Chapter 34: Investigation
It was late night already so it was normal everyone was asleep. Roxas and Xion were silently walking through the halls of the Organization with their pajamas on towards Xemnas' Office. They finally got in front of the door, but before opening, Xion started to chicken out…
-Roxas…I'm not sure about this… What'll happen if we get caught? –Xion said worried
-We won't get caught. Don't you want to discover who you were before? –Roxas asked, the girl slowly nodded
-Yes but, still…this is a bad idea. We better go… -Xion decided walking away but Roxas grabbed her hand in order to stop her
-Xion, don't worry. We won't get caught. Let's do this. –the boy said looking directly at the girl's blue eyes, this made the girl blush a little and smile
-Okay, let's do this. –the girl said feeling better than before, Roxas smiled and tried to open the door, but it was locked.
-Damn it…
Meanwhile on other part of the castle, Axel was laying on his bed reviewing all the events that day happened. He smiled every time he remembered his best friends were now an official couple after all the troubles they went through.
-Those two… -he smiled remembering everything again…
-Why Axel, why do we have to keep our relationship as a secret? –Xion protested
-Because if someone from the Organization finds out, you might get into many problems. You know how Saix gets with this kinds of things, and let's not even mention Xemnas… -Axel explained. Roxas and Xion took a few moments to think in Axel's words.
-I guess you're right… -Roxas sighed, Axel smiled
-Don't worry. That doesn't mean you can't kiss each other and that stuff. Just make sure no one's around when you do it. –Axel suggested, the two teens nodded
-Alright… -Xion sighed
-But we can do it up here, right? You won't say a thing. –Roxas suggested, immediately Xion cheered up
-Yeah! We can, right Axel?
-Just as I said, be sure to do it when no one's around. Not everyone enjoys looking at a couple kissing each other. –Axel explained, Roxas and Axel looked at him confused
-Why? –both asked simultaneously
-Because that's the way it is. So don't do it in front of everyone, understood? –Axel asked, Roxas and Xion nodded
-I hope Saix doesn't find out about this, or those two will get in so many problems… -Axel said seriously to himself
Some hours later, Roxas and Xion were still trying to get into Xemnas Office, but it was useless. Roxas had been trying to open the door with many different tools for at least half an hour, Xion by the other side had given up an hour ago and was just staring at Roxas.
-Roxas… Let's go. We have work to do tomorrow and we need to sleep… -the girl said yawning, Roxas sighed
-Just let me try with one more tool, I know I can do this… -Roxas said, Xion sighed and placed her head on her knees and closing her eyes.
The girl was trying not to fall asleep by any means, but it was useless since even though she didn't had any work that day, it was really late and she was asleep at that hour. Roxas turned around and looked at his girlfriend fighting against slumber and started to feel guilty to see her on that state.
He got on his side and gently shook her shoulder in order to wake her up. The girl immediately raised her head warned and stared at Roxas.
-Let's go Xion. We need to sleep… We'll try it other day. –the boy said helping her to get on her feet
Roxas started picking up all the tools he tried to use in order to open the door. Xion was silently staring at him, with a sigh she started staring at the door and started cursing it in her mind. During all her cursing, an idea came to her mind.
-Let's go, Xion. –Roxas said sadly with the box of tools on one of his hands
-Wait, let me try one more thing. –Xion said summoning her Keyblade, Roxas immediately got alarmed and got between the door and Xion.
-Wait! You're not going to hit the door, right?
-Of course not! Now move! –the girl ordered madly scaring Roxas
The girl pointed her Keyblade toward the Keyhole, suddenly the Keyblade started shining and a light beam went through it and towards the door's Keyhole and opened it. Xion smiled at Roxas when the door was opened.
-Why didn't we think these two hours ago? –Roxas said with a smile also
-Because we're both retarded. –the girl chuckled, Roxas and Xion started walking into Xemnas ' Office when Roxas remembered something and stopped the girl.
-Wait, what if someone comes and finds us inside?
-Weren't you the one who convinced me to do this? –Xion asked madly
-I know, but now that I think it clearly, Xemnas will get really mad. We might be turned into Dusks or worse… -Roxas reminded, Xion sighed
-Well, I got another idea. It's dark so no one will see us from far away. You stay on the door and try to listen if someone's coming, I'll go check the computer and try to find anything… -Xion suggested, Roxas nodded and placed the tool box on the floor
-Alright, but be sure to do it fast. –Roxas sighed, Xion nodded and give him a quick kiss on his lips
-Don't worry. –the girl smiled and ran into the desk and turned on the computer. A few seconds later, Roxas heard the girl cursing again.
-What's wrong now? –the boy said now upset by so many inconvenient
-This stupid machine is asking for a password! -the girl said as angry as Roxas
-Let's take it easy. What would someone as Xemnas would use as a password for his computer? –Roxas asked, Xion took a moment to think and got an idea
-I know! It must be "hearts"! –the girl said typing the word on the computer, but the password was incorrect.
Roxas knew the password was incorrect as soon as he saw the girl's expression on her face. Roxas immediately ran and got to her side before she exploded from anger.
-Xion relax… We have to be patient… what other password would Xemnas use? –Roxas asked, Xion closed her eyes and waited for her anger to go away and started thinking
-I don't know…
-I think I have an idea…what about "Kingdom Hearts"? –Roxas suggested again, Xion opened her eyes and started typing the word. After typing, the computer started to work.
-That did it! Thanks a lot Roxas. –the girl said giving him another kiss.
-I can really get used to this. –Roxas smiled, the girl giggled
-Just go and watch if no one is coming. –the girl said, Roxas smiled and went to guard the area as Xion started searching for information about her
After a few moments of searching, she managed to find the information about every member of the Organization. She started scrolling down through every member of the Organization, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII…
Roxas turned around and saw how Xion was laughing in front of the computer.
-Xion! What are you doing? –Roxas said upset
-Roxas…I bet you didn't know Axel's name before being a Nobody was Lea. –the girl said giggling, Roxas laughed
-Really!? That's a weird name!
-I know! Here says he used to live some place called "Radiant Garden"… I wonder where that is?
-Okay, that's enough Xion… Remember we don't have all night… -Roxas reminded, Xion nodded
-Yeah… Sorry. –the girl apologized and continued her search scrolling down through members number IX, X, XI, XII, but…
-XION! SOMENONE'S COMING! –Roxas said alarmed, Xion got scared also and as she was scrolling down she jumped member XIII, Roxas…
-What do we do? –Xion said alarmed also
-Turn off the screen and hide! –Roxas said searching for a place to hide. Xion obeyed and turned off the computer screen and started looking everywhere desperately for a place to hide
-Roxas, there isn't any other place, let's hide under the desk… -Xion said hiding, Roxas noticing there wasn't any other place decided to join Xion under the desk as he heard someone's voice outside
-What is it doing this tool box over here? –they heard Saix' voice, Xion immediately stare angrily at Roxas, he just shrugged
-I'm sorry, I forgot to pick it up…
-Hey, look at this Saix, Xemnas' Office door is open… -they heard Xigbar's voice also
They then entered Xemnas' Office and turned on the lights searching for an intruder. Roxas and Xion remained quiet as they tried to hide better in the small place under the desk. Saix and Xigbar started examining everything in search for an intruder making Roxas and Xion gulp.
-This is unusual… Lord Xemnas always locks the door… -Saix commented, Xigbar walked near the desk and spotted Xion's foot which wasn't hidden. Xigbar smiled
-Who knows? Maybe he isn't as young as we thought. –Xigbar said walking beside the desk and kicking purposely Xion's leg.
-Ouch! –the girl exclaimed, but Roxas silenced her with his hand
-How funny. Let's leave before Xemnas finds out. –Saix said leaving the room
-Yeah… It will be awful if Xemnas finds out someone entered his Office, he could even turn them into Dusks, right? –Xigbar said turning off the lights and closing the door. After they made sure no one was in the room, Roxas and Xion get out of the desk and turn on the computer's screen to have some light.
-That was close… -Roxas said relieved, he then turned to Xion who was palid and really nervous
-…Close? We were really lucky Xigbar didn't find us! We have to get out of here before someone comes back!
-Yeah, let's just turn off this….hey, look it's you. –Roxas said pointing at the screen, Xion got by his side and saw a picture of her and some information beside it.
-There isn't almost any information here…. –Xion said disappointed, Roxas nodded and started reading:
Number XIV, Xion. This is the last member that has joined Organization XIII. It can wield the Keyblade, so it will be just as useful as Number XIII in order to achieve our goal. The rest of the information of this creature is stored on C.O.'s computer.
-Looks like they're still treating me like an object… -Xion said sadly after reading, Roxas placed a hand on her shoulder trying to make her feel better.
-I wonder where C.O. is… -Roxas mumbled changing the subject
-Let's look what is says about you, Roxas… -Xion suggested, Roxas nodded in agreement, but just as they were about to start searching again, they listened how someone was trying to open with some keys…
-Damn it! They're back! –Xion said scared and threw herself under the desk again. Roxas turned off the screen this time and threw under the desk also, landing in Xion.
-I'm sorry… -he apologized as someone opened the door again and turned on the lights.
-I'm telling you Saix, there's no one here! –Xigbar said irritated
-Mhm, I swear I heard voices coming from here… -Saix answered
-Well as you can see, there's no one here.
-…The computer is on… -Saix noticed looking at the green lights from the computer, Roxas and Xion gulped at this.
-Yeah, maybe Xemnas forgot to turn it off, I'll go and do it off before you order me to do it… -Xigbar volunteered walking to the desk, again, when he passed beside it, one of Xion's leg wasn't hidden and Xigbar used this opportunity to kick it again.
-Ouch! –Xion exclaimed, but again Roxas placed his hand on her mouth to silence her
As Xigbar turned on the screen, he saw the picture and information of Xion on the screen and couldn't help but to smile at this. Roxas and Xion looked at each other concerned knowing this time, they were really doomed.
-Interesting… -Xigbar mumbled to himself
-What's taking you so much time? –Saix asked
-Umm, nothing. Let's go. –Xigbar said turning off the computer and walking away. As son as they heard the door close, Roxas and Xion got off the desk again.
-I can't believe how lucky we are! –Roxas exclaimed surprised, Xion stare at him seriously stroking her legs
-I can't believe how lucky YOU are, Xigbar kicked my beautiful legs twice! –the girl said angrily, Roxas laughed
-Let's get out of here before they come back… -Roxas suggested, Xion nodded
-Hey, I wonder what Saix and Xigbar were doing awake so late… -Xion commented as Roxas shrugged
-Who knows? Maybe they were thirst or something. –he answered shrugging
