 It had been barely half a day since the 'loli' Nobody had arrived at her new home, and, already, she had grown bored with it, finding that attempting to put the house under martial law proved to be useless when a kit smaller than she was had effectively put the house under her rule. And, well, not in the mood to compete with Tuuli for the moment, especially since the blue female had wanted the pseudo Org. member to join in on her games of make-believe ("You can be the evil witch!" Tuuli had suggested earlier.). Of course, there came the question as to where to go- with nobody to blame for her current misfortune, and, thus, nobody to take her 'anger' out on, the Nobody found herself wandering near the river, stopping to throw rocks at the water in an attempt to scare the fish (the thought occured to Xianthe later that she should have attempted to snatch a few to make dinner, but by then it was too late).
Grumbling under her breath, the purple-haired kitsu took up other activities involving the water and the rocks, including skipping stones and seeing if she could successfully hit anyone that may wander a tad too close to the other side of the riverbank. After all, if she was to be out of luck and misfortunate today, then others should share in it, as well, right? No use letting someone else steal the fun.
Or, in short, if Xianthe couldn't get what she wanted, then like heck if anyone else could.

A shadow soon passed over the other kitsu as the ninja wobbled/glided over the river bank. He had been flying around for quite some time trying to find someone else in this area, aswell as trying to work out the anger that still raced through his veins from an earlier fight he had had with Fai. That mage had made him so furious!
He glanced down to finally notice that he had absentmindedly been following a river, also finally realizing that he was actually quite thirsty from all the yelling and hard flying.
Blood stained, raven black wings turned in the air, making the ninja dip towards the ground. His landing was a sloppy one, for the ninja was still trying to get used to this new form. He trotted to the river bank and crouched down, drinking fully from its clear waters. Hit the spot that was for sure, he hardly noticed that he had a 'visitor' and having ignored that fact was certainly unlike him, but his anger clouded his mind unhealthily.

There was someone there. In her space. Invading her sulking.
There was someone there.
Frowning, the Nobody mulled over her options as she stared down Kurogane from the other side of the river, wondering if now was the time to test how far her aim could reach, given that Xianthe hadn't anticipated anyone else to actually show up. As always, the childlike illusionist was ignorant as to what the other party may be feeling at the moment, given that she was, well, fairly self-centered, and, being a tad stupid, the girl picked up the smoothest stone she could find, figuring that if it didn't hit the ninja, it'd at least splash him.
"Hey! Get off my lawn!" the Nobody called out, lobbing the rock in his general direction (it wasn't her lawn by far, nor was it even a lawn, but Xianthe recalled hearing the phrase uttered before when someone was attempting to rid their property of unwanted guests, and, thus, it seemed like the best thing to say.)
"You're interrupting things," she added.

Kurogane's ears perked, swiveling towards the new voice, a paw swiftly appeared in front of the rock that had been lobbed at him before it had reached his face. Kurogane huffed to himself before looking up from the river, his crimson eyes lazily looking the rock as well as its previous owner over.
" Hn?" The ninja looked around himself before tossing the rock back into the river. He sat down with a thud and blinked lazily at the Kitsu before him, frowning at her as he noticed her outfit. Her coat and hat only reminded the ninja of Fai, deepening his frown even more. This kitsu wasn't a mage too was she? He had had quite enough with mages.

Well, now, that wasn't the response Xianthe was after, not by a longshot; where was the yelling, the anger, the threats? Perhaps she was too used to people finding her to be a nuisance that needed discipline, but it just seemed no fun if her intended victim just tossed the rock back at her.
"I'm trying to think," she informed Kurogane, crossing her arms over her chest, "About things. Important things. And you're interrupting."
A mage? Partly so, and partly not- Xianthe was a bit of an illusionist, especially back in the day (after all, she originally came from a race of cat people that were illusionists), but, well, aside from some not-so-convincing illusions and some small manipulation skills (thusfar mainly just the power of suggestion, which, well, was just an exaggerated form of peer pressure), not really.
"What are you frowning at, anyways?" the Nobody demanded, "Go away, shoo, unless you want me to throw another stone."

Kurogane hadn't reacted to her because he was so used to being pestered that it took a lot to actually get him riled up anymore.
" Trying to think? Does it take that much of an effort?" The ninja smirked before turning away from the other Kitsu. If he was bothering her then fine, he would move right along, the last thing he needed, or even wanted was another pest to add to his anger.
Why was he frowning at? None of her business, and besides bringing it up would only fuel his earlier anger which had finally calmed a bit since he got to the river side. She seemed intent on making him 'shoo' anyways.

Xianthe had been quite content with herself that Kurogane was actually leaving, or had been at first, but his retort hit a nerve with the Nobody, and, fairly irked, stomped a foot irritably.
"What are you trying to imply?" she demanded, shouting at him, "I'll have you know that I'm part of a scary group of people!" the kitsu called after him, even though, in truth, she never had been made an official Organization member, nor would they really care much, anyways, more than likely.
"So...so...yeah! Take that!" the Nobody retorted childishly.

Kurogane turned, regarding the Kitsu before him with an arched brow. Spunky, reminded him of someone who made him smile softly, on the inside of course smiling wasn't allowed in this situation.
He chuckled softly at the mention of her being part of an 'Organization." Over his dimensional travels he had learned to not judge a book by its cover, but he had also learned that it took a lot to scare him. But that was common knowledge. he was amused now, and so he popped a squat right where he stood, wrapping his tails around his paws and tucking his wings tightly against his back.
" Ouch, I don't now how I'll survive that one. Still stings a little."

Spunky, immature, something like that. Still visibly annoyed that her plans had been foiled and things, once again, were not going as she wished, Xianthe glared daggers at Kurogane, wishing she had never bothered to toss that stone at him.
Then again, this was a general source of entertainment, even if the illusionist wanted to cross the river and try wringing his neck.
"Well...well..." the purple haired Nobody stumbled over her words, never really one to be able to put up a convincing argument (temper tantrums, sure, but actual debates? xianthe generally tended to sound like a broken record), "You're no match for the Illusionary Puppeteer, that's for sure!"
A bluff, of course; while Xianthe was a halfway decent fighter against the unprepared, the fact stood that she wasn't on the same level as the rest of the Organization, nor would she be all too capable of holding her own against the ninja. Course...he didn't have to know that, right?
"So don't even think of treating me like a kid!" she finished, even though this had never been brought up in the first place.

" Illusionary Puppeteer?" The ninja cocked his head to the side in wonder as the purple haired kitsu before him went on about how he was no match for her. She really didn't know him that well, and it only made him smirk more in amusement.
" Is that so?" He stood up slowly, flicking his tails back behind him before falling into a defensive crouch. He was merely playing, having been unable to really test out this new form as well as the bent up anger from his earlier argument only made him 'playful.' He didn't hurt girls without good reason anyways. He did find it odd how she automatically assumed he was treating her like a child, however, must have been a sore subject.

Xianthe never really knew anyone she threatened that well, which, well, was the point; it didn't do any good to try bluffing to someone who could see right through her lies, nor did it do any good to attempt to fight someone like that, given past experience. "Yes, the Illusionary Puppeteer," the Nobody affirmed, nodding her head, "Not anything else you might have heard them keep calling me. Ssstupid idiots," she added, though it was more or less to herself.
As for size? That was fairly much a touchy subject with her, given that Xianthe's last form involved her being stuck in the form of a child; the clan she came from went by a different system of aging- 'Ianthe' would have been a teen, but, for whatever reason, upon becoming a Nobody, fate, as it would have it, made her her literal age in human years, somewhere along the lines of ten. There had been one explanation or another as to how this was because Xianthe was what was human and non-feral in Ianthe, but far be it if the Nobody ever listened to that without protesting.
"And yes, that's so! Why are you questioning me?" the petite illusionist inquired, "Do you doubt me?" She paused, and frowned. "Who are you, anyways?"

Kurogane raised a brow at Xianthe. Being called a child, he guessed, was a real problem with her and these 'others' that she spoke of. He chuckled softly to himself before once more sitting down, his tails wrapping around his paws. This kid was pretty intent on not being treated differently, and he could admire that, and also it let him understand why she was acting so defensive.
" I wouldn't know these 'others' you speak of anyway. I just came here from another world." He paused, looking at his new form, huffing at it yet again. " I'm not even used to having four legs and looking like a dog."
Who was he? He didn't see any harm in telling her that bit of information. " Kurogane."

"It's not like I'm used to this, either!" Xianthe shrieked defensively, "This isn't even close to...to...to...it's not right! It's not how I should look, period!"
Or, at least in her opinion, it wasn't how she should look; this wasn't her Halloween Town form at all, and certainly a far cry from the clan's appearance! She may not have entirely remembered her time as Ianthe, but the girl knew enough to deduce that fate didn't like her, and, thus, this was some sort of booby prize.
But! In any case, introductions were in order on her part, given that the Nobody wasn't one to go without making herself known, and thus, the petite illusionist gave a mock curtsy of sorts.
"I'm Xianthe, the Illusionary Puppeteer," she greeted, "Part of Organization XIII."
Xianthe left her 'number' out for now, given that it never had been hers to begin with as much as she claimed it for herself after the Roxas in her world left, but, eh, she still considered herself to be XIII if only for the sake of the fact that it was an unlucky number and she was, or used to be, an unlucky black cat.
"So...uh."
A pause, as the Nobody was torn between yelling more or being insanely curious about the ninja's world.
"Where'd you come from?" she finally asked.

Kurogane raised a brow in curiousity yet again. So this purple-haired kitsu was liek him in the case that this form was new to her. It was nice to know he and the mage weren't the only ones in this situation.
He blinked as she began to introduce herself. Organization Thirteen? What the hell was she babbling on about? So young and yet in an organization? The ninja momentarily pondered what world she had actually came from before she questioned him about his own origin, making him forget the thought.
" Hmmm. Well we came from a world where people fought on chess boards. I believe it was called Infinity."

She'd express a similar relief in not being the only one to have found themselves in a new form, but, well, Xianthe was a tad busy at the moment. As for the Organization? Well, she wasn't that young- perhaps a child by human standards in years when she first joined, but, well, in her world, over twenty years had passed since then. In short, simply because the Nobody looked, and, eh, acted so young, didn't mean she was.
Though the girl could certainly attest to a lack of life experience. Taking over the Castle That Never Was, or, uh, whatever it was called, after the deaths of the 'real' Organization XIII, didn't really leave much time to go out into the world.
"People fighting on chess boards?" Xianthe repeated, giving Kurogane a weird look, "Infinity? Sounds something like you'd find in Wonderland."
