Chapter 13

ORGANIZATION 13

Roxas stared at the shirt filled with longing. Even though he remembered their faces, he didn't have any memories of them. And he could never ask. He wanted to cry, but enough of that had happened. For now, the most important thing was getting Namine free and escaping.

He looked over at her, who was looking lifeless and sad. It was the first time he had seen Namine look so defeated. "It'll be okay." he said in reassurance.

"It won't. I don't know why it mattered that I said I wanted you to be happy. That I wanted to be a better person, and letting them go. I'll probably go to hell when I die, and then it won't matter that I never let them go." Namine said, looking down.

"They probably won't kill us, it's probably for ransom or something." Roxas answered, "You'll have your chance."

"These people know us, there is more to this than ransom, besides, Xemnas wouldn't pay it." Namine reasoned.

"Cloud would." Roxas said.

"He doesn't have much." Namine said doubtfully.

"But he loves us unconditionally." Roxas countered.

"That doesn't mean he has money." Namine replied.

"Axel might." Roxas whispered.

"Are you kidding? Of course he won't, he hates me."

"How are you so sure?"

"That day when we had the screaming match... he had kept me after school and demanded to know what I did to you." Namine said.

"The cellar..." Roxas whispered.

"Yeah. I told him." Namine muttered, "His face was so full of betrayal." she hung her head with shame.

Roxas stroked her head, "That doesn't matter right now, we need to escape first, Cloud and Axel will be waiting for us. Come on, chin up, we'll make it."

"But... the chains." Namine tugged on them weakly. Roxas adjusted the cloth on his forehead.

"Do you have a hair pin?" Roxas asked with a smirk.

"Uh, yeah?"

"Hand it over." he replied, hand outstretched.

"But you can't pick locks..." Namine said.

"You can." Roxas said.

"I can't." Namine shook her head.

"You used to." Roxas clenched his fist, "Teach me."

"I don't remember how..."

"Try."

"...Okay."

~Cloud~

As Cloud pulled into Leon's driveway, he said, "I can't believe you acted in such a way to Roxas, Childish."

"I suppose it is, Namine is just the same. Maybe I influenced her." Xemnas mused.

"Namine... what?" Cloud turned to Xemnas, put the car into park, and shut off the engine.

"It appears Roxas didn't tell you, Namine was actually far worse than me, she made his school life nothing short from miserable." Xemnas laughed.

Cloud glared at Xemnas in response and said, "We'll discuss that later, for now we'll talk to Leon."

"Leon? Your boyfriend? Why?" Xemnas looked incredulous.

"Because, he used to be a cop."Cloud said simply, dragging Xemnas up the walk to the front door.

"Wha-?"

"He'll help with clues on where Roxas could be now." Cloud explained.

"What about Namine?" Xemnas asked.

"I don't give a rats ass about her, we're worrying about Roxas right now, got it?" When Xemnas didn't reply, Cloud opened the car door and stepped out. "Come on." Cloud knocked loudly and urgently on the door, calling Leon's name.

"Coming." a soft voice replied from somewhere inside. When the door opened it wasn't Leon, it was a tall and slender red head.

"Cloud?" Leon stood behind him.

"Who's this?" Cloud questioned suspiciously.

"Axel." Leon replied easily.

"Oh. Are you here about Roxas?"

"Yes, I wanted to ask Mr. Evans how Roxas seemed from his point of view yesterday, and just to chat. I know all the teachers in school after all." Axel smiled.

"So you don't know then?"

"Know what?"

"Know that Roxas has been kidnapped." Cloud replied.

Axel looked at him blankly before he questioned, "Huh?"

"Do I have to spell it out for you? He's gone." Cloud gave a little irritated huff.

"But who-, when-, why-, where is he?" Axel was suddenly tense with worry, his normal cocky attitude gone.

"That's what we're here about." Cloud said with a sigh.

"Hm?" Leon looked suddenly alert.

"We need you to investigate the scene." Cloud said.

"Investigate?" Leon echoed, baffled, "I'm not a cop anymore, you should just go to a normal police station. In fact, why didn't you go there before?"

"I don't like the police." Cloud said.

"Heh! Then how did you intend to report me?" Xemnas questioned.

"That is a totally different matter, you will be reported on what you've done." Cloud growled back.

"What did he do?" Axel asked, looking the most confused out of everyone.

"ALL RIGHT!" Cloud shouted, "Let me explain everything from the beginning: Yesterday afternoon, Roxas came to me for advice about Axel. He let it slip that Xemnas abused him," Cloud gave a pointed glare at Xemnas, "and so I came in the next morning to beat the shit out of him. But, Roxas was missing. So now I'm here for clues as to where."

Axel turned to Xemnas slowly, a dark look taking over his expression, "You... abused Roxas? I thought it was just Namine..."

"YOU KNEW?!" Cloud screeched. Axel gave him an alarmed look, "You knew he was being abused, but you let it happen anyways?"

"Shh, calm down Cloud, we can talk about this later. For now we should go to the house where they were kidnapped. Then, if I don't find anything, we are going to go to the station." Leon reasoned, resolving the situation.

Cloud gave Leon a hesitant nod, Axel looked down, and Xemnas glared at all of them in contempt.

~ROXAS~

"Almost...almost..." Namine muttered. She guided him gently, trying to get the hairpin to unlock the chains.

"I think-" Roxas was cut off by the lock which clicked and released Namine's wrists. She let out a small yip of joy and launched herself at Roxas.

"Thank you." She said with a genuine smile. Roxas grinned back.

"Just you wait, Namine, we'll get out of here just fine.

~LEON~

This is strange... why would they be kidnapped, as far as I know, Cloud's family isn't rich... it's really strange. Leon stepped out of the car and went towards Xemnas's house.

Xemnas sighed as he unlocked the door, "It's a mess in there, don't touch anything."

"You have no right to make such requests." Cloud replied as he passed through the threshold.

"It wasn't a request, it was a demand." Xemnas said.

"Don't make me laugh." Cloud answered, and he immediately walked to the back where there appeared to be a study.

"Wait!" Xemnas jumped in front of him.

"What?"

"This is my office, it has nothing to do with the investigation!" Xemnas blocked the space with his arm.

"Sure it does, it's in the house, isn't it?" Axel questioned.

"Yes, but..."

"We're going in, no questions asked." Leon finalized.

Xemnas glared at him, but stepped aside. Axel was the first to run into the room and look around. Leon pushed everyone aside to enter. The first thing he say was a photo, the only one in the office. It was framed and there were two people in it.

"Is that Mr. and Mrs. Strife?" Leon asked, pointing to the couple in the picture.

"Yes. That's Roxas's mother and father." Xemnas whispered.

Leon recognized them immediately. "I know where Roxas an Namine are, or could be."

~NAMINE~

"Roxas..." Namine looked over at her brother, who was looking faint.

"Yah?" He gasped, clutching his head.

"What exactly happened to your head?" she asked, holding his shoulders.

"Theyuh... hit meh tooo... had- harrd." his voice was slurred and his eyes drooped, "I'm... tiiired..." he lolled his head back and fell over.

"ROXAS!" Namine gripped him before he hit the ground, "Oh no, Roxas... please don't die... not when I just got my brother back..." She held him close, "PLEASE ROXAS!"

"D-don't be... dumb." Roxas muttered with a huffy laugh, "I'm fine..."

"You're not! Just... rest here... we can get out in a little while..."

"No. We might not have much time until they come back and chain us both." Roxas said.

"Don't you think it's a little convenient?" Namine asked.

"What is?"

"That you just happened to have no chains, and that I just happened to have a hairpin and the ability to pick a lock, an you just happened to have a pen?"

"Hmm. You're right!" Roxas murmured, seeming to have gotten over his dizzy spell.

"These people appear to know us. I don't remember ever putting a hair pin in my hair, it might have been planted, and who brings a pen to bed?" Namine began to twirl her hair with her fingers, growing more and more worried.

"I guess it is a little weird, but still... we need to get out of here, that's much more important." Roxas pushed himself to his feet and held out his hand. Namine accepted it and the pair went over to the cement door.

"Do you think it's unlocked?" Namine asked.

"Only one way to find out." Roxas pushed the door with his side. The door didn't budge. He pushed harder. Nothing. Roxas reared back and slammed into the door with all his strength. Nothing more than a slight shift.

"Wait a second... I'm pretty sure the door is pull, not push..." Namine provided.

Roxas gave her an exasperated look, "Couldn't you have told me that before I went running into the door?"

"Sorry. I forgot you didn't exactly see him open the door." Namine gave him a sideways grin.

Roxas threw up his hands and put his fingernails through the crack in the door. "Urgh..." He pulled and let out a yelp.

"Can you do it?" Namine asked. Roxas sighed in defeat and shook his head. "...What is going on? I thought for sure they'd make it easy for us, for some purpose. I don't really care that it's what they want us to do, as long as we don't die here." she sniffed with contempt.

"I wonder..." Roxas looked at the door intensely.

"Hm?"

"Why isn't there a doorknob?"

"Maybe there's a mechanism that opens it only from the outside." Namine suggested.

"Or maybe... we just can't see the lock..." Roxas ran his hand along the door in the center. He let out a sudden exclaim of surprise, "OH!"

"What is it?!"

"There's an indentation here!" Roxas exclaimed running his hand over the indentation.

"...An indentation?"

"There is a way out but..." Roxas trailed off.

"It's not here." Namine finished flatly.

"Yeah, unless it's got something to do with the chains, since that's the only thing in here." Roxas leaned against a wall.

"I dunno, it's a pile of chains, maybe there's something in there." Namine made her way over to it and started shifting through the metal links.

"I doubt it." All the same, Roxas went beside her and began to turn over chains, searching for any kind of help. After ten minutes of work, Roxas sat back. "Face it, it's not in here." Roxas sighed.

"A second ago you were the optimistic one." Namine teased.

"Yeah well, it's a demanding role, I needed a rest." Roxas replied.

Namine let out a humorless laugh. There was a long silence where Roxas and Namine just looked at the ground. Roxas was tired and done with the experience, and Namine just wanted some toast.

Suddenly, Namine jumped up and screamed, "WHY DON'T THEY JUST COME FOR US?! WHY DO THEY TORMENT US SO? WHY WON'T I GET ANOTHER CHANCE? WHY WON'T ROXAS GET A CHANCE TO BE HAPPY?" She hurled the chains at the door violently.

Roxas showed no alarm, but instead held her to him. "Shh..."

"I-I just want this all to be over..." Namine whispered.

"I know..." Roxas murmured. He looked up at the door and saw next to the chains, a small object that shimmered slightly. He stood and went over to it. "What...?" He touched it's surface and traced it. It appeared to be... a heart, or half of one.

"What is it Roxas?" Namine stood behind him.

"It's a pendant." Roxas lifted the heart off the floor and held it tightly. "Maybe..." Roxas fitted the heart into the indentation, and it was exact, but the other half was needed. "Not."

"What are we gonna-?" Namine was interrupted by the cement door swinging open.

"Hello~" Axel purred.

"AXEL!" Roxas launched himself at the redhead.

"Whoa," Axel uttered as he caught him in his arms.

"It feels like it's been forever..." Roxas whispered.

"It was only a day." Axel replied.

"What about my hug?" Cloud questioned from the doorway.

"I did all the work." Leon answered him, slipping an arm around his waist.

"Shut up."

"Where is your kidnapper?" Axel asked Roxas, eyes narrowed.

"I don't know..." Roxas shrugged. Everyone in the room sighed simultaneously.

"I still think that it's kind of suspicious that Xemnas didn't want to come in..." Leon muttered, looking past the threshold of the door.

Roxas gripped the heart-half pendant and placed it in his pocket, "Xemnas is here?"

"Yeah... it's a long story." Cloud laughed.

"That can wait for later, let's get out of here first, this place gives me the creeps." Axel muttered.

"Heh, you scared?" Roxas teased. Axel snorted and kissed him gently on the cheek for an answer. Roxas blushed in response.

"I agree with Axel, we should go." Leon said, leaving the room.

"Oh, so the big, brave Leon is scared too?" Cloud started.

"Hey, can y'all have your gay fest after we get out safe?" Namine complained.

"I have half a mind to just leave you here, so don't be making orders." Axel answered.

"..." Roxas sighed and led the way out of the door. The hall way was dimly lit, and the sound of low moaning appeared to come from the walls.

"This place is horrible..." someone whispered.

"As expected of the old Organization 13 hideout." Leon muttered.

"Organization 13?" Roxas whispered, the name sounded familiar on his tongue, but he couldn't place it.

"Yes, the people who kidnapped you were a part of the new Organization 13." Leon said.

"The new Organization 13?" Roxas echoed.

"Yes, the original Organization 13 disbanded years ago," Leon said.

"What is Organization 13?" Cloud asked.

"It was an organization that manufactured drugs, and it's biggest project was to try to create something called Kingdom Hearts. No one quite knows what Kingdom Hearts was, and people are still trying to uncover the mystery. It's also unknown why they disbanded, but the new Organization 13 is nothing more than a group of thugs now. The old Organization 13 was cunning, they shut down factories and disabled news stations." Leon explained.

"But, how are we involved?" Roxas asked.

"Well... your parents... they were a part of the old Organization 13."

A/N: Ugh, I'm tired... but I tried anyway! Admit that you are interested for the next chapter! Anyway, all will be revealed, Stay Tuned! ^-^
