Roxas - Life in the Organization* Chap. 4

Roxas found Axel and Demyx outside, lying flat on the ground. "Hey, what were you doing?" Demyx asked, removing the frisbee from over his eyes and looking up at Roxas. "I was, um, checking my phone." Roxas lied as he lay down next to Axel, the grass prickling at the back of his neck. "What're you guys doing? Sun worshipping?" Called a voice. Roxas looked over and saw Marluxia striding towards them, his black coat billowing behind him and his pink hair silkly as usual. He stopped and stared down at them. "I hope you three aren't allergic to grass."
"Nope." Axel replied as he sat up and plucked some blades from his fiery red-hair, which was even more spikier than usual.
Demyx stretched. "Do you have anything for us to do?" He asked.
"No, not if you mind de-weeding my rose garden."
"Are you roses prickly?"
"If you mess with them, yeah." Marluxia strode off, humming.
Axel followed him with Demyx and Roxas trailing behind him. "Hey, Marluxia, have you ever seen Xemnas alseep?"
"No, why?"
"Because I wonder what he looks like - hey, does he even SLEEP?"
"Yes, of course Xemnas sleeps. He couldn't run around pulling your ears and legs if he didn't."
Roxas didn't half understand what Marluxia was talking about. He looked around. Larxene was fixing the electric cable by shocking it frequently, Vexen was cleaning the windows, and Xemnas was standing out on the balcony, drinking something. Roxas waved up at him, and he waved back.
"Marluxia," Axel turned and pointed at the voice, and Marluxia stopped to look. "If it isn't Mister Boss-Your-Butt-Off."
Saix glared at Axel as he handed Marluxia a package. "Roxas, can you please come with me. Xemnas told me to give you fighting lessons."
"Er...OK."
"Aw! How come he didn't pick me?" Axel asked. "Because, you're to goofy to teach Roxas. Xemnas trusts me as a reliable teacher."
"Yeah, until you cut his throat we'll see how reliable." Roxas heard Axel mutter under his breath.
In a large oval shaped room, Saix positioned Roxas on the other side the room and gave him one of Axel's spare Chakrams. "I'll go easy on you today, but don't expect me to stay that way." Saix explained as he pulled out his claymore. "Ah, you're not using that thing are you?" Roxas asked.
"Of course I am, it's my weapon of course." Saix looked unblinkingly at Roxas as he ran at him. Raising the claymore above his head, Roxas heard the heavyness sail through the air. Roxas jumped just as the spike edged hit the floor with a horrible, grating sound.
"You're quick, but you need to learn how to defend against enemy attacks." Saix obviously was a natural at fighting; just now Saix seemed ten times more deadly than he was just rolling his eyes. Roxas sat down, but he had to stand up as the claymore whooshed past his rib cage. The sharp end caught his robe and pulled him down. "OOF!" Roxas gasped as he hit the ground. Without a warning, Saix kicked him in the back, and not just softly but a horse-like kick. Roxas yelped in pain and rolled a couple of feet before he stopped himself from rolling into a pile of Larxene's sharp ended Kunai.
"Ugh..." Roxas felt sick, but just as he was about to stand up Saix caught him by his hood and flung him into the air. He kicked him again, this time so that he went higher into the air and then came slamming back down again. Roxas groaned and whipped blood off his lip. "Stop!" Roxas yelled.
"Fine, are you all right?"
"Well...no." Roxas replied, being honest.
"I'm sorry if I beat you up a little bit to hard - did you break anything?"
"No - except my pride." Roxas took ahold of Saix's hands as he pulled him up. "You're bleeding - why don't you go see Xemnas and get cleaned up?"
"OK, can you walk me there though? I think I got knocked around in the head a bit to much."
Saix took a hold of Roxas's arm and helped him to Xemnas's room. Xemnas was writing in a notebook, and he looked up in surprise. "Roxas - you look terrible."
"I know." Roxas fell down in one of the soft chairs and closed his eyes. Maybe having Axel as his fighting teacher would have been better than Saix. "This may sting a little." Xemnas warned as he put a cloth to a small cut on Roxas's forehad. "OW! It's burning more than stinging!" he gasped, glad when Xemnas slapped a band-aid on the cut.
"I have some ice-packs, so if you feel dizzy come see me. I think you should go lie down for a while, Roxas, you have a big purple bruise on you cheek. And take this." Xemnas placed a ice pack on the bruise and Roxas sighed as the throbbing on his cheek resided. Saix led him back into his room and watched as Roxas fell into his bed.
"I think I'll make you some cupcakes in return for doing that."
"No...don't talk about food..."
Saix smiled slightly. "Sorry, just take a nap and I'll wake you up for dinner."
"SURE..." Roxas fell asleep even before he'd heard Saix finish his sentence.
Saix closed the door softly and left, leaving Roxas to take a deep, four-hour long nap.

 

awww poor Roxas, Saix hurt him :(

the story is really getting interesting!

 

Nice! :D This is getting good! :D

 

ALL RIGHT! Keep on reading!

Here's Chapter 5:

Roxas was in such a deep sleep that he barely heard Axel and Demyx sneak into his room. Axel looked over at Roxas. He had a very large purple bruise on his cheek, just above the jaw, and a large band-aid on the side of his head. "Saix must have really gotten him," Demyx commented as he surveyed Roxas's injuries. Axel nodded and sat down in one of Roxas's chairs, but he had to stand up again because he had nearly squished Panna.
"Axel, what're you doing?" Saix was standing in the doorway, frowning at him. "Oh, we were waiting for Rox to wake up." he replied, putting his feet up on the dresser gently. Demyx nodded as he juggled bubbles. "Well, can you wake him up? It's time for dinner."
"Is it sit-whereever-you want-day again?"
"Yes, but don't sit next to me."
"Yeah!"
While Saix and Axel snapped at each other, Demyx gently shook Roxas awake. "Time for dinner," he whispered. Roxas yawned widely and placed Panna on his bed gently. "Okay," Roxas ran his fingers through his blonde hair as he followed them to them to the dining room. "Roxas, how do you feel?" Saix had dropped behind and was walking side-by-side with Roxas. "Drowsy." Roxas replied, looking up at Saix. He didn't look like he cared, but maybe that was because he wasn't one for expressing his feelings, if he had any.
In the dining room, Roxas plopped down in a chair next to Xigbar, who was playing poker with Luxord. "I'm going to bid." Xigbar announced, and Roxas noticed he had an eye-patch over his left eye. "Hey, kid. What're you staring at?" Roxas blinked and saw that Xigbar was giving him a grin. "Oh, just thinking." he replied as Axel ripped opened a little jar of blue powder and sprinkled it on his tongue. "What's that?"
"Powdered candy, it's sour. Wanna try some?" he asked. "Sure." Roxas took the jar and sprinkled some on his tongue. At first, it tasted very bland, then a burst of blueberry sourness erupted. "AH! That is sour."
"Like Saix, 'cause he's always blue." Axel said as Roxas handed him the jar back, and Saix turned away from Xemnas too glare at Axel.
Larxene came out of the kitchen, her blonde hair covered with glitter as she placed a steaming tray of some kind of pasta with mixed vegetables and meat on the table. Roxas threw some on his plate and carefully tasted it. It tasted good, so he continued to eat more. Saix though, was picking at his food, instead of eating it. "You're not gonna eat?" Demyx asked through a mouthfull of steak as Zexion handed him a beige pouch full of something. "I'm not very hungry," he replied.
Larxene bit down on her fork and cocked her head so that the two strands of hair standing up went askew. "Are you trying to lose weight?"
Saix shook his head no and tapped his glass of water, making the ice cubes in it clink against the edges. "Just eat a little, you might faint if you don't." Xemnas suggested as he opened up a very large book and began reading. Saix did, but he didn't seem very interested. "I'm going down to the computer room." he said abruptly, standing up and disappearing. "DONE!" Axel announced. "No you're not, I saw you give your broccoli to that Shaodow heartless." Xemnas looked over his book at Axel.
Roxas smiled slightly as he finished his vegetables and drank some of his water. "Can we go and play now?" he asked.
Xemnas stared at Roxas for a while. "Yes," he said finally, waving them off.
"Have fun." Xigbar called after them.
"I wonder what's up with Saix, he's been funny lately."
"Maybe he's got a secret girlfriend he doesn't want anyone to know about." Demyx suggested eagerly. "I don't anyone who'd go out with him," Axel stretched and ruffled Roxas's hair. "I'm going to dye your hair, how about green?"
"No WAY! I don't want to look like a palm tree." Roxas ducked, and just as he did he caught a glimpse of Saix walking down the hallway.
"Hey, look! It's Saix!"
Saix obviously heard them, because he turned to look. "Are you following me?"
"No, because you're to mean - yeah we're following ya! What else? How come you didn't eat at dinner? How come you're nastier than before?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Demyx asked.
"No, why would I? I have no time for such nonsense, and Axel...I wasn't hungry, I had something earlier, and I'm being nasty because you're a very annoying person."
Saix turned and left through a corridor of darkness.
"Let's follow him." Axel said, pulling Roxas along.
"Why?"
But no one answered, they just pulled him through the corridor of darkness...

I hope you liked it; since they changed the forum around I had to use this instead.

 

Roxas - Life in the Organization * Chap. 6

OK, I've been really busy, so sorry for the long wait :D.

Chapter 6:

"Wha...what is this place?" Roxas looked around, his blue eyes wide with surprise. "This is a Corridor of Darkness, we'll teach you how to make one one day." Axel explained calmly, pulling Roxas along. Roxas couldn't hear his footsteps, and his head felt light and airy, and his pasta was wiggling in his stomach in a sickening way. The Corridor of Darkness was a swirl of colors - from black, midnight blue, and a deep violet. The colors merged and swirled and made airy, breathing sounds as they did, creating intricate patterns on the walls. Ahead of them, stood a very dark hole, seven-feet-tall and making a terrible roaring sound. As they approached it, Roxas felt like some invisible force was pulling him along; his limbs felt like ten tons and his arms hung heavily. The pressure that the Dark Hole exuded made his head pound, and his ears began to ring. "Axel..." he groaned, his tongue barely forming words, "What...is...this...thing?" he asked, straining to make his body function properly.
"It's a Chaos Door, or, A Door Through Darkness, now cover your ears, close your eyes, and hold your food." Roxas did as he was told. Suddenly, with a whoosh, he was lifted from the ground and catapulted into the dark hole. Like being thrown into a river full of ice cold water, he gasped in pain as the cold air hit him with force. He began to swirl so fast the his hands nearly got peeled away from his ears, and his eyelids almost flew open. Then, suddenly, he jerked to a stop, running into Axel and Demyx.
"Ah!" he gasped as he hit Axel in the back and toppled over onto them. "Ow...you weigh a ton, Rox!" Axel mumbled, shoving him gently off him. "I'm not that fat." Roxas complained as he blinked. His head was still swirling from the fast motion of the Door Through Darkness, and his blood seemed to be swimming through his body at a fast rate.
"What the heck? What're you three doing here?" A high-voice called. Roxas looked up to see the slender figure of Larxene looking down at them, her round green eyes narrowed in suspicion. "We came to see what...er...Saix was up to." Axel coughed as he stood up.
Larxene crossed her arms and looked at Axel from up under her eyelashes, which were coated on the tips with electric-yellow mascara. "And? Xemnas is not going to be pleased with you." she said menacingly. "Oh! Roxas! Are you all right, sweetie?" Larxene asked, pulling up Roxas. Roxas groaned and swaggered. "What did you do?" she asked, pressing him again her chest. Roxas smelled cookies and cream perfume on her coat.
"Don't smother him." Axel peeled Roxas out of her clutches and she swept her fingers through his tousled blonde hair.
"The others are over in the square," she said, twirling around and click-clacking off in her five-inch heels.
"Come on," Demyx said, looping his arm through Roxas's. Axel did the same. "Time to bear the rage of The Boss."

Roxas was sitting in a chair beside Marluxia, listening to the raised voice of Xemnas as he scolded Axel and Demyx. "THIS IS THE ORGANIZATION, YOU IDIOTS. NOT KIDDIE HOUSE. I DID NOT ORGANIZE THIS FOR YOU TO SPY ON PEOPLE AND CAUSE TROUBLE." Xemnas roared. Axel was twiddling his thumbs while listening, and Demyx was staring into Xemnas's face with huge blue eyes.
"But..."
"NO BUTS NOW SHUT - UP!"
Axel started snickering. "AND YOU DOFOUS, STOP SMILING OR ELSE I'LL MAKE YOU CLEAN THE FLOOR OF THE LIVING ROOM WITH A HAND TOWEL AND BLEACH!" Xemnas stopped yelling after scolding them loudly for two more minutes. Saix was sitting on Roxas's left side, looking calm in the face but amused in the eyes.
Xemnas turned from them, his face red and his hand clenched in fists. "Now, can we proceed on?"
"Yes," Saix said after a few moments of silence. "I already updated the town's defense system and network so only we can get to it."
"Is there a password?" Xemnas asked, sitting in a chair with a huff, rolling his eyes at Demyx, who was eating a Kit-Kat and Axel, who was drinking a Coke.
"Yes, the password is A7890-12TYX8."
"Dang, how can we remember that?" Axel said, swallowing his coke.
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR ONCE, KETCHUP-BRAINS?" Xemnas roared again, throwing a saber at Axel. Axel ducked just in time before the laser shocked him.
"What is it for?" Roxas asked. He expected Xemnas to try and rip his throat out, but he replied calmly, "For our project; Project 'Replica Town'."
"Replica Town?" Axel gaped.
"Yes, it's our new secret base." Xemnas replied, not trying to kill Axel this time.
"We'll take you there if you like," Saix stood and shook his hair out of his face, motioning for them to follow him.
"It's not completed, but it will be."
And then, a door opened in front of them, and Roxas stepped through...

"Whoa..." Roxas breathed. 'Replica Town' was a huge place. Above them was a wide blue sky, but the clouds in it did not move, they hung still. The anagram of the sun was rising above the green hills, but it did little to warm them up like the real sun did.
The grass beneath their feet was long, and about the only thing that felt real. It was a lush green, and was covered slightly in dew. Roxas touched it with his hands. It prickled against his arm.
"Wow, you guys must be really smart then. And to think Saix had completely no BRAINS at all." Axel laughed, and Marluxia slapped him on the back of his head.
"This place is very interesting," Roxas jumped. Zexion was standing next to him, his silvery hair glowing in the sunlight and his dark blue eyes setting off his pearly complexion. Zexion was short and small boned, but as Roxas looked into his eyes (which were visible since he was standing next to him instead of face-forward), he saw thoughtfulness and intelligence.
"Yeah, I wonder how they got the data to do this?" Lexaeus's deep voice said behind Roxas. He had to nearly stand on tip-toe to look up into the tall man's face.
"This place is an Argentina field." Saix replied, scribbling furiously down on a clipboard.
"Next we'll have a replica White House," Axel muttered out of the corner of his mouth. Roxas giggled. "Oh, I get it. So that means we won't have to pay for air-fare next time - we just come here. Hey, you forgot something."
Saix looked from up under his eyelashes. "What?"
"Where's the margaritas?"
Everyone laughed, including Xemnas, but Saix frowned. He obviously couldn't see the funny-side of things.
"I'm not going to be wasting my time making replica margaritas, for your information, Axel. This is something of importance."
"I know, I was just making a suggestion to make it interesting."

Back at the Castle That Never Was, Roxas wrote in his diary.
Dear Diary, We went to a place called 'Replica Town' that Saix and Xemnas made. It's really cool. Everything is almost as exact as the original. I can't wait until they finish it, it'll be exciting.
Roxas closed his diary and brushed dust off Panna's ears. He didn't really remember where he got Panna, it just that whenever he looked at it he smiled.
"DINNER!" Larxene called. "AND IT'S CHOSE YOUR SEAT DAY!"
Roxas followed the crowd of members into the dining room. "All right, PIZZA." Axel got a plate and opened up one of the pizza boxes, which was a mushroom and sausage pizza. He got three slices and sat down, taking a bite out of the take-out pizza and pulling cheese with the bread. "Who decided to order pizza?" he asked.
Xemnas sat down and got himself some pepperoni and cheese crust pizza, his expression bewildered. "I don't know." he admitted, shaking powder cheese on the top of his slices.
Demyx made a pizza sandwich. "DE-LICIOUS! Did you do this Roxas?" he asked.
"No..." Roxas got some cheese pizza, and when he did, and little sticky note flickered down onto his lap. He looked at it.
It read: I'm close by to you, Namine.
"Who's Namine?" Roxas asked a loud.
"Namine?" Saix looked up from his pizza, where he had been working on pulling the cheese crust off.
"It seems familiar...but, who cares. Let's eat." Axel grabbed another slice, while Larxene diligently ate her buffalo wings and pizza at the same time.
Roxas tried to join in the fun as they all agreed to have a Friday night party. Zexion and Demyx popped twenty bags of popcorn, they continued to devour their pizza (and buffalo wings once Larxene ran out of hot sauce), Axel made snow cones, and Luxord and Marluxia got the DVD player hooked up to their 72 inch plasma screen TV.
But as they enjoyed a movie called Rush Hour 2, Roxas only thought about the letter. Who in the world was Namine?

 

Awesome fanfic! Poor Roxas seems to get beat up alot... D: And he found a sticky note from Namine...in his pizza....COOL! ^_^ Magic pizza! *Sorry, little hyper* Please keep writing!

 

OK!

Chapter 7:

"Ugh, I had way to much pizza." Axel groaned as the clock on the wall ticked off three o'clock. Xemnas was sitting on the couch, asleep, Luxord was lying on the floor on his back. Xigbar was floating and sleeping in mid-air, Saix, of course, had to sleep near the window, Zexion had a black blanket covering him as he slept, Lexaeus and Xaldin had disappeared to their bedrooms when Axel decided to shake Pepsi up and shoot it all over Demyx and Roxas.
All the other members had gone up to bed. Roxas looked at Axel and ran his fingers through his sticky blonde hair. He smelled like root beer. "I can't move..." Demyx groaned, his voice muffled by a fluffly purple pillow.
Roxas and Axel helped Demyx up and surveyed the catastrophe of a living room. There were plastic cups littering the floor, soda cans and plants with tomato sauce covering it. Ice cream buckets sat lined up on the coffee table and flower petals still floated down from the enchanted ceiling (Marluxia's doing). "Let's get this cleaned up so Xemnas won't have our hides. You know how immaculate he is." Axel got a big huge bucket and Demyx - with a swirl on his index finger - made water appear into the bucket. Roxas dipped cloths into the water and wiped down the windows, being careful to not slosh Saix while he did.
Axel wiped the floors with a mop and instant dried them with some heat, and Demyx stopped the enchanted ceiling by pulling some flowers off the beams.
By five in the morning the living room was looking respectable again. Saix yawned and sat up, smoothing his hair. "Wow, what happened in the last 12 hours?" he asked. "Nothing much," Axel yawned also and stretched the kinks out of his back.
Marluxia was sitting up in a chair doing his hair; currently he was curling the sides of his rosy tresses so that it framed his face. "You made this cleaner than my room." he observed with his dark blue eyes.
"That's because we did all the work, stupid." Demyx growled and collasped onto the couch, falling into Xemnas's lap.
"Get off of me," he shoved Demyx off his lap and Demyx rolled a few inches before Axel stopped him with the toe of his boot.
Marluxia put hair spray on his hair and patted his manicured locks. "There, I'm going to take a nice long shower."
Axel stretched again. "NAP TIME!" He said.
Xemnas stood up and narrowed his eyes, looking around the room. "It's spotless clean..." he said quietly. "Good job," Roxas sighed in relief. Since being in the Organization for a month, he'd learned that Xemnas wasn't a pushover - he was a doberman with big fangs and obviously the superior.

 

Roxas - Life in the Organization* Chapter 8

HERE'S CHAPTER VIII, WHO-HO! :D

"Roxas, come with me, please." Marluxia strode up to Roxas late that afternoon. "Yeah, what is it, Marluxia?" he asked, looking into his deep blue eyes. "Today, you're going to help me with my garden." he said with a pleasant smile. "Uh...gardening? You know, I'm not the best at that..."
Marluxia chuckled and pushed Roxas forward. "Gardening is as simple as saying one two three once you learn how to properly do it. We'll do the simple stuff." Marluxia explained.
At least I won't get beat up, Roxas thought in his head as Marluxia led him out into his garden. Roxas looked around. The garden was a wide, pretty space. There was a little circle of roses and lilies in each corner, blooming brightly to add a splash of color against the chalk white castle buildings. The grass was perfectly trimmed, not one blade stood higher than the rest. Jacaranda trees and clipped shrubs lined the outermost edges of the garden, while a multi-color maze led to the other side. "Oh, this place is beautiful." Roxas said a loud. Marluxia smiled. "Well, thank you for the compliment. My garden is my pride, as you can see." he said. "Now, let's began planting. Take these." Marluxia thrust some poppies into Roxas's arms.
"I've dug the holes for you so all you need to do is plant, cover, and water. Understand?"
"Um...yes, Marluxia."
"Good, now hurry on."
Roxas walked over to where Marluxia was pointing. He put each poppy in careful, under Marluxia's watchfull eyes. "Now, be gentle with them, love. They've been out the pot for an hour and they need to root." he said in his tactful voice. "Cover them gently and PAT, don't slap. That actually damages the roots." Roxas did as Marluxia said. He'd taken off his gloves and his hands were beginning to collect dirt as he did as Marluxia told him to do.
"Now, measure this and fill it up to 1 1/3 cups of water please and water each for ten seconds." Marluxia said, giving Roxas a measuring cup and a big bottle of water.
By the end of the planting session Roxas had planted, learned to clip shrubs into shapes, mowed the lawn, and learned to train trees into growing in certain ways.
"Well, you've done well." Marluxia said with a satisfied look in his blue eyes - if he was satisfied.
"You makin' that boy be a gardener, Marly?" Xigbar appeared out of nowhere, grinning on one side of his mouth. "Well, Xigbar," Marluxia said with a haughty sniff, "this young man is a very fine gardener if you're asking."
"He's a boy. You look fine doin' it but him?" Xigbar pointed with a jerk of his thumb. "You're gonna make a sissy out of him."
Marluxia flicked his hair over his shoulder. "I'm teaching him something important. If I am not able to tend to my garden he will, won't you Roxas dear?" Marluxia turned and give him a 'you better say yes' stare.
'Er....right."
Xigbar snorted. "Seriously," he said before disappearing.
"Seriously my foot." Marluxia growled under his breath. "Go and wash up. You don't want to get sick." Marluxia said before disappearing as well.

Roxas trudged up to the bathroom. Inside, he washed off his hands and gloves and then used a hair dryer to dry them off quickly. Once his gloves were dry, he put them on and walked down the quiet hallways. Hearing voices, he peeked down the left corridor and saw Saix's figure huddled next to Vexen, who was tapping a pen on his chin thoughtfully.
"Oh, Roxas!" Vexen exclaimed as Roxas stood uncertainly in the hallway. Saix whipped around without even a hello. "Are you done with your lesson?" he asked coolly. "Yes." Roxas replied, blushing.
Saix muttered something to Vexen and he nodded and left with a wave to Roxas.
Saix strode over to Roxas and looked at him with bright gold eyes.
"How was it? I know Marluxia can be a bit proper."
"It was okay, I just got dirty." Roxas replied.
"Listen, dinner is going to be late, we have an important meeting to attend to." Saix said as he took Roxas's wrist.
"Uh...ok." Roxas followed Saix through a corridor of darkness, and they popped up in the meeting room. "You sit there, next to Larxene." Saix pointed and Roxas looked up. He took a deep breath and suddenly, teleported right into his seat.
Larxene flashed him her pearly smile before turning her attention to Xemnas, who was sitting in his chair - which was the highest of them all.
Roxas knew something was up...

To be continued.

 

That was awsome! Can't wait until next chap!

 

Here's the nineth chapter. Enjoy. :)

"All right," Xemnas's clear, deep voice bounced off the high ceiling of the room, making him sound imposing. Roxas stared at him. He wondered what was up - probably something important, but, then he changed him when he saw Demyx and Axel eatting Chinese take-out while attentively looking at Xemnas. "Psst," he heard something and turned to look. On his left was Xigbar; he was talking out the side of his mouth. "Act like your listenin', kiddo." he said before Xemnas began talking. Roxas nodded and watched hungrily as Axel used his chopsticks to shove some noodles down his throat, Demyx, however, was putting wasabi on his sushi (which was obviously the Japanese part of his food) and shoving it into his mouth. Maybe they'd save some for him...he hoped. He was praticulary starving to death.
"Today our topic is....blah...blah...." Roxas heard. He was so busy thinking about pizza, chicken wings, sandwiches, sodas, and other delicious foods that he didn't hear Xemnas call his name. "RO-XAS!" He yelled, making Roxas slip forward. Thankfully, Larxene's quick movements caught him before he fell face forward onto the hard floor. Giving her a thankful smile, he glanced over at Xemnas, slightly ruffled. "Uh...um....yes, Xemnas?"
"Can you please pay attention? Now, Roxas, you are going to go through rigorous training. If you DO NOT meet Organization XIII standards..." his red eyes wavered on Saix, who pulled out a piece of paper and read off:
1). You will be worked until you meet standards. 2). You will be thrown out of the Organization. 3). Death will be penalty. 4). You will cease to exist, which is not the same as death.
Roxas gulped. Ceasing to exist, or dieing, was the worst.
"I heard you have no weapon." Axel said through his orange chicken, swallowing loudly.
"Y-yeah...." Roxas felt embarrassed. But, then suddenly, why WAS he embarrassed. He wasn't suppossed to be embarrassed, was he? Suddenly, his mind went totally blank; the sounds of his fellow members' talking was muffled, like he had something over his ears. Then, a sharp, quick pain shot through his head. His eyes crossed, he heard Axel's voice and the smelt Larxene's floral perfume warp around him....then blackness.

In a sea of black, Roxas floated like a toy on a pool. He felt like and airy and without a sense of dread. His eyes started at nothing but black - black, black, black, black, black. But then, a speck of light drew up in front of him. An object in the shape of a key appeared in front of him, landed in his palm softly and then, with a shock and a stream of golden light, rivuted up his body.

"ROXAS!" Axel's voice bit into Roxas's dream like a dog bite. He looked up into his face, saw his concerned emerald orbs. "You scared the heck out of me!" he said, running his long fingers through his thick red hair.
"Where...am....I?" Roxas stammered. "Within in the Organization," Axel said.
"Oh, right. What happened? Why'd I faint?" he asked Axel.
Axel shrugged. "Beats me, you were out for about three hours."
"REALLY?" Roxas sat up, but he gasped in pain and lay back against his soft, warm bed. "Larxene dropped you by mistake.
"Oh, oops."
"Yeah, double OOPS."
"Listen, I've gotta go, I'll be back with dinner for you. Just rest, 'kay, Rox?"
"Sure, tell everyone I'm feeling a little better." He said, yawning.
"I'll give Saix a punch for ya,"
"Thanks, that'd be nice." He smiled at Axel's brotherly hair ruffle before falling into a deep, dark sleep, unaware of his dreams...

To be continued.

 

Nice chapter!! That must've hurt, falling on the floor like that. Can't wait until next chapter.

 

Chapter X! :D

It was two days after Roxas had fallen out of his chair at the meeting. It was a cold, dreary, boring day. Outside, rain was falling heavily against the metal roof of the castle and the sky was a dark gray, and everyone in the Organization was tired, bored, and somewhat depressed. "Is there ANYTHING to do?" Roxas asked Axel and Demyx as they walked down the cold hallways. "No, no, and no." Axel said, shaking his red head and sighing. "We must find something to do, why don't we go and bother Saix?"
"Nah," Axel and Roxas said ast the same time, "that's out of the question."
"Xemnas?"
"Nadda."
"Uhh....Larxene?"
"Why would we even waste out lives trying to mess with her?"
"Zexion!"
"SURE." Axel grinned. They'd never meddled little short, pale-skinned, blue-eyed Zexion before. "Okay, anyone have a guess where he might be?" Roxas asked as they all came to a halt in the middle of the hallway.
"The library." Axel said knowingly, and they all turned on their heels and headed to the library. As Roxas followed his two friends, he listened to the soft sound of the rain on the roof. "You know, I always liked the sound of the rain for some reason." he said, looking up even though the high white and gray ceiling blocked out the view of the sky.
"Really? Listening to it makes me want to go to the bathroom." Demyx confided with a straight-face.
"Now that's just nasty." Axel laughed, giving Demyx a noggin with his fist.
******

The library was a large room with a low ceiling and dark blue walls with oak shelves. There were about four long tables assembled in each part of the library, with twelve chairs on each side. "So, what're the books mainly about?" Roxas asked as he flipped open a red leather book. "Hearts, the worlds, and anything else that Xemnas got from Ansem the Wise."
"Ansem the Wise? Who's that?" he asked, looking at Axel curiously.
"Who knows, his wherabouts have been unknown for the last ten years. Whatever happened to him...Xemnas speculates he could be dead or something like that." Axel said, ticking it off on his long fingers.
"Maybe he's being held hostage in the chambers of the castle!" Demyx suggested with a wild look on his face.
"Don't be so dumb!" Axel punched Demyx but missed.
"What's all this noise?"
Zexion appeared from behind a bookshelf, his dark blue eyes studying them. "Oh - you three."
"Yeah, howdy!" Axel saluted with a mock Western accent.
Zexion shrugged and walked past them and sat down at one of the long oak tables, flipping open a thick book and reading.
"So, whatcha up to, Zex?"
"It's none of your business; when't the last time I've ever seen YOU in the library, Axel?" Zexion asked coolly, raising his eyebrows.
"Uh...." Axel blushed bright red and looked away.
"Don't you do anything other than read?" Roxas asked. He liked reading but not the books in here - they looked so dull. "It's called 'research', Roxas." Zexion said without looking up.
"Oh, what kind of research are you doing?"
Zexion sat up and stared at Roxas like he sprouted fourteen arms and eight eyes.
"The heart, I'm researching the heart for Xemnas."
"Oh...well, have fun." Roxas shrugged. He wanted to go write in his diary, some entries were missing.

Dear Diary, I fell off one of the chairs at a meeting and I've got a bruise on my left hip - it really hurts if I flex it a little to much. I've made a lot of friends, but I've only been here for a month. I have no idea what else is going to happen to me, if it's good or bad...
Roxas closed his journal and stroked Panna's soft black ears.
He had a feeling something bad was going to happen, really soon...

To be continued.

 

I've read through the whole thing and I must say, Good job!
All teh organization members seem to bee a bit too soft and Xeldin seems to be missing.

 

I will add Xaldin later, I like to get around through most of the characters with ease in each chapter, and I'm not a violent person. But, overall, I am enjoying writing this story. :)

Chapter XI:

Roxas lay down in his bed, exhausted. Every muscle in his body ached from Xemnas making him clean up half of the castle, and all he wanted to do was sleep. For a few minutes he had been sleeping soundly when there was a loud rapping on his window. "Huh?" he groaned, opening his eyes. Looking around, he didn't see any of the Organization members in his room, not even red-haired Axel or big-eyed Demyx.
"Maybe it was those pesty Heartless," he grumbled, swinging his legs over the side of his bed. Larxene had presented him with some blue pajamas she'd made for him - they were solid blue and a big baggy but that was the way he liked them.
Peering out the window, he surveyed his surroundings. It was a cloudy evening and everything was darker than usual with the moon hidden behind the clouds.
"Just heartless," he said, turning.
Suddenly, the glass on his window shattered and something hard hit him on his head. "AH!" He gasped, trying to right himself. A hand grabbed his arm and pulled him up into the air. "LET ME GO! AXEL, DEMYX! XEMNAS! HELP I'M BEING KIDNAPPED!" He screamed on the top of his lungs, feeling nausea sweep over him as he was thrown out the window with his journal and Panna.
"Roxas!" He heard Axel's voice ring through the silent air, saw his red hair and him in a flamming red robe as he was pulled into a great big hole of darkness.
"NO!!!!!" He screamed, his voice hoarse as his vision was blocked out as the hole closed in on him.
For a few minutes he could barely breathe, it felt like his throat had closed up and someone was strangling him. Then, he couldn't move at all. The darkness subsided, and his eyes closed.
****

DiZ stared at the computer screen with his cold red eyes, monitoring Roxas with his multiple screen computer. He knew that he would be able to hide Roxas for some time in this replica town of Twilight Town, but how long would some time be? The Organization wasn't stupid, they were very keen and cunning and somehow they'd find Roxas...

****

"I can't believe it!" Axel said, his fists clenched. "DiZ set this up, I know it." Xemnas said, typing away on the computers in his black pajamas, his face contored and pale with anger. Saix was standing at the other computer, flipping through some files. "I don't understand, the defense system was up and running at 1300 hours. Someone must have tampered with the system and changed hacked into the encoding." He said softly, his golden eyes narrowed and his jaw set stubbornly.
"WE'VE JUST GOT TO FIND ROXAS!" Axel yelled, his green eyes dancing wildly like a fire pushed by a strong wind.
"Be patient," Marluxia said softly, standing beside him, watching Xemnas and Saix working on their computers.
"We're going to have to upgrade the system if it's going to be easy for DiZ to receive the code to unlock it; that means anyone can come in." Saix said knowingly, turning to Axel, who looked like he was about to break. "We'll find him, Axel, don't worry." Saix said in a sympathetic tone.
Axel nodded, not even aware that Saix was being kind to him for once. He just wanted Roxas back, DiZ was going to PAY for taking his friend away.
"I'll help, I'll help with searching for DiZ."
"Are you sure?" Xemnas asked.
"Yes, I'm sure, now...what do we do first?" Axel sat down at one of the computers and positioned his fingers to start typing.
I'm gonna find ya Roxas, DiZ won't win this one!

To be continued...

 

*gaspith* Roxas got kidnapped!!!!! *cries, then glares at DiZ* ...I never did like DiZ....

Awesome chapter, though! PLEASE keep writing!

 

Chapter XII:
Sorry for the long wait! :P

Roxas walked down the quiet, sunlit streets of Twilight Town, licking his salty-sweet ice cream bar and surveying his surroundings. There were a lot little boutiques and vendors on the street, but since it was about ten in the morning no one was out shopping. "Hey, you!"
Roxas turned, knitting his eyebrows together at the strident, strong voice. Then, coming up the hill was someone he'd never seen before - about four people were coming towards him. The one in the front was a tall boy with hat on his head, and a long, white coat with no sleeves. Behind him was a short, two-foot tall boy who had a very large hat on and large yellow, pupil-less eyes. Behind the midget was a slender girl with her silver hair covering one eye, and a stocky muscle-boy with a loud orange shirt on a dark gray slacks.
"Yeah?" Roxas asked, taking a bite out of his ice cream. "You new?" asked the boy witht the coat.
"Yeah," Roxas said again, throwing his popsicle stick in a nearby trash can. "You got a problem with that?"
"Just remember - I'm the boss round here, the name's Seifer. He's Rai,"
"Yo, y'know?" Rai said.
"She's Fuu,"
The girl didn't say anything except nod her head.
"And the little dude is Vivi."
"How are you?" the midget with the oversized hat on said in a squeaky voice.
Roxas smiled and nodded. "I'm Roxas."
"Roxas, what kind of name is that, y'know?" Rai laughed. Seifer glared at him and he shut up.
"Well, just remember, the townline is free to go to Sunset Station."
"OK," Roxas watched them leave before going the other way.

*feels stupid*

Wow I always forget to look for new chapters with the new one thread rule. There have been 8 chapters since the last time I read!

Great job, I'm a bit confused but it's really good.

I still feel sorry for Roxas

Great job!

 

Yeah, because of the new one thread rule, I had to smush all the chapters into one thread.

Chapter XIII:

"'Townline, free of charge!'" Roxas read aloud at the sign hanging above his head. Putting his hands in his pockets he walked up the tan colored steps, just as royal blue-and-gold train pulled up into the station. The door slid open, and as if someone was calling him, he automatically got inside. The door shut behind him, and quietly, the train pulled forward.
"Whoa, what's going on?" Roxas asked as he looked out the windows, one hand on the velvet seat. No one else was on the train, and the door would not budge one inch. He saw the quiet streets of Twilight Town below him, and saw the ocean and the rocky shore.
Suddenly, the view of the town disappeared, and they were running on a small, railless track. There seemed to be a sea of clouds with a few pine trees standing up through the golden mist, and the sky overhead was the color of sapphires, with a full white moon hanging above and stars speckling the sky.
The train pulled to a stop, and the door slid open. Roxas took a tenative step out, his blue eyes wide and his lips quivering slightly. He looked back at the train. It was gone.
"Oh great," Roxas groaned, pushing his fingers through his hair and staring anxiously forward. What caught his eye was a tall black-coated figure standing in front of the door to a tall golden castle. "Excuse me!" Roxas jogged over to the figure, but he stopped abruptly when it turned. A small gasp came from it. "R-Roxas? Is that really you?" asked a male voice.
"Uh, yeah? Do I know you?"
"Course you do! It's me! Axel!"
The figure threw back the hood, revealing a bright mane of flaming red hair and dancing emerald eyes.
"Axel, who are you talking to?" A chunky man with light skin, sharply pointed side-burns and braided black hair with vivid violet-blue eyes appeared. "Xaldin, look! It's Roxas!"
The black haired man named Xaldin stared, then his mouth dropped open in a wide O shape.
"Roxas!" he exclaimed.
"Look, where am I?" Roxas asked, looking from Xaldin to Axel.
"Uh, oh. I don't think he remembers." Axel said, putting a black-gloved finger to his nose.
"Roxas, do you know of an Organization called Organization XIII?"
"Uhh....." Roxas was speechless.
"No." Axel finished for him with a look of disappoint me on his face.
"Don't even think about it you bugs." Axel and Xaldin disappeared in darkness. Roxas turned around to see who'd said that, but he saw no one. Then, before him was a person in a black coat just like the others - a boy with silver hair and a black scarf tied over his eyes. He lunged at Roxas...

To be continued.

 

I'm back!

Chapter XIV:

"You found Roxas?" Xemnas asked Axel, who was sitting in a chair across from him. Xemnas frowned slightly and drank a little more of his coffee, studying Axel's pained expression. "It's okay, Axel..."
"NO IT'S NOT OKAY!" Axel roared, banging his fist on the table angrily, the anger inside him boiling like fire. "Axel, relax. Where did you see him?" Saix asked calmly, his golden wolf-eyes focused on the piece of paper he had in front of him. "Twilight Town...DiZ's Twilight Town." Axel replied through gritted teeth.
"Roxas.....he....he...."
"Yes?" they said together.
"He doesn't remember me."
Saix opened his mouth, but he was speechless. "Did I hear you right?"
"He doesn't REMEMBER us, or me."
Xemnas frowned. "This is not good."
"It certainly isn't." Saix closed his notebook and pushed Axel out of the seat. "Come on, carrot-head, we've got to find your friend, right?"
Axel nodded, but he felt hopeless.
"It's all my fault," he sighed to Xemnas and Saix. "It isn't your fault, it was just a terrible accident, that's all." Xemnas said matter-of-factly, going down the corridor to the computer room.
"But -"
"No buts, we have to find Roxas. THAT is going to be our priority. If you want to stay in the Organization, Axel, you have to toughen up. You don't see me boo-hooing because I couldn't get Roxas."
"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T -!" Axel stopped talking as Saix's hand hit his cheek hard. He blinked a couple of times and touched the left side of his face, where it was stinging from the slap. Saix was standing in front of Axel, his eyes glowing a little with anger. Xemnas was standing there, looking at both of them in astonishment. "Get over it, Axel. I do not tolerate whiners." And with that he whipped around, a haughty expression on his face as he sat down in his chair and began typing.
Axel stood there, rooted to the spot.
Then, he turned and stormed up the steps. But he wasn't angry anymore, he was more shocked and frustrated. He'd never known Saix to lose his temper like that, the only time he did those things when he was irritated, but NEVER in front of Xemnas. I didn't mean to, Axel thought, looking down on the floor. His mind was whirling. Saix wasn't bound to apologize, but....it hurt.Axel swallowed and raked his fingers through his hair, realizing he was about to have a break down.
Looking outside, he took a deep breath. I'll go help, but I'll wait for Saix to calm down first, he thought, and went back to his room to straighten things up.
