Hello and welcome to chapter 2! I wrote this really fast and I couldn't wait to post it. So here you go, chapter 2!
enjoy.
Ch.2 Thank you
"Hey. Come on let go of me," Axel said as he looked at Emina hugging him.
"Alright Axel," Emina said as she let go.
Axel then continued walking up The Castle That Never Was. Emina was walking right by his side. After a minute Emina looked and Axel and said, "Thank you."
Axel stopped walking and looked at Emina, "What do you mean 'thank you'?"
"Thank you for destroying the scary monsters from before," Emina smiled.
"Scary monsters?" Axel questioned, "Oh you must mean the Heartless."
Emina turned her head in confusion, "Heartless?" Emina thought about it for a second, then smiled at Axel. "Ok. Thank you for destroying the Heartless."
"Sure kid. Whatever. But why are you following me around? Don't you have parents?"
Emina's smile faded as she looked down, "No. My mommy and daddy are gone."
"Gone? What do you mean?" Axel asked, he was actually a bit curious.
"The scary monsters...I mean the Heartless got them. Heartless attacked my mommy and daddy, then my mommy and daddy were gone."
Axel immediately felt sorry for Emina. She was only five and she had lost her parents to the Heartless, but that didn't give her the right to follow Axel around. He didn't want a little kid around bothering him. But Axel did have to say something, but the only thing he could think to say was, "I'm sorry."
Emina looked up at Axel, she looked right into his eyes and smiled, "I'll be okay. I have you now." She then grabbed his hand and held it tightly, but Axel pulled his hand away and started walking again. Emina sighed and followed behind him.
Axel entered the Grey Room with Emina following behind him. Xigbar was the only one in the room at the time, sitting on one of the couches. When Axel entered, Xigbar got up and walked over to him.
"Well Axel, who's the little one?" Xigbar said as he smirked, looking down at Emina, who was hiding behind Axel.
"She followed me back here and she won't leave me alone. Can you help me?" Axel asked.
Xigbar chuckled, "Ha ha, nope. Not my problem." He then left the Grey Room laughing.
Axel sighed and went over to one of the couches and sat down, and began to rub his forehead. Emina walked up and sat down beside him. She looked around the room with curiosity.
"This is a big place," She stated as she continued to look around the room.
"Yep sure is," Axel muttered as he rolled his eyes. He was annoyed with Emina and he really didn't want her to be here. But he knew there wasn't anything he could do about it. A moment later Saix walked into the room, looking right at Axel.
"Axel I need to talk to you...alone." He said as he looked at Emina who nodded in response. She then went back to examining the room.
"Fine. That's ok with me," Axel said as he got up and walked over to Saix, who lead him out into the hall.
"I talked to Xemnas about what we should do with the girl. He said we should find out more about her. Has she told you anything about herself?"
"Yeah, she told me her name is Emina and that her parents her killed by the Heartless."
"Hmm interesting," Saix said, almost seeming surprised, but as usual he spoke with his emotionless voice. "I shall report this to Xemnas." Saix turned to leave, but Axel quickly spoke up.
"Wait, let me come with, I want to hear what Xemnas has to say."
Saix faced him and shook his head, "No you need to watch the girl. We can't have her getting lost here."
"Fine..." Axel grumbled as he walked back into the Grey Room and sat down on a couch. Emina was now wandering around looking out the large window.
"Such a view from up here," She commented. Once she was down looking out the window, she turned around and walked over to Axel, "So this is where you live?"
"That's right." Axel said.
"So are you part of a group or something?" Emina asked as she sat next to Axel. "Because you are wearing a black coat and so were the other two."
"Well you could say I'm part of a group but it's more of an organization. In fact we actually call our group 'Organization XIII'."
"Oh really? Cool. So how many people are in the organization?" Emina asked.
Axel gave a heavy sigh, he was tired of Emina asking him question but he didn't want her to keep bugging him about it so he decided to answer her next question. "There are twelve of us right now, including me. Now don't ask me any more questions, I'm done answering them. Got it memorized?"
Emina looked at Axel with her big eyes. She scooched a little closer to him and then asked, "Can I just ask one more question?"
"No."
"Please? Just one more."
"Look kid, I'm not going to answer anymore questions."
Emina finally sighed and nodded, "Okay."
Saix entered the room again and motioned for Axel to come over. Axel quickly got up and walked over to Saix. As soon as he was near he asked, "So what did Xemnas say?"
"He said that we should keep the girl with us. She might be of some use to us."
"Wait… You mean she'd be around all time? Constantly following me?" Axel moaned. This was not what he wanted to hear.
"If there is a problem you can go talk to Xemnas yourself," Saix simply said.
"Nah, I am good. I just don't like her following me and asking me so many questions."
"Well you'll just have to deal with it. But take her down the hall to a room for her to sleep in. We have enough extra rooms."
"Fine, but I am not enjoying this." Axel grumbled as he walked over to Emina. "Come on, follow me."
Emina stood up and smiled. "Ok Axel."
Axel walked out of the Grey Room and walked down the hall. When he came to an empty room he stopped and opened the door, "Well this is where you'll be sleeping."
Emina looked into the room for a moment before she walked in. "Wow it's big and white, like the rest of this place."
"Yeah, whatever," Axel said as he turned to leave. But before he could leave Emina ran up to him and hugged him.
"Goodnight Axel," She said sweetly.
"Hey don't hug me." Axel grumbled, trying to push Emina off him.
Emina giggled and let go of Axel. "Ok Axel. Goodnight."
As Axel walked down to his room he thought about Emina. "Why does she like me so much? All I did as get rid of some Heartless. I had to, I was my job. It doesn't seem like she can ever get upset though. Girls are complicated...even little girls." Axel then entered his room and went to bed.
So that was chapter 2. Hope you are all enjoy this story. I will have chapter 3 up when ever I can, which will hopefully be soon.
