Chapter 2

Now while Xehanort may be a genius at inventing, but when it came to getting somewhere he was totally worthless. He was doing good until the sun started to set which made it a little dark for his eyes to see. Without knowing it, he was lost as he kept going in circles with Philippe getting annoyed by his driver. "We should have been there by now." Xehanort said while looking back down at his map. Suddenly, Philippe stops as the old man looks up to his there was a fork in the road.

Xehanort looked at his map then back at the two roads. It seemed that the one on the right was on the map but not the left one. With a sly smile, he points Phillippe to the right. "We'll go this way." The horse looked at the road that his driver wanted to go but it didn't look quite inviting. It was really foggy and dark down that way while the other was more cheerful, more inviting than this one. Phillipe rolled his eyes and tried to go left but Xehanort stopped him. "Come on, Phillippe, it's a shortcut! We'll be there in no time." He exclaimed as he made the horse walk down the path.

Once down the path, Philippe started to feel a little nervous. The trees were leaning in odd ways as well for the branches as they twist and turned in many directions. We wind blowed in numerous way that if you listened closely it almost sound like they were saying to turn back. Unlike his rider, who was calm and still looking at the old map, Philippe didn't want to walk another step into the woods.

All of a sudden, a quick blur of a shadow crossed through the trees. The sound of leaves and sticks snapping and moving made the brown horse stop in alert. The surrounding was quiet for a minute until a wolf howled in to the night sky, scaring Philippe even more.

"This can't be right!" Xehanort exclaimed as he lifted up his lanter. They should of been at the fair already for if they weren't there soon he would have to wait until next year to show off his invention. "Where have you taken us, Philippe? We'd better turn around." He said as he tried to turn his horse around, but Philippe was more frightened by the sounds of wolves coming at them then trying to get away.

Xehanort finally got the horse to back up a little bit so he could turn, but Philippe kept on moving and hit a tree making millions of bats appear out of it freaking out the horse even more. Without a second thought, Philippe launched out onto the road not even caring if his rider was ready or not. The second he took off he hit a bump which made Xehanort lose his grip on the rains as he fell onto the floor. He groaned as he sat up just in time to see that his horse was being followed by a pair of wolves.

Suddenly, once Xehanort got to his feet, he turned around to only be met with a pair of hungry yellow eyes that belonged to a bunch of wolves. The old man gasped at the sight as he ran through the woods, trying to get away from the hungry animals. Without even looking, he fell down a steep hill which led him to an iron gate and a fence that surrounded a castle, but Xehanort didn't have enough time to admire his surroundings as he ran toward the gate, yelling, "Is someone there? HELP!"

He shakes the bars in panic as they finaly open up making him fall on the floor. Before the wolves could even reach him, he quickly closes the gate in which makes the hungry animals pull back some. With a sigh, Xehonort stands up but to only gasp at the sight of an dark and scary castle. The walls were made of golden iron as well as black for in the middle was a symbol that seemed to appear confusion into the man's eyes. The sight of it made a shiver of nervousness run through his body as he slowly walked up to the golden doors.

Once inside, the sky thundered as rain started to pour from the sky. With relief that he didn't get wet soon vanished as he looked around the foyer. It looked nothing like a castle to him, for there was a staircase, doors, and windows only except they were built a little different than from what he had seen. There was no light in the room except for a fire that appeared in a room to his right. Even though he was dying to get warm he stayed where he was for he wasn't even invited to came in for the first place.

"Hello," Xehanort called out hoping someone could hear him. Besides his usual echo, there was no answer. "Hello...?"

"Poor guy, he must have gotten lost in the woods." A small voice said.

"Quiet, you idiot, maybe he'll go away." Another said, only this voice was a little more louder and it happened to reach the old man's ears.

"Is someone there," he asks while looking around the room.

Off in a corner, was a red candlestick whose eyes were green and had two black rain drops under them. The other was a blue clock that had hazel eyes and an scar that appeared of an 'X' on his face. The clock narrowed his eyes at his companion for he knew what he was going to do wheather he liked it or not. "Not a word from you, Axel! Not one word," he threatened only to get a grin back at him.

"I don't mean to intrude but...I've lost my horse, and I need a place to stay for the night." Xehanort explained hoping that whoever was in the room would allow him to stay.

"Aw, come on Saix. Have a heart," Axel insisted but to only get his mouth covered up by Saix.

"Ssh," he hissed. Axel rolled his eyes as he held up his hand as he burned Saix's hand which made him take his hand off of him.

"Of course, sir! You're welcome here," he announced while ignoring the daeth glare coming from his buddy.

"Who said that," Xehanort asked not knowing that he picked up Axel.

"Over here."

"Where," he felt a light tap on his head. Once he turned his head, he was met with a pair of green eyes and crooked grin on the candlesticks face.

"Hello," Axel exclaimed to only make Xehanort drop him in surprise. With a curious glance in his eyes, he looked down at the candlestick in amazment wondering how on earth something could be talking.

"Incredible..."

"Well, now you've done it Axel! Just peachy," Saix exclaims as he tries to land a punch on his friend's face but to only be blocked with fire.

"Oh my, well hello there I'm...ah, ah, ACHOO!" Xehanort greets but to only sneeze in the prossess.

"Oh, you are soaked to the bone, sir. Come, warm yourself up by the fire." Axel insisted as he led the man to the parlor.

"Thank you," he mumbles.

"Hold it, don't you dare!" Saix yells as he runs after the two. "You don't know what our master would do if he catches him here!" he exclaimed but to only be ignored again. Unknown to them, a mysterious figure was crouching by the stairs. He was watching the whole thing without a care. He would've let the old man stay, but not when he was in a horrifing form. With a growl, he rushes off into the darkness.

"I command that you stop right there!" Saix demanded but to only fall and trip on the stairs. As he got up, he groans as he sees Axel allowing Xehanort to sit in a comfortable armchair right next to the fireplace. "Oh, no, not the master's chair!" He finally get's up on his feet until a red blur rushes off past him. It looks like a footrest, but in the prossess it acted more like a dog as it barked. "I'm not seeing this. I'm really not seeing this!" the clock yells as he covers his eyes wishing that this was all a dream.

"Ah, what servies." Xehanort chuckles as the footrest lifted up his feet and a coat rack covers him up in a blanket.

"Knock it off all of you! Don't forget who is in charge here..." Saix exclaims only to be runned over by a tea cart. When it stopped near where Xehanort was, two figures revealed themselves. One of them was a female yellow teapot with light green eyes, and a gray teacup with turquoise eyes.

"Sir, care for some hot tea?" the teapot asked in a cheerful voice. "It'd warm you up in no time."

"No tea..." yelped Saix. "NO TEA," but as usual, no one listened.

Xehanort took the teacup and started to drink. However, once he started to slirp a giggle started to be heard in his ears. "It feels funny, Mama!" the voice said while laughing. Xehanort stops and looks to see that the small voice was coming from the teacup.

With a chuckle, "Oh, hello."

Suddenly, the doors to the parlor slammed open as cold air blew around in the air making the fire go out. Everyone stopped what they were doing as all of the creatures looked at the door with worried eyes. As for Xehanort, he was shivering with fear as he held the blanket around him tighter hoping that the person would just leave.

"There's a stranger in here," it hissed as it's glowing yellow eyes searched the room.

"Uh, master, let me explain." Axel said as he stepped up with a shaky voice. "This man was lost in the woods, all cold and scared, and..." he started but to only be interrupted by a smack in the face as a deep red claw mark appeared on his cheek.

Saix saw what had happened as he finally came out of hiding. Not wanting a mark on his face or body he takes a hold of the carpet and holds it up just to be safe. "Master, if I can just say...it was all his fault! I wasn't in on the idea from the beginning! Blame hime," he shouts pointing at Axel who was about to throw a fireball at him. "I tried to stop them but did they listen, heck no! They don't care and..." but just like before a claw was raised and was about to hit the clock, but Saix quickly ducked under the carpet not wanting to came out again.

Xehanort had heard the whole thing as snuggled closer to the blanket. He turned his head to the left to only see nothing, but when he turned it the other way he was face to face with a dark shadowy creature with glowing yellow eyes. The sight and the form of the shodaw looked more like teenage boy with spiky black hair. With fright, he jumped back from his seat and backed away from the Heartless

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" demanded the boy as his voice cracked with a hiss.

"I-I got lost in the woods and..." the man began but started to stutter as fear creeped into his mind.

"You're not welcomed here!"

"I-I'm sorry..." he apologized, trying to calm himself down, but the boy could easily see the fear in the man's eyes before he even began to talk to him.

"What are you staring at?" he hissed with a growl.

"N-nothing..."

"So, you've come to stare at the moster, have you!?" he snapped as Xehanort started to run for the door, but the shadow made it there first as he blocked his way.

"Look, I don't mean no harm! I just need a place to stay!" Xehanort exclaims hoping for the boy to calm down and let him leave without getting his head torn off or be killed.

"I'll give you a place to stay." The boy growled as he grabbed a hold of the man's shirt and started to drag him out of the room. The only sound that could be heard was the door slamming shut as Axel and the others stared helplessly as their master and the poor man left to the tower.

Well, there you go! Sorry if it's a little short it was all I could finish for now. And if you guys were wondering the castle I'm using is Hollow Bastion, so if that part confused you I'm sorry I was sorta in a little rush to finish this. Please reveiw and PM me if you want more, cause I already know you like "Kairi" but I still need to know about this one too now. :D

Hint: Look for Ch.6 of Kairi tomorrow!

Hint: Make sure you look out for some Axel and Roxas action in the coming up chapter in this. Yaoi!
