AN: Damn. Now it's really been a while since I've last updated. I don't mean to, it's just major writer's block. I apologized deeply. Also I'm sorry if I don't reply to messages, I am just that lazy sometimes [like Vanitas, haha] but! I do read them! And I should get to answering them...

Hmm… what else to say? Oh yeah! Whoa! I didn't think my little Vani x Xion story would interests so many and get 'em into this pairing. Awesome! The more the merrier! I'm glad to have people read and like this – to my own opinion, plotless story. Ahh I swear, this is probably my only plotless story – to moi that is ._.;; but I'll make it go somewhere, I promise! ;D

So I was listening to Shake It by Rediscover, and it inspired me! Huzzah! Well enough of my rants… Enjoy and I hope that the two that have requested some things into this story are pleased! You know who you are! 8D

Don't Drag Me To Hell

Xion's Pov:

I entered the empty hallway from the back of the school to go to the ladies room real quick, this school really is creepy all alone. The flickering lights of some worn out lights and the I guess 'soothing' sound of the custodian waxing the floor followed me as I could hear the cheers outside of the game. It all faded when I entered and checked myself out in the mirror. I applied chapstick to my dry cracked lips and walked out deciding to go down the other way of the hall so I would be headed into the direction of the entrance. I wonder how Ven's booth is doing…

As I walked down I heard some slamming of lockers and low but deep chuckles as I ignored it twice but the third time, it just got annoying so I turned around just to be pushed against a locker and two hands above my head caging me in. "Hey babe" That jerk whispered into my ear leaning closer. I crossed my arms over my chest and rolled my eyes. "What do you want, Axel?" I asked not having the patience to deal with him today.

Axel backed away a little so I could face him; he had this fake hurt expression on as I sighed. "Aren't you glad to be away from that so called boyfriend of yours?" He glared at me as I scoffed and looked the other way. "He's an actual good guy going somewhere with his life, unlike you Axel who is just a clingy and spoiled brat. We were never anything, you simply assumed and thought we were. Guess what? You're delusional!" I looked back at him narrowing my eyes and giving him a cold stare.

He laughed, the nerve! "You're too much of a softy to even mean what you said. I know you're going to regret it and come back running to me and I'll be expecting an apology"

"In your dreams!" I uncrossed my arms and balled up my hands into fists to my side as he laughed. He just doesn't get it, what doesn't he understand about the word 'no' that isn't obvious. Does he need a dictionary to define it? I'll gladly go and buy him one.

I didn't want to hear him anymore. As he laughed, I decided to make a run for it as I stomped on his foot as hard as I could. He immediately yelped and let go of the wall as he grabbed his foot. I dashed out and roughly pushed the doors as I was greeted with the island's cool air.

I coughed catching my breath, placing my right hand over my heart I felt how panicked and fast it was beating. I closed my eyes hoping to never encounter Axel alone ever again. Calming down a bit, I just pushed aside everything that he told me and walked to Ven's booth.

"And that's how you do it, my dear" I heard him say as I walked to the front. "Hey Xion!" Ven greeted as he waved his butcher knife around. "Whoa watch it, you might decapitate me" Olette smiled.

"Only if ever to recite Shakespearean quotations with, my sweet" He winked as Olette giggled and took the knife from his hands trying to prepare the chicken as he just showed her. I smiled and took a seat in a wooden stool that Ven handed me. He stood next to me leaning against the wall and sighing contently. "Enjoying yourself?" I asked him as he glanced over to me and nodded his head. "Yes, very much so. Though I am still a little shy and confused as to these new feelings"

I chuckled and gently squeezed his arm, "It's all very normal" I assured him as he 'hmmed' his agreement closing his eyes smiling to the sound of Olette in the back chopping heads and placing them in a plastic bag.

I watched the game for a bit and yawned feeling tired. "So Olette, how are you? How are things?" I turned and asked her as she cleaned up after all the blood. She smiled, "I'm good. I feel much more alive and well better now that I'm not suffocated and tangled in Selphie's little web of lies and control"

I nodded smiling back to her, she really is a nice person once you get to really know her. Though I still don't know what she thinks of Ven. Ventus is a really sweet guy that views things differently than others, I just couldn't stand to see him get hurt. "My brother is calling me so I must go to him, I'll err… be back in ten!" Ven announced and ran off.

"He's really sweet isn't he?" Olette giggled.

I nodded and said, "Yup"

Vani's Pov:

"Dude, wake up!" I felt someone roughly shake me as if there was some natural disaster going on. Oh wait. Terra is the natural disaster. "What?" I asked with my voice slightly hoarse. "The game is over now. Man Vani! You missed it all! It was awesome!" Terra smiled widely as he shook me some more. "So?" I replied, "We always win. What's new?"

Terra sighed and stuck his tongue out at me. He should know already I'm a pretty grumpy person when I just wake up. "Meanie. Fine, whatever. Let's just go find Xion and the others so we can head home" He said as I got up and walked down the bleachers.

Once we were down, we met up with Roxas, Ven, and Aqua. "Ah so Sleeping Beauty finally woke up" Aqua gently patted my arm as I rolled my eyes but they couldn't see that as I still had my hoodie on.

"Sleeping Beauty left about five minutes ago when Terra woke him up but the Beast is here to take messages" I yawed stretching my arms. They all laughed as Terra ruffled my hooded head, "Ha ha you dork"

"Hey guys, how was the game?" Xion asked getting up from the wooden stool as we approached. I shrugged not knowing anything as Terra shoved me away and jumped into front of her telling her everything in detail and comments as Roxas chuckled crossing his arms with his drum sticks in hand. Aqua leaned against the wall talking to Olette as Ven closed down his booth.

Once Terra filled Xion in on everything we decided to leave. Walking down the dark dim lighted road, Aqua and Olette talked, Terra was chasing around the twins after Ven agreed with Roxas for once on something, and as for Xion, she was wearing my sweater as she slept on my back as I gave her a piggyback ride.

"So Halloween is coming up, what are we doing? Terra asked out of breath as he stopped chasing Roxas and Ven. "How 'bout we go to Twilight Town and hang out at Luxord's place?" Aqua suggest.

"Maybe we can buy tickets to that Mirage Arena amusement park place?" Roxas and Ven said in unison.

"Maybe we could just meet up at my last and have a little party?" Terra asked.

"What about you Vani?" They asked as I shook my head. "I won't be able to go. I'm taking Sora out to go trick-or-treating"

"Oh, well that's even better! We'll just go with you and we can split into groups" Terra smiled.

"Yeah, we can take turns taking care of Sora!" Aqua squealed.

"It'll be fun!" The twins thumbed up the idea.

I chuckled and nodded agreeing. After that we all went our separate ways except myself and Xion. I dreaded the end of our walk as it would mean I would have to drop her off at her place because I didn't want to seem rude and just knock at her Aunt's place. Well Vani, if I'm ever going to gain some points with that beast of a man, might as well do it now. "Xion, wake up" I whispered as I could see my own breath in the chilled night air.

"Hmm…"

"We're here"

"Where?"

"Your place" I whispered as I rung the doorbell. The ape opened it and saw her on my back, "Can you carry her?" I asked him as I turned around and he picked her up in his big arms. "Night" I whispered to her as her father stayed quiet. Xion opened one bleary eye and yawned, "Night night Vani"

I chuckled hearing the door slam shut, I walked to my own house and placed the key into the keyhole. Twisting the door opened I was greeted by the scent of pumpkin spice and cinnamon and apples. "Hey sweetie" Mom greeted me as she placed the pie in her hands down on a cooling rack that had three others on it.

"Hey" I greeted back.

"How was the game and where's your sweater?" She asked.

"The game was 'fun' and Xion has it"

"Oh"

"Where's Sora?"

"Sleeping. I tucked him in about thirty minutes ago. We made pies, do you want a slice?"

"Nah, I'm not hungry, I'm just going to bed. Goodnight"

"Sweet dreams, sweetie"

I yawned and went upstairs to my room and knocked out. In the morning I took a shower and got ready, just the same old routine of every day. Ah, I really need to invest some money in a better alarm clock or I just need to be faster in the morning. Do time machines exists yet? Cursing at the time as I packed Sora's lunch and handed him a s'mores pop-tart as I picked him up and gave him a piggyback ride to school as I ran. He giggled and spread his arms every now and then telling me, "Lwook lwook Vani! I'm a bwirdie!"

Ven's Pov:

A week has past and Halloween was nearing quite sooner than expected. After all life is a quick paced thing, is it not? I've been quite blessed as of late with Olette spending mornings, lunches, and afterschool with me every since that fated football game. She really was an awesome person. She made me want to be 'normal' or what the definition of such was. I didn't want to creep her out but I guess I was just born to be that opposite of my brother.

Roxas had the looks, the musical skills, and the normality. While I had the fondness for the weird, artistic and poetic views, and insanity of one who should be kept in a asylum. Mom said it was just a phase but it's really Vanitas fault. Hah. Oh that day when he and Roxas locked me in old man Xehanort's haunted abandoned house when we were nine.

"Yo Ven, are ya gonna ask Olette to go with us on Halloween?" Roxas asks as he leans against my opened door licking a spoon with chocolate. I turned on the lamp in my room revealing my red and black satin covered bed, my Victorian bookcase, the skeleton in the closet, posters of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Béla Lugosi and other haunting and creepy posters. Neo was on my modern computer desk where I sat in the red silk Victorian chair staring at the laptop's black screen and old purple cobwebbed lamp next to it. I turned to face him and nodded, "Yeah, she said she was already" I reply.

"Sweet" He continued to lick the chocolate covered spoon and walked out. Remembering that I had our candy collecting buckets, I got up from my chair and opened up my closet to get out the drum shaped plastic bucket and the bat shaped one. Walking out of my room and into the next where all the lights where on. I entered Roxas' room seeing him laying on his bed and playing his psp. "Here, I just remembered I had them in my room" I told him and handed him the drum shaped one. "Thanks" He smiled pausing his game and placed the bucket on his computer desk.

I looked around his room seeing his closet over stuffed and ready to explode. His bed was covered in simple black and white sheets and pillowcases. The Victorian desk he stole from me as his computer desk, his drum set, keyboard, and my electric violin he forgets to return all in a corner. I looked left to right up at his walls that held different band posters and concert tickets and even a Org. XIII shirt – probably the very first one they made as a group.

"Ven! Terra's here!" I heard my mom yell up the stairs as I walked down. I stared at my mother as I wanted to ask her when my cloak would be ready but knowing her, she probably had it hidden in her room or has dad keeping it in his office at work. I sighed and didn't bother as I walked into the kitchen. Terra was sitting on the metal stool and he gulped down the plate of cookies. He didn't chew or take his time as he yelled, "More please!" with a big smile. My mom laughed taking the plate that had nothing left but cookie crumbs on it.

"Hiya Ven-Ven!" Terra turned and opened his arms waiting for me to give him a hug. I laughed and passed his awaiting arms as I opened up the freezer and took out the blood kool-aid that I froze in a small plastic sandwich bag. "Are ya ready for tomorrow? I'm planning on getting Vani this year. Ya know, steal his candies? Are you in?" He asked with a big grin.

I laughed thinking at just the thought of taking his candies and then maybe perhaps make him spend the night in old man Xehanort's place. I wanted to laugh manically but my mom was here and she already thinks I'm weird enough with how I chose to décor my room. Wait. I couldn't get revenge on Vani, though I'm not blaming him for anything. "We can't. What if the candy is for Sora? I couldn't possibly do that to a five year old" I told him solemnly sighing.

Terra scratched the back of his head and nervously chuckled, "Oh yeah, huh? I forgot"

"Why don't we go into the living room while mom bakes more cookies. Surely we can come up with another plan to get Vani this year" I suggested as he shot up from the stool. "Venny my boy, you are a genius!"

Vani's Pov:

"Rawr!"

"Sora, stay still!"

"Rawr! Vani rawr!"

I sighed as I tried to paint Sora's face with the pumpkin face paint kit I bought the other day. He kept wiggling around moving his nose flinching at the coldness. "Vani, gwuess wut?" Sora asks as he stays still enough for me to draw straight lines down his face. "Hm?" I asked as he giggles, "I'm a mwonster pwumkin! Rawr!" He growled playfully as he got up.

I finished his face as I heard mom coming down stairs wearing a simple knee length black dress. "How do I look? Too revealing?" Mom asked insecure.

"Pwetty!" Sora yelled smiling.

"Aww you're too sweet my little prince" Mom cooed as she held up her pumpkin son. I nodded, "You look great" I assured her as she set Sora down and put her earrings on that she left on the kitchen counter. "Well I'm off! Remember not to come back home too late and don't give Sora too much candy!" Mom lectured as she took her coat and purse as she walked out.

Just as Mom was going to close the door, Xion and Kairi walked in. "Hey!" Xion greeted as she twirled around in her almost matching costume as mine. She wore a black pixie dress with a red short bat cape and a bat mask on the side of her head with black boots and fishnets. She had fake blood dripping from her lips and hands, and Kairi next to her was wearing a little bat costume with stars painted around her eyes. "So how do we look?" Xion asks as I chuckle and give her two thumbs up.

"Rweady twu gwo?" Kairi asks as she holds Sora's hand. I nodded adjusting my own short black bat cape and pumpkin mask to the side of my head and typing my shoe laces of my black boots; we were ready to go. Before we got out, I made sure to take out our buckets out of closet, I handed Sora his pumpkin shaped bucket and mine was the same. Going outside the house, I made sure to leave the front porch light on as I locked the house.

The kids walked hand in hand in front of us as we walked down to Terra's house where we would meet up with everyone and wait until it would get just a little darker so we could go out asking for candy. "Hey Vani, do you remember my cousin?" Xion asks as I glance over at her. "Which one?" I reply as she says, "Yuffie"

Oh. That one. "Y-Yeah" I slowly say recalling all the things she's done to me. If you thought Ven was bad alone, wait 'til she teams up with Ven. I shuddered at the memory of when I was about nine. Yuffie came over and we all dared each other on Halloween night to spend at least twenty minutes in old man Xehanort's house. I remember that we entered the house as a group and I was searching for Xion when she got lost when we all got separated.

I decided to check upstairs when I heard her crying in a room somewhere. I remember bumping my head against a hallway table as someone or something dragged me by my ankles down the hall and into a dark room.

Once I was back in control of myself, I didn't see anyone and thought that maybe it was just someone in our group trying to be funny. Rumor had it that the abandoned house was haunted but I never believed in that. When I didn't find Xion upstairs, I went downstairs again when I saw her standing by the door that led to the basement. She called out to me as something in the dark grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her down the basement. I ran to her but when I went downstairs she wasn't there. The last thing I recalled seeing was Terra hanging by a thick rope in the dinning room table and Yuffie's head on a silver platter with a apple in her mouth in the kitchen.

About two hours later I grew tired and surrendered telling them they got me real good. Truth be told, I wasn't scared, I just thought it was weird but all in all it was fun. After we all got out together, I think we left Ven on accident after we couldn't find him in the thirty minute time limit we gave each other to evacuate. Roxas and I spend that time searching for him but the house was dead silent.

"Earth to Vani" Xion says as she waved her hand up and down in front of my face. I snapped out of my thoughts then, "Hm?" I asked as she giggled, "We're here"
