Sora sat outside, under the shade of a sakura tree. The pink blossoms swayed in the breeze and sunlight flitted through its slender branches. Pink petals cascaded around him, but he didn't even flinch. His dark blue eyes were blank as he continued to stare out into space, thinking about the recent events that had occurred…
"Hey, guys!" He looked up to see Tai bounding towards them. He was sitting on the front steps of Tai's mansion with Riku, Kairi, Namine, and Roxas. They were relaxing in the sun, talking about the past, and enjoying some ice cream since it was such a hot, sunny afternoon. He waved to Tai as she came closer and closer. After mere moments, she had already reached the porch. Even after that sprint, she was only breathing lightly and completely unfazed. Her athletic skills are amazingly high, definitely off the charts, thought Sora, feeling a bit envious. Tai's blue eyes sparkled brightly as they caught some of the sun's brilliant rays.
"Have any of you guys seen Axel?" Tai asked. "He didn't show up for training today, so the others got kind of worried."
"Oh, you're looking for Ax?" Sora jerked his head towards the door. "He was hanging out with us just a moment ago, but then he said he felt sick and headed inside to take a nap." He thought he saw a flash of worry in Tai's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by relief so he couldn't really tell.
"Is that so? For a moment there I thought he was slacking off again. Since he's not feeling well I should probably go check on him." Tai bent her knees and sprang forward, sailing high over their heads and landed lightly on the porch space behind them. Startled, Sora tumbled backwards and fell flat on his back.
"It's called walking," he growled playfully. He heard a light chuckle from Tai, a giggle from Namine, and stifled laughter from Kairi, Riku, and Roxas.
"I'll try to remember that," laughed Tai, but as soon as she opened the door, Sora heard a sharp intake of breath from her. "Axel!" She bolted through the door and into the main lounge. Alarmed, Sora clumsily scrambled to his feet. However, the others, much faster than him, were already inside, kneeling besides Tai over the limp body on the ground. As Sora shakily approached, he saw Tai fumbling with a handkerchief. She began wiping something off of Axel's lips. As he came even closer, he saw that the white, embroidered cloth was tainted with blood, and that some of it had stained Tai's sleeves. He felt slightly nauseous when he saw the red droplets splattered all over the ground. There was a small, crimson pool in the palm of Axel's hand.
Sora felt his throat constrict and his heart sink. Kneeling, he glanced over at Roxas. Tears streamed down the blond boy's eyes as he cradled Axel's head, sniffing. He and Axel were best friends, almost like brothers, and if anyone, he would be the one to suffer the most. Even though Roxas was his Nobody, their bond had never been closer than merely friends. After all, Nobodies weren't supposed to have feelings anyways. It was Tai who had bestowed them with emotions, giving each of them a heart as well. Axel's ragged breathing woke Sora and he flicked his attention back to the present. Axel's breath came out in short gasps and his face was contorted with pain and discomfort. Tai murmured soothingly to him and brushed her fingertips over his forehead, while cleaning up the scarlet beads scattered across the floor.
After wiping up most of the mess, she returned her full attention to Axel. Gently prying Roxas's fingers off his neck, she lifted Axel up lightly as is he were a mere infant, his head cradled on her shoulder. In one fluid motion, Tai hurdled through the air, swung over the railing, and landed lightly on her feet on the second floor of the building.
"I'm going to heal Axel, okay? I'd prefer it if you didn't bother me. I'll call you when I'm ready." Not waiting for a response, she vanished.
Back in the present, Sora slowly regained his consciousness. An hour had passed since he first dug up the memory. It had been a two weeks since the incident had actually occurred. Maybe I should go see Tai, thought Sora. Not really making up his mind, he sprang up, dusted himself off, and began walking.
