Sry, Saix still isn't working....*gets out large hammer and stalks over to camera* I'll see if I can make a post tonight with the pictures :) Enjoy the chapter while I torture--I mean convince--Saix to take the picture....*evil smile* Camera: NOOO!!! SAVE ME HELP!!!!!! ~Chapter 10~ “When will the plan start?” “Soon. Very soon.” “But when?” “When her true power is revealed.” “True power?” “Yes, she is aware of it. But she can’t be afraid to use it… When she uses it, it will be time…” +++ Roxas and Xed were sitting at the kitchen table. It was the next morning, and everyone (even Xemnas) was in the kitchen eating breakfast (except for Axel and Larxene). Xed’s face was in her hands, her elbows on the table. “How could I let this happen?” she said, her voice muffled by her hands. “That Keyblade is dangerous. And now, it’s been stolen!” Roxas wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say. Just then, Axel came walking into the kitchen. He smiled at Xed, oblivious to what had happened. “Hey, nice coat!” he said, referring to the Organization coat she had decided to wear today. His try at humor went unnoticed; no one laughed, or even smiled. He cocked his head. “What’s up?” he asked. “Someone stole a weapon from her last night.” Marluxia said. Axel seemed surprised and slightly angry. “Who did it?” he asked. “If we knew that, Axel, she wouldn’t be so upset, now would she?” Xemnas said dully, sipping some coffee from a mug. Axel smirked at him and sat down at the table. “Don’t worry, Xed!” Demyx said cheerfully. Xed looked up at him. He stood up. “We’ll find out who did it!” She smiled. “What was so special about that weapon anyway?” Luxord asked. Xed looked over at him. “Well, it was a Keychain I designed that can steal hearts.” She explained. Roxas looked at her. “Was it your most powerful Keychain?” he asked. Xed shook her head. “No, I keep my most powerful Keychain with me at all times.” She said. Just then, Larxene came walking into the kitchen. By the expression on her face, she was in an EXTREMLY bad mood, worse than usual. She walked over to where Xed was sitting. “You’re in my seat, move it.” She demanded. Xed looked up at her. “I don’t see your name on it.” She said, jokingly. A couple of the Organization members chuckled. Xed was pretty brave to joke with Larxene when she was in such a bad mood. Larxene gritted her teeth. “I said MOVE IT.” She yelled. Xed smirked again. “How about a please?” she said teasingly. The other members exchanged worried glances. They could tell that Larxene was about to blow. Larxene clenched one of her fists, and a twisted smile appeared on her face. “Fine.” She said, her words scrapping against her gritted teeth. Roxas looked at Xed in fear. He knew this wouldn’t be good. “PLEASE MOVE IT!!!!” Larxene yelled furiously, bringing her clenched fist up, and striking Xed hard in the left side of her face. In fact, she had struck her so hard that Xed stumbled out her chair and fell onto the floor, just by the sheer force of it. All of the Organization members were mortified, Roxas especially. Larxene laughed viciously as she watched Xed sit up on the floor, clutching the side of her face. “Thank you.” Larxene said with a sweet venom tone. Roxas jumped up from his seat and ran over to Xed. “Xed are you ok?” he asked, his hands on her shoulders, helping her sit up. Xed took her hand away to reveal a large, black-blue bruise that had formed under her left eye and down her cheek. Roxas was furious. He turned to Larxene. “You didn’t have to hit her!” he yelled. “Yeah really, Larxene!” Xigbar said, angry as well. Larxene shrugged and smiled evilly. “It’s not my fault the little wimp can’t take a punch.” She spat. “She’s probably too afraid to.” She laughed again. Xed turned her head sharply up at her, completely ignoring the terrible pain in her face. “What…did…you…say…?” she said through clenched teeth. Roxas could sense her anger. Larxene looked at her, still smiling. “I said that little Xed is a little ‘fraidy cat!” She laughed. “You should learn to face your pathetic little fears.” She said teasingly. Xed narrowed her eyes. That did it. Xed leapt up off the floor, ripping away from Roxas’ grip. She ran up to Larxene and grabbed her shoulders, throwing her up against the wall with so much force that the entire kitchen shook. Larxene tried to struggle away from Xed’s grip, but it was no use. Her grip was vice-like. Larxene looked at Xed, who was by now seething with anger. “LET GO OF ME YOU LITTLE—“ she started, but was halted by Xed’s uncomfortable stare on her. Xed’s pale gray eyes seemed to become an endless, empty vortex of void. As she stared into her eyes, Larxene started to see things… Deaths, parents, fear, pain, hurt, fear… What was happening to her? Larxene felt her head spinning with all of her deepest fears… Betrayal, fear, hurt, fear, her sister, fear… Larxene started to breathe heavily. She started to shake violently. She tried to break away from Xed’s haunting glare, but couldn’t. Fear…Fear…Fear…Fear…Fear… “STOP!!!” Larxene screamed. She couldn’t take it anymore! Xed’s eyes let Larxene go. The images disappeared, but Larxene was still shaking, purely terrified. She hadn’t known she could still be scared like that. Xed stared at her hard. “Don’t…you…EVER…say I can’t face my own fears when you can’t even face your own…” she growled, her voice dangerously low. She then let go of Larxene and stomped out of the room. The entire room was quiet, still in deep shock of what had happened. Roxas would’ve run after her, but he thought that she might want to be left alone for a little while. Larxene stayed where she was, her back against the wall, shaking uncontrollably. Lexaeus, having some sympathy, walked over to the shaking Nobody. “Hey, Larxene? Are you ok?” he asked. She didn’t respond. Her eyes just stared off, wide and awake with fear. Axel walked up to her as well. “Hello? Larxene?” he called, waving his hand in front of her face. He cocked his head. “What’d she do to you?” Larxene looked up at him. “She…scared me…I didn’t even know I could still be scared…” she whispered, still shaking. Everyone was silent, still surprised at what just happened. And no one had even noticed Xemnas slipping out of the room, a small, sly smile set upon his face. He had seen what he needed to see… +++ “Xed! Open up, it’s me!” Roxas called, knocking loudly on the Workshop door. Behind him were Axel and Demyx. “Come in.” A soft voice said. The three opened the door and walked in to see Xed leaning over a weapon (Marluxia’s), working on it. She looked up at them. The bruise on her face had become darker, with red splotches mixed in. She smiled at them sweetly nonetheless. Roxas smiled back. She still looked beautiful in his eyes. “Are you ok?” Axel asked. Xed nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Xed replied. “Vexen said you should put some ice on it.” Demyx said, holding out a small bag of ice wrapped in a paper towel. Xed took it and smiled. “Thanks.” She sat down in a chair and put the ice to her face. Axel cocked his head. “What’d you do to Larxene?” he asked. Xed sighed, annoyed. “Nothing.” She replied coldly. “It’s what she did to herself.” “What do you mean?” Roxas asked. Xed looked up at him. “I know you won’t believe me if I told you.” She said. Roxas smiled. “Try me.” She sighed. “Well, I sort of have this—“ “ROXAS!!!” The four could hear Xemnas called from the upper floor. Roxas grunted and made a face. Xed laughed at how silly he looked. He smiled. Music to his ears. “I’ll be back.” Roxas said, as he dashed out of the room. +++ Roxas slowly opened the door to Xemnas’ office and looked inside. Xemnas was standing, his back facing Roxas, staring out of the window. “Come in, Roxas.” He said, without even turning around. Roxas stepped in. By his tone of voice, he knew this wasn’t going to be good, whatever he wanted. “What do you want?” Roxas asked. Xemnas turned around to face him. His eyes were colder than usual…it sent shivers up and down Roxas’ spine. “How would you react to a 14th edition to the Organization?” Roxas raised his eyebrows. They hadn’t had a new addition in a long time. “Who?” Roxas asked. Xemnas smiled…too nicely… “Xedramon.” Roxas’ eyes became wide. Xed? Xed was going to be brought into the Organization? “Really?” he said, smiling excitedly. This was awesome! Xemnas nodded slowly. “Really…” he replied. Roxas then realized something. Something REALLY important. “Xemnas, Xed isn’t a Nobody.” Xemnas smiled deviously. He had a strange gleam in his eyes. “Yes, I’m quite aware of that.” Roxas cocked his head. “Well, she can’t become part of the Organization if she still has her heart.” He said. Xemnas nodded. “I know that.” He said. He then walked towards Roxas. He stopped in front of him and grabbed Roxas’ hand, pushing something into it. Roxas looked at his hand and gasped in horror. It…was Xed’s stolen Keychain! “Wha…?” Roxas said, unsure what to say or feel. He looked up at Xemnas, at his strange coldness in his eyes. Roxas’ eyes widened. No, oh no… “Which is why, Roxas…” Xemnas said. Roxas wanted to turn and run, to not hear the rest. No, oh no… Xemnas please no!!! Xemnas smiled evilly. No!!! “I want you to steal her heart.”

The 14th Key ~ Chapter 9 Yay! Chapter 9! :D It's a good one! :D ~Chapter 9~ After walking in, Xed walked off downstairs to continue her work on the weapons. Axel and Demyx appeared through a Corridor of Darkness soon after. Axel walked up to Roxas, smiling. “So, you two have fun?” he asked. Roxas nodded. “Yeah.” He said, smiling. Demyx smiled. “Does she like you?” he asked. Roxas shrugged. “I don’t know…” he said. But I hope she does… Roxas thought. He smiled. “Is tomorrow Friday?” he asked. Axel thought a moment. “Uhhh…yeah, I think so. Why?” he asked. Roxas smiled deviously. “I have an idea for tomorrow.” He replied. The three Nobodies formed a circle, and Roxas filled them in on his idea… +++ That night, Roxas had let everyone else in the Castle (except for Xemnas and Saix, who refused to have a part in it) in on the plan. He even convinced Larxene to help as well (and that was something). Everything was coming together… +++ Roxas lightly tapped on the Weapons Workshop door. It was morning, 11:09 a.m., and he wanted to ask Xed something. After getting no answer, he knocked again. Nothing. Roxas opened the door slowly and looked inside. Xed was sitting at her desk, her arms crossed on the desk and her head resting on her arms. Roxas walked in. “Xed?” he said softly. She didn’t move. He walked closer to her. “Xed?” he said again, louder this time. He was about to yell her name when he realized that her shoulders were moving up and down in a steady rhythm. He could hear her soft, even breathing. Roxas chuckled softly. She was sleeping. Roxas couldn’t help but look at her. She was…really pretty… He liked how part of her hair was in her face. How her eyes were closed softly. How she slept with a small smile on her face. Roxas smiled, and felt something he hadn’t really felt before. Was it…? Roxas shook himself out of his thoughts. Naw… he thought. That’s impossible for a Nobody! He walked up to Xed and shook her shoulder gently. “Xed?” he said softly. “Xed, wake up!” Xed opened her eyes slowly, and looked up at Roxas. She smiled and sat up with her elbows on her desk. “Oh, good morning, Roxas.” She said sleepily, but sweetly. Roxas smiled again. "I was wondering..." Roxas said. "Would you want to hang out with me today?" Xed thought a moment. “Um, I’m not sure. I still have part of Lexaeus’ weapon to finish, and I still have—“ “Please?” Roxas pleaded. Xed looked up at him. Roxas made a pathetic puppy-dog face. She laughed at him. “Fine.” She said, standing up. Roxas smiled. “Great!” he said, grabbing her wrist and pulling her gently out of the room. Xed followed without a choice. +++ Demyx waiting for him down the hall. Where’s Roxas? He thought. Just then, Roxas came walking out of the room with Xed at a quick pace. Roxas smiled at him and winked. Demyx nodded. “So where are you two going?” he asked. “I’m not sure.” Xed said, trying to keep up with Roxas. “Roxas said he wanted to spend the day with me, so I am.” Demyx nodded. “Have fun!” he said. Roxas looked at him. ‘Get everything ready’, he mouthed. Demyx smiled. ‘I will.’ He mouthed back, before running off. Roxas instantly opened a portal, and Xed stepped in after him. Roxas smiled. Everything was going perfectly… +++ Roxas and Xed went to Twilight Town again. They sat on the Station Tower, eating Sea-Salt ice cream that Xed paid for this time (she insisted). Roxas nibbled on his ice cream, trying to find something to say. “So…” he said. Xed looked over at him. “Who’s your favorite music singer or band?” Roxas kicked himself again in his mind. ANOTHER stupid question… Xed chuckled softly. “Well, I happen to like Jessie McCartney.” She said, licking her ice cream. Roxas cocked his head. “Why?” he asked. He knew who he was, and wondered why she liked him. He wasn’t so great. Xed thought for a moment. “I don’t really like his singing, but I love the way his voice sounds. It’s so nice.” She said. Roxas frowned to himself. His voice was a thousand times better than Jessie McCartney’s. He was sure of that. +++ Sometime later, around 8:00 p.m., Roxas took Xed back to the Castle. They spent the day at Twilight Town, Hollow Bastion, and Traverse Town. Both were tired, but they enjoyed each other’s company. They had talked a lot, about their wants, their fears, and everything else. Roxas found himself glancing over at Xed from time to time. And sometimes, he’d have the feeling like he was being watched. They started walking up to the door. Xed turned towards Roxas. “Today was reall— “ But before she could finish, Roxas dashed off towards the door to the Castle. “Roxas!” Xed called, confused. But Roxas opened the door and ran in, leaving it wide open. Xed cocked her head and ran after him into the Castle. +++ She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. All of the lights were turned out and, quite frankly, the Castle was sort of creepy. Xed looked around. “Roxas?” she called into the darkness. She heard feet shuffling in the kitchen. Xed chuckled softly, nervously. “Roxas, if you’re trying to scare me, I’m gonna kill you.” She said, walking into the kitchen. As she walked closer to the room, she could see a few small, bright lights. …Were they candles? As soon as she walked into the room, something clicked behind her and the lights came on. “SURPRISE!!!” Xed was shocked and surprised, stumbling back a little. She looked to see all of the Organization members (except for Saix and Xemnas) standing in front of the kitchen table. Xaldin, in the middle of them all, was holing a small sized light-blue frosted cake, with 15 brightly burning candles sticking on the top. Xed felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Roxas behind her, smiling wide. “Happy birthday, Xed.” Xed was shocked. She had never been used to celebrating her birthday, so she had forgotten it was today. She turned back around to everyone standing in front of the table. Everyone was smiling (except for Larxene, but, what do you expect?). “Happy birthday to you…” Xigbar started to sing. “Happy birthday to you…” Everyone sang. “Happy birthday dear Xed…” Xed smiled, slightly embarrassed, but mostly touched. “Happy birthday to you!!!” Roxas smiled at Xed, his had still on her shoulder. “Well, you gonna blow out your candles?” he asked. Xed stepped forward, still smiling, up to the cake. She leaned over it and blew gently, extinguishing the fire of the candles. Everyone clapped happily. “Presents!!!” Marluxia shouted. A box was passed through the crowd of Nobodies and placed in Xed’s hands. It was of medium sized, messily wrapped in black and white wrapping paper, a white bow placed far from the center. “I wrapped it myself!” Demyx said proudly, smiling. “We can tell…” Luxord said, rolling his eyes. Everyone laughed, and Demyx smirked angrily. Xed smiled. “Are you going to open it?” Vexen said, smiling. Xed then started to tear the paper off of the box. She placed it on the table, and lifted the lid. She gasped softly. It was an Organization coat. She pulled it out by the collar and held it out at arm’s length to examine it. She smiled. “Wow…” she breathed. Zexion smiled. “We thought you might like it.” He said. Xed was speechless. “After all…” Lexaeus said. “Ever since you’ve been here, you seem like part of the Organization…” Axel finished quietly. Xed smiled shyly. That was…the nicest thing anyone had ever said to her. “Thank you.” She said. Xaldin rolled his eyes and smiled. “Don’t thank us, thank Roxas.” He said. “Yeah, he thought of the whole thing.” Luxord said. Xed turned to look at Roxas, who was blushing insanely. “Yeah…well…I…I…just thought…it’d…make you…happy…and…I—“ Roxas’ stuttering was stopped by a sudden hug from Xed. He looked at her. She smiled. “Thank you, Roxas.” She said. Roxas, still surprised, placed his arms around her to embrace her hug. He smiled foolishly. An annoyed cough from Larxene forced them to pull away from each other and blush. “Okay, everyone’s happy, can we eat the cake now?” Larxene said. Axel nodded in agreement. “Yea!” he said, as Xaldin brought out a knife to start cutting the cake. All of the Nobodies gathered around to get some cake, except for Roxas. He had to still give her his present: Him telling her how he felt about her. Roxas grabbed Xed’s hand. She looked up at him. “Can I talk to you alone for a minute?” he asked. She nodded, and he pulled her out of the kitchen unnoticed, and brought her downstairs towards the Workshop, where no one would hear him. +++ They stood at the beginning of the hallway. Roxas looked at Xed. Just seeing her smiling at him made him blush. “What is it, Roxas?” Xed asked. Roxas blushed more. He loved the way she said his name. Luckily it was dark downstairs, so she couldn’t see him blushing. He took a breath. “Xed, I wanted to tell you that I—“ CRASH!!! Both of them looked up towards the Workshop, where the sound had come from. “What was that?” Roxas asked. But Xed didn’t answer. She immediately ran down the hall and ran into the room. Roxas ran after her. +++ The two examined the room. Nothing seemed to be wrong. “You know,” Roxas started, “maybe we were just—“ But he was cut off by a gasp from Xed. She walked over to a shattered glass case on the floor. The case that held her most powerful Keychains. She began picking up the Keychains off of the floor. Roxas walked over to her. “Are they all here? Any of them broken?” he asked. Xed shook her head. “No, they’re all fine…” she trailed off. Roxas looked at her. “Xed, what is it?” he asked, concerned. She looked up at him. Her eyes were wide, and full of terror. “I’m missing one…” she said, barely a whisper, fear and sadness dripping from her words. Roxas cocked his head. “Which one?” Xed took a breath. “The one…that steals peoples hearts…” ~~~~ Just a note: The whole 'Jessie McCartney' comment was suggested by sT3pH!e313 :D Thanks for the idea! IT WAS AWESOME! :D
lol relax! Its not about me :) But thank you for being concerned about me :D
You look through me, Like crystal glass. You treat me like nothing, Not even trash. Why won’t you notice? Why won’t you care? What can I do? To prove that I’m there? If I bruise my skin, If I shed a tear, If I cut my face, Will it prove that I’m here? If I shoot up drugs, If I slit my wrists, If I cause myself pain, Will it prove I exist? And although I hurt, No matter what I try, I’m still…not living… In your oblivious eyes… So maybe if I hurt, So maybe if I cry, Just maybe if I was dead, It’d prove I was alive. btw, this IS NOT from my view!!! This is from the view of someone who hates life. I love life very much :D I was just writing from another view. Thank you for reading :)
yay! Thank you all :D As for the 2-3 part, its like this: The LSSP is basically a rewrite of kh2 if i was to write it and change it (its also a partial rewrite of rikus side of COM, but its sorta small). the story then goes into what in my opinion should happen in kh3 (or whatever they all it) So its not KH 2: SOBD, its not KH 3: SOBD, its KH 2-3: SOBD :D
:D thank you! :) I wanted to add the demyx axel fight for a little humor :) thank you! :D Xemnas' idea will be revealed soon enough. As for Kuxir... You'll DEFINATELY hear more about him later....*pokes LSSP trailer*
