A girl's night out [Castle Oblivion - COMPLETE]

Nov 03, 2006 20:00

Now that she had a taste for the world outside, Naminé could say for certain that she found the Castle fairly boring. Zexion and Xigbar, she assumed, had duties to attend to. And she had failed rather spectaculary at being friendly towards River. The witch did feel guilty for the distress she made the other girl go through - so much for a warm ( Read more... )

Shadows always had the habit of following the one that creates it, and yet the halls of Castle Oblivion were unnaturally bright, causing those natural shades of darkness to shy away into the darker corridors. But sometimes darkness must learn to embrace the light, and so one black mass in particular did so; a gloved hand sneaking over the blonde’s shoulder, fingers tangling into those soft strands.

The hand in particular belonged to someone that wasn't new to the smaller Nobody, but it was far from the reassuring grip of Riku's. It was calmer, apathetic, yet with a grip that could easily break her shoulder if desired. Fortunately that hand remained docile, gently goading Naminé to turn and face its owner.

And there to meet her were that lethargic expression of Axel's, green eyes dulled into that same mask that the blond had learned to embrace for those long four years.

"Naminé" The redhead finally mouthed out in a tone that expected the girl to explain her absence.

Naminé jumped at the sudden touch, nearly whirling around, eyes half-mad with glee at the hope that the touch was Riku's. Yet she already knew it wasn't, and her hopes were crushed instantly at the sight of fiery red hair and sharp green eyes.

But then she smiled. Well, Axel was better than no company at all. The way he spoke implied that he wanted some explanation. She had the sinking feeling that she had to tell Axel... what happened to Riku... or perhaps what happened to this entire castle.

"... Yes?" She replied, not struggling against Axel at all. On the contrary, she seemed rather comfortable with being interrogated. Almost.

Despite Naminé's cooperation Axel still felt the need to hold onto her shoulder, giving her a serious look despite her efforts to be friendly.

"Where have you been?" Only someone so arrogant can dismiss the length of time the blond had been missing, which the redhead definitely wasn't. But what struck his seemingly apathetic stature even more was the fact that the girl was alone. And that either meant that Riku had dropped her off, or the Nobody arrived back to Castle Oblivion on her own accord.

And as much as the latter looked to be unlikely, the redhead already suspected that Riku was still out there. And the Superior wasn't going to be so thrilled about this if the silver haired man prolonged his absence even more.

She knew he was going to ask that question. And she dreaded giving him the answer. But Naminé knew she could trust Axel. She thought so, anyway. Would he turn her over to the Superior if she told him it was her fault Riku was missing?

"... I was at Hollow Bastion," She answered truthfully, and she was willing to stop there, except the redhead would only pry her for more answers. How? Why? "When Riku... tried to take me back here, something went wrong. He couldn't control the corrider of darkness, and he pushed me off into the darkness. I landed in Hollow Bastion."

She lowered her head, almost as if waiting for an axe to fall.

"It was my fault... that we got seperated."
