Hey guys, how's it going? Good grief, I can't believe its been a whole year since I published a new chapter!! D: I've been busy with school and stuff andworseyet, I haven'thad any real insperation to write. So sorry if this chapter isn't very decent...or long. I really couldn't think of anything. Eh, enjoy anyway. :)

Disclaimer: In a year do you really think I could make enought money to buy Square Enix? I didn't think so.

The 'clacking' sound of Tori's new boots echoed lightly off the wide walls. Zexion had insisted that she wore them before allowing her to go off on a wild goose chase. Any mother would have been proud of the forceful nagging that lasted a second longer than it should have.

A simple thanks had been given along with a nudge in the right direction. Xigbar was waiting anxiously for Tori to show up and stop the impending doom that was befalling the poor helpless Nobodies. Zexion would have accompanied her, but work needed to be finished around the lab that could not be put aside for much longer. Though he would not like to have mention it, he almost wanted to go and watch the coming fight himself.

But being the person he was, he stood back while the others faced forward to the coming storm.

Relief washed over Xigbar like a tidal wave, crashing over his unspoken fear when Tori finally made it to the Hall of Empty Melodies, the same place where she had fought Saix. Speaking of him, the lucky number seven stood coldly a few paces away from the fidgeting number two, a furry silver feline tucked securely under his arm.

The midget felt her stomach do tiny flips as snarls erupted from the Berserker's throat. Immediately following came the pure outrage.

"What have you done to the Superior!?" he hissed ferociously.

Tori quivered slightly. Moments passed as the blue-haired man waited for his answer. "Um," she murmured. Exactly what was she supposed to tell him without having her face rearranged? That she felt threatened? That he now smells better? That he now looks cuter as a cat and he should be grateful!? (The last one would have her body stuck to the side of the wall, engulfed in flames.) "It was an accident," she finally mumbled. An eyebrow was raised. "Honestly, I didn't even realize it had happened till afterwards."

Saix eyed her carefully before taking a step forward, Tori mimicking a second later. Small footsteps sounded in the hazy tension. Eventually they stood face-to-face. His yellow iris' scrutinized her paling face, taking in all of her hidden terror. He enjoyed it, the way everyone seemed to cower at his presence, swelling up his imploding ego. Being faithful to the superior had its pros and cons, but the fear always took the icing on the cake.

Number Seven slowly extended his arms out, Xemnas tight in his grip. Tori's hands reached out automatically to take the Superior, her hands shaking slightly. Her small fingers clenched in on his soft silver fur, her feet numbly moving away from the frightening man. Xemnas looked agitated, an ear twitching in annoyance. Green eyes closed in utmost concentration.

'Alright,' Tori thought to herself. 'This shouldn't be to hard. Just imagine Xemnas. Xemnas, Xemnas, Xemnas...hey, I'm still hungry. I wish I had a taco...uh oh.' She opened her eyes in fear. Now in her hands sat a taco on a white china plate. She didn't bother to look at Saix. His murderous stare would just make her faint. "W-what have you done...?" His voice was barely audible, which was a bad sign. His glowing yellow eyes were wide with terror. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" Saix lashed out his hands, reaching for her throat, but froze in shock. Tori had the taco Xemnas between her teeth, ready to take a bite.

"Step back now," She hissed. "Or else I'll eat him." The Berserker shook in irate frustration. His breath was coming in short rasping gasps. His boiling blood made his temper fly; one false move and the midget was finished.

Time eased by effortlessly as Saix eventually calmed down, fixing his surly composure. His feet glided back ten feet in seconds. He gave an expectant look, signaling Tori to continue. She took the edible superior from her mouth and carefully placed him back onto the plate before setting him on the floor. Her breath slid from her throat uneasily as she closed her eyelids yet again. 'Ok, lets get this right so I live. Taco, taco on this plate, turn into something great...well he's really not that great, but he has some cool eyes. The amber/orange color is rather unique and complement the silver hair quite well...alright, alright. Mr. Taco, please turn back into Xemmy, leader of the Organization.'

Tori sighed in relief when she saw Number One standing in front of her. Xigbar laughed obnoxiously, his way of showing his own gratefulness. Xemnas had a dazed look on his face as Saix stepped up to him. "Superior, are you alright?" He asked in panic. The Superior blinked several times before nodding. Slowly, he turned to face Tori, a curios look plastered on his face. Several moments passed by before he made any attempt at speaking.

"Don't do that again," was all he managed to spit out. A hand came up to massage his wrinkled forehead, a single sign of stress. "I believe a punishment is suitable for this action." He started to walk away, Saix trailing behind him like a lost puppy. He paused for a brief moment and breathed in deeply. "...Thank you for changing me back." He looked back at the midget and nodded. The men disappeared in a cloud of black mist.

Tori brought two fingers up to her throat, feeling for a pulse. Xigbar glanced at her with a puzzled face. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Trying to see if I'm still alive. I believe I am," she mumbled quietly. Number Two chuckled, glad the confrontation was over. Now there were no more elves breathing down his neck. His gloved hand landed on her head in a soft pat. "Well done kid," he smiled at her. "You've just survived a beast and his master. What do you have planned for next?"

Tori thought for a moment, her face blank. "I could say 'I'm going to Disney World', but I've already seen that big headed mouse and his dorky companions, so I'd rather just raid your kitchen if you don't mind." She smiled. "Tacos are sounding pretty good now."

Xigbar rolled his visible eye while opening up a portal and kicking her into it. She squeaked in surprise as she passed through. "Enjoy your meal kid!" He shouted after her, an innocent expression glued to his scared face. Tori groaned as she rolled across the painfully white kitchen floor. She sat up annoyed, her stomach growling. "If I wasn't so hungry, I would be mad. Oh well, I'm here now so look out tummy, here comes yummy, yummy!"


Just a quick note: I don't know when I will post a new chapter for this story again. Right now I'm going to work on writng chapters for my other ones. And just shoot me since I want to write more new stories. (Especially about sexy J-rockers)
