What was wrong with that man? It was like he was sick in the head or something. Then again, he probably was. How dare he take that chance, to gamble her life so easily! What did he think she was? Just some nobody? He could have atleast warned her he was possibly about to burn her alive. Although that would have meant showing a bit of courtesy, and one thing Axel wasn't, was courteous. Along with kind, helpful, friendly, useful, generous, caring, a decent human being- scratch that, a decent nobody. Did decent nobodies even exist? Pondering that thought Xenta sat up on her bed. She'd been escorted back to her room by Axel the other night, evidently still not being trusted to walk about without getting lost, and the two boys had gone off for 'the icing on the cake.' Something she had not been invited to.
Except after staying put in a room so dull and lifeless it now haunted her nightmares, for over half the day, Xenta came to the conclusion she'd rather try her luck at getting misplaced again than stay behind that door for another minute.
Jumping off of the bed and landing with a light 'thud', the teenager made her way quietly out of the room, not forgetting the grab her mandatory organisation XII coat on the way and quickly pulling it on over her black tank top and jeans. Ok, so really she had no idea if it was mandatory or not, but so far she hadn't seen anybody without one on.
Before she managed to even make it to the end of the white corridor however, a voice spoke up, causing her to wheel around on the spot and a look of guilt to cover her face. Though she had no idea why.
"Going for a stroll Poppet?" Admittedly, Xenta had expected it to belong to Axel, what with her 'stalking' theory and all. So it was a nice surprise when she saw, not spiky red hair, but dark brown straight hair, pulled back in a pony tale. Although that did make her briefly think of what Axel would look like with his hair up.
The older man coughing brought her out of the daydream however, and she looked at him properly attempting to remember his name. 'Xigdin?' she thought, then shook her head slightly. It sounded right but not right at the same time "Didn't you get lost the last time you went for a stroll?" Xigsomething asked, as Xenta still tried to remember his name. Xig… ber? No. Ben? No. Bar? Xigbar..? Yes, that was it! Unfortunately as her mind had been busy with the name recall she hadn't heard a thing he'd been saying.
"I'm sorry, what Xigbar?" She asked, glad to be able to use his name,. The older man didn't look annoyed however at her question to repeat himself, but instead smiled. Xenta wasn't sure which was which was stranger.
"I said shouldn't you be on a mission? Not wondering the halls lost?" she thought about that for a moment whilst chewing her bottom lip lightly. If she was supposed to be on a mission, why had no one told her? Unless they were so secret not secret not even she could know. Ok, that was just stupid.
"I'll go find out" she said, over her shoulder to Xigbar whilst running to the end of the corridor and into another. Honestly, she had no idea where she was going yet again, and her best bet was the common room type place Axel had taken them to meet Roxas in earlier. There had been atleast three others in there, and Saix, who would surely know if she were meant to be doing something. Damn it, why hadn't she asked Xigbar for directions? Well, she knew the answer to that. She didn't want to appear lost. Again. Unfortunately she was however, lost. And creating a portal was off the cards considering she'd ended up in a bedroom last time. So that left walking around like a lost sheep until she stumbled into someone else or the room. Wonderful.
Sighing loudly and shoving her hands into her coat pockets, Xenta took off down another white corridor, trying to remember the route Axel had taken in her head. The only problem was every new corridor looked the same.
So, it was honestly was a miracle when the dark haired girl turned yet another corner and saw the 'common room' as she was now calling it. Ha, and people had the cheek to say she was lost. Walking into the room, she glanced around. The not very nice blonde girl was sat in one corner, along with a guy playing a sitar who never seemed to do much work. She noticed Saix stood against the far wall however, his blue hair contrasting with the white wall as he stared out at the moon. Though as she began to walk over to him a voice from behind her caught her attention once more,
"I'm impressed, you managed to make it here without ending up in Marluxia's bedroom." Turning to face the Pyromaniac, Xenta crossed her arms over her chest. How did he knew she'd got there without getting lost in a bedroom?
"You are stalking me?" she almost shouted, having a hard time keeping her voice down. Everything he did seemed to stir up feeings that weren't supposed to exist. Maybe it was just her memory returning.
"Stalking would imply I like you" or maybe Axel was just a complete asshole.
"What would you call it then?" She questioned, letting him push her out of the room where her voice was causing the others to look in their direction.
"Let's go with stalking" He said, once they were out of the room. Glaring up at the older man she took a step closer,
"Why?" Axel gave a small shrug before matching her step and grinning his usual grin,
"Because according to Saix, I'm your new babysitter" She'd have to have a word with Saix. He couldn't be serious could he? What insane person would let that redhead look after anyone? Then again, non-of the organisation seemed all that sane.
"What about Roxas?" she wondered allowed, grasping at straws. Hopefully the zombie would be babysat too.
"With Marluxia today" Crap.
"What's that for?" She asked, feeling like they were playing a 20 questions game, but got pushed through a portal that had appeared infront of Axel.
"Can you fight?" Was the last thing she heard before she got a mouthful of sand.
