Tifa just blinked at his remark on Yuffie, her instincts definitely sensing there was something she wasn't to be told. It made her kind of worry a little, but she drove it away as she went to cuddle against him, smling up at his face, but pointed a accusing finger at him playfully. "You're hiding something from me, and it seems I'm being kept out of it." She remained quiet for a moment, just a moment as she studied his eyes carefully and intensely, and asked in a soft, weak voice as she began. "Do you love me?"
OOC: This got to be the longest meeting I had ever seen xDD. And lol, me and CG are in front and behind people D=. Axel was now looking each second from the two screens, switching them, though his eyes lingered on Larxene half the time. Wasn't there a way he could contact her, or speak to her, wthout giving himself away? As he thought on this, a high pitched giggle had echoed from the receptor that had Larxene in it, and he narrowed his eyes at the words. Why did that voice sound familiar...? And it was getting in the way on purpose, he didn't want to let Larxene think that Reixa was lying to her about this. That's a message he needed her to know. There has to be a way... And as his mind scrambled, his eyes widened as the perfect idea hit him, though as always, he needed Max's help. It was that guy who did something to him that can perhaps work in a different way. He just needed to wait for the male to come. Where was Max anyway?
OOC: If Shigiku can do a healing spell, can she heal Angel's eyes? Axel studied Shigiku for a moment, before giving her a comforting smile. She did look a bit lost, but that could be explained to her later on, any questions she might ask, he'll answer, unless there's point where he couldn't reply honestly to one. "Of course I'm fine, in both ways. I'm more worried about you, that Guardian is after your heart." He wouldn't beat around the bush, and sugarcoat anything anymore, he knew Shigiku wa smarter than she looked. Standing up properly, he grabbed Angel's elbow to show he was behind her, through the shield. "You think you can fight with you being blind? See? Didn't I tell you that you need to train?"
Tifa giggled, looking at him amusedly as she went to lay next to him, dragging her legs in, and wrapping the covers over both of them. "Don't ask Yuffie? You know that just makes me want to ask her, right?" Of course, unbeknownst to her, she had somewhat repeated Axel's words to him from before, yet it was more of a offhand comment. However, Tifa still couldn't help but question, "What in the world would you be talking to Yuffie about? Or rather, in her case, more like touching you." She pouted annoyingly at this. Axel watched as both of them went inside from the corner of his eyes, and as he looked in the front, he saw Demyx and Yuffie, and he did wonder for a moment if that would even work out. At least, it can perhaps teach his friend to talk to girls properly? Reaching Rei and Angel, he looked at both of them with a sheepish smile. "Well, guess the drama is over for now, isn't it? Still...I don't trust Cloud with her...God forbid he breaks her heart again..."
OOC: I thought Angel was outside the fire shield? xP And Angel can't control Axel's fire, by the way, is his (fire attacks won't affect her, but she can't control it), unles she like...put her own shield over it or something. Seeing as the Ansem Guardian wasn't attacking, and was down, for at least a while, his defenses went down for a tiny bit as he turned around, and went towards Shigiku, slashing a few Heartless that were now tempted by Angel's heart, though he ignored the fire female for a moment (though he glanced at her) as he passed through the shield of fire, chakrams still in his hands. He didn't take his eyes of the Guardian, however, so as he looked down at the little girl, he kept his focus on the enemy in case of attack. Breathlessly, he bent down to talk to Shigiku, smiling to the fact that she was alright. "You okay, Shi?"
OOC: Of course, Axel's protecting her <3. Ish his wittle Pumpkin xD. Database Errors suck -_-. It came back, and hopefully, they can work on permanently putting them away again. And the page can't load well either, so the whole thing is white and stuff *sigh* "Aw, f*ck, you got to be kidding me," Axel snarled to himself at what Xemnas had said, so now this thing couldn't be killed unless Ansem is defeated. Fantastic. At least it kept going to attack him, so Shigiku wouldn't be at the end of it. He was about to dive and go head to head with the Guardian, until suddenly it was smashed by a certain claymore. Sending a startled look at Saix, he checked behind for a second, and wideneded his eyes in surprise when he found Angel had finally woken up. Perfect, now she can help....if she works through her blindness. Igniting his chakrams full on fire, he sent them flying at the Guardian as well in blazing spinning boomerangs the moment Saix attacked it, and watched it fall back as the weapons went to plummet into him hard and harsh in flames, only for them to return to his hands in different turns as he caught one on top, and grab the one swirling to his side perfectly. Still focused, it was then he began explainingto Angel, "Xemnas' Heartless, that calls himself Ansem, is here, and there's a barage of Heartless, who were attacking us, but the rest went to attack the people who are running and trying to leave the ship. They...their hearts are being taken away, and the ones that the Heartless couldn't catch keep floating away.... not only that, but two giant, white Nobody,and black Heartless are fighting outside of the cruise, Saïx went Berserk, and damaged most of the ship before, and now while Xemnas and Ansem are fighting, we're keeping Ansem's Guardian away from Shigiku, who for some reason, wants her heart." He looked at Angel pleadingly, even if she couldn't see him. "Help protect her."
OOC: I want Heartless plushie too <3. And yay! I thought I was the only who thought them so KAWAII!! If we make the ship sink, is weird to end the thread, which is why I don't get why we have to damage it alot. And is not up to us, but up to Love, so...we can't decide, really. Not to mention is quite tragic, considering the people that might die. Axel ducked his head to avoid the punch, the fist touching his hair in a barely miss hit, and the very second he did, he lit the spikes of one chakram on hot and heated fire, and went to slash the Ansem Guardian around his torso in quick speed, setting his body on fire at the same time from the inside, hoping this would kill or injure him enough to back off, but he didn't care what he could do to avoid it as he continued to attack him. In rapid movement, he then delivered a kick to it, just to try push him back away from Shigiku as much as possible, growling angrily. "Go hunt something else, you b**tard, she has nothing to do wih this! And I swear you won't get to her unless you want to create suicide in the long run." Hell, he was ready to fight his hardest, he couldn't let Shigiku get her heart taken away, even if he faded in the process, which he won't. He'll make sure of that.
OOC: Am I the only one who thinks the small Shadow heartless are sooo cute? :3 Seriously, With the little feelers, and the way they walk? If they weren't out for your heart, they would be so huggable. "Not his keeper, but your boyfriend!" Axel exclaimed back, watching the white creature as he studied it, but he didn't seem to be doing anything bad, at least, he was attacking, but it wasn't at them, or at innocent people. It wasn't a enemy, the white gave it away, it was a Nobody, and he seemed to be battling a heartless just its huge height in black. Was it fighting the opposition? As he kept in thought, hearing Saix, but not replying, he suddenly found himself saying, knowing he got something wrong, "Wait, the white creature....that thing is on our team, as it's a Nobody. See? He's fighting that Heartless (Darkside), the very dark creature. I don't think it needs out help, but the people...." Axel shifted his head to look on the other side as he squinted, seeing that some of the boats that came with the ship in case of emergencies were being led out as more people panicked, but he already saw a couple of Heartless attacking, ad many pink colored hearts floating up to the sky. His grip on his the chakrams tightend as he he gritted his teeth. Damn it."What can we do?! The only way out is through boats, and they're already doing that, but is still dangerous!" He spotted Ansem suddenly going towards Shigiku, and summoned a fire wall to stop him for the moment as he went in front of the shield again in a quick run, willing to protect her...and Angel. OOC: We can't portal out of the ship, right? What did Love explain again?
OOC: Lmao xDDD. I just noticed that. Darn typos. And here I thought Yuffie might actually do something other than talk to Cloud and Tifa. Oh well...can't say it couldn't hurt to try xP. Fine then. Give me Demyx :D. "As ready as I'll ever be, I've been wanting to sleep," Tifa replied as she went to bed, which she had tended to, but now took the covers off again to get the rest she desperately wanted. Fixing up the pillows, she smiled, and turned to face him, a bit apprehensive. Hesitating for a little bit as she sat on the bed ready to retire her body for now, she asked softly, "So where did you go? And how did Yuffie know you were coming...?" She was wondering about that, and there was no harm in asking, was there?
OOC: Yeah, it would be hard to pass that off. Maybe she could simply use magic? Axel didn't know what happened, but the moment he saw white ribbons floating around the deck and outside, and the sudden screeching of the ship and how the it suddenly tilted, making the floor on his room uneven, it was something big and heavy. Very big and heavy. Then he heard people's screams and shouts, and running footsteps, which only made the situation worse, as now innocent passengers were getting involved, and with the Heartless around, hunting for hearts... "Sh*t," Axel cursed under his breath, forgetting for that second that Shigiku was behind him. And it proved right, the Heartless that were here started to disappear as they sensed panic and hearts in bodies, going for new victims. Walking off for a moment to look outside his door, knowing that the girls would be really safe now, he peered out as he heard a high roar, and he gaped as his eyes took in the huge white beast. Holy... While he could handle it, as much as the other Organization members, they needed Roxas and the keyblade for this, as that weapon had a certain magic that would help, most definitely. And though he was at odds with his suppose best friend for what he said to him the last time, there was no doubt they needed him now. "Namine! Where's Roxas?!"
OOC: Axel doesn't hate Yuffie (he had never said that), just think she's annoying xP. Remember their first meeting? xDD Chocobo, lol. Tifa did actually compare his hair to that in FF7, and I remember Cloud cross-dressing too.... "I'm just going to leave you guys alone for the little while? You know, new friendships. Okay? Okay! Demyx, make sure to call me. See ya!" Axel exclaimed quickly, pushing Demyx a bit closer to Yuffie, before waving at him, and beginning to walk away, sending him a thumbs up behind Yuffie's back, hoping this would be quite the start for him. Who would've known that his suggestion would actually come true now? Giving them one last glance, he made his way fast to Tifa's dorm, seeing Cloud and her hugging, but not minding it for once, yet Rei was there, and they still had that outing. Axel was in a much better mood after talking to a close friend of childhood memories, and he hoped that now that they had girls, or at least Demyx might get one now, wouldn't stop them from getting to hang out a lot. Tifa eyed him confused for a minute, but since she had wanted sleep and to rest from the beginning, didn't complain, and nodded. She looked at her girl friends at this to sent them the message, before turning back to Cloud, not noticing Axel approaching after leaving Demyx and Yuffie alone. "Sure thing, I really need to...calm down. You're staying in my bed, right?" "Who's who in what bed?" Axel asked suddenly in a teasing tone, sticking his tongue out at Tifa as he reached her. Before, he would've objected to the idea completely, but he didn't think it could get as far as having sex together, which they already did, so complaining about them going to sleep would be pointless on his part. He gazed at Tifa questionably, and she only smiled and spoke that it was alright with her eyes, which was enough, as they glittered. Axel let it go, reluctantly, but he did, Cloud did come back, after all, but he was going to find out what was it that he didn't trust about him. Sending him a suspicious look before staring back at Tifa, he placed a arm around her shoulders, and kissed her forehead lightly in a comforting manner. "You'll be fine?" "Yeah, I will, I'll buy the test tomorrow when the girls and I go out, and I already made the doctor's appointment before you guys came, though it was a bit...hard," Tifa answered as Axel released her, staring at him intensely. It seemed he had calmed or backed down from how he was recently, which was something she should be thankful for. No more fighting. She saw him smile, before beginning to turn around. "Talk to you, later?" "Hell yeah," Axel replied in a heart beat, especially with this whole pregnancy problem that he was hoping was just a scare. Ignoring Cloud's presence, he gave her a short, lazy wave, and went to go to Rei, to see what is it they were going to donow.
OOC: Shigiku's okay. She's under Axel's fire shield...with Angel. You keep wondering how someone could sleep through all this..o.O. "She's fine," Axel answered for her, setting fire to a few more Heartless. He loved a good battle, but this was turning more of a clean up and work than it actually being interesting. He even wanted a hand to fight this Ansem that started this problem, but he needed to pay close attention to Shigiku...and Angel. "Try not to go Berserk again, Saix, you might kill us all. Especially since you're in my room. Do not destroy my room...though I'm not helping..." He looked disappointingly around, but luckily, the worse thing was that the floor was tainted. Spotting a much bigger Heartless than the rest, bigger than his height, he set one chakram on fire, and spun it, letting it go as he watched it hit the creature in a sound of bells and metal, and push it back, only for its body to set in flames all over the very second it made contact with the weapon and die. "At least this is helping in getting closer to our Kingdom Hearts, right?" He saw the pink heart float up, and go through the ceiling.
OOC: Not explode. Combust and take the whole school and inhabitants with him ala his death xP. Tifa was thrown off a loop as Cloud's arms wrapped around her, and pulled her tight into a hug. A bit surprised, she paused for a moment, before returning it and digging her face into his shoulder. Breathing in relaxation, she whispered, "Sorry for what I said from before, I was just frustrated. I wanted to follow you, but Axel said not to, and to let you come back on your own. And you did...I knew it..." She smiled at this, glad that the worry she had in mind and heart didn't come true. Cloud wasn't the type to leave at a time like this, and maybe this would finlly prove to Axel that he was alright, and to get off his back. Axel simply eyed Cloud when he passed them, but didn't say anything, he ignored him, then he'll do the same, unless the occasion calls for it. He was betting he wouldn't come back, yet he was man enough to, whatever was his problem. Good. He knew how Tifa would've reacted otherwise, and was glad he didn't have to watch her again being in pain from a broken heart, it didn't change the fact that he suspected Cloud though. Nudging Demyx by his side, he nodded his head to the blond. "That's Cloud, as you know. He came back, surprisingly..." It wasn't much later when they were disrupted by a very happy voice, and Axel looked to his side to find the suppose 'sugar and crack' girl actually talking to them. He blinked. He didn't expect her to come right now with them or even be here, and it was out of nowhere, though now Demyx might have a chance to have a girl, despite his I like being single speech. But...Axel honestly didn't predict it, yet might as well take your blessings as they come. Smirking, he clapped a hand to Demyx's back. "Hey! Oh,wait...since you know me, let me introduce you to my friend, his name is Demyx. Demyx, this is Yuffie..." He emphasized it roughly as he gave him a look.
Axel groaned, as he took care of another Heartless with a slash of his chakrams, as well as getting rid of the rest with a blast of fire, watching them disappear. At this rate, Saix is a nuisance, instead of help, the ship would sink, and Axel didn't even know why he had to go Berserk for Heartless? Glancing back to see if Shigiku and the sleeping Angel were alright, he turned his attention back to what they were doing. "Could somebody stop the guy before we all drown?"
OOC: Yeah, but he made it worse unintentionally. She'll be depressed, if only for awhile until she comes to terms with it, but now she'll freaking break considering what you guys have been through, especially with sleeping with her and all. In other words, she'll be more depressed now than she would've been just simply accepting that he doesn't love her. Tifa didn't answer Yuffie, just simply stared at her grimly before going to lay against the surface of the door, sighing. She didn't know what to think of Cloud reappearing, but at least he was coming. She spotted him coming from the corner where Axel and Demyx were coming back from their walk of catching up, and she felt a bit relieved and happy that she wouldn't have to go through this alone. Guess it was just simply a 'breath of fresh air' that he needed, though Tifa had no idea what to say.
OOC: True, but it does feel odd...all I'm saying is poor Tifa T.T. Maybe she should go with Rude xP. Or Leon. "You're right, though I like blondes better, is always been something of mine," Axel admitted, and for once, it really wasn't part of his liking for Larxene, he really was prone to blondes, he chose them most of all from before. His last girlfriend was blonde, though it didn't really work out. But what Demyx said is true, it depends on personality most, and that's...what keeps him hung up. "So you're saying you might actually give this Yuffie a chance? Interesting...very. Anyway, are you sure you don't want a small fight? We'll both hold back...then again, this place might get wet. With Cloud always damaging the walls for no reason...Saix is going to go berserk on us."
This has got to be one of the most amsusing news I've gotten yet. I never cared to keep up with Hilton and her exploits, but this is worthy. I can't say it serves her right on my part, though I will: Serves her right! D:< What happens to the sister though? What's her name? Nicky Hilton?
That's actually from Harry Potter, isn't it? xD Dudley and Harry. I just cracked up since someone just called Harry a cynical ba*tard xDD. But moving to the question, I pretty much agree with Repliku. I don't think intelligence requires you to only be book smart, get excellent grades, because there are many forms to it. Anyone who can scheme and manipulate are definitely intelligent on planning ahead, and make their own conclusion by going with people's emotions, in some manner. A street wise person can also be considered intelligent due to his knowledge, ifs and donts, and what not. Alos someone with experience can be intelligent, because that is a sign of wisdom, which I consider to be smart in the emotional or spiritual sense, if you get me. Shouldn't this go in the Intelligent Discussion board? xP
I think is merely because in CoM, they didn't think that far up to the point of KH2. And if anything, we might find out in 358/2 Days, if the CoM members don't go all underrated again.
"Oh, I'm not picking a fight today, I'm not into it. And when I'm not into it, I just don't do as well. Though you owe me one, and let's see if you've improved, I like to see it for myself. Though, I'm really curious now...," Axel trailed, noticing they were walking far off down the hall, to the point where he couldn't even see Tifa's room or the people anymore. Did they turn a corner? Looking around, he turned his body to head back, wanting to see if Cloud would come, and not stray too far away either. Gesturing to Demyx to follow, he added, as he thought on it for awhile, "I really do want a small spar for a bit, you hooked me on that, you know, and your little water clones. And, not to be 'romantic' or anything, but which do you prefer? Red, blonde, or brunette?"
