Chapter Two: Tag-Team Assignment

It had been about two weeks since the girls had joined the organization, becoming rather close to Roxas and Xion as their personalities seemed to mingle quit well. Though Axel was the former two's best friend he couldn't stand being around Mixie, she was just so damn obnoxious! Her friend Ashix wasn't much better, having little to no emotion most of the time. Yet it seemed spending time around the three was slowing bringing them to the surface more times than not, but the girl still crept him out.

Said red head was in his room examining his chakrams, making sure there were no dents or scratches that could jeopardize his performance work wise when there was suddenly a knock on his door, a familiar blonde popping his head into the room. "Hey Axel, Saix wants to see us." Demyx smiled as axel scowled at him. "Fine!" He nearly spat, being in no mood to put up with the eccentric male he quickly made a portal to the mission room leaving behind a confused sitar player who followed suit.

Once there, Axel immediately noticed that Mixie and Ashix were also present in the room making his scowl deepen as he as Demyx approached the blue haired berserker. "You called?" He drawled out with sarcasm lacing his words in which Saix narrowed his amber eyes. "Indeed." The male began as he handed a piece of paper to the two females and then to Demyx and himself.

"Since the girls have been here awhile, we need to evaluate their strengths to see how far they have progressed." Before Axel could ask the bluenette raised his hand to cut him off. "There for this mission will have two teams, you and Demyx ." Said blonde hung his head a bit, most likely having wanted to be with Ashix. Demyx had been trying to befriend her for a while but so far was failing miserably.

"Then Mixie and Ashix. Both teams are to go to Hollow bastion and destroy as many heartless as possible before time runs out. You will have roughly an hour to get back." Demyx scratched his head in confusion. "How will you know who has won?" The blonde flinched as Saix glared at him. "I just will, now off with you." The male turned his back to the four as he went back to his own business.

"Well it looks as though we have it easy again." Mixie's smug voice rang out into the room, Axel swiveled on his heels to turn and glare at her though it did little more than make the brunette laugh. "We'll see whose laughing last when I humiliate you by winning." He shot back, the two instantly getting into an argument over who was better.

Demxy and Ashix merely stood by watching the two with slight amusement and exasperation. "Honestly…" The grey eyed girl sighed as once again, the two were at each other's throats because of Mixie's taunting. "Well you can say things are never dull with the two of them around. The blonde male grinned at her though she merely stared blankly back. "I suppose so."

After a few more minutes of arguing, Ashix decided it was time to end it by pulling Mixie away from Axel and summoning a portal. "Work to do." Was her only reply when her partner asked why she hadn't let them continue their small spat.
