I Was Born As A Nobody
Chapter 4 – Of Cup Noodles and Pancakes...
A/N :
Hmm, I think I'll answer the reviews here:
-no reviews-(sob)
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts and everything mentioned in my story that doesn't belong to me. Keith/Xkeith and the plot belongs to me, though.
I'll try to write this chapter in third person view and see how it goes...
Through the night, Xkeith only lay on his bed and thinks about Xion. What do you expect? He just got his first kiss after all. He even finished reading the papers that Vexen gave him!
So, it turns out that the swords are his weapon, but not his only weapon. Vexen is still trying to analyze what other kinds of weapons Xkeith can summon and use. It also explains that every Nobodies have their own elemental affinities, but it seems that Vexen can't find one on Xkeith.
The next day, Xkeith "wakes up" early in the morning. Well, we can't really call it waking up, as he really didn't sleep through the night. Anyway, his plans for today has already been made up through the night. First, he's going to apologize to Xion about what happened yesterday, though Xemnas has forbidden him from doing so. Next, he will find Vexen and ask him more about himself.
But, the plans are ruinned when he tries the first step, and that is to get out of his room.
'Click! Click!'
"Damn... It's still locked from last night... I wonder who did this..." Xkeith thought to himself. He cursed at the door and sits back on his bed. Just when he is about to lay down, a knock is heard.
"Anybody in there?" someone says from outside.
"Yes, there's one locked up Nobody in here!" Xkeith replies, a bit angry about the locked door.
"Can I come in?"
"Yes, you can! If it's unlocked, of course."
The doorknob clicks, showing that it's still locked. "Stay away from the door!" The voice shouted.
"WHAT?"
BOOM! INCOMING!(err?) Smoke's everywhere... A young man, around 20 years old, appears from behind all that smoke. His hair is bright red, which is going to make another eye problem to Xkeith.
":coughs: Do you fucking have to break down the door?"
"Yes, of course. Unless, you don't want to come out and get some breakfast. The Superior makes me take you to eat something for today. Oh, and by the way, my name's Axel. Got it memorized?" Axel says, without stopping for breath.
"err... yes?" Xkeith answered, not knowing what to answer.
"Let's just go. I'm already starving." Axel says, rolling his eyes.
So, they go to the kitchen. On the hallway, they're having a small talk.
"Hmm... You friends with Roxas and Xion?" Xkeith asks, out of curiosity.
"Well, yeah, kind of. I used to babysit the both of them, and we're still friends till now, you see." Axel says, without looking at Xkeith.
"What do you think of Xion?" Xkeith says, though he isn't really sure about why he asked that.
Axel comes into a halt and looks back to Xkeith. "Why'd you ask that? Have you fallen for her?" Axel says, inching his face a bit closer to Xkeith's.
Xkeith blushed slightly, though he really tries hard to hide it. "W-what? N-N-NO! Th-that's not what I mean!"
"C'mon, it's written all over your face!" Axel says, as he continued walking on. After about a minute of silence, Axel talks again, " Let's save the chit-chat for later. We've arrived in the kitchen." he says, as he throws open the door.
"Whoaa..." Xkeith is surprised at the size of the kitchen, although the sign outside the door said "The Kitchen that Is Not Supposed to Exist". It IS not supposed to exist, because it's hard to believe that such thing exists!
It is a really small kitchen, with a white table in the middle. (hehe.. I tricked you, didn't I?) All around the walls (except for the one with the door), are counters for preparing food. On the farthest corner, there's a two-door-refrigerator. The size is about 6x6 metres, with the dining table taking most of the space. In fact, between the table and the counters, there's only about one and a half metre of space!
"It's really small!" Xkeith exclaims, only to be stared at by the ones that's already in the Kitchen.
Near the fridge, there's a young man with a mullet... or is it mohawk? Err... don't know, don't care... In front of the stove, Xion is cooking something which looks like pancakes. And Roxas seems to be raiding the cupboards for some food he can't find yet, as there're a lot of cereal boxes scattered on the floor. Not a very organized organization, isn't it?
"Hey, who are you? You new around here? My name's Demyx, by the way." Demyx says as he starts walking to Xkeith, with his hand in front of him.
"Hi, I'm Xkeith." Xkeith says, shaking Demyx's hand.
"Leave him alone, Demyx. He's not supposed to talk to any of us, remember?" Axel says, already raiding the fridge for some breakfast.
"Oww... Do we really have to listen to that old man?" Demyx says, as he returns to his spot near the fridge. Axel then walks back to me and hand me a cup noodle.
"Make it yourself, Xkeith. That's the only food we got left." Axel says, scratching his head. Probably embarrassed over the fact that they only have instant cup noodles for newcomers.
"Don't worry. I can eat anything." Xkeith says with a smile. Axel's face lighten up. Xkeith walks to the stove to start cooking some 'hot water'. Xion's still cooking, but she looks away when he cooks next to her.
"Look, Xion, I'm sorry about yesterday. I don't mean to-"
"It's okay, really." Xion says quickly. She smiles at him, put her pancakes on a plate, and walks to the table to eat. When the water is boiling, I pour some into the cup, and join Xion. After Xkeith finishes his cup noodle, he groans. "Ow... I'm still hungry..."
"You know, I can share some of my pancakes with you." Xion offers.
"Really? Thanks a lot!" Xion then gives him some of her pancakes.
Meanwhile, in the corner, Axel and Roxas are whispering with each other.
"Hey, what do you think of them?" Axel whispers to Roxas.
"I think they make a perfect couple!" Roxas says aloud. Both Xion and Xkeith, knowing who they were talking about, stares at them in shock. Both then walks out of the room, leaving Axel and Roxas behind.
"You idiot!" Axel scowls.
"Why are we always being paired up?" Xkeith says. "Is it because you're the one bringing me here?"
"Who knows? They're just weird, you shouldn't listen to them." Xion says, as angry as Xkeith is.
"Well, that thing aside," Xkeith says, trying to change the direction of conversation,"what am I suppose to do now?"
"Try asking Saix for a mission," Xion suggests, "he's a bit tall, blue haired, ang have a scar on his face. You can find him in The Grey Area. You only need to go down the stairs once, and then walk straight to reach that place."
"Okay, thanks." Xkeith says, leaving Xion there.
"At least, we can still be friends, right?" Xion mutters under her breath, then walks to her room.
"A mission? You can't be given a mission unless you're an official member of the organization." Saix says.
"C'mon, I have nothing better to do. So, can you give me a mission, just to fill my free time?" Xkeith says.
"Well," Saix says," Why don't you go to the Twilight Town with Axel and train with him?" As he finished saying that, Axel appears beside him.
"What's my mission Saix?" Axel asks.
"You're to babysit the new kid" Saix says.
"Great, just another babysitting to do..." Axel groans.
"...is that supposed to be a mission?" Xkeith asks.
"Yes, it is supposed to be given later when you've become an official member. But, as you wanted a mission so badly, so I'll give it to you. And, it's also because I hate Axel." Saix says with a grin.
"Gee, thanks." Xkeith and Axel both says at the same time. As he says that, a portal appears beside Saix.
"Well, let's go, Xkeith." Axel sighs. "Hope you can keep up with me."
"Well," Xkeith thought, " I wonder if I can...". He then proceeds to enter the portal.
A/N:
Okay, sorry if this update is a bit late. My laptop broke down and I finally figured out how to repair it this afternoon. And then, I have to re-type the whole chapter.
Writing in third-person view is not bad, but I'm still making some mistakes sometimes, like writing Xkeith as 'I'...
Oh well, review please if you like this third-person-view-chapter...
