Chapter 2
What a day

"Eh?" again was the only thing Amu could say. How on earth could he see them?

"What are they? I've never seen anything like them before." Roxas put his hand down and continued staring at them. One was red and looked like she was wearing a cheerleading uniform, another was blue that looked like a boy, there was a green one wearing what looked like a green version of a maid outfit and then there was the one he spotted first. She had long hair in pigtails and wore a singer's outfit.

All four little creatures looked at one another and back at Amu, who looked like she was going to explode from nervousness. What was she supposed to say? Just come out with it? But the way Roxas was looking her meant she had to.

"I...they um...they're..."

"Amu-chan." Roxas raised an eyebrow as a blonde haired boy ran into the room. The first thing Roxas noticed was a lock of hair sticking up and going across his face along with pink-red eyes. You could easily mistake him for a girl with his small figure.

"Tadase-kun" Amu turned around to greet her friend, saying a silent prayer of thanks. "Why are you here?"

"You didn't show up for class" he began, "I was wondering where you were." Amu pointed over towards Roxas.

"I was showing Roxas around the school." Tadase extended his hand towards the other blonde.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Hotori Tadase." Roxas didn't raise his hand. He stared at Tadase, or rather, a little flying person next to his head. He looked similar to the other four.

"You have one too" said Roxas, eyes locked on the little person. He watched as it moved and whispered to the other small people. 'I wonder what they're talking about.'

"You...you can...see them?" asked Tadase. He was shocked to know that someone without a guardian could see them. Though this isn't the first case. He could name three other people who can.

Roxas staked closer, still not taking his eyes off the tiny people, not even blinking. When he was inches away, he grabbed the crown from what looked like a miniature king. What happened next gave him the fright of his life.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Roxas screamed in fright and jumped a few feet back, dropping the mini crown in the progress. The miniature king dove for his crown, catching it just before it hit the ground. Fixing his crown, he flew up getting right into Roxas' face. "You commoners should learn to respect your King!"

"IT TALKS!" Roxas retreated to the other side of the room, his back flush against the wall, disbelief spread across his features. "What is that thing!?" 'In all my life as a Nobody, collecting hearts, defeating heartless, this one ready creeps me out.'

Amu and Tadase looked at one another, debating whether or not to explain what they are, but the miniature king had other plans. He was the first to speak up. "I am NOT a thing" he said very offended. "I am a Guardian Character!" Now he sounded very proud of himself. A smirk plastered on his face said it all.

"A...Guardian Character?" Roxas overcame his shock. "What's a Guardian Character?"

"That's what we are" said the red Character as she and the others came up to Roxas.

"We represent what a person lacks or their dream" explained the tomboy.

"The four of us belong with Amu-chan" said the green one.

"Each chara has their own special powers that assist their owner" the singer looked very proud...or happy...Roxas couldn't tell which. It seemed like a bit of both. All of them in fact seemed to be happy. Why was that?

"So how were you created?" Roxas asked curiously. Each of them smiled and took hold of Roxas' hand with their own small ones.

"Come with us and we'll tell you" the red one said excitedly. Before the moved, the guardians looked towards Amu who gave a nod.

Roxas followed as he was lead to the Royal Garden, the guardians still having a hold in his hand. Amu and Tadase walked close behind, whispering to each other, mainly about Roxas being able to see charas and what exactly to tell him. He didn't mind really, now that he knew that nobody would attempt to blow his head off with a Big gunblade.

"Amu-chi!" cried a girl as they entered the Garden. Everyone watched as she launched herself onto Amu, her brown hair bouncing around her face. Amu was knocked onto the ground, left defenceless in the brunette's death grip of doom. "Where have you been?"

"Yaya...I was showing Roxas around." Yaya released her death grip and helped Amu to her feet. Yaya turned looked at Roxas, having a quick look over him.

Smiling brightly, she pounced onto an unsuspecting Roxas. The blonde fell to the ground with a thud, just like Amu did. Roxas struggled to get her off, but her grip was like iron. "For a small girl...you really do have a death grip." Yaya removed herself as another chara come up to her side. "There's another one!" Roxas pointed out, looking at the baby-like chara.

"You can see Pepe-tan?" asked Yaya. "You must have one too! Where is he?" Yaya looked around, attempting to find Roxas' so-called Guardian Character. Not finding one, she gave up with a disappointed sigh and sat down at a small table, situated at the top of a flight of stairs.

Amu extended her hand towards Roxas. "Don't worry about it." Roxas gladly accepted her hand and got to his feet, giving his shorts and shirt a quick dust off. "Yaya's very energetic and acts like a spoilt child."

Roxas glanced up to the table, seeing Yaya eating something that looked like cake. He had never had cake before and even if he did, he'd probably still go for sea-salt ice-cream. There was also two other girls sitting at the table. Both of them had long hair, except that one had blonde hair like his, but it was curly and reached down to her knees. And the other, who he was now embarrassed to realise was actually a boy, had long straight blue hair that reached down to his thighs.

"Come on up and meet the others." Roxas followed Amu and Tadase up the stairs. Yaya was the first to turn her attention back to Roxas with a mouth full of cake, followed by the blonde girl with a tea cup in her hand, and finally the bluenette after pouring one final cup.

"Who's this?" asked the blonde haired girl. She sounded very bored, like being there was the only thing that could fill her time. She didn't seem very impressed with Roxas either, giving him a frozen stare. This didn't faze him though. He'd already had a lot of experiences with all manner of glares, no thanks to his superiors on a bad day.

"I'm...Roxas Tzarix" he answered. It felt strange answering his name. Talking to people was one thing, but saying his name to so many, it felt extremely weird and out of place. The reason? First rule when in the Organization, apart from collecting heart, was under no circumstances are you allowed to tell your name to an outsider unless you plan on instantly killing them.

The bluenette came forward and held out his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Roxas." Roxas gladly accepted the hand, giving it a firm shake, a crooked smile on his face. "I am Fujisaki Nagihiko. And this" gesturing towards the blonde who was still throwing daggers at Roxas, "Is Mashiro Rima."

"Pleasure's mine." Being with so many people besides the Organization members, made Roxas feel slightly nervous, yet welcoming. He tried to remember his advice he received from other members, yet nothing came to his mind. He panicked slightly. How was he to react around them? That's when he noticed more Guardian Characters.

"Does everyone have those Guardians?" There were two more sitting on the table eating a big chunk of cake. One of them was a clown and the other looked like a rapper with headphones hanging around his neck.

Amu came up beside him as the other charas joined their friends. "Not everyone. Guardian Characters are born from your heart's egg."

"Usually only one is born" continued Tadase. "But as you can see, Amu-chan has four, each having their own specialty." This made Roxas depressed. He didn't have a heart, and having a little person following you everywhere seemed like a nice thing. That way when he'd go on missions by himself, he wouldn't be lonely.

"Do they have names? Or do you give them a name?" asked Roxas.

Amu's face dropped with wide eyes staring off into the distance looking shocked that she had missed one of the most important parts of the informing ceremony. "They have names. Mine are Ran, Miki, Suu and Dia" she said as she pointed to each one.

"Kiseki is my chara. Just be careful around him though." Roxas watched as Kiseki gave orders to the other charas. Most of them didn't listen though. Either talked to one another or ate more cake.

"I can see why. He sure does act like a King. Though I've seen better" commented Roxas. 'Xemnas doesn't really count, but he is a leader so it's close enough.'

"Nei nei" said the clown chara as she came up in front of Roxas. "If you don't have a chara then why can you see use?" First impressions are always the most important thing, and to Roxas, he was already fascinated by this one. She was bubbly and had the biggest smile on her face.

Roxas shrugged. "I'm not sure. I only noticed after I went into the art rooms. Dia? Was it Dia I saw first?" he asked Amu who nodded in response. "Dia was the first one I saw. I don't understand why though. So what's you name?"

"Kusukusu" she said happily, flying around Roxas' head. "That's Rhythm" she said, pointing at the chara wearing the headphone around his neck. "I'm Rima's chara and Rhythm is Nagihiko's."

Before anything else could be said, the school bell rang again. "So what does that mean?" asked Roxas.

"It means we have to go back to class" Yaya sighed disappointedly. "It was only lunch break." The six of them made their way back to the school entrance. All the charas were around Roxas as he asked question about each of them. He found out Ran liked sport, Miki was artistic and who he decided he liked the most, Suu was sweet and kind and Dia was like Amu's inner light and liked to sing at times. Kiseki was bent on world domination and Roxas could see him and Xemnas getting along just fine. Kusukusu likes to make jokes, Rhythm loved music and does things to his own pace while Pepe acted like a baby.

After ascending a couple flight of stairs they stopped. "Here's where a couple of us part" said Tadase.

"Part?" Roxas raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"It means some of us go to a different classroom" said Amu as she waved at Yaya and Nagihiko as they walked down one of the hallways. Roxas looked down the hall so he could remember which way he came from. He didn't notice the others were moving until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He snapped out of his trance to see it was Tadase. "Our room is this way." Roxas nodded. Amu and Rima were just up ahead of the boys, standing in front of a closed door with a star on it. To Roxas, it didn't look like a door. I looked more like a wall with a window on it.

It wasn't until Amu slid the door sideways did Roxas understand. 'OK I get it. Here their doors to sideways instead of opening backwards or forwards. Remember that for the future.' When they stepped inside the talking stopped and everyone stared their way. A lump formed in Roxas' throat as he felt all eyes on him. Amu stayed with him as Rima and Tadase took their seats in the middle of the classroom.

"What are you all standing around for?" Roxas jumped at the voice behind him. Turning around he saw who he presumed the teacher. He had long orangey hair that was tied back, wore glasses and was wearing a brown suit and green tie. In his hand was a book which he balanced on his shoulder. "Take your seats. We'll begin in just a moment."

Amu took her seat beside Rima and a row in front of Tadase. Roxas stayed where he was until everyone was sitting down. There was an extra seat at the back which was most likely for him, but before he could move, the teacher placed a hand on Roxas' shoulder. "You must be Roxas Tzarix right?" smiled the teacher. Roxas nodded and looked back at the classroom. Everyone was still watching him. The lump in his throat got bigger. He panicked.

"Listen up everyone. We have a new student as you can see. This is Roxas Tzarix. He's never been to school before so make him feel welcome." The teacher turned his attention back to Roxas. "Before you take your seat you will be calling me Nikaidou-sensei from now on. Is there anything you'd like to say to the class?"

'Anything to say!? ANYTHING TO SAY!? How about get stuffed!?' Roxas swallowed and sighed. Without thinking he said "this is lame." The class gasped as well as Nikaidou-sensei. In all honesty, that was defiantly not what he was to say. Roxas bent his head and made his way to his seat. 'Nice going you fool! Now everyone thinks you're some kind of rebel or something.' And just like he thought, all the girls whispered amoung themselves saying he was a 'cutie rebel'.

Roxas sat down and placed his bag beside him, like he had anything in it. There was only a pencil case and a copy book. Once he knows what subjects he does he'll go and buy more. 'Let's see. A quick review of my day. I met new people who have strange little people with them called Guardian Characters. I just made a complete idiot of myself in front of everyone and now I've been given a nickname that will now haunt me forever. What a lovely way to start the day. Now I've got to get through the rest of it.'

Roxas listened intently as Nikaidou-sensei was reading about Japan's history. He took some notes and tried to draw on the back page, though he made faces at his horrible attempts. Everything was new so he tried to pay as much attention as he could without finding some parts boring.

Before he knew it, it was the end of the day. He walked beside Amu and Tadase with Rima ahead of them. He got the feeling Rima didn't like him all that much. It didn't bother him though. He didn't find the girl all that interesting either. "I should be getting home. It's late enough as it is and father wants me home for work."

"So what does you father do?" asked Tadase. OK. This…Roxas didn't expect. He can't just say that he has to go out and collect hearts to create Kingdom Hearts now can he? He had to think of something quick.

"Um…well he…runs a small dojo…outside of the city." 'That could work. Now just don't ask-'

"What kind of dojo?" asked Amu.

'Why me? Why must everyone pick on me? Think. What does Xemnas like to do…sparring? Sword fighting could work.' "He teaches sword fighting, but with all different kinds. I help out mostly and do some training now and then." 'Niiiiice. Now just tell them they can't come visit because he had a strict policy that on one who's training or employed can not enter.'

"Sounds fun. Think we should go there Amu-chan?" Roxas stopped. Now what was he supposed to do? They were thinking of signing up. Amu and Tadase stopped up ahead but Rima kept going like nothing was going on.

"Something wrong Roxas?" asked Amu.

"N-N-NO…! No. Of course not. What w-w-would make you think that? I should go." Roxas ran past the two Guardians, out the school gates and just ran, not caring where he was going. He just dodged one heck of a bullet there. But what was he supposed to say to the Superior? This is not going to end well.


Dem Dem: well it's finally done. Sorry for the long wait but I was busy with school and I had a lot of assignments to do. Unfortunately this is only half edited so there will be some mistakes somewhere.

R&R please
