In the Next Life
Summery
"Let meet again in the next life."
"Yeah, I'll be waiting.
What happens if there is a next life? What would happen? After the Keyblade War, after Castle Oblivion, after everything. Even after Xion's replacement's destruction. Will Organization XIII rise again, if they do it will be with or without Rixak. Will the new XVI member remember her past before Xemnas orders her destruction.
Chapter 1
It was just a Dream, right?
Unknown
"Darkness?"
Looking around there in the distance was a bright, hopeful white light. "But what's that?" Reaching forward toward the enlightenment the distance became short, the light engulfing my being with in a matter of seconds.
'Open your eyes, me Lady,' suddenly out of nowhere light came into sight. Upon opening my eyes I noticed I was in my room, finally realizing the light had come from the window. I sat up groaning and rubbing my face, recognizing what had woke me up. The annoying tapping of rocks being thrown against my window above my bed.
"What the hell," I mutter as I look out the window. There upon the street below were two teenage boys, one about 19, and the other about 16, my age. The fiery spiked ponytailed 19 year old was surprisingly lanky for the job he had, however he was quite muscular. He wore a black shirt with the sleeves and neck hole torn, so his shoulders showed, along with a longer red shirt underneath. His cargo pants hung loosely on his hips, so much so that he had to wear a black leather belt but even that didn't help much, they just reached the bottom of his knee cap where they tucked under. With a black chain around his neck and upside down teardrop tattoos on his face making him look like a total badass, the roman numeral eight only and to the effect. The younger blond teen, who's hair stood up on one side, defying gravity, didn't look as tough, however he is tougher. He wore a black zip up that just barely missed his pants with a white jacket that had red on the shims. His pants also hung loosely, they were black skinny jeans with baggy French grey covers that came to his mid-thigh. He was obviously a skater punk with black studs in his ears, though most would not notice on his left hip a roman numeral thirteen tattoo was placed. There in the hand of the 19 year old was a rock.
Opening the window I yelled, "what do you want, Axel."
"You," responded the 19 year old redhead mechanic.
"I'm so flattered, now tell me what you really want," I shouted sarcastically.
"You at the fountain in five minutes," he grinned. I thought about it for about it for about 5 seconds before yelling "fine" and shutting the window.
Axel
I watched as a 16 year old girl with cool grey-blue and black hair turned back to me, looking down with her cobalt blue eyes with a cerulean line around her pupil yell "fine." When she shut the window I felt a tug on my shirt. I looked down to come face to face with a blond who's hair stuck out on one, his cobalt eyes looking in to mine.
"Yeah," I said gently as I began to walk to the fountain that was on the other side of town.
"We're running out of time, Axel," he said with a stern voice, that one would think it impossible for the blond to muse because of how innocent he looked.
"I know that , Roxas," I smirked thinking of ways to annoy the girl that was coming to meet us.
"So what do we do, tell her?" he asked as he began to look ahead.
My smirk fell at the question, " no, we have to wait for her to remember herself," I said as I watched to make sure I didn't run over any small children.
"But Xenmas…"
"No, if we tell her, her brain might short circuit and send her in to a permanent coma," I said sternly as we arrived at the fountain.
"Ok," he gave in as he pulled himself up to sit on the edge of the side of the fountain.
Rixak
When I finally got my hair to stay up, I ran out the door with my skateboard. Throwing it on the ground and jumping on, I made my way down Market Street, going as fast as possible. When I finally made it to the fountain Axel yelled to me.
"Your late."
" By how much," I questioned still out of breath from the rush over here.
"About three seconds," he grinned.
"You ass, I'm not late," I yelled angrily.
"Calm down, its not my fault that your slow," he chuckled.
"You little,,"
"Shut up you two, your drawing unneeded attention," Roxas said, finally speaking up.
"Oh, hey Roxas," I said letting go of Axel who had been in a choke hold. iBut if I did that I'd draw even more unneeded attention./i "So what I miss," I asked leaning against the fountain with Axel on my left, and Roxas on my right.
"Nothing really," Axel said calmly.
"So what we going to do?" I asked, curious as to why he woke me up.
"Ain't got that far."
"Than why did you wake me up?"
"Cause its fun to annoy you."
"Yo-."
"Hey I got an idea," Roxas chimed in.
"What," I turned to him.
"We can go to the beach tomorrow."
"That a good idea, so today we can earn the money."
"But first, sea salt ice cream," he said as he got off the ledge of the fountain and walked to the ice cream cart.
"Ok," I said, looking out of the corner of my eye over at Axel, wondering if I should tell him about the dreams.
Axel
"Hey, Axel," the girl asked.
"What?" I said looking at her out of the corner of my eye.
"Do you believe in reincarnation," she asked.
"Yeah, why," I raised a brow.
"No reason, just curious,"
'Is she starting to remember!' I was going to ask her why she was interested in reincarnation when Roxas walked back up with Sea Salt Ice Cream. Once we were done we went to Market Street, when Roxas and I were finally alone I told him about what Rixak had said.
"Hey, Rox."
"Yeah."
"She starting to remember," I said seriously.
His eyes went wide, "Really?"
"Yeah, it won't be long now."
"So, soon No. XVI, Rixak, will be back," he stated.
"Yeah, well lets get this over with," I smirked one last time.
Rixak
I woke up late so I rushed to get ready and ran all the way to the fountain. When I got there only Axel was there. I walked over and just to piss him off I sat on his back.
"So where's Roxas?" I ask.
"He'll be here." I sigh as I try to catch my breath as we wait for Roxas.
Roxas
"She's starting to remember," I say to my boss.
"Really, that's good it would have been a shame to have turned her into a dusk," came a deep, mysterious voice that belonged to a dark figure with long flowing silver hair and piercing orange eyes that glowed in the light of the fireplace. " See to it that her progress keeps going smoothly or I'll have no choice but turn he into a dusk," he continued leaning forward to reveal his dark tan skin.
"Yes sir," I say before turning and walking out of the old mansion. Once outside I break into a run, 'I'm so totally late.'
When I finally reach the fountain I tell my friends, "Sorry I'm late."
"No problem," Axel says as he stands up. "Just don't do it again," he continues as he begins toward the station. And as we walked toward the station Rixak starts asking question to piss off Axel.
"So, how's training at the shop?"
"It's ok."
"Your hair hasn't caught on fire yet."
"No," he said as vein began to pop out of the side of head from the irritating questions. Finally we made it to the station and got on the train. However, Rixak thought it would be funny to screw with Axel and put ants on his leg. It was hilarious, but they bitched the whole time after until we got to the "Rent-a-Surfboard". A boy about Axel's age with his blond hair styled into a mullet and eyes as blue as the ocean.
"Hey guys!" he smiled.
"Hey Demyx, can you give us the usual."
He nodded and gave us the three boards. We surfed for an hour, got ice cream, and went back to surfing, well I did at least.
Axel
I watched as Roxas stood up and surfedin the pipe line.
"Hey, Ax," Rixak said gently.
"Yeah."
"Are we-,"she stopped and looked out at Roxas.
"What?"
"Are we in the next life now," she asked still looking out at Roxas.
"Finally you remember," I say standing up.
Rixak
When Axel stood up I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
"Ah."
Axel turned back to me, "Rixak are you ok?" All the dreams flashed past my eyes , every thing was coming back to me now. All the memories I had forgotten. I jumped up and hugged/tackled Axel.
"I'm sorry," I said as I started to cry.
"For what?" he surprised at my reaction.
"For forgetting you."
"It's ok."
"Really?" she says looking up.
"Really."
"Ok but I have question."
"What is it."
"Out of all my memories from before Roxas isn't there, why is that?"
"You joined the Organization after Roxas left."
"Oh," I say as I watch Roxas walks up.
"What's up?" he ask.
Axel lets go and moves to the side as I say, "I remember now". His eyes grow wide and he tackles me to the ground hugging me.
"Finally, I was worried!"
