Xigbar has heard people whining about pets long enough, now he's going to go to the pet store to get pets. He thought he'd get one, too. Something awesome. Also, this could be another was to annoy Xemnas. And he could get his pet to relieve itself in Marluxia's garden. Freaking awesome. He smirked to himself and continued driving. Xiggy likes driving. Especially when he can float slightly off the ground and make all of the drivers near him get confused. He did so, floating slightly off the ground. He even turned off the engine, just to make things funnier. Yay.

Xemnas long had thought cars and methods of transportation obsolete - with all the powers of darkness at his beck and call, with nobodies to bend to his every whim, and with the ability to follow the threads of darkness in and out of the very continuum, vehicles seemed rather... dull in comparison. Therefore, it was with a dark, velvet ripple that he appeared, hooded and unrecognizable, at the front of the pet store.
He rather abhored the idea of fluffy animals. They were pointless. What was the reason for a kitten or a bunny? A rottweiler, or a lion; something with use, he could see. But the creatures featured in the store windows failed to impress the Superior, look as he might.
The idea that Xemnas needed a new hobby had been tossed about, long enough for him to hear. He had initially pretended to ignore; morbid curiosity drew him here this time. He watched a small puppy whine and bark, pawing at the window of the store quite morosely, and a great golden macaw let out a stream of obscenities that had the store owner rushing over to try to distract it. As he looked, however, other things became apparent - a great Komodo monitor lounged in a specialized pit, basking under a great sun lamp. A shark circled endlessly in an aquarium to the side, and beneath the store a young kraken stirred, idly exploring the 'seabed' that lay beneath the pet store. Wondering of the sanity of the owner, Xemnas slipped inside, and was immediately sniffed at great length by a yearling griffon. He waved it aside, and with a squeal, the creature bounded back in sudden terror.
"Too flighty..."

Xigbar pulled up to the front of the store, and landed the car. "They better have it." With that, he got out, yawned, and headed inside, paying no mind to any other members which had come along with him. Immediately, he spotted Xemnas. He was tempted to shout 'OMGLOLSUPERIORZ' at the top of his lungs, just to embarrass him. Hm. Xigbar wouldn't care what weird looks he would get, it'd just be funny. Maybe he should be more subtle.
Screw subtlety. "OMGLOLSUPERIORZ!" with that, Xigbar proceeded to bombard him with questions. More like one, but whatever. "Why do YOU need a pet? It'll die in a week, you'll probably forget about it writing all those reports documenting our craziness. What are you gonna DO with those, anyway? TV movie?" Xigbar raised an eyebrow, and saying that, returned to sanity. Well, whatever sanity Xigbar had.

Xemnas froze visibly, then slowly turned, pulling back his hood dramatically and letting his long hair fall, a little slower than normal gravity ought to allow. "Hello, Number Two. Finished already, are we? Or did you completely forget that it was your turn to clean out the bathrooms?" He lifted an eyebrow and held out a hand for emphasis, then brought it closer. "It is my full intention to investigate the reason for the sudden desire my underlings have inexplicably displayed for pets. That is all."
Liar. Complete liar. That wasn't all.

"Yup. Done." He sighed, looking through the rows of pets, his eye falling on one, then widening. He walked over and picked up its cage. "This thing is awesome!" It looked exactly like a mini replica of Godzilla. "I am SO buying this." he then read what it said on the cage. 'Eats bugs. Cannot live in extremely cold environments. Can live in extremely hot or humid ones. Does not like flowers.' ...His eye then looked over that last one. 'Does not like flowers'. "This thing is MINE." With that, Xigbar walked up to the clerk, and purchased it. Though, what the clerk didn't know, was, once he shut the register, the munny just got teleported right back into The Freeshooter's pockets. He then walked up to Xemnas, holding its cage. "You're SO going to buy one." He then thought what he'd name it. Hmm...

Xemnas lifted his eyebrow higher. "I assure you, I am not," he repeated. "Managing twelve of you is quite enough. As you said, I'm quite busy."
He stared at a moogle floating serenely by, the corner of his mouth twisting into a grimace. He loathed those magical care bears, from their pom-poms atop their heads, their chibi wings, their wound noses... they defined 'cute'. "I will observe this another time," he finished, sweeping away...
...from suddenly there was the sound of a knife, amplified, as it embedded itself deep in the moogle. The store owner backed away hurriedly, and there was the general sound of panic and pandemonium. The griffon tried to take to the air, a pegasus reared, a manticore roared. The macaw just told them all to bugger off.
The source of the commotion, a small greenish creature with a lantern and a knife, in a brown robe, merely watched, satisfied.
Xemnas halted, staring at the Tonberry. The Tonberry stared back.

"The perfect match! I'll leave you two to get to know eachother." With that, Xigbar walked away, muttering something inaudible. Then came a snicker, then came a snicker from a certain Mini-Godzilla. "This thing is so awesome!" He then proceeded to lead it to a flower. The pet then snarled, and bit it. "...Perfect." Xigbar smiled to himself. His new accomplice. Yay.

Xemnas looked away, turning back to Xigbar. "I do not need a pet."
The Tonberry still stared at him, inching closer. The more Xemnas ignored him, the closer the Tonberry got, until it stopped at his feet and continued staring at him. It would not leave him be!
The store owner took a step closer, and the Tonberry whirled around, brandishing its enchanted butcher knife. Thinking better of the action, the owner backed away. "Um... sir... congratulations on your new pet," he added with a sudden grin. He was one who dealt in dangerous creatures, but the Tonberry was apparently the only one he feared. "If you'll just come over here, I have papers, adoption papers. What's your name?"
Xemnas stared at him. The Tonberry glanced to Xemnas and wordlessly lifted its knife, waving it in the direction of the store owner.
"...he means nothing to me."
With a nod, the Tonberry started off.
"W-wait! Please call him off! I'll - I'll make it worth your while? I'll... uh... hey, want a shark? Cause I have a shark. He's a really cool shark."
"I have no interest in sharks."
The Tonberry moved closer, and the store owner edged to the other side of the store beside a Destiny tortoise.

"Aww. C'mon. You two are the perfect match. And he can be your lackey. I mean, it's be hard to say goodbye to Saix, but things come and go." He then shrugged, continuing to think of a name for his Godzilla.

Xemnas glowered. "There is no hidden connection between Number Seven and myself, Number Two," he said, and then, after a pause, added, "And I have no intention of dismissing nor replacing him. Come here."
The Tonberry stopped, unhunched and rehunched in a silent sigh, and turned around, shuffling slowly back to Xemnas. He then paused, head tilting quizzically to the side. Xemnas circled him a few times, eyes glazing over in thought. "Although there may be use for you," he muttered, and the Tonberry seemed to stand up a little straighter, its lantern glowing a little brighter.

"Suuuuuuure there isn't." Xigbar chuckled to himself, still thinking of a name, the Mini Godzilla munching happily on the flower.

"Candy Mountain, Chaaaarlie," a unicorn started up, and its friend was quick to join in. The tonberry's head swivelled, and it set off towards the two oblivious unicorns.
Two stabs later, it returned to Xemnas, who by now was muttering to himself. "...most definitely useful. An intriguing find... what species?"
"Ton...berry. Humans call," the tonberry spoke up, and Xemnas's eyebrow raised once again. "Not... not human, you."
"I am a nobody.. one who is not meant to exist."
The tonberrry nodded as if this explained everything and stood silently at Xemnas's side. The pet store owner decided it may be a good idea to approach the Superior now that he seemed a little more amenable to having a new scaly, sociopathic mass-murderer friend, and grinned.
"No charge, you know. He likes you."
"...I had noticed. Fine. You stay."

Xigbar started clapping. And that caused everyone else in the store to start clapping. He smirked to himself, and whistled. This was fun. He then, while still clapping, continued to think of a name. He just couldn't think of anything.

For a moment Xemnas looked about him before smirking and giving a dramatic bow. The tonberry echoed his movement.
"Do you have a name, tonberry?"
"Not.. in mantongue. Enska..."
"Enska?" He debated on changing it to Xaskne.
"Enska means.... loyalty? Never betray?"
"I see. Xaskne." At the tonberry's confusion, Xemnas's evil smile(tm) surfaced. "It means 'loyal to a nobody'."
Xaskne nodded and said nothing more.
((As I recall, every now and then a tonberry will talk to you.))

Xigbar smirked, then continued thinking of a name. "Xemnaaas, think of a name for me." Xigbar continued thinking, but with a slight smirk as to what Xemnas might say. Dallixogz? Who knows. "...I've GOT IT! Fluffy!" Xigbar then grinned widely.
