Chapter 22
Mistletoe..
------------------
Demyx bounced down the hallway wearing what seemed to be a Santa hat. "Yay! Christmas! Christmas!" He chanted excitedly. "This is going to be soo much fun!" He twirled, landing on his right foot. It wasn't so much as the happy part, but the fact of all the mischief he'd be able to have with Axel. Axel wasn't too happy still about no being able to use his fire powers, just recently Xemnas put him on restrictions. Any use of fire would expel his powers, and have him kicked out of the castle permanently.
"Hmm.. I wonder if we have to anyone a certain gift.." He pondered out loud. I guess he'd have to find out at dinner tonight. Shuffling down the rest of the hallway, he opened his door and walked in. Sitting on is bed were 100's of Christmas wreaths waiting to be hung. "Mm.." He walked over to them, spotting a white piece of paper laying on top of one. There was some scribbling on it. Demyx picked up the piece of paper and read what was written.
"Demyx, hang these wreaths on the other members doors and entry ways. Don't mess this up.. OR ELSE!
-Luxord"
Demyx wadded up the paper and threw it into the waste basket by his bed, and took a bundle of wreaths upon his arm like a rack and headed out the door again, this time whistling a Christmas tune. Shutting his door, and taking one of the wreaths, he placed it on his door. Liking the results, he walked on to the next door which happened to be Xaldins'. "….Gee.. I hope he isn't in there." Demyx said slightly nervous. The last thing he wanted was a lance flying through the door at him. He took another wreath off of his arm, and placed it up on the door. He smiled and started walking on, but then shortly stopped after realizing the next door was Saix.
"..Do they want me to get killed?!" He complained, and very quietly tiptoed the rest of the way up to Saix's door. He slowly pulled another wreath off his arm, and started to place the wreath on the door, when it opened. Saix's head popped out of the door way, with glaring yellow eyes. Demyx's face turned very white. "Don't.. even think.. About putting one of those horrible things on my door." He hissed.
Demyx started to sweat nervously. "..Ehehehe..uhm.. C'mon. Saix!" Saix wasn't really one for Christmas. You could say him and maybe Xaldin were the Grinches of the group. "No." With that he shut the door on Demyx, and he only stood there, feeling lucky, yet dumbfounded in everyway. Things weren't going to be easy on him this year.
-------------------
Larxene loved the holidays. Didn't matter which one. She simply loved dressing in something other then just black on such occasions. She was fumbling through her closet, throwing out clothes that didn't matter, or were to small. "I know it's around here somewhere." She muttered, moving her clothes over and spotting something red. "Ah! Here it is!" She pulled the red cloth out, and it was a small red strapless dress with white fur lining the top, and bottom of the skirt. "This should be perfect!" She ran over to her mirror and changed faster then when wind blows in the other direction.
She twirled in front of his mirror, liking what she saw. She too had a Santa hat that would go with the outfit. "This is great! I've been wanting to wear this thing for ages!" "Larxene, you are one sexy lady!" She posed and winked at herself. "Oh please Larxene, don't make a fool of yourself." Came a mocking voice of a familiar flower man.
She grumbled, turning to face Marluxia who was standing in her doorway. "..You're the one to talk.." Marluxia shrugged. "In any case, I here we have to draw this year to get someone gifts." He leaned against the doorframe. Larxene shrugged one shoulder. "I have no clue, who'd you hear it from?"
Marluxia looked around her room. "Demyx." Larxene looked at him as if he was the stupidest man on earth. "More unlikely he's wrong. You know how he is around the Holidays." Marluxia nodded. "True."
"H-Hey! Larxene." She heard another voice, and looked passed Marluxia to see Demyx with all kinds of wreaths rested on one of his arms. "Would you care if I put one of these on your door?"
Larxene shook her head. "No, go right ahead. Might as well. After all.. Flower boy here is in charge of Mistletoe.." She gestured to Marluxia. Marluxia glanced over his shoulder at Demyx and smiled. "That's right. So I'd watch where you step." Demyx quickly looked up, but didn't see any Mistletoe. Marluxia only chuckled. Larxene sighed. "But anyway, you guys need to scram, I'm trying on clothes here." Marluxia waved and walked off, Demyx finished putting the wreath on her door, and too made his way to the next door.
------------------
"Attention! Attention! This is your Superior speaking. I trust all of you, are getting in the Christmas Spirit. Good, because I would like to call a meeting, this very moment. That means everyone, stop what your doing, and come to the meeting hall. Yes.. Xaldin that means take Xigbar off the damned ceiling.."
Xaldin cursed, snapping his fingers and Xigbar fell flat on his stomach against the floor. "…ruin my fun.." He muttered. Xigbar shot up and danced around. "YES! I'm free! Whoo Hoo!" He ran passed Xaldin and out into the hall.
"I shall see everyone there. That is all. Superior out."
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Marluxia stopped putting Mistletoe up, and Demyx had just finished putting wreaths on everyone's door anyway. Axel crawled out of his room, bags under his eyes. Apparently trying to sleep. Roxas had been in the library trying to avoid everyone, but sadly had to go to the meeting, Zexion came out of the kitchen slightly intoxicated off eggnog. Larxene came out of her room all dressed up. Lexeaus, Luxord, and Vexen came in from outside after stringing millions and millions of Christmas lights up all over the castle.
Xemnas was sitting in his chair when everyone arrived. That sat in order by rank once again. Once everyone had gotten situated, he began the meeting.
"Alright, everyone. It's time to draw and see who gets who a gift. As you all know 13 is an uneven number, there for I myself will not be in he drawing, but you may get me something if you so wish. "
A dark portal appeared in the middle of the room, swirling and spinning. "Everyone will take their turns by forcing a dark ball out of the portal, The dark ball will take the form of the nobody it chooses. That will be the nobody you will get a gift for." He gestured, to the floating dark balls inside the portal.
"Now, please, do start drawing."
Saix muttered, as he waved his hand and a dark ball came flying at him, halting right before his face. He made a squeak, and glared at the thing. The dark ball started to twist and turn until if formed Larxene. "..I have Larxene." Larxene cheered. "Whooo! My turn!"
She waved her hand and a dark ball came to her. It to twisted and turned until it formed Xigbar. "I got Xigbar.." She said in a dull voice. Xigbar wasn't too happy either, but at least anyone was better then Xaldin. "All right. My turn!" He flicked his wrist and a ball came to him. It twisted into Marluxia. "..I got flower head." Marluxia glared at him, and made Mistletoe appear over his head.
Luxord was the first oddly enough to notice, and blew a kiss towards Xigbar, who didn't get why until he looked up. His face lit up red. Everyone around them chuckled. Marluxia took his turn. "I got.. V--Vexen.." He said in an annoyed tone. Vexen snickered, and took his turn. "I received.. ..Axel.." Axel cursed, he did not want Vexen. Everyone stared laughing at Axel, Axel glared and took his turn. "C'mon.. show me who I got.." The dark ball took it's time, ad slowly turned into Saix. "..Aw! C'mon! Not him!" Saix smiled shrugging. "I've already picked.." Lexeaus made a move, and a ball came to him forming Xaldin. "..I got Xaldin" Xaldin smiled, and waved his hand, and a ball formed of Zexion. "I have received Zexion."
Zexion sighed hoping he'd get Roxas. He waved his hand slowly, and the ball came to him. His head started to spin, that eggnog didn't do him too good. He waited what seemed minutes but were only seconds when the shape took that of Luxord. He cursed mentally and muttered. "I have.. Luxord." Luxord sighed. Waving his hand, the ball turned into Roxas. "I have Roxas."
Xemnas nodded. "Very good then. Everyone has someone?" Roxas shook his head. "I haven't gone.." He waved his hand.. And the ball formed Demyx. "I have Demyx." Demyx whimpered. "B-But I don't have anyone.." Xemnas sighed. "Then you can get me something." Demyx looked a little nervous but nodded. "A-Alright Sir. I have Xemnas."
Xemnas smiled. "Alright then. Saix has Larxene, Larxene has Xigbar, Xigbar has Marluxia, Marluxia has Vexen, Vexen has Axel, Axel has Saix, Lexeaus has Xaldin. Xaldin has Zexion, Zexion has Luxord, Luxord has Roxas, who in turn has Demyx who in turn has me. Am I correct?" Everyone nodded, in agreement. "Very good then, be sure to get your person a very nice gift."
Everyone made their way out of the meeting hall. Xigbar couldn't get the Mistletoe to go away, and more some strange reason Luxord wouldn't quit following him. Axel was pissed because he figured Vexen would give him some weird science thing he couldn't figure out. Saix was mad for not getting Xemnas. Everyone just seemed to hate anyone they received. Oh well, they had to make due.
------------------
Xigbar rounded the corner, he noticed that Luxord had been following him for quiet sometime now, and it was honestly staring to scare him a bit. Luxord hurried and rounded the corner to catch up with the gunner, but when he did. He didn't see any sign of Xigbar. "Mm…bloody.. Where did he get to?" He held his chin thinking. Little did he know Xigbar was on the ceiling above him watching him. But he couldn't help but be annoyed considering the Mistletoe that Marluxia so kindly bestowed him, wouldn't go the hell away.
"Is there a reason your following me Luxord? I didn't lose any money to you, or owe you for that matter." He called down to him. Luxord felt stupid for not have noticing to look up, and rested one hand on his hip, glancing up at Xigbar. Indeed the Mistletoe was still there. "I figured, you know maybe you wanted to help me decorate the castle some more.."
Xigbar might have been easy going but he wasn't totally dumb. "..Luxord as much as I'd love to help you right now. I have to go track that flower boy down and get him to rid me of this damned plant." He pointed the to mistletoe. Luxord chuckled under his breath. "Aw come one. It suits you." He complimented him. Xigbar rolled his eyes. "Not today dude." He turned and started walking along the ceiling in the other direction. Luxord only followed him again.
"Maybe I can help you then. I can use my cards to cut away at it." Xigbar stopped and looked down at him. "Hmm..maybe.." He jumped down from the ceiling and walked over to the man. Luxord grinned. 'gotcha..' He thought to himself, as he pretended to inspect the mistletoe. There was something about Xigbar that Luxord suddenly liked. Maybe having this Mistletoe hanging over his head made him realize that.
"Ah, see this is what's making it follow you." He acted like he was pointing at a certain part of the mistletoe. Xigbar stupidly looked up, and bam. His lips were Luxords'.
Xigbar's eye widened, and he tried to push Luxord away, but the mans upper body strength was much more then his own. Luxord nibbled down on Xigbar's lower lip, until he was able to slip his tongue passed the other mans lips.
Xigbar tried once again to push the man away, but found himself slowly giving way to the other man. Why did this have to happen right now, he didn't know why. All he knew was his arms were snaking their way around Luxord's neck pulling him closer. Luxord took this as away of acceptance, and held Xigbar close, until both had to break free for air. The two didn't really say much while catching their breath but their red faces sure proved what they were thinking..
