Chapter 2 is up already! Wow, I'm fast now. What can I say? I had inspiration and free time. Like always I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters, but I do want you to review since I work hard on this. It may not seem like it but I do. Nobody got the challenge at the end of the last chapter. That ones null and void now. There is a new challenge at the end of this one.

Chapter 2

"Roxaselle! Roxaselle! Where oh where are you?" I had to stay hidden. I couldn't let Him find me. He'd turn me into Kami-san for sure. I heard footsteps and I had to hold back my scream. He was so close. Don't look to your left. Don't look!

He turned his head and I stared straight into his emerald green eyes. He blinked and I gulped. One sigh escaped him. I stood completely still, tense. He didn't speak, he didn't move. He stared straight at me and I stared straight back at him. What was this feeling in my chest?

"You should go Roxas. Before he decides to come look for you himself. Run Roxas, I won't chase you. Promise" He didn't have to tell me twice. I quickly took off running, but I stopped and glanced behind me at him. I felt a familiar tug at my chest and I gripped at my skin with a frown. I saw him frown as well, then he looked over his shoulder frantically. It took me another second to hear the horses coming. I pulled off my shirt and took to the sky after spreading out my wings. I couldn't allow myself to be caught.

Wiping at my brow, I sit up and throw back the covers. Stretching my arms and wings, I frown. Just another dream. But so lifelike. I stare down at my left palm at my scar. The crescent moon stared back at me and I sigh. The pain in my chest still remains from the dream, but I ignore it as I get up to get dressed.

Riku walks into the room and I jump. I had forgotten he was still here. When was he leaving? I voiced my question and he shrugged. I rolled my eyes and continued to dress, making sure my wings weren't visible under the fabric of my shirt, I threw on a hoodie to make sure. I heard Riku exist and fiddle around in the kitchen. Good, if he was going to stay for a while he may as well make himself useful.

I examined myself in the wall length mirror in my bedroom. I frowned as I fingered my long golden hair. I'd have to cut and dye it. It was too long and too golden. It would stick out to much. I took the rubber band I always kept around my right hand and started braiding my hair. That would have to do for now.

"When are you going to bring whatever demon you'll be working with?" I looked up when Riku walked in with a tray of food. Well he wasn't in a bad mood anymore at least.

"He actually lives nearby, well a days travel from here by my average wing speed. I think it may be a few hours by car though."

"Ah! That's right. The manila folder on the dining room table has all the documentation you'll need. Birth certificate, id, drivers license, and medical paperwork. The contact if you need anything else has been added to the cellphone on top of the folder. There's a car in the parking lot. The keys should be in there as well."

"Thanks Riku. Can you leave now?"

I smiled as I looked up at the large mansion. I smiled walking to the door and ringing the doorbell. It was soon opened by the butler, who bowed quickly and escorted me towards the parlor. I smiled and soon relaxed leaning back on the old Victorian couch. Closing my eyes I waited. I soon heard a pair of footsteps and smiled. I opened my eyes and smiled when I looked up at him, meeting his emerald green eyes. I stood up and smiled bowing to him.

"It's good to see you again Kami-chan."

"What are you doing here Kami-tan?"

"I told you a long time ago that I don't want to be called that. My brother is Kami-kun, and I denounced my title I long time ago. Anyway Axel, tell me dear, have you become bored with this human world yet?"

"Of course I have not Roxas. Why do you ask?"

"I have a mission. Did you hear about the birth nearby?"

"I have actually. It was a friend of mine here, well her family anyway.

"Her? Have you taken a new lover already Axel?"He laughed and I smiled a bit, feeling that familiar tug once more. He shook his head and my smile grew for some reason, though I was not able to name the reason why. "Have you seen the new child yet?"

"No I haven't. I was planning on visiting this weekend though."

"I have a request to make. Will you return to the city with me? Kami-sama gave me the job of watching the kid. He believes it to be the reincarnation of another god. He told me to work with one of you demons since the reincarnation is destined to be the next Demon Lord."

"A child? A little child is destined to take my rightful position? Don't make me laugh"

"I wasn't trying to Kami-chan. I am sure you will one day make a great Kami-san."

"Stop the flattery Roxaselle my dear. It will get you no where but my bedroom, and you would have ended up there anywhere." I felt a blush color my cheeks and I heard him laugh. "I will follow you to the city, but first you must stay the night here with me. You'll have to share the bed with me, as my guest rooms are all in a state of disrepair" Or so he said. I knew his mansion was always in perfect order though. I didn't say anything though and just continued to blush.

My eyes closed silently and I let myself enjoy the feeling of his long and thin fingers running through my hair. They slowly massaged my scalp and my cheeks erupted into a blush as he leaned down to kiss me. I let myself surrender to him, my lips beginning to move against his. The blush on my cheeks continued to grow as I felt Axel's fingers move from my head and go towards my clothing. One by one I can hear the buttons of my shirt coming undone. He slid the garment off my arms and threw it to the floor to join the hoodie that was discarded shortly after entering the room.

He moves a bit and I feel lucidity returning to me. My eyes opened and met his emerald ones. The blush grew again and I had to look away. He leaned down and kissed my neck. My body involuntarily reacted, a shiver running up my spine. He bit at my neck and I winced. My arms rose up and pushed against his shoulders.

"Please..stop" I whimpered. He didn't hear me, or he didn't listen. I sighed and moved my hand to his chest, pushing harder. When he didn't budge I closed my eyes, focusing my energy into my left palm. Opening my eyes I saw the crescent moon scar glow just as Axel hissed and moved away from him. I breathed deeply and scooted up the bed, sitting up against the headboard. Axel slowly looked up at me apologetically and I just smiled before speaking. "How many times do we have to go over this Axel? A kiss in and of itself is too much. I'll give you that much, but don't expect anything more"

"Ah, my pure white angel is stubborn. You can't blame a guy for trying." I laughed at the playful look on his face, spreading my wings with a smile. Axel's smile grew and he moved closer to me. His head moved to lean against my folded legs and I smiled looking down at the young demon, my hands running through his spiky red hair. His own hand moved to run over the nearest feather on my silky white wings. He closed his eyes and I chuckled watching him. The tug at my chest resounded again when I stared at his peaceful face mere inches from sleep.

"Sweet dreams my demon love."

"Same to you my pure white angel"

I forced my eyes closed. Anything to escape this. To avoid looking into the face I had grown so accustomed to. The face I had basically raised. I couldn't look up into his face. My wings ached, the sign of horror to come. I forced my eyes to remain closed even as I heard the creak of the throne I was kneeling in front of.

"Look at me Roxaselle. I do not want to have to punish you for anything more" I bit my lip but looked up anyway, slowly opening my eyes. I stared into deep blue eyes framed by golden hair. I wanted to scream, but knew not too. Axel trained him too well in how he should rule as Kami-san. He would feed off of my scream, it would fuel him. I looked down again.

"Kami-sama, how shall we punish this one?"

"Send him to the torture chambers until I can decide. He is not allowed to have any visitors besides myself."

"Not even Kami-kun, Kami-sama?"

"That reminds me, Kami-kun must be punished for this as well." No! I wanted to scream for him not to touch Axel. He couldn't! Not after the risk he had taken for me, I couldn't just sit there and allow them to discuss his punishment. In the end I was dragged off before I had the nerve to say anything.

I screamed as I awoke. I heard stirring beside me and opened my eyes. I stared into Axel's face and smiled happily. He was here. He was safe. He was still asleep. Thank Kami. I flexed my wings and made them cover us both. I placed a gentle hand on his face and leaned over to kiss him softly, waking him up in the process. I had to admit he was adorable waking up, the way he brought his hands to his face and rubbed at his eyes like a little child. I knew at that moment that it was absurd, but I knew that he was the most important thing in my life right now. I wouldn't call it love, because didn't love require a level of intimacy I wouldn't allow him to have with me?

Axel stared at me through the mirror and I gulped. I knew this was a bad idea. I heard my cell ring and reached to go into my pocket to get it. A hand went to my arm and stopped me, shivers running up my spine. He traced his hand down my arm and took my left hand in his, running his thumb over my scar.

"Relax love. It'll be over in a minute."

"I don't want you to do it anymore Axel. Please don't"

"It'll be fine Roxas. I promise it'll be painless"

"I don't trust you, your a liar" I heard his laugh and I sighed staring at him through the mirror with a smile. I tensed when his hand left mine and he pulled the braid that my hair was in over my shoulder. His slender fingers started undoing it. I had to close my eyes and start counting in my head to distract myself. I heard the sound of scissors and gulped again.

"Roxas. Open your eyes"

"No!" He didn't say anything more but he did set to work. I slowly felt my head get lighter and lighter. When I finally opened my eyes he had finished cutting my hair and was now focused on styling it. I watched my now shoulder length hair transform into spikes and I laughed realizing how Axel was making me look like my brother. "I don't want to be a clone!" I protested and he simply laughed. He continued styling my hair and I soon smiled at my new appearance. It would still have to be dyed, and it would be a pain to style everyday. I liked it though.

"What do you think my angel?"

"I love it, I'm gonna miss my long hair though. Did you get the dye yet?"

"It's on the counter. I hope you like the color I chose. It's fairly normal, and it looks like the color of my butlers hair. I figured it would help explaining how we know each other if you pose as family of my staff"

"It's for the best. Lets get my hair done. How long does it does?"

"I got the salon brand, it'll take a while if you want it to come out right."

"Alright. Lets get started."

I frowned itching my scalp. I had to admit this felt odd. I was used to a heavy head, with long hair that flowed behind me, that I couldn't always feel the presence of. This was different. This was lighter, and at the same time heavy. I itched at it again.

"Stop Roxas. Your appearing nervous. That's not how Kami-tan should be acting."

"I'm not a Kami anymore, please stop saying that."

"Does it upset you Roxas?" I would never admit that it did.

"No. My brother will make a better Kami-sama one day I would"

"I look forward to Kami-chan becoming Kami-san. Anyway, don't be nervous. It's a completely normal family, and you'll be received wonderfully."

"A completely normal family that just happened to give birth to the reincarnation of the first Demon Lord." I said through a laugh. I heard Axel's laughter join mine, but he soon put a hand over my mouth to get me to stop. I sighed and smirked, licking his hand.

"I wouldn't do that again unless you're ready for the consequences." I almost shuddered at the tone of his voice. I looked towards the door and sighed. Were they even home? The door slowly opened and I smiled a bit.

The woman on the other side smiled pleasantly at Axel, they began to talk but I tuned them out. My mind was now set on the mission. Someone on the other side of this door was a baby and it was my job to basically raise it to rule the demon world. We were led inside and straight over to a baby bassinet. I stared down in it, meeting deep blue eyes and blonde hair. I could have sworn my heart stopped. The boy stared up at us, oddly aware eyes. Was it normal for babies to be so aware? Axel had said the baby was only a week old. I smiled softly after a minute. I could remember when Sora was this small. Father hadn't let me old him, he said I was still too small to properly hold a baby. I had fallen in love with my younger brother though the first day I had seen him, and when Sora was only 5 he had big dreams of what he wanted to do in the future. I could remember young Sora begging me not to give up my title, but I did anyway.

I felt Axel put a gentle hand on my back, over my wings, and I realized I had begun crying, which always made my wings quiver. I moved to wipe my tears away, looking up I realized the woman was staring at me oddly. I vaguely heard Axel explain to her that I was easily moved, and seeing such a cute baby must have triggered the tears. This seemed to please the woman who moved to lift the baby from the bassinet. She handed it over to Axel, I watched as the demon carefully took the little boy in his arms. I noticed then that Axel had cut his nails last night after I fell asleep. It as a good thing, the demon's nails grew so fast they would be able to easily cut the baby's skin if Axel didn't cut them again in the next few days.

I started as Axel went to hand the boy to me. I stared at the small bundle staring back up at me. I knew a smile probably covered my face. So small, so cute, so pure. No, the child wasn't pure. It was a reincarnation, the next Demon Lord. I looked to Axel and he simply smiled at me before turning to the woman.

"I'll be in town for a while, helping little Roxas here settle into his apartment. If you want to head into town for a while and have fun we can watch little Cloud here."

"Thank god! I've been trying to find a sitter since he was born. Anything to get out of this apartment! Can you guys watch Cloudie tonight?" I had to stop myself from laughing. Cloudie? Easily the worst nickname ever to get stuck with. Axel didn't hold in his laughter, I smiled listening to it fill the room. I looked down at the boy still in my arms, seeing he was staring at Axel with an odd look of disgust on his face. Axel looked down at the kid and laughed some more.

Okay, explanation time. In my world the rulers of both the angel and demon people are both referred to as Kami (with all members of the family bearing the Kami title unless they chose to denounce it like Roxas did). They use the same titles, with titles reserved for the Kami's of the other race. You have to know who is talking to know which Kami they are referring to. Here is a list of titles and the meanings if you are still confused.

*Kami-sama is the ruler of your race

*Kami-san is the ruler of the other race

*Kami-kun is the heir of your race

*Kami-chan is the heir of the other race

*Kami-tan is anyone who is a Kami but is not the ruler or heir, this is actually considered a bad title and most who are born with it choose to denounce it

As you can tell, the future Demon Lord has been revealed. Also, more information about the angel culture and rules and laws in the next chapter.

Your challenge for this chapter is to guess how long of a time jump there will be between this chapter and the next. Prize is still the same, you get to help decide Axel's full name. Don't forget...reviews make me feel special.

For all my Arigato readers I do have good news. I am working on an update, so be on the lookout for that in the next few weeks.
