Day 76
Day after day, I've been putting my training to use, and it works well! Ever since Lord Xemnas's proposal, I've been looking at the information I need to do, then pick a partner to work things out for the best strategic encounter!
Recon is different, though, as I pick somone, but also investigating while defeating Heartless, especially those needed to watch out on!
My 'feelings' for Roxas has been growing, but I know that, one day, he'll 'feel' the same for me as I do to him.
One day, as she gets prepared for her next mission, she heard a knock on her door. "Enter," she called out, and Saïx enters in.
"Yexum," he said hurriedly, "forget your upcoming mission! A giant Heartless has been spotted in Neverland! I need you to pair up with Roxas today!" He noticed that she's confused on the sudden change in mission.
"Just," he said calmly, "pair up with Roxas, go to Neverland, and destroy a giant Heartless there. Roxas is having a losing battle, so he requested back up! Just make sure it's out and gone when you get back. And with Roxas alive, too!"
"Will do, Saïx!" she said.
"Rendezvous with him when you're ready!" And then he left.
Strange, she thought as she finished getting ready. It's not like Saïx to show up with an unknown Heartless. Well, missions are missions! Can't argue with him when it comes to emergency missions.
When she got to the Gray Room, she saw Xion on a chair, reading a book.
She looked a bit longer and saw Saïx there as well. "Xion," he explained, "will leave after you and Roxas come back to take out the remaining Heartless!"
When she nodded, Saïx summoned a dark corridor which would take her to Neverland.
When Yexum stepped through, the portal disappeared and Saïx turned to Xion. "When those two get back," he instructed, "I want you to wipe out the rest of the Heartless! Understood?" Xion summoned her Keyblade as if she understood, then continued reading her book.
When Yexum reached Neverland, the first thing she saw was a giant, mostly purple Heartless, beating it's wings at a boy who's floating around it.
When Yexum saw some blonde hair from the boy, she gasped as the boy was Roxas. He must've been, she thought, fighting that Phantom Tail alone! I better help him, but I can't fly!
Just then, a fairy showed up right in front of her face.
"Oh!" She gasped. "Hello there! Listen, can you help me out? My friend's in trouble and I need to get to him!"
The fairy looked as though she was thinking, then flew above her, sprinkling her dust on Yexum. When the fairy was finished, she pointed at the Phantom Tail, and then Roxas.
"You want me," Yexum translated, "to help him to take out the Heartless?" The fairy nodded, then flew over the edge while diving towards the sea, then came back up to her.
"You want me to jump?!" The fairy nodded again. "Alright." She said, uneasily. "I guess I could trust you." She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped over the edge, thinking she'll hit the water.
But a splash didn't happen. When Yexum opened her eyes, she saw that she was still on the same spot where she would start falling to realize that she was flying. Yexum looked at the fairy that had helped her fly. "Thank you!" she said. "Now I can help my friend!"
The fairy flew away, and Yexum summoned her bracers. When they showed up, she charged towards the Heartless with a strategy in mind.
While Roxas and Yexum were having ice cream in Twilight Town at the clock tower, they were talking about how they were able to defeat the Heartless by following her strategy.
"Wow, Yexum!" Roxas exclaimed. "That strategy was the best you could come up with against that Heartless. I knew that the Phantom Tail wouldn't stand a chance against thunder magic, but you had something totally different!"
She was smiling while Roxas was talking about their battle with the Heartless. "Oh!" she suddenly said, remembering something else. "Almost forgot! Xion will be here later because she's cleaning up the rest of the Heartless from Neverland!"
"That's good to know!" He said. "Also, why do you smile so much whenever I talk about something that involves you, or whenever you're near me?"
Yexum just found out that Roxas can tell if she was smiling or not, even if she thought he wasn't looking. It was weird, knowing that he found out she was smiling because of him.
"Well, Roxas," she started, but he stopped her.
"Shush!" he whispered. "Your eyes speak for you!" And with that, Roxas kissed her, unaware that Xion just showed up from a corner.
When Xion saw Roxas and Yexum kissing, she decided to just back away quietly, without either of them knowing, and went to tell Axel about what she just saw.
She noticed that Axel was just about to head up.
"Hey, Xion!" he called out. Then he noticed that she's troubled. "What's up? Something happened?"
"In fact, Axel," Xion explained, "I was just about to sit down with Roxas and Yexum, only to find out that they're kissing. I didn't think they noticed me because they didn't stop."
"And why are you sad about it?"
"Well," Xion confessed, "I kinda like Roxas, but Yexum spends more time with him than anyone else. I didn't even get the chance to see Roxas alone that much!"
"Ouch, Xion! That's terrible! But let's just leave them alone. Let's just buy some ice cream and head somewhere else. They need that alone time, if you get that memorized!"
"Okay!" Xion agreed, and went with Axel.
When Roxas and Yexum stopped kissing, Yexum pulled Roxas into a hug. "I love you, Roxas!" she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too, Yexum!" he whispered back. And they enjoyed the rest of the sunset together, happy with each other.
At least the confessions are out!
