Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 81: Night at the Big Apple Pt.1- Ready, Set, GO!

Kairi!!! There you are!!! We were so worried!!!

I'm sorry Ali, I had smudged my make up all over the place and I just needed to fix it~ Isn't that right Bubble.

-A loud overenthusiastic pop was heard in response.-

Yes ma'am! There was a nice sign on the front of the house we came here behind that said anyone who needed to clean up could use the facilities inside.

-Shaddow overheard the pair reappearing and explaining themselves from not far away, smirking mildly at the explanation for there disappearance, almost as if they knew something others didn't. Then again, that tended to be a pattern with this one. Many people whom had been searching for the girl became relieved, several curiously walking over to greet her, particularly Xemnas, Xigbar, Xion and Roxas. The first to speak was the Superior of the In-between.-

Well, it appears you are safe and sound, that's quite the relief isn't it? Kairi was it?

Um yes, who are you? You uh-

-Kairi paused, trying not to react too quickly. That man... he looked just like- -

Oh, apologizes. I guess it would be rather rude not to introduce myself~ I am Xemnas, though you may hear several here refer to me as Xehanort.

-The girl nervously looked over at Bubble, almost to ask if this man was safe, since holy Kingdom Hearts did he look just like Ansem Seeker of Darkness. The girl was shocked he hadn't introduced himself with a monologue about how everything must return to darkness as if it were the best diet pill everyone should be taking. When he lightly nodded his little head in approval, she simply smiled, and lightly bowed her head to the man.-

I see. Very nice to meet you. Though, how do you know me?

Ah, we can discuss that later, I am sure considering the long wait, everyone wants to get this underway yes? However, if you are in need of any assistance, simply speak to any of my associates. Xigbar, I take it you will be taking these lovely young ladies out to see the town?

-For once, he didn't say "As if".-

Hell yeah. We're gonna have a grand ol' time, right girls? The annoying ass gamblers coming too, he's got a giant wallet that's going to pay for it all.

Oh thats ok uncle, Crazy gave us spending money~

-Chimed Ali with glee, giggling at Luxord's raised eyebrow at Xigbar's attempt to force him to pay for the whole trip through New York City. To be fair, he would have done it, just to then jab back how much of a crap uncle the man was for not spending some dime on the girls; The look on the gold eyed pirates face would have been so worth it. The blond man grinned and nodded his head to Ali at her words, how thoughtful of "Crazy" to do that. He was starting to wonder how much munny Shaddow and Shade seriously had considering how much they had already given to those on this little vacation.-

Ah I see. That was kind of them Alisse. I am sure Braig wishes for such deep pockets, from what I have been hearing, a lot of spending money has been gifted to those around here.

-Xigbar grunted and crossed his arms, catching on where Luxord was going with that; How interesting. He was wondering how "Crazy" Shaddow actually was to get a nickname like that. Roxas and Xion idly wandered over to Kairi, the shy raventte waving at the red head before piping up cutely.-

Its good to know your ok. I and Roxas searched everywhere for you while you were gone. Your face is really pretty, is that because of the make up?

-Kairi blushed lightly, scratching awkwardly at her own cheek.-

Thank you, oh uh... probably.

I'd like to try some too sometime!~ I don't know what that black stuff is around your eyes, but I like it a lot. What do you think Roxas? Would it look nice on me too?
