So this is a random little story I came up with one day. I have no idea where I got the idea but I hope you all like it.

Note: This story starts a few days before Roxas joins the organization.

Axel: Riku Kingdom Hearts is tired of doing disclaimers for every chapter of every story. Riku Kingdom Heart is not doing them any more, you know what the disclaimer is. Got it memorized?

2018 Update: As of August 2018 I am slowly going back through these older chapters and editing them and fixing them up to the best of my ability.

Ch.1 The Little Girl

There was three more Heartless left. Axel swung his chakrams at one of the Heartless, destroying it. Axel had been in Twilight Town all day destroying Heartless. He was in the tunnels at the time as he fought against the Heartless. He was exhausted from the work, but once he finished his job, he knew the first thing he was going to do was take a nap.

After Axel had finished destroying the Heartless in the tunnels he made his way back up to the surface. He came out of the Underground Passage by the clock tower where a group of Heartless appeared as soon as he stepped outside.

Axel sighed and thought to himself, "There is just no end to this."

He charged at the Heartless, hitting them with his chakrams. As he fought the Heartless he didn't notice a little girl, who looked about five-years-old, was watching him from behind a stack of boxes next to the stairs of the clock tower. After the short battle with the Heartless was over, Axel started heading in the direction of the dark corridor. As soon Axel started walking, he felt something tugging on the side of his cloak. He stopped walking and turned his head and looked down.

Holding onto the side of his cloak was a little girl. She was short, but she came up to Axel's thigh. She had short auburn hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts that ended just above her knees, and she had pink and yellow shoes on. The little girl looked up at Axel with her big, curious blue eyes.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?" Axel asked with slight irritation in his voice. He was tired and didn't want to deal with something like a little kid at the moment. The little girl said nothing but, she held Axel's cloak a little tighter.

"Come on kid get lost."

The little girl still wouldn't move, she just stood there looking at Axel. Axel bent over, placing one hand on his hip and waving the other hand in front of the girl. "Hello? Anyone there?"

After another moment of silence Axel looked down and sighed. But then he felt something grab onto his hand. He looked back up to see the little girl was now holding his hand. She now was looking at him and smiling sweetly.

"No no no. I don't have time for this. Look kid, let go of me. Go back to where you came from." Axel yanked his hand out of the little girl's grip and started walking away. As he walked he looked back to see that the little girl was following him, Axel stopped, turned around and bent over to look at the girl directly in the face. "Stop following me. Go away."

Axel then briskly walked away, not looking back again. He walked all the way back to where the dark corridor was. Before he entered he looked behind him and around the area. He saw no sight of the little girl anywhere. With a sigh a of relief he entered the portal. Little did he know that the little girl had been directly behind him, staying right behind him the whole time so he couldn't see her. Axel also didn't notice that she entered the portal with him.

Axel entered at the bottom of The Castle that Never Was, and started walking up the stairs. When he was almost at the top he was greeted by Saix.

"So Axel, did you finish your mission?" Saix asked.

"Yes I did. You don't have to ask me ever time to make sure I did it. You should be asking Demyx if he did his mission," Axel said with the roll of his eyes.

"Yes I know, but Axel, why do you have a little follower?" Saix asked in his normal monotone voice as he looked behind Axel.

"What? What are you..." Axel slowly started to ask as he turned around to see what Saix was looking at. His eyes widened as he saw none other than the little girl behind him. "What?! You?! How did you get here?! Why are you following me?!"

As expected the little girl said nothing in response but walked up to Axel and grabbed his cloak and held it tight.

Axel turned to look at Saix, "What am I supposed to do?!"

"I don't know, but for now watch over her, she will be your responsibility," Saix said as he turned to leave.

"You can't be serious. I have to watch over this...little...clinging thing?!" Axel shouted angrily as he pointed to the little girl.

Saix stopped walking and looked back at Axel, "Yes that is what I said." Saix then continued walking until he was out of sight.

Axel sighed frustratedly and looked at the girl, "Look if I have to watch over you at least tell me your name. Can you at least do that?"

The little girl looked at him and smiled, "Emina, my name is Emina." Her voice was the sweet and cute voice as she smiled.

"Emina. Fine. My name's Axel. Got it memorized?" Axel asked as he pointed to the side of his forehead.

Emina nodded and threw her arms around Axel's legs. "Axel." She said happily. "My first friend Axel."

End of chapter 1! I hoped you liked it. Sorry if it was short. I didn't know what else to add to ch.1 but the next chapters will be longer. Please tell me what you think.
