Blah blah blah: Bam! 'nother chapter, just like that! now we're up to date! The next one will be soon, I plan on updating these chapters every weekend... so you can expect a new on in a few days. In this chapter I mention a note that is attached to Larxene's door. You must go read the 'Trio Comics' by Keysha-chan over on Deviant Art! I love her style so much and she gave me permission to use the note in this chapter... she also did a fan art of the first chapter to this fic, it's so adorable! So there's a big special thank you to Keysha chan!

Let's see, I think that's it for these notes... so I hope you like it!


In our last chapter Saix seemed to show a great amount of patience with our dear little Sitar player, and now with the 'help' of Marluxia 'the bath towel avenger' they have set off in search of Axel and his little side kick Roxas... Let's hope those two can run fast... but what's this? our next victim... is...


Chapter 5: Sweet Nightmares…

It seemed like an eternity since they had first started this silly game, each minute that passed felt like an hour to Roxas as he started to slow his pace and fall further and further behind Axel. He finally stopped all together; shoulder's hunched as he fought desperately to open his eyes.

"Axel please... I'm getting really sleepy... can't we call it quits now... I just… Want to sleep..." Roxas leaned against the wall and slid to the floor, curling up into a ball when he met the ground.

"What? How can you be sleepy this is so much fun... and besides... It's your turn next." Axel was peeking through another door, and then glanced over where Roxas had been standing. "Wha… Get UP! No sleeping now!" he growled.

"But I'm tired..." Roxas almost sounded like he was in tears; the pain of being awake was starting to become too much for him to handle.

"Ah, come on, Roxas… I need you so we can sneak in and get that thing that Vexen is working, and then we can… Roxas?" Axel turned from the door looking down at Roxas.

The young Nobody was curled up, sound asleep on the floor like a kitten. Nothing could bother him now that he was safely in the arms of his dream world once again. Even the hard marble floor didn't seem to trouble him one bit. Axel growled as he kneeled down beside him.

"ROXAS!" he nudged his shoulder, and then did so again more forcefully, "ROXAS, WAKE UP!"

It was a lost cause; Roxas was out like a light. He was barely even aware that someone was calling him. He simply let out a sleepy sigh and curled in on himself a little more.

"That's it, you're on my list now… This wouldn't be so hard if you'd just listen to me like a good friend and help me out once in a while." Axel scooped Roxas up and started to carry his limp form to some unknown destination.

Roxas on the other hand was hardly aware of anything at all. He had reached that point of being so tired that no matter how hard he tried; he just couldn't make his eyes open anymore. He vaguely remembered his name being called, and then there was that strange feeling of being weightless. He knew he was moving somewhere, but he just couldn't snap out of it. There was a strange nose, and he felt like he was falling for a moment. He wasn't sure if he actually felt this or if his nerves were just trying to right themselves.

After a moment Roxas felt something wonderful, it was soft and fluffy. It felt like he was on a comfortable soft bed, pillowed by a silken mound of goose down, it felt fantastic. He snuggled deeper into the warm softness, casting aside the faint little warning in the back of his mind that told him he should wake up.

Axel glanced back at his sleeping friend for a brief second, surveying the scene. Roxas was now sleeping soundly on a neatly made queen sized bed, decorated with lacy pillows and red feather stuffed silk comforter. A total stranger passing by would have seen this and taken it as such a sweet gesture on Axel's part to actually consider his friend's needs and let him have a good night's sleep. But obviously that would be someone who didn't know Axel at all. There was a lesson here that needed teaching.

The background sounds of running water suddenly ceased, replaced with the soft sound of humming. Axel stood still in the doorway, holding onto the door with one hand and glancing over at the closed bathroom door. The warm steam that was finding its way through the crack under the door was thinning now. It was only a matter of time; this was the red head's cue to leave the scene.

Just as he pulled the door shut another door opened as a woman stepped into the room, wrapped in a red silk bathrobe and toweling her damp blonde locks. She took a few steps and slipped her bare feet into a pair of fuzzy pink slippers, as she flung her head back and created a sort of turban out of her towel. She noticed something odd out of the corner of her eye. Rubbing her eyes to free them of the hazy bubble effects of her hot shower, she stared at where she laid out her black Organization Uniform on her bed. There was a whole lot more than just that on it now.

A small blade slipped out of her sleeve and settled firmly between her fingers as she carefully approached the intruder. She couldn't make out who it was, but anyone who dared to find themselves in this lioness' den would die a slow and horrible death. She stared at the figure curled up on her comforter, back to her, hugging one of HER precious pillows. She also noted the Pjs, Silly looking swirly hearts, as well as mussed up looking blond hair. "It's got to be Demyx… stupid idiot is always getting turned around in the dark…" she muttered to herself as she readied her little knife. "If you think I'm going to forgive you for this again just because you've got the brains of a jelly fish you've got another thing coming…" She poked the sleeping intruder.

"FOR PETE'S SAKE AXEL, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" Roxas sat bolt up, screaming when he felt the sharp object jabbing his backside. He suddenly realized he was not where he thought. This was not his room, this was not his pillow, and that lacey white thing caught in his hair and dangling in front of his nose was most definitely not his.

"ROXAS!!! WHAT?…. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BRA YOU LITTLE PERVERT!!!" Larxene's shrill scream almost shattered his eardrums as Roxas froze panic stricken.

Axel stood in the hallway, leaning against the wall staring down Larxene's door with the nasty little 'Trespassers will be castrated' threat tacked to it. A wicked smile spread across his face as he pulled a little sharpie out of his pocket and leaned over the note; doodling a puffy bow on the sketch of the skull and bones. He jumped when he heard the ear splitting shriek that shattered windows all around, nearly dropping his precious sharpie pen. Then there was the crackling sound of electricity that hummed through the walls. Lights under the doorway flickered and blinked off and on from the sheer power the Savage Nymph commanded.

"Larx, I didn't… I mean, I wasn't… Don't KILL ME!!!" Roxas ducked as she chucked a few electrified daggers at him. Missing him by mere inches and planting them into her pillows.

"MY PILLOWCASES!!!" she howled, mourning the loss of her perfectly matching bed set. Her angered gaze then fell on the intruder that had fallen from her bed and was now crawling to the door.

Roxas was chanting 'I'm sorry' as he fumbled with the door trying desperately to escape. "I didn't mean to Larx, honest! I was asleep... I don't know how I got here!!!" It was like some sort of freakish nightmare. The more he struggled to get the door open the tighter it closed, he could almost feel her looming over him now.

"I… DON'T… CARE…." She growled as the lights around her flickered again, the air sparked with the electrified current.

Just as she was about to fling another deadly round at him he slipped through the door and slammed it behind him. Another ear piercing howl shattered the silence as three sharp 'thunks' hit the door about where Roxas' head had been. He scuttled backwards across the floor of the hallway, slamming against the opposite wall.

"Now are you awake?" Axel asked calmly, glancing down at his terrified buddy.

Roxas still trembled from the near miss he had just escaped as he looked wide eyed up at Axel, "YOU! You put me in there! SHE COULD HAVE KILLED ME!!!"

"Aw come on, Larxene's evil, but she wouldn't kill you… Horribly maim you maybe…" Axel chuckled as he pulled Roxas to his feet. "You're not hurt…" he then caught sight of the object that sent Larxene over the edge, "but you've got something in your hair…" he pointed.

Roxas squealed in terror as though a huge spider had just dropped in his head, "GET IT OFF!!!"

"Well hold still and stop squirming and I will." Axel struggled to free his friend from the clasp knotted in one of his spikes of blonde hair. He pulled it free and tossed the thing towards Larxene's door just as it opened.

Larxene sparked, her head bowed while taking on a fighting stance, "YOU… I should have known it was you behind this… Roxas isn't that big of an IDIOT…. But YOU… This is SO like you… YOU JERK." She looked up with pure anger flashing across her eyes like lightning across the sky. "YOU WILL BOTH DIE!!!"

Axel and Roxas both stared at her like deer caught in the headlights, the only thing that could save them now was a freak accident waiting to happen. Larxene took a threatening step closer tangling her feet in the bra on the ground, sending her sprawling out across the floor.

Roxas and Axel both ran like frightened chickens, Axel of course couldn't go far before he turned to taunt his would be attacker, "And so you are brought down by your own devices, that's what you get when you threaten me, you got that memorized!" he laughed evilly as they rounded the corner and disappeared from her sight.

Meanwhile, only just a little distance away, a small party stopped suddenly in their tracks. The screams, threats, and evil laughter had not gone unnoticed.

Saix stared down the hallway, a stern look tightening his lips in disapproval. Demyx slowly walked up beside the taller Nobody, "That sounded like Larxy! You think my Sitar just ate her too" worry welled up behind his light blue eyes as he looked up to meet Saix's gaze.

"I doubt that, but let's take a look." Saix grunted.

"Why should we… Let her fend for herself… I just want Axel's head on a lance." Marluxia growled as he held onto his towel to make sure it stayed up and away from the grasp of that evil little musical twit.

"Did you not stop to think that the reason behind her angered scream could be the one you're looking for?" Saix stated flatly.

Marluxia's eyes widened, "Let's go, we need to help her." He pushed past them toward the direction of the screams.

Demyx watched him leave; then looked back at Saix, "but Axel…"

"We'll see about your Sitar after we take care of this new problem… Perhaps your Sitar isn't the one causing problems." Saix stated again as he walked up behind Demyx, placing a hand in the middle of his back to push him along.

Demyx stumbled a little bit, leaning back against the force that was urging him onward, "What do you mean? You think that… That it's…" his voice trailed off as he pulled his gaze away from Saix, staring down at his feet.

Saix let out an agitated grunt, "We'll deal with that in due time, for now let's continue on."

Demyx still drug his feet, "I don't want to go…" He paused looking back up at the taller nobody, "You know how ticked Larxy will be when Mar Mar shows up in that… she's gonna have kittens…"

It was the second time that morning that Saix burst into laughter; it was almost starting to get scary.


Roxas is now wide-awake, and Axel has already rushed them off towards their next target… But what about Larxene, will Saix recruit her into their little Axel hunt? Or will the bickering between her and Marluxia send him into a berserker's rage?
