Rating: PG

Sephiroth…never did Kid think she could hate anyone as much as Lynx, but there she was, angrily putting away her belongings in her new room. The room was fairly large for both her and Serge, allowing them to live together while Glenn resided next-door, and it made her feel empty. She wanted a home, but not earning it by running from a fight. A Radical Dreamer always fought for their future, no matter how strong the enemy, and while she was used to fighting others stronger than her…being outclassed like that…

Her hand gripped on her dagger tightly, desiring to be impaled into something, anything. Her other hand held her head as the pressure from the memory of yesterday came back in full fury, anger rising like never before. Screaming in a fit of rage, she lashed out and swung…

But another hand caught hers, and she froze at the stranger’s touch. It was only until her eyes traveled up the man’s arm and spotting the blue-hair and comforting smile that belonged to her boyfriend.

Tears welled up in her eyes once more, dropping the dagger to the floor before embracing her lover. No tears left from her eyes however, refusing to allow even a single one pass, not until everything was set right. It may not have been her fight before, but she couldn’t just leave things as they were.

Serge returned the embrace, the warmth spreading between their bodies, his hand placed on the back of her head and back. “I’m sorry…If I had gotten their sooner—“

She shook her head, feeling the water ready to fall from her face. “No…if I had been stronger…than there’s no bleedin’ way that bugger could have slipped past me.” She hugged Serge closer to her. “I still gotta kick you arse first…” she muffled into his chain vest.

He sadly smiled, stroking her back. “Save it for after we get used to things around here. C’mon.”

She reluctantly let go of her beloved, and followed him downstairs to the empty tavern below. Glenn had already left, claiming to be after the mysterious swordsman and investigating a way to return home. They both believed him, but they didn’t believe he could do it. The Dragoon was powerful, that they didn’t doubt. It was his detective and interrogation skills they were most concerned about.

The Radical Dreamer walked behind the bar, pouring herself a drink a vodka. It was early, but she just needed something to calm her nerves before she went slashing at everything in sight again. When Serge overlooked her, she pouted at the disapproving look. “What?”

“You know you can’t drink that much.”

She snorted. “I’m 18 now! I can handle this much ya know!” She held up the small glass in front of his face to prove her point further. “It ain’t even that big! I doubt I can get wasted on this little shot!”

Serge sighed. “Fine, but drinking yourself into a stupor isn’t going to help. We need to look after Denzel and—“

At the mention of the boy’s name, both of their faces drained of all color. The one thing they had forgotten…

“Shit!” panicked the thief, dropping the glass on the counter before Serge caught it. “Where the bloody hell is he!?” Her eyes roamed the area, the color draining twice as fast now. If he went with Glenn…

No, this was the last thing she needed. She may not have been the big sister Lucca was, but letting the child out of her sight and leaving him to defend himself, even if he did have Cloud or Glenn with him…It would be like the massacre she witnessed seven years ago.

That, and Tifa would no doubt kick her ass if she lost sight of the kid.

“Denzel!” she shouted through the bar.

“Kid, calm down!” countered Serge, grabbing the thief by the shoulders. “I’m sure he’s around here somewhere….”

The drink near Kid’s side appeared tempting all of a sudden…

Xion was knee-deep in her own mind by the time he showed up. The young woman hadn't even noticed him at all as she studied the keyblade in her lap. Her head snapped up, and her blue eyes went wide as a familiar voice pierced through her thoughts.

'He saw me? What...how did he know it was me? Why is everyone recognizing me?' she thought. For several moments, she had no earthly idea what to even say.

"I was just..." she looked down again. "They didn't even...want my help anyway. That woman yelled at me, called me a...why would you think I was doing anything to you?"

"Edge, huh? Nope, can't say I knew that. Then again, what I was reading was probably old enough it wasn't all that accurate.. whatever." he sighed softly, and idly picked a loose thread from his vest, frowning in thought, "Sephiroth.. wasn't he some kind of bigwig ShinRa SOLDIER? Like.. first class or something like that? Hero of a war in Wutai, but went nutso crazy AWOL and burned some mountain town to the ground?" from what he'd taken in, Sephiroth had been good and dead long before he'd arrived.

"Guess maybe power does corrupt, huh?" he deadpanned the statement, then laughed at his own ill-humour, "Aw well, he was taken down before, it can happen again. Too many good guys in the world for the bad guys to win, but they never seem to realize it. It's funny, really."

ooc: sorry for douche-bag Loz

"You attacked the Heartless, my toys," stated Loz, staring at Xion like a child whose toy was broken...and was clearly angry. "If you weren't there, then that Terra guy could be dead, and maybe I could have had more fun."

Now he remembered the presence he felt. It was the same as the creatures in white, Nobodies Master Xehanort called them. He smirked. Word play was never his forte, but it was worth a shot. Pacing back and forth in front of her as he taunted the poor girl.

"Of course they didn't want your help, a creature rejected by both light and darkness, wandering aimlessly like a lost puppy with absolutely no purpose. We're a lot like, more than you even know. We may be puppets, but at least I have a purpose in my life. But here's the thing, I am a Remnant, while you are literally nothing, something that shouldn't exist in this world."

He smirked to himself; he was a lot better at this than he thought.

As far as battles of words went, Xion was an amateur even worse than him. His words cut deep into her chest, twisting and rending. Her stomach sank down to her knees and she fought the urge to cry. Oh, how she wanted to. Nothing would feel better than to just break down in tears.

"N-No...that's not true..." she whimpered, holding her hands on her head. Her fingers curled into her hair, tugging on it as if the pain would bring her back to reality. "I'm not just a doll...you, Saïx, Xemnas...it's all lies."

Subconsciously her hand again moved to her breast, where a normal person might feel a heartbeat. As was common all the other times she'd made the gesture, there was only stillness in her chest. Warmth, but no sign of life.

She nearly lost it as hot tears strolled down her cheeks. Xion laughed shakily.

"S-See...I'm more than a puppet. How can I cry if...if I'm not..."

The dark-haired girl watched the pummeling with wide eyes. She remembered seeing the blonde before from the Heartless battle. She was strong, she noted. Especially to lay the big silver-haired lummox flat on the pavement.

Xion jumped a bit as she removed her tears for her. They were soon replaced as she bowed her head. She could only stammer out a small "thank you" before hiding her face behind gloved hands.

There were good people in the world, it seemed. So many of them. First Miss Aeris, then Red, and now this nice young lady and the blue-haired man inside. The world wasn't like The Organization.

"I'm sorry."
