Chain Øf Hearts
Chapter 2: His new mission


Two pairs of emerald green eyes opened at a dark ceiling. He sat up. Red bangs falling infront of his eyes. Despite the way that he was sleeping during the night, his hair was still in the same style it usually was. He looked so much like a hedge hog. He brushed a bang from his face with his black gloved hand. Apparently he had slept in his normal clothes. Which were all the same color.

He swung over to the edge of his bed and stood up stretching. He had black boots, black pants, black shirt, black gloves, and a really nice looking black leather trenchcoat that was zipped down to just above his knee level. He had a silver chain thing that went across his chest, attached to his hood, in the shape of an "M". He had a black tattoo like tear below each of his eyes.

He took a comb and then took it through his hair quickly. Not that it mattered since his hair style never changed no matter what he did. He sighed, admitting defeat to his comb before going out of his room into the hallway of where he lived, and worked. He walked past some people he knew, others wearing the exact same outfit, in different sizes of course, as he was. Some had their hoods up, while others preferred their hoods down.

"Hey, Axel!" Called someone from behind him. The redhead looked back to see his caller. He went blank. " Hi, Demyx.." He said. Why did he have to come bother me now of all times..? I mean... It's bad enough he tries to pin his missions on me so he doesn't have to do the ones that involve fighting, but bothering me every morning just gets annoying after awhile... He thought.

" Morning, Axel... Uhm... I was wondering... did you look at the mission's board yet?" Demyx asked. The redhead now known as Axel stared at him blankly. "I just woke up, so it's obvious I haven't yet.." He said boredly. Silently praying for Demyx to go away.

"Oh well.. I see.. But.. Can you do this one little favor for me..?" He asked. Axel sighed. " If it's another mission then the answer is no..." He answered point blank. Demyx blinked. " Waaaaah? Why not?" He whined. Axel sighed and made funny hand gestures with his hand as he spoke. " You do it yourself, I am not your maid, your a member of Organization XIII.. You are also a retard.." Tapped his forehead with his index finger. " Got it memorized..?" He asked. And with that, he left Demyx, who was confused and dumbfounded in the middle of the hallway.


Axel made his way to the Mission's Board. He sighed in irritation as he looked at it. Searching through for a particular kind of mission. Sometimes Axel's boss would give a member a mission by order. Other times people could volunteer. It depended on how important the mission was. Many a time was Demyx chosen for the wrong kind of mission, which was why he so often tried to give it to Axel as a favor.

So today Axel was looking to volunteer for a mission. None of them seemed very interesting, though. Usually there was at least one interesting mission. But today none of them seemed to interest him the slightest bit. But that was before Saix, another member, came up to him. " Hey, Axel... Xemnas wants to see you.. he says he's got a mission for you.." He said.

Saix had light blue hair that went down 2 inches past his shoulder. His eyes somewhat red. He was slightly broader than Axel was. And he had a scar across his face in an X shape. Axel stared at him blankly. Yes he heard him but he hated Saix, just as much as Saix hated him.

"Very well..." Axel said blankly before going past Saix to see his boss. He wondered what the mission couch have been about? It didn't really matter, as long as he had something to do to pass the time of boring day. Even a member of Organization XIII had their moments of complete boredom. Yes, even Axel had them.


Axel entered the room where his boss spent most of his time. He walked past some other members who were just doings walks out of boredom. He looked up ahead of him at the man known as his boss. " Did you want something, Xemnas..?" Axel asked calmly as he stood still.

The figure turned to face him, he lifted his hands and removed his hood. Hi hair was white, his skin was slightly tanned and his eyes were and amber colored yellow. He looked at Axel giving a slight smile, though not a friendly one, it looked more sadistic. " Well, hello Axel.. I see you got Saix's message..?" He asked. Axel just nodded. Quit with the formal talk old man and give me my mission so I can get it over with already... He thought.

"What's the mission..?" Axel asked, trying to speed things up. Xemnas folded his arms. " Impatient aren't we..? Tsk Tsk.." He said, a slight smirk. Axel sighed, rolling his eyes. " Let's skip the formalities, sir... And cut to the chase.. what's my mission?" Axel asked again.

Xemnas finally had to give him what he wanted and looked up at the ceiling. " Well... for starters.. there's been alot of things happening in this one world town... What I need you to do is to-" But Axel interrupted. "- Check it out for you..? What a boring mission.." He said. " Maybe you should give this one to Demyx..." Axel offered. Xemnas sighed. "You didn't let me finish.." He said. Then thought of something. " I heard that where Roxas is... So I decided to choose you for this mission.." Whatever words came after the name Roxas weren't heard by Axel one bit.

"I'll do it.." He said, interrupting whatever else Xemnas said. Who smirked slightly again. "Very well... I knew you would.." He said. Axel looked up at him. " What's the name of this town..?" Axel asked, eager to leave. The name Roxas meant alot to him. More than anything else in the world.

Xemnas watched him curiously before replying with a hand gesture that said "Simple". He looked at Axel. " The town is called... Kodani..." Xemnas said simply. Waiting for some sort of reaction from Axel or whatever. Axel rose a brow. " Kodani..?" He asked. Why does that name sound so familiar? He wondered. Oh what the hell does it matter! If it means I can find Roxas I'll go!

"Alright... I'll be going... so you want me to check out the weird things that have been going on, while at the same time look for Roxas..?" Axel asked. Xemnas nodded. " Precisely.. Let me know what you've learned and anything else that happens during your visit in Kodani, your dismissed, Axel.." Said Xemnas turning and facing the window behind him. Axel nodded with a respectful bow of the head before turning and going out.

While out in the hall Axel created a dark portal. He closed his eyes for a moment while it had formed. Why does the name Kodani sound so familiar to me..? He wondered once again. Then he just grunted and shrugged. Oh well, it doesn't matter right now... The important thing is I might have a clue as to where Roxas is... He thought, before walking into the portal. It disappeared behind him as soon as he stepped through.
Axel stepped out of the portal into a town. " So this is Kodani.." he said quietly, while putting up his hood. " A nice place... So quiet though..." He grunted and walked on as the portal disappeared into thin air.

Taking a look around, Axel noticed that it was a pretty big town. Not only that but there were people walking about the sidewalks, the nearby park, the beach, kids playing togeth- Wait a minute, a beach? Axel looked over at the beach and walked toward it. Standing on the sand and looking out at the sunrise. Suddenely a bolt of deja vew hit him.

Why did this seem so familiar to him? It shouldn't have, he didn't even remember this town. So why did it feel like he had known if forever when it was obvious he didn't? The question lingered awhile.

The silence of standing there, hood still up, as he watched the sunrise, was overwelming. However it didn't last long cause he had heard a sharp intake of breath behind him. He looked back slightly, making sure his hood was up enough so it wouldn't come done or show the slightest hint of his identity.

On the nearby sidewalk stood a girl, with blue shoulderlength hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing a white summer dress that went down an inch above her knees. Her eyes on him for several moments. He kept the gaze. Curious at this person for staring at him like this. Then the silence between them was broken.

"You.." She said quietly, but audible, her eyes narrowing. " Your that guy, aren't you!" She yelled at him with a glare. Axel was confused slightly but furhter interested by her accusation. What guy..? He wondered to himself.

"What guy...?" He asked, curiously. She growled at him. " Your the one, aren't you! The one who killed him! Aren't you, aren't you!" She yelled, angerily. Axel was further interested and curious.

"Kill? Kill who..?" He asked another question, surely her answers could help him. Who's the one? Who killed who? He wondered once more.

"Your the guy who killed Alex, aren't you!" She accused. Axel blinked under his hood, without notice. Alex..? Who the hell is Alex? He inquired himself. " I think you might be mistaken Miss.. I don't know any Alex..." He said calmly.

"You must be! I'd never mistaken that trenchcoat!" She yelled, clenching fists in balls of rage. Trenchcoat..? Someone from the Organization must be responcible for this... He thought. Then straightened slightly.

" I'm not the only guy with a trenchcoat-" He was interrupted. "-Then who killed Alex a year ago, hmm! He was killed in this very beach! Do you know! Who killed my best friend!" She demanded.

Axel was dumbstruck for the first time in his whole memory bank. A year ago... hmm... I doubt the Organization would kill someone... Maybe turn them into a Nobody too by summoning a heartless... It does make it look like someone's dieing.. However... I would have known this Alex if there was one in our organization... He thought.

"Your mistaken.. this is the very first time I've been to this town, girl... now please continue on with your buisiness... I got things I need to do while I'm here.." He tapped his forehead, through his hood, with his index finger. " Got it memorized..?" He asked.

The girl's eyes widened slightly, as if his last sentence struck her. Then they narrowed again. " My name isn't Girl it's Hikari..." She scowled.

Axel just shrugged. " Like I would know..?" He asked. The girl known as Hikari glared before looking away. "Whatever your buisiness is.. hurry up, do it, and then get out..." She said fiercly before she started walking on.

Axel was curious. " What a wierd girl..." He said quietly to himself. He looked to where he was standing, to the sand.. If he was confronted by a member right here... Then maybe I can figure out what happened... Did they just take his heart? Kill him? What..? He wondered. He looked back at the sunrise before walking away from the beach to continue his mission, all the while, for some odd reason, thinking about that girl's words.
