Respect that is all he ever asked for, but being the lowest rank of organization XIII meant you had no respect at all, and it didn't help that you're also the youngest member, and all the other members are at least seven years older than you which also meant that you were treated as much as a four year old was treated.
Sure Axel was his best friend and respected him some but it didn't start out like that, in fact when he first joined they didn't know if his favorite TV show would be Supernatural or Barney, and some were still like that, it was annoying. Sure it was fun that when he and Axel did pranks he always got off the hook with the excuse that 'he was only a child and didn't know any better,' and that everyone else should be an 'example' to him.
And it was cool that all he had to go was show Xemnas puppy eyes and he got what he wanted, Axel was happy when he figured that out, and often make Roxas abuse that power, but even with all that he still wanted respect, but no matter how hard he tried he never got it, which is why Roxas was currently standing in the rain underneath tall structure of memory skyscraper, waiting for heartless to come so he could let his frustration out on them.
Summoning Oathkeeper and Oblivion at the sight of shadows, Roxas bent down and swung oblivion at the heartless killing them with one swing, swinging oathkeeper the other way to slice the shadow heartless' behind him, all that was left was the little pink hearts floating up toward the sky and tiny bits up money left on the ground, the small boy stridded right past them without another thought, he was in search for more heartless.
As the rain soaked through his uniform, the small child shivered slightly, but gripped on the hilts of his beloved weapons tightly, ever more determined to slaughter whatever dared to cross his path.
He suddenly heard a sound, tensing up in alertness; his eyes darted left to right, gripping his keyblades ever more tightly waiting for something to jump out at him. He heard the sound again but couldn't make out what it was, perking up his ears he stood as sill as a statue listening intensely over the rain.
The small blonde was able to locate which direction the sound was coming from, the location was an ally close by, he took cautious steps toward the ally never letting his guard down, as he got closer the sound became more familiar.
He finally figured out what it was, it was crying, but it couldn't be one of the organization, because they didn't have hearts and couldn't cry, but also because it was an infants cry. The little key bearer reached the end of the ally and he could hear the crying coming from a soggy cardboard box that was being sumwhat sheltered from the rain.
Letting his guard down slightly the boy walked over to the box and bent down to his knees, lifting the flaps of the box out of the way so he could look in, sure enough, a small baby not even a year old yet, in fact Roxas wasn't even sure is it was even six months old yet, was wrapped on a fluffy pink blanket lying inside the box, crying loudly.
Who the heck would leave a baby here? Roxas thought about it a little more, actually, how the heck could someone leave a baby here?
They baby who Roxas figured was a girl from the pink blanket but wasn't in any hurry to check, didn't seem that wet but her face was soaking form tears, maybe she's a nobody?
The Key of Destiny reached his hand out to feel for a heart but hesitated a moment, "Alright don't take this the wrong way" he said out loud then felt her chest for a heart beat.
He did feel a dull thumping coming from the infant's chest, so she's not a nobody. Roxas stood up, his first instincts would have been to leave well enough along and that what he went with, but as he walked away, something twinge inside of him as he heard the girl cry, I can't just leave her to cry to her death, I'll at least get her to stop crying then go.
Making his way back over to the screaming box the young boy bent down and picked up the small infant wrapped in the blanket, holding her awkwardly and rocked her gently. After a few minutes her crying creased and she fell into a gentle sleep.
As soon as Roxas decided to go back to that helpless infant was the end for Roxas, he should of left well enough along for as soon as he bent down to put the slumbering girl back in the box the twinge inside of him became something he couldn't ignore, he wouldn't be able to leave her even if he was heartless.
But he tried anyway and only made four steps before looking back at the box, what am I going to do, I won't be able to sleep at night if I leave her, but I can't take her back to the castle, Xemnas won't even let us have a hamster let along a baby. How was it possible for him to feel guilt, he wasn't supposed to be capable of it.
The boy stood in the rain completely torn, at last he sighed, "I know I'm going to regret this" he stated and went over to the box and gently lifted the baby up. Holding her close to his chest he portalled to the castle outside his room, praying that Axel wasn't hanging around in there at the moment, he often did that when he was bored, even if Roxas wasn't there.
Twisting the doorknob before opening it the boy sighed with relief to find that the room was empty, he laid the sleeping infant on his bed, where am I going to leave her, Roxas visually searched his room, spotting a large cardboard box in the corner that he used to put his CDs in, I guess that'll work.
The Key of destiny grabbed the box dumping out the CDs before bringing it over to the bed and put one of his extra blankets in it making it soft and comfy, he then laid the baby inside the box, and it was the perfect cradle size. The small boy smiled triumphantly and set the boy next to the bed out of site from someone standing by the door. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
Well I decided to just post this story, but reviewing is still what I mainly do though I might try beta reading after I've been here longer, this is only the prologue, but this story will be short, there will probably only be two other chapters after this one.
