Rabbits vs. Phoenix
Chapter two
Disclaimer: No, they don't belong to me.
At night Roxas is called Saxor or Sax, because he hides his true name. They only know him by that name so I'm going to call him that to. If you don't like it, write. I'll see what I can do about it =)
He looked in the newcomers eyes. That was their entrance ritual. Saxor had to like or trust them and he decided this mostly on a person's eyes. Eyes couldn't lie.
First in the eyes of the girl, Kairi. They were a warm brown. She squirmed a little but was soon lost in the deep ocean of his eyes. He was satisfied with what he saw. She was honest and cheerful with a hidden strength which everyone in this gang had.
Then he looked in the guy's eyes. They were also blue, but only one was visible. Over the other eye hung his long fringe. Zexion was his name, he remembered. He wasn't sure what to think of him. His eyes hid a lot. He looked nice enough but he also seemed to be a schemer. Could he trust someone like that?
"Why do you want to join us?" he asked curious.
Kairi and Zexion looked at him, shocked. They hadn't expected such a voice. Zexion hid his surprise well but Saxor could see it. He grinned to Sora who grinned back at him. It was always like this at first.
"Because I heard this group is strong. And that you have an interesting leader. I see that they were right." The guy answered monotone.
He averted his attention back to Zexion.
"Oh? But that can be said about other gangs too. But it's nice that were regarded as strong. How do I know that you're not a spy?"
"And why am I the only one who gets asked these questions? What about her?"
"In her eyes I see sincerity. In yours not. You are…. Well you seem like a schemer." Saxor answered truthfully.
"…"
Zexion thought of what to do now. That Saxor was sharp. He decided to tell the truth. What did it matter? They would find out anyway and with this he could trust them easier.
"Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to promise me not to tell this to anyone and don't judge me based on this."
"Deal."
"I was in another gang before, they are called Mad Rabbits. My ex-boyfriend got me in. But I couldn't stand the people there since the beginning Except for my ex-boyfriend and the leader, Axel. When I broke up with my ex, I couldn't be bothered to stay there. I quitted and that didn't go well with them. So I hid and trained myself so that I could stand up to them if they find me. And I know they will. But I realized that alone I had no chance against them. So I came here. To find companions who wouldn't care about my dispute with them. Since you are a new gang, I believe you don't have bonds with any other gangs. So I basically am a schemer, but I don't plan to do something that would hurt you or this gang."
Saxor looked at him carefully. The other members were surprised. The new guy had never before spoken this much to them. He seemed more like the quiet type.
"Okay, I believe you. You are right, I don't care about your quarrel with them. And for the record, if anyone wants to leave this gang, you won't get hunted down for it. Except you did something really bad. Welcome, Kairi and Zexion to "Black Phoenix"!
Now that this is settled, we have two new members and are now a total of eight members, including Sora and me. Kairi, Zexion, I'll introduce the others to you. This is my right-hand man Sora. This is Hayner, you know each other already I believe. Then we have Tidus, Olette and Pence. And I'm Saxor, your leader."
They all greeted each other friendly and Kairi and Olette seemed to get along greatly right away. Olette had finally some girl to talk to and wasn't the only girl in the gang anymore.
"What about we go to karaoke now? You have an amazing voice Saxor. You can't by any means be a singer? It would totally suit you!"
Kairi suggested and everyone nodded in agreement.
"No,I'm not a singer and I don't plan on being one either."
Not anymore. His inner voice said.
"But karaoke is a good idea. Let's go. Sora, do you know a good place?"
"'Course I do. There's this great place called 'Bessi'. I think the owner of that place named it after her dead dog. (A/N: Actually my dog was called Bessi, but she died half a year ago. So it's kind of a memento.) It's a karaoke bar and below that is a disco. It's not far from here."
And to Bessi they went. Saxor got full points on every song he sung and that were many because everyone insisted he had to sing this song and that one also and so on.
Everyone had fun, and at about 12 o'clock Hayner suggested they go down to the disco and celebrate their two new members. And down they went. It was crowded and Saxor didn't really like crowds. So he went to the bar and ordered a drink.
"Hey cutie-pie, you up for a dance? I bet there are some real good dances this Xaldin here could show you. Not only on the dance floor, if you get what I mean."
Behind him suddenly stood a tall and bulky man with long dreadlocks who smirked at him suggestively.
Already in a bad mood because of the crowd, stressed from school and now annoyed as hell because of the worst pick-up-line he ever heard –and that were a lot- he snapped back
"I don't think someone who gets on the floor 'cause of one hit from me would be able to teach me how to dance."
"Down in one hit? From your fist? But if that's all, then try me. If you don't get me down, you're all mine. Come on, try. I won't hit back. I don't want to hurt your cute face."
"Gladly."
And not three seconds later Xaldin lay on the ground, blinking stupidly at the figure above him.
"Don't mess with me! You think someone like you can lay hand on me? Dream on!" Saxor shot out.
"What…"
"Sax!" a voice shouted. "What's going on?" a panting Sora asked. He had ran to his side as soon as he had seen him stand up. He knew his friend well.
"Nothing Sor. I was just declining a dance-invitation from the gentleman on the floor here. He was of the opinion I wouldn't be able to decline or win this dance. Let's go"
He turned around and began walking away when Sora suddenly shouted
"Sax, duck!"
He knew Sora well, he would never say something like this without a reason. So he ducked, and not a moment to early. A bottle flew over his head and into the crowd. Shouts were heard but Saxor ignored them. He whirled around to see Xaldin, seething with anger, storming at him.
"You little piece of shit! No one messes with Xaldin from the Mad rabbits! No one!"
Saxor grinned. That was the second time he had heard that name tonight.
"So these Mad rabbits are so weak, that they go down with one hit? They can't be very strong then."
He teased and easily avoided a hit aimed at his face. The other gang members and disco guests were gathering around him and his opponent by now and he heard a quiet
"Be careful Saxor, his fist is like a metal bat. Don't get hit." from Zexion.
Xaldin didn't notice the people surrounding him or the other spectators, he was totally focused on Saxor. Later one was only playing with the big man but was getting tired of this soon.
"Hey, wanna bet that you're going down with one hit again?"
He taunted his opponent and with that he twirled around the fist aimed at him and hit Xaldin square between the eyes. His enemy fell like a tree and the crowd cheered Saxor on.
"Great, little on!" "That was awesome!" And many similar phrases could be heard.
" Hey Sora, show those Mad rabbits guys who's better now." Saxor smirked at his right-hand-man. He could trust that Sora always had a marker or two with him.
They grinned at each other and began writing on Xaldins face.
This Mad rabbit guy was beaten
without landing even one blow.
He went down with one hit.
Happy Greetings,
Black Phoenix
Everyone around them was laughing and Sax turned around to Zexion.
"One down. How many to go?"
"Seven. They have the same number as we do. Their leader is called Axel, you can recognize him with his flaming red hair, his right-hand-man is Riku, a good-looking silver-haired guy. Then there are Larxene, Marluxia, Xigbar, Saix and Demyx."
When he said the last name, he sounded a bit sad, so Saxor concluded that this must have been his ex-boyfriend.
"Okay guys, now we have our next target. Mad Rabbits. Everyone be prepared. Sora, we're going, 'kay?"
"Right. Bye guys." Sora called, still as cheerful as ever.
That concludes the second chapter^^ I really like this story right now and think, that the next chapter is coming out soon, if school work allows me to.
Love, Ghazalia
