Elaxveri's P.O.V
Blearily opening my eyes, I noticed that I was now in my room. Staring about the familiar surroundings, the white sheets, grey wallpaper, matching carpet, and wooden desk, I tried to remember how in the world I ended up laying here. Blinking hard, I scan through my memories. Coming back from the mission, going in the grey room, that strange man touching me, Luxord coming in, and… and… damn it! I smack the bed in frustration. Was that it? Did I just pass out. Sitting up, I sway back and forwards a bit. Oh, my head hurts.
"Good morning, sleepy head!" Xion sings from the door way. I stop swaying and hold my head, peering up for a second to acknowledge her.
"Still silent, mm? How long is this gonna last? Anyways, come on, you're gonna need a shower." She smiles, walking over and lifting my elbow up.
"Get up, Elaxveri…" She grumbled, still tugging on my elbow. I guess I should get up. I let go of my head and pulled myself to my feet, but ended up falling heavily on Xion, when everything started moving again.
"Oof!" Xion wheezed, stumbling backwards into the wall. Supporting my weight, she lifted me up so now she was holding me under one arm, the other around the front of my waist.
"Not feeling good today, are we?" She asked, moving her arm from around my wasit and placing a hand on my forehead. I shook my head.
"I felt that way too after I first used my keyblade. You'll get your energy back in no time. It takes a lot of strength to use your weapon for the first time." Xion smiled warmly, putting her hand back around my waist. She started to drag me out of the room, grabbing my cloak as she went. Wait, then what was I wearing? Looking down, I noticed I was now in an oversized plain white long sleeved shirt, which went down to my mid thighs. How in the hell did I get in this? Maybe… maybe Xion put it on me? Hm. I stopped walking and looked at Xion.
"What?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. I pointed at my shirt, attempting to ask her who put it on.
"That's a shirt, sweetie." She laughed, attempting to walk again. I pointed at it again, then mimicked getting it on.
"You want… to take your shirt off?" I shook my head, eyebrows furrowing in frustration. I did the same thing, I shrugged my should as if to say "I don't know."
"Oh! You want to know how you got that on." I nodded quickly, making sure that she knew she was right.
"It's Zexions'. Just don't tell him. He's the only one who leaves his door unlocked at night, and you needed to sleep in something besides that coat. So I took it." She whispered, glancing up and down the hall. I let her continue walking, half supporting me. I wonder… I raise my free arm, sniffing the sleeve curiously. Ya, it had that same scent. Just like Zexion, but what was it called?
"Sweetie, why are you sniffing that?" She asked kindly, lowering my arm. I smiled, and raised it again for her to sniff.
"Mm. Smells like cinnamon." She inhaled, putting her face at my arm. So that's what it was called? Cinnamon. I like cinnamon, I figured. I tugged my arm down again and buried my nose in it. Xion laughed.
"You're so cute, you know that? Anyways, we're here." She opened a door into a room with three thin metal walls, about a metre and a half apart from the others, not quite touch the floor, and about halfway to the ceiling. There was a door on each one, with a tiny lock on the inside. The doors were marked XII, XIV, and XV
"Taking a shower isn't very hard. I know you probably don't want me in there with you, and I don't want to go in with you." She laughed again, closing the grey door behind us when we walked in.
"So, basically, XV is your shower room. XII is Larxenes', don't even breathe near it, she'll kill you, and XIV is mine. To start the shower, just flick the little handle on the far wall. You should get undressed before you shower, to. There's a small white bar on a ledge in the room, long with a fairly big black bottle and razor. You rub the white bar on your body to get out the dirt. The black bottle is for your hair, to clean it. You just pour a small amount in your hand, and rub it through your hair, making sure you get the liquid from the bottle all over your hair. The razor… well, you push it downwards on your armpits, and make sure all the little stubs of hair are gone. You'll probably have to that each time you go for a shower. Do the same thing with your shins and calves, but don't push too hard, or you'll break the skin. You only want the hairs gone. Oh, one last thing you really probably need to know. If you start bleeding between your legs, from a "certain" area, just tell me. Ok? The moment you notice it, either find me, and if you can't, put toilet paper in your underwear until you can. You don't want to be bleeding everywhere." She laughed again, and walked out, leaving me to shower in peace. I pulled of the over sized shirt and my underwear, taking one last sniff of the shirt before throwing it on the floor. Standing in the middle of the room like that, I start to shiver violently, suddenly realizing how cold it was. I sprinted over to my stall and closed the door, hoping it'll be warmer in there. It isn't. Maybe the water will be warm? I push the steel handle upwards, praying to Nobodie that the water would be warm. It takes a second for the water to come out, but when it does it is warm, hot even, and is hitting me full blast. I stop shivering and sit on the floor, letting the water wash over me. It falls in small droplets down my hair, over my face, riding down my chest, tracing the curves and lines before slipping off the sides and falling on the floor, only to be drained into a small metal grate. I watch the water contentedly for awhile, before remembering what Xion said. I stood up carefully, to make sure I wouldn't sleep. Walking over to the side, I picked up the small bar from the ledge and stared at it. It was… square. And white. And smelt like… a sort of flower. I knew what flowers smelt like, that pink haired man kept a bunch of them in his room, and every time I walked by I would get a whiff of it. But what type of flower? Ah, oh well. I carefully slid the bar up and down my arm, making sure it wouldn't hurt, then continued with the rest of my body. Now I smelt like a flower. Interesting. Placing the soap back on the ledge, I grab for the handle of the razor. Wait, which way was I supposed to hold it? That can't be the handle, it's sharp, so maybe the other side? Yup, that side wouldn't be able to pull off the hair, anyway. Gross. Raising my arm, I placed the razor in the little soft area between the chest and arm, and slid it down, wincing when I accidentally pushed too hard. I pushed a bit softer, and when I took the razor out, the flesh was pale, no sign of hair, save for a small cut where I pushed the razor too hard. I did the same thing under my other arm, then sat down and glided the razor over my shins and calves. There, was that all I had to do? No, I still had to clean my scalp. I put the razor away and grabbed the bottle, squirting a little onto my hand. I stepped further out of the water and rubbed the liquid through my head, smiling when I saw all the little bubbles form around my fingers. Could my hair really make bubbles? Naw, it must be that liquid. It has to be magic! It can clean my hair and make bubbles. And, for added bonus, it smells like… that fruit… I had at dinner… what was it called? A peach, yes. It also disappears when I put my head under water! That's… amazing. I rinsed my hair out when I was done lathering it on and turned the handle back down. The water shut off instantaneously, and I suddenly felt cold again. I ran out of the stall, wet burgundy hair whipping around my neck, to grab my undergarments and cloak, hastily throwing them on. I got the undergarments on OK, but the cloak seemed to have gotten stuck near the chest, revealing most of my legs. The arm holes were above my head, and I seem to have twisted it. I try and pull it off again, to no avail. Struggling mercilessly with the black material for a couple of minutes, I decided to just go find Xion. I felt my way over to the door, since all I could see at the moment was the inside of my cloak. The hallway was cold, and I shivered when the air hit my damp legs. Damn it. I stumbled around the hallway, not quite sure where I was going, figuring that if I ran into somebody, they would at least help me to my room.
"Erm… Is that… Is that number XV?" A male voice asked, sounding only a few feet away.
"Yup." A slightly deeper voice replied, sounding slightly behind the other man.
"What's she doing? Is she stuck?" The first male voice asked again, his voice on the edge of laughter. I stopped walking and turned around to what I hoped was their direction, praying that it wasn't that blue haired man. Maybe I should have thought this out better. But… it didn't sound like the blue haired man.
"We should really help her." The second voice said, and I felt the two of them twisting and pulling at my cloak, before I fell into place and slid down my head. Hastily shoving my arms through the sleeves, I hugged each of them as thanks.
"She's either trying to seduce us, or just stupid enough to get stuck in her cloak. I think she's just stupid." A blonde man with a sitar laughed, beside the man with pink hair. The man with the flowers!
"Haha, so, I assume you just came out of the shower?" The pink haired man inquired, eyes wandering up and down me, like he was seizing me up.
"Well, of course, Marluxia. Why even ask? She's dripping wet and smells like lavender. And peaches. Actually, that's a nice combination. Why don't our soaps have scents?" The blond pouted, gazing up at the taller man. The taller man had straight, layered pink hair down to his shoulders, with piercing blue eyes, almost like Roxas'. He carried a slight floral aroma with him, and had chiseled features. A strong jaw line, straight nose, and thin lips. The blonde had an odd hairdo. It was almost sticking straight up at the top, but was straight near the bottom, the straight hairs at the bottom only reaching just below his shoulders, give or take a half inch. He had sea green eyes, tinted blue. He was carrying an aquamarine sitar around with him, and had rough, calloused hands. He was smiling brightly, and reminded me of the little children I saw running around, before the silver haired man, Xemnas, took me here. The other man wasn't smiling as brightly, it was only a half smile, one side of his lips twitching upwards.
"It did. It still does, you just seem to have gotten used to it. Remember? You bought some scented soaps at twilight town, moron." The pink haired man, Marluxia, chuckled, resting his gaze on the small XV and Nobody symbol tattoo just below my neck. Curiously, how did that get there? I've had it since my first day here (Wasn't that yesterday? Wow.) but don't remember putting it on. Mm. The blonde pouted again, but smiled when he heard Marluxia laughing.
"I'm glad your back in good spirits, Marly! You were so grouchy for the past couple of days." The blonde commented, tugging on one of the strings on his guitar.
"Demyx, just 'cause I'm not grouchy, doesn't mean I will tolerate that nickname."
"But I like it!"
"You want me to call you 'Dem-Dem'?"
"Actually, that'd be ok-"
"Never mind. Just do not call me that.
"Kay." Demyx sighed, giving me a quick …hug, and walking away, throwing Marluxia an angry glance. I cringed at the touch, remembering Saix.
"Don't worry about him, he's just affectionate." Marluxia smiled. It was like he read my mind! Oh no, wait, I visibly cringed. Duh. He's going to figure that out.
"And gay, if that calms you any!" Marluxia threw his head back, laughing. I smiled, not quite sure what he meant. He must have realized something; because he suddenly stopped laughing and looked at me curiously.
"You don't know what I mean, do you?" I shook my head in apology.
"Well, this is going to be a tad awkward to explain. Well, you see, this world, or humans, mostly, have partners. Most partners are a girl and a boy. Like… er… If Axel and Xion were partners. They aren't though, Axel really loves Roxas. That would be considered gay. See, boys and girls are different genders, so they can make babies together. They're considered a "normal" couple. But when a boy loves a boy, or a girl loves a girl, it's called "Gay" or for girls, "lesbians", because they can't reproduce with the one they love, since they are the same gender. Reproduce means to have a child." Marluxia explained slowly, arching an eyebrow when he saw the frustrated look on my face. I wish I could arch my eyebrow!
"What is it, XV?" He asked. Well, I wish I could say something. I shook my head and raised my shoulders, as if to say, 'Nothing."
"Alright, then. I'll be on my way. Well, wait! Would you like to see my garden?" He asked, smiling. This scared me a little, since the smile did not quite reach his eyes. He also looked a little… insane… at the moment. What the hell is with these organization people? I was about to nod yes, when Xaldin came down the hallway.
"XV, I am no longer your guide. Xemnas has decided it would be better for Luxord to show you around." He stated, throwing a curious glance at Marluxia, who looked a little miffed. I nodded, a bit confused. Why did Xemnas suddenly decide to change my guide?
"No, there was no reason for the change. I just do not wish to train you anymore, and Xemnas has decided Luxord would be more suitable for you. He can better understand your skills." Xaldin continued, rolling his eyes when he said 'skills'. Well, thanks a ton, Xaldin.
"Meet Luxord in the grey room. You two will be going to wonderland today." Xaldin turned around and walked away, headed towards his room. Marluxia looked happy again, as thought that curious moment of anger never happened.
"Well, I don't want to be in your way any longer. Go off on your mission, good luck. I expect to see you soon enough." Marluxia chuckled, walking off in the opposite direction that Xaldin went. Darn, I wanted to see his garden. It always smells so pretty! I should be heading to the grey room now. My black leather boots squeaked a little when they walked across the marble tiles. There really was nothing to see. The walls were almost spotless, and the ceiling was so high up I wasn't even sure if there was a ceiling. It was all so white, and grey. It was a bit freaky, to be honest. The windows in the grey room were nice, at least. That odd, heart shaped orb always floated in the sky, appearing to glitter sometimes, when it was well into the night and very dark, not just semi-dark, like it is now.
"Elaxveri! How are you, luv? Today, we have a mission in wonderland! Come on!" Luxord nearly sang, jumping up and down with glee. I smiled, Luxord was being very foolish.
"Luxord, you really should calm down." Zexion sighed from the sofa, turning a page in his book.
"Ya, Lux. It's so creepy there, I don't even know why you like it. Ugh." A girl with slicked back blonde hair, with bangs that were pulled high and pushed backwards, almost like a cockroaches antennae shuddered.
"Just 'cause it's too cheery there for you, Super Bitch, doesn't mean everyone has to hate it!" Demyx snapped from beside Zexion. Luxord, …erm…Super Bitch, and Zexion all turned and stared at him. Demyx blushed.
"What?" He asked, obviously confused.
"You never get angry, or swear, even. What's with you?" Luxord asked, raising an eyebrow. Why can't I do that?
"Yes, Demyx. What the hell?" 'Super Bitch' glared at the blonde man.
"Larxene, just leave him be." Zexion said nonchalantly, idly flipping another page. I wonder… I wonder when I'll be able to read?
"Stay out of it, Zexion!" Larxene spat, focusing her glare on the slate haired teen.
"Come on, let's go. This will get nasty." Luxord whispered, grabbing my arm and pulling me through a portal.
