Author's Note: Okay so last chapter probably wasn't really my best so I'm going to try to make it up with this chapter. Anyway hopefully you like this one all!
Chapter 9: Day with Luxord
Last Time:
"That's it! We're leaving" as Roxas opened a portal and the two left inside going back to the Castle. They swore to each other that they would never speak of that moment again…
Back to the Story:
So it was Luxord's turn to take care of Zexion. Originally Xemnas was going to skip him, thinking that he wasn't capable of handling a baby, but he had to, to be fair to everyone in the Organization. So in the morning Luxord went to go pick Zexion up after Demyx fed him his breakfast. Luxord wanted to go to Vegas since it was the weekend. He thought to himself for a moment and decided to take Zexion with him anyway.
"C'mon kid. We're going to Vegas to have some fun!" he said while getting the carrier and Zexion's baby bag. He made a portal and left inside. "Ya see kid, the big man himself doesn't know where we're going so let's keep this our little secret, love" he said winking at the baby. Zexion just clapped and giggled as his response.
So when the two got there, Zexion was in amazement since he saw all the colorful lights and signs.
"Like what you see, love?" Luxord said smirking. Zexion nodded his head.
"Lu! Lu!" as Zexion pointed to a casino.
"Oooo good choice, let's go then darling" as Luxord went in the Mandalay Bay Casino.
So Luxord somehow convinced (*cough*bribed*cough*) the people at the casino to let Zexion in. Apparently being the gambler he was, Luxord tried all the games in the casino from the slot machines to Black Jack dealers. He was on a roll since he was winning on everything (being the cheater he was too). As he was thinking it was time to leave he saw that a large crowd of people were at a table. It seemed that there was a guy who was kicking everyone's ass on Poker.
"Man ya'lls suck! Can't somebody give me a real challenge or what?" said a man in a fancy cowboy getup.
"Don't mind if I do" as Luxord sat down
"So the big Brit guy wants to take me on does he? Well let's see how good your game is"
It was taking hours as both men were really doing well. Zexion had fallen asleep a long time ago and no one seemed to notice. During the game it seemed that Luxord was full of himself that he didn't even realize that he'd just bet on Zexion! Anyway Luxord was thinking he finally won the money and the game.
"Ha! Straight flush!" he said placing his cards
"Royal flush! Read it and weep!" as the man placed his cards, "now I'll be taking MY money and that baby you bet on" he said while taking everything with him. Luxord was in awe still and didn't seem to notice that he took the sleeping baby as well with him. When Luxord finally came back to his senses he realized he just bet Zexion and lost him!
"Aw man, I can't go back to the Castle now! Xemnas for sure would give me a bloody killing since I lost Zexion in a bet! Man I need to get the little guy back and fast!" as Luxord looked around the casino. When he realized that the man had left, he used the portal and tried looking around every casino he could find. Being tired from searching Luxord was about to give up until…
"Yahoo! I won!" shouted someone "Man! Every casino I go to I win every game! I never had been this good. This here baby must be my lucky charm!"
Luxord had found the man in the Excalibur casino.
"Hey you cowboy freak!" he shouted. That got him mad since he never had been called that. "What…was…that…oh it's just you. What do ya want ya sore loser?"
"I came back for my baby you stole"
"You mean won off"
"Yeah yeah…listen I want him back"
"Yea…no! This here baby is my lucky charm!" he said lifting Zexion up.
"H-hey! Give him back!"
"No way…unless ya'lls want to go at it again"
"Okay deal!" as both shook hands "winner takes the baby"
"And to make it more interesting ya'lls got to get me that fancy get up too plus the money you have left too which I bet isn't much hehe…"
"Uh…fine whatever!"
So both got ready for their rematch. This seemed to attract a lot of people since a crowd began to form. Both took their cards and started the game.
It was probably an hour into the game and things seemed to get very competitive. This was one of those anyone could win match. Just as everything seemed fine it was already over.
"Haha! Royal flush again! I win!" he said as everyone cheered. Luxord got real upset and used his time powers making everyone freeze (expect Zexion since he's a Nobody). Then he just grabbed the child and started to leave until he realized something
"Wait…I could have avoid all this if I'd just use my time powers…gah I hate myself" as he slapped himself on the head "God I need a drink" as he took a bottle of rum out while opening a portal.
Once he got to the other side he found that his Superior was right infront of him.
"Luxord, you're fired from taking care of Zexion"
"Wha? Why?"
"It's very inappropriate to have him…" Shit the cat's out of the bag "drink that kind of stuff! I mean I know you're an alcoholic and all but you should know better! For Christ sake Luxord he's just a baby!" said Xemnas as he pointed at Zexion who was holding the rum in his small hands.
"What are you- I mean, yeah should've known better…right. Here! Take him" as Luxord handed Zexion over to Xemnas
"Yes now carry on whatever you were doing" as Xemnas left Luxord. He was just glad to get rid of the problem that started all his trouble.
And I end it here for now I know it isn't a long chapter but things came up and I got grounded so couldn't update as fast as I wanted to…also I have to say this isn't one of my best chapters I've wrote so I would more or less understand if no one likes this chapter…in fact I don't like it myself but I had to put something since I didn't want to skip Luxord. So hopefully the next chapter will be better
