"Hey, Aeleus!" Xigbar smiled as he approached the other man. "Seems like there's a lot of teens here today huh?"
Aeleus nodded in agreement. The mall had been crawling with teenagers. It hadn't taken him long to figure out why. He remembered overhearing his son and his emo looking friend, Zexion, talking about the game they were holding. He had immediately approached his son and questioned the activity.
"Playing games?" Aeleus asked angrily. Zexion sat up from Lexaeus's bed and looked to the adult.
"It's just a game some kids from our school made up." Lexaeus said.
"So you two are going to steep down to their level and play? This isn't safe. How do you even expect to find all the people?"
"Father," Lexaeus started.
"No," Aeleus interrupted. "This is childish. I thought you'd have learned by now that you need to grow up."
"It's just a one time thing sir, we were only-" Zexion tried.
"You stay out of this!" Aeleus frowned, pointing to Zexion. Zexion's eyebrows creased and he turned away from the man in anger.
"If I find out you do play in this stupid little game, you can bet there will be trouble to follow."
Lexaeus was starting to go on a wild streak in his father's opinion. He had been doing everything his father had told him not to. The man was beginning to suspect it was Zexion's influence.
"It's dangerous for all these kids to be running around freely." Aeleus said to Xigbar.
"Oh, come on, man! It's all in fun! From what I've heard these kids got every last detail planned out. Rules and all!" Xigbar said using unnecessary hand gestures.
"I still find it childish. Not even that. A child shouldn't even be playing. Zexion's little brother is playing too I've heard. He's not even that old. What if he were to get lost? Who's even watching them?"
"Ah just calm down." Xigbar sighed. "If you know so much about it and hate it then why are you here?"
"My son is here."
"What? That big guy? Looks just like you?"
Aeleus looked at him disappointedly.
"My son, who holds a part of my DNA in him, looks much like me. That's usually how it works Xigbar."
"Well, I'm not a health teacher." Xigbar frowned.
"Physical Education?"
"Not the same."
"Let's go to the food court." Kairi said and she and Naminé walked past the two conversing adults.
"But it's so open. Why would anyone hide there?" Naminé asked.
"Because it's so open." Kairi laughed.
"Looks like they're still looking for people." Xigbar pointed out.
"How sad." Aeleus said.
~X~
"You think they're almost done finding everyone?" Lea asked, boredom evident in his voice. He was laying on the ledge, Isa, Ienzo, Ezekiel, Shiya and he had been hiding out on for the past two hours. Isa looked over to him.
"They would have sent out a notification." He informed.
"I'm sure they're almost done." Ezekiel said. He sat up from where he had been laying on Shiya's legs and looked around. He sighed and laid back again.
Ienzo stood and started to walk around the merry-go-round to see if anyone was coming. He gasped and quickly ran back over to the group.
"Ienzo, what's wrong?" Isa asked him. He pointed over to where he had just been standing and gave a worried expression.
"Is someone coming?" Ezekiel asked him. He nodded frantically.
"Let's go." Isa instructed.
Everyone got up and cautiously started over to the stairs to leave the play area.
"Ah!" Shiya exclaimed as he stopped and held onto Ezekiel's shirt.
"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"My leg. Charley horse." He ground out.
"Damn," Ezekiel frowned. He quickly looked around to see if anyone was coming and noticed Isa, Lea and Ienzo waiting for them on the stairs.
"Go!" Ezekiel yelled to them.
"No way!" Lea shouted.
"We wont leave you behind." Isa added.
"Ezekiel just go! I'll catch up!" Shiya told his friend. Ezekiel looked at him as if he were crazy. His expression changed to a comforting smile soon after.
"Shiya, I've told time you after time, I'm always going to stay by your side. I'm not leaving now." He said.
"Ezekiel," Shiya started.
"You guys go! We'll find you later." Ezekiel told their friends.
"B-but," stammered Lea.
"Just go already!"
Ienzo looked to where he had originally seen Naminé and Kairi and noticed they were much closer. He frantically pulled at Isa's shirt and pointed. Isa looked over and noticed the two teens making their way over.
"We have to go." He said to Lea.
"But, what about-!"
"Now!" Isa grabbed Lea's hand and tried to pull him up the stairs.
"We can't just leave them!" Lea exclaimed.
"We have to hurry! We'll see them again I promise!" Isa comforted.
Ienzo grabbed onto Lea's shirt and started pulling him up the stairs. Lea turned to him and saw his worried expression. He looked back to Ezekiel and Shiya and saw the white haired teen trying to rub the cramp out of his calf.
"Promise me we'll see you again!" Lea yelled at them.
Ezekiel looked up to him, nodded and gave a thumbs up. Lea nodded back and turned to his other friends.
"Okay, let's go."
The three ran off leaving Shiya and Ezekiel to take care of themselves.
"How close are they?" Shiya asked.
"I'm not sure." He answered.
Their hearts were racing. Knowing they were about to be found by the enemy at any second, knowing that the end was almost near.
"I'll carry you." Ezekiel blurted out.
"What?" Shiya asked, confused.
"I'll carry you." Ezekiel repeated, this time with more emphasis.
"No, why don't you just leave me! It's okay!" Shiya urged.
"I'm not leaving you!" Ezekiel said with a frown. They were quiet for a moment. Shiya looked at his friend.
"Why do care so much?" He asked.
"Because, you're my friend." Ezekiel smiled, hugging the smaller teen.
"Hey!"
They both turned to meet their end.
~X~
Vanitas turned quickly at hearing the voice behind him.
"Sora you idiot! Don't yell like that!" Vanitas said as he threw his hand over his younger brother's mouth. The force caused Sora to backup into Riku who made a grunt of annoyance.
Vanitas straightened himself and removed his hand from the other's mouth.
"I knew you'd look for us." he said.
"Well who else would I look for?" Sora smiled.
"Roxas?" Aqua tried.
"I found him earlier. He was with Hayner and Pence." Sora informed.
"He's been finding every person he can." Riku said with a sigh. "They should have made him a seeker."
"Where did you see Roxas, Hayner and Pence?" a girl asked from behind Terra and Aqua.
"Oh, they were in Spencer's." Sora said.
Terra and Aqua moved to see who had asked the question. Xion and Olette were holding up six green bandana's in their hands, three to each of them. They wore large smiles as Olette waved two bandanas in her right hand.
"Whoa!" Sora exclaimed. He looked down to the pocket on his right pant leg and noticed his bandana was no longer hanging out of it. Riku checked his pocket and noticed that he was missing his bandana.
Everyone else checked where they had had their bandanas and were not only amazed but shocked to find that their's too were missing.
"How'd you do that!" Sora asked, amazed.
"Xion is pretty tricky!" Olette smiled.
"But what about Aqua's?" Ventus asked. "Hers was on her arm. How'd you get it?"
"When Sora and Riku showed up and distracted everyone it gave me the chance to take the bandanas and not have anyone notice. I was careful not to make too much of a scene with it. I just moved carefully and took them without anyone noticing." Xion informed.
"So, you mean you just moved slow and cautious right?" Riku asked.
"Yes," Xion nodded.
"That's amazing." Terra smiled.
"Thanks," Xion blushed.
"So, I guess that means we're all out." Aqua said.
"Freakin'! Sora! This is all your fault!" Vanitas yelled at him.
"I'm sorry!" Sora exclaimed.
Vanitas wrapped his arm around the younger's neck and thus the struggle for freedom ensued.
~X~
"Sora just texted me." Roxas said, looking up from his phone. "He said he, Ventus, Vanitas, Riku, Aqua and Terra all just got caught."
"That's what they get for being in a large group." Hayner pointed out.
"He said Olette and Xion found them and they overheard him saying how he had found us earlier. Olette had tricked him into saying where he found us. Knowing him, being tricked was probably her just walking up to him and asking where we were."
"That's not a trick." Pence said, confused.
"He's saying Sora's stupid." Hayner elaborated.
"He is." Roxas said.
"Well we have to get of here then!" Pence exclaimed.
"Right!" Hayner smiled. "Let's go! I know were we can hide!"
The three made their way to the store's entrance and right as they were going to turn the corner Olette and Xion rounded it as well.
"Looks like you knew we were coming!" Olette smiled.
"Aw man!" Hayner whined. "I really wanted to win!"
"Hand 'em over." Olette said, holding out her hand.
Roxas and Hayner took their bandanas off their wrists while Pence simply took his out of his pocket. They handed them over and Olette carefully placed them in the hood of Xion's shirt. The three boys gave her weird look.
"We've been putting the bandanas in Xion's hood so it'd be easier to carry." Olette explained.
"Right," Hayner drawled out.
~X~
Zexion and Lexaeus had found multiple people and collected their bandanas. They had received a text that all the players had finally been found and it was time for all the seekers to meet up in the food court.
The two teens were making their way across the mall to the food court when a man who looked just as Lexaeus came across their path. He was a bit taller then his son but just as brute.
"So, you played in this little game till the end?" Aeleus asked.
Lexaeus nodded in reply and moved to go around his father. It was silent until the orange haired man and his small friend had walked past his father.
"Lexaeus," The man started. "I'm sorry."
Lexaeus turned and looked to his father, amazed that he had apologized. Zexion frowned and turned to face the man too.
"Maybe I've been pushing you to do too much too soon." Aeleus said. "I'll remember next time. All work and no play will make you dull. But you must remember, there are times to work and be serious too."
"I know." Lexaeus replied. He turned away from his father and placed a hand on Zexion's back, turning him and moving him towards the food court.
Waiting there was Kairi, Naminé, Olette and Xion. They all smiled as they saw the two males heading over.
"That went great!" Olette smiled.
"Yeah, everyone followed the rules and we were able to find everyone!" Kairi informed. "We'll post info on the website tonight to tell the players who the last people to be found were and some info on the video we'll be putting together of the event."
"Well, that's it." Olette shrugged.
"Thanks again Zexion for making the website and helping us so much. And thank you Lexaeus for being a seeker. We really needed you." Naminé smiled.
"Of course." Zexion said.
Author's Notes: Yeah! Awesome! Hide and Seek! Okay, so that's done. Pretty nice to write. Oh and the whole super ass dramatic part with Lea, Isa, Ienzo, Ezekiel and Shiya, yeah, that was like, suppose to be like a war zone thingy. "No! I wont leave him behind!" "I promise we'll meet again!" Yeah, I don't know. Oh and the part where Terra like "That's awesome" and Xion was like "Le Blush" That was really random. I was typing and I was like "What if girls were all over Terra and he was like oblivious to people liking him?" So yeah, you can just pretend Xion has a tiny srush on him or just be like "THIS AUTHOR SUCKS! /STAB I HATE YOU WRITING PERSON YOU!" …Yeah.
Hope you enjoyed! Please review, follow, favorite, stalk or whatever it is that you do! :)
