CHAPTER 1

One bright sunny day in the Soul Society, I stalked the barracks of the Seireitei.

"Hey, Raoin, are you having fun searching for those kids?"

"Shut up, Renji," I scowled at him.

The redhead dropped down from the roof in front of me, "How did you get saddled with finding those fools that they call themselves children?"

"I don't know, because I pissed off Kenpachi Zaraki," I mumbled.

"Really? How?" the tattooed man asked.

"I told him that the Ryoka, Ichigo Kurosaki, was a better fighter than he was. He got angry, kicked my ass and told me to go get a sunburn," I stared up at the blue sky, my blue-green hair fell into my eyes.

Renji laughed, "You sure aren't smart. He's still passed that Kurosaki defeated him once, let alone twice."

"Have you found them?" a deep, menacing voice said from behind me. I turned. A tall, huge man, with black spikes protruding from his skull, stood.

"No, I haven't," I stuttered.

"Hello, Karishka-kun," a small pink-haired thing said from behind Zaraki's back.

"Hello, Yachiru," I said. "How are you?"

"Kenny-Chan is very disappointed in your progress. If you don't want to be demoted from 4th seat, I suggest you work harder!"

Kenpachi turned and stalked towards his home.

"She sure is a bossy one, isn't she?" Renji said, scratching his head.

"Yeah, hey, do you have any ideas how to find these kids?"

"Nope, not a clue," he answered. "But, Ichigo can find anyone. I know how to contact him."

I smiled, "Oh, really?"

A short blonde girl ran. She zipped around corners and passed multiple broken looking machines.

I hope brother won't find me here, I thought.

I looked around, Hollow Bastian, what happened to you?

"Alixen? Where are you?" my brother called from the darkness.

"I don't have time for this, I need to help Sora with the Dusks and Heartless," he called.

Hands reached out and covered my mouth, I tried to scream, but I passed out instead.

A few hours later I awoke in a very white room. Out of the window I saw a heart shaped moon, Kingdom Hearts, I guessed.

"Good morning, Alixen Leonhart," a cold voice said.

I was startled, "Who's there?"

A boy stepped out, he had a blonde mullet and bright, liquid blue eyes, "Hi, I'm Demyx."

"Hi," I stuttered.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. I just got bored watching you sleep," he apologized.

"That's fine," I said, yawning. "Where am I?"

"You are at the home of Organization XIII, Castle Oblivion," he said spreading his arms.

"And, this is your room?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

h "No, this is Axels' room, but he's away on a mission in Agrabah. So, he won't be back for another day or so," Demyx said, skipping over to me, sitting on, this so-called, Axels' bed.

"Why am I here?" I asked.

"Mansex, I mean, Xemnas, wanted you here to lure your brother and Sora here so he could finish Kingdom Hearts," Demyx smiled.

"What? You mean, I'm a prisoner here? Do I get to eat?" I asked, my voice rising higher and higher with each word.

Demyx's eyes widened at my hysterics, "I'll get you some food. Just stay here. Xemnas would kill me and anyone else that would ever let you escape."

"Sorry, sorry. I shouldn't freak out," I apologized.

Breathe, Alixen, breathe.

"It's okay. I'll be right back. Wait, what do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Whatever you like, I'm fine with," I said.

"Really? You're okay with Peeps and gumdrops?" he said, jumping up and down.

"Uh, no. Can I get some cereal?" I asked.

"What kind?" he asked, his smile fading.

"Captain Crunch Berries?" I asked.

His smile returned, "That's my favorite kind! I'll be right back."

He left skipping. The door closed him and I looked around.

This Axel doesn't decorate much, I thought.

The walls were all white, along with the carpet, and all remaining surfaces. I saw that one chair was bright red. It looked lonely, sitting in the corner of this white room all by its self. I looked down, remembering that I was still sitting beneath the blankets of a large bed. The comforter was black and the sheets were red.

I realized; Ack! I'm in some guys bed!

I jumped up and ran to the lonely red chair. I crunched up, revolting from the huge red and black thing. I cried for a few minutes, waiting for Demyx.

I looked at Kingdom Hearts, Well, it's not that's magnificent. I wonder why Sora has to stop Xemnas from finishing it?

The door opened and a figure with bright red spiky hair sauntered through.

He looked exhausted, I watched him from my chair in the corner, hoping my clothes wouldn't stand out.

To my surprise, he started changing his clothes.

He stripped off his long black coat, revealing a thin muscular body. He started unbuttoning his pants when Demyx came in the room, carrying a bowl and a box of cereal.

"Demyx?" the redhead said, pulling his coat back on.

"Axel, what are you doing back so soon?" Demyx's eyes flashed to me.

Axel must have seen it because he turned and saw me sitting in his chair.

"Demyx, why is there a girl in my room?" he asked calmly, though his shaking shoulders could be seen from my position.

"Mansex kidnapped her and she's prisoner here. In your room," Demyx admitted.

Axel turned to me, eyes burning, "How long?"

"Until Leon comes to save his kid-sister."

"Hey, I'm not a kid! I'm almost seventeen," I yelled at them.

"And what am I going to do? Live in a closet?!" Axel screamed at the poor blonde clutching the cereal.
