Axel's Girl (On Hold For KH3)

Who's Afraid of the Big Badwolf

                      Axel ran down a set of silver stairs, almost completely out of breath. "Lash," he grabbed her arm and stopped her in her tracks. "I need another favor." Laxh rolled her eyes and yanked free of his grasp. "Please? I know I still owe you for the last time, but I'll make it up to you somehow."

                      Laxh flicked her hair out of her face. "I don't believe you."

                      Axel scoffed. "Why? If anyone's being untrust worthy, it's you. Pirate."

                      "Excuse me?"

                      "You heard what I said." Axel reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a glass trinket. "I found this in your room. It belonged to a resident in Wonderland, didn't it?"

                      Laxh slowly drew out a long breath. "What were you doing in my room?" She said calmly, although rage flashed in her deep green eyes. She held out a hand to take the trinket, but Axel let it fall to the ground. A loud shattering noise filled the hall.

                      "I need a favor, and you need me to keep your secret." Axel tilted Laxh's chin up so he could see her face.

                      Laxh gave a little chuckle. "Blackmail. You're worse than me."

                      Axel smiled. "You'll do it then?"

                      "I have no choice."

                      Axel laughed and kissed Laxh's cheek. "That's right, Squirt. I need you to fill in for me on a mission. It's a fairly simple job. Just a little heartless recon. Do it and I promise not to spill the beans on your little theft. Got it memorized?"

                     "Yes, sir." Laxh sneered and wiped his kiss off her cheek.

                     Laxh's dark portal appeared in Beast's Castle like a dark candle's flame in the moonlight. She looked around her and pulled her hood up. Heartless recon, she thought. So simple. Why did he want to skip out on it?

                      After locating the heartless Laxh hid to get a better look at it. She took out a notepad and started drawing the heartless. Large shield plating, heavy set battle stance, incredible attack power, this thing is a monster.

                      Suddenly, Laxh heard a load roar. A beast burst out of the shadows and took the heartless by surprise. "No heartless will make its home in my castle."

                       Laxh stayed hidden as she watched the beast. Maybe, Axel is afraid of him. She thought silently. Hehe. Axel afraid? That'd be rich.

                       "Afraid?" Axel's tone paralleled annoyance. "I am not afraid of an over-sized kitten. I just had better things to do."

                       "Like what?" Laxh giggled. "Organize your stamp collection?"

                       Axel turned away from Laxh. "Oh, shut up. If you must know I was hanging out with a friend."

                       Laxh breathed in dramatically . "A lady friend? Ooh, Axel."

                       He blushed and gave Laxh a side-ways glance. "It's not like that. I'm just looking after Roxas and Xion." Axel tossed Laxh a few pieces of munny. "Besides, it's none of your business. Go back to raiding the silver-ware."
