OOC: Bah! Lol xDD. I'd only say he's lucky if the real Larxene does it, though that one is better than nothing. Axel hissed in a breath the moment their chests made contact, and as much as he tried to ignore her soft pillows pressing against him, he felt a heat rise in his body like a mist, swirling inside from the pelvis and up, until it burned, and he suddenly found himself quiet, tensely unmoving, his eyes only blinking, and as he went to push her off again, his arms were stiff, so he didn't make her even stumble. This would be easier to deal with if she didn't have a bikini top the way she did, that way he wouldn't have to even feel their skin grazing each other. .. Axel shut his eyes tight, willing himself to cool down, she wasn't real, wasn't real...she wasn't his Larxene... This time managing to push her off enough to break the connection, he opened his eyes, and said low and roughly, "Get out before you die...what really are you?"
Axel went to back off again, but found that he had reached the cold surface of the tub as the back of his legs made contact, no way out except to get back in again, and he knew he would just get cornered in another way, so it was useless. This was getting too intense for him, and his thoughts of Larxene and how much he missed her, her kisses, her touches...were clouding his senses...and for a second...one second, he was tempted, but he wasn't going to. Because he couldn't get close to the real one, didn't mean he had to go for the fake, despite the exact appearance. He didn't even know what the heck was she. Seeing her come face to face with him now, he swerved his eyes downward to avoid her gaze, and it turned out to be a bad idea, as he got a unintentional look of her chest from the top. His eyes immediately snapped upwards again as he felt his cheeks burn a little, and placed his hands on her arms trying to push her away. "Really? Then the only way you can make me happy is by leaving."
"You expect me to relax when I'm supposely seeing my girl in a bikini?" Axel questioned wryly, backing away from her a few steps. He didn't know why he was debating whether this was real or not, it should be clear to him, no matter how convincing she seemed, but inside, he truy did wish Larxene would be here, not even in a bikini, just to simply see her. Axel didn't know what to do with this problem...a part of him told him to blast her away in a blaze...but he couldn't. Even when his arm was raised up ready, looking or not looking at her...he just couldn't, and he didn't know whether to hate himself for that. Breathlessly, he questioned, "Why ae you doing this?"
Where's the damn towel?! Axel took back his hand exasparated when he was touching nothing, but air, and he did remember the towel was perched a bit farther away from before. It was like this place was made specifically for his misery, and now he had to think of a way to cover himself. He could peek through with his eyes to see exactly where that fluffy cloth was, and get it right away, though he didn't want to look at Larxene again. She wasn't the real one, at least he thought so...so what was the harm? He grew even more impatient when he heard the footsteps coming, and shifting the curtains again to look out, ignoring this Larxene the best he could, he went to reach out, and managed to grab the towel, and he slid it off just as fast, and disappeared behind the curtain with it. He quickly dried his skin, though the air helped with that, and he soon wrapped the pink towel, with the unicorn picture, around his hips and tied it tight. He let out a breath, now feeling less...open, despite being bare chested. Now that he was concealed, he pulled back the curtains fully, and stepped out, making sure to keep his eyes on Larxene's face only, his tone tight, "As much as I like to believe it, I can't. What are you?"
OOC: Lol xD! Axel remained quiet now, his eyes narrowing as he went in though, and the explanation would've work if Max didn't reprimand him before about doing something reckless...unlesss...no, he wasn't going to believe this. Hesitantly, he pulled the curtain a bit just to peer through to see who really was this, but what he saw wasn't something he expected. Hell, it wasn't even thought of once. 'Larxene' was in a black bikini, and for a second he stood eyeing her in shock, his eyes trailing her long, soft, ivory skinned legs, that ranged beautfully to her flat stomach and perfect hour glass curves, to her quite now revealing bust and bust line, only held on by that strip of black, and finally, he looked at her pretty, rosy cheeked, blue eyed face, with her rose lips in a sly curl, and her sunny blonde locks around her as a finishing touch... Damn... He quickly pulled back from seeing anything else as he sent his head back, getting away from him looking at her, out of respect and for his own sake. That couldn't be...Larxene wasn't the type to degrade herself this way, as sexy and luscious as that was. Though she did abnormally appear exactly like her, like a clone, and he should know, since he saw more than he should've before he had die. That wasn't going to work though, using that type of ploy against him, but now he wanted more than ever to grab that towel before 'she' stepped any closer. "And throw our whole plan away? I don't think so." He hated how his voice sounded constricted now, his hand trying for a unnoticed way to get the towel, but he asked anyway, "What exactly do you want?" Hopefully, that wasn't a stupid question that will get back at him.
Axel remained stiff for a moment as the voice reached his ears in a echo, something akin to hope swirling in his stomach, even his brain seemed to pause, but he snapped out of it when his mind drove on logic; Larxene will never know he was here, especially in a bathroom, and will never step inside, but instead wait for him, unless she wanted revenge for last time he spied on her. So who was this imposter? He slammed down the shower tab, making it go into the faucet mode, and then turned the water knob to off to stop the water as he was finished, his body dripping wet, but his hair drying already. The place was silent, and he wondered if he could go get that stupid pink towel outside now that someone was here. Eyeing the leaf lke curtain, he spoke dryly, "Course I haven't forgotten you, but...I do wonder how'd you know I was here..."
Axel mood lifted, just a little, due to the fact that he managed to wash himself clean with soap, and brushed his teeth quickly. Of course, his arm didn't stay out that long before a vine went to grab it as he was getting his toothpaste and toothbrush, and he had to struggle, almost falling over the tub, but with a spark of fire, he got out of it. They don't seem to like fire, which was good, damn plants. And now, he was rinsing his hair from the shampoo, which was weird, because considering the situation Max placed him in, he wouldn't expect shampoo, or conditioner, or the hair products around him. Then he thought, that Max is a pretty boy, so he will have such things as hair care products on him. Axel never used conditioner, because other than the fact that his hair was water-resistant, it remains soft, silky, and untangled by itself. And is naturally spiky. Can't go wrong with that. As he was about done, he heard giggling, that he couldn't hear well through the shower noise, but the recognizable feeling that he had heard it before didn't escape him, and he turned his head sideways, frowning. Great. What now? Just when things were looking up for him. "Who's there?!"
OOC: LMAO xDDD. Where you come up with that?! Though really, Skittles...taste the rainbow. Reminds me of this one shot of Larxel that I read... Anyway, I do wonder what they were thinking when naming them, "skittles" x.x. Axel laughed at her accent, not that it was bad, but when she went through it all, down to the last syllable, and it came out hilarious. Pulling their locked arms forward as they began to walk, he turned his head to her, "We shall, my lady." He paused for a moment, before also saying, in his normal voice, "What do you think of this whole pregnancy thing anyway? I never got to hear your opinion. And I wasn't exactly acting...maturely, ahem. But I don't know, there's something about Cloud that just...makes me hate he's with Tifa...I have a little sister, so I guess the instinct of a brother is inscribed in me...she's the only one I have left..."
Is it just me, or do I see Aqua less fair skinned than Kairi or Namine? Maybe is the dark hue of the Ending Video. I don't take the "dark tanned skin" of the 14th to heart, because her face is under the hood, which casts a shadow. Look at the picture or scan again, there's no light coming through, and if it did, it wouldn't pass the collarbone. IMO, she's lighter skinned, and it seems "tan" because of the fact that her head is covered and the light can't illuminate it. I don't know, I just took that in consideration.
Axel chuckled, shrugging as he gave her a small smile. She had a point, there was still enough daylight left, and he did kind of promise. Glancing over to where Demyx and Yuffie were, he put away his tired body, especially after all the drama, and held out his arm for her to take, setting his attention back on her, a smile on his face. He really thought they are going to have fun, and he needed some relaxation after all the problems, and he wanted to take his mind off things. "Then we shall explore the wonders of the sea together now. We must giddy up though, before the night catches us." He said this in his perfected English accent, feeling silly for once in this day. Rei just gave that vibe.
*cracks knuckles and gets animé list from all she watched in her life* Let's see....I'll start simple. Mind you, I go for typical. ALL the FF main couples (obvious), but since FF7 is a bit different as there's two: Cloud x Aerith KH: Axel x Larxene Sora x Kairi Roxas x Naminé Hayner x Olette Terra x Aqua - (However, I need to see how these Trio's relationship works first before making it official) Now to the Rest Link x Zelda (Zelda Series) Mamoru x Usagi (Sailor Moon) Yusuke x Keiko (Yu Yu Hakusho) Inuyasha x Kagome / Miroku x Sango (...Inuyasha) Tamahome x Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi) Heero x Relena (Gundam Wing) Tenchi x Ryoko (Tenchi Muyo) Hayama x Sana (Kodomo no Omocha) Takuto x Mitsuki (Full Moon wo Sgashite) Hayate x Himeno (Pretear) Yuu x Miki (Marmalade Boy) Shinji x Asuka (Neon Genesis Evangelion) Hikaru x Akari (Hikaru no Go) Kyo x Tohru (Fruits Basket) Daiki x Meimi (Saint Tail) Daichi x Himeko (Hime-chan no Ribbon) Kaito x Lucia (Mermaid Melody) Chiaki/Sinbad x Maron/Jeanne (Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne) Ed x Winry (Full Metal Alchemist) Sakataki x Kyoko (Time Stranger Kyoko) Ayumu x Hiyono (Spiral) Natsume x Mikan (Gakuen Alice) Syaoran x Sakura (Card Captor Sakura/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle) Kenshin x Kaoru (Rurouni Kenshin) Fakir x Ahiru (Princess Tutu) Spike x Faye (Cowboy Bebop) Yukito x Misuzu (AIR) Vash x Meryl (Trigun) Ichigo x Orihime (Bleach) Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny: Kira x Lacus Athrun x Cagalli Shinn x Lunamaria Mu La Flaga x Murrue Naruto: Naruto x Hinata Naruto x Sakura Sasuke x Sakura Neji xTenten Digimon: Matt x Sora Tai x Mimi Davis x Kari Ken x Yolei Takato x Jeri Takuya x Zoey - Hate to go with some of the English names, but I thought it will be more known.
Definitely Digimon. While I used to be more prone to Pokémon in childhood, Digimon was the best in moral lessons, story background, plot, different and new characters, fresh ideas, and overall storyline with hints to past connections. DIGIMON. Oh yeah, and people age, or at least we know how old they are. That's all there is to say on that, as it had been said by many others. Pokemon used to be good the first two seasons or so, but then it just went downhill from there, I think on the Johto season or after. Too repetitive, too childish, and quite boring now. The only thing about Pokémon I watch now is the movies (and play the games, of course :D), which has what the series should have. I don't know how many times I'm going to hear Team Rocket blasting off over and over before I smash my head on the table to make it stop. All the episodes are the same, but with different people. Ash is in the road with the gang, meets random stranger who has a problem, befriends, and helps, which usually involves Team Rocket barging in, and blah. The only difference are the leagues, contests, and when there is a special presenting a legendary Pokémon, and that's it. Is sad, because it's like the writers are lazy, and save their best for the movies. And the thing that is even more sad, is that Pokémon can still have potential, no, it HAS the potential to be amazing (look at the games), but for whatever reason, they never go that far to reach it. I see a episode, and think of cooler ways that they might do to it than keeping it with the same old rhythm. Realism and a bit of more violence (not ZOMGB3!BLOODZ!!) wouldn't hurt either. Shame.
Axel went forward, and peered around the bathroom door way, finding no one else inside. To be sure though, he stepped outside to explore the room, his eyes searching anywhere for any signs of the male, but nothing seemed suspicious or out of the ordinary, even when he raised his senses. Sighing, he went to his still opened suitcase, and placed the bag he had in there comfortably in a space, wanting Shigiku to stay in the bathroom in case something happens. He had placed his toothbrush, towel, everything in there as of now, since the front door was broken, and he was going to find them another empty room, which should be easy considering how many people this cruise had lost. Fingering the present Angel had left for him, temptation told him to open it, but he held back as he needed to do something first, and he wanted to see it when in peace. Sitting down at the end of the bed, he turned to look at Shigiku, and tapped his lap. "Come sit here, I'm going to tell you what I left from my explanation before now..."
OOC: Understandable xP. "Good, I wish I could return the hug, but my hands are busy," Axel commented with a sheepish smile, pointing with his head to Shigiku to what he had, the jewelry box in one, and the bag in the other. Now, it was time to go outside, and deal with the man who never stops getting into his room, among others. But now, he didn't hear anyone, but you can never be too careful. "Hey, Shi, can you open the door for me? And then come right by my side, I don't know if the guy is still out there..."
Axel remained on the floor, not wanting to move to get up until some of the aching pain went away, his eyes closed. This was all Max's idea of amusement, he knew, he was probably watching all this right now, laughing his a** off, and oh, how he was going to pay. But he was going to take that shower. He was going to take it, even if it killed him...again. The rustle kept moving around, he sometimes even felt it, but letting out a tired breath, he made his way to get up as he opened his eyelids, the shower still running. He was a bit clumsy, as he tried to get his balance in order, but then managed to stand upright, and immediately took his shirt off, and started to discard the rest of his clothing. They were trash anyway, so he didn't care...whatever creatures were around here did with them. He then heard some squeaking, not by a animal, but some weird squeaking, and he shuddered, hearing more movement in the bathroom. But Axel wasn't going to be surprised by anything in this bathroom anymore, because now he was aware to expect the unexpected...which makes it the expected, but....get the point. He stiffened though when he felt something slimy coming into his bare back, and taking off his boots, and everything else left quickly, which took about a minute or two, he jumped in the bath tub fast after a run, and drew the curtains closed in a harsh rush as the water now fell upon his nude body, inside. Okay, he'll be away from stuff now, right?
"The wholel dam--darn SHIP is a trace that Ansem was here. Check the destruction if you're not blind!" Axel replied scathingly, trying to watch his mouth from Shigiku this time, putting his sleeping clothes and what he wore before in a white bag that he brought. Fixing his trench coat as he looked in the bathroom mirror, he spotted at the corner of his eyes the jewelry box that Angel had left, and not wanting to forget it, picked it up with his free hand that didn't hold the baggage, and turned around to face the door, dismissing the fire wall as the flames flickered out. He then looked at the girl, spreading his arms wide playfully. "How do I look? Aren't I handsome?"
OOC: Xangel has a pet now xD. Aw, a Moogle would be nice as one, they're handy. Okay Axel, it was probably your mind playing tricks, because this whole crap of a bathroom is like a build in forest. Yes, that's it... He let out a sigh, his breathing now uneven, and if he had a heart, it would be pumping a million times a second right now. However, his eyes still searched around the place, only landing at the stupid unicorn pictured, fluffly pink towel, and cautiously moved away the leaves that would suffice as a shower curtain, sliding it down the rod that held it, revealing the inside of the bath. He waited for a moment, but nothing happened. Good. This was so weird, it wasn't even funny. His hand reaching down to grab the knob, he twisted it open so water began to flow out, and kept turning it into the red marked side of it, which was hot. Checking the water temperature, he slid it more, until it was in the degree he wanted, and with one flick, released the tab to use the shower, and just a second after, water like rain fell over from the top. Straightening up, the only thing left to do now was take his clothes off, but this bathroom was so uncomfortable to him, that it really didn't feel right. He heard the rustle again, more louder, and he froze. Turning his head around stiffly, his eyes widened when he found the door was completely blocked by vines now, though thankfully, he could portal. But what made him jump again was when he felt something wrapping around his ankle and bottom leg, more coming, and he tried to get out in a sort of panic action, and it only made him really trip over this time, his body thumping on the floor in a crash. He moaned at the pain in his head, and the clash as his nose made contact with the surface, muttering to himself in irritation, "Ow...that's it...I'm moving out...f*ck..."
Yay! :3 Larxene finally makes the scenes, huh? And she's awesome. I think is true, that was perhaps the most dramatic chapter (and longest). You know I'll be waiting for Chapter Four to see how this will come to xP.
OOC: The only human contact is Max....poor Axel :D. Axel closed the door quietly, now utterly...afraid. The place was like a jungle, the thing was covered with flowered infested vines, some that striped along the surfaces of the pink walls, even. It coiled around the edges of the bathroom mirror, which was also a cabinet, like a normal decoration, as for the pink toilet, the vines happened to take over that as well, unfortunately. The floor was filled with different types of leaves, and the bathtub was normal, pink, but normal, thankfully, and the knob was too, but the showerhead seemed to be made of vines, to add more of them. The shower curtain were also green leaves, that basically draped like a sheet to cover. He sighed, not believing this, and as he went to put his load on the top of the toilet lid, he heard a rustle of leaves, and something moving, which made him jump up, almost making him trip over his feet, his eyes shifting around frantically to see what the hell was that. Holy sh*t, did that crap just move?!!
OOC: True xD. I almost forgot that Axel has the tight sleeves instead of the loose ones. Who else has it like that? I only know Xigbar... Oh yeah! And Demyx! :3 I guess you can choose what type xD. Axel chuckled as Shigiku studied it, and draping it over his shoulder, he went to get his gloves, and placed it on his hands first, flexing his fingers as he eyed it, the feel of it was like it had been so long since he had worn them. The cloak came next, and hooping his arms into the sleeves, which were the tight type, he dug through it easily, and fixed up his hood and collar, before heading to the zipper. Sliding the ends of the metallic toothed strips of fabric tapes at the top through the two zippers, he grabbed the bottom zipper one, and dragged it down as it closed with the buzz until he stopped it just in the middle of his thighs. And he was done, just in time to hear the guy outside ask if he was allowed to come in. The answer was simple. "NO!" OOC: I tried to explain it the best I could xP. If you noticed, the Org. cloak has two zippers, one that stays at the top, and the other that is at the botttom, wherever the members stop it at.
