Here it is.
Sorry for the wait.
The trio now sat in Axel's beat up car, traveling down the highway through endless waste land. Namine stretch out in the backseat, "So where did you find this car Axel?" she asked, looking out the window opposite of her. The redhead glanced at her from the rearview mirror, "I found it sitting in front of some train tracks abandoned." He replied, looking back at the road, "But do not drop anything under the passenger's seat because there is…black hole." He warned his friends.
Roxas raised an eyebrow, "Black hole?" he muttered, looking down between his legs under the seat. Namine sighed softly, "So where are we going to look first for your sister?" she asked. The German looked back at her, "I do not think she is very far." Was his only reply before the car fell back into silence. The sky began to get darker, even though there was no actual sun, and the trio pulled over for the night. Roxas and Axel began to set up the ten that was in the trunk as Namine collected the firewood.
"This car came with everything," explained the Russian, "A tent, some blankets, and tobacco. I got lucky."
The two came over to the fire Namine had made after they finished setting up the tent. Axel sat down with a loud sigh, "So, Roxy," he started, earning a glare from said person. "Tell us about this sister of yours." The blonde had a fond look on his face as he talked, "Her name is Xion and me, Sora, and her are triplets." He began, "She has short black hair and light skin. She is very, mellow, and likes the woods." Namine watched her friend talk, trying to imagine the girl he was describing.
The German told the two stories about the three when they were growing up, some were funny but they could not laugh or even smile. Namine yawned, "I think it's time for bed." She announced, heading for the tent. The three could sleep comfortable in the tent with Roxas on the left, Namine in the middle (requested by Roxas, of course), and Axel on the right side.
The blonde girl yawned, snuggling on the blankets in between her to friends, falling into an unusual dreamless sleep.
Waking up to extreme heat and blinding light was never something Namine enjoyed, even before she offed. She opened her eyes slowly, squinting up at the top of the tent. Axel was a terrible snorer, but she was not bothered by it. The blonde girl sat up slowly, running a hand through her hair. Next to her Roxas twitched in his sleep, mumbling something in German before rolling over on his side.
Namine sighed, getting up quietly as not to disturb her friends and stood outside. She stretched her arms in the air, her back popping at the action. "Hello?" she heard a voice call somewhere from the left. She turned towards the voice, seeing a person approaching her slowly. Namine squinted, trying to see who had called to her. It was a girl, who was fair skinned and had black hair and a slightly accent.
The blonde's eyes widened in realization; this was Roxas' sister! It had to be!
Namine bit her lip for a moment before calling to the girl, "Xion?" she called back. The girl stopped a few feet short of her, "Ja (Yes)? How do you know my name?" the girl asked carefully. Namine looked at her, "I'm with your brother, Roxas," she explained, "We were coming to find you."
Xion looked relieved, "Thank goodness." She muttered, walking towards the blonde again and stopping in front of her. "Hello, gut aussehend (Beautiful)." She greeted charmingly, "What is your name?" the dark haired girl inquired.
The blonde looked at her, "Namine." She replied, unsure of what she other girl had said in her own language. There was a shout from the tent along with a rustling noise, "Axel! Get off of me!" demanded Roxas from in the shelter. Axel made a humming noise, "I would rather not my beautiful German." There came rustling and a loud yelp of pain from Axel.
Roxas walked indignantly out of the shitty tent, "Mein Gott (My God)." He muttered, running a skinny hand through his unnaturally spiky hair. "Roxas," Namine called, causing the blonde to look up and meet his sister's eyes. Namine looked at the two; she could tell they were related right away. Their facial structures were completely the same, along with matching soulful blue eyes.
Namine had blue eyes, but the two German's were different. Theirs was a dark blue that resemble some kind of deep body of water. She glanced at Xion, studying her slim form and long legs. The girl gave off a kind of beauty that was not directly there like you would see with most women. Xion was pretty but she did not seem to flaunt it like Kairi did. Kairi was always so obsessed with her appearance; it drove Namine crazy. The blonde girl always felt that you did not need to smother you face with make-up to make yourself beautiful.
The black hair girl looked over to Namine and caught her staring. She smiled with her eyes, "Süße (Sweet one), see something you like?" Namine flushed and Roxas stared open mouthed at his sister, "X-Xion!" he stammered, "Was machst du?(What are you doing?)" he asked her. The German girl simply stared at him, "Nothing." She replied looking towards the tent to see the redhead emerging.
Axel looked up at the trio, "Well fuck," he said, "It looks like we do not have to go farther to find her." The Russian stated, waltzing up to them. He grinned with his eyes, "Greeting, I am Axel," he told Xion, "Proud soldier of the Soviet Army." Roxas gave him a look, "Yeah, such a proud and great soldier you are." The redheaded Rusky ignored the blonde's comment, "You must be Xion." He declared. The girl gave him a nod, "You are pursuing my bruder (brother), are you not?" she asked forwardly.
Axel was taken back slightly, but did not seem to miss a beat, "Da (Yes)." he replied. Xion looked him over for a minute, "Hurt him and I kill you."
Namine blinked, "Jesus Christ." She muttered and took out a cigarette, "You people are all fucking crazy." She stated and lit her cigarette and inhaled. The three looked at her, "We all have to be to end up here, da (yes)?" Axel questioned. Namine shrugged, taking another hit of the cigarette. Roxas looked up at the sky, "I suppose we should be heading back to town." He suggested and the others agreed. They packed up the shitty tent and kicked around the coals of the fire, loading back into the car.
Like before Axel drove and Roxas sat shotgun, leaving Namine and Xion to the back seat. The blonde girl yawned, stretching her arms in the air, "So what's Germany like?" she inquired, causing the two siblings to perk up a little. Axel scoffed, "Germany?" he snorted, "Why not Russia?" he demanded. Namine rolled her eyes, "I already know about the Russia you lived in. I took a lot of history in high school and college." She stated. The redhead seemed to slouch in his seat, "Do not be an asshole." He told her.
Xion cleared her throat, "Well, Roxas and I can tell you about Germany then." And the two proceeded to do so. The conversation began eventually drift away from Germany itself to childhood memories of Roxas and Xion. Some of them were hilarious; Namine would have laughed if she could.
After hours of driving, Axel suddenly slammed on the breaks. "Shit!" he exclaimed, swerving the car off to the side of the road. Namine yelped and latched onto Xion while Roxas screamed for dear life in the front seat. The out of control vehicle finally came to a sudden stop, again, leaving the passengers scared for their, well, not-lives.
Xion looked down as she noticed Namine was still holding onto her, "Liebling (love), you can let go now." Namine blinked and stared up at the black haired girl, her brain not fully registering what had been just or what had even happen. "Liebling (love)?" Xion questioned. Namine shook her head and released the German's arm, "Sorry." She muttered. Xion shook her head, "Nein (no), it is alright." Namine sort of nodded before sitting up fully and looking around the car.
"Mein Gott (My God) Axel," Roxas exclaimed, "What the hell did you do that for?" the blonde demanded. Axel frowned as he stared out the windshield, "There is some fucker lying in the road." He stated, pointing to said person. They all stared now for quite some time before exiting the car and wandering over to the person.
Axel nudged the guy lightly with his boot, "You think he is dead?" the redhead asked. "How could he be dead?" Namine wondered, "I mean, we're all technically dead as it is." The others nodded, staring down at the fucker who caused them to almost crash.
Roxas frown, "Sie da (Hey you)!" he shouted, "Wake the fuck up." And proceeded the kick the poor fool twice in the gut. The man groaned and rolled over, looking up at them through squinted eyes, "Oh hey." He yawned, sitting up, running a hand through his Mohawk. Axel glared, "Fucker, why do you think is it wise to sleep in the middle of the fucking road, da (yes)?" The man yawned again and stood up slowly, "I dunno," he replied, "I was just tired from walking all day yesterday and I just went to sleep."
The four sighed as the man proceeded to brush his clothes off, "Name's Demyx." He told them, holding his hand for them to shake. Namine stared at him, "You've got to be fucking kidding me." She muttered, leaning tiredly against the closest person to her, which happened to be Xion. The black haired girl gazed down at the other before looking back at Demyx, "So, what you in for?" she asking, referring to his suicide.
The mohawked blonde looked in good humor, "That's an extremely personal question." He replied. Xion shrugged, "Whatever." She said, waiting for his answer. Demyx looked at the four, "Drowned myself." He told them. Axel raised an eyebrow, "Well shit, you are the first I've met who has done that and I've been in a long fucking time." He stated. Demyx shrugged sheepishly, "Well, y'know.." he muttered. Namine ran a hand through her hair, "So where are you headed?" she question. The blonde look thoughtful for a moment, "Dunno really." He replied.
Xion looked down at Namine and then back to Demyx, "You want to come with us?" she asked him, causing Roxas to choke on his own spit. "Jesus Christ, Xion! I do not have room for him. Sei nicht dumm (Do not be stupid)." He scowled.
The Mohawk man shrugged, "Nah, I am looking for someone." He told them, "Don't worry about it." He said as he began to walk away. Axel sighed, wrapping an arm around Roxas, "My little blonde spitfire." He cooed, nuzzling his face into the other's neck.
Roxas snorted and pushed the Russian away, "Well, let us get going." He announced and walked back over to the car. Axel looked amused as he followed the blonde, flashing a wink at the girls. Xion took Namine's hand, "Let us leave, Liebling (love)." She said, leading her to the car.
Once they had got on the move again, everyone was silent. Namine shifted slightly in her seat, studying Xion. The woman sat slouched in her seat, head lolled back and blue eyes shut as she slept. Her expression was content, or as content as one could be here.
Namine frowned; she looked like Kairi.
Everything about Xion began to remind her of Kairi. The way her lips sat when she slept and their eyes were almost the same color. Namine shut her eyes, memories rushing over her like waves.
"Nami!" called Kairi as she walked into their apartment. The blonde girl smile as she cooked in the kitchen, "In here." She called back, stirring the contents of the soup. The red haired girl walked in the kitchen and kissed her on the cheek, "Mmm, smells good." She whispered into the blonde's ear. Namine giggled, "Thanks." She whispered back as Kairi wrapped an arm around her waist.
Something had smelled off about Kairi that day.
Namine opened her eyes, looking out the window. That day Namine had smelt a hint of men's cologne on Kairi. At the time she did not really think anything of it, but now she knew why her ex-lover smelled like men's cologne.
The blonde looked around the car at her friends; Roxas was sleep in the front seat, Axel was quietly driving, and Xion was fast asleep next to her. Namine sighed softly, shifting in her seat to look more out the window at the bland scenery. This place was truly depressing; no wonder they were sent here. This place was an eternal punishment, Namine decided as she gazed up into the sunless sky.
The only noise heard was from the car as it drove along on the road beneath it. Namine sighed as she felt herself let go of consciousness and fall in the slumbers awaiting arms.
