Chapter 15

He knew it was a vacation day, so it was puzzling as to why Saix was knocking on his door. All he got in return for his bewildered look was a monotone, "Meeting in ten minutes, go retrieve VIII and XIII." The Luna Diviner didn't even wait for a response as he left. "Why do I always get stuck with this..." Demyx whined, but resigned himself to his task. Axel was easier to get up than Roxas, so he used a corridor of darkness to arrive right outside of the Flurry's door. There was no acknowledgement to his knocking and so, he entered without his friend's permission. The scene before him was one of Axel sprawled on his bed, an arm hanging off the side as he lay diagonal. Demyx sighed, walking over and shook his shoulders, "Axel." "Ngh, leave me alone. Vacation day…" he murmured in response, only half-awake. "We have a meeting, you got get up." The redhead cracked one eye open to glare at the neophyte. Demyx just crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at his friend, "Don't make me get the ice cubes." "Fine, fine, I'll get up…I'm guessing Saix put you up to this?" Demyx nodded as his friend slowly got out of bed, walking over to the door as if to leave when he felt Demyx's hand on his shoulder. "Axel… You forgot your pants." Indeed, Axel was still in his organization issued black tank top and had pulled on gloves and boots but had forgotten his coat and his pants, thus leaving him in his underwear. "So I am…" he murmured, "Leave it to Saix to do this one a vacation day." Axel kicked his boots off and pulled up his pants in a swift motion and put his boots back on. "Let's go get Roxas up." His trademark grin showing up on his face. Demyx let out a sigh of relief. Getting Axel awake was done, but Roxas was going to be the real challenge. There was no answer to the knock on the thirteenth member's door so the duo decided just to head on in. The sight was a familiar one, Roxas sprawled diagonally on his bed, fully clothed in his uniform, feet hanging off the bed. He had a game controller next to him and television was still on with a 'game over' flashing on the screen. "Hey, Roxas. Wakey, wakey!" Axel shook his shoulder gently. "Sleeping…" Roxas groaned, pushing his hand away tiredly. "We have a meeting, you gotta wake up." Demyx said quietly. Roxas cracked one eye open, "m'kay…" Then he just rolled over, pulling his pillow over his head. Axel looked over at the Melodious Nocturne, "I think this calls for drastic measures, kid's not gonna get up on his own." "Go for it, Ax." Roxas let out a surprised yelp as Axel hoisted him up over his shoulder, carrying his through a dark corridor to the Round Room. "Axel, I can walk on my own!" "Well, you should have thought of that before you refused to get up." "Now that VIII, IX, and XIII have finally graced us with their presence, we can finally begin." Saix looked over at them as uncaring as he sounded. "Fine, fine, we're going, Sai." Axel waved him off and used a dark corridor to travel to his seat, the motion was soon followed by his two companions. "Let today be a joyous occasion that Kingdom Hearts had blessed us with. Another Keybearer has joined our ranks."
