Kingdom Hearts: Memories of Nobody

Chapter Five

Recovering

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

RFF: Xenia can play the flute, percussion, and the piano. That is why she is gifted with the manipulation of sound.

Last time: Xenia fights Marluxia, only to give up and receive some minor to major injuries. The Graceful Assassin takes her to Vexen to get stitches, but since she is terrified of needles, causes an uproar, and Marly has to kiss her in order to force her to drink a sleep/numbing serum.

I walked out of Vexen's lab, to see Marluxia leaning against the opposite wall. Vexen walked out behind me, and handed Marluxia a piece of paper. "These are instructions that you have to follow to make sure that Xenia's wounds heal properly. Here's the pills she has to take regularly to restore all the amount of blood she has lost… And, make sure she doesn't do anything extreme for at least three weeks," Vexen explained. He gave Marly a bottle of pills, and with that, he walked back into his destroyed lab.

"You left me alone with that pedo!" I shrieked. Marluxia let me hit him, since I knew he could easily catch my hand. His scratch wounds healed up, but my slap probably made the scars burn.

"He kicked me out!" Marluxia retorted. I slapped him again. Seriously, I cannot believe he left me with that… that… PEDOPHILE! I slapped his other cheek this time. I cannot stand Vexen! Or needles! But Vexen with needles? Oh hell no!

"I don't care if you were watching! Never, ever, leave me alone with that freak accident of nature!" I kicked him on the shin. I have a total of 279 stitches, and Vexen specifically told Marluxia that until my wounds healed, he was to make sure I didn't do anything extreme. Translation: do not hang out with Axel or Demyx for three weeks.

I stormed off, not wanting to be with anybody at the moment. I don't care if my stitches rip out; I just want to be alone! Marluxia followed me however. Damn him, and his stupid instructions! And for attacking me over a freaking joke!

"Where do you think you're going?" Marluxia asked from behind me. I turned and flipped him off, then turned the corner.

"I'm going to see Axel," I answered. Of course, Axel is the most extreme person I know! So, Marly there is probably not going to let me. He'll probably take me to my room and tell me to be a good girl until my stitches can come out. Like hell that's going to happen!

I was stopped by Marluxia, who grabbed my wrist. As you all know, he is physically two times stronger than me, so struggling wasn't going to help anything. The Graceful Assassin pulled me back to him, and I had to spin around so I wouldn't break my arm, and he threw me over his shoulder, which was painful to my stitches. His shoulder blade was digging into my stomach/hip area.

"Marluxia, this hurts…" I whined. He stretched out his left arm, and created a portal. I pounded on his back, demanding him to put me down. He must be ignoring me. We walked through the Dark Corridor, with me complaining nonstop.

We reached the end, and we were in my room. Since it was dark, my purple glow in the dark tattoos on my neck began to glow. They looked like tribal tattoos, so it's hard to explain what they look like. Marluxia threw me down on my bed, and turned on the light. My tattoos faded as soon as the light flooded the room.

"Sit here, and be a good girl, until your stitches are completely healed up," Marluxia ordered. How did I know he was going to say that? He sounds like my dad before he left me, my mom, and my younger brother. Painful memories…

I crossed my arms and fell back on my bed. My head met a mountain of pillows and plushies. There's barely enough room for me on this bed, so yes, there are a lot. And this is a queen sized bed!

Marluxia sat the list and pills on my nightstand, by my clock. He told me that he'd back in one hour, and then left by using the door. I rolled over, which was painful, and took the list. I read the instructions that Vexen had poorly written down.

1. Make Xenia take a pill every five hours, at least twice a day, but no more the four times.

2. Limit visitors. Don't let Axel, Demyx, or Xigbar anywhere near her room.

3. Get at least 13 hours of sleep.

4. Don't each much food, since this will cause the stitches across her stomach to rip.

5. She can only shower/bathe twice a week.

6. Clean her stitches every morning, evening, and night.

7. Come back if stitches rip, tear, or come out.

8. After three weeks, bring her to me to remove her stitches.

Well, that's not fair! My pyro friend isn't allowed near my room! That sucks big, hairy, fat ones. I glanced at the clock. 11:23 AM. No wonder Marly said he'd be back in an hour. Wait, Marluxia said he was kicked out of Vexen's lab since he had to remove my clothes in order to finish up my stitches, so does that mean I have to strip for Marluxia?

Um, that's not going to happen! Even if it were the only way to save the world, no! Does that mean Vexen saw me… naked? That bastard is so dead… I need to talk to Zexion about getting me out of here!

The only time I stripped for someone is when I was playing strip poker and I was completely wasted! But Luxord cheats so it wasn't a fair game anyway… and plus he was sober! Somewhat!

I face palmed. What was I supposed to do for an hour? Xemnas cancelled DirecTV for everyone's room except his own. I had a PS3 but I already beat all the games I had to it. My DVDs were all watched... Agh, looks like I'm stuck with sleeping.

Oh wait, there is one thing I can do… I reached under my bed and grabbed the handle to a box. I pulled out the small case, which was completely black. I undid the latches, revealing three separate pieces. The head, the body, and the 'tail' to my silver flute.

I removed the pieces from the box, and attached the head and 'tail' to the body. I played three notes, then the same three notes backwards. F, G, and A. I've had this flute for the longest time. Ever since I was a Somebody, I was obsessed with music. I learned how to play the flute, then the piano, and decided learning percussion wouldn't hurt anything.

I played a simple tune, something along the lines of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Then I played something harder. (A/N: Just imagine Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru). Music always calmed me down, and put me in a peaceful place. I can't imagine a world without music.

After about twenty minutes of playing my flute, who I named Silverado a long time ago, I decided that I should sing, since I haven't in forever. I took apart the three part instrument, and put the pieces in the corresponding areas. I placed Silverado in the same place under my bed. I walked over to my electric keyboard which I forced Xemnas to buy me.

I played multiple notes, which were quick, but lasting. After I played the tune about three times in a row, I began to sing.

"Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I'll be the one that's going to hold you
I'll be the one that you run to
My love is-"

I was cut off by my door being oh so gracefully kicked open. I turned to face my somewhat unwanted visitor. Oh hey, it was Roxas! And Axel. Marluxia's going to be pissed! But I don't care since I can't care and I want to have fun so screw rules and let's get wasted beyond belief! (A/N: That's one of my favorite quotes!)

"Axel, Roxas, come to see the injured and mentally impaired?" I joked. Axel leaned on Roxas's head, and stifled a laugh. I'm starting to think Roxas has become everyone's leaning post… Looks like Axel is now relieved of his duty as the previous leaning post!

"Mmmm… Axe… Axel… ah… Ungh… ugh…" I was so close to slapping Roxas into next week! Seriously, no one has ever had a speech impediment for this long! Oh wait, I can fix that… But I'm a lazy, moody, self centered, unmotivated, PMSing bitch so that's not going to be happening anytime soon.

"Actually, I, er, WE came here to see if you want to go play Dance Dance Revolution," Axel corrected. He then mouthed the words, "This kid follows me like a puppy!" Roxas was still trying to remove Axel's arm from his head. Didn't think a 14 year old kid would actually stalk my pyro friend.

"I destroy at DDR," I replied. I handed Axel Vexen's list/rules I'm supposed to follow. His green eyes scanned the paper, and then it magically caught on fire! The ashes landed in Roxas's spikes, which I found quite amusing.

"You never follow rules," Axel pointed out. I shrugged. It's true, I never, ever, follow the rules. They're too strict, and I'm surprised Xemnas has let me continue breaking them for this long. Eh, like I said, we have a connection of which no one really knows about. When we were Somebodies, he let me do anything I wanted, and now as Nobodies, I can still do whatever I want!

I was about to accept Axel's offer, but Marluxia appeared in the doorway. Damn it Marly! Seriously? Well, at least he finally washed out the hair dye. Wait, it's been an hour? I glanced at my clock. No, more like 17 minutes.

"You're 43 minutes early there, Marluxia," I sighed. I sat on my bed and waited for the Graceful Assassin to kick out The Flurry of Dancing Flames and The Key of Destiny. 3… 2… 1… Looking at the doorway, both Numbers VIII and XIII were gone.

"Zexion told me that Axel was going to see you," he replied. …Damn you Zexion, damn you to hell and back… He's going to be in the seventh circle of Hell tomorrow. Oh count on it… I kicked my legs over so I could stretch out on what minimal space I had on my bed.

Kill list for today: Vexen, Zexion, Roxas if he doesn't learn how to make a complete sentence, and Luxord for the hell of it!

Short chapter again. Sorry, I'm losing inspiration. Anyway, I think I'll make a side chapter on how Xemnas cancelled DirecTV… If I get enough reviews saying that I should. The reason Marluxia isn't on the kill list is because he's technically taking care of Xenia, so she kinda can't. ZEXIONXOC NEXT CHAPTER, I PROMISE!

Next time: Seventh Circle of Hell

"We have captured a spy that has been sneaking around the castle," Xemnas announced. Can't we just kill the guy and call it a day? I mean, seriously, what are we going to do, hold him for ransom? If we need munny, we just ask Luxord.

Axel stood in the middle circle with a figure at his feet. They were bound by ropes, and had a black bag over their head. The pyro pulled the bag off, and revealed a girl with cyan colored hair, and eyes that were brighter than her hair. She was gagged, obviously, and was giving everyone in the room death glares.

Xemnas nodded to The Flurry of Dancing Flames, and the flame head untied the cloth that prevented her from talking. "What's your name?" Xemnas asked calmly.

"I'd rather drink acid than tell you anything!" she spat.

"That can be arranged," I replied. She glared at me. I was sitting with Laexaus, since I had nothing better to do. I smiled, and leaned back, only to almost fall out of the chair.

"Smooth move," the prisoner commented.

"Can I kill her now?" I asked Xemnas.

"No, we'll keep her until she talks, and then you may do as you please Xenia," Xemnas answered.

"Xenia? What kind of name is that?" the captive laughed.

"Fuck you bitch. At least I don't get caught when I spy on people," I retorted. I'm totally PMSing right now, but that slut down there is lucky that I don't chop of that pretty little head of hers right now! When we have no more use for her, then I'll make her suffer. I'll wait until then.
