A/N: This is the next chapter to our little story. I originally set it to a M rating but decided that that was a little much. I'm also starting the story just a little after they recruited Raelix. Also if anyone actually reads this, please R/R cus I would love to hear your opinions. Also any questions are welcome. Oh! I'll also be using this chapter to kinda introduce some of the pairings in the story.

Disclaimer: I own none of Kingdom Hearts. I only own these characters and they're story.


Liexand was sitting at a large table, with a few books he had taken from Beasts Library. A few seats away sat Nexus, who was arranging some flowers in a vase and placing them in the middle of the table. Dax, Xavier, and Xandra were at the other end playing cards. Surprisingly, Dax was letting Xandra win the game but made sure that Xavier was dealt a crushing defeat each time. Liexand knew why he was doing this and couldn't help but smile. Over the short time Dax had known Xandra he seemed to have grown quite fond of her. Suddenly, the door burst open and there stood Lexi in the doorway. "I'VE DONE IT!" She shouted, holding up a vial. We all looked over just in time to see her concoction explode in her hand. The smoke cleared, leaving a charred Lexi in it's wake. "I'LL BE BACK!" She shouted, shuffling off to her lab. I blinked twice before looking at the others, who were also shocked. Nexus let out a chuckle. "I didn't see it, but that sounded like a doozy." He said, rearranging his flowers. Liexand stood up from his seat, and dusted himself off. He picked up the small stack of books on the table and exited the room through a portal. He entered into beast's library, looking around before walking over to a random bookshelf and returning the books to their home.

Lexi was slowly about to pour a drop of liquid into a vial of blue liquid, when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and accidently poured the entire bottle into the vial. "Oops." Was all she could say before the vial blew up in her face. "Come in!" She called, whiping her face off with a rag. The door creaked open to reveal Nexus, who peeked in before entering, even though he couldn't see. "I'm here to see if you finished that plant elixir that I asked you for." He said, approaching her cautiously. She grabbed him by the cloak and pulled him close. "Oh it's ready alright!" She said, before pulling him in for a kiss. She let him go and he looked down at her. "Um...That was lovely, but is my elixir ready?" He asked, slightly confused. "Oh...you were serious? That's what you actually came for?" She asked, puzzled by this fact. He rubbed his neck and cleared his throat. "Yes...yes it is." He said, looking to his side nervously. "Oh. Ok then." She replied, walking over to her desk. "I wouldn't mind continuing where we left off though." He said, before spinning her around to kiss her passionately.

Liexand walked through the halls of The Castle That Never Was, trying to remember where his room was. He was about to round the corner when he bumped into one of the other members. "Oh goodness. I'm sorry superior. I didn't mean to run into you like that." Raelix said, helping Liexand up and dusting off his coat. "Oh. That's alright Raelix. I'm fine." Liexand replied, waving the boy off. "So how are you enjoying your time here with us?" Liexand asked him, with a smile. "It's great! I don't know that many people yet, but I'm really enjoying myself." Raelix said, returning the smile. "That's great! Don't worry though. After awhile you'll find yourself getting really close with everyone here." Liexand smiled again, before patting the boy on the shoulder and walking away. "I'd really like to get to know you better." Raelix mumbled, wrapping his arms around himself. "Did you say something?" Liexand asked, turning back around. "Oh! No sir. I didn't say anything." Raelix stammered, his eyes wide with shock. "Oh...Ok then. Bye!" Liexand said, waving to him as he left. Raelix let out a heavy sigh as he turned around and made his way to his room.

Leanex was sitting in the large library, that was hdden until Lorix informed her and Xenos of it's location in the castle. They spent a lot of time there together, usually ending up late to meetings because of how drawn in they are to reading. Leanex however, wasn't much of a reader and really spent her time there to be with Xenos, who was a real power reader. The other member's rarely ever saw them, since they were always held up in the library. Lexa walked in through the large doors to find them sitting on a couch giggling with each other. It was strange though, cause whenever Lexa saw Xenos before he was usually grimacing. Xenos was waving his hands in the air telling Leanex a story of how he was once chased through Beast's Castle after knocking over a row of bookshelves. Lexa let out a chuckle before closing the door to give them some privacy. She was really happy to see everyone getting along.

After walking for what felt like a couple hours, Liexand found him self in the castles lounge room. He plopped down on a couch, letting out a groan of exasperation and covering his face with his hand. He didn't think he'd ever know the castle like Lorix did. With his hand over his eyes he didn't notice the small figure watching him from the kitchen door. He dropped his hand to his side to find Alix staring down at him, with a smile. "Um...Hi?" Liexand said, raising an eyebrow. "HI! I brought you this ice cream! You looked kinda down." She said, handing him the stick. He smiled down at the ice cream and bit a chunk from the corner. "Thanks Alix." He said, smiling at the girl. "You were really great the other day. At the coliseum." She said, licking her ice cream. "Oh that? Heh thanks. They were pretty strong." He chuckled. "Liexand I've been thinking. It would be really nice if you-" She was interrupted by Lorix's appearence in the doorway. "Superior. I need a word with you." He said, glaring viciously at Alix. "Oh, um, ok." Liexand said, standing up from his seat on the couch. "Do you think we can continue this talk later Alix?" Liexand asked her with a smile. He too had something to tell her, but now wasn't the time. Not with Lorix here. Alix nodded, a slightly depressed look on her face. "Superior?" Lorix grunted, motioning out the doorway with a nod of his head. Liexand smiled at Alix once more before leaving the room.


A/N: Yes it's short, but I was really just using this chapter to introduce some of the pairings in the story. Some romance's might sprout mid story but these are the one that are in bloom right now. I know I said no yaoi but it's not gonna get into anything too deep. Just hints of Raelix's secret love for Liexand. My sister says I've been reading too much Larxel but I strongly disagree. Though those stories did inspire his love for him. But anywho! I hope you enjoy and I'll have chapter 2 up later this week. R/R!
