in every corner

[there's a scream from down this hallway as some poor soul is consumed by the shadows -- not Heartless, simply moving shadows. as the last dying gurgle escapes the writhing mass, a figure rises out of it slowly, darkness rolling and dripping off him like smoke and water. the figure is fully dressed in dark leather; heavy boots, pants, and a lovely leather jacket with a black wifebeater beneath it. he breathes the darkness in, out, a slow and dangerous smile making its way onto his face as he takes in the sight of the hallway. a hand goes to his pocket, a cigarette is pulled out and put to his lips, lit with a flick of his other hand. he runs that hand through his dark blue hair afterward, red eyes bright with malicious intent.]

Well now... didja miss me, dressing room?

[scoops the bun up, wondering what to do with him, and takes Axel's hand.]

Yeah, we can... when did he even get back?

Oh, very recently, I'd say.

[WHEN DID THAT SHADOW GET THERE he's rising out of it now, all dramatic-like, exhaling some cigarette smoke.]

[looks bored and annoyed, and definitely unconcerned.]

Yeah, he'd have been bugging the shit out of us a lot sooner otherwise.

[steps closer to Axel, a little behind him; Gem makes him nervous for many reasons, and though he knows he can fight the man, he doesn't want to go anywhere near him.]

[he lets out a short, harsh laugh at Kai's reaction, suddenly lunging forward, darkness spear-like around him.]

[drops Kai's hand so he has both available, and throws up a wall of fire in front of them, the flames so hot and dense that they're almost white.]

[he stops short of the fire and darts to the side, around it and toward Kai.]

[it's not that easy, mister. I've trained and learned some new tricks since you were last here. P: tracks the movement and brings his hands almost all the way together, super-heating the air around Gem until it makes a nice fire-less explosion, hopefully enough to stun him.]

[it stuns him, but the darkness immediately swarms him and pulls him into the ground. did you think that was all him?]

[...maybe a little. :|a takes Kai's arm and pulls him closer, where Axel can be in the way of any attack from somewhere behind them, and keeps his eyes on the spot where Gem vanished.]

[Kai will be holding onto Axel like his life depends on it while Gem emerges somewhere out of sight. DARK, SPIKY DEATH FROM ABOVE!]

[the fuck did you come out of up there? I was under the impression that we were somewhere vaguely outside. :|a senses impending doom a second before it's too late and hauls Kai out of the way, not stopping there just in case the spikes follow them or another attack comes or something.]

[what, he's not up there, it's just darkness. in fact, time to prove he's not up there, because he's coming from the opposite direction of the spikes!]

[...what, underneath us? :B encloses himself and Kai in a bubble of fire, hands outstretched and stance low to keep it going. his voice is tense and more than a little distracted.]

Kai, you have to snap out of it and help me here, you can do way more against him than I can.

[no, you doof, the spikes started following from ground level /should have been more specific. he stops again, standing outside the fire with his arms crossed. he looks way too smug right now.]

...right. R-Right, sorry.

[he's still keeping a very confused and freaked out bun to his chest, but he adds a shield of Light under the fire bubble, just so he can have a bit more time to shake himself out of it.]

[will wait a minute until Kai's got more of a grip on things before he drops the fire, mostly so they can see what Gem's up to. also wtf does Gem have to look smug about. not being able to hit them?]

[well, it probably gets even more confusing as he reaches out and places his hand firmly on the shield. there's a hiss of searing flesh from his hand for a moment...]

[and the shield abruptly drops as Kai screams, scrambling to let go of Apricot and move backwards, tears springing to his eyes as he holds his burnt hand out away from him to keep from catching it against his clothing.]

[manages to prioritize and leaps at Gem, wrestling him to the ground and pinning him there.]

Nice trick, sunshine. Lemme guess, if I kill you, he goes too, right?

[he is so incredibly smuuuug. and Kai will be in the background whimpering and trying to focus enough to heal that burn.]

If you kill me, he'll be the only one going. Of course, you could just kill me properly afterward.

[he'll show the hand he put on the shield; barely burned, and only because he took too long to force it toward Kai.]

Mm, yeah. Except that you obviously have to make a conscious effort to make him feel it instead of you, so I bet if I just bashed your skull in you wouldn't have time to do anything.

[is seriously considering knocking the fucker out and stringing him up next to Marluxia in the sealed room. :|a]

Oh, of course, except that it's still going right now. That was just a test run, you know~?

[besides, there's enough of "him" in the shadows that they can kind of think on their own; they'd just drag him down again.]

[spends a long moment trying to see some way out of this that doesn't involve Kai getting hurt more; can't figure anything out, and is obviously furious about it, but finally just lets out an exasperated sigh, expression relaxing as he does, and climbs off of Gem. he's just going to calmly go over to his lover now and check on that burnt hand, and you can go do whatever the fuck you want.]

[he is quite triumphant as he sinks away into the shadows again, leaving the two alone for now.]
