Okay, I'm not too sure if I did a disclaimer in the first chapter but I'm going to do one now for good measure:

I don't own Kingdom Hearts so please don't sue me because I only have 75 dollars and that wouldn't even get me a crappy lawyer.

Couple of thanks to Eienakari and gokeauoftheast (who is my boyfriend who made an account just to comment to make me feel better) for their reviews!

Sorry y'all no sex in this chapter it's just laying down the plot and stuff.

Chapter Two: Parchment

Riku alternated from banging on Roxas's front door and ringing the doorbell for about ten minutes, clearly not getting an answer from him. "Roxas! Open the door!" Riku screamed loudly and continued to bang on the door.

"He's not in there," Axel said softly looking downward.

"How would you know, you made him mad last night he could just be ignoring you. You never know." Riku responded matter-of-factly, which earned him a light punch and mean glare from Sora. "See, now you've gotten Sora mad at me." Riku told Axel gently rubbing the spot where Sora had punched him.

"No, you're just being an ass." Sora replied to Riku.

"Whatever," Riku muttered while tapping this chin with his finger obviously thinking about something. "Say Sora you like climbing things, why don't you climb through one of the windows." Riku said, as if it were the best idea in the planet.

"They could be locked." Axel spoke up.

"Well then I might just have to check them all. We are getting into this house." Sora said confidently, slowly walking through the bushes on the corner of Roxas's porch to get to the side of the house. Sora climbed up to the first window he saw which was not too high up. Unfortunately, it was locked so he tried a window that was a little higher up the wall. It required him to use more of his upper body strength to reach. This window luckily was unlocked and Sora toppled into Roxas's kitchen sink. Rubbing his backside some, he got up, closed the window and headed to the front door to unlock it.

While Sora was trying to get in the windows, Riku was trying to make Axel feel a little bit better. "Axel, I'm sorry about what I said earlier." Riku said very apologetically. "We'll find him don't worry." He said while rubbing the distraught teens back.

"I got in!" Sora blurted out scaring the two men standing outside.

"Geez do you think you could have been a little more enthusiastic? You almost gave me a damn heart attack!" Riku breathed out trying to get over his shock.

Riku, Sora and Axel crept inside the house slowly(just incase there were unwanted people inside). Axel led the way to Roxas's room as Riku and Sora closely followed. The house was dead silent and Axel knew that if Roxas were here, it would not be this quiet. Stopping at Roxas's door, Axel closed his eyes and held his breath as he slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open. Not hearing a gasp from the other two boys, Axel opened his eyes to an empty room.

Looking around Axel did not see anything out of place except for Roxas's bed. He voiced this thought aloud: "If Roxas deliberately left, he would have made up his bed. He's a neat freak as you guys can probably tell from the rest of his room." Axel said with a sad laugh. "He was taken by someone." Axel said quietly, already knowing who was behind this.

Riku went to sit on the unmade up bed and looked around the room once more. Nothing seemed out of place, until he glanced at the door. "Sora, shut the door." Riku ordered.

There, on the other side of the door, was a note written on parchment and tacked against the door with a playing card. Axel immediately noticed the distinct card as one of Luxord's but did not say the name aloud. Axel read the note "You are a scar upon the Organization."

Sora and Riku looked confused, "What organization?" Sora asked Axel.

Axel did not respond. He clenched his fists together before grabbing the note and storming out the room. Riku and Sora glanced at each other for a moment completely and utterly confused by Axel's actions and ran after the man.

Axel was pacing in Roxas's driveway when Riku and Sora arrived outside. "Axel, what's up? What's this organization thing?" Sora asked walking up to his hysteric friend who was muttering things such as "I thought I got away from them forever," and "I escaped from them."

Getting no response from him other than those types of phrases, Sora turned to Riku and said, "I think it would be best if we took him to your place for the time being." Riku nodded his head as he ushered the troubled man into his car.

(A.N. I was going to end it here but I decided against it)

While on the drive to Riku's house Riku asked Axel if they should go to the police and report the kidnapping, but Axel said that the police would not help. Axel knew something that the other two did not and they knew it. They silently agreed that they would get Axel to tell them what was going on once they reached Riku's house.

After a few minutes, they reached the house. Riku knew his parents were not home and that Axel could let out all his frustrations without being interrupted. Determined to figure out what this organization was, Sora said to Axel, "If you want us to help you then you're going to have to tell us what's going on because you know something that Riku and I do not. So please, tell us what you know" Sora was always the compassionate one.

Axel shuddered, clearly on the verge of crying, knowing that he would have to tell the two boys if he wanted any help with getting Roxas back alive. He opened and closed his mouth several times thinking over how he would exactly tell Riku and Sora. "They want me personally, this has nothing to do with Roxas, they want me." Axel said softly, tears threatening to fall. "Organization 13. Like the name would suggest, there are 13 of us. We were hired killers, Roxas and I, working for a man, Xemnas. We all have special powers and abilities." Axel demonstrated this by bringing a flame to his fingers through snapping his fingers. Riku and Sora were astonished. "Anyways, Roxas joined about 2 years ago because Xemnas became fascinated by his ability of light and keyblades like Sora" Sora looked confused.

"I thought nobody had a memory of when their worlds disappeared." Sora whispered to Riku a little too loudly.

"We're Nobodies Sora. We are the Heartless of the people whose hearts were stolen. Roxas, he's your Nobody." Axel said to a perplexed Riku and Sora. He knew they would not understand. "I fell in love with Roxas almost immediately. It took me a year to convince him to leave the Organization with me. Xemnas has been looking for us ever since. But I've kept him safe. Kept him safe until now." Axel said tears falling from his eyes.

Axel cried for twenty minutes. Riku and Sora could do nothing to get him to stop so they left him in peace. They were sitting in the living room talking when Axel stopped crying and slowly walked into the room. "Sora, do you still have your keyblades?" Axel asked with a smirk.
