The Barbeque went on like any other shindig on the island. People showed up, ate and got drunk. Surprisingly, a lot of people showed up. I guess it being a Saturday helped. It seemed that Sephiroth invited all of the locals who were still on the island for the winter. Thankfully, before too many more people showed up, Kadaj went inside and managed to break up his brothers. Or get them to move somewhere else, I hadn't seen them in a while and so far there hadn't been any more screams of horror.
Marluxia and Larxene came, along with her older brother Luxord and his lover Xaldin- how they got together was rather a mystery to everyone. Luxord spent a lot of time overseas and brought back his british accent and Xaldin. How anyone could be attracted to dreadlocks and sideburns together?... well, I'd say it's the personality, except the guy kind of creeped everyone out.
Marluxia seemed nervous, I wondered if Larxene noticed. We found out, by means of the Yuffie/Rikku grapevine, that after seeing everyone who was invited, Marluxia was worried that Sephiroth had invited Dr. Vexen. Whom he was screwing behind Larxene's back and supposedly neither of them knew it. Turned out he had nothing to worry about; Vexen had called earlier and said he'd had other plans. I knew Vexen, I also knew he probably didn't have other plans and probably knew about Larxene, he was probably waiting for Larxene to kill Marly herself.
Professor Ansem came, his assistants Xemnas and Saix were there also. Ansem was a pretty cool guy, odd explosions and strange noises would come from his house occasionally, but he was still pretty cool for an old guy, we were kinda disappointed when he got a raise and moved to another part of the island. Xemnas was strange; he was obsessed with the dark and would continuously rant about the darkness in everyone. Saix just scared me. He was obsessed with the moon… and Xemnas, if he wasn't staring at the moon he was following Xemnas around everywhere with an odd gleam in his eyes. Rikku and Yuffie had a bet going on that he actually was a failed experiment of Ansem's that was an attempt to make a rabid wolf into a human, we still don't know for sure.
Auron came with his daughter Paine and his niece Yuna- Yuna's father had died in a shark attack about two years ago and she was now living with her Uncle Auron and overly protective cousin Paine- The girls were promptly snatched away by Rikku, Yuffie and my sisters, Auron laughed as the girls were dragged away and went to join Reno and Luxord in a drinking contest. Even though I barely knew him, I pitied Reno.
Cloud and Leon's friend Tifa came from the mainland with her boyfriend Barret, his daughter Marlene and their dog, Red XIII. Tifa and Barret sat and talked with Xigbar, Cloud and Leon… ok, mostly Xigbar and Cloud, since I really don't think grunting is really considered talking… and Marlene chased Red through the crowds.
Sora and Riku had gone inside with Tidus, once the living room was safe, to play a new video game of Riku's. I was still on the porch, my friends Hayner, Pence and Ollette had shown up with Ollette's cousin Selphie earlier and we were chatting away as I blatantly ignored the still grinning redhead leaning his elbow on my head. Once he had found me, Axel seemed very reluctant to leave my side, something that both irritated me and made me feel weirdly fuzzy inside.
I ignored the fuzzy side, telling myself it was the blood loss from earlier that day. Denial? What's that?
My friends' reactions to the leech were interesting. Hayner looked pissed, probably because Axel had almost killed me and was now acting like nothing happened- or it might have been that he just always looked pissed. Pence was confused, probably because I kept denying anything happening between Axel and I, only to let him use me as an armrest without bodily harm occurring… and the girls would look from us to each other and break into giggles at odd moments.
Overall, it was tolerable. Irritating, because people were already assuming we were a couple, but tolerable because… well… I really didn't mind that thought… but I wasn't about to tell him that. Hell, I didn't even know what his intentions were. He might just be looking for a quick fuck and well… I wasn't. Not after…
My thoughts were interrupted by a light thump on top of my head.
"Oy, you alright?" I looked up scowling at him.
"What do you think? Your using my head as an armrest for those boney sticks you called arms." He grins, his emerald eyes sparkling. I catch myself staring again and look down at my feet.
Something grabs my ass, shocked out of my mind I jump about a foot in the air, hands covering my poor rear, and land facing Axel, who was now bent double from laughing.
"WHAT THE HELL!? YOU PERVERT!!" I yell punching him in the arm, the heat on my face telling me I was lobster red. My friends weren't much help either. All of them, even Hayner, were laughing their asses off as well.
"Oww… Haha.. Rox, heh.. " Axel, tries to talk through his laughter, clearing his throat he tries again. "It wasn't me Roxie."
I glare at him, not believing him at all, when I get groped again.
"GAH!" This time spinning around to face… surprise surprise… a grinning Yuffie and a giggling Rikku.
"What the hell… Yuffie? Why'd you do that?!" I growl, beyond embarrassed now.
"Becaaaause Roxas! Your reaction was priceless." She grins holding up a camera, "or not. 10 munny a picture, for any who wants one!" Yuffie announced loudly.
"Yuffie…" I groan. Axel reaches up and ruffles my hair, I just glare at him. This is soooo his fault.
"Toldja it wasn't me." Ok. That grin is pissing me off now. "So girlies, what can we do for ya?" Axel asked turning his attention to the terrible two. Rikku whipped out a PDA that looked suspiciously like a converted pink game boy… actually… it looked like…
"Hey! That's what happened to my gameboy! What the hell did you do to it!?" Hayner cried angrily, ignoring or not noticing the odd looks he was getting from admitting to owning a "pink" gameboy. Yuffie held up a hand to his face nearly punching him in the nose as he tried to rescue his doomed appliance.
"Hush! It is now part of the Destiny Island Rumor Twins newspaper, or D.I.R.T. for short!"
"You two aren't twins though… and since when are rumors newsworthy?" Hayner grumbled crossing his arms and scowling.
"You," Yuffie put her fists on her hips, bending slightly to look Hayner in the eye, "have obviously never read a tabloid magazine." She turned back to Axel clapping her hands.
"Alrighty. Time for the interrogation… errr… Interview!" Axel laughed.
"What do you need to know?" Wow, he had NO idea what he was in for.
Rikku stepped forward, a stylus poised over the "gameboy".
"Name?"
"Axel."
"I meant full name."
"Just Axel." Rikku eyed him, smirking before continuing, entering information into the device.
"Sex…" She was about to continue before Axel interrupted.
"Yes, please." There were some groans, one coming from me.
"Male. Even more so obvious after that remark." Axel shrugged. "Age?"
"23." Hmm, four years older then me, I wonder…. WAIT! No I don't! I don't care! …Maybe a little.
"Height?"
"6'8""
"Favorite color?"
"Red, obviously."
"An embarrassing moment from your life?"
"I was nine and lit my boxers on fire, showing off my power to my crush at the time." That had to hilarious. I wonder if anyone got pictures?
"Sexual orientation?"
"Bi." I raised an eyebrow at that. I didn't really trust guys saying they were bi… it was like they couldn't make their minds up and I really didn't want to be left if he decided he really wasn't…
I started a little at that. I was already thinking like we were dating… that's not good. I cringed. I really don't want to be hurt again. I looked up at Axel, he was smiling answering the questions like he didn't care who knew. I wasn't really listening to the questions anymore, but I knew some of them got rather personal. All of us had been on the receiving end of these interrogations before, poor Sora had actually burst into tears during his. I wish I didn't care who knew about me, that I had that confidence…
"Who here would you like to screw right now?" I turned gaping at Rikku. THAT hadn't been a question I remembered. She looked at me and winked. I resisted the urge to smack myself in the forehead. I looked back to Axel to see him staring at me with a rather predatory gleam in his eyes, he grinned ferally.
"Gee, I dunno." You had to have been deaf not to hear the sarcasm from his voice. I gulped and took a small step backwards, bumping into someone. I squeaked and looked up, expecting to be eaten. It was Vincent looking as Vampiric as ever, he was looking down at me with his red glowy eyes. I gulped again. He looked next to him where Cid was standing, grinning.
"C'mon girl's, you've had your fun, leave the boys 'lone and let's go. Dad's workin' t'morrow and I have a shitload I need ta get done t'night." Rikku nodded and shoved her PDA back in her pocket, she glomped me before skipping into the house. Stunned, I didn't notice the glare, nor the note Yuffie gave Axel. She hollered a farewell to Kairi, Namine, Paine and Yuna, who were walking up to us, before grabbing Cid and Vincent's hands and dragging them into the house.
I looked over, seeing Axel reading something, before grinning and shoving the note into his pocket.
"Those girls sure are something else." He commented.
"Yeah. Deranged psychopaths from another world." Hayner growled. Something told me he probably would be long time in getting over his gameboy.
"So… Are their dad's together or something?" Axel asked curiously.
"Yeah. They got together after Cid's wife left." Kairi stated squeezing between me and Pence. "Yuffie's mom died giving birth, not to her… I think she was three, and everyone thought Vinnie would never find love again. When Shera just up and left Cid and Rikku a few years later, no one expected it, but they got together. They got married about two years later." We all stared at her like she had grown a second head, amazed by the fact she called Vincent, Vinnie and lived and that she seemed to know something about "D.I.R.T.", as they were now calling themselves, that we all didn't know. Everyone knew Cid and Vincent were together, but I didn't realize they were married, and none of us knew Yuffie's mother was dead. She and Vincent had moved to the islands when Kairi and Nam were four- which meant Yuffie had been five at the time.
"Duude." Whispered Pence in awe.
"What?" Kairi demanded proudly. "Are Yuffie and Rikku the only ones allowed to know all the good gossip?"
"Speaking of gossip," came Sora's voice off to my left. I turned to see him, Riku and Tidus filing out of the house. Sora was scanning the crowd out in the grass. "Does anyone know where Demyx and Zexion are?"
