A/N: This song has always been Ordix's theme in my mind, so, I decided to use it. I could see no other more befitting for her. So, this is Ordix's song chapter, "Never Gonna Catch Tomorrow (Good Shoes Won't Save You This Time)" by LostProphets. Elizabeth is an OC, to avoid confusion. Short, random flash-backs. Please, do enjoy.
I'm sure I've seen this look before. Done a thousand times and a million more.
Ordix sat in the corner of the gray area, silent and hiding. She could see Xembar. She didn't hate Xembar, but she was starting to dislike her.
Ordix was never one to hold a grudge, but she was starting to change her mind about that. She pushed the square red frames on her face up so it sat in the mid of her nose's bridge. She glared and growled a little under her breath, swishing her tail violently.
It won't help me, but I have to ask, is there something real behind the mask?
Xembar reminded Ordix a little bit of her sister. She hadn't really noticed Rido when they were young, because she was so much older than her. They rarely talked, and when they did, they fought. Rido had been closer to her older brother, the middle child of the three.
She could barely remember her brother's face. But, she remembered her sister down to the last detail, which was a bit odd. She had been tall, with light blonde hair, and aqua eyes. Adra.
Something true we don't know about? A little faith hid amongst the doubt?
"Damn, I hope I was adopted." Adra snuffed a cigarette outside on the wooden porch.
"Hm? Why?" A boy asked.
"Because, do you really want to share the same genes with...that...thing?" She asked.
The boy blinked, "She's our sister. Not a thing."
"Look at her!" The blonde cried out, "She's a fucking cat! Plus, look." She pointed to her blonde hair, then to the boy's light hair, "Our hair is different. One of us has to be adopted. I'm betting it's either me or Rido, and if it's Rido, then why should we-"
The boy covered her mouth, "Shut up, Adra. You're my sister, just the same as her. Besides, our father had black hair."
"Yeah, but how do we know Roy was our father? Besides...she has those...those...ears." Adra grimaced.
"Our mother had light hair. It could be recessive, like Ordix's...difference." He said, trying to find an appropriate word for the neko.
Adra crossed her arms and glared at her brother. The boy rolled his eyes, "Fine. Have it your way. Just because you don't love our sister doesn't mean I don't." The boy left. Rido stepped away from the door, having listened to the conversation, and ran to her room crying.
And maybe someday you will grow, and maybe someday you will know.
She tried to forget that moment. Her sister had been angry, Ordix forgave her. They were family, after all. Something stooped down beside her and she jumped a little.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I just came to see why you were in the corner. You seem to be feeling better since you're out of your room." A familiar voice said, chuckling a little.
She turned to see Demyx, "Oh, heh. Just...thinking."
He brushed the hair out of her face, she blushed a little, "About what?"
"Home." She mumbled. "What used to be home.." She corrected.
"Ah." He said, noticing the look of distress on her face "Well, don't dwell on the past. I'd rather live in the moment." He smiled.
She blushed a little and nodded. "You're face is a little red." He grinned.
"No, it's not." She covered her face with her hands. He chuckled.
"Hey, don't worry, I don't mind. It's kind of cute." He smiled. Ordix blushed deeper and looked away. Demyx gently hooked one of his gloved fingers under her chin, "Don't be upset."
She blushed deeply and he let go of her. He smiled a little and she smiled back, slightly embarrassed.
A little piece of me grows old, I keep on walking down this road, I've seen a million people change, but I will stay the same.
Something touched Rido's shoulder. "Hey."
"Hi." The girl looked up, from sitting on the porch.
"I know you miss home, and I know you've never been here before." Her brother sighed.
"Have you been here before?" She asked.
He nodded, "You don't remember? I've only lived with you two for a couple of years, I lived with our Aunt from the time I was about four, then came back to Central for two years. Then the three of us came back."
"What's going to happen to Mummy and Daddy?" Rido asked, concerned.
"Roy will probably keep working with the military and Elizabeth will probably stay with him in Central. We have to be strong, no matter how long they're gone. Okay?" The boy smiled weakly.
Rido nodded. The boy hugged her tightly, "Good girl."
She smiled at how warm her brother was. He was always like that, even if he acted cold from time to time. She looked up into his eyes.
I'm sure I've played this scene before. I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor.
Ordix almost jumped. She could almost make out his face in her mind. Those eyes...those dark green eyes. She blinked.
"Are you alright?" Demyx asked. She nodded. "Are you paying attention?" He asked.
She nodded. "Is there a giraffe in the refrigerator?" He asked. She nodded again.
He snapped his fingers, "Hey, spacey." She looked over to him.
"Hm?" She fell out of her trance.
"That would be a weird place to keep a giraffe." He smiled. She gave him an odd look and cocked her head to the side. "Never mind. You were spacing off."
"My mind is just...scrambled." She shook her head.
"You know what would really scramble your mind?" He asked.
"Wha-?" Her sentence was interrupted by the sudden pressure of his lips. She blinked and blushed deeply, her tail fluffed up and her ears perked. He pulled away.
"Wha...wh-why..?" She blinked, blushing.
"Hm?" He asked, as if nothing had happened.
"Uh...um..." She couldn't form a sentence.
"I told you it would scramble your mind." He poked the end of her nose, "Because you liked it." He grinned. She blushed furiously.
"D-did...did not..." She blushed, flattening her ears.
"You did. I can see it in your eyes." He grinned.
"Oh, didn't you?" He drew closer, leaning over her a little. She blushed deeply.
"I-" She was interrupted by the sound of a sword being drawn from it's sheath, then a second one. She looked up to see Xembar.
"You have debt to pay for your father." The blue-haired nobody said quietly.
Ordix blinked, then stood up. Xembar charged at her and Ordix dodged her blow, summoning her knives.
I'm sure I used to hold your hand. Did I hurt you? All this attitude with no history, all this anger when you're attacking me. Got a lot to learn, and you need to know, that you're time is up. Can't let it go.
"Die, dammit!" Xembar yelled, charging at her again. "Gah!" Ordix attempted to move, but had the side of her arm sliced open. She jumped at Xembar, attempting to hit her with a knife. Xembar dodged and sliced a bit of the girl's leg.
She bit her lip harshly, trying not to cry from the pain. Demyx stood in shock, and didn't really know what to do. Xembar hit Ordix, knocking her over, "You bitch..." She glared.
Yeah, the haircut's hot, but this has gotta stop, good shoes won't save you this time.
The neko struggled. Xembar dug the heel of her boot into Ordix's stomach, causing her to cry out. She sliced at the girls neck, leaving a thin mark. Blood trickled down her front and the girl shook violently.
"Ordix!" Demyx yelped. a cloaked person seemed to jump from the castle's ceiling.
"Get off." It said in a low voice, grabbing the neko. It nodded to Demyx. "Follow me."
Before he could answer the cloaked person moved quickly away from the other nobodies. Demyx blinked and followed the cloaked person. Xembar waited before following.
A/N: Yes, I know the end is somewhat annoyingly like the Hermes and Dionysus thing, and yes, I do hate it when plots go there. It is actually part of the plot, and is an actual plot point instead of "LOL, look she got saved by the swooping nobody."(If you're not a huge Greek Mythology enthusiast, Dionysus is saved by Hermes right before he is nearly killed by Zeus, there's a term for things like this, I just can't remember it). So, please don't be too angry with me, oh, and for the first time in a music chapter, it didn't say the song lyric of the name of the song. There are certain parts of these stories that differ from the roleplay, for example: The cloaked person's identity is known, yet never really are they mentioned in the RP, Ordix has never used her weapons against Xembar in the RP, Demyx and Ordix's first kiss was a little bit like the one in this, but it was also very different. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Favourites and reviews are awesome.
