Now on to the story!

Ch.3

Over the next several days Roxas went on missions with the members. Saix would mainly be back at the castle, doing various chores or tasks given to him by Axel. But at the end of the day, when both of them had finished their work, they would met up on the top of the clock tower.

They didn't talk a whole lot, though when they did, they would have small conversations about the day and how Roxas was doing at his missions. Roxas still was spacey a lot of the times, zoning out as he looked out at the sunset. But even though the two didn't talk much it was nice and peaceful up there on the clock tower.

On the early morning of Roxas's twentieth day Saix had just woken up and was heading to the kitchen. As soon as he entered the room, the lights were already on and he had the rare chance of seeing Axel in there, sitting at the table. Though he was writing things down on various papers as usual, but this time he looked up at Saix.

"Ah, Saix. It's good that your here. There is some important stuff I gotta discuss with you. Take a seat," Axel said as he motioned to the seat next to him.

Saix quiet sat down and stared over at Axel. He had that cynical grin on again with his cold amber eyes staring right at Saix. "What is it?" Saix asked.

Axel leaned forward, placing his arms on the table. "So, the Castle Oblivion plans. They are going into action much sooner than expected. Be prepared to leave tomorrow." Axel said, with a tone of seriousness.

"Tomorrow? Why so soon?" Saix asked.

Axel shrugged rather casually, "Things happened and stuff. Doesn't matter really."

Saix sighed quietly, he could tell that Axel probably knew something else, but of course Axel wasn't going to tell him. Saix could only nodded, "Alright. Understood."

"Good," Axel said and then chuckled "Oh yeah, you're helping out zombie boy on his mission today. Big mission for him, make sure he doesn't die or anything. Hey maybe when you come back from Castle Oblivion he will finally be fully competent and not so worthless."

Saix closed his eyes and sighed again. As much as he wanted to argue against Axel, and try to tell him to stop bashing on Roxas, he had to keep reminding himself that it just wasn't worth it to do so. Axel wouldn't listen to what he had to say.

"Well I gotta go get some files and other things ready for you and the others for when you head out over there, and of course tons of other work too," Axel said before gathering up his papers and leaving the kitchen.

Saix stood up and then went to get some food to eat. He grabbed a bowl and filled it with cereal and after pouring in some milk. Once he sat down and began to eat, he starting thinking about the mission...and the plan for Castle Oblivion. He would leave with several of the other members for a while. Saix then thought of Roxas, and how they would not be able to have ice cream together for a while now. After the past several day Saix had begun to think of Roxas as a friend. He knew their conversations were not very talkative, but it was nice to have someone who Saix actually felt like he got along with to talk with if he felt so inclined to.

"Hmm... I wonder... should I tell Roxas that I will be leaving for Castle Oblivion?..." Saix thought to himself as he finished up his food.

Later on in the day Roxas entered the Grey Room. The members that were in the room were; Xigbar, Xaldin, Luxord, Axel, and Saix. Saix was off in the far corner of the room, staring out the window again.

"Roxas, hurry up already. Pick up the pace and get over here" Axel grumble loudly as he crossed his arms. Roxas quickly hurried up and walked up to Axel. "Today is a mandatory mission. You must complete it fully. Don't go slacking off or mess up. Saix is going to help you out today. Just inform me when you are ready to leave." Axel then handed Roxas the sheet containing the mission information.

After that, Saix walked up to Roxas, "I am ready to leave when you are."

Roxas nodded and prepared to leave. Shortly after getting things ready the two left for Twilight Town. They exited out of the portal and into the Station Plaza. There was silence between the two.

Saix looked over at Roxas, he was staring off into space again. It was becoming less frequent, but Roxas still had those spacey moments. Saix cleared his throat and spoke up, "Today's mission. We are here to defeat a Guardian, correct?" Saix asked Roxas, to make sure he was paying attention.

Roxas looked up, "Huh? Oh, yeah, I think so."

Saix sighed shook his head, "You must try to stop spacing out so much. Let's get to finding this Heartless."

The two made their way over to the Underground Passage, while fighting Heartless along the way. When in the Underground Passage they encountered more Heartless, which of course they fought off and defeated. After maneuvering through the area they finally came to the tunnel that lead up to the Side Street. As soon as the Heartless in that area were defeated they made their way down to the Sandlot.

Just as they got down there, several Watcher Heartless appeared and one large Guardian Heartless. Saix raised his weapon preparing to strike, "There is the target. Let's go!" Saix then charged right at the Guardian.

"Right!" Roxas shouted as he grabbed his keyblade and began to take out the Watchers that were flying around.

Before Saix realized it, Roxas had already taken out all the Watchers around them and now was helping defeat the Guardian. Within just a few minutes the Guardian came crashing down to the ground and a glowing heart rose out of it and into the sky above.

Saix desummoned his weapon, "Very impressive Roxas. A mission well done. Your abilities and skills have come a long way over these past days."

"Are we going to get some ice cream now?" Roxas asked.

Saix nodded, "Of course."

The two got their ice cream and headed up to the clock tower. Once there, they sat down and began eating. As they usually did they sat quietly and ate the ice cream as they watched the sunset.

Only after a few minutes did Saix finally speak up, though he spoke quietly, "It's strange to think… that I will actually miss this."

"This?" Roxas asked as he looked over at Saix.

"This whole having ice cream after work thing." Saix replied.

"Huh? Why is that?"

"As of tomorrow I will be elsewhere for a while."

Roxas looked back down at his ice cream, "Oh…"

Saix stared at his ice cream, thinking over where or not he should tell Roxas why he was leaving. Roxas was a nice kid, and was now his friend. There wasn't any problem in telling him and Saix wouldn't want to worry Roxas too much. Finally he came to his conclusion, "I am letting you know this because you're my friend. I will be going away to Castle Oblivion for some time."

"Castle Oblivion?"

"It is a the Organization's secondary castle and it's located in the world between worlds. It is not used as often, but for what I need to do I am to go there along with several other members. What we are doing there must remain classified though. So for some time I will not be here to have ice cream, nor will I be around at the castle. Do you understand?" Saix asked, wanting to make sure Roxas understood the situation.

Roxas nodded, "Yeah...I guess so. I just wish I was told more of these things sooner."

They sat in silence after that, neither not really wanting to talk or say something. Once Saix took the last bite of his ice cream he stood up, "I should probably head back now. There is more preparations I need to do for tomorrow. Will you be alright on your own?"

Roxas nodded, "Yeah…"

"Alright. Then I will be off then," Saix said before heading off towards the portal that lead back to the castle.

Once Saix had left, Roxas went back to eating his ice cream. It was quiet, but not the usually quiet that he had gotten use it. Roxas figured that it would be strange now eating ice cream up where without Saix. After getting to know various the other members through talking to them in the Grey Room or going on a mission with them, Saix seemed like the nicest one. Saix wasn't rude or harsh on him like Axel was or a few of the other members were. He just talked to him, when he did feel like talking, like a normal person.

Roxas looked down to see that he had finished his ice cream, upon looking at the stick he gasped with surprise, for on the stick was the word "winner". He headed back to the Castle that Never Was, in hopes of seeing Saix, but he didn't.

Roxas Diary Entry: Day 22

Saix told me that he is going off to a place called Castle Oblivion. He said that he told me because we're friend.
He left early...for more preparations or whatever, but only after he left did I noticed the word "winner" on my ice cream stick. I didn't know you could win something from eating ice cream… I wonder what it is. If I see him tomorrow I will ask him...Though he said he wouldn't be there for sometime...but maybe he might be in the morning.

Secret Report: Saix

Axel informed me that the Castle Oblivion plans have been moved up. Though Axel will not tell me the specific reasoning for doing this, I assume it has something to do with the keyblade master boy. The boy…his Nobody… I have been having ice cream with him at the clock tower over the past several days. Having someone to join at the clock tower for ice cream...it isn't something I thought I would be doing again…
I have been watching him improve over the days, not just in his field, but also in his expressions when we talk. He has started to lose the zoned out gloomy expression, but he still seems to zone out a lot. I explained about my situation about going to Castle Oblivion, but I am not completely sure he understood. But it is understandable because of his status. I can only hope he will do alright on his own for a while.

And that wraps up chapter 3. I know it's a little short and stuff, but it is the best I could do.
Alright. So I do plan to write a chapter or 2 for what goes down at Castle Oblvion and stuff, since it's Saix going and all that. So dialouge between characters will differ and stuff.
But anyways thank you for all the favs, follows, and reviews. Let me know what you thought of this chapter and I will see you next time!
