 "Hey, Saix you b*****d!" Axel put a protective arm around Demyx and moved him behind himself and a little farther away from rampaging Saix and his claymore. "Watch where you're swinging that hing! He's just a kid!" He shook his fist at the berzerker, tail bristling. Screw him! If he was gonna pick a fight with some kid they hadn't even met yet, then he sure as hell wasn't gonna stand by and watch!
Although, there was always that chance that Demyx would get hurt. Axel growled. You can't protect everyone!

"EEP!!"
Demyx stared in surprise as Saix immediately went berserk on the poor new guy. Sheesh, what had he done to deserve that?? But Xigbar seemed to be in control of the situation...hopefully.
Moments later, he found himself behind Axel, who was bristling as he watched the fight. This wasn't good...if Axel went up against Saix, Saix would most likely get pissed and separate them again. He spoke quietly to Axel, hoping to keep him from joining the fight.
"Axel...don't...Xigbar will handle it..."
Fidgeting now more from nervousness than excitement, the blonde edged closer to Axel. The larger red head always made him feel safer.

Saix slipped and groaned, he was still in pain from the sparring match, but he would get this kid. This kid...there was so much anger directed at that thing he carried. "Out of the way Xigbar! I'm going to murder this kid! He deserves it! THAT THING!" Saix pointed. "THAT THING! THAT HORRIBLE THING! I remember what it did! It hurt us all! He will use it to hurt us again! KILL HIM! KILL HIM NOW WHILE WE HAVE A CHANCE!"

 He blinked, unsure of what exactly had happened. One minute he was standing there, and now he was .... somewhere else?! It then occured to him that the others were not angry at him and shockingly even defending him against the crazy blue-haired one. The eyepatched one seemed more understanding though, he felt himself edging a bit closer, as if trying to seek security through their strong stature. "But..." he faltered, trying to address the aggressor, wincing at being called a 'thing' "... this key thing just appeared out of nowhere! I dont know where it came from, I'm trying to get rid of it myself. And how can I hurt you when I dont even know you guys?!" Plus, as the red-haired one had said, he really was just a kid: some part of him felt like curling up and doing ... something.. but he couldn't place what it was properly.

Xigbar growled, his weapon now leveled at Saix and aimed square between his eyes.
"Back off, Saix, or I'll put a hole in your head to match the one in your chest."
That being said he was just as warry of the kid as Saix was, he just wasn't going to kill him for it. He didn't really want to be any closer to him either and to that end he stepped away from Roxas and toward Saix. The action would also place himself between the two to prevent another attempted attack.
However despite the uneasiness he felt, he knew he remembered Xemnas bringing that one into the organization, therefore killing or even harming him right now would be an act against the superior, and that could not be tolerated. There was something about that key, something they needed it for... Was it something to do with their hearts?
"Have you forgotten it was Xemnas that found Roxas? He's here for a reason, just like you are!"

Axel relaxed noticeably, and leaned into Demyx. "You're right," he said, resigned. Xigbar would handle it. And if he did step in, it would most likely only get the two separated again. Demyx being Axel's only real friend around here, well, he really didn't want that to happen.
And what was Saix talking about, he'll hurt us again? Axel's head reeled. "Something...bad hapenned here. With him." he whispered, mostly to himself, but loud enough for Demyx to hear. "Saix is right, for once, the big lummox." Poor kid though. He wanted it to be different this time. He'd make sure it was different this time!
He can't protect everyone, but if he tried...he could protect just two, right? He'd be allowed that much this time, maybe. If he really tried.

Demyx watched the scene with Axel, remaining close by his side.
"I....dunno. But that key thingy..."
The blonde looked at the kid carrying it, tilting his head slightly.
"I don't like it...it's not the kid though...it's the thing itself. And I feel like it's connected to us...I told you in the past I felt really really disappointed right? Well I think that has something to do with it..."
Demyx let out a sigh, bangs moving slightly.
"I just don't know what they have to do with each other...This really sucks..."Puff let out a small myuu, nuzzling against Dem a bit before settling down in the blonde's hood."Heh...Puff seems concerned too..."

Saix growled. "Back off?! BACK OFF?! I'm not going to just sit here and wait to be killed Xigbar! You can! I don't give a s**t what you do with yourself! That's your choice! BUT I WILL NOT DIE AT THE HANDS OF A CHILD!" That feeling of sorrow, or what Saix imagined was sorrow came around. A small tear rolled down Saix cheek, not many, just one single tear. Weither it was from frustration or from something else, Saix couldn't tell, he had long forgotten his humanity. "IF YOU ALL WANT TO DIE! FINE!" Saix stormed off, slamming his claymore into the wall and dragging it through the wall as he ran to get away and plot his revenge. "YOU'LL SEE I WAS RIGHT XIGBAR! YOU WILL SEE!"

He glanced around, looking from the red-head to the blonde to the reasonable scarred one, one hand unconsciously tightening against the grip of the item in his hand. He didn't understand this, why were people talking about dying?! He felt like he was being judged; maybe he wasn't good enough, and the feeling of unbelonging roiled in his stomach, somehow familiar. Something passed through him, a flash of anger. "I GIVE UP" He angrily tossed the key thing onto the ground, letting it skitter against the floor when- - it showed up again in his hand with a flash of light. He trembled, scared and frustrated at the same time. "Dont you get it? I dont want this key thing, I didn't want to see you guys in the first place because I was afraid of this. Heck, I'm scared of this thing myself, but it felt right to come here and..." he faltered "... ask you guys for help." Right of course, ask the people that were staring at him nervously was always the bright thing to do.

Xigbar growled low, eye narrowed at Saix. He was acting like a child, and something told the older that he'd have to deal with him later. Since their sparring match there had been an intense anger and hatred stirring in him toward the berserker, but why he wasn't sure. It seemed some memories had been triggered, but he couldn't place them yet.
"Tch...as if that would scare me, there are worse fates than death."
He muttered as he looked down at the report in his hand again, then giving up hope on finishing it at the moment, shoved it back into his pocket.
"Ignore the prima donna, he's always like that."
While the others had feelings of death, fear, or disappointment at the sight of the keyblade, there was something else about it that gnawed at Xigbar. Yes, he remembered that they needed it for something, but he also remembered it being tied to the cold emptiness he felt inside.

Saix, crying? Axel blinked. Naw. He musta seen that wrong.
Axel frowned. The little guy looked scared out of his pants. ((axel: *grumbles* i wish..*)) And how'd he pull that trick with the key thing? Axel could dissipate and reform his chakrams, but not that fast, and definitely not against his will, or he'd have caught his bed on fire eons ago.
Grabbing Demyx by the hand, he tugged him along over to where Roxas stood against the far wall. "Hey! No, dont worry kid! I don't bite....hard." He grinned. Maybe a little too wolfsihly. He came up short a few feet away from the younger blonde, trying not to spook him too badly. "Don't mind the big idiot with the sword." He said, jerking a thumb in the direction Saix had emoed off to. "He's the resident bully."
Axel pulled Demyx forwad and patted him on the back. "This is Demyx! He's our local clutz and all around nice guy. He likes cookies." Smiling at Demyx as he munched away happily on the last of the cookies Axel had with him, he put out his hand to Roxas. "And I'm Axel, otherwise known as smart a**, hothead, arrogant b*****d. you know, the usuals."
Axel looked at him for a moment longer and tried to smile happier. there really was something about this kid that brought out the 'big brother' in him. If...that was what that felt like. He wasn't too sure. Axel bent over and put a hand beside his mouth. "Psst. This is the part where you introduce yourself..."

"What the...?"
What had gotten into Saix? Even though the guy was a total jerk, Demyx didn't like to see ANYONE upset...and yes, that even included Saix. Maybe he could go find him later and see what his problem was...
But Axel hauling him around took his attention away from Saix's departure. The blonde blinked as he was tugged over to Roxas, and eventually pulled forward and patted by Axel.
"Hiya!"
Demyx, by some miracle, still had a few cookies left, so he held one forward as an offering to Roxas.
"Want a cookie? They're really good!"Puff peeked his head out of Demyx's hood, blinking at Roxas and giving a small myu."Oh! And that's Puffzorz McPuffinstuff...we just call him Puff. He's really friendly!"
Demyx was once again all smiles. This new kid didn't seem so bad...what was Saix's deal anyway?

The strange blue-haired guy leaving had eased him, but a part of him felt sorry for the aggressor. But that was silly, that crazy guy had tried to attack him right? The eyepatched's ones words didn't really reassure him much; especially if he was ever going to meet that angry person again. Though the red-head had told him not to worry, a part of him still felt slightly uneasy. Oh well, best do as they say, who knows what they would do if he didn't. "I'm Roxas." A spark of something surged through him as he looked up at the older red-haired one, and then the spunky blonde the other had grabbed. "Have we... met before?" He did nothing, however, but eye the cookies, unsure as to exactly why he was being offered them, especially since they looked ready to eat him previously.

Xigbar had been standing with his arms crossed watching Axel and Demyx swarm over the new kid. Roxas...Xemnas had found and brought him into the organization....to...use the keyblade. But for what? He was only getting pieces at a time, and it wasn't improving his mood.
Still, there was something...something he didn't like. He may have been Xemnas' recruit, but he couldn't help feeling an anger toward the kid, something he had done, and it didn't involving murder as Saix seemed to think. But it was something...something he had a feeling he liked even less.
May as well tolerate him for now though, at least until Xemnas showed up. So long as he was here, they could use that key...for whatever is they needed it for. The older audio raised his hand in a half wave.
"Xigbar."
It wasn't much of a greeting, but it's all he felt like giving.

Axel blinked. Had they met before? He wasn't sure. "Maybe." he said, then took one of Demyx's cookies and nibbled on it. "Sure you don't want one?" he asked, eyeing Roxas. "Cause if you don't grab one now, Dem'll probably eat them all..."
Axel kept glancing at the key. Something about it did make him a little uneasy, but he couldn't place it. Not yet anyhow. "Gee, if Saix hadn't taken off like that we could have got him to tell us your high-handed title. I'm 'the flurry of dancing flames'. Got it memorized?" Axel stretched out a hand and formed a ball of fire in it, which solidyfied into a chakram, then closed his fist quickly on it, dissipating it again. "Cool, huh?"
