Hey everyone. Surkura's been having a little writer's block lately, so this chapter might be some crap. Don't say i didn't warn you.

So here's chapter 4- I'm a good gawd damn father.

I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT KOURUXKA, SO PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER.

Enjoy ;3

He's been doing this for the last few days. Roxas couldn't help it though. The thought that Kouruxka might not be Axel is… well, scary. Axel tends to discard anything that he doesn't like and doesn't give a damn about anything that isn't his. The chance that Kouruxka is still his is the only reason that Axel is probably still taking care of her.

He sighed and turned his head to the door. He's awake, so he knows his daughter probably is in Axel's room. But she had yet to make a sound, so he guesses that's a good sign.

Kouruxka sat up and looked around the dark room. She turned to her wild sleeping father and watched him snore through her crib bars. She reached out and grabbed a teddy bear before sneezing a small white flame. The white flame hit the bear and started to spread. It hit the infant's hand, but did not harm her in any way. She slightly laughed and clapped her hands, the fire stopping and the bear completely damaged. She blinked her red eyes tiredly before falling back to sleep.

"Why are you getting me to do this with you, Demyx?" Zexion growled. Demyx smiled. "I want the first thing Kouruxka to see this morning it me." The Melodious Nocturne spoke proudly. "If she she's me when she wakes up, maybe she wouldn't be so afraid of me."

"Or maybe you need to quiet down." Zexion mumbled. "You are quite loud."

"I thought you like it when I'm loud."

"Demyx, shut up." The cloaked schemer flushed. "I swear, now's not the time to be talking about last night."

"I was talking about every night in general, Sexy Zexy." Demyx stated, ignoring Zexion's demands. "Besides, you're not as quiet as you portray yourself to be."

"… I'm leaving."

"What? Wait, Zexion?"

"Hold up." Zexion put his hand up in a stop motion and took a whiff of the air. "I smell ashes."

"Well, of course. We're near Axel's room."

"No. The ashes smell different then the aroma usually left by Axel's flames." Zexion stated. "Like a… white flame, I suppose. I don't know."

"That's a first." Demyx dragged Zexion to Axel's headstone in the Proof of Existence room. "It's definitely different."

"Zexy, can you stop worrying?" Demyx stated as the walked inside Axel's room. The Pyro was still in a deep sleep. The dou walked over to the crib, only to be greeted by big red eyes. "Hey there." Demyx picked her up. Kouruxka blinked a couple of times before she hiccupped. "Isn't she so cute, Zexy?"

"Ugh… Demyx…"

"What are you two doing here?" Roxas walked in the room. Demyx held Kouruxka up in the air. "Greeting the new member." He said as the infant screech a laugh, waking Axel up. "… what the hell?" He mumbled as his vision adjusted to their normal vision. "What are you doing here?"

"Greeting the new member." Demyx repeated. Zexion dug his hand in the crib and got out a completely burnt teddy bear. "Ugh… Axel? Did you do this?"

"… How did that happen?"

"Did you do it?"

"Of course not." Axel stated. "It was fine before I went to sleep." All four of the members looked at the bear. "What if it happened during a dream?" Demyx stated. Axel and Roxas glared at the Melodious Nocturne. Zexion sighed. "He does have a point. Axel's powers seemed to react to his emotions."

"My powers do not act up when I'm asleep." Axel hissed. Roxas turned his head to see an organization jacket sneaking out of the room. "I smell… sparks." Zexion stated, boiling the blonde's blood.

"There has been an issue reported about you, Axel, and the safety of the newest member." Xemnas stated at the meeting. "A report has shown that one of Kouruxka's possession had been set on fire."

"And you're thinking that I'll just set one of my daughter's thinks on fire?" Axel hissed under his teeth. Kouruxka was in his arms; she would've cried if she were in anyone else's. Despite his anger, he was careful feeding her, making sure she wasn't drinking to fast for her to choke. Luxord leaned on his armrest. "Well, we all know that Axel's emotions determine some of his fire power, but how can that happen in his sleep. The brain puts the body in paralyzes." He stated. "By all means, Superior, I believe that the report is not showing the evidence proving to bring any sign of concern to this matter."

"Well, of course it does." Larxene spoke up. "Are you stating that a fire near our newest member is not worth her safety and your time?"

"No. I'm just stating that the bitch who's trying to claim Axel as a bad father is obviously trying to separate them to go along with their earlier theory of not being the child's parent." Luxord retorted, taking the Savage Nymph aback.

Roxas bit his cheek. He was trying his hardest to not to attack the Nymph. "But, who else controls flames, Luxy?" Larxene continued to talk. "I mean, everyone loves her-"

"-Except you Larxene." Roxas hissed. "For all we know, you could've set her bear on fire."

"Really, brat. My lightning creates blue fire. I can't get any other color like Axel does." Larxene flipped her 'antennas' back. "Alrighty, then. I'm going to be completely honest for now on. I don't believe that Axel would be a suitable father. Kouruxka should be giving the duty of her mother or someone with a bit more maturity."

Axel growled deep in his throat. "Kouruxka belongs to me! She is my child!"

"There's a chance that she is not yours and you need to face that fact, Axel."

"I don't need to face anything, Larxene!" Axel yelled. "So what if I'm a little immature and just want to have fun. I'm seventeen, damn it! Who didn't when they were?! But I know good and well that I am a damn good father!"

"Superior, at least put him on watch-"

"I do not need watch, Superior!"

"You do and you know it! Stop denying it!"

"I'm not-"

"ENOUGH!" Xemnas yelled. "Although I do trust that Axel is capable enough to take care of Kouruxka, I am, also, concern about her safety." He sighed, gripping the skin in between his eyes. "For temporary use only, I put III and X in charge of VIII's actions."

"But Superior-"

"I have made my decision, VIII, and you will sick to it! Dismiss meeting."

"I should've known it was Larxene." Axel growled as he was opening a jar of applesauce. Roxas was rocking Kouruxka gently to stop all her fussing. "I mean, does that bitch have something against me or something?"

"I doubt it, Axel." Roxas and Luxord stated. Although, she might have something against his best friend and daughter. Xaldin looked at his distraught member. "Look, Axel. Maybe you need to rest. You had a rough day-"

"No!" Axel hissed. "I know that Xemnas put you in charge, but I also know that he's watching me. And although I know I'm a good gawd damn father, I have to reach that bastard's curriculum in order to keep her and Rox-" Axel stopped himself and looked at the blonde holding their child. His blue eyes were filled with worried. "Axel… please get some rest." He stated. "I'll feed her. I'll take care of her. I did it the other times you were asleep, right?" Axel slightly smiled before he cupped Roxas' cheek. "For you and Kouruxka… okay." He stated before walking off. Kouruxka giggled at her mother's flushed face. "hkadu." She turned to the applesauce. Roxas regained himself and started feeding her.

"I don't know what the Superior was thinking." Xaldin stated. Roxas looked at Xaldin in confusion. "You only had been here for a short time, Roxas." Xaldin stated. "But, I had to train Axel like he had to train you. He was a goof ball, yes, but he was reliable and responsible."

"True." Luxord took out a bottle of rum. "He always got the job done, even if it wasn't the way people wanted it done. Being seventeen with a position like this must be a strain on him."

"Speaking of him," Xaldin turned to Roxas. "Are you okay with this?"

"Of course. Because I know Axel is the father and I know that he's good at it, too." Roxas smiled. "I believe in Axel completely."

Xaldin chuckled. "Axel doesn't know just how lucky he is to have you." He got up." He needs to hurry up and say something before he really lose you."

"Wait-What?!" Xaldin walked off, leaving a confused teen. The Gambler of Fate shook the bottle up. "I didn't realize I finished this bottle already."

"You know, you shouldn't drink that much."

"Don't worry, luv. I have my reason." Luxord grabbed another bottle. Kouruxka eyed the bottle and reach for it. "I'm sorry, luv, but this isn't for you." Luxord moved the bottle away. Kouruxka screeched and the bottle blew out a stream of white flames. "Holy shit!" Luxord dropped the bottle. No flames… just liquid. Luxord looked at Kouruxka, then Roxas. "I-It could've been Axel, Roxas." He stated. "He must be angry that I had the drink near his sugar plump. A father always knows when their little girl is near something of danger or a bad influence."

"… Makes sense I guess." Roxas tried to calm Kouruxka down, ignoring the curious eyes Luxord was laying down on the girl.

Axel woke up to a sound. A familiar voice. His lover's voice. "…Axel?" The pyro woke up to see Kouruxka blinking her big red eyes in his face. "… glubato." She smiled and pulled his spikes. It really didn't hurt Axel much anymore, but he faked it just so he could hear his daughter laugh. Roxas sat on the bed. "You're okay?"

"Sure. I'm fine." Axel stated, picking up his daughter. "… You know, maybe it was my fault-"

"Axel-"

"What? A father should take responsibility for not protecting his child." Axel leaned on Roxas' shoulders. "Doesn't matter if I was the one who cause that fire or not, I've should've been protecting her."

"But Axel-"

"Shh." The pyro stated, laying his head on Roxas' lap. "I always wanted to do this." Roxas' face flushed once more. Kouruxka bit Axel's pillow out of boredom and huffed. "I guess she's upset because the attention isn't all on her, huh Roxy."

"I suppose." Roxas picked her up. The infant continued to pull on Axel's spikes. "Hey Roxas."

"Yeah?"

"… how will you think she'll react when we tell her the truth when she's older?"

"We'll worry about that later. Right now, we just have to get Larxene out of our ass."

"Ew." Axel scrunched up in his face. "If anyone should be going up your ass, it should be me."

"What?" Roxas yelled and Kouruxka laughed. "Oh you like that face?" Axel held his child up and scrunched up his face again, only to get a satisfied laugh. "I spoil you, you know that?"

"kigabuei"

"Yeah. I thought so." Axel rubbed her nose on his. Roxas just smiled at both of them. He decided not to ask about the comment earlier or the white flame in the rum bottle. Axel had a rough week and he need some time to relax.

It's funny how Kouruxka's laughter always make that happen, though.

It was the first time Kouruxka woke up while Axel and Roxas was still asleep. She looked at the light coming down from the sun roof with tired, red eyes. She watched the dust partictles dance to the light, obviously injoying the silence and sense of confort in the room. The little infant sneeze a small white flame in the air, but it disappeared before hitting the ground or anything else for that matter. "...ghogabluei." She yarned to the dust as if it was a real person and fell back to sleep.
