As I thought...by the mere mention of a connection between Triskix and that girl....he'd gone totally pale. I found that I indeed knew him better than he expected...probably. What they all didn't know...was how observant I was...I had always studied everyone's expressions and body language. This was all part of training as well. You could read much more from a person's actions...than their words. I'd memorized all of Marluxia's actions...>.>
"For your first question.....The Leader wanted me to use the Queen to get at Organization Zero.... that's the rival group's name...," He started, "I knew the Queen personally for a while in the ten years that everyone has been away from the castle.....the Leader found evidence that the Queen and Organization Zero were connected.....so he wanted to use me to get information...."
"So you were trying to get information.....but..." I started.
"But Minx ruined it...or rather......the Queen made it impossible for her to live by connecting herself to Zero...." He finished sighing. "And as for Minx.....she's a different matter all together..." I could tell he was slightly hesitant...but I couldn't help myself. I had to know...even just a little more about what Hell Triskix had endured. If it'd been anything like my own...
"How do you know her?" I pressed, "A friend of yours during the ten years?"
"No," He answered, "I kept myself away from everything during the ten years....Minx....is...I guess the best word would be a sister....but neither of us are really related."
"What do you mean?" I asked, "Nobodies aren't related. Just as you said, Nobodies aren't born they're made. Nobodies don't have family....."
"Well....heh.....you know.....Ari.....had family...." He rebounded. I felt my eye twitch once more at the mention of her name. It all felt like an ill omen to me...as though I'd be meeting her again soon...now that her name seemed to come up so often with Triskix.
"Triskix," I growled sharply, my fist was clenched tightly. I wanted to tell him how her "so called family" Sold her off without a second thought...how they hadn't come back for her...how they betrayed and abandoned her. Yet the words wouldn't come...
"But....maybe you never though......but Kristian had family too..." He just continued. "And he had....a sister....named Nim.....Nimra was her full name, but she despised it and had everyone call her Nim...."
"And Minx is Nim's nobody," I continued...calming down.
"Yep," He answered, "But I don't know how Minx came into being....I was sure that Nim would never lose her heart....so it is a question....of......"
"Of how," I concluded for him.
"Ya," He answered, "And so....in a sense. Minx is my sister."
"Triskix....when you were fighting earlier.....you looked ready to kill.....and you knew Minx was Nim's nobody....."
"I know," He responded, "I'm kinda at a crossroad right now....part of me demands that Minx be destroyed......but another part keeps seeing Nim.....it is annoying to say the least.."
"I understand fully." I spoke quietly. A clear image of the past Vincent appearing before my eyes. "Though my situation is Quite different..."
"RaXi...I..." Triskix started.
"I know...thank you so very much. I'm only sorry I made you endure that." I answered. I knew he was about to tell me he'd kept my secret. Triskix seemed to be coming back...he was....kinder....
"Heh..." He scoffed. "That was nothing. I'm not so weak as to fall from such minor pain."
"Yet it was there nonetheless." I dismissed. My face was giving him a sympathetic look...I knew it. Forcing a grin, I tried to look determined. "So what is our next move? Do we report this to the Leader...or shall we head to the worlds ourselves...and stop their plans?"
"The Leader already knows what's going on..." Triskix informed me. That's right...he knew everything going on with Triskix.
"Fine then. Let's check out the worlds not being inspected by the others." I suggested. "You and I shall prove more than enough of a threat should any dare attack us. It'll be just like old times huh? Out on a mission together...Fire and Ice." I laughed, reminiscing.
He looked at me with what appeared to be a slight smile.
"Unless...if you prefer we split ways..." I suddenly thought. "I mean...I know I can handle this on my own if you so choose. Yet, I believe we should go together. After all...the Leader did order me to assist you...and while I hate listening to that man...who else will be there to cool you off...if your flame should burn too high?" I passed it off as though it were for him...yet...I suppose I too feared going alone versus Organization Zero. Should I encounter Xerebus...I didn't believe I'd be able to control myself. So in a sense...I needed Tris to keep me stable...just as much if not more than he needed me...
