Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wow… this group was a little strange. Off beat even… but that wasn’t saying much consider the people that Number Four hung around with… though that wasn’t exactly by choice. It was more of the fact that he had no where else to go. But these people… were they even friends? They stood up for Axel but then the girl ran off and Sora dashed after her. The Heartless had no idea who the blondie was but he certainly knew Demyx. Demyx… The Heartless eyed the musician wearily and dared not take his eyes of the man. If that guy ev-

The cloaked man doubled over in pain. He couldn’t breathe! He couldn’t breathe! What just happened? He looked up to see the blonde kid already rushing back. Why wasn’t he paying attention! He really shouldn’t be here!

It took awhile for him to catch his breath so he could speak once again. “H-hey!” Number Four wheezed. “I… I didn’t do anything to him! Okay? Cool it!”

Now, this group was an interesting one. Greed liked how they could simply move from issue to issue in a matter of seconds, despite how he was still standing around. In fact, it was quite amusing. So much that a quiet laugh escaped his lips. Love was certainly in the air…

Though the Heartless did not expect that rather annoying ninja to attack from no where with such a powerful attack. This time he was caught off guard, unlike when Saix attacked. Now he had no time to dodge the attack.

Instead he scrambled to draw Deception once again. The wakazashi was held up just in time to deflect the gigantic shruiken from its deadly path. Greed, however, did not survive unscathed. The pure energy that the shruiken emitted seared off a good portion of his billowing sleeve and scorched quite a bit of his hand and lower forearm. But that, of course, was better than loosing one’s head. The large projectile weapon spun off in a completely different direction and away from all the other people in the intersection.

“Well now,” Greed passed Deception to its home once again. He shook his hand for a few moments, trying to relieve it from the searing pain though he would not allow the others to notice how badly it hurt. His face remained in the same grin as ever. “That was what had almost hurt poor Gluttony, wasn’t it? We aren’t even your enemies as you were not part of the Organization XIII. How rude!”

Saix glared over at Greed. He didn't understand that they were all in it together. Gluttony...

He must have been talking about Luxord's Heartless. He concluded. He was glad he was fully recovered. Now he wouldn't be harmed so damned easily! It made him seem so weak.

"The reason they're willing to fight along side us ex-Organization members is because we're all friends! That is why they're attacking you when you won't even try to attack them, Greed." He hissed, his Claymore appearing in his hands once again.

"Why don't you just leave and save us all the trouble of ripping you to peices?"

Saix was sick of games. They kept popping in at random, talking too much and toying with them all! He was sick of it! Anger flashed through his system again. Why couldn't those Heartless just disappear forever?! No one cared about them. They were better off left in the darkness.

Xaldin glared at Greed. Man this p***k was annoying! "That's simple." Xaldin hissed angerly. "It is because you're a threat. From what I hear you guys are doing you're being real pain in the asses." He put his hands behind his back, much like he use to in the past, but he did not know this.

He wished he could fight. He truely did. This guy was too annoying NOT to fight.

"We don't care about your orders! You're leaving this place! Now!" He shouted angerly, gripping the hilt of his Claymore tightly before he ducked low and swung, not intending to throw it or strike him, but it sent a heavy gush of wind at Greed, and no matter how hard the man would try to stay standing, it would be pushed back. He remembered doing this to Kairi and Riku.

It does come in handy sometimes.

"Well, I was trying to talk to you before but you wouldn't anwser..." Aerith frowned, "You brood too much" she held her staff on her shoulder and lightly tapped it against her, in deep thought. After a while she finally sighed, "Well, let's go, then...." she walked back over to where the others were standing, time to face Greed.

Kairi pulled herself off the ground, grabbing Sora's other hand and pulling him up with her, "Let's go back" she smiled and started to walk away from the castle, stilling holding Sora's hand. Kairi remembered that Sora had asked if they could go for a walk back on the islands, she was definately looking foward to it.


((>3 The cuteness...))

Bright orange eyes peeked over the edge of the window of the Gummi Ship. Xemnas still was hiding in the ship, completely horrified of what was going on. He didn't understand it, but there was a large fight going on and he was completely helpless to understand it. There was so much going on as well, and it made him feel nervous.

He pulled himself up on his shaking legs and took in a deep breath. He could walk like the others could! He just knew it. Each small, barefooted step he took was a victory in his blank mind as he slowly climbed out of the ship and then eased himself down onto the ground.

"I did it!" He declared with a smile. He tested his newly found skill out, taking a few paces back and forth before making his way over towards the group that he could see.

Tanned hands lightly adjusted the messed jacket that was hanging just slightly off his shoulders. He vaguely thought to himself that it would be nice to have shoes as his feet feeling rubbed raw and sore from walking along the gravel and rocky ground. He didn't notice that his footsteps started to get slightly bloody as he was too intent on simply trying to walk along. Perhaps somebody would be able to help him later on? He hoped to get a clean jacket. While it kept him clean, it was messy and he felt akward.



(( "Anything But Down" - Chris Holmes ))

What?

Roxas had pulled her down so that she could hear what he had to say, and what he said had startled her, indeed. Me, Saix's...girlfriend? When did that happen?

More confused than anything, she winced when the boy smacked her upside the head, causing her to yelp slightly in response and straighten up. Ow, what had that been for? Had she really been that stupid?

She didn't have a chance to dwell on it any further, though, because Yuffie had already let her shuriken fly, and it had actually set fire to his forearm. A small injury, but still one nonetheless.

It was probably a good thing, considering the things he had been saying right now. Had Greed assumed that any of them would leave the others in the lurch?

Before she could respond, however, Saix had already swung his Claymore, sendinga gust of wind in Greed's direction. Mildly alarmed, her gaze flickered to Saix; she was afraid for him - if there was one thing she learnt, it was that Greed did not attack unless he was attacked, and now...what was the Heartless going to do?

He was capable of seriously hurting any of them with that blade of his, and that particular attack worried her. How could they counter it? She knew that there was a way, but the answer was far out of her reach.

But--

Her eyes widened as Marluxia's scythe arced towards Greed. Would it hit this time? Would Greed be expecting this as well?

"Okay," Sora smiled in return as she helped him up. Letting go of one hand to brush the dirt of his shorts, he nodded and headed in the direction of the current fight.

"Hey, Kairi, I need you to take care of Xemnas, okay?" Sora continued; he had spoken to Xemnas earlier, and apparently he had peed in his ship and was bleeding from his feet from walking as well. It was a wonder that Xemnas had come to this, but...

Oh well.

Maybe it was retribution, or something? He'd learnt that during one of his lessons, and maybe that was it.

Oh crap. Speaking of retribution. Roxas was going to KILL him if he found out Sora had left Namine with them. Picking up his pace, he tugged lightly at the redhead. "Come on, we have to hurry!"
