the clock struck twelve

[People should be careful. There are a lot of Unversed in this one part of the dressing room. They tiny blue ones seem to be searching for something. Or someone. A Vanitas is leaning against a wall, watching them.]

'Care for?'

[Headtilt-o.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She's not about to explain this to two of them now, frowning more and turning to walk away.] He's my friend, of course I care.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

A bond like 'friendship' is still useless. Why would any version of me bother to make such a pitiful connection?

I can't speak for him, but personally... I have one goal, and said goal is impossible here.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

Why do you think he's even a friend?

[He's so curious. Damnit woman. B|]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

He helped me several times, and he taught me how to defend myself. [And I feel something different when I'm with him.

Not like she's saying that out loud though--for that matter, why is she even explaining herself?]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

It's a ruse. Like I said, you're the perfect shield.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

You think that's enough to be a friend?

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

I don't believe that. [She's seriously going to move to leave now, but she's starting to really not like encountering these other Vanitas.]

Yes, I think it is, because he wasn't doing it to use me.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Snap!

Suddenly, two Bruisers appear to block her path. ]

Well, if he even cared, surely he'd be here, hm?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[... he'd be throwing a dirty glare at the other Vanitas, if he could. Come on, Kairi. I taught you better than this.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Starts in a little surprise at the two Bruisers and takes a few steps back, but she doesn't turn around.] In a way, he is. [Summons her keyblade and carefully sets her weight on the ankle she had been nursing the entire time.]

I did say he taught me how to defend myself.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

A Keyblade?

[ Ha ha ha ha... Oh, how interesting. ]

Well then, Princess. Why don't we put that strength to the test?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[... Oi, that can't be good. Stupid Kairi. Stupid stupid.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Taking another step back, she set her crutch against the wall and readied herself, huh it's odd that she seems to be walking just fine.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ And... ahaha. He summons his Keyblade, while the two Bruisers hop forward. ]

Too bad he's not here to watch. It's sure to be a hoot, wouldn't you say?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Enough. Summons his Keyblade and goes over, as if to wait and watch, right behind the other Van.

Is that a portal in front of you, other Van. Whoops. THIS. IS. DRESSING ROOM.

Kicks Knocks him in it.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She's not noticing what's going on behind her at first, concentrating more on the Bruisers to avoid getting hurt.]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[With that out of the way, he calls the Bruisers away.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Blinks in a bit of surprise and turns, cautious and keeping her keyblade out at first.] ..? [One of them was missing. That's.. odd.]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Walks over to her and grabs her by the elbow, forming another portal and dragging her into it.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

Wha-- [Caught and pulled, she dragged her feet, still unsure of what this Vanitas had in mind for her.]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Just follow me B| I can get you a new crutch later]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She had to quit dragging her feet at a point and hobbled a bit, having to walk with him. Something seemed familiar though..]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Indeed. The portal closes behind them in a room probably far away from the main dressing room. The helmet disappears and he glares at her.]

Why the hell are you looking for me?

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Blinks in surprise but she finally let the keyblade disappear, smiling a bit though it had more of a worried look.] I was worried. [You up and completely disappeared!]
