"Hey nine!" Xigbar was bothering Reno, again. He seemed to take great joy in pestering the red-head.
"The names Axel, got it memorized?" Reno snarled irritably. He hated his name, but he hated his number more. Being below someone as clumsy as Demyx was degrading as hell and he took it as a personal insult. It was better than when he was under the alcoholic idiot Luxord, but not by much.
"Yeah sure whatever, have you seen Saïx?" Xigbar plunked Reno on the forehead, trying to rouse him from the ledge that had become his spot.
"Never seen the man in my life." Reno chuckled, "Try again later, I might decide to recognize him the next time he passes me while trying to avoid you."
"He's not avoiding me!" Xigbar whined, hands on his hips.
"Whatever." Reno shrugged. It was common knowledge that Saïx was trying to get rid of Xigbar, Larxene was hanging on him enough and offering him enough sex to make him eager to dump the clingy sniper. Elena had taken a new personality with her new name and had begun whoring herself out to anyone who seemed likely to take her. It had been a long time since Reno had thought of her by her real name, her new lifestyle so very different from the sweet and mild-mannered Elena he remembered.
"You're a bastard Axel, ya know that?" Xigbar stomped off in a huff.
"Wrong way Xigbar." Reno sniggered, enjoying Xigbar's anger as much as a Nobody could.
Xigbar spun around, "You said you hadn't seen him!"
"I lied." Reno shrugged, standing up. As much as he enjoyed watching Xigbar fume he liked seeing Saïx cringe more, he knew exactly where the blue-haired man was and exactly what, or whom, he was with.
"Well where is he?" Xigbar stomped up to Reno, hands on his hips.
"I'll be nice and take ya to him." Reno started walking, "Don't get used to the courtesy."
"No worries there." Xigbar snorted, following the moody red-head at a distance.
Reno walked into the training room, a smile on his face as he saw exactly what he had been hoping to find. "Yo Saïx, why you suckin' face on Larxene?"
Saïx and Larxene looked up, horror written plainly on their faces as they tried to cover themselves. Xigbar stood behind Reno, mouth gaping open, "You cheating asshole!"
"Axel you bastard! I told you not to tell him!" Saïx glared daggers at Reno.
"Didn't tell him, I showed him." Reno sniggered, shoving Xigbar forward and leaving the room with a sloppy salute, "I'll leave you guys alone to clean up this mess."
"How could you do this to me Saïx? And with her! She's the group whore!" Xigbar screamed, pulling a gun out of thin air and aiming it and the quickly dressing pair.
"What did you call me?" Larexene shouted as Reno left the room, laughing loudly. He heard gun shots and the wonderful crackle of electricity as chaos erupted in the room behind him.
"Axel." Reno spun around, pulling a chakram out of the air.
Reno relaxed, "Oh, Superior." He let his weapon fade back into nothingness, "What can I do for you?"
Xemnas strode up to him, "I need you to pick someone up for me."
"Pick someone up?" Reno scratched his head, confused. Usually he was being asked to kill people, not deliver them. At least, not deliver them alive.
"A new nobody, the keybearer has just turned into a heartless. His nobody is our next member." Xemnas smirked arrogantly.
"And you're having me pick him up?" Reno raised an eyebrow.
"This mission will get you your next rank. I know you hate being under Demyx." Xemnas humphed patronizingly.
Reno grinned, "You know me too well. Where can I find him?"
"Hallow Bastion. The keybearer's friends are still there. Don't alert them to your presence." Xemnas warned sternly.
Reno pulled a vortex up behind his back and faded through it, "Don't worry about it, I got it memorized!"
