Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts...
Axel stood on a balcony on the World That Never Was. He was staring over the dark, bleak city, but his intense green eyes were focused on something past it. He'd been utterly beaten by his best friend. It was obvious that any memories of him were gone, and Roxas was AWOL. Saix wanted everyone to hunt him down, before he could disappear again. Part of Axel wanted to join the hunt, but he knew even if Roxas came back, things would never be the same again. He didn't want to betray the Organization and give up any chance at getting a heart back, but he also didn't want to betray the only friend he'd ever made in this life. So, here he stood on a balcony, wrestling with the choices in front of him. If he'd had a heart, emotion might have been running rampant through him, and he even knew what those emotions would be called. He just couldn't... feel... anything. The green eyes hardened. Roxas was special, even in the Organization. Most of their ranks were filled with beings as cruel as the Heartless, but Roxas still had some spark of innocence or decency in him. Axel knew he'd long since forgotten anything like it, but when he was around his young friend, he could almost remember what it was like to have hope and even fun. Now, sleep, sweet oblivion was what he called fun. It was an escape from everything that he was facing, a time killer until he got his heart back. Once that happened, Axel didn't know what he'd do. He'd once hoped to be able to keep being friends with Roxas and Xion, Abut Xion was dead and Roxas was AWOL. He felt adrift, alone, without anything. Thoughts kept whirling through his head. Memories of the three of them in Twilight Town, memories of his old life, hopes he'd once had... All at once, the fog cleared. Axel knew what he had to do. Roxas was the only good thing in his world, and that was rapidly on it's way to becoming impossible to reclaim. Axel needed to protect his younger friend, and get him somewhere safe. That would first involve getting him back, since the fool had probably rejoined Sora already, and... and... Axel shook his head. Once Roxas was back, they'd be able to come up with a plan together. Screw the Organization, screw the Heartless, screw everything. Axel had one purpose, and one purpose only: Fix the mess that Roxas was in. If that involved burning creation to get him back, so be it. Axel smirked. Saix was going to flip, trying to deal with two renegades, and yet, Axel really con't bring himself to care. Roxas was coming back, ready or not.
A/N: My first Kingdom Hearts piece. It's a quick drabble about Axel's thoughts, and I'm not sure how good it is. So, yeah, leave a review. And, also, I'm looking for some new fanfictions, escpecially Kingdom Hearts or Doctor Who ones. So, if you've got really good ones, let my know in a review. Thanks, RoxasGuy13 out. Over.
