Ok new chapter for you guys. Hope you enjoy and review if you want. I do not own Kingdom Hearts. It belongs to Square Enix.
Axel's POV
I was sleeping fine having a dream until my alarm woke me up. After turning the thing off, I got up and put on my organization coat then made a loud yawn. For some reason, Xemnas wanted to have an immediate meeting so I was forced to get up early. After fixing my spiked, red hair, I opened a Corridor of Darkness that led to Where Nothing Gathers and walked through. (A/N: For those who don't know, that's the place, with the thrones, where they have all the meetings)
Once I was in my seat I looked around and saw that so far, everyone but Xemnas and Zexion were here. Since Saix knew what Xemnas usually plans, I decided to ask him what the meeting was for. "Hey Saix, buddy, why is the superior making us have this meeting?" Saix had kept his calm face while responding. "I actually do not know, he just told me to notify everyone that there was a meeting today." I was surprised at his response since Saix is sort of like his.
"I know what this meeting is about." Both me and Saix turned our heads to Demyx and Saix was the first to question his statement. "Do you really know Number IX?" He just grinned as he leaned back on his throne. "Yep, its actually related to the mission that you sent Zexion and me to."
I leaned forward on my chair and was the next to ask a question. "Weren't you two just walking around this world doing intel?" "Actually we were looking for someone that the dusks found. Therefore, me and Zexy walked around and found her, and MAN, is she a cutie. So superior did the whole name thing and gave her the coat and that's pretty much it. Girl's new name is Xaria now. I think it suits her a bit." Once I heard the name, Xaria, I tried to jumble all the letters expect for X and came up with her name. 'There's no way it could have been her. It couldn't. We made sure that Aira escaped that time.'
After awhile, Xemnas appeared in his throne. "Everyone, I would like to announce that have a new member joining us. Although she is suppose is the 10th person to join, I've decided to have her share the seat of Number IX." Demyx sat up straight after hearing this. "Wait a minute, why my seat? Why not someone like, like, Vexen? He has one of the lowest seats here!" What Demyx said was true, Vexen went on very little missions and just stayed in his lab like the mad scientist he is.
"I chose your seat because I've seen the reports on your performance the past few days and wanted to have a substitute for you in case anything happened." Me and Xigbar silently laughed at Xemnas's response to Demyx's question. Demyx though just brought his head down, in an act of depression. Xemnas then continued his speech. "Now may I present our newest member, Xaria the Angelic Siren."
At the floor, Zexion and a hooded girl wearing our coat walked in to the center of the room. She quickly looked around the room before removing her hood and showing her face to everyone. As she pulled down her hood, I recognized her but I couldn't believe it. The new member really was me and Saix's old friend. I looked at Saix and saw that his eyes were wide open as he looked at his old girlfriend. 'Man, did things get awkward for the both of us. Hope nothing else happens.'
Right after Xaria took her hood off, Xemnas made this situation worse for us. "Now, since she looks like she has very little battle experience, Axel, I'm having you train her. Bring her to Twilight Town to fight heartless there. You are all now dismissed." Just as I was about to warp from my throne, Xaria looked up at me seemed shocked. Before she could do anything, Zexion grabbed her arm and lead her to a portal.
'Ok, things did get worse, for me that is. Man this was going to be an interesting day.'
Xaria's POV
After the meeting ended, Zexion gave me a tour of the Castle That Never Was. We had just walked into what Zexion called the Grey room when I spotted the red-haired person from before talking to another person with long, blue hair and a calm expression. At first, I denied that it could have been Lea and Isa until I noticed the X-shaped scar on the stoic man's face. "Lea? Isa? Is that really you guys?" Both men turned in response as I gasped, recognizing both of them.
The flame head spoke with his eyes seeming to pop out. "Aira is that you?" I nodded my head quickly as ran to the two and tried to hug the both of them, making both fall. "I can't believe it! After two years, I finally found you guys." I let go of the guys and stood up.
Lea got up and helped Isa stand up too. "Yep, but now I'm called Axel now and Isa is known as Saix. Got it memorized? And calm down everyone is watching."
I turned around to see that all the other members were staring at us. "Uhh, hi everyone." I just waved my hand trying to act normal until everyone turned back to what they were doing. I sighed in relief but still felt kind of weird causing a scene. Axel came up and put his hand behind my shoulder. "Hey don't let them get you down. They're probably still not use to the fact a girl joined. Come on let's get on with your training."
Axel opened a Corridor of Darkness and pushed me towards it. Before I walked in, I noticed Saix had a barely visible grin on his face. 'I'm glad I've found them. Now all I need to do is to get back our hearts.'
3rd POV
In the middle of Station Square, in Twilight Town, a black portal appeared and Xaria and Axel came out of it. As the portal closed, Xaria walked around, looking at the sunset sky, the many trains that were seen below, and all the small shops on Market Street that could be seen from there. "Wow this place is like Radiant Garden and Traverse Town meshed together. It's so beautiful." Axel saw Xaria just starring at the sky and walked behind her to mess her hair. "Come on now, we're here to train first. You can sight see later." Xaria fixed her hair while turning to Axel. "Alright, alright, man you never change do you?" "I try not to."
Axel then stood up straight preparing to start the training. "Ok, first step is to summon your weapon." Axel summoned his chakrams and began to spin them around. Xaria though, had no idea what to do. "I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing." Axel understood her confusion and helped her out. "Just think about something wanting to summon your weapon. It'll be easy to do." Xaria just nodded her head as she brought her hand out and concentrated. A sudden flash a light appeared and Axel shielded his eyes.
Once the light disappeared, Axel saw in Xaria's arms, a sky blue keytar. The system was simplistic and only had a few buttons, mainly for sounds and pitch. At the end of the neck, the arrow part of the Organization XIII symbol stuck out multiple times making the end look like a feathered wing. On the body was a small speaker shaped like the organization symbol. She just starred at her weapon in amazement, but at the same time, confusion.
"Ok, how am I supposed to use this to fight? I mean I've played a keytar before, but how am I supposed to fight with this? Whack the heartless using this as a golf club?" Axel just laughed at her comment. "Haha, I doubt it but try playing it. Who knows, you could control the music you play." Xaria nodded and began to play a calm melody.
As she played, music notes of different colors began to come out of the speaker and float around her. Xaria noticed this and stopped playing. She moved her hand up, causing all the notes to follow in the same direction. She decided to have fun with making the music move around Axel.
After putting his chakrams away and watching, the music notes float around him for a bit, he lightly touched one of the notes. Right as his finger came in contact in with the note, the little thing made a tiny explosion. All the other notes followed to create a firework-like explosion. Axel and Xaria managed to dodge the explosion, and stood shocked at what her powers we're capable of.
Once the smoke from the explosion settled down, shadow heartless began to appear. Axel smirked as he pushed Xaria toward the heartless. "Perfect timing. Since we know what you can do, let's try it out by taking out these guys." Xaria nodded her head as she began to bring out more notes. She made them crash into the heartless causing a chain of explosions. Once the smoke cleared, the heartless were gone.
After putting away her keytar, she turned to Axel with a somewhat annoyed expression. "Hey why did you have to push me? I could've just got them from where I was standing before." Axel just laughed, putting his hands behind his head. "Relax; I was only seeing how you'd react. Come on, I wanna bring you somewhere." Axel opened a corridor and walked through, while Xaria followed.
The two members ended up at the top of the clock tower. Once Xaria saw the view from there, she stood there in amazement. Knowing she'd probably want to enjoy the view Axel smiled. "You can stay here for awhile. I'm going to get some things so enjoy the view." He then opened another portal and went in before it closed. After watching Axel leave, she sat down and looked at the endless sunset.
Xaria's POV
It had been a few minutes since Axel left and I was enjoying the view. This world's sun was always in the same place, giving the sky it's twilight appearance. I was sitting on the ledge of the clock tower, looking at the continuous sunset and the trains traveling on the railways below.
As I was leaning back, I noticed a gleam of light coming from my neck. I doubted that the silver pull-strings and zipper on my coat were the cause of the shine. So I reached into my coat and pulled out the locket around my neck. I brought my knees to my chest as I took of the necklace. I placed my hands on the top of my knees and held to locket in my hands. Remembering the message that was inside the locket, I smiled. 'I have to get my heart back now, knowing that Lea and Isa will get theirs back too.'
After putting back on my necklace, I could hear footsteps and saw Axel come around the corner. "Hey I'm back, and look who I brought." Saix came around the corner keeping a stoic expression on his face and sat down next to me. "It's been a long time hasn't it Aira. Or should I say Xaria." I smiled and quickly hugged him. "I've missed you so much." I felt Saix's hand come up until Axel stopped us. "Hey there lovebirds, calm down. I know you want to talk to us Xaria but lets do it over ice cream." Axel brought out three sea-salt ice cream bars. I let go of Saix and took one of the bars while Saix took the other. I took a bite into mine and felt a surge of saltiness of the sea-salt, then the sweetness of the ice cream.
We talked about things that had happened over the years, what the members of Organization XIII were like, and how we came to be nobodies. Apparently, after I escaped to the evacuation ships, a giant, fat heartless appeared and took Lea and Isa's hearts. After I finished my ice cream, I started to get sleepy and leaned on Saix's shoulder. Just before dozing off, I heard Axel speak. "See, aren't you glad that you came along with me. First day of seeing your girlfriend after two years, and she's already cuddling with you." I silently giggled at his comment and went to sleep.
The next thing I knew, I was laying on a bed with the blanket on me. I looked around and saw that it was the bedroom that Zexion said was going to be mine. When I looked at the alarm clock on the counter, I noticed a folded piece of paper with the Organization XIII symbol on it. I opened up the paper and read the message inside.
"Glad to have you here Xaria. You fell asleep on us and Saix had to carry you all the way back. I took a picture of you two on the way back. I am SO going to show this to everybody else tomorrow. Good luck with the embarrassment.
Got it memorized? -Axel
After reading it, a picture came out and landed on my lap. I picked it up and felt my face go red. The picture showed Saix carrying me on his back as I slept with a happy look on my face. I remembered how Isa got embarrassed from doing things like this in public and I just giggled at the thought of him tomorrow. 'Hopefully he won't kill him tomorrow.'
I put the picture away and, seeing how late it was, went back to bed. As I was lying in my bed, letting sleep take me again, I looked out my window thinking about how one of my goals was accomplished. 'Don't worry guys, I'll work hard and make sure our hearts are restored. Then everything will be like old times.'
Sleep overtook me and I closed my eyes, preparing for the embarrassment that would come tomorrow.
