"I hate you so much!" Roxas shouted at DiƵ, whirling his keyblade around to his side. The projection merely smirked. The blond felt an uncontrollable desire to kill the man. How dare he mock him?

"You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good." Roxas' eyes narrowed as a blind rage flooded his veins.

These dreams that haunt

My every thought

Fill me with fear;

They're all so queer…

"No!" he screamed. "My heart belongs to me!" He slashed at the projection, trying in vain to shatter the unwanted presence before him and in his heart. But to no avail. Time and again he cut through empty air, a painful throb in his chest, stinging moisture forming in his eyes. He slashed until he could barely lift the keyblade.

Skies of blue,

That endless hue,

And friends and foes

Caught in battle's throes…

Suddenly, there was a loud hiss as the homeostasis bulb began to open. Roxas lifted his gaze to it as it opened, revealing the sleeping entity he'd fought so long to find.

"Sora," Roxas sighed. "You're lucky." He swallowed hard, memories of Hayner, Pence and Olette flooding his mind one last time.

Powers so strong

But to whom belong?

A single fearsome blade

Memory's key in shade.

Roxas' lips began to tremble in both fear and grief, and the fingers around his keyblade grew lax. He could feel the beginning of the end, his body slowly fading to nothing as it was pulled toward his brunette counterpart. He closed his eyes, a small pained smile on his lips.

"Looks like my summer vacation is… over."

Did it belong to me?

Was I ever truly free?

Riku, Kairi, Sora, too;

Who am I? Am I you?


A/N: I had this written about a year ago, but I never really wanted to post it. I figured it'd be a better idea to just put it out there rather than letting it sit on my hard-drive. -shrugs-
