"You think they know we're the ones in charge?" Naminé asked, looking out the window to the news crews standing out front of the mall.
"I hope not," Kairi said.
"But at the same time, I hope they do." Xion added.
"Why?" Naminé asked.
"Because," Xion started. "If they know it's us then they will just approach us and ask questions. We know what we want them to hear. If they don't know it's us then we have to worry about the others telling them everything."
"If the news finds everything out then the mall security will find out." Naminé said thoughtfully.
"Damn," Terra mumbled. "I bet they're already on high alert."
"The news thinks this is gang activity. They were misinformed." Aqua frowned.
"Gang activity?" Naminé asked worriedly.
"Vanitas told them it was all just a game. That's when the camera man and that one reporter tried to follow us to where you all were." Terra informed.
"I see, thanks for stalling them so we could all get away." Kairi said.
"No problem." Terra smiled.
"We should go." Xion said with a nod. The others agreed and everyone got out of Terra's car.
Terra and Aqua worked somewhat as guards to the triplets. They approached the main entrance to the mall and were immediately rushed by the camera crews there.
"Excuse me, but are you aware of the gang activity that is said to be happening here today?" asked a male news reporter.
"It's not gang activity!" Kairi exclaimed.
"It's a game we're trying to play with our friends!" Naminé told them.
"Like five year olds at a park." Sora said from behind.
"Sir, sir!" called a news reporter, rushing towards Sora and his brothers. Sora yelled and ran behind Vanitas. The oldest of the four stepped forward and stared down the reporter.
"Excuse me are any of you involved in the gang activity to take place?"
"You guys are SO IGNORANT!" Vanitas exploded. "It is LITERALLY JUST A GAME! A child's game! Not gang activity! You know when you were five and all you had was hide and seek and tag? THAT'S ALL WE'RE FREAKING DOING!"
"Are you saying you treat gangs as a game?" The reporter asked.
Vanitas visibly twitched. The camera man walked closer to the teen to capture his answer.
"I'm gonna kill you! I'll turn this into a real gang and I'll kill you dead! You're all so stupid!" Vanitas screamed. Ventus held him by his arm and tried to pull him back.
"Vanitas no! You weren't suppose to say that!" Ventus struggled out.
Aqua hurried over to help hold back Vanitas as he continued his shouting and now swearing.
"Sora!" Riku called from down an isle of parking.
"Riku!" Sora ran over to his friend and nodded a greeting to all the others who he had given a ride to.
"What do we do?" Riku asked the brown haired boy.
"I'm not sure but Vanitas is getting super mad!" Sora said, turning to look at his older brother.
"We should go find Kairi." Riku stated.
"She's over there." Sora said, pointing to where Terra was trying to guard the girls.
"Alright. Hey, everyone!" Riku said to the group who was with him. "We're gonna go over there to where the three girls are. They're the ones who worked hard for us to have our game. If we don't hurry the mall will go on lock down. Do everything, except break cameras and hit people, to get those news reporters out of here!"
"Wait, wait! Don't tell them what we're doing either!" Sora added quickly.
"Right, if you guys have to say something, say…" Riku racked his brain for something.
"I got it!" Sora exclaimed. "Tell them we're protesting animal cruelty towards the animals they sell here!"
"Genius, Sora!" Riku smiled. "Alright that's what you tell them! Now go!"
Everyone ran over to where Kairi, Naminé, Xion and Terra were standing and tried to push off the news reporters.
"Sora, go tell your brother and see if you can calm him down!" Riku told his friend. Sora nodded and ran over to his brother.
Aqua was still holding him back while trying to tell the reporter that it all really was just a game and there was no harm to come, unless they kept saying it was gang activity. Then Vanitas might cause some trouble.
"Hey guys!" Sora said, bouncing in front of the camera excitedly. He was honestly scarred to death about what might happen but kept it under wraps.
"Ready to protest against animal cruelty?" He asked with a large smile.
"Animal cruelty?" The reporter asked.
"What?" Vanitas stopped his struggling completely and looked to his younger brother.
"Yeah, yeah!" Sora said, bouncing in place.
"Okay, okay fine!" Aqua said, her voice sounding like she had just given up with telling a five year old "no." She held her arms up in surrender. "We didn't want anyone to know about us trying to stand up for the cruelty against animals that they do here to the pets they sell us. Okay, now you know what's up. So leave."
"Animal rights movement?" The camera man said, looking the reporter.
"Not what the news wants." The reporter said, thinking. "Screw it, let's just find something else. Tell the station the truth. They wont want a story on this."
The two news people left without another word.
"If that's all it took." Aqua said, frustration evident in her voice. "Great job Sora. Where'd that come from?"
"Riku and some of the other people showed up and we told them to go help Kairi and her sisters and I told them not to say anything about the game and Riku said to say something else and I just came up with the animal thing on a whim."
"It's quiet over there." Ventus said suddenly.
Everyone looked over to where the huge group of people were and noticed Riku was saying something.
"Let's go!" Sora exclaimed. They all ran over to find that Riku had been telling the reporters just what Sora had told the last one.
Apparently animal rights movements wasn't what any of the stations were looking for. In a matter of seconds the news crews were completely gone.
"Well then," Riku said with a sigh.
"Are we still gonna do this?" some guy in the group asked.
"Of course!" Kairi smiled.
"You sure?" Xion asked.
"A lot of people showed up for this. We're gonna have to let them have their fun." Kairi said.
After a while of waiting and everyone showing up, the seekers started their roll call. Everyone was once again present and there were no extra people accounted for. Since no guards showed up and no one was seen running out of the mall in any sort of panic, the group assumed that the reports hadn't made themselves known earlier in the day.
"Alright everyone, one more thing then we can get this show started!" Kairi yelled.
Everyone cheered and hollered. Some jumped up and down, some high-fived.
"Okay now, listen up!" Olette yelled over them all. Everyone grew quiet again. "Remember to follow the rules and have fun! You all get five minutes to find your spots! AND REMEMBER, NO RUNNING!"
"Ready, set, GO!" Sora yelled. The whole group speed walked into the mall and the seekers stayed outside to wait for the five minutes to pass.
"Your father doesn't approve of this correct?" Zexion asked Lexaeus. The taller male nodded.
"Why are you doing it then?"
"I can't make him proud all the time. He's here."
"Your father?" Lexaeus nodded.
"What about your brother?" The orange haired teen then asked.
"He's with Lea and Isa. I have enough trust in them now that they can watch over him."
In the mall the players were busy figuring out where to hide. Terra and Aqua decided to stick with Ventus and Vanitas. Of course they would split up at times to try and make it a little harder to find them but for the most part they were always together.
"Let's hide in Sears!" Ventus smiled. The other three nodded. Since Sears was such a large portion of the mall they decided it was the best place to hide. They were looking around and walking quickly to the other half of the mall before a voice stopped them.
"Terra, Aqua? Ventus, Vanitas? What're you all doing here?" The four turned around to see an older looking man with black and gray hair. He had a few scars on the side of his face from his childhood.
"Hey, dad." Terra with a small smile.
"Hello, Eraquas." Aqua greeted with a smile. Ventus gave a small smile while Vanitas gave a half wave. It looked more like him flinging his arm towards the man but Eraquas knew what it meant.
"How's your arm been Vanitas." Eraquas asked the black haired teen.
"Eh, I'm getting around with it." He answered.
"We have to go now, we're playing a game with some of our friends." Aqua said, slightly turning away from the older man.
"A game?" Eraquas asked. "I thought you were to old for games Terra."
"Dad, I was mad when I said that." Terra frowned.
"I know, I know, well have fun and be carefully."
"Yes,"
Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Vanitas continued to Sears and went into the electronics section. They crept around in the isles pretending to look at the different things. Vanitas and Terra kept look out for the most part.
~X~
Lea, Isa and Ienzo went into the sports store that the mall had. They figured that if they had to hide somewhere it may as well be a store where they could enjoy themselves. They went over to the struggle isle and looked at the stuff there, occasionally looking over their shoulders to see if anyone was coming.
Ienzo wondered off to look at the struggle gear that would fit him. He went to go around a corner and noticed Zexion and Lexaeus. He knew his older brother was a seeker and he could see the red bandana hanging out from his side pocket. Ienzo quickly ran over to Lea and Isa and pulled on Isa's shirt.
"What's the matter?" He asked. Ienzo pointed to is brother and Isa grabbed Lea's hand.
"Hey!" Lea said as he was jerked around a corner. "What gives?"
"Shut up." Isa shushed him. He peered around the corner and saw Zexion turn to look in the direction they had run. Isa quickly ducked behind the isle shelf and waited.
"See anyone?" Zexion asked his friend.
Ienzo peered around the corner carefully and watched as his older brother and Lexaeus headed another way. Lea was on his hands and knees so he could see too without having to lean over Isa and Ienzo. He couldn't see anyone with a red bandana.
"May I help you?" asked a voice from behind. All three jumped and turned quickly. Ezekiel and Shiya held back a laugh at the expression on everyone's faces.
"Oh, man that was great huh?" Ezekiel asked Shiya. The white haired teen smiled and nodded.
"Shh!" Lea hushed, putting a finger to his mouth. He leaned out and peered around the corner again.
"I don't see anyone." He whispered to Isa. Isa was looking around the other corner.
"I think they left." He said quietly.
"Who was it anyways?" Lea asked.
"Zexion, Ienzo's older brother, and Lexaeus." Isa informed.
"Lexaeus? That really tall guy that's always with him?" Lea asked.
"Yeah, I guess he's helping him look for people."
"Is that even fair?"
"Who cares, let's get out of here." Ezekiel said. He stood straight and turned to look around him for anyone with a red bandana.
"Right," Lea said with a smile. "You got anywhere special to hide?"
"Yeah, follow us." Ezekiel said. He led the way out of the store and casually walked over to the escalator.
"This is probably safer than the elevator." He said, stepping onto the moving stairs.
"Right. Keep an eye out for Zexion. He's probably near by." Isa stated.
"What's he look like anyways?" Ezekiel asked.
"See Ienzo?" Lea said, pointing to the young boy.
"Yeah?"
"Exactly like that."
"Exactly?" Shiya asked.
"Exactly."
"Their appearance doesn't differ much." Isa informed.
They all got off the escalator and headed over to the play area. There was a giant merry-go-round that was half way to the ceiling of the three level mall. Since the play area was in the middle of the mall the merry-go-round had plenty of room all around it. Behind it there was a somewhat large ledge for people to sit on while their kid was on the ride.
"I know it's in the open but it's a really great spot if you think about it." Ezekiel said. He sat down and Shiya sat next to him.
The ledge was large and jutted out from the wall. It was made to where they could scoot back and sit with their backs against the wall, feet stretched out completely, and still not be seen by anyone. Unless that someone looked directly down when coming down the nearby walkway.
"Not bad." Lea said, scooting to lean against the wall.
"Hopefully it'll be a while before anyone finds us." Ezekiel said, looking to Shiya on his right.
"This is exciting!" He said with a large grin. The white haired teen smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Not knowing when someone's gonna find you?" Lea asked. "Heck yeah, man!"
~X~
"We only have like ten or eleven more people to find." Xion said as she and the other seekers met up for a quick sharing of information.
"Any more bandanas?" Kairi asked. Zexion and Naminé handed her a couple bandanas they had gathered from the players they had found. She placed them in the purple bag she had on the side of her pink dress and looked at her phone containing the list of people still needing to be found. The others did the same.
"I already found ten people." Olette said.
"Same," Zexion stated.
The list they were using also had a section of the seekers who had to find ten people. After a seeker found ten people, they were able to check their name off the list. This made it easier to tell who could help with finding more people and who couldn't.
"Alright, Zexion, Lexaeus, you guys try looking for Ienzo, Lea and Isa. I know they're bound to be together." Kairi instructed.
"I'll help Xion and look for those Shiya and Ezekiel guys." Olette said.
"Okay, good." Kairi nodded, putting her phone away. "Naminé, you and I should work together anyway and find people."
Naminé nodded and everyone decided on the directions they would take.
"Alright," Naminé smiled. "Let's go!"
