Axel stopped a yawn from coming, and lifted himself off the couch lazily, making his way back to a sleeping Demyx. He held out his hand, and smack Demyx lightly in the head, trying to wake him up. "Demyx, yo. You're not sleeping over..." He watched as he didn't stir. Axel didn't exactly want to hurt him.
OOC: I'm going out after this, so I won't be on until way later. "Yeah, that'sa good idea," Axel nodded, sending her a thankful smile. And is not like he was not going to afford if he needed to take drastic actions. He never knew people had so many relationship problems, but it brought in a huge amount of munny. He joked, "Remind me to give you a raise..."
"Really?" Axel perked up, really sitting up this time on the sofa, looking at her with deep hopeful green eyes. "You'll do that? Then what do I do with Demyx if he wakes up? Do I still go with the plan or..."
Axel saw her hesitating and thoughful look at the vial, and the purge in his stomach swirled again, his eyes widening before he whined, "Oh my God, you're going to kill me..." He wished he had the energy and power to escape, or move away, anything, but he didn't. And now he was stuck here, unmoving, helpless, while the amateur doctor here operated on him. "You're probably going to poison me accidentally too. Doesn't it has a inscription to tell you which one is which?"
"Roxas? Stronger than he appears?" Axel questioned, tilting his head towards him. He suddenly saw images of him fighting Roxas in their training and sparring sessions in his head. "Obviously, you haven't been on the end of his keyblades, sorry to say, Sir. He doesn't 'seem', he is. But that's not the point. She does remind me of Roxas, and she's strong, just wasn't strong enough, I guess. At least, she knows what to do with her powers, and uses it effectively." He gracefully moved towards the bed were Xinaram was laid, passing Larxene, and sat down at the edge. Axel reluctantly after a while, placed a hand on the side of her face, tapping it a little, as if that would open her eyes. "We need to heal her first, I'd think. She's hurt pretty badly."
Axel did looked shocked at her for a moment, almost sitting up, but hearing her reason decided to forget it and cooled. He sighed. "Well, I'm thinking of telling Demyx the price went up, so if he doesn't have the money he might want to forget about it. I don't want to help him get Larxene, Angel. I've been working up the guts to tell her, only for this to happen. But he's my friend...and..."
"No..." Axel gloomily replied from his spot on the couch, running a hand through his face in frustration. He was still thinking on whether throwing Demyx off. "You wouldn't believe the girl that Demyx wants to woo."
Axel couldn't say anything coky, sarcastic, or anything disrespectful and insulting like he usually did when he saw Larxene, only because the Superior was right there next to him. This cut off the fun a bit, but this was business. And he took it seriously. He walked over to the blonde haired female, feeling Xemnas following him behind, checking Xinaram out on the bed for a while, before speaking to the older girl in the room, sounding casual. "Bug-, I mean, Larxene, the Superior's here to see Xinaram. Has she moved or spoken at all?"
"Not afraid of the needle. More like afraid of your inexperience. I might get punctured and really die because of you," Axel sarcastically retorted, coming back to his normal self as he smirked confidently. "I'm not scared of no needle. I mean, do you even know that you have to clean the wound a little before stitching it in case of infection? Oh, and you better look up the difference between the anesthesia, cause I'm not about to endure what could take minutes of pure uncomfortable pain." He wondered if she knew what she had to do to get close to his wound. Axel wasn't about to tell her, unless she could do it with his cloak on. His eyes traveled to his wound automatically, but found it closed by a piece of Larxene's black cloak.
"I'm guessing you have to tell the others now that we've found another way?" Axel guessed, a small smile playing on his face. He couldn't believe everything was going right, and it was all because of him. Man, did he feel amazing. Like he saved the world or something. However, his short moment of overconfidence was cut as he thought over the bloody body that was Xinaram, and that it was his fault that she's in the state she's in. At least, he could be positive that she'll be alright. Though he'll never admit it out loud, the girl was quite the fighter. And quite strong. So, she had to have a strong-will as well. He looked at Xemnas again, "I'm going to pay a visit to Larxene, Sir, so if you want to you can see the Xinaram girl yourself." OOC: I've been noticing I've been using CoM Axel as a base in this RP, more than the KH2 one. It's till there, but cause of his manipulation and sharpness....
Axel nodded thoughtfully, before eyeing him questionably. Xemnas still hadn't told him what went on in that meeting. "So, what was this whole plan of yours that I-or rather, Larxene and I, missed, Sir?
"U-uh..." Axel stuttered, looking at the needle cautiously, like it was Bobby's scissors. He felt something swell in his stomach that he couldn't describe, and it wasn't nausea, but close to it. "Do you even know how to sew? I mean, isn't there another way? And aren't you suppose to put like...anesthesia?" He knew anesthesia can only be found in medical facilities, but he was somehow hoping there was some in that First Aid kit. And not only that, but since his cloak was in the way of her work, and though he always wore some black tank top under, she would still have to... Well, this just got interesting.
"That's a good idea, Superior," Axel commended, quite startled at the thought. It really was. But then there was a setback. "But how will Zexion know how to act like her? If her group of friends know there is one wrong thing off about her, they'll get suspicious, take a guess, and will come to the conclusion from there."
"Well first, you obviously got to start in my stomach, since I still feel my blood seeping out. I don't think it hit any vital organs when it went all the way through the other side, so it's good," Axel explained easily, as it seemed that water was all he yearned to quench and bring back his normal speech. Though now his tone sounded low, and lighter, than deep. But as long as he could speak... He eyed Larxene with the kit warily, he had never seen her use anything like that. "Uh...Larx, do you even know how to use that? I don't want unwanted needles and pokes, and my current state to go worse...I'm surprised I'm even still here."
Thinking this was going to take a while, he moved his shoulder in a circular motion, as it was cramped, and once he heard the satisfying little crack, he began. "First, off. No offense, Sir, but, um, you weren't a very good actor back there, and I didn't think that Xinaram would have fallen it for it that easily. I had some type of caution, that the girl was going to spy again. But we couldn't let it hear it this time, as this was the real plan, and it will go awry if she listened. So I decided to take care of it, or investigate, and went around the Throne Room where the meeting is. She was there, and I found my prove that I was right. She uses the Corridor Of Darkness, but doesn't go all the way in, just enough for her to hear us. I fought her, and I claimed victory, but my domination took the best of me, and I slashed and hit her too harshly, nonstop. She's injured and is unconscious right this moment. She's in Larxene's room resting, who saw the battle. I thought since Xinaram is second-in-command, after she gets better, we can snip some answers from her, as she would be in our hands now. I don't know how long will the rest take to notice her MIA, and they might come to take her back, but this is a perfect way to get what we need. And, of course, if she refuses, there is always Vexen's truth serum. Hard to make, but is a special occasion."
Axel nodded, and did as told. He felt Larxene gently give him delicate and careful sips, in case he choked, and Axel fell in love, as his parched and chalk throat became smooth, and moisturized, and normal. Tap water never tasted so good. While Larxene was still helping, he was making himself swallow and drink, not stopping until the last drop was devoured. He sighed peacefully, taking in the soaking goodness, and gazed at the woman before him. Axel observed all the things Larxene had done for him so far, even when he wasn't halfway to his death, she had massage his shoulders to make him feel better from his pain. He owed her alot. His life, really. "Thank you...for everything." Axel inwardly grin as he heard his own voice after such a long time. It was...a nice feeling. Now, he can talk without forcing it too much.
Axel went to the best place where you will ever find Xemnas. Tha Altar Of Naught. This is what made Axel question his Superior's sanity. Not only does he like long-range speeches, he talks to Kingdom Hearts like it was some type of God, a human, something to pray to, treating it like it was just another mighty being of a person, and like it just wasn't a heart shaped-moon that just stood there in the nigth sky doing nothing but putting up with the leader's rambling all the time, probably not even listening. Not that it can listen. But poor thing. It was weird, it was creepy, and it was Xemnas. Point made. "Superior?" Axel inquested, to note him of his appearance, and since he wasn't second-in-command now, not that he ever was, he used his title. "I'm here for your questioning." No, duh, Axel. Of course you're not, Axel admonished to himself, thinking of how stupid that sounded.
Axel found himself perched on a chair by the Savage Nymph, tha fact that his eyes were open, and he saw around the kit. They had gotten away for awhile, which was good. If Larxene fixed his wounds, and he gets the rest he needed, he might get back into action soon as the blood he lost gets back into order. His pose in the chair was sluggish, as he didn't have enough energy to sit straight. Since they were in the kitchen, and his throat felt like ashes, stinging and dry, he murmured, struggling himself again, "...w-water..." Axel figured it will help him talk better, and probably even have a tone this time.
"...yeah, I'm a good friend," Axel trailed off, not in the least well after the visit. Well, not after, really. Demyx just went all all sleep on him. Getting up from his chair, he walked to the couch, and laid down on it, in thought. "Can't believe this..." He did mean what he said, that he will help. Just not try as hard, if you get his drift. He'll give him a try or two, but after...he had to think of something. His usual fee was 300 munny, but maybe if Demyx found the price too high, he'll give in, and Axel didn't have to do anything after all.
OOC: Lol xP. "Annoyingly sexy coming from me, right?" Axel countered egotistically, giving her a sensual smile. He walked the remaining feet left to separate them, and gave her the young girl to carry. He didn't leave however, and carefully got closer to her face, breaking her personal space, and having his lips hover closely to hers, their breath intermingling together. He chuckled cockily, before giving her a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. "Careful, Buggy. This rat is their second-in-command, thus, she knows more than the rest." What? She flirted and touched him on almost every single occasion, though not that he could blame her, of course, and without his consent all the while. So, he was simply returning the favor for once. It was sometimes dull staying passive all the time to her quirks. And he wanted to piss her off a little. It was always so simple, anything could set her off. And it was entertaining. To him, anyway. Turning around to look at her once more, he gave one last voice of warning. "If she does wake up, don't break her. I guess I'll tell you what the Superior's plans are after I'm done. Later, snob." And he took his leave, disappearing in the darkness. OOC: Took some jips from Re: CoM. Sense of familiarity.
