Xion followed orders. Saïx told her the directions, and she obeyed. That's what you were supposed to do, right?
Lately, though, she had begun wondering what this was all really for. Where was this leading her? Things didn't add up.
Today, however, she had no time for such thoughts. Her partner was suspicious and knowing, and she couldn't bear to give anything away.
"Well, Poppet, you seem distracted today. Thinking about a special someone?"
Xion slashed through another Heartless and tried to ignore Xigbar. He was smarted than he led others to believe. She knew that much.
Xigbar rose one of his guns in her direction and she froze in shock. What was he doing…?
She flinched as his shot just barely missed her and instead knocked back a Hover Ghost behind her.
"It almost looked like you were afraid, Poppet. Nervous, since you were used to working with Roxas?"
Xion shook her head and got back to fighting heartless.
"Why were you two stuck together so long?" he asked her, as if he already knew.
"H-he was just showing me the ropes," Xion said.
"You seem pretty nervous for a Nobody," Xigbar smirked.
"Can you just leave me alone and focus on the mission?" Xion snapped.
While she was distracted, a Carrier Ghost lifted her up. She struggled to break free and hit at it, but she was barely affecting it. She kicked and scratched at it as it continued to drain her strength, until it finally let her go and she fell to the ground. She quickly drank a potion then looked pointedly at Xigbar. "Why didn't you help me?"
Xigbar shrugged and let out a soft chuckle. "As if. I was just following your orders."
