(A/N) Hey guys! So I just wanted to give a shout out to my lovely beta Reyaa! We're working on a collaboration together called Glowing in the Arms of the Mysterious. It's awesome. If you want to check it out it's on my profile. If you want to read any of her super long and super amazing stories or one shots then there's a link on my profile as well. :)

Disclaimer. I don't own.

And that's when all hell broke loose.

"What?" The crimsonde sitting across from me practically screams.

"Well, Sora is still in school- I technically dropped out, and Riku is working full time, but only making enough for food and utilities. The rent still has to be paid..." I trail of with the look of indignation Axel has.

"I picked you out of a crowd of people, you who happened to be the only one who caught my attention, you who I can't stop thinking about, who I feel like I've met before, who is an absolute angel, and you happen to be a prostitute?"

This was not going as planned.

Axel didn't seem all that pissed off at me. You could tell he was pissed at someone though His eyes started to darken with something I didn't understand and his body seemed to become very alert, his foot tapped impatiently and his nails raked the insides of his palms. I swear blood was teeming at the cuticles.

Even if he wasn't currently directing his flurry of fury at me now, I was more of self-preservation guy anyway. He could always turn it my way.

I tried to cover my tracks by saying, " Well yes... think of it this way, you wanted a 'fuck buddy', now all you have to do is pay me. No big deal..."

"No way," was his hasty reply, "I'm going to kill the fucking bastards who thought they could use you, who are you employed under? Never mind, I'll ask Larxene to ask, she might know, and at the very least she can track the guys..."

He jumped up and without touching the ladder, dropped to the main part of the library. That jerk... he left me here alone.

After my initial thoughts of abandonment I realized something. Axel was being dead serious. The way his face burned malice, the way his instincts were coming in… he might actually kill Vincent.

Yes! The sadistic bastard of a pimp needed to have some sense scared into him. The way that Vincent treated everyone was disgusting. He was the filthiest, cruelest man alive. Perhaps I should've show Axel the whip mark, or the branding, or my 'uniform'. I could have an Axel version of a S.W.A.T. team chasing after the slimy piece of breathing meat that was Vincent Valentine.

Yeah. Valentine my ass.

Even though I wanted to stay in the comfortable loft, something inside of me screamed to leave, or at the very least find someone else. I didn't want to spend my entire day waiting for Axel to come back. I'm sure at the very least I could find something interesting to read. The best idea would be to try Riku and Sora, but I had a feeling they were busy.

Knowing Riku he was probably using the space and luxuries to the maximum, holding the treasure. Knowing Sora, he was probably warming up whoever he could in attempts for that person to feed him or play a game with him.

I took my time slowly down the stairs. Judging by how large the mansion was when I first arrived I figured the entire place to be the size of a small country. I wish I had a map. I guess I would have to stay in the library... I knew that I was at least on the first floor. I was about to find the front of the room and work from there but something made me pause. What stopped me and had me curious were to bickering voices.

I followed the maze of books to corner just around into a large open space filled with a square table and four couches surrounding that. The most beautiful skylight made of varying shades of blue and purple stained glass let in a fair amount of colored sunlight. The most peculiar thing was that a black book with the backwards word zexion covering the front was patterned into the skylight and perfectly shone down onto the square table covering its expanse. When looking at the table, you could read 'zexion' perfectly on it. Whatever a zexion was anyway...

The two voices- a man and a woman were standing just out of the open area, closer to another dizzying set of rows of bookcases twice as tall as Axel. I moved out of my hiding spot so that if they looked in my direction they could see me clearly. I waited patiently not wanted to disturb their argument.

After close to ten minutes though I was bored. I couldn't even chase after Axel now, seeing as how I would get lost trying to find him... better just to let him do what Axels do. Instead I figured I would try my luck with the two people standing a ways from me.

"Hello?" I asked, trying to get their attention.

The first one to look over was the woman- a short blonde. She wore a white and gold halter top with an interesting maroon skirt that clamped just under her knees. The skirt also had gold patterens woven into it and to hold together the sides, from her hips to her upper thigh purple lace was woven between the two pieces. She wore a sandal/ heel looking contraption around her foot in the same shade of gold that was embedded in her top. On her hands she had gloves of cream and gold that matched her top.

Her braids 'whapped' her in the face when she spun around on her heel, but the clips and feather she wore in her hair didn't move at all. Dark sky colored eyes focused in on me.

"Hello?" I tried again.

This time the short man turned around for he finally realized that someone was speaking to him. He was dressed far more simply. A pair of black boots, some jeans, a striped blue and black tshirt and some thin white rimmed glasses. Behind those glasses his eyes were opened wide. All of the books that the man held in his arms, pale in color and extremely malnourished, were dumped on the floor.

"Hello?" Now this was just plain annoying.

"Oh, er... Hello..." The blonde recuperated, blinking owlishly as she did so.

The small slate haired man seemed to gain his composure and asked, "Did you need anything? Assuming you are one of the men they brought home last night? I didn't pay much attention."

"Oh, yes! I'm Roxas, um, Axel's 'pet'? I guess... Anyway I was looking for something to do around here, but I didn't want to get lost wandering around. So I just followed the voices."

"Ah yes. I'm Penelo, the librarian of this fine mansion. This library is even bigger than the public ones so I understand if you need help. I'll spend my day with you! Zexion was just leaving weren't you Zexion?"

Oh so Zexion was a name... He probably owned this room, or it was dedicated to him or something. Mr. Fancy… had to go and get his freaking name engraved into a freaking window. Backwards too! That pompous ass.

There goes my mind again… I didn't understand the urgency to remove him though. When I saw Penelo's eyes flit to the dropped books and back to me a few seconds later then I became aware of a few things. I noticed the titles. Just a few being:

Sabotage of a Bank.

Getting Blackmail on the Mayor. And the most disturbing.

Ways to Pleasure a Man of High Power.

The must be for the members. Were they planning something? I didn't want to be stuck around here doing nothing so I came up with the next best idea. Which was not 'best' at all.

Zexion scrambled to get out of the library as soon as he could. He jittery scampered past Penelo and nearly made contact with the edge of a sofa. It wasn't ethical for non-members to hear about plans right?

Within the next few moments I committed the worst possible thing I probably could. I know I had been looking for adventure these past few months... but what I did was just plain stupid. Zexion was just near disappearing behind a book case when I stopping him dead in his tracks.

"Do you need any help on a mission? I'm pretty good at getting blackmail."
