I felt my eyes begin closing when suddenly someone...no two people....entered my room. I sat up and then jumped up.
"RaXi?!" I said somewhat dazedly.
"You have a visitor Triskix..." RaXi answered. As she walked in, Minx followed. The tenseness of battle shot straight through me. I formed my scythe in an instant ready to beat some sense into the girl.
"She comes to talk. Put that away." RaXi ordered. The shock of hearing her voice sound so angry made my scythe vanish.
"But I have to go now. So take care...and don't do anything stupid." RaXi continued. Then she turned and started walking into a portal. I looked at Minx who just looked back at me.
"Gee...thanks a lot RaXi." I sighed. A somewhat laugh escaped RaXi as she walked through the portal. Once she was gone, I turned my attention to Minx. She just continued to stare at me.
"Why are you here," I started.
"I....I want to know," Minx answered looking me boldly in the eyes.
"Know what," I asked somewhat harshly. I didn't want to have this conversation. It was making enemies way too personal......
"I can't remember!" Minx yelled back at me. "I want to remember! I want to know! I want to know who.......who are Nim and Kristain? Who are they?!"
"Haven't we already had this discussion?" I asked. "Nim is Kristain's sister. You are Nim and I am Kristain."
"No!" Minx shouted back. "No no no no no no no no! I am not Nim! I am Minx and that is all I am! Why do you haunt me Triskix! Why do you make all these memories and things come! Why! They aren't mine!"
"Don't argue with me. Minx is Nim with an X in it. You are Nim's nobody. I know that much. I don't make memories you are just hiding them from yourself or are having someone hide them for you." I answered back.
"Stop it! I don't want...." Minx started.
"Then why did you come here?" I asked glaring at her now.
"I......" Minx started. "I came to......to know......to know who I am.....and why I came into being......I want to know...."
I waited for a bit as Minx glared at me. Finally I found the words...
"Fine then....I'm not sure what happened exactly," I answered back. "But apparently you were created after I left Kristian again."
"Wha-" Minx started but I ignored her.
"During the ten year period after the fall of Organization 13, I traveled by myself and eventually came across a boy and his sister. The boy and I were the same....two halves. And he had been looking for me for a long time. His name was Kristian. The girl's name was Nim....his sister....Kristain and I came together and were whole for a while. But.....I wanted to go home....back to Castle Oblivion......and finally I reached the surface of Kristian's mind until he wanted to go back just as badly. So Nim....the angelic child, split Kristian and me apart again. And I left. That is all I know," I answered.
"So.......you left......after you were whole......" Minx started.
Suddenly she grabbed her head and started crying out in pain. I wasn't sure what to do. She continued to cry, and finally I just leaned down and picked her up. She wasn't heavy at all, and I sat her on my bed and waited for her to stop.
"I...I....I remembered something," Minx said quietly.Mirrors were starting to apear around her. I took a few steps back.
"I remember.....that I was,no. Nim and Kristian....had never been apart...until you left him again....and then he left to go find you....Nim was...was so lonely....after Kristian left...so lonely....so lonely Triskix!" Minx said quietly her hands on her face. "I was so lonely! Why! Why! Why did you leave! Why did you make Kristian leave! Nim....was so lonely....and.....I was so lonely...and....Nim...made me...."
Minx looked up at me her blue eyes trying to see straight through me. They were questioning eyes as well as eyes filled with something else I couldn't quite place.
"She made me....to play with so it made waiting easier," Minx said quietly. "But I was lonely...I was...Nim's loneliness....I wanted someone else....I wanted to find someone....someone Nim was looking for....Kristian....Triskix....I...."
I didn't move. I didn't breathe. I was the one who made Minx....I caused Kristian to leave....and Nim made Minx.... I felt a pang of pain run though me. The Leader had been listening in!
Suddenly a portal opened, and the Leader stepped through clapping his hads.
"Well done well done Triskix, Minx, well done both of you," he laughed. "You two figured out quite an interesting puzzle. I was wondering how Xerebus had managed to get a nobody like you little miss Minx. Or should I say little miss Nim? Heh either way. Now then Triskix. Take this prisoner to the cells."
"What!" I nearly shouted.
Minx stared at the Leader somewhat dumb-struck.
"I.....you...." Minx started.
"Yes me," the Leader said.
Nim's eyes seemed to widen even more. The Leader smirked from beneath his hood and reached out to grab Minx's arm.
"Kristian Help!" Minx shouted.
I reacted before I could think. An explosive fireball smashed into the wall inches from the Leader. He turned and looked at me.
"Let her go," I glared. "I won't have this Xra-"
"Stop!" the Leader yelled. "Do not disrespect me Triskix. She is a weapon of the other organization, and I will break this weapon...."
"I won't have you do this," I snarled back. "Let her go back to Xerebus."
The Leader gave me a look and started flying though my mind. He tore at everything mercilessly. Every though every emotion was being shredded and then laughed at.
"Kristian!" Minx shouted.
A mirror came crashing at the Leader and he dodged away. Minx glared at the Leader with solid black eyes. Mirrors started forming all through out the room and they slowly changed to nobodies.
"Minx! Leave!" I yelled. "Leave now!"
Minx gave me a terrified look but finally opened a portal and ran though. The Leader got up as the mirrors began to fade. I felt the sudden rush in my mind and everything began to slip away.
"From now on," the Leader's cold voice said menacingly. "Every time you see Minx.....you will not hesitate to kill her. Form this pact."
I felt my grasp of things begin to fade and slowly I sighed.
"Fine," I answered not really sure what I had just said fine to. It was all a strange blur....Another pact bond formed and slowly the realization of what I just did hit me.
"Good," the Leader said smirking. "I'm glad we're on the same page."
----
Minx jumped out of the portal and hit the ground hard. She was back at Citadel Abyss. She shook quietly and fearfully. So....that was..... Minx thought to herself.
Suddenly Emrix appeared and was helping her up.
"Where did you go Minx? Are you ok?" Emrix asked cautiously.
"I....I....." Minx said unsure of what to say....."Where is Xerebus-sama! I hate to see him! I....."
"Xerebus......is out Minx," Emrix said calmly.
