Here's chapter six~ I'll warn you (maybe I should have done this in other chapters too heh) there are some moments of randomness.
: I'm glad that you like my fanfic^^ but when you say that you were confused do you mean you couldn't understand because it's not written well? You can tell me I won't be offended XD. Everybody always told that I have a lot imagination but can't write well... at all u.u
SignatureSinful: Hahaha I think that is an easy guess :p
ZakuKura: Thanks for pointing that out. I've started reviewing my older chapters so hopefully I'll be able to eliminate every single idiotic typo or grammatical errors. Grrr... XD
E-Lover21: Hehe actually your review gave me the incentive to finally post this chapter.
I'll warn you that Ansem the wise is a bit (very) out character...
I slammed the door open emitting a loud booming sound as it hit the inside walls of the room. The loud noise was soon followed by both my own series of curses and by an almost girly shriek from one the occupants of the room who I most probably scared the shit out with my brilliant entrance.
«What the fuck Axel?» growled my new roommate as he laid sprawled on the bed as he clutched the book he was reading as if his life depended on it.
I paused and squinted at him.
«Riku? Fuck, are you my roommate? And… what are you reading?» I inquired as I tried to take a peek at the cover.
«Shut the fuck up.» he hid the book under one of the many cushions on his bed, ignoring my question entirely «It's not that I'm exactly happy either. I was perfectly fine in my own apartment, dumbass.» He retorted as he gave me a heated glared.
«You too, huh?» I said in a bored tone as I tried to calm my nerves before I set my own suitcase on fire in a fit of anger.
«Yeah, I don't see the fucking point. And why the fuck do I have share my room with someone anyway? There are plenty of rooms in this goddamn place!» he cursed as the objects around him started to float as his anger rose.
I whistled in awe. I've never seen him this pissed off since Junior High. Riku usually is a very laid back kind of guy. You know, the typical guy with a toothpick in his mouth wears rayban and is always leaning on the wall as if he doesn't have anything better to do? Riku never gets pissed off (or never actually shows that he gets pissed off).
Of course, being the great friend I am, decided to add fuel to the blazing fire. Have I ever told you that I just love fire?
«Yeah, I know dude. It's as if their actually having fun in making our lives miserable…» I smirk internally as more objects started to rise higher and higher, «Plus I've also heard about this rumour-» «Oh, just stop it Axel» a raspy voice interrupted my rant.
I rolled my eyes before turning towards my perpetual party pooper «OH, but whatever do you mean my dear sweet Larxene?»
«Cut the crap you retard» she venomously retorted making my eyebrow twitch in annoyance.
«What the fuck did you call me?» I snarled as I grabbed her by the collar of her uniform (which is a black leather trench coat by the way) and pulled her towards me.
She merely lifted an eyebrow before placing to fingers on my neck and fucking "thunder bolting" me. After giving me the 100th shock of the year – yes, almost all 99 shocks are her fault – she gently pushed me with a hand to my chest making me fall backwards.
«I'm gonna-» «Come on guys please don't fight» came a meek voice behind the bitch.
I instantly shut up as I laid my eyes on Xion.
«Yeah Axel,» Larxene grinned, «Give it rest will you?»
«YOU-» «what do you want Larx?» Riku interjected, interrupting the on coming brawl.
«The boss» she rolled her eyes – yeah, no one likes Mansex – «wanted me to inform you that you have to be in the conference room in thirty minutes. Apparently a member of the Runes is going to escort us to their hideout. So please,» she delivered me a pointed glare «be on time for once.»
Without sparing us another glance she strolled out of our room, Xion following soon after, before she waved us goodbye with a small smile.
«Crazy bitch» I muttered under my breath.
«Yeah,» Riku sighed.
«Anyway» I continued as I gazed interestingly at my silver haired friend «how did it go with Sora? Did you ogle him all night long before making out in a dark corner?» I sniggered.
«Shut up» Riku grumbled «you're one to talk. What about you? Do you have the hots for Roxas or something? Demyx told me all about your fight.» he poked my bruised cheek.
I looked straight at him with a maniacal look «Yeah. And?»
The silverette gaped at me, astonished «Dude.»
«What?»
«Since when have you been gay?»
I frowned honestly confused «I'm not gay»
Riku chuckled «No? And here I though that Roxas was a guy for all these years. Oh silly, silly me.»
«Oh, shut up. He's just the exception to the rule.»
«Yeah, whatever dude.» he paused as he walked towards his closet to get changed in our usual matrix like uniform. «I didn't know you were one to use phrases from corny movies by the way.»
«Yeah… And I, never in my fucking life, would've thought that you would read something like this.»
Riku turned towards me, letting out a yelp when he found himself face to face with the book he was reading just few minutes prior.
I let out a long laugh as I watched him slip on a t-shirt and fall inside a pile of dirty clothes inside his closet.
«I mean, seriously dude? "How make an-" oh my God this is fucking priceless "how to make an oblivious loved one fall for you?"» I doubled over in laughter «I think I'm going to die-» I laugh out even louder as Riku cursed and cussed me from the closet. «Is he really that dumb? And seriously, dude. I know it's hard but can you please come out of the closet? There's no use hiding it. We all know what you are.»
«Shut the fuck Axel.»
«Oh but come on, dude this is just- ouch!» I flinch as I felt a sharp pain running up my leg. «What the- oh you've GOT to be kidding me!» I glare at the little bundle of stress and perpetual pain in my ass –no, not in that sense- . «What the fuck is HE doing here?»
«Didn't you know?» Riku smirked at me. «He's-»
«No, don't fucking tell me. I don't want to fucking know!» I shouted as I covered my ears.
Riku looked at me patiently as he gave some candy to Ienzo for his good deed.
Slowly I lifted my hands from my ears.
«He's-our-roommate.»
«FUCK!»
Thirty minutes later we burst through the double doors of the conference room. Pleased of being on time for once.
«Aw damn, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't make it on time.»
«Shut the fuck up Marluxia.»
«Axel, I would appreciate if you would refrain from using such language in front of one of our…» Mansex lifted an exquisite eyebrow at Xion «allies.»
Huh?
«What are you talking about? I can't see a Rune here…» I said as I looked around.
«He's talking about Xion you dimwit!» Larxene hissed with more vehemence than usual – seems like someone's pissed off~ -.
«Xion? You're a Rune?» Riku asked slightly surprised at the news.
The said Keyblade wielder fidgeted in place as she gave subtle glances towards Larxene.
«Yes. I'm sorry; I didn't mean to lie to you. But it was my mission to keep an eye on you…» she spoke confidently although she was in obvious discomfort as she gave us apologetic smile, but that soon vanished as our residential bitch huffed angrily. «Larx, I'm really-»
«Save it.»
Xion shut her mouth with an audible snap before she schooled her features and turned towards Xemnas with a business like expression.
«Now that we're all here I'll take you to our hideout.»
«Very well then, where exactly is it?»
Xion shook her head as small smile graced her features. «I said I'll be taking you there but I didn't say that I would've shown you where it was. Before you ask any futile questions that I wouldn't be willing to answer, please just do as I say.»
I smirked gleefully as Mansex grunted in assent, obviously slightly ticked off at being ordered around from one of his ex-subordinates.
Just you wait Xemnas, one day…
«Let's all conjoin hands.»
Once well held each other's hand and formed a circle, Xion walked at the centre of it.
«You'll feel a bit weird at first, but whatever happens, do not let go of each other. Or you'll be lost forever.»
«Oi, Xion what the fuck are you going to do?» asked Luxord.
«I'm taking you to our hideout.»
«We know that.» snapped Xaldin. «But how are you-»
«I do not have any obligation in answering you're questions. Either you do as I say, or the deal is off.»
Holy shit, what happened to sweet, shy and cuddly Xion?
Riku and I shared a questioning glance.
Xigbar let out an amused cackle «Looks like the kitten as grown some fangs.»
«Silence, Xigbar. Xion, if you will.»
Xion nodded as she closed her eyes in concentration. Soon enough a bright midnight blue stone started appearing near her left ear.
As we all stared in awe, Vexen tried – and failed – to suppress a gleeful and incredibly deranged giggle.
«Close your eyes, or you'll be blinded» she whispered.
Needless to say I immediately shut them up.
After a few seconds felt a small pull and then-
«You can open them now.»
What?
As I opened my eyes I found myself in front of a… very weird looking castle. How the hell-? My train of thoughts were rudely interrupted at the sound puking.
«Demyx you okay dude?» asked Xigbar with a look that could almost be mistaken by concern.
«Sorry guys I forgot to warn you this might happen.»
«Hahaha what a puss-» I stopped and fell to my knees and puked my guts out. After few coughs I glared at a smirking Riku. «Not. A. Word.»
After we ALL cleaned up, yes in the end all of us puked our intestines out, well except for Mansex and Riku but you know that they're just too cool to puke… bloody bastards… anyway! As I was saying after we finished our puking party Xion led us inside their weird looking headquaters.
After the raven haired Rune knocked twice on the huge double doors she pushed them, open revealing our soon to be allies inside.
Our family is getting bigger and bigger! Isn't that just delightful?
«Ah Xion. I am pleased to see you after such a long time.» said a raspy voice.
«I'm happy to see you all too.» Xion said with a bright smile, come to think of it I've never actually seen her smile so joyfully before.
«Who the fuck is she?» "whispered" a some what familiar voice.
Not put off by such a rude statement Xion turned towards one of her companions. «I'm glad to see you haven't changed Roxy.»
Roxy?
«Don't call me that. And it's not my fault if you haven't been around for a year. I tend to forget unimportant stuff.» the hooded boy said with smirk.
«Don't be a smartass.» said another boy beside him as he elbowed him in the stomach… he looks so familiar now that I think about it…
Xion giggled «It's okay, Sora. I'm used to his snarky behaviour.»
Sora… where have I heard that name before…
«You shouldn't be so kind Xion. Roxas has to learn some manners.» said a blue haired woman.
Roxas… ?
«Yeah I agree.» nodded Kairi… Kairi?
Naminè giggled as Roxas grumbled.
«Whoa whoa whoa. Hold your fucking horses.» I said turning all eyes towards me.
«What the fuck… roster? What the fuck are you doing here?» said the hooded boy.
«Heh, I knew it.» grunted a brunet as he glowered at me who, now that I think about it, was the one who attacked me at the Reunion just a few weeks ago.
«That's my fucking lin- roster? Oh whatever! What the fuck-» I pointed at my four ex-classmates «are you four doing here? Since when are you Runes for gods sake!»
After a moment a silence Sora spoke up meekly «Err… it's not… us?»
«Oh please, "not you". Look at Riku for goodness sake! He is gaping at you again like a fish out of it's tank again!»
I turned towards my best friend and just as I thought he was staring at brunet as if he were Santa Claus with a sack full of presents. Or more like Sora was the present that he was just about to unwrap… - insert disgusted shiver here -.
Ignoring as his twin asked him if he had something on his face Roxas full out glared at me from under his hood «Well same goes for you, jackass. Since when were you a fucking Elemental? Although it was quite obvious thanks to that wonderful magic trick you did last time we met.»
«Well-»
«Enough!» the booming voice of the "Superior" silenced us all.
«Are these two friends of yours?» asked what seemed to be their "boss".
«Fuck no.» hissed Roxas almost as if someone had just insulted his mother and passed his gloved hand throw his hair in distress, pushing back his black hood in the process.
Seems like he hasn't changed much in these weeks. Still as sexy as ever.
«Aw, glad to see you still love me Roxy-poo.»
That statement earned me… one, two… three glares. Yay for me.
«Fuck you.»
«Anytime, anywhere.» I growled sending him a wink.
And this one earned me… one repulsed look, two amused looks and two glares. Wohoo, jackpot!
«Axel, enough.» hissed Mansex.
«Roxas, explain yourself: do you know this Elementals?» asked a bleach blond haired man.
After my now favourite blond muttered a long series of curses under his breath he replayed with a hiss.
«We know each other from school.»
«Is that so…» Xemnas gave me a calculating look.
«You never told us you knew a Rune, Axel» pouted Demyx.
«Hey! It's a big shocker for me too, dude!»
After Mansex gave me one last long look – this can't be good – he turned towards the leaders of the Runes.
«Well, no matter, shall we talk about business?»
«Yes, I think that would be best.»
After a brief introduction of our respective parties we shared all the information we knew on Xehanort, the Heartless and the Nobodies. Well, almost everything.
«I see» said Xemnas as he leaned against his chair «so you think Xehanort may be after something in particular. Any clue on what that might be?»
Eraqus shook his head negatively «I'm afraid not. But we have noticed that both the Heartless and the Nobodies have been increasing in certain areas. For example Heartless have been decreasing greatly in number at Destiny Islands but it seems like they've all moved towards Hollow Bastion. In fact I believe there are very few who still live there now. And you can see this kind of movement from Twilight to the World that Never Was too.»
«How peculiar.» muttered Saïx.
«At the beginning we thought these creatures were attacking randomly and Xehanort had in fact lost all the control he had over them, but alas…» Ansem the wise said with a sigh.
On the sidelines Roxas snorted earning a glare from the man. «Is there something you would like to say, Roxas?» the man challenged.
Heh, wrong move dude.
My favourite blond narrowed his beautiful blue eyes in annoyance.
«I just think it was fucking idiotic to assume that, Ansem. I mean, fuck, I've known him for six years and I know better that. And yet you-» he gritted his teeth in rage «-you've known him for fucking centuries and yet you didn't see this coming! Sometimes it makes wonder weather you're on his side rather than ours!»
«How dare you, you filth!»
Sora groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose as the others rolled their eyes in annoyance ignoring the on coming brawl.
«I'm guessing this happens often huh Riku.» I turned towards my friend «Oi Riku» I shook him forcibly «Okay dude come on you need to snap out of it!»
«Huh, what?»
«Riku, dude. I know you want to get inside someones pants, believe me I can relate. But you can't just stare at poor guy like a perverted old geezer. You'll creep him the fuck out! You need to take action, man!»
Riku snorted «Yeah and make him hate me, like Roxas hates you? Besides I think you should worry about yourself… you've got some… "opponents" you have deal with first.»
«What?» I turned around and soon enough I found Xemnas staring at an enraged Roxas with a creepy glint his eyes that shook my entire frame.
«Dude I know that look. Last time he gave me that look, he…» I gulped as I thought back at that fateful day «… I mean it- it was terrible Riku.»
Riku's expression softened «Axel, it's okay.»
«No it's not okay Riku, and you know it.»
Riku patted my back reassuringly.
«How can someone do such a thing? I mean how did he even manage to do it?»
«Axel-»
«I mean… it's simply impossible!»
«Axel! I know it's terrible, it- it was a shock to us all Axel. But you have to get over it!»
«You don't get it Riku, I saw it happen with my own eyes!»
«Axel. It's been three years-»
«You weren't there Riku! You didn't see it happen right in front of you! Knowing that you can't do anything to save him!»
«I know but you have to forget it ever happened or-»
I snapped my head towards him, astonished and my friend's insensitivity «Riku. Dude. He drowned my fucking gold fish!» cried as Riku sighed in exasperation. «I still don't know how he fucking did that. I mean how can you drown a fish?»
«It's called pure evil, man, pure evil.»
«Poor Flounder… he did nothing wrong… he was just being a fish and then all of sudden-» I sobbed.
«What are you guys talking about?» whispered Demyx.
«The death of his favourite gold fish.»
«He would always greet me every time I came back home and-»
«Oh Flounder! Yeah it's terrible. Ariel is still very sad you know.»
Both Riku and I simultaneously turned towards him in wonder.
«Ariel?» asked Riku.
«She's a friend of mine.» nodded Demyx with a proud look on his face.
«You have friends…?» I inquired.
«Yeah! She's my mermaid friend!»
«Oooh! Riiiight, your mermaid friend. Right, right. You already told us about her, right Riku?» elbowed Riku as he tried to suppress a snigger.
«Right, how is she?»
«Axel, Riku, Demyx. Are you paying attention?» whispered-shouted Saïx.
«Yes, Mansex's-dog.» all three of us replied in unison.
«You-»
Soon enough, the hall was filled with utter chaos as Roxas continued his verbal onslaught with the bleached-haired dude while Sora and the other Runes tried to calm them down and Riku, Demyx and I got yelled at by Saïx.
«SILNECE!» both Eraqus and Xemnas boomed making all chaos come to a stop.
«Let us come to a conclusion quickly before I decide to mangle all of my subordinates. Have you already chosen on a course of action?» asked Xemnas as he massaged his temple.
Eraqus nodded in agreement «we believe that the best course of action at the moment would be to investigate Hollow Bastion and The World that Never Was.»
«Yes, I agree. Then we will inspect The World that Never Was since it's closer to our base. If, of course, that isn't a problem?»
«That is acceptable-»
«Yes, but who says we can trust them? How can we be sure they won't betray us?» hissed Roxas.
«Roxas! Don't be-»
«Roxas does have point.» interjected Terra.
«That's insulting! Have you not investigated us enough!» Xaldin glowered.
Xigbar chuckled in amusement «If you don't trust us that much little guy,» he gave Roxas a once over «why don't you keep an eye on us.»
«I-»
«I think that's an excellent idea!» cheered Ansem.
«Excuse me?»
«That doesn't sound like a bad idea.» agreed Xemnas as that horrible glint returned at full force – I'm so hiding Sebastian as soon as I get back to base - «of course we would have to send one of our own in your ranks. Just to be fair, agreed?»
«Sounds reasonable.» reluctantly Eraqus replied after a moment of thought.
«Hey don't I have any say in this?» said Roxas with a cute confused frown as Sora started to panic.
«No way! You can't let him go!»
«Why, pray tell, not Sora? He's the one who doesn't trust our new allies.» Ansem said with a sneer.
«Then- then let me go with him!»
«No, Sora. You are needed here.» replied Eraqus.
«But you can't let him go on his own!»
«Roxas is old enough to take care of himself, Sora.»
«B-but-… but h-he-he's unstable!»
«Sora! What the hell!» yelled Roxas as stared at his twin with wide eyes.
«You can't honestly tell me you would let him go after, you know, after that happened» Sora replied frantically.
«He does have point.» hummed Eraqus.
«Then let me go with him.» said Terra firmly.
«No Terra, you would only worsen the situation if that happened. You know that very well.»
Terra sagged in defeat as I mentally did a victory dance (even though I didn't know what the hell they were talking about).
«Very well Sora you have my permission, if Xemnas agrees…?»
Xemnas frowned lightly the malicious glint diminishing slightly, obviously this was a big hindrance to his master plan. Whatever that is.
«I believe there won't be any problems.»
Sora sighed in relief as tension left his figure.
This is going to be fun.
Demyx slowly inched away from both Riku and I. «Uh guys? Can you stop that? Your rape faces are kind of freaking me out…»
Random? I know. Review and I'll continue, otherwise... I'll find myself a new hobby lol :p
If there are any errors or typos warn me, thank you :)
