Roxas usually kept to himself. He was a quiet person by nature and he had no real friends besides a girl named Olette. They were close, and often hung out in the library after school. People always asked if they were going out, but they weren't; Olette was the only one who knew about Roxas's Sexual Orientation.

He was Bi. Not all bad, since his older brother, Demyx, was gay as a rainbow and his sister Larxene was a complete dyke (a term he used with much love). He thought it was funny when she started hanging out with a man named Marluxia who was more of a girl than she was. They completed each other.

But Roxas hadn't really told anyone. Who could he? His sister was a bitch and Demyx would fuss like the mom they didn't have. Besides, Dem was busy being with his Emo friends. His Dad was always gone away on trips and his mom was a no-show. He wasn't even sure if she was alive.

But, back on topic; Roxas spent his time in the library. He had gotten a call from Olette that she couldn't come because she had a Student Council meeting. So, Roxas looked through books to entertain him.

It was an accident...

There was a book laying on the ground, partically under a book shelf. It was leather, with no title or anything. It was big and looked like someone had thrown it there in a hurry. Roxas was curious; he had to see what it was, so he picked it up.

"Young man!"

Roxas jumped, holding the book tightly. A librarian was standing there, looking somewhat annoyed.

"Didn't you hear? We have to close earlier because of the storm."

Storm...the hurricane. He remembered. He felt nervous since he had to walk home alone. He always had someone with him. Larxene, Demyx, Olette...but they all had somewhere to be. It made him feel lonely.
"What's that you got there?"

The librarian looked the book he had over before she shrugged. "Not one of ours. Now, get home."

Roxas nodded and took off. He ran all the way home before locking himself in his room. Panting, he looked down at the book. If it wasn't a library book, then what was it?

Shrugging, he placed it on his desk and turned on a light. Larxene was staying with Marly since school was canceled with the hurricane and Demyx was with his Emo friends somewhere, probably lighting some place on fire.

'Don't think like that. Dem wouldn't do that,' he thought. Sighing, he sat at his desk and started a staring contest with the book. 'What is this? Why was it in the library if it doesn't belong there?' He sighed again, hearing rain pouring outside. It was rare in Twilight Town.

Shaking his head, Roxas opened the book. He blinked; there was something written in the upper left corner.

Property of Akuseru Kurai

Odd, Roxas had never heard that name before. Twilight Town was big, but you still knew everyone. He shrugged. Maybe it was old. He turned the page and blushed. It was a journal! He really shouldn't read it...

His curiosity won.

'Date: 12/25/05

'This is so fucking stupid. I can't believe I'm actually going to write in a fucking diary...Screw it, I'm calling it a journal. Sounds better than diary. Why would someone write in something that sounds like dairy?

'God, now I want something to drink. ANYWAY I have to write this thing because my stupid Shrink said it'd do me good to get "all the bad thoughts out of my mind". Please, now I want to light something on fire again.'

Odd, Roxas remembered a fire around this time. It was the first weekend of December. It had been a bad one too. One that started with the Elementary School before it caught neighboring houses. Was this person the cause?

'Obviously, I got caught. Mom almost had a heart-attack and I think she nearlycried and started screaming about 'what the neighbors would think'. Yeah, well, I don't give a rats ass about neighbors. So, I'm now seeing a shrink and have Anger Managment classes. They're not too bad since I met some cool people there.

'I'm not sure what I'm suppose to write in this damn thing. Feelings? HA Like I even have those. This shrink isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Good, I hate bright colors. They melt eaily.'

Roxas stared at the pages for a long time. This guy was freaking psycho! He lit a place on fire and was obviously a pyro. AND he had anger problems. The blond wondered if he should continue reading. Once again, curiosity won him over and he turned the page.

'Date: 12/30/05

'I forgot about this thing. Eh, no loss here. The only reason I'm writing in this thing is because if I don't, Mom's gonna start with the crying and bitchin and then Dad gets pushy.

'I swear I'm adopted.

'Well, the Anger Classes REALLY aren't helping and the only reason I keep going is because Dad's not paying for them. I swear, for the richest man in town, he's a cheap-skate. Bastard.

'Well, I'm done. Screw you assholes later. And Demmikku, I'm talking to you. (Peace sign)'

Well, wasn't he a bright ray of sunshine. And who was Demmikku? Roxas shook his head. It wasn't any of his business, even though he was reading this. The hypocritcy made him laugh and he turned the page and gaped. There were burnt marks all over. Feeling anxious, he began to read.

'That bastard He killed her! She didn't do anything! I've never felt like this before. I have no idea what to do. I've got to get out of this house. Fuck it, I'm going to Zeku's house. He'll let me stay there for awhile. I can't believe this piece of shit journal is actually making me feel better...

'Good, he's letting me stay. The police came and are trying to pin it all on me, but Dad admitted it. He killed her. I feel so -'

There wasn't anything after that. Roxas felt anxious now. His Dad had killed someone? Who was 'she'? He felt his fingers twitching now. He wanted to continue reading...

"I shouldn't...I really shouldn't." Roxas whispered.

He sighed, getting up and going downstairs. He made himself a sandwitch since he was banned from making anything since he had almost destroyed the kitchen when he had tried to make water boil.

I kid you not.

Roxas mumbled under his breathe. He jumped when the phone rang, forgetting that no one was home. He picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hiya Roxas!"

Roxas sighed. "What, Demyx?"

Demyx pouted, he couldfeel it. "Aww, that's not nice. Anyway, I'm going to be home soon, okay? Larxy won't be home until the storm blows over and I know you can't cook."

"Thanks."

"No problem! I'll be there in...fifteen minutes? Oh, and Olette's mom called me and asked if she couldn't stay. They've got family over in Radiant Garden and she wants Olette to stay home if schools open again."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Okay Dem."

"She should be there any minute. See ya!"

The phone beeped, meaning Demyx had hung up on him...as usual. Roxas sighed again, smiling. Demyx always made him smile...unless he was being a douche. But at least he wouldn't be here alone now.
