destinystrings | An unlikely visitor

Who: Kairi and OU Xion, possibly room for other castmates later
Where: Castle Departure, morning
Summary: A fairy prank places Xion into Kairi's bed. Unfortunately for Xion, this isn't exactly the best place to be; Kairi has been on the look-out for her since the memory event, and hasn't been able to catch her until now...
Warnings: PG for Disney

[Waking up with someone else in her bed wasn't necessarily unusual for Kairi; both she and Naminé often suffered from nightmares, and would crawl into each others beds at night for the closeness and comfort. So as the redhead begins to emerge from slumber and feel another person next to her, she instinctively cuddles up closer, enjoying the warmth as she tries to soak up the last few minutes of sleep. However, when her eyes finally blink open, she's faced with a head of hair she certainly wasn't expecting: black.]

Xi...on...?

[It's still early, so the most Kairi has in her is a confused murmur, and she slowly pulls away from the other girl to stare down with confusion. That was certainly Xion, and too young to be the one she lived with... what in the world was going on?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Naminé releases her quickly to avoid getting punched in the face, her expression falling.]

Right, I guess the answer is 'nothing'.

[She tries to smile regardless.]

Don't think we won't keep trying, though. If you have questions about who you are, what you are, we're here to answer them. But more importantly, we're here for you if you need us. For anything at all.

[She gestures towards the door.]

That's the way out if you want to go.

Sorry for all the trouble, Xion. I'm still not entirely sure how you got here in the first place, I hope everything doesn't make you want to avoid us.

Have a nice day, okay?

[This is the complete opposite of how she would've wanted this to go, but... can't be helped. Best to let Xion go for now and if she felt like coming back, she would. There's nothing they could do to force the issue, especially if she didn't even remember Naminé. They couldn't bring forth memories that hadn't even been made yet, or hadn't been made by this particular Xion.

One step forward and two steps back.]

[That stings, Naminé. Especially with her defeat back home still fresh on her mind.

She inches towards the door, keeping her eyes locked on the pair of them in case they made any sudden movements.

Once opened, she quickly draws up a Corridor on the other side to get back home. Before she leaves, however, she fixes a glare at Naminé in particular.]

I'm a Nobody, and I'm me.

[Naminé looks right back. Not unkindly, but resolute and unwavering. She told Xion everything before, and she can do it again if need be, even if it's in the role of the antagonist that Xion seems to have meted out for her.]

You're much more than that, Xion. You're very special. Don't ever forget that.

[She considers saying something, her first instinct is to fight, to draw her weapon and attack, but..

Well, they seem to be letting her go. For now, anyways. And at the current moment, she's out numbered in an enclosed space. Not ideal for fighting.

She flees through the portal.]

[Naminé sighs deeply, sweeping her hair over her right shoulder and wringing the locks between her fingers.]

I pushed her too much.

It's alright, I wasn't any better.

[Kairi walks over to her sister and wraps an arm around her shoulders, giving a small squeeze.]

I think the demons are pulling pranks again or something; she woke up in my bed this morning, kind of startled us both.

[Naminé leans into Kairi's side, the tension draining out of her and leaving her tired.]

So that's what it was. And she's jumpy enough as it is... What should we do? After this she's going to be even harder to pin down.

The only person I know of that has any sort of contact with her is Nano... I think I'll leave her a message later to see if she'd be willing to look after Xion for us. There's not much else we can really do...

[Kairi rest her head gently against Naminé's, letting out a deep and worried sigh. She had only just woken up, yet she felt like settling back in for a long nap...]

Would it hurt her if you peeked into her memories? I have absolutely no idea what she knows or doesn't know, and I'm afraid of saying something bad next chance we get. From when Nano and her switched memories, I can at least tell it'd be a bad idea to badmouth the Organization...

Agh, would that be horrible of us? To look into her memories?

If she found out, she would be even angrier with us, especially me. No, it's better if we leave her alone. I remember what happens to her anyways, even though I shouldn't.

[She pauses as she mulls over the memories she has of Xion. Naminé's interactions with Xion during her time with the Organization are limited, but she's glad to actually be able to remember them at all. By all accounts she shouldn't be able to, after Xion returned to Sora. But then, these other worlds like the Facility and Hinoto-Ri are strange; time and space worked differently. Impossible things like remembering Xion and having more than one of any one person in the same place-- Naminé had always attributed it to that.]

If she doesn't know who I am, she hasn't met me to ask about what she is...and if you're right about her and the Organization, that means she's still working for them and hasn't thought about leaving them yet. So for her, it can't be very long after she was created.

She...might not even be close to Roxas or Axel yet.
