Chapter 19: Operation: E.N.D.I.T
"So… you like Rexial too?" the dirty blonde asked the golden blonde. Roxas glared slightly.
"What do you mean by too?" he asked.
"Well, it's kind of obvious that Axel has a thing for her…" Demyx trailed off.
That's all he needed to hear.
Of course he did. And Rexial didn't seem to shy away from Axel either.
No, this couldn't do. Not at all.
He had to do something about it.
"Zexy~!"
Said slate-haired boy quickly retreated back into the library putting up an illusion that showed he wasn't there.
Tryxel walked into the library, looked right at him, and sighed.
"Zexion, why are you hiding from me?" she said. She reached out and touched him, breaking his illusion. He grunted in frustration.
"You are an evil entity. There is no way-" he started until Tryxel put a finger to his lips.
"The Superior wants to see you and me… you and I." she corrected herself which caused him to fight back a smile.
"May I ask why this was requested?" Zexion asked. Tryxel shrugged and lead the way to Xemnas' office.
Roxas glanced around the room.
It had been decorated in flames and whatnot. Almost like Axel's room.
He snorted at that.
Maybe their bond was only to the point of their like abilities?
Nobodies can't feel anyway.
But, he felt it.
Jealousy.
The door opened and he didn't know if he should portal out or not. He hadn't thought the brunette would come to her room so early in the day.
"Roxas?" she nearly yelled.
"Shhh! Please don't yell." He begged quietly.
"Why shouldn't I? You're snooping around in my room!" she said, feeling hot all over.
"Look, I'm not trying to hurt you or anything." Roxas said, stepping toward her. She backed away.
"If I didn't think you'd make a smart ass comment about it, I'd burn your ass." Rexial growled, eyes flashing red.
"Okay, yeah. You're scaring me. Look, I came here to apologize. About last night. I was wrong for all of that. I can only hope you'll forgive me." The blonde said quickly.
Rexial stared at him for awhile. He held out his hand for a truce.
"And why should I accept your apology? You've been a jackass since day one." The girl responded.
"We just got off on the wrong start. Axel's my best friend, I didn't want to be left out again." Roxas answered, hand still outstretched.
After a few minutes, he put his hand down.
"Fine.." he said, opening a portal to leave in a dejected manner.
"Ugh… wait." Rexial said. Roxas looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"I'll forgive you. But, I still don't trust you..." she said. Roxas smiled.
"Good enough for me." He waved before leaving the room, smiling manically once safely in his own room.
"Number 6 and Number 15, I have a very important mission for the two of you." Xemnas said to the said members very seriously.
"It has been observed that you both harness a control over the shadows, and XV has some kind of power over illusions…"
Zexion glared slightly at the comment as Tryxel smiled in a mocking manner. Xemnas ignored them and continued on.
"There is a graveyard-"
"GRAVEYARD?" the two members exclaimed in excitement, cutting off the Superior. Zexion cleared his throat, immediately calming himself.
"Er, um, continue on, Superior. My apologies." He said. Tryxel kept smiling with excitement.
"… Very well. There is a graveyard…" he paused, waiting for anymore outburst, "in which needs investigating. However, I have specifically asked you two based on your powers. There are some, highly, highly victious heartless in this particular area."
"Just how vicious?" Tryxel asked.
"Vicious enough that even the strongest member was sent to the infirmary." Xemnas answered.
Zexion and Tryxel exchanged worried glances.
"So, you believe our shadow manipulation will get us through without harm?" the slate haired boy asked.
"And your ability with illusions, yes." The Superior confirmed.
"Superior, suppose Tryxel cannot create illusions? It will be all the more dangerous for her." Zexion pressed on.
"This is why you will train her to full ability. You are to head there two weeks from now. Understood?" the tone he used stated that everything was final.
"Yes, Superior." they chorused.
He dismissed them soon afterwards, giving them a few more details.
"Well, looks like I get to spend about a month with you." Tryxel said with a smile.
Zexion caught himself smiling back before quickly putting back on a blank expression.
"Come along, we have much training to do." he said, walking off. Tryxel just followed, shaking her head and laughing.
Roxas sat back on his bed, fully prepared to relax when he heard a noise.
He jumped up and looked around, seeing nothing but the swaying of his cloak.
His eyes narrowed. He got up to look around, it couldn't have been Rexial, right?
That's when his eyes skimmed over to his desk, journal missing from its usual place.
He panicked.
No one can have his journal.
If they did, his whole little operation would be ruined.
