No more fights

This trip had been put off enough for Hitame. She wanted to finally come to the Garden of Solace, but she didn't want to rise exposing Naomi to the sadness it might bring them. She felt Naomi was still too young and fragile to truely understand everything that goes in life. Hitame doesn't quite understand either, but she was forced to grow up sooner than she was supposed to so, she understands more. That's why when Hitame woke up that morning, she decided that she was going to visit the Garden of Solace. But she didn't count on Xemnas wanting to go with her.

"I'm your older brother. It's my job to keep you safe." he said, as they walked out the front door and into the front yard. "I can take care of myself. I've been doing it for a long time." she said simply, and she turned away from Xemnas. He grabbed her by her wrist and kept her from running off. "I'm going. I need to go to the Garden of Solace." Xemnas said, more seriously than Hitame had ever heard him. She rolled her eyes. "Fine, but if we meet strangers, I'm not your sister." she said waving her hand slightly. "Hurtful." Xem said in a singsong voice. Hitame laughed and ran ahead of Xemnas.

It didn't take long for them to get there, and as soon as they walked in all the happiness Hitame had seemed to drain from her. The place was beautiful in her opinion, but it couldn't hide the sadness of the place. She walked in stiffly and looked at all the names that were there. She saw one of her friend's name there, and she closed her eyes tightly, to keep tears from coming out. It was unbelieveable, how fast the happiness in her drained.

Alex walked around, his only free day before his mom went back to her Muggle job as a actress and singer, and he was the one who had to go to france with her for a week, it would give him time to upgrade his skills as a FreeRunner, seeing as FreeRunning, or at times called Parkour was invented in France and that is were Alex learned.

He walked around the garden of Solace, parcticing his Karate seeing a cute girl, "I'm Alex."

It was a good thing she had decided to ditch Xem when she did. Hitame didn't like most people seeing her cry. So far only Sophia, Naomi, and Xem say her cry. But she didn't want anyone else to see her cry, so when she heard someone talk to her, say their name, she wiped her eyes quickly, and turned to face the person. She managed to get a small smile on her face to greet him. "I'm Hitame." she introduced herself, extending her hand to shake his. "It's kinda sad here don't you think?" she said, her sadness returning.

Suddenly she felt a presence near them, and she turned her head a little to see who it was. She saw Xem was near them watching, mostly, him to see if he would do something to Hitame. Like usual she just rolled her eyes, and tried to ignore her overprotective older brother. It was weird for her to be watched by someone when it was usually her who watched over them.

Alex looked at her, she was really cute, Alex drank some garden water to calm down from his Karate training, and when she said that it was sad, Alex saw Hitame crying, he put a hand on her back and said, "Don't cry, you'll just get sadder, when my brother was brutally murdered because of me, I never cried, I did scream and break the plasma TV, and throw tables at the hospital, but didn't shed a tear."

Alex looked at her, it was love at first sight, he couldn't stop looking at her eyes.

As soon as Alex put his hand on Hitame's back, Xem jumped into his overprotective brother mode. "Hey, get your hand off her!" he said, raising his voice, trying to sound tough. "Shut up Xem. He was only trying to comfort me." she said softly, wiping her eyes. "He shouldn't be touching you anyways!" he said, as he shot a dirty look at Alex. "Xem stop it, now!" she shouted at him. Xemnas was angry, you could tell just by looking at him. But now only because Alex had his hands on Hitame, but because she was letting him. Hitame never let anyone she didn't know go near her.

Xemnas pulled her away from Alex a little, and whispered in her ear, "There's something off about him. Be careful who your around." he said. "Remember that I trusted someone people I shouldn't have." he told her. Hitame started to get mad. "Would you give it a rest?! I already told you Sammy wasn't herself when she attacked you! Not all vampire's a bad anyways!" she hissed at him. She turned away from him and looked at Alex. She looked at him from head to toe, and noticed there really was something, she wouldn't say off, different about him.

Xem walked up to him and he asked, being very forward, "What are you?" he glared at Alex. "I know you aren't human, so spill." he told him. Hitame didn't stop him this time. She wanted to know if he was human or not as well.

Alex stood up showing the boy he was taller than he was, "I'm Alex," Alex said to the guy, as soon as the guy mentioned that Alex wasn't human. Alex smiled, "I'm Psychic." Alex laughed, he was joking around, but not letting anyone know that, he put his detective skills into gear. He looked at the guy, Xemnas, he had heard that name, Xemnas Charcovix. "You're father and mother, they would've been so proud." Alex said, the boy looked at him surprised, "Don't worry, Xehanort is rotting in Prison." Alex smiled. The guy looked at him bevildered.

Alex looked at the boy.

Xemnas seemed really mad to Hitame, and she didn't want any fights. "I'm not in the mood for any goddamn games!" Xemnas shouted at the boy. Hitame knew that he was lying about the psychic thing, or it was a lie to some extent. "Xem leave him alone already." she told him. Xemnas turned on her now. "Why are you protecting him? You don't even know him!" he shouted at her. Hitame flinched a little at his tone, but she quickly turned on him. "I don't care if I know him or not! I'll protect anyone who I think I should!" she spat at him. Xemnas became even more exfuriated at this. There was something about this kid that was making Hitame act like this, but what. Xemnas had seen this before. She acted like this when she was protecting Samantha and Ryo from him.

Suddenly it hit him. "He's a vampire!" Xemnas shouted in rage. "You always act like this when you protect your stupid vampire friends!" Xemnas continued to shout at her. "They aren't stupid! Sammy is your friend too, you're just too stupid and thickheaded to see that she is!" she shouted back at him. "And don't forget, Ryo saved your life from Sammy when she was evil!" she spat at him. He turned to Alex, and pushed him to the ground. "I might be younger than you, but if you touch my sister I'll kill you!" he hissed at him. "Xem stop it!" she shrieked and she pushed Xemnas to the ground on the opposite side of Alex.

Both of them stopped in their tracks when they heard what Alex said about their parents, and about Xehanort. Xemnas just stared at him with wide eyes. Hitame turned to face him and she blinked a couple of times. "H-how do you know that he killed out parents?" Hitame asked softly. No one should know about that... she thought sadly.
