A Nobody's Heart

Ch. 3: Not Just Another Nobody

By: CRAZY-demented-WRITER-girl

Green eyes stared at the ceiling with hatred. Why did he have to take care of some puny kid? He hated kids even though he had been one before. At least he thought he had been one. He couldn't really remember. He couldn't even remember when he had been one of them. One of the somebodies. But, deep inside his heartless soul, he remembered being somewhere bright and sunny. He had been there with a few other people. People he had called his friends. Axel's thoughts were interrupted when he heard someone knocking on his door.

"What do you want?" he asked annoyed when he answered the door. It was Saix. Axel just stared at his emotionless face before Saix finally answered.

"I was sent to tell you that Marluxia wants to see you," hereplied flatly. Axel only grunted at the news and made his way around Saix, heading toward the meeting room. When he got there, he wasn't surprised to that they were the only ones there. He sat down, still staring at Marluxia.

"I called you here to explain about the newmember. I feel that it is essential for you to understand the importance of our little guest," Marluxia said.

"What's so important of the kid? He looks like he can't even fight good."

"He may be small in stature, but he is of great importance. He is the legendary Keyblade master's nobody." Axel watched as the corners fo Marluxia's mouth curled. Axel must have looked like he had just been stricken by lightning.

"You have been given a very important assignment. I expect you to do well and if you do, you will be rewarded," Marluxia commanded. Axel smiled and nodded. He liked the way this was going.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to be going," Axel stated politely. Then he got up from his chair and headed out into the hall. A sly smile formed on his lips. He had plans for that kid. Then he turned and headed back to his room.


Roxas poked his head out from behind the white door, his cerulean eyes switching back and forth nervously. When he was sure that no one was around, he carefully stepped into the hall. A slight rumbling noise came from his belly. His hands flew up as if trying to quiet it down. Then he looked down the hall. Where could the kitchen be? Another sound erupted from his empty tummy. Stealthily, he made his way down the hall in search for food. There had to be a kitchen in this stupid maze.

Roxas finally chose to head left. He looked around cautiously as he sneaked through the never-ending halls until he reached a dead end. There was no other doors in sight so, with a sigh, he opened the door. This was definitely not the kitchen. His eyes wondered over to where a small girl sat in the middle of the plain white room. She was hovered above something.

She looked up from her drawing and noticed Roxas. Their matching eyes met.Her hair flashed red, but then he realized that it was blond, kind of a lighter color than his. She smiled at him. Her smile was like the sun breaking through the clouds after a heavy rain shower.

"Are you lost?" Her voice was soft and mellow.

"Um...I was looking for the kitchen," he replied shyly.

She smiled agian. "Well this definitely isn't the kitchen."

Roxas barely cracked a smile. "Yeah."

"The kitchen is down the hall and to the left," she explained. He nodded and backed out the door. When he was back in the hall, he couldn't help but smile at himself then he headed down the hall and turned left. When he reached the kitchen, he peeked inside to make sure that no one else was in there. After making sure that no one else was there, he stepped inside. It really did look different than the rest of the castle with its blue and white tile floors, but the walls were the same.

Roxas made his way over to the cabinet and opened it up only to find it empty. He checked all of the other cabinets and even the refridgerator. Nothing. There was no food in this place.

"You must be really hungry to go through all of the effort to search each cabinets." Roxas turned around. It was the same red head from the meeting room. "Are you hungry? Cuz' if you are, you can have some of this!"

Suddenly, two wheels of fire formed in Axel's hands and he hurled them toward Roxas. Instincively, Roxas held out his hands. When he opened his eyes, he was taken aback to see two weapons of his own. He could feel the power radiating off of them. One stood for never-ending darkness and the other stood for a promise that would never be broke. He looked back at Axel who was just standing there with his chakrams in his hand.

"So, the legend is true. You are the Keyblade master." he smirked.

"Key...blade," he muttered. Roxas felt a tugging sensation coming from them. They seemed to want him to fight. He looked back at Axel. His green eyes met Roxas's blue ones. He gripped the blades tightly in hid hands and charged at Axel. There weapons clashed. Roxax swiped at Axel and hit him. Axel flipped over Roxas and hit him in the back of his neck. Then Roxas spun around and knocked a chakram out of Axel's hand. Then he charged at Axel and pinned him agianst the wall.

"You sure can fight for such a little dude," Axel smirked.

"It doesn't matter what size I am, I can still wipe the floor with your ass."

Axel's smirk only grew wider as he replied, "You may be big enough to kick mine, but you can never beat the Superior." Then, as Axel's hands began to heat up, he added, "Got it memorized?" And with a blast of heat, he sent Roxas flying agianst the wall. Right before he faded into unconciouness, Roxas remembered the face of the blond girl. He knew that she's not another nobody.
