Author's Notes: Roxas is…an odd helper…? XD hi there kai lun an!!! Cloud cheated on Aerith? O rilly… (snickers again) You all just have to find out!!!
Monochrome
Everything Just Gone Dumb Blonde!!!
Character Profile: Inoue Axel
Annoying, what would Aerith call. Senior, a member of Cetra Mafia, he's the Head of the North of Japan. He seems to know a lot about Aerith's life.
Character Profile: Kisaragi Yuffie
Junior, the youngest member to own a territory of Cetra Mafia, she's the Head of the South of Japan. She also knows a lot about Aerith's life. She likes to cosplay a ninja.
BUMP! At the hallway.
"Watch where you're going!!!" yelled the person she accidentally bumped with. Namine looked up to see another annoying face of Cloud. She looked up at the taller person. I feel awkward…right after what Axel-san and Yuffie-chan said…
"Ah! Strife-san! Have you thought about joining the Wonderful Grays yet?"
The older blonde looked at her coldly. "I'm one of the Original Blacks. Why would I let my title lose and burn my pride?"
Without even thinking, Namine said, "Because Aerith-san is one of the Original Grays."
Oops! Even with a very little detail like that, they both just jumped into conclusions that led a secret out. Two very close-minded blonde people. Cloud looked at her in shock.
"H-how did you know that you annoying little thing?!" he fumed. Annoying little thing?! That seems familiar. Thought Namine.
"That's because I need to take care of ojyou!"
"Stop calling me that, you annoying little thing. I am a year older than you." -.-; they even talk the same.
"I didn't mean to!!!" Argh! one secret and I slipped it up!!! Thought Namine.
"Who told you that?! Was it that wench Nigasa?!" demanded Cloud.
"No no!!! It wasn't Nigasa! Why are you so jumpy about it anyway?!" Namine asked as she leaned on the wall. And in this way, maybe I can make him Gray! Having him would be easier for us to win!
Cloud was glaring at the other blonde intently, and leaned on the wall as well. "You should know by now what I am talking about…"
"No…I don't." The senior sighed in defeat.
"Is she the reason why you can't be a Gray?" Namine asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Duh."
"Well it was clearly your fault because you cheated on her for three days!" she accused. He glared at her.
"What are you blaming me for? She misunderstood me."
"Oi! Speaking of Aerith-san, there she is!" Namine said with glee as she pointed to the brunette nearing the two blondes.
" Hi Aerith-san! Can we be friends now?" Namine waved on front. Cloud looked at her in horror and turned himself to face the window.
"I told you that I am not in the cozy relationship." But she was clearly blushing. And when Aerith saw the other blonde beside Namine, her color drained, and her expressionless face turned into a frown.
"What are you doing with him?" Aerith flatly asked as she pointed to the taller and spikier blonde. "Eh…" with that, Namine ran away. I should keep quiet from now on! She scolded herself.
"There," Sora pointed to a White with short blonde hair and two spikes to the back. "That's Chouno Larxene,"
"She's the leader of Cho, a junior. From now on, she's the enemy we have to focus," said Sora.
Once Namine saw her face, she raised a brow. "She just screams 'typical villain'."
"She has 20 followers, though in my impression, they just have their doubts." Said Sora, looking at the piece of paper. "The ones who are close to Larxene seems to be just after her money. She is after all, rich." Then Namine, saw a Black following her.
"Hey Sora, ain't he different from the others? With the fact he's a Black? And a guy too with abnormally pink hair…" said Namine, pointing to a pink haired Black. He's carrying her bag…is he her maid or something?!
"That guy is Takade Marluxia. It looks like he's the group's maid…for a Black guy, he's actually weak. wait til Nigasa hears this! Then we can have him as a Gray!!!" planned Sora evilly. Namine whacked him on the head. "I pity him…"
For the rest of the day, Namine stalked the group, CHO.
"I know we've been following her just for one day…but she seems worst than Heartless or Kurasukuwa…" said Namine.
"In other words, she's a bitch." Namine added bitterly.
Sora blinked twice. Was that Namine…?
"Erm, anyway, in school, she makes threats without hesitation, she's violent towards people who are minority to her, she never bothers to go to class, but if she was, she's just busy with her cellphone…" continued the brunette.
Namine rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Why does this girl even come to school?! She just does whatever she wants!!!" ranted Namine.
"Just getting evidence will be enough, right? We can convince her followers with this!!!" fumed the blonde.
"Ah…Namine…as much as I appreciate your venting…she's FILTHY RICH!!! We have to get her out of the school!!!" retorted Sora.
"Out of the school? You mean, kick her out? As in, 'j00-are-expelled-and-banned-forevah-in-this-school'? Is that the final motive? Can't we just…change her?" said Namine, not liking the idea.
"Nami, she can never change…and we can't be NAÏVE!" said Sora.
"You really want to go that far, huh," Namine uneasily said.
"For all we know, we can now set the bait, it's dangerous, but if we get Kisaragi and Inoue in…" said Sora.
"Let's not abuse their powers," said a chibi Namine.
And soon, their conversation turned into an argument.
"We don't have time to be choosy for our motivations, so we should be using one that is available for us!" snapped Sora.
"Come up with a better plan." commanded Namine, as a vein popped on Sora.
"If you think it's so easy, why don't you make one?!" complained Sora.
"What the heck are you saying, you're the strategist here! Japan's #1! Am I correct?!"
Brownie glared at blondie. "You're starting to piss me off."
"Weird. You come to school often now." Said Cloud. Her expressionless face remained as her eyes met her shoes.
"The reason doesn't concern you." She quietly retorted. Cloud sighed as he looked at through the window.
"Nami!" Namine turned around to see a happy Kairi. She sat beside her with the bag. "I brought the stuff you asked for!" said Kairi as she revealed a bunch of photo albums.
"What are those?" asked Sora.
"Photographs from first grade!" answered Kairi.
"Ah! This is Kairi and I! I can tell!!!" squealed Namine as she saw the photograph the two of them together. Once Namine saw everything, she can only found one picture that Roxas was in it. It was their class picture. "This is all what Tsukamoto has…"
"You don't remember anything, do you?" asked Kairi.
Namine sighed. "This settles it. I don't really have memories in first grade…" Said Namine hazily. "The name of my teacher, the girl I was best friends with and the class trip…weren't memories at all…they're just the things I hear from other people."
"What did your uncle say?" asked Kairi.
"Whenever I brought the topic, he would immediately get weird. When I insist, he doesn't answer me and tells me to watch TV…" answered Namine as she looked at the young Roxas at the photograph. "What could be Tsukamoto-kun thinking now…in order for me to remember him…my memories with him…" wondered Namine nostalgically.
Sora alarmed. "Why does Tsukamoto bother you so much? It would be better to just leave that cold blooded guy alone." Sora convinced. "Or, you could be in love with him,"
"No, I am not in love with him. I…already like someone…" said Namine defensively.
"Really?! Who is it?!" asked Sora excited and worried.
"Yeah, I like to know it too!" insisted Kairi.
"No way!!! I'm not telling you!!!" said Namine to Sora, and of course, they had a little scuffle… causing Kairi's bag to drop on the floor.
"Oh," Namine picked her things up. And the room went silent once she saw Kairi's things torn apart.
"Ah…Kairi, what's this?" she asked, as she held the ripped book.
"Ano…I wasn't paying attention and…it got ripped," said Kairi, hoping Namine would buy it.
"Oh, so that's what happened? Kairi must be really clumsy I guess…" said Namine with a smile.
"Except, LITTLE CLUMSINESS CAN'T MAKE A BOOK RIP INTO PIECES!!!" She yelled.
"EEEKK!!! I'M SORRY!!!" Kairi yelled back, covering her ears.
"Don't talk to me." But Cloud ignored her.
"You never listened to what I've got to say," said Cloud.
"I don't know what's the point talking to you like this, it's been three years now. Leave me alone." She replied.
She turned around to leave. He looked at the back of her head. "You were the one who misunderstood. I never cheated on you."
Aerith blushed as she turned around to say something.
"Who did this?!"
"…"
"Kairi-chan!!!"
"Eh…ano…ever since I became a Gray…ah, few little things happened and ah…there was a butterfly seal on it…"
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
And the whole drama went on. Thought Sora. Kairi-chin is so cute when she's crying, though, Nami is cute too when her nostrils are flaring! Hehe!
"I'M GONNA BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THAT BITCH RIGHT NOW!!!" cursed Namine as she went stomping to the door. But Sora held her back.
"You know that's not a good idea because that's not the plan! But now! The bait is now unnecessary!" said Sora. "Because Kairi-chin…you are the bait!!!"
Eh…Kairi thought. "WHAT?!" An angry Namine exclaimed.
"Step One: we prepare the fake bag and textbooks for Kairi-chin! Step Two: When they take the bait, Kairi-chin enters…and intentionally says something nasty about Larxene, and runs off away! Step Three: Kairi-chin goes to the bathroom and escapes through the window with the help of Nami. Lastly: They'll probably do start outside, right? So we'll put a speaker on it like someone's crying and screaming in the bathroom. And that way! We recorded the whole thing on video!"
And they did all of that scheme until they got in this final motivation.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"That's dangerous, don't you think? To put Kairi-chan in all of that…" whispered Namine.
"Nami, it's not like you're miserable, right?" said Sora.
"What did you say?!"
The three of them were on the back of the teacher's table, hiding.
"I'll be fine, Nami!" encouraged Kairi.
"But I don't like the sound of bait!" said Namine, and glares at Sora.
"Iie! I can do it, Nami!"
They heard the door creaked. "Someone just came in!" whispered Kairi. Once they saw who came in, it wasn't Larxene at all. Instead, it was a Black.
"That's not Larxene!!!"
"Our plan was pointless…" The Black went over to Kairi's desk and started ripping all of her things—the bait. Cruel!
Namine couldn't handle it any longer, she stood up from behind with pointy teeth and angry eyes. "Who are you?!!!"
Argh!!! Namine… Sora thought. The Black turned around, and there was the nervousness on his face.
"It's Marluxia!!!"
Namine grabbed him by the collar. (A/N: she likes doing that, no?)
"Why are you doing this?!"
"NO! It's not that…Chouno-san ordered me to!" Namine let go of his shirt.
"Chouno-san…enjoys watching the pain of other people when bullied…he makes me do it…she never helps, he just watches and she wants her hands clean…and so then, as a guy, it would be then my fault…" said Marluxia.
"You're afraid of a girl?!" fumed Namine.
"No!!!" defended Marluxia.
"Then why did you do it then?" asked Sora.
"B-because, if I don't, I'll get beaten by her boyfriend!!!" he stuttered.
"But still…the fact that you're still doing it…" Sora then looked at Namine. I don't like this situation at all…I thin Namine's thinking of helping the enemy again…he thought.
"Don't worry, I'll help you!" Namine instantly said, starry-eyed. "We'll get rid of that person for you!" Namine said dedicatedly as Sora fainted animatedly. Then Namine put her hands on Marluxia's shoulders. "But then, you gotta have lots of courage…"
"Don't reveal our plans to an ally of an enemy!!!" reminded Sora.
"We'll help you get through this misery…" said Namine.
"Uh, thank you?" said Marluxia unsurely.
"Nami…" Kairi watched Namine admiringly.
"No…don't fall for Nami's stupid instincts too Kairi-chin!!!" said Sora as he turned to Namine. "Enough! You've said too much!" he yelled.
Blondie glared at brownie now. "Why are you so mad about?"
"Cloud…" Aerith pierced her eyes on his. Cloud felt a pang of hurt. "Cloud…breaking my heart in three days was enough."
"Well guess what Aerith, I didn't. If it wasn't for you going so emo-emo about it and at least hearing me out, we could've lasted." Retorted Cloud.
"Well there's no excuse now because you've damaged the school with Monochrome because of me." Mocked Aerith as she turned her heels and left him for the second time.
"Next time we think of something, we're so going to get that bait thing out!!!" said Namine, popping a kebab on her mouth.
"That idiot Sora! Making poor Kairi-chan as bait like that!!!" Namine said angrily.
"That's not true! Sora took care of me!" Kairi said, making her friend shock.
"Everyone was trying there best to contribute. While I can't even help but be a burden…" said Kairi solemnly.
"But, Sora helped me through that. He gave me a role for the Grays. It is at least what I could help. Sora's nice!"
You know what, if I wasn't splattered with noodles just now, I think Kairi likes Sora… and which I did.
"OMFG! IT'S HAWT!" Namine yelled, stood up hyperventilating, as the soup and noodles splashed on her…
"GO GET SOME WATER!!!" panicky Kairi ordered, to whoever was a Gray…
Once Namine cleaned herself in such a short time, she looked at the White who didn't even apologize. Namine you idiot, it's Chouno Larxene!!!
"Hey you! Aren't you supposed to say something?!" she demanded at the other blonde. Larxene turned around and raised a brow. "What is it bitch? What do you want?"
"She's Takaishi Namine, the Gray leader," whispered one of her allies. Larxene snickered as a vein popped on Namine's head. Annoying face!!!
Larxene approached the Gray Leader and picked her up by the collar. Damn…never expected she would be taller…Namine cursed.
"So…you're that Gray who made Tsukamoto bow," then, Larxene purposely threw her on the wall. She slid down on the floor, resisting the pain. "You thought we'd just stand by and do nothing, did you?" her cocky voice said. "Nami-chan…!" Kairi cried.
Larxene then stomped on her shoulder hard, but Namine wasn't wincing or showing weakness yet. "Revolution? Don't make me laugh! You gotta know there's no way you could pull off such stunt like that!" she laughed and looked down on the other smaller blonde.
"From here then on, if you stand out on me again, there's nothing compared than what'll happen if you did, got that? If you understand, answer me," threatened the Larxene as she put down her foot and walked away from her. She stared at Namine in amusement and with a sinister grin.
"She's too scared that she can't even speak," said one of her allies.
Larxene just grinned. "This is stupid, c'mon." They were about to leave, but only to see Namine get up. The nerve of that bitch!!! Larxene thought.
"It's not that I was scared…it took me a minute to realize that your common sense is far of way down than Einstein…but…" Namine spoke.
"What, you wanna fight with me? My boyfriend is the head of the gang in the north ward, if something happened to me, I could clearly tell you now what will happen to you…" she arrogantly threatened.
Namine however, got really pissed off. And when I said really, REALLY.
"WHO THE HELL CARES?!" she blurted out, throwing the table at the cocky girl, scaring the rest of her gang.
"You are just full of yourself!!! Wanna fight?! BRING IT ON! I'LL BEAT THAT WRETCHED ATTITUDE OF YOU!!!" Namine fumed. And when she did…they started to pull on each other's hair, slapping, name calling, and for Namine, punching…a typical catfight.
And Kairi was just, "…" too shocked to say anything.
At the computer room...
"The students would want us to cut off Chouno's head. If we can get rid of them, we might actually score some points here," said Seifer with a smile, staring at the monitor. "Using the 'how to be popular when talking with women' list, we're getting great responses from the guys," he added, reading an e-mail.
"Yeah but…I was wondering…if Nami can be a complete heartless an important time…" wondered Sora with a worried face and a very awkward smile.
Just then, the door burst open, scaring the hell out of the two as they saw their Gray Leader with bruises, in bandages, untidy, very messy and rice-coated blonde hair, pointy teeth and a very pissed off glare that says 'I'll-eat-j00-RAWR' face. "THAT GIRL IS GETTING IN MY NERVES!!!" she yelled while panting.
"THAT WOMAN!!! HER FUCKIN' ASS IS SOOO OUTTA HERE!!!" Namine fumed.
Their jaws dropped open, so as their eyes popped out of their sockets. "Come again?" asked a very surprised Sora.
I like Namine in this chapter... okay, if anyone's doodled what the heck 'Monochrome' is, the one Aerith just said...you'll find that out in the next chapter. Hope you liked this.
