Chapter 4:

A Mission and... A Date?

It had been a few days since Xion and Yuki became adjusted to the life of the gang named the '13th'. They spent their time being entertained by the talented satirists; Demyx who always made a fool of himself every now and then. Hung around the red-head Axel and the cute blonde boy, Roxas and simply just talked or watched TV. while eating this type of werid ice cream they had never tasted before. And also, tried to get out of Larxene's way. As for the other members, they were either asleep or would just leave the building whenever they wanted to. They spent their time with no worries whatsoever, but all that would change this evening.

It was a Sunday and just like any other Sunday there was nothing to do. The girls were in their room most of the time getting their wardrobe ready for school tomorrow morning. Xion was'nt really happy about the whole school thing. She really did'nt have any fond memories of that wretched place as neither did Yuki but... She hung up the blue pleaded skirt and looked at the uniform that was hanging in front of her. The school that they were going to attend required uniforms instead of causal clothing because some teenagers were'nt event students there seeing as they would just walk in an out the school as much as they pleased. So they made a rule for the students to wear uniforms.

I wonder if I can go in and out of the school as much as I please. She thought bitterly.

Yuki on the other hand was only concerned about what exactly Larxene told Toru. Ever since they went to go eat burrito's the thought of what Larxene actually said that day wouldn't leaved her. She tried ignoring the thought, but just remembering Larxene's smirk and Toru's wink did'nt help at all. Xion kept nagging her about just going up to Larxene and just ask her herself, of course she just called her crazy.

A knock was heard and in popped a red-head, "Meet me outside when you're ready." he then left. The girls just gave each other confused looks as they headed out the door.

The sun was already setting in and you were able to see a few stars appear in the sky and since fall was coming, the air was a little chilly. Goosebumps covered Xion's body as she and Yuki stepped outside to see a small, vacant, parking lot to see an old beaten jeep. They were able to see Axel's head on the driver's seat signaling them to get in. As they rushed inside they noticed that Demyx and Larxene were in the back so they had to squish themselves to make some room.

The red-head started the engine, which made a roaring sound that made Xion jump alittle. He looked at his review mirror, staring at the girls who held their regular expressions: confusion. He smirked. He thought about actually telling them about where exactly they were going, but for his own amusement he wanted to wait until they got to their destination. He caught a pair of blue eyes glaring at him. Roxas of course, knew what he was thinking and he would'nt let him have it.

Before the young blonde said any thing at all the red-head turned on the stereo as loud as it would go drove away from home.

The whole ride consisted of Axel and Roxas acting like children. Roxas would turn down the volume and Axel would turn it back up. The blondes in the back that kept an eye on the girls would only chuckle/giggle in amusement. Yuki was getting a little annoyed at the behavior and was ready to ask what exactly was going on but thankfully Roxas took it upon himself to say something.

" Damnit Axel! Just tell them!" he said keeping his fingers on the volume turner. Axel sighed and rolled his eyes, "You can be such a joy killer Roxas..." he muttered. "Fine," he looked at the review mirrors and looked at Yuki was just waiting patiently for a response with glaring eyes that seemed to go through your soul. It was like a minuture Larxene...He shook his head trying to get rid of the thought.

"Today, you girls are assigned to your frist mission."

Both girls were speechless. Mission? Why did they need to go to a mission? Maybe they were just playing around, right?

Before they knew it Axel stopped the car, which made Yuki go forward and almost hitting her head agianst the seat that was in front of her. Luckily, Xion got a hold of her.

"Finally." Said the blonde young woman who was already out of the car. The girls climbed out of the jeep noticing that it was already dark outside. "Now, you two be very, very, quiet." It was Demyx who put a finger towards his lips, signaling them to be silent. They nodded their heads in response. The blonde smiled, "Good now follow me and stay close behind." Xion looked around noticing that they were entering some 2-story-building. They made their way up these stairs and walked straight on forward through a hallway while crouching themselves down as they did so. Eventually they stopped and stood in front of what seemed to be a gray-colored door with gold platinum numbers imprinted on the front : 38E.

" Alright now do your thing Roxas. " Axel said handing the boy something. He took whatever the red-head had in his hand and started to…pick the lock? Yuki backed away from them. No way was she going to break in into somebody's house and steal! Sure she's stolen before, but never broke in a house to get what she needed. "Ay,Yuki, you paying attention?" she snapped out of her thoughts once she heard Axel's voice. He let out a sigh as he gave her a somewhat irritated face, " Pay attention, both you and Xion will be our bodyguards for tonight. Once Roxas opens the door we're gonna go inside and in the mean time you two will be on the lookout; see if you see anyone suspicous just do a low whistle." the red-head gave the girls a little demenstration before Roxas sucsessfully opened the door.

"We're in." even though they were in dark, Xion was still able to see his amazing smirk. One by one the 13th members entered the room but before Axel had the chance to step in and do his work, he felt a tugging on his arm. It was Yuki who was looking at him with concerned eyes. "What if you guys don't hear us?" she was like a little girl, no wait, she was a little girl. A little girl who somehow was able to live on the streets for how long? He still found it amazing that she was still alive. He smirked at her as he gaver her his reply, "Don't worry. Larxene has an amazing hearing ablilty, she'll be able to hear it."

He jerked his arm away from her leaving the girl uncertain.

About at least a few good 10 minutes had passed since they entered the apartment and Yuki and Xion were completely bored out of their minds. Xion sat on the ground indian-style looking at the ground staring off into space while Yuki stood in next to door frame, her arms crossing her chest. She actually wished she was in there with the rest of the other members looking for who-knows-what instead of just standing there. She wondered what exactly they were looking for. Axel never did say...maybe they were stealing food? Electronics? Jewlery?

Who knows, but she was curious about though. She sighed and looked at the dark sky before her.

It was a moonless sky and you were barely able to see the stars shining if it were'nt for all the street lights. She let out a sigh, she would have to wakeup early tomorrow all because her so called 'Boss' made her and her best friend enter school. All because it was for her own good. Bull.

"Yuki."

The brown-eyed-girl stared down at her friend, " Yeah, what's up?"

" I think, I just heard footsteps." Yuki stared at her in shock as she stopped leaning against the frame of the door and stood up, already making a stance.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Xion queitly stood up as she focused her hearing on the steps.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Sweat started to form under Yuki's bangs; she noticed just how extremly warm her body was getting.

"Oh, so this is your crib. It's pretty nice."

"Yeah. It's not enough, but let me show you my room. You'll probably be more impressed in there."

"Mmm...I think that's a great idea..."

Kisses were heard as so were a few moans here and there followed by the sound of a door slamming. Both girls slid onto the ground and let out a sigh of relief, grateful it was someone else a floor above them. Pretty soon another door slam was heard which just freaked the girls making them jump. "Alright girls, mission complete, now lets leave before someone notices us."

The girls nodded in agreement as they quickly stood up and left the building and ran straight towards Axel's jeep. "Well, are'nt we just anxious about going home." The emerald green eyed man said closing his door. "But," the next thing that came out of his mouth just really hit the girls, "this was just a warm-up. For sure, the next mission going to be more...eventful for you two." They didn't like his tone of voice when he announced that.

The rest of the ride was filled with yelling and heavy metal music booming out from Axel's speakers. They arrived at their so called "Home" (( or how Yuki now see's it, the headquarters. )). They entered the living room with Larxene threating Demyx about trying to touch her breats or something of the sort. Xig-well Xiggy (( as Xion remembers since that's how Demyx called that the last time she saw him. And the fact she did'nt quite remember his name either.)) muttered something under his breath as he sat there on the couch, his arms spreading around the sofa. To Xion the mumbling sounded like, 'Oh, they just had to come and ruin or peace.' which just made her giggle, seeing that Luxord and Zexion had the same facial experssion as well imprinted on their faces.

" Hey shouldn't you kids be getting ready for school tomorrow?" Xiggy asked looking at the teenagers as they made themselves comfortable sitting on the couch or sitting on the floor. Larxene gave out a giggle, " Like we would get ready for something that's nothing but a waste of time. Please Xigbar, you should know by now that we don't give a shit about that wreched place."

"Zexion here actually see-" he was rudely interupted by the young woman, "That's because it's Zexion. The nerd of this lame ass gang." Zexion really did'nt respond to the comment, the young boy just simply stared at the T. V screen in front of him. Xigbar was actually waiting for the boy to respond back but once he noticed that he wouldn't say a thing he decided to say something to the boy. "Ay, are you going to let her talk about you that way kid?"

The teenage boy just sat there queitly and looked at Xiggy, " Now, why should anything that comes out of that demon's mouth get to me? Her words mean nothing. " a few of the men snickered here and there as Xion and Yuki made their way towards their room before the flaxen girl exploded." Should we get our clothes ready for tomorrow?" the short-black-haired girl asked her best friend. Her eyes told Yuki that she really did not want to go at all. But, what could they do? If they wanted to stay they had to follow their rules and they really did'nt want to go back out in the streets. Yuki looked at Xion with a sympathic face, "Yeah...Let's get out our clothes."

Once they folded and ironed their clothes (( lucky for them there was already an ironing board and an iron there hidden in the closet )) a knock was heard at the door. Xion not really thinking about asking who was there just said to come in. "Well, aren't we ready to go to school?" just hearing that childish, yet, devilsh voice annoyed the hell out of Yuki. Xion looked at the blonde girl in front of her wondering as to why would she be here anyway?

"Umm...is there something wrong Larxene?"

The blonde's green eyes widen and responded, " What? Just because I'm here you jump to conclusions that there is something wrong. How rude. Can't I just come inside and visit my now new roomates?"

The girls did'nt really know what else to say, so they just kept their eyes on her for anything suspicous. She looked at her fingernails in intrest as she looked at Yuki, " I just came by to tell you about your date, Yuki." she said with a smirk forming upon her pink lips. Yuki was in complete shock as to when did she arrange a date for her and why would she do such a thing?

" Date...? Since when do I have a date?"

" Don't you remember? Toru of course, he's going to meet you up at Clover's Cafe, friday night, 7'o clock."

Yuki just stared at her completely shocked at what this girl just said. Why in the world would she do that? She did'nt even know the guy! " What!" her voice was furious which only made the blonde girl's smirk grow wider.

"Why would you do that?! I don't even know the guy, yet you go and tell him that I'll go out with him on friday?"

The blonde still held that devilsh smirk on her face as she started swaying her finger back and forth, signaling that's not how it went. " Nuh uh, see, he's the one who planned this out. I said nothing. All I did was tell him that you were intrested in him, that was all." Yuki furried her brows and scrunched her nose in disgust. Larxene found this movement cute and could'nt help but let out a giggle. "Aw, your so cute when you get mad Yuki." she cooed.

' You won't think it's so cute once I rip your freakin' face of!' Yuki thought trying to hold back her anger from taking over her. " Besides, you wanted to know wether he was in a relationship or not, right? Well, here's your chance to be with him. He's really excited about this date y'know. I think he might even go and buy himself a suit just to look nice for you." she giggled once more as she made her way out the door with a lazy wave, the smirk still pasted on her face. Once she left Yuki fell flat-faced on the bed, grabbed the pillow and screamed into it.

Luckly for Xion she only lasted about a minute and soon all was silent. She sat next her best friends body, looking at her not knowing what to say. Yuki turned over and stared at the ceiling before her. "I might as well go. I mean, it would be messed up if I would just call it off once I met him or not showing up at all."

"Well, it is until friday. You can still call it off." Xion said.

"That's true, but still, I'll feel guilty if I do that. Besides, who knows. Maybe me and him will become close friends..." she looked at Xion who in return gave her look that read 'I don't think that's gonna happen.' look.

Yuki just sighed in defeat as she decided to at least go and meet the guy. What harm could he- ok maybe he could do some harm, but she's able to defend for herself. Right?

"Ugghh! I don't want to think about this anymore!" She with drew the sheets and pulled them over her. Xion just chuckled as she too did the same as sleep started to over power the two girls.
