I dragged my feet along the floor, pausing to look at my home one last time. Most of the walls had fallen down, but the door still remained. Particles of dust wafted through the air, illuminated by the sun. Only four hours ago I had a family. Now, I have no-one.

I raised my hand to my cheek, instinctively wiping my cheeks to rid my face of tears. Crying will get you nowhere Roxas, but sometimes it's better to let it out. My mother's gentle voice reverberated through my mind, bringing tears to my eyes. They streamed down my cheeks and down my neck, and this time I did not raise a hand to wipe them. I sniffled.

I turned around and began to walk, shooting one last glance at my house. For a split second, I saw the way it used to be. My parents were stood at the front door, waving at me, my baby brother sitting beside them. My house was still intact and standing tall, casting a shadow over the afternoon sun. Then they all evaporated in dense black columns of smoke, drifting upwards until I could no longer see them.

I looked over sleek black car parked on the sidewalk, and leaning against it was a slender, small woman. She smiled at me, and I nodded once in retaliation. I didn't feel like pretending to smile now. She opened the car door for me, and patted my back.

"I know how hard this is for you Roxas" I sighed. No she didn't. No-one could know how hard this is.

Nobody could ever imagine the terror I felt as I approached my ruined home, realising that it had burnt down. Having to try to get anyone's attention, so they could tell me where my family was. I already knew. Having to sit there and listen to a stranger tell me what happened, and then walking off.

Realising that your family was gone, wanting to say sorry for the argument you caused before you left, thinking this was your entire fault and wishing you'd died with them. Now there was no-one to tuck me in at night, no one to soothe my nightmares, no one to cuddle me as I cried. It was all gone.

She smiled again and cocked her head towards the car, and I willingly obliged and ducked my head under the doorframe. I got myself settled in a comfortable position, leaning my head against the glass. It had begun to rain; my breath was making patterns on the window. It was cold, but it helped calm me. I felt the front door slam as she turned the keys in the ignition, making the car rumble underneath my feet as she pushed down on the pedal.

I felt the tears sliding down my face more, but I refused to wipe them away. I heard her trying to make conversation a couple of times, but I didn't respond. She sighed and pulled up at the agency, getting out of the car door and slamming it shut. She pushed out her umbrella and held it over her head. It was still raining.

She walked round to my door and gestured for me to remove my head from the glass. I pulled it back and she opened it for me. I stepped out into the rain, feeling my blonde spikes sticking to my head. I could sympathize with the rain, it was crying with me. She tried to pull me under her umbrella, but I shook my head. She shrugged and walked ahead, obviously deciding to give me a moment.

I stared into the grey sky, watching the raindrops fall. I heard her clear her throat and I swivelled around to look at her as she walked through big glass doors.

"This way please, Roxas, you're getting soaked" She simply stated, smiling again as if she cared. Yeah. As if. I smiled brokenly, feeling as if my heart was cracking in the middle.

*flashback*

"Come on Roxy, smile for me!" My little brother asked me, his big blue eyes shining as he looked up at me. He pulled on my hand, making me get down on my knees as I chuckled silently. I willingly got down on my knees, playing along with him. He pushed his little chubby fingers into the corner of my mouth, pushing them up so I smiled.

"There!" He stated simply, taking his fingers away from my mouth, but my smile remained.

"Well done Joshy" I cooed, grinning at him as my pessimistic mood vanished instantly. He always made me smile. I got up off my knees, dusting them as I stood upright. I ruffled his silky brown spikes, like just like mine but most of them where pointed diagonally in a cute disarray of spikes. He had ads eyes, like me. But his were lighter, the same shade as Cloud's.

"Let's go play" I said, smiling at him as he took my hand.

"Yeah, yeah!" he shouted enthusiastically, bouncing up and down in excitement. I laughed at him as I gently tugged him in the direction of the play room.

*Flashback over*

More tears streamed down my face, blending in with the rain. I simply nodded at her, proceeding to walk through the doors. I blinked a few times to rid my eyes of tears, and took in a few shuddering breaths as I sat down.

"Wait here" she called to me, walking down the corridor towards a pair of wooden doors at the end.

I sat back and folded my hands behind my head, playing with one of my spikes at the back. I closed my eyes and let sleep succumb to me.
