Chapter 1
by hanyou-samurai
I ran my hands through Zexion's soft hair as the gummi ship continued on. Zexion had been sitting by me, and had fallen asleep, head falling to my lap. I am a member of Organization XIII. I am number XIV. Although I'm number XIV, it's still called Organization XIII.
Anyway, we were in a gummi ship, heading to our next stakeout. Xemnas had sent Zexion and me together. Marluxia was driving us. I ran my hand through his hair again. He shifted slightly in my lap. I noticed that he was shivering, so I grabbed a blanket on the other side of me and put it on him. He snuggled closer to me.
I forgot to introduce myself, sorry. My name is Samantha, Sam, "The Tejina Mizu," or "The Magical Water." Most just call me the water mage though. I'm the newest addition. I remember nothing of my previous life. My weapons are two swords, and, of course, my magic. Xemnas usually pairs me with Zexion, perhaps because he isn't that good at fighting, and he's "The Cloaked Schemer," and I'm good at fighting. Xemnas thinks that I can't think, or plan. He has no idea that Zexion and I come up with theories and plans together.
"We're almost there," said Marluxia from the divers seat. I gently shook Zexion.
"Zexion," I called softly. "Wake up Zexion. We're almost there." Zexion's eyes slowly opened, and he sat up, the blanket falling off his shoulders.
"Sorry. Did you put that on?" he asked while stretching and rubbing his eyes. I nodded. "Thank you." He rubbed his hand through his untidy hair. When he put his hand down, it was still messy. I smiled slightly, and reached up to fix it. He flinched away, but I continued nonetheless.
After I fixed his hair, my hand unintentionally lingered for a few seconds before I let it drop back to my lap. Zexion opened his mouth to say something, but Marluxia stopped the gummi ship.
"We're here. Get out," he called without turning around.
"Thanks for the ride Marluxia," I said as we left. Marluxia nodded and left.
We looked around, trying to figure out where we were. Xemnas hadn't told us. I suddenly realized that I knew where we were.
"These are the Destiny Islands," I said, still looking around. I glanced at Zexion and caught him looking at me with a surprised expression on his face.
"How do you know?" he asked, trying to find a good observation point.
"I don't know. I just recognize it. There's a cave over there, behind those bushes." I pointed. Zexion checked. There was a cave. He gave me the same surprised look. I blushed and looked down.
"So, do we know who we're watching?" I asked him, still looking down.
"No, Xemnas didn't tell me, so I'm assuming we're just checking this place out." I nodded.
"I am going to find us a place to stay, okay?"
"Why?" asked Zexion.
"I still have bruises from sleeping on the ground last time." Zexion laughed. I smiled. I was the only one who could make Zexion laugh, and I loved doing it. I know they say that Nobodies can't love, but I love Zexion.
"Okay, where do you suggest we go?"
"First, we should change out of these clothes. We stand out too much."
Zexion nodded. "We should use the cave that you pointed out."
I nodded. "You go first." He nodded and walked inside. A few minutes later, he came walking out. He was wearing black jeans, the same boots he had been wearing before, and a black, long sleeved, button-down shirt. I laughed.
"What?" he asked, looking at me, the pack holding his things slung over his back.
"You are going to be so hot."
"It feels fine right now."
"It gets a lot hotter during the day. After all, it's almost sunset."
Zexion shrugged. "I'll deal with it. You can go change now." I nodded and went inside.
I began to change. After I had gotten into my faded and ripped jeans, I was holding my shirt in my hand, wearing just a bra, ready to put it on, when a boy walked into the cave from the opposite side. We hadn't known there was an entrance there.
I screamed, holding my shirt, trying to hide myself. He yelled too, then ran out. He had been a little older than how old I guessed I was. I immediately regretted screaming. A very human reaction.
Zexion ran in, yelling. "Sam! Are you alright!" he then saw me, still holding my shirt. We both blushed scarlet. I point to where he had come in with my free hand.
"Out!" He nodded, turned, and walked out.
I finished getting dressed, then followed Zexion out of the cave. He looked like he had been trying to calm himself down.
"Why did you scream?" he asked, unintentionally examining my outfit.
"A guy walked in while I was changing."
"Oh." Zexion was still a little red.
"Look. It's sunset," I said, going to stand right by where the waves were coming in from the ocean. Zexion stood beside me, both of us watching the sunset.
"No matter how beautiful or wonderful the day was, every day must come to a close," Zexion said quietly.
"Yes… but then the night begins. A night can be just as beautiful or wonderful as a day can be."
Zexion looked at me, an odd expression on his face. Nobody had ever been able to say anything to that comment. I briefly met his eyes, then I went back to staring at the sunset over the ocean.
I felt Zexion's hand hesitantly brush mine. I smiled, and brushed his hand back. I suddenly felt my small hand gripped in his large, warm one. I started. I hadn't known that somebody's hand could be this warm… this soft. I glanced up at him.
Zexion was still staring at the setting sun. I smiled, and moved closer, gently laying my head on his shoulder. I felt him tense up, but I didn't move away. I knew that if I moved away right then, we could never be like this again. I felt him slowly relax, then his head was resting against mine. We stayed there, watching the sunset, until it was all gone. It grew colder, and we unwillingly parted.
"Let's go find somewhere to stay," he said. I nodded, and led the way to a little inn I remembered.
Okay, that's chapter one. Hope you like it. Don't ask me where this is going, because I have no clue.
