The Temptress – Chapter 23
"I suppose the lesser nobodies may come in time… that is if the nobodies think she is worthy enough to be in control of them" Saix drawled on
Keixko kept looking at each member as they clucked on and on like mother hens about her. She looked over at Charmx who didn't seem the slightest bit interested in what everyone was saying; in fact she was staring at her own leopard like fight and wiggling each toe to see if she could make each one move without moving the others. She looked over at mullet boy who'd also lost the capacity to concentrate and was playing with his sitar. She noted that he was seen as the least intelligent of the group, however he was probably powerful. Saix was obvs the brown-noser. Axel was the guy who thought he was a total badass. Roxas was the angsty whiney one. Marluxia was the one who spoke in riddles and looked like a compulsive liar, she knew this because she was a bit of a liar herself when it came down to it. Xigbar was just… well, what else could she say? Luxord was the one who took everyone's munny and had 'math' smarts. Charmx looked like she was intelligent. How would she even fit in here? She was the drunken singer who'd probably die within a week or something. And what even were these lesser nobodies anyway?
"Vexen, take them to the lab and get them checked over" the leader barked.

She woke up looking at a white ceiling; she was laid on something hard and cold. She ached slightly and lifted a hand to rub her eyes… but she couldn't, it was tied down. She looked down at her wrists and saw them strapped down to some sort of table. She looked over to her right and saw Charmx staring at her.
"What even is this?" she asked Keixko.
"I don't fucking know" she sighed.
"I'll kill that blond old man when I get my claws on him" she said benignly but in a calm manner.
She looked over to her left at the walls, they were covered in drawings and diagrams of what looked like people. There were calculations that Keixko couldn't figure out and other stupid stuff that looked like the kind of crap she would see at school in the science quarters.
"I don't mean to be funny, but what is actually wrong with these people? I just want to go home and get in bed" Keixko whinged
"I miss the Pride Lands"
"There. This is what I mean. What the fuck is the Pride Lands?"
"Were you not educated at all?"
"I'll have you know I got a C in drama at school"
"Figures. Pride Lands is one of the worlds."
"I give up" Keixko laughed, Charmx smirked back.
"Where is this stupid man anyway?" Charmx growled.
"I feel like I'm on some sort of kinky bondage table" Keixko squawked, laughing.
"What's that?" Charmx demanded.
Keixko drew her eyes away from the walls covered in drawings.
"Bondage is like… I dunno. Look it up in a book or somethin'" she answered.
"Oh…" Charmx answered, not really paying attention. She was too busy trying to pull her legs out the trap. Which were also tied down.
Situations like these made Keixko uncontrollably giggly. Whenever she was in trouble she couldn't help but laugh, it was some sort of issue she had. Her brother used to just call it 'brat disease'.
"Did you know you were gonna get caught?" Keixko asked, watching Charmx struggle.
She immediately stopped and looked over at her.
"Yes… they'd been following me for about a year. I'd been in hiding for a while, but they lured me out…"
"With what?"
"Fish. It's my favourite food…"
"Not really a fan of fish"
"What about you?" Charmx ignored her last comment.
"Dunno, I was walking home and then BAM" she shouted that part, "I woke up and found myself here!"
"So nothing before that"
"Well… yeah. I'd noticed some dodgy stuff going on. I already knew that red haired one, and I'd seen mullet boy, eye-patch man and gambler in the place I work. Oh yeah and that pink haired one" she was wondering why they hadn't pursued her as much as Charmx, she was a much easier target and wouldn't have been hard to take out.
"How irritating, I hate being followed"
"I didn't know for a while, I just didn't like them when I saw them. I knew they were dodgy. Some of them are proper hotties though. Yum"
"You're so bizarre" Charmx looked slightly disgusted.
Just then Vexen barged through the door looking at some papers, paying no attention to them.
"Excuse me, but when can we get out. I need a piss" Keixko said casually.
Vexen looked above his papers at her and looked like he was about to answer but hesitated and looked back down at the papers.
"I'll sing"
"I'll claw your face out"
"I'll cry"
"I'll kill you"
"I'll scream"
The two girls threatened.
"Keixko!" shouted Vexen.
"Yes?" she giggled, he reminded her of a teacher or something, one which she took great pleasure winding up.
"Have you ever felt something… different... some days?"
"No" she lied.
"Well from my analysis, you have some sort of darkness inside you. We might be able to remove it, if you behave yourself"
"Oh"
"And as long as you fight with us for Kingdom Hearts" he looked at her sceptically
"Alright"
Vexen looked shocked at her quick reply.
"Will I die from it; do I need to go to hospital?"
"No… no you won't" Vexen rolled his eyes and looked through some papers and placed Keixko's on a metal table near where she was laid.
"You are a very strong candidate Charmx, you will do well here"
"Drop dead" she answered
Keixko peered over at her papers; they were charts and all sorts of things. Personality traits, graphs showing her brain activity or something. "Light to Dark fluctuation" she thought. It didn't look like the sign of a healthy person that's for sure.
"And that's the end of that" Vexen barked, "and Keixko, these aren't for you" he snatched the papers from the table and fed them into some sort of machine. Another person entered, he had sort of blue hair but really pale. He was cute… in an emo way. Keixko looked over at Charmx and raised her eyebrows. Charmx scowled, but couldn't help but smirk.
