Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure," The young woman responded pleasantly, even though her heart skipped a beat at his question. She remembered Roxas' earlier words to her, strange as they were, and she couldn't help but wonder if what he said was true.

But...they didn't know each other too well yet, right? So...it couldn't be her, right?

Shaking away those thoughts, Tifa tucked an errant lock of hair behind her ears as she quietly waited for him to lead the way. With all the things that had gone on lately, she'd forgotten about the chill of the night.

Rubbing at her arms swiftly and trying to forget about the weather - she didn't want to inconvenience Saix - she nodded in a general direction and added easily, "Any destination in mind?"

Keeping pace with him easily, Tifa smiled at his response. He was quiet now, so much different from the agitated state he'd been earlier, and she was happy for that.

"Okay then," she murmured quietly, not wanting to break the comfortable silence that spanned between the two of them.

The streets were silent, and Tifa was gazing up at the sky, at the little stars that were generously sprinkled in the night sky, like precious dismonds against a velvet curtain. Finally, though, she spoke, a flicker of a smile dancing on her lips. After all the commotion, it was refreshing to simply...relax. She knew that they were headed for alot of trouble in the near future, but with Saix here...it was impossible to dwell on that bleak possibility.

"It's such a beautiful night..." she pointed upwards almost excitedly, "You see, there's Orion's Belt!"

Tifa was shocked when Saix had wrapped his arms around her and brought her up to the higher portion of the town.

Her heart had leapt in her throat in the few moments that his arms were around her, warm and secure. His touch was gone too quickly when he let go of her, and the young woman was dazed for a few moments before she quickly recovered and took her place next to him. God, why was she always so stupid when she was around him?

Admiring the smile on his lips for a few brief moments, Tifa turned back to the sky and nodded her agreement, leaning back slightly and hoping that she didn't fall off.

Oblivious to his thoughts, Tifa turned to smile at him, her hands at her sides to support herself as garnet eyes sparkled in the silvery light. She hoped for peace too, and she knew that that day would soon arrive. They were all fighting together, weren't they?

"It will, someday," She responded. "We're all fighting for that, aren't we? And as long as we believe that it'll come one day, it will!"

Pointing upwards towards the stars, she laughed softly. "See, Saix? Those are not stars at all. They're little holes that the angels poke in the night sky, so that tiny bits of Heaven can peek through, and so that we can see that they are watching over us."

She'd always believed in it as a child, and she had believed in it even now as she smiled at him softly. "They'll be watching over you too....always."

”AUUUGGHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Greed’s scream of agony filled the room when Saix took his brutal hold on his burnt arm. He couldn’t contain it. It was too much. The pain. It was unlike anything he had felt before. It only grew and grew and became more unbearable. Look at him. How… shameful.

The searing pain did not dissipate when the blue haired man released his arm but it was much better than before. Greed gasped for air, trying his best to relieve the pain that simply would not go away. Did he deserve this? Even if he didn’t… he could do nothing.

Greed was more than thankful to have Zexion stop Saix and his woman to lead him away. It was his personality would simply not allow him to voice his appreciation. But his eyes could. He struggled to look at the teen with thankfulness before, once again, wincing from the pain.

“Heh…” the Heartless laughed weakly to Saix. “Ta…take your time…”

That pained grin returned to his lips. “You can tell …” he was having problems speaking now. He had yet to catch his breath. “You… can tell him that I… I’ll answer your questions. Don’t… worry.”

“Our group… there are… seven of us. I am third, Greed, and Marluxia’s counter… counterpart. Four… is Envy. He is Vexen’s Heartless. Five is… Saix’s Heartless… Wrath. Larxene’s… Lust… is… is Six. Gluttony is Seven… Luxord’s… Then… Two. He is Pride… Zexion’s Heartless. Then Sloth… he’s Demyx’s Heartless… and… Number One.”

The last two names were mentioned with a touch of spite and anger. He’d rather not think of one or two at the moment. There was just too much… too much going on here.

He had to wonder, though, if Pride had finished his task.

“Huh?” Roxas fell backwards as Stitch fumbled out of the room. “Stitch?” The boy looked around the room a little longer. The smile that Stitch had given him faded away when he saw Marluxia’s Heartless now awake. He, Leon, Saix, and even Marluxia seemed deep in the conversation with him. Probably some kind of interrogation…The blonde made his way to his feet and followed the little alien outside.

“Poor Stitch… something in there is bothering him…” he mumbled. That wasn’t to say there was nothing on his mind… nothing plaguing him. Roxas stood against the wall below the steps and slid to the ground. He gathered his knees in his arms and continued to stare at the ground with those bright blue eyes.

What was going to happen to them now? Kingdom Hearts was gone… He knew what Sora and everyone had said on the journals. About how it wasn’t his fault and that it wouldn’t make a difference. He still felt that he had some way in bringing its demise. Why had his heart come back? He knew he was not about to give it up for anything… but he just felt so torn. Almost as if he was stuck down the river without a paddle.

More than anything, he felt lost. Roxas sat out in the chilly breeze and buried his head into his knees with his thoughts overwhelming him. He almost wanted to cry but he knew that tears were no where nearby. They never came when you wanted them too. Instead, he closed his eyes and felt himself drift off into a light slumber.

He didn’t want to feel alone anymore.

Stitch had been hiding out in a corner, clapping his paws over his head and struggling to wait until the sounds ended. The high pitched whistling angered him, and the little summon had left a trail of destruction in his wake, ripping up random trees and tearing into assorted things that lay nearby.

However, the tiny creature had not gone too far, and had perked up when he spotted Roxas outside the house. Remembering the way the boy tried to soothe him in the journals, Stitch flattened his ears against his head and trotted over, all four little legs making skittering sounds on the pavement.

Was Roxas tired? Stitch knew that people looked like that when they were tired, or sad, and the tiny summon nudged at the boy's knees, it's tiny tuft of a tail wagging hopefully. This boy was as nice as Sora, and maybe Stitch could help him out, somehow.

He didn't like to see others looking so lonely.

Making a soft chittering noise, Stitch tried to crawl into the little space between Roxas' chest and his legs, tiny limbs scrabbling for purchase on the boy's form.

"Erngh!" The summon grunted, nudging at Roxas again, trying to crawl in. It was a bit of a squeeze, but Stitch liked it. It was warm and nice and reminded him of home, wherever that was now....

Aerith was a bit caught off guard when Cloud asked what was wrong, "Oh...it's nothing. Just a little stressed".

Liar, Why can't you just tell him how you feel? Are you really THAT traditional?


If it was possible for her to kick herself, she would. Well, atleast she could vent to Yuffie, wait...her guy problems? Yuffie likes someone? Wow...now she wanted to know who. Best to spill her male troubles first.

Aerith lowered her voice to a low whisper, "It's Cloud, incase you haven't guessed....is it that obvious?" she looked down, a bit embrassed, "So...what about you?"

Kairi lead the former organization leader through Radiant Garden, until they finally came across a shop. She peaked in the window, she couldn't see anyone. Kairi slowly opened the door, "Hello...?"
And there was the shopkeeper, a small duckling. Well...that was something you don't see too often. After talking with the keeper, and getting a decent deal on the items, she paid and walked back outside, where she left Xemnas.

Kairi doubted Xemnas could remeber his shoe size...let alone to tie them, so the best she could do was guess. She bought a fairly big pair, just to be safe, and a jacket.

"Here you go" she handed the items to him, "Do you remember how to put on shoes...?"
