A Reason To Smile

Chapter 1: A New World

Once again, you were sitting in your cell. This had been your routine for the past few weeks. Wake up, sit on your bed, then sleep again. But a few days ago, you were found by a blonde haired boy. He introduced himself as Roxas. After conversing with each other for a while, he left you some food and left. The next day, he came back but wasn't alone. With him he had brought a fiery-red haired man, and a black haired girl named Axel and Xion. they too wore the signature black coat that you and Roxas wore.

Today was one of those days. You woke up and after waiting a few hours, they showed up again.

Roxas: Hey Y/n!

Y/n. That was the name they had given you. You were honestly surprised when they gave it to you. You were supposed to be forgotten, not being visited by these three. But after a while they became your...what was the word again? Friends, that's it. But they had a little surprise for you. Each of them took out something that was light blue, and impaled on a stick. Roxas took out a fourth one and handed it to you through the bars.

Roxas: Here, its called sea-salt ice cream. It's good, try it.

You gently reached out and took it from his hand. You looked at it for a while and sniffed it. You couldn't really smell anything from it. You cautiously brought it to your mouth and took a bite. The flavor was...Interesting to say the least.

Y/n: Salty, but sweet. I like it.

Axel quickly pumped the air in joy. Xion only giggled.

Axel: Told you he'd like it!

Roxas: I never said he wouldn't. I just said that it would take him a while, like I did.

You smile gently as the two continued their small bickering, before Xion managed to stop them. The four of you talk for a long time, as they didn't have to deal with any Heartless. You realized something from the moment you were created to now. You kept having a warm feeling when you were around these three. Was this what Axel called happiness? When they left, and after tossing and turning for half an hour on your uncomfortable mattress, you managed to fall asleep. But for the first time, your sleep wasn't dreamless. Well, not exactly a dream, but you heard a voice, repeating a word over and over.

    ...Keyblade...

                                                                                                                  ...Keyblade...

                                             ...Keyblade...

You wake up the next morning. You remember the word that kept repeating in your sleep. What is a Keyblade? Well, whatever you sat up and stared at the wall while you waited for the others to show up. But they didn't. Neither did they the next day. Or the day after that. A month passed, but Roxas nor Axel showed up. Huh, that's weird, you could have sworn that there was someone else that hung out with them. But it was all fuzzy. You heard the door to the dungeons open, and you thought that it was them.

Until the figures walked to your cell to reveal that they were Dusks, the lowest ranking of the Nobodies. Their zipper-like mouths opened and their arms began to stretch into your cell. Scared, you began to back up as far as you could in your cell. Once their arms got close to you, two rings of fire flew past and sliced through the Dusks. The fires went back into the hands of Axel.

Y/n: Axel? What's going on?

Axel: Everything is wrong. Roxas left, the Organization is falling apart, and I just found out why you were trapped in here. I thought that you were hear to be used as a last resort against the Heartless. But no, the locked someone up after Xemnas called you a failed creation. Well not any longer.
