A bunch of gorgeous pics~!

RIGHT HERE! Axel, Marluxia, Demyx, Namine, Etc!

Birth By Sleep

Finally started it! Finally! It's excellent, of course, and it's also typical of all Kingdom Hearts Games: Seems easy, until you get to a boss. Then, you either get too complacent or the BOSS IS TOUGH.

Where is Terra?

Fighting Braig. I know who that guy is! I remember him from KH2. Hell on Earth, then, hell on Earth NOW! :(

SOOOOOOO HAAARD! And I know that this isn't even HALFWAY through the game. At least Demyx was at the "cental/halfway" point of the game, yanno?

Can't wait to see what the other bosses are going to be like.

OHHH!!

What a lovely graphic of Demyx: http://weheartit.com/entry/39216964

WINNER!

Roxas won the prize! Congrats! 358/2 is picking up a little more now. Demyx still seems very distant. Almost like he's talking to Roxas for the sake of doing it, and then just doing whatever he wants. He is with Saix when Xion finally went with Roxas though. Interesting. Maybe a coincidence.

Axel is now at Castle Oblivion and seems to think that Saix is being decietful about certain orders.

I do find 358/2 a little difficult to control sometimes. I think it would work on the PS3 because the controls are different. What works on a big console can be awkward on a handheld. Then again, I have yet to start Birth By Sleep, so who knows?

Anyway, Roxas is now with Xion and they must deal with a powerful enemy. Fun.

Birth By Sleep

Before I say anything, I just found out that antifisis, a Demyx livejournal community was deleted and PURGED! I didn't even notice this! For a journal to be purged, it would need to have been deleted for 30 days. Yikes. How sad since that was such a large community. Sure, activity wasn't that great for quite some time, but to delete it? At least keep it as an "archive" place. I don't run the community, but still. A sad loss for Demyx fans, I'm sure. Don't know what you have until it's gone. Oh well.

Anyway, I've seen BBS videos on Youtube, but I haven't seen any. Nine days left until the release date and I still haven't read much about it. Avoiding spoilers. Oh yes! From what I've seen, it looks great! Not much of a shock there since the PSP is a powerful system.

358/2

Oh dear, looks like the prices have dropped by a few dollars. Hell, if I waited a little longer, I could have gotten it for free! Lol! Not that I regret pre-ordering it since it came with a nice sleeve, but Star Ocean 2 has eaten me alive, so everything Kingdom Hearts, except for the blog itself, has been put on hold.


I always make sure to post at least once a week. I used to update EVERY DAY! Heh. Lowering the frequency worked out for the best.

There is one thing that I'd like to say: I think it would be interesting to see Sora and co. take on Gabriel from Star Ocean 2. I know that the Star Ocean series is Tri-Ace, but Square/Enix publishes the games. Sora and co. already have difficult optional bosses, but I'd love to see them tackle Gabriel with his Limiter Off. I bet he'd give Sephiroth a run for his money! Course, there's also the Iseria Queen and Gabriel Celeste. They'd be interesting fights too.

Would it happen? Probably not since Kingdom Hearts has plenty of villains as it is, but you never know. I also have a feeling that there'll be a Kingdom Hearts Dissidia sort of things too. I said that already a couple months ago, but it's something to point out again.

Axel vs. Demyx! AHAHAHAHHAAHH!

OH! I didn't see that coming! Still, Luxord could have done more.

So, according to the "BIG THREE" sites of Kingdom Hearts, Luxord will be partnering with Roxas to ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Honestly, I really didn't think that would happen. I forgot about the cards in that world, but Port Royale was soooo suitable to Luxord since he has the demeanor of a James Bond-like anti-hero pirate gambler without the gadgeteering Bond is known for. I mean, he's no "Jack Sparrow", but who says he has to be? Add in the ability to control time, and Port Royale would have been very interesting. Then again, setting things in the distant past/future or whenever Luxord sees fit would have given Kingdom Hearts a new dimension.

Not only would Sora have to deal with new worlds, he would also have had to deal with those same worlds in certain time periods. It's happened before in the "black/white" world in KH2, but Luxord wasn't involved with that. At least as far as I know, he wasn't.

I can really see why Nomura says that "Luxord could have done more" because you know what? He damned well could have. He could have been an Anti-Balthier. Gambler/Pirate with all the charm, but little to none of the morals. Depending on the extent of his powers to control time, he would have slowed things down, sped them up, draw Sora well into the past, the distant future, or reappear at a time Sora and co. are long gone since time devours everyone, except for those who can control it. He could even use the element to save other Organization members if he wanted to. Course, he'd be more interested in saving himself.

The only problem is that the overuse of the Time element would have overcomplicated Kingdom Hearts. I mean, it's not Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross and shouldn't be treated as such, but time seems to be a "biggie" element in Kingdom Hearts because Twilight Town is known for that huge clock, and the Peter Pan world has Big Ben standing out like a sore thumb. I even remember Traverse Town having a clock in the square. However, water "sticks out" in Kingdom Hearts too and Demyx had very little screentime in KH2. Plus, they're nice clocks, but they're still clocks.

Even without his ability to control time, he's basically a game master who plays to win and isn't afraid of risks. His cards are weapons along with his words and he would have made a fine "adviser" type at the very least. Life is a game to him, and he fully intends to play it balls to he wall while making sure that the deck is stacked in his favor.

Sort of a Seto Kaiba, only with more finesse and doesn't slouch when losing. Luxord has nothing to prove, knows "when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, and when to walk away when the dealing's done"(The Gambler by Kenny Rogers). That song should be Luxord's theme.

I REALLY can see why Luxord's Nomura's favorite Organization member. He's just not too much of a fan favorite. It's the goatee. Got to be.

Uh-oh! Another missed day!

Heh, yea I know, it's been happening a little more often, but at least it's not too often. Anyway, there's been an awful lot of buzz about Jump Festa and I can see why. I myself can't wait for the 358/2 Days trailer/demo to come out. I wonder if Demyx will be included this time. Seems that everyone BUT him are around in game info. :/

Yay Demyx month! Day 1

Lookie! I changed the colors. Looks more tranquil now(and boy does Axel stick out even further now). I have the Axel banner up on this page for one last time because it looked so nice. It can still be used as a link banner.

Anyway, I'll get the Demyx banner up shortly.

Aqua/Ven, Demyx

Do I think that Aqua/Ven are lovers?

No, I don't think they are. Clearly close friends, or brother/sister sort, but I doubt they were lovers. Then again, there's still not much known about them, so who knows?

I' ve always wondered what Xemnas wanted with her though. I did see the scene of him in Hollow Bastion, and while I don't know what he said, it's clear that he was talking to her. It took place while Sora was talking to Mickey and right before the battle with Demyx.

Aqua represents Water. So does Demyx and he also controls it. Goofy is knocked out after Demyx is defeated and Sora, of course, freaks out, but is forced to leave. What happened in the meantime? What happened while Sora cried out to Goofy? I've said to before and I've said it again, things like that don't happen in stories for no good reason. We already know that the situation is dangerous, so there had to be another reason. Some KH fans theorize that it was to prevent Roxas from awakening after Demyx's death. Others? Well, I don't know since it's not often talked about.

Demyx is the "center" of it all, so to speak. I mean, to me, the game is divided into "Before Demyx" and "After Demyx". The defining battle of the game(1000 Heartless), Xemnas's appearance and Sora's first meeting with Axel since COM happened AFTER Demyx.

But, why would Xemnas speak with Aqua BEFORE the fight with Demyx? What did he want with her? I refuse to believe that Demyx was just a "distraction", especially considering that the conversation with Aqua took place right "Before Demyx".

I just want to believe that Demyx was more than just minor "comic relief".

Character

Sometimes I think even reading about character interpretations are an exercise in frustration. Discussing them can be too. Which is why I don't often bother.

Looks like Demyx will be the character that continues to divide the fandom. Honestly, I think most of the "divisiveness" is found around him. What his personality is, whether he is the "good one" or just as "mean" as the rest of the Organization, who he's paired with, who he isn't paired with, bla bla bla.

The manga doesn't seem to make it any better, but I guess there will always be splits in such a large fandom as Kingdom Hearts. I mean, Harry Potter is even worse. Heh.

Kairi's escape

Speaking of the Kairi theory, KH Insider had a forum thread about how Kairi may have escaped. Some of them chose a more humorous theory: She kicked him in the nads. Bless their hearts. However, some cite the novels in saying that Saix beat the tar out of Axel and nabbed Kairi himself.

Hmmm...at face value, that makes some sense, and I'm sure that Vexen, Zexion, AND Saix fans would have just LOVED that. However, it would only make sense, BEFORE Sora reached Betwixt and Between. However, Saix encountered Sora after the battle of 1,000 Heartless and well before B/B. At that time, Axel looked perfectly fine(in more ways than one, huuuur), so he couldn't have been beaten then. Unless, Saix was so sure that he would get Kairi that he made it sound like he already had her.

Axel encounters Sora, but Kairi is somewhere else, Saix catches Axel and chases him. When Saix catches up to Axel, he takes Kairi, leaving Axel to die. That would explain why Axel sacrificed himself for Sora--he was already dying, so he decided to go on his terms(which is very Axel).


Blagh. I like my truck theory better. The thing is, the Saix beating Axel only comes from the novel, so it isn't "game canon". Because, think about it, wouldn't something like that be a sight to behold for some of the fans? You can bet that some people would have LOVED it, while Axel fans would be dying.

I just think that Kairi got away before Hollow Bastion(she kicked him in the nads or something), Saix gets her, Axel goes to Sora, Saix finds him, ??????, Sora finds Axel again, Axel dies.

Blafg, I guess we'll never really know since not everyone is going to read the novel/manga. I guess this is where "using your imagination" comes in.

Personally, I've always wondered why Mickey gets in front of Sora before the fight with Demyx.

Manga Manga and Wrecked Truck

Yes, I'm aware of Chapter 14 Manga for KH2. Check kh_press on livejournal as I'm too lazy to link. Anyway, I'm not understanding why people seem to think it's "canon". I know that Nomura looks at the script, but to me, it's just a "crack" version of the game itself. Of, "Manga Canon", which would be like Yu-Gi-Oh.

And of course Demyx is eating chips, he's all that and a bag of chips. I bet it's sour cream/onion. Yum!

As for Axel and Namine, yea it figures he'd criticize her sewing since Axel always struck me as the sort who made/fixed most of his own clothes. I don't know why. I just always thought he would. I'm still kind of confused as to when exactly he leaves the Organization. I knew he did, but never really when.

Before playing the game, I thought he had left BEFORE fighting Roxas, and had his own group. Then I thought that he left after fighting Roxas the second, and THEN I thought he left after Demyx's death or soon after. Blagh. I also thought that he spent time away from the Org at first and then returned only to be told to take Kairi, and Axel "obeyed" (yea right), but was playing double agent. Oh sure, do as he's told, but keep Kairi for himself(or for Namine , really, since it would have benefited her too). Didn't work out though as Saix is like the Ultimate Foil for Axel. I have a theory on what happened too. It involves the wrecked truck that is symbolism for me.

Axel takes Kairi back to the City, but knows that he can't port through there because he'd get caught. He's not going to take Kairi to the Castle, instead, he wants to take her elsewhere(to Namine or just elsewhere period, so he could use her for his mean plans of getting Roxas *chu chu chu* back). So, he puts her in the truck, planning on driving her to the area where he can port without being seen by other members or Heartless. Kairi is shocked and well:

Kairi: Can you even drive this thing?
Axel: I can drive anything.

And yea, he can, actually. At least I'd like to think so. He drives through the city, but towards the memory sky scraper, Saix appears. Axel, being the bad ass that he is, floors it, and a horrified Kairi tries to stop him by grabbing the wheel and the truck ends up tipping over. Kairi crawls out, making sure to step on Axel along the way, and opens the back of the truck to get Pluto. As she tries to run, Saix nabs her and takes her to the Castle. Alone, Axel gets the hell out of dodge, and is more stunned than anything.

See, Axel prides himself on having control. When he drives, he sees it as a form of powerful control(this is why kinks like pedal pumping and car/driving scenes are so popular), and has never lost it. In Chain of Memories, he has complete control. He's firmly behind the wheel, he shifts smoothly, with no lurching, and he never stalls. Every turn is perfect, acceleration is flawless, and no one dares get in his way(he brakes for no one). In Kingdom Hearts two, the gears stick, the clutch doesn't seem to work properly, and even if the vehicle is fine, Axel somehow spins out of control anyway. In the case of the truck, Kairi is the one who grabs the wheel and causes the wreck.

One other version of this theory is that Saix is the one who causes Axel to lose control. Axel tries to run him over, but Saix vanishes, causing him to slam on the brake and overcompensate. Kairi takes advantage of the situation, by hopping out of the truck, and saving Pluto, but leaving Axel because she owes him nothing.

The point is that the wreck is what Axel himself becomes because of his desperation to see Roxas just one more time.


To be honest though, I'm still not sure if he kidnapped Kairi on his own accord or if he really was under Orders by the Org. I still haven't gone through the Final mix as I'm waiting for the subs of Basement Chain of Memories. I guess it doesn't matter, because it's obvious that he wanted to use Kairi for his own purposes. Question is, if the truck theory proves to be right, who would cause Axel's loss of control? Did it start with Axel thinking that he rules the world because he brought a Castle to it's knees? Did it start with Roxas leaving the Organization? Was it Kairi who grabbed the wheel? Or was it the very presence of Saix, Axel's most bitter enemy, who caused Axel to step on it without thinking, and then in a split second tried and failed to regain control? All the above maybe? Knowing Axel, it probably was.

I don't think we'll ever know, but it's interesting to think about if you like the idea of Axel behind the wheel or a vehicle. Seems that much of the fandom doesn't though because they think he'd be scary.

Character months

I guess the Axel/Roxas vids just aren't going anywhere...Oh well.

Anyway, the KH fandom tends to do fandom things by MONTHS. This month was supposed to be "Zexion Month", and it turned out to be uneventful. Next month is Saix month, and it will be an interesting and eventful one, that's for sure. I hope Saix likes Harry Potter because both the latest movie and the final book will be out that month. And, of course July 4th is Saix/Vexen day! YAY for the few fans of that pairing(I'm one of them). Saix/Axel day should be pretty interesting too. But, July has always been an eventful month in terms of movies, books and, of course summer things. I wonder what day the full moon falls on. Also, a new wave of "Springkink" on LJ starts that month too.

However, since Saix is not worshiped in the fandom, I don't expect much from them, but the first week should yield some results. Still, July is always an interesting month.

August will be dreadful for those who hate Axel. Days I'm interested in would be the 9th, and the 13th(Oh christ, Axel/Roxas day....aaaaag). Whatever day, I expect a TON of Axel stuff in August. However, August itself is not very eventful at all unless you count Band Camp(something I did in High School) or school starting. Otherwise, there isn't much going on, except for The Burning Man, which overlaps into September, and the Sturgis Biker Rally if you're a biker. Heh. I can't forget that since I lived in South Dakota as a little girl and Bikers tend to go to South Dakota in droves during August.

Fandom, however, will explode with Axel stuff, I'm sure. Oh, and I got into the fandom around August 19th, and I became a member of Something Awful around that time too. Heh.

September is Demyx month! YAY, and it's fairly eventful in terms of Greek festivals, Labor Day weekend, Dragon Con(if you're into that sort of thing), my birthday(Hey, it's eventful to me!). Course beyond the first ten days, nothing seems to happen that I know of. As for fandom expectations, I also think that there'll be lots of fandom stuff since Demyx is part of the "Golden Trio". In terms of pairings, Xigbar/Demyx, Zexion/Demyx, and my favorite, Axel/Demyx will be the days to watch if you're not choosy in who to pair him with. Oh, and I just remembered, Southern Decadence is in September. That's Mardi Gras for gays, but that's also during Labor Day weekend.

Incedently, most of Demyx fandom stuff explodes in the first thirteen days, so like the month itself, nothing much happens beyond the end of early September. Then again, you never know with the KH fandom, and the Demyx wing tends to flap insanely when they get the chance to, so will see.

Luxord is October, the heart of Autumn, Oktoberfest, Mullet Festival, and of course, Halloween. However, he is also not well loved in the fandom, so I expect little.

I think we all know what's beyond that, and I do expect a little more in the Marluxia and Larxene months because of the COM Remake.

Codez1

I predict that kh-vids.net will find a code that puts Demyx in the party. He's got to be in high demand.

Okay, so it's a hope, but it would be interesting, that's for sure.

Tone, you say?

Over on Kh-2.net, a little tidbit that caught my eye came up:

[There is an image that didn't appear in the series but had some sentences that appeared on it. This image was shown in the Square-Enix Party. Inside the image, the words "This tone?" appears.]

I'm well aware of what else was said, but "this tone" certainly got me. Tone could be anything from the shade of a color to the tone of voice, or sound? Asking, "This tone?" sounds like someone asking about a certain color, but it could also be someone wondering how loud someone has to be or what musical note must be used. Honestly, it made me think of Demyx since NOT being tone deaf is one of the things you need to be a muscician.

I don't know what's going on though. The new project isn't KHIII, but I'm guessing that it's the one year between Kingdom Hearts: COM and Kingdom Hearts II. Sort of a "filler" or "sidestory". If it's on handheld, then I can only hope someone will post it on YouTube because the only new handheld I'm going near is the PSP.

Also, the "forget" part sounds an awful lot like Demyx too since he tends to do that. Hurr.

Jesus Christ!

So, KhInsider tends to have a "theory of the week". I didn't know a Kingdom Hearts message board could be full of that. Not the first time I've been wrong. Course given how well-thought out many KH theories tend to be, I can see why there is a "theory of the week" over at such a large site.

This was the chosen one.

I can see why. Just wow.

Once again, I have yet to see "Sunset Horizons", so I don't know what to say about those. However, I do get tired of the constant attempts to connect Axel and Riku. The only connection I can see is really just a parallel. Both of them have best friends. Yay. Course once I finally got the COM timeline right, I figured that Axel see Sora/Riku at Castle Oblivion. He likes what he sees and wants a friendship like that for himself, preferably with the newbie Roxas. Axel always struck me as someone so desperate for such a friendship(Demyx just won't put out, damnit!), that he basically created because he is AXEL AND HE RULES ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!11113131q1w!

Quite naturally, he got what he wanted. Roxas proved to be an easy catch. In my headspace, Demyx was the hard catch, but Roxas was hard too, just not as hard.

Now if only Demyx were capitalized on in KH, but NOOOOOO. Pfft.

Xehanort...SPESHUL

"Special Nobodies". Good grief. Everytime I hear that, I just cringe. I could see Xemnas being a bit "special" because even Sora was just a little bug with antennea when he became a Heartless, but not Xemnas, OH NO! His Heartless looked like a tanning booth dude in a bad outfit. So far, he's the only one like that. Other fans theorize that it's because Xehanort himself never had a heart to begin with. He was somehow created as a human being who never had a "heart", so he doens't know how it feels to be "whole". Where I come from, such a person is called a pyschopath. Quite naturally, Xemnas would be no ordinary psychopath. He'd be a "special" one, of course.

Can you imagine if his "lack of memories" proved to be false? That would mean that not only had he been decieving Ansem, he also decieved god knows how many others, took the name of his master, sealed him in darkness, and wreaked a lot of havoc on who knows how many! For what? Power? Wouldn't that be all too typical though? "BLAAAGH! I want to be GOD! AAAGH!" Destroying everything would be too typical too. Could be just curiosity. Of what it means to have a Heart? Good grief, that's some curiosity. Yea, special "psychopath" indeed!

No one really knows for sure what's going on though since it's not uncommon for Kingdom Hearts to have so many questions, they may not ever be answered. I have yet to see the Secret Ending or gone past Reverse/Rebirth, so I could be just talking out of my ass here.

I still keep wondering about poor Demyx though. Will he remain shafted? It's been stated before, but he's so clearly different from the rest of the Organization and it's never been touched upon. Axel/Roxas may also be the least disgusting, but they're both vicious and Axel is especially "unpleasant". Yet those two will be as gods, while Demyx is shoved aside, except in a large majority of the fandom. Who knows though? The new project will be announced soon and it looks to be a Kingdom Hearts "gaiden", so will have to see.

April Fool's Joke/General KH Blahs

So, Xaldin of kh-vids.net fame decided to post an interview that looked very convincing. Needless to say, a lot of people, myself included fell for it. When it ended up being an April Fool's Joke, I was actually suprised(which is something I never am thanks to being jaded all the time). That was cruel, but beautifully played.

As for whether or not FM2 will be coming to the US, I honestly don't know, and I don't think anyone else does either. I'm not expecting it to, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did, and even moreso if it came out in September. If it came out in that month, then the game would be free for me since it's my Birthday Month(and Demyx month too. HURR.) So, yea, I'd get it, but only as a gift.

Speaking of ORG13 months, April is "Vexen" month. I'd link to the battles of him, but I want to get past chapter 10 first. I'm trying to be as linear in my current commentary as possible. I have not looked at anything KH2:FM related, but I'm aware of how Demyx has appearently been marginalized, and that absolutely horrifies me, and no, it doesn't surprise me either. Yea, he's popular, but I guess popularity contests only matter if you're Axel, Roxas, or Maleficent. Worse yet, if it's Zexion. I'd get into it more, but since I'm trying to be linear, I'm still not supposed to, er, "know" about it.

I have some "Top Tens" for Kingdom Hearts planned. I haven't done any of those in ages. Watching some of the older Kingdom Hearts battles reminded me of some "lists" that I've been thinking of for awhile.

Floor Four/Five/Six(Here comes Larxene!)

Video here in case you missed it! From the usual suspect(kh-vids).



1. "If Goofy still remembers, then I won't forget anytime soon."

So Goofy has memory problems too. Awww, Demyx isn't alone after all.

2. "People who lose their hearts also lose their minds, their feelings...They're consumed by the darkness."

When Larxene says this, it looks like she enjoys saying it. Almost like, "If I have to be this way, then so do you."

3. Right. But that didn't happen to Sora. He held on to his feelings, even as a Heartless. Only one other man ever managed to do that."

Who, Demyx? Yea, I wish, but it's never mentioned who it is. When I saw that, I thought "Kairi", but no, since she isn't a man and was never a Heartless, that can't be her. Then I thought that it might have been Xemnas. Why not? He's pretty damned powerful and the Org Leader. His "Heartless" seemed like nothing more than an extension of himself while using his master's name. Then again, Xemnas is cold as ice and full of malice, just like the vast majority of the Organization. He's as "Heartless" as the rest of them, it seems. It could not be Riku because he was never a Heartlesss. I don't think the "other man who ever managed it" was ever mentioned, unless it is, in fact, Xemnas.

But, you know what? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it turned out to be Demyx after all. I don't think you'd need to be chosen by the Keyblade to hold on to your feelings like that. I say this because Demyx is the only one in the Org who claimed that they had Hearts. I really don't believe he's a good actor and I always believed that his feelings were not phony in any way. Then again, I tend to agree with the novels in that the Org members DO feel, they're just incomplete, so to speak, so the emotions they DO feel tend to be either weak or on the negative side, but nearly all of them are full of malice. I've always said this, and still believe that Demyx is the only one who never really did, not even when he was provoked. Scary, sure(Silence, Traitor! Oh ho ho ho), but never truly malicious.

Why am I talking about Demyx? Technically, I'm not supposed to know who he is at this point. Also, if he were the other one, then wouldn't he be more than marginalized? Heh. Oh, it could be Diz, but was he ever a Heartless? I don't think so...Anyway...


Axel: "What makes his heart shine like that? What sleeps in his most secret depths?"

That should be obvious. Course that would also explain why Axel craved a close friend so much. At least I think so.

Alice in Wonderland is next at this point, but it doens't look like the Disney stars will be up on Youtube anytime soon.

Floor Five

1. Ah, Donald. Demanding like he always is. Not that I blame him at this point.

2. Again, Namine seems pretty smug as she's drawing those pictures. That's not to say that she's some psychopath, but I think that while she doesn't want to be stuck in a Castle, she doesn't seem to mind messing with Sora's memories. Almost like she wants so much to be included, that she puts herself as part of Sora's "playgroup", so to speak. She knows it's wrong, but does it anyway, and it's not necessarily because she has no choice. This has actually been addresed before in other fan groups, I just never thought anything of it until now. Course it's still early in COM and I haven't see the old version in quite awhile, so moving right along.

Floor Six

1. Oh good grief. Here comes the Axel/Larxene fodder! Anger sex, ahoy!



Axel: BLARGH! Don't touch me, you bitch!
Jurhael: AHAHHHA! Better you than Demyx!
Axel: Shut up, or I'll kill you!



You have to admire Larxene's nerve. I don't know of many people who would DARE touch Axel like that. Hell, not even Roxas would have the nerve, I bet. I'm also willing to bet that Larxene knows that Axel doens't like her touching him, but she does it anyway! HEE! She's a Goddess!

That being said, I don't "Ship" Axel/Larxene, myself. With het, it's Marluxia/Larxene all the way! OH yes!
