Chapter 5: Meet the Locals

As Xigbar journeyed farther into the jungle, his breathing was becoming uneven and overused.

'Damn Xemnas,' he huffed mentally, 'You're heavy.'

He then felt that it was safe enough to rest for a bit, gently placed Xemnas slouching against a thick tree and rested next to his friend. As he catched his breath he looked at Xemnas and comprehended how cute he looked when unconscious.

This made him think of all those times he watched Xemnas' Somebody, Xehanort, sleep upon his bed or desk from a long night of studying. Aww yes, those were the days; back then he could freely express whatever feeling he felt like showing & didn't have to fake it. With a happy face, Braig would sit there watching him until his couldn't keep his brown eyes open. Kept going on until Xehanort found it uncomfortable for Braig to be staring at him at & told Master Ansem about it. Ansem then afterwords forbad Braig to stay inside of Xehanort's room after sleeping hours; but that didn't stop Braig, no it never did.

Yup those were the good old days. But in those days Xehanort wasn't so tall and didn't have a well tone body. He then fantasized the Superior's handsome features and Pop! Xigbar shook his head with fists clenched to his face, thinking, 'Okay he's improved with his appearance but he's still the same cold bastard that he always been to me! Even when we were still somebodies, he was always mean to me.'

Braig didn't mind it though when Xehanort scowled at him. It was cute and it always made him sure that Xehanort liked him. But nowadays, it just seems that all he cares about is getting those hearts for his new world.

'Fuck this!' the Freeshooter thought. He didn't ask to be a Nobody and didn't ask Xehanort to make him into a Nobody. He then immediately thought why was he complaining about this now? This isn't normal for any Nobody to think with their heart. Only with their mind and body; this is was getting weird and might of thought it was the atmosphere that was making him think these fuzzy thoughts. He looked over his shoulder again and looked at Xemnas' face. He noticed Xemnas' rich succulent lips and thought, 'Damn, they're sexy.'

II knew he shouldn't do what he was about do but decide to do it anyway because he was that crazy. Plus Xemnas was asleep. Xigbar then slowly lean over Xemnas & inched close to face for a sweet taste of Xemnas' lips. Suddenly a rustle from the bushes reached Xigbar's acute ears and he quickly summoned up his airguns. He aimed his guns at the bushes, waiting for movement. He quickly stood in front of Xemnas and crossed his arms over each other. The first rustle; BANG! There went the first shot of his crystalized bullets. Silent returned to the field and was broken by Xigbar, "Hey dude… I know you're out there. Show yourself coward!"

A black being jumped out of the bushes into the air. II immediately shot multiple bullets at the beast & saw what looked like a Heartless with yellow electricity flashing through its body. It had a spiked head, sharp teeth, long sword-like hands, with no lower body. It grinned at Xigbar with such malice it almost made the Freeshooter shiver in fear. It attacked by slashing the air with its arms and send thick lines of yellow energy at him. Xigbar quickly grabbed Xemnas and tuck & rolled to his left. He began firing his bullets at the creature again. One of the crystals land dead on the creatures chest and it disappeared like a normal Heartless. No heart came out of the electric beast. Damn! He was almost hoping it was one of those purebred type Heartless'. But he also noticed another one crawling out of the dark bushes, then another, and another, and another, and another; until the whole jungle gave off a subtle glow off the creatures.

Xigbar looked all around himself and realized he was surrounded and there was no way out of it except fighting them. Or he could escape with his life by summoning a Corridor of Darkness but then he would be leaving his precious leader. Anyway he would have to hope for the best and wing it. He quickly let go of Xemnas & stood in defense position in front of his immobile comrade. He then summoned multiple dark portals above the electric beasts head and was about to fire. Suddenly a voice from the distance yelled out a strange language and all the electrical creatures moved to the side. They straighten their hunched backs and stuck their chest out like military men. In between them, a tall being came walking down the empty row towards Xigbar.

As the being walked closer, the being was clearly a male with long straight blonde hair with two long straight locks of hair on each side of his head. He wore a pointed dark silk hat that draped over the back of his head, a black sleeveless overcoat with two black strap belts on each arm, black leather fingerless strap gloves, a black shirt and pants with a pair of black strap leather boot. He was tall, reedy but still muscular, with a proud stride of a king. As the young man strode closer, he showed to have fair skin, glossy black eyes, with no scars, no wounds, or wrinkles to reveal. The younger male looked at Xigbar with strange interest. But then again who wouldn't be at least curious of what two men in black coats be doing their neck of the woods.

The blonde male then stopped in front of Xigbar with a content smile and looked down on the Nobody. Xigbar was suspicious of the strange and backed away from him a bit. The blonde man then gently placed his hand under Xigbar's hand as he spoke, "I'm terribly sorry. They act like guard dogs for me. Just to ensure I don't… injure myself."

The blonde male then kneeled on one knee with his head lowered. Xigbar was a bit confused by the boy's actions and wonder if he was trying to strike him out. The next thing the man did surprised Xigbar, "As my show of apology I will gladly let you and your comrade, take shelter at my abode for as long as you want."

The blonde man lowered his head, closed his eyes and kissed the Xigbar's glove tip of his hands. Xigbar's cheeks then warmed up to a pinkish color with shock. He was never treated this nicely before. Like he was… a princess? Wait what? Anyway, the older male was slightly in shocked by the other man's action but remained in control of his emotions. He wasn't gonna let this stranger get the better of him. No way. As if!

The blonde male looked back to the creatures started talking to them in the strange language again. The younger male then got up and stared back at the older man with ensured smile, "Don't worry your friend will be safe."

Still holding onto the Nobody's hand, used his free hand to glide over Xigbar's smooth cheek. The Nobody then went into shock thinking, 'What the hell?!'

Two of the dark creatures then floated towards the unconscious Nobody. The freeshooter eyed the creatures with great concern but the blonde man rubbed his cheek again and said, "It's alright they won't hurt him, I promise."

Just as the creatures got closer, SNAP! Xemnas' eyes open, and he jumps into a crouching position. He summons his ethereal blades and spins them around to fend off the monsters. The blonde grabbed the shorter man's arms and pulled him away from the awakened tan man. He stared at him with great amazement. The lightening creatures backed off and hissed at him. Xemnas' eyes were stern and alert as huffed from the sudden tenseness in the air. Xigbar went to his Superior and said, "Bout time you woke up."

Xemnas looked at Xigbar with a more chillax look and stood up slowly. Xigbar said as he looked back the creatures & their master, "Don't worry boss man they aren't gonna bite us."

"Yes I was simply telling my men to help you up so you and your-." The stranger responded but was interrupted by Xemnas, "I have no interest in needing assistants. I was very capable of lifting myself up."

"Well I can see that," The stranger agreed. Xemnas then looked up and down the stranger and asked, "Who are you?"

The stranger answered, "My name is Zath, the Electric Wizard."

He then walked back to Xigbar and held his hands together. He then said to Xigbar, "But you may call me anything you want."

Xigbar, being weird out at this point, pulled away from Zath and said, "Uh~, Right~. Listen Zath, buddy, I appreciate that but we would like to get to that wonderful shelter you were just talking, hmm?"

"We do not have time for rest, we must find the other, come II," Xemnas ordered and began to walk off into the jungle. The Freeshooter gladly followed his Superior and commented, "Oops, sorry buddy."

The electric wizard narrowed his eyes at Xemnas waited for them to have their back to him. He then pointed his finger at the ground and sent an electrical current through the ground and directed up Xemnas' right leg. The Superior's calve nerves were going crazy and caused him to kneel in pain. Xigbar ran up to this leader with a worried face and asked, "Superior! You okay?"

"Looks like you haven't fully recovered yet," Zath implied as he smirks in victory. The King of Nobodies turned his head to the Electric Wizard with a scowling expression, "Yeah… I guess I didn't huh?"
