Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"Oh, hey dear. How have things been since the tournament?" Lizabeth said flashing a smile at the girl as she suddenly turned her attention to a woman screaming outside the restuarant.

"Stay AWAY from ME!" Scarlett snapped as she stomped into the area with Xander following after her with a slap-mark on his face. "B-but, I didn't mean to- I mean, of course I did- but come on Scarlett! At least say yes!" Xander whined as if he was begging to be forgiven.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, Xenlo gave me the idea. He told me that if i did end up dying because of the Plague, then I might as well no leave no ties or more broken hearts behind," Audri said as she started twiddling with her fingers as her hands rested on her lap, "But... But I couldn't bring myself to do such a thing with you Kinta. I was just... I couldn't even think straight with Altessa trying to drive me to insanity with making me feel worthless which, was terribly effective and made me pretty insecure."

Audri stopped her fingers for a moment as she took in another breath, "I love you Kinta. I really do, but there's just... things with my family which made me even more nervous about this relationship with ours. I mean, come on. My brother is going to flip a bitch any moment we're together at all. And Xenlo.... Well, I rather not think about what psychotic Noah shit he would end up doing."

 

"Well, from how I remember it, I think Scarlett is her own person and not even part of Audri. I think something happened where she got her 'soul' put into Audri and ends up as a tiny part of her." Lizabeth commented as she picked up a fork and jabbed at her pasta, "Then again, I don't think that's correct. I'm a little fuzzy on how that all works out with Scarlett, or even with Riri and Alice. I mean... why were they in Audri in the first place?"

Lizabeth was about to answer her own question before the said redhead walked over and grabbed a chair to sit down at the table, "Hey guys. I see that you're doing fine Lizzy." "Yeah, Audri patched me up well. So, what's with you and Xander?"

"He's trying to ask me out, but failing though," Scarlett said growling a little as the Nobody skipped over and clung to Scarlett's back, "Can't I at least get a shot?" "NO!" Scarlett snapped trying to push Xander away as Lizabeth snickered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Audri sat herself up and leaned back on the palms of her hands, "I... I know it's my choice Kinta! I know that Andre has played the demonic hermit while my grandpa tries to make his own existence disappear just because of a clingy lover! It's just..."

Audri put her hands to her head before sighing, "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I just wish that they would just accept who I love. Then again, me talking with you about this isn't going to get me far with convincing Andre and Xander to keep their opinions to themselves. Guess I'm going to just have to, what the thing that Blood says sometimes, 'throw myself into the lion's den' and just deal with what those two protective idiots might do?"

 

"You're so creepy Ranma," Lizabeth muttered as Xander's eyes brightened up, "Will that really work?" "Not really since I will still knows its you," Scarlett scoffed as she kicked Xander in the stomach seeing the man collapse on the ground on his back.

"Can't you just give me one date. At least one?" Xander whined as he got up from the ground as Scarlett glared back at him before sighing, "Will you shut up about it?" "That depends, can I flip your skirt again," Xander said with a smile on her face before he got Scarlett's foot digging into his face.

Lizabeth almost chocked on some pasta as she started to laugh at Xander and Scarlett's antics. "Easy Lizzy, don't die on us!" Scarlett said sweatdropping as the heartless snake smiled a little, "By the way, if Xander is here, where's Andre and Rauxdi?"
"Um, I think there was something involved with flying or something. I'm not really sure what's up," Scarlett said as the looked on Xander's face twisted a little into a grimaced look, "They do some type of flying practice to make sure that Andre doesn't crash into buildings. Now, back to my predicament!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, you never know. My family is mad enough, but I don't think that you're their type," Audri giggled as she pulled her feet out from the water and stood herself back up, "Right then. So, do you want to talk about anything else right now or do something else?"

 

"I dunno, if you want to see it that way," Lizabeth said as Scarlett sweatdrops, "That might be considered incest but I think I'll look into the law for that type of stuff." "Yeah, so... Can we go on a date now?" Xander said poking Scarlett in the back of her head. She whipped her head around and felt her jaw drop as she saw that Xander was at least a few inches taller than her, his hair was a little bit more raggedy, and was wearing some type of black leather clothing.

"Damnnn, you're looking nice!" Scarlett said as she got up to her feet seeing how short she was now compared the the grinning Nobody. "Wow, you could of at least grown a pair instead of a few inches," Lizabeth snickered as the Nobody glared at Lizzy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Audri felt her cheeks burning as she looked over at Kinta. "Yes! I-I mean, sure!" Audri said almost shouting as she was a little excited now.

"Sorry if I sounded a little desperate there. I just... I mean we never go on many dates and such because of the others," Audri said as she looked away a little embarrassed with her actions before she turned back to face him, "Have anything in mind?"

OOC: YAY! ...I think ^_^;

 

"That is half-true. I also kind of have a weird thing for guys who try to act like a bad boy," Scarlett giggled as Xander linked arms with her as the two of them went off on their little adventure of a date.

"Ranma! W-wait up!" Lizabeth stuffed her mouth with another fork of pasta before she made her way trying to leave the restaurant. "You forgot to pay!" One of the waiters shouted after her as Lizabeth pulled a bag of munny out and tossed it back to the waiter, "Keep the change!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That... That would be nice Kinta, a romantic getaway of some sort," Audri said tucking her hair behind her ear with her free hand as she smiled up to him.
"We should probably tell the others that they better find a way to get around then at the least," Audri giggled at the thought of leaving her friends stranded with the moogle brothers for the next week, "Then again, they could deal with things on their own."

(Hmm...... that is quite the predicament. I think Ranma is going to have a rough time while Audri and Kinta is gone. I mean, come on - could he really last a whole week without everyone else trying to pull something on him? XD He's going to need to 'recruit' Riri at the least for... man-power.)

 

Lizabeth found herself standing in the second district having no idea of where Ranma went off to. She never came here that such so she didn't really know herself around that much.
"Well, this puts a damper on things," Lizabeth said to herself as she soon found a bunch of portals opening up and some shadows popping out all over.
"Heh, guess it's time for the next meal now!" Lizabeth said with a wicked grin as she saw the measly heartless.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"T-that doesn't mean that THAT ship is going to smell like sex when we get back!" Audri said getting a little defensive as Riri rolled on the ground before lying on her back grinning, "Yeah, because you're family isn't perverted enough that you'd go and do something fu-"

"Where's Ranma and Lizzy?" Audri asked as she seemed to be oblivious to Ranma and Lizabeth not making comments and making fun of the couple wanting to have some couple 'fun'. "I... Huh, they said something about eating and then never came back. I'm going to go check on them," Riri said as she jumped up to her feet and ran out the door.

OOC: That can work .V.

 

"Well, I was kind of hoping to get a few kisses in here and there before we head off if you want to," Audri said with a sneaky grin on her face thinking about wanting to tackle Kinta with kisses right then and there, but then there was a knock on the door of the moogle's hut.

"You have to be KIDDING me," Audri snapped as she went over and opened the door a little pissed off that her little moment was over as she saw Andre standing there with Rauxdi trying to poke her head from behind the demonic blonde.

"Oh, Andre. What... How did you..." Audri asked as her her mood suddenly changed to her trying to figure out how her brother and Nobody was here before he gestured back to the cavern's entrance, "Saw Riri and Neli running in and out of this way. Also, I kind of want to have a small talk with you about your... relationship with Kinta and-"

"Well, better get this talk over with now then," Audri said as she grabbed Andre and Rauxdi's arm yanking them into the small house. Rauxdi stumbled a little as she was dragged inside while Andre just collapsed on the ground in front of Kinta's feet. Andre looked up seeing the silver-haired man before turning her head back over to Audri as she closed the door, "I would take it that you decided to not break up with him?"
"Andre, do you really have to point out the obvious?" Rauxdi asked as she helped the blonde man off the floor as he looked at the Nobody sheepishly, "Hey, I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page!"

 

"We promise not to break anything and hope to get out of your hair quicker than you can say... moogle fries!" Audri said trying to think of something catchy, but it just made Rauxdi and Andre look over at Audri oddly.

"What? I'm hungry and I didn't eat yet," Audri said defensively as Rauxdi took a seat down and Andre walked over to his sister looking down at her. Not saying anything.
And this is making Audri a little worried. "Audri... I-" "Don't start Andre. Please, let me say something first," Audri said as she cut off her brother as she walked around him and went over to Kinta's side.

"I know that you hate the fact that I'm dating Kinta. Maybe it's because of your grudge of me almost being killed when we were little, maybe you just felt threatened, I really don't know what your deal was. But I'm telling you now that I chose Kinta because I did. I wanted to. I fell in love." Audri said as she felt herself grab Kinta's hand as she stood by his side as Rauxdi and Andre looked at the two lovers.
"S-so, I don't care if you or Xenlo end up hating Kinta for your stupid little grudge that had to do with the past because this is the future. Our futures to be more exact," Audri said feeling a little sheepish after that last statement as she tried to blink back the tears in her eyes, "but let me ask you this. I... I don't understand why you're so... mad at me for trying to date Kinta. A few years ago when I first told you I met Akira, and even now, you still look like you're filled with so much hate."

"I was scared. I was nervous, I was just unhappy and didn't know what to do next." Andre said after a few minutes as he saw his sister in tears, "I... I was scared of losing the only actual family that I actually have. I mean, we're siblings! We're supposed to support our siblings, not... throw ourselves out of each other's lives! Seeing you in love and all, it made me scared of losing you and who knows the next time I would of seen you!"
Audri stood there giving Kinta's hand a squeeze as Andre walked in front of her and stopped a foot away, "But, I can see that I was being completely selfish and making an ass out of myself when I should of been supporting your happiness."
"Wait does that mean-" Audri cut herself off as Andre nodded with a faint smiling on his face, "Sure, you guys can keep dating. I won't like it, but maybe I can at least try to get along and maybe get to know Kinta more."

 

"Oh, um ok," Audri said as she looked at the others not sure if they should leave yet or wait until Neli's better.

"If that 'plan' of yours is important to whatever you're going to do, we can wait around until she's better and regroup back with the others," Rauxdi said trying to reassure the blonde girl as something sparkled in her eyes, "Really?"
"Do we have to?" Andre whined as Rauxdi sent him a glare that made him stand up and walk around the room, "S-sure Audri, we'll stay here."

"Wow, Florence isn't kidding. You really do know when a guy is 'whipped'," Audri said out loud, forgetting to mention to Kinta about the whole plan of her and Lizabeth switching bodies, but she'll take the heat later for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ranma, let me in the room," Lizabeth whined as she stood in the hallway knocking her head against the door. Riri peeked her head into the entrance of the hotel wondering if any of her friends were around here. She almost left but she noticed Lizabeth groaning about something and smacking her head against a door. "What in god's blazes are you doing?" Riri asked getting the heartless girl's attention as Lizabeth pointed to the door whining, "Ranma won't let me in!"

"What are you trying to accomplish by getting in his hotel room?" Riri asked as she trotted over to where Lizabeth is standing while Lizabeth had this wicked grin appear on her face.

"Oh, look Ranma! Here's Riri, the one you secretly want to fu-" Lizabeth was cut off as Riri slapped her hands over the snake's mouth. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Do you want everyone in this hotel to get the wrong idea?!" Riri hissed as Lizabeth pulled the fox girl's hands off her mouth whispering back, "Hey, it might work!"

 

"Yeah, but I still think he probably would just kick you around a little bit. He'd probably hate you more and try to destroy you if he really was still mad about you being human," Audri said poking him in the chest before smiling at him, "Although he might not be my first choice, he's always a reliable hand to ask for help."

Audri blushed a little as she noticed that she was rambling before she grabbed Kinta's hand, "Shall we get going then?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"AHHH!! MY FAAACE!" Lizabeth screamed as she tried to cover her face with her hands as she tried to run away from the newspaper beating arm. Riri just stood by and let out a chuckle before she looked up at Ranma with a cheesy smile on her face, "Can I come in and sleep? Pretty PREETTEH please?"
