Chapter 7
"OH MY GOODNESS, ROXAS! You have to tell me EVERYTHING!" I groaned. Kairi could be so annoying sometimes. So annoying that she'd come to my house the next day, which just happened to be Saturday and bring her big-mouthed boyfriend.
"Nothing happened!" I told her for the billionth time, "Sora just has to tell is girlfriend everything!"
"Hey!" Sora protested, "You threw that popcorn bucket at me!"
"That was you? That was so funny …WAIT! You were there?" Kairi yelled, "Spill."
I finally gave in. I told her barely anything, but Kairi, being Kairi, was able to figure out the rest.
"She fell asleep? AWWWWW!" I groaned. This was torcher worse than school and that's saying a lot, "Now, we have to get her to like you back."
"What?" I shouted, "No-"
"Yes, this-" Sora interrupted Kairi and whispered something in her ear. She smiled.
"Sora, sometimes I wonder if you are better at this than me," she said, "Bye, Roxas! See you soon."
I called to Sora as the giggly couple left my house, "Why, Sora? Why? " I was left without an answer and laid on my bed wondering what those two could be scheming.
I skateboarded out of my house. The sky was blanketed with a blanket of darkness. How perfect. The silence was only intruded with the sound of my wheels rolling on the ground and a few teenagers walking through the neighborhood. I turned down a dark alley. I grabbed my skateboard and quietly snuck inside a dark abandoned building.
"Thirteen," said an older voice, "You're late."
I winced. This was exactly what I had been trying to avoid. I silently walked into our meeting room and climbed up onto my chair.
I looked around and could make out a few faces. I found Demyx, Xigbar, Zexion, and a few of the other organization members including our leader, Xemnas and my arch enemy, Saïx. Axel, Larxene and Marluxia were apparently missing.
"As I was saying, we have some new mission assignments. Pull them out."
I grabbed the small sheet of paper under my chair. I unfolded it and of course mine just happened to be a combat mission. Defeat the giant heartless in Wonderland. I wondered why we still used code names. A "giant heartless" was a teacher and "Wonderland" was my science class. Not that I would mind getting back at my teacher, but combat missions aren't my favorite.
"Awwww," Demyx complained, "a combat mission? You guys know I'm not cut out for them."
Xemnas sighed, "Someone trade with this incompetent fool."
"Here, water boy," Xigbar handed him his paper and Demyx happily traded his.
"Now that we are all happy with our missions, I would like to congratulate you. Kingdom hearts is growing stronger," I had no idea what "Kingdom Hearts" really was. All I knew was that it was our organizations goal. Saïx, Xemnas, Xigbar and maybe a few others were the only ones who really knew what it was, "Axel, Marluxia and Larxene are sure to be punished for their actions. Dismissed."
I winced for Axel as we all walked out of the building. Organization 13 could be brutal sometimes. Demyx interrupted me as I grabbed my skateboard.
"Hey," he said, "could we, like, switch assignments?"
"I thought you wanted recon?"
"Yeah," he scratched the back of his head, "I can't do mine. You have to be a softmore to do this one."
"Are you sure?" I asked, "Mine's a combat mission."
"I know. I figure out a way."
"Okay," I said. We switched papers and said our goodbyes. I jumped on my skateboard and took out my paper. It was a recon mission; it couldn't be that bad.
I saw just how wrong I was when I read my paper.
