~ Organization XIII In WalMart ~

The Seifer phantoms formed into one phantom. The super phantom grabbed Kairi. "Be happy it's US and not THEM." the phantom told her. He pointed to the Riku phantoms, who were still attacking the real Riku. He took her into the back room and threw her down in front of the panel. The super Seifer phantom split back into the normal Seifer phantoms. They held her in an almost suffocatingly tight grip and forced her arm to touch the glowing object in the panel. "Don't try to resist like last time." said the one closest to her left ear. The one by her neck took out a phantom gunblade and put it across her neck. "Or you'll have this through your throat." that one threatened.

Xaldin looked at the still KO'd Saix. Knowing that it's probably gonna take a while, he got a chair and sat down next to it and closed his eyes. "This better not take as long as it did to make Kingdom Hearts...which was a total failure." he thought.

 

Kairi tried to struggle away. When she heard Seifer say that, she looked up, only to see Riku being attacked. She tried to tug away> "Riku!" She shouted, worridly. She didn't want him to get hurt. However, now was not the time to worry about others. She needed to try and get away from the phantoms. She grunted and tried to struggle away as they dragged her into the back room. When they split apart again, she tried to resist. They tried to make her hand touch the object, but she pulled back. She didn't want to be trapped in there forever, However, her eyes widened when she felt the gunblade against her neck. Tears fell down her cheeks. Even though the blade was at her throat, she still tried to tug away. "Stop it, Seifer! Just what are you trying to do?!" She asked.

 

"To be honest..it's pretty nice''Axel said,staring at his icy cool bottle of root beer,eyeing the small bottles floating up to the surface."Little does anyone know..I sometimes enjoy..''Axel made a face,as if sayign the words made him sick."..Being nice to stranger's who are just trying to buy things they want and need..and with Roxas,and you..this job isnt as bad as anyone might think''he finished softly,lowering the tough guy act just a little while to show Larxene his true colors.

 

"Oooh, so now I'm on the list with Roxas, aren't I? Guess I'm special," Larxene teased playfully, taking another sip from her Coke, though she didn't want to make herself full with the drink instead of the food. She was still utterly hungry. Closing her eyes, she leaned back her head on the shoulder it laid, thinking of a question, as she wanted to ask him as well, instead of letting it be awkward with Axel only wanting to know things. Larxene bit her lip, wondering if it was a good idea to find out now, but decided to go with it, and she asked softly, almost hesitant, "What...what do you think of me?"

Her eyes flickered open then, staring intently into his eyes, as the question meant to her in a lot of ways.

 

"What are you talking about? They're acting on their own! All I did was-" His voice was muffled right here. Then it came back. "-and they just moved on their own! When you hear them talk, THEY are the ones talking. Besides, they're just fragments of this place. So it's natural for them to bring in others. Blame them, not me! I'm just watching." Seifer said from the camera. "What he says is true." one of the phantoms said. "We don't take orders from anyone." said another. "We just do what we want!" they all told to her. "Now enter, m'lady." said the one by her right ear. Her hand was less than a fourth of an inch away from the object. Meanwhile, the real Seifer sat down on the floor and watched.

 

Axel hesitated for a moment,not expecting a question like that to arise so soon.Staring back at her,he softly spoke out."Larxene,number 12 in the Organization,and a major hottie..''he said,as if it was commonly known."Widely known as a loose cannon to some,but they dont see the true you..they dont want to get to know you because of how aggressive you are,did you know that?''he asked her,smirking.He knew she asked about what HE thought,but he just wanted to annoy her a little."Before I continue,Larxene..''Axel grew very serious."..What makes you decide to come here with me in the first place?,it cant be my looks or my natural charm..and being one of the most hated in the Organization,I just need to know,why?''

Axel didnt mean to change the subject,since it would seem that he was buying himself time,but he wanted o know why.They were physically attracted to her,but he asked her out,and she agreed..he had to hear the exact reason from her.

 

Larxene smiled as the first sentence spewed out of his mouth, and she rolled her eyes, though she secretly liked the introduction. She had expected him to answer her question after, but instead, he simply told her things she knew. Of course that no one approached her as she was aggressive, she had made it that way, but she also didn't think that people would bother to get to know her, in her opinion. What Axel did was return her question with another question, and she narrowed her eyes at him dryly, though she honestly didn't want to answer that just yet. That was basically the opening to express her feelings for him, but she didn't want to...at least for now. Larxene needed to know his thoughts about her first, just in case she wasn't setting herself up for disappointment. Her eyes shifting down, she simply replied, the words making it sound childish, "I asked you first..."

Sighing, she contemplated this manner over cautiously, her fingers wringling with each other, before also adding, her voice sounding unsure, "If you answer that, I swear I'll tell you. It depends though..." Her eyes shifted back up again, looking at his face, making him know that she wasn't kidding, and that she truly promises. She could simply lie and reply to his inquiry, but she knew he will see through it somehow, or won't be fully convinced. She also couldn't say it was because he had such a great personality and he was so handsome, he won't fall for it.

 

OOC: remind me again why Seifer is doing all this.. O.o'



Riku's leap was useless, he was only blocked by what looked like an image of himself.
"What the!!!" he yelled as he blocked the attack from the Dark Phantom Riku. "Kairi!!"
The Dark Phantom Rikus constantly attacked him with dark aura and dark fiagra as he desperately tried to block each and every one with his keybalde and his dark shield. He inched closer and closer to the Rikus when suddenly one of the Seifers jumped at him and using his shoulders as she platform, jumped higher and pressed something on the camera. A blue laser shot out it and headed towards him. But Riku was too fast for it, for he immediately grabbed onto the leaping Seifer's leg and used him as a shield. Within a blink of an eye, literally using the Seifer like a bat, he spun around in place, knocking over most of the army of Rikus still attacking him. The rest, he easily took care of by his dark aura.
Unfortunately, while he tried to get himself out of the situation, Kairi on the other hand was now captured by what looked like a giant Seifer, who'd taken her to the back room, to the control panel.
“Damn it!!â€
He ran after her. Aiming at the Seifer who was forcing her hand to touch the glowing object, fired a dark aura and bull's-eye! The phantom Seifer disappeared and he'd caught the attention of the others. He ran towards them enraged, Keybalde at the ready.
How dare they touch her!
Firing repeated attacks of Dark Fiagras and Dark Auras, he literally wiped out the rest of the phantoms. Riku was wiped out... he was tired, he huffed as he tried to catch his breath. He fell to his knees in front of Kairi, breathing heavily.
“Are.... you.... hurt?†He rasped and coughed. “Damn... where.... is... Sepihiroth... when you... need... him?â€

 

Kairi was confused when his voice suddenly muffled, but she ignored it and tried to tug away. She was getting really close to the panel... Only about a centimeter left... Tears spilled out her eyes as she thought she would be trapped in there forever, She soon gave up and closed her eyes, but then, suddenly, Riku came in and wiped the phantoms out. She opened her eyes, looking around and seeing that they were all gone. Tears still fell down her cheeks. She looked over at Riku. Riku... When he fell down on his knees beside her, she hugged him tightly. "Riku! Thank goodness you're okay!" She said. Kairi didn't want anything to happen to him...

 

"I'm... fine.." He spoke. "I'm fine.... Kairi. Really"
Riku barely had the strength to put his arms around her, but he managed to rest his head on her petit shoulder for comfort, still breathing heavily. He looked around the dark room and then back at the camera. Giving the camera a bitter look, he slowly raised his hand and searched for his cell phone.
Pulling way from Kairi's embrace, he sat up in confusion. "Where's my cell phone?"
He traced his hand around his pockets and his chest trying to locate it. He must call Sephoroth now. The entire Seifer situation was getting out of hand.

 

Kairi gave a small sigh of relief, glad to see that he was okay. When he mentioned his cell phone, however, she remembered that it was on the floor. Quickly, she got up and walked over, picking up the phone. Then she walked over and handed it to riku. "Here," She said and smiled. Then, she gentlywiped the tears from her eyes.

 

Vexen's eyes narrowed with intrigue... "What did you have in mind?"

Dispite his efforts to cover it up, the weakened of Xemnas did not escape the notice of Sephiroth. However, Sephiroth himself was not in a much better situation, surrounded by a crystal like prison, which gradually sapped his strength into nothingness. He knew that the situation could only end catastrophically for each, it would not be logical to press the the attack much further. "Perhaps a different tactic is nessisary..." he sheathed his great katana, and looked at his opponent.

Saix stood up, gradually regaining his balance. He slapped the defenseless Xaldin with a Japanese fan. "What are you doing sleeping on the job?" he growled, "Your the auditor, your supposed to be making sure everyone else is working!"

 

"Oh... thank you." He smiled at her, remembering that he'd dropped his phone on the other room. Riku dismissed his keybalde as he looked at the phone, getting ready to dial sephiroth's number.
"Oh no..." he mumbled. "The phone's broken."
Just his luck. He tilted his head back on the wall, as he looked at Kairi. He was frustrated by everything. Seifer wouldn't leave them alone and Sephiroth had disppeared somewhere and the entire K-Mart was in a state of chaos.
"I hate my life so much right now." he said in a sarcastic tone.

 

OOC- oh, geez... I go into my living room to see my whole family sitting on the couch eating easter candy... lol...

When Kairi saw that the phone was broken, she sighed. She usually didn't carry a cell phone with her, otherwise she'd let him borrow it. Noticing that Seifer seemed to be staying quiet for now, she sat down next to Riku. When he said that, she laughed. "No you don't..." She said and smiled, knowing that he was being sarcastic. She decided to take this chance to relax a bit, considering that this had been one of the most hectic days of her life.

 

Xemnas simply summoned back his Aerial Blades into his hands in a electrifying sound, the two long red blades prepared for any attack Sephiroth might conjure up, and now aware of most of his power. Hurt or not, he wasn't going to exuded any sort of weakness to his opponent. He didn't know what else Sephiroth wanted, but he awaited his first move nonetheless.

 

OOC: wow... I'd have joined in with all that candy... O_O man.. I'm hungry. I want a SubWay ^_^

"Tahnk you Kairi." He said smiling at her. "You always brighten my day."
He put one arm around her shoulders as she cuddled up to him, comforting him. The touch of her skin, and the feel of her warmth made him forget about his troubles and the fact that he felt so weak at the moment. He rested his head on her shoulders, and closed his eyes.
"Some day huh?"

 

OOC- lol... aww... that's cute <3 Riku and Kairi make a good couple, IMO :P

When Riku put his arm around her shoulders, she couldn't help but blush. However, she smiled as she cuddled up next to him, feeling more relaxed. She leaned up against him and closed her eyes as well, relaxing and enjoying the moment of peace. "Yeah..." She said and laughed. "Quite the bunch of things happening..." She smiled and gave a slight yawn.

 

OOC: yeah... i'd have liked that too... but the hot ones are always the sub characters... <_< always... >.<


As much as he'd have loved to have more of these sweet moments with her, he knew that this was not the place... or time. Seifer may be quiet for now, but he won't be for too long.
"You know..." he began. "We must do something about that Seifer. He won't stay put there forever. He'll try somethng again."
He hated to do it, but he pulled away from her.
"We can't let our guard down." Giving her a quick smirk and a wink he added, "We can relax tomorrow evening when we are at the movies."

 

Kairi looked at Riku. "Yeah... You're right..." She said and stood up. "So what do we do now...? She asked, looking around at the cameras. "Y'know... It's not really our job to make sure that Kmart's running smoothly... That's Sephiroth's job..." She said and looked around. "He should be here taking care of the place..." She shrugged. "Well, now Seifer's running loose... So, what do we do?" she asked, looking around at the cameras. She felt entirely exhausted.

OOC- yeah... that sucks! T-T

 

OOC: Riku totally asked Kairi out on a date.. she didn't even notice. xD
brb.. dinner (subway!!!) awaits. xD


"Er... Yeah..." He wondered if she'd realized that he'd asked her out. He stood up to face the panel, trying to figure out what he should do.
"Well Sephiroth isn't here... and the store is apparently under my charge. Besides... if we don't take care of this place, we'd kinda be jobless Kairi."
