A Life to Lead ^_^

"...And when you get back, what are you going to do?" Reno asked her with a calm resolve.There was no use snapping at her for saying things she was supposed to. Maybe she wanted to take things slow ..or maybe she was putting it off. He wasn't certain about it. She was a strong woman ..and he'd be there.That was for damn sure.

"..You know I hate what your doing ..why you kill people ..can't you leave it all behind? Let me help you." he took her smooth, delicate hands in his and looked her in the eyes.He was genuine, and he wanted to get her out of that situation.Maybe he could get her a job in Shinra ..but what would Elena, Tseng and Rude think?

_

"...Yeah, it will ..I'll make sure of it." a smile weakly formed below the blue eyes of Roxas as he placed a hand on Xion's cheek, kissing her lips gently and moving to the other side of the bed."I've ..been working hard to get munny in Twilight Town ..if I keep using my battle skills on that balloon then I'll get a lot of attention ..more munny in it for us.But the question is ..what do we eat other than Sea Salt Ice Cream?" he joked, laying down beside her.

 

Xion smiled, closing her eyes, and snuggling into the pillow, feeling cold suddenly. "I do know how to cook, you know." she told him, trying to sound all knowing. "I just need the right ingredients. You shouldnt' have to work so hard, I should help..."

 

"You can help by getting some rest ..your doing enough every day, by carrying him."Roxas explained, raising a forefinger and bringing it running across her lips.But knowing how to cook was a surprise ..he'd be sure to thank Aerith when the time came, because he certainly had little cooking skills.But as long as it had directions and was easy to do, he could do it no problem.

 

She smiled at the sensation, opening her eyes. "Him?" she murmured, her eyes alight. "You think it'll be a boy, huh. I can do more...." she murmured, her eyes closing again. Why can't I do more?

 

"..Well if its a girl, I won't have any idea what to do ..if its a girl, its mainly up to you to teach her." Roxas could teach a boy easily enough, but he didn't know the first thing about teaching a little girl.He'd need to go by instinct then ..that was all he could muster.

 

She giggled quietly. "Maybe it'll be both." she murmured, almost not quite sure what she was saying. "I mean, like twins." she amended, replaying back on how that would sound. "I don't know, yet." she smiled. "Maybe that's a good thing."

 

"..Think you can handle two at a time?" Roxas questioned her worriedly, eyes showing pure concern for her well being.Alex and Aerix ..he wondered if they would inherit the keyblade's he and Xion possessed. Heck, it didn't matter.He hoped they were born healthy and happy.

 

She shrugged, then smiled. "We can deal with it, if and when it happens." she murmured, moving closer to him. "Don't worry about it, kay?" she murmured. "It might be only one."

 

To run away from the organisation? And what would that result in? How obscure. Larxene actually began to put thought into this plan that had errupted from Reno's mind.
Gradually, Larxene began to shake her head. She couldn't run away from her problems. It just wasn't right.
"I know your thoughts on killing innocents, Reno." She sighed, shaking her head more. "But you haven't met Xemnas. He strikes fear, even through me, of all nobodies. He is ruthless, but the only man willing to help us obtain our hearts, I guess. He is powerful, and he knows that. He uses that power if we step out of line at all. To be honest, I am surprised I have lasted this long away from the organisation at all." She looked up again, back into the eyes of that odd, red-haired man who was willing to take her away from this mess created.
"You must understand, Reno, that I am not a girl to run away from problems. The only reason I came here was to stop myself from attacking Demyx or Cloud. If I would have, then things would have gotten dangerous for you. For once, I thought of someone other than myself and made the painful decision to run. You have no idea what impact that made on my self-respect, and trust me, I'm not going to be running for much longer. I'll go back soon. Maybe a few days. Then things will be cleared up."
At the thought of Demyx, a small surge ran up The Nymph's spine. She felt a small impulse run through her hands, and into Reno's, causing mild static, and a minor jolt of electricity curse through both of their bodies.
....Woops.

 

"..It would be exciting having twins..but I think just one is good.We did this early." Roxas rested back on the bed and allowed his muscles to settle and begin to be comforted by the smooth bed sheets.After working all day, it felt good to finally relax.But did he have the right to? Could he be able to work more?

_

The jolt through his body caused Reno to jump slightly.He still hadn't gotten used to that ..just by touching him she could hurt him severely ..he wondered how that would work out.But, at least for once she thought of another. She was with him now ..and he was changing her for the better.At least that was how he'd see it from here on. Somehow, he wasn't dead yet.

"..I gotcha ..so this Xemnas guy ..he's good with weapons, right"

With them being alone again, Reno released her hands and slid around her until ending up directly behind her,He brought his slim muscled arms around her luscious figure and brought his chest to her back, getting closer than before.He honestly wanted to know if Xemnas could be beaten.

 

Oh my goodness. He was daring now, wasn't he? The human contact made was odd, and not expected by the Nymph at all. It made her feel strange. Like, warm, but also slightly aggressive.
Take the aggression away, and just make a move...

Turning to face the red-head, Larxene slid her arms around his waist. Her body was in contact with his completely, and to be honest, it felt good. Very, very good.
"You could say that.." She mumbled, drawing circles on his bare chest. Her mind really wasn't on Xemnas anymore, she really couldn't give a damn about the organisation at all.
The circles drawn in her mind on his chest travelled down to his stomach.
"In all clarity.. I don't care at the moment."

 

"Judging from the direction your fingers are traveling, I'd agree there." Reno joked.He was a little disappointed the position had changed since hugging a girl from behind was always something he preferred above all other.Still, it couldn't be helped ..and her touch was starting to tingle, pleasurable and humorous of course.

Odd that Cloud thought he knew everything, yet he never knew she could be so peaceful and relaxing ..and damn fine to boot.His eyes traveled to hers and he brought his arms to her waist, looking around to make sure they were completely alone.Surely enough, they were ..didn't wanna scar any kids if they saw such romance.

And he had to get back soon ..Rude and the others were probably worrying about him as if he couldn't take care of himself.But it was natural, they were partners and friends in their own way."Say, you hot out here?" he focused back to her and smiled as he asked the question.

 

Xion nodded, almost asleep. "But there's always a possibility." She giggled quietly. "Can you imagine triplets?" She shook her head, smiling, her eyes closed. "That would be a handful."

 

Screw the small talk. Larxene thought, pulling Reno against her with all the force she could apply without breaking his arms. Her lips met his with equal force, showing what was boiling inside her all along.

Daaamn. I love this guy.

(OOC: sorry it's short xD)

 

(OOC: Glad to know that you guys behaved while I was gone. I had a blast and will be at Comic Con in two weeks. This post should cover for my leave of absence. Note: I'm also making some of my posts more interesting with adding more about the dancers specially one that I decided to be a leader to them second to Demyx of course.)

Cloud Strife had an idea of who she meant. A girl and not a woman she was referrring to so it wasn't who he thought it was. Wanting to explore more of the topic, he turned his back to her and looked out at the sky watching the shadows drift in certain areas as the sun changed postition in the sky. "There is a lot you do not know and I don't know if you want to hear everything that has happened, but let me know when you do." He began to walk away, the sunlight reflecting from his dark clothes. He stopped hitting his button sequence on his comlink to see if he got any calls. Leon was still out and he became concerned hoping he wasn't in a coma. It was time to set his pritories straight and that was to find the location of his friend. Upon recollection of his memories, he remembered that Demyx had watched over Leon and then passed him off to one of his subordinate slaves. Cloud knowing it was a dancer, headed back into the house and surveyed the area, the room being complely dark as his other friend sat on the couch without saying a single word only to lift his head up slightly from the presence of Cloud. "Where is Leon?" He asked his fingers gripping his sword that he always carried to protect himself.

He had heard everything that Xion and Roxas talked about. He didn't understand why Roxas had avoided her to begin with, but he was glad that they were both alone and getting along again. Demyx had done his best to keep Xion comfortable until Roxas had returned and also kept himself busy reading another chapter of expected mothers and what to expect in order to educate himself further. Not did he enjoy any of it, in fact most of it was way over his head and made him lose interest, but the more he knew the greater help he could be for Xion if she needed him if Roxas was not available. Not only reading the book, he had even composed a song that he had been working on, a sweet lullaby for when the baby came into the world. He would let Xion hear it before he performed to make sure she approved first and Roxas could hear to if he wanted. Currently, it was like he was invisiable to the young keyblade wielder since they both were not talking to one of another. Demyx waited for Roxas to approach him and not the other way around. Surely it would happen one day, but until then he would avoid any kind of confrontation the best he could. In the back of his mind, he had Axel on his brain wondering where he was, what he thought about all of this, and what else he was up to? Another part of his thought process he couldn't help but think of Larxene for a bit and everything that had happened between them. This made him cringe as he erased her out of his mind for the moment for she was someone to bring forth negative feelings. Xemnas also came into view, the forbroading ominous leader etched in his memories forever of the one who could very well end his extistance in a matter of seconds if he chose to. What would he think of all that had happend? Did he even know that Xion was pregant, Roxas was out of the organization, and no other hearts had been gotten due to so much drama from everyone? And what what this other guy known as Reno? Would he some how play into the picture and did Xemnas know about him? Shaking his head, the images of the Superior crept back into the deep spaces in the back of his subconscience. Demyx wanted to remain in a peaceful state and so he thought of any others that made him feel wanted.

The person he thought of next had come into the place causing him to look up and remain still until he felt the presence and the tenseness in Cloud's aura that was vibrating with sheer confusment, a tinge of anger, and overall frusteration. This was visable in the warrior's tone and through his eyes. Standing up and not wanting to appear like a lazy sloth, he placed his arms out in front gesturing for Cloud to calm down. "Relax Cloud. My dancer took him to that that room over there and he has been guarded this whole time." He pointed to the room next to Xion's. "He is still sleeping and you can go in if you like." He snapped his fingers allowing the dancer to appear before him. "Good work. Go with the others," he said to it. The dancer knew what the leige meant as it obeyed. Turning his attention back to Cloud, Demyx walked to the other side of the room and opened up the curtains to shed some light in the dark room. "You can go in now. Take all the time you need."

Cloud observed the nobody's actions and he knew his friend was trying to help and not be hostile. Nodding his head, he walked to the direction Demyx had pointed to and opened the door slightly taking his time to enter the room. Walking over to his friend who lay peacefully, Cloud knelt over him and touched the man's shoulder. "Leon if you can hear me. Wake up." He then shook him gentely.

At the same time, after it had been dismissed the dancer joined the others and they began to have a conversation with the other lower nobodies such as dusks and even the assassins. One of the dancers that knew everything that had been spoken from the leige's mouth was typically one that was in charge. It appeared more like a female rather then a male due to the coloration and the shape of the figure. So "she formely known as raging waters " had the opportunity to boss around the other dancers was was like the one that was in charge second to Demyx of course. She knew very well of her master's plans, but the overall master or the "top boss" needed to know much information as well. She didn't know if her leige Demyx purposely was not relaying information like he should of or was just mixed up and not thinking clearly. Regardless, she appeared before Xemnas and showed her respect hoping he would listen to what she had to say.

 

Acknowledging the lesser, Xemnas turned his back on his most cherished moon. Sillouetted in rays, he seemed to tower over the dancer. Such actions were common with the leader of the organization. Every action he took had a sense of purpose and strength. It was why he was able to, at the very least, shape his motely crew of lunatics into a semi functioning entity.

"What do you have to report?" said the superior as his amber eyes boared into the messenger.
"Is the strike team with number XV and Larxene in position?"

 

Ragingwaters swayed her body back and forth, listening to the ultimate leader of the organization. Of course she listened to her leige Demyx, but Xemnas took predicense over him just by rank. With her telepathic language that only nobodies understood, she recited everything that had happened. "I'am only telling you what I know as Iam only but a messanger. What you speak of about striking I do not know of as through the eyes of my leige the melodious nocturne and being at his side, I had watched him speak to Larxene and she had gone off with another red haired human known as Reno. My master seems to not know where her alligance lies, as he is extremely upset with her, but I remember him saying that this human Reno has a strong heart. I do not know what he has planned or meant by that. I have not asked him. Before that my superior, my master Demyx discovered that one that known as Roxas has left us, the other 14th member could be expecting soon and the one known as Leon, I had been taking care of under order by my lord Demyx. I do not understand why he had me take care of the human, but it has something to do with Cloud. My Lord is currently in Hollow Bastion inside the house asLarxene I do not know nor wish to know unless it concerns the organization's needs."

Cloud stood up straight and sighed unsure of what he was doing was going to help. Thinking quickly, he walked out of the room and thought that maybe Aerith could help him. She was bright and caring and knew a lot of methods he didn't know so he would search for her. Before leaving to find her, he walked in the bathroom and placed a cold washcloth on Leon's forehead to keep him cool. Closing the door, he walked back into the entry way and into the living room.

Demyx's eyes tracked Cloud's movements as he watched him pace around the room. He could tell he was worried and wasn't handling the situation well as he had hoped. "I'm sure Leon will wake up soon. So what are you going to do now?" He asked sitting back on the couch.

Cloud glanced at his friend and then looked out the window. "I need to find Aerith. Perhaps she can help Leon before she departs from this world." He walked out the door in search for her.

"Okay," Demyx called and sighed feeling bored once more. The house was lonely since there was no one to talk to. Axel was somewhere and the melodious nocturne just leaned his hand on his chin and sighed wondering what to do next. Yawning he summoned another one of his dancers since his chosen dancer was elsewhere. "Go locate Axel and the other organization members except for the boss and Saix. I need to know what is going on. Don't ask just do as I say." He gave the command and looked at the clock on the wall after the dancers had departed once more. "So much for my interview." He had missed his chance since three days had passed all because he was concerned with Xion. "Maybe there is still time." He walked out of the room and headed to the same place he sought employment for. Walking into the place, he spoke to a secretary and discovered that the lady had mysteriously had an unfornatunate incident that led to her death caused by heartless and people in black cloaks two consisting of one with fire and the other with lightning days ago. "I'm sorry that happened, but who else is in charge? I would like to still have an appointment?" He asked the receptionist who typed away on her computer. After wating twenty minutes, he got the news he was looking for. There was still a time slot available and he would not blow this chance. "Thank you so much," he bowed his head feeling satisfied that he could still audition. Leaving the agency, he was free for two hours until his appointed time and made his way to the water foundation. There he sat looking at the coy fish swim around in a circle.

 

The superior Did not give the information a second thought. Larxene was most likely worthless. Her personality, if it could even be called that, was angry and erratic. She was basically Roxas. Just like him, she would be cut loose and not be part of the resurrection. She was going to act like she had a heart, then she wouldn't mind not having one.

"Tell your master to prepar for another harvest. Find number XV. Do NOT let him wander and do what he usually does. There will be consequences otherwise. He will be filled in on the details at that time."

Walking through rotting alleys of Hollow bastion, Gexlion searched for his target. It looks like Larxene didn't need a heart. She seemed to care about that Red haired boy. Strange, she seems just like him. The same explosive temper, same anger, rage, everything. Shame, it looks like she was wrong after all. There was someone else that understood her better then he did. There was a silver lining in this cloud. Now he no longer needed to keep up that tiresom facade of eccentricy.

The masochist broke off from his internal monolouge when a dancer appeared infront of him.

"What is it?" he said in a robotic monotone.
"Who sent you?"

 

The dancer pranced around him along with some others that were sizing him up making sure he was loyal to the organization. "My leige sent us. He wants to know of your where abouts for an unknown reason I do not know. We only do as we are told."

Ragingwaters stretched her neck comprehending what Xemnas was requesting. "Indeed I will, but to be certain when you say do you mean number XV or my master?" She wanted to make there were no errors in her judgement.

Sticking his glove into the water, he circled his finger in the water creating a tiny whirlpool for the fish to swim through. Glancing at a clock in the distance he kept an eye on the time so he wouldn't be late. If all went accordindly, he would find himself able to pay the rest of Cloud and Leon's fees for capturing hearts and also would also help support Xion and Roxas with their their unborn child. After all since Xion wanted him to be involved, Demyx felt it was best to help contribute to make their lives easier finacially.

No such luck had made Cloud wander in circles looking for Aerith and he was beginning to think the worst. What if something had happened to her already. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself. Breaking out in a run, he searched high and low for her.

 

I intended your master. However, it would be best if you monitored number XV closely aswell. Make sure nothing stupid comes of him.

"You can trust me. From what I've seen, I am the only one that actually is loyal to the organization. Is there anything else to report?"
