-Chapter 3-

The first couple days were spent with the Organization just getting used to living in houses, not seeing everyone everyday, and not having to deal with Superior. Some, I can say, were thankful. Very thankful. The first thing Vexen did was form a lab in the basement of the house he occupied. Marluxia grew a garden in the front of the house and Xigbar make a small target range in the back. Out of all the houses, they seemed to be getting along fine. Unlike the house a couple streets over.

"If you don't like it don't eat it!" Zexion yelled tossing a plateful of food at Axel. "Don't just set everything you don't like on fire!" Axel ducked and let the plate hit and crash against the wall.

"Geez. Calm down Zexion!" Axel yelled from underneath the table. "You know I don't eat fish. It's disgusting."

Lexaeus sat at the table with his face buried in his hands. The two kept fighting over the littlest and stupidest things. It's been like that ever since the first full day with Axel taking his morning shower. Zexion thought he took too long and turned the hot water off on Axel. It went downhill from there. Lex did everything in his power to keep them from killing each other. He'd get back at Superior one day...maybe.

"I'm not dealing with this anymore." Axel finally yelled. He got up from under the table and stormed out of the kitchen thoroughly pissed off. He grabbed his black leather jacket from the closet and yelled. "Call me when you calm the hell down!" The door slammed and it was quiet in the house.

Zexion sighed dejectedly and slumped back into his chair next to Lexaeus. "I don't know if I can take this anymore Lex..." He sighed and shut his eyes.

'It feels good to get out of the house.' Axel thought. He walked throughout the dark and deserted neighborhood, hands tucked away into his jacket pockets. Boy he wished he could hang out with Roxas right now. He needed someone sane to be with. Zexion was just losing it every second they were together in that house. Yelling at him for stupid shit. The red head did fight back a bit but not enought to get Zexion really pissed. He had crossed that line once before and it was bad. Just the thought of that day made him shiver.

He stopped and stared up at the heart-shaped moon that loomed over head. Never once had it moved from that spot. It kept The World That Never Was forever dark. Not once had it ever changed from a moon to a sun. Axel never knew when the day started or ended so he wasn't exactly sure how long they had been living out of the castle. Lex said it had been 6 days but Axel felt like it was longer. Thought it really didn't matter.

He ran a hand through his spikey red hair and kept walking. An upside to all this was that they didn't have to wear the jacket every single moment of every single day. Axel was glad to be able to dress in normal clothes. He wore a pair of black skinney jeans that had a hole in one of the knees, his checkered Dock Martins, a black t-shirt that had a red VIII stiched on in the corner and his black leather jacket. He felt somewhat normal in these clothes. He'd been able to freely wear whatever he wanted and was estatic about it.

A sharp wind blew and Axel clutched his jacket to him. He stopped for a second and listened. He could've sworn he had heard something. He waited and the sharp wind blew again. Axel head a "weee!" along with the wind. He knew he wasn't hearing things! Curiously, he followed where the wind blew and found himself on the edge of a park starting in unbelief at what he saw.

"Demyx?" Axel recognized the mullet wearing blond boy. Even though he was in a pair of jeans and white t-shirt, Axel knew that kid anywhere. He was swinging on a swing, higher than what was even considered humanly possible. "X-xaldin?" The terror of what was The Whirlwind Lancer sat on a bench near the swingset reading a book in a pair of black sweatpants and a dark purple long sleeved shirt. As Demyx's swing dropped lower he called to Xaldin.

"Higher Xaldy! Higher~!"

Xaldin sighed and lifted a hand and summoned wind causing a sharp wind and making Demyx go higher and yell "weee!". Axel stood dumbfounded looking at this scene. Xaldin was playing with Demyx? The end of the world must be drawing near.

"Wow Xaldin really?" Axel smirked as he walked closer. "Up until now I could never see you playing with Demyx."

Axel expected Xaldin to flare up and chuck a lance at him but he didn't. Xaldin just grunted and glared at him. Axel cocked an eyebrow and leaned against one of the poles holding the swingset in place.

"What's with you, Xaldin?" Axel asked out of confusion. "You're acting all out of character.."

"Don't...you...know...?" Demyx asked as he swung past Axel.

"Know what?"

"Our weapons have been taken away." Xaldin muttered turning the page in his book.

"Wait. What?" Axel looked bewildered. "Seriously? Since when?!"

"Since we left the castle." Xaldin explained. He placed a bookmark on his page and closed the book. "We didn't find out until three days ago when Larxene got angry and tried to shank us which made her even more angry when she realized she couldn't summon her kunai knives."

"She...did...electro...cute...us....though!" Demyx jumped off the swing and landed on his feet. "We can use our elements that we control though." He said and skipped over to Axel. "Like, I can still use water, Xaldy can still use wind, Larx can still use lighting and you can probably still use fire." He added with a smile.

"Huh...That explains things." Axel muttered. "So anyway, why are you guys out here instead of your house?"

"Larxene's cleaning the house and doesn't want us messing up her 'hard work' like last time." Demyx sat on the ground and reached his hands toward Xaldin. "Xaldy, can you hand me my guitar? I wanna play my new song I wrote for Axel."

"What happen to your sitar?" Axel asked as Xaldin reached behind the bench and picked up an acoustic guitar. He tossed it to Demyx.

"My sitar was my weapon, silly." He smiled and stroked the strings on the guitar.

"Right..."

"Oi Roxas! C'mere mate!" Luxord called from the bottom of the stairs. He went over to the dining room table and sat next to Saix.

"What? Food ready?" Roxas could feel his stomach growling. Saix and Luxord had kept him from the kitchen for the past 4 days. Apparently Saix didn't appreciate the youngest Organization member sneaking sea salt ice cream out of the fridge in the middle of the night.

"Not yet. We want to play you in game o' cards." Luxord smiled. "If you win, you shall regain yer sea salt ice creams."

It was tempting but Roxas knew better than to play against The Gambler of Fate. He would never win and all three of them knew that. "Er... no thanks." He said and turned to go back upstairs.

"Then I guess you won't be wanting dinner, ey?" Luxord called. Roxas stopped and turned to see Luxord smirking. "You dun play yer card right, ye won't be getting food, Savvy?" He chuckeld and winked at the younger blond.

Sighing in dismay, Roxas dragged himself over to the table and sat down. "Just one round..." He said as Luxord cut the deck.

One game turned into ten and soon the three were running into the kitchen to stop the dinner from burning into crisps. Sadly, the only thing saved was the steamed brocolli.

"I'm not eating that." Roxas said cringing away from the small green tree looking vegatables.

Luxord couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the kitchen. The oven was completely useless and the smell of burnt chicken was filling the entire house. Saix went around and opened the windows in the kitchen and started fanning the smell outside.

"Then don't eat." Saix growled. "You can starve then!"

Luxord stopped laughing and exchanged a glance with Roxas. "He seems a tad...angry, no?" The Brit whispered to Roxas who nodded in agreement. "Er...Saix, mate, we can just eat sometin else fer dinner."

Saix sighed angerly. "I don't care. Get something else." He gripped the counter and restrained himself from beating the shit out of Luxord. He had been planning on making this dinner since they left the castle. He had worked hard on getting cooking right. All the help from Zexion had gone down the drain. And for what? A game of cards? It wasn't worth it. Now he desperately wanted to go back to the castle and be near Superior. He was usually calmer around him but wasn't quite sure why.

When the blue haired man finally calmed down he turned to see that both blondes had fled the room. Most likey afraid that Saix would tear them limb from limb. He sighed and went to find the box of tools to fix the oven. That was the least he would do.

Xemnas was never happy...until now that is. He'd been having the time of his life in the castle. He could actually get work down. There was no chaos, no yelling, no destruction. No members running amuck and causing probelms. He was able to destressify himself in 6 long, peaceful, perfect days. Though... he'd never admit to missing the members...which he did....way down deep deep deep in his non-exstiant heart.

He stepped onto the roof of the castle and looked out over the town. Somewhere down there, 12 NoBodies were running around, hopefully, not killing each other. He'd taken their weapons away but he didn't know if they'd use something else. Hopefully not...

He hoped they would learn how to work together. They would need to in order to take Kingdom Hearts as their own. He sighed and went back inside.

Yep. That's it fer now. Review? You guys keep me wanting to write. I'll take ideas too. x3 Thanks fer reading!
