Chapter 9: Who Are They?
She sighed as Maximum walked out of the portal. When she looked up she was amazed at where she ended up. She wanted to be in a place which would be calm, relaxing and small.
The red haired nobody looked around. It was sunny and the sky was blue without a cloud in the sky. She was on this mini island, connected to another which has palm trees and silky white sand. The island she was on had a leaning tree with these star shaped fruit. Max felt like, somehow, she was connected to these islands, but didn't know how. She brushed it off instantly and ran a hand through her hair with yet another sigh. She sat on the leaning tree.
'I really shouldn't have done that; it was really…Larxene like!' She twisted her face with disgust. But then it was as if she saw something in front of her eyes. It looked like a memory right in front of her, but she was unsure if it was hers or not.
There was a girl and two boys. The girl was being held by one of the boys and both of them were blushing bright. The silver-headed boy was covering his mouth to keep himself from laughing. She jumped off the tree and walked to the other two. As she got closer, another memory went through her mind.
"Please... Don't forget me!" She hugged him and laid her head down on his chest. "Even after I'm gone, I'll live forever... inside your heart, right?"
He whimpered as tears fell down his face but he still nodded, "I couldn't... forget you! I love you, M_."
She sighed, "I've been waiting for those words from you. I love you very much, S_. I always have and always will."
A tear fell down her cheek unknowingly and she smiled. 'Aww...'
"M_, what's gonna-?"
"Shh..." She smiled and lifted her head up, looking at him. She cupped his cheek and wiped the tears with her thumb. He sadly smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned in and she leaned in as well. Her pink lips met his lips and their eyes closed.
Max smile disappeared, 'She's lucky enough to get a kiss... While a certain someone had to ruin mine!' the redhead huffed and rolled her eyes. 'She better not get in the way!'
Axel came onto the island through a portal and found his sister. "Hey Sis! You know that was really rude of you to storm out like that!" He scolded but she didn't listen to him, it was as if she didn't know he was there.
'What if, me and Roxas move away?' She felt like there was a stone in her throat.
"Maximum?!" Axel asked annoyed but she didn't turn around. This worried the pyro. "Maximum?" He used a softer tone and said her name again, this time more hesitant.
'What if…' Her eyes widened and brimmed with tears. '…What if, Roxas…' Max sniffed and gripped onto her coat, where her 'heart' was. '….falls in love with no. XVI?' The red haired nobody tripped over a rock and fell into the water.
Slowly, she was sinking into the water and turned around so that she could face the surface of the water. She could still see the bright sun; she blinked and breathed out as the bubbles came out of her mouth. She sniffed and felt the water going into her nose. She closed her green eyes and fell into the darkness.
Max opened her eyes only a bit. Through her vision she could see that she was in her room. She opened her eyes even more and saw Roxas. He looked worried and sad. The golden haired nobody was holding her hand gripping onto it as if pleading for her to wake up. She held his hand too and he looked at her. His eyes widened with relief. "Max, you're finally awake!" He helped her sit up and she stared at him.
"How long have I been sleeping?" She asked curiously and he looked down.
"Three days." He mumbled and she gasped.
"I've been unconscious for three days?!" Max exclaimed.
"I was worried that you wouldn't wake up, Max." He wrapped his arms around her and her face was buried into the crook of his neck. "Maximum…" He whispered and she hugged him back.
"I'm okay, Roxas." She said and he pulled away from her. "What happened when I was asleep?"
"Well, I went to go fight some heartless with Axel." She smiled.
"Did you get your Keyblade yet?" He nodded at this. "That's good."
"Oh yeah, superior said he wanted to see you when you wake up. Do you want me to help you get to his room?" He asked and she shook her head.
"I'll be fine, thanks." Roxas smiled at this and blushed. She leaned closer to him and kissed his cheek. She pulled away and tried to get up and noticed something. "Roxas, you can let go of my hand now." She mumbled and he let go. She giggled at this and went through a portal.
She stood outside Xemnas' room and took a deep breathe. Max knocked on his door.
"Come in no. XIV." He said unemotionally and she opened the door. The red haired nobody entered the room and closed the door behind her. "Sit." He ordered her like a dog and she gulped and sat down opposite him.
"You wanted to see me, superior?" She squeaked.
"Why did you storm out rudely when you met with no. XVI for the first time?" He asked through his teeth.
"Um…"
"Do not slur, answer my question!" He barked and she looked at the ground. "Look at me when I am speaking to you." Slowly, she looked up at him, at his cold orange eyes filled with anger. Slowly, her green eyes reflected his emotions as well.
"I don't like her. No, let me correct myself, I hate her!" She growled.
"May I ask why?" He asked.
"Personal reasons." She muttered. "But may I ask why she's here? We already have 15 people in this Organisation, why do we need one more?" Max asked a very valid question.
"You have a point there no. XIV. But, no. XVI is chosen by the Keyblade as well. And, do you remember when you told me about Larxene and Marluxia's plan to overthrow the Organisation?" She crossed her legs and nodded. "Well, no. XI and no. XII and 3 others who are suspicious will be sent to Castle Oblivion to be…dealt with." She smirked at this and clasped her hands together. "No. XIV, I would like to thank you again." She shook her head.
"Not at all, I didn't do this for myself. I wanted to tell you because I knew that if I didn't, we would all suffer. I strongly believe that you and only you can be our superior and no one else." He nodded at this.
"Max, you and Saïx are two of the most loyal members in this Organisation. I can always count on you both." She smirked at this and stood up. She placed a hand onto her chest and bowed.
"I will always be at your service superior. May I take a leave, now?" He nodded at this. "Thank you." She said and left the room.
