"You seem to have a scarred past." Ai reasoned. "Why do we even have to fight? I don't see why we can't just live with each other. It's pointless...."
Garxena stayed still. She looked at Riku and Silax, silently pleading for them not to make any sudden moves. Riku grit his teeth. "Get your hands off her."
Riku's Keyblade appeared. "Whatever this guy did, he's not getting away with it." Garxena quivered. "I'll go first." she said, steadily. She went through the portal. Riku exchanged a look with Silax and went after Garxena, Keyblade ready.
Garxena bit her lip. "Takeshi.... he said...." she lowered her eyes. "he said to come see him." "Was that all? Did he say to come alone?" Riku asked. Garxena stood up. "I guess I could bring a friend or two." She held Riku's hand. Thoughts about what happened before came through her mind. "Then again..... I don't really want to see him again." she touched her cheek where Takeshi had kissed her. She could feel the weight of him pressing her to the wall. Riku squeezed her hand. "We're here if you want to go. I'd like to set this guy straight. If he's done anything to hurt you... well, I don't want to get too hasty. Do you want to go?"
"I'm so glad you're okay." Garxena gave Silax a gentle hug. "I thought-" Garxena heard Takeshi's voice. How's he doing that? I thought only Yeifou, Silax, and Xalan could do 'mind speech' or whatever you call it. "Garxena?" Riku put a hand on her shoulder. "You gotta let me know: is something wrong?" "No." Garxena lied. Leave Silax and Riku to see him? The way he said it made it sound like I should........ but, he's so.... I hate him.
Riku rubbed his stomach, got back up, and went hurriedly back to Garxena and Silax. He helped Garxena up. Garxena looked at Silax. That guy's power.... it practically resonated around him. She got on her knees. "Silax....... Silax, wake up...." she lightly shook his shoulder. "Please, Silax...." Riku understood how she was feeling. "He's okay, Garxena. He'll wake up soon."
Garxena knelt beside Silax, trying to ignore Takeshi's voice in her head. "Silax?" Garxena's voice filled with worry. Riku glared at the hooded figure. "What did you do to him?"
Riku looked over and saw Silax, Mika, and a hooded figure. "Come on, Garxena." Garxena and Riku went over to them. Garxena gripped Riku's hand. No more.... not any more Darkness.... Riku called his Keyblade. "Something up?" he asked Silax.
Garxena portaled to her room. She fell against Riku. Riku put his arms around her. "Garxena, what happened?" Garxena shook her head. Riku took her outside. "Maybe some fresh air will help. You sure you don't want to tell me?" Garxena nodded, still holding on to him.
Garxena fell out of the portal and on to the roof of Memory's Skyscraper. "What did he do....?" she thought aloud. She rose to her feet. "I feel sick...."
My name again.... Garxena held her stomach and winced. She slowly went over to Takeshi. "If you want a kiss, I'd rather die."
Garxena put her hand on Takeshi's back and made her voice sweet. "I want you..." she summoned her Oblivionblade and it went through Takeshi. "to leave me alone." her voice changed to anger. the top of the Oblivionblade pierced her stomach, but she pulled away from it and Takeshi. "Yeah, you're not bad. You're awful."
My name.... Garxena stopped moving. The way he says my name... She opened her eyes and looked at him.
Garxena shut her eyes, her breathing was fast. I can't move... his strength is too much for me... She tried to turn her head away from him.
Riku looked Takeshi up and down. There's something about this guy.... Garxena opened her eyes and sat up on her bed. When she saw Takeshi, fear filled her. "Riku.... what's he doing here?"
Hiro plopped on Garxena's bed. "Me wanna play.'' Riku picked him up. "Later, okay?" Hiro sighed and flew to the window. "Perty..." he said looking at the sky. Riku looked at Garxena. What happened? Kai looked rather upset when you came back. And where did Silax get off to?
"Kiru?!" Kai helped Garxena to a couch and went to Kiru. "I can't believe it! When did you get here?" she gave him a hug, looking a Riku over Kiru's should. She tried to motion to go see Garxena. Riku nodded and went over to Garxena. "You okay?" He sat next to her, putting an arm around her shoulders. Garxena rested her head against him. "Kyo.... I couldn't save him.... how could he entrust me with his keyblade? I'm no good at fighting..... How could I be his reason?" tears came to her eyes. "I never loved him like I did Xeal. But he was always there for me. He never gave up on me.... I've let him down already..." Riku gently whipped away the tears. "Not yet. You're still here, Garxena. Until you die, you haven't let him down." He picked her up, took her to her room, and laid her on her bed. "I'll stay here." "Hiro go follow Riku. Come get me if you need me." Kai smiled as Hiro bobbed away.
Garxena watched Silax go. Silax... I'm sorry. she stepped back from Kai. "Where's Riku?" "Back at the lobby with Hiro, my Moogle." Kai responded. Garxena opened a portal. "Let's go." she and Kai went through. OOC: g2g. see you tomorrow.
Kai noticed Garxena shaking. She sheathed her Doublesword. "If it was possible, I hate Takeshi more." she put her arm around Garxena. "Kai, what just happened?" Garxena couldn't stop shaking. "Takeshi used you. Don't get near him again." Kai held Garxena in a motherly way. "You're okay now."
Garxena flexed her wrist. Got it! She went to Kai's side. Kai hugged Garxena. "I'm glad you're okay."
