Well, heres my first submission the the wonderful fandom of Kingdom Hearts! yay! *cheers* This is written from a KH role play i do with my cousin on MSN. Ive only added description to turn it into a full story format. All the dialogue and events i intend to write exactly as we wrote them in rp. So, sincemy cousin is half the story, credit to her, MrsStevenJigsaw098 for half the dialogue, and alot of the plot line. Ingenius! ^^
Also, for thsi beginning of this chapter, credit must go to Ldrmas on deviant art. This wodnerful author wrote a short fanfic along the lines of this chapter, called Roxas's Nightmare -AkuRoku-, which inspired the beginning of our role play. No plagiarism is intended on our part for this, and our version of this is only included so that following chapters make sense. Please, if the author of that amazing fanfic is reading this and thinking 'hey! thats my idea!', no offense!
Anyway, since this is a write up of role play, updates may be sporadic. i have a fair bit of rp already done to work with, but coordinating ourselves to do more often seems to be an impossible task! Apologies if it takes a while to update. I can only write as far as we rp... Also, the chapters will proabbly be pretty short. Im rubbish at long chapters, so... if long chapters is essential to you, dont read this! so... may the Kingdom Hearts awesomeness begin! =D
Disclaimer: i own them! they're mine! =D ...ok, i lie... dont own a thing... damn shame...
Roxas stretched as he contemplated movement. It might be the morning, but that didn't mean he actually had any desire to move from his comfortable bed... not that he had a heart with which to feel desire, but still...
A banging noise down the corridor interrupted his lazy thoughts, and he frowned. None of the other members who had rooms on this corridor made any noise at all. Really, it was just him, Zexion and Axel. Well, okay, Axel could be noisy, but he was sure the redhead wouldn't even have opened his eyes yet. Besides, it was in the other direction...
Roxas dragged himself out of bed to the sounds of more banging, curiosity getting the better of him. A quick glance down the corridor told him it was further away than he thought. As he stood in the doorway, debating whether to go down the corridor to investigate, the banging came again, from just around the corner.
Frowning again, he followed the noise, stopping dead as he turned the corner. Roxas stared up into the huge yellow eyes of the biggest heartless he'd ever seen. He couldn't help the slight gasp that escaped his lips.
Almost at the same time, the heartless lunged at him. Roxas was too slow to dodge, and winced as the heartless broke the skin of his arm. Summoning the keyblade, the blond ran forward, prepared to attack the heartless. Though the attack was fast, it wasn't fast enough, and Roxas crashed to the floor as the heartless swiped his legs, leaving deep gashes.
As the heartless moved in for another attack, Roxas moved to dodge, but the heartless caught him in the side as he tried to roll away. A small cry escaped him, but was short lived as the heartless swiped at his head, silencing him. Unable to maintain them, Roxas let the keyblades disappear, accepting defeat. Would this be the end?
The heartless moved back as a slight gash formed in what passed for an arm, and Roxas slowly lifted his head, looking for the source. The sight that greeted him was that of his red haired comrade, stood in front of Roxas's own prone form, a deathly grip on his chakrams.
'You're despicable...' he heard Axel say, words filled with venom.
'...Axel...' he managed, though too quiet for the redhead to hear. He watched as Axel threw both chakrams at the heartless, leaving deep wounds in its chest. Axel looked at the floor for a minute, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, Roxas could see the rage flowing within them. When he spoke, the words were almost inaudible, but the imminent threat contained within them was unmistakable.
'Nobody lays a finger on my Roxas, you despicable pile of nothingness...' Axel seemed to burst into flames before Roxas's eyes, and he gasped slightly. He ran at the heartless, screaming, and throwing fireballs, formed from his very being.
Roxas's vision was suddenly filled with flame. It lasted mere seconds, but when it dissipated, the heartless was nowhere to be seen. Axel still stood before him, covered in flame, and breathing heavily. His eyes were bright orange, and Roxas could only stare with wide eyes as Axel closed his eyes, seemingly calming himself, letting the flames die out.
He turned to Roxas, and in that same moment Roxas lost his last drop of energy, letting his eyes fall shut. Axel just stared at him for a moment, before speaking quietly.
'Roxas...crap...you weren't ever supposed to see...' he looked away, rubbing a hand over his face as a sigh fell from his lips. He walked over to Roxas's unconscious body, lifting him gently into his arms, Roxas's head falling against his chest. 'I'm sorry...'

'Zexion!' Axel called as he walked down the deserted corridor, knowing the healers room was near. Sure enough, he emerged from his room a few doors down only seconds later.
'Number eight...what is it?' Axel tried not to let the desperation show in his face, though the tone of his voice betrayed him.
'I need you to fix him...' Zexion's eyes fell to the prone form in Axels arms, and merely pointed to his room, asking no questions.
'Through here...' Axel walked into Zexion's room, lying Roxas carefully on the bed. Even in unconsciousness, the movement caused Roxas to wince slightly as Zexion started cleaning his wounds.
Axel stood beside the bed, silent and unmoving. He took Roxas's coat from Zexion as the healer removed it to get at the wounds.
'He's going to need to get that to Marluxia to get it fixed...' he commented as he handed him the dark garment. After a while, Zexion looked up from his work to fix his eyes on the unusually silent Axel.
'You're awfully quiet...' he commented.
'There was a heartless. Biggest I've ever seen. Took a lot out of me...' he replied quietly.
'Maybe you should rest,' the healer replied, placing glowing hands over Roxas's chest. Axel watched as the blond visibly relaxed, but didn't make any attempt to do as Zexion has suggested. Zexion looked up at his utter lack of movement and sighed.
'Number eight... I'm telling you, you should rest...' Axel looked down at Roxas before quietly Zexion what he had done.
'The heartless... I had to use... I thought he was unconscious...' Zexion stared at him.
'You know full well that ability is banned in this castle...' The comment caused Axel to glare at the slate haired teen.
'It would have killed him!' he shouted, before wobbling slightly. Zexion brought a chair behind him, before forcefully pushing the redhead down into it. Axel made no attempt to resist. Zexion sighed heavily, before returning to his patient, sewing up the wounds.
'He'll be ok...right?' came the quiet unsure voice.
'He should be fine' Zexion replied, placing a glowing hand over Roxas's chest again and closing his eyes. His eyes shot open again as Roxas's breathing started to slow.
'Oh no...' he breathed. Axel's eyes widened as he took in the healers words.
'What? What is it? Roxas? Roxas?' he exclaimed, hit by a sudden wave of panic at the worried eyes Zexion was displaying at Roxas.
'His breathings slowed down... he's lost too much blood...' Zexion told him, knowing it was no use lying to the redhead.
'There must be something we can do!'
'We could try a blood transfer... but I have no clue as to what his blood type is...'
'How long would it take to find out?' Axel asked worriedly.
'About half an hour...' Zexion informed him.
'And how long does Roxas...' he trailed off, unable to finish the question.
'Less than that...' Zexion answered quietly. Axel cursed quietly under his breath before holding out his arm to Zexion.
'Use mine,' he said bluntly. Zexion stared at him for a minute.
'But...if his body doesn't accept it...' Axel suddenly stood up, grabbing Zexion by the neck of his coat.
'Use my blood, dammit!' he shouted in his face, eyes wide. Zexion blinked before replying.
'Ok, fine... just let go...'
Axel took a couple of deep breaths before carefully putting Zexion back down. He watched as Zexion gathered the tube and needles he would need. The healer attached the needles to either end of the tube, placing one in Roxas's arm, the other in the proffered arm of Axels'. The redhead hissed slightly at the sting it caused, but otherwise didn't react.
'You might want to sit down...' Zexion commented, eyeing Axels unsteady form carefully.
'It'll run faster if I stand...' Zexion sighed in exasperation.
'Suit yourself then...' he replied, starting to clear up the mess. He saw Axels legs begin to buckle out of the corner of his eye, and ran to catch him before he hit the floor, carefully placing him in the nearby chair.
'I-is it e-enough...' the redhead managed, voice barely audible.
'It should be...' Zexion told him quietly, carefully removing the needle from his arm. Axel nodded slightly, before blacking out altogether. Zexion sighed as he removed the other needle from Roxas. He smiled ever so slightly as Roxas's breathing levelled.
'Thank goodness... it worked...'
