Chapter 17: Just When You Thought It Was Okay
Rexial laid back in her bed and closed her eyes.
She hadn't had much sleep or rest in nearly two days from all that was going on. She sighed in contentment before a sudden prickly sensation went through her.
"Tsuin?" she questioned, opening one eye. She lay there for awhile before getting up and going through her bathroom door. It was joint to Tryxel's room.
She slowly opened the door and peaked in to see her hugging her pillow, clearly having a moment.
"TSUIN!" Rexial squealed and attacked the unsuspecting girl.
Tryxel screamed before realizing who was clinging to her.
"Tsuinnn!" she yelled back.
"Where were you? We were so worried!" Rexial asked.
"I've been to hell and back! I was so lost!" Tryxel replied in mock dispair.
"At least you're back and well." Rexial said and Tryxel nodded.
"I suppose I should tell the others I've found my way back before I pass out. So tired."
The two girls walked out of the room immediately attacked by Marluxia.
"Oh thank GOODNESS you're back!" he yelled dramatically, squeezing the black haired girl. "You don't know how worried I was! I though you'd died or something! It would have been MY fault!"
"Marluxia? Uh, can't really… breath." Tryxel forced out between breaths.
"Oh sorry." the pink haired man let go, still looking relieved. "But you're back! This is amazing."
"Hey, has anyone seen-" the redhead walked into the corridor scratching his head and stopped short. "Tryx! Hey! You made it back in one piece!" Axel said happily.
"Yea, got lost but, I made it." she responded with a smile, especially after noticing her Tsuin's blush once he entered the room.
"This is great." Axel smiled then turned his head slightly to the side. "One returns and another goes missing. Man oh man. Kingdom Hearts can we get a break?"
"Axel, what are you mumbling?" the curly haired girl asked. Axel turned back quickly.
"Oh nothing. Just that Roxas confusion." he answered casually with a shrug.
"Roxas?" Marluxia asked.
"Kidnapped?" Tryxel asked for confirmation.
"Well, he broke his ankle. He couldn't just get up and leave so yep, kidnapped." Axel responded while nodding.
"Great. Now what. I do not feel like hunting. He'll find his way back." Rexial waved it off.
"Rex! How nice." Tryxel giggled as Rexial shrugged.
"We have to find him Rex." Axel said in a near whine, expression almost hurt.
"I was just kidding." Rexial mumbled.
"Maybe Vexen took him to analyze his ankle. I'll go check." Marluxia said, portalling out of the hallway.
"I better go tell the others I'm back." Tryxel said, beginning to walk off.
"Don't forget to report to Xemnas." Rexial called after her.
He stood in the center of the Dark City.
Rain poured down all over him as he stood there, staring blankly ahead.
He was so confused.
So, so confused.
What was he doing outside?
A great pain flashed through his head.
He screamed out, clutching both sides of his head, slumping to the ground.
Something was wrong with him.
Then again, when wasn't there?
Rexial wandered into the kitchen area of the castle, peaking to make sure no one was in there.
The Superior had a strict rule about eating from the kitchen without permission. One so strict, it seemed that he didn't want anyone to eat at all.
But the newcomer didn't care. She was hungry and was going to get food. Rules or not.
"Hey Rexial."
Said girl spun around to see Roxas sitting at the kitchen table in the dim light.
"What the hell? Aren't you supposedly hurt? I knew you were faking…" Rexial said, opening the cupboard.
"Hey, I didn't fake anything. I just healed quicker than expected." the blonde responded, coming over to her.
Rexial ignored him until she reached up to the top shelf, beginning to feel uncomfortable by his presence.
"Could you like, leave please? Or sit back down?" she asked.
"Oooh. A polite girl…" Roxas wrapped an arm around her waist, "I like."
Rexial elbowed him in the side causing him to double over. The boy started to feel like he was burning.
"I've been around Axel a lot. You should've figured out that I love to be burned." he smirked.
Rexial glared, dropping her powers. Roxas' smirk only increased. The girl slapped him hard across the face and stormed out of the kitchen while Roxas just laughed like a manic.
