*confetti*
Zomg guys. It's here!! D:
Everyone party like the crazy FS fans you are!!
Chapter 27~* (AAH OMG. ONLY 27?!)
The room was deathly silent as they tried to realize what had just happened. Demyx was still trying to focus his vision from the deathly bright light that had burst through the room. Zexion was frozen, looking completely shocked for once. Larxene was still held to Axel tightly, her eyes locked on Taro, who was still sprawled on the ground, not moving.
Ryu was first to make a move as she ran to kneel by Taro’s side, tears already falling down her cheeks. She uttered his name pleadingly while trembling, but he didn’t move.
“Is he..dead?” asked Larxene in a barely audible whisper in Axel’s ear. The pyro didn’t respond. His eyes were still locked on Taro. He wasn’t sure what to do, or what to think.
As if answering her question, a slight wince and a groan coming from the fallen Seeker made all of them silently gasp. Ryu’s heart almost stopped as she saw those familiar lightning blue eyes flutter open, causing her to tighten her hold on him almost instinctively.
“Taro!” she breathed, a fresh batch of tears starting to stream down her cheeks again. Taro blinked and realized who the crying girl holding him was, and immediately sat up, though albeit shakily.
“Ryu...what happened?” he said hoarsely, looking around at the baffled Ex-organization members in bewilderment. Looking at the gashes and cuts all over him he started to remember, but he wanted to hear it from her to confirm it.
“Y-you defeated him. Xagurion.” she said breathlessly, “I thought you died along with him.”
Taro studied her features and felt guilty for putting her through so much stress, but then knowing that his cruel father was finally gone, relief spread through him. It was finally over, and knowing so sent a whole new wave of energy through him. Looking at her now, he realized he probably never would have found the strength to win at all, but instead of saying so, he pulled her towards him and kissed her softly, smiling as much as he could while doing so.
“Thanks.” he said with a grin after pulling away, making her startled expression soften and return his sweet favor.
Axel, now grinning, couldn’t help but feel happy for the guy, as annoying as he was. Maybe not all bad guys were asses after all. Turning to Larxene, who was beaming, he let his own arms wrap around her and kissed her, only to be tackled by Demyx.
“We did it!” he cried, happy as usual, his childish grin getting both Axel and Larxene to smile back. Zexion joined them, nodding to Axel with a knowing smirk. They had all missed the island. All the world traveling and psychotic penguins had driven Axel to bad homesickness.
The four walked together towards the Seekers, who were now on their feet, Taro not even showing signs of the grueling battle that had occurred minutes ago.
“So, Daddy’s boy.” smirked Axel as they approached them. “What’re you gonna do now?”
Taro smirked back, shaking his silver hair from his eyes. “I dunno. Maybe I’ll take over your island or something.” he shrugged, he and Ryu suppressing a laugh from Axel’s incredulous expression.
“Relax. If you work for me I
might let you rent a room or something.” he laughed and had to start running for the door from the thunderstruck Axel, the whole room erupting in laughter.
“So.. Whaddaya think I should tell Roxas when we get back?” asked Demyx as he raised an eyebrow towards Zexion.
Zexion merely smiled. "I say we keep it quiet."
The End~*
Omg! *sobs* I can't believe it. So happy in a sad way. Dx I can't believe this. Thank you all for being such amazing fans. I love you guys. <333
This probably won't be the last fic I make on here. But until then, I'm just a PM away.
