Warnings: Erm, mentions of violence. Not very bad violence though. Bummer.
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 wishes to hone her fighting skills and Saïx is roped into helping.
A/N: I like this pairing. Too bad I can never seem to make Larxene schmoopy with anyone other than Marluxia. Eh.
Nobodies aren’t created with the perfect fighting abilities already fused into them. While some underlying knowledge of battle seemed to crop up in the minds of stronger Nobodies, it was those who knew what to do with that skill that became even better at wielding a weapon. But in order to achieve such a great level of fighting prowess, one had to learn it from another.
“If you don’t want to be sent flying across the room, I suggest you watch your left side a little more carefully,” Saïx informed the female Nobody in front of him. The blonde, tightening her grip on the small knives in both of her hands, frowned.
“But you told me if I concentrate too much on watching my sides I’d miss anything thrown at me from the front,” she said, following Saïx’s claymore out of the corner of her eye. “Like when you smacked me across the face with that thing.”
“I will not apologize for that, Larxene,” Saïx responded coolly. “Knowing what your opponent is doing is key.”
Larxene glared at the man. Number VII had been assisting her in polishing up her fighting skills, but she had never planned on him actually being able to smack her around even once. This led to her demands that Saïx teach her anything he knew worth learning. As it turned out, this was quite a lot of things.
“Stay focused,” the Luna Diviner continued. The two circled each other slowly, as if sizing each other up. “Don’t let your mind—” He leapt forward, bringing his claymore around towards Larxene. The younger Nobody jumped out of the way at the last moment, the weapon knocking against her leg as she moved. “—wander. What was that?”
“Me not getting sliced in two, Saïx,” Larxene answered, mentally checking if she could still move her foot properly.
“You’re doing it all wrong.” Saïx shouldered his claymore, looking vexed. “I know you’re fast. You know you’re fast. You need to stop hesitating. Retreat is acceptable as long as it doesn’t last.”
“Who says I’m hesitating?”
“Are you going to contradict every little thing I say?” Saïx growled. “Think you know everything there is to this already?”
Larxene focused her glare at a point behind Saïx this time. “No, I don’t.”
“Good. Now you either dodge this next attack completely or your head comes clean off.”
“Choices, choices,” Larxene grumbled, and tensed up, watching for any sudden movement.
