"What do you mean I'm perfect for all of you?" Roxas asked.

"Exactly what I said," the brunette said. "You're everything we want; you're young, you smell good, you know what we are already, and not to mention you're adorable."

"Sora," the silver haired vampire said, "he isn't that adorable."

"Oh come on Riku," Sora whined, "just look at him."

Riku stared at Roxas for a long time until he smiled and walked over to the blonde. "I guess Sora has a point, you are kind of cute." Riku reached down and touched a lock of Roxas's golden blonde hair and sniffed it. Riku smiled, "And it doesn't hurt that you smell good too."

"Riku," the red head girl called, "quit trying to seduce that boy."

"Are you mad because I'm better at it than you or Namine?" Riku asked.

Sora laughed, "Well, Kairi, are you?"

"No," Kairi hissed, "I just think we shouldn't play with our food."

"We're not playing," Sora said.

"Besides," Riku said, "we can't kill him in one feeding, it would be a waste of good food."

When Riku turned away from the blonde, Roxas began to walk backwards slowly. None of them noticed so he picked up the pace, and when he thought it was all clear he turned around. Only when he turned he ran into Namine, the blonde vampire girl.

"You can't leave," she whispered.

"Did you think it was going to be that easy to get away?" Riku asked standing behind Roxas.

As soon as Roxas turned, Riku grabbed his wrist. Riku's nails dug into his skin and Roxas gasped, "Th-that-that hurts, let me go!"

Riku chuckled and bent down towards Roxas's neck. Roxas stiffened as Riku whispered, "I see you've already had a vampire bite you recently." Riku then stuck out his tongue and licked the area where Roxas was bitten by Axel. "And that sort of thing makes me want to taste your blood even more."

"Can I have a taste after Riku?" Sora asked.

"Sure you can," Kairi said, "we all can."

"But I'll be the fist," Riku said. He looked down into Roxas's eyes, "Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."

Roxas felt Riku's breath as he leaned closer to his neck. The blonde took a sharp in take of air and waited for the pressure of the silver haired vampire's fangs.

Only he didn't feel the pressure. Instead he felt Riku being pushed off of him and a hand on his shoulder. Roxas looked up to see Axel standing behind him. The vampire's normal; green eyes were now as red as his hair, and his fangs were very noticeable through his snarling mouth.

"How dare you," Axel growled.

"My, my," Sora said, "you're sooooo scary."

"Shut your mouth you brat."

Sora huffed, "So I'm a brat now?"

Riku stood in front of Sora, "We are a part of the Destiny pack, and may I ask who you are?"

"I'm one of Organization XIII's members," Axel said still furious.

"The Organization," Kairi breathed.

"They're a bad group," Namine said softly.

"And why should we care?" Riku asked.

"Riku," Sora warned.

"More importantly, why do you care for this human here?" Riku asked looking at Roxas.

Axel hid Roxas behind him, "That's of no concern of yours."

"Were you planning on keeping him to yourself?" Sora asked. "That's not very fair."

"Keep up your king of talk and I'll give you a good scar to remember me by," Axel snarled.

"We get it," Riku said, "We'll leave."

"But Riku," Kairi and Sora said together.

"We're leaving," Riku said more stern.

The two shut their mouths and started walking back.

Riku began to follow them before he turned around, "I hope that I get to see you both again soon. Until then, don't devour Roxas completely, Axel."

How does he know my name? Roxas thought.

Riku smiled and with that he disappeared. Axel kept a firm grip on Roxas's shoulder. "Axel," the blonde said looking into Axel's red eyes.

The red head looked down at Roxas. That's when he saw that look in the boy's eyes. Fear. Roxas was scared of him. Axel turned away, "Sorry I wasn't here in time. The first day and I screwed up."

Roxas touched the vampire's hand and smiled, "That's ok, Axel. I should have stayed on the bench and waited for you."

Axel looked sown and saw that Roxas's wrist was covered in blood. He gently grabbed his hand, "What happened here?"

"Oh," Roxas said looking at his hand in Axel's, "I guess that was from when Riku grabbed onto my wrist."

"Does it hurt?" Axel asked.

"It stings a little but that's about it."

"Then I'll fix it," Axel said leaning down and started sucking on Roxas's wrist. He wasn't biting the boy's wrist, he was kissing it.

"Axel," Roxas gasped. He's not biting me, but I can still feel his fangs on my skin.

Axel chuckled and let go of Roxas. "There we go, now your wound is all nice and clean."
"Thank you, Axel," Roxas said moving his wrist around.

Axel smiled as he leaned down and kissed Roxas's nose, "Let's get you back home for the night."

Roxas blushed, which made Axel laugh and ruffle his blonde spikes. "You're such and idiot," Roxas blushed, walking ahead of the vampire behind him.

Axel laughed again at the flustered blonde as they walked back together.

…...

When both Axel and Roxas were back at the house, Axel sat down in the living room as Roxas changed. The vampire sat there and tried to connect with Xenia in his thoughts. Xenia, are you there? Axel thought.

Yeah, I am, is something wrong?

I had a run in with a pack today at the park.

Which pack was it? Xenia asked.

It was the Destiny pack; well it was a small group from the Destiny pack. At least that's what their leader of the group said.

That's pretty strange for them, they may travel but this is a long way from their home.

That's what I thought to, Axel said.

Did anything happen when you saw them?

They tried attacking Roxas while I was gone. They didn't succeed but I think that their leader may be watching Roxas.

What's the leader's name? Xenia asked.

He called himself Riku. The other members names were; Sora, Kairi, and Namine. I don't know how long they've been here but they're all pretty fearful of the Organization, accept for Riku.

That's something that we'll have to watch out for. Xenia said. Until then you keep watching Roxas and I'll look for this pack and show them a reason to really fear us.

Don't hurt them too much.

I'll just give them a little warning to insure they behave themselves.

At that time Roxas came out of his room and sat down next to Axel. He was wearing a sweater and a pair of jeans. "Axel, are you ok?" he asked.

"Oh," Axel said noticing Roxas next to him, "hold on a second, ok?"

Roxas nodded and sat in silence.

I have to go Xenia, Axel said.

Alright, I'll tell you if anything happens.

Ok, I'll be home when Cloud gets back.

Good, the others are asking where you've been all day, Xenia said.

Well, I'm coming home soon. Thanks again Xenia.

Sure thing, I'll see you soon.

Axel left Xenia after that and looked at Roxas, "Sorry about that."

"Were you talking to Xenia?" Roxas asked.

"How did you know?" Axel asked.

"She told about what she can do one day."

"Of course she did," Axel sighed. "Anyways, I'm going to stay with you until Cloud comes home."

"What will you do after that?"

"Me? I'll probably head back to my house to visit my partners."

"What are your partners like?" Roxas asked.

"You already know all of them from school," Axel said.

"No," Roxas shook his head, "I mean all the other members for Organization XIII, what are they all like?"

"They're nothing like Xenia and I are. We don't act the same as the rest of them," Axel said looking at the floor.

"Axel," Roxas said to get the vampire's attention.

Axel looked up to Roxas's smiling face. The boy touched Axel's face and made him stare right into his eyes.

"That sort of thing makes you who you are, never forget that, ok?"

"Yeah," Axel smiled.

"And you don't have to answer my question; I can tell you don't like talking about the Organization."

Why does he care about my feelings? I'm just a vampire and he's a human, nothing more nothing less. But I still can't help but smile when I see his face. I want-his soft hands, his tender smile-I want to- Axel started leaning towards Roxas.

"Axel," Roxas asked, "are you going to bite me again?"

But instead of saying something Axel leaned down and pressed his lips against the blonde's soft ones. He grabbed onto Roxas's waist as he depend their kiss. Roxas didn't say anything but he wasn't moving either. Axel held Roxas with such softness since he was so fragile and Axel feared the thought of breaking him.

Axel let go of Roxas and stared into his eyes. "Sorry," Axel said looking away, "I guess that was too much, huh?"

"I didn't know you were going to do something like that to me," Roxas breathed.

"Was it too much?" Axel asked embarrassed.

"I'm not really sure," Roxas said. "It was a little confusing, but it didn't feel bad. Axel, do you like me?"

"Yeah, I like you a lot, for a kid that is."

"I don't know whatyou mean by that," Roxas said tilting his head to the side.

Damn this kid is cute, Axel thought. He leaned down and kissed Roxas again on the lips and kept him there until the blonde gasped for air. Axel hovered over Roxas and soon he was on top of him on the couch. Roxas wasn't trying to fight back but he looked a little fearful of what was going to happen next. The vampire whispered in his ear, "You remember when you asked me if I was going to bite you?"

"Yeah, wait, you didn't eat while you hunted did you?" Roxas asked getting up.

"When I saw you weren't on the bench I rushed to save you from those vampires, so no, I didn't eat while I hunted." Axel placed a hand on Roxas's chest and pushed the boy down. He hovered over the boy's neck and began to open his jaw, but he stopped when he felt something wet fall on his head. He lifted himself away from Roxas and saw that the boy was crying.

Oh shit, Axel thought. "Roxas, are you scared?"

"No," the blonde sobbed, "I'm ok."

Axel sighed and put Roxas on his lap. He gently stroked hi blonde hair, "I went too far, I'm sorry. I promise never to scare you like that again."

Roxas put his head on Axel's shoulder. He didn't say anything but soon he fell asleep on the vampire.

When Axel noticed this he picked up Roxas and put him to bed again. He pulled up a chair and sat down in the corner of the room. Axel sat there and watched over Roxas as he slept. I'm jealous that I can't sleep like that anymore, Axel thought.

A few hours passed and Axel heard footsteps coming in. He got up and walked over to meet Cloud in the kitchen. "How is he?" Cloud asked.

"He's fine, he's fast asleep right now," Axel said.

"I met Xenia on my way home. She told me that there has been a pack sited in town."

"Yeah, we had a run in with them today."

"And was Roxas harmed?" Cloud asked.

"No, I got there before they did anything," Axel said.

"It sounds like you're doing a good job then."

…...

"So do you think we'll find anything good here?" Sora asked Kairi.

"I don't think so," Kairi said wrinkling her nose, "and I'm not in the mood for homeless blood."

"Blegh," Sora said in disgust, "I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to drink that, so where do you think we could find some good food?"

"We can always look around some small neighborhood."

"Oooooooh but I was hoping you would say we could go taste that one boy's blood," Sora whined.

"Not if that Organization member is watching over him. Going near that kid would be like a death wish."

"He didn't seem that tuff."

"Are you saying that because Riku said it?" Kairi asked.

"No," Sora said, "I'm just speaking the truth, what do you think, Namine?"

The blonde girl looked up, "I think it would be a bad idea to go near any of the members."

"I agree," Kairi said.

"But we can still hunt around here right?" Sora asked.

"Yes," Kairi said, "we just have to be extra cautious now."

"You should be a little more secretive then if you don't want to get caught," said a person right behind the group of vampires.

"And who are you?" Sora asked.

"You mean you couldn't tell?" they asked.

"Wait a minute," Kairi said, "that cloak you're wearing, that's an Organization cloak."

"So what are you, a spy or something?" Sora asked.

"If you want to call me a spy then so be it, but I trust me I'm a lot stronger than a simple spy," they took off their hood and revealed a girl's face with purple eyes and spiky black hair.

"You're a girl," Namine said.

"Yes, it would seem I am," she said.

"So what's your name?" Kairi asked.

"My name is Xenia, but you might know me as someone else," Xenia said as she pulled down her cloak to reveal a mark over her heart. The mark read 0 and the other vampires shuddered.

"You're number 0?" Sora asked shocked.

"Yes, and I'm here to tell you something. We don't enjoy your kind near humans. If you decide to go against our rules here, punishment will be met by one of our members," Xenia said coldly.

All three of them gulped and took a step back. "We get it," Kairi said. "We'll keep our distance from humans and follow your rules."

"I would hope so, and I wanted to ask you all a question," Xenia said.

"What do you want to ask?" Namine asked.

"Where exactly is your leader right now?"

…...

"I can't sleep," Roxas mumbled to himself. Roxas touched his lips and rolled to his side. How does Axel really feel about me? I don't know what's going on, but I don't want to ask him about the Organization since it seems to make him depressed about it.

Roxas sat up from his bed and combed his hand through his hair. "Maybe some fresh air will help," Roxas whispered. He got up and walked over to his window.

The moon was shiny bright through it and he smiled. The moon always seemed to give Roxas some ease. He opened his window and took a breath of fresh air.

There was a sudden movement out in his yard, but it was too quick for Roxas to notice. Roxas sighed and started walking back to bed. Then he heard another noise and he turned but saw nothing.

It's just my imagination, Roxas thought.

He started walking back to bed again when he felt a hand on his arm. Roxas gasped as he turned to see who was behind him. When he saw who it was he tried to let out a scream for Axel but was muffled by a hand coming over his mouth.

"Now we don't want anyone to know that I'm here," the silvered haired vampire, Riku, said to him.

Riku bent down and blew some type of air in front of Roxas. Suddenly Roxas felt dizzy and faint. He soon fell in Riku's arms. He picked the boy up and carried his body to the door.

The vampire smiled, "We're going to take good care of you, I promise, Roxas." Riku stepped out of the window and began walking down the road back to his nest with Roxas's limp body in his arms.
