Acacia: Life's settling down and I'm able to update more! I already got ideas for future chapters.
Roxas: Yeah, I guess so. *Namine jumps onto Roxas from behind* What the-
*Acacia sweatdrops*
Namine: You don't have to explain anything to me. I've been watching you guys create TVT since he got here.
Acacia: How did we not find you!
Roxas:Well you have been going in and out of here a lot.
Acacia: Yeah, well you've been here a lot.
Namine: Guys! Storytime!
Acacia and Roxas: Oh.
Namine's POV
There's always somethin'. It was Thursday afternoon, and I was back at headquarters, along with Riku, Sora, and Kairi. Kiari won't stop looking at me with that worried expression, which is causing Sora to worry, which is causing Riku to... well nothing, just same old Riku.
Cloud has called an assembly that includes everyone with their hands in the organization. I stepped into the hall. We should've come early. The place was packed with people. At least we got in the room.
Cloud stepped up to the podium, he never liked having to make speeches, but it was mandatory. "I have something I must tell you all." The black-coats looked up, their expressions looking more serious. "For generations, the VHO's leaders have kept this secret. But now it seems as if we might collapse under every secret this organization has. This is an organization of secrets. But it's time we tell you of something that you've wondered about. The people in the black-coats. They're a specialized elite fighting force. They take care of all the other creatures while the assassins take care of vampires, they also occasionally take care of the extremely powerful vamps. We call them slayers. This secret has been revealed to you since there was too much distrust, and we had a secret too many. I am a slayer, but being in charge of an organization, I claimed to be an assassin. I guess that it is time for a change. You are dismissed."
The slayer closest too me had taken off her glasses and approached me. "Hello. I'm Hazel. I believe your name is Namine?"
"Uh... Yeah." Okay... She knows my name. Might as well see what she has to say about Ven and Roxas. "Do you know anyone by the the name of Ven or maybe... his little brother, Roxas?"
"Hmm. I worked with Ven when he was ten, haven't seen him since then. Though when he was with me, I think he might've mentioned something about a little brother. You know, I should see how Ven's been after these six years. Nice meeting you!" She let off a quick smile and went to talk to some other people.
"What was that about?" Sora said, coming up behind me. I shrugged.
"Probably the talkative type." Riku answered.
"How 'bout we check to see how Roxas and Ven are doing." They looked at me, confused, "Those people you carried into the infirmary yesterday."
"WHAT!" all three of them said, shocked.
"Yeah, we better get going!" Kairi said, starting to run towards the elevator. We started after her. In the elevator, we were lucky to get there before everyone else.
In a minute we were in the hospital room. Ven looked up from a video game he just happened to have. "Hey guys, what's with the rush?"
"Do you know about the revealance(my word!)?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, they televised it for those who couldn't get there."
"Is Roxas okay?" I asked, and I knew I sounded desperate.
"Yeah. We're waiting for him to wake up, but before we go back to campus, he's gonna get a load up on sugar to help replace lost blood."
"Question! What happened to your legs?" Riku asked. Both of Ven's legs were in casts.
"Oh, that. A troll crushed them when I was trying to get out of his grasp. Don't worry. I got a surgery to help speed up the healing."
"How long?"
"The beginning of October."
I slipped out while Riku and Ven were chatting. They switched to some game as their topic.
Roxas' POV
Am I dead? What happened back there? Why do I feel so weak? Heh, feel. Guess I am alive. Why did the weight of whatever I'm on just shift? I hope Ven's alright. He took a pretty big blow. I opened my eyes to see Nami in a white mini dress with a bowl of ice cream. I started to say something, but she put the spoon in my mouth. Hey, sea-salt! I don't really mind this. Though I still would like to know what's going on. Then I noticed that there were four others in the room, and they were laughing.
As soon as I swallowed the ice cream, I asked my first question. "What's going on?"
It was Namine who answered, "Cloud told the rest of VHO about slayers."
"Oh." My vision expanded a bit more. Ven was on something that I couldn't make out. Riku was at the footboard, Sora was messing with a TV remote, Kairi was telling him to just pick a channel.
"How's the seal?" Namine asked me.
"It feels a bit hotter than when I first got it. But Xion just took a drink." Namine shoved another spoonful into my mouth. "I can feed myself." She handed me the bowl.
"I don't care what Cloud's orders are anymore. I AM GONNA KILL HER." Everybody looked at her, shocked.
"Are you sure that's the right path?" Ven finally said. Leave it to Ven to make wise cracks at just the right moment.
"I'm not sure, and I don't care."
I couldn't watch this. "Nami, don't. Please. She may be a total bitch, but you should still see what this turns into. And I'm sure that Cloud's plan, whatever it is, will keep as many people possible alive. The forces around Xion are strong, and if I lost you in that attempt, I wouldn't be able to bear it. Stay for now."
I was finished with the ice cream now, and the nurse entered. "Okay, lets see how you're walking now." I got out of the bed, a bit wobbly. This must be like when you take your first steps. "Alright, you're fine. Here's a wheelchair for Ven. You are ready to leave."
Sora and Riku helped Ven into the wheelchair. The nurse left. In the lobby Ven stopped. "Wait, what about the cars? I really would like to keep the ferrari." Sora and Riku gave him one of those WTF looks. "The slayer thing was such a secret that we even changed out cars to keep from being recognized."
"WHAT! THAT IS SO NOT FAIR!" Riku shouted. Cloud was close enough to hear Ven's question.
"You keep the ferrari. I would say you earned it." Riku started hitting his head on a post while Ven was saying thank you over and over again. I watched the scene wondering who was driving. Ven couldn't operate the pedals with two casts, and Riku was the only other with a drivers liscense, but he had to drive his own car.
"Who's driving?" I asked. Riku stopped pounding and Ven stopped saying thank you, much to Cloud's relief.
"You got your permit, right?"
"Yeah, but you're not eighteen or older."
"You gotta love fake IDs."
"So I'm driving?"
"Yep!"
Axel's POV
"Axel!" My father, Xemnas, yelled through the halls. Gee, that quick? Better scram. I ran towards the exit. Wrong way! I bumped into him, and he was anything but happy. "Axel Hakirna, I disown you and I exile you! You are now a criminal to be killed on sight. You're lucky I'm letting you have a days head start. But this will make it more interesting."
"Well, bye!" I ran. Why's he giving me a head start? I guess he wants me to lead him to the VHO or Wakka. Too bad he's not getting that.
Unknown POV
"And what is the latest news?"
"Ven and Roxas are leaving the VHO and Ven is letting Roxas try the wheel. Slayers are no longer a secret to the rest of VHO. And Axel has been exiled."
"My. The only thing that didn't fall into place is slayers being revealed. We'll have to work on a new plan."
Acacia: Roxas and Namine are taking a walk around the neighborhood. I really don't like living in the suburbs. Well, c ya'! :D Roxas driving... wonder where that one for this story?
