Day 28: Bus 2

Momo tugged on the collar of the light blue sweater she was wearing as she followed her nurse to wherever these buses were, winding her hair up into its customary bun as she went. It was an odd feeling, knowing she was about to go outside of the institute's borders. Maybe the Head Doctor was about to make an error and the shinigami, as well as everyone else, would no longer be limited and they could finish what they started several nights back.

That was probably too much to hope for. She was feeling better this morning, even with the blood moon, and was mildly looking forward to the bus ride. Captain Jack said he was going to be here this morning and even if it wasn't customary breakfast in the cafeteria, she's be satisfied with him sitting next to her on the bus.


The nurse handed her a muffin, some napkins, and a small box with a straw. She stared at this box for a moment before shaking it. From the sound it contained liquid. How odd... Momo wasn't sure why they would but liquid inside a small paper box - it didn't make any sense to her and she wasn't sure how one was supposed to get it out of the box.

Clambering onto an empty bus, Momo chose to sit in the very back near the emergency exit. Maybe she could force her way out of it as they were moving and escape the limiter enough to come back and level the institute, freeing everyone. Or maybe she just wanted to be able to see everyone that was on the same bus as her. Wishful thinking versus reality.

"You? Getting in his way? Princess, if that were the case then he wouldn't bothered searching the whole galaxy for you." Axel informed in a matter-of-factly tone, finishing his muffin after another bite. Without warning he suddenly stood and leaned over Kairi to open the window, tossing the wrapper out as quickly as he could before pushing it back up and sitting back down.

The redhead wasn't too comfortable about the way the conversation was turning, shifting uneasily and chose not to comment on Riku's portion of the story. However, Axel grinned at Kairi's last statement, shrugging lazily at her comeback. The thought of tackling Sora into a dumpster was an amusing one, but there were cleaner things he could do to tease the brunet.

"Figures that girls like you would ruin all my fun. Maybe I should change my mind and you can wander around on your own."

There was that Princess thing again. Turning to glare daggers at Axel once more, she opened her mouth to speak – but shut it soon after when the redhead suddenly threw the wrapper out the window. “… I’m sure there’s a garbage around here. Did you really need to litter?”

Snorting, Kairi turned towards Axel once more with a faux-pout, and she looked up at him through her lashes with sad eyes. “Oh, fine. If you don’t want to hang out with me, I’ll understand. I don’t want to force you to hang around with someone you don’t even like …” Turning her head to the side, she let out a pretend shuddered sigh and lifted her hand to rib at her dry eyes.

Pretending to cry was her strong point, after all.

After a few moments of this charade, Kairi turned back to Axel with a smile. “But really. Do you want to walk around with me or not?”

"No one's going to die with just one wrapper. And besides, the thing's probably biodegradable anyway." Axel openly debated with a teen, pointing a forefinger upwards as if lionizing what could've been a wide known fact. Of course, the redhead was just pulling some fancy BS out of nowhere, but he was used to that considering the situations he were usually stuck with.

However, his finger drooped when Kairi began her own sob act, watching the master at its work before rolling his eyes with much exaggeration. He had to admit, the girl was good, and if he didn't already know about her wickedly demonic side then he would've been pretty fooled with her act.

"I haven't got any qualms about it," Axel answered with a playful shrug. "As long as you don't drag me anywhere particularly girly then there isn't much for me to complain about."

“Well, darn. I guess that means I can’t drag you somewhere to get my nails and hair done, can I?” Grinning at Axel for a moment, Kairi then fixed her gaze upon the window.

“You know,” The young girl started, her fingers lifting up once again to press against the glass in a curious way, “I’ve never really seen anything like fall before. We didn’t really have different seasonal changes on the island other than hot, really hot, or melt your face off hot.”

By this time Kairi realized she was babbling and quickly shut her mouth. Turning away from the window, she looked down at her lap sadly; a twinge of homesickness began to burn in her heart.

Suddenly forcing herself to pop out of her personal woeboat, Kairi turned to Axel and tilted her head to the side and opened her mouth once again in an attempt to change the conversation. “Do you want my muffin?”

"What am I, your garbage disposal?" He retorted with a dramatic snort, though snatched the muffin anyhow and took a big bite out of it. Axel didn't mind so much with Kairi's rambling, especially since it managed to drown out all the other noise that was occurring all over the bus.

"Anyway, you're going to regret it once you do get hungry." The redhead warned, stealing another bite from the muffin before balancing it on one leg. There wasn't much else to talk about when it came to what they did and what they'll do, so Axel was quick to throw in another subject.

"I wish I brought a deck of cards." He sighed out as he shifted his weight on the seat. "At least we could play strip poker before we got there."

“I’m not really all that hungry anymore.” Kairi replied to Axel’s food comment with a slight shrug, turning to watch him practically inhale her muffin.

At his comment about strip poker, the once Princess rolled her eyes before proceeding to glare daggers at the redhead. “Geez, what is it with you and trying to get me to take my shirt off? First it was two nights ago when you were all ‘oh, why don’t we take our shirts off and kiss!’, and now this!” Leaning back in her seat, Kairi crossed her arms over her chest as a soft blush began to cover her cheeks. “Boys are so weird.”

Turning to look back at Axel once she was sure her cheeks were back to normal, Kairi tilted her head to the side and frowned. “You could always ask Luxord for some cards, you know. Or steal them.”
