Roxas lunges at you but then stops, frozen stiff. his pupils grow and his eyes seem to fade. he doesn't look like he was himself, he looks like he wasn't mentally there. he looks up at you with his glazed eyes, you feel scared, you don't know what's happening, you look at Axel, who is staring at Roxas also wondering what was wrong. suddenly, Roxas yells "shut up!" you look at him, confused "what?", he jumps at you, you duck but he still hits you hard with a keyblade, sending you flying a few feet. "Roxas!" Axel yells, he tries to jump into the arena, but is stopped by a barrier.
"what the-" he murmurs to himself, "RUN LILLUX" you hear Demyx yell. you jump up despite the pain in your back where Roxas had hit you. you try to run away from him, but he runs so fast he practically telaports in front of you, he starts swinging at you. you only dodge a few swings and in just a few seconds you are in extreme pain. you cry out, but he still keeps hitting you, finally he stops, backing up... but then lunges again, you try to backup but don't get far enough, he hits you in the upper chest and you go flying in the air. your back hits a wall and as that happens you feel pain in your left arm. you wince as you fall several feet to the ground landing on your stomach, in the process, your hood finally falls down so they could see what you look like.
the air gets knocked out of you, you let out a squeaky noise with what little breath you had left. you can't move, you can hardly breath. you hear Axel yell "yurix!" your head is sideways and you see the barrier drop. you try to see what Roxas is doing, you can barely lift your head to see he's on the ground a few feet away. hes unconscious, you see Axel running at something, or, someone. you see that it's Yurix... grinning at you. he disappears in a cloud of black smoke, just as one of Axel's flaming chakrams goes slicing through it.
Demyx comes running over to you. he turns you over, while looking at you, frowning, "it's ok, he says trying to comfort you, you wince as he picks you up bridal style. while he's walking out of the fighting arena you see Axel going back for Roxas and picking him up, then you pass out.
(Roxas' POV)
I was going to have an easy fight with Lillux, just to see what she could do. when i went to attack her something stopped me, everything started spinning, finally it stopped, but Lillux, was laughing at me, and she started saying things to me like heartless, and you really are just a nobody. suddenly i felt enraged, I couldn't control myself. i attacked her continuously even though I didn't know why, or what was making me do it...i think i passed out after that...I woke up to find myself in my bed, Axel was sitting in a chair next to me reading, he looked at me, saying "finally awake, huh?" I looked over at him and asked what had happened "weeelll..." he started..."you beat the crap out if Lillux for one" he said sarcastically. "OH, LILLUX!" I said in a loud concerned voice while sitting up in bed. "Calm down" Axel said.. "she's sleeping in her room" "how is she..." I asked "well mostly fine, just a few cuts and bruises, the worst thing was that her arm dislocated, but thats fixed, and now she's fine, she just needs some rest." I frowned at him. " don't worry about it , it wasn't your fault" he said in a reassuring tone."what do you mean?" I asked. "yurix was the one that made you flip out, thats what one of his powers are, illusions, barriers, confusion, mind tricks, ect" he stated i was mad at yurix for doing this to Lillux and me, and for no reason... i wanted to go check up on Lillux...I felt bad for what I did, even though.. I'm supposedly don't have feelings
(Your POV)
You wake up to find yourself in your bed, your arm hurt, but then again, so did the rest of you. you noticed you were in your regular clothing and your arm was covered in ice. Demyx walks in, you didn't mind if he saw you without your hood on. but you liked to wear it, people always told you you were pretty, but you never really believed them for some reason. it was kinda like your shield.--Demyx, seeing that you were awake said, "oh your finally up, I brought you some food and water". you fake a weak smile and try to thank him, but it wouldn't come out, you could only whisper. your throat was really hoarse...after clearing your throat, you finally speak. "what happened?" Demyx tells you about Yurix and what he had done.
he also tells you that you and Roxas were both out for 2 days and he had just woken up a little while ago. otherwise nothing was really going on. he asks if you want anything. you nod, "will you play your sitar for me?" he pauses, then smiles and says "sure!" he calls it out and starts gently playing, it was so relaxing, you close you eyes and sigh. after a couple minutes he finishes, you thank him for playing and tell him he plays beautifly... he has to go do some things, so he leaves. you quickly eat the food he had brought and relax for a bit.
There was a knock at your door. you look up to see Roxas come in. You hide your head under the covers, not wanting him to see you. Still wanting to seem mysterious, and (stupidly)-cool-... He walks over to the side of your bed and stops, turning towards you. "Lillux," he says, you hesitate, but then say "what?" in a goofy muffled voice. "are you mad at me?" he asks in a sad tone. "no" you simply state. "why won't you look at me?..." he asks. you pull the covers to just below your nose and say "cause..." He stares at you in awe.
after what seemed to be an eternity, you say" I know, i know, im ugly" while pulling the covers back up. he gets an angry look on his face, and pulls the covers down, while stating, "NO your not, your beautiful!!..."his eyes widening at what he had said, he starts blushing while still staring at you, you doing the same to him. getting lost in his blue eyes, you were finally pulled out of your world by another knocking on your door. Axel walks in, and stops after only a few steps. "whoa, im not interrupting anything am I?!?" he asks in his own axely tone... Roxas and you both violently shake your heads. He smirks, and says, "well, theres a meeting in and hour so you two lovebirds hurry up and get ready" with that, he walks out.
you could only imagine how red your face was, Roxas, turns to you trying to act calm, while saying, "I'm gonna go get some more ice for you." you nod at him and say "I'm gonna take a quick shower". he nods and leaves. you go into the bathroom and turn on the curling iron before starting the shower, so you could easily braid your hair. you get some fresh clothing and a coat. you jump in the shower and wash up. while singing the wrong words to various songs, you think of Roxas and your heart feels light and heavy at the same time, you start blushing when you think about what Axel had said in your room. you get out and pull a towel around you. you go to grab for a brush when you hear an evil "hello" come from behind you, you let out a shriek of shock and surprise... you turn around scrunching the towel around your chest to find Yurix standing in front of you smirking.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!!?" you yell.."I just came to check up on you, he says while reaching for you, you smack his hand away while yelling "GO AWAY". his smile grows. you back up and he follows. thinking quickly, you grab the curling iron and throw it at him, he catches it only to let it go while yelling in pain, his smile disappears while he looks at his burned hand. he gets ready to jump at you as you close your eyes, screaming and trying to block yourself. waiting for impact you sit and wait, but nothing, you finally open your eyes to see what was taking so long, it takes you a second to analyze what was happening, Roxas was in front of you, keyblades out, and Yurix was kneeling on the floor breathing heavily.
Yurix frowns at you and disappears in his black smoke, while Roxas quickly turns around and asks you if you are alright. you tell him that your fine, and Yurix hadn't done anything. Roxas tells you he heard you scream and came running to see what had happened, you thank him but then realize you were still in only a towel, so you quickly ask Roxas to wait in your room while you get dressed. he agrees and you get dressed and do your hair. you walk out, ready to go. he looks you up and down since your hood was down which makes you blush, and once he realized what he was doing, he looks away. "we should get going" he says. you nod and walk together to the meeting room...
