Fire Dancer
(you're playing with fire)


o1: smile
Axel was a Nobody, and Nobodies didn't have emotions, so why did he feel light headed everytime she smiled at him?

o2: treat
Okay, so he had kidnapped her, dragged her through a portal to some unknown town, and refused to tell her where he was taking her, but when he offered her a sticky blue ice cream bar and smiled at her, she instantly forgave him.

o3: eyes
Her eyes reminded him reminded him of the ocean, and despite being a fire master, he wasn't afraid to fall in them.

o4: weapon
"What are those?" she asked. "Chakrams." "Chakrams? Is that foreign for 'spinning blades of doom'?" "Probably."

o5: darkness
When they first entered the portal, she clung to him, and he found himself not minding the feeling of her small, fragile body pressed against his bigger, battle-scarred one.

o6: heart
"What are you searching for?" she asked him as they munched on Sea Salt ice cream. "Something I thought was lost," he replied as he watched her finish her treat and smile at him, giving him that funny feeling in his chest again.

o7: finger-paint
She wouldn't stop staring at him, so he finally asked her what it was that had managed to capture her attention; she gently ran a finger over his teardrop tattoos and whispered, "Aren't you a little old to be playing in finger-paint?"

o8: names
"Name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" he declared as her grabbed her arm and dragged her toward the portal; "Oh, that's nice. You can spell. Well, I'm Kairi. K-A-I-R-I and I don't care who you are. Got that memorized?" she retorted.

o9: flames
He thought it would be funny to try and set her shoes on fire as she walked; she thought it was funny because the first time he managed to light one shoe, she threw him in the water fountain located in the town square – everyone saw.

1o: fade
He didn't want to fade away (then again, no one does), but when he thought about her, he knew that saving her life meant more than his own and willingly gave the last of his strength for the keyblade bearer; it didn't ease the ache in his chest as he lay there thinking of him and assuring himself that he had done the right thing.

11: emerald
His eyes reminded her of emeralds, and she felt guilty when she told him that his eyes were much more beautiful than Sora's.

12: pink
He had flaming red hair, and she would tease him about adding bleach to his shampoo; he always checked his shampoo after that – he didn't want to explain why his hair was pink to the Superior.

13: nickname
He called her Princess, and no matter how hard she tried to bribe him or how horrible her threats were, he wouldn't stop; eventually, she got used to it, and on the days when he wouldn't call her it, she got a little annoyed and reminded him that it was "Princess" that he was talking to.

14: dreams
When he had first kidnapped her, her dreams were of a sapphire eyed, chocolate caramel headed boy who wielded a key-shaped weapon; slowly the boy was replaced by a lithe fire-controlling man with fiery hair and emerald eyes who wielded spinning blades of doom instead.

15: kiss
It was unexpected, and she didn't plan on doing it, but when the man called Saix showed up and tried to take her away, she kissed him; funny, but it felt more right to her than any of her kisses with Sora did.

16: drawing
She couldn't draw to save her life, but he asked him to draw him a masterpiece and she drew him the thing he wanted the most – a heart; she didn't see his tears as he folded it up and placed it inside of his robe (right where a heart should be).

17: friend
He had started out as her kidnapper, but over time, she began to see him less and less as a man to be afraid of and more and more as someone she could count on; imagine his surprise when she told him he was one of her best friends.

18: fear
She had dealt with being kidnapped, having her heart sealed in Sora, losing her family, and forgetting her friend, and she had remained calm, strong, and cheerful regardless; Axel thought it was hilarious that she could handle all those things, yet she terrified of a small non-threatening bug.

19: hug
He had won her a stuffed teddy bear at a carnival in Twilight Town, and she had hugged him as a thank you; he told her she was the first to do so since he became a Nobody.

2o: promise
"Hey Axel, do you remember what you were like before you became a Nobody?" "Yeah, but it's not like it matters. Nobody would remember me from when I was a Somebody, and I doubt anyone's going to remember me after I die as a Nobody." "That's not true! I'll remember you, Axel," she declared. "Promise?" She nodded. "I'll remember you too, Kairi." "Promise?" "Promise."
