Chapter 3

"Demyx if you rhyme one more time, I swear I'll hit you so hard your children will feel it!" Axel growled as he walked down the castle hallway with the Nocturne.

"Aww but Ax its fun to do, why don't you try it?" Demyx replied and made another rhythm.

Axel decided that he made a big mistake in doing that, his nerves were already run raw by spending the entire day with the most annoying member of the organization. So he grabbed the blonde by his collar and slammed him into a wall. Demyx squeaked in surprised, then cowered before the red head. Axel prepared to beat the crap out of Demyx, but suddenly stopped and looked out the window. Demyx closed his eyes waiting to feel the beating of his life, but when it didn't come he peaked an eye opened and saw that Axel was looking in awe out the window and followed his gaze.

The two Nobodies could see Memory Skyscraper stand proudly under Kingdom Hearts but… something was amiss. There was some sort of glowing orb on top of it, "What's that?" Demyx asked pointing at it.

Axel didn't answer right away he narrowed his eyes as if squinting at it would bring the answer to what it was come to his mind, "I don't know," he eventually replied. "Let's go check it out," he created a dark portal and dragged a reluctant Demyx through it.

"Axel no wait let's talk about this!" Demyx whined, "We don't need to check it out now, shouldn't we have back up or something what if it's a monster?"

"It's a glowing orb, how could that be a monster?"

They reappeared on top of Memory Skyscraper, and stared at the glowing orb for several minutes. Axel sure didn't was to make the first movie toward it so he looked at Demyx hoping he could convince him to make the first move. "Well?" Axel asked motioning at the orb.

Demyx kept staring at the glowing orb as if it put him in a trance, and didn't answer. Axel eventually lost his patients, "Get going!" axel exclaimed pushing the blonde toward it.

Demyx slowly stepped forward tensing up more with each step, once he was close enough to touch it he stopped. Axel blinked at him, "Dem… you ok?"

The Melodious Nocturne didn't answer, but kept staring at the orb. The pyro sighed and walked over to see what had stupored the other nobody. When he was standing next to Demyx and saw what he was looking at his eyes widened. Inside the orb… was a person. "Damn," Axel swore lightly.

Demyx poked the orb lightly to see if it would pop or something and was surprised to find that it felt pretty solid. With a sight he looked at Axel, "So what should we do with it?"

"Um... I guess we should go tell the Superior."

Demyx nodded, still not sure if it was a good idea and leaned against the orb, "But if the Superior considers it a crime, we might do time."

"There you go rhyming again, would you give it a rest," Axel growled in frustration, "And why would he consider it a crime?"

Demyx opened his mouth to answer when the orb started to glow, he jumped back as if it had burned him. The glowing got brighter and brighter until it was almost blinding; Axel shielded his eyes and fell over thanking God that he didn't fall off the tower. The light slowly started to dim, and when Axel was able to see again the orb was gone. But standing there where the orb used to be was a naked boy looking no older then eight or nine years old. Demyx and Axel stared at the boy with raised eyebrows, and after a moment he started to open his gray eyes. There was a long silence until Axel finally spoke, "Um… hello?"

The boy looked at the two Nobodies with curiosity, "Where am…I?" he asked.

"Your... a ... at the world that never was," Demyx replied no longer looking frightened since a kid didn't seem to pose any threat, that is until the boy decided to move. He took a step toward the blonde, and a keyblade appeared in his hand.

This made Demyx jump out of his skin and cling onto Axel like a leach. "Axel save me!"

The red head gasped as the air was forced from his lungs, "Demyx… I can't breath…!"

Demyx tightened his grip and whimpered pathetically, and the boy gave them a confused look before holding the keyblade up, "Where is… this place?"

Neither nobodies answered because Demyx was too scared and Axel had no breath to talk. The boy turned to the castle and stared, "What?" he said pointing to it.

"What is he an idiot?" Axel asked after finally prying Demyx off of him and catching his breath.

The boy blinked and he looked at axel, "IDIOT!" he screeched at the top of his lungs making the two older males cover there ears.

"What?" Axel asked thinking that the kid was upset at being called an idiot, "You don't even know what castle is when you look at it," he motioned toward The Castle That Never Was.

"Castle idiot! Castle!" the boy continued yelling at the red head.

"Um... Ax I don't even think he knows what he's saying," Demyx commented.

"Saying idiot even idiot!" the boy screamed to the pyro again.

Axel started to understand what Demyx was getting at, "He's like a new born that's saying what he hears?"

"Exactly," Demyx replied.

Axel took his coat off and wrapped it around the boy's naked figure, and picked him up. "I guess we should take him to the superior," he replied then created a portal for the three of them to walk through back to the castle. They reappeared outside of Xemnas's office then Axel raised a fist and knocked on the Superior's door. "You may enter," Xemnas's droning voice was heard after a moment.

Axel opened the door and stepped in with the boy was held in his arms, Demyx was close behind. Xemnas didn't look surprised for that was an emotion, but his voice betrayed how surprised he really was, "Number eight ... what is that?"

"It's called a child, Superior," Axel joked, usually not a good idea but Axel was a rebel.

"I know what it is, what are you doing with it?" Xemnas replied coolly, choosing to ignore Axel's comment.

Before anyone could answer the child pointed to Xemnas and shouted, "SUPIROR! IDIOT!"

The look on the superior's face was worth money to see. Axel had to force himself not to burst out laughing, but Demyx looked frightened, "No superior it's not what you think he just repeats what he hears."

This didn't help matters, Xemnas glared at them both, "Oh really?"

The Melodious Nocturne didn't realize what he said and nodded vigorously. Fortunately for the water wielder Axel saved them both, "No Superior he takes every word he hears puts then together in a random order."

"I see," Xemnas replied starting to calm down.

Axel put the boy down on the ground and grabbed Demyx hood, "Well you decide what to do with him Superior," he threw Demyx out the door and gave a salute. "Hasta lavista!" with that he ran out.

Demyx ran straight to the grey room with Axel following behind him. "We found a baby," Demyx announced and the room became silent almost instantly with every eye turning to look at the two newcomers.

Axel suddenly slapped Demyx in the back of the head, "Don't say it like that!"

"Ow," Demyx rubbed his head glaring at the red head.

Axel decided it was his job to explain, "We didn't find a baby, he found some kid up on Memory Skyscraper."

"A kid?" Roxas asked curiously.

"Yep don't ask me where he came from we just found him and now the Superior has him," Demyx explained.

"What is a kid like exactly?" Xion voiced a question.

"It's someone two years or less younger then you," Marluxia explained.

"So why did Demyx call him a baby?" Roxas asked

"Because he's so small," Demyx replied saying the world 'small' in a baby voice.

Xion and Roxas suddenly went wide eyed along with everyone except for Axel and Demyx. They both looked at each other confused then turned to look where all there eyes had strayed. A small figure in the organizations coat was behind them, it was the kid. "Hi!" he greeted them, startling Demyx and axel.

They both just stared at him bewildered, the kid was actually speaking normally now. Xion's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh my gosh he's soooooo cute," she squealed. The boy looked at her with his head tilted, making him appear more cute, and Xion squealed again even loudly then couldn't help herself. She jumped from her chair and cuddled him tightly making the boy gasp for air.

"Number fourteen let him breath," Xemnas said suddenly coming into the room. Xion pouted but obliged and let the child go. There was a short silence before Xemnas spoke again. "Everyone, this is Neox…"
