Chapter V
Kaylee sat in the meeting room with the rest of the Organization. They had been listening to Xemnas droning on for about an hour now, and Kaylee was getting bored. Larxene looked over to see her following something in the air with her finger. She elbowed Marluxia and asked of he knew what their new member was doing. Marluxia shrugged and went back to pretending he was listening to their leader.
In truth, Kaylee had spotted a fly. She was following it as it flew around in circles in front of her, laughing to herself about much more amusing this fly was compared to Xemnas. She sighed as the little bug flew away from her, and then started humming.
Larxene, Marluxia, and Luxord all stared at her. Then Demyx and Axel, soon joined by Saïx, Zexion, and Lexaeus. Kaylee started humming louder, which gave her the attention of Vexen and Xaldin, and soon after, Xigbar and Xemnas. She had her eyes closed, so she didn't notice the entire Organization was staring at her as she started to sing.
"Cat! I'm a kitty cat! And I dance, dance, dance and I dance, dance, dance!"
The Nobodies exchanged glances, then turned back to watching Number 13.
"Cat! I'm a kitty cat! And I meow, meow, meow and I meow, meow, meow!"
Xemnas cleared his throat loudly, then: "Kexlae?" Kaylee stopped.
"Was I singing that out loud?" she asked. Xemnas nodded, looking angry. Kaylee shrunk back in her seat. "Oopsie."
Skyler, Riku, and Sora were sitting on the beach talking. They were getting to be good friends now, although Sora still hadn't gotten over the fact that Skyler beat him. It would be a while before he would accept it, and before Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Skyler would stop bugging him about it.
"Hey, Sora!" the group heard Donald's voice ring out.
"What?" asked Sora. They saw Goofy standing next to the duck, grins on both their faces.
"Sora got beat by a girl! Sora got beat by a girl!" they chanted, dancing around with linked arms, "Sora got beat by a girl! Sora got beat by a girl!"
Riku and Skyler started laughing hysterically, nearly doubling over as the two talking animals chanted.
"Sora got beat by a girl! Sora got beat by a girl!" they just wouldn't stop. Sora was fuming.
"Shut up!" he bellowed, pushing himself to his feet and darting towards Donald and Goofy.
"Eep!" they both shouted, running towards the water. Then a sly grin appeared on Donald's face. He whipped around, grabbed Sora's wrist and, with the help of Goofy, threw the keyblade wielder into the ocean. Riku looked over to Skyler, who was giggling happily.
"What are you laughing about?" he asked. Skyler looked up at him, a huge smile on her face.
"He's getting eaten by a shark!" she exclaimed. Riku, Donald, and Goofy burst out laughing with her as Sora emerged, coughing and soaked.
"What's…so…funny?" he asked between coughs.
"Oh, nothing," said Riku, though he was still laughing a little. Skyler was next to him, about ready to collapse on the sand because of how hard she was laughing. Sora cocked an eyebrow.
"Sure," he said, followed by another cough.
Nicolette and Yuffie had been getting along pretty well. They had told each other all about their friends and lives, and had now gotten into one of the weirdest conversations of their lives.
"Seriously Nicolette, I think Three Musketeers bars are better than Snickers," Yuffie said.
"No way, Yuffie. Snickers are superior," Nicolette replied.
"I don't know how you can think that,"
"Because it's true,"
"Is not!" Yuffie exclaimed.
"Is so!" Nicolette retorted.
"What are you two babbling about?" asked a very annoyed Cid.
"Cid, which is better? Three Musketeers or Snickers?" Yuffie asked. Cid glared at her.
"Honestly, I don't give a crap, Yuffie," he said.
"Just answer the question," said Yuffie. Cid sighed.
"I don't give a crap, Yuffie," he repeated.
"Answer the question!" Yuffie shouted.
"I don't want to!" Cid exclaimed. He then noticed Nicolette glaring at him. "What?"
"Thanks to you," she took a breath and screamed the next part, "I can't hear!"
Cid put his hands over his ears.
"And now I can't hear!" he bellowed. Yuffie was the next to glare at him.
"Neither can I!" she screeched.
"Shut up!" they heard Leon shout. The room went silent.
"What's wrong with him?" Yuffie asked.
"He's been in a mood today," Cid replied, "I think he's just upset."
"About what?" the ninja asked.
"Rinoa," Cid replied, "I think it might be the anniversary of the last day he saw her."
"Aw…Poor Squall," Yuffie said with a pout.
"If you don't mind my asking," Nicolette said, "Who's Rinoa?"
"Leon's old girlfriend," said Cid.
"We don't know what happened, but he hasn't seen her in years," Yuffie explained.
"She's the only one who ever got that kid to open up. He didn't talk anyone before her. To Rinoa, that guy was an open book," Cid continued.
"He hasn't really talked to anyone since she left," said Yuffie.
"He must be having a dark day," Nicolette commented.
"No, Leon doesn't have dark days. Leon has dark weeks and dark months. He doesn't eat, I doubt he sleeps. He just sulks around being rude to everyone, snapping at everyone, making sarcastic comments whenever he can," Cid explained.
"He gets really moody," said Yuffie.
"Well everyone gets like that sometimes," said Nicolette, feeling as if she was defending Leon.
"Leon gets like that too much," said Cid. They heard a crash coming from upstairs.
"That sounded expensive," said Yuffie.
"What was that?" asked Cid.
"I think Leon got angry at an inanimate object," answered Yuffie.
"You see?" Cid said to Nicolette, "Too much."
Back at Castle That Never Was, Kaylee was amazed that she made it out of the meeting room alive. Not only as she happy with fact that no one tried to kill her bursting into song, but she was glad she hadn't died of boredom. Xemnas went on and on, skipping from speech to speech about how they needed to get their hearts back, about Kingdom Hearts, about how Sora was going to get in their way, and something about enjoying pretty flowers, although she could've made up the last one.
Demyx walked into the kitchen to find the crazy warrior sitting at the table with her head down.
"Um, Kexlae, did you have any sugar?" he asked nervously. She lifted her head to see him. She looked very tired.
"No," she replied, "No more sugar. Too much sugar. Suffering…sugar hangover."
"What's a sugar hangover?" Demyx asked.
"It's like a regular hangover, only it's caused by too much sugar," she explained before literally slamming her head back onto the table. She mumbled something Demyx couldn't understand.
"Come again?"
"Do you have any aspirin?" she muttered. Demyx shook his head, then remembered that with her head down on the table she couldn't see him.
"Nope,"
Sora had stayed in the water, splashing Donald and Goofy whenever they came near.
"God they're nuts," Skyler commented. Riku laughed and nodded. "Are they always like this?"
"Pretty much," Riku replied with no hesitation. "Hey, you want to go for a swim?"
"That depends," said Skyler, "Are there sharks in the water?"
"No. None that we've seen," answered Riku. Skyler nodded.
"Okay, but if there's any sign of one I'm screaming and running. I hate sharks."
"Don't worry," said Riku. He saw a smirk grow on Skyler's face.
"Race ya!" she shouted, darted towards the water.
"Hey, get back here!" Riku yelled after her, sprinting to keep up.
"No way!" Skyler called out. She saw Sora bobbing in the waves and got a great idea. She slowed a little as she entered the shallows, then lunged for Sora, tackling him and pushing him under.
"What was that for?" he asked after he had struggled his way back up.
"I was bored," said Skyler, giggling. She looked back to see Riku walking up to them and laughing.
"Good one, Skyler," he said.
"Really? Yay!" Skyler yelled. She jumped up and down clapping, and then tacked Riku. "How was that?" she asked as she let him back up.
"That was…pretty good, too," he said. Skyler was grinning ear-to-ear. "You know, you can get off me now," Riku told her. She glanced down to see that she was still on to of him.
"Sorry," she squeaked as she pushed herself away.
A/N
Yay! Riku moment! Everyone go "aw". Oh, and sorry about the typos in the last chapter. I didn't proof-read that one. Anyway, for anyone who didn't know why I said I didn't own Invader Zim, I used one of Gir's (the cute little robot's) lines. It was "He's getting eaten by a shark." So, in the next chapter there will be, yep, you guessed it, a Leon moment. Yay! Oh, and for any Riku fans, I have a RikuOC oneshot coming out soon called "Dreamers". Hope you read it! Anyway, to get back on topic, please R&R!
