I must say, I'm really dissapointed. I only have 25 hits and 1 review. How sad is that? But anyway

MFJ: You are my heeero and my first reviewer! -gives the Demyx keychain to ya- I'm glad you're giving this a chance. :)

Discalimer Sora: Scaff doesn't own Tales of Symophonia or Kingdom Hearts. If she did, Axel would be a playable character.

Roxas' eyes met the eyes of the angry group. He took a deep breath and took a step backwards, right into the stranger in pink. Crap! He turned his head around and looked up at the stranger. His blue eyes met his, and the stranger gave a smile. Then he put his attention to the group of people.

"Yo, what's up?" he asked casually.

"Z-Zelos! This little runt stole some very expensive clothing from our store!" a woman cried, "he's a thief!"

"Yeah, a thief!"

"He's probably from the slums!"

"Now, now everyone. Settle down here. Now what's this about this little blondie being a thief?" the pink stranger asked.

"Hey! Don't call me blond-"

"Hush," he instructed. Roxas reluctantly shut up.

"Like I said, that little ass stole clothing from our store!"

"Did you give him a chance to explain himself? Or did you just start chasing him?"

"Uhm, maybe?"

"I think maybe you didn't. This guy is a new servant of mine. He's from the country, so doesn't know the customs of the big city very well. I guess you guys just scared him, that's why he started running."

"H-he's your servant, Chosen?" the employees asked horrified.

"Yes. And I must say that I'm a little disappointed in your actions towards him. Now, how much do I owe you?" the stranger asked.

"Uh, 7450 gald," one of the employees said. Zelos sighed and gave it to the employee. He accepted it sheepishly.

"Now, may I ask of you another favour?"

"What is it, Zelos?"

"Leave us alone," he commanded. The crowd nodded and scattered at once. Roxas stood in awe.

"How can you control of them like that? They all…"

"Respect me?"

"…fear you. I'm impressed."

"Uh, yeah. Anyway, kid, guess what?" he asked with a smile.

"What?"

"You owe me. Big time."

"What?!"

"You heard me. 7400 is a lot of gald. And I'm guessing you don't actually have that much gald, now do you?" Roxas pouted.

"You want me to work for you? Doing what?"

"Well, come to my house and I'll show you," he said with a wink. Then he reached out his arm. "My name is Zelos Wilder, and I'm the Chosen of mana. And you are?" Roxas cautiously shook his hand.

"I'm Roxas, number- er, I mean, and I'm not from around here. What exactly are you the chosen of?" Zelos started walking towards his home and Roxas followed.

"The Chosen of mana. You know, born with a cruxis crystal, the chosen of the cruxis, you know, the angels."

"Angels?" Roxas tilted his head. This world sure was a strange one.

"Wow, you really aren't from around here, are you? Well, yeah, cruxis basically the angels and such. They protect the Goddess Martel, I guess," Zelos said. He waved the topic off. Roxas noted that even though he was the chosen, he didn't seem to take it very seriously. The two of them started walking by huge and magnificent mansions. Roxas stared at them with awe. Their sheer size made Roxas seem so tiny and insignificant. He looked at Zelos. The man seemed to have serious gender issues. He had long red hair that was curly at the bottom and wore a long pink vest. A PINK vest. Not white, not black, not red, but PINK. "Uh… Zelos?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you wear pink?" Zelos looked at Roxas and stopped. He stared at Roxas straight in the eye and rose his eyebrow.

"Is there something wrong with pink?"

"No. It just doesn't seem very… manly, you could say," Roxas stated. The chosen laughed softly. Roxas narrowed his eyes at the chosen. It seemed like Zelos was mocking him.

"Roxas, let me tell you something. Real men wear pink."

"What the crap?"

"I'm serious! The ladies love it," Zelos said with a smile. Roxas raised an eyebrow. This guy? Popular with girls? How could he be when he looked like a girl? Roxas was about to ask when he suddenly heard a shriek.

"EEEEEEEEEEEK!! MASTER ZELOS!!" Roxas looked around him and saw a girl in a very elaborate dress jump and tackle Zelos. Roxas' eyes widened at the sudden outburst from the girl. Zelos however, just had an amused smile on his face.

"Hello there, lady Emilie. How are you today?" he asked. She blushed.

"I'm fantastic now that I've finally found you!! Oh, who's this?" she asked, pointing at Roxas. The nobody instinctively jumped backwards. Zelos just laughed.

"Him? That's Roxas. He's a new servant for me. He has to repay a debt he owes to me," Zelos said. Emilie slide off of Zelos' back and took a step towards Roxas. She looked at his face and smiled.

"He's a cutie!" she exclaimed.

"Mhm, I know. Now my beautiful darling, I've got to go home and show Roxas around," Zelos explained. She blushed and walked off, waving goodbye to the two of them. Roxas stood a little confused and Zelos smiled at the girl. He then turned to Roxas and grinned.

"See? I told you I'm popular with the ladies," Zelos said. Roxas sighed.

"Alight, alright, I believe you," he said in defeat. Zelos smiled and looked up at the mansion in front of them. It had a beautiful golden gate and a garden with professionally cut hedges and magnificent flowers surrounding the pathway to the front door. Even the front door was magnificent; it had complex etchings in the sides of the double doors and polished brass handles. Roxas' mouth hung open in awe as he made his way to the front step. Zelos didn't notice, and casually unlocked the door. He pushed it open and lazily entered the main room. There were a few chairs made from exotic fabrics and beautiful vases on display on tall, elegant stands. The chosen sat himself down in a chair and slouched into it. He signaled with a flick of his wrist for Roxas to sit down in the other chair. The nobody cautiously slipped down into the chair. It felt soft and comfy. Much nicer than the hard rock chairs they had at Castle Oblivion. He took a mental note to ask for them when he got back.

"Now, let's get down to business," Zelos commanded. He leaned over in his chair and folded his fingers together. Zelos had a serious look on his face and frowned slightly. "Roxas, take off that jacket. Let's see these stolen clothes." Roxas could tell that he being serious, but he still didn't like the idea of someone telling him what to do. He reluctantly took off gloves and laid them on the arm rest. Then he unzipped the jacket. He slipped it out from under him and also placed it on the arm rest. There was a sudden gleam in Zelos' eye.

"Mmm… that simply won't do."

"What? What won't do? What's wrong?"

"When you stole those clothes ink spurted from the anti-theft device thingy." Roxas looked down at his shirt and pants to see that they were ruined by huge ink stains. Roxas groaned. All of that commotion was for nothing?!

"The good news is that you have a very slender body, don't you?"

"Excuse me?"

"It's almost… feminine," Zelos noted. Roxas jolted. He had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well. The nobody frowned in a flustered state.

"Wh-what does that have to do with anything, anyway?!"

"Don't fret now, my little Roxas. It's good news."

"…?"

"You see, how you're gonna pay back your debt is to help me out. I have to go to a party a week from now, and I have to learn how to ballroom dance. Ballroom dancing, however, involves a partner. That's where you come in."

"Oh… god no!! You don't mean-"

"That's right!" Zelos said with a smile, "you're going to be my female partner."
