Sum: Xigbar finds a strange rock in the crystal caverns of Hollow Bastion and decides to give it to Luxord.
Xigbar was playing a game of Go Fish with Luxord and so far he was winning, though he suspected that Luxord was allowing him to win.
"Gimme your two of hearts."
"Oh, darn." Luxord muttered as he handed the card to Xigbar.
"I think you're letting me win." Xigbar growled, glaring at the blonde.
"Why would you think that, love?" Luxord inquired innocently.
Xigbar stood up, placing his hands on the table as he leaned closer to Luxord.
Because I've won the last four games. I'm not that lucky."
Luxord copied Xigbar's position as he smiled.
"Do you have any proof….?"
"No, but if you don't take it seriously, I'm gonna hurt you."
"I don't think you can."
"You think I won't? !" Xigbar leaned closer to the blonde as he growled.
Luxord's smirk widened.
"Are we gonna kiss now?"
Xigbar grinned. "I hope so."
A clipboard was placed between the two Nobody to block them and Xigbar glared at the culprit.
"Hey! Stop doing that."
Saix retracted his clipboard. "No P.D.A. Now, Xigbar, you have a mission in Hollow Bastion to destroy Heartless."
"Now?"
Saix narrowed his eyes slightly. "Now."
Xigbar pouted and grudgingly walked toward a Dark Portal that Saix had opened up for him.
"Snipe."
A Shadow was destroyed.
"Snipe."
Bookmaster.
"Snipe."
Spiked Crawler.
"Snipe snipe snipe."
Scarlet Tango, Shadow, and Fat Bandit.
Xigbar sighed as he walked through the quiet city.
"Sure, send me here, Saix." He muttered. "You know I hate it. Well, I hate you!"
The Freeshooter fired a random shot into the sky.
"Stupid bastard…."
Xigbar continued to trudge along before he stopped when he saw a cute, tiny Shadow.
"Aw, it's a little baby Heartless." Xigbar crouched down and poked the Heartless.
"You're too cute to kill. Maybe I'll take ya home, huh?"
The Shadow made a sort of giggling noise and pointed behind Xigbar.
The Freeshooter looked behind him to see tow Giga Shadows that were as large as a Fat Bandit standing a few feet away, growling at him.
"This is…your kid?"
The two Heartless took a step toward Xigbar.
"…Later."
Xigbar bolted as the two Heartless chased after him.
"Why am I running?" Xigbar muttered to himself. "I can warp."
The two Giga Shadows stopped as the Nobody abruptly vanished and they looked around in confusion.
Xigbar sighed as he appeared in the crystal cave on the outskirts of Hollow Bastion.
"Parents are scary…."
Xigbar glanced around, gazing at the crystal surrounding him.
"Wow…it's pretty…."
The sniper suddenly noticed something strange and picked up a rock that was half blue and half yellow with the two colors meeting in the center and swirling together.
"Hey, this isn't a crystal…."
Xigbar grinned.
"I gotta show Luxord!"
"Luxord, Luxord!"
Luxord looked up from the book he was reading.
"Yes, Xigbar?"
"Look what I found in the crystal caves in Hollow Bastion!" Xigbar showed the blonde the rock he had found.
Luxord took it and inspected it.
"A xenolith…."
"….Huh?" Xigbar asked.
"This is rock that was found outside of its natural igneous habitat, yes?"
"Uh…sure."
"It's very pretty…." Luxord handed the rock back to Xigbar. "It reminds me of our eyes."
"Our eyes?" Xigbar stared at the rock before he suddenly smiled. "Oh, because it's gold and blue?"
"Yes." Luxord nodded as he hut his book and stood up. "But it's also beautiful."
The blonde kissed the Freeshooter and smiled as he stepped back.
"Just like you."
Xigbar grinned as he pulled Luxord into a hug and the two were quiet before Xigbar suddenly thought of something.
"Does that make me a xenolith?"
Luxord snickered as he buried his face in Xigbar's chest.
If you're wondering why Xigbar hates Hollow Bastion, it's because as a Somebody he lived there(Back then it was known as Radiant Garden and Numbers 1 through 8 lived there :) ). So that's why he's ranting about it. Anyway, next chapter is Yacht. R and R, please.
