Author's note: I give up writing the disclaimer now been as I'm pretty sure everyone knows who owns Kingdom hearts. Anywho, would really appreciate the reviews, so just hit that little button at the bottom of the page and not the x button -puppy dog eyes- There's very slight LarxeneXAxel at the end of the chapter, but it is slight and thats all that comes up in the story but then again there's only like 2 or 3 chapters left -omg explodes- So please leave a review!
"Xemnas, four organization members have been lost, three are currently working together with the keybladers. Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
Xemnas paced past Namine who was sat limply on a chair. He stopped and ran his hard gaze over to Xigbar.
"Never think to question my plans, I am always right. Lost members can easily be replaced and we need not worry. As long as Roxas is out there..." Xemnas' hand fell down onto Namine's slender shoulder and squeezed it tightly "...And Namine is in here, they will do whatever I demand."
Namine shivered, then brought her eyes up onto Xemnas' hand that had planted itself uncomfortably on her shoulder.
"Roxas is already falling to the darkness, betrayed by those...feelings, he holds for Namine. It won't be long until he is taken over completley and becomes a puppet. It is then he will be able to capture those keybladers and we can finally begin out mission," Xemnas explained simply "We will soon also be able to rid ourselves of those who are no longer useful."
Larxene giggled and shook her head.
"One, two, three, four members gone," she counted on her slender fingers "They're doing an alright job, but of course i'd do alot better."
Marluxia watched her from stood on his own plaque in the Proof of Existance.
"Unless we do something we'll be next," he said sharply
Larxene's cruel eyes creased curiously "Sounds like Mr Marluxia has a plan. So, what is it? Don't keep all the fun to yourself."
Marluxia cast his eyes hard on Larxene's face "Xemnas plans on using Roxas as his puppet when the boy is possessed by the darkness. If we can get Namine then we'll lure Roxas to us, and we can then use him on our side."
"Whoever said the brat would listen to us?" Larxene tutted
"He will if we have Namine."
"Ahh, I see. I get it now right. My mistake, I'd never have realised that..." her words dripped in sarcasm
"Listen Larxene," Marluxia scowled "This is my plan and you'll do as I say, got it?"
Larxene had a sly but angry smirk on her face as she walked over to Marluxia "No, you listen little boy," she giggled as she stabbed her finger against his chin "I don't take orders. I'll help you out, but I'm not your run-around, got THAT?"
Marluxia made a a slight sound of a disgruntled sigh.
"...We'll use Roxas to take down the Organization..." he started
"Organization? But it's not very organised now is it?"
Marluxia said nothing to her comment "Then we'll get our hearts, and dispose of Roxas and Namine when we need to."
Larxene pressed her finger to her forehead "Just make sure I'm the one who gets to get rid of that witch."
Marluxia stared then nodded.
"I can't wait...Well Marluxia just don't screw up, ta-ta now."
With that Larxene dissapered through a portal of darkness.
"...Roxas..."
Axel shook the blonde haired boy's shoulder as he lay slumped on the floor. There was still no response and Roxas' eyelids stayed clamped shut. Axel looked back over his shoulder and up at Zexion.
"Well?" he asked
Zexion rolled his eyes "And that just proves you don't listen."
Axel scowled.
"Possessed remember," Zexion spoke angrily "...Your short fuse is exceding, but your mental ability is deplorable for even a nobody."
Ignoring him, Axel turned back to his unconsious friend. Roxas had been fine a few minutes ago, then he just flaked out.
"So smarty pants, what can we do to wake him up?" questioned the red head
"You might want to refrain from calling me that..."
Demyx was grinning boyishly to himself behind Zexion, amused by something from a thought in his head.
Axel rolled his eyes and got to his feet "Just tell me how to wake him up."
"You can't wake him up..." explained Zexion quietly "...He's fallen into the darkness and will only wake up when the darkness decides. You're fighting a lost cause so you might aswell just leave him, Roxas isn't Roxas anymore."
"Roxas isn't Roxas? Who do you suggest that is then, sure does look like Roxas," exclaimed Axel pointing at the limp boy on the floor
Zexion shrugged and eyes sidled onto the ground "He's not really even a who. He was never really anything but now he's just nothing. Possessed by the darkness he can't control his mind, just follows orders and is just as worthless as a dusk. You can't get him back."
Axel stared at the younger nobody slightly in disbelief, then dragged his gaze back to Roxas. He looked so innocent layn there still as rock, and Axel couldn't help but feel guilty for letting the boy tag along on this whole mission. If he hadn't come then Roxas would still be...Roxas.
"You're sure?" Axel murmered just to make sure this wasn't one of Zexion's sick jokes.
The schemer glanced up and looked out from under his fallen syled hair "...I'm sure."
Axel let out a sigh and Demyx had grown serious for once, deciding that laughing at his own personal thoughts wouldn't be the best thing in this situation. Eyes looked confused and widened as Roxas' body suddenly dissapered in a portal of darkness. Demyx and Axel looked to Zexion for an answer, knowing of course if anyone was able to decipher what was going on it'd be him.
"Xemnas has got him now, means when Roxas wakes up Xemnas can gain control straight away," Zexion began to walk off slowly "You might aswell just get out here. Roxas is gone and as soon as Namine has done her job she's gone aswell. You've got nothing left here, Xemnas will just destroy you if you stick around."
Zexion turned a corner and dissapered from sight.
"Well guess we'll just be leaving then..." began Demyx as he started out for the castle entrance
"You can go but I'm off to go get Roxas and Namine," stated Axel
Demyx turned on his heel and pinned his hands on his own hips "You know I'm starting to think Zexion was right, you don't use your head. Axel, this is our cue to leave, we've lost the other two so what's the point in been here?"
The pyro began to walk off "You know I'm starting to actually think, you're just a wimp..."
Xemnas let his lips curl at the nobody stood in front of him. Roxas stared back with intense, black eyes. His face dropped of all expressions, a blank just waiting for orders. Namine stood just behind Xemnas, her blue eyes smudged with wet tears. Just looking at Roxas was tearing her apart. He really was just nothing now, and Namine would have given anything to have the normal Roxas back. Maybe part of him was still in there and just needed to be pulled out, maybe Namine could help remind him of who he really was. The small girl pushed past Xemnas and ran over to Roxas, clinging her arms round the boy's neck. Roxas didn't move at her contact, standing there like concrete as she wept into his neck.
"Please just remember Roxas. I know there's a part of you in there and you just have to bring it out, you have to fight this, you just have to remember. You fought the darkness for me and now you have to fight it for yourself, don't give up, please just come back to me..." her words whispered around Roxas' ear but had no effect on the boy
Xemnas laughed "He won't listen to you, only I can make him react. Here, I'll show you... Roxas, un-cling this girl from yourself."
Suddenly rough hands grabbed Namine's waist, pinching her skin painfully before they sharply pushed her away and made her stumble back onto the floor. Namine looked up at Roxas in suprise and hurt. Xemnas was right though, the boy had followed his orders like a dog follows his masters command to fetch the stick. If Xemnas told Roxas to jump, he'd jump. Black gems bore into her like daggers and Namine began to feel uneasy. Maybe Roxas was really lost, maybe she wasn't going to get him back.
"Now Roxas..." spoke Xemnas "Go get me those keybladers who are quite blatantly tearing up my castle, and if you run into Axel and Demyx, get rid of them."
Axel watched the black portal blast up in front of him.
"Larxene..." he stated while crossing his arms across his chest.
Larxene stabbed her finger into the air "My favourite nobody..." she giggled
"Since when did you have favourites?"
"You underestimate me Axel, you don't know much about me do you. Maybe sometime after this we should get to know each other..." there was an misplaced playful smirk on her thin lips
Axel sighed and tilted his head to the side "Why would I want to spend time with someone who wanted me dead?"
"I was just following orders," Larxene pouted as she walked over to him
"You follow orders? Now that is a first," scoffed the pyro
Larxene glanced up from under her eyelashes at him "Anyway, pain is a good thing. Alot of things are made better when you're in pain Axel."
He stared at her, slightly bewildered to her unusualy flirty and somewhat kinder nature
"Look I'm kindda busy right now, get back to me later right."
He went to walk off but Larxene stopped him, her hand clasped the collar of his cloak.
"Just in case we don't see each other again..." she licked her bottom lip before yanking Axel's head down so he was at her level. Her lips then roughly collided with the pyro's, the close contact coming as a shock to him. Part of Axel was dubious to wether a sharp weapon was now about to be jabbed into him and replay a familiar event, but nothing came. A sudden jolt from Larxene's element pricked his mouth though, leaving twinging, numb sensations and sending his lips into a mere bliss. Not before long though Larxene pulled away, smirking as always in her usual fashion. She let go of Axel's cloak and he stood up straight, a slight dash of pink on his cheeks.
Larxene giggled slyly before walking away and letting Axel's eyes trail after her. She threw him a glance back over her shoulder "...Enjoy the ride Axel, and don't get killed."
