He turned back towards her, finding himself wondering if he should have embarked on any of this. "A kiss. Just one. That's it. As long as it's convincing, I'll be satisfied." He braced himself for her reaction.
Why are you bothering about this? She'll be yours soon enough... but why NOT bother about it? Call it morbid curiosity. I want to know what it would be like for her to kiss me.
I've never been kissed before.

she couldn't help but stare at him. ARE YOU F**KING CRAZY!?! EWWWW!!!! she wanted to yell that but instead she just raised a brow. ''a... kiss?'' she blinked a few times, remaining calm. ''thats.... it??'' she thought he was kidding...

"That's it," he repeated. He could tell she was disgusted and even slightly incredulous, but to her credit, she wasn't panicking. Just one kiss... what harm could it do? I could be asking for a whole lot more, and she'd have no choice but to give it... she IS my prisoner... but I'm choosing to limit myself.
"You see... your boyfriend and I are different in one very important respect. He has a heart, a rather well-proportioned one, and I very literally do not have any at all. I'd like to know... before I take his... what having one might feel like." He crossed his arms. "I'm not asking to be loved or even liked. Just one kiss. Then we're square."

'hmm.'' she softened her glare. ''alright....'' she said slowly before glancing about. ''just one kiss...'' she was going to ask what kind before she sighed. better get this over with... it could be worse. she took a deep breath before scooting closer, placing a hand lightly on his cheek and kissing him lightly on the lips.....

He sat there for a moment, slightly stunned. I didn't think she'd go through with it...
He closed his eyes and kissed her back, trying to go slightly deeper, placing a gloved hand on her cheek, wanting to pretend she was already his... not just in custody, but in heart as well...
Something inside him was stirring. He couldn't know it, but whatever small part of himself he shared with his "otherworld twin" was responding to her the way Reno had...
He pulled back abruptly, breathing hard and shaking. He couldn't take any more... "I'm sorry," he told her. "But... for someone without a heart to hold those feelings... it's just too much." He hazarded a tentative glance at her. "I..." He trailed off. What else is there to say?
****
Xima was watching coldly, from whatever netherworld supported her dark presence. I do not like the way this seems to be developing...

she kissed him slowly back, closing her eyes at his touch.
she swallowed and stared at him before looking away and blushing slightly. she nodded slightly. ''yes... i... i understand....'' she looked back and met his gaze.

He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his spiky red hair. I'll just... just wait until I have his heart... then I can... I can try again. He saw something in her eyes... but it wasn't meant for him. He knew it belonged to Reno... but soon Reno would be his, so what was the difference? "I've never been kissed before... by anyone. Ever."

she frowned slightly. ''why...??'' it was sad in her mind, to never have been kissed. she didn't really get it, it was slightly alien to her.... she got even more embarrassed then, and she felt bad.oh great.... falling for the bad guy again.... but this guy.... i feel bad for him....maybe i can help him....without loosing reno....

He looked over at her, an ironic grin crossing his face "You have no idea what I am, do you?"
He let out a hollow laugh. "It was years ago. Maybe even decades... time doesn't mean a lot to me anymore." He started fiddling with the dirt. "I was part of a group... they called us Organization Thirteen. We were all Nobodies, creatures whose hearts had been lost, somehow or another. I was an exception to the rule... I didn't lose my heart. I was just created without one."
He glanced sharply at her. "You see... the Nobodies and Heartless have tried to take this world many times, but most people don't seem to remember... that's as it should be, for strictly speaking, we do not exist. Naturally, on one such occasion slightly before my time, there was a response from your Shinra corporation, a more calculating group than Organization Thirteen ever pretended to be. They sent out your boyfriend and his partner to find out what the Organization were up to in the preliminary stages of the attempt."
He shook his head. "They didn't fare too well. Reno was captured, and the potential of his heart discovered. They were about to take it from him when Rude, as it seems is his bent to do, helped him escape at the last second, killing one of the Organization on the way out. They had only managed to steal a small part of Reno... but it was enough to create me, as a replacement for the man they lost."
He waved dismissively. "I don't pretend to fully understand all the hows and whys of the process, but it has been repeated on other occasions. Organization Thirteen is now all but extinct. But after I learned where I had come from, I decided to act on my own. I have been incomplete long enough. I am a shadow of his body and soul, but not his heart. His heart has such capacity..."
Determination surged through him again. "I have to have it." He turned away as a shadow fell across his face. "Besides, I already told you I once sacrificed myself for another. I have only so much time before what small amount of life I have managed to cling to is gone. I was told I could restore my life by fusing it with my double's."
Xima interrupted him.
Careful, Axel. You're getting a bit too close to revealing a few surprises I want to save for later.
All right, all right, relax...
He turned back to Nikky. "Is it so horrible to want a life of my own?" Axel demanded.

nikky listened to him carefully, her compassion growing. she gave him a sympathetic look before realizing what she was doing. she returned to her slightly pouty, angry expression.
she blinked at his words before shaking her head and looking away. ''no.... its not.'' she looked back and gave him a weak but warm smile. ''no one should be denied that....but.'' she grinned slightly. ''i can't let you just waltz in and take my boyfriend away....'' she laughed with light humor. maybe if i could find another way... a different way.... they could both have what they want.... she pondered the thought.

She's really warming up to me. This is VERY good.
"There is no other way..." he insisted, but within he had to wonder... My kind has stolen hearts from others before. Perhaps...
What did I tell you about getting attached to the girl? Your double's heart is the best match, with the highest likelihood of success. Your plan is proceeding perfectly-- don't ruin it with self-doubt.
Whoever said I was getting attached?
Don't play innocent, not with ME. I can tell you like the way she smiles at you... even if there is fear in that smile. Carry out the plan, and she'll be yours... but restrain yourself until then. You know the power of emotional manipulation.
He tried to recover his swagger. "I never said anything about taking him away. I want his life... all of it. And when I Transfer with him... that's exactly what I'll get."

she sighed. i give up... this guys not going to let me try even.... ''hm... alright. just thought i'd try, ya know? started to feel bad for you for a little bit there... but whatever.'' she looked away and crossed her arms slightly, bored and slightly frustrated. i really want to help this guy... but if he keeps shooting it down i can't...

He took an impulsive step towards her, but stopped himself when he rememebered Xima's threats... and alternately, her promises of reward...
But, I do kinda like the way she looks at me...
"You honestly felt sorry for me?" He couldn't help sounding genuinely surprised... That was something people didn't tell him often. "I'd think you'd be feeling sorry for yourself. Maybe for Reno... not me."
He sighed. "Look, I just want to get across here... I really have no other choice." He wanted to tell her more, but he knew what would happen if Xima found out... "I've comitted to this, and if I don't follow through... I die." Hope that was cryptic enough for you, Xima.

she looked over and nodded. ''well yeah...'' she grinned and turnned slightly to face him. ''its not fair to not have a real life... to be denied something so wonderful....'' she sighed. ''and yes... i guess i do feel bad for reno.... but not for myself.'' she ended shortly.
she frowned at him, not believing that for a minute. ''its strange really.... that there is only one option....'' she thought and only frowned more. but she didn't question further. ''.... you'd die?? that sounds a little extreme.... have you even looked for any other way??'' she wanted to push him, sensing that he was trapped somehow....
