Axel smiled in relief as Larxene went forward to escape, though they weren't safe until they could get away, or find the others in the library. The nagging swell of death and nausea was innerly affecting him, and the running and turns made him sick. Sick of everything. All for a stupid vacation. He hoped there was some kind of cure waiting for him, as he proclaimed himself a lucky fool to actually still have some life in him. But it was gradually fading, and he knew perfectly well that if he doesn't find some type of healer soon for his wounds, especially in the stomach, he was a goner. For real this time. He saw wearily as they passed down the tunnel, and whispering slightly, he said to her, "...persistent...hard-head...I..love...it..." Ah. He could still joke around, can't he? ScissorMan recovered, the water hurting him momentarily, and watched as the blood he needed slipped away. He followed quickly. "...blood, need her blood...and those eyes...those green eyes."
OOC: I don't think I even remember my n00b days o_O. "Whatever you say," Axel airily waved off, stopping himself from rolling his eyes. He glanced down at the girl, before he gave Larxene a presumptuous gaze, the cat-like grin still on full force. "I actually like 'Ax'. But since you don't seem to like Lar-Lar, which is such a shame, I guess I should congratulate you. Now, you will be known as, Buggy. Is that better?" Ignoring the snarl of irritation, and before she could retort something back, he continued speaking. "I still don't trust her, she might wake up and listen in our talking with our leader. We have to let her stay in a room while we, go up to Xemna's quarters. Is either you take her to your room for the night, Buggy, or...," he left the sentence hang purposely, wiggling his eyebrows slyly at the Nymph. "...she stays in mine."
Axel wanted to smack the crap out of Larxene right now. Was she crazy? He should've known better. That woman was impossbile to convince anything through. Why was she so hell bent on not leaving him? With him this way, he would be a heavy load to her. And now she was offering some type of exchange? He knew Larxene never did hairbrained schemes like this, so she must have a idea. But did she know just how strong ScissorMan is? Will whatever she had in her head work? He didn't want her to get hurt, or disappear, or get killed, or maimed. Axel quickly snapped out of his thoughts, and tensed as the familiar evil tone of the said murderer and demon filled his ear. He...just wished both of them could escape this. He was so worthless now, and he hated it. Bobby glared at the impudence of the girl, his red glowing eyes flaring. He tildted his head, making his neck snap loudly. "I need the witch. But I need your blood. I am going to get your blood..." He charged.
OOC: I don't know about the re-summoned thing. I was on a roll, and rarely checked for grammar. For that pulse thing, I didn't think well of it when writing, so let's just pretend it was some kind of typical human reaction, from when he had a heart. It was only to check her breathing, not her pulse, thoughm, I think. And yeah, no n00bs xP. This is a good RP though. Axel provided a glare to Larxene, though her behavior was expected, so he shrugged it off. Once you get used to the Apathetic Princess, it was as normal as the plainest weather. "Even though she is our enemy, she's still young, Larxene. She looks Roxas' age. And though she did spy, checked our castle, she didn't do nothing so wrong to get this type of punishment. The whole thing was to make a distraction. I made sure when I came here I would win, and if it was a death battle, that I will be the one still breathing. But I didn't like the way I lost control. I guess all the negative thinking that I held for her took me in that moment. And is not like she initiated the fights, I did." He stared at Larxene, his green eyes softening, but mocking, a smirk filling his face. "Nothing to be jealous of, Lar-Lar. You're still my favorite girl. I feel some type of regret, of a memory, I guess, but I still have great dislike for this mouse. I'm going to keep her here, where she could recuperate, and then we might get some answers from her once she's back in focus. Maybe we should report to Xemnas now, as you were also missing, it seems. Glad you enjoyed the battle. I was awesome, wasn't I?" Here, Axel's smirk turned into a grin. "Got it memorized?"
Axel, with a sudden spur of fear, actually gripped Larxene tight, moved his hands, when he heard the demonic chuckle. He didn't even know where he was, where she took them, and now whether they'll make it out alive. Seeing as he needed the aid of his eyes, he enforced them to open, unconcerned about how they burned, and how blurry they were. He leisurely opened them, squinting and blinking a few times. Axel didn't manage to open them completely until seconds later, and blinked them a lot to take away the fog. Everything became clear, and his jade green eyes scattered tiredly. They were in some type of...room? With Larxene in the way, he could hardly see, but he did detect a piece that looked like Vexen's shield...and a...pentagram? "Oooh, the one with pretty eyes is awake. Master must have it." It wasn't ScissorMan, he heard his voice up close. This sounded like a small boy, but it still kept that same eerie intonation. His remaining blood went cold a this. He didn't even know how he was alive so far, but using the only strength he possesed now, he wrenched himself from Larxene, almost falling hard to the floor, but her arms was still around him as he caught her by surprise. Landing thankfuly soft on the ground, he looked up at her, distressed. Stop being stubborn. He tried again to talk. "Go...now...he's going to kill you...leave me...damn it..." The strain made him cough a bit, but it stop just as quickly. After he used that bit of energy to pull away, he found himself helpless again. The hard try made him almost slip back into unconsciousness. Leave...
Axel could see Larxene's body weakening under him, it was obvious by her slow steps, and her heavy ragged breathing. Even thoug his eyes were closed, he was so close to her body he could feel what she was feeling. Physically anyway. He wished he could do something. He wished he could move his body, and not be such a burden on her. He wished he could be the man and help her. Why couldn't she just leave him? It was better that way. Axel didn't care about himself now, she was being hunted down, and he didn't want to be the cause and reason for her death. Making himself speak, though it made him feel a nauseous vile in hsi stomach, but he still tried. He gulped, trying to relieve his chalk like throat, and this time he managed to complete it into a whisper. "Leave...me...burden...to...you..do it..."
OOC: *comes back from resting her head* Thanks! :) Thinking this over gave me a headache. For real. I'm glad I did good. Axel resummoned his chakrams, and they disappeared in a swirl of darkness and flames. For some reason, he somehow felt like the enemy in the end of all this. He didn't really think he was hitting that hard, he just sometimes gets lost when fighting. He looked away, a shadowed feeling of regret taking over him. This was usually Larxene's way of doing things, though he knew he could get just as carried away as her. Well, he got what he wanted. The conclusion wasn't what he expected, however. Giving a sigh, his eyes turned over Xinaram's unconscious body, and hesitating, he slowly walked over to it. Bending down, he checked her pulse, and found out she was still breathing. And she wasn't fading away. Good. Taking her into his arms, not really knowing what to do from now, he carried her bridal style. The meeting must be over by now. Heh. Not that it matters anymore. He didn't have a Cure bottle with him, and this one need an infirmary fast.
"Yeah, of course I will," Axel forced, not wanting his unsureness to get into his tone. He nervously twirled his pen around, and bit his lip. "In fact, I'll talk to her myself. I know her well, but I also need to know what kind of things she likes, for guys to do, I mean. She never tells anyone. You, everyone knows what you like, Demyx. It might work."
"Wait, don't say that..." Axel quickly said, starting to feel guilty at what his words did. He was worried as well. How in the world could he handle this? It was his job, and Demyx was his friend, but....Larxene. He had such strong feelings for the woman, and to see her with another guy, practically killed him. Giving a exasperated sigh, he knew he was being selfish. And Demyx did nothing to deserver it. Axel gave him a reasurring smile, no matter how ripped he felt inside, as he explained himself. "No, for real. I'm flattered that you think everyone likes me, but...I-I don't think she does. I mean, I just said that, cause...you know how she is. Don't be down, I can help you. I really can."
OOC: Sorry ^_^; I've never done fight scenes before. You killed me on that. I didn't know there were so much words for fire until this. Stay clear, long read. Axel winced at the attacks, over and over again. His body was slowly growing in pain, but he wasn't about to be rid of that easily. He grunted at another blow, taking him from his thoughts, He let her put more attacks into him, while he build up his fire within. He felt it flowing to his fingers, down his arms, in his spine, in his face, everywhere, and he was enamouring a sense of heat, his body burning like an erupting volcano. And that's what happened. In a sudden explosion of fire, rapid flames shot up, directly impacting Xinaram's whole body as he joyfully saw, and sending the girl flying up at the force of the burns and pain that was out-of-control fire. The blaze didn't stop, and continued to grow still hitting Xinaram in mid-air as she tried to take control. Before she could though, gripping his chakrams tight, he swung his legs forward, and crouching down on the sea floor full of inferno, taking the momentum, he leaped unto the air towards her, looking like some type of human rocket, his weapons setting ablaze as he went for the attack. Axel didn't know what went wrong with him, but he found himself smashing her hard, slashing his pointy shards around his chakrams into her mercilessly, back and forth, up and down, feeling the hot searing metal, because of the fire around it, digging into her skin, and ripping up her cloak. To keep up, he used her body for support. He could barely hear her moans and groans of pains, as he hacked and injured, for seconds on end. Finally having enough, he slammed one chakram into her face, sending her straight down into the aflame fire. He came down fast, and his feet finally touched the ground. He stopped then, taking deep breaths and gasps, finding her unmoving, and he extinguished his flames from around. She did look messed up...but she was sure to get up, right? Axel looked guiltily at her body, but when he spoke, his voice was blank. "No, I'm not enjoying this..."
"No!" Axel retracked sheepishly, putting his hands up defensively when Demyx put on his sad eyes. His brain rattled with this news, that it couldn't be true. Demyx can't like Larxene, because he liked her too. A lot. Since such a long time. Only Roxas knew of his crush on the Savage Nymph, and as a good best friend, he kept it to himself. But now...he didn't know what to do. Please say no Demyx....please... He looked at the Nocturne, sternly, and hoping that what he thought was the answer was correct, though he had a feeling it was in vain. "Is it....I mean...do you really like Larxene?"
OOC: Know what? Freak this xP From the deeper corner of his mind, Axel felt his motion and sense of self come back slowly. He could tell the weight of his body, feeling it start on again, but he couldn't move. He was too weak and too thrashed to, or even try. As his brain started to function as he was in between the sides of subsocnsious and reality, he could fairly hear distant echoes. It was like dreaming, except it was with sounds. He could hear running heels, somene touching his face, hugging him, the rustle of their clothes telling him that, he could hear crashes, and jabs, and manic laughter...and...finally... "Axel...please wake up..." Larxene....?...there was no mistaken it, he knew her tone and voice, even from far away. Reaching it for it somehow, at least with his mind, it strengthened it, and sent the wheels of his brain chugging. The noises were getting nearer and clearer, and he now felt the movements of, who he guessed, was Larxene, slamming into something solid....and then running. He gently moved his fingers, testing it, so invisible that you couldn't barely see it, but it was there. As if coming out naturally, he opened his mouth, his air coming as a breath of a whisper. "Lar...xe...ne."
Axel blinked. Then he blinked again. Laughing at Demyx as if he said a bad joke, he slammed his notepad down, looking at him straight in the eye with a grin. "You're kidding, right? I mean, you actually like Larxene? Hah! Nice one, Dem. For real, who is it?"
OOC: Well, let's just say Larxene steps in, and Xinaram sends for Xangel's help or whatever, all talk for a little while, and then we move to our separate fights, concentrating simply on ours. The Corridor Of Darkness is big, after all. As for the fight scene, is coming, I just need time to wrack my brain for something. Is hard xP.
Axel sighed, seeing Roxas walk away. So much for a break. "So..." he began, sitting on his desk, again. He motioned Demyxtod the same, picking up his notepad, and beginning another page. "What do you need? Girl, I'm guessing?"
OOC: I'm guessing they go into the building, and climb up something like stairs, But they go to the roof *shrug*. It has to be that way if Hayner, Pence and Olette can do it. NOOOO!, Axel thought disppointedly to himself, but smiled at Demyx anyway. He sent a apologetic look at Roxas. "If you want, you can stay and listen in. I don't care." He then gave a nod to Demyx, scratching the back of his head. "Yo, Dem. What help brings you here?"
OOC: Lol. I can't do anything now. I'm in the dark world of Unconciousness. Unless I like, talk to myself with my mind or thoughts.
"Okay..." he jotted down, and closed the notepad as in finality. Axel gave hima confident smirk. "That will be all I need. I might visit Naminé if I have the chance, though I don't know. I'll probably sent you on a blind date, call you, and inform you of the info I could get from her. Just let me, take care of everything. " Placing his notebook on his desk, he grinned at him, "Since I'm off right now, want to chill outside?"
Axel felt himself lifted up, but the touch almost seemed so far away. If he his brain didn't feel somewhat dead, and his body lifeless, he would have been amazed at Larxene's strength. But maybe it was because he was hanging on a thin thread concerning death. He didn't know if he was going to be saved from it. There was too much blood loss, he knew that much, and simply closing the wound won't help. There weren't doctors anywhere, and they couldn't get out of this place. How will it ever heal? Or will it be closed up? There was no way out of it. He felt like he needed to say something, and forced himself to talk, "Larx...thank you...just..make..sure..y-you're not next....please..." His voice cracked and faded at the end, but it was said. Axel, accepting his fate, praying that at least Bobby didn't get his hands on his dead body, finally let the darkness take him. OOC: He didn't die. He just fainted. For some reaon, I feel depressed now...^_^;
OOC: Lol xP. "Loves to draw.." Axel wrote down, and seeing this was a smuch as he was going to get about her from him, he etched Roxas on. "I'm going to find and speak to her later, I know where she lives, so it can be solved. Now, what do you like?
