Radiant Destiny

Chapter 8: “Sometimes people scare me…”

“...Yummy...” The one named Vexen said. This Vexen's hair was blond. He had bright green eyes too, almost like looking at a light green light really... Zexion grinned when he said that. “I have to admit Demyx... very yummy....” Zexion said standing closer to Demyx now. 'Wow... they are hitting on him in public...' I couldn't believe what I was seeing... “Well... if you like what you see then prove it.” Demyx said with a smirk. “Oh believe me... later we will... But right now I need to talk to Sora.” Zexion said as he first looked at Demyx then at Sora...


“...Me?.... What I do?” Sora asked. He looked worried and I liked that look... “Oh don't worry Sora... I just need to speak to you about our writing homework.” Zexion answered. “Oh well I was thinking about that and I was wondering that instead of a story how about a song?” Sora responded. Zexion smiled. “That would be wonderful... I am glad I got you as a writing partner instead of Saix. He can be stubborn about following the rules all the time.” Zexion responded back walking up to Sora. “So do you want to use one of the songs I have here that I've been working on or do you want to start from scratch?” Zexion asked opening the book he had in his hands. “Um... scratch. That way it'll be from both of us and I won't feel like I'm not doing anything but still getting credit for it.” Sora answered. “Ha-ha. Sora you always have to be honest don't you?” Zexion laughed as he put his arm around Sora. 'Dude you better just be a friend!'

With Zexion’s arm still around Sora , he held his book open in front of Sora while standing behind him. “So… what should the song be about?” Zexion asked taking out a mechanical pencil from his pocket and getting it at the ready. “Um… I don’t know… You pick.” Sora responded. “Hum…. Oh I know how about a bad song?” Zexion asked with a wicked smile. ’Oh hell no!’ “…Bad?…” Sora asked with fear in his voice. “Let me put it this way… A song about death…. Or violence.” Zexion answered. ‘Is he crazy!?‘ Sora blinked a couple of times before he started to laugh. Zexion smiled at that and wrote something in his book.

Once Sora stopped laughing he looked at what Zexion wrote and is eyes got big. “Oh my god that’s a great idea! We most write about that! Its sweet revenge against him!” Sora responded jumping up and down still in Zexion’s arms. Zexion just laughed… “Okay I’ll work on it tonight and see if you like what I come up with… You can write the music to it, how about that?” Zexion asked. “Okay!” Sora answered. “But Zexy!!!!!” Axel whined?! Zexion looked at Axel and blinked once before smirking. “After your 16th birthday party of course…” Zexion responded. I looked at Axel to see him smile as if he won a fight? ‘….okay…..’


“Well I guess I’ll introduce myself seeing as no one else will! I’m Vexen Morgan, this is Zexion ShadowRaven, and Demy’s last name is Waters… Oh and if you don’t know Marluxia’s is Vine…” The one named Vexen introduced. “Um I’m Riku Sabastian Storm , the youngest, and these are my brothers Loz Theodore Storm, Kadaj Seth Storm, and Yazoo Vincent Storm, their triplets.” I introduced back. “And what about your father?” Zexion asked. “Oh his name is Sephiroth Crescent Storm.” Loz answered for me. “Cool. So what’s the song about?” Demyx asked.

Zexion removed his arm from around Sora and closed his book. “Got to wait and find out in writing class like everyone else Dem.” Zexion answered… “But-but….” Demyx started to say. “Nope! And unless you want to be hexed you will leave my book alone!” Zexion said. Demyx pouty and crossed his arms around his bare chest…

I thought that was the end of that until I saw Demyx and Vexen smirk at each other before Demyx uncrossed his arms. Demyx grabbed Zexion’s book from his grasp just as Vexen pushed Zexion hard enough to make him fall. In one second Zexion was on his back on the ground with Vexen sitting on his chest smiling. “Wha-What the Hell?!” Zexion said surprised. Axel began to laugh as Demyx opened Zexion’s book and sat in Vexen’s lap so he could read also…

I looked at everyone to see if anyone was going to say or do anything, but everyone seemed to weirded out to do anything but stare… ‘Great… Well as long as it’s not me or Sora…’

So there they were Demyx and Vexen reading Zexion’s book with Zexion cussing at them… “If you don’t get off me I’ll hex you both into having no dicks!” Zexion yelled. My eyes got really big until Demyx replied… “No you won’t because then you’d be bored…. How the hell?…. Vexen is he serious about that!?” Demyx asked pointing at something in Zexion’s book. “I-I hope not…” Vexen responded. “*sigh* What page?…” Zexion asked. “Page 8.” Vexen answered. Zexion smiled wickedly. “Oh believe me I am…” Zexion answered. Both Vexen and Demyx’s eyes got big before they got off of Zexion and through his book back to him.


Without a word they both walked up to Axel and hugged him. “What the hell?!” Axel asked shocked. “We’ll miss you buddy…” Demyx said. “Yeah… you were a great friend…” Vexen said. Axel whimpered?! Once they let go of Axel he starts backing off away from Zexion… I looked at Zexion and he acted like nothing was going on… “Zex I … What I’d do?…. Come on man being emo means you do stuff to ‘yourself’ not me?!” Axel said still backing up. Demyx and Vexen tackled Zexion and started laying kisses on him. “Man Ax is so easy to break!” Vexen says laughing. “Yeah Zexion won’t hurt anyone! … on purpose…” Demyx also said. I look towards Axel again and I see his eye twitch… ‘I think his going to hurt them for this…’

“That-that was mean… Why is everyone picking on me today!?” Axel yelled waving his arms around. Zexion got back up off of the ground. “Because it’s your birthday dumb shit! People say blonds are dumb but I believe it’s redheads instead…” Zexion answered. “Oh hell no! You did not just call my dumb! You-you… witch!” Axel yelled getting even more pissed if that was possible. ‘Witch?’ Zexion blinked a couple of times before stretching popping his back in the process. “I’m not a woman Axel. A witch is a woman, I’m a wicken…or warlock if you will.” Zexion responded. ‘Is he serious?! There’s no such thing as a witch!’ I was starting to think this was another joke until Zexion spoke again… “Yes there is such a thing as a witch Riku.” Zexion said. My eyes got really big and everyone looked at me. “Zexion has two abilities you see… One he can smell anything, and I mean anything. Second he can sometimes read minds… not all the time though just when he wants too…” Vexen answered.


“Oh sure make it sound like I like reading people’s minds at random! What he’s trying to say is that I can read people’s faces like a book, not minds… Aunt Male taught me that one before I was ready so yeah…” Zexion redirected. “Aunt Male?… Male?…. Aerith only had a sister but her name was… Oh my God! Your talking about Maleficent!” Dad yelled out. “Um yeah… You knew my mom?” Zexion asked. “Yeah I knew since me, Tifa, Zack and her was babies.” Dad answered. ‘Wow…’ “So you were my mother’s friend?” Zexion asked. “Yes. Her best friend.” Dad answered with a smile. “You dated her didn’t you?… I can see it in your eyes.” Zexion said. I looked at dad to see him smiling still. “Dad…” I said. Dad looked at me then back at Zexion. “Yes at one point we did date but we realized that are love was one of brother and sister not lovers. I left with Calypso two weeks after Aerith married Drake, your father. I never liked the guy and even though she wasn’t saying anything I knew he was beating her. I begged her to do something about it but she just kept saying it’s nothing I can’t handle Seph… I shouldn’t have left…” Dad said sighing as he looked down. “It’s no ones fought but my dad’s… I wish I knew how to hex before he went to prison… He deserves to die a slow and painful death but I can’t do that without using dark wicken powers, which I can’t do without regret. Aunt Male could… but she won’t for some reason…” Zexion said with anger in his eyes. Dad looked up at him and blinked. “Maleficent won’t kill him because it would be to good for him… Sometimes lying in a cell until the day you die is far worse than dieing.” Dad said with a serious tone. “That’s what the judge said. I was the one who called the police when he beat her that last time… She died before they got there. I was only 10.” Zexion said now with sadness in his eyes. “Oh Zexion…” Demyx and Vexen said at the same time before holding his between them and nudging their noses into his neck on each side. That seemed to calm down Zexion enough to sigh and smile a little smile. ‘They really love him don’t they?’
