I didn't want to fight him, it was orders.
He was asking for it though.
He knew right where to go, for my hearing aids, and I froze. Déjà vu. I knew it was over then and I shouted before fading.
Imagine my surprise when I opened my non-existent eyes to see him standing there, talking to his friends. What about, I couldn't say, it sounded like I was underwater. Irony. I couldn't see his face from this angle, and how can you expect someone to read the lips of an anthropomorphic duck or dog?
What surprised me even more was the fact that they weren't the only ones there. Roxas was standing there, looking depressed.
"Roxas!"
"Hey, looks like my dream came true." His voice was dead.
Axel had mentioned something about us having similar dreams that night. "Oh... yeah. It's great to see you again though."
"Sorry about that."
"It's not your fault." Silence as Sora and friends started walking again. "Hey, you wanna practice?" I tried summoning my sitar as Roxas said; "Can't. We're weaponless in this state."
"You've gotta be kidding me! I can't go without music again!"
"There isn't much to do except watch them."
Silence again. Then, "Why did you leave us Roxas?"
"I needed to know, and now I do." He looked me right in the eye then. I could feel his gaze pierce me.
"Oh." Silence once more as we watched them battle Heartless after Heartless. We came across a few other ex-members of the Organization, they seemed to be trying to enjoy themselves by watching the battles. Trying being the key word. It didn't seem possible to really enjoy anything anymore.
"Bring me to life."
