Summary: Axel wants Roxas when he first sees him, and Roxas wants him too. What happens when Marluxia, Xemnas (partially), and Demyx gets thrown into the picture?
A/N: This is another chapter. Thank you sooo much to all of those who reviewed. I really appreciate it a lot. Sorry for any OOCness in this chapter. I think that Axel and Demyx act a like in a way. Also I would like to apologize for any grammar errors. I've been so busy and I just want to get these chapters out to you guys.

Chapter Three: Meeting with Marluxia, the Graceful Assassin:
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"He's good at playing that sitar of his".
Both Roxas and Demyx turned their attention to the voice behind them. The younger blonde smiled when he saw Axel standing at the edge of the pool with his arms crossed. He had a blank look on his face.
"Axel", Roxas began as his smile turned into a smirk. "Wanna join us?".
"No, I don't swim", the red head said as he waved his hands in front of him.
"Really?", the blonde said with an arched golden eyebrow.
"Yeah…", the red head said nervously as he took a few steps backwards.
He sensed that something was up when the keybladist swam to the edge of the pool towards him. The sitar player merely stood where he was with a goofy grin on his face. The red head still had on all of his clothes, unlike the two blondes, and he just didn't like water…at all. The younger blonde leaned on the pool edge and stared up at him with big blue eyes.
"What's wrong, Axel?", he asked.
"I just don't like the water. Can we go now?", the red head suddenly snapped, making the blonde frown.
He took no notice though because his green eyes were glued onto the water. Just the sight of it froze him to the bone and he remained still. He snapped out of his trance when the blonde keybladist stood in front of him with a worried look on his face.
"Go where?", he asked.
"Nah-uh…he's not going anywhere until he moons the Superior!", the older blonde suddenly cried as he hopped out of the pool and grabbed the teen's arm. "It'll be just plain rude if he didn't fulfill his part of the bargain".
The words made the younger blonde blush a cherry red and he wanted to disappear. He yanked his arm away from the older blonde and narrowed his eyes at him. He looked over at Axel who merely arched a red eyebrow in confusion.
"I'm leaving now!", Roxas cried as he walked off, or so the older males thought.
Demyx grinned and looked over at Axel as the red head shook his head, "You sure you don't want to get in the water, Axel?".
The two didn't notice that the younger blonde was circling behind the red head with his arms extended out like he was about to push something or someone. He bit his lip to hold back the laughter.
"He doesn't have a choice!", he cried as he charged forward blindly.
With his hands, he pushed both the red head and the older blonde over into the pool. It took much effort in his push but he did it and the both of them cried out in pure shock as they hit the water. Their limbs were tangled together as they went underneath.
The red head that was on top was falling faster than the blonde. He felt his skin sting with an unbearable pain and he let out another cry from his throat. The water in the pool entered his mouth instantly.
His green eyes widened in horror as he ripped one of his gloves off and saw that his skin was actually melting away. The older blonde saw this also and was mystified. He quickly wrapped his arms around the red head that was frozen in place and swam upwards.
They reached the top in less than two seconds and the blonde threw him onto the pool edge. The keybladist who was watching the whole time was utterly shocked at what happened. He got on his knees and tended to the red head that was coughing up water and groaning loudly.
His green eyes were unfocused now and he could barely see anything. Even the images of the two blondes were merely blurs to him now. He couldn't feel any inch of his body at all and it worried him a lot. His clothes were tattered and most of his body was uncovered, including his stomach, arms, chest, and upper legs. His naked skin could clearly be shown.
"Axel! Oh my god! I'm sorry", he heard the teen cry.
"We have to get him to Marluxia", he heard the sitar player say.
"No! Anyone but Marluxia…", he groaned.
"He can heal you, right?", the water-controller asked.
"Don't be stubborn. This is all my fault and I'm going to get you some help", the keybladist began, "no matter what…".
The words touched the red head. If he had a heart, that would be the place where all of his rising joy would go from hearing those words of comfort. He tried to move his arm and hissed when a greater pain enveloped that area rapidly.
"Ack!", he cried as he put the arm back down.
He started to see huge black spots in his vision and suddenly started to chuckle, "Whatever happens…don't send me to Marluxia…".
With that, the red-haired man's head turned to the side as he exhaled sharply. The older blonde instantly picked him up in his arms, almost feeling worried for his fellow member of the Organization. He looked back at the keybladist who was frowning and staring at the ground.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Marluxia stayed in his garden. He tended to the great variety of plants inside of the huge room. Larxene was there with them, watching him as he silently did he job. She felt like he wasn't himself today.
"What's the matter a plant died?", she asked him.
"No…", the mahogany-haired man answered bluntly.
"You're silent…too silent…and you're going to tell me what's wrong, flower boy", the blonde woman commanded.
"It seems you have forgotten who is in charge here", he hissed.
He didn't know why he was in a bitchy mood. A good reason could be that there was a huge hole in the floor in his room and Axel was the one that did it. Another reason could be that the red head was fantasizing about the new kid in the Organization. It made him sick to his stomach and he had to know who this kid was and what he was like.
He felt a hand on his shoulder and broke out of his trance. He looked over his shoulder to stare into the blonde female's icy blue eyes. It shocked him utterly to see just a temporary wave of concern in them.
"How long have we known each other, Larxene?", he whispered breathily as he continued to stare into her eyes.
"A very…very…long time. If we hadn't, there was no way I would join you", the blonde answered with a sly smirk as she trailed her hand down to the front of his chest.
He arched a perfectly raised mahogany-colored eyebrow. Her smirk grew broader as she grabbed the zipper of his pants. He never stopped her as she slowly pulled down the zipper. He could feel her breath tickle his ear. Most of her weight was pressed against him and he could tell that she was standing on the tips of her toes. This made him smirk.
He suddenly felt something kick him in his rear and fell on all fours. A growl ripped from his throat and his head snapped around to narrow his midnight blue orbs at the blonde who wrapped her arms around his waist. He could feel her pulling his pants from his hips.
"You need to realize who the leader here is", he hissed and simultaneously flipped over, sitting down onto the porcelain tile floor.
Before she could respond, he grabbed her by her hips and tugged her into his lap. She fell over and collided with his chest. He switched their positions so that he was pinning her to the floor on her back.
Thoughts began swirling inside of his mind as he saw the blonde just lying there. Did he want Axel or Larxene? He could feel her biting his ear. Right now, he didn't know what he wanted. Hmph…the leader of Castle Oblivion doesn't even know what he wants? Isn't that a first?
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the sound of a gushing wind nearby. He got up from the floor and turned his attention to the dark portal behind him. He stared at it warily and heard the blonde snort.
"Just leave me…", she said in a sarcastic way.
He didn't need to hear her or see her to know that she was pissed. He continued to watch the portal as two hooded figures in black stepped out of them. He sighed in relief and rested his shoulders.
That was until he saw a third party member who was in the arms of the taller hooded person. He arched a mahogany-glazed eyebrow and approached the two. His gaze switched from the shorter hooded figure that had his head hanging low as if he were in grief to the seemingly wounded person in the taller person's arms. When he saw that familiar shock of red hair, his dark blue eyes held a light wave of shock in them.
"Marluxia, I know what you're thinking but we didn't hurt him. It was an accident. We didn't-", the taller hooded figure began before the gardener cut them off.
"You took him into the pool, didn't you, Demyx?", the gardener growled as he stared at the unconscious red head.
Larxene, who was still sitting on the floor, gasped at the sight before her. She stood up and dusted herself off as she strolled over to them. She stared at tattered form of Axel's body and smirked.
"Damn…which one of you did it?", she asked the two hooded figures in a tone that held no anger in it.
"Ahem…", the shorter one cleared his throat to get their attention.
He slowly pulled off his hood and turned his hurt sapphire orbs to look up at the older man. The look alone grabbed the mahogany-haired man's complete attention. Was this the new blond-haired boy in the Organization?
"Excuse me, sir, but it was my entire fault. It was stupid of me to do that but we need your help to heal him", the blonde said to Marluxia and completely ignored the blonde woman.
"What is your name, boy?", the leader asked.
"Roxas…", the blonde answered.
"Sorry to break this up but I think he's not breathing", the other hooded figure said as he pulled his hood up, revealing very wild blonde hair.
"And we care because?", the blonde woman said.
"Because if the Superior finds out, he'll automatically assume we did it", the mahogany-haired man hissed.
"He was a good partner…", the blonde woman muttered as she patted the red head's chest before she left the garden.
The leader of Castle Oblivion sighed and picked the red head out of the older blonde's arms. He turned around and started to walk away until he abruptly stopped after taking one step. He looked over his shoulder and his midnight blue eyes fell directly on the younger blonde.
"Come with me, Roxas", he muttered.
"What? Why?", the keybladist gasped.
"Because I, a higher up, ordered you to", the older man replied as he started to walk away.
The keybladist looked over at the sitar player who was scratching the back of his head. Their eyes met and the older blonde arched a golden eyebrow. He created a portal behind him and reached his hand out to the younger blonde.
"Come on, Roxas. You still have a debt to pay", he said.
"But what about Marluxia?", the youth asked.
"Even though he's stronger, I'm higher in the rankings than him. Hurry before he comes back!", the water-controller cried as he grabbed the teen's hand.
They entered the portal together, leaving behind a very enraged Marluxia who had just noticed that the keybladist wasn't coming. His eyes narrowed to slits as he watched the portal disappear into thin air. He shifted his gaze to the unconscious red head in his arms.
"You will pay for your lover's insolent actions, Axel", he hissed as he left the garden.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Xemnas stood with his arms out and in the air. They were spread as they were trying to touch the black sky. In front of him was a big heart that actually looked small in the huge sky. It glowed with a pink, golden, and black light, giving it a seemingly evil look.
He sighed and placed a single hand over the area where his heart should be. His golden eyes closed as if he were meditating. If anyone was looking at this scene, they would've thought he was sad. He opened his eyes again to look at the slowly growing project he was creating. He lifted his arms up again also.
"Kingdom Hearts…", he muttered in a pleading way. "Give me more time. I have acquired a new member and I shall use him to give you more hearts".
He, of course, got no response from the glowing object in the sky. He turned around and stared at the ground.
"Saix, you know better than to come here while I am consulting with Kingdom Hearts", he said suddenly.
"Hm…my apologies…has the new boy arrived yet?".
"You're ridiculously late", he said as he looked up.
In his vision, there was a man with medium-length light blue hair and fierce eyes standing a few meters away from him right by the set of stairs that lead to the lower levels of the caste. It wasn't the fierceness in his eyes that attracted him. It was the X-shaped scar in the middle of them. The scar crinkled when his eyebrow knitted together and he crossed his arms.
"No one was informed…", he said as he turned his gaze to the glowing heart behind the silver-haired man. "Is it almost finished?".
The silver-haired man sighed and approached the impatient blue-haired man. Once he stood merely inches away, he placed a gloved hand on the younger Nobody's shoulder. He watched as the claymore wielder switched his gaze to the ground.
"You don't have to worry, beautiful one. I already assured you that I would give you your heart and mine. Maybe then we feel for each other…", the silver-haired man said, forcing himself to sound loving, as he stared into the blank eyes of the other Nobody.
"I kill as many people as possible to obtain the hearts but then again…isn't that the new boy's job?", the blue-haired man said as he stepped towards the glowing heart before looking over his shoulder at the older man behind him.
"You dare to ridicule me?", was the very calm response the older man gave.
"Of course no-", was the only thing the blue-haired man could get out before he felt arms wrap around him from behind.
His eyes blinked several times when he saw that the silver-haired man wasn't there anymore. He felt breath tickle the back of his neck and it made the hairs on it stand up. He almost melted into the heated embrace they were sharing and he placed his hands on the arms that were constricted around him. He felt fingers combing through his hair before they wrapped around a thick lock of blue hair and tugged backward.
"Shall we do this here or in your room?", the silver-haired man asked.
"Once I get my heart, I'm sure I'll learn to feel for you…", the blue-haired man sighed.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Demyx and Roxas found themselves in the younger blonde's room. The keybladist slowly walked to his bed and sat down on it. His gaze was glued onto the floor. The sitar player stared at the youth in an almost pitiful fashion. He sighed and sat beside him on the bed.
He actually hated to see him like this…
"Oh, man...I sure am the wrong guy to do this but…uh…cheer up…please?", he said in a pleading way and made his voice go up an octave.
"I've done enough…", the keybladist began.
"Huh?", the older blonde said.
"I'm going to get my answers…", the teen said as he stood onto his feet.
"Rox-", the water-controller cut himself off as soon as the youth reached the door to his room.
He twisted the knob and left out of the room without a word. Today turned out to be awful just because of one little accident. He sighed sadly and stared up at the ceiling. He felt that the teen would always this way.
Maybe if Axel gets better, he would go back to normal…?
He was going to follow him and see where he was going. With that thought implanted in his head, the older blonde left the keybladist's room, knowing that the youth wasn't that far away.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Marluxia laid Axel on his bed roughly. He was pissed and his nostrils were twitching because of it. He went to the nearest cabinet and opened the door there. His eyes were glued onto the unconscious red head on the bed as he pulled out a tiny bottle that contained a clear liquid in it.
He went back to the red head and unscrewed the top of the bottle. He discarded the top and dug in his pocket only to pull out a small seemingly normal green leaf. He crunched it up with his hand and dropped the shattered contents inside of the bottle.
He lifted it up as he shook it around a little and he watched as the clear liquid started to glow a light green color. He sighed with frustration as he pinched the red head's chin in between his index finger and his thumb and yanked him closer to him in one quick movement.
He tried to pry the smaller man's jaw open with that one hand but it remained unmoving after a few seconds. He growled and leaned down to press his lips against the unconscious Nobody.
He heard the green-eyed man groan softly in his sleep and bit his lip so he could gain access to his mouth. Fortunately for him, it worked and the red head's mouth was opened very slightly. He used that to his advantage and poured the whole bottle down his throat without giving him a chance to swallow.
The red head choked and sat up. His cat-like green eyes snapped opened as he clutched his throat. His eyes closed again so that he could focus on swallowing. Once the yucky-tasting liquid was down, he opened his eyes again and they angrily fell on the mahogany-haired man who frowned at him.
"Damnit, I told them not to bring me here", the red head growled.
"Why so your little lover wouldn't have to meet me?", the blue-eyed man said as he remained where he was. "Too late…he already has and he's even defied my orders".
"What orders…?", the red head asked as he lay back down.
He was starting to feel very cold and his body shivered. He was still soaked with the water from the pool and it tortured him oh so much. He bit his lips to stop any noises of pain from coming out. The water was like acid to his skin and he could feel it slowly, slowly eating away at his skin.
Marluxia noticed this and striped Axel, much to his displeasure, of his tattered clothing. The red head struggled but the mahogany-haired man pinned him down with one hand. Once the last bit of clothing was gone, the red head was completely revealed and vulnerable to the more muscular man.
"What orders, Marluxia?", the red head asked again.
"I ordered him to follow me so he could see you when you woke up but I guess he doesn't love you after all since he left with that king of fools", the gardener said.
The red head couldn't believe his ears. Roxas wanted to be with Demyx more than him? Well, he couldn't blame him. After all, he was the one who he spent most of his time with today. Removing the hurt look from his green eyes, he connected them to the sea of midnight blue that was the mahogany-haired man's eyes.
"I'm not staying here…", he said.
"You can't even move. I'll bring you this…Roxas-boy who you are so excited to meet", the gardener said with a sly smirk as he got up from the bed.
"No, don't go anywhere near him, Marluxia", the red head hissed, making the blue-eyed man leaned down to face him again.
Their lips were uncomfortably close but the gardener didn't care.
"I said I was going to bring him to you and that's what I'm going to do", the mahogany-haired man said before he kissed the red head's lips temporarily. "Now sleep!".
Simultaneously as he commanded that, he viciously slapped the red head across the face, successfully knocking him back into a sleeping state. He smirked at his accomplishment and created a portal for him to go back to The World That Never Was.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Roxas found himself in the room of portals again. He knew that Demyx wasn't that far behind him. His sapphire blue eyes rapidly scanned the whole area until they stopped on a small portal with the number one on it. He ran towards it, leaving the older blonde behind again.
"Wait, Roxas!", he cried as he ran into the portal after him.
The two blondes ended up in the front of a very huge door that said number one on it. It was covered in various designs of hearts and that symbol on the white tower the keybladist saw when he first got there. The keybladist pressed the palms of his hand onto the door and pushed forward, making the door creak as it opened.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Xemnas heard the door to his room opened and cursed. Out of all the insolent things his followers could do, this just had to be one of them. He was in the shower, cleansing himself of Saix's scent like he always did.
He got out and wrapped the towel around his very red and naked waist. He growled as he stepped out to the bedroom part of his entire space of the castle and saw no one else but Roxas looking around in awe at the sight of his room.
"You dare come into my room without knocking?", the silver-haired man asked, grabbing the blonde's attention.
The blonde youth narrowed his eyes as he approached him, pointing an accusing finger at him. He heard the door open again and saw Demyx come through shyly. The sitar player gasped when he saw the youth walking towards the Superior in such a forward way.
"Xemnas, I need answer!", the keybladist yelled.
Suddenly, the boy tripped over his own foot and landed rather harshly on his chin. His pant leg got caught on his foot as it jerked backward and it ended up pulling his loose pants over his posterior.
His arms were on either side of him and his knees were pressed against his chest. He started to blush a cherry red when he felt the cold air hit his naked skin. He looked up and saw the silver-haired man's dark golden eyes widened.
Demyx's jaw dropped the floor at the sight before him. He froze and was unable to move. The younger blonde got up to his knees and pulled is pants over his exposed rear end and ran out of the room before anyone could say anything.
He dashed down the hall with closed eyes, rendering him unaware of the portal that had just appeared in front of him. He ran into a firm chest and inhaled sharply. His sapphire blue eyes snapped opened and slowly looked up to meet a pair of familiar and sinister midnight blue eyes. He froze and watched as the person he ran into smirked.
"Hello, Roxas…".

A/N: Well, another chapter for you guys. Sorry for the wait. I've just got Dirge of Cerberus (Vincent Valentine's, from FF7, new game) and I am sooo LOVING IT does a little victory dance. I'm so happy this game is out since I love Vincent! This chapter would have been out a long time ago if I wasn't playing the game. Anyway, please review and I'm also sorry about the cliffhanger. Gotta go…
