KH: The Fate of the Crystal and Blade (Private with Shadow King)

[Ad-Sd-ChibiGirl]

Arlia smiled warmly at him in a motherly way. BEfore anything else could happen, Kyra's pack came to her.

"It is almost time, please come with us" they said, she nodded knowing what they meant, but turned back to Orlix.

"We can watch the Boy for you as you reherse" one offered, pulling down his mask, it was a man with green hair, he had Lizard like eyes but smiled warmly at Orlix in a friendly matter.

"You understand that she has to reherse for the dance?" he asked.

--

Kyra was rather amazed that Vexen was able to dance so fluently. And by the looks of it, so was Demyx and Xion.

"Since when could he dance?" she asked.

"Vexen likes to study culture, I'm not too surprised to be honest" Zexion said. The dance ended in a Tango like way with Vexen holding Kyra close to the ground, their faces almost touching. She went red in the face. There was a sound of bells suddenly and everyone looked up to the source, White birds flew around with bells attatched to their talons.

"The Ceremony is about to begin" Kyra said.

[shadow king]

Orlix pouted slightly as Arlia left but nodded to the man, understanding that she had to rehearse. he felt almost completely alone the moment she left, it almost ore him apart to have to not be with her, but he manned up a little and walked over to the man, looking up into his lizard like eyes with his now brighter glowing ones.

Much like Arlia did all of the time he gave the man a questioning look about the ringing sound he hear, pointing to the birds and then repeating the look while sucking the pink pacifier he had since returned to his mouth.

----------------------------------

Though Kyra was blushing deeply at the finishing move of the dance Vexen was not. He had approached the dance as the cold academic he was. When he brought he upright again he kissed her hand as was customary at the end of certain dances and then turned to Xion, Zexion and Demyx.

"It is best that I go gather them up so that we don;t all get separated while we're here." he stated, walking over to the two love birds and the giddy water manipulator. "Come on, we should go and follow Kyra so we don't get lost." he stated walking back over to Kyra with the three of them and Demyx's dance partner in toe.

The pink haired cat girl seemed to have taken a liking to Demyx as it were. She seemed to be clinging onto him much like Orlix did to Arlia.

[Ad-Sd-ChibiGirl]

(Vexen shall never live this down... Ever)

He chuckled at Orlix and put a hand on his head, ruffling his hair.

"That, my friend is to tell the village that the ceremony will be starting soon" he said. He turned to the rest of the pack.

"Come on, we have to finish the stage" he said, turning to Orlix he spoke.

"Please do follow us" he said.

--

Kyra couldn't even speak, her whole face red. She lead them to a large Area that seemed empty, there was a large stage with a Dark blue Rock with shining crystals in it. She saw her pack arriving to the stage. The Lizard eyed demon saw her and waved.

"It's almost done Kyra! Just a few more boards and we'll be good to go!"

"Did you get the Aplifier rocks?" she asked them. He did a thumbs up. She smiled.

"Good, I should see if Reia is ready yet" she said. As if on time, a small hand tugged at Vexen's sash. Looking down it was Kyra looking up at him.

[shadow king]

Orlix followed the lizard eyed man and the rest of his pack to the stage area. He seemed to have taken an immediate liking to he man. In fact even though he saw the group of his friends he didn't leave the man's side, simply waving and following the man around like a toddler chasing after his daddy.

This may not have been the best time, but the drink that he had had earlier had finally made it;s way through his system after all the walking and fun he had. An audible sound of a stream of liquid hitting fabric sounded from his pants. Usually this would have been dulled out by his cloak to the point where it would take Arlias' hearing to catch it, but it was a pretty loud sound without it.

He felt the warmth spread differently than it did with the disposables. Though it felt different he liked the feeling, possibly more than that of the disposables that Arlia had put him in before.

-----------------------------------

Vexen looked down at Reia who had tugged on his sash.

[Ad-Sd-ChibiGirl]

The pack acted like they hadn't heard it, sparring him any humiation. The Green haired demon climbed up a rope and then cut something, swining him across the stage where he landed on a rock and tied the rope there.

"Almost done" he said.

--

Kyra saw Reia.

"Something wrong?" she asked, Reia nodded her head a little.

"I'm not feeling good..." she said in her small voice. Kyra smiled a little at her and knelt down.

"Well, maybe it's because you're nervous" she said in a soft tone. Reia gulped.

"Wh-What if they don't like me? What if they throw rocks at me like the other kids do?" she seemed to start to panic, and one could feel it get a little colder around them.

"Jeeze Vexen, tone down the A.C will ya?" Demyx said to him, not knowing it wasn't him.

[shadow king]

Orlix didn't follow the man up the tree, but instead just plopped down on his squishy diapered but and sucked his pacifier, waiting for everything to be set to go so he could see what was going to happen.

Now, as the ceremony grew closer, one of his eyes was glowing brighter than the other, which seemed to be starting to change color, turning a lighter gold, closer to silver and not glowing quite as much as before.

Orlix didn't mid being in the wet diaper, but he kind of wish that he had mommy there to hide behind because it had indeed been humiliating to hear that sound being so loud. He was blushing immensely with his head down as to once again try not to gain any more attention than he already did.

-----------------------------------

Vexen gave Demyx a death stare that would have frozen hell over. "Demyx you fool, I'm not the one doing it." he stated with venom in his words

[Ad-Sd-ChibiGirl]

"Yeaaaaah, Did I forget to mention that the old lady who gave Reia her Demonic blood was a snow Lepord Demon?" Kyra asked awkwardly. She rubbed the back of her head.

"So she has control over ice... And by control I mean she doesn't know how to use it" she explained. She could see people coming in slowly, taking Reia's hand, she lead her to the back stage, leaving them there. Demyx turned to Vexen who looked to be thinking.

--

*Back with the rest of the Organization*

For his first time playing, Kior wasn't doing half bad. Larxene and Namine had been dressing Arelia up all day and she didn't seem bothered by it at all. However, when the two weren't looking, she crawled off again. She was going through the halls when she bumped into something. She shook her head and looked up to see a man with pink hair. She looked up at him curiously.

[shadow king]

Zexion and Xion were off in there own little world, chatting about how this had been an odd but interesting day so far.

--------------------------------------------------

Marluxia looked down at what had bumped into him to see it was a baby girl. He picked her up by the back of her little dress and held her to his face to get a good look. He saw a strong resemblance to Arlia and thought like someone else had for only the slightest moment that Vexen must have finally found the fountain of youth and was doing tests with it.

By 'wasn't doing half bad' he had beat out Luxord and Xigbar leaving only Xaldin, who was on the loosing end of the battle.

[Ad-Sd-ChibiGirl]

I never knew Demons were so... friendly!" she stated.

"They're nothing like how the books describe them" Zexion said as some passed by with polite "Hellos"

"What do you think Vexen's thinking about?" she asked.

"Never can tell with him" the lights began to dim down till there was a dark blue glow on the stage. Kyra walked onto the stage and claps could be heard, she bowed.

"Dear Family and friends, I welcome you all to the Festival of Life!" she said and the crowed Cheered. She waited for it to die down.

"This past year, we lost many great demons who made their mark amoung our village, some died of Natural Causes, and others Died in the line of battle! Tonight, we are here to honor their memory with our Ceremony! And wish them safe Voyage to the Sky Warrior!" Another applause.

"The First thing we have for you is our own little Ice Princess herself, please give a warm welcome to Reia!" The little Girl walked shyly onto the stage. She waved to the crowd.

"H-Hello" she said getting many "Awwws" from the crowd which only made her blush deeper. Kyra handed her the Amplifier rock.

"Good luck kid" she said as a light was only on the 8 year old now.

"Wait... They're having her sing!?" Xion asked surprised.

--

"I dun even know what I'm doing..." Kior said, Xigbar and Luxord were both in their own little emo Corner.

"And that's the sad part TT____TT " Xigbar stated.

--

Arelia looked at Marluxia with a very odd look before.

"Achoo!~" she sneezed and blue fire shot out... At his face. Roxas happened to be walking by and saw that and had to keep himself from laughing out loud. He slapped himself in the mouth and breathed heavilly.

[shadow king]

Orlix simply applauded when everyone else did and watched the small girl take the stage. He hadn't known tat she was going to be in the show because he had separated from the rest of the group, but he wasn't surprised either, just enjoying what was going on.

His yes were continuing to shift, the second eye also starting to dim and turn more silver than gold. Only someone else would be able to see though, mainly because he had nothing reflective to look at and he had no idea what was happening with them at all.

----------------------------------------------------

Xaldin was now in a life and death style battle of cards with a kid that he assumed was around five years old. And he was about to be ended as Kior got the one card he needed and finished wiping out all three of the nobodies. He took all of the money on the table and shoved it in what pockets he had, smiling widely at Xaldin, who joined the other two in being depressed.

--------------------------------

After getting fire blown on his face Marluxia figured out that this girl was definitely not Arlia, however, she was strong for her age, to have the guts to blow fire in his face. And because of this Marluxia seemed to take a liking to the girl, placing her on his shoulders and walking away.
