Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter because, it's the end. (Aki {who is sitting right next to Dorku]: Wow. Way to be blunt.)
Akilina-chan wrote this all for me, so... she's awesome! Go read her stories, because they kick ass. (Aki: Not really.)
Love you all! Thanks for reading! :D
So today was the fourth day into this handcuffed thing and my wrist definitely needs some aloe lotion, not to be girly or anything. Axel is a rough-houser. Interestingly enough, the day before, he had wanted to hang out with Demyx who was handcuffed to one of my friends, Lexaeus. I had a very nice time yesterday, but all good things must come to an end. That was where Axel stormed off, dragging me away for no good reason, and plastering himself to his bed, already asleep.
Now, we were all on our way to the Meeting Hall. Xemnas had something important to tell us (that being announced on the intercoms throughout the Castle) and it was super hard to get Axel to come. He was asleep and he wouldn't wake up! It took me an hour to get him out of bed! How'd I get him out, you say? Well, I'd rather not go into it but..if you insist.
"Axel get up! We have a meeting to go to!" I yelled in his ear. Axel, who was laying on his stomach, reached out a hand, held it up in front of my face, and spread his fingers out.
"Five more minutes, Sherlock." I sighed. I wasn't Sherlock Holmes!
"We don't have five minutes. We have to be there now!" That's when it hit me. He was still angry about the Halloween Town incident! I shrugged it off. So what if I wanted to go to the right and not the left. "Listen here, buster. We have a meeting to go to, so stop obsessing over the fact that I was wrong about going right in Halloween Town and get your lazy butt up!" All he did was groan. If I could hit him, I would. But sadly, he'd somehow gotten his hand out of the handcuffs and handcuffed both my hands to the bed. Kinda weird, but he didn't do anything but fall asleep after that so I guess he just did that so he could sleep comfortably and not have to worry about me sneaking off and sleeping in my room. Evil person, he is.
I'll have to get him back somehow.
"Axel!! We have to leave!" I squirmed around a bit and he just rolled over! Stupid firehead..
That remotely continued for an hour until he finally turned to face me, still asleep. I smirked at what I was about to do. Hey, he might kill me later but it was worth it if he woke up. Jeeze, that guy slept like the Dickens.
With one swift movement, I kicked him where the sun don't shine.
It worked, of course it would. It was my plan, so it wouldn't have failed. Axel jumped out of bed and collapsed on the floor, unable to stand up. Guess I've got a pretty good kick. Maybe Ienzo played soccer or something..
Five minutes later, Axel was grasping me by the throat demanding why I did that. I, without air, was unable to answer him. Thankfully, a knock on the door saved my pitiful Nobody life. Thank Shiva for whoever was there.
Axel trudged, quick reluctantly, over to the door, pulling on a pair of jeans all the way. The door was opened to reveal a very smug looking Larxene. Haven't seen her in a while, but I thank her anyway.
Larxene smirked as she peered into the bedroom. "Have a nice night, Axel? I didn't know bondage was your thing." She waggled her eyebrows. Sickening, really. How dare she imply that!! "We'll have to try it out sometime, yes?"
Axel, hopefully still in his sleep induced state of mind, "Sure, whatever you want, babe." Please, Shiva, get me out of this!
And after Larxene left, Axel came over, unlocked the handcuffs with a pair of keys he most likely stole from Xemnas, and re-hooked it onto our wrists. He then dragged me out of the room and to the meeting hall.
This is where you find us now. Anxiously trying to determine whether or not we should go in now, or wait until Larxene gets back to let us in. See, Larxene had told us she would be in the kitchen and would come to let us in as soon as she was done getting a drink. Probably of the blood of little children Vexen molested and handed to her to kill..I shivered. I noticed then that for some reason, Axel wasn't emitting any heat today. I wonder why..
"Hey Axel?"
"What?" He snapped back. Jeeze...touchy.
"Um, I was just wondering why you weren't emitting heat today?" I worded that totally wrong. I feel like an idiot now. I scratched the back of my head nervously. That was a very uncalled for question. I couldn't help it though! I was curious!
"Wouldn't you like to know." He said smugly and I, out of frustration, walked right into the Meeting Hall.
All heads turned to us upon our entrance and we both shyly took our seats.
"This, my dear colleagues, is the most perfect example of what I was just talking about." Xemnas announced from his position at the head of the table. Before Axel could voice his thoughts, for I was sure he was just about to ask what exactly Xemnas was talking about, Xemnas spoke up again.
"You two gave me the worst headache I've ever had. You were late today, you disobeyed my direct orders, you nearly killed three people, you can't decide on anything, you failed your missions, and I swear, if my hair wasn't already this color, it would be gray from stress. Just from you two! And that isn't even the half of it! All of you, when put together like this, drive me insane!" Behind me, Luxord snickered at our failures. Cocky idiot..
"Vexen!" He said, turning to said person and Roxas, who was thankfully no longer Roxanne, though his hair does seem longer.. "You were the last person I would expect to be in the number two spot for most annoying! You performed countless experiments on my prized number 13, which was forbidden. And you knew that! The only ones," Xemnas said, sighing, "who did not bother me at all this week were Lexaeus and Demyx. For that, I sincerely thank you both from the bottom of my soul."
"Can you just get to the point, Superior-dude?" Xigbar said, a bored tone invading his voice.
"I suppose." Xemnas cleared his throat and stood up straight. "Due to the fact that I believe you all work much better when not handcuffed, I am releasing you from your shackles." Many cheers were heard all around the table. "Even though!" Xemnas yelled, everyone got quiet. "Even though you all argue, I do not get bothered when you do so. Nor has there been this much damage to each one of you when you were by yourselves." I looked around. Everyone did seem to be hurt somehow. Wow. I guess it wasn't just me and Axel who didn't get along this...half week. "So, I expect you all to go back to normal and not bother me. Understood?"
Everyone nodded. Xemnas sighed and gave a half smile. I was glad too. I can finally get away from this idiot! "Now, everyone can come up here, two at a time! And be released. Now if I can only find those keys...Saix, do you have them?" Saix checked his pockets and gave a negative. Xemnas' expression grew into one of annoyance. Axel sniggered and reached into his coat pocket, drawing out the keys and throwing them right in front of Xemnas. Xemnas glared at Axel and for a second, I thought he might kill us all, but his 'anger' subsided. The unlocking process had begun.
I watched as Axel ran over to the newly released Demyx and chatted for a while. Lexaeus came over and stood beside me, probably confused as to why I wasn't rushing off to my room. Truth is, Axel kind of...got to me? He's...interesting, to say the least.
Axel and Demyx were making their way to the door and I found myself listening in to their conversation.
"So what did you think of your time with Zexy?" Demyx had asked, rather chipper. Axel visibly drooped and gave an evil smirk. He turned to me and Lexaeus, the smirk still on his face.
"Hey 'Zexy'!" He mocked. "Catch!" And with that said, he summoned the biggest fireball I've ever seen and hurled it at me. (It had to be at least two of me!!) Quickly, Lexaeus pulled me out of the way and unfortunately, it blasted it's way to Xemnas. Xemnas was pushed (thrown) into the wall and the fireball disintegrated. Xemnas stood up, hardly scathed due to his own power over Nothing, and growled at Axel. Axel's eyes widened and he grinned viciously, telling Demyx to run away. Xemnas, probably due to lack of better judgment, ran after him, shouting declarations of war against the red head.
My mind wandered around, finally figuring out why Axel wasn't emitting heat. He planned that and was saving his power up! Evilevilevilevil..
"I hope Xemnas gets him and gets him good." I said venomously. Lexaeus chuckled and offered me his arm. We strolled out of the Meeting Hall to go to our rooms. (they were right beside each other, yanno) As we passed the kitchen, we heard a loud, very girlish screech followed by multiple bangs and clangs from pots and pans. Xaldin's growl and Larxene's evil cackle followed before Marluxia came running out wearing nothing but Xaldin's "kiss the cook" apron. I shook my head and I heard Lex sigh.
We passed the Dining room and well, Luxord, Xigbar, and Demyx (who found no reason to run away from Xemnas) were there playing poker. What kind of poker? That is for your oh so lovely imagination. Needless to say, there wasn't much poker goings ons.
Moving on passed the labs, we heard a very loud prominent 'BOOM' and Vexen burst out of the door, black as a piece of coal. We didn't want to know what happened.
The whereabouts of Saix and Roxas were unknown, but they were always a quiet bunch of Nobody, so-
Spoke too soon.
Roxas ran past us at a terribly frightening speed, a grin on his face and Saix's patented, 'I love Superior' boxers in hand. Guess the kid isn't as 'quiet' as I presumed him to be. A few seconds later, as predicted, Saix came bounding after. He was strangely foaming at the mouth.
Soon, we reached our rooms and Lexaeus turned to me. "I must say," He started, looking quite amused. "after what we've just observed, that handcuffed thing was completely pointless." And at that moment, I couldn't agree with him more.
Welcome back to normalcy.
Well, now it's all over. I hope you liked it. Thank you to anyone who actually read this far... I love you all! You guys made me really happy what with all your reviews and favorites.
Have a great day! :D
