On edge
Another ghost….
Sora stared curiously at the ghost, who looked completely petrified. He figured she was a victim, but why lock her up? He tried to take a step forward and suddenly a notebook was being flung at him, and hit him square in the face.
"OW! Wait- I -ARGH-"
Then a lamp to the knee.
"I just-"
And a desk chair that he just barely jumped away from.
"Please! I just want-"
"I know what you want!" The ghost interrupted, her face now contorted to anger. "I'm not letting you use my powers- I'd rather be stuck in this room forever then even consider helping Xemnas and pathetic followers like you!"
No wonder she's freaking out on me…but can't she tell im not a ghost?
"But I'm not with Xemnas," Sora tried to explain. "I'm as against him as anyone could be!"
Her blue eyes narrowed, "Prove it."
Sora bit his lip, looking down for a second and noticed the notebook that now laid on the floor after attacking his face. He noticed that it was open to a page that was scrambled with words that filled the paper completely. He bent down to pick it up.
I wonder how many days it's been…feels like it's been forever. Did they look for me? -
"What the- put that down!"
Ignoring her, he scanned the page, until he saw a familiar name.
I really miss them. Especially Axel - he was like my brother.
"Axel?" Sora asked out loud. And before the ghost could fling anymore inanimate objects at him, she freezed.
"What-what about him?" The ghost demanded. Sora scanned more through the notebook, and glanced back at the ghost.
"Is the Axel you're talking about…Is it Axel Kasai by any chance?"
A floating crate that was about to fling right at him dropped to the ground, and the girl stepped forward. Her guard was still up, but she was much calmer now.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Sora," The brunet answered simply. "I live here now, and I'm 100% human. And am I allowed to ask who you are, or are you going to throw that desk at me?"
She smiled slightly, "Xion. Sorry, I just assumed whoever would be first to unlock the door would be Xemnas or someone associated with him."
Sora nodded in understandment, "It's okay, but um, why are you in here?"
Xion sighed, and the desk chair floated up and back to her and she sat down, "It's a really long story."
"Well, I'm not going to say I have time…but, considering I have no idea where I am or where I should be going, please, tell."
Sora sat down on a crate, and the heartless jumped up on the desk. Xion gave it an odd look, but shook her head and looked at Sora.
"Well, about two years ago, I came to visit twilight town with my dad. He was doing some huge business deal, and it took up most of the summer so we ended up staying at a business partners home. Which was Axel's home."
Sora listened attentively, "So you aren't, erm, old?"
Xion smiled softly, "No, I think I would be, maybe, 16 now?"
Sora nodded, and the ghost continued. "At first Axel was kind of an asshole, so I avoided him, but then one of his friends invited to go get ice cream with them. Turns out, Axel wasn't that bad, and I hung out with him, Demyx, and Zexion over summer all the time."
Sora smiled, "Their all here, you know."
Instead of looking over joyed, or even surprised, Xion smiled sadly. "Anyway, it was late summer, and I went to this party with them. It was some welcome to high school thing, and I didn't really feel like I belonged there. They played truth and dare, and when it was my turn, I was dared to go the mansion. Pretty trivial right? Anyway, Axel tried to force me to stay, and even go home, but I didn't listen. I wanted to prove to Axel that I wasn't just a little girl. He ended up becoming like a big brother to me and thought I was extremely fragile - but I wasn't. Not at all."
She had a look of determination on her face, as if she was trying to convince Sora of the same thing. The brunet nodded slowly, eager to hear the rest of the story. It was so strange how pieces were lining up.
"So, we all walked to the mansion, and They stayed in front of the gate, while I climbed under an opening. I was suppose to go in, shut the door, and spend three minutes in there before coming out. I wasn't very scared, I mean, to me, it was just an old house with a string of rumours. So I went in, and almost immediately after I closed the door…I felt cold. So cold…"
Sora tilted his head, concerned at the look of discontent that flashed across Xion's face. The story was less fluid, and suddenly, it's as if she couldn't anything of what happened into words, "He…Xemnas was there….He…he was that smile…Then everything. Black. I woke up somewhere - I don't know where, and I was still alive. He said….my friends…my dad…no one would remember me. It didn't matter….I wasn't suppose to exist…I was a mistake, and I only held a purpose for him….He showed me, the world as it was suppose to be…without me…."
Xion's words were short and it was as if she was out of breath (even though ghosts don't breathe, per say…). Sora really wanted to comfort her, but wasn't sure how too. He was also really confused, how the hell could Xemnas make someone completely disappear from existence? But it also made sense on how she wouldn't be happy to see Axel or the others considering they wouldn't remember her, and if they had, they surely would've said something about her by now….
Sora blinked, and lost his train of thought as Xion began to speak again.
"He kept me alive for a long time…until I started to suffer from lack of food and water. I was in so much pain, physically and mentally, for what seemed like ages. Then one day, I felt something sharp go right through me. Before I could even process what had happened, I was floating above my own dead body."
Sora briefly recalled the lifeless bodies of Riku and Namine. They were like puppets, with stitches and such. They had been lifeless for a while (Riku's, for a REALLY long time), but to see your own body, right after death? Sora couldn't imagine.
Xion then concluded her story, "Xemnas then forced me into this room, and told me he'd let me out when he needed me. And that's it. I've been stuck in here for two years."
Sora frowned, Xion was a victim, of course, but she wasn't like the others. It was almost like she was set up to go into the mansion, and meet this fate. But why? Why her?
"Sora."
He looked up, and locked eyes with her piercing blue ones, "Let me help you. Tell me your story, and we can figure out things from there."
Well, there was nothing left to lose, and Sora had absolutely no plans of his own, so he heaved a huge breath and smiled slightly.
"Well, I moved here with my brother about a week ago…"
XxXxxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Riku, I'm really not liking this - we havn't seen anyone or thing in a really long time…"
The ghost broke his concentration on the path ahead, and glanced at the red head beside him, "Don't worry, Xemnas has probably gathered them all in one place. I can sense a really strong presense that's coming closer."
Kairi raised an eyebrow, "It's funny how you say 'Don't worry'…"
"Well, moreso of being ambushed…I doubt Xemnas is paying much attention to any of us right now…"
Because of Sora…But Kairi didn't say that, since any mention of the brunet seemed to throw Riku off guard, and they needed their sole hope to be in the mindset of kicking evil ghost but and not the prospect of where Sora is.
"So," Axel said. "If their all in one place, that helps our plan a lot immensely, right?"
"Yes and no," Riku responded. "Ghosts can disappear and reappear, which is what most are going to do, but most of Xemnas' followers are weak and empty. So it won't hard to get rid of them - it's his colleges that will cause an issue…"
"How many of them are there?"
"Not many," Riku said. "But…their strong, and have been working with Xemnas for almost a century for this moment."
Kairi sweatdropped, "And we've been preparing for maybe an hour…?"
Everyone murmered, and were starting to feel a little bit less confident, and Riku immediately regretted telling them that fact. But it was inevitable. He sighed and stopped, and everyone too halted, confused.
He turned to them, "Look, this won't be easy -"
"No shit Sherlock!"
Riku rose an eyebrow at Yuffies outburst, and Leon bumped her on the head, "Continue."
"This will not be easy. I can't predict how tonight will end, or even if tonight will be the end, but… I know theres hope. Every single one of you has a purpose, and you can't doubt yourselves! Xemnas will try to trick you, he'll try to convince you of things that aren't true, but you can't believe him. Xemnas thinks he has everything he needs, but unlike him, we have something worth fighting for. Am I right?"
"Namine," Kairi said.
"Twilight town…" Roxas said.
"The whole entire world and all the the universes!" Yuffie burst out.
"Sora," Leon said, and for a moment, locked eyes with Riku. The ghost nodded.
"Sora," Riku desperately wished the brunet was here beside him, but remembered, that he had to be strong for Sora. He took a deep breath, and continued his little motivational speech, "Alright let's get going -"
"Riku! My Freaking God, I finally found you!"
Riku was taken aback when a blond ghost suddenly appeared beside him, looking mad as hell. She huffed, "We ran into Luxord, and they gambling freak starts claiming that I should leave Marluxia and be with him cause apparently the cards are in favor of us being destined together. Then I told him to shove those cards up his-"
"Your point Larxene?" Riku inquired. "We're kinda in a hurry."
The blonde glared, but continued, "Anyway, Marluxia and him got into this huge fight, and then suddenly, they were both gone! The nerve of those two to leave the girl their fighting about! I tried to find them, or someone, but I ended up finding you first."
"Well, we've got a plan," Riku explained. "And I'm pretty sure were getting close to where Xemnas is."
Larxene nodded in agreement, "He's probably in his "conference room"…creepy ass room…"
"Wait, you know the exact room?" Riku asked, surprised.
Larxene rolled her eyes, "Well, duh, I was one of his colleges."
Riku nodded, remembering that fact, and how helpfull both her and Marluxia could be when they weren't fighting with eachother or obsessing over knifes and/or flowers…
"Well care to lead the way?" Riku asked.
"To kick old mansex's ass?" Larxene said, smirking. "Do you even need to ask?"
"Um, Mansex?" Axel asked. "Is that suppose to imply something that Xemnas does in his free time?"
Larxene laughed, and if Riku could've flushed red, he would've.
"Oh my god, NO - Larxene, why the hell are you calling him that?"
Larxene smirked, " Well you see, Marluxia and I trying to find out nicknames for everyone. We couldn't figure out anything good for Xemnas. But then we found out something very interesting…if you take the letters of his name and mix them up you get…mansex! Pretty Brilliant if you ask me."
"Very brilliant," Axel agreed whole heartedly, "Now I know what to scream out when we go into battle!"
Roxas raised an eyebrow, "Are you really gonna scream out Mansex? It kinda ruins the dramatic effect."
"It's funny, my dear Roxy." Axel poked him on the nose, and the blond scrunched his nose. "We need a little comic relief here!"
Roxas smiled, "And of course you'd be the one to bring it." He then turned to Riku. "I'm more than ready to beat that creep that possessed me. And get Sora back. And get some sense of normalcy."
Kairi laughed lightly, "Your dating a fire obsessed porcupine, Roxas, your life will never be normal."
Roxas smiled, and shrugged. Axel scoffed, "A Porcupine? Like I haven't heard that one before…"
"Okay," Riku said, firm. "Let's get moving - Larxene, lead the way."
The blonde nodded, and started to glide forward, "It's not to farrr…" She drifted off distracted, and suddenly looked up. "Shit!"
"What now?" Riku sighed, in aggravation. He then looked up, and a single, red and white, playing card fluttering down from what seemed out of thin air. The others stared at it curiously, while Riku sighed in realization, and Larxene screeched. Her knives appeared in her hands, and she leapt up and stabbed the card right through the middle. She stared disdainfully at it.
"Queen of Spades? Luxord! Enough of this bullshit!"
"Why, Larxene, the cards merely tell of what is true. You ARE my queen of spades…"
The voice echoed, and more cards started to flutter down. At first they were harmless, but then a brisk wind flew through the hall, and the cards started to fly in a whirlwind of all directions. By the way the others were wincing from contact, Riku could assume that the cards were not normal playing cards anymore.
"Luxord! Where's Marluxia?" Larxene demanded. She had taken too slashing through the cards even though they proved no damage to herself.
"Ah, well you see…the cards weren't quite in his favor…"
"Luxord- AH!" Suddenly, a dozen or so cards flew directly through her, and Larxene's ghostly figure turned to a dark mist for a few seconds, and then as she reverted back into a human form, she looked dazed.
"Larxene," Riku shouted. The wind was brash, with cards stirring in all directions; it was impossible to hear anything other than Luxords booming voice. "What-"
"GO!" She yelled back. "Go to the room with the white door, and the upside down heart - it's impossible to miss! Take everyone! I can take this gambling obsessed bastard on my own!"
My, my how words hurt - I guess I'll have to give you a "larger perspective" of the fate the cards tell.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
"Um…that…"
A couple dozen or so of the cards started to enlarge, to almost human size, with now arms that were accompanied with spears.
"What is this?" Axel scoffed, blocking a card-man's spear with his chakram, and pushing him back. "Alice in freaking wonderland?"
"Riku - GO!" Larxene urged, struggling to take on five of the cards at a time. Riku, slashed at one, and shook his head.
"You can't handle this all by yourself!"
"Yes I can!" The blond spat. "Just because Xemnas kicked Marluxia and I out doesn't mean were weak, weve been preparing too!"
"I'm- not - saying - that!" Riku said in breaks as he whirled around. "But, there's too many!"
"Riku - Go!" Axel then said. "I'll help her take the card freak -"
"So will I!" Yuffie offered, along with Olette and Cloud.
"- so take Roxas and the others and we'll catch up!"
Riku really didn't like the idea of splitting up, but didn't have much time to think about it. With one last slash with his blade, he shouted out, "Let's go!"
He glided through the cards, with the others not too far behind. He turned the corner, and suddenly, it was if he had entered a completely different area. The noise silenced, and he was faced with an eerie dark hallway. It had no other halls connected to it, and was lined with doors. Including a white one. At the very end. That wasn't obvious, at all.
"That's it…" Kairi whispered, as if afraid that breaking the silence would result in something catastrophic. Riku glanced for a moment at the few who were left to fight. Kairi, Roxas, Leon, and Aerith. Riku didn't doubt their abilities; he was just weary about the ratio once they entered that room. But it was now, or honestly never. Namine could be there. Sora could be there.
"Riku…" Kairi stepped up to his side, and she pointed off in the distance. "That door - it just opened - and - and - Sora!"
The red head broke into the run, and without even thinking everyone else did too. Riku, though, knew better. He had the feeling that there was something behind that door, but it was definitely not Sora.
"Wait! Don't go-"
Kairi had already pushed the door open, and just as soon stumbled back, clapping her hands over her mouth to muffle the scream she almost let out. Riku popped into appearance in front of her, and glared at exactly what he suspected was there.
It had Sora's appearance, well at least the spiky mass of hair. The figure looked as if Sora had been dipped in black, from head to toe and his normally bright blue eyes, were now just completely yellow. Like the black creatures that were roaming the halls. Riku then eyed something that glinted off the things neck. A Silver crown…
"What are you doing with that?!" The ghost demanded. The figure tilted it's head, and slowly reached up to grasp the necklace.
"It's mine…" it spoke so softly. As if it were scared. As if it had emotions. It's voice was like Sora's, and Riku almost let his guard down. But he knew better. He held his glare.
"That's Sora's - and don't even claim to pretend your him! Your nothing but darkness," Riku spat.
The figure stared at him blankly, but then it's eyes narrowed the tiniest bit, "I know I'm not Sora - but I am a part of him. I've been looking for him, but then I found this, so I know exactly where he is. I would think you would want to know where he is…"
Riku was taken back by how much the dark Sora had suddenly said, especially by what he said. "Is…he safe?"
"If you mean free…then yes…he's with someone though…"
Riku thought for a minute, trying to choose his words, "Why were you looking for him?"
"Because Sora need's to be whole," The creature said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. "He need's me."
Riku sneered at it, disgusted. "Sora need's you to be destroyed."
"Sora's too bright - he attracts the darkness." It explained. "He's a walking hazard to himself. I thought you wanted to protect him…?"
The mocking tone in its voice almost made Riku lose it. But at that moment, he came to the conclusion that he had two choices. Either destroy this thing, grab the necklace, and continue on with the plan…or drop everything and let it lead him to Sora. The shadow Sora had a valid point though. Sora was practically shining bright with light, and wherever he turned, he was probably going to attract some sort of enemy…but the thought of Sora having darkness inside him…it didn't sit well with Riku.
"Riku…?"
The ghost had almost forgotten that the other's were still there, watching warily. Riku couldn't waste anytime. He had to make a decision.
"I'm sorry," Riku said, drawing back his keyblade. "But there's far too much darkness in this mansion already…"
He swung the blade with one sweep and the dark figure evaporated into black dust. The necklace dropped to the ground with a thud. Riku picked it up. It felt heavy in his hand, and he handed it to Roxas.
"Take care of it."
The blond nodded, and placed it over his head, and let it hang loosely around his neck. Riku took a second to glance at the area the figure was just at, before turning back to the door.
"No more distractions…" The ghost said, and continued forward with the other's in his wake.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"You know, zexion," Demyx said lightly. "It's pretty cool that my sitar suddenly appeared and I can play some great music…but what's the point?"
Zexion rolled his eyes, and didn't even glance up from the book he was absorbed in. While Demyx suddenly found a sitar in his hands, Zexion was given a book. It was the legend of kingdom hearts. Zexion had heard the story hundreds of times, but never saw it in exact writing until now. The copy of the book that he now had seemed to be ancient. The pages were yellowed, the cover simply had a symbol containing a crown, a heart with a stem, and a upside down heart with a cross sticking up from it.
They had been walking for a really long time, and it was becoming to the point of ridiculousness when they hadn't seen anyone, good or bad, so they had found a small study somewhere in the depths of the mansion, lit some candles (Zexion always had matches on him, even though Demyx claimed that was Axel's job), and had simply sat down. Zexion was reading on a section about somewhere called Destiny Islands, and a secret cave that contained a door to other worlds. Demyx was strumming away on his Sitar.
"Zexion…" Demyx sighed, putting the sitar down, and sitting on the armrest, peering over the silver haired teen's shoulder. "We can't stay in here forever…"
"I'm very well aware of that."
Demyx huffed out at the lack of response, when suddenly he heard a thump from outside the door.
"Zexy, did you hear that!" The blond jumped up, and ran to the door.
"Demyx - you shouldn't-"
Too late, the blond swung the door open, and was face to face with a very angry, pink haired…women?
"Who the hell are you?"
Oh. Definetly a man. And also a ghost, judging by how Zexion could see right through him to the next wall.
Demyx tilted his head, "You have a really deep voice for a girl…"
Zexion nearly face palmed - Demyx could be really slow sometimes. The ghost looked livid, it pushed Demyx back and the blond flung onto the bed. Zexion stood up, not really sure what the ghost was going to do, but the he simply walked forward and the angry expression broke and the ghost sat on the bed next to Demyx, and slumped his head into his hands.
"Oh, I don't want to hurt you…" He mumbled, seeming extremely depressed. "I just want to find my Larxene…."
Zexion rose and eyebrow, while Demyx went into full compassionate mode. The blond almost made to pat the ghosts back, sympathetically, but awkwardly pulled back. He instead said, "We could help you! I'm sure she's not far…my boyfriend and I are trying to find someone too…you havn't happened to see a ton of other humans running around?"
Zexion gave Demyx a look at the word 'boyfriend'. When had that been decided? But it's not like her was against it…
The ghost looked up, "Oh, of course, you'd have to be with them all…I'm not sure where they all are right now…but I'm pretty sure I know where they're headed…"
Demyx's expression brightened, "Great! We've been separated all night - and suddenly my Sitar showed up and Zexy got this book and-"
"Book?" The ghost looked over at Zexion, and stared at the book in his hands. Zexion hesitantly walked forward, and showed the ghost. "It's about Kingdom Hearts…does it have some sort of meaning?"
The ghost stared up him incredulously, "I think it's pretty much behind the meaning of what's been going on…If that book came to you…you must be an illusionist…"
"And that means…?"
The ghost stood up, more energized, "I'll explain on the way. All of this just made so much more sense."
Demyx stood up, and grabbed his sitar, "Well it just got a lot more confusing for me! Why is my Sitar here? What's that book mean? Whose Larxene? And what's your name anyway?"
"Marluxia," The ghost flipped his hair, irritated. "No come on, I'll explain on the way!"
Demyx and Zexion flashed eachother a look, and hurried after the pink haired ghost.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Xemnas knew Sora was gone. But he didn't sense that the others were close. He was the kind of person who could only think of one thing at a time. He had sent out Luxord and Xigbar to find the brunet keyblade wielder while he had met with the others in his conference room.
Namine was now left to be watched over by a dusk. It swayed back and forth in front of the door, knowing its one mission and sticking to it. The room was eerily quiet, and for a while, all Namine could do was draw. She had to wait for the right time. She finished her last picture, eyeing the dusk, and carefully started to rip it out of her journal.
There was a crash, and the dusk swung it's head toward the door. Namine ripped out a another, and there was another crash. Another, and another, and another and it was as if glass was raining down from the hall outside. The dusk then sauntered outside, walking right through the door. Namine quickly stood up, clutching her journal. She forced the door opened, and ran into the hall. The dusk turned to her, and it's mouth unzipped, and let out a hiss. It started to leap towards her, but she disappeared into thin air before she could.
It looked around, confused. Then started to go down the hall, unsure of its mission now.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"So where should we go…?"
Sora had told Xion her story, and she was pretty blown away by it. They had left the room, and Xion advised him to lock it again with his keyblade. They were walking down a quiet hall, with the little heartless bouncing alongside them.
Xion hesitated, "We should keep heading this way - I can sense a strong presence down here. It's like a lot of people have clustered near the back of mansion. Ghosts and humans."
"You don't think Riku and all them are going to try to - "
"They're your friends Sora," Xion said quietly. "But you probably already know the answer to that question…"
Sora looked down, and that feeling of guilt came over him again. What if they were in horrible danger right now? And there he was, walking down a quiet hallway with a nice ghost and probably the friendliest heartless in the world. It just didn't seem right, how was he getting out of all of these situations so easily while his friends had to suffer?
"Sora," Xion said suddenly. "Your not a bad person. You sacrificed yourself and you survived - they'll be happy. I know they will be."
Sora sighed, and smiled sadly at the ghost. She was probably right. But that didn't stop the guilt. They continued walking down the hallway that seemed to last forever. It was so quiet, and for while neither said a word.
"Sora!"
Sora whipped around at the familiar voice, and his expression brightened when Namine had suddenly appeared behind them.
"Namine - thank god your okay!"
She gave him an exasperated smile, and ran over and hugged him. She then looked him up and down, her expression one of shock.
"Why- why are you covered in blood?"
"oh," Sora finally took to notice his disgusting body. "I sort of woke up in a bath tub of blood-"
Namine put a hand to her mouth, "That's horrible! But as long as your okay….and who's this…?"
She turned to Xion, was watching the two with a sad smile, and when Namine turned to her, she was taken aback for a moment.
"I'm Xion…"
Namine tilted her head, "Where have you been all this time?"
"Xemnas locked her up, she died about two years ago," Sora explained. Namine 'hmmm'ed in thought.
"You must have some pretty special powers then," the blond smiled brightly. "Xemnas was in a fit when he realized the keyholes have been opened."
Sora paled, "Is…he coming?"
"He's looking," Namine explained. "I believe the other's are all near the back of the mansion, preparing to fight him off but finding you was my first priority after I escaped."
"What happened to you?" The brunet asked, and Namine rolled her eyes.
"Xemnas made this big deal of capturing me from my white room, and he stuck me in this study and was interrogating me with questions I wouldn't answer, and I kept drawing fake drawings to throw him off," She giggled. "It was rather amusing, to be honest."
Sora sighed in relief, "Well I'm glad your okay… "
Namine put a cold hand on his shoulder, "Don't feel bad Sora - they'll be happy to know your okay."
"Xion said the same thing," The brunet sighed and glanced down the long hallway. He turned to the two ghosts, "Well, let's go! We can't have them fighting this huge battle without us!"
He started down the hallway, with lucky in his wake. The two ghost girls followed a little further behind.
"Xion," Namine started, and the other glanced at her. "Have we met before…?"
"No way," The ghost shook her head. "I've been locked in that room since the day I died-"
"No, no," Namine shook her head, staring at Xion with curious eyes. "I mean - alive. Sora said you died two years ago…I mean I only died a year ago, and you really do look familiar…"
"No, you probably have me confused with someone else," Xion smiled lightly. "I only came to visit…no one here ever knew me."
"hmmm," Namine tilted her head in thought, staring at Xion for a second longer. "Alright. I guess I was just imagining it."
Xion inwardly sighed in relief and before their conversation could continue any further, Sora turned around, now very far ahead, and yelled out, "C'mon! You guys can float and appear wherever you want and I'm still moving faster than you!"
Namine rolled her eyes, "Relax, were coming!"
Sora was gesturing in over exaggerated hand motions for them to hurry up, and the two ghosts laughed. They reappeared at his side, and the three (and of course the heartless), moved on into the deepest depth's of the mansion.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Seifer, we just passed this door ten minutes ago!"
"How can you even tell?! They all look the freaking same!"
"I thought you said you knew exactly where you were going!"
"When did I say that - why would I say that?! I've never been here in my life!"
Jeez, they just never shut up…
Pence sighed, and followed behind the bickering pair. He was trying to keep an eye out for anything or anyone, but so far the only thing that filled the halls was Hayner and Seifer's raising voices. Honestly, they found the absolute dumbest things to argue about. Pence almost just wished they would kiss each other already. Even though it'd be pretty awkward, he did have his camera so it'd make perfect blackmail material.
Pence learned after awhile to block out the noise, and was looking through the camera that had appeared in his hands. Most of the pictures were just black - not all that exciting. He had to of gone through a hundred pictures, when his hand slipped and he accidently pressed the picture button, and an almost blinding flash went off. The first thing he noticed was the quiet. Hayner and Seifer were suddenly gone - or maybe he had suddenly disappeared.
He looked around. He was in some study, one like the millions of others in this mansion. He scanned the room, and found the door, and hesitantly opened it. Just a dark hallway. Pence sighed, and looked at the camera. Maybe it would transport him back…? Or maybe he'd be able to find someone else?
The brunet shrugged, and closed his eyes and pressed the button as if to take a picture, unsure of where he would end up next.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
So, there was much shonen ai or fluffiness, but I tried my best to bring everyone a little closer together instead of all seperately running around lol.
Things might move a little bit fast next chapter, but I promise it'll be a good thing :).
This chapter wasn't amazing, at least for a one year wait, but R&R if you can please!
Thank you! ^-^
