Enter the Luxy chapter! ^^ Not much to say in the author's note except I'm REALLY happy Fanfiction is fixed ^^ Also, I just discovered Rise Against 3 I haven't loved a band this much since Green Day or Avenged Sevenfold. Oh! If you like Organization XIII and Final Fantasy then go to DemyxTime's T-shirt store, ParleProductions. They have a US and a UK store and their shirts are funny as Hell XD Pufferfish?

Vehicles whizzed by at what was certainly a breakneck pace. In the air the only sounds were of horns, people, and the occasional air vent. Everywhere you looked there were people. They flooded the streets and filled the air with their mindless chatter. Then, there was the smell. That God-awful industrial smell.
Xigbar's hand came down on Zexion, "What? Don't like the smell shortie?"
Zexion scowled, "Don't hold your breath, Xigbar. You might just find it as repulsive as I do."
"Doubtful."
As Xigbar and Zexion argued, a shape much larger detached itself from the alley wall.
"Quit pestering each other, we have a mission."
Xaldin towered over the two, especially Zexion like the skyscrapers surrounding them.
"Are you saying we aren't focused? As if."
"Well then I expect you start showing it."

SHILO POV
The timing was perfect. At the time of dawn, I had woken up knowing today would be a perfect day to do this. Outside, the world was still dark, but there were the beginnings of light creeping up on the horizon. I didn't have much time, so this must be done quickly. I knew that I would have a very hard time convincing him, Hell, I was going to have to survive this first. I wonder why I'm even taking the deadly path. But my resolve was iron. This way is just going to be more interesting, not to mention fun. There he was, lying totally unprotected on top of the covers, still in his clothes. Just one more step…I pounced.
"SAIX WAKE UP!"
I sprang across the room and landed square on Saix's chest, straddling him at the elbows. His golden eyes flashed open in an instant, and I made sure to plaster on my face the biggest, most innocent grin in my arsenal. I hoped this would lessen the blow to come.
"C'mon! It's morning and I wanna go somewhere and you're coming with me whether you like it or not!"
Saix stared at me, his face starting to look angry. "I think not. Now you will get off of me before I make you move."
I grinned, "Is that a threat? Well, I think I could take you Fairy Boy."
He was angry now, I could tell. I started to fidget, thinking maybe jumping on him wasn't the best idea. But too late, the thought had only crossed my mind when Saix decided, he'd had enough. With just one move on his part, our positions had been reversed and I was now pinned on the bottom with Saix looming over me.
"I'm sorry, what was that? You said you could hold your own against the Second in Command of Organization XIII?"
I looked down, looked back up. I didn't say anything for a second. I just gave it time, then, I hit him.
"Wow, I didn't know you were this kinky Saix. What's next? Am I stripping?"
Immense satisfaction. I watched with a smug heart as he turned about two shades of red. Though out of character for him, it just made it all that much sweeter watching him snap up, lose his balance, and fall right off the end of the bed. Wow, I thought Saix was mean. But here I just watched him get so embarrassed he lost his balance. Something fishy is going on here.
I bounced off the bed and headed downstairs. "Yes, that is what I said. And judging by your reaction, I think I just beat you."

SAIX POV
Following my, I shudder to say, defeat, Shilo had me packed into a car and we were now exactly 30 minutes down the road. With one stop at a flower shop to buy a dozen hydrangeas. She had still not told me where we were going, nor for what purpose. Even after much interrogation she refused to say a word. The only hint was that "somebody wanted to meet me."
What could she be planning? The possibilities of this person being friend rather than foe are greatly in favor of the latter, but the chance still exists that this meeting will be in illwill…what are you saying? All this girl has proven to be is simply naïve. Besides, her family was murdered by evil. Why would she consort with it?
"Ooh! We're here!"
The car shuddered to a stop and died as she cut the power. I stepped outside to encounter the sharp bite of the cold weather, but that had lessened with the clear sky and lack of wind-chill. Plus the fact I was wearing a jacket had an effect. I looked around to locate where she had gone off to, however just over the hill, I saw the true nature of this place. It was not a building that she had brought us to, or a park.
We were at a cemetery.
A cemetery. I can only think that this must be where her dead kin is interred.
She was at the hill's summit, eagerly beckoning me. "Come on Saix! It's just a little bit farther!"
I followed at my own pace, passing the graves with a medium gait, compared to her energetic hop. At the top of the hill, I saw her skipping over to two graves set apart from the others under a large weeping willow. I approached the site with mild interest. The girl had her back to me and was facing the graves, but she looked behind and smiled at me when she heard my approach. I was able to see the script on the front of the graves now.

"These are my parents. Lauryn was buried in my mothers arms." She said to me. I kept silent as she went on, now addressing the graves.
"Hi mom, hi daddy. And of course Lauryn. It's been exactly one year since you guys died. Time flies right?" She smiled. "I'm doing fine, everybody still hates my guts but I don't mind…I brought somebody with me, he's…special. He's not from here, but don't worry, nobody's going to catch on."
She turned and motioned for me to step up next to her. I declined, staying exactly where I was standing. This made her pout and gesture harder, throwing in motions for "you" "come here" and "strangle".
Sigh, why must she expect me to be so complacent? I might as well humor her.
I stepped up and she smiled.
"This is Saix, yea the video game character. Funny thing, I actually saved his life. So…"
The girl proceeded to talk endlessly to the gravestones, as if they were her flesh and blood family. She spoke about me, about everything that had happened in the past year, the state of her uncle, and so on. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she slowed down.
"So…I really miss you guys. But I think…I'm gonna be okay. I mean…..I'm not alone, anymore."
That last part made me think. Her voice was now soft, and quiet. He face had become a mask akin to indifference, but this one letting pass just enough expression to show that she looked, somewhat sad. Slowly, she laid down the flowers, six each, on the graves. I stood, and she stood for minutes on end. She might have been observing a moment of silence for the dearly departed, but I was observing simply a silent moment.
This affair does not concern me. I am simply stuck with this girl until I am able to leave.
True, a cruel thought to be having. But to one with no emotion, this make a difference naught.
