Take the Fight out of the Kid

Chapter Six

'The sun when setting makes the increasing shadows twice as large.'- Virgil

I walked down the staircase as gracefully as I could and walked into the waiting room where Sora and Demyx were sitting with a blushing Jenn, cooing about how pretty she was and how her hair looked so soft. Well I'm pretty sure she looked close to the same as she did when I last saw her; her hair was longer, her boobs were bigger and she was taller, that seemed to be the only difference- aside from the fact that she was wearing a nice dress that accented her curves.

"Hello Jenn. Never thought I'd see you here." I had no idea what opening line I should use since her uncle roped me into the damn job and the Reaper gave me no other option, it had been three years and I really had no idea how to talk to women that didn't try and molest me.

Jenn turned her head in my direction and her eyes lit up right away. "Axel! Oh my god!" she hopped off the couch where she had been surrounded by Sora, Demyx and Zexion off to the side- he was more talking to Xion though. Before I could stop her- even though I probably wouldn't have -I was tackled and her arms were wrapped around my neck. "I've missed you so much Axel! I almost didn't believe my uncle when he said you were here!" was she stupid, or did she just not put the two pieces together?

"Uh, yeah… It's nice to see you again too." I wrapped an arm around her back and returned the hug as nicely as I could with a fake smile and everything. She took a step back and brushed the hair behind her ear and gave me a shy smile as her cheaks dusted. I caught Sora and Demyx mocking her from the couch and just gave her a smile as I motioned towards the front door.

"Common, you're uncle has arranged for a car to take us out tonight, wherever you want to go." I gave the boys a smirk as their jaws dropped and I could see Zexion actually seething as he grabbed Demyx and pulled him back down onto the couch as he tried to run after us, mumbling something about 'Not around Jenn… we'll get him later'

As soon as the door closed behind us Luxord motioned towards the large dark blue Bentley and he just smiled at me, knowing it was my first time off the compound since I'd gotten there. I slid myself into the car behind Jenn and let out a sigh once the cool leather hit the back of my stuffy tuxedo, it was the middle of summer and too hot to be wearing a freaking tuxedo- why I'd chosen the white suit.

"So, where do you want to go Jenn?"

"Can we just go to the country club? I want to show you off." the tone in her voice was so freaking tight and high that as I nod my head and the driver started rolling, I wanted to hit my head repeatedly. "So, Axel I was kinda wondering… why you never called."

"I didn't have your number… and to be honest I completely forgot that Xemnas is your uncle." I gave her a smile but just as she was about to answer my phone went off, completely catching my attention with the loud upbeat song that made Jenn jump.

"What in the world is that?"

"My ringtone… please excuse me." I'd completely forgot to change it since nine times out of ten it was a client calling for phone sex. "Hello?" I raised the phone to my ear, liking the fact it was the newest touch screen with unlimited minutes and as many texts as I wanted- too bad I only got the chance to use it with clients, Xemnas and Luxord.

"Axel, I just wanted to give you a bit of additional information. I figure it'd be best to inform you that if the earring is removed from your ear, then it will shoot a tranquilizer into your skin before it can be completely removed."

"Alright. Is there anything else I should know?"

"Yes, shower her in attention and affection. If you don't, you'll be-"

"Locked away and safe, I know. I'll talk to you later." I ended the call and let out a deep sigh before smiling at Jenn when I saw the concerned look. "Don't worry about it… just one of my friends making sure I put his necklace away safely."

"You had one of your friends necklaces?"

"Yeah, he didn't want Demyx getting his hands on it, so he gave it to me to keep it safe." the lie was so effortless that she just smiled and let out a fairly high pitched giggle as I leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek.

My eyes caught Luxord's in the rear view mirror and I saw him reaching for the divider so I sat up straight again and distanced myself enough to give Luxord the signal that I wouldn't do it in the car- for the simple fact that too many people had gotten onto the black leather seats and control hadn't been their strong point.

I turned back to Jenn and got into the same topic that'd kept her talking for hours back in the Reapers Palace: her. She spoke, and spoke, and spoke, she started tearing up at one point so I got her to tell me more about her puppy- one thing that had clicked in my head when she'd been talking. I could see the smirk on Luxord's face from the back seat and tried as hard as I could not to roll my eyes as I raised my hand to fiddle with the earrings in my right ear- a bad habit I had when I was bored or listening to something I didn't want to be.

"Everyone! This is Axel!" my eyes went wide as Jenn walked me into a fairly large room, filled with teens that I'd seen three years before in the Reapers Palace. Right away I noticed Danny and a few others so I gave them a fairly large smile.

"Hey, Axel! God, long time no see. Damn, I haven't even heard anything of you. Jenn talks about you all the time though- the relationship still strong?" I remained silent for a while, wondering what kind of lies Jenn's been weaving about me that I'd have to catch onto.

"Of course…everyday! This is just the first year he hasn't been busy with work!" Jenn hugged my arm and my eyes instantly caught with Danny- the one boy I knew was aware that I hadn't seen Jenn in the first year. "Common Axel, I'm hungry." Jenn started pulling me towards the fairly large buffet that had been set up. She had a vice grip on my arm as she lead me to the buffet.

"Here, I'll get your food for you."

"But, what about you?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll get my food next." I gave her a soft smile knowing that this would be hard to stay a gentlemen and still be the anti-rule kid that I was four years ago, that I still was on the inside.

"Awe! Your so sweet. Thank you. I'd like the honey-garlic-chicken, the mixed-vegetables and the deep fried prawns." she pressed a light kiss to my cheek and went to go sit down, allowing my face to relax again as I grabbed the food for her, trying to think of a way to trip and spill it all over her. I was starting to not care if Xemnas put me into the basement for a MONTH so long as I didn't have to pretend that I had been dating her for years. It's not even like it was a white lie and I was attracted to her, I was gay! Did girls just not get that concept that I liked male bodies opposed to females? I couldn't even get it up for a girl unless I was thinking of a guy, I hope that's not odd for gay men, but at the same times I've never known norms.

"So Axel… how've you been?" I looked across the buffet table at Danny as he smirked.

"How about I give you my number, and we catch up when I'm not on the job?" I raised an eyebrow and gave a bit of a smirk at his confusion. He nod his head and I passed my phone over to him as I finished piling Jenn's plate with probably too much for her to eat. Danny started putting his number into my phone as we head off to the table where Jenn was sitting and giggling with a bunch of other girls and their boyfriends.

The first person I noticed was Riku; I'm not proud of it, but I felt my heart start to pound as I saw him there with a girl, a smirk across his face as he looked at me, aqua eyes following my every move. He'd been a client of mine a few months before hand, but he'd jumped off my band wagon and started requesting time with Sora, but something that made me smirk myself was that I knew he was cheating on his girlfriend, and that his parents didn't know he was gay- or at least appreciated the male body.

"Hello everyone." I gave a fake smile and sat myself down, having lost my appetite. "How're you love?" I leaned over and pressed a kiss to Jenn's temple as I sat down beside her, catching Riku's smirk. "I'll be back in a minute, I've got a crazy sweet tooth today." Jenn just giggled as I stood up again and walked over to the frozen section and grabbed a bright red cherry popsicle out of the freezer before walking back.

I could see Luxord's glare from the corner of the room, casually chatting with a few adults as I sat down and went to unwrapping my popsicle. "Aren't you going to eat normal food Axel?" Jenn turned her large light blue eyes on me and I just smiled kindly before allowing more of my Irish drawl through my speech.

"Not really tha' hungry, I might get sometin' later." it wasn't the strong drawl I had as a kid, but I could control it's intensity at most points- talking like a true Irish sailor when I was alone in the Boggle without a customer.

"Oh, alright." she gave a smile before starting to eat her Chinese food and continued talking.

"So, we know your name… but you don't know any of ours I'm guessing. I'm Pence, this is Olette and Hayner, that over there is Siefer, Rai, Fuu and Riku too." I looked over at the others and nod my head in acknowledgment, seeing Riku's aqua eyes burning into mine as I raised the popsicle to my lips and started licking off the freezer frost.

"Nice to meet you, or see you again. I guess my minds a little foggy about the Reapers Palace."

"No problem. Hayner, Olette and I were in the next year after you, only Siefer, Rai, Fuu and Riku were in your year- well, and sitting at the table."

"Really? You were in the year after us?"

"Yeah, but I mean what you did? You were a freaking legend. Thanks to our year though, you've kinda been wiped off the face of the 'breaking the rules' chart." I raised an eyebrow and just took a moment looking at him, wondering if he'd tell me or if I'd have to ask.

"What happened was these two brothers, apparently they hadn't seen each other in like a year- the younger one ran away or something. It got really messy when one confronted the other."

My heart stopped and I felt the lump in my throat. "W-what happened?"

"One of them killed the other in a fight. They rolled into the dining table and a knife fell off. Stabbed him right through the heart. Since then all the Reaper has used is plastic utensils." my heart was beating out of control as I scooted forward slightly forgetting the cherry popsicle that was melting down my fingers to leave a red stain on the white tablecloth.

"Do you know which one killed the other?" my voice had gotten small, Pence and I had grown closer together as the rest of the table took on another topic, being completely un-amused by the slightly morbid topic.

"No, as soon as they figured out what happened, the wounded one was carried off to the hospital to try and save him, the other was given a class C license and kicked out of the building without a job assigned to them. It sucks too, because one of them was really cool… he'd actually become a really good friend of ours." Pence took that moment to point to Hayner and Olette and I noticed that the girl looked sad as she looked at me.

I cleared my throat quickly and sat back up, taking Jenn's hand in mine and looking at Pence. "Well… that's a pretty sad story. I'm only upset that my impression only lasted a year. But hey, that's twelve months of ten year olds that didn't best me." Pence's serious face broke into a smile and I tilted my head with a smile of my own before starting to clean the mess my popsicle had made.

I noticed as Riku's eyes fixed with the popsicle and held the smirk in as I took it into my mouth to suck off the melted juices; if there was one thing I knew about Riku- probably even more then Sora -was that he loved blow jobs- giving and receiving -to be exact.

"So Axel… why so interested in the year after ours?" I turned back to Jenn and took the popsicle out of my mouth, playing that I hadn't been taunting Riku just to have fun and thought for a moment for a good lie.

"Because he said it bested me… and I have to admit, two brothers going at it and one being killed; that bested me- but enough about the past, I want to know more about you. I feel like I could just hear you talk all night and never know enough."

"But I've been talking all day. Cant you tell me more about you now? I want to know everything there is to know about Axel…" she trailed off and I could tell she was looking for my last name.

"You already know enough about me, I am everything you want; remember?" I heard Luxord coughing from the other side of the room and quickly took the signal to fix that statement. "Because all I am; is in love with you." her face softened and she wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug.

"Oh my god! I love you too!" her perfume was starting to give me a headache, but one thing that I didn't mind was the fact that she didn't crush the air out of my lungs like some girls before had.

Once she pulled away I stood up and held my hand out for her. "Would you like to dance?"

"B-but there's no music." her face lowered a bit in a sad expression and I shrugged as I took her hand and guided her to her feet.

"Well… I'm sure the music will start once we're into the dance." she spun under my arm and I held her in a fairly close hold as we started a simple waltz I'd learned a year or two before when Xemnas thought it'd be best for us to all have proper etiquette incase our clients wanted us to do more then just fuck.

Jenn's face went bright red and I smiled a bit as her head went down on my shoulder, her toes were just on the tips of my shoes so she'd lift her feet at the same time and get the steps right, so I knew she didn't know how to really dance yet but had been taught simple steps.

Olette and Hayner joined in after a minute, then Riku and the brunette he'd been sitting beside, a scowl on his face since he'd been dragged onto the dance floor as the band got into their seats and started to play. I had to change my tempo a bit to accommodate them, but Jenn sighed contentedly, so I couldn't really give up until the song was over.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Alright, I'll see you guys back in school. Bye!" Jenn waved from the window of the car that was to take us to her next location of choice. "I hope you don't mind Axel, but I kinda thought a visit to an old friend might be nice." I raised an eyebrow at her since I had no friends but Roxas: and at that point I didn't know if he was alive or not. For all I knew they could have been blackmailing me with his safety for three years and he could be dead.

"Uh, no problem… but am I allowed to know who it is?"

"Hee, no. It's a secret." I got a bad feeling when she said that, a really bad feeling. But I decided to not question it aloud and just nod my head in agreement.

"Oh! I have a better idea, we can do that tomorrow! I want to go to the movies tonight!" my eyes went wide at the sudden attitude change as Jenn moved forward and started telling the driver to go to the closest theater; Silver City in Metrotown.

"Um, okay, I'm up for anything." to be completely honest, I'd never gotten to go to a theater, so just the thought of going to a movie was making my muscles tense and adrenaline pump.

Jenn sat back down on my lap, rotating her hips until she was comfortable and she put her head on my shoulder. "So Axel… can you tell me about Ireland?" I peeked down to see her look up at me and then I looked up into the rear view mirror to see Luxord looking at me, I could see the intrigue in his eyes.

"Nothing to really talk about. Green I guess."

"Axel… you've got to do better then that. You're so mysterious and elusive, I know nothing of you." I lifted her head with my finger and pressed a kiss to her lips before giving a bit of a smirk as I pulled my face away slightly.

"I'm just being honest, there's nothing I can do about that."

"But what about you're family."

"I don't have one. You already know what happened when I told you in the Reapers Palace." she smiled as she bit her bottom lip, leaning forward for another kiss and I gave it willingly.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The movie had been annoying; romance drama. It had all the girls crying by the end of it as the couple stood, at a wedding alter after so many trials of the young business heir and his wife of choice- a girl from the worse side of town -and Jenn was no exception. She'd been sobbing and balling on my shoulder as I stared at the scene, probably one of the only ones in there that actually got to see the couple die of the poison that'd been put in their glasses at the reception.

In short, it was a horrible experience for my first- and probably last -time in a theater, Jenn had taken a good fifteen minutes to calm down. But the ride back to the mansion was filled with heated kisses and me having to pin her hands above her head so she'd stop trying to undress herself in the car.

"A-Axel, p-please." her cheeks were flushed and her hair only slightly messed up, but it had been down and loose so you couldn't really tell I'd held her face to mine by fisting a bit of her hair- not harshly mind you.

"Not here." she nod her head and a few minutes later the car stopped, we were both sitting up and I lead her into the house, my tuxedo still intact and up towards my room. We shared a few kisses on the way, the first inside the house was at the bottom of the stairs when she'd turned to me and gripped my face.

Her kisses were sloppy and unpracticed, I tried to guild her as much as I could but she liked dominating kisses while being submissive with her body. I broke our lips apart and lead her up to the floor my room was on when she pulled me into another kiss. Again at my door, that kiss I had pinned her to the thick wood of my bedroom door and allowed my right hand to curve down the side of her body and rest on her hip.

"Axel." I broke away from the kiss and turned my head enough to see Xemnas standing at the top of the stairs with a glare on his face. I stood up a bit and took my hand away from Jenn's right hip, still using my left arm to lean against the door as Jenn started to fiddle with my tie. "Get in the room." his voice was demanding and we spent a moment glaring at each other before I reached down with my left hand and opened the door, catching Jenn as she lost her balance and slipped into the room with her.

I pushed her against the back of the door and pressed short, light kisses to her lips and down her chin. "A-Axel! More!" I smirked and stopped altogether, moving away from her and watching the dazed expression on her face. "Axel?"

I smiled and grabbed her hand, my eyes trained on her in the low lighting of my candle covered room. I pulled her towards the bed and sat her on the edge as gently as I could. She reached her hands around my neck and gripped her fingers into my hair. "Jenn, relax… if you don't want me to do something, tell me." my voice was a low purr as I wrapped my right arm behind her back and lowered her to the soft bed with a powerful kiss.

As our tongues danced I allowed my hand to travel from the side of her neck to the top of her dress and I could feel her breath hitch, but she didn't say no so I kept going. I pressed kisses to her neck and spent a moment there as my fingers unlaced the straps on the dress. Just by the way she was moving and reacting I could tell that she was a virgin, I felt bad that I was the one who was going to take something like that from her; but I wasn't really getting a choice.

"Axel… say my name." her voice was breathless and I inhaled a bit, taking my mouth away from her throat where a light hickey that wouldn't stick long was and pressed a kiss to her lips.

"Jenn." she groaned as I said her name and pulled the left side of her dress open to cup her breast. "Jenn." she whimpered a bit as I drew my thumb over her nipple and once again I found myself having to pull up images of various men as the night went on; Riku being the main focus of my night because I'd seen him sitting across from me with glazed eyes in the country club as I'd had my popsicle.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I wasn't used to waking up beside someone, normally the people who spelt with me were gone by morning, but as I looked down at Jenn, sprawled out across the left side of my king sized bed as I was curled in a small ball like normal.

"Axel… come here for a moment." I turned my head around to see Luxord standing in the corner of the room, he looked serious and fear went through me; was Xemnas upset with how I conduced myself the night before? I nod my head a few times and got out of the bed, grabbing my boxers and following Luxord out of the room after making sure that Jenn was covered.

Sora and Demyx both poked their heads out of their doors, and I noticed that Zexion was behind Demyx, but I couldn't answer the questioning looks I got as I followed Luxord down the stairs and into Xemnas' office.

"So, I need the details of last night. Who did you see while you were out, what did you hear about who?"

"Not much, I saw Riku… um, Danny- haven't seen him in three years." I noticed Xemnas flip through his book of names but I kept going. "I'm pretty sure I made Riku get a boner under the table with a popsicle, then we went to a romance movie and Jenn cried her head off. Came back, and went up to my room." I shrugged as I sat down, trying to think of the actual events of last night since I had already blocked most of it out. I decided to leave out the information that Roxas might not be living, though I could tell that Luxord noticed.

"So, nothing happened? What about last night, what approach did you use?"

"Gentle, soft, I never pushed her and I didn't move too quickly. I'm assuming the pain she felt was fairly high, but at the same time she never told me to stop." I shrugged my shoulders and sat down in the chair that was always there. "Is there something that I did wrong? Because to be frank I'd rather not do that again tonight."

Anger flashed in Xemnas' eyes and I let out a sigh, holding my hands up in the air and looking at him right in the eyes. "Don't be offended, she's very pretty. But I'm gay. Got it memorized?" Xemnas let out a sigh and folded his hands together.

"Axel, I'm going to tell you this once: I don't care that your gay, if you get a female as your customer, then you will take care of that customers needs. Now go grab my niece's breakfast and bring it to her." I nod my head with a sigh and gave him a smirk as I stood up.

"Should I serve it to her like I never left the room? Or should I get dressed."

"Put trousers on. Now get going." I nod my head and allowed the door to stay open behind me for Luxord as I made my way into the kitchen.

"Hey, Axel! How're you doing?" I gave Sora a smirk as he hopped into the kitchen followed by Demyx, both as cheery as ever- indicating they hadn't had customers the night before.

"Alright I guess… gotta make breakfast now though, do you think she'd like a fruit plate with some cheese? Or eggs and toast?" I opened a loaf of bread and sliced off a piece for myself as I thought, both Sora and Demyx pondering beside me.

"Make her a fruit plate." all three of us turned to see Xion walking into the kitchen looking absolutely tired and limping slightly.

I let out a sigh seeing possibly my best friend in the house limping and pulled out the most padded chair that the kitchen had to offer. "Alright Xion. Want me to make some for you too?"

"Yes please." she dropped her head to the counter and Sora walked up, rubbing her back soothingly. We all tried to help her as much as we could, making sure that she didn't go crazy or into serious depression like the other girls- or get addicted to some kind of drug.

I lit one of my many candles with the mini lighter I kept in my boxers pocket- don't ask me why I had a pocket in my boxers, I just do. I set the light Paopu scented candle by her head and I heard her take a deep breath as I started with making a giant fruit plate and a smaller one for Jenn.

Strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, grapes, kiwi, pineapples, cantaloupe, oranges, tangerines, mangos, watermelon, cherries, and a large chunk of cheddar cheese- Xemnas had said its her favorite. I set Jenn's plate aside from the other as I sliced the cheese for both her and everyone else.

"Oh my god! You're a miracle worker!" Sora moved towards the larger plate as I spun around but I set it down in front of Xion, keeping Sora and Demyx away with one foot on the brunettes stomach as I pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.

"We'll talk about it when I'm not busy, alright?" Xion nod her head as I set the plate down, only wishing I'd had a paopu fruit to add to it. Sora and Demyx started to eat some of the fruit, not diving into it like wild animals, but sitting down so the four of them could share it evenly.

I gently opened my bedroom door and smiled seeing Jenn still sleeping on the bed, the blanket had only moved slightly but she wasn't uncovered. I set the food down on the night stand and moved over to get into a pair of black slacks since they were the closest. Letting her sleep was ideal for me, but the apples and pears would have begun to brown so I crawled onto the bed and wrapped an arm around her waist before gently kissing from her shoulder to her neck.

"Mmm, wha?"

"Morning Jenn… would you like some breakfast?" I pointed towards the fruit as I kissed her neck again, feeling her skin flush under my lips as her hips rotate backwards a bit.

"Y-yeah… mmm, s-sounds go-od." I took myself away from her and got off my side of the bed and grabbed the TV remote and flicked it on as Jenn sat up and started eating. "So Axel… h-how are you this morning?" I sat back down and gave her a smile as she grabbed up a strawberry and gently bit into it.

"Pretty good, how're you this morning?"

"I feel great! I don't think I've slept that nicely in years!" she gave me a smile and I returned it as I flipped the TV to a news station since it was one of the only stations I was allowed to watch.

"Really, you don't feel swore or anything, do you?"

"Nope! My shoulders are a bit tight, but they've been like that for a long time now." I looked over with a raised eyebrow, I had figured out when I hadn't been made to give a full recount of the night to Xemnas that something about the time I was spending with Jenn was different to the Grimm, but I couldn't have been sure.

"Well, I can give you a massage once your done your breakfast if you want." her eyes went wide and her smile grew a bit- if that was possible as she nod her head. There was a fairly firm knocking on the door and I hopped up to get it. "Hello?" Luxord was standing there and he just reached up, taking the green dragon earring out of my ear and handing me the one I'd had before.

"Xemnas wants me to let you know that there is a pound of chocolate for you in the mini fridge in your room, as well as a bottle of wine and a few Red Dragons in the mini fridge for you when she's in her shower." yep, I was right: privileges.

"Alright, thanks Luxord." he nod his head and I knew he'd be just standing outside the door so I shut it and slid the earring back into it's rightful place with a smile.

"So Axel… what are our plans for today?"

"Um, I don't really know. What do you want to do."

"Well, we have an appointment for six tonight, but until then we're free." I took notice of the word 'we' that was used several times, but ignored it as I just nod my head and sat down beside her in the bed. "Would you like some? I haven't seen you eat anything."

"Don't worry, I had my breakfast while I was making yours." I gave her a smile and I saw her eyes soften as she bit into another strawberry, only having them and green apples left on the plate with just a few slices of cheese.

I felt violated for the first time in a while, just because I didn't know what the hell she was playing at; was she playing dumb, or was she just really clueless to the fact that I was a whore for a living? And then there was my emotions running rampant about Roxas, god, my note must have confused the hell out of him if he was the one to kill Ventus, I debated on asking which died by name, but I just couldn't, especially since I kind of took it the night before that Hayner, Pence and Olette were friends of Roxas. I couldn't really have done that to them, and Pence said he didn't know since they were escorted out right away as it was.

AN:

Me: I hope you all like it. I feel really bad, I keep promising angst that is as angst as it gets, but I'm not delivering DX

Axel: your over analyzing things… just give me more internal emotions.

Me: oh my god! Why the hell didn't I think of that? DX I'm an idiot!

Sora: are you PMSing or something? Your never this critical of yourself.

Me: I AM NOT! My English teacher is just being really mean to me right now and it's making me overanalyze everything.

Roxas: am I going to be coming into it soon?

Me: I don't think so… I kinda got a bunch of ideas before that happens, but maybe.

Roxas: fine, but I'm introducing Sora!

*a very long silence as everyone waits*

Me: are you going to introduce Sora?

Roxas: that was my introduction.

Sora: alright then! (before they get into a fist fight) we all hope you review and let Elizabeth know how she did! Reviews just make us smile like crazy, so please don't be shy in letting us know. Have a good time and kill as many Heartless as you see out there! (They hide in the damndest places… like Elizabeth's pencil-case)
