Take this not into consideration... XP
I looked around at the dark Hollow Bastion. It was cold, I snuggled into my old Organisation robe and kept moving. I was looking for Cloud.
Why was I so worried about that boy? Because I was his "Nobody." When he gave his soul to Hades temporarily, he kind of gave away his heart without knowing. I was the outcome of it. My long blonde and red hair was blowing in my face, a reminder of my connection to Cloud. There were also my sky-blue eyes, overshadowed by droopy eyelids and dark circles, reminiscent of Cloud's.
"Hey, you look cold, hon." I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"What do you want, Demyx?" I asked my ex-boyfriend, a Nobody like me, part of the Organisation.
"I only came to see you, babe." He sidled up next to me and put his arm around me. No matter how much warmth was radiating off of him, I didn't bury into him like I would have.
"Yeah, well, maybe that was a bad decision. I mean, you aren't exactly the best fighter." I fingered the Keyblade in my other belt loop, the colder razor-like surface tingled under my hand.
"Is that a threat?" he laughed, and I glared at him, hoping my icy eyes would shoot daggers. I pulled out the Keyblade, a light silver, black handle, my pride and joy. "Whoa, hey now. I was just kidding."
"Yes, well... I wasn't." I growled, and smashed my Keyblade over his wielded sitar. He looked up at me, his light chocolate eyes shocked.
"The goodies have changed you." Demyx said, forlorn. I nodded grimly and headed back to Merlin's house, my current housing. "I just hope this doesn't change what we have."
"Had." I murmured as I walked away. Merlin, Cid, Yuffie, Aerith, and Leon were gathered around the computer.
"Did ya find Cloud?" Yuffie asked as she looked up and saw me. I shook my head and took off my robes, revealing my bright red jacket and light orange, baggy pants. Around my waist was a white belt, a lot more to be expected from someone as grim as I was.
"It's alright, Rosaxi." Aerith said consollingly, wrapping her arm around my shoulders like Demyx had, only with less passion. Leon smiled slightly at me, making my heart race.
"He may be at the Bailey." I muttered, hanging up my robes on the enchanted coat rack, who took it eagerly. "I ran into some Heartless; didn't want to go any further and see what else was there waiting for me." Merlin jumped up.
"Cid!" he said quickly, "Enable the security systems. Wherever Cloud is should be protected. And that may just lead us to Cloud..."
We stared at the blinking screen eagerly, looking for the cute little blue dot we associated with him. We all had different colour dots; Yuffie's was purple, mine was red, Leon's was white, Aerith's was pink, Merlin's was yellow, and Cid's was green. Any other ally we had was orange. The Heartless and Nobodies were little blinking X's. We were all attached to Cid's computer, it showed us where each one of us was. We saw the little rainbow cluster in the corner, where we were. The little X's were wandering around aimlessly, I hadn't thought there were actually Heartless out there. Of course, one of them was probably Demyx, but...
I kept my eyes peeled for that blue dot. I eventually found it up in the opposite corner surrounded by X's.
"Look up there!" I said eagerly, pointing it out. Leon pulled out his sword as I pulled out my Keyblade, and we nodded at each other.
"We're going after him." Leon spoke what was on both our minds. I nodded in agreement, and we rushed out the door before anyone could object. Once we were outside, Leon started laughing.
"What?" I asked, looking up at his scarred face. He only laughed harder.
"You didn't look for Cloud." he said simply. "I was the only one watching the computer. You ran into someone you know, right? A little X was next to you for quite a while, then it kind of shot back and disappeared when you walked in."
"It was Demyx." I wasn't quite sure why I was telling Leon, of all people, but maybe I just trusted him. "He wanted to know why I cared about you guys so much, why I was still hanging around Cloud. He was always suggesting I should let him get destroyed, it would make me stronger, but I dunno... I always feel stronger around him." I exhaled, and I felt Leon's warm arms around mine.
"It's all right. Don't let some weirdo who can't fight make his way into your brain." he comforted, and I snuggled my face into his warm chest. He held me closer, then let me go. "Let's go get Cloud before the Heartless get to him."
I nodded urgently, feeling my face grow warm. We walked around through the Bailey, around the restoration site, through the postern, where we saw about a dozen Heartless swarming toward one area. "Cloud!" I yelled, and the small black creatures turned our way. "Sorry." I whispered to Leon.
"That's all right. You couldn't help it." he called over the thuds and bangs of our blades versus the Heartless. A boom behind us startled me, but when Cloud walked up in between us, he smiled at me.
"Come to protect me, Mother Dearest?" he asked teasingly, and I whacked him below the belt with the handle of my Keyblade. He winced, but laughed harder still.
"You see..." I started, thudding a Heartless with my elbow- "quite simply..."- whacking another one over the head with the tip of my Keyblade- "that's all that I do." I spun around and pushed Cloud's head down. "Making myself look like an idiot..." Leon pushed my head down as another Heartless swarmed over. "especially for you." Both guys were greatly amused by my poem, and I continued unconsciously. "Now I think..." There were only a few dozen Heartless left... "you're wondering..." almost gone... "where I come from..." I loved the expression on his face, pure curiousity. We were done now, and I turned to him, a fascinated grin on my face... "If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun." Leon knew what I was talking about.
"Let's go to Merlin's place and talk about it there..." he warned as more Heartless closed in. We all nodded at each other and ran back to Merlin's house in the Borough.
