TA: Hiii people! I am now writing an Akuroku fanfic! And no, this is not a crack fic... much.

Disclaimer: I do not own Axel, Roxas, or Kingdom Hearts... sadly.

The Dollmaker

Chapter 1: Larxene

---

"Roxas!" Larxene called out happily. She tackled her overly-serious cousin, Roxas to the floor. He struggled against her as he tried to pry her off of him. "I haven't seen you in soo long!" She sang. She hugged him tightly one last time and got up.

"Can you be any more happy?" Roxas asked with annoyance. He got up quickly and dusted himself off. He rolled his eyes when Larxene smiled brightly and nodded.

"Do you know what this Saturday is?!" Larxene asked. She started to hop on both feet, that smile still plastered onto her face.

"Yes, unfortunately, I do," Roxas said with a sigh. "It's your birthday."

"EXACTLY!" she nodded. She clasped her hands together and looked at Roxas with a smile that could blind. Roxas's eye twitched at the sight. This could only mean one thing: she wanted something... BADLY.

"What?" Roxas asked uneasily.

"Oh nothing..." Larxene replied with a high-pitched voice. She batted her eyelashes innocently and averted her eyes from his gaze. "Just..."

"Just what?" Roxas quirked up an eyebrow.

"I want a plushie! I saw it at this store on my way here!" she squealed. "I think it's one of a kind! It was sooo adorable!"

"And you want me to buy it for you, right?" Roxas asked. He knew that that was exactly what she wanted.

"Pweasy?" she asked. Larxene stuck out her bottom lip and gave Roxas her best puppy dog eyes. Roxas sighed. He was a sucker for that look.

"Fine," he had succumbed once again to his cousin's cursed cuteness (a/n: I'm not a fan of Larxene just so you know. I'm only saying that because there will be some Larxene bashing in later chapters). "What store?"

"Magik Spell," Larxene stated happily. "Thank you so much Roxas! I love you!" She tackled him to the ground again. Roxas was once again making a futile attempt to get away. Larxene pulled him up and hugged him tightly. She dragged him inside his mansion.

Roxas had filthy rich parents. His parents, Cloud and Tifa Strife, were far too busy to bother with him so here he was living alone, but he did have some parental figure. He had... the BUTLER. His parents trusted him. His name was Leon and he was in the army at one point. He's not so good with magic though.

Roxas's dear cousin came over often for a visit. Though he wasn't all too fond of her, he enjoyed her company when she came. He wasn't the one to socialize when unnecessary.

Larxene had run to Roxas's room and pulled out a notepad. She began to scribble sloppily. She took a few crayons from his desk and colored it. A few moments later she shoved it in Roxas's face with a grin.

"See?! Isn't it adorable!!" she screeched. Roxas took the picture and stared at it a while. The doll, or plushie, had bright red hair that was spiked in the back and had green eyes. It had a black cloak around it and a small smirk drawn on its face, making it look cute. To Roxas's surprise, even he found it somewhat adorable.

"I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it!!" Larxene exclaimed.
