Chapter 2: Where Did That Thief Go?

They went to a few stores and all pointed fingers at Roxas which annoyed Maximum. But that old woman with the cat was nice. But the red haired girl hated the cat. She had to save him and got scratched on the arm.

The group of five reached at the sandlot and saw Fuu, Rai and Vivi. They approached them. They all stood together, Pence, Roxas, Maximum, Hayner and Olette (in that order). Max smirked.

"What's up, vampire, Ria and wittle Vivi!" She said mockingly and the last part in a babyish tone. Hayner laughed at this and they turned to her. Fuu pointed at all of them.

"Thieves." She stated.

'She talks!' Max thought.

"That was low y'know!" Rai showed them the first.

"Oh yeah?" Hayner asked.

"Nice comeback there blondie." Just by hearing his voice made her temper rise; that jerk Seifer! He walked in looking all big and proud. He stopped in front of Max and looked at her.

"Max." He nodded.

"Seifer." She muttered so poisonously.

"Looking stunning as always." He smirked and Roxas growled about to charge at him but the redhead held his hand. She blew some hair from her eyes.

"Well, you look as unattractive as ever." She giggled innocently.

"You can give us back the - now." Seifer declared.

"Yeah, you're the only ones who would take it y'know." Max gasped ironically.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't know that, y'know!" Hayner roared with laughter at his friends little comment.

"That was undeniable proof that we owned you losers!" Seifer pointed at all of them. "So what did you do, burn it?"

"If I had them, I would of stuck 'em up your a-" Roxas covered her mouth from saying anymore and shook his head at her with a warning look. She sighed and he let go. Seifer walked up to his group.

"Not that we need some - to prove your losers."

"Replay." Just by saying one word, Seifer laughed at Fuu's word.

"Now you're talking." The blonde haired jerk said.

"She only said one word." Max mumbled confused.

"If you get down on your knees and beg, maybe I'll let it slide." Roxas sighed at this and walked forward. He took another deep sigh and got to his knees. They laughed at him and the green eyed girl gasped at this. She shook her head at this.

"Roxas!" Hayner shouted out and Max ran to his side.

"Roxy, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Pfft. Looks like your little boyfriend isn't so awesome and cool after all. You need to go out with a real man, Max, one like me, eh? Roxas is just a little coward!" Her fists were trembling and her head snapped up as her eyes were filled with anger.

"Don't you dare say that about Roxas, you jerk!" She roared and Seifer smirked.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?" He asked and they laughed again. The red haired girl noticed a Struggle Sword. She smirked at this and quickly picked it up. The red haired girl aimed the weapon at Seifer and he opened his eyes.

"Ooooh, look everyone! Maxie-Waxie is holding a Struggle Sword and threatening me. You're just a girl!" He laughed and Olette and Maximum glared at him with a growl.

"SO WHAT, YOU SEXIST JERK?!" They roared and the green eyed teens smiled at each other. Max turned to Seifer again with a smirk.

"What? Can't fight a girl?" She asked.

"Never fought a girl before." He stated.

"Good, 'cuz I'm gonna kick your butt." Max muttered and Rai, Vivi, Fuu and Seifer laughed at this. Seifer picked up another Struggle Sword.

"You better not start cryin' to your little Roxy when you lose, 'cuz you've never thought with a Struggle Bat before." He said boastfully and she rolled her eyes at this.

Seifer swung his weapon at she who blocked it. He pushed on her but she didn't budge, not even a bit. They all gasped at this, Max was standing her ground. "Is that all you got?" She asked and pushed him back, swunging the Struggle Sword at him which made him step back.

She starting fighting him and they all watched the enemies. "Isn't this romantic?!" Seifer yelled.

"Oh go and jump a cliff, jerk!" Max said definitely annoyed. Then something started to kick in and she felt herself swinging the Struggle Bat faster and with more force. It felt much lighter and she was so used to it, like fighting with a sword.

A few moments later, Seifer fell onto his knee and panted heavily with beads of sweat falling down his forehead. "Hmph."

He looked extremely and definitely disappointed. Hayner's eyes were wide open and he looked shocked. Pence and Olette looked happy. Roxas looked very proud of his girlfriend. Max just looked like nothing really happy.

"Seifer's just not feelin' so hot, y'know!" Rai exclaimed as he and Fuu stood in front of Seifer and Max smirked at this.

"He was never hot at anything!" She said.

"Tournament decides." Fuu stated and Max kept this in mind.

'Tournament, huh…?' She thought.

"Oh! Seifer got beaten by a girl!" Hayner laughed like a hyena and Olette smiled at her. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes at this whilst shaking their head.

"Hey, Max!" Pence called out and she turned around. He held the camera and Max posed. The red haired girl held her Struggle Sword against her shoulder and had a peace sign with her fingers. She grinned with her eyes open. There was a flash and she relaxed.

Then a grey kind of creature came in and snatched the camera away from Pence. The 'thing' starting doing these cartwheels and turned a corner.

"What was that?" Hayner asked.

"The thief." Olette stated and they started running. But Roxas was much faster and outran them. Max picked up the pace and just about got to the golden haired boy.

They got to the Woods and they stopped. Max rested her palms on her knees, bent over and panted heavily. She composed herself shortly after and stood up straight.

"Come on!" Roxas said and started running again.

'Great, more running.' She thought and followed him.

Outside The Old Mansion, they met up with the thief. It looked really weird, the thief was a creature with a thin and sinuous body shape, a large head and was light grey.

"We have come for you, my lieges."

"Huh?" Roxas asked.

"What?" The grey creature's mouth unzipped and roared. Max jumped at this and gulped. With her Struggle Sword, she ran up to him and there was a flash. Roxas gasped when he saw Max on the ground and the groaning with pain.

Just as the thief was about to jump on her, her love dashed in front of her, defending the red haired girl. Something appeared in his hand; a Keyblade with the main colours being silver and yellow. For some odd reason, the Keyblade was pushing itself to the enemy. Roxas held it with both hands and started fighting the creature.

Max pushed herself up and watched Roxas fighting. 'He looks so hot whenever he's pissed off or determined!' She sighed dreamily and then something appeared in her hand as well. She raised her eyebrows and looked down at her hand. In her hand was a Keyblade. It was Gold, white, and black. shaped elegantly and it had with white feathers.

Just as Roxas defeated the creature, he walked up to Max. "Are you okay?" He asked but she didn't answer him. He followed her gaze and looked at her Keyblade. Then suddenly, their weapons disappeared. She looked at where that thief was and saw pictures on the ground.

"Look!" She pointed and they picked them up.

Usual Spot…

They all stood in a circle and Hayner, Pence and Olette looked at a picture of Roxas and the armour shop's owner.

"What's this?" Hayner asked.

"I was his first customer when he took over the shop, so we took a picture" Roxas answered and Max crossed her arms at this.

"And he doubted you." She whispered to herself.

"It's a really nice photo!" Olette smiled and everyone's eyes widened.

"Hey, you just say photo!" Pence pointed out and the redheaded nobody giggled.

"Photo, photo, photo, yay!" She said like a child and Hayner tilted his head.

"You sound like a little kid." She punched his shoulder at this.

"Oh shut up, idiot!"

"So, Roxas tell us about the thief." Hayner said.

"Well, the pictures were just lying there."

"Then how do we prove that we're not the ones who took 'em?" Hayner growled to himself and looked down at a picture he was holding. "Ooooh, it's a girl with Roxas." The brown eyed teen said in a low tone and Max's eyes widened.

"He looks happy." Pence added and Max gripped onto her fist.

"Do not." Roxas laughed.

"And he's blushing." Hayner sang and the red haired girl grinded her teeth together. She snatched the picture and looked at it. Her face was calm but you could tell that Maximum was pissed to the max. They could actually feel that fearful aura again.

"She's…" she started off murderously and sighed. "…really pretty." She gave the photo back to Hayner and turned to Roxas. "I bet you like her."

"No, I don't like her. I'm in love with the most loveliest, prettiest and awesome girl in my world." He smiled at Max who blushed with a giggle.

"Oh, look at this photo!" Olette said and Roxas and Max looked. It was a photo of her and Setzer. The red haired girl was blushing and smiling very widely with Setzer's coat around her. He had his hands on her shoulders and was very close to her. This made Roxas growl.

"How did you get a photo with him?" Hayner asked.

"I just asked and he said yes." She answered bluntly.

"I think he likes you, Max." Olette nudged her softly.

"Yeah right, whatever." Roxas was slowly losing his patience.

"Of course he likes you. Do you know the amount of girls who asked to take a photo with him? And he's rejected them all but you." The brown haired girl giggled and the redhead smiled.

"Well, there's someone else I have feelings for. He's absolutely amazing, makes my heart beat faster whenever he's around and he makes me happy every day." Roxas looked at her sadly and sighed.

"Aw, that's so romantic!" Olette sighed dreamily.

"He's got blonde hair…"

"Yuck!" Hayner mumbled, Olette punched him and he shut his mouth.

"…and those beautiful blue eyes that are like Sapphires. Roxy, I love you and only you, no one else." She looked up at him and he smiled at her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him.

"Come here you." She laughed at this and he pressed his lips on hers. Olette clasped her hands together.

"Isn't this romantic?" She asked.

"No, it's disgusting." Hayner answered and she rolled her eyes at this. The love birds pulled away and Pence scratched his head.

"Um, I don't know if you guys have noticed yet but all the stolen photos are of Max and Roxas." He said.

"Oh!" Olette realised. "So that's why everyone thought it was us."

"And Seifer didn't go around accusing us after all." Hayner said.

"That jerk, even if he didn't I sure kicked his butt!" Max smirked.

"So, Pence are all the pictures of me and Max?" Roxas asked.

"See." Hayner mumbled. They showed a picture of them. The blonde haired boy's arms were around her waist securely and they were kissing. The pair blushed at this.

"Look." Olette said. Another photo was of Roxas on the ground from being defeated by Seifer. Max was holding her enemy by the collar and had her fist in the air, threatening him. They all snickered at this.

"Right?" Pence asked. This picture made both of them smile. It was outside The Old Mansion gates. Hayner, Pence, Roxas, Max and Olette stood together. The red haired girl linked arms with Olette and held hands with her boyfriend.

"What if the thief wanted to steal the real Maximum and the real Roxas?" Pence questioned.

"I wouldn't let him touch me." Max muttered murderously and they all felt chills going down their spines.

"Come on, get serious!" Hayner said. "Why would anyone want to steal a bonehead like Roxas? And who would be brave enough to steal Max without getting killed?" He asked.

"Oh thanks!" Roxas exclaimed.

"Yeah, we really appreciate the compliment!" Maximum said sarcastically and they all laughed. Then the laughter died down when they heard the chimes of the Clock Tower. They all looked up and Max felt Roxas kiss her cheek.

"Bye, Olette!" Max waved and giggled.

"See ya, Max." Olette, Hayner and Pence left and it was just Max and Roxas. The red haired nobody pointed at Roxas accusingly.

"You're a thief!"

"What have I stolen?" Roxas asked curiously and her hand returned to her side.

"My heart…" Max mumbled sheepishly and he smiled at this. The golden haired teen placed his hand on her cheek and she looked up at him.

"If I have beautiful blue eyes that are like Sapphires, then you have gorgeous green eyes that are like Emeralds." She blushed at this and he pecked her lips. He pulled away quickly and she pouted at this. "We can do that at home and maybe…much more, if you want…" He said in a seductive tone. She averted her eyes to the ground blushing and he took her hand.

They walked out of the Usual Spot and bright rays of the sun made both Roxas and Max cover their eyes.

"Where…am I?" A gentle voice asked.

"Who's there?" Roxas questioned.

"Who…are you?"

"Huh…why is it so…dark?" A voice so energetic and enthusiastic but soothing said.

"Wait, who's there?" Max sounded curious.

"Me…but, who are…you?"

"Organisation miscreants, they've found us." A man in red said as he sat in front of a computer.

"But…why would the Nobodies steal photographs?" A teenage boy with silver hair and a blindfold asked.

"Both are nothing but data to them." The man answered. "The fools could never tell the difference. We are running out of time. Naminé must make haste." The mysterious man turned to the silver haired teen. "Have you found Rin yet?"

"No, I haven't." The blindfolded boy said.

"She looks just like the Princess, but much older and she has violet eyes. You need to find her soon."

"Does she wield a Keyblade?"

"Yes." The man in red replied. "She's very important. Rin was one of those children with light in their hearts who rebuilt the world."

"Is she anything like the Princess?" The teen asked.

"I highly doubt it. Only the hair, I would say…" he slightly blushed but the silverette can sense it and he smiled.

"I do the best I can."
