The 14th Key ~ Chapter 8 Chapter 8! Sry it didn't come out last night :( I was working on something for the LSSP, and my computer kept freezing on me and I had to restart it, WMM was being a pain in the butt, and....yeah....so sry bout that. I'll try not to let it happen again! :D ~Chapter 8~ “You should ask Xed out.†Roxas almost choked on the cereal he was eating for breakfast the next morning. He looked at Demyx with wild eyes, still trying to breathe. “Excuse me?†he said. Demyx smiled. “You heard me.†He said. Roxas shook his head. “I-I-I can’t!†he stuttered. Demyx rolled his eyes. “Oh come on, Roxas! It’s obvious you like her, so why shouldn’t you ask her out? It’s a nice Thursday-day, and it’d be a perfect day for you two to hang out together.†He said. Roxas shook his head. “I don’t know…†Axel walked up to him. “How about this: Demyx and I will go with you, unnoticed. Then, we can help you without being seen.†He proposed. Roxas cocked his head. “Okay…†he said slowly. He smiled slightly, but it quickly vanished. “But I’ve never asked a girl out! What do I say?†Demyx and Axel thought for a moment. “I can help you there.†The three of them looked up to see Marluxia walking into the kitchen. Axel started laughing. “You’ve asked girls out before?†he said. Marluxia crossed his arms. “Of course I have.†He said. Axel cracked a grin. “How many?†“One.†Axel snorted. “Only one?†Marluxia smiled slyly. “Well, that’s more than you can say for yourself, isn’t it Axel?†he said. Axel crossed his arms and smirked angrily. Demyx and Roxas chuckled. “So, how do I ask Xed out?†Roxas asked. Marluxia raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Xed? You want to ask her out?†he said. Roxas nodded shyly. Marluxia smiled. “Well, all you have to do is say it simply: Xed, would you like to go out with me?†Roxas cocked his head. “That’s it?†Marluxia nodded. “That’s it.†Roxas stood up. “Okay then, I’ll go ask her…†+++ Roxas stood outside of the Weapons Workshop door. He turned around to see Axel and Demyx standing behind him, smiling in approval. Roxas turned back towards the door and took a breath. He knocked twice. He heard the doorknob turn, and then the door opened a little. Xed looked through the crack, and then opened it all the way, seeing it was Roxas. She smiled. “Hi, Roxas.†She said. Roxas could feel himself freeze up with fear. How was he supposed to ask her out? She was so… And he was so… Xed raised an eyebrow. “Roxas?†she said, waving her hand in front of his face. Roxas blinked and looked back at her. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Sensing his nervousness, Axel walked up to Roxas and put his hands on his shoulders. “Xed, Roxas has something he wants to ask you.†He said, encouraging Roxas. Roxas nodded. He opened his mouth to speak again. “Xed…do you…want to…go…out…with…me…?†He asked, his words soft and growing softer. Xed seemed surprised. “Really?†she said. Roxas looked at the ground and nodded dumbly. She smiled. “Sure.†Roxas looked up at her. Had she just said yes? “Sure?†he asked, hoping he had heard what he thought he had heard. She nodded. “When will we go?†she asked. “Around…5:00…?†he said, still in partial shock. She nodded again, smiling. “Okay, I’ll meet you out in the living room then.†She said, before closing the door of the Workshop. “YES!!!!†Roxas shouted, excited. Axel pat him on the back. “Ya see, was that so scary?†he said. Roxas looked up at him. “Yes! That was terrifying!†he said. Demyx walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. “Well, you did fine.†He said, smiling. Then, the three of them walked towards the stairs. Roxas stopped suddenly and turned around towards the Workshop door. “What’s wrong?†Demyx asked. Roxas shook his head. “Nothing.†He said. Demyx shrugged and he and Axel continued walking. Roxas lingered a moment before catching up to the two Nobodies. He could’ve promised he had heard an excited ‘yes’ coming from the other side of the door… +++ 5:00. Roxas waited in the living room for Xed. Apparently, word had spread about their little ‘date’ and now everyone was in the living room (except for Xemnas and Saix), waiting to see them leave. Roxas rolled his eyes, annoyed. “Did you all have to come?†he said. “Yup.†Larxene said, looking up from her Death Note manga in her lap. Roxas sighed in annoyance. He turned to Demyx and Axel. “So are you guys gonna come?†he asked, almost pleading. Axel nodded. “Chill, Roxas. We’re going to follow you after you two leave.†He said. Roxas nodded. “You know, Roxas,†Lexaeus said, from his seat on the sofa, “you should say something nice to Xed when she comes out.†Roxas cocked his head. “What should I say?†he asked. “How about this!†Xigbar said, jumping up from his seat next to Zexion. He cleared his throat. “Girl, I know your feet must be tired, ‘cause you’ve been running through my mind all day!†he said. Everyone gave him a strange look. “How about,†Luxord said, “You look nice today?†Xaldin shook his head. “No, that’s not good enough. How about: Your eyes are really pretty?†he said. Axel waved his arm frantically. “I know! I know!†he said. “First, set the area around you guys with fire. Then, when she says ‘Roxas! Look at all this fire!’, you say ‘The only fire in my eyes here is you.’†He said. Larxene rolled her eyes. “He’s trying to compliment the girl, not kill her.†She said, chucking at his stupidity. Axel rolled his eyes. “Well,†Roxas said, “I think I’ll just tell Xed—“ “Tell me what?†Roxas looked up to see Xed walking up from the stairs. Roxas immediately blushed. “That…you…look nice today.†He said, smiling weakly. Xed smiled back, blushing slightly. “Thanks.†She said. Roxas summoned a Corridor of Darkness, and they stepped through. “Have fun!†Zexion called. “And be back before curfew!†Vexen called, earning a laugh from the other members. Roxas rolled his eyes in embarrassment as the portal closed. +++ The two arrived in Twilight Town. Xed looked around her. “Where are we?†she asked. “Twilight Town, my old home.†Roxas replied. Xed smiled. “It’s nice.†She said. The two began walking down a path when Roxas felt a light tap on his shoulder, and resisted the urge to jump around. Instead, he calmly looked behind him to see Axel and Demyx following close behind, soundlessly. Roxas smiled and turned back around. He could always count on them. +++ Roxas bought the two of them Sea-Salt ice cream, and they ate walking down a path by the Sandlot. “Roxas!†Someone whispered. Roxas turned around to see where the whisper had come from. It was Axel. He clasped his hands together and mouthed ‘Hold her hand’. Roxas nodded, understanding what he was saying. He switched his ice cream to his opposite hand, and slowly and shyly took Xed’s hand in his own. She looked over at Roxas. Roxas smiled shyly. She smiled shyly back, blushing slightly. Xed then laced her fingers with his. Roxas smiled. Axel and Demyx smiled. This was going well. +++ A little later, Roxas brought Xed up on the Station Tower to watch the sunset with him. They got a chance to talk about everything. About their friends, their interests, their favorites (color, animal, etc.), and anything else they could think of. Xed smiled. “Wow, you can see everything up here.†She said. Roxas nodded. “Yeah…†he smiled. “Psst!†Roxas turned his head to look behind him. Axel and Demyx were there. Demyx was mouthing ‘put your arm around her shoulder’, but Roxas couldn’t tell what he was saying. In fact, Axel couldn’t even tell what Demyx was saying. Roxas shot him a confused look. Demyx thought a moment, and then got an idea. He then put his arm around Axel’s shoulder and pointed at him. Roxas nodded, understanding what he was telling him. Unfortunately, Axel didn’t know what he was doing. He pushed Demyx’s arm off of his shoulder, and pushed Demyx, mouthing ‘what the smoof do you think you’re doing?’. Demyx tried to explain, but Axel pushed him again. Demyx pushed back. Soon, the two were pushing and hitting each other silently. Roxas chucked silently. He looked back at Xed, who was still staring out at the sky. He stretched his arm out, pretending to yawn, and put him arm around her shoulder. Xed chuckled. “Pretty old trick.†She said, looking at Roxas, smiling. He smiled back nervously. She leaned against his him and put her head on his shoulder. Roxas smiled. “Pretty old trick yourself.†He said slyly. She smiled. “Well, it worked, didn’t it?†Roxas smiled wider. The two sat there in silence, watching the sun sink into the sky, while Axel and Demyx silently fought each other behind them. +++ The two arrived back at the Caste around 7:00 p.m. Axel and Demyx had gone ahead of them, and were waiting inside so Xed wouldn’t seen them. They walkehe door, still holding hands. “Today was fun.†Xed said, smiling, looking up at Roxas. Even in the darkness of the sky, he could still see her warm gray eyes and her warm smile. He could feel himself blush, just by looking at her. “Yeah.†He said, looking away to hide his red face, incase she could see. Xed looked away too. “Xed?†he said softly. “Mmhmm?†“Maybe…we could…you know…go out again sometime?†Xed smiled. “Sure!†Roxas smiled back. They arrived at the door. “But Roxas?†she said. He looked at her. “Yeah?†“Next time, tell Axel and Demyx to stay here.†The two laughed, and went inside the Castle.

The 14th Key ~ Chapter 7 Chapter 7! I'm REAL sorry that ch 7 didn't come out last night. I had to type a HUGE paper for a history project at my school (I had to type 8 stinking pages, a bibliography, and a works sited page) And quite frankly, i was sick of typing after that >:P (I typed from 1:00 pm to 5:16 pm) But here's the chapter, so enjoy! :D ~Chapter 7~ There was nothing but silence in the outside battle area. Xed dismissed her two remaining Keyblades and bent down towards Roxas, extending a hand to help him up. Roxas took the hand and let her help him up. Clap. Clap. Clap. Roxas and Xed looked over at Xemnas, who was clapping slowly, with an impressed smile set on his face. Demyx nodded and started clapping wildly. “WAY TO GO XED AND ROXAS!†he yelled. Axel clapped as well. “That was AWESOME!†He shouted. Soon, everyone was clapping and cheering and whooping loudly for the two Keybladers. Xed and Roxas smiled and started laughing softly, panting hard for breath. They had been fighting so hard; they hadn’t even realized they had grown exhausted. “Roxas?†Xed said softly. “Yea?†he replied. “You can let go of my hand now.†Roxas looked down to see that his hand was still holding hers. He pulled his hand away quickly and looked in the opposite direction, blushing slightly. Out of the corner of his eye he could’ve promised that she was blushing too. The two of them walked out of the gate and joined the others, where they received pats on their backs and praise. “That was amazing!†“How’d you do that, Xed?†“You guys both fought really well!!†“Roxas, that was really awesome how you blocked all of those attacks!†“Where’d you learn to fight like that?†“That was seriously one of the best fights I’ve ever seen!†“Hate to say it, but you two were really good!†Xed and Roxas could only smile at their compliments. Xed turned towards Roxas. “Roxas, you’re a really amazing fighter!†she said. Roxas felt himself blush slightly. He scratched the back of his head, smiling. “What are you talking about? You were the amazing one!†he said. Xed rolled her eyes and smiled. “I’ve faced a lot of people, but you are pretty much the only one who’s put up a good fight.†She smiled again. “You actually were a challenge.†Roxas smiled. “But how’d you learn to fight with 14 Keyblades? And when did you get a Keyblade?†Xed shrugged. “I don’t remember when I got it, but come on, Roxas.†She said, shaking her head. “I create weapons, and I’ve got to fight with them to see if they serve their purpose. I get a lot of practice.†Roxas nodded. “You design Keyblades too?†Xed nodded, smiling widely. “Sure do!†she said. “Can I see?†Roxas asked. “Sure!†She said, blushing slightly. Once again, she had sounded much more excited than she wanted to. The two of them started walking towards the castle, Axel and Demyx following them. Everyone went off to do their own thing. Saix walked up to Xemnas. “That was rather impressive.†Saix said. Xemnas crossed his arms. “Very.†He said. He had a look on his face, as if he were deep in thought. Saix noticed this. “I know that look.†He said. “What’re you thinking about?†Xemnas smiled slowly, slyly. “Nothing worth mentioning.†He said. “Yet…†+++ Back in the Weapons Workshop, Xed had pulled out a large sketchpad and handed it to Roxas, who held it up so that Demyx and Axel could see it. He started to flip through it. While they were looking, Xed was working on what was to be Vexen’s new shield. “Xed, these are awesome!†Roxas said. Demyx nodded, smiling. “Really cool!†Axel nodded as well. “Sweet!†Xed smiled. Roxas looked up at her. “Have you made all of these?†he asked. She shook her head. “Not yet; I’ve made most of them.†She walked away from the shield and walked over to a nearby shelf. She pulled out a medium sized dark blue colored box. She walked back over to the guys. “These are the ones I’ve made.†She said, opening the box. Axel, Demyx, and Roxas’ eyes widened as they looked inside. Inside the box was roughly a hundred Keychains, of all different sizes, colors, and designs. “Woah…†Roxas said. “Can I hold one?†Xed nodded, and set the box on the desk. Roxas pulled out a long, gray chain with a Silver Star charm at the end. Xed looked over at him. “I call that one Shattered Star.†She said, returning to her work on the shield. “Attach it to your Keyblade.†Roxas summoned his Oathkeeper Keyblade and hooked the Keychain to the end. His weapon immediately changed to a shiny silver color, with a cluster of silver stars as the blade. Axel whistled. “Wow.†He said. Xed smiled, not looking up from her work. Roxas unhooked the Keychain, and his weapon turned back into its regular state. “What’s this?†Demyx asked. Everyone looked at him. He was still looking at the sketchpad of Keyblades. His eyes were skimming a page entitled ‘Organization Keys’. Xed walked over to him and looked at the page. She smiled and blushed, slightly embarrassed. “Oh, those are some Keyblades I designed after you guys. I based them off your weapons and elements.†She said sheepishly. Immediately, Axel and Roxas rushed over to look for which Keyblade represented them. “Oh sweet!†Axel said. “Mine’s called Flaming Furry! That’s awesome, got it memorized?†Xed smiled. “Cool! I like mine!†Demyx said. “Dance of Defeat. I liked it!†Xed shrugged. “I like it too, but it’s designed so you play it like a guitar. And I can’t play the guitar.†She said, looking at the ground. Demyx put an arm around her shoulder. “Hey, I can teach you!†he said. She looked up at him. “Really?†Demyx nodded. “Yeah! It’ll be fun!†he said. She smiled. “Okay!†“Hey Xed?†Roxas said. “Yeah?†she replied. “Where’s my Keyblade?†Roxas has still been looking at the page, looking it over and over, but still hadn’t found his yet. Xed blushed again, this time a little more noticeable. “Well…your Keyblade is…special…†She said, sounding embarrassed. “Yours is different than everyone else’s.†Roxas cocked his head. “Why?†he asked. Xed shrugged. “I don’t know, when I was designing these, I just felt that yours should be…special.†She said. Roxas blushed. He had no idea why. Xed then went back over to the shelf where she had pulled out the other Keychains, and pulled out a small glass case. She walked back over to them. “These,†she said, placing the case on her desk, “Are my most special, and most dangerous Keychains.†Axel, Demyx, and Roxas nodded. She looked up at them. “If these fall into the wrong hands, there’d be trouble. So no telling anyone about these, okay?†The three of them nodded again. She smiled. She opened the case, revealing about ten Keychains. Roxas looked at them. One of them had a Heartless emblem on it. “What’s that one?†he asked, pointing to it. Xed picked it up. “This one is one of my most dangerous Keyblades. It is a perfect replica of the Keyblade that can release Hearts.†She said, almost a whisper. “One stab with this, and you’re on your way to darkness, no doubt about it.†She said. Roxas shuddered slightly. That Keyblade…the one she was talking about…he’d seen it before in a dream… Xed then picked up another Keychain and handed it to Roxas. “This one is your Keyblade: Devoted Hearts.†She said, smiling. Roxas looked at it. The chain on it was a mix of dark purple and bright gold. At the end was a Heart, half purple, half gold. “You can put it on.†She said. Roxas nodded, and placed it on his Oathkeeper. There was a flash of white, and when it cleared, Axel, Roxas, and Demyx gasped in unison. His Keyblade was now a silver color. On one side of the blade were dark purple wires, swirling into heart shapes. One the opposite side was the same thing, except with gold wires. The blade itself was a swirled silver heart, with gold and purple intertwined in it. It was stunning. “This is…amazing…†Roxas said breathlessly, holding the Keyblade out at arm’s length to examine it. “Why’s it so special?†Axel asked. Xed looked up at him. “I designed it to be twilight.†Everyone cocked their heads in puzzlement. “Twilight?†Demyx asked. Xed nodded. “You see, twilight is a perfect balance of dark and light. It’s connected so closely that there is no void, but is set apart so that they never mix. The perfect balance.†She said, smiling. Axel nodded. “You know Roxas,†Xed said, walking up to him, “you can keep that…†Roxas’ eyes widened. “Really?†he asked excited. Xed nodded. “Yep. For 89,000 munny.†She said with a smile. Axel, Roxas, and Demyx turned towards her; their mouths open in surprise. “89,000???†Axel said. Xed laughed. “Yeah, I make money off of selling my weapons.†She said. “That, and charging money for fixing them.†“How come you didn’t charge us?†Roxas asked, unhooking the Keychain from his weapon, still holding it in his hand. Xed shrugged. “I’m not sure…I guess I didn’t want to. It’s not often I don’t charge money. But you guys just seemed…†she shook her head, at a loss for words. “I’m not sure.†“Well, we should get going, so that you can finish your work.†Demyx said. Xed nodded. you later!†Axel said, walking out of the room, Demyx following him. Roxas handed the Keychain back to her. He was sort of sad to have to part with such a magnificent weapon. “Hey,†Xed said softly, sensing his disappointment. Roxas looked up into her soft, faded gray eyes, and at her warm, smiling face. Roxas smiled back. “You know, one day,†she said. “You might get that Keychain from me.†Roxas shook his head, smiling, as he walked out of the room. He stopped in the doorway and turned to face Xed. “And when will that be?†he asked. Xed chuckled softly. “When you have a Devoted Heart…†she said. He smiled and closed the door behind him. But, he thought, I already have one...
