Binks: Rewrite—chaaapppter 2! Woot woot, we're moving right along aren't we?

P.S. To those who asked. I wrote the song Demyx sang last chapter. Actually I wrote it in five minutes, on the back of a baseball roster while I was keeping score for a baseball game. I'm so talented. : D (Ha ha)

Nobody Knows

Chapter 2 – Snipe Save!

It had been about a week since Roxas had officially joined Organization 13. He was slowly settling down, but fitting in was a different story. He didn't get along with a majority of the members, and then the ones he did get along with seemed to constantly be busy.

Axel was always off fighting this, doing that, making sure this plan worked, and that one didn't. He was always busy and sent off all the time. Though, the redhead had told Roxas that Xemnas sent him off all the time because he didn't like him, and the blonde found that easy to believe.

Then Demyx was always off being, well, Demyx. He would be playing jokes on Xaldin or Lexaues, both who hated him with a passion. When he wasn't doing that, he was traveling around in his home world--against orders--just to mingle. After that he'd play some hand held game he had snuck fromthat world he had messed around in. Then when he wasn't stirring up trouble, he'd be playing music, writing music, or listening to music, usually in private.

Luxord was always wrapped up in some gambling game, and when Roxas was able to talk to him, Luxord would only want to ask the blonde to help him test a new gamblingformula he'd think up.

The young blonde lost to it everytime.

"Well, you know what they say, lad. . .Unlucky in Gambling . . . lucky in love." Luxord would laugh as he took the munny Roxas would bet. The blonde would groan and slink off in his defeated manner.

Then there was Xigbar—the obnoxious sniper and second-in-command. He had taken a quick liking to Roxas though, and often shut up the other members from picking on him. So, he wasn't too bad. Yet, he seemed to be always busy doing his own thing, and the young boy was a little scared to find out what this own thing was.

Thus everyone Roxas remotely liked was busy and the ones he couldn't stand were hardly ever busy it seemed—yet this was how the blonde boy's luck always was.

So the boy walked around the seemingly endless quarters in the Castle looking around, examining things, and making conclusions. Just trying to keep away from the others and to find something to do.

Then he heard a familiar voice cry, "Bah! Get back here, little dude!"

Scrabbling was heard at the end of the hallway, and Roxas hastened his steps to check on the disturbance. As he rounded the corner, the long haired sniper looked up toward him.

"Catch it!" he shouted.

Surprised, the blonde boy automatically reached for the first thing he saw and picked it up.

"Nice one, bud!" the sniper chuckled as he walked forward.

The object was. . . furry. The young boy looked down to stare face to face with a beautiful black kitten. Its huge yellow eyes stared back up at him, shocked and horrorfied. Then Roxas gasped in realization.

"Where you trying to shoot it?" the blonde boy yelled, stepping back from the advancing man.

Xigbar stopped in his tracks and studied the wide eyed boy. After a while, he scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"As. . . As if!" he retorted, "I was just trying to catch the mangy thing . . . don't know how it got in here. . ."

The eye patched man trailed off as he watched the young boy lovingly pet the kitten. Roxas was smiling kindly. The small cat had already gotten use to the boy, and was surprisingly nice.

"You can keep 'em if you hide 'em in your room. Don't less Xemnas see 'em though, or the dude'll majorly freak out."

"Seriously?" Roxas beamed.

The young boy loved animals, and found them to be more comforting to be around than humans. The little kitten could finally keep him company too.

"Err . . . go ahead. Before I change my mind," Xigbar muttered with a flip of his wrist.

The blonde turned on his heel and sprinted down the hallway. He didn't need to be told twice.

"You're welcome," the older man sighed.

He watched Roxas run off, then scratched the back of his head again.

"Guess I'll need to find something else to hunt t'day, eh?"

As Roxas entered the Proof of Existance, he made a quick break for his room while hiding the kitten in his jacket. Just as he made it to his door, he was stopped.

"Roxas! Looking lively!" the brunette musician greeted.

Great, the one day he's actually around.

"Something wrong Roxas?" Demyx asked, putting his hands on his hips.

"Nope, nothing at all," the younger boy replied.

"But you were running so fast . . ." Demyx prodded.

Finally Roxas lost it and stepped around Demyx, only being able to think of one reason.

"Bathroom!"

Demyx stood there, a little surprised by the boy's quick escape. Finally he shrugged, before he sneezed violently.

"Oh dear . . ." he muttered himself, putting his hand behind his head as he walked off.

"Phew . . ." Roxas sighed as he took the kitten out of his jacket, "Sorry 'bout that little guy . . ."

He placed the cat on the floor and ruffled its fur a bit.

"So . . . we'll need to find a name for you. . ." the blonde unzipped his long trench coat and threw it on the ground, "Ugh, it's too stuffy to wear that over a layer of clothes all the time."

"Anyway . . . Hmm, a name. . . . A name."

The young boy walked closer to the window in his room, which was considerably smaller than the one Demyx had. As he turned back around to pace back, he noticed the cat was no where in sight, but the nearby trench coat had a small lump in it.

Roxas walked over and picked up the trench coat to find the wandering kitten.

"You sure do like to hide, don't you? . . . Hmm, I think I know a good name for you . . . Snipe? Yeah, that sounds good. From this moment one, you're Snipe!"

The kitten looked up at Roxas, not knowing what he was talking about. The blonde just smiled.

"Don't worry Snipe. Everything'll be just fine for you and me now."
