Roxas stormed down the hallways not even noticing where he was going or knowing that he would get lost in this huge place. Not that he cared, why did she have to be here, of all the Boarding Schools out there way did she have to be at this one. Finally realizing that he was totally lost, he stopped walking but still breathing deeply and started beating his fists against a wall, harder and harder.

"Hey kid, I'd appreciate it if you did not punch a hole in the wall, because if you do than I'll be the one who'll repair it."

Roxas looked up at the sudden voice. There was a young man casually leaning against the wall next a window. He had unnatural bright red hair which spiked out in all directions and was clothed in black paints a green shirt and a gray jacket. He reached in his pocket and took out a cigarette. He lit it with a lighter and took a puff and took a step toward the blonde. "So what's got you tied in a knot?" He asked.

Roxas just looked away and turned around and leaned his back against the opposite wall. The man just smirked and walked over next to Roxas and leaned against the wall next to him. Roxas wondered what he was doing here; he looked too old to be a senior but a little too young to be a teacher. He took another huff of the cancer stick before pressing on. "So what's your sad story?"

Roxas glared at him for his nosiness. "None of your business." He seethed venom dripping from his words.

"Fair enough." The red head reasoned and there was a short comfortable silence. "Sorry where are my manners." He dug in his pocket and pulled out another cigarette. "Want one." He offered the stick.

Roxas just gave him a look and raised his eyebrows not accepting it. The man just laughed at him. "Good job, I wasn't going to give it to you either way, I always do that to the new students that arrive just to see if they accept it or not, and you passed my test."

"Well thanks … I guess." Roxas replied.

"My names Axel, what's yours?"

Roxas hesitated a moment before deciding to answer. "Roxas … so are you a teacher or …"

Axel snorted at that. "Oh please, I'm so not a teacher and before you ask I'm not a student either, I'm here on community service." He brought the death stick to his mouth again taking another puff and blowing smoke out of his mouth.

There was another short silence that was interrupted by someone down the hall. "Axel we need your help up front, some kids' bag slit open."

Axel stood up from the wall. "Well, see ya around kid." He flicked the half used cigarette out an open window as he walked off.

Roxas sighed again to himself, maybe it wasn't a good idea to come here.

"Come on Kairi; tell me what's going on between you and Roxas."

Kairi let out a frustrated growl, he roommate Olette had been following her around since the run in she had with Roxas trying to get her to explain why Roxas reacted that way when he saw her. "Listen Olette, I just don't want to talk about it ok."

"Well fine, than maybe I'll just ask Roxas so he'll tell me." Olette threatened.

Kairi stopped dead and turned to look at her friend. "He won't tell you anything either, and please don't ask him it'll only make things worse."

Now Olette was starting to get frustrated. "Why can't you tell me?" She gave Kairi a betrayed look. "I'm your friend aren't I?"

Kairi just gave her a sorrowful look. "Of course you're my friend Olette. And as a friend I'm asking you to leave it alone please, it's just too soon."

The brunette just sighed in defeat. "All right I won't ask Roxas about, just promise me that one day you'll tell me."

"All right I promise, one day I'll tell you."

Roxas lay in his bed with a bad case of insomnia, he looked over at his digital clock as it changed to 1:52am and sighed miserably, this wasn't going to go well tomorrow morning. His roommate that he still didn't know his name was not in the room at the moment, which confused Roxas. It was two in the morning and he was out, wasn't the rule be in your rooms with lights out by ten, eleven on weekends.

His mind trailed off from his weird roommate to past memories. The happy days unlike now…

"Hay Roxas, look at what I found." A four year old Roxas was on the beach with another four your old who just showed him a sand crab that he found.

Roxas' eyes widened at the sight of it. "Wow Sora, where'd you find it, I want one two."

"I found it over in the wet sand, but you got to dig for it." Sora explained and the two four year olds went running into the ocean.

Tears started to prickle at Roxas' eyes as he recalled that memory, and how happy he was then, everything was different now. His memories were interrupted by a soft sound that he heard. He couldn't quiet make out what it was, he sat up and strained his ears to listen. As the seconds ticked by the sound got a little louder, then it came it him, crying. It was someone crying, but he couldn't make out where it was coming from.

After a minute he could make out that it was a woman cry and it was assonated with struggle sounds and chains clanking, and the crying got harsher as the seconds went by. Then he was able to make out where the crying was coming from … it was coming from his closet.

He tensed up at noticing this, there was a woman in his closet crying harshly and problem chained up. He first thought was he should get up and go help her. But fear and suspicion held him back; the question loomed on him about why the heck was a woman in his closet. After a moment of considering he slowly stood up and started walking toward the closet door.

Who would be in there, a teacher a student, would they be beaten and bloody. He stepped closer and closer the cries getting louder with each step. He closed his hand on the door knob and slowing turned it then quickly threw the door opened and …

… No one was in there, nothing but his shirts, jacket, and shoes. No women and the crying creased as soon as the door was swung open. He stared disbelievingly at the inside of the closet before closet door. He went back to his bed more than a little shaken. "That was weird." He said to himself as he lay down and pulled the covers over himself.

After a few minutes of trying to calm himself down he was shaken again by the door to the room opening up. He only jumped slightly and looked over without sitting up. His roommate came in carrying a cardboard box he walked over to Roxas' closet and looked over at Roxas.

The blonde quickly closed his eyes pretending to be asleep and didn't look back again until he heard the door being opened. He looked back at the older boy and saw that he was removing all of Roxas' clothes from the closet and all of his shoes. After the closet was cleaned out he stepped in with the box and closed the door behind him.

Roxas was now very confused, what the heck he was doing in his closet, he almost decided to get up and go and ask but curiosity stopped him, he would wait and see what happened. But it seemed to take too long, Roxas fell asleep waiting. He was staring at the closet door then the next thing he new he was waking up to the sunlight.

His mysterious roommate wasn't in the room. Roxas jumped up and ran over to the closet and swung the door opened only to find everything back in its place. There was no sign of the cardboard box or his roommate. He sighed to himself and went over to a stack of papers to look at his schedule.

On Mondays he only had four classes Math, English, Science and Chemistry. First was Science at 9:00. He looked at the clock that read 8:05 so he had time to take a quick shower before leaving.

His Science teacher was Professor Vexen, and in that class he was with Hayner Olette and Riku. After Science was English which he had with Olette and unfortunately Kairi, which the two refused to make eye contact. After math was lunch period, and Olette offered him a seat at there table.

Roxas glared at Kairi's back as they walked out of there math class. Olette noticed this. "Don't worry, Kairi's not in our lunch period, poor girl she's the only one in our group."

Roxas nodded gratefully but could care less about Kairi eating by herself. He and Olette sat down at the large table. He noted that Olette's group was rather large. "Hey Guys." The brunette greeted. "This is my new friend Roxas; he's going to sit with us."

Roxas was greeted with hello's waves and nods as he sat down. "Roxas you've already met, Riku Hayner, Pence and Naminé. This is Selphie Wakka and Tidus and over there on the end is Yuffie, she's a senior, Tidus is a freshman the rest of us are sophomores.

"Are you a freshman Roxas?" Naminé asked.

"No I'm a sophomore also." Roxas answered taking a bite of his pizza.

"You seem kinda young to be a sophomore, did you skip a grade." Selphie asked.

Roxas took a moment to consider that question. "I guess in some ways yes, my parents started me in school when I was four, so I guess you could say that I skipped a year of preschool."

"So you're not like a brain right, you know all the kids that skip grades are brains?" Hayner asked.

"No not really, but I'm pretty good in math."

"I wish I was." Hayner looked over at Roxas' mysterious roommate as he passed by there table. "He's tutoring me this year."

"Zexion." Naminé gasped. "Wow sucks for you."

"Is that his name?" Roxas asked. "I've been trying to figure it out, he's my roommate."

A heavy silence suddenly fell on the table. They all seemed to look at Roxas with different expression, some were in horror, some were shocked and some were sympathetic. "What?" Roxas asked.

Pence gulped. "You mean he." Pence pointed to Zexion. "Is your roommate."

"Yeah so what?"

They all shared uncomfortable looks with each other Hayner was the first to speak. "Well, over the past three years mysterious deaths have occurred, one for each year. And weather it's by coincidence or not, every year he was Zexions roommate."

"So did they figure out who killed them?" Roxas asked.

"No, some say that that it's the room, you know 666 is an evil number. And some say that it's Zexion that kills them. The police question him every year, but he always comes up clean." Riku explained.

"So if they never found out who the killer is then why didn't they ever close the school?" Roxas asked.

"No it always comes up as natural causes." Pence added.

"That doesn't mean I'm the next victim." Roxas assumed not really believing the story. But the looks they all gave him made him believe that they didn't quite agree with him.

Hey thanks to all of you who reviewed. I'm slowly bringing out the characters, at first I had Axel as the janitor but it just didn't fit right. And of course Vexen the Science teacher. Not all of the organization members are going to be teachers I want to keep them in character and seriously can you see Larxene as a teacher come on.

Happy Halloween.
