Not my kind of town

[A new Kairi appears. This one's around twenty four, with her hair in a braid, she's also packing some firepower. She stops where she is and looks around.]

This is so not Guilty Pleasures.

[was wandering to the kitchen, lithe body covered from head to toe, crimson hair hiding the scarred right side of his face]

...Kairi?

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She looked at him for a moment, wondering how he knew her name.]

Yea? Do I know you?

[scarredwonder.livejournal.com]

[blinks those icy blue eyes, wondering if he had somehow made a mistake. but this Kairi smelled like his, and wore that braid just like his...]

You should.

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She frowned.]

If I do, I'm sorry. I don't remember you. Do you work for Nickolaos?

[scarredwonder.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

Most definitely not. You killed her, Kairi. I am my own master, second in command to your Jean-Claude.

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She frowned.]

I don't know a Jean-Claude. I was supposed to meet the owner of Guilty Pleasures today, and Nickolaos is alive, or was the last time I saw her.

[scarredwonder.livejournal.com]

Jean-Claude owns the club, Kairi. He's how you met me.

[something's not right here... she shouldn't be this oblivious]

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She canted her head to the side.]

And you are?

[scarredwonder.livejournal.com]

Axel.

[brushes the hair back from the scarred half of his face]

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She looked but didn't show a reaction. It really didn't matter to her. He was still sexy as hell. And those eyes, they were fierce. The attention he had on her, well she wasn't adverse to reacting to it, even if he was a vampire.]

Well, you already know I'm Kairi. It's nice to meet you, Axel.

[it occurred to him that he could easily roll her, use her for a snack, and then walk away with no consequence. but even though she failed to remember him, he certainly had her fresh in his mind]

The pleasure is all mine.

[gives a sweeping bow, flaming hair tumbling into his face as he does so]

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[A slight nod of the head. She glanced around, wondering if maybe he knew where they were.]

Do you know where we are? Just a second ago I was in St. Louis, and now I'm here.

[scarredwonder.livejournal.com]

It's called the dressing room. It seems to be a crossroads of dimensions. You'll find several with your face from different worlds entirely.

...Kairi!

[hi, coming to her and instantly dropping to his knees, nuzzling her thigh, taking comfort in her touch]

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She backed up quickly.]

Woah, hey. What's this about?

[doesdishes.livejournal.com]

...You.

[...backs up a bit, still submissive]

You're Kairi. The Kairi from my world, right?

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She frowned. Sensing that this were was serious.]

If I am, I don't know you. I'm sorry.

marluxia = Jean-Claude

[doesdishes.livejournal.com]

..what?

But....but you know Marluxia, right?

Re: marluxia = Jean-Claude

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She shrugged.]

I was supposed to question a Marluxia today, I believe. Isn't he the owner of Guilty Pleasures?

Re: marluxia = Jean-Claude

[doesdishes.livejournal.com]

[j-just staring]

He is, but you're his--

[s-stops. Kairi never liked being reminded of her unwilling ties]

Re: marluxia = Jean-Claude

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She canted her head to the side.]

I'm his what? I've never met the man before.

[doesdishes.livejournal.com]

.....Nevermind.

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She frowned.]

I'm sorry, it seems that I'm someone important to you, but I honestly haven't met you.

I'm Kairi.

[doesdishes.livejournal.com]

[quiet]

I know.

[swallows and attempts a smile]

I'm Riku.

[sinful-wants.livejournal.com]

[She felt sorry for him, she really did.]

It's nice to meet you, Riku.
