Okay so I finally managed to get another chapter for this story done! Woo! Let's get to it!


Ch.6

The days after that continued on like normal. Axel and Saix would go on their missions and met up afterwards for ice cream on the clock tower. They would continue to have their normal small talk. Roxas was still resting over those days though, so he could not join them for ice cream. Axel waited patiently though. Not only was Roxas the only other member close in age, but Axel was still rather curious about who Roxas was.

Soon the seventh day had come since Roxas arrived. Not only was it that, but there was also a meeting being called by Xemnas. When Axel walked into the Grey Room he found a few other members around in the room, but he also saw Saix sitting on one of the couches.

Axel made his way over and sat down besides Saix. "So what do you think the meeting is about?"

Saix looked over at Axel and shrugged. "I don't know, but from the looks of it, it seems important."

"I thought you were good at finding things out?" Axel asked joking.

Saix just rolled his eyes and shook his head. Meanwhile Roxas had walked into the room, still looking very spaced out. He seemed to wander around for a bit, looking around the room and at the other members. As soon as Axel saw Roxas he stood back up and walked over to him.

"Hey Roxas," Axel greeted as he waved.

Roxas looked over at Axel and just seemed to stare. There was still a hazy look in his eyes, though it seemed like he was trying to process what was happening. Axel waited for a minute, but Roxas never ended up responding to him.

"Well… aren't you super chatty today," Axel said with a heavy hint of sarcasm.

Still Roxas said nothing in return. He just stood there and continued to look like he was only half awake. Axel sighed at the sight. It had been a week now since Roxas had joined the Organization, but he still seemed no different than he did that first day. While Axel tried to think of something else to say to Roxas, he heard Saix walk up behind him.

"Forget it. He's not going to answer anything quite yet. Now come on, we should head to the Round Room already. The meeting will be starting soon," Saix said.

Roxas looked over at Saix, tilting his head slightly. "Round… Room? Meeting…?"

Axel smiled over at Saix. "See? He knows what's going on around here." Axel then looked back at Roxas. "And yeah, apparently there is some big news. Though… Can't really say I am all to exciting for a meeting."

"It doesn't matter what you think of the meetings. We are required to go no matter what," Saix responded.

Axel rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah I know. So Roxas, ready to head over there then?"

Roxas stared for a moment at Axel and Saix, but then slowly nodded. "Okay."

Axel smiled again, seeing that Roxas seemed to be getting a bit better at responding. "Let's go then."

The three of them then left to head off into the Round Room for the meeting. Once everyone arrived there in their seats Xemnas began his speech.

"Good tidings, friends. Today is a momentous day," Xemnas started as everyone listened in. "I am pleased to announce that a new comrade has been chosen to wear the coat." At the moment he said that a person wearing the cloak walked into the center of the room. Though their hood was up so no one could see what the new member actually looked like. "Number XIV. Let us all welcome one of the Keyblade's chosen."

At those words Axel's eyes widened as he looked at the newest member and then to Roxas and then back to the newest member. So many new thoughts and questions began to fill his head, but he knew now was not the time to ask about them. But he was still trying to wrap his head around it all.

The meeting continued on for a little bit, but it was soon over and everyone was to return to their tasks for the day. Both Saix and Axel did not have any out in the field missions for the day but they did have some small training to do in the Hall of Empty Melodies. When they arrived in the room, they both looked at each other, but did not say a word. But from the looks on their faces, they knew they both wanted to talk about what happened at that meeting.

After a while of training, they were done for the day and could now do whatever they wanted. The first they did of course was head out into Twilight Town for their usual ice cream time. Once they had their ice cream and were up on top of the clock tower, they finally began to discuss what they had been thinking all day.

"So that meeting today…" Axel started as he took a quick bite of ice cream. "The new member…"

"What about them?" Saix asked, as if he didn't know what Axel was trying to say.

"You know… they apparently have a keyblade. I didn't think more than one person would have the keyblade. But now both Roxas and the new member have it."

"It is quite interesting. I suppose we may have been misled before," Saix stated.

"What do you mean?" Axel asked.

"Originally we were told by Leon that he was looking for the one who had the keybalde. The keyblade's chosen one. And that gave us the indication that there could only be one chosen one of the keyblade. But now we have seen two others that also have the keyblade. So I suppose there can be more than one person that can use the keyblade," Saix explained.

"But for Roxas… We still don't know if he…" Axel trailed off for a moment as he bit into his ice cream again.

"Yes I know we still no nothing about Roxas's past. But even if he is connected to Sora, there is still the newest member who can use the keyblade.

"So you still haven't found out anything about Roxas?" Axel asked, hoping that there was maybe something else Saix knew.

Saix shook his head before taking a bite of ice cream. "No nothing yet. I am trying to learn more though, but there is a lot of other information to look at as well."

"Like what?"

"While doing some research, I ended up finding some information about the Heartless and other stuff about them. Nothing super major, but it was just interesting to read about."

"Ah… Okay. But I guess none of it really was relevant to us right?" Axel asked as he ate more of his ice cream.

Isa nodded as he also continued to eat his own bar of ice cream. After a little while of eating their ice cream in silence Axel laid back and stared up at the sky. He let out a sigh as he stretched out his arms. "There's just too many questions about all of this…"

"I understand, but it is what it is," Saix responded.

After that they had nothing else to say at the moment, so they stared out at the sunset before them. A few more minutes passed and soon both boys had finished their ice cream. Axel sat back up and stretched. He wanted to talk more about things, but he just couldn't figure out what to say. It felt a little weird… he and Isa use to talk all the time back before they became Nobodies. But ever since they did become Nobodies...it was like something had changed between them. Axel found it harder to keep a conversation with Saix going nowadays. Saix was far more quiet than he was back when he was a Somebody. He was more quiet and perhaps more distant as well. It was something Axel had pondered before, but he really wondered how well Saix was handling being a Nobody. But he didn't feel the need to ask him about it, he knew very well that Saix would probably just give him just half an answer or something.

Axel stood up and stretched before he spoke. "Well… I guess we gotta head back now."

"Yeah," Saix replied as he stood up.

The two of them headed back to the Castle that Never Was for the night. They both headed back to their rooms without saying anything to one another. Once Axel was back in his room, he filled out his mission report for the day and then collapsed onto his bed. As he slowly drifted off to sleep, his mind wandered to many different thoughts. He thought over a lot of different things from still wondering who Roxas really was to what it would be like to be a Somebody again. He had so many thoughts, but now enough answers. And he wasn't sure if he would ever get all the answers he wanted.


And that wraps up that chapter! Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Sorry that this was a bit shorter but it was all I could get for this. Let me know what you thought and I will see you all next time!
