, nervous for sure. Roxas lay his head on my lap gently. My thighs were cold but I didn't mind, I was used to his feel now. He opened his eyes, the awful gold color staring up at me.
"God. You're so addicting."
I bit my bottom lip, "W-What's wrong with you…?"
He moaned, "Nothing, nothing. Mmm… Actually, it's been so long."
I leaned in closer to him, "So long since what?" I was going to get my answer. I was going to finally understand.
"Since I've tasted human blood."
I raised my eyebrows. I didn't want to talk about this. It made me feel sick. I knew he had to do it but I didn't want to think or even discuss it.
"Animals… Are good for only so long. I thought... I would be fine without h-human blood but… You came." He laughed loud; I shook. "You rocked my world, Destiny!"
I chuckled, tensely. This behavior was so wrong and uncalled for. He was acting as if he was intoxicated. I wanted to stand and leave but what if it angered him?
"Oh, you don't understand…" He shut his eyes. "Can I hold your hand?"
I out stretched my hand to him with no hesitation. He grasped it and grinned, "It's so soft…" He opened his mouth and brought it close to my hand, "And hot!"
I pulled it away in terror; he looked up at me blankly.
"I won't bit you," He said quietly. "This I promise."
He held my hand tighter now, closer to his chest.
"I'm so tired… Can I…" He yawned.
I nodded, "Sweet dreams, Roxas."
I had wondered what he looked like asleep. I watched him close his eyes, still hold my hand. I yawned, I was pretty tired too. Maybe, just a moment of sleep would be fine. I could see Roxas' sleeping face early in the morning.
So cold.
The bed was so cold, so comforting.
Was it a bed?
It was soft. It had to be a bed.
But who's?
...So… Cold…
"Hey… Princess… Destiny…?"
Princess, that was title I could get used to when said from that voice.
My eyes fluttered opened.
Roxas.
My beautiful Roxas staring down at me.
My beautiful Roxas' skin on his face tightened.
My beautiful Roxas was here with me, in his room, standing and staring down at me lying in his bed.
My eyes widened, I searched the room. Nobody else was here. I spent the night… With him!?
I quickly sat up, "W-What? How?"
Roxas shut his hard blue eyes, "Doesn't matter. Do you want to take a shower now or what?"
"With you?!" Oh no. This wasn't happening. The sick bastard wanted me to shower with him. No, No. The answer was No.
Then why was my heartbeat racing in my chest.
"No, by yourself," he said calmly. I almost mistook it for sarcasm.
I blushed, nodding.
Roxas chuckled, "What a face…"
My face only reddened more. I stepped out of the bed and ran into the bathroom. I quickly locked the door, breathing hard.
What had I gotten myself into? All I could remember was resting with Roxas on my lap. I couldn't have fallen asleep for the whole night. I wasn't even that deep of a sleeper to end up not feeling somebody lift me into the bed.
Sighing, I tore off my clothes, tied up my hair, and stepped into the shower. I turned on the tap and shivered when it splashed on my skin. I rubbed my temples. I was so confused about Roxas. All I'd learned was that I smelt good and he hadn't drank human blood in such a long time so he'd fill himself up with animal blood. I took a quick whiff of myself. Everything smelt fine, not angelic like he had described.
"Where is she!?"
I raised an eyebrow. Was that… Axel? It was hard to tell with the running water flowing. But I couldn't shut it off or they'd know I was listening.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You know what I mean! Where is Destiny?"
Axel was looking for me. I wasn't sure if I should be happy or upset about that.
"I don't know," Roxas said. "It depends on which one you mean because I can tell you right now that if you don't leave, your destiny will probably have to do with you being in intensive care."
"As long as I get her away from you it doesn't matter what state I'll be in after."
I rushed out of the shower and threw my clothes on. I didn't even bother to complain that they were wet; I just had to get out.
"I'm here Axel," I stated once I opened the door.
He stared at me with disbelief. He was ashamed and upset. "You ditched me… To be with this jerk. Wow Destiny. I seriously thought you were different from every other girl; not all vampire crazy."
"I'm not like that!" I protested. "I j-just… I..." What could I say? Nothing that's what. Nothing I could say could work in my defense; all my words would go against me.
"I took advantage of her."
I stared at Roxas who held a heavy glare at Axel, receiving one back that was mixed with shock.
"You what?"
"You heard me right demon," Roxas shoved his hands into his pockets and smiled smugly. "I took advantage of her. She came over to comfort me after I tried to bite her in class. It was just the two of us and I guess I couldn't hold back. Had to have her, no matter how much she screamed for you."
I opened my mouth to call him out on his lie.
"Bastard!" Axel threw his fist right at the side of Roxas' face, knocking him to the ground.
"Roxas!" I squeaked. Getting on my knees I reached out for him, he only kept his smug smirking face at Axel.
The redhead shook his head, "I'm out of here. Talk to me when you get over this idiot Destiny." He walked out, slamming the door behind him.
I turned to Roxas, "Are you all right?"
"Damn it," he muttered. "That bastard throws hard punches. He must be a pretty strong demon for it to hurt like this."
"L-Let me fix it," I mumbled. Around his eye was a purple smudge, almost black. I'm not sure how because black eyes did have something to do with blood. All I knew for sure was Axel had given him a black eye, and he took it even though he did nothing wrong. He did it all for me, just because he saw I was struggling with the truth.
"It's all right," he stood up quickly on his own. "Hey, you should finish your shower."
I threw my head to the ground, "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For lying to him even though it cost you your health."
"I didn't lie to him Destiny, I really did take advantage of you, just not the way he's thinking. And this'll heal in less than a day or two."
I stared up at him, he stared back and then turned, "I'll get you some clothes."
I quickly stood and rushed to his side, "It's okay. I'll use magic."
He looked down at me and shook is head, "Don't waste your magic. Let me waste mine."
I tilted my head slightly, curious at the statement.
He picked up a phone nearby and dialed a number.
"Hey… Selphie, can I ask you for a big favor?"
I noticed the sudden change in his voice. It was more light and happy sounding.
"…Aw, thanks Selphie. Do you mind bringing me up a uniform?
.... No not for me, a girl's uniform.
.... Eh... You know Sora, right? Yes? Okay. Maybe something in her size."
He gaze me a quick up and done look; I blushed a wild shade of red.
"Yeah... But something smaller around the waist and hips."
He gaze me another up and down look; I hid my face away in my hands.
"...Definitely smaller around the waist.
... Oh it's not important. Just bring it up. I can't wait to see you."
"Don't ever do that again," I said pouting.
"You wear your uniform too big."
I shook my head, "I wear it the way I want to wear it."
Chuckling, he hung up and threw a hand over his eye, "Guess this will take away from my attractiveness, right?"
I shook my head and took his arm, "I think you look great."
He turned away, if he coud blush he'd probably be doing so right now.
"I want to be friends," he murmured. "Nothing more."
I grinned, "Good because that's what I'd like."
Roxas placed a hand on his hip, smiling, "You really are something. Most girls would be in tears if I told them that."
I shrugged, "They should be happy enough that they get a chance to be close to you, maybe not as a girlfriend but just as a friend is good too."
Roxas nodded and stepped close to me and tilted my head upwards, "So you really aren't vampire crazy?"
I bit my bottom lip and averted my eyes to the entrance door, "Yep."
"Hm," he let me go. "Too bad."
"Why?"
"Because I bit you."
My eyes grew but quickly lowered, "Liar! You would never do that."
Roxas chuckled, "You know me so well."
I laughed. This was fun, just talking so causally. I stretched and then winced. Something was jabbing into my back.
Roxas took a seat on his bed, "You all right?"
Cringing, I nodded. Why now did I have to suffer? Things were going good. I hadn't felt this pain in such a long time. I grabbed on to my hip, fighting to stay up.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
I shook my head and stepped back. I was going to be okay, I was going to be okay. But how could I with all this pain? I leaned downwards, coming to the ground.
Out of the blue I was grabbed.
Resting on an cherub's lap was my head. I stared up at him, my bottom lip shaking.
"I guess you can't sleep in my bed until your wounds are full healed," he smiled.
I frowned and turned to his stomach. My eyes welled up with tears; I let them fall. I cried facing his stomach, it hurt so bad. I didn't want to move or even breath, just lie there and cry. Suddenly, I felt his cold fingers running up and down my spine. I continued to cry even while he pulled off my hair tie and played with strands of my hair.
"Have you been taking your pain killers?"
I shook my head, "Your my pain killer..."
He threw his head back and chuckled, "Right..."
I muffled a couple words, still crying as he chuckled.
The door banged open.
"Destiny?!"
I turned my head and gawked at an astonished Selphie.
"I-It's not what it looks like!" How many times would I have to say that today? I tried to sit up but couldn't. I lay down on Roxas' lap helplessly.
"Poor door," Roxas muttered. "It's going through so much abuse today..."
"Oh, right!" Selphie shook her head in disappointment. "And you said you two weren't dating."
"We aren't," Roxas clarified. He stared at Selphie through black eyelashes, making her step back.
"You big jerk!" The fairy shouted. "How can you love Namine and do this to an innocent girl? You're such a cheat!"
"I am not," the blond growled. "Don't you dare suggest such a thing."
"I can't believe I ever liked you! At least now I know what your really like, cold bastard!"
"Cold I am, bastard I am not. Why don't you just go?"
"And leave you only here with Destiny so you can take more advantage of her?! You are sick!"
"That's not what I want to do. What I want is for you to leave."
This was ridiculous, it wasn't worth fighting over. The two were just being annoying and loud.
I managed to lift myself up and only glared at the arguing duo.
"...Like you honestly care about her!"
"I do so don't worry."
It actually surprised me that Selphie was arguing with this god-like boy. She praised him not so long ago and was willing to run to him when he needed her. Selphie was being irritating. Now she didn't like him because he was with a girl that wasn't Namine or herself?
"...Don't be so obnixous."
"Don't be a cheater!"
Raising I said, "Shut up!"
They both stared at me confused.
I shook my head, ashamed and walked out of the room quickly, closing the door.
I leaned against a wall outside the room and sighed. That was pathetic, on all our parts.
Something yanked my sleeve. I looked up irritably at a red head.
"Hey, let go Axel. I'm not in the mood. And why were you standing out here? I thought you left."
Axel pulled me down the hall as if I were a heavy bag.
"What the hell Axel? Let go."
I struggled to pull myself apart from him but he just continued to drag me about.
"Seriously, stop it Axel!" I said as we approached a staircase.
"Shut up."
My eyes expanded. I had never heard Axel sound so serious and bitter. What was with this attitude? He punched Roxas, not me. He walked into the room, even when he didn't have to.
I turned my head away and walked with him down the stairs grimly. If he wanted to be a jerk, then I would be a jerk too.
He pushed the door open. We stood in the entrance of the dorms. It was rather nice, the place was barely filled with people. I actually didn't mind some of them focusing their attention on us.
I pulled my arm away from Axel and crossed my arms, "What is wrong with you? I was just fine up there. Why do you always have to come and try to save me?"
Axel stared down at me, silent.
I rolled my eyes, "Oh, you want to be a silent hero or something now?" I shook my head.
He pulled me into his arms.
I gasped at the movement, so swift yet settle. He was kind of warm compared to where I'd just been. I blushed and kept my hands to myself. Holding in a place like this, where everybody could see was so wrong. Expressions of care like this should have been expressed in a quiet, lonely place. I didn't approve of this sort of thing. Showing that you care in front of a crowd, I thought it was inappropriate and incorrect.
I stared behind his back, wide eyes staring back at me.
Laughing at me.
Judging me.
Hurting me.
I pushed Axel away, "Eh, let's go somewhere where we can be alone. Just the two of us!"
He smiled the most gracious smile from him I'd ever seen from him. Such kind eyes to go with those raised mouth corners. He had me right where he wanted me. I didn't know what would happen next and at the moment, it could have been a dangerous thunderstorm and I would have been okay with it.
This time, he gently took my hand and lead me outside.
I sighed with satisfaction.
"... Now what?" He asked breathing heavily.
"I don't know, I've never done this before."
"You always did it on your own?" He questioned.
I nodded, "I felt more comfortable that way and I never could find anybody worth doing it with."
"I'm glad," he moved a strand of my hair from my face. "Glad that I could have been your first."
I smiled at his grinning face. Lying here, under a tree laying close to Axel and with intertwined fingers.
I pushed my body from his bare chest but kept hold of his hand, "We should really go find our clothes."
"I know where they are," he muttered. "Some where around here."
"Yeah, that's really specific," I chuckled.
Axel smirked, "So did you enjoy it?"
"Hell yeah," I cheered. "I've never felt lost, but in a good way. It was like running on clouds."
"Then let's do it again sometime."
I nodded.
Running with Axel was like, running with wolves but not being put in danger. I was on top of the world right now. We'd ran from the school to way down, close to the forest. As we ran, Axel took off his shirt, claiming it felt better having the wind hit his chest. I had been unsure after but soon I threw off my vest and dress shirt. Luckily, I'd worn my gym shirt underneath my dress shirt. Once we found a spot that was right, we collapsed on to the ground, hand-in-hand.
"I have to introduce you to some of the demons," he muttered.
I blushed. As much as I wanted to say "No" I knew it wouldn't be right. I nodded instead.
"You know, we aren't as bad as everybody thinks. I'd hate to say it but we're just like the bloodsucker, we crave for what fills us too but we can't have it; only occasionally. "
"You shouldn't be treated any different," I agreed.
"Speaking of bloodsuckers; I know he didn't really take advantage of you."
Gasping I asked, "Then why did you hit him?!"
"Because he pisses me off."
I stared into Axel's hard eyes staring into mine. I turned my head away and stared into the sky. I wasn't going to talk about this, not now. I was too blissful to bother with his foolishness.
Suddenly, I felt his fingers slip away. He stood up, I sat up.
"Where are you going?"
"I've got stuff to do..."
I frowned. He was such a bad liar. He was only leaving me because I tried to help Roxas in the dorm and I tried to defend him out here.
"Don't leave me Axel..."
"Then choose me Destiny."
Then he walked away.
Eventually, I found my clothes. Although, I didn't bother to put them on. I'd walked into the school, on the way to my third class of the day with my gym shirt on. I really didn't care what people thought, I was too busy pondering.
"Then choose me Destiny."
I stopped at the door of my Science and Spells class. A sheet of paper was attached to it. Apparently, this class had been switched with my combat class. Which meant I missed Science and Spells and lunch.
I frowned and turned my back on the note. Sighing, I headed down the hall to the gym.
When I walked in, everybody was in groups, like during lunch. I wondered if it were some group activity; maybe fighting against more than one opponent.
Suddenly, my body was overcome by another anatomy.
"K-Kairi!"
She squeezed me once more before moving off me and grabbing my hands, "Where have you been?"
I looked past here and frowned. My blond cherub held his love gently in his arms. I looked back at Kairi and forced a joyful grin, "Around. Why aren't we watching other people's battle skills?"
"The class is almost over Destiny. Plus most of the battles were pretty short because of what happened-"
"Why are we in groups?" I cut her off.
"We're forming Delegation Factions."
"What's a 'Delegation Faction'?" I questioned. Never had I heard such army like speak.
"It's a group for your missions," she informed. "You know what we're training for?"
I nodded.
"Right, so they start us out with groups instead of sending us off on our own in the beginning. We go on missions and as we keep going our ranks increase and we become stronger. Eventually, we'll be good enough to go on our own and have graduated with honor and have at least experienced going on one top mission."
"That's amazing..." I muttered, astonished.
"Yeah. You know what's the greatest achievement though?"
"What?"
"Being the Asset Assassin."
"Asset... Assassin...?"
"Yeah, it's like being a valedictorian but you've accomplished the most difficult of missions. Now that's a true honor."
"It must be." To be a top ranked murder in a place like this. I wanted that title. To be graced and adored by those beneath me. Have them cower in my presence and provide me with my every need.
I shook my head from my fantasy, "So what group am I in?"
"Divinity Faction."
"And that's with...?"
Kairi grinned and pointed at the group of vampires.
"Me, Sora, Riku, Namine, and Roxas."
Author's Note:
Yay! I finally updated :D
Okay.. I'll answer some questions now...
"Bai Bai" is just my noob way of saying "Bye" X3 IRuleThisWorldSoGetYourOwn.
And DearlyBeloved-13, it was meant to be confusing X3 Ha, I read it back myself and was even a little confused for a moment or two.
And it'll all be explained in the next chapters, you just have to wait XD
Yeah, I know... I hate the suspense too.
Anyway, thanks for the reviews and I hope you keep reading :3
Later 83
