[Kingdom Hearts] Inducement [12/2]

(12/2)
Title: Inducement
Rating: PG
Warnings: Um...one swearword?
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is, most obviously, owned by big name companies and not by a girl sitting at a laptop on her bedroom floor.
Summary: In which Larxene sneaks about, and Xigbar refuses to comply to her demands.
A/N: If I’m not careful, this is going to end up like Marluxia’s set of drabbles; Larxene’s not going to be a very happy camper at the end of the week. xD



In an organization such as this one, one does not advance in rank, nor get demoted. One may fall out of favor, or into it, but no actual promotion is ever achieved. Because of this, Larxene thought it advantageous to find some ways into which could attain a higher authority.

Her plans, however, did not ever figure in being caught in the act.

“Well what do we have here? Whatever could you be looking for in the Superior’s office, Number Twelve?”

Larxene restrained from glaring at the man who had snuck up behind her. Instead, she graced him with a smile.

“Nothing of importance, Xigbar,” she replied, removing her hands from the papers she had been riffling through. “You needn’t concern yourself.”

“Oh, but I must. What sort of second in command would I be if I didn’t?” Xigbar let out a harsh laugh, sitting down nonchalantly on the edge of Xemnas’s desk. “Look, let’s drop the polite talk, all right? What’s up?”

“If you must know,” Larxene said, frowning, “I’m looking for blueprints of Castle Oblivion.”

Xigbar smirked at her. “And what makes you think there are any?”

“It was just an idea.” And as ideas went, Larxene was particularly good at thinking up new ones. “I haven’t found any, unfortunately. Unless....” She leaned forward, pressing herself up against Xigbar casually as she spoke. “...You know where they might be?”

“Now what gives you that idea, princess?” Xigbar continued to grin, ruffling the Savage Nymph’s hair in the way that one would ruffle a four year-old’s. Looking extremely put out, Larxene pulled back from Xigbar’s touch.

“Don’t call me princess,” she growled, scowling.

“I can call you whatever I damn well please,” Xigbar told her. “Especially since you think you can get your way around here all the time.” Ignoring Larxene’s fervent glower, he continued, “There are no maps of Castle Oblivion. That’s the point. I’m not going to ask you how you found out about the place, and if you leave now, I won’t even bring the subject up with Xemnas.”

Still looking irritated, Larxene brought up a portal behind the two of them. “That’s not any way to make friends, you know,” she muttered, determined to have the last word.

“And neither is that, princess,” Xigbar answered, chuckling as Larxene stormed out of there in a huff. “Neither is that.”
