"Where the hell have you bein?" Supierior asked me when i got to the other side of the portal.
"Away." was my short answer.
"Where away?" He was going to be persistant wasn't he?
"I met someone." this stoped him in his tracks as he looked at me most likely trying to guess if i was joking or not.
"You...met someone?"
"yes."
"What is her name?"
"How did you know it was a girl?" He looked at me annoyed.
"Excuse me for sounding like you but how many GUYS wear lilac scented purfume?" He had a point.
"You can smell that?" He seemed to be getting more annoyed at me.
"Yes, you don't normaly smell like lilacs so it's painfully obvious, now what is her name?
"....Maori." He grinned and then asked me.
"Is she cute?" Hi relised he was messing with me seconds before i replied.I thought for a second then replied.
"Smart to." He roled his eyes at me.
"Of course you would not be very interested in a person unless they could have an intelligent conversation with you."
"What is that supposed to mean!"
"That you value Intelligence...alot."
"......I planned on seeing her again tomorrow" He looked at me like i was crazy.
"What?" I repeated myself.
"I want to see her again......i don't know why but i do." He looked at me a little while longer.
"Fine by me." I was surprised enough to ask him why.
"Because, I feel like letting you go." was all he said.
As he left he then said "But I want you to try to find out why you want to see her." I agreed to his condition.
"Oh, and you might want to get her perfume off of you before you leave your room, the lilac scent is very noticable." Blushing I headed to the shower.
******Maori's P.O.V.******
'He's interesting not to mention cute.' I thought to my self as I streched out after watching a movie with Laurel.
She seemed to know what i was thinking about because she started talking about him. "You know Zexion was cute........"
she grinned. "can I have dibs?"
"What!?!" She kept looking at me and then said.
"You liked him didn't you?"
"I hardly know him."
"Then you're interested in him at least." I blushed.
"You are! You are interested! Oh my God!" She tackled me. "Little Maori is growing up!"
"Laurel, you are being a goofball!"
"So what? I'm happy right?" She sat on my back and started to brushout my hair.
"Why do you do this every night?" I asked her as she gently pulled the brush through my hair.
"Because, I think it's fun" She finnished brushing my hair and started rebraiding the long strands.
"why would this be fun?"
"Because, I think it is fun." She said as she gently tugged on my hair.
"Your nutts you know that?" I told her, she finnished braiding and twisted the end of the braid into a hair tie but continued playing with the silky rope.
"Yea but i like it this way." She rolled off of me and started picking up the popcorn bowls.
"................I am interested in Zexion." I told her, while twirling one the long bangs that fraimed my face. She grinned and replied.
"I know." She patted my head. "But, are you gonna see him again?" I blushed again.
"Yes, tomorrow accually."
"I'll stay out of your way then." She left the livingroom and walked into the kitchen to put the bowls in the sink.

******Zexion's P.O.V.******

I let the water run down my body as I though about the day I had experienced, and about Maori. I pulled her image out of my memories and tried to think of reasons I would want to be with her, I couldn't think of anything, I turned the water off, got out and grabed a towel.

I got dresses in a pair of black jeans and a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt. I walked down the hallway with that sickly green color to it. Walking past Demyx's Music room, I could hear a soft strum of some sort of guitar.I gnored it until I got to the living room only to find Demyx, Axel and Luxord on the couch watching "Jackass". It made me wonder who the hell was playing that music.

I walked back to the music room. I knocked on the door and heard people talking, well actually two.
"I'm coming in." I said loud enough for the people in the music room to hear. I opened the door and found Shiin and Xaldin playing two bass guitars. One of them was Demyx's but the other one I don't know who it belongs to. It looks like it has stains of blood on it and a drawing of a blue rose.
"Hello, number VI. What're you doing?" Xaldin asked.
"Oh, nothing." I said.

I walked in and just watched the two of them for a while, after about an hour I started to notice how Xaldin looked at Shiin. His eyes just seemed to light up and he smiled. As they played and talked I thought again about Maori. I knew I couldn't think strait when i was with her , I knew she was smart, and I knew she was absolutely beauiful. I perked up a bit and said. "Xaldin, can I talk with you?"

"Yeah, what is it?" Xaldin asked.
"I mean in privacy." Zexion said. He lead Xaldin into the hallway.
"What do you need, Zexion?" He asked.
"Well, It's hard to explain." Zexion said with a tint of red coming to his cheeks.
"Is it about a girl that you like or has Xigbar been harassing you?" Xaldin asked. I could tell he has been depressed lately.
"It's about a girl I met. I want to be close to her but i don't know why." zexion told the older man while his face became redder.
"So, you don't know why you would want to be near a girl you met..how long ago."
"Today, look i know how you've bein acting around Shiin and i see the way you look at her it seems to reflect the way I'm feeling, What i want to know is why i am feeling this."

"Well, Zexion, you just have to get her interested in you. I got shiin interested in me by not acting like a perv and just liking some of the same things. Not to mention looking handsome." Xaldin said. I listened to almost every word he said. "any way eventually you might just find out why you want to be with her."

****Maori's POV****

"I'm not sure he would like this kind of stuff." Maori said.
"Nonsense! Alot of guys like this stuff!" Laurel said. Maori looked at herself in the mirror. I was wearing a lacey coursent colored black and purple.
"I seriously don't think you're helping." I said back.

"Look I'm just going to wear my green button-up shirt and a pair of blue jeans. ok?"
"Fine....but wear your hair out of the braid."
"Why..."
"Because, when you do wear your hair around your shoulders guys can't take there eyes off of you." Laurel told me. as she picked up the clothes I wanted.
"This green does bring out your eyes." she said while holding up my shirt. "not to mention it'll show off your figure.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." She said

****Zexion POV****

"Its that simple?" i said.
"Not all of the time. It depends on who you take advice from. If you take them from someone like Xigbar, then she will hate your guts. If you take some advice from me, then you should be fine." Xaldin said.

"How would you know? How many girls Have you charmed?" i asked him doubtfuly.Xaldin looked at me for a moment before saying.
"I...don't know."
"How can you not know?" I asked him confused.

"When I was still a somebody, I met this girl. Her name was Inshi. I don't know if she's still around anymore. I had help from Xemnas and I won her over. Then there was the incident. I think she Killed herself just because I never saw her again." Xaldin said.
"That just sounds awful." I said.

"The worst part is not knowing what happend to her. But i guess i can tell myself that she's happy somewhere."
"Good point." Xaldin thought for a minute.
"What's her name?"
"What?"
"The girl you like. What is her name?"
"Maori. Why?'
"I just wanted to know." xaldin grinned at him then asked. "Is she pretty?"
"Drop dead beautiful, and smart to."
"Figures her mind is the first thing you notice."
"Xemnas said that to."
"He's right isnt he."
"Yea he is." i told him. "The weird thing is i met her because she knocked me over on accident, then she was worried about me having a concussion."
"Really?"
"yea, when i sat up she forgot to move off of me so she was sitting in my lap while she asked me about my head."
"You fell for a girl with blue eyes" Xaldin said.
"Was that a pun?" I asked.
"Yes." He retorted and sneered.
"I don't blame you." He said putting his hand on my shoulder, "When's the next time you're going to see her?"
"Tomorrow." I said while grinning.
"She's allready gotten to you, you grin at the thought of her." Xaldin said laughing.
"Hell who wouldn't want to see her again?"
"I wouldn't know I've never met her."
"oh yeah...." I said realizing that she hasn't met anyone else in the organization.
"XIGBARRRRR YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!" Shiin screamed.
"Goddamnit, Xigbar, can't ou leave Shiin alone?" Xaldin said to himself.
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE OVER REACTING!!!"
"NO I AM NOT!! YOU KEEP TOUCHING MY ASS EVERY CHANCH YOU GET!!"
"SO WHAT YOU HAVE A NICE ASS!!!"
"XIGBAR, STOP TOUCHING HER!!!"
"TAKE XALDINS ADVISE DUMBASS!!! IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR HAND BECAUSE NEXT TIME I AM GONNA TAKE YOUR HAND OFF!!!"
"You might want to get them away from each other" I told him.
"Yea, oh hey if you need to talk again-"
"yea thank you it helped."
Xigbar quickly dissapeared.
"Goddamn, can't he solve this with therapy?" Shiin said. She got up and gave a small kiss to Xaldin.
"He's an ass." Xaldin told her as he carefully put his arms around her."I doubt therapy is going to solve that."
"It could be worth a try though" She started nuzzling his neck.
"I'm still here, you know." I said. They seemed to ignore me. I left them alone after a little while. I walked into the living room where the three were still watching "Jackass".
"Hey guys." I said.
"Hey short-stuff" Axel replied
"Stop calling me that." he told the pyro.
"Why should I?" he countered.
"Waht are you guys watching?" I asked.
"This really hilarious show called 'Jackass'. All it has is physical humor!" Luxord said.
"Remember the time when the gy got hit by a bull and went flying through the air?" Demyx said.
"That was too hilarious!!!!" Luxord said laughing.
"You guys are nutts." I told them.
"Either that or you need to relax." Axel retorted
"What ever" 'I know I need to relax tell me something i don't know'
"Really you act like you have a stick up your ass half the time" luxord stated
There was a strange silence after Luxord said that. I din't really want to say anything. But over the silence, I could hear a song being played to loudly.
"And the other half of the time what do I act like then?" I asked the Gambler.
"Well decent accually."
"ok so is there a problem with my acting like i have a stick up my ass if the rest of the time i act decently?"
"I guess not.."
"good" I started to walk away but stoped. "To hell wit it i'll watch it with you." and sat down next to luxord
After about a half hour of aimless phisical humor, the show was over.
"That was just pointless." I said. They seemed to enjoy the show.
"I'm leaving." I said.
"That was your decent side by the way!" Luxord yelled after me.
"Thanks for the fill in!" I yelled back.
"you're still short-stuff?"
"I'm surrounded by mostly dumbasses." I said as I left the room. I headed toward my bedroom. It was dark with black walls.One of the walls had still been green from the last time we painted in here.
"Damn I can't get her out of my head." I said to the empty room. I layed on the bed and closed my eyes, I let the images of her slip in and out of my mind untill i decided i should go to bed.

The next morning wasn't so great. I was still very tired, I almost got blinded by the overhead light in my room and I got a bruise on my forehead.
"I hope seeing Maori will be better." I pulled on a clean pair of jeans and a blue T-shirt that some of the others said matched my eyes, and then opened a portal.
"Zexion!!!!" someone yelled. I opened the door to my room and standing there was Demyx.
"Why did you miss breakfast?!?! Xaldin made pancakes!!!" He yelled.
'How long did I sleep' I asked myself.
"I can't talk demyx, I have to go somewhere." I said.
"where?"
"why do you want to know?"
"beause....I want to know."
"I'm going out for a walk, alright?"
"....no you're not."
"why do you say that?"
"You have your wallet in your hand."
