Chapter II: The Interview

AN: Ah, yes. The overused mansex joke. But yet, I still find it to be so funny…what's wrong with me? Anyway, as promised, this one is longer.

I feel like a dog. I thought as Axel pulled me along. When we reached the World That Never Was, he finally let go of my arm.

Wow, he's got a strong grip. There was now a red mark on my skin from where he had been holding on so tightly. I thought about running, but I didn't see the point. The portal had already disappeared and I didn't know where I could go.

"Well, here it is." Axel said. We crossed a massive bridge that led to an even more massive castle.

At this point Axel took my wrist and held on with his death-grip again, as if I was going to escape when he wasn't looking. Damn that hurts! We walked up flights and flights of stairs, and my wrist ached more and more as we kept going higher and higher.

The ascend finally came to an end when we reached a hallway. I looked around and noticed that we hadn't seen anyone the whole time we had been walking.

"Hey Axel?"

"Huh?"

"If this is an organization, where's everyone else?"

"Probably sleeping." I hadn't noticed how dark it was outside.

"You should be too," I grumbled. "Then I wouldn't be here." He either didn't hear what I said or chose not to reply. We went around a corner and came to a huge white door. Axel was about to turn the knob when I said, "Uh, don't you think you should knock?" He paused for a moment.

"No," he said carelessly opening the door.

"You'd better not do anything stupid that will get me fired," Axel said under his breath.

"And what makes you think I'd do something like that?" I said, grinning deviously.

Oh, how sweet it would feel to get back at him for forcing me to come here. But, I probably shouldn't.

As we walked in through the doorway, A guy with long silver hair looked up from a desk. I wasn't quite sure what he was doing, but I really wasn't all that interested.

I like his hair, but I bet if you saw him from the back, he'd look like a girl!

"Oh it's you," he said when he saw Axel. He took sudden interest when he saw me though.

"And who's this?" he inquired.

"This is my girl-I mean, ex-girlfriend Sarah." Axel said, quickly correcting his mistake. "Sarah, this is Xemnas, the organization's superior."

"AKA, Mansex," he whispered. I giggled and Xemnas gave me a strange look. I immediately stopped and made the straightest face I could, holding in my laughter.

"So you're the one he's talked so much about." I blushed for the second time in an hour. Xemnas chuckled. "Well it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Sarah," he said, extending his hand. I shook it, my face still flushed.

Has he really been talking about me? To…everyone?

"So, Axel. What's the story? Why is she here?"

"Well," Axel started. "I think she could replace Lexeus."

"And what makes you think this?"

"I think she has a lot of potential," he said, smiling at me. I smiled back.

Wait! No! Don't smile at him! He's your ex!

Xemnas turned back to me.

"Can you fight?"

"Uh, yeah, sure you could say that."

"Fast runner?"

"Yeah. Or at least I'm pretty sure."

"Learned any magic?"

"No."

"Alright good enough you're hired." he handed me a black coat, a pair of gloves and two daggers.

"I'll find someone to start training you. You'll learn magic soon enough, and when I think you're ready, I'll send you out to start actually fighting."

"Th-thank you sir," I managed to say.

"You know, you're quite a peculiar girl," he said studying me. I wasn't quite sure what to say to that.

"Axel, show her to her room. And don't try anything."

"As if," he said starting to lead me out of the room. "You're forgetting, she's my ex." I glared at him.

We went a few doors down when he let go of me for the second time and handed me a key. I unlocked the door to find a room bigger than I had ever had before. It was so bright inside you could barely tell it was night time. Almost everything was white; the walls, the floor, the furniture, the bathroom, all except the bedspread on the king size bed and the curtains which were both black.

"You're not really missing out on anything special. Everyone else's room is exactly the same. But maybe not quite as clean," Axel said, leaning against the doorway.

"Oh ok."

"Breakfast is at eight every morning, so you should be dressed and ready before then. Lunch is at noon and Dinner is at six. Oh and there's some spare clothes in the dresser since you didn't really bring anything. Got it memorized?"

"Committed to memory," I said, smirking. Axel grinned.

"Great. See you tomorrow," he said, closing the door behind him.

I sat down on the bed (that was actually pretty comfortable) and decided that I needed to take a shower. After I was done with the shower, I got dressed and let my hair dry for a while before getting into bed. I turned off the light and slipped under the covers. I lay in the darkness thinking, Wow, I don't think anyone has ever had a weirder day than me. I was kidnapped, I 'm still in love with my ex-boyfriend, and I got a job I'm honestly not sure if I want or not. I didn't fall asleep for quite some time, but eventually, I drifted off into a restless sleep.

AN: So, since I stuck to my promise, I think you should do something for me. Something like hitting that pretty little purple review button. Some of you might not think the committed to memory thing wasn't that funny, but you would if you played chain of memories. Anyway, see you next chapter. Don't forget: R&R!
