Warnings - Suggestive themes

Chapter 44

Xacrrie had just gotten back from a mission pretty beat up. Not too terribly bad, but enough to call a few bandages and a days bed rest. Neox, hearing that his girlfriend was injured ran to her room thinking the worst. Once he reached the room, he saw that Bàli was already by her side, fussing at her injuries. This seemed to make her younger sister more frustrated, "Xacrrie!" Neox called out anxiously.

"Tis nota bad tas it looks," Xacrrie reassured as she tries to push her older sister away, winching slightly.

The boy sat next to the younger girl, and awkwardly grabbed her hand. "A-are you ok..." he asked.

"Don worra I'm fine," she replied with a reassuring smile.

Calixa came running into the room panting hard. She slumped into a nearby chair, "Neox... you have... too much energy…" she told him while trying to catch her breath from running after the boy.

"Well I had to make sure she was ok," Neox replied a matter of factly.

"Is she?" Calixa asked.

"Of course not," Neox said sounding shocked, and motioned at her bandages. "She's obviously injured."

Calixa rolled her eyes, as Neox started fussing over her injuries as bad at Bàli. "What can I do to make you feel better?"

"Um, I'm fine…" the younger blonde replied.

Xion followed closely by Roxas came running in, "Is she ok?" Roxas asked.

Xacrrie groaned, pulling the blankets over her head, "This is why I hate getting hurt..."

"You know, I once heard that mothers read stories to there sick children, and it makes them feel better," Xion chimed in.

"That might actually help her," Neox agreed happily.

"I got a fairytale book!" Roxas offered with excitement.

Everyone seemed to like the idea. At least everyone except a certain red head, who scoffed, "Oh please, fairytales?" With that she snorted with laughter.

"What are you scoffing at, when you have one in the drawer where you keep those weird things you put on your chest?" Neox asked.

Calixa grinned evilly, "That's what the cover says…"

A short uncomfortable silence followed. "A-anyway… let's tell a fairytale to her," Roxas finally changed the subject. "I'll go get it."

He left the room, and was back after a few minutes with a large book under his arm. "Ok I got it," he announced opening the book.

But before he even got a chance to look at the page he opened up on, Calixa snatched it from his arms. "I'll tell the story," she announced, much too all their surprise. She started flipping though pages obviously trying to find an interesting story, "Boring, boring, boring… ok here he go," she said after stopping at a page.

"Once upon a time there was a girl named Little Red Riding Hood – though her real name was actually Xacrrie," Calixa added with an evil smirk earning a glare from the younger blonde.

"Calixa…" Neox warned in a low voice.

"Fine…" Calixa pouted. "Her name was actually Larxene, and she was the wickedest person in the village, but no ever admitted it because they were all afraid of her-"

"Hold up, that doesn't work with the story," Neox cut her off. "Why would the wolf try and eat someone who everyone else is afraid of?"

The red head glared, "Are you going to fuss at everything I say!"

"Roxas why don't you read the story, it's your book," Xion suggested.

But when the blonde boy tried to take the large book back, Calixa quickly held it out of arms reach. "Fine, I'll tell it right," She sighed boredly, "Once upon a time there was a very sweet non interesting girl named Little Red Riding Hood. She was very beautiful with long waist length blonde hair, and everyone in the village loved her even though she had the most annoying Scottish accent."

Everyone in the room face palmed, and Bàli glared at her. But they allowed her to continue, getting tired of correcting her.

One day her mother told her to take some bread and milk to her sick grandmother, and Little Red Riding Hood, being the sweet and boring girl she was, went without question. So Little Red Riding Hood went into the forest where she met an evil orange haired Australian wolf that wanted to eat her.

"Well hello there, Little Red Riding Hood, where are you off too?" the wolf asked her in a real bad accent. Not as bad as her own though.

Bàli looked about ready to jump at the young girl. She was growling deep in her throat, "Relax irmá, a súa diversión todos en boas condicións," Xacrrie told her sister, she was actaully enjoying whatCalixa was adding to the story.

Then the foolish Red Riding Hood, stupidly told him where she was going. "I'ma goin ta mi grandma's house. She is ill an mi ma's asked I to take 'er some breed and milk."

The wolf then took several moments to figure out what she said, then replied. "Very good, now I will huff, and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!" the wolf sucked in his breath-

"Hold it!" Neox intrurrupted yet again, "That is not what the wolf says!"

"Yes it is," Calixa retorted. "Thats what the wolf aways says."

The silver haired boy sighed, "You're getting you fairytales mixed up, and that's the three little pigs."

"Neox I think you're the one that mixed up, there are no pigs in this story," Calixa told him as if he was a child being corrected.

The boy growled in his throat, "That's it I'm telling the story now." He quickly snatched the book out of the red heads hands, and held it away from her as she tried to grab it back. "No, you've had your time, now it's my turn."

And so the wolf replied, "Very good. Why don't you pick some flowers to take to her also? I think that would be very nice of you."

Little Red Riding Hood figured that would be very nice, "Aye… dat tis a good idea," she said to the wolf and started picking the wildflowers around the area. She picked at many as her heart desired.

While she was doing that, the wolf snuck off to Red Riding Hoods grandmothers' house and knocked on the door pretending to be the girl. "Grandmother it's me," the wolf called out.

"Do come in my child, I am too ill to walk," the granny's voice called.

The wolf then came in and swallowed the grandmother whole-

"Boring!" Calixa interrupted kicking the book out of Neox's hands making it fly across the room.

"Hey my book!" Roxas called out.

The red headed girl then took over the story orally. "The wolf jumped at the grandmother, tearing her to small pieces, and eating every bit, loving the taste of her warm dripping blood mmmmhhhhh."

Everyone in the room except Calixa had an ill look on there face. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Xion whispered.

MEANWHILE! Little Red Riding Hood finished picking all her flowers and headed to her grandmother's house. She knocked on the door, "Grandmamma tis I."

"Do come in my child, for I am too ill to walk," the wolf called in a dampened voice.

Red Riding Hood walked inside, "Guid day, grandmamma. Ah have brooght ya a breed loaf an' a bottle of milk."

And the wolf replied, "Go put it in the pantry, and bring out the meat that is in there, and also the bottle of cranberry juice."

Little Red Riding Hood went to the cupboard and took out a large piece of her grandmother own flesh, and a bottle of her grandmothers blood. And then started to eat it-

"Ew, Cali what the hell kinda story is this. That's so gross," Roxas asked. Most eyes were on Bàli though, for she was looking green in the face.

"I'm making it more interesting," the orange haired good replied.

"Why can't you just let Neox tell the story?" Xion asked.

Calixa glared, "Shut up and let me have my turn…"

"Grandmamma, dis meat tis vera red…" Red Riding Hood commented as she ate the meat.

"Just eat and keep quiet," the wolf said then added to himself, "It's your grandmothers flesh."

"Wat was dat?" Red Riding Hood asked as she opened the bottle of blood.

"Eat and keep quiet."

"Grandmamma dis juice tastes funny," Red Riding Hood commented as she drank the bottle of blood.

"Just eat and keep quite," the wolf replied, then added to himself, "It's your grandmothers blood."

"Wat did ye say?"

"Eat and keep quiet."

Once little red riding hood was finished eating, she said to her grandmother. "Grandmamma, Aam tired…"

"Take off you clothes and get into bed with me," the wolf replied in a sickly voice.

"But whaur shoods Ah pit mi apron?" Little red riding hood asked.

And the wolf replied, "Throw it into the fire, you won't be needing it anymore.

"Whaur shoods ah pit mi dress?"

"Throw it in the fire, you won't be needing it anymore."

Once Little Red riding hood was naked, she got into bed with the wolf-

"Ok this story is getting away from the G rating, that's where I draw the line," Neox announced.

"What's your problem," Calixa was starting to look very annoying now. "The two of them do this sort of stuff all the time, this should be normal for them…"

Bàli blushed deeply, mumbling something under her breath in Gaelic that was most likely a swear word. Nothing else was said, so Calixa continued.

So anyway, once Little Red Riding Hood was naked, she got into bed with the wolf. Instantly she felt something hairy-

"Aye, grandmamma! Ye ar so hairy?" Little Red Riding Hood asked.

"The better to keep you warm my dear…" the wolf replied sweetly.

"Grandmamma, wat big eyes ye have."

"The better to see you with my dear."

"Grandmamma, wat large 'ands ye have."

"The better to touch you with my dear," the wolf ran his hairy claw down her figure-

"CALIXA!"

"Grandmamma, wat large ears ye have."

"The better to hear you with my dear."

"Grandma… wat big teeth ye have…"

"THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH MY DEAR!" and bam, the wolf tore Little Red Riding Hood to pieces and ate her up. The end.

"That's not how it ends," Roxas said. "What about the hunter?"

"It is in my version," Calixa replied simply.

"That was the most messed up, story I've ever heard," Xion stated, shivering slightly.

"Canna have a happy ending?" Xacrrie asked, which surprised everyone for she had not spoken since the start of the story.

"Yes it can," Neox said as if coming to his girlfriends rescue. "The now full wolf, decided that he was tired and took a nap. Then a very small and cute silver haired wizard came by the house and heard the wolf snoring."

The wizard went inside the house, and saw the wolf. Sensing the lives he just took, he revived both Little Red Riding Hood and her Grandmother. They both came out of the wolf unharmed. And they all lived happil-

But it turned out that the innocently cute wizard was actually very evil and cold hearted.

Neox glared, "We don't have hearts…"

After hearing that Little Red Riding Hood and her poor grandmother had no way to repay him, he became very angry. Then locked Little Red Riding Hood in tower, and sentenced her grandmother to hard labor so she could repay her dept.

"I would never do that!" Neox shouted.

Time passed, and Little Red Riding Hoods already tragically long hair, just got longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and longer, and long-

"Ok we git et all reda, it got rella long," Bàli interrupted.

Fine! Until eventually it got so long, you couldn't even find the ending. It was very boring and lonely up in the tower all alone. "I'm bored!" Red Riding Hood announced.

"Are you bored," a voice asked which sounded suspiciously like an advertiser's voice. "Tired of sitting up in that tower all alone?"

Red Riding Hood nodded, unsure if the voice could even see her. A man in a suit suddenly appeared, "Then you need to try the 'No-more-bored-inader'" the man handed her a black box. "Just open the box and your boredom will be gone. Items sold separately, not intended to cure boredom sickness."

Red Riding Hood eagerly opened the box which exploded in her face. She glared at the advertiser, "Ge' ouda here, tis nae de time ta advertize!"

The man disappeared leaving Red Riding Hood alone again in the tower. Red Riding Hood continued to spend her days locked in the tower, and anytime the evil wizard wanted to go and see her, he'd go up the window and call out. "Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood, let down your hair for me-

"Cali what are you doing, this is not Repunzel!" Neox shouted.

"What are you talking about; I never said anything about Repunzel."

So anyway! Little Red Riding Hood would then send her hair out the window

So that the very misunderstood wizard that only did this because his magic spells take a lot out of him, and he needed repayment, would climb up the long hair to get into the tower. There the wizard would assure that Red Riding Hood's grandmother was safe and well, and he would soon let them go.

But only the wizard knew that he was a back stabbing jerk and would never let them go! Little Red Riding Hood would spend her days singing songs out the window, hoping that a prince would someday save her. One day a blonde, spiky haired, keyblade wielding prince heard a distant song coming from over the hills-

"No please don't drag me into this," Roxas pleaded, but he was ignored as Neox picked up the story again.

Since the voice was so beautiful, he decided to follow it, eventually finding the tower. He searched frantically for the door to the tower, so that he could go up and find Little Red Riding Hood. Then he saw the very misunderstood wizard approach the tower and call out, "Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood, let down your hair for me!"

To the princes great surprise, a long lock of blonde hair came down from the window and the wizard climbed up. Wanting to see who was hiding up in the tower, the prince came back the next day. He approached the tower, right below the window. "Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood, let down your hair for me!" Just like before, a long blonde lock fell down.

The prince grabbed a hold of the silky smooth hair and climbed up. Inside the tower he met Little Red Riding Hood. "Fair Maiden, I have come to save thee!"

"When did I start talking like an old Englishman?" Roxas asked.

Red Riding Hood was very grateful that someone came to save her. She told the prince what the evil and horrible wizard did to her and her grandmother. The prince grabbed her hand and said, "Do not worry, for I shall save you and your grandmother."

Suddenly an arrow came though the window, narrowly missing Red Riding Hoods ear. "Hood! Come down here this instant!" an angry voice yelled.

Red Riding Hood ran to the window, where she saw several men on horses carrying British flags. "Who's dat?" she asked.

"Arr! It is prince John!" the prince replied.

"Prince John? I donna unda stan."

The prince took her hand, "Red Riding Hood, I have not been truthful with you. I am not a prince, I am actually Robin Hood." At this the Prince tore his nice royal clothing off to reveal his greet tunic and hat.

Red Riding Hood stared at him with raised eyebrows, "Nice tights," she said.

"Ok, that's it," Roxas broke through the story. "We are going back to my fairytale book."

The blonde walked over to where the book had landed after Calixa kicked it out of Neox's hands, and picked it up. "Fine but I get to read it," Calixa said grabbing the book from Roxas.

"No! You've had enough story telling time it's my turn," Roxas retorted, and grabbed the book back.

This started a tug-a-war between the two, until it flew out of both there hands and landed open in front of Neox. The younger boy picked it up and started reading the story it opened to, still using the same characters though much to Roxas and Bàli's displeasure.

So Robin Hood and Red Riding Hood managed to escape Prince John, and had now approached a forest. "Come on lets go, we'll be safe in here," Robin suggested.

"But wat if we get lost?" Red Riding Hood asked worriedly.

"Do not worry, for I shall protect you."

"Wait!" Red Riding Hood stopped him as he moved to head into the forest. She took out a piece of bread, "Lit me lae a trail ay breed crumbs we can follaw if we get lost."

The two continued walking though the forest with Red Riding Hood leaving breadcrumbs behind them as they went, and as the forest got denser the more frighten Red Riding Hood became worried. Finally Robin Hood stopped and looked around, "I think we're lost."

"Nae duh!"

Red Riding Hood turned around to look at the bread crumbs she behind. She looked around just in time to see a bird fly down and snatch the last crumb she dropped. The entire trail had been eaten by birds. "Oh nae, wat da we do now?"

Robin Hood grabbed her hand reassuringly, and the two continued to walk though the forest. They eventually came upon a gingerbread house that looked delicious. Both starving from the long walk, they started to eat the house. It wasn't long before an ugly woman with carrot orange hair came out.

Calixa glared at Neox and picked up the story.

At first the two were afraid, but it turned out that the woman was quite kindly and misunderstood. Her ugliness was actually a disguise, which she threw off and showed that she was actually very beautiful.

"Do come in my darlings, join me for dinner," the woman said sweetly.

Red Riding Hood and Robin Hood looked at each other, then with a shrug both followed the hag inside.

As it turned out the kindly woman was actually an evil witch that wanted to eat them.

"What is with all the cannibalism in this story?" Xion asked.

The witch spent the next few days fattening them up. When they were finally fat enough to eat, as a last enjoyment before her meal the old hag told them to both take off there clothes and-

"DATS IT!" Everyone looked at Bàli. She was glaring at them, face was an ugly shade of purple from anger. "I 'ave been threatened, eatin, kidnapped, and cannibalized, and I willna tak it anymore!" The blonde was now on her feet, looking ready to beat them all to a pulp.

"So… let me get this straight. All this came out, because you were reading number nineteen fairytales?" Saïx asked.

The blue haired man was starting at Roxas, Xion, Calixa, Neox, and Bàli, all of whom wore many bandages and bruises. Neox and Calixa even barred colorful looking black eyes. "Um… yeah we were um adding our own… spices to the story," Calixa explained.

"None of your are allowed to read fairytales again, hand over the book," Saïx said holding out a hand.

With a regretful sigh, Roxas handed his fairytale book to Saïx, giving Neox and Calixa a glare. They both laughed nervously, "Hehe… well on the bright side, at least Xacrrie's feeling better."

Bàli glared, "She'll be traumatized fa life!" she yelled and socked them both in the mouth.

Well at least this one didn't take as long as the last chapter :D
