Axel just simple sent her a look to "stay out of this", the same message, yet without saying it out loud this time, wanting to hear explanations from Marluxia first. Riku nodded as he gave a smile for her excitement, and lead her carefully to the wooden surface outlining the part of the gym, making sure not to bump into people along the way, noting that the long table for the food was yet to be here. It seemed it was either after, or in the middle that they were going to eat. He couldn't believe he got a date, and has his own girl to be his love, and ponderes over how Sora was doing with Kairi. Getting to a free table as he passed a blond, and the Skater he knew as Tifa, he pulled out a chair, sending Sharix a wink. "Thanks, I want to be...nice. Or at least, capable. Heh. You seem to be happy, you like dances so much?"
Roxas noted the sudden intruder, though wasn't really alert, he...too tired to try anything right at the moment, unless it endangers Axel, though he was surprised this Xangel got rid of her, though the punch was harsh. He sighed, thinking of where he was going to sleep, maybe there was a sleeping bag here. Vexen kept a lot of things in his lab, yet he had to look...
OOC: Okay then, I'll just save, I guess ^^;. "Angel, stay out of this," Axel ordered her, glaring down at Marluxia, feeling a sudden dread come over him at his words, though he didn't know how he found out, if that's what it even was. Whatever the case, he wasn't going to fight in his dressing clothes, and if he wanted some fun, better after the dance. He wasn't fazed at all by him taking out his weapon, but he wouldn't take out his, not yet. Trying to assure himself if what he knows is true, he responded calmly, almost entertained as he smirked, "I don't know what you're talking about, you Pink Flower Gaywad. I'm not the ****** and idiot here who tries to kick men in the balls as the dishonorable way out..." He narrowed his eyes. "Explain to me what you know and how you heard it." That's what he wanted to know, he was positive Larxene didn't tell him. "We'll have fun, I'm not that bad....I hope," Riku replied sheepishly, sending a chuckle, as he guided them both inside the gym, the song now pounding loud in his ears. His eyes searched the place, getting full bit by bit, but still nobody he knew. He noticed a few tables set for when they eat at the far side. "Want to seat, until things get better here?"
Axel blocked the attack on his privates, once again, a bit surprised at the sudden interruption of Marluxia. Though it manged to hit the hands that blocked it, and he tried not to winced when his foot hit his knuckles. Composing himself, he pushed Marluxia back, ignoring Angel. Now Axel was alert, and wondered what caused the sudden attack..and he almost paled at the thought. No way, he couldn't know, and getting himself back together, now on defense, he growled, "What the hell is your problem?!"
Axel blinked, a bit suspicious at the sudden look and tone, but simply nodded with a genuine smile on his face. Though it made him wonder now, as people don't say things like that unless something happened, and whatever it is, Angel's on his side. But what is it? His voice gentle, trying not to sound tense, he replied, "Okay, thanks...really. And if anything, I'll always have your back too..." He gave a firm nod at this, for her to know he meant it. At this, Riku picked up a bit on their speed, going down the stairs, and reaching the basement, the music getting louder every step. Going through the black door, they made into the hall, and were now walking towwards the gym's entrance, the sound booming againts the walls. "Hopefully, everyone's dancing right now. Usually, is boring at first, since they aren't liven up yet, but once it gets heated, they turn off the lights...and then you'll have your fun." He smirked slyly at her.
OOC: The thing is, your Organizations castle is in another world, and in a place called Shrouded City, covered by a forest. The true Orgnaization XIII's castle is in the World That Never Was...so just to say ^^;. They're not near.
Axel took his eyes away from Rei for a moment after his remark, and eyed Angel behind her from the doorway. He raised a eyebrow, the comment making him remember the time spent with Larxene, wanting to smirk at the thought, yet he couldn't say it. "Just somewhere...I was actually in the roof, it's calm up there, so I took a break, and fell asleep. Saïx is going to kill me..." So he opted for half the truth, after all, that would've been what he would have done if he didn't meet up with Larxene. Tifa sighed, hesitating, but nodded anyway. She looked at Cloud, almost amused, but still alert. "I agree. Besides, I'm not sure Axel's the one who's going to get his *ss kicked between the two. I hope he didn't hear the part of the Axel and Larxene...you know...I think he just heard about him harming her..." And if Marluxia did find out, it was Larxene's job to handle it, though Axel might get in it. She almost jumped when she heard the music began toplay, and her eyes brightened when she looked around, the gym almost getting full by now. "Yes! Finally!" "Then we'll be embarrassed together then," Riku proclaimed, now both making their way into the shcool building. Even from here he could hear the sound of the music beginning to play, and he wondered if they were abit late. "Besides, you won't get all frozen with me...just loosen yourself up, I know you can do it."
"He isn't a bad guy," Roxas corrected, sighing as he looked around. He didn't know why he was even talking to her, but she didn't seem to be doing anything, might as well have some company. Another thing was how he was going to rest, since he had to keep a eye out for Zexion or anyone who wishes to do harm. "But...he's a wild card, so you do have to be careful a bit, you never really know what he's thinking sometimes..." Now he didn't know why he was talking about Axel's personality, but it was something.
OOC: Yeah...but we weren't walking in the first place (I left off him at the door still). Rei has to respond to Axel...I know she's gonna try something. And wow, Firekeyblade, you make it sound like she's gone forever xDD (..she'll appear..T-T).. And oh darn, forgot about Riku. Riku grasped her hand softly, and they both began to walk down the hall, heading for the dance. They had to get out of the dormitory building, and from there, get into the school building's basement where the gym was located. Staring at her, he asked, "You know how to dance right? I-I mean, I'm not doubting you or anything, just saying...I'm not...that good mysefl...a-hem..."
OOC: Can't do anything with chula not here ^^;. Weird...she wasn't on today at all.
OOC: Today seems so empty...not that active in the threads, I mean. "Very well, then, I'll be glad to leave you," Vexen excused, as he gave the young man a evil eye, before getting up from the chair he brought over. He placed it back where it was, and without a glance, went to go back to his private office, knowing this was a waste of time. He passed Xangel, not even looking at her, of caring if she heard, and opened the door, closing it behind him, locked. Vexen looked around, walking to his desk, with hopefully, no more interruptions. "He does need Viagra, ASAP..." Roxas muttered to himself as he watched the grumpy old man go inside, remembering what Axel once told him about Vexen not so long ago, but what felt like forever. When he asked what viagra was though, Axel just stated that he was better of not knowing with that smirk of his, and no matter what he wouldn't budge. So Roxas was left dumbfounded, until he found out by library. He didn't think he was that young to know about that, and when he told Axel he found out, his friend just laughed. He looked back at said friend inside the casket, though directly, his own chair leaning on the side as he guarded. "Stupid..."
Roxas listened intently, trying not to miss anything that Vexen was saying. Now he knew about how Zexion sensed Axel and Larxene close, until a point where they caught them. And how protective and concerned Axel was of her, considering he went to Shrouded City two times to find her. All it did is show Roxas how much Axel loved her and all the things he did, not the other way around. Larxene had yet to show anything that seemed to prove her "love" for him. She has done nothing so far. Then he heard as he explained Max, and whatever scheme he was planning, and that it concerned the said couple a lot. He didn't know much, so Roxas kept in mind to question Axel about it later...because he was going to live. Positive. After that, they got more recent, to Saïx, and how the deal came to be. Whatever happened, it seemed Axel made sure that Larxene stayed safe from harm, either from Xemnas or the Luna Diviner. Yep, Axel definitely loves Larxene way more than she does him, if she even really does at all. "Anything else you'd like to know?" Vexen questioned tiredly, wanting to go back already, and leave. He needed Roxas to say no, of all things, or maybe he should simply deny him any more information. Roxas wanted to ask about why Zexion tried to literally kill a already close to death Axel, but seeing that Vexen kept anything concerning the guy except how he scented Axel and Larxene, it was obvious he didn't want him to know, and wouldn't tell him if asked. "Nah, that's enough. I got what I wanted to know...."
"Really? Well, I kind of don't like her..." Tifa proclaimed to him, remembering the day she first met Larxene. She couldn't believe a girl like her would talk to Cloud and didn't care, then again...she did kiss Axel in the roof, who's a Skater. But, it didn't change her attitude. Tifa thought over if she told Cloud that one day that seemed so long ago now about how they met, until she heard what Marluxia said. Blinking, and without getting up from her seat, before she could stop herself she called, "And why would you do that, Marluxia?!"
"Well, I don't think he meant to do that. I mean, I was there. Larxene was hitting and pushing him, a big slap too, for no reason, at all, seriously she just went at him out of nowhere. Axel was trying to hold her back, and I guess he put a little too much strength. Besides, knowing Axel....if what he and Larxene have is a bit more, he'll feel bad," Tifa explained, a bit airily, though she blinked twice in surprise when she noted what Cloud said. She eyed him oddly. "Wait...she's your friend?" "Off to the Welcome Back To School Dance!" Riku exclaimed, purposely saying it aloud like announcer as he twirled Sharix around, enjoying more of the view as he gazed at her figure. Smiling, he expertly twirled her back in his arms, giving a quick, but sweet kiss on her lips, as he laid his forehead against hers, even for just a moment. Pulling away, he guided her slowly as they began walking. "Hopefully, this will be interesting. The dancing and all..." OOC: And Axel did apologize in their roof top moment xD. I wish chula was here...not using Axel is like, a part of me is missing xP.
Tifa frowned, forgetting about the Axel and Larxene problem. Even though he wanted him and Rei to be together, he had to defend him somehow, since it wasn't like that. "He's not playing them. Rei likes him, but he doesn't feel the same way...yet, maybe. All he's doing is being her friend and taking her to the dance, to tell the truth. You've seen him the pool, and how he was when Marluxia came in, and stuff. It seemed he had Larxene on his mind for awhile....there's hopefully still a chance for Rei, depending on how far his feelings for Larxene goes...now that she's in the way. And I don't think he's the player, Larxene is with Marluxia after all...I think, Axel isn't committed to anyone. I don't know about that Prep relationship. Makes me wonder if they broke up..." She sighed, and searched around. "This is going to be a interesting evening, don't you think?" Riku grinned back, eyeing what she was wearing very slowly, as if taken it all in, it deifnitely flowed with her curves. Either he was lucky...or just more lucky, there's no more words to describe it. Trying not to appear like he was looking too much to be polite, he coughed, and held out a hand for her. "You don't have a bad sense yourself. You look beautiful, Sharix. And sexy, may I add."
"Thank you!" Tifa said, giving him a tight, quick hug at him trying to make some type of peace. Now there might be no tension that would break her inner circle of friends, and Axel could be understanding...if you convinced him. Maybe he was just angry because of what he had had to go through, and it passed. Breaking away, she added, "I think he'll understand, he just got really pissed at you for what you did and all, I'm guessing. I wonder where he is and Rei..." Riku eyed his dressed up self in the mirror, a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with the cuffs a bit out, but neat, and a normal white shirt under, with a little tint of grey. He was wearing dark blue jeans, and white High Top Nikey sneakers, because he honestly wanted to keep it simple. Hopefully, Sharix would like it. And....he wondered how she would look like. A smile grazing his face at the thought, he headed to the door, going out, and closing it with his key that he had placed in his pouch before. Making sure it was locked well, he put it back in his pocket, and went down a hall, going to Sharix's room, which wasn't that far from his. Turning a corner, he walked more quickly, wanting to see her, and when he noted her room number, he knocked lightly. "Sharix?"
OOC: Well, I don't think Axel would fight \ in his new threads xD. Even though I didn't state the shirts like the pants or shoes, they're brand names. I'll play Riku again, picking you up if you need xP. Tifa chuckled, looking at Cloud interestingly, as she adviced, "You don't need luck. The girls do most of the grinding anyway, you just have to move with me and flow, understand? It will be easy once you get it." She gave him a smile, as they reached the table she was going for, and pulled up a chair. Sitting down, she motioned Cloud to do the same kindly, as they waited for more people to come, the music to start, and Axel and Rei. "Though sometimes, when the music or song places a chance, which usually happens, some males breakdance. Axel knows how to, he did it once just to show-off, that idiot....maybe if you guys are friends again, he could teach you or give you pointers....if you're interested in learning, that is." Tifa couldn't help the hopeful tone in her voice, because she wanted for them to at least stand each other, or get along.
"Play? Sure, but I don't think he's that much of a threat. He seems to be a wannabe spy, hence, how he fell over when grabbing a burned branch," Axel replied, his swiming trunks now dryin due to the wind picking up. His unbuttoned black shirt was beginning irritating, though the breeze felt too good to get away from, and he was thinking of going back to the beach and bathe in it again. "I'm hungry..."
Vexen heard her words, and from the words "boy", he knew it was Roxas. There was nobody else here, and so, not hearing anything else, he stoopd up, knowing that the Key Of Destiny would not part from his eye on Axel to speak. It better be good, however, of he'll kick him out forcefully. Walking over to the door, he opened it, looking at Xangel, alert for some reason, but he didn't care anymore by now. He was used to people coming in and out, now of all times. Whatever it was, she could handle it, to prove herself. He walked towards Roxas who was far-off, and stopped as he eyed the blond boy in a bad mood. "What is it now?" Brushing off the annoyed tone that he gave, Roxas gazed up at him, serious, yet demanding, as in, he won't take no for a answer. He wanted to know what in the worlds has been happening here, especially with Axel, and Vexen seem to know a lot. "I need you to explain what's been going. With Larxene and Axel, Saïx, and just...everything. I want to understand, and see where Larxene's mind lies...." Vexen eyed the boy grimly, his lip set in a thin-line as he crossed his arms. He could easily very well lie, but if Axel manages to live, he'll ask the pyro for confirmation, and if Roxas found out he was fibbing, he'll come after him. That won't do. It wouldn't exactly hurt to explain Axel and Larxene's relationship, as well as this Max dude, he might help, and the deal with Saïx was simple. He'll just keep out what Zexion wants to do. Sighing, he gave a nod, and gestured for Roxas to sit in the chair he placed to him before. He went to grab his own, and dragged it next to the kid's, making himself comfortable as he sat down. "Be prepared for a long story...."
OOC: Darn, okay then. At least were getting to the dance already xD. Axel blinked at her choice of greeting, or rather the tone, but ignoring it he gave a small smile, eyeing her up and down without shame that she will notice, he wasn't the shy type. He was actually really impressed, studying her legs, to her thighs, and waist, and up, not only did she look enhancingly pretty this night, but her dress fit just right with his choice of clothing. Sexy, gorgeous, yet comfortable, and he was surprisingly satisfied, he didn't expect her to be this nice. Finally, setting his eyes to her face in a smirk, he said, "Bonsoir, Mademoiselle. You look amazing, I shall say." He sent a amusing wink at her, before holding out his arm for her, silently asking her if they should go. "Oh, don't worry," Tifa nonchalantly waved off at Cloud's comment, making them walk a little far to a empty table at the corner, a small smirk on her face at the thought. She kind of predicted that he didn't know how to dance anything else in particular, so she decided that he will learn by experience. "You'll see new ways of dancing today, after all, slow dances aren't always on."
