YAY! NEW CHAPTER! I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Timeless Moment! You are the only person who has guessed and guessed right! ^_^ I'm so excited! Others can still guess but no peeking at TM's review! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I said that I would dedicate a chapter to anyone who could guess who the king, queen, and advisor are before they are revealed in the story! The hint was: they are all Final Fantasy characters and the king and queen and in the same game but the advisor is from a different one.

Thanks to Timeless Moment, chicagoxpillowz, NormaJean Beausoleil, Red eyes black phoenix, ILIKETHEWORDPIE, and blood as soft as silk for reviewing! And thanks to all the people who faved and alerted this story! ^_^ so many! YAY!

I had trouble with this chapter so I don't really know how it is. I just want to get to the good stuff quicker. NJ B- YAY! MORE OM NOM NOM COOKIES! Thanks! I have a bunch of twists to put in but I need to get to them first... I haven't even gotten to introducing Axel yet... that's not going to happen for a few chapter, I think. Red eyes- yeah it's creepy and it will get even creepier later in the story. But nope, it's not Sephy! Though I do love him... He will be making an appearance in this story somewhere. PIE- Thanks! and yeah Mansex is sooooo evil... You'll hate him even more in the next few chapters. I haven't decided what exactly is going to happen to him yet but I have a few ideas.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the Kingdom Hearts characters or Final Fantasy characters that will be seen in this story. I only own the plot.

WARNING! This story will be VERY dark. It will contain yaoi, both willing and unwilling. (Meaning there will be some rape and molestation in it but also the good, consensual kind) If you can't handle it then go read something else. I don't want people flaming me because they didn't read the warnings.

Chapter 2

A week after his birthday, Roxas was lying on his bed, exhausted from his work in the stables that day. He was watching the sunset from his window when he heard the carriage pull up. He frowned, trying to decide whether it was worth it to get up to see it or if he should just stay where he was. In the end curiosity got the better of him and he pulled himself up, groaning, to look out the window.

Leaning on the windowsill of his second floor window, Roxas looked down to the front of his house to see his mother and father greeting a familiar silver-haired nobleman. He ducked quickly as he saw the Lord glance his way, only peaking out again when he heard his parents invite him inside. He watched as Xemnas turned and said something to the man standing behind him, obviously a servant, before he followed the couple inside. The servant quickly walked back to the carriage and said something to the driver, which made him relax.

Seeing that the 2 men where prepared to wait a while, Roxas turned away from the window and walked to his door. He opened it as quietly as possible, sneaking over to the stairs where he could hear the voices coming from the first floor. He couldn't really hear what was being said so he carefully made his way down a few stairs, trying to make as little noise as possible. About halfway down the voices became clear.

"Honey, I don't know if this is a good idea," he heard his mother's voice say softly. "Oh! It's not that I'm ungrateful, Lord Xemnas! Really! I just think Roxas is too young. And we didn't think it was an option so we never talked to him about it! I don't want us to suddenly spring something like this on him. He'd be so upset." Roxas frowned. He didn't understand what his mother was so worked up about.

"I understand, Mrs. Fair," Xemnas said, kindly. Roxas rolled his eyes at that. Why was it that no one else thought he was faking? "It doesn't have to happen right now. The offer will stay open for the next few years. I will even come around every now and then to spend time with him. He seems like a bright boy which is why he caught my eye and I couldn't forgive myself if I did not at least extend the offer. My visits might make him more comfortable around me and make it easier on him if you do decide to accept."

"Wow." Roxas could hear the amazement in his father's voice. The lord's speech had made him uneasy and he cringed when he heard that he would be spending some 'quality time' with him. He shook it off and listened close as his father started speaking again. "I'm surprised that you would go so far for a young boy from a poor household like ours. It's not everyday that a noble invites a poor hunter's boy to be a page. He would get a better education than we would be able to give him. There are just a few things that make me hesitate. I agree with my wife, it is too soon and we must talk to him about it. Also, I'm a little distraught at the thought of him being so far away. He is still so young. I expected him to live at home for many more years."

Roxas paled, being frozen on the stairs. A... page? Living away from home? He wasn't sure what it all was but he didn't like what he was hearing. He didn't want to leave home. Especially not with Lord Xemnas.

Roxas quietly made his way back up the stairs and to his room, not wanting to hear anymore. He couldn't believe his parents where even considering letting that man take him! Why is it that no one else saw him for what he really was? A fake and a liar.

He laid down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling lost in thought. It was fully dark by the time he heard Xemnas leave. Still, he didn't stop staring. Not long after that, his mother called him down for dinner. He ignored her, rolling onto his stomach and pulling his blanket over his head. He ignored her when she called a second time, hoping that she would get the picture and leave him alone but a few minutes later there was a soft knock on his door.

"Roxas?" she called quietly before opening the door. "Sweetie? Did you fall asleep?" He felt the guilt well up in him at ignoring her when she used that sweet and caring tone. It made him pull the blanket tighter to him as if could make him disappear. He knew that she hadn't meant to hurt him but, with all the pain and the guilt, he wanted to curl up and die.

"Oh, honey, are you ok?" she said worriedly and he felt the bed dip as she sat down on the edge. It was then that he realized that he was crying. He was sobbing softly but loud enough that Aerith could hear. "What's wrong?" She rubbed his back soothingly.

He thought about ignoring her some more at that moment but the guilt just made him cry harder.

"I'm not going anywhere with that creepy old man," he said softly. He tried to stop the tears but they kept on coming. He heard his mother sigh softly before she laid a hand on his back, comfortingly.

"Roxas, could you please come out so that I can talk to you?" she said gently, her hand rubbing circles on his back soothingly. He hesitated at first but a few minutes later he calmed down enough to emerge from his cocoon. "Now I don't know exactly what you overheard but you need to understand, we're not going to force this on you. Lord Xemnas was just kind enough—"

"Kind? He's a creepy old man!" Roxas yelled, finally looking up at his mother. "And I don't care what this 'page' business is, I'm not going anywhere with that freak!"

"Roxas!" Aerith frowned. "I know I didn't raise you to talk about people like that! You barely know the man! He seems like a kind gentleman to me. Not many lords would go around offering someone of our status to become a page in their household."

Roxas bit his tongue to keep himself from saying anything else because he knew she wouldn't listen. It would only get him into more trouble. He just didn't understand why no one else saw what he did.

"Aerith, can you give us a moment?" They both looked up to see Zack in the doorway, a slight frown on his face. Roxas looked down at his lap, knowing that it was back when his dad frowned. He almost never did.

"Sure, honey. I'll go set the table," Aerith said, standing up to leave. She paused next to Zack to give him a peck on the cheek before heading downstairs, leaving the 2 alone in the room.

"Now," Zack said, closing the door and walking over to his son. "I know this has to be shocking and upsetting for you but that is no reason for your behavior. No matter how upset you are, you need to remember to be polite and respectful. Especially when it comes to nobles. You don't know what could happen if you piss one of them off." He stopped and watched his son who was still staring at him lap. He sighed and ruffled the boy's hair, something he knew would get Roxas to finally look at him.

"Hey!" Roxas yelled, knocking the offending hand away from his hair. Zack chuckled, happy to see his son's eyes looking up. "What was that for?"

"Just making sure I had your undivided attention," he said, standing up. "Now stop being a worry wart and get yourself down stairs before I eat all your food!" And with that, Zack rushed out of the room and down the stair.

"Noooo! My food!" Roxas, suddenly getting his appetite back, raced out after his father, knowing full well that he meant his threat. Aerith smiled as the 2 came racing into the kitchen, hoping that that was the worst of it but she had no idea what would happen the next time Xemnas came to visit.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! Just you wait, this is going to get DARK AND CRAZY! This chapter wasn't that good because I really just wanted to get it out of the way but I'll make the next few better. And I'm sorry to say that Axel will still not be in it for a few more chapters :( ...Unless I add in a special chapter just for him so that I can show you who he is... I'm excited about it. I think I might do that. So Axel may or may not be in the next chapter! XD That also means that I may be revealing the king, queen, and advisor in the next chapter too so if you want to guess who they are and get a chapter dedicated to you then you must do it before I post the next chapter! ^_^

Please review! I love reviews!
