"Alright start talking." Roxas said as he entered the meeting room facing some of the top guards, soldiers and the commanders of the army. "I was in the middle of something important and this better be just as important." Roxas added as he sat down.

One of the commanders nodded. "It is, Your Highness. We all have been on the look out for these mysterious people who had murdered your father and your brother Sora. Even though we have been top in our security we figure it was time you have a personal body guard or guards, how ever many you desire."

Roxas seemed to ponder this. "You bring this up now. Have you seen something suspicious?"

Everyone stayed silent then the commander spoke up "Well, Sir, we believe that they would come back for you. There has been an increase in crimes this past year by an unknown source. We are just taking precautions, you understand." Roxas nodded.

"Yes, I do." Roxas stayed silent, looking down at the table lost in thought for a moment till he looked up. "Yes, I guess it is."

"We're not giving you a choice in the matter, Sir. It's a unanimous vote about all of us for this decision." Roxas blinked not expecting that but kept his nonchalant face.

"Alright. Do I at least get to pick my body guard?"

The Commander smiled and nodded "Of course, Your Highness." Roxas then stood up.

"Now, lets do it now. I have some matters to attend to."

"Uh, of course. What would your matters be?"

"Nothing that concerns you." Roxas snapped making everyone silent. "Let's just get this over with." The Commander nodded and dismissed everyone else before turning back to Roxas and leading him into a secluded room on the other side of the castle.

"All of these volunteered to work for you and some we just picked up and pulled out of the town." Roxas nodded as the Commander opened the door.

"Thank you Xigbar." Roxas smiled and walk in. The Commander, aka Xigbar was a very good friend of Roxas' and helped him during the time of his brother's disappearance. "You can just call me Roxas now." Xigbar nodded.

"I know, Lil Dude they are not much but it was the best we could find." Roxas skimmed over the people in the room with interest. " I would be your body guard but I have my own duties."

"I understand." Roxas looked over the people, most looked confused like they had not a clue why they were there. Others looked either, bored, impatient or very confident." One walked right up to Roxas.

"Yo." He grinned "My name is Reno."

Roxas raised an eyebrow at the guy named Reno. He was really tall, had surprisingly bright red hair and looked very cocky. "Hi." Was all Roxas said, giving no hint he was interested for the Reno guy didn't look very strong just overly confident.

"You are probably thinking I'm overly confident and how could I be of any use to you? Well I guess you'd just have to give me a chance." He winked; walked away then sat down.

Roxas rolled his eyes and looked back around the room stopping at one specific person. He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and arms crossed. He had a yellow shirt that stopped just above his navel and a vest over it with a mixture of yellow, black and blue that stopped at the same place. We wore denim blue jeans with a loosely hung black belt; his silver hair down stopped at shoulder length and his bangs nearly covering his eyes.

Roxas studied him for moment feeling like he had seemed the guy before. He looked around the same age or maybe a bit older. He looked strong and confident but something about him seemed so familiar.

Roxas walked towards Xigbar. "I like two of these people here."

Xigbar blinked "You didn't talk to anyone other than that Reno guy."

"I know, I don't need to. I want Reno and him." Roxas pointed to the silver haired boy.

"Reno and Riku? You like the R's Roxas?" Xigbar chuckled. "Or is it cause they are both cute?" Roxas scowled.

"Course not. I've giving the Reno guy a shot and…Riku was it? Looks pretty strong."

Xigbar clapped his hands once and everyone looked up "Looks like out prince here has chosen. Reno and Riku." Reno pumped his fist in the air,

"That's awesome, yo!" Xigbar rolled his eyes and looked at Riku who hadn't moved.

"Come on, Riku." Riku opened his eyes and pushed off the wall and walked directly in front of Roxas and stared. Roxas stared back unsure what to do or day, Riku's green eyes felt menacing but instantly went away and he smiled stunningly and bowed.

"Hello, Your Highness, it is a pleasure to meet you." Roxas blinked then smiled.

"Reno, Riku, you better protect him at all costs, any of you not around Roxas while on duty and you'll be terminated, got it?"

Roxas just sweat dropped, Riku nodded and Reno laughed.

"Chill, yo! We won't let His Highness out of our sight. Will we, Riku?" Reno looked at Riku and the silver haired boy just nodded.

"Of course, Commander. Roxas will be safe in our hands, well mine at least." Riku smirked and Reno frowned.
"Hey! I'm just as capable as you are!"

"Sure." Riku and Reno started to argue and Roxas grinned.

"Do they do this a lot?"

Xigbar shrugged "Dunno, I don't think they've met until now. I know Riku likes to tease and Reno likes to joke. Riku is serious most of the time so when he teases, play a long, he just trying to lighten the mood." Roxas nodded. "Alright you two stop bickering! Roxas here need is going somewhere and needs his body guards to calm down and protect him." Xigbar grinned then whispered "If you have any trouble with them tell me and I'll know 'em into line."

Roxas laughed "Alright Xigbar." Then walked out the door. The two stopped fighting, saw Roxas was gone then scrambled out to follow him. They finally caught up to Roxas and walked silently behind him.

Roxas sighed. That Riku guy seems to familiar, his name sounds so familiar but Roxas just couldn't place it, he didn't feel right. Maybe he was just being too paranoid about it all, he needed to trust him since Riku was going to protect him. Roxas saw out of the corner of his eye they were practically walking in a line, himself, Reno then Riku.

Roxas abruptly came to a stop Reno nearly knocking him over and Riku almost knocking Reno over. Roxas just smirked and turned around.

"Just keeping you on your toes." Riku smirked and Reno let out a exasperated sigh.

"Geeze, yo! Nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"Maybe I shouldn't have picked you then." Roxas said nonchalantly.

"Uh-"

"I'm kidding, dude." Reno smirked

"Knew that."

"Sure. Now listen, you can call me Roxas if you want, but only if we are alone since the others have to call me by my royal title. You really don't have to stand in a line and nervous, up tight, whatever the heck you are doing. You can relax I'm not gonna snap or kill you."

Reno just stared and Riku laughed. "Yes, Roxas."

Roxas smiled "Good. Get this also, I don't give a crap where you came from, if you were pulled out from your house randomly, I do not want to hear it. I feel bad for you if you did but really there's not a thing I can do about it."

Riku narrowed his eyes "Pretty heartless isn't it?"

Roxas shrugged "I hear complaints enough from people I don't wanna hear it constantly from my body guards. If you want to complain get it out now or forever hold your troubles, get fired or as Xigbar called it 'terminated'. Which I would make sure that didn't happen, though I still don't want to hear it. Get it out now." Roxas crosses his arms and waited.

No one said anything and Roxas nodded "Another thing, just because you are my body guards that doesn't mean I fully trust you."

"Of course we don't expect ya to, not yet anyway, right yo?" Reno turned to Riku.

Riku just stared like he had when he first approached then nodded "It's always good to be cautious-" Riku smiled and bowed "Though you can trust us Your High- Roxas." Riku stood up but kept the smile. Though the smile Roxas just couldn't help but feel uneasy around Riku.

Roxas nodded then walked a few steps before stopping at a door. "Here, I want to be alone. Namine isn't going to hurt me, she couldn't hurt me even if we wanted to." They both just stood as Roxas opened the door and closed it immediately.

Reno smirked and turned Riku. "Ooh girlfriend?"

"Defiantly." Riku came over and opened the door slightly to peak inside but closed it immediately then coughed. "Let's not interrupt. " Reno's eyes widened.

"Oh let me see! Oh let me see! " Riku flicked in between Reno's eyes making him stop his pleas.

"If you want to be useful go find someone who can bring me a bottle of water or something." Reno shrugged and began walking down the hall in hopes to find someone.

Riku watched Reno disappear around the corner, sighed and leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. This was going to be too easy, Riku was hoping for something more complicated a challenge; he sighed again.

Well he'd have some fun first before actually getting to business. Riku looked over towards the room where Roxas and apparently his girlfriend were in, shook his head and hoped Reno would come back with a water bottle.
