Day 2 part two

Zexion chuckled.  "I used to think that, too, when I first joined the Organization.  But after a while, I got used to it." he looked up at the ceiling and gave a half-smile.  "Oh, by the way, Saix didn't tell me your name... What is it?  Besides XV."

"I'm... Xelia." I murmured, my lip quivering.

"Xelia... that's cool." Zexion commented, saying my name as if he was trying it on for size.

"Anyway, what's this mission crap that we have to do today?" I asked, looking up at him brightly.

"We have to go to Twilight Town.  Damn, I gotta teach you to use your weapon, don't I?  Shit." Zexion spat.

"I have a weapon?!" I questioned, pride swelling inside of me.

"Yup.  Dunno what it is, but it's something." he shurged, nudging my shoulder so I would keep walking.

Zexion and I entered the grey room briskly.  I took in all the people dressed like me, sitting on couches.  All of them appeared to be male, except for a short girl with black hair and a woman with sleak blonde hair that almost looked like... antenae?  Strange hair choice, but it's not my place to tell her otherwise.  I ignored the people in the room, who stared after us expectantly.

"So, Saix, I got XV.  Now, can we go?" Zexion asked a blue-haired man impatiently.  The man had a red "X" between his eyes.

"You may." the man, Saix, said, summoning a portal with a flick of his wrist.  He nodded curtly.

Zexion stepped towards the portal, and beckoned for me to come with him.  I timidly inched foward to the swirling portal.  The pattern was almost making me sick.  Eyes shut tight, I walked into the vortex.

As quickly as I stepped into the portal, I was out.  I looked down at my gloved hands, looked at my boots, and touched my pallid face.  I was still in one piece.

"Whoa, awesome!" I exclaimed like a little girl.

"Uh-huh, sure..." Zexion said, brushing off himself with a tiny smile on his face.  "Anywho, did you see how Saix summonded that portal?"

I bobbed my head, searching his face.

"That's how you summon your weapon.  Want to try?  All you gotta do is, uh, invison a weapon in your mind, and all of your favorite things, then turn your wrist.  Your weapon should then appear in your grasp."

"See?" he mumbled as a book with symbols etched into the cover apprarated into his hand.

"You fight with a book?  How the hell do you manage to do that?!" I giggled.

"Shut up before I make you see things no one should ever see." Zexion threatened.

"Alright, alright." I muttered, the smile fading from my face.  "I guess I'll try to summon my stupid weapon..."

I flicked my wrist, concentrating hard on things the I liked to go along with something to fight with.  A burst of light came from the palm of my hand.

"Holy shit..." I gasped, dropping the magnificent instrument that had I had conjured.  It was a dark wood sythe that curved into a curl at the bottom.  The long blade was silver, with images of birds in flight, tall trees, and butterflies fighting their way out of their coccons vainly carved into the metal.  Green, lush vines hung off of the sythe.  The weapon was beautiful.

"Don't fucking drop it!" Zexion barked, picking up the sythe and handing it back to me.  I held it, not believing a weapon so awesome could be in my possession. 

"Well, you certaintly don't see this everyday." I remarked, examining the sharp blade.

"Yeah... Most humans don't see us Nobodies running around everyday, either." Zexion said.

"Nobody?  How am I a nobody, you ass!" I yelled in Zexion's face.

"No, no, we're just called Nobodies 'cause we don't have hearts." he sighed.  "To get our hearts back, we have to collect Kingdom Hearts."

"What the hell is Kingdom Hearts?" I asked, feeling embarassed about yelling at Zexion.

"There are these monsters that steal hearts, and we have to defeat all of them to get our hearts back; to form Kingdom Hearts."

"Oh..."

"Yup."

Silence hung in the air.  Which was weird, because we were in a city.  There should have been people milling about, but there wasn't.  But that was okay, because we ran into some monsters and Zexion showed me how to fight them.  As we fought, he seemed to lighten up a little.  If Zexion was an ice cube, he would have been nothing but a puddle by the end of the mission.  I actually saw him laugh by right before we went back to to the castle.

As we entered the castle, Zexion told me that I had done a good job fighting the monsters, which were callled Heartlessess.  I blushed like mad and thanked him.  He smiled and headed back to his room.  I walked to my own bedroom, feeling like I was walking on air.

Is it possible to have a crush on someone if you don't have a heart?
