My Friend My Foe

Chapter IX - Partners, who can't get along?

The Superior and the kid snapped their heads toward me. The kid confused while Xemnas raised an eyebrow.

"Axel, you haven't even trained him yet and you want him as your official partner?"

"Absolutely, Superior!"

"This is unlike you. What if he is out of your league?" I chuckled at that. There was no way in oblivion that this kid was out of my league. I might be the most loyal assassin known in the organization but I was still a cocky son of a bitch, who had wants and needs.

And I wanted him, all the way.

"I understand that he many need some training, Superior, but I want him as my official partner all the same." Xemnas was about to say something but Mr. Short and Mine decided to speak.

"Excuse me, but what the fuck are you two talking about?" I just smirked, this little brat was like me, smart mouth type. I love this kid!

"Ah, Roxas, forgive us. We were just talking about your future here. It seems this will be your partner Ax-"

"I don't need a goddamn partner!" He stated quite clearly as he glared at Superior then at me, then back to Superior.

"I joined the Organization for one purpose only, I don't need some pussy stuck up redhead in my way. I'll do the training sessions, obey you, but other than that I'll only be focusing on my goal. So show me what the fuck I need to do to become a full member then take me to my room!"

As the blonde finished, I couldn't decide if I either wanted to clap or run for the hills. This is just Great! The moment I get a partner, he ruins it by getting killed for his big mouth.

Superior finally looked over at me and gave a genuine smile.

"Well you heard him, Axel. Show him what he must do and then to his room." I chuckled as Superior had that, oh yes, that look in his eyes. I love that look. I did my bow before snatching at the kids wrist, pulling him from the chair.

He glared at me and tried to pull away, like anyone normally would, but as if I was going to let go.

'Not a chance, cutie.'

"And Axel, make sure it's enjoyable." I laughed once more, giving Superior a small nod. I then shoved Roxas out into the hallway, closing the door behind me. I grabbed his arm this time before I started to pull him down the hall.

"Let go! You're hurting me." He tried to squirm outta of my grip and I rolled my eyes, stupid kid. I then made it to the room and shoved him into the room, the one with the weird machine. As I locked the door he spun on me and growled loudly.

He ran straight for me throwing a punch right at my face. I grabbed his hand just in time, though, then twisted it behind him. He hollered out in pain but I smirked as my hand went for his shirt.

Ripping it off, he screamed but I had him up against the wall, he wasn't going anywhere. I then pulled him away and slammed him against the bed, sitting on his back. He started to cry. Oh poor thing, thinking that I was going to…well you know.

Believe me I really really really really wanted to do that but now is not the time. He struggled like mad and tried to push me off but I got a hold of his other hand pinning it. I restrained them with thick leather straps only shaking my head as he screamed some more.

He whimpered as his tears soaked the sheets, I let go as the binds were secure and he slowly looked over his shoulder, right at me.

"P-Please…don't…." His eyes. His sad filled eyes. Man, I wanted to beat myself up because of those eyes. I sighed then slowly smiled. I reached out my hand and he whimpered as I placed it upon his reddish cheek.

"I'll be gentle…"

I couldn't help but internally laugh as his eyes grew to saucers and he instantly paled. I reached over and inked the needle, but I slipped off him so I could look for some nullifying wipes. I didn't have to look at him as I could tell he had confusion written of his face.

I finally found some wipes and I set down the needle before running the cold cloth over his shoulder. I then turned to the machine and turned it on, the needle now giving a low hum and vibrating slightly.

"Wha…a…"

"Your mark." I replied as I leaned over his shoulder and began. He screamed and cursed out at first but just before I was done he just resorted to hissing loudly. I finished, putting the needle down and started to undo his binds.

But paused.

I small smirked as I then crawled back on him, straddling his hips.

"Ge-Get off of me…" He whimpered yet I just chuckled.

"Why should I? Your body is numb from the pain and shock, I think I can play a little." The smirk grew as I heard him let out a shaky breath and a gasps. I ran my hands along his back, it was so smooth, like it was carved by angles. I was making sure to avoid his tattooed shoulder so I just leaned to his left one.

He whimpered as I let my lips brush against the skin. This was ten times better than killing. I pressed the low of my waist onto his and smirked a little wider.

"NO….stop…."

"Why? Nobody is going to need this room for a couple of months. I can treat you nice." I whispered into his ear and he tried to move away as I licked along it's shell.

"I'm not gay."

"And? Your point?" I began to slowly slid my hand down his waist. He let out a choked sob and shook his head frantically.

"It's something that can easily be changed." He then screamed as my hand went too low and he began to thrash about.

"GET OFF!" He must have moved his knee, or leg a little to fast cause I was thrown from his back and he ripped his hands from the straps.

'How did he…' I didn't have time to think about that as he leapt from the bed and straight at me, blue fire in his pools of color.

Oh, so this was the attitude Dem was talking about.

He threw his body against mine sending me backwards and he pinned me to the floor, I just chuckled.

"Oh so you wanna top?" He roared then removing his hand from mine to try and punch me. I grabbed his wrist and changed our angels.

"Or I can top, whatever's good with you?" I gave him a big toothy grin but he kneed me where knees aren't suppose to go. I hollered out, falling onto my side and curling into a ball. The little brat then had the nerve to rise to his feet and kicked me right in the stomach.

He tried to do it again but I grabbed his ankle and twisted it. He screamed yet I swept my foot out, sending him onto the ground. I, still holding his swollen ankle, rose to my feet and held my boot against his chest. Not roughly but just to make sure he didn't get up.

"Let go!" He yelled as he tried to remove my foot. I think I kinda froze then. He just reminded me so much of myself. I shuddered at the thought of those times. I had grown so much from them and didn't want to look back.

So I then rose my foot and moved away.

"Get up." He jumped up the best he could and growled before attempting a spin kicked, aimed for my face. I grabbed the foot, twisted it, before kicking him back to the ground.

"I said get up. Not kick me, got it memorized?" I winked to him with a smirk with my arms laid against my chest. He growled and glared at me.

"Your cute when you're angry, kid." I chuckled yet of course he just growled again.

"I'm NOT a kid! I'm eighteen, you son of a bitch." He spat with a sneer mixed in it.

OHMYFINGGWAD YES! He's eighteen! Now I'm not doing anything illegal, yet I was going to love him whether he was legal or not. I would gladly get in trouble with the authorities if I could get a little closer to small, blond and cute.

I then smirked, all big and toothy.

"Oh? Well I'm twenty one, now that that's out of the way, how about a proper greeting. My names Axel, got it memorized?" He stared at me as I offered my hand out to him. He got to his feet on his own and glared.

He then staggered over to the door and walked out but not without muttering a single word. "Roxas."

Weeks had passed but Rox hadn't spoken one word to me and that is if I ever saw him. Which was rare in itself. He like disappear and no matter where I look I can't find him. What the hell? Is he ignoring me?

What'd I do?

Once again I was looking for him, just randomly in the halls cause I thought he might be wandering around. I sighed as I only saw Zexion. Man, I had to find him.

"Oh…Axel?" I then turned, Zex was looking right at me.

"Huh?"

"If you're looking for Number Thirteen, he's in the library."

"Awesome! Thanks!" I immediately turned and ran for the said room. I didn't care that Zexion read my mind, he just gave me an answer that's all that matters. I groaned slightly as I finally made it to the library, I could see him and all, but he was all the way in the case and mission section.

Which is all the way in the back, what the hell is he doing there? Okay Axel, just calm down, you gotta make it up to the kid. Get a good clean start. Take him out to dinner and make him your by midnight. Perfect.

I walked into the section but my eyes went fully wide.

"What the fuck happened here?" I said out loud as I got a look around. Seriously did a tornado come through here?

"What the hell are you doing here?" I looked up and there he was, Mr. Sexy and Uber Cute. He was standing somewhat away from me, near a bookshelf just bringing a rather thick book to his chest. I smiled before leaning against the bookshelf, gazing at him.

"I was looking for my cutiepie. I've been oh so worried about you." I inched a little closer to him as my voice slipped through my lips, my eyes never leaving his until

WHAM!!!!

That was all I heard along with the cracking of a jaw and a surge of agony, oh so it was my jaw. I held onto my chin and looked at him before busting.

"What THE FUCK was that for!?"

"You! Back up and stay the hell out of my ten feet personal space bubble!" He stated as he held the book tightly, ready to hit again. I, already healed from the first hit, skipped forward, wrapping my arms around him with a big old smile and held him to make sure he couldn't hit.

"Wha-Let go!"

"No. Why are you so mean to me? I'm trying to treat you nice and right but all you do is push me away." I pouted as I looked down into his eyes. He at least dropped the book, thank gawd. He growled, though.

I yelped out as his foot basically smashed mine, he then pushed me back and picked up the book again.

"I have no desire of being treated nice especially by a whore like you. Now get the hell out and leave me alone. I got a bastard to find." He pushed past me, sending me into the bookshelf, and sat down. I growled a little.

'Damn, I really got to stop letting my guard down around this kid, I should have blocked both of those.' I then limped over to his chair, placing my arms on his shoulders.

"You really don't know how to ta- " He paused and tensed as I placed a small kiss upon his cheek. I smiled as I pulled away and lightly did small circles on his shoulders.

"Why don't you give me a chance? Here why don't you take a break and I'll show you around the town?" I let a small smirk form over my smile.

'Come on, work with Axey.'

"N-No. I don't want to have anything to do with you or that town outside. I hate it. Just let me be and leave me alone." He sneered before shooting up from the chair. I thought I was going to get hit again so I readied myself but he just stormed out.

'Damn it, I swore I had him.' I looked down at the mess and sighed. I'm not cleaning that up. Something did catch my eye though and it was the book, the one he was reading. It was a record book of the past cases and stuff. The page it was on was about the Markel case.

I had given Superior a full out report, when I turned eleven, about that case. I still remembered everything about it. I closed the book and sighed. But why was Roxas looking at that?

That is it. I gotta get some info on this kid. If I don't I'm going to go crazy on trying to figure him out. I need info, NOW! I made my way to the place I had in mind and my fist slammed against the door.

Dem slowly opened the door and I barged my way in. He looked at me as if he was going to die as he closed the door.

"Number VIII…"

"What the hell is up with your cousin?" I spat out and glared at him. I was not happy now and no longer in the mood. He whimpered and looked away.

"I-I do-don't kno-know…AHH!" He yelped as I took his shirt collar and ramped him up against the wall.

"Do NOT play with me right now XI! What is the deal with Roxas?" I yelled as I glared darkly into his innocent eyes. He whimpered again, somewhat crying.

"S-Stop! I can't tell you, okay? I can't!" I growled and tightened my grip. Then a knock sounded at the door and I was about to say something until….

"D-Dem, can I come in?" Someone is being really nice to me today. I looked over at the door and couldn't believe it. What luck! I then glared back at Dem and pulled him closer.

"You say one word that even hints off that I'm here and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. I'll make sure of it." I whispered then ran to the other end of the room and hid under the bed. Dem sighed, slightly whimpering, as he looked at the bed for a while.

"Dem, you in there?" The Nocturn quickly opened the door and put on a friendly smile.

"Rox? Hey, come on in." The smaller blonde entered slowly before plopping down on the bed.

"So what's on your mind?"

"Nothing. I-I just need to get away from out there." Rox replied as he laid out fully on the bed, hiding his face in the pillows. Dem sat down in his computer chair, looking concerned.

"Why? Isn't everyone being nice?"

"Yeah, one's being too nice in my opinion and won't leave me the f--- alone. I just wished he would back off. He'd never understand me." Rox sighed yet I smally smirked.

'Well now I get to.'

"Well why don't you give him a chance? He might be able to help you."

"Yeah right. That cocky bastard would never care about anything other than sex. All he wants is to get in my pants. He doesn't care about my past or who I am. He's only a whore that cares about how much gel needs to go in his hair." Demyx was the one to now smirk. He wasn't feeling a bit sorry for Axel having to hear all this.

It served him right. His fault for hiding under the bed.

"Well I guess I can agree with you on that, but I'm sure didn't come here to complain about Axel."

"Don't say that name!….I-I just gotta find him, Dem. I have to find that Bastard!" Rox's voice seemed to be either filled with sadness or anger, I couldn't tell. What was he talking about?

"I-I gotta find that guy. He deserves to die for what he did to us…"

"Rox! You need to stop. There was no trace of the guy. You won't find him."

"OH, I'll find him alright. I'll find him and I'll kill. I'll kill him the exact way he killed M-"

"ROX! WAIT!" Dem screamed and slowly looked away.

"What's with-"

"Axel's under the bed." I growled loudly but as I turned to get out I was met with blue tear filled eyes. Oh gawd.

Roxas then ran out of the room and I slowly crawled out only glaring at Dem.

"Don't look at me like that! He needs to tell you on his own. He needs to trust you and he never will if you pull stunts like that" Demyx defended himself as he glared back at me. I then just headed out of the room and walked to Rox's room.

He had to be there.

Stupid stupid Nocturn for being right. Making me feel guilty. I hated it when Dem was right. It was like the side of the apocalypses for me.

I walked up to the door and of course heard the small sobs of Rox. Man, this damn kid making me soft. Why do I care so much about him? Maybe I should just take him and then leave him alone. As I thought doing just that though only one question fell into my head.

Will that truly make you happy Axel?

"…No." I let out as I ran my hands through my hair before gripping my red locks, cursing. Damn kid! Damn stupid little brat! Damn beautiful kid! Why does he make me like this? Why does he make me feel like this?

I mean I don't know myself anymore. I don't know what the f is happening to me! These weeks when I was looking for him, it was driving me crazy because I couldn't find him. I just wanted to see him. I wanted him by me.

'You're starting to fall for him.'

I let go of my hair and sighed. I guess that's it. I'm falling in love with someone I don't know a damn thing about.

"Great…." I think it was just then that I realized I was still standing in front of his door. I looked at it for the moment then reached out and knocked.

"Roxas….Roxas, come on, let me in." What I got as an response, I defiantly didn't expect. In four seconds flat Roxas had opened the door, slapped me, then slammed it shut in my face, not to mention gave me the finger in the process.

Wow, I couldn't even do that in that amount of time. I sighed as I didn't even bother to hold my aching cheek, I just knocked again.

"Okay, I deserved that, can I come in now?" I asked before knocking one more time. He then opened the door and was about to repeat what he did before but this time I caught his hand. I held it tightly as I gazed at him.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean to pull that stunt….Okay I did but I had a good reason. You wouldn't give me a chance. You wouldn't talk to me. So when you came to Dem's room, I had a chance and took it. You can't blame me for trying since it was because of you that I did it." I said my peace slowly and calmly as I let go of his hand and looked down at the ground.

I waited for him to hit me again. I saw his hand rise and waited. Yet I just felt fingers light tap my cheek. I looked up at him, surprise clearly written across my face.

"Y-You deserve to be hit, but not hard. Not with that speech." I smiled. Well that was better than nothing. I then lolled my head into his hand, slightly purring. He glared before pulling away. Oh darn, that had felt soo good. I gazed at him with the smiling widening.

"Come on, I got somewhere I wanted to take you before sunset, it's my favorite place." I turned and gestured for him to follow, which he did, slowly but surly.
