~ Organization XIII In WalMart ~

Sephiroth went and locked the front doors. Locking the line of customers out. He placed a sign which read...

"Database Error, call this number to contact Sephiroth 1-800-555-1Wngd ext. Angel, we will be back online shortly."

He then walked over towards the cash registers and handed a "Great Job" pin to each Kairi and Riku. "This is for your efforts, now keep working!" any thought of Sephiroth being a nice guy was quickly extinquished...

 

Axel would snap her neck if she was anyone else,he didnt like being accused of anything,especially if he had no actual involvement in it.But he was glad that she had stopped to listen to what he had to say,he even chuckled at her story."You've answered most of this for me..''He stood up and looked down slightly to stare into her eyes,showing much seriousness."I didnt even know about a lamp in the first place,all I know is that Marluxia had one...and when you think I just wanted some a**,think again.''he said sternly."And as everyone knows,you get three wishes from the lamp,and if I 'supposedly' used one to make you love me,what happened to the other two wishes?...im not dumb enough to let Marluxia take something so precious from me,for petes sake I had two wishes left!"he exclaimed in an amused tone,what other fool would let two wishes slip through his fingers just for a kiss?"And he didnt confront me,not once..in reality I confronted him,and then he spat lies in my face,and apparently in yours too''

He was hoping this was getting through her head,because if she couldnt believe him,Axel,the guy who doesnt lie about a damn thing most of the time,then she'd be a love slave of Marluxia for the rest of her life.But the redhead wouldnt let that happen,Larxene was too special for that.

"I'll put this in a nutshell if this is too difficult to understand...I called you to my counter,where we are now''Axel waved his hand over the conveyor belt silently."Then I asked you a bullsh*t question because you wanted a good reason for me to call you over here,you got frustrated,demanded the truth,and I asked if you were doing anything later..''he said,trying to speed it up and not throw in too many uneccesary details."And then..it happened,you could say I asked you out on a date..and then right when we kissed and got to know each other more''He put much emphasis on this."You dissapeared,and later I found you with Marluxia in that Harem outfit...''

He had done his best,the rest would have to be up to Larxene.


OOC: my longest post ever? xD

 

ooc:cough cough My throght hurts.....Everyone forgive me...I'll be on more this week

MY looks atround boredly sighs."Nothing to do much...or...maybe...."she says getting a devily smile.She walks out the store and looks at walmary and smiles more.I'll just have some fun there!"she exclaims smiling.

 

OOC: I...I think it is xP.

Larxene didn't know what to say, so she just stared up at Axel blankly, making her kunai disappear as her anger died down and was reaplced with slight confusion. For a fact, she knew, that the redhead wasn't lying, he couldn't have been, nothing in his expression or his eyes spelled dishonesty, and even the most greatest of liars can't hide the secrets in their eyes. Not to mention, that if the fact that he didn't give a damn was true, he wouldn't be saying this or wasting his time to hide it, unless he didn't want her to hate him or something. However, for some reason, she couldn't believe the fact that Marluxia was lying either, it seemd almost...impossible for him to lie to her. Why would he? Maybe there was more to the story, and she was just hearing different views of the events, and somehow it got all mixed in? She didn't really know...and she couldn't decide either, a part of her went with Axel, then another went with Marluxia. Obviously, one had to be telling the real, real truth, and she couldn't even figure it out herself because she was being used in all these events. Thinking this over more carefully, she felt a headache start to rise, and she sighed, not...able to...understand, exactly. Then what happend with the genie and how was it used?

"Larxene, I suggest you don't listen to him, he's obviously spitting more lies," Marluxia said darkly as he came over from his spot, apparently aware of the certain turn of events and not liking it. It seemed that the wish to make her love him didn't work enough to fully spell in Larxene to believe every word he said, or else she wouldn't be doubting, so he had to take manners in his own hands. He honestly didn't know Axel would go that far, and depended on the fact that he left her without the truth back when he confronted them, but now he was earnestly getting in the way, and he would not allow it.

Larxene was his, and that would be how it remains. Placing a hand on the blonde's shoulder softly, he looked down at her sternly, but with a pleading look, "You can't really believe this distrustful rat, can you? We never know what he is thinking, and he just might be just pulling your leg even more. I know what I saw, he confronted me, and didn't care, and I saved you. You're thinking that I would lie to you about this? Larxene, are you actually going to believe him over the one you love and have feelings for? I'm not lying to you! Think about this rationally..."

He made himself so a bit desperate and hopeless, just to add flavor, however, he gave a dangerous glare at Axel from the corner of his eyes in a threat.

 

Axel rolled his eyes at Marluxia's look of helplessness."..Before you fall for any of that,ask yourself,does he have a single bit of proof that I said anything like that?''he folded his arms.He sent a glare right back at Marluxia."Dont let him get to you..he's manipulative and more of a schemer than Zexion..im done''Axel sat back down,he had done all he could to help her see the truth,if she was as smart as he thought she was,then she'd sock Marluxia right in the kisser.

 

Saix, whom previosly only attempted to stay out of the who dispute, realized that this had gone far enough. He spoke up, "Previosly I had always stated that it was my desire stay out of personal issues. However, since this whole dispute has errupted, you have all spent more time argueing about it than actually working!" his scar expanded as he got his "emotions" into it. "Do I need to start sending people home for not being productive? Everyone, say what you need to get off your mind, then get back to work!"

He jestured to the checkout line. "Look, being down two cashiers and one customer service representative has resulted in rediculously long lines!" he pointed out the two of the 7 deadly sins in Wal-mart long lines and idle workers.

 

If you werent one of my bosses I'd tell you to go f*ck yourself Axel thought about Saix.

 

Larxene just shifted her eyes between the two, still undecided, and not wanting to really explain why to Marluxia. The thoughts were still churning from before, and other than the fact that she felt a little guilty for doubting Marluxia, nothing was different, it was still the same questions and holes. There had to be a solution as to who was telling the real truth and who was not...or else...she didn't know what to do. There was something wrong everytime she was with Marluxia, not what she was doing with him, but something hung over the air everytime she showed her feelings to him, and was aware of how many times it kept popping up, she didn't know why, yet it was there, and it couldn't be for no reason. The headache now pounding on her brain, Saïx suddenly went in and began complaining...and she was about to just smack all three of them. Instead, as her thoughts drifted, her eyes widened in realization to something, and she simply left the men alone as she walked out of Axel's cubicle, and heading off in a determined air. She was going to figure this out.

"Where are you going?" Marluxia asked perplexed, watching her back as she was leaving them alone.

She didn't even turn her head back, or answered, because right now, that red genie was going to appear and answer the question once and for all. And after that, see the video screens to see just what she did herself.

 

Saix looked at Larxene as she walked away, not knowing her motivation from leaving. "Well, I'm glad someone has some common sense..." he sent a glare back to Axel and Marluxia.

OOC: Sorry for butting into the convo... but Saix is there, and I don't think a manager could not say anything for that long a period...

 

OOC: Is not aproblem of that, is the fact that he got in a very pressure dramatic discussion that had characters in moods xP.

Larxene had portalled to another section of the store, knowing that Marluxia will follow, and she didn't want anymore interruptions concerning him or Axel. She wanted to find this out herself without anyone feeding her things. Conveniently, she had tarsnproted in front of the tech room where the videos are, and looking around the store, not knowing where that red genie was, "Genie! Where are you?!"

She didn't know if that would work, or else she would have to search the whole of WalMart for him, and she really didn't want to do that. Might as well see if he listened or not, if he didn't come then...she really didn't know what else to do.

 

As Larxene called forth the genie... red smoke surrounded her as though by her command. A horrible sadistic laughter could be heard. The smoke finally groupd together forming a shap of a man. A tall slender figure carring a serpentine staff, "Yes, my lady, how can I be of assistance?" he questioned with a dark tone... it was Jafar the genie once again imitating his human form.

OOC: Saix would be a bad manager if he did not get involved when people pulled weapons on each other...

 

Larxene just simply glared at him unimpressively, but thinking she should loosen up if she wanted to find out what she need, she crossed her arms, and eyed him with a serious expression. "Listen, I know is weird to ask, and I'm still a bit annoyed at you for not taking away my harem outfit, but I need to know something concerning Marluxia...." With that said, hoping he would listen, she gave a short version of the problem, the lying, and the different stories, and that she just didn't know which one was true, making sure to mention Axel. Once she was done, Larxene gave him a almost frenzied look. "In other words, since you were the one granting the wishes, you're the only source of truth that I can have. So, who was the one who wished I could love, have feeings for, lust...them? And...did Axel and Marluxia both used the lamp?"

For some reason, she was feeling a bit anxious of the answer, after all, she didn't know what she was going to get as a reply, could be anything.

 

"Axel? Another fool attempting to contain my power? Bah." Jafar sneered. "I would not grant that idiot a wish if I owed it to him, someone so careless is not fit to have wishes granted to him." He trailed off, "Marluxia on the other hand was a man with vision, I gladly granted him his wishes in the way which would please him most... even you!" he pointed accusingly, "You didn't actually think you loved him did you? Perhaps my own powers were underestimated. Alas, I am unable to undo the situation, since my power has deminished slightly since my separation from the lamp."

After a brief pause he continued, "Anything else my dear?"

 

As the last of the customers left, Riku finally gave out a sigh of relief.
"Damn... that was harder than I thought." He backed up against the counter and lifted himself up with his arms and sat down next to the broken register. He looked at the pile of "go back" items that needed to be taken back to their original spot, his work was not just done yet. He looked over to Kairi who was also cleaning up around her, gathering the go backs she'd collected.
"you missed one..." he pointed at a pair of jeans lying behind her. He took a another sigh of relief. He'd finally had a chance to sit. He sat happily, resting his tired legs as Sephiroth came by after locking the doors. He handed both Riku and Kair a "Good Job" pin and walked off.
"A pin?" Riku thought as he stared at the bold white letters of the pin held between his fingers.

 

Once Kairi had finished scanning the items for her last customer, she immediately began to put all of the "go back" items in a crate that she could carry around the stor. She was a bit confused when Sephiroth came up and handed her and Riku a pin. "Uhh... Thanks..." She said and placed the pin in her pocket. She went back to gathering items. "Huh...?" She said to Riku and then turned around, seeing that she had left a pair of jeans lying on the floor. "Oh... thanks..." She said and smiled, picking up the jeans. She placed the jeans into the crate and picked it up. She carried the crate around the stores, placing the items on their respectful places on the shelves. She had spent numerous hours memorizing where everything in the store was. That way, it was quicker for her to put it away every day. After a few items, she stopped walking and placed the crate on the floor. She wiped sweat from her forehead. This is heavier than I thought... She picked it up again and started to put things away again.

 

Larxene shook her head lifelessly, her face blank, but her eyes showed that she was a bit in shock, not believing that all this time it was Marluxia who had been using her. So it was him...that wished her to love him, and now she understood why she didn't remember whatever she did with Axel...it all started to make sense now. However, before she could even process what she just heard, her mind felt woozy for a moment, and she almost went unconcious if she didn't black out for only a second and wake back up, almost falling. Leaning against a nearby wall a bit dazed, wondering what was that....she now noticed something change. It was small, but she had noted it...the visions were floating across her mind now, of her and Axel...how she began to make moves on him, and how they touched...her eyes widened after composing herself. It was like everything was coming back, and she knew every action, what she thought when kissing his neck, and...and the unbearable attraction she had...no, has for him. What...?

She tried to find the reason again of why she loved Marluxia and had feelings for him, as now her whole body was filled with rage and hate for the discovery of the wish that came with the genie, but not hurt. Nothing. Nada. It was like...the feelings she had for him were gone. All of them. And right now...it was only replaced by her likeness of Axel. Her anger was put on hold for a moment at this sudden switch, her eyes looking at the red genie questionably, "What do you mean you can't undo the situation? You just did. I-I..I don't even love Marluxia anymore, everything...so you must've lifted the spell...."

At least, that's what she concluded, I mean, why else would the love and feelings for him disappear like that? Especially with the sudden dizziness she had felt. Not to mention, unlike Axel before, she remembered everything that happened between her and Marluxia.

 

"Well, perhaps the knowledge of this form of magic is beyond my grasp," he chuckled at her expression, "Or perhaps you do not concern me enough for me to put forth the effort to explain it thoroughly, need I remind you of your dress?" he laughed as he faded back into the red fog from wence he came.

 

He watched as Kairi left with her go back items. She sure wokred hard... only if he worked as hard... After kairi was out of his sights, he jumped down from the counter gathering his go back items.
"these customers never know what they really want...." he mumbled. He grabbed a trolly a customer had left behind near his counter, and after placing all the items in it he headed for the men's trial sections to grab the go back items left behind in that area.
"Where is everyone?" he wondered.

 

Kairi sighed as the last item in her crate was placed on the shelf. Picking up the crate, she walked back towards the counter. She placed the crate where it had originally been and started to walk around the store, quickly scanning to make sure that all of the items were in order. Then she stopped by the fitting rooms and picked up the clothes there and started to put them back on the right racks. At least I can go home soon... She thought. As she put a pair of jeans on the rack, her vision began to blur. Feeling lightheaded, she leaned against a nearby wall.

 

Larxene growled at the impudent little genie as he disappeared, but he didn't matter anyway, she already got the answer she was looking for. The only thing she could guess from this was that the spell somehow broke when she found out the truth, which was...relieving. After finding out what Marlxuia had done, she was worried she would still love him anyway due to the wish, as that was something she couldn't control, but it didn't turn out that way...thankfully. Running a hand through her blonde hair tiredly, the whole thing taking a toll on her, she straightened herself up, her lips in a frown, and it deepened more and more every time the thought of what Marluxia did...and even Marluxia himself ran through her mind. Her fists clenched as her jaw tightened. Damn b**tard. It was almost as if a hot, steaming wax was slowly dripping down from her collarbone and to her stomach, the senses passing to her nerves, and they burned so fiercely, some sparks travelled along her body as the hatred filled her every being. He...damn him, and then he tried to place all the blame on Axel, partly so she could hate him. Why? Of course, jealousy...yeah, well, she'll sure to give him a extra bonus on that.

Gritting her teeth, she opened the door to the tech room harshly, and went inside quickly, shutting it behind her in a slam. Larxene found herself in a dark room, nothing but two rolling chairs there, and the one side of the wall filled with miniature screens all over depicting every inch of the store. She wanted to know everything. Every. Single. Detail. And as her blue eyes scanned the station Axel was in, she'll start there first and rewind.

Marluxia had been following her out, but when she stopped in the middle of the aisle, she simply portalled out. He tried to reach for her and stop her from leaving, yet it was too late. And now she was gone, and he didn't know where. Feeling his anger rise, he cursed under his breath at this misfortune, and sharply with a dark look, walked back to where Axel and Saïx were, not caring that the assistant manager was there as he reached them and turned to the redhead. He somehow wanted to wreck his neck and make him disappear, but for now, all he did was speak calmly, "You just had to open your mouth as usual, didn't you? At first, weren't you the one that said you were fine with all of it when you found out, even happy? And you left? Why the damn change of, pardon the pun, heart, Axel?"

This could ruin what he had done to a extreme, especially as he didn't know exactly what Larxene was thinking now.
