Thanks to everyone who has been reading this story so far, I hope you all have been enjoying. Now let's get on with the chapter!

Ch.5

Over week had passed since Saix and Axel had joined the Organization and their strength had increased greatly. Both of them had learned more about their own powers and worked hard to strengthen them. It soon was easy for them to use their powers and magic easily after days and days of training.

They soon were sent out on various small missions, to see how well they could work out in the field. The missions were nothing large or complicated, mostly just recon and taking out small groups of Heartless here or there for the time being. They only were being sent into Twilight Town for the time being, though they were told eventually they would be able to go out to other worlds.

Not only were they being sent out on missions, but they were now filling out mission reports after each mission as well as filling out the day in their journals. Saix had also seemed to be excelling in writing mission reports, his attention to details and awareness of the areas his visited really showed in his reports. Ever since starting missions and mission reports Saix had begun to be far more serious, throughout the days he dedicated his time to working hard and research, but at the end of each day he still went with Axel to enjoy ice cream at the clock tower.

Another day had ended and the two were on top of the clock tower with their ice cream. They started to eat in silence like they normally did, enjoy the first few bites of their ice cream before one of them decided to speak up.

"I found out something today...about the Organization," Saix said.

Axel looked over at Saix, curiosity filling his eyes, "What did you find out?"

"I learned about how they are planning to achieve their goal of creating Kingdom Hearts. In order for it to be created...they need the Heartless to be destroyed. So then the hearts they are collecting will go to Kingdom Hearts." Saix explained.

"But the only way for a Heartless to be properly be destroyed and the heart to be released...is by the keyblade," Axel added.

"Yes exactly."

"But that means…" Axel trailer for a moment as he thought as he took a bite of ice cream. "Sora…"

"Yeah… it seems they have been monterting Sora ever since he started using the keyblade. With him going around and defeating all those Heartless, he is helping the Organization without even knowing it." Saix stated.

"Isn't that technically a good thing though? They said once Kingdom Hearts is created we can get hearts and be Somebodies again." Axel said.

Saix had a bite of his ice cream as he slowly nodded, "It seems that way...but there still are things I don't trust about the Organization. There is still a lot I want to find out about."

"What else can there be though?" Axel asked.

"Plenty." Saix said. "I know there is more than what they have told us. I overheard the higher ranking members talking the other day. I heard something about a second castle."

Axel raised his eyebrow, "A second castle? Did you get the name of it?"

Saix shrugged, "I didn't get to hear too much, I just heard about something for a second castle and that was it."

"Ah… I see." Axel said as he finished off his ice cream.

The two sat quietly for a little while, eating their ice cream as they watched the sun set. They ended up talking a little about their missions for the day at first, but then Axel spoke up with something else. "When we get to go out to other worlds...You think we'll run into Sora?"

"Didn't you already ask something like that before?" Saix asked.

"Yeah… but I am just thinking about it again. Sora goes around to other worlds defeating the Heartless and we may be sent out to those same worlds."

"Maybe," Saix shrugged nonchalantly.

"But what if… we do see him again? What… would we tell him?" Axel asked.

"I don't know…" Saix said. "I would think it would be pointless to try and explain what happened to us. It may only worry Sora. If the chance comes up where we could see him again, I think it would be best to avoid him. At least until we're Sombodies again."

Axel sighed, but didn't feel like saying anything more. He let out a long sigh as he stared out at the sunset. He knew Saix was right, it would be best not to run into Sora as they were...but he still wanted to see his newest friend again.

A few days later Saix and Axel entered the Grey Room to receive their missions, but as soon as they walked in the area, they were informed that there was going to be a meeting. A very important meeting. Both of them heading to the Round Room and prepared to hear whatever the important information was going to be.

Xemnas soon entered into the room, sitting on his chair that was raised far above everyone else's. "Good tidings, friends," Xemnas began. "Today is an important day. We have a new comrade chosen to wear the coat. Our thirteenth member."

Down below all the chairs a young looking boy with blond spiked upward hair and blue eyes walked into the room, being slightly guided by one of the other members. Axel looked closely at the newcomer, from the looks of it, he seemed to be close to Axel's age, though maybe a year or so younger.

"Let us all welcome Roxas, Number XIII. One of the keyblade's chosen ones." Xemnas finished.

At those words both Axel and Saix looked directly at Roxas. He seemed to look up and around at all the member, but he seemed to sway slightly as he stood there. It almost looked like he was in a daze.

"One of the keyblade's chosen ones…" Axel repeated the words in his head. "But I thought….Hmm… Just who is he?..."

After the meeting Axel quickly met back up with Saix in the Grey Room. "Saix...So what did you think of that? That kid I mean." There were a few other members sitting in the room so Axel had used the name 'Saix', they both had gotten use to their new names, but every once and a while when they were just by themselves they would still call each other by their old names.

Saix shrugged, "I don't know. I never thought that there could be more than one who could wield the keyblade."

"But you don't think that…" Axel trailed off as he couldn't think of the words he wanted to say.

Footsteps were then heard entering the Grey Room. Saix and Axel turned their heads and saw that Xigbar had entered the room, slowly being followed by Roxas.

"There you two are, I was hoping to find you guys here" Xigbar said a chuckle as he walked over to them.

"Do you have our missions ready for today?" Saix asked in a serious tone.

"Heh, yeah I do. Right here," Xigbar said as he gestured to Roxas standing next to him. Roxas didn't seem to react, he just stared at the flooring in a daze.

"What do you mean?" Axel asked.

"Roxas here... he doesn't have any of his memories from his past. So he is in a bit of a zombie-like state. So that means you guys get to watch after him for today." Xigbar explained.

Saix and Axel looked at each other for a moment and then at Roxas. He slightly lifted his head and looked over at the two, but his eyes were still hazy and he didn't say a word.

"Why us though?" Saix questioned. "We still are the youngest and newest members. Isn't an older and higher rank member more qualified for something like this?"

Axel rolled his eyes slightly at Saix's comment. He was always being serious and direct about everything of lately.

"Well you guys have shown that you have gained experience and now you can think of this as a challenge for you two. To see if you can really work with whatever we give you. Plus we think it would be good for Roxas to be around people close in age," Xigbar said.

"So we just have to watch over him for today?" Axel asked.

"Yeah, just don't let him wander off," Xigbar laughed. "Not that he is even really capable of doing something like that. Good luck" Xigbar then turned around and walked out of the Grey Room.

"Well Roxas, my name is Axel, and that is Saix. Got it memorized?" Axel asked as he did his usual gesture. It still felt a little weird for him to be using the name 'Axel' now instead of 'Lea' but he was slowly starting to get use to it.

Roxas nodded a little after Axel's introductions, but didn't do anything else. He just stood there and seemed to space out. The three of them stood in the room for a moment, not saying a word. Axel sighed after a bit and finally spoke up, "Now what?"

"We do as we were told and watch over Roxas," Saix responded.

"Yeah I know that," Axel said as he rolled his eyes. "But we can't just stand here the whole rest of the day and do nothing."

"Well what do you suppose we do then?" Saix asked as he crossed his arms.

Axel thought for a moment before a smile appeared on his face, "Let's do what we always do after work, but this time with Roxas."

Saix let out a small sigh, "Isn't there anything else you can think of beside eating ice cream?"

Axel shook his head and smiled, "Nope. Besides I think it would be nice for Roxas. To commemorate his first day of joining the Organization and all that."

"Fine. Let's go then." Saix said as he opened a dark corridor.

"Come on Roxas, follow us," Axel said as he motioned for Roxs to come.

Roxas lifted his head again, looking at Axel and Saix. After a moment of staring he slowly nodded and followed behind them into the dark corridor. The three of them entered out into Twilight Town and Axel ran off to get ice cream like usual, though this time he bought three bars. As soon he had them he returned back over to Saix and Roxas and the three of them headed up to the clock tower.

Once they were up there Axel and Saix sat down like normal, Roxas though stared out at the sunset. "Whoa…" he said softly.

"Well would you look at that, he can speak," Axel joked. "Come on and sit down Roxas. You gotta eat your ice cream before it melts." He held out the third ice cream bar towards him.

Roxas nodded again, "Okay…" He slowly sat down next to Axel and took the ice cream. He stared down at it and didn't make any attempt to take a bite. Though he looked up to see both Axel and Saix taking a bite of their own ice creams, so Roxas brought the ice cream up to his mouth and took a bite.

"It's...salty….and sweet." Roxas muttered.

"It's called Sea Salt ice cream, got it memorized?" Axel asked as he again placed a finger to his forehead. He could hear a faint sigh from Saix, but he didn't care so much.

"Sea Salt… ice cream," Roxas repeated.

"Yeah that's it. You got it," Axel said.

After that none of them really spoke. Saix was already known for being quiet most the time, but Roxas just slowly ate his ice cream as he occasionally spaced out and stared at the sunset. Axel wanted to say more, but he had no idea what to say or ask. Roxas couldn't remember his past, so trying to ask him anything about it wouldn't really do much of anything. There was something that seemed familiar about Roxas though…but Axel couldn't seem to figure it out.

"Is it because he has the keyblade?" Axel thought to himself. "He has a keyblade and it reminds me of Sora? Hm…Maybe I'll talk to Isa later about it."

Afterwards the three returned back once their ice cream was finished. Roxas was guided back to his room and Xigbar explained to the two other boys that Roxas would probably sleep until his mind was a bit more conscious of everything.

Later that night Axel entered into Saix's room, he found Saix at his desk writing in his journal. "Hey Isa," Axel said as he walked closer.

Saix looked up a moment later and closed the journal, "What is it?"

"It's about Roxas. Doesn't something about him...feel familiar?" Axel asked.

"I wouldn't say he feels familiar…" Saix grumbled slightly. "But...I do get what you mean."

"Do you think he is connected to Sora in some way?"

"I don't know…"

"But the name...It's just that if you think about it…Could Roxas be..." Axel sighed, not able to get his words together.

"I understand about the name and also of course the keyblade...but there are other things that go against that idea. His appearance is drastically different and there is also the fact that he has no memories of his past. So we can't assume anything about Roxas if he is in fact connected to Sora." Saix said.

"I get that…" Axel sighed as he leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. "I'm just wondering. I hope at least he will start to act more normal, he seems like a nice enough kid. Maybe he can hang out with us at the clock tower after we all finish our work each day."

Saix just hummed as he turned to look out the window. There was still nothing out there in the sky. It was still just the darkness.

"I know it has just been us hanging out there, but I think Roxas needs some friends here," Axel said.

"I suppose so. But let's hope now that we have him in the Organization that the plans can move forward," Saix said not taking his eyes off the empty sky.

"Yeah you're right about that," Axel agreed as he also turned to look out the window.

"I could maybe try to find out about Roxas," Saix spoke up again. "I am sure there must be some information on him somewhere. I know there are records on all of us kept somewhere."

"What?" Axel asked. "How long have you known that?"

"I overheard it again the other day," Saix simply stated. "There are records with information on all of us pertaining to our abilities and various other things about us, like where we are from."

"How could they find things like that?"

"I don't know, but they just do. But that does mean there must be something on Roxas. If I can get access to those records I can find out more about Roxas. It will probably take some time though to figure out."

"Well if you do ever find out, let me know." Axel replied, still finding it a bit odd and weird that there would be records like that here.

"Of course," Saix nodded.

"I should probably get back to my room. Night Isa," Axel said as he turned to leave.

"Night Lea," Saix said.

Axel laid in his bed that night, the thoughts still flowing through his head. Just who was Roxas? Where was he from? Why did he have a keyblade? Was there a connect to Sora? There was just too many thoughts to think through. Whatever it was though, Axel had a feeling that he could easily make friends with Roxas. There was just something in the back of his mind that told him they could be friends, why that was though Axel couldn't figure it out.

And that wraps up another chapter for this story. We got Roxas in the mix now! How will things go with them all being around the same age? Will they enjoy days and days of ice cream? Well we shall see on the next chapter! XD

Thank you all for reading and see you next time!
