A/N Hey look a new story! I'll make sure OBASP get's finished but I'm not sure about WIE. So here's the new story and I must say I like how it turned out.
Once upon a time on a cold fall day Roxas was laying in a pile of leaves he just raked up. He was tired and wanted to do nothing but watch clouds move across the blue sky. It was the quiet, peaceful moments like this that Roxas loved.
But living where he did moments like this didn't last long, "Oh Roxasss!" said a blond sat up so he could properly glare at his younger sister. Naminé didn't even flinch since she always got the same look from the oldest Jecht kid, "Mommy told me to come get you for dinner."
Once Naminé was done relaying the message she turned on her heels and walked back into the house. Roxas got up with a huff and slowly followed her. Roxas was the only one out of his three siblings that liked the outdoors the most. But all too soon he reached the door and reluctantly went inside.
It wasn't that Roxas didn't like his home, in fact he loved it, but he just his family was to big for their small house. He lived in a 2 story house with three bedrooms and one bathroom. His family consist of his parents, Cloud his older brother, Sora his twin, Naminé his little sister, and Uncle Auron.
Once he entered the home he was greeted by the smell of tomato sauce and the yelling of Cloud and Sora fighting, probably over why so-and-so got more food then the other. Roxas rolled his eyes and took an empty seat between Auron and Cloud and reached over for the bowl of pasta.
"So kids," Yuna Jecht spoke up, "How was school?" Yuna was young. Her and her husband, Tidus, ad been high school sweethearts and had Cloud when they were 17 years old. Nether finished school so Yuna could stay home and take care of Cloud while Tidus went into the working world so he could get enough money to give Yuna a proper wedding and so he could take care of his family. If it wasn't for Auron's help they probably would be out in the streets now. So long story short the Ject's were strict when it came to school and dating.
Sora stopped his bickering with Cloud and gave his mother a big grin, "It was AWSOME! We had a sub in chem so we didn't have to take Mr. Vexen's test from Hell. OH and-"
"I bet you didn't even study." Auron's gruff voice cut through Sora's more chipper one. Sora closed his mouth and sunk in his seat.
Yuna was about to lecture her son but was stopped by Tidus, "Aw, come on Yuna, he can only be a kid once so let him live a little." This wasn't the best move to make. Yuna's attention was moved from Sora to her husband.
And thus the fighting begins.
Roxas picked up his food and went to his room which he shared with his brothers; it also happened to be the basement. Once he was down there he grabbed his homework and started it. He wasn't an A student but he did well enough so he wouldn't have to get lectured by Yuna.
A hour later heavy footsteps came down the stairs. Thinking it was one of his brothers Roxas ignored it and continued with his math homework, "You're using the wrong formula." Roxas jumped a little. H turned his head and saw his uncle looking over his shoulder. The blond doubled checked the problem and saw that indeed it was wrong.
"Did you just come down here to tutor me?"
Auron just chuckled and walked in front of Roxas so he could lean agents the wall and was beside the desk, "No. I just wanted to tell you that your life is your story. Don't let anyone else other then you write it." With that said Auron left the basement leaving a very confused Roxas

Roxas was walking around town after school with his best friends. Hayner was walking beside him and talking about how unfair the math teacher was or something like that, Roxas wasn't really paying attention. Pence and Olette were walking a few paces behind them and were whispering to each other.
"Lets go get some ice cream!" Hayner exclaimed and pumped his fist in the air, "Last one there's has to pay!" Then he started to run in the direction of the ice cream shop. Everyone followed with Pence in last. Roxas was in the lead till something caught is attention.
It was more like a person then a thing. He was someone Roxas had never seen before in the small town. He was really tall with bright red hair that looked like a hedgehog. The stranger seemed to noticed that he was being watched and turned and stared back at the blond.
Roxas felt his jaw drop. The man's eyes were a beautiful shade of green and underlined with unusual upside down purple triangles. He grinned showing off white teeth; his canine were long and looked like fangs.
The stranger started walking towards him and to not make himself look more like a fool Roxas turned and ran to where his friends disappeared to. He caught up to them right as Pence walked into the store.
"Roxas what happened? I thought you were in front of me."
"I...ummm...I saw something."
"Sure something huh?" Hayner walked out of the store and nudged Roxas in the ribs, "Wanna go ask her out after you by my ice cream?"
Olette's hands flew to her mouth to suppress her giggling, "Aww that's so cute! What dos she look like?"
Roxas payed for the sea-salt ice cream and walked out of the store ignoring his friends.
~X~x~X~x~
"Roxas can you do me a favor?" Yuna approached her son with a big smile. When Roxas nodded she continued, "When you finish your homework can you go to your grandfather's house? He needs someone to mow his back yard and I know how much you love working out doors."
Roxas sighed and got up, "I can go now. I only have some reading to do." H made to grab his jacket but was stopped by his mom grabbing it.
"I really wish you wouldn't wear so much black. How about you wear that red hoodie Naminé got you for Christmas last year?" She didn't wait for her son's reply and walked back upstairs with the black jacket in hand.
Roxas walked over to his dresser and dug through the draws and started to fling cloths out and scattered them all over the floor not caring about the mess he was making. He just couldn't remember where he put that hoodie at, "Sora!" Roxas yelled, "Have you seen my red hoodie?"
After a few seconds of silence Roxas heard Sora's muffled response from the upper floor. He walked to the other side of the room to his bed, "Why would it be here?" the blond asked himself but got on his knees and started to sort through the junk under his bed.
The hoodie was found, to Roxas' surprise, right where Sora said it was. He put it on and left the house wanted to get the work done before it was dark and ran across town. He was almost there when it started to rain.
"Shit!" Roxas pulled the hood up and kept running. It started raining harder and it would be pointless to work now but the teen was closer to his grandfather's house then his own. With any luck he would be able to stay the night and get away from his brothers' snoring.
Roxas was passing the forest that surrounded the small town when he saw a flash of red. Stopping in his tracks the now drenched blond saw the same redhead he saw earlier that day.
"Well well what do we have here?" The redhead walked out of the shadows the frost provided and and approached Roxas, "My name's Axel. Better memorize it 'cuz I'm only telling you once." Roxas couldn't help but notice the crooked smile Axel wore, it was like he didn't even notice the rain.
"My name's Roxas. I really need to get going. Nice meeting you Alex."
Axel's smile turned into a sneer, "Thought I told you kid," He grabbed Roxas' wrist and pulled him closer, "Name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Now Roxas, care to tell me where you're going?"
Roxas looked around to see if anyone was around to help him get away from the crazy man but due to the heavy rain the streets were deserted, "I'm on my way to Braska's house."
Axel wrapped his free arm around Roxas' waist bring their drenched bodies closer, "That's pretty far from here would you like me to escort you?"
"No, it's fine." Roxas tried to push himself away but Axel was stronger then him and wouldn't let Roxas go, "Let me go asshole!"
Axel leaned down so his mouth was by Roxas ear, "As you wish," Before Axel released the blond tho he bit Roxas' neck drawing blood. He let go of the small boy and started to head into the forest, "Remember Little Red stay on the path."
Roxas watched Axel disappear and rubbed the now bruise on his neck. What the fuck is his deal? Ignoring the storm, he started to walk in the direction that the taller man was going in. Why would he go here? There was a bright streak that went across the sky followed by a loud rumble of thunder, "God dammit! I should go back."
When he turned around to go back the way he came and only found the path blocked by a tangled thicket of rose bushes, "W-what?" The rain caused a thick mist to wash over the area. After a quick scan of the area Roxas saw a trail of blue roses and realized that he could only walk foreword.
Swallowing his fear Roxas pulled his hood off seeing how he was already drenched and the hood wasn't protecting him from the rain anymore. He followed the trail of roses and took note that nothing in the forest looked dead. In fact it didn't even look like the autumn season had effected the plants, everything was still green and there wasn't any leaves on the ground.
Roxas was walking for what felt like miles when the rain started to get heavier. Roxas was soaked to the bone and was completely numb. The only thing he could feel was the bite mark on his neck which was starting to burn.
A while latter the rain was still falling and Roxas knew that he should look for shelter. Mentally preparing himself for danger ahead Roxas veered off the path and headed into the mist. The moment he left the path there was a loud crack behind him. Spinning on his foot Roxas saw the path he was just on disappear.
"What the hell is going on?" Roxas screamed.
Not knowing where to go Roxas picked a random direction and continued on his trek.
~X~x~X~x~
Roxas awoke to a soft giggle. The first thing that h saw was a girl who was around the same age as Naminé. She had short red-brown hair and blue sparkling eyes.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Roxas said while sitting up and looking around. It appeared that he was in a cave. He was stripped to his boxers and his clothes were hanging by a fire close to the mouth of the cave.
The young girl giggled again, "I found you sleeping out by the lake. You didn't look comfortable so I brought you to mine and my brother's place" Roxas eyed the girl. She lived in a cave in the middle of nowhere? "Oh you asked my name didn't you? I'm Kairi! I'm 7 years old and my favorite color is pink-"
"Look what the cat dragged in." A cool voice said over Kairi's monolog. Roxas looked to where the voice came from and his eyes doubbled in size. Axel was standing at the cave entrance, "I thought I told you to stay on the path Roxy." Axel flashed Roxas a Cheshire cat like grin that Roxas returned with a scowl.
Kairi looked at Axel and then to Roxas and back to Axel with a confused look on her face, "Big brother, you know him?" She walked over to him and pulled on the hem on his shirt.
The older boy knelt down so his face was leveled with his sister's and whispered something in her ear so Roxas couldn't hear. Kairi's hands flew up to her mouth in shock and her eyes widened, "You're not lying right big brother?" Axel shook his head no. Kairi ran over to Roxas. When she reached him she ran a tiny hand over the bite mark. Roxas pulled away from her and hissed in pain. The mark still burned, "Oh it's true!" The little girl cried. She bounced in place with excitement, "So is he going to live with us?"
"What the hell is going on?" Roxas yelled. He stood up and walked towards the fire to get his clothes. He ignored Axel's wolf whistle as he passed him and started to get dressed.
"You're big brother's mate." Kairi said bluntly with a huge smile.
Roxas almost fell when he heard that but caught himself, "H-his what!"
Kairi giggled and continued talking as if Roxas never spoke, "Can we go visit the Outerlands? Oh it's going to be so nice to have a family again." The blond was starting to get amused by the little girls short attention span.
Roxas blocked out Kairi's on going questions and finished getting dressed. He was pulling his shirt on when he suddenly felt light headed. Groaning he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Axel looked over towards Roxas and saw him starting to slide down the wall, "Shit." He ran over and grabbed Roxas before he fell, "Shit! Kairi run down to the lake and bring back water." Kairi gave Axel a blank stair and watched him carefully pick Roxas up and place him on the heap of blankets that the blond slept in earlier.
The redhead looked up at his sister and growled at her making snap out of whatever was going on in her head and bolted out of the cave.
Axel sat net to the unconscious boy and brushed Roxas' blond bangs out of his eyes. His hand found it's way into Roxas' hair and he ran it through the soft spiky hair a couple of times before resting it on the dark bruise on the boy's neck.
The two boys stayed that way till Kairi returned. He placed the bucket of water by him and scurried away to let Axel tend to Roxas in piece. Axel ripped one of the many blankets to shreds and soaked them in the water. He gently rubbed the wet cloth over Roxas' face before laying it across his forehead.
When the sun started to set Kairi came back and sat next to Axel, "What's wrong wit him?"
"He caught the flu and I doubt the bite's making it any better." Axel's emerald eyes never left Roxas' face. Kairi reached out a tiny hand a placed it over one of Roxas', "I think he has to go back to the Outterlands for a while."
The young girl looked up at her brother and smilled, "But he's going to get better and come back right?"
"Right Kairi. Now go to bed." Kairi stood up kissed Axel on the cheek and walked farther back in the cave.
When Axel knew Kairi was a sleep he stood up picked Roxas up and carried him outside. He looked around to make sure no one was around before he started his journey to the Outterlands.
It was close to midnight when Axel reached his destination. He carefully layed Roxas on the porch and whispered, "I'll come back for you." Before banging on the front door of the big house and ran.
The front lights turned on and the door opened reviling a man who had graying hair, "Yes? Who is..Roxas?" Braska knelt down to his grandson and look around. He could swear he saw something red run into the forest.
