Chapter Ten Part Two: Insert Mandatory Mansex Joke Here

Traveling through the portal was terrible. Roxas collapsed onto his hands and knees as soon as they got out of it. He was shaking a little bit and coughing. Axel frowned and gently helped Roxas up. "I'm sorry Roxie. Traveling like that takes a toll on your body and it takes time to get used to it."

Roxas nodded but quickly shook all of it off. He didn't dare show Axel's boss how weak he may be at times. He straightened himself out and waited for Axel to lead him in. Axel gently rubbed Roxas' cheek. "Don't be too serious; it'll be ok."

Roxas gently leaned into Axel's hand but remained as serious as he could. "Axel this is serious. I'll relax after I meet him." Axel just nodded and led Roxas inside an enormous castle, made out of all white marble. Countless tours, windows, and stairs. Roxas felt like the castle would be an exercise in itself. Roxas sighed and tried not to seem intimidated by the castle as he continued on

XX:BAM PAGEBREAK:XX

After about an hour of walking up stairs and through hallways, they had reached Axel's boss' office. Halfway through their trip Axel had told Roxas that they usually teleported to wherever they needed to go but he didn't want to risk hurting Roxas again. That made Roxas hold Axel's hand as they continued. They separated as Axel knocked on the door and a deep voiced answered for them to enter.

Roxas always thought that Axel had a strange eye-hair color combination, but this man blew it out of the water. He had long, flowing silver hair and sharp gold eyes. He had a calm face and a level stare. He was also wearing a black robe similar to Axel's. Overall he seemed liked a level headed person. Xemnas gave him a smile and said, "Welcome Roxas. My name is Xemnas and welcome to Organization 13. I'm sorry about the incident yesterday. We had known that there was a small disturbance centered on you but it's been around you six months and never made a move. I offer my deepest apologies for a making a wrong assumption and hope that you would still give my organization a real chance."

Roxas was shocked by how polite the man was. Once he got over his shock and cleared his throat. "Good evening sir. I see that you already know my name so now we can move past our introductions. From what I've seen and heard yesterday's incident was unavoidable but in no way anyone's fault." He gave a severe look to Axel but continued. "I won't hold it against you or your organization. The only thing I would like to get is combat or self-defense training. Last night showed me how unprepared I am for situations like that. I hope we can work out a training regimen for me sometime in the near future, sir."

This time Axel was shocked about how polite Roxas could be. Xemnas gave Roxas a friendly smile. It was obvious that he approved of Roxas' manners. "Of course. I think it would be fair to assume that you want Axel to train you." Roxas nodded. "Very well. All three of us can work together to create a regimen that fits your schedule; as important as training is your schoolwork and job are more important. And I don't have to worry about Axel training you because according to his report you already have a deft use of your element. Later today I'd like to see what you can do, if that is acceptable."

"That sounds acceptable. I'm not sure what you're going to think of my talents; they wear me out if I use them for more than 2 hours."

"That's fine young man. I won't judge you for what you can and can't do. I want to see how much and how fast you learn. I have high hopes for you and I can't wait to see what you can do."

Roxas smiled, sensing a challenge. "Yes sir."

Xemnas got up from his desk and walked over to Roxas. "Its very nice to meet you Roxas." He reached out and shook Roxas' hand. He had a firm handshake, which was expected. Roxas was glad to see no malice and ill-intent in Xemnas. He seemed like a nice polite man. Something he imagined how his dad acted around people who weren't his son.

Xemnas led the two to the exit. "Feel free to explore and meet the other members. Axel will lead you to the training room later tonight so we can test your skills."

Roxas gave him a polite smile. "Thank you for your help and kindness sir. I'm excited for what the future brings."

"We all are, Roxas." He gave them a kind wave and closed his door. Axel quickly spoke up after he left. "Where the hell is my sassy boyfriend?!"

Roxas smirked, put his fingers in front of Axel's face and snapped his fingers. It didn't seem like much but it released a giant flash of light temporarily stunning Axel. When Axel came to again, Roxas was down at the end of the hallway. He screamed, "Sassy enough for you?!" Axel bolted after him and tackled him to the ground. "Yes. That's more like it. What do you want to do until we're called for?"

"First, get the hell off of me!" He quickly got out from underneath Axel. "Second, I'd like to learn about what this organization actually is. Still haven't gotten that question answered."

Axel chuckled nervously and looked away which made Roxas scowl. "You don't really know do you?"

"Weeeeelllll I tend to tune out when people talk about history. So yeah, I dunno. But I know who does. Follow me, my prince." He gave Roxas a Cheshire cat smile. Roxas just rolled his eyes and held Axel's hand in his and let Axel lead him to wherever their destination was.

XX:BAM PAGEBREAK:XX

As Roxas continued to be led down hallway after hallway, he finally saw a familiar face; well a familiar strange hairdo. "Hey Roxie! Nice to finally see you in the castle!" he quickly came over to Roxas and Axel with an older man who had a long black ponytail and an eye patch.

Roxas gave Axel a scowl. "Did you teach him that name?!" Axel put up his hands defensively which caused the other couple to laugh at the two. The older man spoke up. "You're right Demyx, he has spunk. No wonder Axel likes him." he made his way over to Roxas. "Hey there squirt, the name's Xigbar."

Roxas tilted his head. "They let pirates in here?"

Xigbar let out a hearty chuckle. "I like you squirt! Make sure you keep that flamer in line." Roxas just rolled his eyes. He looked over at Demyx who gave the other blond a wink. Suddenly Demyx leaned onto Xigbar's shoulder, moving their faces closer together. "Xiggy? Can you get me some ice cream? Please…?" He finished it off with some puppy dog eyes. Xigbar lasted about half a minute then sighed and slumped. "Alright… You're lucky I have a thing for blonds." Demyx's face lit up and gave the man a quick kiss. Xigbar kissed back with a smile on his face and left to get the ice cream.

Roxas couldn't help but to smirk. "Well we know who the captain of that ship is." Roxas immediately frowned. "I'm sorry that was terrible." He sighed and buried his face in Axel's sighed. Axel just sighed. "You know that pun rule applies for you also right?"

"I know leave me alone."

Demyx had been laughing the whole time. "You guys are such a cute couple." Axel beamed but Roxas scowled at nothing in particular. Axel spoke up for him. "Don't worry. That's his way of saying thank you."

Demyx smiled at the other blond as Xigbar came back with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Demyx squealed and threw himself on Xigbar. "Oh thank you! Best boyfriend ever~!"

Xigbar chuckled and put his arm around Demyx. "All that for ice cream? Wait till we break in your bed." Demyx turned deep red but continued eating his ice cream.

Roxas quickly spoke up. "OK we're leaving!" Roxas quickly dragged Axel off down a random hallway while Xigbar laughed his head off.

Unfortunately it was the wrong hallway and Axel had to get then back on the right path. About an hour and a half after they got to the castle Axel had said they finally reached the Organization's library. Axel put his finger to his lip as he led Roxas into the library. Inside was an enormous amount of books. Books on books on books. There were a few sofas and chairs sprinkled around the library for people to relax and read in them. In a comfy chair near the back was a short man with long slate hair over one of his eyes, his one eye showing the same color as his hair. He was wearing the typical organization robe. Roxas guessed that it was required to wear it at the castle.

He looked like he was deep into a book to the point that he didn't notice Axel come over until he rested his arm on Zexion's head. "This is the resident bookworm. If you want answers about the history of the organization, this guy's the person to talk to." Zexion gave Axel an intense glare and shrugged off his arm. Roxas was in shock and awe; he hadn't seen anyone else give a scowl anywhere near as good as his. "Whoa. No wonder you weren't bothered my scowl. Seems like he had been giving you several since you've been here."

Axel walked back over to Roxas and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Nah the only reason I was immune to your scowls because you're too cute!" then it was Roxas' turn to scowl. It was nearly identical to Zexion's and it made the other man raise an eyebrow. He decided that this was the time to introduce himself. He walked over to Roxas who was currently brushing off Axel and extended his hand. "Good evening. My name Zexion and its nice to meet you."

Roxas offered a polite smile. "Evening. My name's Roxas and its nice to meet you, too." They shook hands and sat next to each other in a couple close chairs.

"So are you new to the Organization? May I as what your element is?"

"Yep, today is my first day here but I'm not sure if I'm in the Organization yet. And my element is light." He made a small ball of light the size of a pearl on his finger.

Zexion's eyes lit up with fascination. After studying it for a few minutes Zexion recreated the pearl of light on his own finger. Roxas gave him an extremely confused look. He tried to manipulate Zexion's pearl back into his own hand but it wouldn't move. "You're not going to be able to take it back." Zexion explained. "It's an illusion. I can create whatever I want."

Roxas looked amazed. "Where does your ability come from?"

"While yours comes from all light sources, mine comes from inside me. I create the illusions inside my imagination. I know it sounds like something out of a five year old's show but its true."

"So that means you can never be completely cut off from your element?"

"For the most part yes, I can't. I've seen other people succumb to element deprivation and it's not a pretty sight." Roxas nodded and looked away. Axel had been tuning out of the conversation but he heard the topic change and he came over to Roxas and sat next to him to give him comfort. He gently played with Roxas' hair and gave him a tender kiss on the cheek. Zexion noticed the swift change in mood. "I'm sorry if I mentioned a touchy subject. Please accept my apology."

Roxas nodded. "It's ok. I tried it during training with Axel and I had a huge freak-out. We haven't tried it again since." Roxas quickly turned to Axel and gave him a loving kiss as he squeezed his hand.

Deciding to change the subject, Roxas turned back to Zexion. "I'd like to join the Organization but I need to understand a few things before I do that. Like how this Organization came into existence. What do you guys do? How much danger am I in while I have power over my element?

"Well let's start with the history. We each have our own numbers." He points to a patch on his cloak. It had the roman numerals VI on it. "Xemnas, number I, Xigbar, number II, and Xaldin, number III, grew up together and eventually found out they each had their own elements. Xaldin told me that after that they had spent several hours experimenting and playing around with them. Unfortunately they had attracted the hunters. The monsters that try to take our elements away don't have a specific name but personally the term hunter seems to fit the best so I use it when I can. Anyway, the original three had several close calls with the hunters to the point where they had to go into hiding. Xigbar had used his powers of special distortion to find a portal to this castle and those three have been here since." Zexion paused to fix the hair over his eye to continue to cover it. "They had been recruiting others like them and us over the years and eventually formed the Organization."

Roxas was processing everything Zexion had said. "I think the term Hunters are perfect. And it sounds like they're a big problem."

"Yes they can be. But just like the Hunters, we can find power in numbers also. That brings me to the next question. What we do here is kind of a three part process. One part is scouting out other people with elements. Another part is combating the Hunters. And the last part is dedicated to researching a way to permanently eliminate the Hunters. If you do become part of the Organization, you can pick which goal you want to work towards."

As Zexion finished his sentence the sound of someone clearing their throat was heard. All three looked over at a wall of a man standing near them. He had crazy orange hair and a serious face. Muscles upon muscles were stuffed into his robe. He was definitely an intimidating person. "I'm sorry to interrupt but I was hoping I could bother Zexion for a few moments." Roxas didn't say anything while Zexion made his way over to the giant man. "You aren't a bother Lexaeus." He followed the man outside with a small smile.

Roxas gave Axel a questioning look. "Don't worry. They're dating. Lexaeus may look like he would crush you with one touch but he only uses his strength when he needs to." Roxas gave a nod and leaned into Axel while they waited.

After a few minutes, Zexion came back with a pleasant smile on his face. "I'm sorry about that." He sat back down near Roxas. "So back to your last point." Zexion's face took on a grim look. "Since your element has manifested and you've been using it on a daily basis, almost all the Hunters know about it. They'll search for you until the end of time and chase and attack you until they call it their own. I'm trying to be as blunt as possible so you can understand the severity of the situation. You need to be on your toes every day. You need to make sure you keep the people around you safe because they will become targets in the future. I'm not saying that you should hide out in this castle. I'm saying you need to be strong enough to protect the people you care about. Here they'll teach you everything you know AND keep an eye out for your friends and family in case you're out on a mission. We'll help every way that we can but it will come down to you in the end."

Roxas had grabbed ahold of Axel's hand and was squeezing it tightly, tension evident on his face. He was already worried about his friends back home. Axel quietly whispered into Roxas' ear. "Don't worry I had an ex-coworker keeping an eye on your friends. When we get back I'll help you keep them safe I promise." Roxas nodded and gave him thank you.

Axel spoke up while the tension started to fade. "Well I'm glad you got your answers but it's about time to show of your skills to Xemnas." Roxas nodded and turned back to Zexion. "Thank you so much for all your help and information. I feel like I would like being part of this Organization of Xemnas gives me a chance."

Zexion gave Roxas a nod and a small smile. "I have a feeling he'll give you a chance for sure and I'm glad I got the chance to help and influence your decision in joining the Organization. If it's alright with you I'd like to help out with your training. Here's my cell phone number; please let me know how your meeting with Xemnas goes and if you're willing to accept my help."

Roxas happily accepted Zexion's number. "I will. I would love to get as much help as possible. I'll let you know as soon as I'm done." Roxas looked up at Axel wrapping a possessive arm around Roxas. "But Roxie! I'm supposed to train you!"

Roxas couldn't help but chuckle. Axel was so cute when he pouted. "Don't worry you're still train me the most but Zexion will help out on the side. Now let's go my liege." Roxas smirked at Axel as his face lit up at the nickname. Axel picked up Roxas onto his back and carried him to the training room, piggy-back style. Roxas gave a wave to Zexion as they charged out of there.

It sucks trying to rush stories to get them done before work. Anyway I tried to balance out the serious parts with humor. Let me know if I did a good job!

I need to mention something important! When i wrote chapter 9 I didn't realize that in the 1st chapter I had mentioned that the settings in this story were based on worlds and not actually Earth so I messed up big there. I figured I could actually have the world that Roxas and co. were living on be Earth while still having other worlds available out there. I just wanted to point that out and apologize.

So there probably won't be another chapter this week and maybe not next sorry :( this week i'm super busy with work and friends PLUS I just got my frist XBOX 360! Super exciting so I'll be playing that non stop. The good news is that I have the general outline of the next chapter done and i'm working out the details in my head so if I keep thinking about it I'll eventually start writing again and hopefully soon!

See you next chapter!

PS no music again just more of Gordon Ramsey screaming at people. Man I love watching him do that.
