Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts in anyway and dream about owning Roxas….and possibly Axel so that I may fan girl over the cuteness and sexy ness of them both. Though Roxas is the more cute time wouldn't you say?
Anyway keep in mind, some of this isn't revised and it is my first fanfic, not to mention I have no clue how to edit the chapters after posting them because I'm lame…yes sad.
But enjoy and maybe review –poke- -poke-
A Stubborn Nobody
Jolting awake he woke up. He stirred letting out a groan as in felt another shove of a hand jolt him awake, causing him to leap up into a sitting position. His blue eyes then turned to glance at the being sitting beside his bed side. It was dressed in the same black attire as the person from the night before. He assumed that it was this person who had awoken him.
"So you're the new member. Number 13, Roxas, it's been awhile since we have had any new members." The hooded figure spoke in a somewhat mocking tone. On the side note Roxas noticed that his gender must be male by the sound of his voice.
"Yes….Roxas….number 13?" he replied questioning the number which the man spoke.
The hooded character shook his head, "Talk about blank with a capital B", he then let a sigh escape from his lips, "And cue introduction….you're Number 13 Roxas, the Key Bearer of Organization XIII"
There! Those last words rang a bell in his head; he recognized them, "Organization XIII? Key Bearer? It's what that man spoke of…..are you that man who found me last night?" he asked.
The other shook his head, "No that was Xemnas, but you shall call him The Superior." He said in an annoyed tone sick of these questions that came with the newbie or the baby of the Organization, "Why did I have to get assigned to educate the baby. I could be getting back to my own meaningless life now" he muttered under his breathe. He then pulled his hood back to reveal fiery red hair, spiked in various patterns, his eyes were revealed as well and they were a lime green or a light turquoise.
"Names, Axel. A-X-E-L, Got it memorized?" he spoke in the cocky tone once more, and flashing a smirk.
Roxas merely arched a brow at this specific character, "Axel?" he inquired, "Are you the one who Xem- I mean the superior spoke of….who is supposed to show me around?" he asked.
Axel rolled his eyes, "Boy you ask too many questions" he sneered and tossed Roxas a fold pile of black attire, "You need to change into your Organization uniform, I'll turn my back so you may have your privacy" he explained as he got up form the chair he was sitting in and turned his back to Roxas.
Roxas rolled his eyes in response, 'I'm not sure how much longer he would be able to put up with this guy,' he thought as he began to dress in the clothes given to him. Sadly though now he and no choice but to put up with Axel, but maybe with time they would warm up to each other and become friends.
After he had finished changing into the familiar black robes this Organization apparently wore, he turned back towards Axel and gave a small smile, "So what's next?" he asked.
Axel gave a nod looking him over and gave a smirk of satisfaction, "Simply amazing Roxas, you pull off the Organization look well. Now I guess what's next is I bring you to Xemnas, and he should take it from there." He explained.
Roxas gave a small nod and a small groan; he was tired again even though now it felt as though he was empty inside. He then brought a hand to his chest and felt nothing except a slight ache. Now a sick feeling, headache, nausea had surfaced. Then in the next seconds he vomited, nearly falling to his knees, but was caught but a steady gloved hand.
Axel had caught him, stopping his fall in the nick of time, "Withdrawal I guess you could call it, your body is trying to cope with the fact that you have no heart, all nobodies go through it, sadly though that emptiness you feel will remain for the rest of your non-existent life." He explained sadly feeling Roxas's pain.
"Nobody?" he asked weakly using the support from Axel to his advantage to try and stand back up, "Sorry about the mess" Roxas apologized.
"Yes, a Nobody they are beings without hearts. See when a person with a strong, willed, heart succumbs to the darkness, or becomes a heartless, the empty shell of that being, becomes a nobodie. Or beings without hearts….and oh don't worry about the mess I'll get Demyx to clean it up later." He explained.
Axel gave a nod and took Roxas's hand, "You sure you can walk or do you want to rest a little more?" he asked in an unconcerned tone more a matter of fact tone.
Roxas gave a nod, "Yes….I'll….be okay" he said as he let out a sigh and looked back up at Axel, who gave a pleased smirk.
"Well that is good news so off we go to Xemnas or The Superior, which you must call him" Axel explained as he wrapped his hand around the babe's wrist and began to drag him in the direction of the Superior's quarters.
While they walked through and down the endless white halls, another cloaked man walked beside them giving a wave to Axel. Axel gave a sly smile and tapped the man on the shoulder, "Demyx in Number 13's room, well he had a little accident do you think you could be a wonderful friend and go clean up….you know how baby's are messy things" he said rolling his eyes.
The one named Demyx shuddered, "Axel you're the one who is supposed to be looking after him why do I-" sadly though he was cut off.
"Ahhh Demyx who is #8 and who is #9….I think that I'm the higher number here, besides everyone needs to make Roxas feel at home, you wouldn't want me to tell Xemnas" he taunted
Demyx gave a sigh, "Fine" he grumbled and headed in the direction of Roxas's room.
Axel had led him to a room which was large and circular, and in the middle was a circular pedestal that had the same x or heart shaped marking. All around this circular pedestal where chairs raising to different heights, and sitting upon each chair were black cloaked beings and all except two seats were occupied.
Axel led Roxas to the circular pedestal then disappeared in a black portal and appeared sitting in one of the chairs. Now all but one seat remained, and all eyes were on Roxas.
"Roxas" came the familiar voice of the one called Xemnas, "This is Number 13" he finished addressing the other members, all turning to look down upon the teenage boy, "The Key of Destiny….Xigbar" Xemnas ordered turning to look at the member sitting in the seat closest to him, "show our new member, how powerful we are will you?" he asked him in that creepy mono tone.
With a wave of his hand he gave a nod and disappeared in that oh so familiar black portal reappearing in front of Roxas, "So you're the one we have been hoping for, well Roxas show me what you got" Xigbar said as he pulled back his hood, revealing black and white streaked hair that was pulled back into a long ponytail. He had an eye patch across one eye and the other was a golden yellow. There was also a large scar arcoss his left cheek.
Roxas glared, "Well come on bring it" he said in a cocky tone, however after saying it he realized that he had no weapons. And freaked as he saw Xigbar summoning what looked like sniper guns with spiked diamonds jetting out the bottom of the guns.
Xigbar gave a chuckle, "Well we should put on the show for the rest of the Organization, hey maybe you'll get lucky and beat me, now that would be a sight wouldn't it" he responded.
And with that he fired one of his rifles. Emitting what looked to be a red laser beam, and hit right on, shooting Roxas right in the arm.
Roxas winced clutching the wound, with his left hand. It stung a little but luckily the leather cloak had absorbed most of the attack. Xigbar didn't stop there; he kept firing, hitting Roxas in various places, each shot knocking Roxas back by a few feet little by little. Then Roxas let out a yelp of pain as one of the shots shot him square in the face, right above the eye. The force and pain of the shot caused Roxas to fall to knees, his hand clutching the wound as he buried his face in his hands.
Sadly, though Roxas looked pretty pathetic, through the other members' eyes. Even Xemnas cast his doubts starting to doubt his hopes in Roxas expectations…maybe he was wrong about this nobody and the one he was waiting for was to come in the future and he would have to wait longer.
Axel even had a frown on his face, strange enough he wanted Roxas to win, he knew that if Roxas won, he would be accept. However losing was much worse and meant much more.
Xigbar was now advancing towards the fallen boy, "Well looks like you lost…Roxas" he taunted as he pointed his rifle to Roxas's head about to deliver the final blow.
Roxas gave a sigh to himself through the agonizing pain, he guessed this was the end. Though as he kneeled there, he truly didn't want it to be over...not yet anyway, there was so much more he wanted to learn. As he thought, he felt a strange burning power within himself that begged to be released. It was as if the will to go on had awoken some alien power with in him.
Now as Xigbar advanced towards saying his final taunt, the power from within the young nobody burst forth. Two weapons appeared in either of Roxas's hands and instinctively flung Xigbar's rifle to the side with one swing. Each weapon resembled some sort of key. The one in his right was mostly black and one in his left hand was mostly white.
Surprised at what these keys were and not knowing what they were and what they were capable of, was enough to make any nobody throw the power away. However judging by the attack that the keys had delivered he decided to use them and let the will to fight/live drive him on.
He ran at Xigbar slashing with the keys as they hit there target head on. Each blow knocking the sniper back as he had done so with Roxas. Knocking his last gun to the side Roxas ran in for the final blow, so that he may emerge victorious. Slamming his keys into Xigbar's torso, causing Roxas to recoil backwards a little from such a blow, this had sent Xigbar flying into one of the towering chairs.
Xigbar lay upon the floor stunned from the blow and the fact that he had lost. Since, it had been so obvious to him, that he could've won against the newbie. Though he shakily got up and walked over to Roxas, who still remained in a fighting stance, glaring down his opponent. Xigbar placed a hand on the new member's shoulder, "Welcome to the Organization" he stated as he started to begin clapping.
Soon the rest of the members started to clap for the winner. Some of the more enthusiastic members began to cheer and chant even.
He had been accepted. Roxas glanced up looking at each individual member seeing them clap, truly filled him with hope and the feeling of acceptance. His blue eyes then fell upon Axel's chair and frowned not seeing him.
"Congrats Roxas" came the, 'oh so' familiar voice of Axel from behind the boy.
Roxas turned around to see his caretaker behind him, just coming out of a black portal. Upon hearing his approval he gave a small smile, "Axel…" he said in a exhausted almost exasperated tone and before he knew was actually happening his keys fell from his hands. Hitting the floor they vanished into this air, back from where they came, then Roxas fell and the clapping came to an abrupt stop.
Think I shall end chapter two here. Chapter 3 might be short then, but I feel one chapter isn't enough to have sitting there. Please read and review hope you enjoyed it. And read more.
