(A/N): I'm baaaaack! And I'm going to try to shove in three more characters… yay? Anywho, sorry for the long wait.
"You want to come back and sit with us, my brothers and me?" Tamari asked while fitting the urge to just latch onto the boy, which was difficult for someone who is used to getting their way.
"Nah, I'm here with a friend and he's got some abandonment issues so I'd best stay with him." Riku replied. "But I guess if you wanted to, you could sit with us." He offered while pointing to his table. 'Why did I just do that…?'
"I might join you later," The girl was looking in the other direction at a red-head boy who was beckoning her, "but right now my brother wants me."
Riku just shrugged and walked back to where Sora and Leon where waiting for him. As he returned to his seat he opened his mouth to say something to his friends but the words died in his mouth as his attention was pulled elsewhere. The door to the building flew open dramatically and an oddly dressed man waltzed in, "Jiraiya is in the house!" He proclaimed loudly.
Naruto's jaw fell slack. He lifted an accusing finger at the door then slammed his hand into the table, "Hey, nobody cares!" He yelled at the man who'd just entered. This outburst drew the attention away from the newcomer and to the young blonde.
Naruto's ear twitched as he caught a comment from the table behind him while he fought off Jiraiya's glare. "Man, this World has some strange people."
"Hey Jiraiya!" Anko yelled from the stage, she and Itachi had just finished their song and were about to head back to their stools. "Long time no see!"
The white haired man pulled his gaze away from the loud mouthed kid and turned a cheery smile to the woman up front. Meanwhile, Itachi beat a hasty retreat from the stage as the eyes shifted once again and he made up his mind that he was sick of being the center of attention. As he departed he caught sight of the smirk on the demon Sesshomaru and involuntarily shrugged his shoulders as if to answer an unspoken question. As it was, that was probably the case.
'I should just leave. It really isn't worth it.' Itachi thought to himself. Yet, he sat himself down beside Orochimaru again anyway. He noted, vaguely, that the man who'd been on the left of Orochimaru had gone. 'I should follow his example.' However, he just asked the bartender for some apple juice.
-Scene Change-
"Hey Xaldin," Xigbar said suddenly, "You know wh-"
"No." The other man said flatly not even letting him finish.
"Oh come on, hear me out." Number Two pleaded with a lopsided grin on his face.
"You're going to say something stupid like, 'hey why don't you go sing too?' aren't you?" The whirlwind lancer questioned.
"That's just creepy." Was Xigbar's only response.
"I think you both should!" Surprisingly, the suggestion came not from Demyx but from Roxas. The boy's superiors shot him inquisitive looks and he lifted a shoulder in reply. "It was only a thought." He finished nonchalantly. "I mean, if we all did it that would lessen the likelihood for black mail."
Xaldin gave a dry chuckle, "Who's to say?" He challenged. Roxas rolled his eyes and dropped out of the conversation.
Axel seamlessly took up his friend's spot, "I think I could get you both up there." There was a predatory glint in his eyes.
Xigbar only snorted, "Doubt it dude. You're still on thin ice with us higher ups because of that Castle Oblivion thing."
Axel's previous thoughts where pushed back at this comment as he quickly went to defend himself, "What do you mean? I was helping the Organization. Marluxia was a little fruitcake and I'm sure no one is sorry to see Larxene go. My involvement to sabotage those two was nothing but good."
"Yeah but you killed Vexen." Xaldin pointed out.
"I'm also inclined to believe that was for the better," Axel said defensively. "Besides, I thought the Superior said he's let it slide?"
"Eh," Both older men replied. "Even so, it'd still put you at a disadvantage for whatever black mail you were about to try and use." Xigbar pointedly stated.
"Oh, I doubt that." Axel replied, the light in his eyes once again. He was feeling quite pleased with himself and very confident. "Does Xemnas know who set his office on fire?" He glanced at Xaldin and chuckled at his expression. Axel had had an alibi in Luxord at the time the aforementioned incident occurred thus clearing his name because, naturally, all blame was to be put on him for the unexpected flames. Roxas had been the one to catch number Three in the act, but he and Axel agreed that it would be best to save that information for later. Currently, Roxas had a bemused smile on his face. Up until then he had forgotten the whole event. Leave it to Eight to have the mind to bring something like that into play.
"Or, " Demyx spoke up suddenly putting his two cents in, "does Xemnas know who really tampered with that last experiment?" He gave a wry smile at Xigbar and received an approving grin from Axel and Roxas.
Xaldin gave a humorless laugh," Well, looks like they haven't survived their time with the Organization by luck alone, the conniving little brats."
-A Few Blocks Away-
"Seems like that lead was a waste." A tall and well dressed man said to his partner as he lit up another cigarette. "That one didn't even look legitimate. Train, why did I let you talk me into it?"
"The hell if I know." Came the light hearted reply. "Hey, Sven?" His partner raised his eye brow in acknowledgement so he continued, "Think they have any cheep places to eat in this city?" He grinned and tucked his hands into his pockets. There was a few crumpled sheets of currency there. 'Enough.' He thought while he waited for the green haired man to respond.
"I suppose we'll just walk till we find something." Came Sven's answer at last. "You, of course, could probably be content with the content of that dumpster over there."
Train laughed as he sidestepped a rude man who didn't seem to be watching where he was going. "If that dumpster were outside of a five star restaurant I would almost be inclined to agree with you." He said jokingly.
"We could try that place." Sven said pointing to a building as the crossed the street. The word Café was in the neon banner, so they would have to serve food there, right?
-Inside "That Place"-
"Alright, Sakura, go." Anko had finally left the stage, having realized it would be easier to carry on a conversation out of sight of the annoying glares and at close distance with Jiraiya and was now sitting with him at the bar. "Your turn." Kakashi said.
With a lowered head, the girl stood up.
