Disclaimer:…If only I owned Kingdom Hearts and Disney but I don't so FAIL! But anyway, hopefully this chapter goes well "y'know" (yes HE will be tossed in there). Anyway unlike the original plot, Roxy won't meet that stupid seagull until later on when he's making a BIG decision *hint hint* Well enjoy my lovelies. (P.S. Sorry I changed the title I felt that Romance of the Seas is much more suitable)
Lord Vexen's Chamber
Roxas had just reached the city of Atlantica when he was immediately called to his father's chamber, and having no idea why he was being called scared him as well.
The fear of being called to his father's chamber with the instruction to not ask questions didn't exactly strike him until he realized what he had done wrong, he had missed the concert. The damn concert that his father and the "royal court advisor" Luxord had planned for months, the exact one where Roxas and Namine were supposed to sing side by side for the first time.
In short all Roxas could think was FML as he entered his father's chamber aka "the chamber of the death" (a nickname made by both Namine and Roxas).
The chambers were very elaborate appearing to be made out of marble, there were rather large pole like structures very similar to the Parthenon that kept the place together. A large chair rested in the dead middle of Vexen's chamber, the large chair that symbolized him as being King of Atlantica.
As he entered Roxas spoke in a frail and almost scared tone in hopes that his father would go easy on him.
"…you wanted to see me father?"
Vexen was silent in the beginning; Luxord on the other hand was clearly out raged and made it his goal to speak out as such.
"HOW DARE YOU? YOU HAVE HUMILATED NOT ONLY ME BUT YOUR FATHER AND YOUR SISTER AT THAT! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO PLAN THAT CONCERT HMM? WEEKS AND MONTHS OF HARD WORK GONE TO WASTE, I AM SO HUMILATED!"
It was obvious to Roxas that he was much more worried about his reputation more than anything else, something that Roxas didn't care too much about.
The boy stood there as the King Crab continued to scold him (his British accent pushing it's way out more and more) about missing the concert he said nothing he only stood.
This continued for a good two minutes before Demyx decided to step in and speak himself on their behalf.
"It's not his fault! See…See there was a ship and uh uh a silver thingie! Then an uhh SHARK! Then it was like WOAH! AND Roxas almost got eaten! But, But, But, -"
The boy was cut off by Vexen's eyes widening and Roxas grabbing the fish to keep his mouth shut.
"SHHHHH! He doesn't know what he's talking about... poor thing is delusional"
Roxas made his attempt to cover up everything that Demyx had said but he was too late.
"YOU WERE ALMOST EATEN BY SHARKS? FOR ONE OF THOSE DAMN HUMAN TRINKETS WASN'T IT?"
"Daddy you don't understand!"
"No I do understand! How many times must I tell you to stay away from those disgusting humans and everything that involves you with them! Whether the ship was abandoned or not doesn't matter! I told you it was forbidden!"
"Dad I'm sorry but they can't be as bad as you say they are!"
Vexen cut him off by holding his hand outward in a "talk to the hand" motion.
"You will not leave Atlantica without my permission or without supervision do you understand?"
The boy only glared at his father before swimming off with his friend not to far behind him, he moved at a quick pace to keep from hearing his father's voice.
Vexen turned towards his blue colored friend and let out a loud sigh, in truth he was a bit of a softie when it came to his children and he hated the fact that he was "forced" to raise his voice and threaten them.
"Do you think I was too hard of him? You know the boy is fragile since the death of his mother.."
The crab only glared slightly before taking a good deep breath and swimming up closer to be at eye level with the large male.
"The boy deserved it, like I said you give them an inch they swim all over you. He needs is someone to watch him always."
Vexen's eyes widened and he nodded.
"Uh huh"
"Someone to keep him in check"
"Uh huh"
"To make sure the boy doesn't get into any trouble"
"Like you!"
"Yes like m-"
The crab actually choked on his own words once he caught on to what was being said, he had unknowingly volunteered himself to watch Roxas.
"But sire! I cannot I have to stay here and help you run the kingdom yes?"
Vexen shook his head.
"Oh no I need you to be watching my son more than anything else at the moment go on and make me proud"
The man flicked his wrist and just like that the crab began to swim in the same direction as the younger male had swum.
It was times like this where he hated his job…maybe one day he would retire and live under a rock or something.
The Secret Room
Followed Roxas to a, what appeared to be, a bunch of rocks pilled on top of one another but he was wrong.
Turning his head back and forth the blue finned male moved one of the rocks to the side and allowed his fish friend to swim in first he swam in not to long afterward, as he shut the door from the inside the crab quickly ducked inside unnoticed by both of the boys only to be astonished by what he was seeing.
What look like nothing more than a pile of rocks was actually an elaborate room with shelves upon shelves, something that Roxas must have made he was always good at architectural designs and he must have used the rocks to conceal the actually "room."
The crab was shocked his mouth gaping wide open he didn't know what to say, all he did was listen to the conversation that began between Roxas and Demyx.
"Maybe he's right Dem….maybe humans are as bad as he says they are, I mean they are the reason my mother is dead."
The fish said nothing for a moment he was astonished by what he was hearing for Roxas of all people to say such things was ridiculous.
He was never the person to blindly agree to his father, he always manage to see the best in people despite what had happened. Even though humans had killed his mother and he witnessed it, Demyx had always noted that Roxas never showed any signs of hatred towards humans.
"But Roxas…..I thought you always liked them?"
He chuckled
"You right…I just don't see why my father thinks so badly of a place so wonderful. You know Demyx I wish I could be where the people are…see them dancing….walking around on those what do you uhm oh feet…up where they walk up where they run where they stay all day in the sun…out of the sea wish I could be…Part of that world….."
CRASH!
A sudden crash irrupted in the room causing both Roxas and Demyx to turn towards the crash only to find Luxord standing there not only terrified but astonished as well.
"What are you doing here? GET OUT!"
Roxas swam towards the crab his eyes beaming with rage, another thing that scared Luxord when Roxas was angry the boy was not someone to be dealt with but he managed to speak in a calm tone.
"As much as I would like to I cannot…your father has ordered me to watch over you due to your past inconveniences you are not allowed to leave without my supervision"
Roxas' eyes widened even more but instead he managed to turn his head and let out a low growl in response walking back over to Demyx.
"I swear if you tell ANYONE about this room…I WILL kill you!"
The crab only nodded his head before following the two younger males out of the Secret Room.

Chamber of the Sea Witch
Somewhere in the distance a rather large sea witch was looking through her crystal ball, watching the young Roxas through the eyes of her two jellyfish "babies," Xemnas and Siax.
The two jellyfish were poking their heads through a small hole located in the room in which Roxas, Demyx, and Luxord.
The electricfying monsters were both a light blue in color with one black eye the other being yellow. Xemnas' right eye was yellow while Siax's left eye was yellow.
The witch reached her hand into a small jar pulling out a large piece of what appeared to be crab, a dead one anyway, that she quickly devoured out of hunger.
"Look at what I've been reduced too! Eating scraps that I can manage to find…UCK back when I worked in the palace I was worshiped I feasted on what I please. But look at me now, being forced to live in a cave humph, but not for long."
"My pretties keep an eye on this one I do believe he might be of use later on…"
The witch chuckled, her octopus tentacles slowly swarming around her like a fire caressing her body.
"He might be the key to Vexen's demise"
The jellyfish began to snicker in response as did the Sea Witch…she had finally had her key to revenge.
OOOOO WE HAVE OFFICIALLY INTRODUCED THE SEA WITCH! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHA
ANYWAY! I would love some reviews please!
Hoping to post the next chapter soon!
