Behind Hidden Eyes

Chapter two: Roxas

"Welcome to Organization XIII, Naminé."

Naminé looked around the room they had just entered. It was a circular room with a very high ceiling and there were thirteen chairs placed around the room in a circle. The chairs were different heights; they seemed to be organized by rank in the Organization. All of the chairs in the room were occupied, accept for the tallest one. That must be Xemnas's chair, Naminé thought. It was very intimidating with all of the members staring down at her. All of them had their hoods off, except one; the one in the shortest chair.

"Fellow members, I would like to introduce our newest member, Naminé," Xemnas said. "She is now Number XIV, and will be very important to our team, so do not harm her in any way," he threatened.

I'm very important? How am I important to the Organization?

"You may leave now, except for you Number VIII and XIII," Xemnas called out. The one's Xemnas had called to stay behind jumped down from their seats and began to walk towards Naminé and Xemnas. One of them was tall and had outrageous fiery, red hair that looked like a porcupine was living there. He had emerald eyes and two emerald diamond tattoos under each eye; as though they were tears. The other was the one who had his hood up and still did so that she could not identify him. He was only a little taller than her.

"My name is Axel, got it memorized?" the red head spoke.

Namine nodded her head, "Hello, Axel."

"And this is my partner in crime, Roxas," Axel said, grabbing Roxas and placing his arm around his shoulders.

"Hi, Roxas, I'm Naminé," she spoke with a smile.

Roxas didn't say anything, he just stood there; and it seemed to Naminé that he was staring at her from under his hood. For a slight moment, Naminé thought she saw his eyes and they seemed to be gold, but then the glimmer vanished.

"How about we show you to your room, Naminé," Axel said. He grabbed Naminé by her hand and led her out of the room, Roxas following close behind.

Naminé was led down a series of long hallways that twisted and turned in all directions. Axel finally reached a tall, white door and paused in order for Roxas to catch up with them. "Well, here goes nothing," said Axel. He opened the door and Naminé stepped into the doorway to examine the room's contents.

The room, like the rest of the castle, was white. There was a long table in the middle of the room with a queen-sized bed off to the left of the table. On the far wall was a ceiling to floor window that glanced down upon the World That Never Was and the heart-shaped moon that lit up the dark sky.

"Do you like it?" questioned Axel, curiously.

Naminé nodded quietly. She spotted something on the long, white table and headed towards it to find out what it was. On the table was a simple sketch book. For some reason, in the back of her mind, she realized that she loved to draw. How this thought came to mind, she did not know.

"Xemnas bought that for you," Axel said, interrupting Naminé's thoughts. "He bought it for me, why?" she asked him.

"He said that you would need it in order to help us," he explained.

Why would I need a sketch book to help him?

Naminé shrugged the thought away as she stepped away from the table to look out her vast window that was in her room. The room was beautiful; she loved how the moon lit up the semi-cloudy sky. She turned around to smile at Axel and Roxas.

"Thank you for showing me my room," Naminé said.

Crossing his arms, Axel smiled and Roxas remained unreadable.

Naminé stared curiously at Roxas. Why does he hide his face and not talk to me?

Axel seemed to know what she was thinking and smirked, "Well, I guess I'll leave you two alone to get to know each other."

Roxas sharply turned around to face his companion. "What?"

Axel just sighed, "You need to get to know her if you are going to be her personal bodyguard."

"I'm her what?!"

"He's my what?!" Both Naminé and Roxas shouted at the same time.

"I don't need a bodyguard," Naminé growled.

"According to Xemnas, you do, Naminé," Axel said.

"But why me?" Roxas asked. "Why can't it be Zexion are Demyx?"

"All Xemnas told me was that he wanted you to be her bodyguard, not anyone else; you. He said that you would be perfect for the job; and seriously, Demyx? Are you crazy? He can't even take care of himself!"

Roxas muttered something angrily under his breath that sounded close to, "stupid Xemnas."

Axel turned to leave and called over his shoulder, "Have fun getting to know each other."

The door shut behind Axel, leaving Naminé and Roxas alone in her room, just standing looking at the now closed door.

Roxas was the first one to move and headed towards the long table. He grabbed one of the two chairs and threw it out of anger. Naminé flinched at his action. What is wrong with him?

They stood in silence again. After about two minutes, Naminé got the courage to speak up. "Why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?"

Roxas turned around and looked at her from under his hood, "Yes, you did do something wrong, you're not supposed to be here."

Naminé looked at him confused. "Why?" she asked.

"You just don't belong here," he answered.

Naminé glared at him, "Gee, thanks. How about you tell me why you wear your hood. Are you deformed or something?"

Roxas advanced towards her and she began to move backwards. She kept walking until she hit the wall behind her and Roxas cornered her, placing both hands on either side of her head.

"Why does it matter if I wear my hood? Does it intimidate you or something?" he whispered dangerously. His breath tickled her face and it sent shivers running down her back.

"No," she whispered just as harshly, "I just wanted to know."

As Roxas had her trapped against the wall, Naminé caught another glimpse of his eyes; but instead of gold, they were blue. His eyes were a dark blue like a raging ocean during a storm. She kept staring at his eyes and soon became lost in his gaze.

"What are you staring at?" he hissed.

Naminé blinked, and then replied, "N… nothing. I wasn't staring at anything."

Roxas snorted, "Yeah, right. You were staring at me. Tell me, what is so interesting about me that you just have to stare?"

Naminé did not say anything. She had to force herself not to look into his eyes; they were too intriguing and she wanted to know what was really behind that gaze.

"Well?" Roxas asked, beginning to grow impatient.

"I said I wasn't staring at anything," she answered back with venom hinted in her voice. "Why do you care so much if I was staring, huh?"

The boy under the black hood stayed silent. Naminé noticed that his gloved fists were clenching on either side of her head and it frightened her to think of what those fists could do if the owner was really mad. Roxas's breathing was fast and hard; as though he had been running and his eyes from under the hood stared more menacingly at Naminé than ever before.

"I don't care," he answered. With that, he brought his arms swiftly to his sides and turned around to head towards the door to exit.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he groweled.

"Looking forward to it," she replied back sarcastically.

The door slammed shut behind him and she flinched.

Great, what a perfect way to start off your first day here, Naminé. Piss off your bodyguard. The one you're going to spend every waking moment with. Naminé groaned. She did not like it here already.
