A/n: Lately my mind has been dancing about on four different things that should happen in this chapter. I couldn't make up my mind so I decided to throw them all in. After getting a few reviews I decided to jump into action and work on more right away! I've started this fic a long time ago and saved it to a disc before my laptop crashed on me. I just started working on it again and the ideas are firing off everywhere. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Sparks Fly
After my little ordeal with Axel I had fallen fast asleep, tossing and turning throughout the night until I was awoken by a bubbly chuckle. As I opened my eyes a pair of ocean blue orbs gazed back towards me. I slowly began shifting my body away from the intruder, however I was quickly grasped and pulled against the other's frame. Moist lips quickly press against my cheek before inching towards my own. By then I had noticed who the intruder was, being none other than the Melodious Nocturne. There was no way for me to escape such a tight grasp. The childish nocturne was determined to steal a kiss from me, puckering up his lips almost looking like a fish out of water. I leaned back quickly, away from the incoming kiss. My head began buzzing loudly as a large bolt of lighting stuck down on both me and the nocturne, sending him flying across the room.
"What the hell are you doing in my bed!?" I shouted loudly at him, pointing a finger sending another large bolt of lightning to the nocturne. A loud yelp would pass through his lips as his body began convulsing about on the floor. The buzzing grew louder in my head although at this moment I had enjoyed it. This power of mine was given to me for some sort of destructive use. I continued sending bolts of lightning towards the other, laughing sadistically until he phased out of my room. Once he left I let out a soft giggle, standing up and heading off towards the small bathroom placed in my room.
I took a quick shower, giggling the whole time from the exhilarating feeling of power that came over me. Finally I was able to direct my lightning attack instead of striking down at random. I'm even able to phase to anywhere I want to go. This was all turning out to be the perfect day for me. I stepped out of the shower, with matted down locks of blonde hair, leaving it there, too lazy to slick my own hair back. With my eyes glued against the mirror I slipped a towel around my form, gazing at my face. Beads of water rolled down my cheeks as I admired the way my hair looked when down against my pale features.
I wonder if Axel would lik—My right hand quickly struck across my cheek roughly at the though. "Jeez! That jerk isn't worth your time! Besides… you can't feel anything." I sighed softly, talking to myself. I quickly got dressed, moving into my cloak quickly. While standing in the middle of my room, I gently placed my leather gloves over my slender fingers. Just then a dark mist appeared in front of me. Thin ribbons of dark mist danced about before fading away, revealing my new visitor.
Axel stood there before me with his arms crossed over his chest, peering down upon me with a saddened emerald gaze. His lips would part quickly trying to push words out, but all I heard were a few small cracks coming from the back of his throat. Tanned cheeks began growing an even darker shade as he continued to choke on his words, rubbing the back of his head nervously. "I'm… terribly sorry about the other day. Really, I mean you're the only girl here. I knew I should have knocked or something." He spoke softly before biting down roughly against his lower lip.
I instantly flushed a deep crimson color, lighting up my pale face as I quickly nodded, not knowing if I myself could reply with words. My hand quickly brushed the wet blonde locks behind my ears while we kept out eyes locked on another. Like two teens with a high school crush we stood there blushing intensely. Suddenly the look on Axel's face became serious as he stepped closer to me. His right-gloved hand hesitantly lifted up, moving towards my corresponding cheek. The warm feeling of his touch would only make me blush even deeper, leaning into it as he leaned downward, bring his face closer to mine. His eyes quickly darted back and forth between my electric blue orbs and my small lips, licking his own lips hungrily. At this moment I could feel his heated breaths hitting my lips now only a few inches away. "A-Axel…" I stuttered his name softly, only causing him to snap back into reality from the sound of my voice.
Without any warning my body was roughly pushed back, bumping up against my vanity chair. A soft chuckle could be heard from the other. His expression back to his normal cocky smirk. "I heard you attacked Demyx this morning. He ran into my room in tears." He smirked, crossing his arms over his chest, staring back at me as I shot him a fearful glare.
Still blushing deeply, I slammed my left hand against the vanity table while an electrical current rolled down my arm. "He crept into my room and got in bed with me! And on top of that he tried to kiss me again! I had every right to… it was unwanted affection." I growled at him, quickly moving my hand over my crimson face.
I want your affection, not his…Once that thought hit my mind I quickly turned away from him. "If that's all you came here to say then you can go on and get the hell outta of my room." I whined, moving my hand quickly over my mouth. That was a childish move. Whining because I didn't mean what I said. I wanted him to stay, I wanted him close, and I wanted his touch.
As I stood there panting and looking down at the small crack I had made on the table, I felt a gentle brushing against my hair, tugging it gently. I could feel the heat radiating from his face as he leaned down over my shoulder. "I like… your hair like this. It's cute…" He whispered softly into my ear with heated breaths before quickly fading away.
A shiver danced its way up my spine as I groaned softly. He enjoyed making me squirm like this. Teasing me then leaving me with the lingering thought, playing over and over again in my head. "Jerk…" I muttered, running my finger along the jagged lines of the damaged table, and using my free hand to slick my wet hair back. Standing there glancing over the table constantly, I soon laid eyes on a magenta colored rose, laced with a small electric blue ribbon. Picking it up, I examined the flower closely. Suddenly I picked up the scent of the Graceful Assassin. "Must be from, Marluxia… " I sighed softly, taking another good whiff of the rose, enjoying its fragrance.
I placed the rose down over the crack in the table. Letting a few curious thoughts drift about my mind as of why I received this gift. My eyes slowly shift towards the door, making my way over to it then grabbing the knob. I quickly jumped out of my room, pressing my back against the door and leaving all that happened in there behind me. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath getting ready for what the day will hold for me. Knowing how things have been going so far, something bizarre could happen at any moment. I pushed myself up and away from my door only to crash into another cloaked member, a bit shorter than I. Books flew up in the air, crashing down on us both. I groaned softly before catching a glimpse of the other's face. Slate colored short hair, covering one eye while the other showing the same slate color gazed back at me. We sat there for a few minutes staring blankly at another with a mountain of books scattered on top of us.
"I'm sorry… I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing." I quickly apologized, grabbing a few books; eyes widening on sight of how many books the other had with him.
"You must be, No. XII. Larxene… Our first female." He spoke in a low voice, grabbing a few books himself. "I'm No. VI the Cloaked Schemer, Zexion." The tone in his voice didn't seem to change at all as he slowly moved to his feet. He jumped a bit, adjusting the books, now covering half of his face only showing his eyes over the tall stack of books. "Can you walk with me to the library? I need a bit of assistance. "
It was the least I could do, being that this whole mess was my fault for not paying attention. I gave him a slow nod, taking a few of his books to reveal his face. He walked on ahead of me, keeping silent through out the entire walk. Even I stayed silent, following shortly behind No. VI, too busy taking in every bit of the castle I haven't seen. Still it was all boring, every last thing colored white. This place really did need a woman's touch. After trailing down several flights of stairs I groaned softly, yet not loud enough for him to hear me. Really did we need to walk? He could have easily opened up a portal taking him right to the library.
A soft chuckle is heard from the short male as he glanced back towards me. "I hope you're taking everything you see in. I was told to show you around. I just thought I'd drop my books off while doing so…" He said faintly, turning his head away.
I blinked a few times, glancing around even more, trying my best to memorize everything. He made a sharp turn into a dim room setting the books down on the table. Another member sat on a deep navy blue sofa holding a comic book firmly in his hands. He seemed horrifically built. Even his cheeks seemed muscular. "Larxene, this is No. V the Silent Hero, Lexaeus and Lexaeus, this is our No. XII the Savage Nymph, Larxene" Lexaeus gave a small not before glancing back towards his comic seeming more interested in cartoons then me. I merely rolled my eyes to the side, replying with a nod of my own. Zexion walked over to me taking the books from my grasp, setting them down on the table. "Just make yourself at home… I'm sure once you settle in you'll be receiving a few missions."
While Zexion went on, I walked around the library, not listening to a single word he was saying. Every book neatly tucked away in alphabetical order. I wondered if all the books would only hold things about the Organization, however I was wrong. Just like any old Library there were all sorts of books. Action, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Horror… I froze running my finger across the book, letting my finger run over the engraved text along the side. "Marquis de Sade…" I whispered softly as Zexion went on about other places in the Castle. I don't think he had realized I wasn't paying attention to him. There was something about this book that captivated me. As I looked over the book I decided to read over the summery. "Torture… murder… rape…"I quickly put the book back, rolling my eyes off to the side, making sure no one saw. Zexion had shot me a glare just realizing I wasn't paying much attention to him at all. He turned away from me, waving a hand as if to say 'It's your problem now.'
Heaving a heavy sigh, I glanced back over to the book, moving further away from the book. As I backed up I bumped into yet another member. A loud crash is heard, glass shattering all over the floor. When I turned around jade green eyes burned into my skull, almost bulging out of their sockets. "Watch where you are going, you imbecile!" The other shouted loudly at me. Long light sand colored hair draped over the other's shoulders. He looked much older than the others did and along with the old look came the old fart attitude. " Who let this ill-mannered girl in here? " He growled loudly, grabbing hold of my right arm, jerking me towards him.
His grip on my arm was freezing cold. I could even feel the stinging chill through my cloak. This guy really had an attitude problem and I wasn't going to let him get away with it. Sparks of lightning flickered within my electric blue orbs as I hissed loudly at the older man. "It was an accident, damn it! And look at yourself! This is now how you treat a lady!" I hissed even louder, tugging my arm free from his chilling grasp. "Don't ever put your hands on me again or I'll strike you down" I yelled loudly trying my best to seem intimidating, although this didn't work. His right hand was now held up over my head ready to strike me. The buzzing quickly came back to me even louder than before.
Before either of us could strike another Axel had appeared in front of me, taking the slap across his face. I winced at the sound as it echoed about the library. The room fell dead silent as Axel's head slowly turned back towards the old man with a smirk over his lips. "Vexen! Demyx can slap much harder than that!" He chucked softly while brushing his fingertips against the reddened handprint on his cheek. Axel shifted his hips, placing all his weight on one side of his body as he licked his lips slowly. Vexen let out an awkward chuckle prior to glaring at Axel. The pyro would only lean closer to Vexen with a glare that was even more intimidating. "Let's just put it simple. She's another member of this Organization. No. XII the Savage Nymph, Larxene… L-A-R-X-E-N-E got it memorized? If you so much as lay a finger on her… I'll have to kill you. It was an accident, no need to get your little senior diapers all in a bunch." Axel teased before taking my hand, tugging me lightly as he moved towards the door.
Vexen rolled his eyes, letting out a small groan. "If she gets in the way of my experiments I'll have no choice but to terminate her." He grunted softly, kneeling down to pick up the broken pieces of glass. "I am working on my new prototype. I hardly doubt you could get permission to carry out such blasphemous act when I'm needed for my intelligence. "
Axel smirked, enjoying their little argument. "She's way more useful than you are. Your puppets always fall apart anyway. We could always replace you… " He snickered as he tugged me closer to his form then stepping back into a portal behind him. My hands grip down lightly against his cloak, pressing my form into his to feel his warmth. It was exactly what I wanted, a moment just like this with his warm body against my own. He gave me a light pat before my hand was grabbed. My form quickly slipped away from him into the grasp of another as we slipped out of the portal into a long white hall.
"Hiiiiiiii, Larxy-kins!" said that oh so familiar bubbly voice. As I glanced up slowly thin moist lips would press up against my nose.
The Nocturne…I sighed softly, pushing away from him only to be tugged even closer. "I know you're sorry for hurting me this morning! Don't worry about it, sweetie! I've been shocked several times before when I stuck a fork in a sparking outlet thingy!" He squealed softly, planting several kisses all over my face. Hearing a soft groan, I glanced over to see Axel walking off ahead of us. He seemed upset… no more like jealous. "Axeeeeeeel!! Wait for us!" Demyx shouted towards the pyro as he took my hand dragging me down the hall with him.
Axel glanced back towards us, lifting up his right hand to cease our motion. He would wiggle his index finger side to side before a mist of darkness came over his body. "I have a mission to deal with. Demyx you take care of her until I get back." He spoke softly with a slight smirk over his lips. This smirk was his way of teasing me. Though speaking to Demyx his eyes were directly on me. He gave a small nod towards me. "See you later…." The pyro would chuckle softly before fading away.
"Uh, Axel, don't go…" I called out to him, reaching my free hand towards the fading darkness. How foolish of me to do such an act in front of No. IX. Shifting my eyes over slowly I spotted Demyx giving me a serious look. "Um… Excuse me… Demyx can you let go of my hand." I said nervously, blushing lightly from the serious look.
The nocturne would snicker, tugging me closer to his form then dipping me down quickly. "You like him don't you?" He asked, grinning with enjoyment as he toyed me as well. Blushing instantly I turned my head giving the childish nobody no reply. His gloved hand moved up towards my cheek slowly, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb. "Yer all red now. I guess you do. Sucks for you that I'm your boyfriend an all." His grin grew even wider, letting out a small giggle. With one hand holding the small of my back and the other placed to my cheek, the nocturne moved in closer.
Easily figuring that he was going in to steal yet another kiss from me I quickly acted. "I don't think Sue would like me anymore if I stole you form her. Rubber duckies are hard to come by these days." I giggled nervously as a buzzing sound buzzed lightly in my head, causing my antenna to lift up slowly. He froze quickly, dropping me to the ground instantly. I landed right on my behind, squeaking loudly. "Ow! Jeez you didn't have to drop me." Groaning I glanced up towards him only to see his eyes full of tears.
"I'M A HORRIBLE BOYFRIEND!" He yelled loudly before taking off down the hall, gripping his hands to his blonde locks of hair. "SUE I'M SO SO SORRY!" The nocturne continued to scream until completely out of my sight.
I guess a rubber duck is more important. At least it got him away for now.
There I was standing alone in the hall, staring off blankly in the direction the nocturne ran off in. The thought of Axel constantly danced about within my mind. I found it odd for having this feeling of attraction towards him. Knowing if I had a heart it would be racing now just from the thought of him being so close. A soft grumbling is suddenly heard as I moved my left hand over my stomach. "I guess I'll go grab a bite to eat… Now the kitchen…" I heaved yet another sigh, focusing my mind on the kitchen door. The white swinging doors and the delicious scent escaping them. My form quickly faded away into darkness. It seemed I had really picked up on the whole teleporting thing, however I was wrong. I had appeared over the kitchen table in a horizontal position, gazing down at the table with cards neatly placed in rows. "Oh no. " I managed to mumble out before my body collapsed onto the table, sending the cards flying across the room.
As I glanced out, my eyes met up with yet another sapphire blue gaze staring back at me. "You must be our new member, am I correct?" The male spoke with a very noticeable accent. It was… charming and different. I blushed in embarrassment, nodding quickly towards him. The male would lean back in his seat, wiggling his gloved fingers about. The scattered cards quickly faded away reappearing in his grasp before slipping up the sleeve of his cloak. "Don't worry about it, my friend. No harm done." He spoke kindly towards me as he brushed his fingers though fairly short blonde hair. This is the first time I've seen an Organization member with facial hair although it wasn't the first time seeing an attractive one. I shook my head quickly, groaning and pouting softly at this.
This is going to be hell.
"I'm still very sorry. I didn't know this was going to happen." I replied, sliding off of the table and dusting myself off. "Oh by the way, I'm No. XII the Savage Nymph, Larxene." I bowed towards the other male showing some manners for once. It really wasn't my style at all.
"I know… " He said briefly, shuffling a deck of cards in his hands. His movements pause quickly as he glances over his deck. "Missing one… " He mumbled softly before glancing towards me, plucking up a card from the collar of my cloak. "Queen of hearts… Just as I suspected." The male would chuckle softly, slipping the card back into the deck. "No. X Gambler of Fate, Luxord." He stated pointing a finger towards the refrigerator. "I assume you came in here to get yourself something to eat. Go on ahead, I won't bother you." The male then went silent going back to his game, which seemed to be a game of solitaire.
Nodding slowly I moved towards the fridge, grabbing a few items for a normal breakfast, eggs, bacon, and a few slices of bread. Setting them down on the white counter top. I looked around for a few pots, setting them on the stovetop. "There… " It just came so naturally to me, coming to this new world still with the knowledge from my former life. Cooking seemed to go by quickly at that moment, however I could feel breathing down my neck. As I glanced over my shoulder I spotted Demyx, Luxord, and Lexaeus gazing down at my cooking. Just then Zexion wandered into the kitchen, taking in the delicious scent of my cooking. "I suppose… you all want something too?" I groaned softly heading towards the fridge to get more ingredients for a much larger breakfast.
I guess this place really does need a woman's touch.
After making the others breakfast, I took a plate for the Graceful Assassin and myself assuming that wherever he is he might be hungry. Feeding Vexen was the least of my worries. I cringed just thinking about the old jerk. Sighing softly I focused my thoughts on Marluxia and quickly phased out of the kitchen. The scent of fresh flowers quickly filled my nose as I reappeared in an extremely large garden. Gasping softly I glanced around, gazing over the rainbow of exotic flowers. One set of flowers stood out to me the most. That small cluster of spider lilies looking absolutely exuberant among all of the other flowers. I felt so drawn to them as if in another life these flowers must have meant something to me. Sadly all knowledge of my past had faded and whoever I was before is now gone forever. Holding the two plates in hand I wandered around the garden in search of the Graceful Assassin. I finally spotted him far off with his hair pulled back standing by a rose bush, while running his fingertips along the petals gently. The roses were a very peculiar color. The color was the same as my own electric blue eyes. I approached him slowly, with my eyes glued to this interesting creation of his. "Marluxia, I made breakfast for everyone and I figured you'd be hungry as well." I spoke softly making sure I didn't startle him with my sudden appearance.
Marluxia quickly snapped into attention, shifting that gorgeous blue gaze towards me with a welcoming smile. "Oh? That was very sweet of you, Larxene. I was just about to head down to the kitchen for a bite to eat." He smirked moving towards me, placing his right hand to the small of my back leading me towards a small bench. I quickly sat down waiting for him to sit next to me before giving him his plate of food. He glanced over towards the electric blue roses while taking a bite of my cooking. "This is very delicious, Larxene. You are quite the cook." He praised me, giving me a small nudge with his elbow. I instantly blushed, letting out a small laugh as I nodded towards him, keeping silent while I ate. His gaze would soon fall on me, shifting back into his seat. "I've been working on a new type of flower. I picked the color of your eyes because they're very gorgeous. I've never seen anything like them." The male would continue to flirt with me. Even though roses were not my favorite flowers I couldn't bring myself to tell him. I smiled weakly towards him keeping a blush from forming over my cheeks. He slowly turned away from me now keeping silent as he finished his breakfast.
Damn… I wish Axel were here.
End of Chapter Three
I guess I went a little random on this chapter. I have horrible ADHD and it's hard for me to focus when I have the thought of what's going to happen next and the ending in my head at the same time. Oh yeah and I think Luxord is very attractive. I don't really find many other people that do, but he's really cool to me. Also I have nothing against Vexen… he just looks so funny.
Review Please!
