(Acacia's head on keyboard in despair, making lots of random letters on the screen)

Roxas: If your wondering why she's like this, it's cause she didn't get any reviews last chapter.

Namine: Yeah, absolutely no motivation to write.

Roxas: Reason it took so long.

Namine's POV

Roxas finished his sandwich and told me what happened while I pulled off his muddy sneakers.

When he finished, I raised my eyebrows and said, "Really? Cutting yourself in a cavern with a coven of vampires to lure mermaids?"

He chuckled. "Yeah, I guess it sounds crazy."

"More than crazy. Try adding plain out stupid." I helped him out of his jacket. "But please don't take any more nutty risks." I fingered the hem of my mini-skirt.

"I'll try, but I can't make any promises." he rested his hand at the nape of my neck, "And don't ya have to take those nutty risks too?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"What does your t-shirt say? You're covering part of it." he said, leaning over.

"'Lovely world, too bad people mess it up with pollution'." he laughed.

"Sadly, that's very true." he leaned forward and kissed me. I slightly angled my head to deepen the kiss.

The door swung open. We both jumped, clearly wasn't expecting that to happen. In the doorway were Sora, Kairi, and Riku. Sora was dancing around the room with Kai staring at him. Riku joined in on Sora's dance. "What happened?" I asked.

Kai answered, "An explosion in all the chemistry labs. The only wing that wasn't effected was the elementary wing. So we're taking an extra vacation," her attention turned back to Sora and Riku, "But we are having to stay longer at the end of the school year."

The dancing two stopped, "What!"

"You heard me. Oh, and we just leave our stuff here. Only take what you need for the trip. Everybody has to be gone by tomorrow morning."

Roxas stood up, "When we leavin'?"

"Seven PM."

"Ya' coulda' told us before there was only thirty minutes left!"

"That's the fun of it!" Roxas and Sora started packing. Kairi, Riku, and I raced to our rooms to do the same.

"Sorry about interrupting." Kairi said while placing a purple top in her duffle bag.

"Huh?" My mind flashed to the kiss, "Oh, that's alright."

How did I become be the last person to find out about this? We finished our packing and ran to the lot. We ended up being the last ones to show up. We started discussing who was riding with who immediately. "We all know Sora and Kai are riding with Riku since they're all over in Destiny Islands. Nam, you'll be riding with me and Roxas since we'll be drivin' through Twilight Town. Okay, lets go!"

We all looked at each other then at Ven. He opened his mouth to say something, but Axel came running up, and by the look on his face, it was something that was really good news, or something really funny just happened. "Hey guys!" he was jumping from foot to foot. Yeah, real mature, Axel. "Guess who-"

"Got a flushie?"

"No."

"Got turned into a seahorse?"

"No!"

"Got devamped?"

"Yes! Yes!" He started singing in a loop. That's when I noticed Xion glaring at me among the cars.

"Guys, lets go." my eyes never leaving icy gaze.

Axel's face went dead serious. "Oh, and one more thing, the vampire king was killed in a surprise attack last night." I raised my eyebrows. This was both good news and bad meant Xion was gonna have her coronation tonight and had all these armies at her disposal. She could wage a war that could destroy this delicate secret society! We don't want to see another witch trials period in time.

My hand reached into my weapons bag and searched for the hilt of my gun. I don't care who sees me. If she's being crowned queen tonight, the danger is greater than before. This is to stop it before it starts. Roxas realized what I was doing and grabbed my wrist. My gaze broke from Xions and met his. I stopped searching and pulled my hand out of my bag.

Roxas gasped and tightened his grip. My attention went to his hand. The seal's markings spread further and wrapped around his fingers. I hate seeing this. To end it is to either kill Xion or keep him safe till Halloween is over. I'd prefer the killing method. I snapped out of my thoughts when Roxas tugged my wrist and pulled me towards the car.

Xion's POV

I sat on the hood of Saix's mustang and watched them pack up. I was eavesdropping, yes, but they didn't get the whole story. King Xemnas, was not the only person who died. He was working with the allie's leaders, only two guards. The attackers were three assassins and six slayers, Terra and Aqua, Tifa, Wakka, and I think the others were called Hazel, Leon, Lawrence, and Katlyn. Among those killed were Pete, the werewolf emperor, Maleficent, the demon lady, Xigbar, the goblin king, Larxene, the gorgon empress, and Xaldin, the zombie lord. Saix is the heir to the werewolf throne, and is being coroneted with me.

Bad, I've hardly any training for this, and Axel was no longer a vamp. Good, I could make a larger advance on getting Roxas, and I can get that warrant off of Axel's head.

"Xion, are you ready to leave?" Saix said behind me.

"Yeah." my eyes followed the ferrari out of the parking lot, then got in the passenger side.

The reason I never reported Axel, or tried to kill him since that warrant was placed was because he was a great brother to me. Yeah, sure, we had our differences, but I couldn't ask for a better one. I've even redirected some bounty hunters. The point was because he was happy. Though he's now human, and doesn't support the idea of me turning Roxas, I'll still protect him.

I hope I never have to turn myself against him in battle. And that I could turn Roxas peacefully.

Ven's POV

We were about halfway back to Twilight Town when Namine grabbed her phone to call her mom. "Hey mom." "I was just calling to tell you that I was coming home for an early vacation, and that I'll be there in a couple hours." "No, there was an explosion in all the chem labs." "Wait, what!" she dropped the phone. Roxas, who was in the back with her, picked it up and put it on speaker.

"-told you sweetie, I'm selling the house in Twilight Town and moving the family to Venezuela. Also that I'm transferring you to a school there."

"No!" Nam said, her voice shaky.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"No! I'm not moving with you! Ever since dad died, you've neglected me. I knew you went on vacations along with the business trips! You'd do whatever it takes to be away from me! I bet you're just doing this to get even further from me!"

"W-well, I guess that's true. Fine. Live with some friends. Get a tattoo, dye you're hair green, get pregnant! See if I care!"

"Bye, you stinkin' whore!" she yelled and snapped the phone shut. In the mirror, I could see Namine had her head in her hands, and Roxas had pulled her close, rocking her back and forth. Pretty soon they were both asleep. It was late, but when we get to Nam's we'll crash there for the night and grab what Namine wants to take with her, then head the rest of the home.

In the neighborhood I honked the horn to wake them up. They both jumped up, startled. "Hey Nam, which way to your house?"

Namine rubbed her eyes before answering, "Take the first left, then second right, and start looking house 40598." I followed her directions and stopped at a corner townhouse.

"Okay! Here we are. Namine, we'll be all crashin' here for tonight. Grab the clothes ya' have in there along with some stuff. You'll just start livin' wit' us."

Nam's face lit up. Roxas jumped out of the car and ran to the door, followed by Namine and I.

Unknown POV

"Getting them all outta school? Success!"

"Good, these new plans are working well. The assassination of the vampire king and his allies, the new leaders will be like little puppets if we catch them. Axel is now human and now working with the VHO. This is perfect."

The third person spoke up, "When the CIA told us to pick people to watch to bring down the VHO, we chose well. What's next?"

Roxas and Namine: Please review!
